"We think of external microbes as our worst enemy during an outbreak of

The body may race so many antibodies to the infection site that they
collect in a cytokine storm. When the infection is in the lungs, for
example, a cytokine storm can potentially block airways and result in

The CIA plan is to control the minds of the musicians and then use the
musicians to control the minds of the populace.
The CIA uses drugs and Satanism when it mind-controls the stars.

Musings On Iraq Security Report Feb. 15-21, 2014
MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 1 day ago
The third week of February was the deadliest of the month. February 15-21,
2014 saw not only the most reported attacks, but the most casualties as
well. This was due to a combination of on going fighting in Anbar,
increased violence in Babil and Salahaddin, plus continued bombings in
Baghdad. While most of the focus has been on Anbar and the regular
explosions in the capital, the insurgents have been able to pick up their
operations in other provinces as well.
The third week of February was the worst of the month. The press reported a
total of 264 security incidents. That was mo... more »
When Will Ravitch Stop Enabling Weingarten's Corporate Addiction?
Jim Horn at Schools Matter - 1 day ago
From PsychCentral:
Enabling is a term often used in the context of a relationship with an
addict. It might be a drug addict or alcoholic, a gambler, or a compulsive
overeater. Enablers, rather than addicts, suffer the effects of the
addict’s behavior.
Enabling is “removing the natural consequences to the addict of his or her
behavior.” Professionals warn against enabling because evidence has shown
that an addict experiencing the damaging consequences of his addiction on
his life has the most powerful incentive to change. Often this is when the
addict “hits bottom” – a term commonl... more »

Since many of us have been flabbergasted and rendered speechless by a CIF

*“It's the BBC's rightwing bias that is the threat to democracy and
journalism” *I feel obliged to mention it here.
Owen Jones has many enthusiastic fans, who agree with him; at the time of
writing there are 1671 comments to prove it. Well, not every single one of
them is from a fan, but this is, after all, the Guardian.
A great deal of obfuscation has been caused by the general lack of any
robust definition of the terms left and right wing. Many participants in
the debate seem to be at ... more »
'Independent investigator' of Tex Hall is actually oil and gas lobbyist

The firm Dentons that the Three Affiliated Tribes hired to do an
"independent investigation" of Chairman Tex Hall and the alleged
oilfield corruption is actually a lobbyist for the Bakken oil and gas
industry. The push for the probe comes as a murder investigation
continues into one of Hall's business partners in the oil and gas
industry. A second partner is

They don't want you to know
Capt. Fogg at The Impolitic - 1 day ago
By Capt. Fogg
I'm probably repeating myself by warning you that a sales pitch insisting
that the item or idea or information you're selling is something someone
doesn't want you to have or to learn about is a marker for hokum and
perhaps outright fraud. Similar marketing techniques include warnings that
you must get this or read that or go to the website "before *they* ban it"
or that scientists, or historians or doctors or liberals are hiding the
real truth from you about things like magic beans or some dietary trick
that will block the effects of eating ten thousand calories a d... more »
TALKING TO OURSELVES: Jonathan Capehart, straight outta Crimea!
bob somerby at the daily howler - 1 day ago
*TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 2014*
*Part 2—Five panelists, one point of view:* In this morning’s New York
Times, Jochen Bittner describes the role which has always been played,
around the world, by the clan, the “race,” the tribe.
Bittner is a political editor for Die Zeit, a German weekly. In an opinion
column, he reports a conversation he recently had in Crimea with a
checkpoint guard, “a warlord from central casting,” who was “Serbian and a
member of the Chetniks, a nationalist paramilitary.”
As it turned out, this guard had a good sense of humor. According to
Bittner, here’s how the Che... more »
Breaking News: New Study Shows Glyphosate Residues In Animals & Humans
Stranger in a Strange Land at Stranger in a Strange Land - 1 day ago
BREAKING NEWS: NEW STUDY: Detection of Glyphosate Residues in Animals and
Humans. CHRONICALLY ILL HUMANS HAD SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER GLYPHOSATE RESIDUES
IN URINE THAN HEALTHY HUMANS. The presence of glyphosate residues in both
humans and anima...ls could haul the entire population towards numerous
health hazards. Presence of glyphosate in urine and its accumulation in
animal tissues is alarming even at low concentrations. Studying the impact
of glyphosate residues on health is warranted and the global regulations
for the use of glyphosate may have to be re-evaluated.

De Jaeger - no cross on character
James C Morton at Morton's Musings - 1 day ago
R. v. De Jaeger, 2014 NUCJ 07 is a very strong decision refusing a Crown
application to exam on prior criminal offenses. In giving its reasons the
court held:
An accused does not put his or her character into issue in circumstances
where he or she is tricked into doing so by inappropriate questions raised
by the Crown in cross-examination. See R v Beecham, (1921) 16 Cr App R 26
(CCA); R v Bricker, (1994) 90 CCC (3d) 268 at p.19 (ONCA), leave to appeal
to the SCC refused; R v Turpin, 2005 BCSC 490.

Harper's Mephistopheles
Owen Gray at Northern Reflections - 1 day ago
Politics has always been a nasty profession. But Stephen Harper has brought
a new viciousness to the way it is practiced in Canada. That viciousness, Michael
Harris writes, has been orchestrated by a merchant of venom -- Arthur
Finkelstein:
Three U.S. Republican presidents, countless senators and other right-wing
world leaders like Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu owe their
success to Arthur J. Finkelstein’s brilliance as a communications
mastermind.
Finkelstein bases his approach to politics on three axioms:
“Finkel-think” is an approach to new-age techno-politics ba... more »

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 day ago
Over the weekend, E.J. Dionne suggested in the *Washington Post* that Democratic
Party strategists are blowing the 2014 midterm cycle. "Listlessness is bad
politics. Defensiveness is poor strategy. And resignation is never
inspiring."
Obama and his party are in danger of allowing the Republicans to set the
terms of the 2014 elections, just as they did four years ago. The fog of
nasty and depressing advertising threatens to reduce the electorate to a
hard core of older, conservative voters eager to hand the president a
blistering defeat.
American politics has been shaken by two r... more »

*Fatness and health among diabetics*
The interpretation of weight among diabetics is greatly distorted by the
"war" on obesity. Because diabetes is a nasty condition, researchers are
determined to find that obesity causes diabetes, whereas the evidence is at
least as good the other way around: Diabetes causes obesity. That most
fatties don't have diabetes should be sufficient to ignite skepticism in
the matter.
The fact that diet can control diabetes does not show that gluttonly causes
diabetes. Just because I put bandaids on scratches, does that mean that
bandaids cause scrat... more »
