Le sénateur Alex Türk très inquiet au sujet des nanopuces, de la géolocalisation, biométrie (2010)

Alex Türk (ex-président de la CNIL) nous avertissait aussi sur le « Big Brother » qui se mettait en place dès 2011, et regardez où nous en sommes aujourd’hui…

Quand je vous parlais de ma peur des nanos, eh bien, c’est bien parce que j’avais en tête ce projet fou d’Hewlett Packard de créer de la « poussière intelligente » ou « smart dust », composée de milliards de milliards de petites sondes de tailles nanos reliées entre elles par les ondes… qui pourront tout capter, sons, vidéos, etc.

Vous pensez que c’est de la science-fiction… ? Détrompez-vous… Voici où nous en étions en 2009 :

Alors imaginez de nos jours, ou pire, dans 10 ans…

Et c’est maintenant qu’il faut réagir et légiférer… S'il n’est pas déjà trop tard… Avant de perdre totalement le contrôle sur cette technologie....

Alors que d’ores et déjà on nous promet un « Intranet » géant pour la France (et le monde !), les propos d’Alex Türk (qui a été débarqué de la CNIL) prennent tout leurs sens. La seconde partie de la vidéo traite de ce sujet, ainsi que l’article du Nouvel Obs de l’époque retrouvé par Chalouette.

Alex Türk dénonce Big Brother sur France Info par jackyshow38

Dans son livre "la Vie privée en péril" (éd. Odile Jacob), le président de la Cnil Alex Türk s'inquiète de la multiplication des outils de surveillance, souvent invisibles, difficiles à contrôler. Une atteinte à notre intimité. Entretien.

Article publié dans "le Nouvel Observateur" du 7 avril 2011.

Les citoyens "sont aujourd'hui sous contrôle", écrivez-vous. Un constat sombre pour un homme chargé de veiller au respect de la fameuse loi informatique et libertés, censée protéger chacun d'entre nous contre le fichage abusif...

- J'ai voulu lancer un cri d'alarme : soyons clairs, il y a un danger mortel pour les libertés individuelles. Les gens n'imaginent pas à quel point ils sont surveillés, profilés, leurs goûts analysés, leurs habitudes disséquées... Des milliards d'informations ont été collectées, et ce phénomène croît à une vitesse insensée. On a longtemps redouté Big Brother, mais on peut se rebeller contre un système centralisé. Or ce qui nous attend est bien pire. Nous assistons à la multiplication des nano-Brothers - capteurs, puces électroniques dans les cartes et les portables... -, beaucoup plus redoutables car les outils de surveillance sont multiples, disséminés, parfois invisibles, donc bien plus difficiles à contrôler. On ne sait pas qui collecte les données, où elles sont entreposées, pour combien de temps, ni dans quel but. La biométrie (empreintes électroniques digitales, oculaires...), la vidéosurveillance, la géolocalisation, la collecte des données en ligne, c'est un cocktail explosif.

Quelle est cette menace concrètement ?

- Je suis président de la Cnil depuis sept ans. A mon arrivée, le principal problème était la multiplication des fichiers régaliens liés à la sécurité après le 11-Septembre. Aujourd'hui, nous ne sommes plus à l'ère du casier judiciaire et des fichiers de police, mais dans celle du fichage de masse et du flicage ludique. Avec internet et les applications de la téléphonie mobile, les gens donnent spontanément un tas d'informations qui s'ajoutent à toutes celles déjà collectées sans cesse dans leur vie quotidienne. Aujourd'hui, un citoyen est forcément fiché quelque part. Et souvent dans de multiples bases. Le danger, c'est que, potentiellement, tout peut être interconnecté. Avec le risque de la fin de l'anonymat, un cauchemar absolu.

C'est le flicage "invisible" qui vous tourmente le plus.

- Depuis deux ans, je constate que la géolocalisation se développe à une vitesse affolante. Les outils de traçage ont proliféré avec la miniaturisation des technologies, notamment les téléphones 3G. Nous allons vers un monde de la surveillance invisible. Dans la poche, nous avons désormais des mini-ordinateurs dont la puissance est égale à ceux qui tenaient dans une grande pièce il y a vingt-cinq ans ! Téléphoner n'est plus qu'une fonction annexe de ces nouveaux appareils dont le but est de vous ficher et de vous localiser à tout moment. La totale transparence, c'est le rêve des multinationales, obsédées par idée de profiler leurs clients. Quand j'étais jeune, on souhaitait échapper au regard des parents, ne jamais dire où l'on était. Aujourd'hui, il faut s'afficher. C'est tendance. Les sociétés en profitent pour récupérer des infos personnelles : vos goûts, des photos, des vidéos... Elles ont inventé le Big Brother convivial, le capitalisme copain : elles ont besoin de ces données pour prospérer, mais vous amènent à les leur donner en vous faisant croire que c'est dans votre intérêt. C'est le modèle Facebook. Ce système ingénieux ne serait pas blâmable s'il était lisible et contrôlé. Mais ce n'est pas le cas. La notion de consentement est floue, et vous n'avez pas de droit de suite : fermer votre compte ne garantit pas la disparition des données. Les grandes entreprises du numérique vantent la transparence, mais agissent derrière un rideau de fumée.

Mais vous avez pour mission de contrôler leurs activités... La Cnil ne vient-elle pas de condamner Google à 100.000 euros d'amende pour avoir collecté des données sur les réseaux Wi-Fi via ses systèmes de géolocalisation Google Street View, Maps et Latitude ?

- C'est une amende record. Et bien la preuve que nous agissons, même si nous n'avons évidemment pas accès aux millions de fichiers stockés partout dans le monde. Dans cette affaire, Google France plaide l'erreur, mais je n'y crois guère. Cela fait des années que cette entreprise recueille des infos privées (e-mails, historiques de navigation...), transitant par les bornes Wi-Fi. Elle a pu le faire grâce aux véhicules lui permettant de prendre des photos des rues pour les cartographies. Si c'est une erreur, comment ne s'en est-elle pas aperçue avant ? J'ai l'impression que les Google & co ont un sentiment d'impunité. Nous devons leur faire comprendre que nous savons ce qu'ils font. La Cnil doit être en vigilance permanente. Elle est aujourd'hui la seule autorité du monde à avoir un service d'expertise technologique. Depuis quatre ans, il observe le fonctionnement des sites web et sera bientôt doté d'un laboratoire permettant de tester tous les nouveaux matériels. Pour être vraiment efficace, il faudrait que nos moyens soient doublés. Je propose une taxe d'environ 60 euros sur les entreprises et collectivités locales. Il faudrait aussi augmenter le contrôle et adapter les textes, aujourd'hui totalement dépassés par les nouvelles technologies. Le droit à l'oubli numérique, par exemple, doit être enfin consacré. Évidemment, il convient que la législation soit mondiale. La plupart des données personnelles sont en effet collectées et conservées par de grandes entreprises étrangères, souvent américaines. Il faut que l'Europe ait le courage de convaincre les États-Unis d'instaurer des règles. Elle doit prendre les devants lors du G8 du numérique, qui aura lieu en mai. Il y a urgence, car si l'on n'agit pas maintenant la notion d'intimité ne sera bientôt plus qu'un lointain souvenir.

U.S. Distrust in Media Hits New High

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Americans' distrust in the media hit a new high this year, with 60% saying they have little or no trust in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly. Distrust is up from the past few years, when Americans were already more negative about the media than they had been in years prior to 2004.

The record distrust in the media, based on a survey conducted Sept. 6-9, 2012, also means that negativity toward the media is at an all-time high for a presidential election year. This reflects the continuation of a pattern in which negativity increases every election year compared with the year prior. The current gap between negative and positive views -- 20 percentage points -- is by far the highest Gallup has recorded since it began regularly asking the question in the 1990s. Trust in the media was much higher, and more positive than negative, in the years prior to 2004 -- as high as 72% when Gallup asked this question three times in the 1970s.

On leaving the Guardian - By Glenn Greenwald
October 31, 2013, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/oct/31/glenn-greenwald-leaving-guardian

Reporting the NSA story hasn't been easy, but it's always been fulfilling. It's what journalism at its crux is about, and we must protect that. I'm leaving the Guardian in order to work with Pierre Omidyar, Laura Poitras, Jeremy Scahill and soon-to-be-identified others on building a new media organization. Leaving the Guardian was not an easy choice, but this was a dream opportunity that was impossible to decline. The new site will be up and running reasonably soon. I'll also periodically post on my personal blog – here – with an active comment section, as well as on our pre-launch temporary blog. Reporting the NSA story has never been easy, but it's always been invigorating and fulfilling. It's exactly why one goes into journalism and, in my view, is what journalism at its crux is about. I really urge everyone to take note of, and stand against, [the] sustained and unprecedented attack on press freedoms and the news gathering process in the US. That same menacing climate is now manifest in the UK as well. There are extremist though influential factions in both countries which want to criminalize not only whistleblowing but the act of journalism itself. I'm not leaving because of those threats – if anything, they make me want to stay and continue to publish here – but I do believe it's urgent that everyone who believes in basic press freedoms unite against this. Allowing journalism to be criminalized is in nobody's interest other than the states which are trying to achieve that.

Rabobank Fined $1.1 Billion Over Libor, Euribor Manipulation
October 29, 2013, BloombergBusinessweek
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2013-10-29/rabobank-fined-1-dot-1-billion-over-libor-euribor...

Rabobank Groep, the co-operative formed in 1898 to lend to Dutch farmers, was fined 774 million euros ($1.1 billion) and the chairman resigned as the scandal over the rigging of benchmark interest rates ensnared a fifth firm. The Utrecht, Netherlands-based lender entered into an agreement with the Justice Department to accept responsibility for manipulation of Libor and Euribor to avoid prosecution. The fines are the largest-ever against the bank and second-largest over manipulation of the London interbank offered rate. Global investigations into banks’ attempts to manipulate the benchmarks for profit have led to fines and settlements for Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS and ICAP. Rabobank derivatives and money-market traders influenced the lender’s submissions to benefit their positions linked to Libor and conspired with employees of other banks to rig rates from May 2005 to January 2011. More than 500 attempts were made by Rabobank to manipulate Libor, according to the regulator. Thirty current and former employees of the Dutch lender were involved, Rabobank executive board member Sipko Schat said today. Five of them were fired, he said, while 14 are still working for the bank. The lender is also clawing back 4.2 million euros in bonuses, Rabobank said in a statement. The manipulation “directly affected the rates referenced by financial products held by and on behalf of companies and investors around the world,” Valerie Parlave, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington field office, said in a statement.

Spain colluded in NSA spying on its citizens, Spanish newspaper reports
October 30, 2013, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/30/spain-colluded-nsa-spying-citizens-spanish-el-mundo-us

The widespread surveillance of Spanish citizens by the US National Security Agency, which caused outrage when it was reported this week, was the product of a collaboration with Spain's intelligence services, according to one Spanish newspaper. Spanish agents not only knew about the work of the NSA but also facilitated it, El Mundo reports. An NSA document entitled "Sharing computer network operations cryptologic information with foreign partners" reportedly shows how the US relies on the collaboration of many countries to give it access to intelligence information, including electronic metadata. According to the document seen by El Mundo, the US classifies cooperation with various countries on four different levels. In the first group – "Comprehensive Cooperation" – are the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. The second group – "Focused Cooperation" – of which Spain is a member, includes 19 countries, all of them European, apart from Japan and South Korea. The third group – "Limited cooperation" – consists of countries such as France, Israel, India and Pakistan; while the fourth – "Exceptional Cooperation" – is made up of countries that the US considers to be hostile to its interests. The NSA documents [suggest] the Spanish intelligence services were working hand in hand with the NSA, as were other foreign agencies. But if there was any doubt as to who held the upper hand, the NSA documents make clear that any collaboration was always to serve the needs of protecting American interests.

Police State Britain

Stephen Lendman
Activist Post
Britain's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) operates like NSA. They work cooperatively. They're out-of-control rogue agencies.
They spy on their own populations. They do it globally. They conduct espionage. They collect enormous amounts of personal information. They do it illegally.
Obama wages war on freedom. He targets whistleblowers and investigative journalists exposing government wrongdoing. So does Britain. It equates doing so with terrorism.
London's Guardian is threatened. Its offices were raided. Hard drive stored information was destroyed. Its editor, Alan Rusbridger, was warned. Cease and desist or else...

Study: 290% Increased Risk of Brain Tumor After 10 Years of Cellphone Use

Anthony Gucciardi
Activist Post

How long have you been using your cellphone? Using a mobile device for any length of time is damaging to some degree, but new research is shedding light on just how significant of an influence extended cellphone use has on the brain.

In a newly-released study conducted at the Örebro Hospita in Sweden, it was revealed that 10 years of cellphone use resulted in an average 290% increased risk of brain tumor development. Interestingly, the tumor development was found on the side of the head in which the cellphone was most used.

Abstract

We performed two case-control studies on brain tumours diagnosed during 1 January 1997 to 30 June 2000 and 1 July 2000 to 31 December 2003, respectively. Living cases and controls aged 20-80 years were included. An additional study was performed on deceased cases with a malignant brain tumour using deceased controls. Pooled results for glioma yielded for ipsilateral use of mobile phone odds ratio (OR)=2.9, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.8-4.7 in the >10 years latency group. The corresponding result for cordless phone was OR=3.8, 95% CI=1.8-8.1. OR increased statistically significant for cumulative use of wireless phones per 100h and per year of latency. For high-grade glioma ipsilateral use of mobile phone gave OR=3.9, 95% CI=2.3-6.6 and cordless phone OR=5.5, 95% CI=2.3-13 in the >10 years latency group. Heredity for brain tumour gave OR=3.4, 95% CI=2.1-5.5 for glioma. There was no interaction with use of wireless phones. X-ray investigation of the head gave overall OR=1.3, 95% CI=1.1-1.7 for glioma without interaction with use of wireless phones or heredity. In conclusion use of mobile and cordless phone increased the risk for glioma with highest OR for ipsilateral use, latency >10 years and third tertile of cumulative use in hours. In total, the risk was highest in the age group <20 a="" first="" for="" of="" p="" phone.="" use="" wireless="" years=""> Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

Glyphosate: Chronic Disease Degeneration

Glyphosate is assumed to be safe for humans. As a result, it’s become the world’s best-selling herbicide. However, a groundbreaking study documents that it may actually be fueling the plague of chronic & immune diseases, including cancer and autism. This study documents the underlying systemic damage produced by glyphosate, then discusses how that damage leads to specific diseases.
by Heidi Stevenson

This article is split into three parts. This is Part 1, Glyphosate: Chronic Disease Degeneration. It gives an overview and then goes on to discuss the primary findings of a new study about the human effects of Monsanto’s herbicide, glyphosate. Part 2, titled Glyphosate: Disease Creator, discusses specific diseases, applying the basic harms produced by glyphosate and showing how they lead to each disease. Part 3, titled Glyphosate: A Trajectory of Human Misery, discusses glyphosate’s use throughout the world and then draws conclusions.

Monsanto’s herbicide, glyphosate, has become virtually ubiquitous based on a presumption of harmlessness in humans.  In spite of noxious and aggressive superweeds that have developed in response and a host of reports citing harm and potential harm to the environment and farm animals, this premise of innocence has resulted in its use nearly everywhere. Because of that same image of innocence, its use has multiplied astronomically.
However, a new report from the journal Entropy turns the proposition of glyphosate’s innocence in human health upside down. An exhaustive review of existing research in which 287 studies were reviewed, coupled with irrefutable logic, produces a frightening picture of the reality: Glyphosate may be the single most devastating substance ever introduced into agribusiness. As the authors, Anthony Samsel and Stephanie Seneff, concluded:

Glyphosate is likely to be pervasive in our food supply, and, contrary to being essentially nontoxic, it may in fact be the most biologically disruptive chemical in our environment.

The range of diseases that can be associated with glyphosate is frightening. Its biological effects are so primary that virtually every bodily system—if not every one—is adversely affected. The authors state:

5 Million Farmers Sue Monsanto for $7.7 Billion

Anthony Gucciardi
Activist Post
Launching a lawsuit against the very company that is responsible for a farmer suicide every 30 minutes, 5 million farmers are now suing Monsanto for as much as 6.2 billion euros (around 7.7 billion US dollars). The reason? As with many other cases, such as the ones that led certain farming regions to be known as the ‘suicide belt’, Monsanto has been reportedly taxing the farmers to financial shambles with ridiculous royalty charges. The farmers state that Monsanto has been unfairly gathering exorbitant profits each year on a global scale from “renewal” seed harvests, which are crops planted using seed from the previous year’s harvest.
The practice of using renewal seeds dates back to ancient times, but Monsanto seeks to collect massive royalties and put an end to the practice. Why? Because Monsanto owns the very patent to the genetically modified seed, and is charging the farmers not only for the original crops, but the later harvests as well...

Children of the Corn: GMO Sterility and Spermicides

William Engdahl wrote in March of 2010 about a USDA funded project to create a GM corn that sterilizes people. GMO, glyphosate and population reduction.
One long-standing project of the US Government has been to perfect a genetically-modified variety of corn, the diet staple in Mexico and many other Latin American countries. The corn has been field tested in tests financed by the US Department of Agriculture along with a small California bio-tech company named Epicyte.  Announcing his success at a 2001 press conference, the president of Epicyte, Mitch Hein, pointing to his GMO corn plants, announced, “We have a hothouse filled with corn plants that make anti-sperm antibodies.” 14
Hein explained that they had taken antibodies from women with a rare condition known as immune infertility, isolated the genes that regulated the manufacture of those infertility antibodies, and, using genetic engineering techniques, had inserted the genes into ordinary corn seeds used to produce corn plants. In this manner, they have produced a concealed contraceptive embedded in corn meant for human consumption. “Essentially, the antibodies are attracted to surface receptors on the sperm,” said Hein. “They latch on and make each sperm so heavy it cannot move forward. It just shakes about as if it was doing the lambada.”15 Hein claimed it was a possible solution to world “over-population.” The moral and ethical issues of feeding it to humans in Third World, poor countries without their knowing could [lead to global murder.]The questions raised by “[s]permicides hidden in GMO corn provided to starving Third World populations through the generosity of the Gates’ foundation, Rockefeller Foundation and Kofi Annan’s AGRA” are many and profound.
1. Isn’t GM technology directed beyond third world countries but at all countries in the world, and first and most heavily in the US?
2. Is there a relationship, since the introduction of GM-crops in the US, to how steeply birthrates in the US have fallen?
U.S. birthrates overall are at an all time low. Continuing a 12-year decline, the U.S. birth rate has dropped to the lowest level since national data have been available …  
Bt-corn was introduced in the US in 1996, three years before the dramatic decline began. “Some seven million acres were planted to Bt corn in 1997 with hybrids primarily from Mycogen, Novartis (formerly Ciba), and Northrup King.  Mycogen and Novartis both produce pharmaceutical contraceptives.
3. In the US and many other countries, despite consumer demand for labeling, the corporations involved have exerted tremendous pressure to keep GMOs unlabeled and are pushing the Codex agenda to keep all GMOs (internationally) unlabeled?

 

Toxin From Genetically Modified Crops Detected In Canadians’ Blood

Until now, scientists and multinational corporations promoting GM crops have maintained that Bt toxin poses no danger to human health as the protein breaks down in the human gut. But the presence of this toxin in human blood shows that this does not happen.
Eating GM corn, soy, and potatoes is perfectly safe, provided you don’t mind having a powerful toxin swirling in your bloodstream. Oh, and your unborn baby’s bloodstream as well. So says a debbie-downer peer-reviewed Canadian study, India Today reports:

Genetically Modified Food May Cause Long-Term Sterility

Want grandchildren? If so you might want to consider avoiding GMO (genetically modified organism) foods, which have recently been linked to long-term sterility, meaning sterility in second and third generations. This new study, conducted by the Russian equivalent of the US National Association for Gene Security, has not yet been published, but it’s anticipated that the details will be published later this summer. Published or not the findings of this study are scary and strange plus add to an already large collection of studies noting that GMO foods can cause health problems for children, plus problems related to fertility, birth weight of offspring and infant mortality.

 

This Common Food Causes Devastating Offspring Defects in New Research Study

I strongly believe that one of the most obvious clues about the danger of GMO foods are that just about EVERY species of animal that is offered a GMO food versus a non-GMO food will avoid the GMO one. Many times they will do this to the point of starvation, as they have an intuitive sense of the danger of this food.

 

Research Indicates That GMO Could Be a Cause of Infertility

Is it possible that the foods you eat are actually affecting your fertility and inhibiting your chances of getting pregnant? The answer is a resounding, “Yes,” according to dozens of research groups worldwide who have been studying the effects of Genetically Modified Organisms found in many of today’s most common foods.

 

NZ calls for ban on fertility-damaging soy-based baby formula

Yet another study showing that genetically modified foods cause sterility — this one in humans instead of just animals.
“Health and medical experts in New Zealand have called for a ban on soy-based infant formula after a recent mouse study suggested soy damages the reproductive tract and immune system. The US research, published in The Society for the Study of Reproduction, suggested that exposure to low levels of phytoestrogen during sensitive development stages of the female foetus through to puberty can [adversely] affect fertility in later years.”

Johnson & Johnson To Pay $2.2 Billion To Settle Deceptive Marketing Claims

For nearly a decade, various state and federal agencies have been looking into Johnson & Johnson’s marketing of the drugs Risperdal, Invega, Natrecor, and others, claiming the company was putting consumers at risk by paying kickbacks to doctors and pharmacists to suggest these drugs to patients and for pushing unapproved uses for these medications. Today, the Justice Dept. announced that J&J will pay out more than $2.2 billion to settle these claims.

Scientists finally admit H1N1 vaccine causes increased risk of Guillain-Barre syndrome

http://www.naturalnews.com/042770_Guillain-Barre_syndrome_H1N1_vaccines_toxic_effects.html#
A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) admits that the vaccine widely administered for H1N1, also known as "swine flu," is linked to causing neurological damage in the form of Guillain-Barre syndrome. The findings confirm several earlier studies in both the U.S. and U.K. that also linked the H1N1 vaccine to severe neurological damage.

Reuters Health reports that, for the new study, Philippe De Wals of Laval University in Quebec City and his colleagues evaluated rates of Guillain-Barre in Canadians during the six months following the initial roll out of H1N1 in Quebec. Upon review, the team says it observed a definite increase in Guillain-Barre cases associated with the vaccine.

For those who are unaware of what Guillain-Barre actually is, the condition is marked by an autoimmune reaction where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the nervous system as if it is a foreign invader, which can cause severe nerve inflammation, muscle weakness, paralysis, and even death. Guillain-Barre was also widely observed following the mass vaccination campaigns for swine flu back in 1976.

The Canadian study confirms what the U.K.'s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) determined about the H1N1 vaccine back in 2010. The agency, which is akin to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S., issued a public statement at that time admitting that the H1N1 vaccine is linked to "a slightly elevated risk of GBS." (http://www.naturalnews.com/030266_vaccines_nerve_disease.html)

The U.K.'s Health Protection Agency (HPA) also reportedly sent a confidential letter to roughly 600 senior neurologists back in 2009 warning them about the H1N1 vaccine's definitive link to Guillain-Barre. None of this important information, which was clearly meant to remain a secret, was distributed for public health purposes during that time. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk)

However, data gathered by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) following the massive roll out of H1N1 vaccines in the U.S. back in 2009 also linked the jab to Guillain-Barre. Though scientists and government authorities tried to downplay the findings and make them appear as though the risk of Guillain-Barre was inconsequential (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/04/100413151906.htm), the cat was out of the bag, as there was no denying that the H1N1 vaccine is clearly linked to neurological damage.

Just ask 14-year-old Jordan McFarland, a high school athlete from Alexandria, Virginia, who developed Guillain-Barre syndrome just hours after getting his H1N1 jab. Jordan reportedly suffered extreme weakness and inability to walk following the vaccine, and developed severe headaches and muscle spasms. The young boy even had to use a walker for several months in order to maintain some kind of mobility. (http://vactruth.com)

The Pentagon is looking for a drug that will erase bad memories.

The estimate is over over 300,000 soldiers are living with some form of PTSD, that's approximately 20% of vets.

What is the Pentagon looking for exactly?

Vitamin D 'may help slow ageing'

The King's team looked at white blood cells, which tend to experience faster rates of turnover - and faster shortening of telomeres - when the body's tissues are suffering more inflammation.
They looked at a total of 2,160 women aged between 18 and 79, and took a snapshot measurement of the levels of vitamin D in their bloodstream, comparing this to the length of the telomeres in their white blood cells.
They found that, after adjusting the results for the age of the volunteer, women with higher levels of vitamin D were more likely to have longer telomeres in these cells, and vice versa.

75% of physicians in the world refuse chemotherapy for themselves

Research using polls and questionnaires continue to show that 3 of every 4 doctors and scientists would refuse chemotherapy for themselves due to its devastating effects on the entire body and the immune system, and because of its extremely low success rate. On top of that, only 2 to 4% of all cancers even respond to chemotherapy or prove to be "life extending," yet it is prescribed across the board for just about every kind of cancer.

Developing: Possible Israeli Attack on Syria Air Defense Facility

On the heels of a reported chemical attack committed by the death squads on the Syria/Turkey border, a massive explosion has completely destroyed a Syrian air defense base in Snobar Jableh, Syria which is located near Latakia, a port city on the coast of the Mediterranean. Snobar Jableh is just south of Latakia.
The attacks allegedly were to have taken place on Wednesday night.
Although no one has publicly claimed responsibility for the explosion, both Syrian and Lebanese media are attributing the attack to Israeli forces.

Israel ‘furious’ with White House for leak on Syria strike

Jerusalem considers administration’s confirmation of Israeli air attack on missile stores to be ‘scandalous’; TV analyst warns US risks starting ‘major flare-up’

Israel is fuming with the White House for confirming that it was the Israeli Air Force that struck a military base near the Syrian port city of Latakia on Wednesday, hitting weaponry that was set to be transferred to Hezbollah.
Israel has not acknowledged carrying out the strike, one of half a dozen such attacks widely ascribed to Israel in recent months, but an Obama administration official told CNN on Thursday that Israeli warplanes had indeed attacked the Syrian base, and that the target was “missiles and related equipment” set for delivery to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Israel’s Channel 10 TV on Friday night quoted Israeli officials branding the American leak as “scandalous.” For Israel’s ally to be acting in this way was “unthinkable,” the officials were quoted as saying.
A second TV report, on Israel’s Channel 2, said the leak “came directly from the White House,” and noted that “this is not the first time” that the administration has compromised Israel by leaking information on such Israeli Air Force raids on Syrian targets.
It said some previous leaks were believed to have come from the Pentagon, and that consideration had been given at one point to establishing a panel to investigate the sources.
Channel 2′s military analyst, Roni Daniel, said the Obama administration’s behavior in leaking the information was unfathomable.
Daniel noted that by keeping silent on whether it carried out such attacks, Israel was maintaining plausible deniability, so that Syria’s President Bashar Assad did not feel pressured to respond to the attacks.
But the US leaks “are pushing Assad closer to the point where he can’t swallow these attacks, and will respond.” This in turn would inevitably draw further Israeli action, Daniel posited, and added bitterly: “Then perhaps the US will clap its hands because it will have started a very major flare-up.”

Channel 2 speculated that the US might have leaked word of Israel’s attack as a warning to Israel to desist from such actions. Alternately, it might be seeking to signal that it was part of the tough policy designed to prevent a flow of sophisticated weaponry to Assad. But these and other possible explanations simply didn’t justify the leak, which the TV report described as “illogical” and “foolish.”
Jerusalem’s reported anger with the White House over the leak coincided with efforts by the Administration to assure Israel that it is holding to a tough line on Syria and in the effort to thwart Iran’s nuclear program, and is maintaining its robust military partnership with Israel.

 

The Chemical Weapons Pretext: Paving the Way for a Future US Military Strike on Syria?

Libya should be a lesson. Although Syria met its deadline by destroying their chemical weapons building capabilities, Western powers in collaboration with Israel and Saudi Arabia will continue to destabilize the Syrian government. Washington is preparing for a military strike on Syria if President Bashir al-Assad and his government remain in power. Many in Washington including President Barack Obama and possible future Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton along with Secretary of State John Kerry have publicly stated that “Assad Must Go”.
