Science is what we use to explain anomalies, to elucidate mysteries, to shed light on unexplained occurrences. For example, there is no great need for a scientific explanation of the sun rising in the morning. If one day the sun were to rise in the afternoon, however, that is an anomaly which would definitely require a scientific explanation. But there is no need to explain the normal everyday occurrences. We don’t need a new understanding if there is nothing new to understand.

Mistral et Lafayette pour les Russes, Sukhoi et Mikoyan pour les Français
Posted by seumasach on February 14, 2010
C’est bien cette échange d’équipement avec les Russes. Les Français devront acheter des Su-35 et des Mig-35, et laisser les Russes acheter des Mistral et des La Fayette.
La France et les autres pays d’Europe devront être autant ami avec les Russes qu’avec les Americain. C’est le temps de finalement sortir des ombres de l’empire, on ne veut pas devenir le Vichy des Americains, comme Tony Blair en Bretagne, ou le Mexique.

While many will no doubt see it as a source of consternation, the election of Viktor Yanukovych as president of Ukraine is really a cause for celebration. The defeat of the leaders of the Orange Revolution, Viktor Yushchenko and Yulia Tymoshenko, is actually good news.

The police in El Salvador have begun an investigation into whether a man suspected of leading a trafficking ring involving Central American and Caribbean women and girls is also a legal adviser to the Americans charged with trying to take 33 children out of Haiti without permission.

WHO Admits The World Has Lost Their Trust
Posted by seumasach on February 13, 2010
Almost everyone that reads the papers, watches the TV or listens to the radio has now heard that the H1N1 pandemic did not pan out as was anticipated, and is causing the World Health Organization to come under fire by health officials that spent billions of dollars on vaccines that are now useless.

Very Low Intensity Microwave Radiation from Mobile Phones Inhibits DNA Repair Processes in Human Stem Cells.
Posted by seumasach on February 13, 2010
A landmark paper by Igor Belayev’s team at Stockholm University has
reported that very low intensity microwave radiation from mobile phones
inhibits DNA repair processes in human stem cells.
By placing a mobile phone at one meter distance from human stem cells
in petri dishes (SAR = 0.037 W/Kg), they found a significant reduction in
53BP1 foci. These foci are a measure of DNA repair in cells with double
strand DNA damage. The damage was greater to stem cells (derived from adipose
tissue in humans) than in fibroblasts (differentiated cells). Stem cells did not
adapt over time – and the damage was done within one hour of MW exposure.
Fibroblast cells were similarly affected (inhibited 52BP1 foci) but adapted over time.
The effects are carrier-frequency dependent. The effects occurred with GSM
exposure at 915 MHz, but not at 905 MHz. The failure to produce DNA repair
also occurred at the mobile phone UTMS carrier frequency of 1947 MHz.
Analysis of 53BP1 foci is the most sensitive technique to measure double-strand
DNA breaks in both unexposed cells and in cells exposued to cytotoxic agents.
In the authors’ words, “this represents a direct mechanistic link to epidemiological
data showing an association of MW exposure with increased cancer risk.” The
date obtained from human stem cells is of “utmost relevance for assessment
of possible health risks of MW exposure from mobile phones.” Most, if not all
adult tissues and organs including blood, skin and brain contain stem cells.
Therefore, “stem cells like blood cells and fibroblasts are always subjected to
exposure from mobile phones.”
With respect to children, because “almost all organs and tissues possess stem cells and stem
cells are more active in children, the possible relationship of chronic MW exposure and
various types of tumors and leukemia especially in children should be investigated.”
Perhaps this accounts for the Hardell et al data that report children are more at risk
from mobile phone use than adults, where the risk of glioma is more than 5-fold in
children but just more than 2-fold in adults.

US to Launch Fallujah-style Attack in Afghanistan

As US and British troops prepare to attack the town of Marjah in Afghanistan’s Helmand Province, military commanders and the media are openly comparing the operation to the November 2004 siege of Fallujah, one of the bloodiest war crimes of the Iraq war.

The winner takes all in Afghanistan
Posted by seumasach on February 12, 2010
The ascendancy of malleable Islamist forces also has its uses for the US’s containment strategy towards China (and Russia). Islamists lend themselves as a foreign policy instrument. The rise of Islamism in Afghanistan cannot but radicalize hot spots such as the North Caucasus, Kashmir and the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region in China.

The Nobel Peace Prize has a tradition. In the entire period from 1901 to 2009, it has never been awarded twice to any of its 97 individual recipients.
United States President Barack Obama is thus unlikely to win a second Nobel. Yet, in an historical perspective, Afghanistan promises to become the first country in which Islamists will have been ushered into power on the wave of America’s newfound smart power.
That too may only be the beginning. “Of course Afghanistan is not an island. There is no solution just within its borders,” North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen said at a security conference in Munich last weekend.
