What is the US “Gas Stove Ban” REALLY about?
What sounds like overeach in itself, is actually a cover for something potentially far, far worse.
Kit Knightly
The Biden administration is apparently looking to ban gas stoves, calling them a “hidden danger”. But while that sounds bad enough, a deeper dive shows – as usual – it’s not really about what they say it’s about.
Talk of banning gas stoves and “unregulated indoor air quality” could be a Trojan horse designed to get even more “smart” monitoring technology into your home.
Let’s jump in.
Are gas stoves dangerous?
Well, according to Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, the New Scientist and a million other outlets and pundits who started talking about it in the last two days, yes.
Earlier this week near-identical articles from the National Review, Bloomberg and CNN detail how the US Consumer Product Safety Commission will be opening “public comment on the dangers of gas stoves sometime this winter”.
The articles claim:
The emissions have been linked to illness, cardiovascular problems, cancer, and other health conditions. More than 12 percent of current childhood asthma cases are linked to gas stove use, according to peer-reviewed research published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health last month.
Now would be a good time to talk about the phrase “linked to”. It’s always a good one to look out for in any mainstream publication. Journalists love it because it implies causation without stating it.
Consider, one hundred per cent of serial killers have been linked to the ingestion of water and the wearing of shoes.
If this manipulative use of language were not evidence enough of an agenda, the rather premature deployment of the race card proves it:
Senator Cory Booker (D., N.J.) and Representative Don Beyer (D., Va.) wrote a letter to the agency last month urging the commission to address the issue and calling the harmful emissions a “cumulative burden” on black, Latino and low-income households.
So, will they ban them?
Actually, probably not.
Considering that, according to Bloomberg, some 40% of US homes use gas stoves to cook, an outright ban would be impractical to the point of madness. You can’t criminalise 40% of the country. It would be almost unenforceable.
Perhaps they might try a “phasing out”, as they plan for petrol cars in California.
But most likely of all is that this was never really about banning stoves in the first place.
OK, so what’s it really about?
What we’re seeing here looks to be your classic bait-and-switch. Having established a “problem”, the powers that be suggest a solution they have no intention of ever carrying out (the more unreasonable the better).
When this measure is inevitably rejected by the public, the government will then proceed to suggest – or pay an NGO to suggest to them – a “compromise” measure.
The compromise is no compromise at all, of course, but actually what they wanted to do from the beginning. Nevertheless, the whole process is sold in the media as a victory for whichever party happens to be in opposition, and cited as evidence that “the system works”.
Tellingly, as I am writing this, Biden has already “ruled out a ban due to backlash”, and Vox were already using the word “compromise” a lot in an article they published yesterday.
However, what that “compromise” would be in this case isn’t clear at first, you have to do a little digging.
One clue is present in the National Review article [emphasis added]:
The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers argues that cooking produces harmful emissions regardless of the kind of stove used. “Ventilation is really where this discussion should be, rather than banning one particular type of technology,” Jill Notini, a vice president at the association, told Bloomberg. “Banning one type of a cooking appliance is not going to address the concerns about overall indoor air quality. We may need some behavior change, we may need [people] to turn on their hoods when cooking.”
And you’ll find another in the abstract of the original report on “Cooking With Gas, Household Air Pollution, and Asthma: Little Recognized Risk for Children”, published in the Journal of Environmental Science in April 2021:
The impact [of gas stove cooking] on children can be substantial because […] indoor air is unregulated.
“Ventilation is where this discussion should be”, after all “cooking produces harmful emissions regardless of the kind of stove” and a ban wouldn’t address “concerns about overall indoor air quality” which is currently “unregulated”.
Do you see where this is going?
It’s not about gas stoves, and it’s not about asthma – it’s about “indoor air pollution”, and more importantly how they plan on “regulating” it.
In one of those startling coincidences we’ve all got so used to witnessing in modern geopolitics, just as the US is talking about indoor air quality because of gas stoves, other countries around the world are doing the same thing for totally different reasons.
Singapore is considering new regulations on indoor air quality too, but because of formaldahyde.
Last month The Conversation was running articles claiming “indoor air pollution kills”, while Sir Chris Whitty, the UK’s chief medical officer, was “demanding action on indoor air pollution”.
On Monday, in a Guardian lifestyle piece purportedly about scented candles, Svetlana Stevanovic calls indoor air quality a “going concern”.
Two days ago The Tyee, an “independent” Canadian magazine which receives some funding from the Canadian government, ran an op-ed headlined:
We Need a Revolution in Clean Indoor Air
Which attempts to link improving indoor air quality to “ending Covid” (whilst making sure to sufficiently fluff the vaccines, of course).
Just yesterday the Irish Times published an article about the dangers of poor indoor air quality.
In a rather interesting piece of timing, the air hygiene technology company AeroClean and Molekule, a market leader for air purifiers, finalised a public stock merger…also just yesterday.
Two days ago it was announced IKEA would be selling their own smart air monitors, the same day Samsung announced their new “smart air purifier”.
Earlier today Chinese tech giant Xiaomi issued a media release about their new smart air monitoring technology.
A recent report expects the global air monitor technology market to swell to nearly 6 billion dollars in the next three years.
But I’m sure this is all just a coincidence.
Where does this lead?
Well, if I had to guess I would suggest some new “smart” technology is coming that will monitor air quality and indoor C02 emissions. Like smart electricity and water meters, but for your air.
Interestingly, the World Economic Forum agrees with me, publishing an article on their website last July headlined “Indoor air pollution: What causes it and how to tackle it”, which claims:
indoor air pollutants can now be detected with more precise, efficient, and compact sensors thanks to advances in environmental sensing technology. As a result, intelligent home systems may soon use sensors like these to keep track of indoor air quality and notify the ventilation system before dangerous levels are reached.
As part of “backing down” from the stove ban, they will introduce a new bill which sees “smart air monitors” become mandatory in all new-build houses, hotels and rented accommodation.
Just like smart electricity meters, smart air monitors would almost certainly be used to harvest huge amounts of data and give states or corporations the ability to control your home.
If your “indoor air” isn’t “clean” enough; if you use your stove too much, burn too many scented candles or emit too much co2, expect to get penalized in some fashion until you learn how to be more responsible.
More smart technology, more monitoring, and ultimately more control.
So, while it’s possible the gas stove ban talk will resolve itself into the cliche new tax or fines or some other petty scheme for bilking the many out of their wages, the signs are certainly there it might be something more sinister.
Meanwhile, expect to keep seeing reports on gas stoves damaging the climate, or stories about poor indoor air quality making covid worse.

I believe it is all about covering up for the deadly childhood vaccines. All the ailments they are saying are caused by gas stoves are the same adverse effects of childhood vaccines. As more and more people wake up about the deadly COVID bio weapon they are also becoming hesitant about all vaccines…..which if they were smart they would and would never ever take another vaccine or flu shot.
One aim might be to discourage people from resorting to small gas cookers as a contingency against power cuts that deprive them of their normal electric stoves, thus reducing the physical and psychological impact of energy shortages.
Another, that by reducing domestic gas consumption in the US, the gas can be exported to Europe, while creating reliance on transitioned energy at home.
It seems like the height of stupidity for the United States to, immediately after attaining energy independence under the Trump Administration, to then figure out ways to export its fossil fuels so as to exhaust the surplus supplies of natural gas and petroleum and once again become a net importer of energy.
Open a window!
Here in Thailand everyone uses gas, but it’s outside or with windows open. Cos it gets bloody hot here!
Ventilation…
This explains why so many restaurant cooks have turned out to be so intoxicated.
Better yet apparently some “scientist” decided to set up her “apparatus tools” at home and see what sort of emissions were created by her gas stove. She was amazed at the toxicity and pollution in her home.
Equally amazing was that she forgot to turn on her little exhaust hood.
She’s vaccinated …. 4 times I am sure. That never factored into her little brain cells.
I for one hate gas because the damn grates are so heavy and scratch my expensive sink every time I clean up. I lost 4 maids over this issue alone.
Indiction saves mades and it apparently now saves lives. Move on sheeple.
Could this sudden concern with natural gas have anything to do with blowback from fracking? The toxic brew of chemicals, solvents, and secret ingredients used in fracking may be measurable in the indoor air where gas is used for cooking and indoor heating. I am reminded of Project Gasbuggy (Gas Buggy?) where scientists exploded a small nuclear device underground in hopes it would release gas locked in shale deposits in Colorado in the ’60s or early ’70s. The gas was so radioactive that it was determined that the plan was unfeasable.
Honestly, just send a team of ‘maintenance’ men to these morons respective houses and shut off their gas and oil!
Not amused anymore.
Bring on the war on these supercilious fools.
Time has come to hobble them.
link improving indoor air quality to “ending Covid”
Germany took this up in late 2020 or so.
Households in the SE Asian country I moved to from the West mainly use calor gas for cooking (piped water and gas are a rarity here). Out of curiosity, I measured the PM.2.5 levels in our kitchen diner last time my wife was frying a quick meal. They were through the roof and obviously physically harmful.
Now I understand why a lot of folk out here cook on gas in their yards rather than kitchens. Maybe Westeners should follow suit, or simply, as I now have, invest in an air filte to take out the dodgy toxins produced by indoor gas cooking.
Biden is clearly literally gaslighting us. How many thousands of unsightly, ecologically unfriendly wind and solar farms does he imagine would be needed to electrify every kitchen on the planet – including those zillions in the underdeveloped world where the standard cooking fuel is garnered wood oi dried cattle dung!
What did you use to measure it..? instrument wise..?
For example, most Thai apt would have a window/balcony where you “cook”. Or a door you just open to the outside.
US homes are cheap to build, it’s all the improvements that can catch you out. You have to carefull you’re not spending your own money to boost the real estate Banking business in Antarctica.
New Monitor for IoT.. more EMF hazard and then there is the radiation they put in many of these detectors. So hey, great! Ya, know assuming population control to the exclusion of all else – is your objective.
And more mining for those rare earths.
By forcing people to have air filters installed in their homes, you make owning a home that fits the legal requirements very, very expensive – to this, add energy efficiency requirements (plus high prices/interest rates, low salaries, rampant inflation, etc.) and very few can be home owners
If people cannot afford homes, they will have to rent from, say, BlackStone, which is flush with cash and can easily pay to install all those things.
Since real estate represents 90% of the middle class’ wealth, making sure its ‘members’ stop owning one goes to fulfil 90% of the stated objective of the WEF: You will own nothing (and be happy).
Well, yes to all of the above, but it is also a subset in the further destruction of the ENERGY SECTOR!

I guess an air quality meter in your home could also detect whether you’re using a wood fire (increasingly demonised these days) and also if/what you’re smoking?
I don’t think it’s about “controlling our homes” per se. I think it’s just an extension of the whole hooha with energy efficiency and the push to have more “energy efficient” housing by selling all those related products whether people want it or not.
They are never going to be able to “control our home” by “harvesting data”. I have been hearing this for over thirty years now. They will only ever be able to use blunt instruments like rolling blackouts which only create chaos rather than giving them the ability to control us.
I don’t think people understand the scale of data produced by 24/7 monitoring. It is really hard to store and analyze it meaningfully.
Disagree —- although it is more malevolent than one might gather from this article!
AI programs, regardless of whether true AI, are Big Data–oriented and have made tremendous leaps and bounds over the past few years!
FirstNet became active in America before the same Big Tech firms helped the CCP establish their Social Credit System in China —– everything we do online is known and NORA’d: once more invasiveness into our domiciles occurs, the same about individual living circumstances!
There is NO national “social credit system” in China. There is nothing even close to it in different regions. But go ahead, believe if that’s what you want. I’m guessing you’ve never worked with big data.
“I don’t think people understand the scale of data produced by 24/7 monitoring. It is really hard to store and analyze it meaningfully.”
Fair enough. But it depends what they choose to monitor, doesn’t it? The point is, there’s likely coming a new vector for control inside the home. Currently, only cell phones (and to a lesser extent computers are widely uses, and they can potentially be turned off and “buried”(shielded from access) by users when not in use. But air detectors are 24/7, and not (currently) thought much about. We just had in my condo complex (here in US) the management force new smoke detectors on us, hmmm…
That is an angle the article did not cover. “Special” air quality/gas detectors, only from special suppliers.
It is really hard to store and analyze it
The aim is ripping off ever more public wealth. All spying has been abysmal in foreseeing even major dangers. Some of the “security analyses” come from open sources.
Setting up air pollution meters is right, but the location is wrong! They must be placed outdoors to demonstrate chemtrail air pollution!
The Epic Saga of a Smart Meter Opt-Out (46m 42s):
Years ago, when my supplier in the UK was Ecotricity, I accepted their offer to install a smart meter (this was the very earliest days for these things). By the day the engineer turned up I’d had second thoughts. I chatted with the guy and checked with him that he wouldn’t lose out on wages or anything like that if I now declined to have it fitted. He said that was fine and that it didn’t affect him at all. I also asked him if he was going to get one fitted at his home. He said he wouldn’t be getting one.
I’m so glad I didn’t go through with it!!
I later switched from Ecotricity when the CEO started bombarding their customers with emails telling us we must all switch to vegan diets, just like him.
The only thing the western world has to sell by now is propaganda and ‘smart’ meters.
In hindsight, it’s like as if the wall fell in 1989, and now we all live in East Germany
I think you’ve stumbled on to the absolute truth!
The “1% -of the global population is responsible for 50% of the CO2 emitted by commercial aviation, according to a 2020 study in the Global Environmental Change journal.”
False study, but not about to debate flakey research protocols —- just look into it sometime.
I have been researching research protocols since 1968, when a “study” claimed tomatoes caused cancer (their protocol was the equivalent of giving 1,000 tomatoes per day to lab mice)!
.In descending order, the countries that emit the most GHG/capita/year through consumption in 2018 are Saudi Arabia (~17.7 tonne), USA, Canada, Australia, S. Korea, Germany, Japan, Russia, Iran, UK (8.4). This excludes related international transportation.
The 10% of countries emitting the most GHG per capita account for 35-45% all GHG, while the 50% emitting the least per capita account for 13-15%.
The 1% of countries earning the most income may be emitting 175 times as much GHG per capita as the bottom 10%.
The wealthiest 10% of people account for 36-45% of all GHG emissions through consumption. Just by reducing this to the average European level, they could reduce global GHG by 1/3.
Did you know that electric ovens burn about 2.5 times the quantity of gas/oil/coal at the power plant side to produce the electricity in the first place?
Gas cooking is by far the greenest way to cook unless you rely heavily in hydropower, what about limiting greenhouse gas emissions when you basically double emissions on the power plant end to achieve the same cooking goal?
Please don’t allow facts to get in the way of ideology
All this manufactured hooha about gas stoves and gas. There’s something lurking out there that is far more dangerous, namely Dihydrogen monoxide. Each year, Dihydrogen monoxide is a known causative component in many thousands of deaths and is a major contributor to millions upon millions of dollars in damage to property and the environment. Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide are:
Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
DHMO Contributes to soil erosion and leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
DHMO can contaminate electrical systems where it often causes short-circuits.
Exposure of your car’s brakes to liquid DHMO could cause loss of effective braking power.
DHMO is found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
All three physical states of DHMO are associated with killer cyclones, hurricanes and deadly storms.
Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.
So there you go. The gas stove crisis is the current thing. However, don’t expect the authorities or their lackeys, the lame stream media, to keep you informed about the dangers of Dihydrogen monoxide toxicity.
Oh, you mean H2O? 😉
Perhaps you’re also familiar with Dihydrogen peroxide. My wife used it on her hair and went completely bald. A hard lesson. Please tell others.
Gas bad, electric good. Here is another psy-op for woke demand to end petroleum/gas and replace with much more inefficient and unreliable ‘green energy’. A simple stroke of the pen and legislation happens. Or maybe you still think the old normal rules apply.
They will probably legislate air filtration and monitors on all new heating air conditioning and ventilation systems and force citizens to link these into the government surveillance grid, all for our protection and safety of course. The oligarchs will force landlords to install so monitoring system on their properties as well.
There’s also been a massive push for filtered air in classrooms over the last couple of years. It’s been a common call from Covidian nutters whenever their demands for pupils to be gagged are (correctly) called out as monstrous and damaging.
Yup, gas stoves will be blamed for sudden deaths.
Egads. Invent a problem, and impose a tchnological solution. What a POS. I do not doubt that air quality can be a health risk, but technology is not the answer, nor are laws and regulations. How about a little education? Maybe hand out free air filters.
Personally, a gas stove is the best way to cook. Beats electricity every time.
Perhaps they do not want me to cook?
Honestly, I was hoping this climate change hoax never would amount to much and never have a significantly negative effect on us. Hope is not a plan. Why we continue to genuflect to these megalomaniacs and embrace their ridiculous restrictions is beyond me. What ever caused the vast majority of humanity to be born without backbones?
The internet of bodies, the internet of things, may they burn in hell.

Very interesting! The New Totalitarian Normal is bound to make inroads right into our homes. Can’t have people’s indoors “unregulated.”
Also, I suspect that smart air quality control tech will have an inbuilt mike and camera. Hello Truman Show!
In Melbourne, Australia, they’re banning gas stoves for newly built dwellings already. Having watched fascist politics in Melbourne over the past three years, they may eventually very well send around the gas stove police to established buildings too. Some time ago, a TV news report I watched on Bitchute, since I don’t watch TV, said that the police force in the state Victoria (capital city, Melbourne) is losing members and they can’t recruit enough new members. It seems some police officers do have a heart and a brain.
On a side note, I once lived in an older house that had a gas stove, and I hated the darn thing! The emissions were noticeable and probably unhealthy. The toxic smell was especially noticeable when walking into the kitchen from the outside. Moreover, since I am the head honcho in the kitchen, it was mainly my job to clean the stove top. For those who are unfamiliar, this involves removing all the metal thingamabobs that hold pots and pans over the gas ducts and clean those plus the areas around the gas ducts. Messy, time consuming, frustrating, never again, thank-you-very-much.
Excellent comments —- thanks!!
What ever happened to acid rain?
..well acid is making a comeback-thank god.
Still plenty of it in China, India, Poland, etc.
I miss burning leaves.
You can easily mix leaves with buds in your jays. It makes for a lighter and at times more useful buzz …
Indoor air contaminants arguments have been around for a long long time. Meanwhile, life expectancy keeps increasing. (Except the last three years because of vaccine side effects that are killing young people) Funny how those simple stats are avoided. For years we students sucked in so much formaldehyde while working with our biology lab “specimens”. Then there are the reagent gasses we sucked in chem labs… More power for the EPA. The EPA people I worked with were overworked fools who did nothing but put out spot fires. And the fires we set for decades in natural areas the EPA called: “Bad gas.” Every fire required an “Emissions Report”. Environmental extremists really have no idea what the fuck they are talking about. Just shots in the dark rhetoric generated in an ivory tower somewhere. Paul Ehrlich comes to mind. AOC is a perfect example. She is just a puppet spouting whatever her handlers are telling her to spout. The Young Turks. Most of her funding comes from outside of her congressional district. Same for the rest of “The Squad”. They are not good examples. Just proof of fraud. It all stems from the United Nations who wants control of the world. We need to keep an eye on John Kerry, however, who is a true traitor. American leftists hang on his every word as the gospel. AOC is just a foolish reflection of her handlers.
I prefer to cook with gas and have gas bottles as I live in a rural area. Forcing people to have all-electric homes makes them easier to control. Their power supply can be rashioned (to save the planet of course), or remotely switched off. 5G and smart meters are control devices.
I’m expecting real fireplaces and wood stoves to be banned soon, along with keeping chickens. Everything which could be used for off-grid self-sufficiency will be targeted.
Never mind that the creation of electric power is highly polluting. We won’t mention that.
These are already illegal in parts of US, according to John Whitehead and others:
:- throwing fish fry caught back into the water
:- growing vegetables for oneself, growing certain flowers, or selling unpasteurised milk to willing customers
:- collecting water from a well, rain or snow on one’s land
:- generating electricity from solar panels
:- parking a motor vehicle without having a home address
:- buying foreign honey
:- giving birth at home, unassisted.
Open a window
I will not hear of such excesses.

We could, of course, grow more trees. Re-growing the earth’s great forests is the best way to reduce carbon and to have clean air. Then we could open our windows.
No good. Would produce healthy people who might not let themselves be conrolled.
Error,I meant “controlled”, but con-rolled is descriptive of what the globos are trying to do to us.
Ahh, mmm, uh …. hey Ms, Hem, you MAY have
just accidently coined a gem
a real keeper
Conrolled
just what the useless bastards been tryna do
for like ever
Not just trees. Green plants in general (including food producing crops). No plants: no oxygen.
what the effing ell is wrong with carbon ffs
The aim is undermining independence. Health is a part of our independence.
for Energy Kadri Simson to phase out domestic gas cooking appliances, as they endanger Europeans’ health never it is right ?
hallo its nice one
The scary part is that it is not only the US. Why do the international press suddenly in the same week suddenly discover the problems with gas stoves?
In a joint letter sent in Nov 22, the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) and 14 other signatories called upon European Commission executive vice-president Frans Timmermans and EU Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson to phase out domestic gas cooking appliances, as they endanger Europeans’ health.
Then following up, they published some report this week. This came out in the Italian press, not sure if it’s a mistake or what but the headline writer did not get the memo: it says to limit the damage just open the windows…..
https://www.repubblica.it/salute/2023/01/10/news/cucina_inquinamento_fornelli-382880295/
“Rapid Response Mechanism” coordinates the stances of selected governments. “Trusted News Initiative” coordinates selected major propaganda enterprises. “Fact Checking Network” coordinates the supposedly private “fact-checkers” globally.
I think the question “What are they really aiming for here?” also applies to the covid con. They would have known from the start that “full spectrum dominance” was never going to be achieved with this viral manoeuvre i.e. that large areas of the public would never fall for it – and other areas would eventually wake up. No matter – they pushed the whole scam as far as it would go and have managed to effectively restructure public consciousness – not to achieve a consistent new approach but a fair amount of confusion, hesitation, indecision, bickering etc. And on the way there, they have implemented any number of laws and modulations that are clearly here to stay. They have also created a mode in which any re-introduction of the bullshit is now feasible since it has achieved enough credibility to at least guarantee further furtive shiftings in the legal framework.
That it doesn’t add up, doesn’t make sense, inspires passionate disagreements etc. is now part of the media environment. And don’t forget those asinine memes like “denier”, “anti-vaxxer”, “anti-science” etc. along with any number of spurious new connections e.g. covid rejection with “the Far Right” etc.
And then recall the constant stream of bizarre images piling in from the media with all manner of variation of the mask theme – from folks wearing any substitute for masks (tea cloths, sanitary towels) to dressing up their pets in the same, to wearing entire garments stitched from masks – not to mention such pinnacles of idiocy as orchestral players appearing without instruments and just miming, to masked choruses mumbling the “Ode to Joy”.
And then there were the ones that appeared to come from “the opposite side” e.g. those films of hospital staff performing dance moves in empty corridors. Did you see that and cheer? Did you think, “Hey these funky dudes are really blowing the cover on the whole thing”? Did you not hesitate to wonder if it was at all likely for idle bored nursing staff to invent intricate dance shows? Did it ever occur to you that presenting such entertaining spectacles would not have the effect of disillusioning the covid believers but would strike them as obvious hoaxes?
All of the above had the effect of sheer disorientation, of making you doubt everything that came across the news – and this was its entire aim!
As Mick once sang, “It’s a gas gas gassssss!”
The outside air quality in Wuhan China was so bad people stayed indoors and got Covid from indoor air pollution. Homes have become gas chambers.
Is Covid-19 about to be rebranded as Sick Building Syndrome ?
Maybe, maybe not, but SBS could then be used to explain Sudden Death syndrome
although that might make it difficult to justify home detentions for the ‘infected’.

Can’t wait for intelligent homes which will let us and the proper authorities know when our actions are simply not healthy and safe either for us or the community, be it the way we cook food, the food we eat, the stuff in our bodily discharges. The AI entity will thus be able to keep everyone safe by appropriately controlling our access to the outside world. Can’t wait. 😀
PS: have you ever tried cooking with electric stoves? Good luck having good control over the heat.
True dat. you can’t cook well on electric stoves. Anyone who actually cooks knows that.
Irrelevant. You can’t cook if there’s no food.

Presently being marketed are “smart” vacuum cleaner robots. As well as inefficiently cleaning, they map the inside of your home and transmit the digital data. Probably analyse air quality and send that info as well.
“iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO (3550) Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum – Now Clean By Room With Smart Mapping, Empties Itself For Up To 60 Days, Works With Alexa, Ideal For Pet Hair, Carpets, etc.”
Oh, so looking forward to smart toilets!
DNA can be detected in air as well and I am pretty sure that this is the underlying reason (PCRs & digital health-passports to collect the DNA)
Interesting. Could you post a link for detecting DNA in air, for the benefit of our readers? Thanks! A2
Supposedly,
https://www.science.org/content/article/dna-pulled-thin-air-identifies-nearby-animals
The DNA would have to be known to do so, i.e. but this would involve finding lots of small segments and stitching them together (via a computer program functioning on the segments once they’re turned into computer code) into what matches the known DNA. Wouldn’t one have to know that the segments being assembled into larger entities, the genomes, actually come from the same genome?
For human animals, sorry Sam.
Journals Smithsonian biology DNA of animal species.
Personally anything out of the US Smithsonian is brilliant imo.
Its less about air quality and more about packing people into small, tightly closed, spaces. “Pay More for Less” is the order of the day because that’s the only way we can maintain the semblance of the status quo while growing the population. (SciFi writers visualized it as as a dystopia, an easy process because all you do is take your everyday life and extrapolate it.) Unlike the tiny homes of yesteryear, the ‘back to backs’, the modern house needs to be sealed to minimize energy consumption which means that indoor air quality is going to be negatively affected by open flames.
As with any change there’s usually a wealth of information and disinformation frothing up to justify it, especially if that change has a negative impact on people as a whole. There’s also the issue of how much is enough. For example, in our world we have a quasi-governmental agency called the AQMD that’s charged with monitoring and maintaining air quality. Initially it had an urgent task — the air quality in Los Angeles was legendary, and even then most people had to experience it to actually understand how bad it was. Cleaning it up to a decent standard was relatively straightforward but posed the problem of what to do next. Cars are now at the point where most of the pollution they generate is from tire and brake pad wear, for example, and they’re easy to control because they don’t have powerful political lobbies on their side. Trucks were tougher. Then there’s railway locomotives and ships in the harbor. And industry, of course. But eventually you’re looking for details — wood burning fires are easy, barbeques and garden tools and portable generators, not so much. But the regulations grind on until they discover not the common gas stove but the gas everything else — home heating, water heating. This may turn out to be a tough nut to crack because the infrastructure isn’t there to support a Renewable Energy Utopia so they just mandate ‘no gas hookups’ at the local level and leave it to the customer to think something out. Whatever happens, the AQMD rumbles on, getting more and more zealous as the problems are eliminated….with no end in sight.
Its not just California. What we do influences other countries. My brother ran headlong into similar regulations in the UK and all he wanted to do was swap out an aging dual fuel boiler for a new one. Should be simple. It wasn’t. I can see a lively trade in older, used, appliances in the future.
Where does your brother live in the UK. They’ll help him with an energy efficient boiler. Your best asking local traders and let them sort inspection chit. Aftermarket new. I know what you mean about old appliances. UK/US there are classics imo.
The only way the US of As can “influence” other countries is by bullying them. If that doesn’t work they’ll bomb the crap out of you.
Thanks Kit. “pushing more ‘smart’ tech” was my exact thought when I heard the crap about gas stoves. If the past 20 years (since sept 11 2001), or really since TV, have taught us anything, it’s that any time tptb are “concerned” about us, we’d better start worrying.
Right on Lorie!!!
There are still plenty of rubes in America who urge us to “write our congressional reps” —- far more success in complaining to Dominion Voting Systems!!!
Over the last 3 year gas stoves have skyrocketed in price and usage as there fairly cheap to use overall.
Gas canister is approximately 1.50$ and will last a whole week of hard use off cooking and making constant teas / coffee etc in boiling of water.
My Asia friends have been using them for years.
It became very well known in the van / car community as in people not being able to afford to live in homes no more due to the costs.
Your argument fools flat on it face, as you dont work in the real world Kit.
Most air is regulated as in A/c in most awful buildings, especially the cooperates.
The yanks love this shit air quality and the E.U hospitality industry and work environments is trying to mimic this fukcin dreadful Yanks inspired A/c air control.
DWP (department of work and pensions building) in the U.K has air control from HQ.
So does HMC courts/tribunals. as mentioned and most cooperate buildings have this air control.
So do new Colleges and University’s. HQ air control.
Not forgetting Hospitals. Schools.
The Windows are hardly ever open and some places the window are locked shut.
Within a majority of these environments the microwave is the only form of new world cooking.
Air = breathing = control hypnotism is also control of mind body spirit. Thats for a more deeper decision.
My theory is this…. The Gas Oil company’s (which is the government) putting the pressure in – to stopping people finding this cheaper option.
War of energy.
20$ including free gas canister.
People are still clinging to these outdated notions of “private” property or spaces – that it’s “your home”. Indeed, since it conflicts with the social contract of collective health, the concept of “private” needed to be abolished.

In the name of Public Health, “private” parts were abolished long ago.

Unfortunately, the California Legislatures’ penchant to rely on questionable medical “consensus” is nothing new. During the 1920s, California adopted “model laws,” in which law enforcement conducted the proactive arrest of women suspected to have sexually transmitted diseases—all in the name of public health. Literal law enforcement sweeps, arrests, and forced gynecological exams would happen with no probable cause needed.
California relied on the U.S. Attorney General’s published opinion that these proactive public health efforts were constitutional and that the public’s interest trumped individual liberty. One of the reasons that this unbelievable and sick overreach is even known is that during a particular morality sweep, of the 22 women arrested and inspected that day, two of the arrestees were sisters, one of whom was Margaret Hennessy. The wife of a Standard Oil manager, she was recovering from influenza and was out for some fresh air with her sister, which was a common practice in that day.
Mrs. Hennessy had the courage to go to the news media and let her outrage be known, which should be an example to all of us. California’s “morality policy” using public heath concerns to expand the power to investigate, detain, and arrest individuals was illegal then and is still illegal now.
The first step in combating authoritarian overreach is not debating what or why they are doing something. It’s making the government identify where their authority to impose a mandate or new law comes from and then impose the constitutional test. You already know the answer, don’t you? They don’t have the authority to do what they are doing.
The covid curfews (“lockdlowns” and quarantines) also kept a vast number of urban people out of fresh air and sunshine.
“I believe we should stop trying to prevent all symptomatic infections in healthy, young people by boosting them with vaccines containing mRNA from strains that might disappear a few months later,” (Dr. Paul “Murderer” A. Offit, an FDA vaccine panel adviser and professor of pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia).
TRANSLATION: I’m afraid I’ll get the death penalty for knowingly approving the death-shot.
[Not enough backpedaling & not soon enough Dr. Offal]
Fryem!
Dr Paul Profit is only scared that the new mRNA technology in vaccines will take away from the millions he is making from his roto”virus” vaccine.
From a 2015 article:
Dr Offitt, who has made millions of dollars developing, licensing and selling Rototeq, a rotovirus vaccine that sheds in the stool for weeks after the shot. Rototeq has caused 350 deaths and was once found to be contaminated with pig viruses. Offit’s vaccine was taken off the market temporarily because it caused occasionally fatal intussusception in infants.
Dr Offit once proclaimed that vaccines are so safe that an infant could be given a thousand vaccine doses without harming the child! And yet, a few years ago, when there was an $10,000 reward offer for any physician who would swallow the contents of a (that is, ONE) typical vaccine after being informed of the toxic ingredients. There were no takers. After all, why would a healthy person want to swallow such toxic stuff (and yet physicians are quite willing to inject the same toxic ingredients into their well babies!).
It is interesting to note that if vaccines were to be dumped in an EPA monitored landfill, they would have to be labeled as hazardous waste, because of the presence of mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde, propylene glycol (antifreeze), squalene, viral particles and many other contaminants of many of the vaccines.

Leaving aside the obvious surveillance aspect (which is why I want as few Internet connected devices as possible in my apt and none on my body) does any of this stuff even work? Like all the fit trackers seem very dubious to me beyond tracking heart rate – I’m skeptical they can really assess sleep quality for instance.
And even the heart rate monitors are fairly useless,,,,if one has a heart that doesn’t beat regularly they get confused….and heart rate variability is more the thing that matters and very few handle that….just a gimmick to make the obsessive feel happy when out doing anything with one on….they even have them in the pool swimming….one isn’t supposed to just enjoy life any more…
Right – and the majority of people buying this shit are just on the couch anyways.
The electronic scales app is a blag.
I’m now sitting in the doctors and it is back to wall to wall barriers with the receptionist behind a barricade handing me a mask. She didn’t say wear it so I’m not. I’m guessing this Auschwitz chic is here to stay. Ooh did you hear what I said there? I’m so dangerous! Someone take away my soapbox!
So I went in to see the doctor and asked if I’m supposed to wear this mask. He said, “Well we ask you to”. And since he was wearing his I assumed he was a bit pissed off about me continuing to not wear mine. Slight hostile atmos there.
But it got me thinking. Three years into this charade and the NHS staff must still grind this grunge out? Do they really believe it? Are they all scared they’ll get struck off for so much as a snort of derision?
The competency and integrity of any doctor or health care practitioner still advocating mask use is immediately in question.
I kept my annual prostate check appointment at Main Line Health’s (MLH) Lankenau Medical Center this past Tuesday although I no longer assume that such routine checkups are helpful as marketed.
Last week, I visited another MLH facility to get the required pre-checkup PSA blood test. I wasn’t wearing or carrying a mask, but the receptionist handed me one. Yes, I “automatically” wore it. I was annoyed because when I visited the Medical Center for my checkup last year, the hospital didn’t require masks. Why would one MLH facility still require masks if another doesn’t?
Anyway, on Tuesday I was disconcerted to find “Masks Required” signage posted all over the hospital. I just kept going. I was certain that the urology office staffer who did my intake would hand me a mask, just as the laboratory receptionist did.
Every staffer and patient in the waiting area was masked. I was (pleasantly, more or less) surprised that the receptionist didn’t hand me a mask, or even officiously point to the signage in the suite. Dr. H. is low-key, and, er, more focused on my nether regions than my face. But I was sure that he would at least remark upon my non-compliant masklessness.
Instead, I was flabbergasted that no one said one goddamned word about my non-masked countenance. That was “good” and “encouraging”, as far as it goes. But in its own way, it was disconcerting. It is accurate to describe this by saying that everybody treated me as if I were wearing a mask. I found this eerie.
It’s not as if this is “news”, but this surrealistic episode is proof to any rational thinker that masking is not, and never was, a “public health” measure. Yeah, I know that for most Off-G commenters, this is an old story.
But I remain surprised, and even aghast, that especially the medical professionals aren’t bothering to keep up appearances, and/or that medical center management evidently doesn’t insist that staff reinforce the “mask up for everybody’s good health” Big Lie. 😷 🤔
A fascinating story and one that proves that nobody really believes any of it. It appears to be pure habit unaccompanied by thought. It may even reach the point where the masks indicate some kind of “ethereal” difference whose meaning has long disappeared.
Last time I went I said no. No prostate check. No PSA test. Period. If you do have cancer the risk is low because it grows so slow. And the surgery does serious damage and significantly affects your quality of life. My personal doctor suggested to never get tested for those reasons. He retired before Covid. Trusted him with my life. I can assure you the AMA would not stand with my position. Why is that?
For what it is worth, medical people claim the growth can be fast or slow. PSA is another ambivalent test. Consider herbal supplements.
I plan to do the same the next time I go to the doctor. “Do I have to?” Just to fuck with them. They are just covering their asses. Fucking liars. They will never stop lying. I have no respect for modern medicine. They will never deserve it until they come clean.
I heard it. More people have been killed and maimed by this “vaccine” than all of the people killed and maimed in the WWII era concentration camps. That’s what I heard.
MSM source notices there’s something going on with UK excess deaths – followed by the inevitable attempts to spin the causes:

The next thing you know, these climate clowns will have all of us living in caves and cooking our meals by a campfire outdoors. GOD help this once great country.
Open fires will be banned in the not-too-distant future. Gotta save the planet.
They would rather you were dead.
Once Great ?
Not since Columbus. It was great before that-
Indian Chief “Two Eagles” was asked by a white U.S. Government
official, “You have observed the white man for 90 years . You’ve seen
his wars and his technological advances. You’ve seen his progress, and the
damage he’s done.”
>
> The Chief nodded in agreement.
>
> The official continued, “Considering all these events, in your
opinion, where did the white man go wrong?”
>
> The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then
calmly replied:
>
> “When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt,
plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water. Women did all the work, Medicine man
free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; All night having sex.’
>
> Then the chief leaned back and smiled “Only white man dumb enough to
think he could improve system like that.”
So the story is nothing is going to happen, but be afraid? ….you risk getting the label fear porn….but I get your point.
Only thing missing from the article was a gas canister advert and link to a site that sells them.
It the type of shit that Deranged ranger and Alex Jones disinfowhore does.
