The first device was found at an MBTA subway and bus station located under Interstate 93 on Wednesday morning. The device was detonated and determined to be harmless, but as a precaution the station and the interstate shut down temporarily.

Fools, Ignignokt is not harmless! He may appear to be your friend, but you cannot trust him, for he is devious and is out to harm you…Using a key to gouge expletives on another’s vehicle is NOT a sign of trust and friendship, regardless of what he may claim.

Those in Boston are wise to fly into a hysteric panic! Ignignnokt and Err are a terrible sight to behold!

Seriously, the only crime was executed first by the fucking retards who called in those signs as bombs, and then by the officials who felt like fucking idiots for over-reacting to those fucking retards and are now trying to pass the buck before anyone sees the elephant in the room…

Former chief of the CIA’s Europe division, on pre-war intelligence:

 Drumheller: I had assured my German friends that it wouldn’t be in the speech. I really thought that I had put it to bed. I had warned the CIA deputy John McLaughlin that this case could be fabricated. The night before the speech, then CIA director George Tenet called me at home. I said: “Hey Boss, be careful with that German report. It’s supposed to be taken out. There are a lot of problems with that.” He said: “Yeah, yeah. Right. Dont worry about that.”

SPIEGEL: But it turned out to be the centerpiece in Powell’s presentation — and nobody had told him about the doubts.

Drumheller: I turned on the TV in my office, and there it was. So the first thing I thought, having worked in the government all my life, was that we probably gave Powell the wrong speech. We checked our files and found out that they had just ignored it.

SPIEGEL: So the White House just ignored the fact that the whole story might have been untrue?

Drumheller: The policy was set. The war in Iraq was coming and they were looking for intelligence to fit into the policy. Right before the war, I said to a very senior CIA officer: “You guys must have something else,” because you always think it’s the CIA. “There is some secret thing I don`t know.” He said: “No. But when we get to Baghdad, we are going to find warehouses full of stuff. Nobody is going to remember all of this.”

Yep.  The policy was set by the PNAC, the decision was made before 9/11, all we needed were a couple excuses, a couple pieces of ‘intelligence’ (like Obama being a Muslim extremist, intelligence like THAT), and a media and public which was still willing to cradle the administrations ballsack.  Well, not all of us, but some were very willing to believe whatever torrent of steaming shit was spewing out of the hell hole the White House has become during the Bush administration…

I love kicking a man when he is down…

I wonder what the story is behind the other two guys…where they are today and what they do in hotel rooms with gay prostitutes and home brewed amphetamines made out of pseudoephedrine, iodine crystals and red phosphorus…

McCain versus McCain…FIGHT!

That is some good shit right there, baby…

Almost let this one slip by…

Read about it last week on Reddit, then read it again somewhere else today and thought “Why didn’t I blog about that last time?”…

Dichloroacetate (DCA), as a cheap, safe and effective cancer fighting drug

It sounds almost too good to be true: a cheap and simple drug that kills almost all cancers by switching off their “immortality”. The drug, dichloroacetate (DCA), has already been used for years to treat rare metabolic disorders and so is known to be relatively safe.

It also has no patent, meaning it could be manufactured for a fraction of the cost of newly developed drugs.

DCA attacks a unique feature of cancer cells: the fact that they make their energy throughout the main body of the cell, rather than in distinct organelles called mitochondria. This process, called glycolysis, is inefficient and uses up vast amounts of sugar.

Until now it had been assumed that cancer cells used glycolysis because their mitochondria were irreparably damaged. However, Michelakis’s experiments prove this is not the case, because DCA reawakened the mitochondria in cancer cells. The cells then withered and died (Cancer Cell, DOI: 10.1016/j.ccr.2006.10.020).

Now if that isn’t amazing, fortuitous and inspiring, I don’t know what is. You would thing ONE major pharmaceutical company would RUN LIKE THE FUCKING WIND with this, if ONLY for the amazing ‘we aren’t just a money grubbing ultra-rich bunch of Corporate Cocksuckers™’ factor…when you are a fabulously affluent corporation, you sorta have that Corporate Cocksucker™ deeply ingrained I guess. Imagine if you could say ‘We decided this was the right thing to do, to lose a couple billion on making this drug as wide spread and as attainable as possible for the most people world wide: we WANT to fight cancer, simply because we can and simply because it is the right thing to do.’ Bill and Melinda Gates won’t be doing this, although we can always hope…I can hope some amazingly rich and profitable corporation or individual will let the heady rush of saviour take over and carry them into doing a Good Thing with their money…regardless of the potential for profits involved in this cancer treatement or that cancer treatement, shouldn’t those with the power and ability simply do a Good Thing because they can? Simply pricing a treatment which isn’t going to generate billions as a loss leader is a boon to humanity that builds good will and an image as a corporation who actually thinks of people as something other than a source of dollar bills…

In an effort to be fair and balanced, an interesting examination of the situaiton. If worst comes to worst and it is only mildly effective in, say, 50% of cancer cases, it is probably still an excellent new tool to add to chemotherapy. So, perhaps someone will patent this new and novel use, bring it to market, and end up charging $75 a dose…you know, ‘the usual’.
