The reason the Russian people arrived to the hospital naked was that they were doused with water after their clothes were removed. The plastic was to contain any radioactive material in the water on their bodies.

My sincerest sympathies for any Russian people contaminated and perhaps dead by now. My sympathies to their families and friends and also to the Russia government for losing their people in such a terrible accident.

Watch what they do and not what they say.

The explosions at the Russian military depot went on for at least a full day. The inventory will never be known by The West, but, they need to protect from radiation dispersed by the continuous explosions and carried by wind AND water.

Cesium 137 was found in the muscle of the Russian brought to the hospital because it was a projectile. The radiation wasn't the only emission, the actual cesium was exploded. That means wherever the cesium landed became radioactive. The explosion is not contained. The cesium isotope was exploded by outside forces. The contamination area is large. The waters are worrisome and should be approached with caution. Isotopes in the men are mostly likely in the water as well for the same reason, it was pulverized to small projectiles. 

Please be careful with human life when investigating any of these dynamics.

You will excuse me, but, the same thing happened at Chernobyl. Is this a particular talent Russia has when it comes to using nuclear material? Russia is doing it wrong. Very wrong.

The study hasn't been duplicated.

What effects could lead have on my baby? (click here)

High levels of lead during pregnancy can cause miscarriage and stillbirth. Other pregnancy problems, such as low birth weight/poor growth, premature delivery, and preeclampsia (pregnancy complications, such as high blood pressure, that usually happens after week 20) can also occur. The most serious effects of high maternal lead levels on babies are learning and behavior problems. Even with small amounts of lead exposure, there may be mild learning disabilities. A higher chance of physical birth defects has not been reported....

This is reported in Wikipedia with the reference to Grant. 

Lead affects both the male and female reproductive systems. In men, when blood lead levels exceed 40 μg/dL, sperm count is reduced and changes occur in volume of sperm, their motility, and their morphology.

It takes 23 sets of chromosomes for the growth of a human fetus. One set from the father the other from the mother. The fetus is brought to a viable birth because of the health of both parents chromosomes.

The point here is that the Hurley study does not portray the majority of studies in peer-reviewed journals. This may be the first article of it's kind, but, it does not carry brevity in comparison to other widely validated studies. The Hurley study is in question compared to all others stating otherwise.

There is no way the women and men that were effected by the high lead content water had the same blood levels before the water was switched to Flint River water as drinking water. That is not a valid finding. In order to validate those lead levels in women from Flint other populations receiving the pre-Flint River water would have to be tested. I believe the people of Flint were receiving water from Detroit before the Flint River water. Women receiving that same Detroit water would have to be tested to validate the Flint women pre-Flint water. There is no way that finding is valid.

Flint - A study set to be published next month (click here) in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology suggests that Flint water did not increase blood lead levels among women of childbearing age, making it “extremely unlikely” they experienced an increase in stillborn deliveries as a result of the city’s water crisis.

The peer-reviewed paper authored by Dr. Hernan F. Gomez of Hurley Medical Center and others, compared the blood lead levels from a small sample of Flint women ages 12-50 before, during and after residents were exposed to improperly treated water drawn from the Flint River in parts of 2014 and 2015....

...Professors David Slusky and Daniel Grossman released a working paper in 2017 that compared Flint birth and death certificates with those issued in other Michigan cities in a several-year time period before Flint changed water sources and after its use of the river.

That study concluded Flint River water caused lower fertility rates and higher infant death rates.

According to Slusky and Grossman’s analysis, after Flint switched its water source from Detroit to Flint River water in 2014, the city’s fertility rates decreased by 12 percent among Flint women, while fetal death rates rose by 58 percent.

The USA is losing their family farms. They are struggling to stay successful. This is wrong. It is just plain wrong.

There are no more hard-working Americans. The day starts before the sun comes up and ends when exhaustion sets in; so why do they do it? The family farm is an institution that dates back to the earliest days of the country. In the 1970s they were under seige because of expanding commercial farms and the increased costs of farm equipment needed to till more acreage to keep afloat.

The Family Farm is the place where the love of the work replaces the long hours and hard work. They grew up as a farmer's child and they passed it on to their children. This American institution is the strongest backbone of the USA. They have a strong sense of community and value life. We can't let them fail. This is a tragedy occurring in plain sight, it is time they find allies and continue their very valuable work.

Cooper Garlisch, age 2 ½, (click here) was not about to lose the Cutest Little Farmer contest. Climbing atop his red toy tractor, he scooted himself across a stage at the Illinois State Fair with gusto, drawing cheers from an audience that seemed to appreciate the showmanship.

His dad, Scott Garlisch, watched with amusement, soaking in one of the sweeter events of the annual celebration of all things agriculture — and putting aside, for a moment, the stresses weighing on his farm as the industry faces what some say is the worst year in memory.

“I have two young boys, I want to ensure their future if they want to be in ag like my dad was, like my grandpa was and like I’m involved in,” said Garlisch, 33, whose family grows corn and soybeans and raises cattle in Mason County. “And it’s not good times.”...

...Bad weather. Trade uncertainties. Volatile prices. Paired with the high cost of land, equipment and fertilizer, “I tell ya, it’s a nightmare,” said Roger Brasel, 72, who has a trucking operation as well as a hog, corn and soybean farm in Milford.

“In 50 years of farming, I have never seen anything like this year — never,” said Caroline Bartz, 70, as she lingered in the swine barn with her family, which raises hogs and grows hay and other crops on about 500 acres in Morgan County....

The USA has dairy farmers going out of business? Where are the financial supplements that are suppose to keep them going?

Congresswoman Tlaib's change in plans to visit her grandmother in the West Bank is a disappointment. I think her strength is acting in the best interest of her family and demonstrating their lives in oppression.

I don't see how one can ask for compassion in a humanitarian plea and then become militant regarding the permission granted. 

I wish her well.

Thank you.

It would be uncharacteristic of Israel to maintain separation of families. The recognition of Congresswoman Tlaib's need to embrace her family is indeed a humanitarian act. Thank you.

Israel (click here) has decided to approve a petition by U.S. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib to enter Israel on 'humanitarian grounds' so she may visit her Palestinian grandmother, the Interior Ministry announced Friday, this after it barred her from entering the country due to her support for the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement.

Trump has always had a love component in his campaign. No question. It is just that the definition is odd.

Kim Jung Un is probably the only ethnicity he has ever fallen in love with. Is that Peace Prize still in the running? Got to keep your eye on the prize. It is the truth, it is only the truth.
