2019-05-05 at 6:21 PM UTC in African Swine Fever Outbreak in China - Intentional Attack?In short, there was an African Swine Fever outbreak in Eastern China (Near the North Korean border) which has spread like wildfire over the last six months. It was first detected in a pig farm in Shenbei housing around 400 pigs, infecting 47 with a 100% kill rate, mostly inside of 7 days. It's since spread rapidly to 23 other provinces, possibly more given that some farmers have been found to be hiding infections to stop embargoes and/or purges of their livestock.
China's pork production sector is huge, with an estimated 700 million pigs destined for both (primarily) domestic consumption and the export market, and the current outbreak has chopped around 200 million off of annual production, driving prices up and forcing China to import from other sources to satisfy domestic demand.
If the infection and spread of African Swine Fever among Chinese farms was intentional, it serves several geopolitical goals.
Primarily, crippling Chinese pork production forces them to seek foreign exporters to satisfy domestic demand; the US being one of the few exporters with the capacity to make it up. There's currently an embargo after China applied tariffs to US pork in the ongoing trade war though, so in order to import US pork, China would be forced to negotiate new trade agreements based on Trump's trade deficit complaints. Given the urgency of the Chinese requirements, the US would have the upper hand in negotiations and could likely pursue other demands such as ongoing demands regarding US 'intellectual property' and copyright enforcement in China.
Secondarily, the epicenter of the infection is close to the North Korean border - if it does (or for that matter, has) spread into North Korea, it would be devastating to local food production. Pigs are their primary livestock for domestic consumption, and given existing sanctions and trade embargoes, they have little recourse but to cave in to US demands if their food source is further decimated. It's worth noting that it's impossible to know if NK has been affected as their state media would not disclose it unless forced to.
There are several reasons to suspect biowarfare, specifically initiated in this case by the CIA. First and foremost are the outcomes above - no other state stands to gain so much from the decimation of the Chinese pork industry, especially during the US-Chinese 'trade war'. Secondarily this is the first time there's been a significant outbreak of ASF in Asia, again calling the timing into question. Third and most interestingly, the CIA has a history of using ASF as a weapon.
Back in 1971, during the cold war, Cuba suffered an outbreak of ASF which led to the destruction of around 500,000 pigs and the decimation of their entire pork production industry. It was declared an international crisis and a mystery as to how the native-African virus (which had previously only spread to Europe through contaminated meat products) appeared in South America. Several months later, an anonymous source within the CIA came forward and reported to the San Francisco Chronicle that he had been tasked with passing the virus on to anti-communist rebels in Cuba, but was not aware of the package's contents at the time and only discovered it several months after the fact. Six years later the Manchester Guardian did an investigative piece on the incident, finding several CIA sources to corroborate the operation, as well as ex-rebels who claim to have handled and passed on the package knowing what it was. None were willing to testify publicly though, so all we have to go on are anonymous sources cited in decades-old newspaper articles. As an aside, the CIA was questioned by the senate over its role in the incident, but the probe was closed without further investigation when the director denied involvement. They further made the claim that the US hadn't predicted the outbreak and as such pigs were vaccinated on a large scale, which was immediately denied by the Department of Agriculture on the basis that there was (and is) no vaccine against ASF.
Assuming this is true and the CIA did in fact infect Chinese farms with ASF, it's likely it was done without the knowledge or approval of the US president. He's been at odds with the intelligence agencies since (and before) his inauguration, and the CIA in particular has essentially worked under its own authority with little to no oversight since its inception after WWII.
I fully expect that China will find out if the infection was intentional though, which will likely lead to a covert response rather than an overt political or military one. Russia, China's primary ally, has as much if not more expertise in biochemical warfare as the US so we can very likely expect an escalation of competing epidemics in the coming years.
Finally, Infinityshock PM'd me about this, so thanks. I'd read about it briefly and didn't know the scale of the outbreak so I didn't think much of it at the time.
Sources are unfinished, I'll paste more in and add descriptions later:

Maybe thats just me though. Even if it was a chick i was really into. Generally i just want people to do well..unless theyre assholes. And i dont feel like more for someone else means less for me. Its not a zero sum game. Theres other thinmgs you can do, other people, other adventures. And if nothing else, you can just act like a normal human being and end up tagging her later on. lol.

Originally posted by CASPER 1. Make deal with parents to stat at home until you graduate. Tell them they can call the cops and have you evicted, but youre just afraid that this new "situation" will interfere with your grad. If theyre not dogshit parents, theyll probably give you the 3 weeks. Best case scenario, they forget about it in 3 weeks. Worst case- you got 3 weeks to get your shit together.
2. Sign up for food stamps/ cash aid/ housing. There's usually designated programs for homeless kids. Also Medicare or your contry's equivalent.
3.Call local churchs and ask about group homes/shelters. Or search craigslist or whatever- for someone willing to let you crash for free for a while. Or couchsurf.org or whatever.
4. Start applying to jobs NOW. Even if you bullshit all the references. If you have a friend with a car, try to work out some deal to borrow it, and then start doing door dash/food delivery. Or go the more traditional route and start talking to food delivery places- like Pizza Hut or something. Movie theatre attendant. Anything.
5. It kind of sucks considering i wouldnt consider you a "hard case", but consider starting a Go Fund Me or something comparable.Make a Youtube channel and take day to day videos of your life. Try to be upbeat or inspirational (people love that shit). Take videos with other homeless people to increase feels. Leave links to cashapp/ venmo/paypal/patreon/whatever.
Go on public computers at libraries and shit and download a browser extension like Honey. Most people probably dont do financial transactions on a library computer, but if they do, you get like 10% of what they save repayed to you in a quarterly check.
6. Sign up for all the free samples and shit that you can. Take those surveys and make like 10 cents each. Collect cans and bottles. If you find a restaurant that doesnt lock their bins, you can easily get 10 or 15 bucks in one trip.
Im sure theres morew shit but im bored now
Im so glad i spent 20 minutes on this. No regerts.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Number13 Then what's the point of your thread, nigga?
Fact is the us are behind the curve on most tech development, so even if this were real other countries would have done it first and for cheaper.
If it worked I'd doubt the patent would be released publicly; it has enormous implications for any vehicle, including missiles. The fact that the design has been released publicly but a proof of concept has not means it's likely been deemed a dead end for R&D.
Essentially what the design is is a thermos; two shells, one inside the other, with both shells electrified and a microwave system set up to radiate waves into the vacuum between them. I don't see how that could affect the mass of what's contained within given our current physics paradigms but there's a lot of theoretical stuff in there that'd take a LONG time to interpret without a background in itThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2019-04-29 at 7:45 PM UTC in Texas Federal Court Becomes the Third to Strike Down Pro-Israel Oath as Unconstitutionallol everyone replying isn't even American
No point reading it if you're not American.
TLDR
But basically, the governor is a faggot, signed a bill into law that forced people to take an oath stating that they wouldn't boycott Israel, and the federal court declared the law is unconstitutional. Pretty simple. Governor needs to be shot in the guts and plowed under for fertilizerThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

This right here.
For whatever reason, a lot of friends I've had turned out to be lesbians, and my sister as well.
I used to think they were all of the man-hating variety, but that's simply not true.
Some are, and they're shitty cunts. But most aren't.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Try attacking Trump supporters, they statistically own a lot more guns than your ilk. Hopefully one will put a 357 hollow point in your silly gay ass.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
