And Jim Jones also saved his flock using their same reasoning. It must be true. It was the first soundbite that somebody else told me.

Come to think if it, it was Donald Trump who told me that. Or was it UG? Sometimes I cannot tell the difference.

Very dim of you. He's the Annoying Orange. I'm just happy with annoying you.

Wear a Homburg hat. It will exhibit the Yoni-On-Top, thereby signalizing that you're a pseudointellectual twat.

Yes, the article I linked to reported the arrest of another scammer, an American arrested in Colombia, for hawking it.

Still, the article discusses "chlorine dioxide" saying "Chlorine dioxide is a type of industrial bleach commonly used as a disinfectant, or to bleach paper products." without mentioning that it has a legitimate preventive medicine application.

MMS doesn't have that; but, chlorine dioxide does and I pointed that out. It's pertinent; because, many people mistakenly believe that if a little bit of something is good for you, more will be better. It makes the scam easier to pull off. The article left that out; so, I put it in the thread.

I hope you don't mind.

Meanwhile in the USA...

Trump says he will look 'very strongly' at granting pardon to whistleblower Edward Snowden

... In late 2016, then-President Barack Obama said he wouldn't consider a pardon until Snowden stopped running from the law. ...
That may be all Trump needs to decide this dividing issue.

"will look at 'very strongly'" is the sound Trump makes when he hears someone ask about something he doesn't know anything about.


It's fine, it's a deflection, a common response by politicians. But it does not m he's going to actually look into it,whatever the" it" of the moment may be.

Meanwhile in England...

There'll be riots tea drinking in the streets!

English shops to double charge for single-use plastic bags to 10p

LONDON (Reuters) - All retailers in England will charge for single-use plastic carrier bags from next April with the price doubling to 10 pence ($0.13), the government said on Monday as it stepped up efforts to reduce plastic waste.

Since October 2015, large retailers in England have been legally required to impose a charge of 5p for plastic bags, a measure which the government says has taken 15 billion bags out of circulation.

... the charges will now apply to all retailers, not just those with more than 250 staff members ...

I shall write a strongly worded letter of complaint.

Just as soon as I've finished my mug of tea.


When plastic bag charges were introduced there was a lot of moaning and groaning, but I couldn't see what the fuss was all about.

As a kid I would be despatched to the corner shop* with a conventional shopping bag for a few groceries and larger shops would be carried out in similar manner.

I just switched back into childhood mode. (Never difficult!)

Much ado about nothing.

It's been 8˘a bag, paper or plastic, around here for a long time.

But that was back in the Before Times. Now disposable bags are free again, and all those reuseable bags get light duty now.

Well, you can start with the understanding that yoni is Hindustani for "vulva, or snatch."

A narrow scope of education does nothing for any man.

He just proved his manliness by discussing snatch.

How curious. Trump also has that same misogynistic vocabulary.

But use foreign words to pretend it's not vulgar.

As an inept and crabbed virgin, tw is of course a great authority on this. World-class. He should put the Homburg on.

Bullies, with 30 second attention spans, will only post insults. Typical of one who is racist, approves of Nazis, has a narcissistic personality disorder, and is a misogynist.

Good of you to volunteer your personality traits in a brief, easy to read paragraph.

Though you've left a few out -- no amour-propre, no love of anyone or anything really, definite preference for authoritarian governance over democratic, and the idea that the whole world is out to wound and offend tw, and therefore tw will offend first.
