I have multiple snapshots of my system—literally a point in time saved with a name and a date. I can go back to a few different points in time to test things that could break the system and revert to any time in the past that I created or that the system itself created when installing an update.

«Western countries are so far removed from fascism, coddled by modern society's comforts, and lucky enough to have avoided war on their soil, that the populations therein have legitimately forgotten what it's like to live in a world without democracy. Taking it for granted. We forget that the ease with which we move through life is dependent upon complicated governmental/cultural/social/economic systems, which people before us spent entire generations developing so that we may bear their fruit.»

If the automobile had followed the same development as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year killing everyone inside.

It is possible to invent a single machine which can be used to compute any computable sequence.

Problems struck first in 1989. DuPont contracted with Terra Industries to mix the DF formula at Terra’s facilities. Af­ter farmers complained of plant dam­ age, atrazine, a potent herbicide that Terra had formulated at the same plant, was found in some batches.

Back in the 70's my dad had an orchid nursery in Puerto Rico. We used pesticides and fungicides to maintain the plants. One of these fungicides, Benlate killed every plant he owned in 1990. Lots of crossbreed orchids he had developed disappeared. https://www.panna.org/archive/panna-dupont-convicted-racketeering-benlate-case/ https://www.hannonlaw.com/blog/dupont-faces-recent-benlate-losses-health-plant-damage-claims/

History can be cruel and evil, the key lies in remembering its lessons. By doing so, we can shape a future founded on compassion and kindness. #AdjustTheRatio

COINTELPRO took care of making sure Puerto Rico WILL NEVER become independent. https://waragainstallpuertoricans.com/carpetas/

when I was a kid Thalidomide babies where everywhere. Look it up. It was clinically tested in Puerto Rico.

My dad (as a foreigner in Puerto Rico) was tasked by the US government to test Agent Orange in the 60's. He showed me the site 30 years later nothing growing on it.

Impact: These sterilization programs were seen as unethical and discriminatory. Many women were pressured into sterilization without their understanding of the procedure's consequences, often under the guise of family planning. The effects of this eugenics-driven approach were damaging to personal autonomy and contributed to the exploitation of Puerto Rican women.

Molecular Genetics and Eugenics Studies

---> forced sterilizations

What Happened: During the mid-20th century, there were also eugenics-driven studies and experiments on Puerto Rican populations. Some of these included forced sterilizations, often targeting women. Between 1930 and 1970, over 30% of Puerto Rican women were sterilized without their full consent or knowledge, driven by policies of population control.

Dioxin and Pesticide Testing

What Happened: During the 1970s and 1980s, the U.S. government used Puerto Rico as a testing ground for various pesticides and herbicides, some of which contained harmful chemicals like dioxins. These tests were primarily conducted on crops, but there was a lack of consideration for the long-term effects on the local population or the environment.

The clinical trials were conducted without proper informed consent, and many women were not fully aware of the potential side effects. Some of the women in the trials suffered from adverse effects, including mood changes and physical side effects, and were not given proper follow-up care. There were also concerns that the trials targeted low-income, uneducated Puerto Rican women, exploiting their lack of knowledge about the experiment.

Contraceptive Trials (The "Pill" Experiments)

What Happened: In the 1950s and 1960s, Puerto Rico became a key site for testing early versions of the oral contraceptive pill. The trials, conducted by pharmaceutical companies like Searle (which later became part of Pfizer), were led by researchers including Gregory Pincus and John Rock, who were seeking to develop a reliable birth control method.

Nuclear Weapons Testing

What Happened: In the 1940s and 1950s, the U.S. government tested various nuclear devices, and Puerto Rico was used as a location for some of the initial preparations and equipment testing. The Atlantic Fleet Weapons Training Facility on Vieques Island became notorious for its role in military testing

Agent Orange and Other Chemical Weapons

What Happened: During the 1950s and 1960s, the U.S. military used Puerto Rico as a site to test and store chemical weapons, including Agent Orange, a defoliant widely used during the Vietnam War. The military also tested other toxic chemicals on the island.
