Zach Greinke's Astronomical Fantasy Value
6 months ago by Nicklaus Gaut
Follow Nicklaus
Nothing is ever completely quiet at the deadline, only often boring. But this year it was eerily silent on the day of the new hard trade deadline as only minor tremors shook the market. Sure, the typical moves were made that make fans shrug, as their teams shored up the back of their rotations, bullpens, and bench. But what everyone really wanted to know was about the BIG move that almost everyone expected was coming. Where would Noah Syndergaard be traded?
Nowhere, it turns out, as the deadline came and passed without the Mets moving either Syndergaard or Zach Wheeler (who also seemed a lock to be traded). Instead, the best kind of big trade happened. The one no one sees coming because the only people who knew about it were the principles involved and they weren't talking.
Having moved on from Thor, the Astros dropped their own hammer as news broke that they had acquired Zack Greinke from the Arizona Diamondbacks, thus changing the narratives of the trade deadline and the rest of the season, as well as making themselves the seemingly prohibitive World Series favorite, all in one fell swoop.

Coming Back to America(n)
The American League, that is, as Zack Greinke comes back to the AL after spending almost nine years on the Senior Circuit. Besides the obvious (states, teammates, how chili should be made), what is changing for the 35-year old as he now finds himself on a World Series contender?
With the move, Greinke goes from Chase Field to Minute Maid Park, where the Astros will play 29 of their remaining 52 games. Since the introduction of a humidor system in 2018, Chase Field has been reduced from a hitter's paradise to a more subdued hitter's park, with "only" a 103 Park Factor in 2018, reduced from their previous three-year average of 108. Houston, on the other hand, is a sneaky pitcher's park whose 94 Park Factor over the previous three seasons is tied for the third-lowest in baseball.
Greinke: Advantage
Division/Remaining Schedule
Arizona has an unbalanced schedule remaining, with 32 of their remaining 53 games coming at home. While the humidor has reduced the hitter-friendly nature of Chase Field, its 2018 Park Factor was still tied for the league's 10th-highest. Outside the less than friendly home-confines of Chase, Arizona has 21 remaining road games, nine of which come in Cincinnati (third-highest Park Factor in 2018), Milwaukee (15th), and Colorado (as in, Coors).
Arizona also has four games remaining against the World Series contending Los Angeles Dodgers, as well as four against the Mets, who apparently fancy themselves a contender. On the other hand, the Astros end their season on the virtual cupcake-trail, playing 30 of their final 52 games against the non-contending Royals, Mariners, Blue Jays, Tigers, White Sox, Angels, and Rangers.
Run Support/Bullpen
It probably doesn't need to be explained that Greinke now has much better hitters playing with him on the division-leading Astros, than he did on the Diamondbacks. But while Greinke's 5.07 runs-per-game of support puts him squarely in the middle of pitchers making at least 15 starts, the true devil is in the details, as Greinke failed to pick up a win eight times after giving up three runs or fewer, with five of those outings being two runs or less. And like an exclamation point on his Diamondbacks career, Greinke ended his Arizona tenure by giving up only five runs in his final three starts while collecting zero wins.
But if Greinke is going to snatch more wins down the fantasy homestretch, his biggest advantage may lie in his new bullpen, as the Diamondback's pen was merely average, sitting squarely in the middle of the league in most important metrics. In contrast, Houston bullpen has the league's 4th-best ERA as well as the lowest xFIP in baseball.
Fantasy Dreaming
All that is well and good but how does that affect Greinke in regard to what's really important? As in, your fantasy team. How does the trade change his value for the rest of the season in redraft leagues? What about for dynasty players?
The Here and Now (Redraft)
Greinke's stuff hasn't changed and it's probably not going to change in the next two months. He was a must-start pitcher with Arizona and he's still a must-start with Houston. In a vacuum, Greinke's fantasy stat-line has the best chance of improving in the wins column, for all the reasons laid out previously. But given the easier schedule, the friendly home park, no Coors, etc...it's not unreasonable to expect bumps in his ratios as well. So if you already have Greinke and plan on keeping him around, then the move to Houston will likely provide a moderate upgrade to his fantasy earnings.
But should you keep him? If contending with Greinke as the lynchpin of your pitching staff, then yes; you should probably hold on unless overwhelmed by an offer. But if Greinke is your number two or three? It might be time to do some dealing as the fantasy trade deadline approaching, with Greinke's value unlikely to ever be higher as everyone is awash and flush with the hype that comes with such a big trade. Selling off Greinke to an owner dreaming of Houston's pitching magic could go a long way towards patching any roster holes you may have as we enter the dog days of the fantasy season.
The Future, Conan? (Dynasty 2019 and Beyond)
While selling high on Greinke may be the best strategy in redrafts, as taking advantage of the margins that lie in inflated markets is one of the keys to fantasy success, targeting him in dynasty may be a better course. Because just as everyone knows that Tinker Bell and all the other residents of Pixie Hollow have a magic tree that makes them pixie dust, everyone knows Tal's Hill was removed from Minute Maid Park only because that's where GM Jeff Luhnow decided to hide the tree that makes the Astros' magic pitching dust.
The Houston-Effect (copyright-pending) is what you'd be betting on if you decide to trade for Greinke in dynasty. And why not? Every year, half the fantasy world decides that this is the year that Greinke will stop getting away with his ever-diminishing velocity and stop being a top-20 pitcher. And yet, he persists. Unless he starts throwing 85 mph (which is certainly on the table), the year-long Houston Astros version of Greinke is unlikely to suddenly fall off a cliff with his skills and regress himself out of the top-40.
Is the 35-year old guaranteed to be in the top-20 again in 2020? Of course not. But if you can acquire him closer to the cost of the average aging pitcher with velocity problems, instead of the statistical metronome that Greinke's been, sign yourself up.
In the end, the most likely outcome is that Greinke is about the same pitcher that he was in Arizona but now with more wins. So if you hold on to him this year, you're unlikely to be disappointed. But remember that it's the savvy fantasy GM who doesn't always stay static with the safe plays but instead watches for that bloated market and stays brave when the time to pounce arrives.

For a change I am actually posting my sketch from the Friday Ad Hoc group before it is yesterday's news! As others have mentioned, we met at Drunky's BBQ in the Fremont neighborhood. I can recommend the beef brisket, which the waitress assured us was their specialty.
As far as this sketch goes, it is pen and ink over acrylic, which I have randomly applied to several pages of my sketchbook with a printing brayer. I am trying to use them as I come to them, and the shape of this one fortuitously fit well with the perspective lines of this view.


It is the perforation of the tongue web (frenulum), the small flap of tissue that attaches the underneath of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. The tongue web piercing is not noticeable unless you lift your tongue. An uncommon style of oral piercing, you can give it a try provided your frenulum is prominent enough. It is also known as frenulum piercing and tongue webbing piercing.
Although this piercing is relatively simpler than other types of oral piercings, you might have to search for a well-recognized piercing salon having years of experience in it. Before going ahead with the piercing, you would be given an antibacterial mouthwash for rinsing your mouth. A light, hollow needle is then pushed through the frenulum. A curved or straight jewelry is inserted into the pierced spot after the completion of the procedure.
Piercing the delicate tissue layer beneath the tongue could be quite painful. Not many are comfortable with the jewelry sticking out from the tongue web. Do not worry if the pierced area swells or becomes tender as it happens with any piercing.
It takes around 2 to 8 weeks for the piercing to heal properly.
An infected frenulum piercing can cause irritation and pain along with pus discharge. If the piercing site undergoes severe swelling and reddening then seek immediate medical attention. Although it does not cause damage to the teeth and gums, the jewelry might rub against the underside of the tongue and floor of the mouth, resulting in pain. Rejection is another common issue associated with tongue web piercing due to the unusual placement of the jewelry. Therefore, it is necessary to get it done by a certified piercer.
Larger-sized steel barbells and ball closure rings are ideal for the piercing. Titanium and gold jewelry are also good options. You can settle for smaller jewelry after the area heals completely.
The price of the piercing ranges between $15 and $30 in any sophisticated piercing studio.
As the name suggests, two perforations are made on the tongue frenulum.
If you have a well-developed tongue web, then three piercings can be done on it. However, this one may cause a greater amount of pain.


Santa Monica is of the most beautiful stretches of beach on the American continent. It's also one of the most famous, having made countless appearances in movies and TV serials such as Baywatch. Located just 13 miles from downtown Los Angeles, this is where the Angelinos come to hang out and show off the body beautiful, making the most of the year round good weather on this part of the Pacific Coast.
Santa Monica enjoys more than 330 days of sunshine each year, with average temperatures barely dipping below 17C. What little rain there is tends to fall between the months of December and March.
Santa Monica isn't all lounging about on sun-kissed sands. It's all about being seen, and being a part of the fitness-conscious recreation scene. The emphasis is on action here, and each year up to 3 million Angelinos and visitors bike, rollerblade, windboard, jog or simply strut along the 22 miles of the Beach Bike Path each year.
Though there's a lot going on along the shore, the Pacific Ocean is an attraction in itself. You can cool off with a dip in the clear blue waters, surf the impressive waves as they surge towards the shore or just wander along the golden sands looking for decorative shells.
Shops, bars and restaurants, together with the carousels and rollercoasters of Pacific Park, the pier is the focal point of the Santa Monica beach scene. Street performers keep the casual visitor and cafe crowds amused with impromptu performances all day and throughout the evening. Build in 1908, it's the oldest pleasure pier on the West Coast of the United States.
Fifteen minutes from Santa Monica is the 150,000 acre Santa Monica Mountain Recreation Area. Open seven days a week, it gives the Angelino yet more active outdoor options, such as hiking, horse-riding and bird watching – yet in a distinctly alpine setting, removed from the beach-front glamour.
Useful information on what to see and do in Santa Monica, plus places to stay, where to eat and practical tips for visitors.

Andrew's lawyer says documents will absolve him of liability in sex assault case
Virginia Giuffre claims she was trafficked to have sex with the duke

Andrew's attorney has carved out a successful career defending allegations arising from the #MeToo movement (Image: PA Wire/PA Images)
Lawyers for the Duke of York say a woman who accuses him of sexually assaulting her has a prior agreement "releasing the duke and others from any and all potential liability".
Virginia Giuffre claims she was trafficked by Andrew's former friend, and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, to have sex with the duke, when she was aged 17 and a minor under US law.
At a pre-trial hearing, Andrew B Brettler, for the duke, said Ms Giuffre has previously entered into a "settlement agreement" that would nullify her current lawsuit.
He told the US district court for the southern district of New York that Andrew's lawyers have "significant concerns about the propriety of this lawsuit".
Mr Brettler was apparently appointed at the last moment after Ms Giuffre's legal team accused Andrew's lawyers of having "stonewalled" their attempts to get them to engage with the case.
The attorney has carved out a successful career defending allegations arising from the #MeToo movement.
"We believe this is a baseless, unviable and potentially unlawful lawsuit that the plaintiff has filed against the duke," Mr Brettler said.
"There has been a settlement agreement that the plaintiff has entered into in a prior action that releases the duke and others from any and all potential liability."
Judge Lewis A Kaplan repeatedly sought to limit the scope of the hearing to whether or not the duke had been properly served notice of the case, and what action the court needs to take to ensure the legal papers reach him.
David Boies, representing Ms Giuffre, said that the complaint had been "delivered to the last known address of the defendant", and added that the documents had also been sent "by Royal Mail".
Mr Boies said: "We believe we have complied with the service requirement and we filed proof of service last Friday."
He said he expected Andrew to challenge the claim that notice of the case has been properly served on him.
Andrew's lawyers have 'significant concerns about the propriety of this lawsuit' (Image: PA Wire/PA Images)
Mr Brettler said that the duke's team contested "the validity of service to date", adding he has not been properly served under either UK or international law.
He said that it could be up to the High Court in London to decide whether the case can proceed.
The alleged settlement agreement cited by Mr Brettler is currently sealed under the order of a different judge, the court heard.
Mr Boies said it was "inconsistent" to be making discovery requests for documents when the case still hinges on whether or not the duke has been properly served notice of the proceedings, and whether the US courts have jurisdiction over the case.
He added that if the duke does choose to engage with proceedings and make a formal request for documents, Ms Giuffre's legal team would respond "very promptly".
Mr Brettler said that he believed the document "absolves our client from any and all liability", adding other defendants had avoided similar proceedings by relying on its existence.
Judge Kaplan listed the case for a further hearing in-person next month.
He recommended both sides discuss the service of the case ahead of the next hearing in order to get to the "substance" of the claim.
Ms Giuffre is seeking unspecified damages, but there is speculation the sum could be in the millions of dollars.
The duke does not face the prospect of an extradition hearing as this only applies to criminal charges and not civil cases.
Lawyers for Ms Giuffre filed the civil suit against the duke citing allegations of battery by sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Rutgers University Libraries Receives Grant to Digitize Important Historical New Jersey Newspapers
Prior to this grant, New Jersey was one of only eleven states not included in Chronicling America.
With $186,204 grant New Jersey becomes the 44th state to participate in the National Digital Newspaper Program, supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities
The New Jersey Digital Newspaper Project is a collaboration of Rutgers University Libraries, the New Jersey State Archives and the New Jersey State Library that will make the history of New Jersey known to its citizens and the world. The plan, according to project director and Rutgers University digital archivist Caryn Radick, is to scan existing microfilm from the New Jersey State Archives and to make searchable digital files available through the Library of Congress website Chronicling America. Over a two-year period, the project will digitize and catalog at least 100,000 newspaper pages, originally published between 1836 and 1922 and not currently available in digital format.
"Our goals are ambitious," explains Radick. "We are meeting with the advisory board in September to identify the newspapers that are in greatest need of digitization and hope to have the first batch, encompassing about 25,000 pages, completed by October 2017. We will focus on influential newspapers and historically important news or themes to maximize the benefit to users of Chronicling America."
Newspapers may have been slow to gain a foothold in the colony—New Jersey was the last of the original thirteen colonies to publish its own newspapers—but when they finally appeared they were as energetic as the colony itself, which became a state of many newsworthy "firsts." In its Constitution of 1776, New Jersey was the first state to prohibit discrimination. The state became a leader in technology and invention, from the first commercially manufactured lightbulb to the telegraph to the drugs streptomycin and tetracycline. New Jersey has also seen its share of unrest with the bitter strikes of the early 20th century, such as the 1913 Paterson silk strike.
New Jersey's unique contributions to culture, politics, innovation and society are built into the historical fabric of the United States and digital access to this newspaper heritage is critical to an understanding of the sometimes painful, but always exhilarating growth of the nation. Ron Becker, head of special collections and university archives at Rutgers University Libraries, predicts this material will have a significant impact on new scholarship.
"From the Whig Papers to The Star-Ledger, New Jersey has a strong tradition of journalism. Prior to this digitization project, historians would travel to the New Jersey State Archives in Trenton or to a similar research institution and scroll through microfilm to find what they need. Having this material at their fingertips in a searchable, digital format will be tremendously beneficial to those who study and write about the history of New Jersey."
Prior to receiving this grant, New Jersey was one of only eleven states whose newspapers were not included in Chronicling America. Other new state recipients for 2016 include Alaska (Alaska Division of Libraries, Archives, and Museums), Colorado (Colorado Historical Society) and Maine (Maine State Library).
"Rutgers University Libraries is incredibly proud to participate in the National Digital Newspaper Program and to make the state's historical media available to anyone, anywhere in the world," said Krisellen Maloney, vice president for information services and university librarian at Rutgers University. "Caryn Radick and her colleagues are to be commended for bringing this home for Rutgers and for the state of New Jersey."

The importance of salt in the bodybuilding body – use or not?
Bodybuilding has become the biggest commotion around sodium. Some delight with its beneficial effects, others avoid it like a plague. Namely, some "load sodium" before the competition, others blame him for his failures. Some remove him from the diet a week before the competition, others limit the supply of sodium only for a day or two.
There is a good or bad way to introduce sodium into the bodybuilder's diet. Here are 10 tips that will put this matter in order once and for all.
You can believe it or not, but sodium is an element necessary for life. The demand for sodium is higher than for common micronutrients, such as chromium, zinc, iron or selenium. Sodium plays a major role in the nervous system, which in turn stimulates growth, contraction and recruitment (i.e. gradual incorporation of new motor units in the muscle) of the muscles.
When sodium enters the cell, it stimulates the absorption of glucose. It is consumed as a fuel or used to synthesise muscle glycogen. Sodium is essential for transporting glucose into the muscle cell!
Sodium stimulates the digestive system of amino acids from the gastrointestinal tract to the intestinal epithelial cells, from where they enter the body fluids. In addition, sodium is needed to transport amino acids to muscle cells for their growth and regeneration.
Thermogenesis means the production of heat by the body. Bodybuilders on a diet try to accelerate fat burning by increasing the ability to produce heat. To maintain thermogenesis, adequate sodium intake should be maintained – at least 3g per day.
Although no daily sodium requirement has been established, most caterers recommend a daily intake of 1 to 3 g to cover losses associated with normal sweating. This applies to people who have a moderate lifestyle. Thus, bodybuilders will need more sodium than the average John Smith to cover what they lose during intense training.
Let's start with 3 grams of sodium as the basic daily dose for a bodybuilder. Now add 1 gram of sodium for each kilogram of weight loss associated with normal water loss sleep and training. If, after a workout, you go, for example, 100kg to 99kg, this means that you should increase the sodium intake to 4g per day.
This is where bodybuilders get lost. A sudden increase in sodium results in the release of aldosterone, a hormone that causes water retention in the body. The result is a more smooth appearance, which can make you want to avoid sodium at all costs. But this is the whole trick. If the supply of sodium is high for more than five days, then the reverse scenario occurs: aldosterone excretion is stopped and the body loses sodium and water, leading to a hard, strong appearance.
Out of season, the goal should be muscle growth, and this requires an increased number of calories from carbohydrates and proteins. The sodium supply should not be limited as it takes part in the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates, and it excretes with the water we lose during training and sleep. The daily sodium intake should then be at least 3g.
Too many bodybuilders reduce the supply of sodium during the sharpening phase of the diet before the competition. I will give you an example of the beneficial effect of sidu in the days before the show. Many bodybuilders like to have a day off the schedule of their diet. Interestingly, bodybuilders reach for salty things like pizza, fries or hamburgers.
A day or two after this "free" day, believe it or not, look tough and slimmer. Why?
The secret of a "free" day is not just to increase glycogen reserves by eating more carbohydrates; the main role is played by the increase in sodium, thanks to which more carbohydrates enter the muscles. You can see this situation in action on Monday after Saturday's competition. The bodybuilder eats a powerful, salty meal after the competition and it turns out that he looks better on Monday than on Saturday, on the day of the show. What's the conclusion? Do not eliminate sodium from the diet just before the competition.
If you look great on Wednesday before the competition, there is nothing to combine with water and sodium. However, if you retain water, limit the consumption of sodium without changing the amount of drinks consumed. In order to get rid of water without increasing aldosterone, moderately reduce the amount of sodium in the week before the competition.

Abstract A new flavone C-glycoside, isovitexin 6 ''-O-E-p-coumarate (1) and two known flavonoid glycosides-quercetin 3-O-beta-D-glucuronopyranoside (2) and isoorientin (3)were isolated from an ethanol extract of aerial parts of Clematis rehderiana. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. The antioxidant effects of the two flavone C-glycosides were evaluated by both the MTT and DPPH assays. Compound 1 showed potent activities against H2O2-induced impairment in PC12 cells within the concentration range tested, whereas compound 3 scavenged DPPH radical strongly, with an IC50 value of 13.5 mu M.

"The Host and the Parasite", presented by its author Greg Felton from Vancouver B.C. in February 2008

"September 11…led to the passage of the USA Patriot Act and from there, people might argue, we went into a spiral toward the abyss of statism, torture, imperial overreach and all sorts of other things you can associate with undemocratic activity."
"On October 3rd, 2001, 24 days after September 11th happened, the Department of Justice handed Congress a document; it was called the USA Patriot Act and Congress was told to pass it….here we have a congress being told to follow a dictate from the Executive….
…the Patriot Act was entered into the House on October 23 and signed by GWBush on October 26. For legislation, that is an absurdly fast scenario.
…that document did something very strange and very sad –it legislated the Republic out of existence, legally."
"We have to explain why a Congress would commit political suicide. Why would Congress do this? My book takes the perspective that Congress was incapable of defending the Constitution, which..the Patriot Act utterly destroys.
…beginning with Ronald Reagan in 1980, and through a period of 25 years, the United States managed to mutate from a republic.. toward a police state and it did so because of events that came out of the Vietnam War"…
[part 2]"In 1967…Israel provoked a war in the Middle East and managed to seize control of the Suez….They occupied East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, Suez, the West Bank, Gaza Strip –it is still an illegal occupation…
The Israel Lobby which came to prominence under Harry Truman in 1948 and owed its allegiance to the Democratic Party was considering supporting a Republican [after Carter, who supported a Palestinian treaty]…with the election of 1980, ..the Zionists and Neoconservatives came to power and their front man was Ronald Reagan.
Through the 1980s we have a transition..between the role of oil as the dominant influence and cause of US policy in the Mid-East and that of supporting Israel, to the detriment of oil and to the detriment of the United States."
"Throughout the 1980s, Israel virtually ignored everything the US wanted to do…It had carte blanche to do what it wanted"…
"In 1991, Dick Cheney had acknowledged there was no threat of nuclear weapons from Saddam Hussein. Colin Powell said the same thing in 2000, so did Condoleeza Rice…that Iraq posed no threat to the US or Israel. [Then] the US policy flip-flopped 180 degrees"…
[part 3]" the only interested party involved in Iraq was Israel, for three reasons. Iraq has a lot of oil –Israel needs oil. Iraq has a lot of water; the Tigris and the Euphrates all within the ambit of what's called the Zionist claim on Middle Eastern land, "from the Nile to the Euphrates"…
…it's also the case that Saddam Hussein was one of the few Arab leaders courageous enough to stand up and defend the Palestinians against the repression and sadism of the Israeli state.
Israel wants complete military superiority over the region and so 'we' had a provocation to bomb Iraq."
"The United States government, especially since Clinton, has been populated by people who owe more of an allegiance to Israel than to the United States itself. To this day there are people in the United States government who are citizens of Israel, and to have dual citizens form the policy really brings up questions of duplicity and treason…
…it makes more sense to believe that the United States Congress is not in control of itself. The people making policy would rather serve Israel than serve their own public…and if we're ever going to have a discussion of what happened on September 11, ..we have to look at who benefitted from it."
"The United States has been humiliated, abused, disgraced, internationally and domestically, as it moves to support Israel in whatever it does. And it is impossible to think that this has been done willingly…The only possible thing that we can conclude is that the United States has been under Israeli occupation, to all intents and purposes.
…The United States..has slowly and quite clearly allowed itself to be occupied and humiliated by a lobby that had as it's primary interest the interest of another government…
If you look at the people who run the United States…the interplay between them and the Israeli lobby is very very close, and it makes no sense for the United States to murder Arabs en mass…to repudiate its principles and to declare war on its own citizens. The only way we can make sense of this is that the people in Washington are serving another government…We have essentially a treasonous government."

Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship between organisms of different species where one organism, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the host.
In general, parasites are much smaller than their hosts, show a high degree of specialization for their mode of life, and reproduce more quickly and in greater numbers than their hosts. Classic examples of parasitism include interactions between vertebrate hosts and diverse animals such as tapeworms, flukes, the Plasmodium species, and fleas. Parasitism is differentiated from parasitoidism, a relationship in which the host is always killed by the parasite such as moths, butterflies, ants, flies and others.
The harm and benefit in parasitic interactions concern the biological fitness of the organisms involved. Parasites reduce host fitness in many ways, ranging from general or specialized pathology (such as castration), impairment of secondary sex characteristics, to the modification of host behaviour. Parasites increase their fitness by exploiting hosts for food, habitat and dispersal……….. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasite

Beyond Freedom and Dignity, part I
Filed under: manufacturing consent,Psychological War — jenniferlake @ 4:04 am
Tags: B.F.Skinner, behaviorism, control, dignity, freedom, manufactured consent, nwo, psychology, social design, survival, Zionism
This essay is based on B.F. Skinner's 1971 book "Beyond Freedom and Dignity"
There is much not to like about B.F. Skinner; he set himself on a course to obliterate the concepts of 'freedom' and 'dignity' sensing, he writes, that they are fatal to human survival, or more specifically, to the culture that "we" have made. Skinner's use of the words "we" and "our" must be deduced to mean "anyone who has an interest in controlling human behavior, other than self". He never uses the word "they" in any other context than to describe the proponents of 'freedom and dignity', and so the lines are clearly drawn. The implication is that in a social order there are two kinds of people: controllers and controllees. According to Skinner, controllers may, in turn, be controlled by the systems they design and controllees have the power of 'reinforcement' to affect the behavior of controllers, but ultimately everyone is controlled by 'environmental contingencies' which are humanly controllable and therefore the balance falls squarely in favor of the controllers. Skinner's contribution as a controller was to develop a science of behaviorism : reduce 'man' to his observable forms, assess the sum of his parts, and gather experimental data to prove that he is accurately and justifiably categorical.
What we have to imagine, from Skinner's point of view, is that science will solve all of our problems and that furthermore the process is honest enough to become nearly flawless. There is an awful lot riding on Skinner's assertions. He assumed "we" would advance toward a perfect state by "our" willingness to be scientifically guided there if only we would discard the obsolete traditions of freedom and dignity. In aid of that objective Skinner reconstructs the 'autonomous man', the self-willed individual, and then demolishes him in a demonstration of behaviorism. Was he right? Is science impartial and honest enough to answer that question? If you and I applied Skinner's theories to himself and the "we" he speaks of, will we be able to discern the likelihood of general improvements that behaviorism has to offer? Skinner's ascendancy as a psychologist indicates the favor of his views with his paymasters –is it Skinner's Program and outlook that we are being subjected to ?
Admittedly, the literature of freedom and dignity has won humanity much of its 'progress'. Why wouldn't expanding and applying its concepts continue to advance the human cause? What ultimately is the human cause? The risk of not defining it for ourselves (my 'our' and not Skinner's) is to fail in matching our Controllers with effective countercontrols. As we shall see, the defenders of 'autonomous man' have already been done away with. Lack of control is not an option. Organization and articulation overcome disorder and weakness, subsuming and assimilating its energy, and 'man' is easily disordered by novel contingencies which behaviorism so adequately illustrates. What seems most dire in the views of B.F. Skinner is that he himself had to have disregarded fundamental principles of biology in higher organisms in order to sustain support for his thesis of intentional social design. He did not compare a society to an orgainsm. I don't know if he ever did, was qualified, or incorporated qualified evidence of complex living organisms as models for larger systems. If he knew that the health of complex lifeforms was dependent on necessary interactions of seemingly opposed internal systems, it did not detract from his enthusiasm to suggest that 'perfect' design would eliminate conflict.
The fact that every historical Utopian experiment has failed, and "ignominiously" so agreed Skinner, did not deter him from urging that designers press forward. Is this the definition of madness? Or is it reasonable that science will provide the keys to perfecting the controlled society, and more importantly, will that ensure human survival? Were it possible to do so, would a human 'organism' have a better chance of survival if all harmful 'stimuli' such as pathogens are designed out of the environment? With no need for a strong immune system will we 'select' it out of existence? "Beyond Freedom and Dignity" is not concerned with health –it is concerned with the survival of Skinner's culture. The task then appears to be identifying Skinner's culture, deciding whether or not it should survive, if tolerated then to what degree, and how best to apply countercontrols with the support of a new literature of freedom and dignity. Skinner was wrong in the end. Freedom and dignity are as essential to a human society as an immune system is to a human body. Without it we become sick, and we die, and may fail to endure as a species.
I have no idea if a 'new' literature of freedom exists, or if I would agree to it if it did. Undeniably, it works, motivating revolutionary spirit into action despite the faults found in it by Skinner. The main fault was that it was incomplete. The problem now is that it may not meet the needs of the present and 'revolution' as it was conceived in the past may not be the ideal spirit to engender. My personal sense is to 'recover' the freedom lost by the slow and 'silent' revolutions that have turned legal constructs upside down. Technology has inserted vast new contingencies that alter the definitions once given to 'self', 'privacy' and 'privileges', and with it we may have to forge a broad class of counter-contingencies. In Skinner's view, 'spirit' is merely a colloquialism for a seemingly uncaused behavior. He rejected the notion of 'uncaused' –it was simply something lacking an observable form. Perhaps in the process of re-valuing freedom and dignity in light of the present challenges we will come closer to preserving them than our existing literature can provide. We'll have to lay our modern technologies on the table and account for them, as they are the 'inconspicuous' contingencies that Skinner advocated.
Behaviorism was not rejected, but it was energetically opposed by journalists, psychologists, and theologians such as Noam Chomsky, Arthur Koestler, Peter Gay, Herbert Kelman, Rollo May and others. Quoting Time magazine in 1971, as a pre-release notice of the book, Time states "To Theologian [Richard] Rubenstein, Beyond Freedom and Dignity is an important but 'terrifying' book. Skinner's 'utopian projection' he says 'is less likely to be a blueprint for the Golden Age than for the theory and practice of hell'."
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,909994-1,00.html
The fatal flaw in Beyond Freedom and Dignity is that Skinner destroyed the very 'countercontrol' that he was certain would balance an 'intentional society'. His critics were wrong too. They said it would never work. Did the critics offer a false security to the public? Was it pretention that they were guardians of freedom and dignity? Skinner's behaviorism and designer communities do work which is why his outlook poses such a threat to us. He made himself a "useful idiot", convinced of his own genius, and his detractors fairly recognized the ultimate price of implementing Skinnerian plans : totalitarianism. Their derision inflated the opinion that Skinner would be easily dismissed, but in fact, the plan is visibly attended. It is becoming much of what he hoped, despite appearances, and with great irony we can look back at the man who constructed himself a "pleasant environment" to live in, yet confessed to being deeply unhappy.
Excerpts from Beyond Freedom and Dignity
"In trying to solve the terrifying problems that face us in the world today, we naturally turn to things we do best. We play from strength, and our strength is science and technology.
…we can point to remarkable achievements in all these fields [birth control, weapons, medicine]…But things grow steadily worse, and it is disheartening to find that technology itself is increasingly at fault. Sanitation and medicine have made the problems of population more acute, war has acquired a new horror with the invention of nuclear weapons, and the affluent pursuit of happiness is largely responsible for pollution. As Darlington has said,"Every new source from which man has increased his power on the earth has been used to diminish the prospects of his successors. All his progress has been made at the expense of damage to his environment which he cannot repair and could not foresee". Whether or not he could have foreseen the damage, man must repair it or all is lost."
[p.4]…physical and biological sciences alone will not solve our problems…we need to make vast changes in human behavior.
[p.5] What we need is a technology of behavior…But a behavioral technology comparable in power and precision to physical and biological technology is lacking…
Today [man] is the thing he understands least. Physics and biology have come a long way, but there has been no comparable development of anything like a science of human behavior.
[p.6]..our practices in government, education, and much of economics..have not greatly improved. [The Greeks'] thinking about human behavior must have had some fatal flaw…Greek theories..led nowhere…they did not contain the seeds of anything better.
[p.7]..the methods of science have scarcely yet been applied to human behavior…It has to do with our treatment of the causes of behavior.
..Intelligent people no longer believe that men are possessed by demons..but human behavior is still commonly attributed to indwelling agents. A juvenile delinquent is said, for example, to be suffering from a disturbed personality. There would be no point in saying it if the personality were not somehow distinct…Psychoanalysts have identified three of these personalities –the ego, superego and id– and interactions among them are said to be responsible for the behavior of the man in whom they dwell.
[p.9] To the medieval alchemist…properties of substances were compared in what might have been called a "chemistry of individual differences". Newton complained.."To tell us that every species of thing is endowed with an occult specific quality by which it acts and produces manifest effects is to tell us nothing". Almost everyone who is concerned with human affairs..continues to talk about human behavior in this prescientific way.
[p.10]…certain stubborn questions about the nature of the mind..still go unanswered. How for example, can the mind move the body? As late as 1965 Karl Popper put it this way: "What we want is to understand how such nonphysical things as purposes, deliberations, plans, decisions, theories, tensions and values can play a part in bringing about physical changes in the physical world".
[p.11]..the commonest alternative [to God(s)] is to appeal to antecedent physical events.
A person's genetic endowment..is said to explain part of the workings of his mind and his personal history the rest. For example, because of (physical) competition during the course of evolution people now have (nonphysical) feelings of aggression which lead to (physical) acts of hostility.
…aggression reaches back into millions of years of evolutionary history, and anxiety acquired when one is a child survives into old age.
[p12] Psychotherapists say feelings which have been put out of mind fight their way back in…and so on.
…but it is ususally possible to ignore them, and this may be a good strategy…The world of mind steals the show.
The conditions of which behavior is a function are also neglected…The professional psychologist often stops…how many of those who have considered [William] James' arguments have noted that no antecedent event has..been pointed out?
[p.13] There is a good deal of current interest, for example, in what must have happened during the evolution of the species to explain human behavior…behavior we cannot explain…
[p.14] The [invented] function of the inner man is to provide an explanation…he is a center from which behavior emanates. He initiates, originates, and creates, and in so doing he remains, as he was for the Greeks, divine. We say that he is autonomous –and, so far as a science of behavior is concerned, that means miraculous.
His existence depends upon our ignorance, and he naturally loses status as we come to know more about behavior. The task of a scientific analysis is to explain how the behavior of a person as a physical system is related to the conditions under which the human species evolved and the condition under which the individual lives….these events must be related…
The contingencies of survival responsible for man's genetic endowment would produce tendencies to act aggressively, not feelings of aggression….any feelings which may arise are at best by-products.
[p.15] Our age is not suffering from anxiety but from the accidents, crimes, wars, and other dangerous and painful things to which people are so often exposed….we do not need to try and discover what personalities, states of mind, feelings, traits of character, plans, purposes, intentions, or other perquisites of autonomous man really are in order to get on with a scientific analysis of behavior…The inner man has been created in the image of the outer.
[p.16]…[Feelings] are by-products and not to be mistaken for causes.
For thousands of years in the history of human thought the process of natural selection went unseen in spite of its extraordinary importance.
[p.17] The effect of the environment on behavior remained obscure for an even longer time. We can see what organisms do to the world…but it is much harder to see what the world does to them. It was Descartes who first suggested that the environment might play an active role in the determination of behavior…(he excluded the human organism, presumably to avoid religious controversy)
The triggering action of the environment came to be called a 'stimulus' –the Latin word for 'goad'– and the effect on the organism a 'response', and together they were said to compose a 'reflex'. Reflexes were first demonstrated in small decapitated animals…it seemed to deny the existence of an autonomous agent –the 'soul of the spinal cord'…
When Pavlov showed how new reflexes could be built up through conditioning, a full-fledged stimulus-response psychology was born, in which all behavior was regarded as reactions to stimuli.
[p.18] The stimulus-response model..did not solve the basic problem, because something like an 'inner man' had to be invented to convert a stimulus into a response. Information theory ran into the same problem when an inner 'processor' had to be invented to convert input to output.
…Descartes hypothesis held a dominant position in behavior for a long time, but it was a false scent from which a scientific analysis is only now recovering.
It is now clear that we must take into account what the environment does to an organism not only before but after it responds. Behavior is shaped and maintained by its consequences. Once this fact is recognized, we can formulate the interaction between organism and environment…
There are two important results. Behavior which operates upon the environment to produce consequences ('operant' behavior) can be studied by arranging environments in which specific consequences are contingent upon it….The second result is practical : the environment can be manipulated.
[p.19] A technology of operant behavior is..already well advanced. We have moved forward by dispossessing autonomous man, but he has not departed gracefully.
He is still an important figure in political science, law, religion, economics, anthropology, sociology, psychotherapy, philosophy, ethics, history, education, [etc.], and family life.
In the traditional view, a person is free. He is autonomus in the sense that his behavior is uncaused. He can therefore be held responsible for what he does and justly punished if he offends. That view..must be re-examined when a scientific analysis reveals unsuspected controlling relations between behavior and environment.
…new evidences of the predictability of human behavior are [being] discovered.
By questioning the control exercised by autonomous man and demonstrating the control exercised by the environment, a science of behavior also seems to question dignity and worth.
[p.21] [in the traditional view] A person is responsible for his behavior not only in the sense that he may be justly blamed or punished when he behaves badly, but also in the sense that he is given credit and admired for his achievements. A scientific analysis shifts the credit as well as the blame to the environment, and traditional practices can then no longer be justified.
These are sweeping changes, and those who are committed to traditional theories and practices naturally resist them.
[p.22] As the emphasis shifts to the environment, the individual seems to be exposed to a new kind of danger. Who is to construct the controlling environment and to what end? Autonomous man presumably controls himself in accordance with a built-in set of values; he works for what he finds good. But what will the putative controller find good and will it be good for those he controls? Answers to questions of this sort are said, of course, to call for value judgements.
A science of behavior is by no means as far advanced as physics or biology, but it has an advantage in that it may throw some light on its own difficulties. Science is human behavior, and so is the opposition to science.
[p.23] We can reject traditional explanations if they have been tried and found wanting in an experimental analysis…
[p.24] Almost all our major problems involve human behavior and they cannot be solved by physical and biological technology alone…but we have been slow…
[p.25] The behavioral sciences have been slow to change partly because the explanatory entities..have been hard to find. The environment is obviously important, but its role has remained obscure. It does not push or pull, it selects, and this function is difficult to discover and analyze.
…the selective role of the environment in shaping and maintaining the behavior of the individual is only beginning to be recognized and studied…effects, once assigned to states of mind, feelings, and traits, are beginning to be traced to accessible conditions…
It will not solve our problems however, until it replaces traditional prescientific views, and these are strongly entrenched. Freedom and dignity illustrate the difficulty. They are the possessions of the autonomous man of traditional theory and they are essential to practices in which a person is held responsible for his conduct and given credit for his achievements. A scientific analysis shifts both the responsibility and the achievement to the environment. It also raises questions concerning 'values'. Who will use a technology and to what ends? Until these issues are resolved, a technology of behavior will continue to be rejected, and with it possibly the only way to solve our problems."

A Few Words About the Agenda

Most "conspiracy" researchers like myself have found that the last 200 years of history prove an undeniable case for the emergence of a One World System in our lifetimes run by the Rothschild banking establishment and founded on the traditions of the Talmud. Hoax or not, the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is a tangible demonstration of the Plan for global domination. The evidence is all around us, just as the evidence for the destruction on 9-11 points to Israel and the complicity of high-ranking public officials. The publications from the Club of Rome likewise read like "progress reports" for the Protocols agenda. For all of 'us' who will be subject to this agenda, and yet remain outside of the zones of open hostility, day-to-day life has been compared to the hapless frog in a slow-to-boil pot; each day a little more hot and a little less free.
The peculiar directions of science and medical research over the last century are incredibly revealing in the amount of comprehension attained in biological control and we are left to guess at how much of each day's "measure" is serving this Grand Design. I started this blog in July09 in the midst of a "pandemic" that is not happening because of a deep foreboding that the Controls being sought are nearly in hand. There is no rational/logical explanation for things like mandatory vaccines, forced healthcare, carbon-footprint permits and the like when it flies in the face of experiential science. What else can it be but the consolidation of the Plan? Every article here in my blog is telling an aspect of this story; One story about One World, where everything coalesces under the rulership of an earthy oligarchy. Once they rule you, they own you, and then they will create or annihilate you as they see fit. There is no future but Their future and 'we' are to be made less than fully human to eliminate their competition. It's an old 'conquerors' trick, once merely a device of speech and record-keeping to alter social perceptions but today achievable in physical fact. How will we be 'less than human' –perhaps by becoming programmable DNA computers. Take a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_computing
DARPA has been working on an artificial intelligence 'interface' for untold years, calling it the "Golem Project" in respect of the Talmudic tradition. I don't know how many of the visible aspects of DARPA's Golem program apply to its greater activity, but in essence I assume that all of it does. The impetus in DNA computing, according to Ehud Shapiro of the Weizmann Institute speaking in 2003, is to find a "molecule that can recognize, cut and join DNA sequences in specific ways", what he suggests will be "designer enzymes…that can do things and go to places that silicon can't –such as inside our cells to make and control drugs." http://www.usc.edu/dept/molecular-science/index.html . Phage and virus already do this naturally –enter our cells and install a program– so the question is begging about the ability of virus-like 'nano-machines' harnessed for the activity of synthesizing specific enzymes to run an assembly program. If you were going to 'assemble' a DNA computer capable of replicating and replacing its own parts, wouldn't the ideal machine have an immortal and unlimited source of those parts? Cancer cells are just such an immortal cellular anomaly. A pharmaceutical-generating program that can control cancer cells in the self-performance of chemotherapy has the capacity I would think of becoming an immortal DNA computer, capable of replacing itself with endless 'perfect copies' while keeping the overproduction of those cells in check.
Such thoughts account for the intentional induction of cancer-causing substances today. Cancer cells may become the needed raw material for constructing immortal bio-bot computers. The staggering potential of DNA computing forecast by Leonard Adleman is that "One gram of DNA can store as much information as a trillion compact discs". "What's more", states the text of the USC webpages above, "myriad DNA molecules can examine every possible [pathway] at once, rather than one at a time as in a conventional computer". With this much incredible promise, is it likely that the DNA computing science would take a backseat? If I'm on the right track with this projection, a lot of agendas appear to be satisfied. I'm over my head here, but too intrigued not to steer for personally unchartered waters. Explanations for the presence of sophisticated and nano-sized materials in food, vaccines and chemtrails are not forthcoming and yet they are turning up in products of every description. At the atomic level, organic, inorganic and cellular materials have new and different properties, most informative of which comes from electrochemical experiments. As in the past, this new technical platform will be maximally spun-off and exploited in some ultimate pursuit of global mastery.

"In vitro meat" is coming! Not an imitation 'mock meat', but real meat grown in the lab that will hopefully appeal to vegans and vegetarians as well as die-hard carnivores. The purveyors of in-vitro-meat are working hard to overcome the obstacles of scale-production, cost and the biological requirements of animal-like texture and taste. wow…The idea of Dutchman Willem van Eelen, who thought it up languishing in a WWII Japanese POW camp, is now a "dream coming true" with the help of the In Vitro Meat Consortium and the U.S. non-profit 'New Harvest' organization. All they need are stem cells and support for the research, and by the looks of it, a lot of research help is going to be needed. It's not only expensive to re-invent nature, it's tricky.
Jimmy Buffett surely won't mind me borrowing the title of one of his most famous songs since he is a dedicated fundraiser for ecological causes. And when Utopia comes, well, we're all hoping for a luscious menu, aren't we? Nobody I know is very turned on by the the thought of Soylent Green, but eerily, the problems of in-vitro-meat are more Soylent Green-like than we're being led to expect. According to this article in Scientific American, critics and skeptics within the science community note that "in the past three decades, scientists have only succeeded in deriving embryonic stem cell lines from two animal species: the mouse in 1981 and the human in 1998." Controllable stem cells, because of their rapid growth, are essential to making an industry out of this vision. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=test-tube-pork
Making an industry with in-vitro-meat, however, is a primary and compatible goal of One-Worldism. They know you can't live on fruit so they're busily working to solve the problems. "In 2005 the Dutch government granted three universities and a Dutch meat processor owned by Smithfield Foods two million euros over four years to develop Eelen's idea", but the leading researcher, Bernard Roelen, has "so far..only produced fat and cartilage" and the only workable nutrient culture-medium is "derived from cow blood" although "alternatives exist but they are far too costly for food production". So, if the world crises get too pressing and the in-vitro-meat technical problems are solved, but the damned pork/bovine stem cell thing just isn't happening, what are the chances they'll choose either 'mouse' or 'human' and go with a winner?…um, I'd call that an executive business expedient on a need-to-know basis.
In case we forget from day-to-day just how much trouble we're in, the Scientific American reiterates the U.N.'s position on global warming, "The methane burps of 56 billion farm animals..are a significant contributor to climate change.."

In the mid-1960s, a popular science writer named Gordon Rattray Taylor published a book called "The Biological Time Bomb" aimed at posing the social questions on behalf of the public that advances in science and technology were inevitably to present. If one was suspended in time, the issues appear contemporary. In other words, the public comprehension is at least forty years behind the technology. This time-gap seems nearly about right in other areas of concern besides biology, like weather control and high-energy physics. Things like in-vitro-meat sound like solution-oriented applications of benevolently motivated activists, but this is last-stage accomplishment in the creation of genuine cyborg and synthetic lifeforms and the public discussion has completely missed the proper communication of micobial intelligence.
Mr. Taylor saw Transhumanism coming, and so did the biologists even decades before him. Knowledge about our general intelligence and the mechanisms of memory and learning have a structure encoded in the genetic matrix. Taylor highlighted the 'chemical' nature of memory and the promising researches done up to his publication indicating that RNA is the repository of memory, or its facilitator. Memory, in these terms, is described as a characteristic quality dependent on protein synthesis. RNA injection and interference experiments bore out significant impacts on memory and learning. How this relates to human diet is not directly addressed but he does not skip the issues of cannibalism that were part of this experimental milieu, stating that in a lower species "sensational" results of enhanced learning were displayed by cannibalistic feeding. Ohhh….ecologically responsible Smart Burgers. I can see it now, after the culling of course.

There is no longer any doubt in my mind that Colloidal Silver ingestion is an insidious plot against American patriots who are being set up to die: and by their own hands! Use of pandemic fear and the many fakeries of 'alternative health' which front for large multi-national corporate interests are actively engaged in the illusion of 'health freedom' to peddle this poison to the 'informed'. Nano-silver is probably on its way to be restricted shortly as an environmental hazard for very good reasons. Should such (EPA) restrictions or bans on metal-colloid pesticides become law, only the colloidal silver peddlars will lose –you, on the other hand, can still make it at home if you choose. It's so cheap once you get started, the bottles to store it in are far more expensive than the liquid, BUT the direction of research on people intentionally drinking CS is so alarming you may decide to stop immediately and get on a detox/anabolic/probiotic regimen to protect having a future life. If you're a young man, drinking colloidal silver may impair your ability to have healthy children, or any children.
If you drink colloidal silver, please read this:

Prerequisite to understanding the context of this post is the introductory piece: https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2009/08/17/colloidal-silver/
The current title is inspired by this document on silver-resistant bacteria: "A note of warning: colonies of bacteria exposed to Ag(l) show black pigmentation that is likely to be reduced metallic Ag(0)..." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1016/S0168-6445(03)00047-0/full; from the same document:
"After the 2001 anthrax scare in the USA, the Mayor of Tampa Florida publicly called for adding Ag(I) to municipal drinking water as protection against anthrax and HIV (unlikely to be effective, but equally unlikely to do harm)… In essentially all situations, open public testing to demonstrate efficacy or harm is not available… What is needed for research? With the availability of the genes for silver resistance, we have identified closely related genes in bacteria from environmental and clinical environments and from diverse geographical locations (A. Gupta et al., in preparation). These findings should eliminate recent skepticism about the existence of silver-resistant bacteria. Now that the means for identifying silver resistance determinants in Enterobacteriaceae is available, similar efforts are needed with other common pathogens… The wide and uncontrolled use of silver products may result in more bacteria developing resistance, analogous to the world-wide emergence of antibiotic- and other biocide-resistant bacteria. Such resistant microbes would be detrimental to clinical and hygienic uses that depend on the microcidal properties of silver." [section4] http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1016/S0168-6445(03)00047-0/full
Bacterial silver-resistance and the threat of superbugs which is rapidly narrowing the "window of opportunity" for microcidal/antibiotic usage is the understandable looming concern in official health policy circles for having colloidal silver use restricted as an unregulated product. I don't doubt it's also the 'joke' in American Biotech Labs' naming of their popular product "ASAP".
After writing an initial article on colloidal silver, I met with a barrage of biting retorts here at this blog. It piqued my curiosity. The editor of "Educate Yourself" website, Ken Adachi, launched an attack not only on me but on Dr. Joseph Mercola (http://www.mercola.com) suggesting that Dr. Mercola was ignorantly uninformed for warning his readers that CS could provoke "a severe cytokine storm". Adachi takes credit for a retraction of that statement by Dr. Mercola –a situation of even greater concern and curiosity. The "cytokine storm", which is an overreaction of the inflammatory response of the immune system is considered the cause of death in the 1918 Spanish Flu of the "healthy adult" population between 20-40. Mr. Adachi did not simply sqeal like a man getting his pockets picked. He invented an accusation that I'm a "pharmaceutical shill", that Dr. Mercola is uninformed and under his influence, and that numerous "followers" of his loyally littered my blog with propaganda, to the point of opening false email accounts in my name. I figure I must be 'over the target', and that was the first salvo.
But if YOU don't DIE, then WE can't have a PANDEMIC, eh?
Since the time of publishing my 'Colloidal Silver' article here on the blog and the subsequent reaction, I've been following the trail of some of the CS peddlars. The corridors advance down paperless pathways to areas of 'guilt by association', and the implications are potentially enormous and dangerous to follow but more than that, the layers of deception are preventively daunting and confusing as is ever the case. Such is the war upon you. "All war is deception" –Sun Tzu.
Excerpts from the link above, regarding ingested colloidal silver:
.."silver nanoparticles can make adhesive interactions with cellular membranes and produce highly reactive and toxic radicals like reactive oxygen species which will cause inflammation and destroy cells like mitochondria.."
.."Silver affects denitrification bacteria such strongly that, in reality, disrupts the bacterium driven environmental denitrification processes.." [necessary in balancing microbial mitigation of the ecosystem; no real ecologist could support silver microbecides in the environment, and no real doctor/healer or health authority could support it in You beyond a critical life-saving measure]
..[nanosilver] can enter through the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in large motorneurones in the brain stem and spinal cord, neurons in cerebellar nuclei and glia…it is now known that the biological half-life of silver in the CNS is longer than in other organs.."
"It is known and acknowledged that long-term use of colloidal silver or silver salts..deposit metallic silver under the skin and abdominal viscera…manic depressive psychosis will develop at about the same time if not a short time after cutaneous argyria has been diagnosed. It leads to a ruptured aortic aneurysm and finally death."
.."It shows toxic effects on human-friendly microbes..[in the environment]. These organisms deliver many crucial nutrients which are most essential in soil formation.."
Making "silver proteins"
"The fungus, Apergillus flavus when challenged with silver nitrate solution accumulated silver nanoparticles on the surface of its cell wall in 72 h. These nanoparticles [were] dislodged by ultrasonication… X-ray diffraction spectrum of the nanoparticles confirmed the formation of metallic silver… The spectroscopy..confirmed the presence of protein as the stabilizing agent surrounding the silver nanoparticles… The use of fungus for silver nanoparticle synthesis offers the benefits of eco-friendliness and amenability for large-scale production… such microorganisms are recently found as possible..nanofactories…" http://www.scribd.com/doc/17219305/Biosynthesis-of-Silver-Nano

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TdSp3hyuHk&feature=related ( 10 parts, complete)
The film opens with historical scenes of the Salk polio vaccine, declared the greatest victory of modern public health practice, only polio is not contagious. The cause is systemic poisoning by chemicals and radiation. It's a type of 'flu' that can, if severe, result in paralysis and death. Early neurologists of the Victorian era understood polio/paralysis as a brain and central nervous -cns- "infection". Yale researcher David Bodian (in the 1940s) flatly called it encephalitis "in every case".
The nutshell on polio: In 1902, the medical data collected in Europe on the illness for over three decades was finally published in the United States, including the long-term degenerative 'sequelae' which is called post-polio syndrome today (PPS, weakness, brain 'fog', myalgia, "aging", etc.). Before WWI, the Rothschild's hospital in NYC became a center for polio research and treatment while this 'phenomenon' of paralysis was hardly known to the broader medical community. Results of thousands of case studies were published by the Hospital of Joint Diseases' most prominent practitioner, founder and world polio expert, Dr. Henry Frauenthal, who plunged to his death in 1927 from the top of the 7-story hospital building. For many years of its expansion(1919 to 1925), the Hospital for Joint Diseases was guided by its young president, Lewis L. Strauss (Kuhn, Loeb & Co. partner) who later became the executive chair of the Atomic Energy Commission during the mid-1950s when the polio vaccine was given to the public.
Poliovirus discovery, credited to Karl Landsteiner in Vienna in 1908, was subsequently confirmed by Simon Flexner, director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York City,who went on to lead the nation's research effort during the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918. During the same time frame (earlier, autumn 1917), his younger brother Bernard, known as an "ardent Zionist", led a Red Cross mission to Romania which routed supply trains across Siberia to Russia's capital, Petrograd, in the weeks before the Bolshevik revolution. Bernard, founding member of the CFR, and signer of the Paris Peace accords for the Zionist Organization of America, spearheaded Nation-building for the Zionists in Palestine during the 20s and selective relocation for displaced Jewish scholars making their exodus out of Germany in 1933. Their younger brother Abraham, who wrote the Flexner Report (1910) which completely 'reformed' medical education in the U.S., went on to serve as president of both Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations' General Education Board(s). In 1930, Abraham Flexner founded Princeton's Institute of Advanced Study, where many displaced scholars found an institutional home, including Albert Einstein, John von Neumann and Eugene Wigner, 3 key persons in the making of the Atom Bomb. After WW2, J. Robert Oppenheimer became the director at Princeton IAS, and Lewis L. Strauss was its Board of Directors chairman.
The Rockefeller Institute also opened a Princeton, N.J. facility prior to U.S. involvement in WWI to specifically study animal diseases and perform field testing –cited in the blog (Pandemic Unfolding) as supervising the 'swine flu' experiments that inserted a human influenza virus into an infectious 'swine' flu bacterium in 1937. At the time of the Spanish Flu outbreak (Feb-Mar 1918), however, The Rockefeller Foundation's administrator and chemobiologist, Frederick Gates, was in Fort Riley Kansas overseeing a meningitis vaccine program for the troops, perhaps a major contributor to the deaths on base. Influenza is caused by systemic poisoning, vaccine or not. Any number of viruses may be involved, just as in polio, there as a crisis-response. Adjuvants and additives were possibly much more deadly in earlier vaccines, like "Freund's Complete Adjuvant" which was quickly discontinued after mass inoculations, as was silicone. Today the adjuvant squalene is known as a trigger in multiple and horrific auto-immune reactions in the complex of Gulf War Syndrome illness. In the film linked above, producer and health practitioner Gary Null looks at the tragic consequences of Shaken Baby Syndrome as another result of vaccine-induced damage.
After the 1976 swine flu vaccine debacle, a number of public statements by physicians were published in reports by Eleanor McBean and Ida Honorof, including this, from Dr. Robert M. Simpson:
"Immunization programs against flu, measles, mumps and polio may actually be seeding humans with RNA to form proviruses which will then become latent cells throughout the body…some of these could be molecules in search of a disease, which under proper conditions become activated…"
…that is, if you survive the inoculations. Vaccines bypass not only the natural defenses of the immune system, but as the previous post would indicate, they bypass the natural regulation of the brain. In other words, vaccines are an attack upon the human brain. Flexner, Landsteiner, Salk, Sabin, George Merck, Maurice Hilleman, and all the creators of vaccines have been imposing the war strategy of Protocol No. 5 "to debilitate the public mind". Last century's polio researchers may not have had an elegant biological explanation, but they did understand the nature of the damage.
Dis-ease Begins In The Brain

Have you heard that Influenza is not contagious?…perhaps no one has explained it adequately, but the work of Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer and his German New Medicine illustrates how this is so.
Dr. Hamer has developed a brilliant system of diagnoses with the use of CT (computerized tomography, radiograph) scanning based on his personal experience with cancer. Against considerable odds of persecution and imprisonment, the German New Medicine is "standing traditional medicine on its head". Literally, one thinks. The New Medicine embraces a comprehensive approach of brain-directed injury and healing that employs the total resources of an organism's biological 'stuff' in the process we call disease. The brain displays the initial 'injury', what Hamer calls the "HH" or "Hamer's seat", as an energetic disturbance on a radiograph. The affected area of the brain highlights the corresponding organ(s) where an injury develops (lesion, ulcer, tumor, etc.) and a healing crisis ensues.
The cause of tissue/organ injury results from a "conflict shock" –great emotional stress– that begins what the doctor calls the "Dirk Hamer Syndrome" (DHS) named for his son who was murdered, initiating his own personal conflict-shock which led to cancer within a matter of 3 months.
Through this crisis, and considerable experience as a physician, Dr. Hamer gained his insight. Fear, grief and intense emotion, whether sudden or chronic, avoidable or unavoidable, has everything to do with it. Emotions are the 'chooser' of the time/place of illness. Disease returns when the emotional causes of it remain. "Biological conflict-shock is not a complex Freudian abstraction; it is a real life conflict that is very acute, traumatic and usually isolating (not easy to discuss or mull over with others)…Typically, it is life-threatening or fear-inducing news that causes this kind of shock. Hence, the sadly self-fulfilling aspect of a [disease].."
According to New Medicine "every disease has a two-phased occurrence", described as "cold" and "warm". Cold being the "conflict-active" phase, the initiating sequence, and Warm being the "conflict-resolved", or healing, phase. Dr. Hamer's english-language website, http://www.newmedicine.ca/overview.php, explains:.."traditional medical practice has not correctly recognized a single disease. The healing-phase (e.g. 'grippe' or flu) in the cold diseases was either overlooked or misdiagnosed as a separate disease…These cold and warm diseases were not individual diseases but actually one of the two phases of one illness. Moreover, the cold phase is always first and the warm is always the second."
"Dr. Hamer states that the biology of humans or animals is neither senseless nor without a system; there are no meaningless or random cancerous growths and no senseless or randomly occurring microbes…The brain directs all microbes. The immune system, traditionally imagined as a sort of army in the body fighting malignant cancerous cells and malignant [proliferating] microbes in a great battle, does not exist in this sense…no disease need be fatal."…"Microbes, our helpers and companions, are directed by the brain. Microbes have worked for us, not against us, as faithful servants over umpteen billions of years of evolution…All microbes are more or less specialized, not only in view of the organs they work on, but also in the way and style in which they work.."
"Viruses are simply construction or reconstruction workers. They bring about significant swelling and refill ulcers and cellular substance losses.."
"Bacteria function as clean-up workers.."
"Fungi and mycobacteria are a destruction crew, i.e. they destroy..tumors.."
"The Spanish have coined a term for the German New Medicine; they call it La Medicina Sagrada (the Sacred Medicine)…nature is orderly…every occurrence in nature is meaningful…"
The Displaced Scholars

In 1933, with Hitler's rise to power, thousands of Jewish "scholars" and professionals immediately packed out of Germany. No true accounting of the numbers or "rescue" organizations appears to have been compiled and the refugees represented by this movement that lasted into 1941 is an intangible transfer of professional practitioners of the sciences. By appearances and the testimonials of individuals who benefitted, the hand-selection of applicants and placement within other countries looks strategic, indeed. The process began in World War I. Institutions such as the New School of Social Research, founded in 1918 New York City, were crafted expressly for "refugee scholars".
Between 1930 and 1933, new institutions for the professions were being founded to receive the incoming scholars. Abraham Flexner founded Princeton's Insitute For Advanced Study, recruiting the scientists John von Neumann, Eugene Wigner and Albert Einstein before 1933. American universities established entirely new departments and staffed them with Jewish immigrants. Specialty committees and fundraisers, short and long term, placed untolled thousands in scattered communities across the U.S. In other countries, similar organization prevailed. Felix d'Herelle, who discovered properties of the bacteriophage, left the United States in 1933 to establish the Bacteriophage Institute in Tbilisi, USSR. A special project of mine is to help assess the volume and nature of this "movement" and how it affected the direction of scientific research.
Clear definition can be brought to bear on the development of nuclear weapons by refugee Jewish physicists, and bioweapons fit this pattern as well. Today's genetic research is drawn largely from the "Phage Group" leaders like Max Delbruck and Salvador Luria, themselves "displaced". They and their European associates were sponsored by rescue committees to develop this special kind of biological research science in the U.S. while other institutions like the Pasteur Institute networked abroad. My personal guesstimate is that tens of thousands of specialists were manuevered out of Germany and brought to the U.S. for the overt purpose of prosecuting World War II and the covert purpose of changing the course of global history, our social history in America, and the genetic future of our species.
This is a partial list of some of the better known longterm rescue organizations:
