Breakthrough Tech Can Test for All 307 Bacterial Infections Known to Man – Amazing Advance From Only 19
By Good News Network-Oct 23, 2018

In a world first, scientists have just developed a groundbreaking new platform that can test for every single kind of human pathogenic bacteria known to man.
According to the recently-published study, researchers developed the platform so that it can simultaneously screen for the bacteria strains, as well as markers for virulence and antibiotic resistance.
The exciting new tool, which is being called the “BacCapSeq” platform, was developed by researchers from the Center for Infection and Immunity (CII) in the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.

William Wheeler, New York Mass Transit Visionary, Dies at 69
Posted 5:11 p.m. yesterday
By Sam Roberts, New York Times
*** begin quote ***
William M. Wheeler, who as a New York mass transit official oversaw the strategic planning that inaugurated the MetroCard, belatedly spawned the first phase of the Second Avenue subway and dared, by recommending countdown clocks, to introduce the presumption that subways and buses would arrive punctually, died Saturday at his home in Tarrytown, New York. He was 69.
The cause was coronary artery disease, which had previously been undetected, his son, William Wheeler III, said
As the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s deputy director of strategic planning from 1986 to 1992, director of planning and development for the next decade and, since 2002, director of special project development and planning, Wheeler did not have much of a public profile, but he was persuasive privately within the agency and before its board.
*** and ***
“It’s hard,” he told streetsblognyc in 2013. “The only thing more important than owning a gun in the United States is having a parking spot.”
*** and ***
William Moyer Wheeler Jr. was born Sept. 24, 1949, in Braintree, Massachusetts. His father was an engineer for a manufacturing company. His mother, Betty Jane Reid, was a teacher.
After graduating from Haddon Heights High School in New Jersey, he received a bachelor’s degree in political science from Marietta College in Ohio, a master’s in public administration specializing in urban affairs from American University in Washington, and a master of science degree from Manhattan College School of Engineering in the Bronx.
Before joining the MTA, he was a transportation planner for the city of Yonkers and director of planning for the Westchester transportation department. Since 1983, he had also directed the central staff of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council.
In 1972, he married Diane Grisanti. She died in 2013. In addition to his son, he is survived by his daughter, Joanna Marie Wheeler; his mother; a brother, Jon Wheeler; and a sister, Wendy Wheeler.

Forced Sterilizations in Peru — Paid for by US Taxpayers
By Ryan McMaken Mises.org
October 26, 2018
*** begin quote ***
In countries under heavy US influence or occupation, the US government has a habit of pushing political programs that would be too unpopular to implement in the United States.
In Japan, for example, the US occupation after World War II offered an opportunity for American bureaucrats to push abortion policies they couldn’t win support for in the United States.
As part of a larger agenda of pushing a Japan-style New Deal and other US-styled interventionist policies, the US occupiers were more than happy to help the new Japanese regime impose a eugenics-friendly program designed to combat alleged overpopulation. According to Holly Coutts:
The centralized government in Japan, coupled with a political culture infused with socialist ideas and traditional loyalty to a strict hierarchy, allowed policymakers to create a far-reaching program. This same type of program was impossible in the US and South Korea [another country under heavy US influence] as it would not have corresponded to their public ideas… Japan would become the first country to legalize abortion for socioeconomic reasons.
But, at least in these cases, women, for the most part, took part in these programs voluntarily — the aborted children, of course, were not consulted.
*** and ***
International planners, of course, have long been notable for a belief that much of the world is overpopulated and that this problem must be “solved” with government action. USAID workers may have sensed an opportunity to partner with the Peruvian regime — which itself viewed the impoverished Indians in the Andean highlands as “problematic” — in efforts to implement a eugenics program in Peru. It’s not a coincidence that efforts at combating overpopulation usually end up targeting ethnic and socio-economic groups most lacking in both economic and legal resources.
*** and ***
This fact was emphasized by Ludwig von Mises who noted that population-control programs are, ultimately, attempts by government planners to determine who gets born and when. This motivation, Mises noted, is not qualitatively different from what drove some of the world’s most horrific regimes in their own attempts at eugenic planning:
It is vain for the champions of eugenics to protest that they did not mean what the Nazis executed. Eugenics aims at placing some men, backed by the police power, in complete control of human reproduction. It suggests that the methods applied to domestic animals be applied to men. This is precisely what the Nazis tried to do. The only objection which a consistent eugenist can raise is that his own plan differs from that of the Nazi scholars and that he wants to rear another type of men than the Nazis. As every supporter of economic planning aims at the execution of his own plan only, so every advocate of eugenic planning aims at the execution of his own plan and wants himself to act as the breeder of human stock.
*** end quote ***
So take note that Japan, and most of the Western world, have an “aging” problem.
If they call Megyn Kelly a racist for some words, what do they call those who deliberately killed all those black babies?
It’s got to rank up there with the Holocaust, Stalin’s gulags, Mao’s reeducation camps, etc. etc.
To really commit genocide you really need a Gooferment with its air of legitimacy.
To quote a famous anti-war folk song: “When will we ever learn?”
