Cover up: USDA to cut back BSE testing program

The old “saving money by looking the other way” food safety method. Makes sense. Actually, like most things, we probably don’t know the half of it. Have you “herd” about the Mad Cow “cover up“, “cover up“, “cover up“? Beef, so I hear, is the largest source of revenue for US agriculture at $150 billion dollars per year. The scary thing is, there may be a chemical source for all Alzheimer’s, BSE and CJD: Organophosphates developed by the Nazi during WWII as nerve agent weapon are now used in insecticides. At least one site hints that the pharmaceutical industry is behind the suspicious deaths of two leading brain CJD and Alzheimer’s brain researchers in recent years to keep that connection hidden. ( To avoid lawsuits in the billions, govt liability, etc. )

“…the [Mark Purdey / David R. Brown] chemical poisoning model matches with the epidermiological spread of CJD clusters in humans. It also predicts the incidence of BSE-type diseases in animals. The accepted infectious model fits neither.” – mercola

“Farmers were instructed to pour the pesticides directly over the spines of cows to kill the warble fly larvae;” – cdreams

“Cambridge scientist David R. Brown is hot on the trail. His recent research has shown that the prion proteins linked to BSE can bond destructively with manganese found in animal feeds or mineral licks. His latest, as yet unpublished work has found a tenfold increase in the metal manganese in brains of CJD victims. … manganese-tipped prions could be the principal cause of the neurological degeneration seen in BSE. But manganese is only the bullet — organophosphate insecticide is the high-velocity gun. It fires manganese into the brain by depleting copper which the manganese then replaces. Purdey says the manganese-tipped prions set off lethal chain reactions that neurologically burn through the animal. Phosmet organophosphate has been used at high doses in British warble fly campaigns. Privately, scientists will confirm that prions in the bovine spine — along which this insecticide is applied — can be damaged by ICI’s Phosmet organophosphate insecticide. But few will state it publicly or publish it as scientific finding. ” – cqs

So, there’s some background, now read the normal news story that everyone else is reading…

The US government’s expanded testing program for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) will be cut back soon, having shown that the nation has “no significant BSE problem,” Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns said today. – umn

Hear that? “No significant BSE problem” … but about 4.5 million people in the U.S. have Alzheimer’s disease and that number is expected to skyrocket. Are chemical companies killing millions and causing horrible suffering for families? Eat organic. Insecticides like Phosmet are used in the US on fruit as well as cattle.

Carved stone still mystifies scholars

In 1872, so the story goes, workers digging a hole for a fence post near Lake Winnipesaukee in the central part of this New England state found a lump of clay that seemed out of place. There was something inside — a dark, odd-looking, egg-shaped stone with a variety of carvings, including a face, teepee, ear of corn and starlike circles.

And there were many questions: Who made the stone and why? How old was it? How was it carved?

To date, no one has been able to say for sure, and the item has come to be known as the “Mystery Stone.” Seneca Ladd, a local businessman who hired the workers, was credited with the discovery.

“I’ve seen a number of holes bored in stone with technology that you would associate with prehistoric North America,” said Richard Boisvert, state archaeologist. “There’s a certain amount of unevenness … and this hole was extremely regular throughout.”

Boisvert suggested the holes were drilled by power tools, perhaps from the 19th or 20th centuries. “What we did not see was variations that would be consistent with something that was several hundred years old,” he said.

The analysis, which included comments from geologist Eugene Boudette, concluded that the stone is a type of quartzite, derived from sandstone, or mylonite, a fine-grained, laminated rock formed by the shifting of rock layers along faults. The rock type was not familiar to New Hampshire, but the state could not be ruled out as the source, Boudette said.

Boisvert said to his knowledge, the stone is unique. “That makes it very hard to figure out where it fits,” he said. – cnn

Fish with Human-like Teeth Caught

Fisherman Scott Curry reeled in the 20-pound fish on Buffalo Springs Lake and immediately noticed the catch had human-like teeth. A game warden photographed the fish and is attempting to identify it. General Manager of Buffalo Springs Lake Greg Thornton told KLBK13-TV in Texas that he has never seen anything like the fish in the 36 years he has lived near the lake.

A search for what the fish may be suggested that it may be a pacu, which is found in South America. Curry said he believes he saw another similar fish while on the lake. A Texas television station reported that lake officials will give $100 to anyone catching a similar fish.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story. – local6

Here is a different pacu fish with a close picture of the teeth. The do look human.
