following politics, pursuing holiness
My local Christian radio station played their first Christmas carol of the “season.” What season is that?
Newsflash: Today is OCTOBER 24!!!
It’s not even Halloween yet, much less Thanksgiving. Today is only the second day it got below 70 degrees. We’re nowhere NEAR Christmas, even for those appallingly well organized people who are getting their shopping done early. That’s why it’s called “early” – because it’s, you know, BEFORE the expected time.
Good grief. Or should I say, “Bah, humbug!”
I’m “reliably” informed by a WND sponsor that Farrah Faucett has fled America. No, really. See? Here’s a quote from that very email, and if you are on their mailing list, you can receive gems like this, too.
WARNING: You are about to expose a shocking truth that will affect you and those closest to you…
Because of the controversy, Farrah Fawcett just fled America, a splinter group of doctors secretly went underground and tens of thousands signed a petition to ensure a book would not be banned.
What’s this secret the pharmaceutical giants don’t want you to know? How does it affect YOU??
We have a window of opportunity to snatch this information while we still can…

A Google News search reveals that Faucett’s cancer has returned and she’s seeking alternative treatment outside the country. That’s sad news. We just lost L to cancer. My mother had cancer. My grandmother died of cancer. My husband had cancer and only survived due to (what was at the time) radical treatment at MD Anderson. I have all the sympathy in the world for cancer sufferers. I will not be surprised at all, due to my family and personal history, if I join their ranks at some point. But of course there’s nothing in the news stories I read to indicate that she was chased or somehow forced to leave the country, or that she endorses the use of her name by these people. And I was curious to see what troofer-style allegations were being made about the medical establishment so I clicked through. Here’s some of what I found:
Hello,
Please forgive the ‘cloak and dagger’, but I’m going out on a limb by telling you this…
I don’t know how ‘they’ have done it… How have ‘they’ managed to keep this quiet?
Who are ‘they’?
‘They’ are the upper echelons of the medical establishment.
Secrecy (‘cloak and dagger’). Of course it isn’t really secret, as they’ve published it on the web, and there’s evidently no dagger, as they have not be prevented from doing so. “They” (the upper echelons) are out to get us. Who are these upper echelons? Does that mean doctors who teach at universities? Doctors at MD Anderson and the Mayo clinic? Doctors who oversee new drug applications at the FDA? Who are these people who hate us so much? Why are they persecuting that nice Charlie’s Angel?
there’s a documented medical secret that’s been deliberately buried… a secret so powerful it would change everything and make that debate irrelevant. The whole thing’s a house of cards that may be about to blown down.
The Man wants to keep the proletarians down.
Listen, the tests the hospital commissioned weren’t expected to be successful but they were, and it was a major embarrassment for them. What followed was nothing short of the most heinous cover-up in medical history. Who knows how many people have needlessly died because of it…
Some of the doctors were so outraged by the cover-up they secretly formed an anonymous underground- a resistance group- and looked for a way to get the story out…
Because it’s impossible to build a website -oh, wait! They have a website, so evidently that’s not it. But this underground, anonymous resistance group, whose motives are only pure and altruistic, instead of publishing the information on a website – for example, a website on non-US servers just like the kiddie porn people sometimes do to avoid prosecution – instead decided to publish a book. Way to be anonymous, fellas! Because printing and distributing a book couldn’t possibly leave a paper trail which would lead The Man and his ninjas in black helicopters right to your door. But perhaps you’re not too worried about that after all, since you’re willing to trade your anonymity and safety for $17.
The next step – since they have so bravely defied The Man by getting this book published somehow – was to ensure that it wouldn’t be banned.
But the fight wasn’t over even then because each year in America books get banned (yep, banned) and this title could clearly have been a target.
But…
…our cause is gathering steam. Over summer, we placed a video appeal on YouTube and it went viral. It quickly got into the most viewed videos that month.
The purpose of the YouTube video?
To ask people to sign a petition to ensure the book would NOT be banned!
TENS of THOUSANDS flocked to sign it. The event became a first in history according to the American Library Association. It was recently announced in the New York Times.
What government agency is in charge of banning books? Who enforces the ban – local cops, the FBI, ICE (since they obviously don’t spend much time arresting and deporting illegal aliens), the Secret Service? Where do they burn the books, and why aren’t the global warming nuts screaming about the wasted trees and carbon emissions? It’s a mystery. But it’s okay now, because The Truth is about to come out. Of course, they couldn’t just publish a paper in the New England Journal of medicine or The Lancet. After all The Man runs those publications, right? This is so explosive they couldn’t publish scientific studies, research papers, or patient studies that could be peer-reviewed. No. It’s so explosive they had to fictionalize it.
Listen, too many people have too much to lose by this getting out- drugs companies, hospitals, healthcare providers- the list is endless. Time after time, attempts to publish this information as a non-fiction book mysteriously hit a brick wall. So instead, the truth will come out in the form of a fact-based thriller ‘more explosive than The Da Vinci Code’. In The Pandora Prescription a FACTUAL conspiracy is exposed by a fictional character in real time- another first in publishing history.
Viral marketing campaign or new troofer conspiracy? You be the judge. But just as in the Da Vinci Code and the troofers, there is a fringe element who will believe this garbage, whether the makers intend it or not.
Hmm... Steve McQueen, treated for mesothelioma with laetrile and coffee enemas, died of a heart attack before the efficacy of the treatment was established. Coretta Scott King died of ovarian cancer at a facility not legally licensed to "perform surgery, take X-rays, perform laboratory work or run an internal pharmacy, all of which it was doing." Michael Landon died of pancreatic cancer; I couldn't find any info about his alternative treatment. Has any "famous personality" had any success with alternative treatment? Do people who seek "alternative" medicine die of their illness because the treatment was garbage, or because they were already so far gone nothing could have helped them? I don't know. But I do know that anyone who thinks that there is a vast medical conspiracy to deny a cure is a fool. To say that doctors - including doctors with cancer victims in their own families - would deliberately withhold treatment is a ridiculous libel. All doctors are not saints, but to say that as a group - even a group composed of the "upper echelons" - they would or could participate in such an evil conspiracy is as stupid as saying that our military is composed of murderous psychopaths. It's ridiculous, and so are the people who subscribe to the theory. ]

This amusing play on the despicable Che logo that uneducated leftist twits use to glamorize a mass murdering psychopath is making the rounds. That’s Bobby Jindal, my next governor, and I pray that he’ll be the man to revolutionize Louisiana politics as he has promised to do. He ran largely on ethics reform, and beat out 11 opponents with over 50% of the vote, so there won’t be any runoff. He ran against Kathleen Blanco and lost in a runoff in 2003 when she reminded people upstate that a) he’s a brown person and a filthy furriner to boot, b) Catholic – eww!! and c) her last name is, after all, Blanco. Between Katrina and Rita, I think everyone figured out that maybe a change from “politics as usual” was in order.
We didn’t completely clean house, unfortunately – Aaron Broussard, of lying and crying on Meet the Press fame, got back in as Jefferson Parish president. We very nearly forced him into a runoff, which was a good accomplishment given that his only serious opponent was underfunded, unconnected, and uncharming. But it’s done now, and we’re unlikely to get rid of him ever if we couldn’t do it this time, unless Jindal’s new ethics reforms can get Broussard caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Still, with this election a lot of overall progress has been made, and I’m very hopeful for the future.
Today is a dark, nasty day, with ongoing thunderstorms and some street flooding. The canal near my house is very near the top. But in spite of the weather, in spite of the fact that my entire family is ill and we’re bundled up in blankets and taking Theraflu, it’s a good day. A new day.
Viva la revolucion!
Update: “Chantalle” you are a useful idiot. This is the truth about your evil, Stalin-worshiping, murdering hero. The fact that so many on the left glamorize this killer, who in fact stood for against * so much that the liberal left claims to believe devoutly. Your hero tortured and killed people. He killed people for being homosexuals. He killed dissidents. He set up a gulag. He was evil. As are Castro and Chavez, who enslave their people. But you go ahead and continue to worship him in the freedom and comfort of New York – tool.
*corrected – it was late, I was tired, and wrote “for” instead of “against.”
I seldom stop watching a show I like twenty minutes before the end, but last night’s episode of Numb3rs genuinely called for it. A bible obsessed killer on the loose? Whatever… it’s been done before. And hey, as long as they’re bashing Christians, they’re giving those nice, peaceful Muslims a break, so it’s all good. But 40 minutes into the episode, they had to throw in the former-soldier-abuses-girlfriend meme (and his unit was suspected of rape and abuse but evidently got away with it because, after all, nobody at the Pentagon gives a crap about how soldiers behave as long as they’ve killed their quota of brown people for the week, right?) and the standard anti-war propaganda. It seems like the Hollywood Left (but I repeat myself) has never met a fascist dictator they didn’t like, and never met a soldier they did.
Hey, that’s an hour a week I just got back. I’ll be sure to thank the advertisers for it, too.
