Agree a lot of the feeds seem to be garbage. Others that weren't bad went silent months ago, or longer. Not sure what that implied, although one can guess at it.
I get tired of the melodrama on the feeds. If they have info to drop, they should just do it and ignore the drama queens and trolls.
Cheers
Exactly! Why do we get the constant "I know stuff but will release it at whatever later date because reasons" crap! Either drop the d@mn info or, if it truly needs to wait for security reasons or because of pending actions - then don't say anything. Loose lips and all.
Not sure about the silenced ones. Perhaps they were either silenced against their will or maybe they actually do know something and aren't fame-whoringly stupid enough to say that they know something.

From my point of view, discounting a person totally because you've rationalised not to trust the sales pitches, is swinging the pendulum to the other extreme by deciding to reject any of their inputs as a result. I.E. losing trust in the person, rather than focussing only on their proven specialism.
I take the position of trusting them in their expertise areas but not placing any weighting on their inputs in other unproven areas.
Judicial Watch: Records Reveal Safety Lapses and Violations at U.S. Biosafety Laboratories
A chart within the report notes that the releases of select agent or toxin were attributed to the following: one bite or scratch from an infected animal; 92 manipulations of select agents or toxins outside a biological safety cabinet or other equipment designed to protect from exposure; one decontamination failure; five instances of deviation from standard laboratory operating procedures such, as not wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment or other safety violation; 19 equipment or mechanical failures; 13 failures of personal protective equipment; two failures in performing a validated inactivation or [biological select agents and toxins] removal method; 13 needle sticks or other exposures; 17 spills of select agent; and one escaped animal.
The report explains that one of the exposures resulted in an illness of one worker
The FBI investigated all 13 reports of losses and, in all cases, determined there was no criminal nexus.

cranky, that Paul Pelosi mugshot looks like it may be a prosthetic?
Look at the "finger depression" on the neck?
Ah but c'mon ... the world will just love us if we elect Obama. He'll save us and solve everything.
