[Citizen Free Press] "I’ve had Covid already, so our understanding of antibodies and natural immunity is still evolving. With my age group and physical fitness level it’s not necessarily a fear of mine. Taking the Vaccine, it opens me up to the rare chance of having an adverse reaction to the Vaccine itself. I don’t believe that being Unvaccinated means being infected or being Vaccinated means uninfected. You can still catch Covid with or without the Vaccine."
[Libertarian Institute] From the early 1990s onward, I was exposing FBI crimes, lies, and cover-ups. FBI director Louis Freeh publicly denounced me after I wrote a Wall Street Journal piece on the FBI’s killing of an innocent mother holding her baby at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. I continued hammering FBI abuses in the Journal, Playboy, American Spectator, and other publications.
One of the FBI’s biggest blunders occurred when it falsely accused a hapless security guard of masterminding an explosion at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Richard Jewell heroically saved lives by detecting and removing a pipe bomb before it exploded. But the FBI decided that Jewell had actually planted the bomb and leaked that charge to the media, which proceeded to drag Jewell’s life through the dirt for eighty-eight days. The FBI did nothing to curb the media harassment long after it recognized Jewell was innocent. I flogged the FBI’s vilification of Jewell in my 2000 book, Feeling Your Pain: The Explosion and Abuse of Government Power in the Clinton-Gore Years.
In August 2001, I took a brief vacation in the mountains of western North Carolina. My then spouse was leafing through a tourist guidebook and swooned over a chalet inn she saw that was far off the beaten path. Alas, the directions to that hideaway were not worth a plug nickel. After futilely roving that zip code for an hour, I pulled up in front of a hardware store in Whittier, a one-stoplight hamlet, to cuss and recheck the map.
I stepped out of my car and fired up a cheap cigar as I leaned against the front hood of my Ford. Ninety seconds later, a big ol’ bald guy wearing bib overalls came bounding out of the hardware store and asked in a booming voice: "What part of Maryland you from?"
1st of all The FBI CIRG still has a lot of good agents that far the few out-weight the career brown nosing ladder climbers.
While Ruby Ridge and the Olympic Bombing are both examples of why there needs to be a clear re-written Operational Scope and Mission framework issued, that DE-Politicizes the DOJ and all related Federal Agencies.
Plus an Independent IG review to shake-up and get these agencies back to doing their original mission as respected Law Enforcement and NOT politically used weapons.
Let Us Not Forget
WACO, the Atlanta Prison Riot, Fast and Furious or any of the other handful of White House politically controlled FBI/ATF/DEA/DOJ Major Screw-ups or the dozens of clear violations of US Law and the US Constitution.
BTW: After looking at the dates some of these Issues came to light.
A person might see that many happened around various White House / Congressional Incidents and helped Deflect media and Political attention.
HUMMMMM!
[Breitbart] On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s "The Last Word," Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said that her takeaway on the evacuation of Afghanistan from the Senate’s hearing earlier in the day was that the evacuation "was actually an amazing undertaking" where "our military was able to get about 124,000 people out. They left no American-owned equipment behind."
...except for a billion or trillion dollars worth of stuff neatly lined up. And files and files of information about the Afghans who supported the Coalition effort in any way. We did get that many people out, though most of them were not American citizens or green card holders — or even the people we’d promised to get out.
And "We should be proud of President Biden and proud of our military."
Host Lawrence O’Donnell asked, "What was your takeaway from the hearing about the evacuation from Afghanistan?"
Warren responded, "That it was actually an amazing undertaking. It was done under chaotic circumstances.
...which need not have been chaotic, had they only used the Trump evacuation plan. Or even bothered to make one of their own.
Because the government had collapsed. Because the army had melted away, the Afghan Army, and that, even in the midst of all of that, our military was able to get about 124,000 people out. They left no American-owned equipment behind. They managed to execute that. And, yes, it was at risk. We lost a young woman from Massachusetts. I’m working now on trying to get the Congressional Medal of Honor for the people who we lost right at the end. But we knew it was a risky undertaking and the military performed. We should be proud of President Biden and proud of our military."
[MED Press] An inexpensive anti-seizure medication markedly improves learning and memory and other cognitive functions in Alzheimer's patients who have epileptic activity in their brains, according to a study published in the Sept. 27th issue of JAMA Neurology.
"This is a drug that's used for epilepsy," says Keith Vossel, MD, MSc, director of the Mary S. Easton Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research at UCLA, and the principal investigator on the clinical trial. "We used it in this study for Alzheimer's patients who had evidence of silent epileptic activity, which is seizure-like brain activity without the associated physical convulsions."
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia worldwide. Early symptoms include short-term memory loss, decline in problem solving, word-finding difficulties, and trouble with spatial navigation. Among Alzheimer's patients, an estimated 10-22% develop seizures, while an additional 22-54% exhibit silent epileptic activity.
Dr. Vossel showed in earlier studies that patients who experience silent epileptic activity in their brains have a more rapid decline in cognitive function. The researchers chose to test the anti-seizure medication levetiracetam, which was approved by the FDA in 1999 and had also performed well in animal models of Alzheimer's disease. Now available as a generic, levetiracetam costs around $70 per year. The dose tested in the trial was 125 mg twice a day, far less than a typical dose used for epilepsy.
[ZeroHedge] Now that at least one employer in the health-care field - Michigan's Spectrum Health - has decided to accept proof of natural immunity from prior infection as reason to waive its vaccination mandate for all employees, legal expert (and the reporters who love to quote them) are wondering: will the legality of proving natural immunity potentially win out in court?
The answer to that question, they say, will depend - as all things COVID-related do - on "the science", that nebulous and frequently shifting concept of how prior infection impacts immunity to new variants (and whether vaccine's do as well).
#1
A logical sort would conclude natural immunity (as defined by previous exposure to a virus) is superior to a vaccination. Then again, I'm sure someone will come around here and take issue with this fact...
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
