Mosquitoes; US citizens should not be guinea pigs for experiments

What this episode covers

00:00 All right. Every single year, mosquitoes kill about 750,000 people. Every single year. No animal in history, no shark, no bear, no snake, no spider, no anything, no human have killed more people than mosquitoes. 00:28 They are a uh serious carrier of uh disease. So in 1946, the United States Army, they came out with this product called DEET. Now the way this works is mosquitoes, when they're buzzing around, you inhale air and in that air is oxygen, but you exhale carbon dioxide. 00:59 These mosquitoes, detect the carbon dioxide and they go and they bite you and they suck your blood. And when they inject you with their little um probiscis, um actually disease can get inside you. So it's been very important to uh stop mosquito bites. So they came up with this stuff called DEET, D-E-E-T, like I said, 1946. 01:29 Well now, scientists have said that mosquitoes are no longer, well what they're doing is, they've actually learned to recognize meat, I'm sorry, DEET as meat. So when mosquitoes detect DEET, they know that a meal is near. And that's a scary thing. That really is. 01:58 But you see, I don't believe in coincidences. I do not believe in coincidences. I do not believe that all of a sudden, after all of this time since 1946, that all of a sudden mosquitoes have evolved to associate a chemical that is not found in nature. 02:19 with a food source. So you're to tell me that because I mean, can imagine here you are. You're out there, you're a mosquito, you're flying around. You, there's a chance you've never even come in contact with DEET. So how would you know that was a food source? Unless, this is just me with my tinfoil hat, unless something happened to make them associated with a food source. 02:49 And for that, we don't know how that happened. Scientists don't know how that happened. 02:54 but it is happening. So all of that mosquito repellent that you get, the backwoods off, all of this stuff, that might not work anymore. Very, very soon, they're have to come up with something else. Oh, lovely. But again, I don't believe in coincidences. Google. 03:17 Yeah, Google, the internet search engine, they are planning to release millions of mosquitoes into California to help stop diseases. California could soon become a testing ground for one of Google's most ambitious public health projects yet. The tech giant is seeking federal approval to release up to 32 million 03:44 specially treated mosquitoes in California and Florida over the next few years as part of an effort to reduce the spread of mosquito-borne diseases, including West Nile virus, um encephalitis, dengue, Zika, choconugall, and yellow fever. The proposal is currently under review by the U.S. of Environmental Protection Agency, which is accepting public comments through June 5th. Yeah, I will guarantee you I know what a lot of the public comments are going to be. 04:14 They've not announced where any mosquito releases would occur if the plan is approved. Research say the latest proposal targets the Kulex mosquitoes, a species known for transmitting West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis. According to the CDC, West Nile virus remains the leading mosquito-borne disease in the United States. I know somebody that's had West Nile, said it was awful. 04:39 But here's what I have a real problem with. If you look at this country's history, 04:47 I don't believe we should be experimented on. And that's what is happening. Bill Gates has already done this once. He's already done it. Now Google wants to get involved. 05:00 Go back and look at Tuskegee experiment. Go look at that. 05:08 U.S. citizens should not be guinea pigs for experimentation. Ever. Ever. 05:19 That includes chemtrails. That includes mosquitoes. That includes ticks. Yeah, ticks. They're also releasing genetically modified ticks on people's property without their permission, by the way. Oh, oh, oh, oh, and how bad is it? We have seen a huge spike. 05:46 in Lyme dise ...
