Heart Disease And The Cholesterol Myth

Posted on July 30, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

More support for alternative medical theories and practice.
Another advocate for wariness regarding elevated cholesterol levels requiring statins or any other treatment.
Another article providing support for the importance of mainstream practitioners to access all relevant information and carefully filter the misinformation.

Ironically cholesterol drugs actually increase risk of heart attacks. Researchers in Hull, UK followed 114 heart failure patients who began taking cholesterol lowering drugs.(6)

“They found that for every point of decrease in serum cholesterol, there was a 36% increase in the risk of death within three years.”(7)

AGW – “What Is Cook’s Consensus?”

Posted on July 30, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

Much weight has been, and still is being applied, to the “97% consensus” claim, in order to support the “validity” of ‘humans are causing global warming’. This claim is in fact not valid, this post explains why.
An extract:

” I didn’t intend to follow up on this comment, but this morning I saw a quote from Dana Nuccitelli that was impossible to resist:

“We were always careful to say that while the survey involved 12,000 abstracts, the 97 percent consensus was among the ~4,000 abstracts that took a position on the cause of global warming (plus the roughly 1,400 of 2,100 self-rated papers taking a position). And we were careful to point out that the consensus was that ‘humans are causing global warming.

Nuccitelli says he and his co-authors always used a particular phrasing when describing their results. I must admit, that is true. They’ve always managed to say “humans cause global warming” with the implicit qualifier of “some” (that they knew nobody would pay attention to). It’s obvious they knew the limitations of their results and didn’t want to be accused of lying.”

The Birth of a Police State: UK Police to be Granted Sweeping New Powers

Posted on July 30, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

This is no run-of-the-mill legislation and intention.
The title says it all.
A clear warning that individuals freedom is seriously under attack.
Proof that all is not well with the world, that democracy is a word only. Maybe a state of mind, but not a state of existence.

Australian Politics – Humour and Wit. (The COW AND THE ICE CREAM )

Posted on July 28, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

I think this is worth posting – many a true word spoken in jest!

[Everyone loves ice-cream].

A persuasive example of how an election is won.

 But first ponder this  :

 Ever notice how all the instruments that search for “intelligent life” point away from Earth?

The COW AND THE ICE CREAM
ONE OF THE BEST THEORIES OF WHY KEVIN MIGHT POSSIBLY STILL WIN THE NEXT ELECTION

–>From a teacher in the south-west – –

“We are worried about ‘the cow’ when it is all about the ‘Ice Cream.

‘The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching year 3 students.

The last Parliamentary election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class captain. We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote. To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.
The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids.

I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he got lots of parental support.

I had never seen Olivia’s parents.

The day arrived when they were to make their speeches.

Jamie went first.

He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place.
He ended by promising to do his very best.

Everyone applauded and he sat down.

Now is was Olivia’s turn to speak.

Her speech was concise. She said, “If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream.” She sat down.

The class went wild. “Yes! Yes! We want ice cream.”

She surely would say more. She did not have to.

A discussion followed. How did she plan to pay for the ice cream? She wasn’t sure. But no one pursued that question. They took her at her word.

Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it…She didn’t know.

The class really didn’t care. All they were thinking about was ice cream…

Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide.

Every time Kevin and later Julia opened their mouth they offered ice cream and many Australian voters reacted like nine year old’s.

They wanted ice cream.

The rest of the voters knew they were going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess.”

This is the ice cream Kevin and Julia promised us!

cowicecream

Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone that they have not first taken away from someone else.
How many of us voted for the ice cream?

That my friend, is how Labor got elected last time!

By those who wanted everything free.

Let’s hope it doesn’t happen again

The IPCC has a real pack of trouble on its hands

Posted on July 27, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

Some people and organizations are starting to use their “little grey cells”!

An extract: “On a final note, the problem of large government climate change assessments being scientifically outdated even before they are released is not atypical of “group science,” which is hugely expensive, grossly inefficient, and often is designed to justify policy. We noted the same thing in our comments on the recent draft report of the U.S. effort at assessing climate change impacts, the “National Climate Assessment” (NCA), stating:
To the extent that the recent literature ultimately produces a more accurate estimate of the equilibrium climate sensitivity than does the climate model average, it means that, in general, all of the projections of future climate change given in the NCA are, by default, some 40% too large (too rapid) and the associated (and described) impacts are gross overestimates.

Our recommendation is that an alternative set of projections be developed for all topics discussed in the NCA, incorporating the latest scientific findings on the lowered value of equilibrium climate sensitivity. Without the addition of the new projections, the NCA will be obsolete on the day of its official release.

And to think, these national and international assessments are undertaken to justify policy actions.
Scary thought.“

Fed Economist Fired for Investigating Suspicious 9-11 Cash Transfers; and Steve Keen Exposes Financial Fallacies

Posted on July 26, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

What can one say? Am I stupid for believing this to be conclusive proof of insider knowledge and therefore insider involvement in at least not attempting to prevent the disaster?
Or are the people who stick to their beliefs that a few Islamic militant amateurs planned and executed the attacks without insider collusion, stupid? Well, what do you think?

The Israeli Supreme Court Ordered the Israeli Government to Investigate the Number of Children Currently Suffering From EHS

Posted on July 25, 2013 by Ken McMurtrie

Is the truth emerging slowly?

Stop Smart Meters Australia

Dafna Tachover, Jul 22, 2013

On July 18, 2013, the Israeli Supreme Court ordered the Israeli Government to investigate how many children in Israel already suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). The Government must submit the result of its investigation to the court by November 16, 2013.

The Order was issued in response to a Petition to the Israeli Supreme Court to ban Wi-Fi in schools submitted in August, 2012.

This order is the result of an extensive brief written by Attorney Dafna Tachover and submitted to the Court on June 13, 2013. A 65-page brief, supported by 640 pages of appendices, emphasized the problem of EHS and claimed that it is unreasonable to expose children to WiFi when it is proven to cause sickness.

In the Supreme Court hearing, when the Govt. was asked what it would do if a child with EHS attended a school, the attorney for the…

” the science is too uncertain to justify a single estimate of future rises.”

The Economist reports on IPCC CO2 Sensitivity as Friends of Science Issues a Statement on claims of 97% Scientific Consensus on Global Warming and Climate Change

GLOBAL WARMING / CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX

Recent comments by President Obama
and high profile eco-activists like Canadian David Suzuki stating that there is a 97% scientific consensus on global warming and climate change are misleading the public, say Friends of Science. Four key studies on  consensus show that scientists only agree that human activity has caused some warming – not dangerous warming; meanwhile The Economist is reporting IPCC draft estimates of climate  sensitivity of CO2 saying; “climate sensitivity may have been overestimated in the past and that the science is too uncertain to justify a single estimate of future rises.”
