A revolutionary breakthrough in cancer treatment that is being described as a “game-changer” would see the body’s own immune system utilized to attack diseased cells, rather than rely on sickening chemotherapy, researchers announced lately.

Scientists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York say they have successfully experimented with the new procedure, using 16 people who had advanced leukemia and had otherwise run out of treatment options. The researchers said the patients underwent targeted T cell therapy, which then eliminated the cancerous cells in most of the patients, CBS News reported.   Continue reading “Chemotherapy-free cancer treatment uses body’s own immune system to attack diseased cells”

So we start this whole thing off with cancer, since that’s the biggest “mystery” on Earth. Cancer, the eighth wonder of the world, or is it the ninth? Cancer — that “disease” (actually it’s a disorder) of the cells where certain dying or “chemicalized” cells mutate and multiply uncontrollably, then attack your good cells. Scientists all over the world cannot figure out a vaccine or medicine to cure this problem. Or can they?

Then there’s Alzheimer’s disease, again, not really a disease at all. It’s not contagious, and you don’t inherit it either, so forget about that big lie. Yes, it’s “genetic,” because your genes get screwed up, and oxygen can’t get to your brain. Can anyone say “aluminum and lead in food”? Scientists certainly can’t build a human brain, and they definitely can’t take it apart — to figure out what causes seniors to forget who their immediate family is, and not know how to take care of themselves anymore. There’s just no pharmaceutical cure for that. Dang it! After all, what’s the pill made from that makes you stop eating heavy metals?   Continue reading “Amazing herbal cures from around the world”

Top-secret documents reveal that the National Security Agency is dramatically expanding its ability to covertly hack into computers on a mass scale by using automated systems that reduce the level of human oversight in the process.

The classified files – provided previously by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden – contain new details about groundbreaking surveillance technology the agency has developed to infect potentially millions of computers worldwide with malware “implants.” The clandestine initiative enables the NSA to break into targeted computers and to siphon out data from foreign Internet and phone networks.   Continue reading “How the NSA Plans to Infect ‘Millions’ of Computers with Malware”

The state of the world is dire.  Our economy is collapsing, the government urinates all over the Constitution, and the United Nations is using Agenda 21 to advance their goal of taking over every natural resource on the planet, including personal property.

Given the situation, the outlook is grim.   Continue reading “Fun: It’s Not the F-Word”

Of all the ill-conceived elements of ObamaCare, the worst may be the individual mandate. Not only is it unconstitutional (Chief Justice Roberts’s inexplicable journey to the dark side notwithstanding), but it also presents a conundrum for which there is no plausible resolution: If you don’t enforce the mandate, the viability of the entire health insurance market is jeopardized because you need those young healthies to pay for all that “affordable care” for the old sickies. But if you do enforce it, people rightfully cry foul because you’ve already delayed the employer mandate not one year but now two.   Continue reading “Shhhhh! HHS basically exempts everyone from individual mandate (but keep it quiet)”

Police shot a 20-year-old airman as he lay on the ground following a traffic accident along Interstate 85 in Alabama, the man’s family said.

Air Force Airman 1st Class Michael Davidson was traveling Thursday evening from Texas to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, near Goldsboro, N.C., in a 2004 GMC Envoy when he changed lanes and clipped a semi-truck with his driver’s side mirror, according to police.   Continue reading “Unarmed airman shot in gut by Alabama police as he lay on ground following traffic accident”

As the world’s biggest online retailer, Amazon wants a benevolent image to encourage trust from customers. Obtaining vast quantities of their personal information has been central to the firm’s business model. But Amazon is diversifying — and a few months ago the company signed a $600 million contract with the Central Intelligence Agency to provide “cloud computing” services.   Continue reading “Why Amazon’s Collaboration with the CIA Is So Ominous — and Vulnerable”

The IDF has sent tanks into Gaza over the past several minutes, which have already eliminated two terror targets, in response to the barrage of rocket fire on Israel.

At least 60 rockets slammed into southern Israel on Wednesday, hitting several Jewish communities.     Continue reading “IDF Tanks Strike Gaza After 60 Rockets Hit Israel”

Ohio authorities have halted a fracking operation in following two quakes. Both the authorities and the operator say there is no evidence linking fracking with the tremors, but in the past an Ohio well was closed for causing quakes.

The Ohio tremors were felt on Monday in Poland Township and the village of Lowellville near the Pennsylvania. The first 3.0 magnitude quake stroke at about 2:30 am and was followed by a second 2.6 magnitude quake at 11:45 am, the US Geological Survey reported. Two smaller aftershocks were reported later in the day.   Continue reading “Ohio fracking drilling shut down after quakes”

If you ever wanted to dupe an enemy sonar (or a whale), a new tool that fools sound waves into thinking they’re hitting nothing but thin air is for you. The cloaking device, paid for by the US military, is a mathematical marvel of engineering.

The simple toy, a little bigger in diameter than an iPad, and which looks like lightweight sheets of plastic stacked together to form a sort of Mayan pyramid with tiny holes, acts as if sound passes right through it and whatever it hides inside. It works with sound coming from any angle, and does its magic by rerouting the sound waves to avoid collision with hard matter.   Continue reading “‘In one ear, out the other’: New cloaking device makes hidden objects completely inaudible”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Errico Auricchio produced cheese with his family in Italy until he brought his trade to the United States more than 30 years ago. Now, the European Union is saying the types of cheeses he sells aren’t authentic enough to carry European names.

As part of trade talks, the EU wants to limit the use of names like Parmesan, feta and Gorgonzola on cheese made in the United States. The argument is that the American-made cheeses are shadows of the original European varieties and cut into sales and identity of the European cheeses.   Continue reading “Europe makes a stink about American cheese names”

NEW YORK (AP) — Kitty Genovese’s screams for help couldn’t save her on the night she was murdered outside her apartment in 1964. Fifty years later, those screams still echo, a symbol of urban breakdown and city dwellers’ seeming callousness toward their neighbors.

The case “caught the spirit of the time,” said Thomas Reppetto, a police historian. “It seemed to symbolize that society no longer cared about other people.” Genovese’s random stabbing by Winston Moseley on March 13, 1964, became a sensation when The New York Times reported that “38 respectable, law-abiding citizens” in Queens watched the attack unfold over more than half an hour and didn’t call police during the assault.   Continue reading “50 years later, New York murder still fascinates”

With diplomacy having failed miserably to resolve the Russian annexation of Crimea, and soon East Ukraine (and with John Kerry in charge of it, was there ever any doubt), the US is moving to the heavy artillery. First, moments ago, the US DOE announced in a shocking announcement that it would proceed with the first draw down and sale of crude from the US strategic petroleum reserve, the first since June 2011, in what it said was a “test sale to check the operational capabilities of system infrastructure”, but is really just a shot across the bow at Putin for whom high commodity prices are orders of magnitude more important than how the Russian stock market performs. And now, as Bloomberg just reported, the US has escalated even further, citing the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, who “has claimed that in the case of an escalation of unrest in Crimea, the U.S. Army is ready to back up Ukraine and its allies in Europe with military actions.”   Continue reading “Chairman Of Joint Chiefs: US Ready For “Military Response” In Ukraine”
