Iowa is outsourcing their IT work to Cognizant. The fine print gives some workers 12 months of job protections but also outlines the replacement rate for employees after that timeframe - guess where the jobs are going to go… The signed rate sheet has an offshore hourly rate column for "Location 1," identified as India. The rates are already negotiated: Service desk agent: $60/hr onsite, $18/hr India Security specialist: $135/hr onsite, $32.62/hr India Project manager: $146/hr onsite, $37.40/hr India Solution architect: $160/hr onsite, $45/hr India

How are Americans living in America supposed to compete with the cost of labor in India? 

NICK PLUMB: America’s workforce is under assault from three directions at once: Imported labor. Offshored labor. Automated labor.

FATHER MIKE SCHMITZ: You're the living continuation of the greatest story ever told.

Father Mike Schmitz is a well-known priest of the Diocese of Duluth, Newman Center chaplain at the University of Minnesota Duluth, and host of popular Ascension Presents content such as the "Bible in a Year" podcast.

This is what SSPX and online TradLarpers don’t want you to see.

This is what conspritards, podcastistan and narcissists want you to ignore.

In every age, it can seem like the church is on her last breath.  Today is no different.  Think of Good Friday.  On the outside, it looked like the end.  But in reality, God was at work hidden, faithful, unstoppable.  Iran in the early church when Christians were being thrown to the lions, God raised up Saints, like Ignatius of Antioch and Saint Polycarp, who's sacrifice strengthened the entire flock.  When the church was wounded by scandal in the Middle Ages, He called Dominic, Francis, and St. Clare, whose faith in radical poverty reminded the Church of the heart of the Gospel.  Most recently the 20th century when war and atheistic regimes seemed to blot out the faith, God gave us Maximilian Kolbe, John Paul II, Teresa of Calcutta because every age has its Good Friday.  Every age has its moment when people say, "This is the time. The church is finished.  The story is over."  And every time, Jesus raises up his body again.  Every time the Holy Spirit breathes new life where we thought that there was only death.  And that's how Saints rise up. Movements begin, holiness spreads because in every age God calls Ordinary People to extraordinary faith.  And he can use anyone.  There was a man who resisted God's call again and again.  We know that man today as Saint Augustine.  And when he had finally embraced the gospel, he penned these words.  He said, "Late have I loved you.  Your beauty ever ancient, ever new."  That's what God's love is.  It's as ancient as the first breath he gave Adam.  It's as new as the breath filling your lungs right now, every heartbeat in your chest, every inhale in your lungs.  You're the living continuation of the greatest story ever told.  God has chosen you for this moment, because when it seems like the church is on her last breath, when it seems like the story is over, that's when God shows the work.  The church is most alive.  

What began long ago is breaking into our lives today ever ancient ever new. 

SUZANNE HUMPHRIES: this virus was taken from the polio vaccine because that's where the scientist had to get it from because Humanity was being injected with it alongside a lot of other things,

This is wild.

Dr. Suzanne Humphries takes us full circle from Gain Of Function experiments using SV40 in polio vaccine vials in the 1950's, to how we "end up with SV40 [sequences] in the plasmid of our [Pfizer mRNA] vaccines in 2021".

I think part of it maybe to cover over the sins of the past.  I consider myself a bit of a medical historian and I happen to know that there was a situation in the 1960s where Simian virus 40, SV 40, a cancer promoting virus called "the perfect War Machine" by one of the world's experts, that this virus was taken from the polio vaccine because that's where the scientist had to get it from because Humanity was being injected with it alongside a lot of other things, and they literally took this virus, and they irradiated it in gain of function experiments to make it more carcinogenic, and then they would put it in animals, take those tumors, put the tumors in a blender, take them to the lab, and radiate it with a linear particle accelerator to make it more aggressive; and they would keep going in a circle until they got the maximum killing capacity out of this virus.  So this was gain of function stuff going on in the 1960s under the guise of "killing Fidel Castro."  Well it was never used to kill Fidel Castro.  It was turned over to MD Anderson, and the technology supposedly disappeared and then boom we end up with SV40 in the plasma in our vaccines in 2021.  So you know it's just been going on for a long time.  And if we wouldn't notice if there wasn't one survivor that is still around with us named Judyth Vary Baker, who is able to tell the story because she was there. Everybody else was either killed, actually everybody was killed pretty much within a year of this except for one guy, the guy, the head of it.  Anyway, it's an amazing story and it's one of the things that I'll be talking about at CHD this weekend. But this whole gain of function thing is again it's not new, and if they were to admit that they took a carcinogenic virus from the animal kingdom and then made it more aggressive and mass distributed it into Humanity by accident and then afterwards did this gain a function thing.  And we watched the cancer rates rise at that point. Everybody knew somebody that got cancer within 20 years of the whole mass vaccination program of the 1950s and 60s.

Oxalate in your kidneys = stones, and eventually failure Oxalate in your urine = blood, and the worst pain in medicine Oxalate in your gut = calcium, iron and magnesium bound and gone Oxalate in your bones = fractures Oxalate in your marrow = anaemia that iron will not fix Oxalate in your joints = arthritis that looks like gout and is not Oxalate in your heart = an irregular heartbeat Oxalate in your eyes = vision loss Oxalate in your nerves = numbness and burning in the feet Oxalate in your skin = ulcers that will not heal Every one of those is a plant's defence doing to your calcium exactly what it evolved to do to a caterpillar. And unlike linoleic acid, which is at least essential, oxalate is required nowhere, by nothing. There is no deficiency, because it is not a nutrient. You carry no enzyme to break it down. Once it is in, the only way out is through the kidney, which is the organ it damages on the way past. A stone patient is told to stay under 50mg a day. Spinach carries 970mg per 100g.
