Tyranny in action

This is how one form of it looks.

I anyone thinks this is an uncommon practice,You better think again.Go on Youtube and put in TSA search,and there are hundreds and hundreds of complaints on TSA violating peoples rights.These violations are not limited to air travelers either.They have expanded this invasive practice to those traveling on Amtrak,Greyhound,cruise ships,and most other venues of mass transit.They are following the sam incremental approach,as they have with gun control.Matt

And now with the alleged death of Bin Laden, they are ratcheting it up.

That's the trick of security, if nothing happens it's working, if someone slips through we need more; if something just changed we have to step it up, if nothing has changed then we are due for something and have to step it up.

Burzynski, the Movie is the story of a medical doctor and Ph.D biochemist named Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski who won the largest, and possibly the most convoluted and intriguing legal battle against the Food and Drug Administration in American history.

In the 1970’s, Dr. Burzynski made a remarkable discovery that threatened to change the face of cancer treatment forever. His non-toxic gene-targeted cancer medicine could have helped save millions of lives over the last two decades had his discovery not been criminally suppressed by the US government, as his therapy, called “antineoplastons,” have been shown to effectively help cure some of the most “incurable” forms of terminal cancer.

This documentary takes you through the treacherous 14-year journey Dr. Burzynski and his patients have had to endure in order to finally obtain FDA-approved clinical trials of antineoplastons.

His story is yet another testament that fact can be far stranger than fiction, as the film exposes the powerful, unscrupulous forces that work to maintain the status quo of the medical- and pharmaceutical industry at any cost—including the lives of millions of people.

Burzynski is a quack.

He charges patients hundreds of thousands of dollars to be admitted into his trials, and he gives them chemicals that can be produced for pennies on the dose. He has a huge beautiful building to work in and lives in a 2.4 million dollar house, all of which was paid for by admission to his clinical trials, which he will never publish, because he kicks too many people out of them as their diseases progress.

Cancer is a complex set of diseases, Burzynski's "cure" is simple as pie. A very minor genetic change could really ratchet up the levels of the polypeptide waste products that Burzynski calls antineoplastones, if they really worked, then why does cancer exist in the first place? Sure I could see one or two species being deficient in them by chance, but all species everywhere? Missing this easy to evolve protection against a serious disease? I don't buy it. It's super implausible, it's got all the hallmarks of quackery, and the guy who is crying foul is making millions of dollars off of extremely sick people, and then kicking them out of his trials when his cure doesn't help them.
