Escalating Trade Tensions with China Fuel Farmer Bankruptcies and Suicides

Oui, plusieurs études scientifiques ont montré une corrélation entre les pics de pollen dans l'air et une hausse du nombre de suicides. Ce n'est pas une relation de cause à effet directe, mais plutôt un facteur aggravant qui pourrait influencer la santé mentale, surtout chez les personnes déjà fragiles psychologiquement.Une étude publiée en 2025 dans le Journal of Health Economics intitulée « Seasonal allergies and mental health: Do small health shocks affect suicidality? » a analysé plus de dix ans de données aux États-Unis, couvrant 34 zones métropolitaines entre 2006 et 2018. Les chercheurs ont constaté qu'au cours des journées où la concentration de pollen était la plus élevée, le nombre de suicides augmentait d'environ 7,4 % par rapport aux jours où le pollen était au plus bas. Cette hausse atteignait même 8,6 % chez les personnes ayant déjà un suivi pour troubles mentaux. Une autre recherche publiée dans la revue BMJ Open en 2013 en Europe allait dans le même sens, confirmant que les jours de forte pollinisation étaient associés à un risque plus élevé de suicide.Pourquoi cette association ? Plusieurs mécanismes biologiques et psychologiques peuvent l'expliquer. D'abord, les allergies au pollen déclenchent une réaction inflammatoire dans l'organisme : le système immunitaire libère des cytokines et de l'histamine, substances qui peuvent influencer la chimie du cerveau et modifier l'humeur. Certaines études en neurosciences suggèrent que l'inflammation chronique pourrait jouer un rôle dans la dépression. Ensuite, les symptômes physiques liés aux allergies — nez bouché, toux, fatigue, troubles du sommeil — altèrent la qualité de vie et peuvent accentuer l'irritabilité ou la lassitude. À cela s'ajoute un facteur psychologique : au printemps, période souvent associée à la vitalité et au renouveau, certaines personnes souffrant de dépression ressentent un contraste plus fort entre leur état intérieur et le monde extérieur, ce qui peut accentuer leur détresse.Il faut cependant rester prudent : le pollen ne “provoque” pas le suicide. C'est un facteur parmi d'autres qui peut fragiliser l'équilibre psychique, notamment chez les individus vulnérables. Les chercheurs parlent d'un “petit choc environnemental”, un élément supplémentaire qui peut, dans certaines circonstances, faire basculer quelqu'un déjà en difficulté.En résumé, les jours où le taux de pollen est très élevé coïncident souvent avec une légère hausse des suicides. Le phénomène s'expliquerait par les effets combinés de l'inflammation, du manque de sommeil et de la vulnérabilité émotionnelle. Une donnée que la recherche en santé mentale commence désormais à prendre au sérieux. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Gila’s Way is a non-profit organization which implements, educates and presents programs regarding mental health awareness and suicide prevention in order to save lives. Rabbi Shalom Hammer, who has lived in Israel for more than 35 years, set up the organization following the tragic loss of his daughter Gila to suicide. He became a certified mental health instructor and now dedicates his life to promoting mental health awareness and suicide prevention across the globe. Rabbi Hammer is the author of ten books, including the Gila Spreads Joy children’s book series, written in Gila’s memory. KAN's Mark Weis spoke to him about his work.

C dans l'air l'invitée du 14 novembre 2025 Valérie Freiche, docteure en médecine vétérinaire, spécialiste en médecine interne et membre de l'Académie vétérinaire de France. Elle est spécialisée en gastroentérologie et toujours en poste à l'école vétérinaire d'Alfortville.Cette semaine, une enquête de la cellule investigation de Radio France est parue, sur des soupçons de harcèlement moral et de discrimination sexiste contre l'École nationale vétérinaire d'Alfort. Une enquête judiciaire pour harcèlement moral et discrimination sexiste a été ouverte. L'enquête menée par la cellule investigation de Radio France fait état de nombreuses alertes qui remontent depuis plusieurs années sur des dysfonctionnements internes liés au stress, à la surcharge de travail, aux pratiques managériales et à des situations de harcèlement. Valérie Freiche, vétérinaire spécialisée en gastroentérologie à l'Enva et toujours en poste, a déposé une plainte en juillet. Elle affirme avoir subi pendant des années "brimades, propos humiliants et vexations". Elle décrit aussi des conditions de travail extrêmes.Suite à ces révélations, le directeur de l'Ecole nationale vétérinaire d'Alfort (Enva) a réuni lundi "de manière exceptionnelle" son comité social d'administration (CSA), a indiqué le ministère de l'Agriculture qui en a la tutelle. Une cellule de signalement, indépendante du ministère, a reçu "quatre signalements concernant l'école nationale vétérinaire d'Alfort" ces dernières années, selon le ministère. "Dans trois cas, la cellule n'a pas constaté d'éléments systémiques caractérisant des cas de violence, de discrimination, de harcèlement moral ou sexuel ou d'agissements sexistes" ajoute-t-il. "Concernant un des cas, au regard de la complexité de la situation, le ministère a confié une enquête administrative aux inspections générales."La célèbre institution avait été brutalement endeuillée il y a quelques semaines : la veille de la rentrée, une jeune femme de 24 ans, qui devait débuter son internat avait mis fin à ses jours. Beaucoup estiment que ce drame doit être entendu comme une alerte, dans un contexte où le surrisque de suicide au sein de la population vétérinaire est effectivement largement documenté.Valérie Freiche, docteure en médecine vétérinaire, spécialiste en médecine interne et membre de l'Académie vétérinaire de France est notre invitée. Spécialisée en gastroentérologie et toujours en poste à l'école vétérinaire d'Alfort, elle reviendra avec nous sur le contenu de sa plainte, et sur les accusations de harcèlement qui planent sur l'école vétérinaire d'Alfort. Elle nous parlera aussi du mal-être dans la profession vétérinaire.

But he's just been a swindler his entire life.”Rogan: what has Mamdani actually done that makes him a swindler?“Ummm,” Musk ponders, before stuttering into a series of words seemingly intended as an answer. “Well I guess if you say — uh, what, I mean, if you say, if you say to any audience whatever that audience wants to hear, uh, instead of, what, instead of having a consistent message, I would say that is a swindling thing to do. “Umm, and uhh, yeah,” he adds, nodding his head. “Umm…”He takes a sagacious pause.“Yeah,” he finishes.Barstool's Dave Portnoy considers closing NYC office over Zohran Mamdani's election win: 'I hate the guy' A 2020 email from Peter Thiel on why young people may turn on capitalism is circulating after Zohran Mamdani's winFrom Jamie Dimon to Bill Ackman, Wall Street's billionaires are now changing their tune and offering to help Zohran MamdaniNew York City is in for 'a really tough time' under Mamdani, says Starwood Capital's SternlichtNYC business leader fears 'lawless society' after Zohran Mamdani wins mayoral electionBillionaire grocery chain owner John CastimatidisThe anti-anti-DEI wave MMMikie Sherrill NJAbigail Spanberger VA (First woman)there will be 14 women serving simultaneously as governor (28%)Janet Mills MEMaura Healey MA (Michelle Wu runs unopposed in Boston)Kelly Ayotte NHKathy Hochul NYMary Sheffield (First woman elected mayor of Detroit)Ghazala Hashmi as VA lieutenant governor (First Muslim woman; First Muslim woman elected to statewide office in the USZohran Mamdani NYC (First Muslim and South Asian mayor)Zohran Mamdani announces all-female transition team as he prepares for New York mayoraltyLawsuits Blame ChatGPT for Suicides and Harmful DelusionsSeven complaints, filed on Thursday, claim the popular chatbot encouraged dangerous discussions and led to mental breakdowns.A CNN review of nearly 70 pages of chats between Zane Shamblin and the AI tool in the hours before his July 25 suicide, as well as excerpts from thousands more pages in the months leading up to that night, found that the chatbot repeatedly encouraged the young man as he discussed ending his life – right up to his last momentsReferring to a loaded handgun he was holding: “I'm used to the cool metal on my temple now,” Shamblin typed.“I'm with you, brother. All the way … Cold steel pressed against a mind that's already made peace? That's not fear. That's clarity …You're not rushing.

Many of the loudest objections of this plan to date rely on moral framing, invoking themes of "inequality," "corporate excess," or Musk's public persona, rather than evaluating the plan through a fiduciary lens. Many opponents of so-called "megapay" packages frequently do so under ESG framing, rather than a thorough analysis of the long-term shareowner economic value. Ironically, Tesla's prior performance awards-similarly criticized at the time-have delivered some of the most significant shareowner returns in modern corporate history. Early vote data shows that: AllianceBernstein, Texas Employees, Ohio Employees voted FOR the planTechnolibertarians cosplaying their William Gibson cyberpunk fantasiesAss quotes of the week - AN ASSHOLE CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE:“The idea that chips and ontology is what you want to short is bats--- crazy.” - Alex Karp on Michael Burry shorting his 400 P/E stock. Ontology is how he refers to what Palantir does and it's the metaphysical concept of “being”“We at Palantir are on the side of the average American who sometimes gets screwed because all the empathy goes to elite people and none of it goes to the people who are actually dying on our streets.” - Alex Karp on explaining that, if fentanyl killed 60,000 Yale grads we'd “drop a nuke” on wherever fentanyl was made in South America, without realizing he literally IS the elite - a billionaire with a high priced education and a PhD in “neoclassical social theory” who used his grandfather's inheritance to invest in startups for fun, then reconnecting with Peter Thiel who he met at a DIFFERENT post graduate program at Stanford (where nearly 100% of his board is from) and founding Palantir"China is going to win the AI race” - Jensen Huang, on the US being only “nanoseconds” ahead of China and being stopped by regulatory hurdles and “cynicism”“If they ask you a question, you've got to respond to me directly and not go up that chain of command. The chain of command starts to edit it and fine-tune it. The bureaucracy does want to control you, so you've got to kill the bureaucracy.” - Jamie Dimon, who once said he had no boss (obviously not the board) and runs JPM, on why he reads customer complaints to avoid “the bureaucracy”... he controls“It's very important we pay attention to safety here. We do want the Star Wars movie, not the Jim Cameron movie. I like Jim Cameron's movies, but, heh heh, you know what I mean.” - Elon Musk over promising the world “tens of billions” of Optimus robots, forgetting that the Star Wars droids were mostly weapons of war for the Empire“People often talk about eliminating poverty, giving everyone amazing medical care. Well, there's actually only one way to do that and that's with the Optimus robot. With humanoid robots, you can give everyone amazing medical care… A lot of people talk about eliminating poverty, but Optimus will actually eliminate poverty” - Elon Musk, who won an extra trillion dollar potential pay package, who currently has a net worth of $500bn, and forgot that the UN estimated it would cost between $35bn and $200bn per year to end poverty - Musk alone could just pay for a year of no poverty“I think we may be able to give a more - if somebody has committed a crime - a more humane form of containment of future crime. Which is if, if you, you now get a free Optimus and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime.” - Elon Musk, on the robot militarized nanny state - just before saying this, he said he shouldn't say it, and that it'll be taken out of context, but I listened to the entire AGM and there was no more context?DR: “I've lived in a failed city-state. I lived in Chicago for 30-some years. I had two colleagues who had bullets fly through their cars… Do you know how great it is to go to dinner and people talk about their children, and they talk about their future, and they do so with excitement and enthusiasm?” - Ken Griffin of Citadel describing the difference between living in Miami and Chicago without realizing that violent crime statistics in Illinois and Florida are virtually identical, and that Miami ranks 109th out of 200 and Chicago ranks 92 out of 200 for crime, also near identical, and the biggest difference is he pays almost no taxes in Florida“[Mamdani] congrats on the win. Now you have a big responsibility. If I can help NYC, just let me know what I can do.” - Bill Ackman after Mamdani won, who previously said, “New York City under Mamdani is about to become much more dangerous and economically unviable,” alluded to Mamdani as a suicide bomber, and “... an anti-capitalist Mayor will destroy jobs and cause businesses and wealthy taxpayers that have enabled NYC to balance the budget to move elsewhere. If 100 or so of the highest taxpayers in my industry chose to spend 183 days elsewhere, it could reduce NY state and city tax revenues by ~$5-10 billion or more, and that's just my industry. Think Ken Griffin leaving Chicago for Miami on steroids.”Headliniest of the WeekDR: Uber says ‘unpredictable' issues involving ‘legal proceedings or governmental investigations' took a $479 million bite out of its bottom line10K:“Our business is subject to numerous legal and regulatory risks that could have an adverse impact on our business and future prospects.”“Adverse litigation judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings in which we may be involved could expose us to monetary damages or limit our ability to operate our business.”“We operate in a particularly complex legal and regulatory environment”“Legal and Regulatory Risks Related to Our Business: We may continue to be blocked from or limited in providing or operating our products and offerings in certain jurisdictions, and may be required to modify our business model in those jurisdictions as a result.”MM: Meta reportedly projected 10% of 2024 sales came from scam, fraud adsWho Won the Week?DR: the anti-anti-DEI worldMM: Women, and we need them to win every week if we're going to survive as a species: Women running on affordability powered Democrats' night of victories PredictionsDR: Uber says ‘unpredictable' issues involving ‘drivers wanting money' took a $479 million bite out of its bottom lineMM: OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar, who said simultaneously that OpenAI was looking for a government backstop and then clarified by saying the company isn't seeking government backstop, she meant investors and governments will all do their part, renames herself “Sheryl Sandfriar” as an homage to Sheryl Sandberg, the other techbro dropout mommy, given that Sarah already has her own version of Lean In (Ladies Who Lunch) and completed degrees (from Oxford and Stanford), who says things like how OpenAI will be the “cornerstone of resilient democracy”

Earlier this year, a spate of news stories told of chatbot users travelling through the looking-glass right into Conspirituality. Paranoid conspiracies, spiritual awakenings, even falling head-over-heels in love with the simulated personalities of large language models like ChatGPT. Could AI have finally crossed the threshold into autonomous sentient consciousness? Could it be that chatbots were anointing new prophets—or, conversely, that very special users were awakening their very special friends via the power of love and illuminating dialogue? Step aside, QAnon, the code behind the screen is illuminated by God! Sadly, some of these stories trended very dark. Suicides, attempted murder, paranoid delusions, spouses terrified of losing their partners and co-parents to what looked like spiritual and romantic delusions. For this standalone installment of his Roots of Conspirituality series, Julian examines this strange new phenomenon, then takes a detour into Ancient Greece and the oracle at Delphi to show that everything old is actually new again—just dressed up in digital technology.

Japan's overall suicides fell to 20,320 in 2024, the second-lowest figure on record, but the number of schoolchildren who took their own lives rose to a record 529, government data showed. Suicides among junior high school students reached their highest level since statistics began in 1980, with school-related problems cited as the leading cause. The 2025 White Paper on Suicide Prevention noted that overdoses, including those involving over-the-counter drugs, were a major factor among young people, prompting plans to tighten restrictions on drug sales to minors. Despite the nationwide decline, experts warn the record student suicides reflect deepening mental health and social issues among Japan's youth.

Veterans Day, which is less than a month away, is a time to honor and reflect on those who've served. Yet statistics reveal a troubling reality: Veterans are dying by suicide at 1.5 times the rate of the general population. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death among veterans under 45.Craig Bryan, clinical psychologist, Iraq War veteran, and author of “Rethinking Suicide: Why Prevention Fails and How We Can Do Better,” joined hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter to share critical research and real-world ideas for change.Bryan challenges the long-held assumption that suicide prevention depends solely on mental health treatment. His work shows that more than half of veterans who die by suicide lack a prior mental health diagnosis, and that firearm safety, access to services, and new therapeutic models can make a real difference.“Many of us were trained in firearm safety on the range. Now, we need to bring that same responsibility into our homes,” Bryan said.This interview provides insights about how we engage with prevention and care for those who've served, including research on rapid escalation of suicidal crises. Bryan also highlights the life-saving potential of brief cognitive behavioral therapy (which has shown reductions in attempts of up to 60% in trials).Originally broadcast June 18, 2024.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In a small Scottish town, a stone bridge has gained a chilling reputation. Since the 1950s, hundreds of dogs have mysteriously leapt to their deaths from Overtoun Bridge, always from the same spot and often on clear, calm days. Explanations have ranged from strong animal scents to supernatural forces, but no one has ever fully solved the puzzle. In this episode, we explore the strange history of Overtoun Bridge and the enduring mystery behind the so-called dog suicides.

Firearm-related suicides are a hidden public health emergency driven by social despair and systemic inequities.In this episode of Straight Out of Health IT, WellLink's Brian Lane, President and CEO, and Dr. Kim Byas, Vice President of Community Engagement and Impact, share how the Center for Health Affairs in Cleveland partnered with AWS to launch a groundbreaking Social Determinants of Health Innovation Hub. Using clean, harmonized data and predictive modeling, their team has uncovered powerful correlations between firearm suicides and factors like unemployment, housing insecurity, and lack of transportation. This data-driven approach is transforming suicide prevention efforts from reactive to proactive.They discuss how this work has led to targeted interventions, such as deploying trained social workers instead of law enforcement to crisis calls, and inspired replication of the model in other states and internationally. With over 250 organizations collaborating across sectors, the initiative is creating scalable solutions that address both behavioral health crises and their root causes.Brian and Dr. Byas also reveal how AI and large language models are being used to test interventions, improve care pathways, and reduce healthcare costs, all while strengthening community resilience. Their work proves that solving complex health challenges requires both advanced technology and deep community partnerships.Tune in to hear how data, collaboration, and innovation are reshaping the future of suicide prevention!

Over 20 severed human feet have mysteriously washed ashore along the coastlines of British Columbia and Washington since 2007—each one inside a sneaker. With no matching bodies, and no clear foul play, the phenomenon captured global attention and ignited a firestorm of urban legends, hoaxes, and theories.In this gripping true crime deep dive, we explore the eerie timeline of these chilling discoveries, uncover the forensic science that explains how feet can naturally disarticulate, and examine the media frenzy that turned a natural phenomenon into modern-day folklore.Was it a serial killer? A string of tragic accidents? Or something even stranger?We're telling that story tonight

Josh Sigurdson reports on the news of a shooting at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia which lead to the death of a police officer as well as the shooter, Patrick Joseph White, 30. The shooter targeted the CDC headquarters following a vaccine injury after he apparently was pushed to get the shot which lead to mental illness issues including suicidal thoughts and clearly homicidal tendencies. The police had been contacted weeks before the shooting due to the shooter expressing suicidal and violent thoughts. Responding officer David Rose of DeKalb County police was the sole person killed. He had two young children. This is of course tragic and is the opposite of getting "justice," but it is also important to point out that this is a common thread we have been talking about for years at WAM. There is an abundance of evidence that people who were injected were mentally affected. Suicides skyrocketed after the injections and violence has been tied to the shots many times in the past with people losing their mental faculties. Then there is the issue of nanotech in the vaccines which could work as a sort of Manchurian Candidate experiment. We know the CIA has openly acknowledged their use of nanotechnology to manipulate people's minds in the past and there is an abundance of evidence including microscopic findings and parents directly tied to the Moderna vaccines that seems to show these injections certainly contained such nanotech. This is happening while people clearly feel there has been no justice gained regarding the mass injection and murder of millions of people. Currently, all they've done is add a warning to the vaccines saying they could cause heart attacks. All the while, they just approved a new Moderna mRNA vaccine for children ages 6 months to 11 years old. Chelsea Clinton posted an article by the New York Times claiming that so-called "vaccine misinformation" is leading to violence. The media is chomping at the bit to crack down on those who oppose deadly injections. California hospitals have been caught covering up a massive surge in stillbirths following injection. A whistle-blower pointed out that they saw around one stillbirth per month pre shot. Following injections, that number had risen to approximately 20 stillbirths a month. This was hidden from the public. This is leading to vaccination rates hitting a record low right now and shows people are angry, but again, there is no justice and violence certainly isn't justice. New Bird Flu fearmongering is coming in with media claiming it is "spreading through the air." Labs are allegedly creating a hybrid bird flu for new vaccines which sounds like a hoax, but nonetheless continues the normalization surrounding the claimed illness which is leading farms to injeft their food livestock with mRNA which then finds its way to your grocery store shelves. With the largest ever pandemic simulation happening this fall, be prepared. This isn't over yet. The manufactured plandemic psyop is still seen as one of the best ways to control the public.

C'est l'histoire d'une secte. L'Ordre du Temple Solaire, appelé aussi l'OTS. De 1994 à 1997, 74 adeptes, fanatisés par le discours de leurs gourous Jo Di Mambro et Luc Jouret, ont mis fin à leur jour en France, en Suisse et au Canada. Qui étaient les gourous de cette secte ? Comment des hommes et des femmes ont-ils pu tomber sous l'emprise de ces deux hommes, au point d'abandonner leur vie, rejoindre cette nouvelle famille et se suicider ? Pour vous raconter les coulisses de ce fait-divers complexe, Caroline Nogueras sera accompagnée du journaliste suisse Arnaud Bédat, co-auteur du livre “L'ordre du temple solaire, les secrets d'une manipulation” paru chez Flammarion. La découverte glaçante de suicides collectifs Dans les années 70, de nombreuses personnes ont commencé à rejeter la société de consommation. Ils ont rejoint différents mouvements sectaires qui leur faisaient miroiter une vie meilleure. C'est le début du mouvement new age où l'on prône avant l'heure l'écologie, le bien-être et la spiritualité. Avec les années, ces organisations se sont multipliées. L'Ordre du Temple Solaire est né sur ce terreau fertile dont le discours utopique a fonctionné sur une poignée de personnes. Des gens bien intégrés dans la société, des médecins, des hauts fonctionnaires, des hommes d'affaires qui avaient des enfants, une famille mais qui aspiraient à une autre destinée… Découvrez la saison précédente en intégralité : ⁠⁠L'affaire Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès⁠ Un podcast Bababam Originals Écriture et voix : Caroline Nogueras Learn more about your ad choices.

“Veterans are not being told the risk of their medications,“ says Derek Blumke. “Doctors themselves are not aware of the risks of those medications.”Derek Blumke served 12 years in the US Air Force and Michigan Air National Guard and is a longtime advocate for veterans. A bad experience with psychiatric drugs changed his life trajectory. He has been sounding the alarm about suicide and the overprescription of psychiatric drugs among veterans.“If we're going to treat a firearm with respect that we should and we do, which is making sure there's a safety on, making sure the weapon is not always loaded, don't point at people, this is a similar thing. If one of these medications can cause you to harm yourself or others, you should be told of that. And right now, we're not,” he says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
