How to make frogs and sons LGBTQIA+

I don't think it's the water. I feel like I'm just doing what I feel like doing. Deal with it! Snap!

Sorry, Judy, I'm just not into it. - But your skin!

The herbicide atrazine is one of the most commonly applied pesticides in the world. As a result, atrazine is the most commonly detected pesticide contaminant of ground, surface, and drinking water.

Atrazine is also a potent endocrine disruptor that is active at low, ecologically relevant concentrations.

Previous studies showed that atrazine adversely affects amphibian [frog, toad, salamander] larval development.

My son wasn't until I made him mow our lawn!

The present study demonstrates the reproductive consequences of atrazine exposure in adult amphibians.

Atrazine-exposed males were both demasculinized (chemically castrated) and completely feminized as adults.

Ten percent of the exposed genetic males developed into functional females that copulated with unexposed males and produced viable eggs.

Atrazine-exposed males suffered from:

Scientists levitate frog. Now to transform it.

• depressed testosterone,
• decreased breeding gland size,
• demasculinized/feminized laryngeal development,
• suppressed mating behavior,
• reduced spermatogenesis, and
• decreased fertility.

These data are consistent with effects of atrazine observed in other vertebrate classes [like mammals and humans?].

The present findings exemplify the role that atrazine and other endocrine-disrupting pesticides likely play in global amphibian declines. Source: PMC (nih.gov)

Froggate turning the friggin frogs gay: Alex Joens conspiracy rant

(Whang!, 2/5/17) Alex Jones' rant about turning the frogs gay is perhaps his most famous, most outlandish, and most repeated freakout. It gets posted and referenced a lot. One has to wonder where he got the idea. It sounds ludicrous, yet he says it so casually and with so much certainly that it feels like he's assuming that we all already know about the gay frog subculture of West Pond. Look into it because it turns out there are chemicals in the water shown to have such effects, even turning male frogs into females. One is the pesticide atrazine. Another is a chemical called ethinyl estradiol, a synthetic estrogen found in some birth control pills. Although the research is clear that these chemicals are having negative effects on frog populations, there is much debate over what their presence in the environment means for humans.

  Don't touch plastic debris or your sons will be...

  LGBTQ chemical conspiracy theory: "Conspiracy theory"? Pesticides are good for humans to touch, drink, and eat, right? These synthetic chemicals like DDT developed by Monsanto Corporation and Dow Chemical only alter, cripple, and kill insects, microbes, birds, fish, frogs, land animals (and farm workers who neglect to wear full hazmat suits and hold their breath while working and enemy combatants we throw them at).

Fairytale: The Frog Princess

Russian royal Ivan (Swerdlow) meets a nagaraja

The oldest attestation of this tale type in Russia is in a 1787 compilation of fairy tales, published by Petr Timofeev [36]. This tale is titled "Сказка девятая, о лягушке и богатыре" ("Tale nr. 9: About the frog and the bogatyr," Bogatyr being a surname).

In it, a king who is a widower has three sons [princes]. He urges them to find wives by shooting three arrows at random and to marry whoever they find on the spot the arrows land.

The youngest son, [Prince] Ivan Bogatyr, shoots his, and it takes him a long time to find it again. He trudges through a vast swamp and finds a large hut with a large frog [reptilian (nāga) shapeshifter] inside holding his arrow.

• What species is this animal bride creature?

Beautiful enough for you, Ivan Bogatyr?

The "frog" presses Ivan to marry it, lest he will not leave the swamp. Ivan agrees, and [the transforming creature] takes off the frog skin to become a beautiful maiden.

Later, the king asks his new daughters-in-law to weave him a fine linen shirt and a beautiful carpet with gold, silver, and silk, and finally to bake him delicious bread.

Lizard people masking their bodies?

Ivan's [reptilian] frog wife summons the winds to help her in both sewing tasks. Lastly, the king invites his daughters-in-law to the palace, and the frog wife takes off its frog skin, leaves it at home, and goes to the palace on a golden carriage [vimana?].

While she dances and impresses the court, Ivan goes back home, finds the frog skin, and burns it.

The maiden realizes her husband's folly and, saying her name is Vasilisa the Wise, tells him she will vanish to a distant kingdom [another world or dimension] and begs him to find her [37]. Source

Yum, you're so rugged!

[(WQ) As fun as it is to laugh at the monster that is Alex Jones being taken down on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (2018), does atrazine affect humans? You better believe it, as do xenoestrogenic plastics. How? That requires more study, the bill for which should be footed by pesticide producing corporations like Monsanto Bayer Corp. and Big Pharma in general. And is this why the folkloric tale of a princess or beauty kissing a lot of toads, frogs, or amphibians includes this animal form rather than other less shapeshifting beasts such as skunks, fish, birds, or wolves? What did the ancients know or observe about frogs?]

How Teflon poisoned the world (video)

Georg Rockall-Schmidt, 6/23/23; Sheldon S., Crystal Q., CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

How Teflon Poisoned the World

(Georg Rockall-Schmidt) June 23, 2023. This is the story of how poly-tetra-fluoro-ethylene, brand name "Teflon," has poisoned almost the entire world with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which is cancer-causing (carcinogenic).

The amount of PFOA in the average person isn't always necessarily harmful. Nevertheless, PFOA can be found in dolphins in Florida, the rain in Tibet, household dust, and human food and water. It's basically everywhere. Yikes!

What will Monsanto do to the planet?

Wakeup-world.com; Laura Murphy, CC Liu, Wisdom Quarterly

A little Roundup goes a long way to destroying Earth. Just ask Lt. Pike as he sprays.

It is amazing to learn what Monanto, Inc. is doing to the planet. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the USDA's lack of action on behalf of citizens while serving corporations no matter how much harm they cause.

But the USDA now says it is accepting feedback until today (Feb. 27, 2012) on a new chemical called 2,4-d. It is a super toxin being considered for DEREGULATION for the benefit of Dow Chemical and Monsanto. Never mind that it will poison us, bees, frogs, birds, the water table, and living beings far from the fields being sprayed.

My letter will be this (cut and paste and submit it by going into the article and using the "submit comment" link):

Please REGULATE the ability of Dow and Monsanto to produce and distribute toxins such as Roundup and 2,4-d. For the benefit of those who eat, please RESTRICT their ability to patent crops immune to poisons. Corporate greed is destroying our health, nature as we know it, small farmers, and parts of the developing world exposed to their sales and litigation practices. I urge you to extensively research the effects these environmentally-degrading practices make before even considering deregulating or granting them more powers than they already enjoy. Profit is no excuse to wield such power when we all suffer for it when multinational corporations externalize the environmental hazards and health effects of their products. They are growing rich by DESTROYING the Earth as we watch it happen and experience the detrimental health effects. We do not own the world and hand it down; we borrow it from the future. Dow and Monsanto do not clean up the messes they have already made, such as the cross-pollinating contamination of organic crops. To deregulate these companies is to degrade LIFE. The blank checks given away as "corporate welfare" to billion-dollar companies is ruining our economy. And their chemical contaminants are ruining our world. Regulate Roundup and new generations of worse chemicals (such as 2,4-d).

What did Monsanto ever do?
Monsanto produces the deadly herbicide Roundup and 90% of the world's GMO seeds. Over its 111-year history monstrous Monsanto Co. (MON.N) has devolved from an industrial chemical giant into strictly an agricultural products company with $2 billion in profits in 2009, cut by half in 2012 because activists exposed its tactic of suing farmers whose crops it had contaminated for patent infringement. The pollen from Monsanto seeds drifted onto their fields, and the dangerous DNA lab modifications in the plants harmed the farmers. Farmers should have sued Monsanto for ruining their plants, seeds, and fields. But instead Monsanto figured out a way to successfully sue and bankrupt them with teams of corporate lawyers.

Protesters: Stock Market plunges 391 points

Wisdom Quarterly

(RTAmerica) Crowds gathered in New York's financial district to protest Wall Street greed, corruption, and lack of accountability. RT's Anastasia Churkina dove into the rally to find out whether this could be the beginning of America's own Arab Spring.

"Occupy Wall Street" protests make an impact
RT calls it America's own "Arab Spring" -- when ordinary people rise up against unbearable oppression. The impact being made by "Occupy Wall Street" protesters is calling attention to un-prosecuted multinational banking crimes and high finance shenanigans.

The national debt, credit crisis, and high unemployment rates are all tied in to what goes on in the guarded halls and smoky rooms along Wall Street. More than any other institution -- military, social, or religious -- banking is the seat of power.

Motivated by greed, pulling political strings, calling the shots at the Pentagon, CIA, and the White House, it has been about the money since early temples began issuing notes for the treasures stored in their vaults.

Stocks, Euro drop; Dow falls below 10K

Stocks drop after euro slumps, Dow falls below 10K
NEW YORK – The Dow Jones industrials plunged below 10,000 Tuesday after traders dumped stocks on expectations that the world economy will weaken in the coming months. The Dow fell about 200 points in afternoon trading. It has fallen about 1,340 points, or nearly 12 percent, from its recent high of 11,205, reached April 26. The Dow and broader stock indexes all fell about 2 percent. Investors also exited the euro and commodities including oil and again sought safety in Treasurys. That drove interest rates lower. More>>

Money: Stocks roll back-and-forth

NEW YORK – Wall Street ended a tumultuous two-week run relatively quietly Friday, finishing another back-and-forth session mixed as investors were cheered by signs of easing in the credit markets and managed to absorb lackluster economic news with equanimity. But while there was less volatility than during recent sessions, analysts warned that the market still faces rough times.

The expiration of options contracts helped tug stocks in different directions. Still, the Dow Jones industrial average traded within a narrower range than it had in much of the past two weeks and ended down 127. The market's big rallies on Monday and Thursday gave all the major indexes gains of well over 3 percent for the week — but that was just a partial recovery from the devastating double-digit drops of the previous week.

"The stock market has finally realized one thing — that the governments around the world have thrown in a lot of money and they're using all the tools that they possibly can" to restore order to the credit markets, said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Avalon Partners Inc., a New York brokerage house. "I'm sure we'll still have a strong bear grip to the market but I do believe the market was way oversold. I do believe we've made a bottom."

The End of the Economy

• The Sky is Falling (figuratively):
• Dow dives below 10,000 on credit, global recession fears

The end of the economy as we know it arrived today. Foreboding signs appeared two weeks ago as a preposterous $700 billion "corporate-welfare" bailout was proposed, miraculously failed on a vote, was retooled, and finally passed. Privatize the gains, socialize the losses. With a signature, president Bush officially made himself the "worst president ever" by signing the bailout he called for but could barely convince house Republicans to back. Then as the first trading day came and went (on Oct. 6, 2008) three days shy of the one year anniversary when the stock market hit its all time high of 14,164. Today Wall Street closed under 10,000 for the first time in four years. Today was also the biggest one day point drop (-800) -- although it was midday before the closing bell -- trumping last Monday's 777 point one day decline.

International markets tumbled on a credit tightening spree that ran through major economies. The Russian stock market had to suspend trading numerous times as it saw its biggest one day drop. The Chinese market, after recent protests that it was unaffected by the American mortgage and credit crises, saw a similarly precipitous drop. (Mortgage-backed securities that were trading for an estimated valuation lost value as defaults and foreclosures increased, which caused banks to tighten short term credit -- i.e., loaning to one another -- while the Bailout had no effect on declines).

In Europe, some currencies (e.g., the kroner) have already tanked. For an understanding of what the crisis is about and how and when it began, in addition to the failed bailout plan, listen to http://www.thisamericanlife.org/. For a more in-depth analysis of the problem, watch http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ (on fictional financial institutions such as the government-backed private bank called The "Federal" Reserve). For cheerful spin on the day's events, listen to http://www.marketplace.org/ (Public Radio). Former Lehman Brothers' CEO was cross examined in Washington for making 450 million while his bank failed. Tragically, this news is compounded by a six person murder suicide in Southern California stemming from investment declines and perceived financial ruin.
