Chinese police discover chicken feet for sale 46 years past sell-by date

Chinese police have reportedly seized 20 tonnes of out-of-date meat from a Vietnamese smuggling gang including chicken feet that were 46 years past their sell-by-date. 

By Tom Phillips: During a raid conducted in May but only reported this week, police in the southwestern province of Guangxi said they smashed an underground network that had been swamping the Chinese food market with substandard chicken feet, tripe and throat.

Among their stomach-churning discoveries were chicken feet that date back to 1967, a time when China was still ruled by Chairman Mao and the Tiananmen Square massacre was still twenty-two years away.

Li Jianmin, a local security chief, told the state news agency Xinhua that after smuggling the decades-old feet into China the expired meat was treated with chemicals, including hydrogen peroxide, "to kill bacteria, prolong the expiry date" and make the feet "look white and big".

Signals for Breakdown on Numerous Fault Lines - Golden Jackass

By Jim Willie: Many are the signals of breakdown, in the financial system and the Gold market. The day is near for release of gold from under the thumb of the criminal bankers. They can no longer operate in the shadows, recently in full view. The best information coming to my desk indicates that three major Western banks are under constant threat of failure overnight, every night, forcing extraordinary measures to avoid failure. They are Deutshe Bank in Germany, Barclays in London, and Citibank in New York. Judging from the ongoing defense from prosecution and cooperation (flipped) with Interpol and distraction of resources, the most likely bank to die next is Deutsche Bank. They are caught with accounting fraud and outright financial fraud over collateral shell games, pertaining to USTreasury Bonds, other sovereign bonds in Southern Europe, and OTC derivatives linked to FOREX currency contracts. D-Bank is a dead man walking.

What if we're wrong about diabetes? - Peter Attia

TEDtalks: As a young ER doctor, Peter Attia felt contempt for a patient with diabetes. She was overweight, he thought, and thus responsible for the fact that she needed a foot amputation. But years later, Attia received an unpleasant medical surprise that led him to wonder: is our understanding of diabetes right? Could the precursors to diabetes cause obesity, and not the other way around? A look at how assumptions may be leading us to wage the wrong medical war.

THE PAEDOFILE: UN investigates Catholic church as Christianity starts a ‘begging forgiveness’ fest

Speculation is rife about the protection of powerful paedophiles. Why don’t the lame-stream media/government axis scotch it with a full and open investigation?

The Slog: The major UN child rights protection body UNCRC having asked the Vatican to disclose details of thousands of paedophilia cases involving Catholic clergy, a plethora of statements from other Christian groups has swiftly followed. After taking office in March, Pope Francis himself said cracking down on sex abuse was the only way for the Church to save itself, by “acting decisively as far as cases of sexual abuse are concerned, and promoting, above all, measures to protect minors, help for those who have suffered such violence in the past and all necessary procedures against those who are guilty”.

I’d have preferred ‘available’ to ‘necessary’ there: and we still don’t really know for certain, of course, why his predecessor felt forced to resign; one shouldn’t hold the breath waiting for much honesty in that area.

It’s easy to explode the Government myths. So why aren’t the lame-stream media doing that?

We need a new medium to ask awkward questions

The Slog: There are many idiotic fantasies we are asked by neoliberal economists to accept: that there is no alternative, that wealth trickles down, that Milt Friedman was right about everything and so on. As their world falls apart at a snail’s pace (the deceleration having been paid for by taxpayer-funded nationalisation and subsidy – the two things these numpties claim are the root of all evil) the arguments in favour of a failing system become ever more desperate and mendacious.

The funniest was, without doubt, the bollocks about “There is a recovery, but it’s jobless”. Hilarious: rather like saying, “We’ve found some gold, very special gold – it’s made from lead”. Having been found out on that one, the latest ruse is the invented evidence of rising employment, and the risibly persistent attempt by the likes of Dan Hannan to tweet “Britain is employing more people now than it was under Labour”. Omitted from this tripe is the obvious reality: Labour employed too many people contributing nothing: these and others have become people with nowhere near enough money to live on, because they can only find part-time employment. Also, of course, the workforce as a whole is earning 30% less in real terms than it was ten years ago….whereas the top 1% are getting roughly three times as much. This is trickle-down wealth?

Apartheid: Inhuman Israeli regime shock troops detain little "5-year-old" Palestinian child for 'stone throwing' + The Thieves Banquet - Part II

UK BANNED Press TV: Israeli forces have detained a five-year-old Palestinian child for allegedly throwing a stone at a settler's car near the southern West Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron). The boy was arrested Tuesday at a checkpoint near al-Khalil's Ibrahimi Mosque, Israeli human rights group B'Tselem reported on Thursday. The five-year-old was then taken into an Israeli military jeep and taken to his parents' house. The soldiers then took the boy and his father to an army base before eventually transferring them to a Palestinian police station. At the Israeli base, the father was handcuffed and blindfolded. He was interrogated, beaten and fined for his son's rock throwing.

27 Facts That Prove That The Family In America Is In The Worst Shape Ever

By Michael Snyder: The family is one of the fundamental building blocks of society.  If you do not have strong families, you are not going to have a strong society.  Unfortunately, the state of the family in America continues to deteriorate.  The marriage rate has fallen to an all-time low, we lead the world in divorce, and about a third of all children live in a home without a father.  Our young people have been taught that getting married and having a family is not a priority, and many of those that would like to get married and have children are not able to get the kinds of jobs that they need to support a family.  The statistics that you are about to see should absolutely shock you.  American families have never been this weak, and this is an incredibly troubling sign for the future of our nation.  What will future generations of Americans be like if they do not have stable homes to grow up in?  Will they be even more messed up than we are right now?  That is a frightening thought.  The following are 27 facts that prove that the family in America is in the worst shape ever...
#1 The marriage rate in the United States has fallen to an all-time low.  Right now it is sitting at a yearly rate of 6.8 marriages per 1000 people.

Hello, I'm a Scientist - Episode 10 - The Boring One

logicked: It certainly does create a strong feeling of trust when someone says "Hello, I'm a scientist". This is why we should automatically believe everything "Chemist"/"Scientist"/"Professor"/Auto Mechanic John Morris Pendleton says. This time, he makes a thoroughly convincing and honest case to prove that...that, uh...I dunno, atheists suck or whatever. But mainly that when he wants to be, he is capable of being the most boring human in existence.
