cargill Taps Startup Producing Smart Cow Masks To Trap Methane Burps

https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/cargill-taps-startup-producing-smart-cow-masks-trap-methane-burps

Cows produce significant amounts of methane as part of their digestive processes. Cow belching, a source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, could be solved by a new methane-absorbing wearable device.

According to Bloomberg, agriculture behemoth cargill Inc. tapped UK-based startup Zelp Ltd., which is dedicated to significantly reducing the environmental impact of the livestock industry through smart cow masks that filter methane burps.

cargill said Tuesday the devices would be used for its European dairy farmers in 2022. The price of each mask has yet to be publicly discussed, but Zelp said each cow would cost $80 per year as part of an annual subscription fee.

Detailed on Zelp's website under the technology tab, the smart cow mask neutralizes methane, records valuable statical data, and is integrated with mobile communication gear. Besides neutralizing methane, the mask also gathers many data points about the cow, including geo-location, early disease functions, heat detection, emission quantity, and oxidized volume of methane.

cargill's vast customer network could make smart masks for the livestock industry standard in the years ahead as the elites of the world attempt to transition the global economy to a much greener future (or at least that is what it appears).

"cargill has an impressive reach across dairy farms in Europe," said Zelp Chief Executive Officer Francisco Norris. "They are uniquely positioned to distribute our technology to a large number of clients, both farmers and dairy companies, maximizing the roll-out from the very first year we hit the market."

Bloomberg describes the smart mask almost like a "catalytic converter" on a car, filtering out the burps.

A set of fans powered by solar-charged batteries sucks up the burps and traps them in a chamber with a methane-absorbing filter. Once the filter is saturated, a chemical reaction turns the methane into CO?, which is then released. - Bloomberg

Some 95% of methane released by cows comes out as burps and through the nose.

Enteric fermentation is the digestive process that results in cow belching.

Global emissions from livestock account for about 14.5% of total greenhouse gas emissions. cargill has joined the global push to cut carbon emissions across its supply chain by 30% by 2030. As we've previously discussed, many of these targets are "pie in the sky" figures.

Though there's a big push by corporations and governments to cut carbon emissions in the years ahead, elites and politicians have no visible interest in curbing emissions of their fuel-guzzling private jets, superyachts, and supercars.

If we're not careful, one day, we'll all be wearing masks that monitor our methane output and will be taxed on that.

Bill Gates: Let Them Eat Fake Meat!

Bill Gates thinks everyone should eat "100% synthetic beef" as a way to fight climate change - but a look at his investment portfolio suggests he has an alternative agenda that is anything but eco-friendly.

FULL ARTICLE HERE:
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/bill-gates-fake-meat/

EDITOR'S NOTE: Below is an excerpt from "Bill Gates & His Fake Solutions to Climate Change," a 23-page report coordinated by Navdanya International which sheds light on the dangers of philanthrocapitalism.

One of [Bill] Gates' most recent promotions is his prescriptions of synthetic foods for developed countries as a means to combat climate change. In a recent interview with MIT Technology Review, Gates says he thinks "all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef."

Fake food replaces animal products with highly processed food grown in labs, like fake meat, fake dairy products or fake eggs. It is made possible by technical innovations such as synthetic biology, which involves reconfiguring the DNA of an organism to create something entirely new.

For instance, plant-based meat companies like Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods use a DNA coding sequence from soybeans or peas to create a product that looks and tastes like real meat. Some companies are also investing in cell-based meat, grown from real animal cells, but it has yet to reach the market.

More and more firms are getting involved in this fast-growing market, like Motif Foodworks (plant-based meat and dairy alternatives), Ginkgo Bioworks (custom-built microbes), BioMilq (lab-grown breast milk), Nature's Fynd (fungi-grown meat and dairy alternatives), Eat Just (egg substitutes made from plant proteins), Perfect Day Food (lab-grown dairy products) or NotCo (plant-based animal products made through AI), to name but a few.

The industrial meat-industry giants are also profiting from this blossoming market. Meat producers like Tyson Foods (which has invested in Memphis Meats and Future Meat Technologies which both create lab-grown meat replacements), Nestle, cargill, Maple Leaf Foods, or Perdue Farms are thriving on this trend, selling products like sausages, burgers and ground beef largely made from pea or soy protein.

All these companies are backed up by high-ranked billionaires and Big Tech investors. Bill Gates alone has invested $50 million in Impossible Foods and actively finances Beyond Meat, Ginkgo Bioworks and BioMilq, as described above…

EXCLUSIVE: Calgary's COVID hotel and the quarantine law that lets Theresa Tam take your private property

https://www.rebelnews.com/calgary_covid_hotel_law_theresa_tam_take_your_private_property

Rebel News reporter, Keean Bexte, has been flying across Canada to locate federal government coronavirus quarantine facilities.

We know they exist. The federal government published a Request For Information (RFI) on the government procurement website asking for details and interest from the private sector about setting up the facilities.

Bexte found one such camp in Manitoba. The Manitoba Métis Nation that owns the site say they haven't yet contracted with the federal government, but they are ready to use the site when called upon.

But where else are these things? A new access to information filing with the City of Calgary confirms that Cowtown has at least one, and the City of Calgary's emergency management team requested a second one to help deal with an outbreak at a meat packing plant south of the city:

…not sure if they have reached out or not yet, but expect Alberta Health Services to advise you that they will be looking to move some people into the PHAC isolation facilities (isofac) in the hotel out by the airport, and maybe establishing one in the a South of the city to help with the cargill outbreak. These would be asymptotic people who can't self isolate because they live in close quarters.

Another email between bureaucrats reveals the logistics of the isolation facility and the general location:

PHAC Western Region has retained two co-located hotels nearby to serve as designated self isolation site until April 30th, 2020. The location of this site is not publicly known and should not be disclosed given privacy and safety concerns. PHAC has also retained the services of Canadian Red Cross to deliver some operations at the site, as they have done at other self-isolation sites in Canada. PHAC completed the operational set up of the Calgary self-isolation site on Friday, April 4th.

The documents also reveal that the City of Calgary was left wanting for details after the federal government announced that Calgary would be one of the Canadian airports still taking international flights.

I am in a management team meeting and a question that came up was, with Calgary one of 4 airports allowed to accept international travelers and those travelers must go immediately into quarantine from the airport, does AHS have an idea of how many travelers might be expected? Part 2, would AHS be looking into accommodation strategies for these folks?

Further in the emails, the bureaucrats note that Theresa Tam is able to expropriate private property for use as a quarantine site.

Canada's Chief Public Health Officer has the authority to designate any place in Canada as a quarantine facility if deemed necessary to protect public health in accordance with sections 7 and 8 of the Quarantine Act.

Rebel News is going to continue to file for information into which cities, provinces, and municipalities are hosting these COVID-19 isolation facilities, and bring you any details we can into their use. But these sorts of projects are expensive and time-consuming. To help fund our effort to bring you what the mainstream media won't, please go to www.rebelinvestigates.com.

Child slavery is defended in court by a high level Democrat.

Kevin Daley - DECEMBER 1, 2020 5:15 PM

Neal Katyal, the progressive lawyer who led the legal fight against the president's travel ban and urged the public to take an unforgiving stance toward those involved with child separation at the U.S. border, appeared in the Supreme Court on Tuesday to defend two corporations accused of abetting child slavery.

In legal papers filed to the Supreme Court, the plaintiffs say Nestlé USA and cargill knew their West African suppliers used child slaves but bought cocoa from them anyway. Katyal, arguing on behalf of the food giants, said the case should be tossed because U.S. courts have no authority to hear the dispute.

The six unnamed plaintiffs were once child slaves on cocoa plantations in Ivory Coast, having been kidnapped and trafficked from Mali. The plaintiffs say they were held under armed guard in deplorable conditions, beaten, and tortured if they tried to escape.

"From the United States, [Nestlé] had complete control over the farms' labor practices, knew that the farmers they were assisting were using and continued to use forced child labor, and purposefully relied on the enslavement of children to increase profits by ensuring the flow of cheap cocoa," the plaintiffs' filings read.

They also claim that Nestlé cultivated close ties with plantation owners to maintain influence in the region. To do so, they allegedly financed the purchase of farming supplies, made advance payments, and provided plantation owners with personal spending money to secure their loyalty as exclusive suppliers.

The case asks whether the plaintiffs can sue Nestlé and cargill in an American court under an obscure federal law from 1789 called the Alien Tort Statute. Katyal said U.S. corporations can't be sued under that law. Many on the Court wondered if that went too far.

"Many of your arguments lead to results that are pretty hard to take," Justice Samuel Alito told Katyal. "Suppose a U.S. corporation makes a big show of supporting every cause de jure but then surreptitiously hires agents in Africa to kidnap children and keep them in bondage on a plantation.... You would say that the victims ... should be thrown out of court in the United States, where this corporation is headquartered and does business?"

A second issue is whether the child slavery allegations have a strong enough connection to the United States to move forward in court. Again, Katyal argued no.

"The claim plaintiffs bring alleges something horrific, that locators in Mali sold them as children to an Ivorian farm where overseers forced them to work," Katyal told the justices. "[But] the defendants are not the locators, not the overseers, and not the farm."

The Alien Tort Statute mostly sat dormant until the 1980s, when it became a vehicle for getting human-rights cases into American courts from across the globe. The Supreme Court has gradually closed the door on those cases. In 2013 the Court said the law usually doesn't cover wrongdoing outside the United States, and in 2018 it said the Alien Tort Statute doesn't cover foreign companies.

Among other high-profile impact cases, Katyal led challenges to the Bush administration's military tribunals for Guantanamo Bay detainees and obtained an appointment to the prosecution team in the George Floyd case. Beyond the staid world of appellate advocacy, he contributes regularly to MSNBC, appeared on stage at a Vanity Fair summit with John Legend, and played himself on House of Cards.

In Tuesday's brief, Katyal claimed his clients deplore child labor.

"Nestlé USA has tremendous sympathy for plaintiffs' suffering and unequivocally condemns child slavery. In all its forms. Everywhere," the filing reads.

Katyal did not reply to a request for comment.

The case is No. 19-416 Nestlé USA v. John Doe.

Diggs on Aga Khan, his connections, and his personal lavish life

Attendees of the Trudeau's questionable 2016 vacation at the Aga Khan island:
Justin Trudeau and Sophie Gregoire
Seamus O'Regan (current Minister of of Natural Resources of Canada) and Stelios (Steve) Doussis → moar here: https://wearethene.ws/notable/76698
John Kerry

Interdasting connections…

Aga Khan: Made honourary Canadian citizen in 2010 (Stephen Harper admin). Also a Harvard alum. During his time at Harvard, he was elected a member of the all-male Delphic Club. JP Morgan was allegedly also part of the Club during one point in time. In 2010, the Club had hired strippers for a "punch event"…whatever that is.

John Kerry, Former US SoS that helped craft Iran deal: Skull & Bones member, Stepfather of Chris Heinz (Rosemont Seneca Partners → Hunter Biden).

Kerry's former Head of Security, John Scott Moretti, was arrested in May 2020 for raping a child. Previously Moretti was the Deputy Regional Security Officer at the US Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq during the period of Jul 2012 to Nov 2012. This is coincidentally during the timeframe of the 2012 Benghazi attacks.

In 2011, HRC as SoS spoke at the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), thanking them for hard work on the New Silk Road Initiative.

Trudeau or his wife have been to the Aga Khan island three times: Dec 2014, Mar 2016, and Dec 2016

Trudeau also passed Bill C16, a bill that added gender identity and gender expression to the list of topics that would be considered discrimination. Trudeau's cabinet also passed Motion 103, which "condemn[s] Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination."

AKDN's partners include: MasterCard Foundation, major banks across the globe (Scotiabank, BNP Paribas, Citigroup Foundation), UNICEF, UNDEP, WHO, UN World Food Programme, UNESCO, The World Bank, OXFAM, Save the Children Fund, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, USAID, Microsoft, Margaret A. cargill Foundation, Johnson & Johnson, US DoS, USDA, US EPA

Aga Khan has been pictured with David Rockefeller, Queen Elizabeth, and Prince Philip.

Aga Khan's personal life
All multiple marriages and an interest in horseracing, breeding horses, and equestrianism. Aga Khan III gave Queen Elizabeth II a horse. The current Aga Khan owns horse-breeding farms in France and Ireland. He also has an interest in beautiful women, fast cars, skiing, and race horses - owning "houses on five continents, numerous cars, a Gulfstream private jet and vast yachts." He also owns numerous estates and properties worldwide, including an island in the Bahamas. Aga Khans order their women to "be both subservient and decorative. 'There is no discussion on this,' he told his second wife, the Begum Inaara, at the beginning of their marriage. 'I determine things. You obey.'" He dislikes public attention of his extravagant lifestyle. The current Aga Khan likes to be addressed as "Your Highness", a title that was bestowed on him by the Queen in 1957. Former nude Playboy model Elisabeth Hemma Maria del Pilar von Goess* was one of the girlfriends of one of the current Aga Khan. The pattern is consistent throughout all their marriages - lavish presents and attention at the beginning of the marriage and then their interest wanes. In fact, for the current Aga Khan, "no present is too expensive. But when he loses enthusiasm, his heart turns to ice."

* A Pilar von Goess is also found in Epstein's Black Book…The Pilar which Aga Khan had a relationship died in 1999 at 47 due to a supposed brain tumor, so I'm not too sure if it is the same Pilar in the Black Book.

'Aga Khan's "philanthropy"
Some of the areas that the AKDN works in: Agriculture and food security, Architecture, Civil society, Culture, Education, Environment and climate, Financial inclusion, Health, Humanitarian assistance, Infrastructure development, Media, Music, and Tourism promotion. In fact, it owns the Serena Hotels chain, employing 6000 people. Islam prohibits the drinking of alcohol, yet the Aga Khan Museum and its Serena Hotels chain serve alcohol. The AKDN notes that these are not "Islamic spaces" or "religious spaces".

Aga Khan is being used to influence international immigration policies, reform global views on Islam, and amass donations from donors (aka taxpayers) to then redistribute it according to their beliefs and values. The saying goes: Doing good for humanity.
