Interesting choice

For someone who seems to do everything he can to remove freedoms, this seems an odd choice.

President Trump on Saturday signed an executive order seeking to hasten research into the therapeutic benefits of LSD, Ecstasy, psilocybin and other mind-altering drugs by ordering federal agencies to ease restrictions that have long limited the ability of scientists to study them.

The measure also provides $50 million for state-level research into ibogaine, a powerful psychedelic made from the root of a Central African shrub that has been drawing interest from researchers for its potential to treat opioid use disorder and other forms of substance abuse.

Utterly insane

 

We won't go into the future of alternative, ecologically sound, sources of energy - let China and Europe do that.  We'll go back into the past of finite coal energy where coal mining communities live in poverty and death while the earth is raped and scarred for no good reason, the air is polluted, and a few coal barons get rich.  Great plan.

Unnecessary to carry out the work of the Department?  Just what then IS the work of the Department? 

 Yes, and there's going to be a devastating four year gap in necessary data collection for research and development.

Destroyer of worlds

 If Trump 2.0 intended to destroy the country (and maybe the planet), what would they do differently than they are doing now?

The Trump administration has asked NASA employees to draw up plans to end at least two major satellite missions.

[...]

The data the two missions collect is widely used, including by scientists, oil and gas companies and farmers who need detailed information about carbon dioxide and crop health. They are the only two federal satellite missions that were designed and built specifically to monitor planet-warming greenhouse gases.

[...]

The equipment in space is state of the art and is expected to function for many more years, according to scientists who worked on the missions. An official review by NASA in 2023 found that "the data are of exceptionally high quality" and recommended continuing the mission for at least three years.

[...]

It is unclear why the Trump administration seeks to end the missions.

[...]

Two current NASA employees also confirmed that NASA mission leaders were told to make termination plans for projects that would lose funding under President Trump's proposed budget for the next fiscal year, or FY 2026, which begins Oct. 1. The employees asked to remain anonymous, because they were told they would be fired if they revealed the request.

 They are our elected administration.

Also...anything Biden did, Trump will undo, regardless of its success or usefulness.

America is failing

 

This is the worst timeline

 

Yeah, like Epstein.

UPDATE 08/07/2025:

Jerome Adams, Trump’s Surgeon General in his first term: “I’ve tried to be objective and non-alarmist in response to current HHS actions – but quite frankly this move is going to cost lives. mRNA technology has uses that go far beyond vaccines - and the vaccine they helped develop in record time is credited with saving millions.”

Lincoln Project’s Stuart Stevens: “At every point, RFK Jr has made disastrous and destructive personal health choices. He was a drug dealer in college. He spent a large portion of his adult life shooting heroin. He’s shot so much steroids into his body, his voice is destroyed. His drug use has helped alienate him from his own family. His 10 siblings have called him a national threat. Now he’s trying to destroy America’s health. This is a sad and broken man with deep self-destructive pathology.”

Trump was asked about it: “Q - These mRNA vaccines are the gold standard. Now your Health Secretary is pulling back all the funding for research - what is going on? Trump: Research into what? Reporter: mRNA vaccines. Trump: We're onto other things.”

Mehdi Hasan: “I would pay good money for a reporter to ask Donald Trump to explain what an mRNA vaccine is and what his administration’s exact objection to it is.”

Release the Kraken!

Scientists have detected deep pulses in the Earth beneath Africa – and it could tear the continent apart.

The pulses are made up of molten mantle rock surging in rhythm, the researchers say. The plume of hot mantle is surging upwards in pulses that are like a heartbeat, they say.

Eventually, the continent will be torn apart and a new ocean will be formed.

That will take place over millions of years, as the tectonic plates are ripped apart at rift zones like those in the Afar region in Ethiopia. That is where scientists found the evidence of the unexpected behaviour.
