THE DRUDGE REPORT is at this moment
linking to two stories that by themselves aren't very
interesting, but when taken together are most revealing.
Let's start with the story titled Young Singers
Spread Racist Hate. It's about a pair of twin 13-year-old
girls who call themselves Prussian Blue and who sing
about white nationalism, or, at least that's what
the story claims they sing about, and it's laced
with captions like "Teaching Hate" or "A
Taste for Hate" that suggest that the writer/producer
really wants us to believe that these are really
very hateful 13-year-old girls.
The only thing is, they can't
really make the case for that. There is this
quote, attributed to one of the girls, which reads:
"We're proud of being white, we want to keep
being white," said Lynx. "We want our people
to stay white … we don't want to just be, you
know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race."
Is that hate?
I ask because DRUDGE links to another story on the
same page titled Palm Beach County: 'More Jewish' than
N.Y., from which it can be quoted:
If Jews can assert their heritage by going to a show
at the Kravis featuring a Jewish comedian or by enjoying
a bowl of matzo-ball soup at their local deli, they
may not feel the need to join a synagogue, local Jewish
leaders say. Add to that the challenges the religion
has faced in recent decades from interfaith marriages.
Clearly, the desire is being expressed
here that Jews continue to marry other Jews.
Prussian Blue expresses the desire
that whites marry whites. So that's hate. But when
Jews express a desire that Jews marry Jews, that isn't
hate?
Nor is it hate when Israel, the Jewish
state, passes legislation aimed at preventing Muslims
marrying Jews?
Nor is it hate when foreigners
who work in Israel are forced to agree to not have sex
with Jews? [...]
The Prussian Blue story is by ABC
News. The President of ABC News is David Westin, who
is a Jew. ABC News of course is owned by The Disney
Corp. The President of Disney is Robert Iger. Who is
a Jew. The Chairman of the Board at Disney is still
Michael Eisner. Who is a Jew as well.
A news organization that answers
exclusively to Jews sees hatred in one race expressing
a desire to foster "racial identity", but
declines to see the same when their own express the
very same desire.
It's worth noting that Matt Drudge
is Jewish as well.
If by white nationalism the
producers means white supremacy, then yes, I agree
that the implication of such an agenda must be considered
hateful. [...]
So, getting back to hatred for a moment, if
a white supremacist is somebody who believes that
God meant for white people to rule this land and
that therefore they are entitled to use violence
to drive all others from it, doesn't that then mean
we should describe those Jews who advance the notion
of the Jewish state - as opposed to a Jewish homeland
- as Jewish supremacists?
They see that land as being given to them by God,
and that therefore they have the right to use violence
against all others who would stake claim to it, do
they not?
Somebody please, tell me... what is
the difference?
Why is the hatred expressed by Jewish
supremacists any
less offensive than that expressed by white supremacists?
And how do Jews in the media here in America get away
with continually pointing at white hatred while never
paying any attention to Jewish hatred in Israel, even
though it can be reasonably argued that it is the reason
we've been made to fight this so-called war on terror?
[...]
Who decides what is hate and what
isn't?
People who have the moral clarity
to see it and the personal courage to speak out when
they do. |
In his January 28, 2003 State
of the Union Speech, President Bush uttered 16 words
that have since come back to haunt him. "The British
government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently
sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." [...]
This quote came from a document issued by Number
10 Downing Street titled, "Iraq's Weapons of
Mass Destruction: The assessment of the British Government".
This document has since become more widely known as
the "Dodgy Dossier" following exposure that
it was written from plagiarized student thesis papers. In
one case, information in the Dodgy Dossier was 12 years
old, dating from before the UN sanctions on
Iraq, hopelessly outdated and obsolete, but included
because it portrayed Iraq as heavily armed with banned
weapons. Prime Minister Tony
Blair has since apologized for this document. [...]
Following Bush's speech repeating the Niger claim
that Wilson knew to be false, Wilson went public, writing
an op-ed piece in the New York Times in July of 2003
that exposed the claim as deceptive.
As part of a campaign to discredit Wilson and prevent
him from further exposing the truth of the matter,
Joe's wife, Valerie Plame was revealed as a CIA operative.
[...]
Originally, George Bush tried to dump the blame for
the Niger claim on the CIA's George Tenet. The CIA
then demanded an investigation into the outing of Plame.
Then Attorney General John Ashcroft stalled for months,
then handed the investigation to Patrick Fitzgerald.
However, months before Joe Wilson's article appeared,
the International Atomic Energy Agency had examined
the documents which had surfaced in Italy purporting
to document the sale of uranium to Iraq and determined
that they were forgeries, and indeed, very clumsy ones.
This is the scandal behind the scandal.
The outing of Valerie Plame was not done out of revenge,
or as the Washington Post reports, part of a feud between
Karl Rove and the CIA. Joe Wilson's article started
to focus attention on the fact that the documents used
to claim that Iraq was buying uranium from Niger were
fakes!
The fact that the Niger documents
were fake is hard proof that the lies that tricked
this nation into war were not an accident, not "misinterpreted" or "bad" intelligence,
but deliberate falsehood with malice aforethought.
We The People were lied to intentionally to trick us
into supporting a war of conquest against an innocent
nation that had done us no wrong.
Where did the forgeries come from?
The documents had first surfaced in Italy, and in
July, 2005 the Italian Parliament released a report
naming four men as the likely forgers of the documents.
Michael Ledeen, Dewey Clarridge, Ahmed Chalabi and
Francis Brookes. Ahmed Chalabi is the former bank embezzler
who was at one time expected to lead Iraq in the post-Saddam
period.
Of the remaining men, Michael Ledeen deserves special
note. Shortly befo0re the forged documents surfaced
in Italy, Michael Ledeen paid a visit to the head of
Italy's secret service, SISMI. Ledeen's entourage included
Larry Franklin, since exposed as a spy for Israel operating
in the Pentagon Office of Special Plans, an operational
partner to the White House Iraq Group charged with "selling" the
war in Iraq to the American people. Larry Franklin
has confessed to handing classified information to
AIPAC, the Israeli lobby. Presumably the information
went from AIPAC to Israel. Less discussed is what disinformation
flowed back from Israel through AIPAC, to Larry Franklin.
What is known is that the claims regarding Iraq's weapons
of mass destruction that came from the Office of Special
Plans were as groundless as the claim that Iraq was
buying uranium from Niger.
Larry Franklin is not alone in handing
classified documents to Israel. Larry's boss at the
DPB, Richard Perle, likewise was caught giving classified
information to Israel in 1970.
Yet another official caught handing
America's secrets to Israel is Michael Ledeen himself,
as a result of which he (briefly) lost his security
clearance.
Ledeen was hired by Douglas Feith to start up the
Office of Special Plans. As a side note, it was Michael
Ledeen who arranged Jonathan Pollard's job with the
US Navy, which led to US Nuclear Deterrent Secrets
being given to Israel, who in turn traded them to the
Russians for increased emigration quotas.
The exploding Plame-gate scandal is
more than just the illegal outing of a CIA agent and
her associates. It is more than just the shutting down
of Brewster Jennings & Associates, leaving the
US without a means to track foreign nuclear weapons.
It is more than the extent to which the people of the
United States were lied to in order to trick them into
a war. Running through every single aspect of this
horrible mess are the clear traces of a foreign spy
operation that has infiltrated the government of the
United States to the highest levels and subverted the
nation to the purposes of that foreign government.
As of this typing, the men who gave classified information
to Israel are still in their positions. AIPAC,
the Israeli lobby implicated in the spy scandal, still
donates money to US politicians. US Politicians, more
damning still, continue to take it.
Americans are the victims of the greatest and most
deadly hoax in history; lied into a war of conquest.
As we are Americans, and as we are at heart moral and
just people, we cannot allow a single person who took
part in that lie to remain in a position of authority
or public trust, whether in government or in the media. |
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 - With a decision
expected this week on possible indictments in the C.I.A.
leak case, allies of the White House suggested Sunday
that they intended to pursue a strategy of attacking
any criminal charges as a disagreement over legal technicalities
or the product of an overzealous prosecutor.
Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the special counsel in the
case, is expected to announce by the end of the week
whether he will seek indictments against White House
officials in a decision that is likely to be a defining
moment of President Bush's second term. The case
has put many in the White House on edge.
Karl Rove, the senior White House adviser, and I.
Lewis Libby Jr., who is Vice President Dick Cheney's
chief of staff, have been advised that they are in
serious legal jeopardy. Other officials could also
face charges in connection with the disclosure of the
identity of an undercover C.I.A. officer in 2003.
On Sunday, Republicans appeared to be preparing to
blunt the impact of any charges. Senator
Kay Bailey Hutchison, Republican of Texas, speaking
on the NBC news program "Meet the Press," compared
the leak investigation with the case of Martha Stewart
and her stock sale, "where they couldn't
find a crime and they indict on something that she
said about something that wasn't a crime." [...]
But allies of the White House have quietly been circulating
talking points in recent days among Republicans sympathetic
to the administration, seeking to help them make the
case that bringing charges like perjury mean the prosecutor
does not have a strong case, one Republican with close
ties to the White House said Sunday. Other
people sympathetic to Mr. Rove and Mr. Libby have said
that indicting them would amount to criminalizing politics
and that Mr. Fitzgerald did not understand how Washington
works. [...]
A weakened White House, he said, could lead to further
infighting among the conservatives who provide most
of Mr. Bush's legislative, grass-roots and financial
support, and could leave the administration with even
less political clout to sway Democrats in Republican-leaning
states to back Mr. Bush's agenda. [...] |
An army of skeletons thought hidden
deep in the recesses of Texas closests are coming to
life as a result of Bush's nomination of longtime crony
and protectress, Harriet Miers.
Jerome Corsi, right wing author of Unfit for
Command – Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against
John Kerry has written an extensive series
of articles attacking George W. BUsh's Miers Supreme
Court nomination. This is one right wing extremist
who knows the danger of opening an old can of worms.
While an honest, a-political person might want
to see corruption uncovered and exposed, Mr.
Cosi suggests "It's time for the President
to withdraw this dreadful nomination or, if politics
dictate, Harriet Miers to withdraw herself from
consideration," arguing " so we might
avoid another long, painful, and needless examination
of old matters that probably would be better off
never exhumed. [...]
On October 18th, Bush brought in two Texas judges
to support his nomination of Miers, CNN reported what
one of them, Judge John hill had to say:
"Mr. President, we just all want to thank
you for this nomination," said John Hill Jr.,
a Democrat who was chief justice of the Texas Supreme
Court from 1985 to 1988 and served with Miers on
the Texas Lottery Commission.
"We are excited about it, and we are here to
try and let the people of America know what we all
know, which is that she is an absolutely fantastic
person and a great lawyer and will make a great judge," he
said.
"We actually know Harriet Miers; I hope that
still counts for something, somewhere," Hill
said. "I'd trust her with my wife and my life."
Putting Judge Hill's potentially crooked
connection with the Texas lottery corruption cover-up
puts his exuberant endorsement of Miers in a very different
context. He was, and possibly still is her partner
in her law firm and possibly in a criminal coverup.

Col. Lang is president of
Global Resources, Inc. and former defense intelligence
officer at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).
Throughout my long service life in the Department
of Defense, first as an army officer and then as
a member of the Defense Intelligence Senior Executive
Service, there was a phrase in common usage: "I
will fall on my sword over that." It meant that
the speaker had reached a point of internal commitment
with regard to something that his superiors wanted
him to do and that he intended to refuse even though
this would be career suicide. The speaker preferred
career death to the loss of personal honor.
This phrase is no longer widely
in use. What has taken its place is far more sinister
in its meaning and implications. "I
drank the Kool-Aid" is what is now said. Those
old enough to remember the Jonestown tragedy know
this phrase all too well. [...]
What does drinking the Kool-Aid mean
today? It signifies that the person in question has
given up personal integrity and has succumbed to the
prevailing group-think that typifies policymaking today.
This person has become "part of the problem, not
part of the solution."
What was the "problem"? The sincerely held
beliefs of a small group of people who think they are
the "bearers" of a uniquely correct view
of the world, sought to dominate the foreign policy
of the United States in the Bush 43 administration,
and succeeded in doing so through a practice of excluding
all who disagreed with them. Those
they could not drive from government they bullied and
undermined until they, too, had drunk from the vat.
What was the result? The war
in Iraq. It is not anything like over yet,
and the body count is still mounting. As of March
2004, there were 554 American soldiers dead, several
thousand wounded, and more than 15,000 Iraqis dead
(the Pentagon is not publicizing the number). The
recent PBS special on Frontline concerning Iraq mentioned
that senior military officers
had said of General Franks, "He had drunk the
Kool-Aid." Many
intelligence officers have told the author that they
too drank the Kool-Aid and as a result consider themselves
to be among the "walking dead," waiting
only for retirement and praying for an early release
that will allow them to go away and try to forget
their dishonor and the damage they have done to the
intelligence services and therefore to the republic.
What we have now is a highly corrupted system of intelligence
and policymaking, one twisted to serve specific group
goals, ends and beliefs held to the point of religious
faith. Is this different from the situation in previous
administrations? Yes. The intelligence community (the
information collection and analysis functions, not "James
Bond" covert action, which should properly be
in other parts of the government) is assigned the task
of describing reality. [...]
Without objective facts, decisions
are based on subjective drivel. Wars result
from such drivel. We are in the midst of one at present.

Kaminski attended the October
2005 meeting in New York City where Scott Ritter promoted
the idea that Al Qaeda is the principal terrorist threat
to America.
Kaminski calls Ritter, Hersh and Sibel Edmonds "gate
keepers"
Can we trust Ritter?
Plus, Ritter's recent remark on a radio show that
David Kelly's death really was a suicide -- despite
overwhelming evidence to the contrary -- should also
make us wonder about Ritter.

This is the story of the internet,
a passport and a chocolate mousse. The first told lies,
the second was useless and the third never eaten.
It started when I set off for Santa Fe to read from
my new book on the Middle East. There was to be an
interview with that iconic leftist radio host, Amy
Goodman, and an awful lot of people booked to listen
to Bob of Arabia. US immigration cheerfully ran my
little red passport through their computer scanner.
It's full of visas from pariah countries, but this
didn't seem to trouble the lady from Homeland Security.
What worried her was something different. "It
doesn't scan," she said. No, I said nonchalantly.I
was sent into a large room full of angry would-be
visitors to the United States. A tall man scanned
my irises and took my fingerprints. So that's that,
I thought. Not so. Forty-five minutes later, another
lady from Homeland Security - I still don't like
that word "homeland", with its dodgy echo
of the German "Heimat". I only needed 36
hours in the States, I said. To give a lecture without
a fee. Hundreds of people would be present.
"I'll see my supervisor to see if we can get
you in," she cheerfully announced. Long live America,
I breathed. Until she came back and told me her supervisor
would not let me travel. The lads and lassies who are
supposed to stop Osama bin Laden attacking America
were now making sure I couldn't read from a book in
Santa Fe.
Much deft technical work allowed me to give the talk
and the reading by satellite, right into the Santa
Fe lecture theatre. Then came the blow. One of the
organisers had told the New Mexican - a newspaper I
would now like to buy and close down - that the US
authorities had refused me entry because my "papers
were not in order." Which was true enough, up
to a point. But within hours, the internet - a vile
institution which I do not use - was awash with stories
that the United States had banned my entry to America
because of my critical articles about the Bush administration
or because I had long ago interviewed bin Laden or
because I was so horrible that no democracy would ever
let me stain its front doormat. [...] |
LEWISTON - The Bush White House
is the most corrupt administration in U.S. history
since President Warren G. Harding's, said Howard Dean
during his first visit to Maine as chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. Dean's comments Saturday
came as top White House advisers are being investigated
for their roles in the outing of a CIA operative and
Tom DeLay, the former second-ranking Republican in
the House of Representatives, faces conspiracy and
money-laundering charges.
"The first thing we're
going to do is we're going to have ethics come
back to Washington again," said Dean,
the keynote speaker at Saturday night's annual
fundraising dinner for the Maine Democratic Party
at the Lewiston Armory.
To deal with the "culture of corruption," Dean
said, there needs to be an ethics code in Congress
and stronger campaign finance laws. [...]

While President Bush and his War
Cabinet bear full moral responsibility for Iraq, they
could not have taken us to war without the complicity
of the "adversary press" and "loyal
opposition."
Today, this town is salivating over the prospect
that Karl Rove and "Scooter" Libby will
be indicted for outing Joe Wilson's wife as a CIA
operative. Thirty months ago,
many of those anxious to see the White House brought
down were hauling its water. Consider the
role played by our newspaper of record, The New York
Times. [...]
But the indispensable enablers of war are the New
Democrats and potential presidential nominees, Sens.
Kerry, Edwards, Clinton, Biden, and Bayh. Fearful
that Bush and Rove would use their refusal to authorize
war in October 2002 to impeach Democrats' patriotism,
they voted to give him a blank check for war. Six months
later, Bush cashed it.
The Democratic Senate could have slowed the stampede.
And if it could not have stopped it, it might at least
have gotten answers to crucial questions. How many
troops would be needed? What was the probability of
guerrilla war? What was our exit strategy? Instead,
the Senate surrendered the war powers the Founding
Fathers reserved for Congress to the president and
abdicated its constitutional duty. [...] |
WASHINGTON - Three lawmakers in
the U.S. House of Representatives called on Friday
for the Internet's core infrastructure to remain under
U.S. control, echoing similar language introduced in
the Senate earlier this week.
The resolution, introduced
by two Republicans and one Democrat, aims to line
up Congress firmly behind the Bush administration as
it heads for a showdown with much of the rest of
the world over control of the global computer network.
"Turning the Internet over
to countries with problematic human-rights records,
muted free-speech laws, and questionable taxation
practices will prevent the Internet from remaining
the thriving medium it has become today," said
California Republican Rep. John Doolittle in a statement.

The European Union withdrew its support of the current
system last month, and the issue is expected to come

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 - Despite
indications of C.I.A. involvement in the deaths of
at least four prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan, C.I.A.
employees now appear likely to escape criminal charges
in all but one of those incidents, according to current
and former intelligence and law enforcement officials.
Federal prosecutors reviewing cases
of possible misconduct by C.I.A. employees have recently
notified lawyers that they do not intend to bring
criminal charges in several cases involving the handling
of terrorism suspects and Iraqi insurgents, the officials
said.
Some of the cases are still technically under review
by the Justice Department... |
Months ago, in response to a post
I wrote about the military blogger Colby Buzzell, Kate
of Broken Windows told me to pay attention to Daniel
Goetz, a soldier writing a blog called All the King's
Horses. Regrettably, I never followed her advice. And
now, as Lizzy, Fred, and Navyswan tell us, it is too
late.
It is too late because Daniel has been silenced,
against his will. And not
only has he been silenced - he has been forced to
publicly declare himself "a supporter of the
administration and of her policies."
A stop-lossed soldier angry that he is still serving
in Iraq, seven months beyond his original enlistment
agreement, Daniel is no longer free to post on his
blog. Though he had taken care to adhere to the code
of conduct to which he is bound, it is likely that
a post of his on the Operation Truth website brought
his views to the attention of military officials.
Daniel's final post is heart-breaking;
the single most chilling thing about it, if you know
your Orwell, is its title: Double Plus Ungood.

In a groundbreaking study, the Journal of Nanotechnology
has published a study that found silver nanoparticles
kills HIV-1 and is likely to kill virtually any other
virus. The study, which was conducted by the University
of Texas and Mexico University, is the first medical
study to ever explore the benefits of silver nanoparticles,
according to Physorg.
During the study, researchers used three different
methods of limiting the size of the silver nanoparticles
by using capping agents. The capping agents were
foamy carbon, poly (PVP), and bovine serum albumin
(BSA). The particles ranged in size from 1 to 10
nanometers depending on the method of capping. After
incubating the HIV-1 virus at 37 C, the silver particles
killed 100% of the virus within 3 hours for all three
methods. The scientists believe that the silver
particles bonded through glycoprotein knobs on the
virus with spacing of about 22 nanometers in length.
While further research is needed, researchers are
optimistic that nanological silver may be the silver
bullet to kill viruses. The researchers in the study
said that they had already begin experiments using
silver nanoparticles to kill what is known as the super
bug (Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus). Already
used as a topical antibiotic in the medical industry,
silver may now come under consideration as an alternative
to drugs when it comes to fighting previously untreatable
viruses such as the Tamiflu resistant avian flu. |
Readers can be helpful, and one
just wrote in to inform us of a link that we had never
imagined - Donald Rumsfeld,
until he resigned and joined the Bush Administration,
was the chairman of something called Gilead which just
happened to make something called Tamiflu.
Now anyone who hasn't been on Mars for the last
month or two, knows that there were only two things
that were going to stop the human version of bird
flu. One was a bird flu vaccine (which probably would
work better if you were a bird) and the
other was something called Tamiflu. Yes,
that Tamiflu. In such short supply that the hundreds
of millions of orders that have been pouring into
Gilead probably won't be filled for another 12 months
or so. But everyone has got to have it because
somehow or other it became established that Tamiflu
really worked.
This was the party line, anyway, for about a week,
until word began trickling back in that maybe Tamiflu
didn't work. In fact, the word on Tamiflu has always
been positive at first and then eventually negative.
It's a kind of pattern. [...]
Now isn't it an 'amazing coincidence'
that the drug Tamiflu patented by Gilead Sciences
is being pushed by the National Institutes of Allergies
and Infectious Diseases as the NUMBER ONE choice
for flu, which, wonder of wonders, is sweeping through
in one epidemic after another." [...] |
[...] Another
big clue to Dubya's
displays of dementia comes in "photo-ops" showing
him slugging back diet Coke with
other Aspartame addicts, like Chicago's mayor Richard
Daley. Their beet red faces spell either embarrassment
over Bush's hijacking of America, or aspartame poisoning. [Chicago
Sun Times, Sept. 27, 2002]
According to Carol Guilford, an
Aspartame expert and support worker, the President-Select's "pretzel" pratfall
was most likely an Aspartame seizure. Bush, like
Carter, Al Gore and millions of Americans, is addicted
to this constant caffeine hit. Among the FDA's listed
92 symptoms for Aspartame poisoning are: "Difficulty
Swallowing", "Fainting" and
"Unconsciousness".
Bush's facial lesions, removed as a result of "Too
much sun"
is another sign of Aspartame poisoning. So was his
recent knee surgery: Aspartame depletes synovial fluid
lubricating the joints.
Would you drink 6 to 12 cans of formaldehyde a day?
It turns out that methanol in Aspartame converts to
formaldehyde in the tissues. As Guildford wrote to
USN Captain Eleanor Marino, Physician to the President
(Feb. 21, 2002): 10% of a 200mg can of diet soda is
straight methanol wood alcohol! Methanol is such a
gross cumulative poison, the EPA's limit for drinking
water is 7.8 mg daily. For serious addicts like Bush,
the methanol intake can exceed 32 times the EPA's recommended
limit..
Now the punch line: Clinical
case studies shows that, among other symptoms, Aspartame
ingestion results in
"mind fog", feeling "unreal", poor
memory, confusion, anxiety, irritability, depression,
mania, and slurred speech. [Neurology 1994]
Alcohol-related brain damage is not helped by chugging
formaldehyde. James Turner, consumer protection lawyer
and author of The Chemical Feast learned that an Oct.
1980 FDA inquiry found that the formaldehyde formed
by Aspartame actually eats microscopic holes and triggers
tumors in the brain.
That finding banned Aspartame from the food supply.
But three months later, Searle CEO Donald
Rumsfeld told that pharma giant's sales staff he would
get Aspartame approved pronto. The
next month, the FDA commissioner was replaced by Dr.
Arthur Hayes. In Nov. 1983 the FDA approved aspartame
for soft drinks. Under fire for accepting corporate
bribes, Hayes went to work for Searle's public-relations
firm. Searle lawyer Robert Shapiro coined the name
NutraSweet. Monsanto bought Searle. Rumsfeld received
$12 million for his help. Shapiro now heads Monsanto. [...] |
This information will help answer
a lot of questions as to why so many children are depressed
and committing suicide.
Two-thirds of the population and 40% of the children
in this country are using products with aspartame (NutraSweet/Equal/Spoonful/Canderel,
Benevia, E951, etc.). It is a neurotoxic drug, a deadly
chemical poison, and masquerading as an additive.
The 50% phenylalanine in it as
an isolate is neurotoxic and goes directly into the brain.
It lowers the seizure threshold and depletes serotonin. When
you lower serotonin it triggers manic depression or bipolar,
mood swings, anxiety, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, panic attacks, paranoia,
hallucinations, etc. It also interacts with ALL antidepressants. In
fact, it interacts with just about every drug used to treat
the problems it causes. This is all discussed in the huge medical
text, Aspartame Disease: An Ignored Epidemic by H.
J. Roberts, M.D. www.sunsentpress.com or 1 800 827 7991.
The concern also
in this country right now is obesity and diabetes.
Aspartame is the cause of this in my opinion as
it's a drug that makes you crave carbohydrates
so you gain weight. [...]
The Trocho Study
in 1998 showed the formaldehyde converted from
the free methyl alcohol in aspartame accumulates
in the cells and damages DNA with most toxicity
in the liver. When the liver
is this toxic it is even more difficult to lose
weight. It also showed substantial toxicity in
the adipose tissue or fat cells. If you want
to get fat, NutraSweet is where its at. [...] |
The
Man Who Would Murder Death
A rogue researcher challenges scientists to reverse
human aging

By THOMAS BARTLETT
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Cambridge, England
October 28, 2005 |
[...] Aubrey de Grey is [a] 42-year-old
English biogerontologist [who] has made his name by
claiming that some people alive right now could live
for 1,000 years or longer. Maybe much longer. Growing
old is not, in his view, an inevitable consequence
of the human condition; rather, it is the result of
accumulated damage at the cellular and molecular levels
that medical advances will soon be able to prevent
- or even reverse - allowing people to go on living
pretty much indefinitely. We'll still have to worry
about angry bears and falling pianos, but aging, the
biggest killer of all, will cease to be a threat. Death,
as we know it, will die. [...]
Mr. de Grey recommends using stem-cell therapy to
introduce new cells that can fill in the gaps left
by dead ones. He also suggests that plaques that
accumulate around cells - which may be responsible
for diseases like Alzheimer's - can be dissolved
with small molecules called "beta-breakers." [...]
"I assumed that everyone was beavering away on
aging," he says. "But it gradually occurred
to me that I might be wrong about that." The field,
he believed, needed him. "Gerontology has more
than its share of not terribly bright people," he
says. That's because, according to Mr. de Grey, progress
is incremental, so there's less chance for a young
researcher to make a big splash, and consequently,
the best minds go elsewhere.
One will not find Mr. de Grey in the laboratory hovering
over petri dishes or test tubes. He readily acknowledges
that he lacks the qualifications to perform experiments.
What some might view as a handicap, he sees as a strength: Rather
than spending his time behind a microscope, he reads
the literature and searches for connections that a
specialist may have missed.
Buoyed by his early success, Mr. de Grey started thinking
bigger. He came to believe that
most people in the world, including most scientists,
are in a "pro-aging trance." That is, they
believe that getting old is awful but inevitable and
therefore it is best not to think about it. But what
if aging were preventable? What if death were not a
foregone conclusion? [...]

STATE COLLEGE, PA (AccuWeather.com) -- Hurricane
Wilma has joined forces with a storm off the mid-Atlantic
coast to produce what AccuWeather.com Meteorologists
have termed "SuperStorm 2005." The SuperStorm
is currently producing winds over 40 mph from New
Jersey to New England. Martha's Vineyard, Mass.,
reported a peak wind of 49 mph and reports of winds
up to 50 mph have been received from the New Jersey
coast and Long Island, Ny.
The storm has three major components that will impact
many people across the mid-Atlantic into the Northeast.
The first component, as already mentioned, is the high
winds lashing the coastal areas. The strongest winds
and the potential for damage and even power outages
will occur across eastern New England today. Winds
in that area are forecast to gust up to 60 mph. Given
the already soggy ground, the winds could easily cause
trees to be blown over.
The second component of the storm is the flooding
threat. Heavy rain has already fallen overnight across
New England. Over an inch of rain has been reported
in many areas. Another 2-4 inches of rain is forecast
across New England and, based on the reports from emergency
management in New England, 2 inches of rain will cause
renewed flooding problems. Heavy rain will also impact
parts of eastern Pennsylvania , eastern New York and
New Jersey where flooding of small streams and creeks
will occur.
The third component of the storm is the heavy wet
snow. Reports of over 2 inches of snow and power outages
have been received by AccuWeather.com across south-central
Pennsylvania this morning. The bulk of the heavy snow
has fallen across the higher elevations of West Virginia,
where over 4 inches of snow has been measured. The
heavy, wet snow will spread into central Pennsylvania
this morning, then into the Poconos of Pennsylvania
later today and tonight. Snow will also develop across
the Catskills of New York, and the mountains of Vermont
and New Hampshire. Elevations about 1,500 feet will
have over 4 inches of snow. With trees fully leafed
in many of these areas, the heavy weight of the snow
can weigh down tree limbs onto power lines, resulting
in scattered power outages.
The SuperStorm is forecast to move up along the New
England coast tonight and be in the Canadian Maritimes
by midday Wednesday. Dry, chilly and blustery weather
will follow the storm. If the
stormy weather along the Eastern Seaboard is any indication
of the winter pattern, then prepare for a wild winter. Keep
in mind, AccuWeather.com Winter Outlook is calling
for above normal snows over much of the Northeast and
northern Appalachians this winter. |
Flood warnings are in place across
Britain tonight after heavy rain and 70mph winds swept
across the country.
Homes and shops in Plymouth and Cornwall have
been flooded and there are warnings of
further bad weather.
The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning
in England and Wales [...] |
The main light source of the future
will almost surely not be a bulb. It might be a table,
a wall, or even a fork.
An accidental discovery announced this week has
taken LED lighting to a new level, suggesting it
could soon offer a cheaper, longer-lasting alternative
to the traditional light bulb. The miniature breakthrough
adds to a growing trend that is likely to eventually
make Thomas Edison's bright invention obsolete. [...]
Michael Bowers, a graduate student at Vanderbilt University,
was just trying to make really small quantum dots,
which are crystals generally only a few nanometers
big. That's less than 1/1000th the width of a human
hair.
Quantum dots contain anywhere from 100 to 1,000 electrons.
They're easily excited bundles of energy, and the smaller
they are, the more excited they get. Each dot in Bower's
particular batch was exceptionally small, containing
only 33 or 34 pairs of atoms.
When you shine a light on quantum dots or apply electricity
to them, they react by producing their own light, normally
a bright, vibrant color. But when Bowers shined a laser
on his batch of dots, something unexpected happened.
"I was surprised when a white glow covered the
table," Bowers said. "The quantum dots were
supposed to emit blue light, but instead they were
giving off a beautiful white glow."
Then Bowers and another student got the idea to stir
the dots into polyurethane and coat a blue LED light
bulb with the mix. The lumpy bulb wasn't pretty, but
it produced white light similar to a regular light
bulb.
The new device gives off a warm, yellowish-white light
that shines twice as bright and lasts 50 times longer
than the standard 60 watt light bulb.

"Because We Say So!"
The
Gospel According to Anne [click
link to read original story]
The queen of the occult has been gone awhile. What's
Anne Rice been up to? Getting healthy, finding God - and writing
her most daring book yet.
Well it's gone and happened: Anne Rice fell off
the deep end in a spectacular come back
of bizarre star religious conversions, the so-called
queen of the occult [sic] has found
her lord and savior, fangless though he may be.
Now she's turned her eye towards penning popular christian
tripe, and I expect her plotless
endeavors will be filled with disassociated waxy characters
glorified in their inherent psychopathy.
Face it: the woman sucked. Have you actually read Interview
with the Vampire? When they made
the movie they had to pull out the big guns to make
it even palatable - I mean, you know a story
isn't worth telling when they need to call in Brad
Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Antonio Banderas to make it
work.
There is something, at least to me, discordant with
using religious figures in your fiction, mainly because
fiction isn't fiction. It's such an abstract concept.
When is something that isn't real, real? If we take
the maxim "Nothing that is unreal exists" then
fiction can be nothing more than a lie that is admittedly
so.
A lie is also not false, a lie is a perceived distortion
of objective reality.
To tell a lie is simply to distort
objective reality for another person or persons. Are
you following me? No matter.
By using an actual individual (so to speak) in a fictional
setting, you are in effect distorting people's
understanding and perception of that person.
The many fans of Anne Rice will read her new book "Christ
the Lord: Out of Egypt", and simply be incapable
of separating fact from fiction - a hidden purpose
in her decision?
I can see Archbishops cackling madly in the background.
Some scholars, like Burton Mack, discuss this fictionalizing
phenomenon in his book The Lost Gospel. You
may want
to read The
Lost Gospel book review for more information.
All of that is pretty inconsequential though. This
move of hers comes at a difficult point in my life.
I don't think Anne Rice has considered the effect that
her decision has had on people who love to hate her.
I feel definitely slighted that all that time and
effort I put into defacing images of her, writing suggestive
phrases complete with phone number on public bathroom
stalls, and Founding and Organizing the Anne Rice Anti-Fan
club, are now down the drains. Before it was a challenge
and an enjoyment to hate on Anne Rice; to do it now
would be like spraying PAM on a wheelchair ramp.
That's why I am going to sue Anne Rice, her Fans,
and the Roman Catholic Church for time lost, and damages
incurred by her religious re-conversion!
Sadly, I am sure Rice's motley faction of pseudo-bohemian
followers will help to ensure her latest foray with
a typewriter
will line the shelves of B&N as well as smaller
retailers the world over. If she goes so far as to
have it translated into
Aramaic, I am gonna spew!

On the fourth
anniversary of the September 11th attacks, Laura Knight-Jadczyk
announces the availability of her latest book:
In the years since the 9/11 attacks, dozens of books
have sought to explore the truth behind the official
version of events that day - yet to date, none of
these publications has provided a satisfactory answer
as to WHY the attacks occurred and who was ultimately
responsible for carrying them out.
Taking a broad, millennia-long perspective, Laura
Knight-Jadczyk's 9/11:
The Ultimate Truth uncovers the true nature of
the ruling elite on our planet and presents new and
ground-breaking insights into just how the 9/11 attacks
played out.
9/11: The Ultimate
Truth makes a strong case for the idea that September
11, 2001 marked the moment when our planet entered
the final phase of a diabolical plan that has been
many, many years in the making. It is a plan developed
and nurtured by successive generations of ruthless
individuals who relentlessly exploit the negative
aspects of basic human nature to entrap humanity as
a whole in endless wars and suffering in order to
keep us confused and distracted to the reality of
the man behind the curtain.
Drawing on historical and genealogical sources, Knight-Jadczyk
eloquently links the 9/11 event to the modern-day
Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She also cites the clear
evidence that our planet undergoes periodic natural
cataclysms, a cycle that has arguably brought humanity
to the brink of destruction in the present day.
For its no nonsense style in cutting to the core
of the issue and its sheer audacity in refusing to
be swayed or distracted by the morass of disinformation
that has been employed by the Powers that Be to cover
their tracks, 9/11:
The Ultimate Truth can rightly claim to be THE
definitive book on 9/11 - and what that fateful day's
true implications are for the future of mankind.

Scheduled for release in October
2005, readers can pre-order the book today at our bookstore. |
