There is an ocean's worth of clean, pure water at a level within the earth's mantle.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/arti ... Science%29

http://primarywaterinstitute.org/

And part of the reason that Muammar Gaddafi was murdered was because he had tapped into that water source beneath the Sahara Desert for his manmade river project that was to provide free clean water for Libyans and potentially for all of Africa. Of course NATO bombed it with depleted uranium.

Impressions on reading this:

"Interesting. Warrants some more reading... Yep, OK, at depths of up to 450KM there is trapped 'water' in the mantel in the form of sequestered oxygen and hydrogen that, when allowed to cool and condense, form actual water. That's neat! ... Wow, this website is janky as hell. Interesting ideas badly presented, but ok. ... Pravda? Interesting choice there, but OK. Right. Gaddafi. He was working on an irrigation system and was sourcing the water from the North Western Aquafer System (covering Algeres, Libya and Tunisia). OK. Let's see... The aquifer has been getting more hard hit since 1980 and ~40% of the withdrawal from it is reple3nished every year. Artisanal wells/oasis are drying up. Some wells are being drilled to more than 50-100m deep to keep siphoning. Seems this is leading to similar problems that we have in California: increased salinity, subsidence in the land mass, collapsing/crushing of the aquifer substrate (meaning even if the heavy draw off the aquifer stopped the basin wouldn't be able to absorb new water because the geology has been crushed into thicker mud, clay, etc that can't 'hold' the water). Wells are getting deeper, the quality of water is dropping, and smaller consumers of it can no longer access the water as the level drops. Sucks for them. ... And what is LeadShoes getting from this? ... Wait. Gaddafi was just a big, friendly regional nice-guy that was going to make free water available to the whole continent of Africa by tapping water reserves 450KM below Libya, in the Earth's mantel? What? And he was murdered as some part of a N.A.T.O. plan to keep Africa impoverished, AND they used depleted uranium 'bunker buster' bombs specifically to poison the mantel water reserves. WHAT? Maybe I'm reading more into her words than she meant, but boy, I'm shocked there isn't some mention of chem-trails being used to keep the population subdued by aerosolized SOMA."

Yes, it was an emotional journey.

I'll agree that the Primary Water website is simple, but that's because the concept is simple, as so many of the solutions to the world's problems are shockingly simple if only they were allowed to be implemented. And you can believe whatever the mass media tells you about Gaddafi, but you gathered right, part of the truth is exactly those things you said at the end. What's so surprising about it? NATO also acted criminally in Srebinica during the Bosnian War:
https://fbreporter.org/2015/07/12/evide ... -massacre/

And the US used depleted uranium on civilian areas in Iraq:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/ ... areas-iraq

Gaddafi's biggest offense, though, was that he had plans for a gold-backed African currency that would have ruined the dollar and severely undermined the worldwide western-based central bank system.
https://www.thenewamerican.com/economy/ ... ted-dollar

Hilary's leaked emails even confirm that:
https://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/20 ... ervention/

That's also a very strange way of talking to me, I guess you're probably also one of those people who like to refer to themselves in the third person a la LeBron James?

Nothing is simple in this world, sadly. Have a look at what history says. Nothing ever went according to the plans. If any.

That's why I said "...if only they were allowed to be implemented." The solutions so often could be and should be simple, but they would disrupt the status quo and those in power would lose their control.

Most teabags have microplastics, damnit. Can't i even have this?!

Oh well, bye-bye Barry's Gold Blend & Twinnings Earl Grey, our two staples, time to switch to loose-leaf.

I like when my (fancy, exotic) tea drinking family members complain about head-aches. :roll:
Well, yeah. Between the tea and Diet Pepsi, which causes dementia...
Ah, well.

And how about this, we all consume a credit card's worth of plastic a week...

It ain’t so much, if you think how fast one could eat a (well seasoned, of course!) 1/7th of a credit card a day.

Actually, the way you put it makes it worse. We can't even enjoy eating that well-seasoned 1/7 of a credit card a day. But then 7 times a week, 52 weeks a year, it would get boring, so it's all for the best....

It's not the up-front plastic intake that gets you. It's the interest over time.

Great.
"The botflies lay eggs on other flies such as housefly, mosquitoes, tick, etc. and use these insects as a mediator to spread their eggs on humans/mammals. So without direct contact with any botfly, you may get botfly larvae(maggots) in your body."

I got at least 6 mosquito bites this morning. With my luck I'm now infested with maggots.

I would not watch any video on this subject matter. Can’t.

I do recall reading about a kid that picked at a scab and a snail crawled out of his elbow. :shock:

Not making that up. :(
