Salt Restriction Increases Heart Disease Deaths and Hospitalizations

*** begin quote ***

Since graduating from medical school in 1989, I have come to the conclusion that much of what I was taught was wrong.  In fact, at my medical school graduation, the dean said, “Fifty percent of what we just taught you were wrong, your job is to figure out which part was correct and which was incorrect.” When medical students come to my office, I always encourage them to question everything I tell them and, furthermore, to question what they have been taught.

*** end quote ***

Wow, this does nothing to inspire confidence in “medicine”.

It wasn’t that way in injineering skrule!

And, add the Gooferment’s gigantic interference in the medical marketplace and my confidence drops even further.

So, I guess we do need IBM’s Watson to “help” doctors like the TV commercial says.

Argh!

John Ream said: ‘It was well known within high ranking intelligence circles that Miss Earhart, at the time of her disappearance, was involved in an intelligence-gathering operation… ordered at the request of the highest echelons of government.’

He added that there were ‘serious blunders by the Navy in their attempt to provide Miss Earhart with proper guidance, and they Navy was and is determined to conceal their participation in their part of the operation’.

On top of that, the search for the Electra was ‘illogical and botched’, suggesting the government may have known exactly where she was all along.

It’s one theory. Hope he’s correct.

TINFOILHAT: Operation Northwoods is an example

ON CONSPIRACY THEORIES
Posted on 18th December 2015

*** begin quote ***

Operation Northwoods

In 1962 the Department of Defense acting in cooperation with the Joint Chiefs of Staff submitted a paper detailing covert operation by either the CIA or other Government operatives to commit acts of terrorism against innocent American civilians, specifically to either hijack US commercial aircraft, shoot down commercial aircraft, attacks and kill US soldiers at Guantanamo or an attack on the Organization of American States with the intent of blaming the actions on Cuba in order to destabilize or overturn the government. These plans were signed and submitted by a host of top ranking US Military officials including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lyman Lemnitzer and submitted to the Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara who would later play a large role in the US war in Viet Nam.

None of the people involved in the research, planning, drafting or submission of this authorized government conspiracy was ever charged with a crime or held accountable. In fact the chief defense has always been that it was rejected by then President John F Kennedy, rendering further discussion null and void. Think about it for a moment and decide for yourself what the implications of such a plan mean for people who are, in the words of Cass Sunstein, spectacularly well informed, i.e conspiracy theorists. The government of the United States of America, using top secret clearance and taxpayer dollars actively plotted to murder innocent Americans in acts of terror in order to instigate a war on false grounds. To know this, according to the leading expert on conspiracy theories, makes us feel safer.

Incontrovertible proof that the government does in fact engage in criminal conspiracies that target innocent civilians in order to promote government sanctioned programs or military actions while it’s criminal participants escape justice has now been established as a fact, not a theory. Why this important piece of American history is unknown to most people is not puzzling, it is because it has been deliberately pushed off to the side, dismissed as irrelevant or pointless because it didn’t happen. Conspiracy theories do not require action, however, only the conspiracy.

*** end quote ***

Conspiracy Theorists are right to ask the questions.

Gooferment will NEVER voluntarily admit “the truth”.

Of course, all Conspiracy Theorists are just “crazy”. How could the benevolent Gooferment EVER do anything bad.

Should we start a list of what has been prover?

Just remember the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.

From there, one can believe a lot of things.

VETERANS: Women are too valuable to waste in the military

Women in the Military
By Walter E. Block
December 21, 2015

*** begin quote ***

There is another focus from which to view this new initiative of promoting female participation in the military other than the libertarian. This is the biological. Women are the limitation of population, and its growth. It is not for nothing that the farmer keeps 50 cows and one bull, rather than the reverse. If there were 50 bulls, 49 of them would be superfluous. If there were one cow, all the bulls in the world could not by one iota increase the size of the flock.  In other words, females, at the margin, are much more important for increasing the size of the human race. They are the precious limitation on population growth. Why is the latter to be preferred?  That is because in order to create another Mozart, or Mises, or Einstein, or Rothbard, or Salk, or Bach, or Gates, we need millions of new babies. The more of them the better. If we are ever to occupy the Moon and Mars and eventually colonize worlds in other solar systems, we shall need lots of human beings. But in order to accomplish this goal, women, not men, are required (always at the margin). Men are relatively speaking, good cannon fodder. Women are too important, again from this biological point of view, to be wasted in any such manner. In World War Two, the Russians and the Germans inflicted heavy blows on each other.  There were hardly any healthy men left standing afterwards of child-bearing age. Yet, after this conflagration, they were never missed, at least not in terms of population growth. Any woman who wanted to become pregnant, such is the human condition, had little or no difficulty achieving this goal. Imagine, instead, that this war had been fought only or mainly by females, with the males taking on the role of civilians (in those quaint times, non-combatants were less targeted than in the modern era). Then, there would have been hardly any healthy women left upright afterwards. What would have happened to the population in these two countries? To ask this is to answer it: there would have been virtually no new generation.

*** end quote ***

Bottom line: Bring all the girls and boys home now!

And, women are too valuable to waste in the military.

Barefoot and pregnant is NOT the message.

Keep them safe because without them there ain’t no human race.

If that makes me a “neanderthal”, then I guess I am.

Argh!

INTERESTING: 2010 case resolved

Monday, December 28, 2015

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/12/25/utah-police-says-remains-found-suspect-in-2010-park-ranger-shooting-that-set-off-manhunt.html?intcmp=hplnws

UTAH
Eagle Scout finds state park gunman’s remains in Utah cave 5 years later
Published December 25, 2015  Associated Press

*** begin quote ***

Shumway, a 23-year-old Utah Valley University student, told The Associated Press than he and his 15-year-old brother had decided to spend two weeks over winter break searching for Arellano — a mission their police officer father helped with five years earlier. An outstanding $30,000 reward for Arellano was part of the draw, Shumway said.

“For a poor college student, that’s pretty appealing,” he said.

Shumway added that resolving the case was a big thing for the Moab community. “There’s lots of closure that would come with finding this guy because no one really knew if he was dead or alive,” he explained.

Shumway, an Eagle Scout who grew up exploring caves and canyons in the area, said he was confident he could find Arellano’s body after studying the case and discussing the search area with his father.

*** end quote ***

I find this interesting.

One, the original “manhunt” was obviously useless.

Two, imagine dying alone in the back of a dark cave?

Three, how much other “reward money” is just waiting to be found?

Four, it all started from a “no camping zone” violation. Argh!

SOFTWARE: IOS “health app” can NOT accept BP

Sunday, December 27, 2015

I happened to click on the IOS IPHONE “HEALTH” app. Just out of curiosity. 

It can interface with other apps to record steps for example.

But you can’t input BP.

That seems to be a glaring oversight. And, something I would have used.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: While shooting Cecil was immoral; regulations are just dumb

Saturday, December 26, 2015

Obama administration enacts protections for lions
Published December 21, 2015  Associated Press

*** begin quote ***

WASHINGTON –  The Obama administration says it’s extending Endangered Species Act protections to two breeds of African lions.

The listings will be announced Monday and include an order that appears to touch on circumstances surrounding the killing of a well-known lion named Cecil earlier this year. 

*** end quote ***

Yeah, with all the problems that the USA has, this was important to do?

How does that improve the world?

Don’t get me wrong. I think shooting Cecil was immoral. If you’re going to go kill a lion to prove you’re a “man”, then do it like the Zulu “boys” have to do it — alone, with a short eighteen inch spear, and a small shield made of reeds. Then, you’re a man … … or lunch for the lion! Shooting the poor dumb thing — although lions are regarded amount the Zulu and Masai as cunning and smart — from 500 yards with a precision rifle is hardly an indication of manhood. I have read that these “hunters” don’t even carry their own rifles. Having humped awhile on practice hike in the military with a light scout rifle, toting a heaving big caliber hunting rifle around on a lion “hunt” would make for a early night. 

Argh!

But back to BHO44 and the Gooferment. It’s just dumb and a waste of ink.

Sigh!

INSPIRATIONAL: Ebenezer Scrooge — an architect of capitalism

Dining With Scrooge
By Gary North
December 25, 2014

*** begin quote ***

Specialization of production in 1843 was slowly extending its reign through voluntary exchange, releasing mankind from the tyranny of the weather. Excepting only the famine of the 1840s in Ireland, which began while Dickens was writing his story, the West would not again experience a famine. That long-dreaded horse of the apocalypse was put out to pasture.

The driving force of this revolution was specialization — specialization funded by capital, itself the product of thrift, by double-entry bookkeeping, and by attention to detail. In short, it was men like Ebenezer Scrooge who were the architects of capitalism.

In a heartless environment marked by scarcity, there must be careful attention to details, to ledgers, to costs of production. There must be alertness to profit opportunities, which are found where consumers demand to be served — demand through competitive bidding, one against the other. In short, there must be attention to business.

*** end quote ***

Another reason why Scrooge should be an positive icon and someone to be admired!

Argh!

POLITICAL: For all of The Donald’s flaws, he nailed the Middle East mess

Thursday, December 24, 2015

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2015/12/patrick-j-buchanan/america-first-world-war-iii/

America First — or World War III
By Patrick J. Buchanan
December 19, 2015

*** begin quote ***

Midway through the debate, Trump cut loose with a sweeping indictment of mindless American interventionism in the Middle East:

“We’ve spent $4 trillion trying to topple various people that, frankly, if they were there and if we could have spent that $4 trillion in the United States to fix our roads, our bridges, and all of the other problems — our airports and all the other problems we have — we would have been a lot better off. …

“We have done a tremendous disservice not only to the Middle East — we’ve done a tremendous disservice to humanity. The people that have been killed, the people that have been wiped away — and for what? It’s not like we had victory. It’s a mess. The Middle East is totally destabilized, a total and complete mess. I wish we had the 4 trillion dollars or 5 trillion dollars. I wish it were spent right here in the United States on schools, hospitals, roads, airports, and everything else that are all falling apart!”

*** end quote ***

For all of The Donald’s flaws, he nailed this one.

Other than Rand Paul, all the other candidates are like escapees from the insane asylum.

The politicians and bureaucrats have made a mess of the USA — in both foreign and domestic matters. When I rant that the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient, as well as untrustworthy, I think I understate the objection.

But I don’t know how you put the evil back in Pandora’s box.

First step has to elect a President who will step back from all the wars and the saber rattling.

Otherwise, we could all be “crispy critters” if an accident happens. 

I think I know a movie quote that sums it all up.

“This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.” — The Hunt for Red October (1990) by Admiral Josh Painter played by Fred Dalton Thompson.
