A strep bacteria commonly found in horses has suddenly made its way over to pigsand was isolated both in pigs and dogs this year. Quote
‘What is unusual is that this form of strep has gotten over to pigs’ and is causing instant death”
… there's not a lot of symptoms there - that is the symptom; sudden death.
So again this is not ASF (Asian Swine Flu) itself; this isan unusual form of a strep bacterium- but this tells us two things; first of all that theUS swine's are in poor shape, they're in poor health, and they are succumbing to these new diseasesright now - sowe're primed to receive ASF. And for a second thing this is reminiscent of a report I did nearly two years ago pointing out thatduring solar minimum there are immunosuppressive effects from the increase in galactic cosmic rays. Furthermore they have an effect on both viruses and bacteriacausing rapid mutations.
From "The Journal of Astrobiology & Outreach 2017: Sunspot cycle minima and pandemics: the case for vigilance"
And I'll read from the abstract briefly again (and you can see my previous report as well for more on this) quote:
“Minima in the sunspot cycle present conditions conduciveto the entry or activation of new pathogens and also for mutations of existing ones, both bacteria and viruses. Three grand minima of solar activity on record - the Spore minimum (1450-1550AD), the Maunder minimum (1650-1700AD) and the Dalton minimum (1800-1830) -have all been marked by a preponderance of pandemics – Small Pox, English Sweats, the Plague, Cholera.”
…and so it is not uncharacteristic for us now ina solar minimum to be seeing rapidly changing viruses, suppressed immune systems(both human and animal) and in fact in China it's also being reported just yesterday thattwo people have been affected with the black deaththere, so this is something to keep an eye on certainly a huge threat to the global food supply protein.
Now there's another interesting little bit of a nuance here. There is a British company called PIC – ‘The pig improvement company’ which was started with know natural breeding pigs, but they havesince moved on to genetically modifying their pigs– it’s now an animal genetics company - and they have struck a deal in May this year with China to produce pigs specifically that are resistant to PR RSV (it's another virus not a ASF). But you can bet your bottom dollar thatthis firm is actively at work producing an ASF resistant pig- in fact they're talking about actively producing an ASF resistant pig right now… and so I did an incredibly ‘scientific’ Twitter poll asking folks if they thought that ASF was an engineered virus in order to bring about these problems and actually a preponderance of people believe that it is!
Without even giving credence to that we can be absolutely certain thatwhatever the origin ASF is causing immense problems for the world's production of pork right nowand it looks like it will beanother vector for the centralization and consolidation of control of the world food supply into a very small number of hands,in this case those who control the genes of the virus resistant pigs.

Far less defensible assumptions that climate change has happened before and is therefore nothing to worry about – ahistorical nonsense often fronted bythose who once denied the very existence of human-caused warming – pose even greater obstacles to urgent action.It is crucial that we expand the space between these harmful extremes. Writing more nuanced histories of past climate change is one way to do it.
I responded to the above post, but by the time I was done, it did not fit the topic as well, as I would have liked, so I put it under:The politics of climate change: Green New Deal and other madnessFor those who might have missed it on Sott, astrophysicist Piers Corbyn (brother of Jeremy) lays it all out:

Maybe these guys can help her out:Assuming she even makes it across the Atlantic. This is not a good time of year to sail that route, and the weather is already nuts out there.
Somebody supplied that yacht - why not a solar plane? And it's not like she's going to miss any school!Flying Around the World in a Solar Powered Plane
The journey took a very long time—505 days to fly 26,000 miles (42,000 km) at an average speed of about 45 mph (70 kph)—but pilots Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg successfully landed the Solar Impulse 2 aircraft in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, after flying around the world usingonly the power of the Sun. Solar Impulse 2 is a solar-powered aircraft equipped with more than 17,000 solar cells that weighs only 2.4 tons with a wingspan of 235 ft (72 m). Technical challenges, poor flying conditions, and a delicate aircraft all contributed to the slow pace. Gathered here are images from the record-setting circumnavigation, undertaken to help focus the world’s efforts to develop renewable energy sources.

Maybe not the best time of year for a solar plane ride over the Atlantic. How about under it? Nuclear submarines are carbon free (if you don't count what's being exhaled/eliminated by the human operators)!the weather is already nuts out there.
Anuclear submarineis asubmarinepowered by anuclear reactor. The performance advantages of nuclear submarines over "conventional" (typicallydiesel-electric) submarines are considerable.Nuclear propulsion, being completely independent of air, frees the submarine from the need to surface frequently, as is necessary for conventional submarines. The large amount of power generated by a nuclear reactor allows nuclear submarines to operate at high speed for long periods of time; and the long interval betweenrefuelings资助范围几乎无限,使辊筒y limits on voyage times being imposed by such factors as the need to restock food or other consumables.
Current generations of nuclear submarines never need to be refueled throughout their 25-year lifespans.[1]Conversely, the limited power stored in electric batteries means that even the most advanced conventional submarine can only remain submerged for a few days at slow speed, and only a few hours at top speed, though recent advances inair-independent propulsionhave somewhat ameliorated this disadvantage. The high cost of nuclear technology means that relatively few states have fielded nuclear submarines. Some of the mostserious nuclear and radiation accidentsever to occur have involved Soviet nuclear submarine mishaps.[2] [3]
