The Iron Elephant: What You Should Know about the Dangers of Excess Body Iron

I just finished it. EVERYBODY SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!!!

The take-home lesson from this is that there has been some genetic modification of some sort, so there is a downside to the Paleo diet for many people. This book is hugely interesting especially in view of all the conditions that iron overload can cause or assist in manifesting. No wonder doctors and Big Pharma doesn’t want to go there. People not knowing about it are sick and need drugs, not the simple expedient of giving blood regularly. Avoiding iron-rich foods isn’t really feasible; the best thing is to just get your levels checked intelligently (that is, you’ll probably need to know more than the doctor since most doctors know ZIP about this matter) and then donate blood regularly.

Scientist predicts Earth is heading for another Ice Age – next year!

As if the outlook wasn’t bleak enough already, meteorologists believe the shivering start to 2013 has been the coldest in more than 200 years. More worryingly, the combination of sub-zero temperatures and heavy snow experienced across much of the country recently could be the prelude to a new Ice Age that will begin next year and last for 200 years.

Scientist predicts Earth is heading for another Ice Age – next year!

Russian scientist Dr Habibullo Abdussamatov, of the St Petersburg Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory, painted the Doomsday scenario saying the recent inclement weather simply proved we were heading towards a frozen planet.

Dr Abdussamatov believes Earth was on an “unavoidable advance towards a deep temperature drop”. The last big freeze, known as the Little Ice Age, was between 1650 and 1850.

Today he said: “The last global decrease of temperature (the most cold phase of the Little Ice Age) was observed in Europe, North America and Greenland.

“All channels in the Netherlands were frozen, glaciers were on the advance in Greenland and people were forced to leave their settlements, inhabited for several centuries.

“The Thames river in London and Seine in Paris were frozen over every year. Humanity has always been prospering during the warm periods and suffering during the cold ones. The climate has never been and will never be stable.”

Global superstorms increasing. And all the elite can do is make things worse with more oppression and war-mongering. Don’t they get it that it is the collective consciousness of the unhappy masses and the ravaged planet? That they, too, will die when the body they are infecting is destroyed by their rapaciousness?

Incredible North Atlantic storm spans Atlantic Ocean, coast to coast

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a storm this big before.

The storm shown here stretches west to east from Newfoundland to Portugal. Its southern tail (cold front) extends into the Caribbean and the north side of its comma head touches southern Greenland.

Not only is it big, but it’s also super intense – comparable to many category 3 hurricanes. The storm’s central pressure, as analyzed by the Ocean Prediction Center, is 953 mb. Estimated peak wave heights are around 25-30 feet.

The storm is forecast to remain more or less stationary over the next few days before substantially weakening and then eventually drifting into western Europe in about a week as a rather ordinary weather system.

Note to Washingtonians: this is the same storm that blanketed the region with 1-4 inches of snow Monday. It’s grown into a monster from humble beginnings. The storm’s giant circulation has drawn down the cold and windy conditions we’ve had since it passed.

The Heretic: Who is Thomas Nagel and why are so many of his fellow academics condemning him?

The Heretic: Who is Thomas Nagel and why are so many of his fellow academics condemning him?

For all this and more, Thomas Nagel is a prominent and heretofore respected member of the country’s intellectual elite. And such men are not supposed to write books with subtitles like the one he tacked onto Mind and Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False.

Imagine if your local archbishop climbed into the pulpit and started reading from the Collected Works of Friedrich Nietzsche. “What has gotten into Thomas Nagel?” demanded the evolutionary psychologist Steven Pinker, on Twitter. (Yes, even Steven Pinker tweets.) Pinker inserted a link to a negative review of Nagel’s book, which he said “exposed the shoddy reasoning of a once-great thinker.” At the point where science, philosophy, and public discussion intersect – a dangerous intersection these days – it is simply taken for granted that by attacking naturalism Thomas Nagel has rendered himself an embarrassment to his colleagues and a traitor to his class.

The Guardian awarded Mind and Cosmos its prize for the Most Despised Science Book of 2012. The reviews were numerous and overwhelmingly negative; one of the kindest, in the British magazine Prospect, carried the defensive headline “Thomas Nagel is not crazy.” (Really, he’s not!) Most other reviewers weren’t so sure about that. Almost before the ink was dry on Nagel’s book the UC Berkeley economist and prominent blogger Brad DeLong could be found gathering the straw and wood for the ritual burning. DeLong is a great believer in neo-Darwinism. He has coined the popular term “jumped-up monkeys” to describe our species. (Monkeys because we’re descended from primates; jumped-up because evolution has customized us with the ability to reason and the big brains that go with it.)

If you haven’t read Nagel’s Mind and Cosmos, we have a thread on our forum about it you should check out. We see here the psychopath-dominated science of the mainstream taking aim at Nagel, which tells us he’s on the right path.
