Dementia Drugs Ineffective at Slowing Mental Decline

Posted on by

“Cognitive enhancement drugs only have short-term benefits and can cause significant side-effects for people with mild memory problems, according to researchers.  In a new review of existing data, researchers at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, Canada studied eight randomized clinical trials and three companion reports on the efficacy of four drugs in people with mild cognitive impairment. The drugs were donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), galantamine (Razadyne), and memantine (Namenda). They found that while the drugs do have short-term benefits, they are lost after a year and a half of treatment.”

Kevin Trudeau jailed for not paying $38 million to feds over natural remedies

Posted on by

“The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has been after 50-year-old Trudeau, originally from Massachusetts, for several years after he made millions flogging what he claims are natural cures for serious and potentially fatal illnesses.  The ruling at the end of last month was the latest round in more than a decade of legal battles that began with a suit filed by the Federal Trade Commission.  Trudeau was slapped with a $38 million fine in 2011 after allegedly scamming customers for decades. FTC put the value at $37.6million as to how much consumers were defrauded by ‘deceptive infomercials’ that Trudeau filmed in order to plug his book – The Weight Loss Cure ‘They’ Don’t Want You to Know About.”

A Government Database about our Sex Lives: Gee, What Could Go Wrong?

Posted on by

“I don’t like the idea of government bureaucrats having my private information, but what’s probably most worrisome about this Obama Administration scheme is that the data won’t be confidential.  As McCaughey writes, it’s just a matter of time before hackers or incompetent bureaucrats make that information public.  By the way, everything written by McCaughey and Hatch also helps to explain why we should resist privacy-destroying schemes such as the Internet sales tax cartel being pushed by greedy politicians. I know I wouldn’t want all my online purchases in a database where state and local bureaucrats would be able to snoop for details.”

Woman sues US Airways for losing her husband’s ashes after TSA mishap

Posted on by

“Initially, Mrs O’Grady planned to take the urn on board with her, but was stopped by TSA agents who told her she wasn’t allowed to bring the cardboard box containing his urn through security because ‘it’s contents were not a solid substance’.  So she went back to the airline’s front desk and put the box in her checked luggage.  Because of that delay she nearly missed her flight as well.  By the time she got to the gate, she was too late and the airline had already given up her seat.  Mrs O’Grady had to buy a $500 first-class ticket just to stay on the same flight. But the real shocker happened after she arrived at her sister-in-law’s house in Hull. She opened the bag and the box of ashes was gone.”

French mother jailed for sending son to school in ‘I am a bomb’ shirt

Posted on by

“A French mother who sent her three-year-old son to school in a T-shirt reading ‘I am a bomb’ and ‘Jihad, born on September 11’ was given a suspended prison term Friday for defending crime.  Bouchra Bagour said she had simply wanted to mark the birthday of her son — who is named Jihad and was born on September 11 — and had not intended any connection with the 9/11 attacks in the United States in 2001.  On Friday, an appeal court in the southern city of Nimes fined Bagour 2,000 euros ($2,700) and giving her a suspended one-month jail term.  Her brother Zeyad, who gave his nephew the T-shirt, was fined 4,000 euros and given a two-month suspended prison sentence.”

Paul Craig Roberts: Pakistani National TV Reveals Osama Killing Hoax

Posted on by

“Who can believe that the ‘terror mastermind,’ the head of what is said to be the most dangerous terrorist organization in the world, would be left alone, unguarded and unarmed, with only two women to protect him? Who can believe that such a defenseless person with such essential information for Washington’s war on terror would simply be shot on sight by US Navy SEALs? Why would Washington waste such an archive of information?  Why would Washington forego the triumph of parading their captive before the world and confronting him in a courtroom with his crimes?  Why would Washington dump the body secretly into the sea without even having photographic evidence?”

Withdrawing Consent Means More Than It May Seem

Posted on by

google-search-header2

“Withdrawing consent does not mean being anti-social. Just the opposite. Going toward a natural order and society of life, freedom and property is the natural law alternative to the state and its artificial legalistic order.  Withdrawing consent can go much deeper than these changes. It can mean seeking out the underground economy, homeschooling, leaving the country, and avoiding the mainstream media interpretations.  I have the faith that the natural order of life, freedom and property is going to prevail eventually without using violence and that the state will some day be viewed as a perverse aberration based on false ideas.”

Least Surprising News Flash Ever: Study Finds Bureaucrats Are Lazy

Posted on by

“Gee, knock me over with a feather. Lazy people are more likely to work for the government. And they even admit it!  However, it seems that there are some causation/correlation issues. It may be that you don’t work for the government because you’re lazy. Instead, working for the government may make you lazy.  As a taxpayer, I confess this causes me some mixed feelings. I’m irked that bureaucrats are getting lavishly compensated at my expense. And I don’t like the idea of them goofing off while playing Solitaire or updating their Facebook pages. But then I remind myself that this may be the least-destructive way for them to occupy their time.”

Beyond Civil Disobedience

Posted on by

“In his book, Don’t Get Mad, Get Even, George Hayduke wrote, ‘The one thing the establishment is prepared for is a violent frontal attack. They may be pure lard inside, but they’ve got twenty-four inches of armor plate in the front.’  We have to avoid attacking them the way they expect to be attacked. They expect marches, and protests, and voting, and civil disobedience, and even a violent uprising. That’s behavior they’re prepared to deal with, but there’s lard on the other side of that armor. Never attack an enemy the way they expect to be attacked. Thats the way the Lego Underground should operate.”
