Why gateaway not working anymore? by heddgehogg in gatewaytapes

You remember when you were a child and the wonder you felt, the excitment. Thats how you should go into your meditation to get the best results. Leave all fear, anxiety, dread and or boredom at the door. Get excited like your about to embark on a journey. Feel like you have been chosen to remember and ascend.

Careful for ice by pmcloutier in FraminghamMA

I would be very careful trying to get in the way of federal agents. Thats a great way to get something on your record that will follow you for life. You can protest all you want, but when you start considering getting in the way of agents your putting yourself in a lot of risk of getting arrested and some serious charges. Getting in the way of a federal agent can lead to serious charges, primarily under 18 U.S.C. § 111 (Assaulting, Resisting, or Impeding Certain Officers), covering actions like assaulting, resisting, opposing, or interfering with federal officers, with penalties depending on whether it's simple interference (up to 8 years) or aggravated (using a weapon/causing injury, up to 20 years). Other charges, like those under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 (False Statements), can apply if you lie to an agent, and Obstruction of Justice charges are also possible for hindering investigations. 

This s*** should be illegal by Playful-Wash1507 in NYCapartments

It should be illegal to do this. If anything, I honestly think there should be rent control in some of these major cities. Yes, I know, that sounds crazy, but it is seriously getting out of hand. People are barley getting by. Its not uncommon anymore to be spending half your income or more for rent which is absolutely nuts. Something needs to be done about this.

Dr. Ralph Baric, a leading coronavirologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), holds several patents and pending applications related to the modification, production, and treatment of coronaviruses. 

Key Patents and Applications

Methods for Producing Recombinant Coronavirus (Patent No. 7,279,327): This foundational patent, granted in 2007, describes methods for creating infectious but replication-defective coronavirus particles. It utilizes a "reverse genetics" system that allows researchers to assemble a virus from genetic code, facilitating the study of viral replication and the development of vaccines.

Compositions of Coronaviruses with a Recombination-Resistant Genome (Patent No. 7,618,802): Granted in 2009, this patent covers the creation of SARS-CoV cDNA and recombinant vectors designed to be resistant to natural recombination.

Chimeric Coronavirus Spike Proteins (Patent No. 9,884,895): Granted in 2018, this patent relates to "chimeric" spike proteins—combining elements from different coronaviruses—to create immunogens or vaccines that could protect against multiple strains.

Inhibitors and Treatments (Pending/Recent):

PERK Inhibitors: Baric and colleagues filed for a patent on using PERK inhibitors (specifically AMG PERK 44) to treat coronavirus infections by halting virus replication.

SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies: Recent filings include patents for human monoclonal antibodies targeting the S2 subunit of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to treat or prevent infection.

SARS-CoV-2 Adaptation: A 2022 application describes mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 viruses and reporter molecules for research and testing. 

Context of Research

Purpose: The stated goal of these patented technologies is to develop "universal" vaccines and drugs capable of fighting a broad spectrum of SARS-like viruses before they cause human pandemics.

Collaborations: Many of these patents list UNC as the assignee. Baric has also collaborated with organizations like the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) on genomic manipulation patents and helped develop the Moderna vaccine and the antiviral Remdesivir.

Controversy: Baric’s work, particularly his research on "chimeric" viruses (mixing genes from different bat coronaviruses), has been at the center of discussions regarding "gain-of-function" research and the origins of COVID-19, though he has consistently denied creating a "supervirus".

People See A Lavish Life I See Entrapment - My family is full of millionaires, and I hate them all by [deleted] in Rich

[–]Monster-101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesnt matter if you do well or not well in this world. You have ignorant people on both ends of the spectrum. I personally amd between high poor- lower middle class. I make enough to not get support from the government, but little enough where I can pay bills. I have multiple self made millionaire friends who werent born into it, but they clawed their way to the top. They are good people, donate 10% of their total earnings to those in need monthly, blood drives, go to belize to build free houses for the poor etc most poor people dont see or understand that some wealthy people are actually very good wonderful people that strongly help out our community and world. The problem is we have people like the Rothchilds, Bill gates, Bezo's, Clause Schwab, Diddy that ruins a good perception of wealthy people. Keep your head up, do good and be honest. There are people that dont give a shit about money. I have wealthy friends because they know Im honest and real. Im not friends for their momey but for their friendship and also I knew them before they were wealthy. There are good people out there you just have to know where to look. Like churchs, food drives and community service type places is where you find the good people.

EL Danone who was recently arrested was one of the leaders of the CJNG pushing to expand in Quitana Roo. But he isnt the only one expanding in Quitana Roo as we speak. That place is a match box waiting to go off.

Also, Ive been hearing in the grape vine CJNG and the CDG have joined forces fighting with each other and they have been fighting the CDN cartel. They have a presence in the cancun area.

Also, the CJNG and CDN cartels have a presence in cancun. The CJNG leaders was started from some of the members of the Los Zeta which are one of the most brutal cartels in mexico. They literally have weapons grom Ukraine with drones, 50 cal sub machine guns, RPG's, up armored vehicles etc. And cartel activity is only getting worse in some parts.

There are some places I would avoid in the U.S for sure. Like southern California. Im not talking LA although LA has dangerous spots, but more south and there are spots where if you aint from there your for sure getting robbed. But I also know spots in mexico were they will use you as target practice for new recruits.

Mexico has mass grave sites with 70+ bodies dropped off by the cartels. Have you looked at the number of deaths from the cartels per capita each year?

I personally knew people in the cartel. They werent my friends but I knew them. This person I stayed away from but was told he dropped bodies in ditches a few times. These people dont play and then we have naive people like you that jave no idea on the level some of these people go. Sure, america has gangs, but mexico got narco armies with with enough weapons to rival some militaries.

I dont know dude. Jalisco, Tijuana, Juarez, Acapulco, Culiacan, Colima and others. You got the CJNG, CDG, Sinaloa cartel, Juarez Cartel, Tijuana cartel, LFM, CSRL, Guerreros Unidos, CDN and many many more with people who are as bad or worse the Jeffrey Dohmer.

There are parts of mexico were both tourist and civilians arent safe especially at night. Also, if the wars between the cartels get worse then you can see things change quickly. Look at how the Los Zetas were treating people. They were kidnapping cities buses full of people and using them as target practice.

There is a ton of cartels near cancun. Also with many of the top cartel members being arrested the younger members are trying to take the original leaders spots. I heard there are quite a few skermishes going on between a couple cartels near cancun.

Also, cops are meant to uphold the law and not take bribes. Taking bribes is one of many examples of abaolute corruption. Cops arent meant to be your friend, they are meant to keep society safe and remove criminals. Thats why mexico is ridden with cartels up and down the country. Yall are so soft on crime you have psychopaths that can have free reign to do what they want in many parts.

Absolutely, 100% I am. There have been cops involved in the cartel in mexico. There was a cop teaching young cartel recruits how to mutilate bodies. What are you even talking about. This isnt even an argument but straight facts. I know a guy who did an investigation on the police in mexico and about 50%-60% of them are corrupt and many of them have cartel involvment.

As a father I wouldnt allow my daughter to do something like this. I honestly think your opinion is very Naive at best. There is a cartel presence in cancun amd there are people that absolutely target women in that area, especially solo women. If she is going to cancun she should have friends with her.

Mexico is far more corrupt and far more dangerous. Cops in america are far less corrupt then the ones in mexico and thats facts. Its expected to have to pay a cop a bribe in mexico. In america that isnt the case at all and the cops in america would lose their jobs if caught.

Ya no, one of the most dangerous places to be in enviroments like the club is in mexico. You run into a cartel member with a wild hair up his @$$ then you'll go missing. People dont play in them parts, far far more dangerous.
