		<description>Dear Liam,

Did you happen to see this recent news story:

&quot;Popular Antibiotic May Raise Risk of Sudden Death&quot; (NYTimes.com Published May 16, 2012)??? 

I found it very interesting in regards to the chemical azido/azide (N3) group contained in Azithromycin, and the known correlation with mitochondrial toxicity, as previously elucidated by Dr. Heinrich kremer and others.  Below is a blog post I wrote in response to the subject:

Popular Antibiotic May Raise Risk of Sudden Death
NYTimes.com
Published: May 16, 2012 

 “A new study finds that a widely used antibiotic, azithromycin, may increase the likelihood of sudden death in adults, especially those who have heart disease or are at high risk for it.”

Response: Chemically, &quot;Z-Pack&quot; or Azithromycin, is an antibiotic in the azide group, a chemical compound that contains the group N3, derived from hydrazoic acid (HN3, nitrogen mustard gas!), containing the azido group combined with an element or radical.  Hydrazoic acid is extremely volatile and highly toxic.  The compound acts as a non-cumulative poison.  The azido group blocks oxygen-dependent cell respiration in the mitochondria.  The azide group is a known inhibitor of cytochrome c oxidase (or Complex IV) of the respiratory electron-transfer chain.  Azide inhibits cytochrome oxidase by binding irreversibly to the heme cofactor in a process similar to the action of carbon monoxide.  Cyanide, sulfide, azide, and carbon monoxide all bind to cytochrome c oxidase, thus competitively inhibiting the protein from functioning, which results in chemical asphyxiation of cells.  Sodium azide, used for the preparation of azide compounds, is acutely toxic, particularly affecting organs that undergo high rates of respiration, such as the heart and the brain.  The mitochondria, our biological energy power plants, are found in every cell of the body, but heavily concentrated in the highly energetic heart.  These aza (from Greek azote = nitrogen), azido, azide (containing the ?N3 group and derived from hydrazoic acid, HN3), nitrogen action profile substances are highly toxic to cellular mitochondria, whose crucial energy production is essential to life.

		<description>Liam Scheff... You rock, man. 

That said, I must also state that, whether we understand it or not yet, we ARE connected. Like the stars. For all we know, the whole universe, all that is in it, is actually the same stuff! 

I think that all we are is positive charge and negative charge, in varying forms because of energy fluctuations in each discrete conglomeration of particles. We have our DNA to interact with protons and electrons. So we look different from trees. But it is not all as random as we think it is.

Stars, to begin with, may be connected to each other by electric dipoles, fixed in their positions and not coming any closer to each other.</description>

		<description>To definitively confirm them, the WISE team used some of the most powerful telescopes and spectrometers on Earth to split apart the objects&#039; light and look for telltale molecular signatures of water, methane and possibly ammonia. 

Are water, methane and possibly ammonia...properties of plasma?   Would their absence or presence contribute to the plasma-universe theory?

Also, on the topic of binary-stars... Do you notice a similarity to growth in the plasma universe to cell division and biology?  And would we be better off looking to biology to get a better understanding of how we might expect growth in the plasma-universe to function?  

Additionally, when I took an Astronomy course last Summer, we did an entire chapter about how the moon was created.  The theory went that the moon came directly from the earth as though it were pulled off, or ejected.  Recently I read an article that seemed to destroy that theory, again showing how scientists make these models, then rely on them, and then base new science off those models, only to find that their original theory was totally wrong.  So you&#039;d think all their later theories would be wrong to.  But the point was that even scientists seemed to be suggesting that planets, or at least moons, came directly from other objects too, and not just nebulae.  I think the more often we see mainstream science alluding to plasma-oriented universe explanations, the more credibility plasma will enjoy.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s all about the brown dwarfs, baby...

How can a star be 80?farenheit? Because it&#039;s heated from the Outside....


http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2011/23aug_coldeststars/



&quot;Discovered: Stars as Cool as the Human Body

August 24, 2011: Scientists using data from NASA&#039;s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) have discovered six &quot;Y dwarfs&quot;-- star-like bodies with temperatures as cool as the human body.


This artist&#039;s conception illustrates what a &quot;Y dwarf&quot; might look like. Y dwarfs are the coldest star-like bodies known, with temperatures that can be even cooler than the human body. [more]

Astronomers hunted these dark orbs for more than a decade without success. When viewed with a visible-light telescope, they are nearly impossible to see. WISE&#039;s infrared vision allowed the telescope to finally spot the faint glow of a half dozen Y dwarfs relatively close to our sun, within a distance of about 40 light-years.

&quot;WISE scanned the entire sky for these and other objects, and was able to spot their feeble light with its highly sensitive infrared vision,&quot; says Jon Morse, Astrophysics Division director at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

The Y&#039;s are the coldest members of the brown dwarf family. Brown dwarfs are sometimes referred to as &quot;failed&quot; stars. They are too low in mass to fuse atoms at their cores and thus don&#039;t burn with the fires that keep stars like our sun shining steadily for billions of years. Instead, these objects cool and fade with time, until what little light they do emit is at infrared wavelengths. The atmospheres of brown dwarfs are similar to those of gas giant planets like Jupiter, but they are easier to observe because they are alone in space, away from the blinding light of a parent star.

So far, WISE data have revealed 100 new brown dwarfs.  Of these, six are classified as cool Y&#039;s. One of the Y dwarfs, called WISE 1828+2650, is the record holder for the coldest brown dwarf with an estimated atmospheric temperature cooler than room temperature, or less than 80 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius).:</description>

They just need a few billion dollars more...maybe five hundred billion tops!...and then they will have a replacement for dark matter.  It will be invisible... you won&#039;t be able to see it, detect it or even study it, and you will have to trust them it is really there... and that it explains everything... Oh, and sorry they didn&#039;t find the Higg&#039;s-Boson... but this time they will get it right! 

And if you act now, for just twice the cost they will find the replacement for Higgs-Boson AND Dark Matter... but you must act now, operators are standing by to take your donations.  Tithe now!</description>

		<description>Why is it humans cannot simply abide the truth of the matter, the crux of a thing and plunge on in idiocy? Religion refuses to bow to facts and even tries to change the facts. What good does that do in the long run?

The core problem most do not or cannot change is their revenue streams demand they do not...and their souls are twisted accordingly.

William Shakespere was a pawn, and we remain fooled. Oxford (DeVere) was that smart. Why not? Look what he wrote and wrought.</description>

Yesterday, I saw this screwing article read it, and I felt like spreading some news on it…
I forwarded the link to RT news, because I know they may be the only media possible to
broadcast such news, given that, only RT gave Peter Duesberg, Christian Fiala and others, some time on TV to say what they know about HIV/AIDS….
But don’t forget, this HIV/AIDS subject is still a Taboo, and majority avoid  
discussion (for what? I don’t know) it will take many daring being like you, to break this myth, 

Thank you, Thank you

		<description>Now I have two reasons to vote.  One for Paul, one for you.  

Will you also work to find out how many of the conspiracies we&#039;ve heard about in the last 250 years are true and which are not?  I really want to know who killed Kennedy just so I can go on to other things.

Also, if you could find out just how much gold has been mined over the course of human history, I&#039;d appreciate it. I just can&#039;t buy into the idea that billions of people over thousands of years, who considered this metal to be money, only managed to dig up five billion ounces.  I think there is far more of it, and I think the &quot;scarcity&quot; is to make fiat currency more attractive.  Much like diamonds.  It&#039;s not like there is really a lack of diamonds.  It is carbon for crying out loud!  It&#039;d be like looking for dirt.  

So while you are putting the Fed out of business and auditing Fort Knox, maybe find out where all the gold mined in human history went?  And how much of it exists.  And I will donate to your campaign just so I can ask for other favors later on down the road.  Or by change, did you really mean change?  Surely you won&#039;t change the cronyism now, will you?</description>

		<description>I was reading a piece recently about what will cause the extinction of humanity, if such a thing is ever going to come to pass, and aside from the maybe&#039;s and what if&#039;s of asteroids and heat death and whatnot, man-made events were the ones I considered most likely.  

When seeing this post, I decided I would write about a few of my observations; endless war by mankind through the ages, nonstop from ancient times to the present, the creation and use of WMD&#039;s, the morality and superiority of super powers and how all weapons, that work, are always put to use.

I want to begin by addressing the use of WMD&#039;s.  One thing I came to realize is that all viable weapons developed have always been used.  Many weapons are considered, even theorized, but the ones that are crafted and actually work are always used.  I can think of no exceptions.  

Going back to ancient times, biological warfare actually existed.  Ancient armies would use the corpses of slain enemies, rotting flesh, diseased flesh, and hurl it over walls onto enemy towns.  Today we still develop and test biological warfare agents including botulism, ebola, various flu strains, anthrax and so on.  And pretty much all have been used in what we like to call &quot;modern times&quot;.  

Now consider super powers. The United States is argued to be the sole super power today, but in reality, any nation state that can act with impunity could be considered a super power.  Today that would include the five veto-wielding powers of the United Nations Security Council.  Prior to WWII the British Empire, French Empire, Spanish Empire, Portuguese Empire, Dutch Empire going all the way back through time to the Romans, Persians, Greeks, Egyptians... There have been many super powers and one thing they all seemed to have in common was that they considered themselves to be morally superior to others, and justified every barbaric act they committed because they were superior...and unchallenged.  They made laws and rules for everyone, but they always reserved the right unto themselves to break these rules and laws whenever it was convenient to do so, and again, justified it on moral grounds because they were superior.

So let&#039;s talk about our very own United States.  The morally, ethically, wonderful democracy that claims to be the beacon of light and hope for all mankind.  The &quot;good&quot; in the good versus evil struggle.

Since its inception in 1776, the United States has used biological warfare against the Native American tribes through the use of diseased blankets they handed out.  And they justified it at the time, and did it knowing there would be no repercussions, an act morally justified to rid the land of a lesser people.

The United States took part in the Opium Wars against China to force that nation to allow opium to sold to the Chinese populace.  Morally justified on the grounds that business is good and closed-off nations are not.  The same would later be done, sans the opium, to Japan, who were forced through bombardment to open their ports to trade.  

We could add all the atrocities committed by the various other empires of the times, including the British and their British East India Company, the Spanish and others who slaughtered millions in their conquests, all justified as moral and ethical as these were lesser peoples whose cultures were simple too backwards and not as superior as the super powers.  

Bringing back the use of all viable weapons, including WMD&#039;s through history, keep in mind that the nations that research and use such weapons tend to be the super powers that have the means to develop them, either for use in current wars, or for future, planned wars.  Let&#039;s just go with the 20th and 21st centuries.  112 years of virtually endless warfare, nearly all of which were instigated, directed or supplied by the major super powers.

WWI saw the development of mustard gas, a WMD chemical warfare agent.  It was viable, so it was immediately put to use.  The airplane was viable and it was immediately put to use. Battleships were constructed in ever-increases sizes and destructive power and all were put to use.  The Spanish Flu came about as a result of WWI, and the United States intentionally located dead bodies after the decimation this virus caused with the intent to weaponize it.  There are credible reports that suggest the flu virus has been deliberately released at least twice, in 1976 and recently about three years ago, so as to sell vaccines already being developed to cure the very flu strains that would be released.  The aircraft carrier and submarine were perfected making them viable, and both were used immediately.  

In between the wars, all of the major powers were researching and developing more powerful arms at such alarming rates that multiple treaties were signed to try and reduce the numbers in order to prevent both an arms race and a second, greater war.  All were violated as every single nation vied to gain an edge, thus all of the super power nations were intent on going to war again.  Despite the Great Depression, money for weapons was never truly in short supply.  Mankind has never been able to stop warring with itself and I believe it never will.

WWII came about and we all know the end result were two WMD&#039;s, freshly built, barely tested, but tested enough to know they worked, and both were dropped on heavily populated cities in Japan.  The United States, at that very time trying to organize the United Nations, an international body we were told was being created to put an end to acts of aggression, preemptive war and bring about peace, was secretly building these weapons with every intent on using them.  However, Japan was against the ropes, their military in ruins and the war was essentially over and everyone knew it.  But the United States, superior in morality and ethics to all, justified its use by deciding that the Japanese were blood-thirsty people, thus inferior to the peace-loving United States, and only by dropping two bombs would they possibly surrender.  

During the war, other means of mass killing were invented including fire-bombing cities, such as Dresden where the effects of the bombardment caused nearly as much destruction as Nagasaki, and some estimates had put the death toll as even greater.  Though many argued about the ethics of such an attack, it was officially justified.  After all, everyone knows the Nazis were blood-thirsty people too and deserved it, thus it was perfectly acceptable for a super power to do so, even when Germany, in February 1945, was already beaten, just as Japan had been prior to the atomic bombings.

After WWII, research to develop even more powerful version of the atomic bomb came about with hydrogen bombs, neutron bombs and even research into anti-matter having taken place.  It is worth noting that even though anti-matter could theoretically destroy the world, it has been research anyway.  Additionally, prior to the first atomic bomb test at &quot;Trinity&quot; in 1945, there was some fear, even if scientifically unjustified, that the detonation could destroy the earth. But the suggestion it might destroy New Mexico did have some limited potential of being true.  The point being, they didn&#039;t know for sure, but that didn&#039;t stop them.  Also, in the 80&#039;s there was talk that Israel, a known nuclear power, constructed cobalt-laced nuclear warheads they intended to detonate in the upper atmosphere to blanket the earth with intense fallout were Israel ever to face extinction and wipe out the rest of humanity.  And both the United States and Russia have purportedly considered placing multi-hundred megaton warheads miles beneath the earths surface with research suggesting this might split the earth or cause enough damage to destroy mankind as well. So at least three nations, all super powers that act with impunity and consider themselves to be morally superior to others, have considered methods to destroy all humanity and bring about our extinction in the event they were to face extinction.

Today the United States has employed depleted uranium weapons in at least a dozen wars since the 1970&#039;s.  It is widely believed that these weapons may be causing widespread genetic damage to large swaths of humanity where they were used and this has been assumed to be the case since Desert Storm in 1991.  Thus, knowingly, the morally superior United States has used these weapons of mass destruction, as has Israel, the UK and France, against peoples considered inferior due to their religious beliefs and morally inferior societies.  

During the Bush administration, long after the Cold War had ended and we were all supposed to be living in a much safer world, free from nuclear war between the two stockpiling super powers... smaller nukes were being designed and built that could actually be used.  The idea was that if they were small enough, their use would be more acceptable.  Not for lesser nations and peoples who are morally and ethically inferior to the United States to use, but for the United States to reserve the right, when it sees the need, to use against others.  Weather it will be used for &quot;bunker busting&quot; in Iran or North Korea, or simply to wipe out &quot;The evil doers&quot; who are inferior, we will be told it is justified on moral grounds.

The United Nations did not stop wars from happening.  That much is certain.  But what it clearly demonstrates is what I am discussing here.  That super powers reserve the right for themselves, to wage war, and justify it in all manner as being ethical and moral.  The last surviving empires of the colonial era and the modern super powers of post World War II, along with China, have decided that only they can wage war now.  For everyone else it is a crime.  And they continue to be the largest arms suppliers, wage all the wars or take part in them by supplying one or both sides, often choosing and then telling us which side is good and which side is evil, and telling us who gets to live and who must killed so we can live in peace.  

There will be no end to wars.  Super powers will continue, as they have throughout all of history, to develop new weapons for killing that they alone reserve the right to use.  The only thing that has changed is that the weapons are getting more and more powerful and easier to deliver to any point on the globe and we already possess enough to kill off humanity and bring us to extinction.  And we continue to look for the ultimate weapons, weapons that can do just that.  

During the Cold War, great effort was expended looking for the one way in which a side could possibly wipe out the other before the other could respond... or be unable to respond in such fashion as to wipe out the aggressor.  If only the could have found it...  At first the hope was for one sneaky attack that would wipe the other out completely.  But then we heard the term &quot;acceptable losses&quot;.  Our own governments considered that at least some percentage of our own people were expendable if somehow there could be a reasonable victory.  A victory that would likely include wiping out a massive percentage of humanity.  Knowing such a war might bring about a &quot;nuclear winter&quot;.  And yet they planned for it.  And as far as we know, they continue to plan for it.  Missile Shields in Europe.  Why build those AFTER the Cold War, unless the plans are still in place for that hoped-for victory?  And Russia shrugged and went to the drawing boards to redesign their own arsenals to be able to thwart the missile shield.  So in a sense, the Cold War didn&#039;t end, and plans for global thermonuclear warfare continue.  Thus they are still considering a war they know has the potential to wipe out our entire species.  They just haven&#039;t figured out how to only wipe out the evil side and allow the morally, and ethically superior side to win.

So yes, I think humanity is fully capable of bringing our species to extinction.  And when it happens, it will have been justified on moral grounds.  It might be the largest &quot;export of democracy&quot; in history.</description>

		<description>Dear Liam,

Following your post announcing your candidacy for the office of VPOTUS, I am writing to ask you two simple questions.

1. While many of the policies in your list are ostensibly designed to promote freedom, do you not think that ‘collecting’ taxes (read: stealing) – even on sales transactions – is morally incompatible with freedom?

2. Secondly, even if your ultimate consequential goal is to see people freer and happier, do you not think it morally and consequentially preferable to do this by means of voluntary cooperation rather than by the decisions of heteronomous and authoritarian institutions such as governments? (leaving aside the fact that the office of VPOTUS does not itself carry much authority, you would nevertheless be a part of a government which would have to violate the sovereignty of individuals to carry out any of its actions) When referencing all of the changes you speak of making, you (rightly) present them as being your actions. e.g. “I will legalise prostitution”. While I am all for freedom, including the repealing of ‘sex laws’, what gives your the moral authority to action such changes? (N.B. if you received 100% of a vote, I would accept that as moral authority, but then the concept of government would become irrelevant and you would merely be an organiser).

I hope you will see that Question 2, despite the apparent sub-questions, is still really one question, and I look forward to hearing your answers.

Yours faithfully,

Benett Freeman</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Liam,</p>
<p>Following your post announcing your candidacy for the office of VPOTUS, I am writing to ask you two simple questions.</p>
<p>1. While many of the policies in your list are ostensibly designed to promote freedom, do you not think that ‘collecting’ taxes (read: stealing) – even on sales transactions – is morally incompatible with freedom?</p>
<p>2. Secondly, even if your ultimate consequential goal is to see people freer and happier, do you not think it morally and consequentially preferable to do this by means of voluntary cooperation rather than by the decisions of heteronomous and authoritarian institutions such as governments? (leaving aside the fact that the office of VPOTUS does not itself carry much authority, you would nevertheless be a part of a government which would have to violate the sovereignty of individuals to carry out any of its actions) When referencing all of the changes you speak of making, you (rightly) present them as being your actions. e.g. “I will legalise prostitution”.

		<description>I am becoming quite worried about the increasing trend of criminalizing everything in the United States and around the world. While many laws are necessary, life is becoming so regulated that almost everything humans do is becoming illegal. 
 
Americans like to say they love freedom, but there are few freedoms left in the US. The government is tightening the noose to strangle Americans with ever-increasing nanny state laws so much that the US is starting to look like North Korea. 
 
Most of the following actions have been outlawed just in my lifetime:
 
Fast food restaurants have been banned.
 
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/16/us/16fastfood.html
 
Feeding homeless people has become a crime.

<p>Most of the following actions have been outlawed just in my lifetime:</p>
<p>Fast food restaurants have been banned.</p>

<p>Enough is enough. America doesn&#8217;t sound so free if everything is illegal. If you care about your liberty, write your elected officials. Governments would love to take away all your freedom if they could. Our freedoms are diminishing, not growing. Stand up, fight for your rights, and protect our freedom now!</p>

		<description>Good thing 8 legs are in similitude of the real number of tentacles, otherwise there&#039;d be no room on the page for Spiderman. Gramsci would be proud of the way banksters infect everything. Americans need to deploy their own multi-generational tactics to influence their communities to hold fast to right things instead of the quick and convenient.</description>

		<description>Florida statute 384.31 requires that all healthcare providers &quot;attending a pregnant woman for conditions relating to pregnancy during the period of gestation and delivery shall cause the woman to be tested for sexually transmissible diseases, including hiv, as specified by department rule.&quot;  A woman has the right to refusal, and must sign specific forms provided by the Florida Health Department. This is what I would call &quot;defacto&quot; mandatory testing. Years ago I refused a mammogram at a ob/gyn&#039;s office visit.  I spent 30 minutes being grilled by various members of that office, and finally getting &quot;permission&quot; to refuse the mammogram by the physician himself. I can imagine that a pregnant woman who refuses testing for &quot;sexually transmitted&quot; diseases (the refusal encompasses hiv as well as various STD&#039;s, and you can refuse one or all of the diseases listed) will have to undergo alot more than I did for a simple refusal of a mammogram.</description>
