And, of course, the NYT forgot to connect the September 2007 event of Israeli bombardment of the Syrian nuclear site that Assad built with the aid of North Korea? That Syrian facility was the reconstruction of Saddam Hussein's nuclear site that was removed piecemeal from underneath the Euphrates River AFTER American troops invaded Iraq.

This too, is public record, yet the major leftwing media has deliberately ignored. Why? The American Progressives bristle at the thought of another successful capitalist nation in the Orient.

NIH Francis Collins is flat out wrong.
First of all, the CDC had an increase of 8% in government allocations in in January 2014. The so-called "cuts" in NIH spending were "cuts" in INCREASED SPENDING across the board of the Congressional Budget. Lordy, if these Liberal Liars just fall over the edge of the world.

Secondly, it is the PRIVATE SECTOR that is making progress on fighting Ebola with nicotine, not the government. Just google "nicotine - Ebola" and "nicotine - pharmaceuticals" and "nicotine - pesticides."

There are decades of private research by the tobacco companies on nicotine as a pharmaceutical:

"Tobacco and its evil cousin nicotine are good as a pesticide
Tobacco, used on a small scale as a natural organic pesticide for hundreds of years, is getting new scientific attention as a potential mass-produced alternative to traditional commercial pesticides. That’s the topic of a report in ACS’ bi-weekly journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research...
... They describe a promising way to convert tobacco leaves into pesticides with pyrolysis. That process involves heating tobacco leaves to about 900 degrees Fahrenheit in a vacuum, to produce an unrefined substance called bio-oil. The scientists tested tobacco bio-oil against a wide variety of insect pests, including 11 different fungi, four bacteria, and the Colorado potato beetle, a major agricultural pest that is increasingly resistant to current insecticides.

The oil killed all of the beetles and blocked the growth of two types of bacteria and one fungus. Even after removal of the nicotine, the oil remained a very effective pesticide. Its ability of the oil to block some but not all of the microorganisms suggests that tobacco bio-oil may have additional value as a more selective pesticide than those currently in use, the report indicates."

Researchers Light Up for Nicotine, the Wonder Drug
Marty Graham Email 06.20.07
Smoking may be bad for you, but researchers and biotech companies are quietly developing pharmaceuticals that are decidedly good for brains, bowels, blood vessels and even immune systems -- and they're inspired by tobacco's deadly active ingredient: nicotine.

Nicotine acts on the acetylcholine receptors in the brain, stimulating and regulating the release of a slew of brain chemicals, including seratonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. Not surprisingly, the first scientific work that identified these chemicals and how they affect the body came out of nicotine research -- much of it performed by tobacco companies.

Now drugs derived from nicotine and the research on nicotine receptors are in clinical trials for everything from helping to heal wounds, to depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, Tourette Syndrome, ADHD, anger management and anxiety."

To some how assume that the US government is the only agency interested in developing cures is ludicrous, when the private sector out-produces government research 1000/1 and gets results. The FDA and NIH are nothing but medical gravy trains producing nothing but red tape and regulations stymieing the pharmaceutical industry and especially tobacco research.

Ebola has been here for the past 40 years, and the US Government has taken no interest in this problem whatsoever. The hypocrisy of Francis Collins is exposing one more political opportunist right before our very eyes. Do you think this political posturing has anything to do with the upcoming election ??????

Go to the head of the class. You get an A+

Liberal Arts and Fine Arts? These are luxuries, and such merchandise needs a strong middle class for financial support: who can afford paintings, hand crafted furniture, or tickets to the ballet, string quartets, harp concertos and organ festivals today? This keeps civilization civilized. And look where we are right now!

Oh, oh, so true. What do you say the college students take summer jobs helping with the harvest, the way they used to do? Are the students too smart to work?

Then we taxpayers would not have to subsidize billions of dollars in student loans. Maybe the college curriculums might change, too.

Charter schools coupled with industrial apprenticeships would go a long way to filling those jobs. But of course, the teachers unions oppose any industrial apprenticeships. Industrial partnership in education would greatly cut state's costs in education.

You are an honest man and give us the true business prospectus. America is the only nation in the world mandating industry provide healthcare for their employees. Worse, Obamacare is the most expensive insurance on earth, favoring the conglomerates and destroying all their rising competition.

Do you think the House bill: the American Health Care Reform Act, which:
reforms the insurance industry,
opens up interstate commerce to all consumers,
and still provides for preexisting conditions,
cuts insurance and medical costs through competition,
and exempts industry from being the provider,
will restore fairness in profits for both workers and manufacturers?

Here we go again in the Progressive's game of class warfare. Raise minimum wage and shut down thousands of industries creating millions of new jobs? Most those new business owners do not even take a salary for the first five years. Right now, we have 92 million people either unemployed or under-employed.

There is a third party here that nobody is talking about.

1) Are we going to double our production to match doubling the wages?

2) Should the Federal Reserve Bank then print twice as much paper fiat?

3) Or will they print FOUR TIMES the amount of paper fiat, zeroing out your raise even after you have doubled production?

4) Then the Ex-Im Bank can disburse the illicit funny money around the globe to every dictatorship on earth?

See how it works? The Federal Reserve Bank is in control, not you, not your union, not the business owner.

INFLATION is the enemy. Let's try a new concept, DOUBLING the BUYING POWER OF OUR DOLLAR.

How? Turn off the bubble machine. Pass Rand Paul's bills:
Audit the Feds
Abolish the Feds

There are numerous other forums here regarding the Federal Reserve Board and its 12 Banks.

And, for all those exasperated posters on these forums, think of the four letter "F" word as the FEDS.

Oh, and don't forget, President Obama has already ordered the Feds to print $5 trillion dollars by 2012, and is now engaged in printing an additional $5 trillion as we speak. Economist Jim Rickards expects that the true buying power of the dollar will be reduced to 40 Cents when the Federal Reserve Board is finished and Obama leaves office.

DavidB says: "Obama, in other words, began his political journey sympathetic to gay rights, but not deeply informed about them. They were not one of his core political priorities. Today, just over a decade later, he has done more for gay rights than any other US president."

Not true. Back in 2008 when candidate Barak Obama solicited the Catholic Hispanic vote in California, he specifically took a stand AGAINST gay marriage.

Today, Obama is backing gay marriage, not to advance gay rights, but to END THEM. Obama is pitting the gay civil rights against religious civil rights deliberately to destroy the Constitution and First Amendment Rights of all Americans, which in the end, will include the gay community too.

Think back to Obama's days at Harvard studying the Constitution, eventually teaching the Obsolescence of the Constitution. This is his primary objective. His politics are like a game of billiards, knocking one ball against the next ball until the billiard table is cleared, pun intended.

Less than zero, guys, less than zero.

Rephrase gay "marriage" to gay "unions" and this strife would end.

We are on this little chat board but do not own the New York Times, so we are limited but not alone. There were 12 banks and their 9 owners listed above in the Federal Reserve Board at the beginning of this forum.

Might you forward this list of the Dirty Dozen to RANDPAC which is running Senator Rand Paul's 2016 presidential bid for the White House? Rand Paul has sponsored those two bills:
Audit the Feds.
Abolish the Feds.

You might like to watch that DVD "Darwin's Dilemma" - a very beautifully filmed scientific expose about the fossil record not supporting "natural selection" and "random mutating genes," tracking sites in the Canadian Rockies to China's exquisite Cambrian Explosion fossil beds.

As for the gays, I think they are being craftily used by the Left to destroy the Constitution and in the end, everybody's civil rights including their own.

Most likely, nobody on this forum has read that 2,700 Obamacare bill: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, but they can pull it up on the Thomas Guide to Congressional Records.

Read the part where the government can determine if a person is incompetent to speak for himself and appoint a government attorney or medical practitioner by proxy to euthanize him. Who will speak for the poor, the homeless, the chronically ill or the elderly with a State itching to seize one's estate or rid the nation of "useless eaters"?

It is religion that defends our Constitutional rights to Life, Liberty and Property (aka our own body), not the Progressive Left government takeover we are witnessing today. Pelosie makes my skin crawl.

1956 = Eisenhower during the Cold War fighting Communism, a godless state. I think the reds feared Pope John Paul II more than NATO during the Reagan years.

Brezhnev declared Alexander Solzhenitsyn mentally ill for believing in God and banished him from the kingdom after writing his Gulag series. Something about the sovereignty of the individual (natural law from Genesis) over that of the State scares the bajezus out of socialists.

Curios. Thanks for some tips on our paper fiat.

Good that the Dead Sea Scrolls back up the Bible. I thought they were so fragmented that we could only guess at the entire text.

I would like to know why nobody today on this forum is asking what is eating up everybody's hormones in both gays and straights alike, which is really driving much of the this debate between "atheists" and "religious" folks?

Everybody seems to be on permanent PMS, over-weight, sleepless nights, weak immune systems, cancer victims due to lack of hormones, and GRUMPY.

The FDA and HHS passed no restrictions on peddling the Morning After pill to minors, 40 times stronger than regular hormone altering birth control pills? What is happening to the young mothers? These girls will be graduating from hi-school sporting a mustache. They will not regain normal hormone production for DECADES, even if they become pregnant later on.

What will happen to future fetuses' hormone development? This is a pharmaceutical cover-up. The government is engaged in neutering the nation.

Does anybody recall Dr. Frank Horsfall, Director of the Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute writing the FBI about the pending threat of the hormone altering burcellosis epidemic in livestock affecting an increased birth of premature babies with weak immune systems, sparking a cancer surge?

Frank Horsfall was a former partner to Dr. Thomas Rivers at the Rockefeller Institute in the 1930s and 1940s collaborating in research with Drs. Eugene Von Haagen and Erik Traub. Traub and Haagen returned to Germany to offer their services to Hitler. After the war, Traub returned to the States to continue his Japanese B virus and Encephalitis research, all on public record in the NTIS. Traub is the patsy of Plum Island that author Michael Carroll is trying to finger for spawning the Lyme epidemic in New England, but that is another story.

So, the question is this. Instead of squabbling over the legitimacy of gay marriage, call it "gay unions" and the case is closed. The legal perks are the same. The social recognition is the same. Nobody is offended. Suddenly the debate over religious rights verses atheist's rights will simmer down.

The Progressives in the Democrat Party are using these two groups to dismantle the Bill of Rights for everybody, pitting religious civil rights against gay civil rights.

Isn't anybody suspicious of what the government is up to?

Let's go force a Kosher Jewish Deli to cater a Christmass Party for Boys Town and a feast of Ramadan for the local mosque - or fine the deli $150,000 and shut them down.

Ah, but the Bible had been edited by King Constantine so he might politically unify his nation. 2/3rds the text was eliminated. Read the New Testament's Apocrypha and Old Testament's Pseudepegripha (false word).

I would really like to get the original apostles' text instead of a translation of the translation of the edited translation.

Nobody seems to have the final word on this dilemma. The problem with these forums is that we can't have a civil debate on anything. Most of the Americans who first settled this nation were fleeing religious persecution from their Homelands. The Constitution was written to tolerate everybody's religious views, including atheists like Thomas Paine who vacillated back and forth.

What, should we take off "In God We Trust" from the dollar bill and replace it with "May The Force Be With You" ??? We are entering the theatre of the absurd.
