Warren Buffett’s Coke Challenge: “Loaded, Not Loaded”

Submitted by a reader

Northern Ireland police investigating ‘Human waste found in Coca-Cola cans’

The night shift at Coca-Cola’s Lisburn plant was disrupted last week when machines became clogged with what looked like human waste, said a report.

“It was absolutely horrible, and the machines had to be turned off for about 15 hours to be cleaned,” a source said. “It was unusual because normally the cans come from somewhere else in the UK, but this time they apparently came from Germany.”

Blaming it on Trump’s “Friends?”

“The rumour is that some poor immigrants could have made that long journey in the lorry and that in their desperation were forced to use the cans instead of a toilet.

“It’s really shocking – and beyond the shock of finding something pretty disgusting in the cans is the thought there could have been poor people in that situation. And if they did make that journey, where are they now?”

.

The factory manager at Coca-Cola Hellenic in Lisburn, located in the city’s Knockmore industrial estate, contacted the police, who are investigating the matter.

“Coca-Cola take the safety and quality of our products extremely seriously,” the canned drinks giant said.

“The FSA in NI is aware of a physical contamination incident at Coca-Cola Hellenic in Lisburn. There is no evidence to suggest that any affected product has reached the market [but we can’t say for sure,]” said the Food Standards Agency in N. Ireland.

“I’m about one-quarter Coca-Cola,” and that he had seen no evidence that switching to “water and broccoli” would make it easier for him to make it to age 100,” said Buffett in an interview.

“I elect to get my 2,600 or 2,700 calories a day from things that make me feel good when I eat them. That’s my sole test,” he said. “I like fudge a lot. Peanut brittle. I am a very, very, very happy guy.”

His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owned 400 million shares of Coke, about 9 percent of the company, as of May 2016.

UK: ‘Fake science used to justify badger culls’

UK government risked losing trust on how it used evidence on important scientific issues —Researcher

The UK government is accused of using “fake science” to justify its policy of culling badgers to control cattle TB.

Prof Rosie Woodroffe, a wildlife expert at the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), says the UK government ministers were creating an “illusion” of success to justify their policy of culling badgers to control cattle TB, said a report.

Prof Woodroffe, who conducted the scientific research of culling badgers to control Cattle TB, which forms the basis of the current policy, said the government risked losing trust on how it used evidence – not just on its policy on controlling cattle TB but on other important scientific issues as well, the report said.

“When evidence is being cherry-picked and presented in the best possible light, it ceases to be evidence. It is fake science,” Woodroffe said.

“When it comes to (other policy areas) such as climate change and bee pollination, issues that have a big impact on lives and livelihoods of people, it is important that we can rely on the government to provide good evidence to stand up to scrutiny.”

Israeli-American Who Made Fake President Apologize For Fake Threats On US Jews

Submitted by a Reader

“He’s the guy who was behind the JCC threats” —Israeli police

An Israeli Jewish man has been arrested as the primary suspect in a string of bomb threats targeting Jewish community centers and other institutions across the U.S., New Zealand and Australia, AP reported.

In February, the fake president denounced the threats and rejected “anti-Semitic and hateful threats in the strongest terms.”

“The Anti-Defamation League says there have been more than 120 bomb threats against U.S. Jewish community centers and day schools in the U.S. since Jan. 9. Those threats led to evacuations of the buildings, upset Jewish communities and raised fears of rising anti-Semitism. The threats were accompanied by acts of vandalism on several Jewish cemeteries.”

“He’s the guy who was behind the JCC threats,” said Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld who described the suspect as a hacker.

[ After the “attacks” on Jewish cemeteries, it became immediately obvious that the entire campaign was a false-flag operation,” said Mike Smith, who submitted the report.]

Mass Die-off: Yellow Fever Decimating Monkeys in Brazil

Thousands of brown howler monkeys killed by yellow fever in federally-protected reserve in SE Brazil

“Yellow fever, a virus carried by mosquitoes and endemic to Africa and South America, has robbed the private, federally-protected reserve of its brown howlers in an unprecedented wave of death that has swept through the region since late 2016, killing thousands of monkeys,” according to a report.

“The way yellow fever has spread also concerns Brazilian health officials. As of mid-March 2017, they have confirmed more than 400 human cases of the disease, mostly in Minas Gerais, causing nearly 150 human deaths. The Brazilian Ministry of Health is investigating another 900 possible cases and concern is mounting that it will spread to cities, threatening many more people.”
