Injecting old mice with blood of teenage humans reverses ageing – study

Injecting blood from young people into old mice improves the mice’s brain power and leads to increased physical activity, according to new research. The finding could lead to breakthroughs for people suffering from degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s Disease. The findings, which have yet to be peer-reviewed, were presented at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in San Diego, California on Monday, the New Scientist reports. Researchers from anti-ageing research company Alkahest took blood samples from 18-year-old humans and injected the plasma into 12-month-old mice twice a week for three weeks.

For the First Time in History, British Medical Journal Calls for the Legalization of ALL Drugs

Doctors have an “ethical responsibility” to back the legalization of drugs, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) has advised for the first time. An editorial in the BMJ, the UK’s most widely-read medical journal, argues that laws against drug use have harmed people across the world, while stressing that drug addiction should be viewed as a health problem and police involvement must end. The BMJ says the “war on drugs” has failed and “too often plays out as a war on the millions of people who use drugs.”

AT&T And NASA To Build National Drone Tracking System

The largest telecommunications company in the world wants to serve as a watchdog for all drones in the United States — and in the process, play a major role in supervising the national airspace. On Nov. 10, AT&T announced that it was collaborating with NASA to develop an Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management program to allow agencies to monitor drones. An AT&T release states this program will make it safer for drone operators to plan and monitor flight paths, navigate drones, and use drones for surveillance. The company stated that its main focus is to lower the risk of drone-related cyberattacks.

US judge orders FBI, CIA to disclose Occupy surveillance

The FBI, CIA and National Security Agency have 60 days to comply with the order from Senior U.S. District Judge Berle M. Schiller. The order follows another right-to-know case that revealed the FBI was monitoring Occupy Wall Streetactivities in New York and spinoff efforts from Florida to Alaska. Civil rights lawyer Paul Hetznecker hopes to learn if the agencies surveilled demonstrators who encamped outside Philadelphia City Hall for seven weeks in 2011 to protest income inequality.

Meet California’s 218,667 Public Employees Making Over $100,000/Year

Open the Books is back with another important government transparency report. This time, the organization looked closely at California payrolls, and found that 218,667 public sector employees earn six-figure salaries (in many cases far above that threshold), at a cost of $35 billion. If Californians are fine with this sort of thing, more power to them, but it’s important to be knowledgable about where and how tax dollars are spent.

Now Is the Winter of our Discontent: Our Era of Rising Discord

It becomes increasingly difficult to believe central planning policy tweaks can ensure a permanent extension of cooperation and prosperity. Mao Zedong supposedly said, "There is great disorder under the Heavens and the situation is excellent." For those seeking to replace the existing social and economic order, chaos is a good first step.

This Is How Some Of The Anti-Trump Protesters Feel About The Rest Of America

In case you wondered about the mindset of the people protesting, let me help you out. They are filled with rage and contempt. They aren’t just disappointed in the outcome. The tolerant left outright hates anyone who feels differently about the results of the election. Caveat: Obviously, not every single person who is outraged at Hillary Clinton’s defeat is seething with hatred, but if you go to Twitter, you can see the harsh words of some very vocal dissenters.

Gaddafi ‘gave Nicolas Sarkozy €50m for 2007 presidential campaign’

A French-Lebanese businessman has publicly repeated claims that the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi gave €50m (£43m) to fund Nicolas Sarkozy’s successful 2007 campaign for the French presidency. In a film published on the investigative news website Mediapart, Ziad Takieddine, who introduced Sarkozy to Gaddafi, insists he handed over cases stuffed with cash to the former French leader and his chief of staff, Claude GuĂ©ant.

Americans Spend $30 Billion a Year on Dietary Supplements that Do Little, Says Study

Americans spend more than $30 billion a year on dietary supplements — vitamins, minerals and herbal products, among others — many of which are unnecessary or of doubtful benefit to those taking them. That comes to about $100 a year for every man, woman and child for substances that are often of questionable value. The passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 opened the floodgates to an industry that can bring these products to market without submitting any evidence to the Food and Drug Administration that they are safe and effective in people. The law allows the products to be promoted as “supporting” the health of various parts of the body if no claim is made that they can prevent, treat or cure any ailment. The wording appears not to stop many people from assuming that “support” translates to a proven benefit.

Google Gets a Seat on the Trump Transition Team

Google is among the many major corporations whose surrogates are getting key roles on Donald Trump’s transition team. Joshua Wright has been put in charge of transition efforts at the influential Federal Trade Commission after pulling off the rare revolving-door quadruple-play, moving from Google-supported academic work to government – as an FTC commissioner – back to the Google gravy train and now back to the government.

Soros Holds Urgent Strategy Session with DNC Elite

Billionaire globalist George Soros is meeting with a number of Democratic mega-donors and various party elite at a three-day strategy session in Washington, D.C. to plot methods to usurp President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda. In addition to Soros, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and Rep. Keith Ellison – in consideration to be next DNC chair — are among the key Democrats expected to attend, according to Politico. The annual closed-door conference, which kicked off on Sunday, is sponsored by the Democracy Alliance donor club. Democracy Alliance was created by Soros after John Kerry lost the 2004 presidential election, and annually funnels millions of dollars toward left wing projects.

Violent Clashes Erupt Between Greek Police And Demonstrators Protesting Obama's Visit

It appears that no matter what outgoing US president Barack Obama does, he can't get anything right. In the US, it is mostly the right that detests the president, who threw his entire weight behind Hillary Clinton's failed campaign (a sentiment shared by many Bernie Sanders supporters who feel that the presidency was complicit in Hillary Clinton's theft of the primary from their preferred candidate). Meanwhile, in Greece - the first stop of Obama's farewell global tour - it is the left that appears to be disgusted with Obama. As the following videos and photos show, leftist demonstrators took to the streets to protest against US President Barack Obama’s visit to Athens, clashing with police, who used tear gas to disperse the crowd as people tried to break through cordons.

Peak Snowflake - Students, Professors Blast University Of Virginia Head For Quoting Thomas Jefferson

Several professors on Grounds collaborated to write a letter to University President Teresa Sullivan against the inclusion of a Thomas Jefferson quote in her post-election email Nov. 9. In the email, Sullivan encouraged students to unite in the wake of contentious results, arguing that University students have the responsibility of creating the future they want for themselves. “Thomas Jefferson wrote to a friend that University of Virginia students ‘are not of ordinary significance only: they are exactly the persons who are to succeed to the government of our country, and to rule its future enmities, its friendships and fortunes,’” Sullivan said in the email. “I encourage today’s U.Va. students to embrace that responsibility.”

The transcript provides important context and foreshadowing on the current geopolitical tensions between the Anglo-American Establishment embodied in NATO and Putin’s Russia.

From ObamaCare to TrumpCare: Neoliberalism Brews a Second Helping of Failure

What we do know is that TrumpCare, like ObamaCare, will be a neoliberal, markets-first solution. So the country will have oscillated from the left side of the Overton Window to the right, and simple, rugged, and proven single payer will still be unmentionable in polite company; it will be interesting to watch liberals squirm to avoid discussing it. Since we can cross selling insurance across state lines off as any kind of solution, I’d be surprised if TrumpCare didn’t end up looking like a crapified version of the already crapified ObamaCare.[3] For pre-existing conditions in particular, the Republican plans from 2015 all crapify the coverage (with, for example “least 12-18 months of continuous coverage” being required). Too bad the Democrat victory in 2008 was such a squandered opportunity.
