STOP CENSORING THE REAL NEWS
WordPress is HACKING this blog!
WordPress continues to hack FIRE-EARTH & affiliated blogs at the behest of its corporate clients.
Blog Moderators condemn in the strongest terms the blatant removal and manipulation of content.
Starting January 29, 2013, Google & WordPress have restricted access to FIRE-EARTH reducing blog traffic by up to 95 percent, enabling their affiliated sites and commercial partners to hijack (and twist) the news, analysis and core ideas presented here.
Blocking information, hacking websites and twisting the facts concerning harm inflicted to Earth by humans are major crimes against nature, punishable by drought, famine, disease...
Caution
Technical information and scientific data from the US Government agencies (NASA, EPA…) are subject to variation due to political expediency.
This caution also extends to the UN organizations (e.g., FAO, WHO…).
As of August 2011, FIRE-EARTH will no longer reprint photos from NASA, due to the agency's wanton crimes against nature.
New tick-borne illness mimics Lyme disease; infected person develops similar symptoms
Borrelia miyamotoi, a new disease which mimics Lyme disease, and is spread by deer ticks has already infected 100,000 New Yorkers since the state first started keeping records, said a report.
The new disease could be even worse than the Lyme disease, experts say.
“Patients with this illness will develop, perhaps, fever, headache, flu-like symptoms, muscle pains — so they’ll have typical Lyme-like flu symptoms in the spring, summer, early fall,” said Dr. Brian Fallon of Columbia University. “But most of them will not develop the typical rash that you see with Lyme disease.”
“The problem is that the diagnosis is going to be missed, because doctors aren’t going to think about Borrelia miyamotoi because they don’t know about it. And number two, if they test for Lyme disease, it will test negative, and the rash won’t be there,” Fallon said. “So they are not going to treat with the antibiotics, so the patient will have an infection staying in their system longer than it should.
There is no test for the germ as yet, however, the same antibiotic that kills Lyme disease also works against the new germ, provided that the right doses are administrated early in the infection.
Experts advise victims to watch out for sesame seed-sized ticks, especially during the summer months and conduct full body tick-checks after being outdoors.

Military ousts Morsi, suspends Egyptian constitution
Egypt’s first democratically elected president has been ousted by the military leaders, a year after coming to office.
The military has put Morsi under house arrest, and arrested the top Muslim Brotherhood leaders.
At least 46 people have been killed and hundreds more injured in clashes between Morsi’s supporters and his opponents since Sunday.
The most powerful man in the country now is the head of Egypt’s armed forces, Gen. Abdel Fatah al-Sissi.
“The address of the president yesterday did not meet the demands of the masses of the people,” Sissi said, adding that the military is drawing a roadmap with various groups to put an end to “the state of division.”
“The military’s roadmap consists of dissolving the constitution and holding early presidential elections,” he said.
U.S. military contacts with Gen. Abdel-Fattah al-Sissi date back more than 30 years, when he took a U.S. infantry basic training course at Fort Benning in Georgia in 1981, said a report quoting U.S. officials.
Meanwhile, President Morsi’s office released a statement concerning his ouster by the military:
“Dr. Mohamed Morsi, President of Egypt, emphasizes that the measures declared by the Chief Command of Armed Forces represent a military coup d’état, which we categorically reject, in whole or part by all the honest honorable men who struggled for the transformation to democracy. The president stresses, in his capacity as the president of the republic and chief commander of armed forces, that all the citizens, civilians and militarians, leaders and soldiers, are required to adhere to the Constitution and law; not to respond to this coup which will throw Egypt back to the dark ages; and to maintain peaceful behaviors and avoid bloodshed.”
At least a dozen demonstrators have been killed and about 500 others wounded by the Egyptian army following a third day of clashes in a new round of uprising as the winter of the so called “Arab Spring” deepens.
Increasingly, the Egyptians are realizing that what they actually participated in wasn’t a “revolution,” but a coup d’etat, cunningly orchestrated by the military and its paymasters and carried out on the back of a mass uprising.
Egypt is Israel’s next-door neighbor. Hell would freeze over before Egyptians are allowed to have a functioning democracy!
