Maybe the most shocking example of bad UN sanctions pushed by the US: Madeleine Albright says 500,000 dead Iraqi Children was "worth it" wins Medal of Freedom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omnskeu-puE

Canada wants trade with the US more than trade with Iran and thus bows to the US.

As do EU nations.

Examples:

https://www.rt.com/business/443315-swift-iran-us-sanctions/

Quote:

The Belgium-based financial messaging service added: “This step, while regrettable, has been taken in the interest of the stability and integrity of the wider global financial system.”

SWIFT’s decision further undermines EU efforts to maintain trade with Iran and save an international deal with Tehran to curtail its nuclear program, after President Donald Trump pulled the US out in May. Being cut off from SWIFT makes it difficult for Iran to get paid for exports and to pay for imports.

https://www.rt.com/business/444051-eu-fears-us-sanctions-ira...

Quote:

Earlier this week, European Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova pledged to find an effective solution, saying that technical work on creating the mechanism to allow EU trade with Iran continued.

“We Europeans cannot accept that a foreign power, not even our closest friend and ally, takes decisions over our legitimate trade with another country,” she told the European Parliament in Strasbourg, stressing that the bloc would not be cowed by probable US penalties.

> A country locking up a foreigner for breaking their laws

It is absolutely crazy to think that US law should apply worldwide.

The article does not even mention if Wanzhou Meng is US citizen who broke US law in the US.

This case might be retaliation and fear mongering similar to the case of Julian Assange which is pure retaliation and fear mongering.

Rare earth is not "that" rare. Not every rare earth element is equally rare. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare-earth_element

Quote: Despite their name, rare-earth elements are – with the exception of the radioactive promethium – relatively plentiful in Earth's crust

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium: Although neodymium is classed as a rare earth, it is a fairly common element, no rarer than cobalt, nickel, or copper, and is widely distributed in the Earth's crust.

Good practices and recycling could be very important with regard to costs and environment protection.

There is always progress if progress is financed.

Example: https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2018/11/european-ecoswing-buil...

Quote: A conventional wind generator making 1MW of power will have about one tonne of neodymium in its magnets. The superconductor uses about 1 kilogram of the rare earth gadolinium. It costs just $18.70/kg (£14.50/kg) of gadolinium oxide versus $45.50/kg of neodymium oxide.

I doubt that the rare earth is an important cost factor for such a turbine.

http://www.windustry.org/how_much_do_wind_turbines_cost

Quote: The costs for a utility scale wind turbine range from about $1.3 million to $2.2 million per MW of nameplate capacity installed. Most of the commercial-scale turbines installed today are 2 MW in size and cost roughly $3-$4 million installed.

AFAIK use of hydrogen is inefficient in several ways (creation, storage) and thus there is no reason to expect that hydrogen fuel is the next big thing for cars.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNV8qi_rJBg

IMO the next big things are:

- Fuel like ethanol. https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2017/09/18/solar-fuel-system-recy...

- Quickly charging batteries that are not affected by dendrites.

This is my opinion about IP: https://lustysociety.org/property.html#ip

You are right that I am against European intellectual property and intellectual property in general.

The industry should be open for or even leading modern lifestyle trends of rich modern free societies. In particular, I think these EU politics are insane and extremely costly and prohibitive and detrimental too a modern society:

- https://juliareda.eu/2018/08/censorship-machines-gonna-censo...

- https://juliareda.eu/2018/11/eu-council-upload-filters/

Poverty is detrimental to everyone and everything except slave holders and wage slavery.

A rich neighbor is better than a poor neighbor.

Technology removes poverty.

EU manufacturing has been transferred to China because of competition by low wages. As China advances, the people in China will hopefully demand a better quality of life instead of engaging in competition by low wage and low quality of life.

I am European and I hope that Europe will benefit the world by proposing a good lifestyle for modern wealthy societies and related products. I doubt that IP and keeping the rest of the world poorer and less developed is economically and technically and morally the right approach.

I like this note: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdLRiaCjRkw&t=2015

Unlike most physical goods, information can benefit everyone at almost no additional cost.

The sooner China and any other country can advance science and world class technology, the better for everyone. Europe will then "steal" from them.

If Chinese companies can produce products like cars and solar panels that help to fight climate change and air pollution and destruction of the environment for fossil fuel then they deserve their profits even more while VW and BMW do not.

IMO this "attack on intellectual property" is probably used to create their own world class technology. The USA attacked European IP centuries ago to build its own industry. Probably South Korea and Japan and any other advanced country did the same in the past to learn and to advance ASAP. The world has become a better place because of it.

But compare attacks on IP with politically relevant incidents like these:

- https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/08/nsa-tapped-g...

- https://www.thelocal.de/20160223/nsa-eavesdropped-on-merkels...

- https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/sep/21/british-spie...

Any content is quickly recognizable as what it is unless it looks serious and not clickbaity and was created to promote lies.

E.g. the Yugoslav war lies and the Iraq war lies and Libya war lies or Syria war lies and Russia "war" lies promoted by certain governments that where published by all "serious" mainstream media to justify and promote war; the worst of all crimes. Every war is a war crime.

> To fight fake news, we'd have to go to the sources

True. But many people do not check sources and do not want sources. The more sources you link, the more likely your message is ignored or downvoted or considered spam. Some comment section tools even refuse posts with too many links.

The EU fights against sources.

> Fight partisanship/polarization.

This is what every party/camp is fighting for. Maximize the own party/camp, minimize the party/camp of the others.

I agree that much could and should be done. E.g. voting with paper ballots every 4 years like centuries ago should be replaced by secure online voting that gives decision power to every citizen at any time for any political decision.

> Fight corruption.

At least in the USA, voting for Democrats or Republicans is voting for corruption. Corruption is a sign of quality for US voters. The more connected with the industry and the more money for campaigns, the better and stronger and more real and more competent the party appears to voters. Too few US people vote for the poor unknown parties with no coverage by the mainstream media that calls itself the reasonable truthful trustworthy non-fringe mainstream media.

> Stop emotionally framing things.

I doubt that this is a solution. E.g. too many US Americans do not care about their evil actions in the world. Maybe they know about them but they do not care enough. The US military is considered as a trustworthy glorious organisation instead of a tool of and for evil persons to promote death and misery worldwide.

Recent example after decades of war crimes:

- Yemen: Tackling the world’s largest humanitarian crisis https://news.un.org/en/story/2018/09/1020232

- Pompeo Backed Yemen War For Weapon Sales Profit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azx90nHiIeg

US Americans refuse to remove misery and poverty even in their own country.

> Reject online advertising.

I do not think that lack of money improves communication and reporting. Survival and work requires money. Money is received either by random advertising or by direct sponsorship by companies or by an existing paying loyal audience with a certain world view or by a revolution of the economic system that guarantees economic human rights and safety for all.

I will not further defend the points that I have made and still make. You just call it lies and link a book that I will not buy. Probably because you can not find valid information against my standpoint on the internet.

Wolves are presented as typical carnivores in the linked video.

The web page puts dogs in the category of omnivores like many experts do or did.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_food

http://www.vetstreet.com/our-pet-experts/are-dogs-carnivores...

I link these "vegan activists" because they were active to create the good videos that I can link.

I live in West-Europe and from primary school to university, the recommendation for food has always been less meat and less cheese and less fat and less candy and more vegetables including fruits and more fiber.

The benefits of a plant based or vegan diet have become only more scientifically validated and more accepted in the population. Also because of a growing acceptance that actions against climate warming and pollution and unsustainable and horrible animal farming are needed.

> But that point is not relevant to the post you replied to

Yes it is. Remember:

>>> So is it possible some people don't really need fish oil for well-being? Evolution might have rendered eating fish useless for these people.

> But people with agendas lying on their blogs or youtube isn't truth. Pretending carnivores are omnivores and then saying "look we're not like omnivores" is just deliberate dishonesty.

Yes we can it fresh meat and digest it. Even cows can digest milk and meat to some degree; remember the mad cow disease.

The human body works best with vegan food as main food or only vegan food in 2018 with modern vitamin supplements. This is a fact.

Regarding vitamin B12: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cavI_FnIrh4 and https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5TLzNi5fYd-Tyz9vI6Q2...

I am sure you have not watched the videos because otherwise your would reply differently.

Again, human physiology that you can not deny or call a lie:

https://livinontheveg.com/omnivore-or-herbivore/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXj76A9hI-o

By far most humans do not like and do not eat raw meat.

Most humans do not even like predigested meat in the form of cooked meat or grilled meat without further additions like salt and spices and other plant based food for the taste.

> People who lived in areas without fish also lived in areas without algae.

The point is that EPA and DHA is not made by fish. EPA and DHA can be bought in vegan form. EPA and DHA are not even considered as essential fatty acids. Unlike ALA and LA.

I have not seen any study what shows that ALA and LA are not essential. If you have one, please link it. I would like to know.

> And linseed oil consumption is correlated with an increase in all cause mortality.

Link please.

> Or switching from perfectly safe saturated fats to "heart healthy" trans fats even though it increases mortality.

What are you talking about ? Are yout talking about margerine and butter ?

But I agree that many so called experts are not experts.

Many organizations and in particular government organizations (e.g. EPA and FDA in the USA) affected by politicians are very prone to corruption and pleasing corrupting lobby groups like the food industry and the military industry and the fossil fuel industry.

But some truth is known in 2018.

Yes, absolutely. Fish oil is not needed at all. The EPA and DHA in fish was initially produced by algae anyway.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_fatty_acid

The 2 essential fatty acids are:

- alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, an omega-3 fatty acid). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-Linolenic_acid

- linoleic acid (LA, an omega-6 fatty acid). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linoleic_acid

Linseed oil (flaxseed oil) is a good provider of essential fatty acids. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linseed_oil

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) or DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are conditionally essential fatty acids.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_fatty_acid#Condition...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eicosapentaenoic_acid

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docosahexaenoic_acid

Experts recommend a vegan diet against heart disease and cancer.

Thanks. Many people would consider many links as spam as they prefer personal opinions without further facts and efforts.

The videos are already quite concentrated so I doubt that many lines of written text would be beneficial enough.

The main point is that genes are just blueprints for proteins.

Biology of Belief - by Bruce Lipton (full documentary) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjj0xVM4x1I

The most important factors in life are determined by the social and psychological and external and internal bio-chemical environment. One has much freedom to change and improve these environments.

It depends on how you define epigenetics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics

> Epigenetics most often denotes changes that affect gene activity and expression ...

> The standard definition of epigenetics requires these alterations to be heritable,[3][4] either in the progeny of cells or of organisms.

The most important factors in life are most likely not determined by genes.

If you have the time, watch Biology of Belief - by Bruce Lipton (full documentary). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjj0xVM4x1I

Genes are just passive blueprints for proteins.

It is your social and psychological and external and internal bio-chemical "environment" that determines what genes are expressed.

Also: https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/primer/howgeneswork/geneonoff

I am surprised that the article does not mention the word epigenetics.
