And it seems that day could be sooner than first thought after scientists discovered a new superbug that is not just impervious to the last line of defence medication, but has the ability to infect other bacteria. But instead of destroying its virulent cousins this new strain of e.coli actually strengthens them by giving them the same antibiotic shield. The unstoppable superbug was first found in China a few weeks ago. Chinese and British scientists identified the first strain in a pig, then in raw pork meat and then in a small number of people. Experts, while worried about the potential effect this discovery would have, hoped it would remain in China. But this week those hopes were dashed when researchers in Denmark revealed they had found a similar strain in poultry from Germany as well as in a Danish man who had never travelled outside the country. the force behind the superbug and it's capabilities of destruction didn't just happen along they sought it out and released it into our midst |

"The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. ... Our own fight for the West does not begin on the battlefield — it begins with our minds, our wills, and our souls... Americans, Poles, and the nations of Europe value individual freedom and sovereignty. We must work together to counter forces, whether they come from inside or out, from the South or the East, that threaten over time to undermine these values and to erase the bonds of culture, faith and tradition that make us who we are. I am here today not just to visit an old ally, but to hold it up as an example for others who seek freedom and who wish to summon the courage and the will to defend our civilization." ~President Donald J Trump "...sometimes, you have to be a high-riding bitch to survive. Sometimes, being a bitch is all a woman has to hang onto." ~Vera Donovan "Pain or damage don't end the world, or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man-and give some back." ~Al Swearengen "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet." ~Mattis |

As EcoWatch reported in March 2014, the USDA now allows chicken to be sent to China for processing before being shipped back to the states for human consumption. One reason this story is resurfacing is a recent Facebook post by Erin Brockovich, who is outraged that this export/import policy exists." [link to ecowatch.com] Apparently it is not actually happening because it's not feasible, it is just the USDA playing politics. But it could happen. For some reason the legal framework is in place. *** Good deeds bring rewards, bad actions bring troubles. That is a law of the universe. *** |

User ID: 11213558 United States 12/10/2015 10:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't think that except for the chicken deal and seafood, the US imports any meat or dairy from China. Your wrong. Smithfield. China bought Smithfield. they are sending pork to china, not importing it from China. It is a one way deal, they want our pork.
