Do you ever wonder what happens when the police leave? Crime scene cleaners are private companies that handle the cleanup after the police are gone. Spalling DeCon is one of the nation's largest cleanup companies handling the aftermath of homicides, suicides, decompositions, hoarding and much more. These are our stories. We're here today. We have a death that happened Monday night. This was a long-term relationship and she gave him some space. Too much space she felt. Came to check on him and she found him laying on him. Alright, hi everyone. Ed and Chris is folding DeCon Southwest Florida. We're here in Fort Myers today. We have a biohazard. We just received this call yesterday since it's kind of an urgent situation. I guess fiance, husband had passed away. This was a long-term relationship and she gave him some space and maybe gave him too much space she felt. Came to check on him and she found him laying on him. Cause of death hasn't quite been determined yet, but we'll keep you posted. Kind of very unexpectedly and they were kind of living at two ends of the house, two masters. So we're here to kind of clean up the aftermath. Girlfriend is here and she's on site so Chris is working with her as we coordinate with the insurance company. One of the first things we'll do is get the airscropper up there. It's definitely got a pretty potent smell to it. That's going to be one of our first steps here today. And who we have with us today? This is Rick Clevis. Rick Clevis, it's your first day? Yes. How do you feel? Are you excited? Are you nervous? A little. That's fair. I guess that comes with it. And you're Chris's brother, right? Correct. Awesome. Alright. We've got a whole family business going on now. Keeping it in the family. Ready to get at it? We're ready. Let's do it. We're looking for a cell phone and a brown cowboys... A black hat? Just a hat or something for cowboys. This looks just like a normal mask, but this is... This is where the buyers started everything. I'm getting a little bit there. See the outline right there? See, it looks like the hikies have blood in it, man. Oh yeah. See a light hat? We thought this hikies would be easy, but we thought we'd see some blood in here, too. Part of that process is they vomit. They defecate. That's why we're seeing a lot of that. But there is some blood in there. Yeah, we've got that. Alright, we've got the carpet. It is. Oh, yeah. We're just a little checked over here. We do have some bio in the bed right here. We have a little bio right here. Ricky, what was your first impression like? You ever seen a leftover bio like that before of a body? I used to do a lot of desert activities on motorcycles and stuff, so... Yes. If you don't have anything, you know, have your foot get on any of this and step somewhere else on the carpet. So we're now finally going to get that area. So we're just a little bit past where that piece of dirt is. Now go a little further out. Your way. That's good. Put this in the bio bag. That means the blood seeps in to this area right here. So we do the extractors. I'll try to just make sure we don't have blood. We've got to cut this out a little further. It takes a pretty good bit here. Can you give it a little light? Okay, we'll cut that out. After we have this bio here, we'll just have leaned against that or something with a hand. You know, maybe that was a saving accident or something. Sometimes we've got to do it like, you know, one time, five times to keep cool it now. So we'll see if it can still indicate. When you fill it a little bit here, we'll cut this tax strip out, maybe. We'll pop it out. We've got a little bit of everything that's in it to watch. Yeah. We'll take a little double-check on some of these areas here. I hope that feels pretty good. We'll learn about this process. I think we've got to watch for what these edges, the grout lines, you know, the baseboard, see if it can seep into that or not, and maybe right after. Most of them are really like right here, and I'm right here. So this grout area here is what I've been hitting a couple of times because it seemed to have a little bit of a puddle, so it can seep anywhere. Probably right here. I'm going to have to get this into his water. We've got to cut it out. We've got to bring it to where it doesn't indicate, but if you come on to surface, nine times out of ten, you know, if it's a porous material, you've got to cut it out where it gets, like behind or underneath. You know, you've got to get what, you know, the last trace of it, so that might be to remove whatever's on top to get whatever went underneath, just like we did here. Now, exactly what the deal is here in the story, I don't think it had anything to do with death at the time, but we're definitely getting some indication of all this. So this is something that becomes a bio for us to clean, clean, and so we just got to follow what the indication tells us. And then everything we use right here for paper towels needs to go into the bio again. Oh, what the story is here when there's definitely some blood in the shower. So there was something more to the story as far as him, you know, bleeding.  So this will put it in the bio bag. We'll get the steamer with the little, the little round brush head, and we'll get this, go around his grout line to see what's going on. The steamer's the yellow one? Yeah, make sure it doesn't have any indication. I'm going to go out and try to, I guess the owner had an accent with the candles and we'll see if we can't get this thing up for him. She was doing something with a candle that fell. It was melted. Yeah, she was saying he was getting nosebleed. So that's why it's nosebleed. Oh, nosebleed. Nosebleed. That's why there's blood on the pillowcases that we were finding and on the bed. That's why it's in the bathroom? Yeah, bathroom two around the handles. In the tub. In the tub. Yeah. Yeah. We're just getting nosebleed. The work job today is going to be to go through the rest of the cleanup on bio and we'll make sure there are all of our indications that anything that has bio on it is handled. So actually what you could do, Ricky, is let's get the knives. Because we had some bio on the bed. There were pieces out on the bed. All right. I think we got all the bio. We'll take a little bigger check here on some of the clothing and stuff that's laying around. I think we're pretty good here with the actual bed mattress and bed topping. Take them back. I think we got some indication in the rail. There's a penetration spot right here. Yeah. And a little penetration spot here and I went into the, got a little bit into the texture. Yeah, looking good. Okay. So this area is area, is that right? We treated it now four times now. You're looking pretty good, huh? Yeah. I think we could tell that this tub was refinished before. We could kind of tell by the finish coming off or turning to, like, a piece. There's a microwave pot that they've been looking for. It's got some signatures from 1988 on it. So, it's a memorabilia. I guess one of those times was the pot. So if you try to find it, there it is. All right, Ricky. How'd the first day go? It was all right. Tough that it was on the second floor. Yeah. What's your background? What's your line of work before this? In the electrical field for 35 years before that and before that a couple of years in law enforcement. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. So you've seen crime scenes before? Yeah, yeah. When the people are still there. Oh, okay. So even worse than this. Yeah.  Just wrapped up a biohazard job. We got the call yesterday. We were here about four hours. There's three of us here working upstairs on the second floor. Spent the better half of the time cutting the carpet and checking the tile and disinfecting the bathroom. There was some biohazard waste on the floors and the carpet. A little bit on the bed as well. Not real sure how long he was there for. She didn't seem to know. Thought it started to smell something and she's on the other side of the house. She came to check and she found him. So while the guys were in there cleaning up, I was with the client. We reached out to her insurance company. She was very thankful that we were there to be able to do that for her. She really wasn't up for talking to them and explaining to them everything that had happened.  I am. He has first bio. I was a little nervous. I could tell he was real quiet, but I think he did okay. He just did okay. We'll talk about that. There's a baby bio. Yeah, a baby bio. A little step into our world. Yeah, in talking with the client, he had a history of heart condition. So it was cardiac related. Cardiac arrest. I guess there were some other health issues that he had, maybe some behavioral characteristics that led to health issues that kind of all piled on top of each other. The client is very, very happy with where we're at right now. I think the big thing is the assistance with the insurance. That just was something she wasn't comfortable with. So Chris has been working with the insurance company while we were taking care of the scene. It's a very sad situation, but it's also a great feel good because you could just tell she's 100 pounds off her shoulders right here or right now just because of where we're at and once we've reviewed everything with her. I think she's going to get her appetite back and maybe get some rest. It's been a long few days for her. Yeah, one of the things that she shared with me, she goes, I'm so glad that I reached out to you guys. You guys were definitely the right company, so that made me feel good. That's what we do. That's what we're here for. Until next time. Thanks for watching, guys. Don't forget to like, share, subscribe, and ring that bell to be notified of the next episode.

Many times when we think of racism, we tend to think of direct actions of people of a dominant group towards a subordinate group. These actions tend to cause physical, mental, and emotional harm. But perhaps one of the most subtle forms of racism is environmental racism. Environmental racism is the way which minority groups are burdened with a disproportionate number of hazards, including toxic waste facilities, garbage dumps, and other sources of environmental pollution. This type of racism is quietly practiced through the passing of bills and laws that allow companies such as coal plants, landfills, and toxic waste facilities to be built in places that are disproportionately in areas where low income and people of color live. These facilities fill the air with harmful contaminants and lead to health issues. But what does this really look like? Environmental racism can be seen in people drinking contaminated groundwater, children playing on school playgrounds next to a plant producing toxic emissions, people being exposed to asbestos and lead in older homes and schools, or corporations attempting to build nuclear waste dumps on protective native lands because those lands are not protected by tough state environmental regulations. Coal power plants are some of the worst offenders, and according to a recent NAACP report, 39% of people that live within 3 miles of a coal power plant are people of color, and those coal plants that are in urban areas are overwhelmingly placed in communities of color. Worldwide, the dumping of toxic waste in developing countries is prevalent due to lower environmental standards in developing countries, the power of multinational corporations, the lack of power in developing countries, and putting corporate profit before people. E-waste, or the dumping of discarded and used electronics is causing a global concern too. 20 to 50 million tons of e-waste are generated each year globally, and approximately 80% of e-waste is exported to Asia each year. The Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, estimates that only 15 to 20% of e-waste is recycled yearly. Examples of health issues related to environmental racism include asthma and respiratory illnesses, lead poisoning, and higher rates of lung cancer in those living within close proximity to coal-producing plants. The highest rates of asthma tend to be in low socioeconomic communities and communities of color. Asthma results from exposure to air pollution, cigarette smoke, dust, and pesticides. According to the Center for Disease Control, or CDC, asthma is most prevalent among multiracial populations at 14.8%. Puerto Rican Hispanics at 14.2%. Non-Asian Blacks at 9.5%. While asthma rates among non-Hispanic whites is at 7.8%. When it comes to exposure to air pollution that can contribute to asthma and other respiratory illnesses, the CDC found that racial and ethnic minority groups who tend to live in urban areas experience greater disparity and illness. Taxic facilities tend to be built in environments that have little resources and political power to protect their communities. The Environmental Protection Agency is meant to help protect the environment and people from the harmful effects of facilities that has proven to be unresponsive. According to the Center for Public Integrity, more than nine of every 10 times that communities have turned to it for help, the EPA has either rejected or dismissed their Title VI complaints. Title VI is part of the 1964 Civil Rights Act that states public funds cannot be used to encourage discrimination. In the EPA's 22-year history of processing almost 300 environmental discrimination complaints, the office has never once made a formal finding of a Title VI violation and 95% of the time communities of color that live in communities with polluting facilities have their filed claims of civil rights violations denied by the Environmental Protection Agency. This is a complicated picture and our dependence on energy production and electronics makes it difficult to walk away from, but that shouldn't mean that disproportionate numbers of lower socioeconomic groups and people of color should have to pay the higher price. So, what other examples of environmental racism can you think of that impact you or your community? What is the long-term impact on society when groups of people continue to experience environmental racism? And how does our current lifestyle contribute to environmental racism? Is change possible?


So as time is going on, the big question, or one of the questions really comes out, is how would everything do with futures for Ethereum? And actually, that just dropped today. So the question is actually answered, and what we have right now is a little bit of a lackluster performance. So first, everybody, welcome to Digital Asset News. We're gonna go over a couple of things today. Future ETFs, we're gonna talk about the job market and macro economics just real quick. And then also, we're gonna talk about why Bitcoin is pretty much unbeatable as we compare it to the last 12 years or so. So the first thing's first, how ETH futures ETFs fared on day one. And this was actually from yesterday. Today is October 3rd, 2023. It's from October 2nd. And here's what we got. Volumes today, nowhere near the volumes the inaugural Bitcoin futures offering saw two years ago. Six Ether Future ETFs launched by ProShares, Bitwise, and VanX saw trading volumes of roughly two million. ProShares, Ether strategy all the way with nearly $900,000 in daily volume, 900,000. Sounds like a lot, but it's nothing. VanX Ethereum strategy eclipsed the $400,000 mark. So what does that look like over time? It looks like this, as a matter of fact. Here's the volume of Ethereum futures. Now we can see that this isn't the first time, this isn't the first rodeo going around, but we can see that back in the day is quite a bit of a volume. And of course, we could see that this was roughly a year ago. Now, we are on the grips of a bear market. So take this with a grain of salt. I know everybody's excited about ETFs, especially when we talk about Bitcoin spot ETFs. And the question always is, well, how will that translate if it actually gets approved this year? This year, I don't think it's a big deal. But I think if we move it out to March of 2024, I think when everybody believes that it'll be approved or, personally, maybe not approved, I think that's the bigger play. And right now we can see that this is the same thing. When we don't have the liquidity in the market, when we don't have the desire, when we have the narrative of the bear market and we have that narrative of higher for longer from the Federal Reserve and the macroeconomics are pretty much in the toilet, this is what we get. So it's not just my opinion, Bloomberg intelligence, Eric Bauchunis, call the initial Monday volumes of the funds pretty meh, meh. Knowing the first Bitcoin features ETF did about 200 million in its first 15 minutes. Let me say that again. 200 million dollars first 15 minutes Bitcoin features ETF. That fund, the pro-shares Bitcoin strategy launched in October, 2021. Again, the height of the bull market. So of course it's gonna do that. So when people say, ah, there's not really that much difference between the bear and the bull markets, it is painfully obvious. It saw roughly 950 million in trading volume over the on its first day and reached a billion in assets under management in two days. So if you wanted to know where things were going as far as with the ETH futures ETF, there you go. It's lackluster, that's just how it is we're in a bear market, boohoo. But it's not all bad news. There are some bright spots in the horizon. This is from Brian Kentons. He is the former head of the CFTC. And he said something very interesting. He says, by approving the ETH ETFs based on ETH commodity futures contracts, the SEC has officially provided clarity on ETH status as a non-secure. I think we can all get behind that. With so much innovation being built on Ethereum blockchain, this creates a clear path for builders. It's ridiculous and insulting that it took so long to get here but it's a big win for the crypto space. And again, this is the former head of the CFTC but take this also with a grain of salt because you have to understand where does Brian work now? He works head of policy at 16 Z crypto. That is a huge, massive Andreessen Horowitz VC fund which is all focused on crypto and digital assets. So again, take out the grain of salt but I will say that Brian, when he was at the CFTC he was a huge proponent of everything crypto and he wanted everything to be regulated under the CFTC and man, I wish he would have. And yeah, let me know what you think about that in the comments section. Here's what we have for that piece. But again, going back to that narrative about the macro environment. Well, how is things going? Not so great. So it depends on how actually you look at it. This just came out. Again, I'm stealing all of Ben's stuff from the Cryptiverse, links in the description, 10% off the first month. Job openings, now what the Fed wants to do is what they want to raise rates. And what they want to do is they want to increase unemployment. And of course, if they raise unemployment they're looking to decrease the job openings. Unfortunately, lately, it hasn't been the case and we just got the numbers today and it massively exceeded what we thought was gonna do. But you can see it's actually putting in higher lows, in all honesty, over here, back down here. Now we had job openings of 10.3 million. Now we put it over 8.92 million, higher low of 9.61 million. I expect this to actually keep doing the same thing and going down and down and down, but this is not looking good. So when we have the Fed meeting in November, expect them, if you didn't think they're going to go higher for longer, they're going to. Maybe you didn't think they're gonna raise rates. Jerome Powell even said it in his last meeting. He said, we could potentially raise rates in the next two meetings and November could be it. Also, if we take a look at the job openings, take a look at the initial claims for unemployment, we can see that. We blow this up so you can actually see it. Of course, this is the surveys of virus. And over here, we can see there's a little bit of an uptick in initial claims so people are not working. The jobs are opening. You know what I'm curious about? Let me see if I can find it right now. The unemployment rate right now, actually, well, this is an August. It's 3.8% went up a little bit from 3.5 to 3.8. This is not something we should be cheering for, quite honestly. When people get out of work, it's not great, but unfortunately, this is the natural cycle of things that's what's happening. So with all the stuff that we just talked about here, here's what, as far as the FedWatch tool is saying, is going to happen for the November meeting, first November, 2023. Right now, the federal funds rates between 5.25 and 5.50, everybody's believing that it's going to be there the same. They do not believe it's gonna be, it's not going to be increased. And only 30% think that there will be an increase. However, it is something to note that if you click on this little button here called historical, and you can take a look at what everybody believed to be, if I could pop, pop, pop, pop. There. There. Historical. We'll do this again. So you can see, it's kind of tough to see actually. I'll just read it out. But over time, what people believe that the rate is going to be, see this one in red? This is where they think it's actually going to raise up. And over time, it was actually around 0%. They didn't think it would raise at all. And then it peaked over here, and now as the new data has come out, this is coming back to September 25th. It was only 18% of people thought that we'd actually see a rate hike. And now from September 25th, all the way to now October 29th, we can see that. It went from 18% all the way up to 30%. So if we keep getting the same news, same people will say, yeah, I think it's actually going to raise up. And then we could see a rate hike. And what'll happen with the market? Well, same things that happened today. So we got those numbers. Here's the S&P 500. The last day, has it been too great? But let's take a look at five days. Again, not too great one month, not too great, but six months, not too bad one year. And of course, five years. We're not at the all time high, but we're seeing a little bit of a drop off. And the same thing can be said for the crypto market. And we had a great couple of days, Sunday and Monday, but now it's time to pay the piper. We were dropped off by 1%, Bitcoin, everything else in the last 24 hours, but not as bad as you would expect it to be, especially with the S&P 500 going down 1. something percent. Same thing that happened with, well, Bitcoin's 1.8. So not too bad for a risky market. And that's what we have right there. So having said all that, and talked about the Ethereum futures and how bad it could potentially be and all that good stuff. How does Bitcoin stack up to everything? And this is why I remain bullish in this sector. And I believe things are going to do really well, especially with these ETFs coming out and institutions coming in and people building and all the different institutions coming in. There's this great chart, which is actually released by Charlie DeLeo. And he took a look at the total asset class returns since 2011, since 2011. And what's at the top is Bitcoin. What's at the very bottom, long duration treasuries. And everything in between. You have real estate investment trusts every year since 2011. You've got bonds, stocks, goals, commodities, U.S. value, U.S. cash, mid caps, convertible bonds, U.S. large caps, grow up in Aztec 100 and the very top Bitcoin. And you can see that Bitcoin beats out everything over the last 12 years. What is that number? 8,908,509% cumulative. That's kind of ridiculous. Let's just do annualized, 144%. And we see that, not bad. Nasdaq has 17, U.S. growth is 14, large caps is 12. And when you see this, and I remember seeing these types of things back in 2017 and it wasn't that big of a deal folks were like, well, you know, what's going to happen in the future? From here, of course, we have the same thing always happens as far as the four year cycles. We get a halving in 2016. We get an all-time high the next year, 2017. We get a huge dip in 2018 and a reset in 2019. We get a halving in 2020. We get an all-time high in 2021. We have a huge dip year in 2022. And we get a reset, which right now we're still beating everybody. 61.7%, 2023 year to date. 2024 will be a halving, come hell or high water, which will happen in I think April or May, quick minute comments. And after that, maybe we'll see the all-time high in 2024, maybe 2025 or maybe something wacky happens with 2026. But the reason why I'm so bullish is because it's not just us looking at this. It's all the large institutions. It's all the large caps out there. And it's everybody that's taking a look and going, where am I going to invest? My portfolio, my retirement account, all the different stocks that are eating it this year, or maybe all the different real estate investment trusts or gold or whatever else. I think they're gonna look at this and go, maybe I should allocate a small percentage to Bitcoin and maybe some crazy old. So that's what we have for the news day. Let me know what you think about that in the comments section.

It's a dance. And you're dancing around this because you're trying to obscure responsibility for 4 million people dying around the world from a pandemic. Well, now you're getting into something. If the point that you are making is that the grant that was funded as a sub-award from EcoHealth to Wuhan created SARS-CoV-2. That's where you are getting. Let me finish. We don't know. Well, wait a minute. I can... But all the evidence is pointing that it came from the lab. And there will be responsibility for those who funded the lab, including yourself. Our alleging is that gain of function research was going on in that lab and NIH funded it. That is not... Get away from it. It meets your definition and you are obfuscating the truth. And you are implying that what we did was responsible for the deaths of individual. I totally resent that.  Welcome back, everyone. Thanks for watching. Do you all remember way back? Like way, way, way back a couple of months ago when Senator Rand Paul grilled Dr. Fauci about funding gain of function research at the very same Wuhan lab that this virus likely escaped from. Remember how angry Dr. Fauci got when an elected representative in the process of oversight asked probing questions about this funding and even accused Dr. Fauci of being a liar, which is against the law when you're under oath and testifying to Congress. Dr. Fauci, knowing that it is a crime to lie to Congress, do you wish to retract your statement of May 11th where you claimed that the NIH never funded gain of function research in Wuhan? Senator Paul, I have never lied before the Congress and I do not retract that statement. This paper that you were referring to was judged by qualified staff up and down the chain as not being gain of function. What was, let me finish.  You're saying that's not gain of function. That is correct. And Senator Paul, you do not know what you are talking about, quite frankly. And I wanna say that officially. You do not know what you are talking about. I remember that too. And since we're discussing ancient history, let's talk a little bit about the media reaction to this exchange. Instead of holding Dr. Fauci's feet to the fire, which actual journalists would do, they actually maligned and attacked an elected representative. Instead of scrutinizing Fauci, we got this. Senator Rand Paul, we tried to make Dr. Anthony Fauci into his personal punching bag today as they went head to head over the senator's bogus claims at the National Institutes of Health somehow played a role in funding research that led to the origins of the pandemic. And Dr. Fauci was definitely not having it. Well, what is wrong with Rand Paul? Seriously. I know that's what you at home are thinking because I'm thinking the same thing. What's wrong with him? What is he trying to prove? Rand Paul, stop it.  Dr. Fauci, we've just been talking about how Dr. Fauci in every interview for the past 16 months that we've been talking to him is very even keeled. He listens to everybody's questions. He tries to answer them, but that was a different tone than he had taken. It sounded like he had really sort of hit his limit. But as you said, you said it perfectly. He's done. He's had enough, Allison. Some people, frankly, on the right, and it's a precursor to this misinformation campaign we're seeing right now, want to use him as an example of how what you're seeing, what you're feeling, what you're hearing with regard to COVID is not actually true. And check out some of these ridiculous headlines at the time. Clemming Fauci destroyed Rand Paul. Ironically, the intercept joined in on this dog pile at the time, clemming that Rand Paul demanding accountability, quote, chill scientific debate. That brings us to the breaking news on this subject brought to us by the very same intercept who got their hands on solid proof that Dr. Fauci lied via the Freedom of Information Act. From the article, quote, newly released documents provide details of the US funded research on several types of coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. The intercept has obtained more than 900 pages of documents detailing the work of EcoHealth Alliance, a US-based health organization that used federal money to fund back coronavirus research at the Chinese laboratory. The back coronavirus grant provided the EcoHealth Alliance with a total of 3.1 million, including 599,000, that the Wuhan Institute of Virology used in part to identify and alter back coronaviruses, likely to infect humans. EcoHealth Alliance, why that's the very same organization that Dr. Fauci admitted to funding so they could work on viruses at the Wuhan lab, but definitely no gain of function research. The intercept also interviewed a molecular biologist at Rutgers University named Richard Ebright who confirmed, saying, quote, viruses that constructed were tested for their ability to infect mice that were engineered to display human type receptors on their cell. Ebright even went as far to straight up call Dr. Fauci a liar, saying, the documents make it clear that assertions by the NIH director, Francis Collins, and the NIAID director, Anthony Fauci, that the NIH did not support gain of function research or potential pandemic pathogen enhancement at the Wuhan Institute of Virology are untruthful. You guys think good enough? So I think we have to tip our hat to the left-wing intercept for doing real journalism and holding a left-wing icon to account for his seemingly unchecked, unelected power. It'll be interesting to see if the other networks pick up this story or if the intercept becomes the next target of the extreme left. That's all I have for this one.
