I just did a quick calculation. There are about 130,000 K-12 schools in the US. If 460,000 kids went missing every year, that would be 460,000/130,000 = 3.5 kids PER school, PER year. So - imagine if 3 kids went missing at YOUR kid's school, EVERY YEAR! This would be the most talked-about crisis in our lives. Somehow, these things are supposedly happening 'somewhere' but not in your own school.
Well, first of all, are you asserting they are being killed or kept alive? You can't have it both ways. If they are being killed, what's the point, and if they are being kept alive, where are they kept?
But another poster on here just made a far more relevant point. For that volume of children to disappear, we'd be seeing several children disappearing from EVERY school in the country, EVERY year. There is no way that level of disappearance is going to go unnoticed.
Great point, to focus on the effect of a missing child on the school - no way such volumes of missing kids would go unnoticed.
There was a local story in my 'hood that a mixed-race parent was arrested because some 'child trafficking' warrior called the cops when they saw a dark-skinned adult with a white-skinned child; they assumed this must be a kidnapped child. And there was a story on this forum recently suggesting that mask-wearing is a ploy to help with the kidnapping of children, since by wearing a mask, you can't hear the child scream! Try closing your lips and then shouting at the top of your lungs - you don't need to open your mouth to make a noise!
All this 'child eating cabal' nonsense is diverting attention from the real problems of child trafficking.
"The DJIA hit a market low of 6,469.95 on March 6, 2009, having lost over 54% of its value since the October 9, 2007 highs.The bear market reversed course on March 9, 2009, as the DJIA rebounded more than 20% from its low to 7924.56 after a mere three weeks of gains."
I remember it very well; I was heavily invested in the market at the time and it was gut-wrenching. I then watched it soar through Obarmy's presidency. I don't say that to support Obarmy, just to present some facts.
What this illustrates is the need to diversify our power grid and implement more local storage, including batteries. As soon as I can afford it, I'm getting solar panels AND storage batteries, and I'm actually more interested in the batteries than the solar!
Another interesting angle on this is the impact of regulations. Back in the 70s, the average car got well under 20mpg. Today you can buy cars getting 40+ mpg. If it weren't for regulations, this would never have happened. Whatever else you think of 'climate change', dependence on oil is not a good thing, and wasting the finite amount of oil we do have is not a good idea.
Thanks for your courage in posting this. There is so much hysteria around this topic and we need much clearer heads. There is a very real problem with missing children and it has nothing to do with satanic cabals and child-eating monsters / harvesting of adrenochrome ...
Thanks for a rational post on this topic. It's madness to suggest half-a-million kids are literally disappearing every year.
So let's consider California as an example. US population = 330M. California population = 40M. 40/330 = 12%. So CA has 12% of the US population. 12% of 460,000 missing kids = 55,000. Two biggest population centers in CA are LA and SF bay area. If 25,000 kids went missing EVERY YEAR, in SF or LA, could that go unnoticed? What happens to them? Where are they kept?
But the overwhelming majority ARE found safe! Most reports are from parents reporting their kids missing when they don't come home from school, only to later remember their kids went to the game practice, or to their friends, or whatever. And some are teenagers who 'run away'.
If half-a-million kids went missing, per year, and assuming they are not killed (what would be the point of that), then where are they? How do you house them without detection?
Way too big a topic for here, but what sealed the deal for me on climate change was the realization that it only took a 4C drop in temperature for the ice age to occur. That is - today's temps are only 4C higher than they were during the ice age. So 4C is a helluva lot when you look at the average temp overall for the world. So the fact we have warmed by 1C in the past 50 or so years, and are on a trajectory to warm by more than 4C in the next 100 years, is quite significant.
Very hard topic to discuss as it's so polarized now, but - as an engineer / scientist - it was the small amount of change required to have big impact that got me.
Exactly. Get involved. Everyone looks at these scumbags in washington, but no one really pays attention to the cold hard fact that these people worked their way up there (mostly) by starting in local politics and growing from there. Now, I'd rather have a root canal than do that for a living, but if you want change, you can achieve it by getting involved. Sitting behind a keyboard, or stocking up on weapons, may seem 'cool' but isn't going to achieve jack shit.
Right, so the precipitous drop from 2007 to 2009 happened largely under Bush's watch, not Obarmy's. That's the only point I'm making. It then rose to 19,900 by the end of his term, so not really an argument against Obarmy.
You are saying gas was only $1.80/gal before? Wow! Where is that? I've never heard of gas being that cheap. My gas prices (AZ) have remained relatively stable for at least several months.
A quick review of stats suggests the national average was $2.20 in 2016, rising to $2.79 in 2018, falling back to $2.20 in 2020.
He hasn't stepped down. I see calls from OTHERS suggesting he should, but no reports that he has any intention to do so. I personally think he's grossly out of his depth and think it would be a step in the right direction, but what I think isn't what is happening.
Yes, but ... it makes absolutely NO sense that Hillary is still free if that video really exists. Anyone can accuse anyone of anything. And in today's world, all it takes is one person to dream up an accusation, another person to reference that accusation and now we have a collection of people all saying something is true. We HAVE to ground ourselves in some form of reality and that reality requires proof. So if someone has indeed got this video, it needs to be seen. Sorry, but Frazzledrip is total BS in my opinion.
stock market is about to dive. As it did during Hussein's days. Is this a reference to Obarmy? Stock market went way up under Obarmy. It nose-dived at the end of Bush's term (had nowhere else to go but up). I just checked; Dow was at 6,500 around March 3 2009 and was at 19,900 Jan 2017 when he left office.
So if he's a crony, can we be sure there aren't more cronies / DS folks in high levels of the military? That's what I'm struggling with ... if DS is so powerful/pervasive, why shouldn't they also control the military?
Yeah, THAT's never happened before :) !!
