Bottom Line: Enrichment of the lungs with oral commensal microbes was associated with advanced stage disease, worse prognosis, and tumor progression in patients with lung cancer.

Why Face Masks Don’t Work: A Revealing Review
>
.... The primary reason for mandating the wearing of face masks is to protect dental personnel from airborne pathogens. This review has established that face masks are incapable of providing such a level of protection. Unless the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, national and provincial dental associations and regulatory agencies publically admit this fact, they will be guilty of perpetuating a myth which will be a disservice to the dental profession and its patients.

The future of total police surveillance just got a whole lot bleaker, thanks to researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc). IISc researchers have figured out a way to turn a vast network of CCTV cameras into one massive surveillance network, which can target a specific vehicle or person. As VentureBeat reported, police can use Anvesha...

It's been known for a while that the NSA will intercept and bug equipment to spy on its soon-to-be owners, but the intellgency agency's techniques are apparently more clever than first thought. Security researchers at Kaspersky Lab have discovered apparently state-created spyware buried in the firmware of hard drives from big names like Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital. When present, the code lets snoops collect data and map networks that would otherwise be inaccessible -- all they need to retrieve info is for an unwitting user to insert infected storage (such as a CD or USB drive) into an internet-connected PC. The malware also isn't sitting in regular storage, so you can't easily get rid of it or even detect it.

sadly, these are the facts, your only choice is to buy hardware, made before intel and co. built malware in. Free Education here: https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary.html (edited)
There are good Thinkpad Laptops to buy out there, which are free of such stuff, and still usable today, except for hardware intesive stuff like games.
The UEFI firmware that boots up your PC is a closed, proprietary blob of code—and you can't change it out even if you wanted to. Here's why.

For everyone that is worried about the data being collected:
This is not your regular online-petition. This is an European Citizens' Initiative. It is an official procedure and the only mechanism the European Union gives their citizens to directly put topics on the Commission's table without being mediated by their politicians.
Sign the petition for a new law now! The future must be ours to shape. Our lives must be ours to decide.

The EU makes it extremely difficult to succeed even getting them to discuss something. Most ECIs attempts are striked off before they are even allowed to collect signatures. The fact that this initiative has been allowed to start collecting signatures is already a great success and means it may get somewhere.

That's only with cheap shit chargers which aren't properly isolated. If you buy proper chargers, they are isolated and this is not an issue. Assuming the CE (assuming europe) on the product means "Conformité Européenne" and not "China Export" (yes, that shit still goes to market), you can usually identify properly isolated chargers by the isolation symbol (See class II: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appliance_classes).

finwo 25-Feb-21 12:06 PM
More context: If you're able to open the charger up, usually there's a transformer inside (the newer small ones as well), so basically a bunch of copper windings around an iron ring or block (may be laminated). If you can not find a transformer on the board wit at least 4 wires sticking out (to the board), it's certainly not isolated. Having one with at least 4 wires coming out is no certainty, but chargers not having one should be in the trash. A simpler, less destructive (for isolated chargers), test is to plug it in and touch a grounded metal object (like a tap, faucet, microwave case, etc) with the metal ending of the usb plug. If it's a bad charger, either of 3 things should happen: the ground breaker of your house trips, the charger goes up in smoke, or the charger simply gets warm. (edited)

Everyone must read This and share it forward. It’s vital information. @everyone https://www.anthonypatch.com/patreon/AnthonyPatch-DNA-and-Mark-Questions.pdf Pic in the link above ☝️ “This infographic illustrates the HIV replication cycle, which begins when HIV fuses with the surface of the host cell. A capsid containing the virus’s genome and proteins then enters the cell. The shell of the capsid disintegrates and the HIV protein called reverse transcriptase transcribes the viral RNA into DNA. The viral DNA is transported across the nucleus, where the HIV protein integrase integrates the HIV DNA into the host’s DNA. The host’s normal transcription machinery transcribes HIV DNA into multiple copies of new HIV RNA. Some of this RNA becomes the genome of a new virus, while the cell uses other copies of the RNA to make new HIV proteins. The new viral RNA and HIV proteins move to the surface of the cell, where a new, immature HIV forms. Finally, the virus is released from the cell, and the HIV protein called protease cleaves newly synthesized polyproteins to create a mature infectious virus.” https://www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-conditions/hiv-replication-cycle In other words, HIV can easily be activated by being vaccinated by the new COVID-19 vaccine.
