Truthdig - Reports - Nader Was Right: Liberals Are Going Nowhere With Obama

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 03:21:30 -0700

`We owe Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney and the Green Party an apology. They were right. If a few million of us had had the temerity to stand behind our ideals rather than our illusions and the empty slogans peddled by the Obama campaign, we would have a platform.'

Revisiting Three-Strikes Laws (Criminal Justice - Change.org)

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 20:44:03 -0700

`The pendulum is swinging on mass incarceration, and the notorious and ineffective three-strikes laws could fall across the country in the months and years ahead. States are broke, and they're looking at their corrections budgets (see the absurd spending numbers in yesterday's post) and realizing that locking people up for life for smoking crack might not have been the best idea.

Prosecutors in Washington State are bringing clemency petitions for people who served a decade or more under three-strikes laws and have never committed a violent crime'

Homeless people die after bird flu vaccine trial in Poland - Telegraph

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 21:29:48 -0700

`The medical staff, from the northern town of Grudziadz, are being investigated over medical trials on as many as 350 homeless and poor people last year, which prosecutors say involved an untried vaccine to the highly-contagious virus. Authorities claim that the alleged victims received �1-2 to be tested with what they thought was a conventional flu vaccine but, according to investigators, was actually an anti bird-flu drug.'

`REAL FOOD CHANNEL: SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT DAIRY'

http://www.therealfoodchannel.com/page/29.html

Cancer Bovine leukemia virus is found in about 80% of the dairy herds in the USA http://www.steadyhealth.com/encyclopedia/Bovine_leukemia_virus ... or `9 out of 10'

findings of antibodies to BLV proteins, which are relatively common in a high percentage of people, also genomic sequences have been found in breast epithelial tissues derived from women with breast cancer

[ . . . ]

BLV belongs to a subfamily of exogenous retroviruses that includes the human retroviruses HTLV-1, HTLV-2 [T-cell leukemia and T-cell lymphoma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_T-lymphotropic_virus ] and the simian virus, STLV-1 (4). BLV and HTLV-1 are approximately 50% similar at the nucleotide level and share many common features in molecular organization and disease pathogenesis. For example, BLV and HTLV-1 are not produced in infected lymphocytes or tumor cells in vivo, but the production of virus is induced by short-term culture ex vivo, abnormal hematological findings occur in some but not all affected individuals, and tumors develop in a small fraction of infected animals. Transactivating viral gene products affect the expression of host cellular genes and other cellular genes may influence viral expression (3, 5).

BLV infection is chronic and results in persistent B cell lymphocytosis (PL) in 20-30% of infected cattle (6). PL has long been known to have a host genetic basis (7), which has been demonstrated to segregate within the BoLA complex (8, 9, 10). Lymphomas occur infrequently (<1%) among BLV-infected cattle, while high incidence herds have been identified suggesting that host genetic factors are also involved in tumor susceptibility (7). The development of tumors is invariably fatal, with death occurring usually within 3-6 months of clinical detection of infection.

EXCLUSIVE: Defense analyst in spy case was FBI double agent - Washington Times

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 02:39:16 -0700

`Larry Franklin, the former Pentagon analyst convicted of revealing classified information, says he worked undercover as an FBI double agent to gather information on the pro-Israel lobby in the United States before the bureau turned on him and pressured him to plead guilty to spying for Israel. '
