The Overlooked Cancer Cure From Japan

 Could A Cure Be This Easy?

Given that tumor cells utilize iron as a primary growth factor, cancer researchers are searching for a drug that would be able to attach to (chelate) iron molecules and remove them from the body, thus producing an effective anti-cancer drug. Researchers at Wake Forest University Health Sciences state that "iron chelators (pronounced key-lay-torz) may be of value as therapeutic agents in the treatment of cancer. They may act by depleting iron, a necessary nutrient, and limiting tumor growth." [Current Topics Medical Chemistry 4: 1623–35, 2004]

Oh Goody!!! We're Going To Go Camping!

 

Russian Intelligence Analysts are reporting today that final steps towards a full Military Dictatorship of the United States have been taken with the US Army announcing USARNORTH has now reached ‘full operational capacity’ and is now ready to:

“Execute homeland defense and defense support of civil authorities missions”, and “Conduct the Army-to-Army portion of the theater cooperation mission with Canada and Mexico”.

According to these reports, the first of the USANORTH plans for the total military takeover of the United States, from its few remaining civilian overseers, rest with a new series of draconian laws recently enacted by their top Military Leaders and which, among other things, suspends the right of habeas corpus for Americans, and which the American Military Leaders have ordered their courts to disallow, and as we can read as reported by the Washington Post News Service in their article titled "Court Told It Lacks Power in Detainee Cases", and which says:

Casualty list from the ammo dump explosion in Iraq. 

In re: Insurgent attacks on Forward Base Falcon on 10-11 October, 2006

Official Casualty List from U.S. military hospital at al-Habbaniyah located some 70km west of Baghdad. U.S. medical personnel at al-Habbaniyah initially stated that the US military hospital at the massive American-occupied air base there had begun to receive dead and wounded personnel. The military hospital in al-Habbaniyah, the largest in occupied Iraq, was opened on 12 May this year in response to sharply rising (and redacted) US casualties.

List compiled and effective as of 11 Oct 06 at 2300.

Why Bush's NSA Wire tapping is defeated by VoIP Networks - Google Video

A little long, but it will point out just how ridiculous the current administrations tactics are in fighting terrorism on the homefront....Unless...What their true motive is to collect information on U.S. citizens.

The videographer is Marc Perkel, the founder of the Church Of Reality. 

Bush claims he needs NSA wire tapping to break up terrorist networks but terrorists are not using the phone network Bush is tapping. They  are using private voice over IP Internet phones (VoIP) that can't be tapped. This video explains how it works.

The Ethics of Morality

 Preachin' to this choir.

This was a week after I listened to an NPR interview with Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania in which he made the claim that it is vital to settle this question of where “we” (meaning humans) came from because if evolution is true, then we would have no basis for morality.
     This is one of the most perverse false syllogisms I have ever heard, and it baffles me no end.  Underlying it is the assumption that morality only ever comes from a supernatural source, that without a deity we are too dumb, puerile, self-serving, and just plain hopeless to ever do anything right–for ourselves on anyone else. (The Erik Von Danniken theory of moral provenance.) That atheists are a priori immoral and that evolutionists, who reject special creation, are necessarily atheists, and therefore, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, likewise immoral.  They can’t help it.  They have no god giving them direction.

Taxes: Why yours are higher now than before

 Why can't people get their minds to wrap around this?

The Republican congress under Pres. Clinton raised taxes and erased the national debt. Six years ago, you owed nothing. Sure, you may have paid higher taxes for a while, but by doing so, you kept from paying interest on your interest, like many people do on credit cards.

The CFR replication experiment by Ronald Hohls

Cold fusion, Isn't this supposed to be impossible? 

My name is Ronald Hohls, I am a high school student residing in South Africa. Upon searching for a possible topic for my science expo project, I came across your cold fusion website and immediately became fascinated. My realisation of the implications of the success of such a hypothesis and the fact that I plan to one day enter the field of nuclear physics, inspired me to replicate the experiments.
Following your prescribed methodology, I achieved highly successful results indicating that excess anomalous heat is in fact generated, explainable only by the hypothesis of nuclear reactions. On one particular occasion, I achieved 9 times the input energy!

SKorean scientists say cancer-killing virus developed

Cross your fingers 

The new therapy developed by the team from Yonsei University uses a genetically-engineered form of the adenovirus, which normally causes colds.

The adenovirus was implanted with a human gene that is related to the production of relaxin, a hormone associated with pregnancy.

When injected into cancerous tumors, the virus quickly multiplies in the cancer cells and kills them, the team said.

The new adenovirus can target only cancer cells and does not harm normal cells, the team said.

Existing viral treatments fail to kill off all the cancerous cells.

"I believe we have found a way to overcome one of the great obstacles to finding a genetically altered viral cure for cancer," Yun Chae-Ok, one of the researchers, told AFP on Thursday.

Following three rounds of injections, more than 90 percent of cancer cells in the brains, liver, lungs and womb of mice disappeared within 60 days, the team said.

THERE MAY BE HOPE!!!!!!

 The Military Commissions Act may not be law afterall.

From the U.S. Constitution Article 1, Section 7: Clause 2 "...If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law. "
According to the caller, it appears as if though his opinion was that the congress did adjourn 10 days before the president signed the bill. Meaning the Military Commissions Act would not be law, and Habeas Corpus is alive and well.

How To Spot a Dictator

 Burn this into your memory and never forget it!

Useful

Dictators often claim special authorization from higher powers.

Dictators have fetishes for certain objects like rugs.

Dictators like extravagant ceremonies.

Dictators like to work in secrecy.

Dictators like to promote themselves.

Dictators are not known for their tact. Bush isn’t gonna let Osama use the insanity clause. On that count, Osama may be more generous with Bush.

Dictators travel with large entourages to protect them.

Often, graven images are made of Dictators.

So far so good! Bush is right up there!

Tastes Like Chicken To Me.

Cat tastes mammalian. In essence, it tastes like tetrapod.

The field of culinary evolution faces one great dilemma: why do most cooked, exotic meats taste like cooked Gallus gallus, the domestic chicken?

It is curious that so many animals have a similar taste. Did each species evolve this trait independently or did they all inherit it from a common ancestor? That is the burning question.

Bush Family–98,842 acres and a Mule

I started this Blog with every intention of posting only interesting and useful links. I had no intention of it becoming a repository of my Political and Constitutional frustrations, but things like this just won't go away.

I will include a few other links without intros to further document this story. 

Does Bush plan on being charged with something in the future? Does Bush foresee a collapse of the United States and feels a strong need to have a place to cut and run to, or does Bush just need a nice secret little place other than Gitmo where he can send people he doesn’t like?

Moyers on America . The Net @ Risk | PBS

They just keep chipping away.

This is a 'Must Watch' program, especially with Bill Moyers. 

"The genius of the Internet was that it made the First Amendment a living document again for millions of Americans," says Robert McChesney, a media scholar and activist and co-author of OUR MEDIA, NOT THEIRS. "The decisions that we're going be making ... are probably going to set our entire communication system, and, really, our entire society, on a course that it won't be able to change for generations."

How to inflate balloons

 

Like exercise, I'd also recommend lots of short efforts. If you can't inflate a balloon at all, working on it for more than five minutes won't help anything. Just work at it for a minute or two, and then put it away for a few hours. Once you have the strength to do it occasionally, start working on building up your reps. Once you can do a modest number of reps, then do something a little tougher and work your way up gradually. As with exercise, you need both the strength to inflate, and the stamina to do it on demand repeatedly.

How should I practice? A couple of balloons a day? My first try is usually the best, and I get worse after that. Do a few a day. Most importantly, stop when you start to feel pain. If you're that determined, you'll get it. This is probably the hardest thing about ballooning.

Are Muslims Enemies of Peace?

Out of the total number of around 160 million dead, more than 135 million have been killed in or by countries that are now the five big powers of the world, namely China, the US, the UK, France and Russia. The killings by or in Muslim countries form a very small percentage of the total killings, despite the fact that Muslims form about one fifth of the world population.

Both independent analysts and officials within Iraq's Oil Ministry anticipate that when all is said and done, the big winners in Iraq will be the Big Four -- the American firms Exxon-Mobile and Chevron, the British BP-Amoco and Royal Dutch-Shell -- that dominate the world oil market. Ibrahim Mohammed, an industry consultant with close contacts in the Iraqi Oil Ministry, told the Associated Press that there's a universal belief among ministry staff that the major U.S. companies will win the lion's share of contracts. "The feeling is that the new government is going to be influenced by the United States," he said.

What is eBay addiction, compulsive online gambling, and other types of Internet addiction?

I'm going to need a little more information before I buy into this. 

The study, Glued to the Screen: An investigation into information addiction worldwide, shows that we are witnessing the rise of a new generation of ‘dataholics’. Based on a survey of 1,000 people in the UK, US, Ireland, Germany, Singapore and Hong Kong, the survey shows that over half of respondents 'crave' information, while almost 50% claim that if information was a recognized drug, they would know people who would be considered as addicted.

Why Is Bush Waiting On Military Commissions Act?

I really wanted to make my first 'official' post something light or humorous, but it looks like it won't be so.

October 17th, 2006 is the day I've been hearing and reading about as the day President Bush would be signing the Military Commissions Act. This is the bill that he and his minions rammed through the House and Senate a few weeks back, most will remember it as the 'torture bill'. The administration needed it post-haste and therefore there would not be enough time to dissect it's true nature. That was a few weeks ago, and still it hasn't been signed. I've been assuming to myself that the reason for this delay was the casual and deliberate signing statements that have become the administrations new 'favorite toy', but the story linked to below might be more accurate. It's an easy read and has several more examples then the few I included below of the way the Bill of Rights will be interpreted from this point on unless something or someone stops the signing.

A hint as to why they may be waiting to sign, Their hoping and praying for their "Major Event", in which case they'll have no choice but to restrict our rights further in order to keep us safe and secure to buy oil and consume more in an effort to pacify our ever increasing miserable, frightened lives.

 

- The definition of torture that the legislation cites is US code title 18 section 2340. This is a broad definition of torture and completely lacks the specific clarity of the Geneva Conventions. This definition allows the use of torture that is, "incidental to lawful sanctions." In alliance with the bill's blanket authority for President Bush to define the Geneva Conventions as he sees fit, this legislates the use of torture.

- Destruction of any property is defined as terrorism, which is deemed punishable by any means of the military tribunal's choosing.

- Any violent activity whatsoever is defined as terrorism if it takes place near a designated protected building, such as a charity building.

- A change of the definition of "pillaging" turns all illegal occupation of property and all theft into terrorism. This makes squatters and petty thieves enemy combatants.
