You ready to be shocked, enraged, and totally weirded out? Then let’s get it started…
COMING SOON: High Tech Grocery Shelves With Built-in Cameras Will Spy on You, Store Info into Database: Well ya, we’re already being spied on at the grocery store when making a purchase, but you can blame companies like Chips Ahoy, Nabisco and Ritz for this newest method of spy-foolery. The surveillance, coming as soon as 2015, is described as “high tech shelves with built in cameras”, as reported by a Fox affiliate. Those nosy bastards want to acquire knowledge about you at the shelf-level, and store it into their database. They want to know who you are (your age, gender and other personal information) so they can better market their crappy products.
“But Josie, I don’t eat those bullcrap Chips Ahoy. I don’t even go down the junk food aisle, so this won’t affect me.”
Well sure, but I don’t think the spying will stop at the cookie aisle. It’s not the style of greedy corporations to merely take an inch. They want the entire mile.
BIRD-TO-HUMAN Transmission of H7N9 Avian Bird Flu Virus: There are now over 130 laboratory confirmed cases in China. This is a fact. But with China being so far way, should we really be concerned? Based on July 2013 data reported by the World Health Organization (WHO), the virus has a 32% death rate. That’s pretty high. There have been additional confirmed cases since this WHO data was released.
What’s interesting is that the United States CDC has been quietly preparing for a potential avian bird flu pandemic. I say “quietly”, because it’s not being reported by mainstream media. You have to dig for the information. With the existence of no safe vaccine currently available, the CDC has recently awarded a contract for the implementation of a National Nurse Triage Hotline During a Severe Influenza Pandemic. Interesting, huh? There are also plans for the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to be activated during such a time.
EAS is a national public warning system that requires broadcasters (radio, cable, satellite and wireless) to provide their communications capabilities to the President to address the American public during a national emergency. ~ source
This info isn’t meant to incite fear-mongering or running wild through the streets half-naked screaming, “PANDEMIC!!!” (but wouldn’t that be fun?). Please, just be informed. It’s important that you read the entirety of information as reported by POTRblog.com to understand the full scope of infection in China, including latest developments, and what our CDC is doing to prepare for a potential H7N9 outbreak here in the States. The preparations are extensive. Many thanks to POTRblog for his well-researched, continuing coverage.
Alrightie then. Carry on now. Don’t you need to be doing some squats or pushups or something? O_O
