Autism rate rises to 1 in 36 children
Plus, the war on cows. NYT best seller list is bogus. The sexual revolution is maybe dead. And more!
Autism rate rises to 1 in 36 children
This is in contrast to one in 2,500 to one in 1,000 during the 1990s; one in 150 in 2000; one in 110 in 2006; one in 88 in 2012 and one in 54 in 2016.
California rates are the highest with nearly 7% of all 8-year-old boys in the San Diego region estimated to have autism spectrum disorder.
A spiking epidemic but MSM is silent. Why isn’t this front page news? Who benefits from the epidemic?

Groundbreaking analysis shows Covid vaccines have caused 300,000 excess deaths
That’s hard for us to swallow, too. But before you get your next jab, check out this well-cited article from CHD.

Which perhaps could be why the WHO changed its tune…
World Health Organization says under 17 doesn’t need vax; healthy adults don’t need boosters
The CDC, however, recommends multiple shots for American babies under 6 months old, which diverges from the recommendations of many doctors, the WHO and public health officials around the world. Fox News appears to have no skepticism with regards to the latest Covid guidelines by the CDC, which is no surprise to Hecklers as mainstream media considers the CDC a source that doesn’t need to be questioned.

Dutch farmers are fighting for their cows
Holland is the No. 2 beef exporter, only behind the USA. The government is saying half the cows must go. Maybe they can come to the US and get jobs with Chick-Fil-A making the billboards?
All jokes aside, an important podcast, which you will also find very easy on the eyes.

New York Times best seller list is ‘cooked’ says author James Patterson
The NYT won’t publish prolific author James Patterson’s letter to the editor. Patterson, who says he’s a left-leaning political independent, claims the sought after best seller list, which he’s been on many times, isn’t based on sales. He tweets examples of Mike Pompeo and J.D. Robbs, whose books have outsold those on the current NYT list.

Make the colleges pay
Biden misplaces the blame for the student debt crisis.
Hecklers staff anecdote: “My best friend tells the story of her college loans, which she maxed out and used for ‘designer clothes, an awesome college apartment, and some vacations,’ not just tuition and books. She’s now a nurse and is still paying them back 20 years later. ‘But why should you have to pay my loans when I got to enjoy them?’ she says.”
That noted, Hecklers still wonders why U.S. colleges are so much more expensive than comparable universities around the world. Where’s the racket and who’s to blame for the price tag?

Podcast: Resisting illegitimate authority
One of our favorite independent journalists, James Corbett, hosts Dr. Bruce Levine to discuss his new book, Resisting Illegitimate Authority: A Thinking Person’s Guide to Being an Anti-Authoritarian―Strategies, Tools, and Models. The two chat about authoritarianism and anti-authoritarianism, how dissent has been pathologized by power structures in the past, how it is pathologized today, and how anti-authoritarians can fruitfully resist and dissent against oppressive power structures.
Good stuff!

The end of the sexual revolution?
Or at least Jenny Holland, former NYT writer and politically homeless blogger, thinks so.

Musk vs. Schwab at World Government Summit — two competing visions of the future
Billionaire Elon Musk and World Economic Forum (WEF) Chairman Klaus Schwab faced off last week, presenting competing visions for the future at this year’s World Government Summit. Musk ominously warns that ChatGPT could “go wrong” (go wrong?!), and the dangers of a single world government (kinda funny given the title of the summit), whereas Schwab is all about AI but worries it may “escape the control of the global elite.”
