Hello again SkepsisNation, and welcome to another installment of my Pareto Tipping Point Watch, an irregular stack o’ links and pithy commentary, based upon a concept I call the Pareto Tipping Point™ —
What's a 'Pareto Tipping Point?'
Here’s some actionable ‘information therapy’ which you can use and share with those less informed — a ‘heads-up’ to hopefully prevent being blindsided by the upcoming ‘discontinuity’ It appears to me that this event is just over the horizon... In our current centrally-controlled-narrative culture, certain
The PTP is getting closer. We all perceive it - that dis-ease we feel when viewing ‘the news,’ or when witnessing uncivilized behavior in public. Consider it similar to “the straw that broke the camel’s back,” or perhaps “the single snowflake that started the avalanche.”
Each day I read headlines suggesting the PTP is immanent. Of course, only those in charge know when. Or perhaps they don’t, since they’ve clearly lost control of the narrative.
Is there a hidden agenda? Who knows? I’m just a grump on a sofa, so I certainly don’t. But the following trends are suggestive…

Early life exposure to organophosphate (OP) pesticides has been linked with poorer neurodevelopment in children, which is concerning given the widespread use of these pesticides in the U.S. and worldwide (Grube et al., 2011). In our Center for the Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas (CHAMACOS) birth cohort study, we have reported associations of prenatal OP exposure with poorer cognitive function and executive function, and more attention and behavior problems from birth through age 18 years (Eskenazi et al., 2007; Marks et al., 2010; Sagiv et al., 2021, 2023). While we have observed adverse neurodevelopment with prenatal OP pesticide exposure with notable consistency in CHAMACOS, our knowledge of the neural mechanisms underlying these associations remains limited

In this study, led by a team at the University of Western Australia, the researchers combined the results of 11 high-quality studies (known as a meta-analysis) investigating the effect of testosterone levels on lifespan. The studies followed men for at least five years and found that participants with the lowest testosterone levels were more likely to die

The controversial decision was made to ensure the country’s public health services could “guarantee full coverage of medical attention for mental health” for the trans community, the Peruvian health ministry explained

The Department of Health and Human Services has suspended and initiated debarment proceedings against an organization after scrutiny of its work with the Wuhan Institute of Virology revealed a failure to monitor a risky experiment on coronaviruses, failure to obtain lab notebooks from the Wuhan lab and a long delayed grant report describing the the collaboration’s research in the months before the pandemic.
EcoHealth Alliance, helmed by president Peter Daszak, will be ineligible from receiving funds from the U.S. government. The suspension will stand until the debarment proceedings are complete.
Cheap Thoughts:
When the younger generations are finally allowed to know that “we are the way we are” because of man-made chemical poisoning (especially xenoestrogens), AND that fact has been covered-up for DECADES to protect corporate enviro-polluters, there will be HELL TO PAY. As a 19th Century Refugee, I hope I don’t live to see it.
And speaking of cover-ups, this guy Daszak is the best-protected human EVAH. When he goes down [soon], Fauci et.al. will have lost their immunity (pun intended).

Huge swathes of farmland are now being snapped up for carbon offsets and other forms of ‘green grabbing’
Whistleblowers
https://fortune.com/2024/05/14/whistleblower-epa-ohio-train-crash-forge-backdate/
The U.S. government has a specialized plane loaded with advanced sensors that officials brag is always ready to deploy within an hour of any kind of chemical disaster. But the plane didn’t fly over eastern Ohio until four days after the disastrous Norfolk Southern derailment there last year.
A whistleblower told The Associated Press that the Environmental Protection Agency’s ASPECT plane could have provided crucial data about the chemicals spewing into the air around East Palestine as the wreckage burned and forced people from their homes.
The man who wrote the software and helped interpret the data from the advanced radiological and infrared sensors on the plane said it also could have helped officials realize it wasn’t necessary to blow open five tank cars and burn the vinyl chloride inside because the plane’s sensors could have detected the cars’ temperatures more accurately than the responders on the ground who were having trouble safely getting close enough to check.
But the single-engine Cessna cargo plane didn’t fly over the train crash until a day after the controversial vent-and-burn action created a huge plume of black smoke over the entire area near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border
MELBOURNE, Australia -- A judge sentenced a former army lawyer to almost six years in prison on Tuesday for leaking to the media classified information that exposed allegations of Australian war crimes in Afghanistan.
David McBride, 60, was sentenced in a court in the capital, Canberra, to five years and eight months in prison after pleading guilty to three charges including theft and sharing with members of the press documents classified as secret. He had faced a potential life sentence.
Justice David Mossop ordered McBride to serve 27 months in prison before he can be considered for release on parole.
Rights advocates argue that McBride's conviction and sentencing before any alleged war criminal he helped expose reflected a lack of whistleblower protections in Australia
Whistleblower says DOT kept important truck safety info from the public
Before I tell you what happened next and why it matters, you should know there is a term for those types of collisions in which vehicles and people end up under large trucks — “underride crashes.” If you are not familiar with that phrase, you are not alone. People who have lost loved ones to those types of crashes will tell you they weren’t familiar with it either, until they were all too familiar with it
Cheap Thoughts:
Imagine losing your job just for doing the right thing. Imagine a friend or loved one being executed in a mafia-style hit just for revealing the truth.
The near future will require ordinary people to find the courage to step-up and speak-up for our societies. The whistleblower phenomenon will certainly be one of the primary causes of the PTP, and those brave souls who invite attack for taking a stand against corruption must receive our full support.
As always, thanks for reading, and stay skeptical.
