WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court gave drug companies more freedom to develop new disease-fighting therapies, ruling yesterday that rival firms' patents do not bar them from starting research on competing medications.
The unanimous ruling set aside a lower-court ruling for patent holder Integra LifeSciences. It means that major pharmaceutical companies such as Eli Lilly and Pfizer can start experiments sooner, leading to faster drug development, perhaps billions in savings and lower costs for consumers.
"It's a big win," said Sarah Lock, a senior attorney for AARP, which filed a friend-of-the-court brief on behalf of Americans age 50 and over. "With rising prescription-drug costs, consumers are feeling pinched. Consumers are going to end up saving money."
Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the court, said a lower court was wrong to bar automatically early-stage research conducted to identify new drugs. Such experiments are OK so long as the drug could not be feasibly marketed until after a rival's patent expired, he said.

"The use of patented compounds in preclinical studies is protected," Scalia wrote, in sending the case back to lower court to determine the exact scope of drug companies' rights under federal law.
Mauricio Flores, an attorney representing Integra, said he was disappointed that justices overturned the $6 million jury verdict for Integra. "We're satisfied we'll have an opportunity to go back to lower court to prove our claims," he said.
Integra's lawsuit accused Merck of infringing on a patent that Integra holds on certain molecules Merck is using for research. The peptides, which are biological molecules, contain a specific amino-acid sequence that researchers hope could inhibit tumors.
Integra sued for patent infringement after Merck set up animal trials for a cancer therapy as a first step in a decade-long effort to win federal approval for use in humans. The experimental cancer drug included the peptides that Integra says are patented until 2006.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled last year that the FDA exemption did not extend to exploratory research — only later-phase, human trials typically involving generic drugs. It reasoned that Congress intended only to promote the growth of generics when it passed the exemption in 1984.
But in its opinion yesterday, the Supreme Court disagreed. It said drug companies should have more leeway under the FDA exemption to investigate new drugs, not just generics, so long as the studies are "reasonably related" to a future drug application.
Legal experts said the ruling is a boon for big drug companies, who will save millions in licensing costs when conducting startup research. It also will promote more drug development in the U.S. rather than being outsourced to foreign countries, which historically have had looser patent protections.

What's In The Stand
The shifter worked flawlessly and the feel is much like a down tube friction shifter. Of course, being a city bike, having the entire grip rotate isn't a performance issue like it might be on a mountain bike.
Here is a look at the cable entry points on the crusty looking derailleur. Two adjuster barrels, and the left part of the cable makes a near 90 degree bend over to the right there where both ends of the cable terminate.
Because there are two cables running the show, there is no spring in the parallelogram of the rear mech. You don't have to rely on a spring to pull the cable back through some potentially contaminated housings. It actually is a pretty cool idea for an urban commuter rig that is reliable in all sorts of conditions.
Not to mention the five speed rear freewheel and beefy chain, which would take nigh unto forever to wear out.
By the way, this bike worked perfectly well. I'm sure its owner will enjoy the upright seated position, and the smooth ride.

Warm Asparagus Salad with Basil and Mint Pesto
This salad is just as good served cold or room temperature.
This salad is just as good served cold or room temperature.
Socca is similar to a crepe, and is made with chickpea flour, which imparts a mild, nutty flavor. This recipe makes one giant socca, but it's easy to make small ones instead if you'd prefer.
This grain-free dish is a favorite in the Willy Street Co-op's Delis. If you prepare it with gluten-free Dijon mustard, the final dish will be gluten-free.
Spicy, sweet, and tart, this is a pickle-lover's pickle. Add to salads or a cheese plate.
Here's a delicious way to serve rhubarb if you're not interested in pie. Served warm, it's incredible served with crème fraîche, whipped cream, or ice cream.
During asparagus's short season, serving it raw is a great way to enjoy it. Shaving the spears into thin ribbons and briefly marinating them in a quick vinaigrette turns the asparagus soft and almost creamy.
Pan roasting the millet here brings out its nutty flavor. If fresh corn isn't in season yet, use frozen corn.
This is a gorgeous, Thai-inspired pasta dish, rich and creamy with coconut milk, ginger, and garlic, and tinted deep green from spinach and mint.
This rich and creamy strawberry shake is warmly spiced with vanilla, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger. Don't forget to soak the cashews overnight!
Sautéeing beet greens in olive oil turns them meltingly tender, making them a delicious topping for crostini.
Toasting the hazelnuts instead of leaving them raw results in maximum hazelnut flavor, so don't leave this step out! This nut milk is mildly sweet, but you could add a teaspoon or more of your sweetener of choice, if it's not quite sweet enough for you.
This striking, dark pink pasta dish looks as good as it tastes. A simple green salad is all you need to make this the star of a special meal.
Serve with some good bread for a wholesome, warming dinner.
This fresh and vibrant salad hits the spot on dreary winter and fall days.
This simple vinaigrette is delicious as is, but makes a great base if you'd like to add herbs or garlic.
These tacos are so easy to make, they're sure to become a weeknight staple. The chimichurri adds a bright, tangy, and garlicky flavor that complements the black beans and kale nicely.
This is just the kind of soup to make at the beginning of the week for lunches. It's hearty enough to keep for several days, and is so delicious you won't tire of it.
This Thai-inspired recipe makes a perfect healthy dinner for one, but can be easily multiplied for more servings.
Raw and vegan, this eggnog is so different from what you've had before! It's full of warm spices as well as protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Cheers!
Gluten-free and vegan, this pasta dish is creamy comfort food that everyone can enjoy. Toss in more cooked vegetables before serving if you'd like – steamed kale or roasted broccoli would be delicious.
A compote made from Satsuma madarins and both pomegranate juice and seeds makes this rich and creamy panna cotta extra-special.
This palate-cleansing salad balances out rich winter meals. The recipe calls for the vegetables to be thinly sliced, and a mandoline would come in handy here.
Crunchy and vibrant, this salad is flavorful and refreshing.
Wild rice grows truly wild in Wisconsin, not just cultivated as in other states. Nutty, filling, and flavorful, this pilaf is a wonderful everyday dinner addition, but would also be welcome at the Thanksgiving table.
Vanilla and almonds go so well together that you might find that you prefer it unsweetened. If not, this recipe has different options for sweetening to your liking.
This sauce is so addictive. Try tossed with rice or udon noodles with vegetables for a filling meal.
Thin down this sauce down to use as a tangy salad dressing, or leave it thick to spread on sandwiches, or as a dip for vegetables.
This slighty sweet, salty dressing takes a bowl of simple steamed vegetables and warm grains to another level.
Made with whole grain oats and seeds, these crackers are high in protein and fiber, and are really easy to make! If you use gluten-free oats, the crackers are gluten-free, too!
Winter vegetables can often seem heavy, but this root vegetable and apple salad is crisp and refreshing, a great antidote to filling holiday foods.
This is a festive, straightforward recipe, and is easily doubled for company.
Even if you didn't grow up eating roasted chestnuts, there's something very nostalgic about them that makes them a perfect treat during the holidays.
Feel free to use whatever lettuce or blend of greens you like here.
Baba ghanoush is a Levantine eggplant dish that's perfect slathered on a slice of baguette, making it excellent picnic food. It's richly flavored with tahini, lemon, and lots of garlic.
Eggplant doesn't need a lot of preparation to taste great. Specialty varieties like Lilac Bride often lack the astringent flavor and big seeds that Italian Globe eggplant sometimes has.
This crowd-pleasing Chinese main dish is quick and easy.
With loads of summer vegetables, hearty mushrooms, and plenty of sweet Hungarian paprika, this vegetarian goulash is full of texture and flavor. Leftovers keep wonderfully for lunch boxes, as well.
Honeydew or cantaloupe would both be great in this dessert, sweet and cool with a bit of unexpected heat.
This raw tart, filled with fragrant, juicy, sweet peaches, is perfect for the summer months when lighter food is welcome.
This summer soup is cool and refreshing, lightly sweet with a spicy and smoky punch from the paprika. Try serving in chilled soup bowls.
Subtly spicy mizuna contrasts with crispy snow peas and savory, marinated tempeh in this meal-sized salad. Mizuna is related to mustard greens, but has much milder flavor.
After a winter of root vegetables and more root vegetables, fresh, bright green spinach and tender young garlic are such treats!
This delicious smoothie is an excellent way to start the day. This recipe also makes incredible popsicles! Double or triple the recipe, pour into molds, and freeze.
This seemingly decadent dessert is something all can enjoy: it's gluten-free, raw, vegan, is only lightly sweetened, and it incredibly delicious! Be sure to start the cashews soaking at least six hours before you'd like to serve it.
Classic, cool, and refreshing cucumber salads are a welcome summer side dish, and a nice counter to grilled meats.
Miso dressing is an unexpected but enjoyable choice for pasta salad, giving it a nice umami punch!
Summer squash soaks up the garlic, herbs, and lemon in this marinade like a sponge, and bursts with flavor after a quick turn on the grill. Use the extra marinade (you'll have some leftover) to drizzle over a grain salad, or to grill more vegetables.
Ramps are also know as wild leeks, and are similar to onion and garlic smashed together. These quick refrigerator pickles intensify their crunch, sharp bite, and pungent flavor.
Grain-, egg-, and dairy-free, with chickpeas as a main ingredient, these cookies are an unlikely internet sensation, and surprisingly decadent!
This is an easy dinner for a steamy summer evening.

This past weekend was the Walk to End Alzheimer's. I could not participate this year but the theme of walking got me thinking about my mom. During the time I cared for my mom in the early stages of her illness, one of the things her neurologist told her was "Keep moving". On a limited basis, Mom was able to get around on her own and one thing she liked to do was walk. With her walker, she would go around the block over and over several times a day.
At one time, my mother was quite a traveler. She had traveled pretty much to every part of the world. When I would check on her throughout the day she would report to me that she took several walks and, even though I knew she walked the same loop, I asked her where she went. When she described her walk, her excitement was such that one would think she walked around the entire world. I could picture her leaning over her walker on the move with great determination, hair flying and disheveled in the breeze, eyes fixated ahead, with her focus seeming all the more intense by her glasses which somehow seemed too big for her face. After my mom moved away to stay with my sister, I would think of her taking those walks and started to make the book above (individual images below). It has been several years and I have not worked anymore on the book; perhaps it is done, I don't know. Anyway, the Walk to End Alzheimer's got me thinking of this. Though the walk is officially over, they are still accepting donations. Please consider this charity that assists those who suffer from this disease.

I'm on the thirst day of my second week. Today is supposed to be a rest day but I'm not so sure about that. Monday I started doing my workouts at night. I think I'm going to like it much better than the early morning workouts. My back is limber by that time and I feel like I have more energy and can move better. I have NEVER been a morning person. Anyone that knows me will agree. Plus I'm one of those people who showers at night. You know there are two kinds of people in this world. Those who shower in the morning and those who shower at night. So I can do my workout at night, then shower, then go to bed. It just works for me.
I continue to feel better. Still no visual change, at least to me. But I am LOVING these workouts. TurboFire is just so motivating. In other workout videos there is always something that drives me crazy. Either its their voice or maybe someone in the group annoys me. But with TurboFire that isn't the case. I'm still working hard to get the moves down but for the most part its easy as long as you go with the "new to class" version for the first few times.
Also, I continue to struggle with food. That has always been a weakness for me. I need to learn to control cravings.
What is your biggest struggle when it comes to working out and eating right?

Okay, so maybe that's not the eternal question--what is?--but it's one I've never seen a totally satisfying answer to, and maybe there isn't one. :::big shrug:::
Since I don't have time to come up with a spanking, new blog entry today, I'll repost a long-winded comment I just made to Becky's blog, where she's up to part 3 in her series on The Place of Art in Fiction:
You're not gonna define art. Finer minds than I have tried and not really succeeded. To some degree, it's what people who have studied art, steeped themselves in art, and understand what goes into art in terms of society and era and innovation and power and discovery and significance–what those people agree is art…is art…if history agrees. It takes time to see if a work really was just faddish or had influence and continues to exert power.
It's sort of like fiction. Anyone can pick up a novel and enjoy it if they have the faculty within themselves to enjoy reading stories. (Which most of us have to some degree, but some don't.) But not everyone can tell if writing is really skilled and highly effective beyond, "I liked that." Not everyone understands how hard it is to get particular effects or craft sentences just so or have a character spring to real life. Not everyone gets how hard it is to tell a new tale. Some people like reading the same story, eseentially, over and over to get an effect, without a care for if the prose is superb and the characters multi-dimensional.
One can like bad stuff. Evidence: Junk food. Evidence: The music of Britney Spears. Evidence: An assortment of dreadful television programs.
But not everyone can appreciate a complex piece of music that asks the listener to do more than just tap their toes. That requires a listener, perhaps, to understand the thread of music history that led to this moment, building block upon building block, so that the music has true weight, so that they can sense the underpinnings and the homages and etc. Not everyone can appreciate a poem like THE WASTELAND. Not everyone can fully appreciate Shakespeare. Or Dante. Or…
So, universal appeal doesn't necessarily make it art, as you well know. (again, think BAYWATCH's popularity globally in its day), although a lot of art has so much beauty and power–because some artists specifically aim for the sensory pleasure– that even ordinary folks can walk by and stop and go, "Wow."
My dad, an utterly unschooled man who probably never stepped a foot in a museum until I asked him to take me (and he was pushing 70), didn't care a bit for Picasso's surrealistic period or Willem de Koenig's abstract women. But he sat down and stared and stared and stared and stared at that huge painting that has Washington crossing the river, that iconic painting. He found that stirring and powerful and riveting. And he couldn't stop looking. That connected with my "hillbilly" pop. It had a narrative element and it had personality (in the historical figures) and it had a context important to, say, an immigrant who had to learn that Washington was the first president for his naturalization exam. So, the components were there.
But something else would have to happen for my dad to appreciate, say, The Starry Night or a Lichtenstein or, some of my faves, Joan Miro or Klee or Chagall. I couldn't explain it to him. He'd have to get there himself.
But I think there IS something to the idea that it's the masters of the field who get to judge something "art", not the general public, and that time and the perspective time gives confirms or defies those choices.
This is not elitist. (Okay, strictly speaking, it IS elitist, but not in the negative way that word tends to be used, any more than saying only qualified and licensed and specially-trained persons should perform brain surgery is elitist. Some things need an elite to make judgments.) This is understanding that all creative endeavors spring from a matrix. There is a historical line that leads to painting today, fiction today, non-fiction today, poetry today, sculpture today. And part of understanding when something is groundbreaking or special is to understand what came before and to understand the components, not just the effect. The structure, not just the pretty visual of it. An architect can build a house just like a zillion other houses, or he can create something that has never been seen before and that changes our view of what a building could be. And that is making art out of craft. A painter can put something on a canvas that alters the way painters look at their work, that makes a new context. Hemingway helped to change the way we look at writing novels, and that made him great, even if we don't connect with his characters or care about his plots. He was a stylistic force and his books are still read. (I don't much like his novels, but I appreciate the art in his stories and his crafting of prose.)
I would say that a smaller circle judges what art is, and eventually it may spread and cause changes in society in terms of what comes after, and the general public doesn't realize it except in hindsight, how X and Y and Z artists changed how A and B and C art forms evolve and are perceived.
And some, more egalitarian, say that art is whatever the artist says it is, and of course, anyone can call themselves an artist. But I'm not convinced this is so.
I am also sure that what I'm writing is not art. I'm just trying to get to decent craft at this point. If I can write something worthy of being called a true work of ART before I die, well….bury me happy. That means it will have affected others and, maybe, last after I'm gone to be with Artist #1.

From a writer who studied fine art in college, I have to say that your post was extremely insightful. Beautifully put.
Say it, sister!!
In writing my latest book, The Fiery Serpent, I needed to wrestle with a definition. I decided to use the classical Greek term techne or skill.
So much "art" nowadays seems to require no skill, so I don't use "techne" for it.

Sorry sir, there simply is no room
Las Vegas Travel Blog› entry 3 of 3 › view all entries
January 19th, 2008 – by: benweasel
Shortly after I started my deep sleep, I was awakened by Ian Mcgee.
"Wake up dude, we have to try to catch a flight" Ian pleaded.
"Nah" was my comatose response.
Ian left me alone in my sleep for about 10 minutes, then hit me again. I remember that I stood up, and started to change clothes, but then I quickly fell back to the bed.
"I'll catch the flight tomorrow" I told Ian.
Since we had Buddy Passes, we could catch any flight out of Las Vegas to any domestic destination that Delta serviced, so I figured I'd catch a flight somewhere, and then possibly home.
"Sure man, see you in Cincinnati."
That must have been my awakening call as I quickly came to life and had all, or at least most, of my posessions and was on my way out of the hotel. Outside the hotel we caught a cab that took us to McCarren Airport and found our way to the terminal. Colin had given us an early warning that the flights were looking booked so it was a good idea that we got there for the first flight. As soon as we arrived at the terminal we let the gate attendants know that we were 'stand by' and we would be right there, standing by. She politely let us know that the flight was looking pretty full, and that we would be lucky to get coach seats, much less first class, on our way back to Cincinnati. We accepeted this fate.
We made up a hang out spot around the corner from the gate attendant and let her know we would be napping over there until final boarding was called. She told us that she'd come over personally and let us know when we were supposed to board. We made our way to some of the more un-comfortable seats that could have been constructed of blue pleather and unforgiving metal and thrown next to slot machines. But, for the next 45 minutes, it was as good as the suites at the Waldorf.
Across the loudspeaker, they kept saying names. "Mr. Johnson, you are now allowed to board." "Mr. Rosenbaum, you are now allowed to board." We kept waiting to hear our names. With each announcement we were ready to pick up our backpacks and board the plane. The names kept coming, but ours were never spoken.
"Shit. We're not on this flight." Says Ian McGee. "We're stuck here. Where the hell do we go from here?"
Now, given my journey spirit, I suggested Brussells, Germany. Figuring we would pick up the extra cost, and then hang out in Germany until we needed a flight back. It made sense to me at least.
However, since it would have cost a small fortune, we started looking at alternate routes. There were alot of flights going to Atlanta that day, since Atlanta is Delta's home hub, it made sense that there would be at least 3 seats to hot-lanta. Unfortunatley, all flights to ATL had been cancelled because apparently they have no idea what snow is in Atlanta, and were busy trying to figure out how to de-ice their fleet.
So now Delta had a major problem with traffic since their main hub has basically been shut down with the equivalent of the same amount of frost that has accumulated on the long since expired okra in my freezer. Really, you'd think there would be more recipies for okra, but there really aren't. And there we sat at the airport, luggage in hand.
We started scanning the map. No flights were leaving from Dallas to Cincinnati. There was one out of Salt Lake City, but it didn't leave until 8AM the next day. Not wanting to spend yet another night sleeping on those painful floors at SLC, that wasn't an option. There was one flight up to NYC, and that too meant an overnight stay at JFK.
I made a few phone calls and got some frequent flier points transferred to my name. Now I had enough to fly home out of SLC the next morning, the flight was leaving at 8AM, so I had some more time in Vegas to kill. Ian McGee and Ian Madden decided to take the flight to NYC and spend the night there, I made some calls back to the hotels and secured a free room for the night on a hide-a-way bed at the Golden Nugget. I bid adieu to my friends and wished them well on their flight to NYC. As it turns out, they picked up business class the whole way, so they were comfortable. I, on the other hand, had to make my way back to the downtown casinos. My vegas trip took an unexpected turn towards longevity.
I caught a shuttle from the airport to Downtown for $8 and met some nice ladies who were on their annual vegas trip. It was about 45 minutes back to downtown, but it was enjoyable. Once I arrived, I went to my room and threw my stuff down and went back to the friends. I'm operating on 2 hours of sleep and am not really feeling up for the party, but manage to hang on. We made plans to go to the Strip to watch our beloved University of Kentucky Wildcats take on our SEC rivals and defending national champions the Florida Gators. We stopped by the Four Queens sports book, made a $50 bet on our Cats to win with a 7 point spread, and then made a side bet with Ian Smith that the total score would be more than 142 points. That second bet was sort of a lofty goal, but it's always fun to bet your friends.
There were about 10 of us still remaining in Vegas at this point and about 6 of us were going to catch a limo to the strip to watch the game. The game was on ESPN so we figured that the ESPN Zone at New York New York casino would be a great place to catch the game and get some beers. We were dropped off at the casino and made our way inside. After a 20 minute wait for a table, we finally found a table that was off in the corner. All the screens in the whole place were on either a non-UK game, SportsCenter, or classic ESPN. We asked the server and the manager a few different times to put the TV on ESPN so we could watch the game, and were repeatedly denied. Who would think that you'd want to watch ESPN, UK vs FLA, at the ESPN Zone. I know, crazy! We left in disgust.
We made our way over to the MGM Grand Sports Book and they gladly changed one of thier huge screens to the UK game. The game was a good one, we went into overtime, but the Cats managed to lose this one. However, the total score was 144, so I did win $ off of Ian. That's always sweet. After a quick dinner and a ride back to the hotel, I had about 4 hours that I could get some sleep before I had to get up for the flight.
The next morning came quickly. I made my way to the lobby of the Golden Nugget and was looking for a cab when I found some friends of mine who were also going to the airport. We split the cab ride and I got to the airport, ready to board a flight that I was guaranteed a seat on. It was a nice flight to Salt Lake City, but I slept the whole way.
I had two hours to kill in Salt Lake before my connector flight to Cincinnati, so I started walking around. Apparently, it was the same week as the Sundance Film Festival in the neighboring town of Park City, and the airport was full of celebrities. As I was walking around I spotted The Kevin Bacon. The man of 1000 movies. The Living Legend.
I don't like to bother people for autographs or pictures, so I just gave him a wave to acknowledge him and kept on walking. After 5 minutes, I realized that Kevin Bacon is the one celeb that you have to bother for a photograph. It is every persons goal to get higher in the "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon" game. So I turned around and started to look for my target. I walked back to where I saw him, but no Bacon. When I saw him, he was walking out of a Delta Crown Room, so I figured he was on a Delta flight. I criscrossed every Delta terminal, but to no avail. I called my buddy Junior and asked him "If you were Kevin Bacon, where would you be?" His response was classic. "I dunno, on the set of Tremors 16?"
I checked every gate, every gift shop, every coffee stand. No Kevin Bacon. I gave up my quest, and made my way towards the gate.
The flight was uneventful, and I finally made it back to my hometown. It was good to be home and get some sleep. I'm tired of writing about Vegas now.

Weather seal for late 1980s pella casement
A handy person from Ames, Iowa says:
August 27, 2016
Trying to find the correct gasket/seal for 1980s (house built in 1988) pella casement windows. Appears to be insert (with a couple barbs) and 90 degree "tab" for the seal.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
August 30, 2016
We may be able to help, but I cannot identify your seal from this picture. Could you remove a small piece and show us a clear photo of its end? Seeing its profile from the end would be a huge help. I will also need your measurements. Thanks!

(POPEYE) Col. L. Fletcher Prouty discusses photos of General Ed Lansdale in Dealey Plaza on November 22nd 1963. Ed Lansdale was a CIA agent whose cover title was that of an Air Force Colonel and later General, who worked directly for CIA Director Allen Dulles. Lansdale specialized in political-psychological warfare operations, and manipulation of governments. The photo of him in Dealey Plaza on November 22nd 1963 reveals a deep level of involvement with certain factions within the CIA in the planning, operational phase, cover story, and cover up of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22nd 1963. Such operations (Coup d'état) were Gen. Lansdale's specialty.

The Global Corporate Coup That No One Is Talking About
Captain America Winter Soldier: New World Order Plot
(SACREDOWLS) Just finished watching Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier & was pleasantly surprised! Sacred Owls loves us some Marvel but this one went the extra mile! Sometimes life is stranger than fiction. Warning: Spoilers!
Hydra = Operation Paperclip
Just as I was thinking it, Black Widow said it!
Captain: "Arnim Zola was a German scientist that worked for the Red Skull. He's been dead for years"
Arnim: "First correction: I am Swiss. 2nd: Look around you. I have never been more alive. In 1972 I received a terminal diagnosis. Science could not save my body. My mind, however… That was worth saving. On 200,000 feet of data banks. You are standing in my brain."
Captain: "How did you get here?"
Arnim: "Invited."
Black Widow: "It was Operation Paperclip after World War II S.H.I.E.L.D. recruited German scientists with strategic value."
Arnim: "You thought I could help their cause. I also helped my own."
Captain: "Hydra died with the Red Skull"
Arnim: "Cut off one head, two more shall take it's place."
Captain: "Prove it."
Arnim: "Access archive… Hydra was founded on the belief that humanity could not be trusted with it's own freedom. What we did not realize is that if you try to take that freedom they resist. The war tough us much. Humanity needed to surrender their freedom willingly. After the war S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded. And I was was recruited. The new Hydra grew. A beautiful parasite inside S.H.I.E.L.D. For 70 years Hydra has been secretly feeding crisis, reaping war and when history did not cooperate, history was changed."
Black Widow: "That's impossible S.H.I.E.L.D. would have stopped you."
Arnim: "Accidents will happen. Hydra created a world so chaotic that humanity is finally ready to sacrifice it's freedom to gain it's security once the purification process is complete Hydra's New World Order will arise. We won Captain. Your death amounts to the same as your life. A zero sum."
S.H.I.E.L.D. is an espionage and law-enforcement agency in the Marvel Comics Universe. The acronym originally stood for Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-Enforcement Division. It was changed in 1991 to Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistics Directorate. – Wikipedia
So this whole story line is pretty much the same true history of humanity since WWII. Except S.H.I.E.L.D. was the C.I.A. However, the United States Central Intelligence Agency was not founded by "good guys" but rather Yale University / Skull & Bones alumni who practiced black arts, occult rite & rituals who's plans were world domination through war, famine, and poison. People like Prescott Bush, Henry Kissinger, and so on. Instead of an Orwellian 1984 scenario with boot to the neck oppression in order to achieve a New World Order the men behind the curtain are going more Aldous Huxley's Brave New World where we beg for the control because it is convenient and comfortable.
Operation Paperclip is the actual name of Nazi infiltration of the United States government. It's pretty amazing that Marvel had the balls to not only drop that name with it's actual definition (which American Horror Story: Coven also did recently) but then to tie it to the phrase New World Order within minutes of the film.
Zola's Algorithm (Project Insight) = NSA PRISM
Another key plot line that correlates with reality is Zola's Algorithm. It's concept of using data mining in order to keep tabs on citizen's and even predict what they are going to do in the future to assess who is a threat to national security is exactly what the N.S.A. (National Security Agency) PRISM program is.
PRISM is a clandestine mass electronic surveillance data mining program launched in 2007 by the National Security Agency (NSA), with participation from an unknown date by the British equivalent agency, GCHQ. PRISM is a government code name for a data-collection effort known officially by the SIGAD US-984XN. The Prism program collects stored Internet communications based on demands made to Internet companies such as Google Inc. under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to turn over any data that match court-approved search terms. The NSA can use these Prism requests to target communications that were encrypted when they traveled across the Internet backbone, to focus on stored data that telecommunication filtering systems discarded earlier, and to get data that is easier to handle, among other things. – Wikipedia
Captain: "Tell me about Zola's algorithm."
Agent: "Never heard of it."
Captain: "What were you doing on the Lumurian Star*?"
Agent: "Throwing up. I get sea sick… (after being kicked off the roof and thrown back on by Falcon) Zola's algorithm is a program for choosing its targets"
Captain: "What targets?"
Agent: "You, The T.V. anchor in Karo, The other secretay of Defensa, high school valedictorian Iowa City, Bruce Banner, Steven Strange, anyone who is a threat to Hydra now or in the future"
Captain: "In the future? How could it know?"
Agent: "(laughing) How could it not? The 21st century is a digital book. Zola tough Hydra how to read it. Your bank records, medical histories, voting patterns, emails, phone calls, your damn S.A.T. scores. Zola's algorithm evaluates people's past to predict their future."
Captain: "What then?"
Agent: "…oh my god Pierce is going to kill me…"
Captain: "WHAT THEN?!"
Agent: "Then the inside helicarriers scratch people off the list… a few million at a time."
There you have it folks! Using predictive programming to kill a huge chunk of the worlds population (as per National Security Study Memorandum 200 by Henry Kissinger in 1979) in order to depopulate the world for national security.
*Fun fact. Lumurian Star is a reference to the hypothetical lost continent connecting the Indian and Pacific oceans which has been referenced a bit in popular culture but has been rendered obsolete by modern understanding of plate tectonics.
Another note of Anti-New World Order symbolism is towards the end when Nick Fury needs to use a retinal scanner in order to enter a door but his security clearance has been revoked. He raises his eye patch to reveal his damaged eye and says "It you want to stay ahead of me Mr. Secretary… you need to keep both eyes open."
Wanna be illuminated ones like to cover one eye in order to show allegiance to the New World Order as shown to the right.
Samuel L. Jackson's character Nick Fury however does the opposite. He has an eye patch because of something done to him. It is unsightly and damaged which is why it is covered. In order to gain access to the information to destroy the tyrant. He lifts it as a sign of disobedience.
Winter Soldier = MK Ultra Monarch Program Victim
The Winter Soldier himself is something right out of the C.I.A.'s Monarch Program under MKUltra. He is a brainwashed mind control victim who has psychological triggers that make him operate.
When he does not operate as his controllers want, they give him shock treatment and reprogram him.
Some other fun little conspiracy references were found in the film like when a senator is talking to what seems like one of his agents about setting up an appointment to sleep with a wanna be reporter but stops himself because "This isn't the place to talk about it" and notices his lapel pin. The agent slowly looks up and him and knowingly says "Thank you." with a creepy smile. Then the senator say's "Come here." and reaches in for a hug at which point he whispers in his ear "hail Hydra" and walks off.
This sort of awkward greeting is common among the initiated in secret societies. This scene is actually really similar to the way George W. Bush greeted Jeff Gannon (gay porn star, White House prostitute "midnight call boy" and who some believe to be Johnny Gosch the missing child presumed dead or a victim of The Franklin Cover Up ritual sex & murder circle). This type of shit really makes my skin crawl… creeps.
All and all, great film! The good guy is an old fashioned, modest, moral man who believes in the constitution, transparency in government, and freedom from tyrants (which are one in the same).
To quote the Captain:
"Attention all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. This is Steve Rogers. You've heard a lot about me in the past few days. Some of you were even ordered to hunt me down. But I think it's time you know the truth. S.H.I.E.L.D. is not what we though it was. It's been taken over by Hydra. Alexander Pierce is their leader. The strike and insight crew work for Hydra as well. I don't know how many more but I know they are in the building. They could be standing right next to you. They almost have what they want. Absolute control. They shot Nick Fury and it won't end there. If you launch those helicarriers today Hydra will be able to kill anyone that stands in their way unless we stop them. I know I am asking a lot but the price of freedom is high… it always has been, and it's a price I am willing to pay. And if I am the only one, so be it. But I am willing to be that I am not."
Infowars.com has also done a pretty good review of the film.

The FED: Celebrating 100 Years of Stealing From You Every Day
(Miss American for FederalJack) So the gun grab finally has your attention? I thought we were going to have to wait for the ground to be smoking under your shoeless feet before you woke up and looked around you! I'm sorry, but the people who have been observing the take down of our country for many years now, don't have time to bring you up to snuff at this point. Basically it's Paul Revere time for us. There have been so many assaults committed by stealth against Americans of good faith, and carried out so slowly and incrementally, that you have actually been ambushed. Now I'd advise that you prepare for the sucker punch. Yes, we were the richest and most prosperous nation on earth. Yes, a majority of us lived a lifestyle unprecedented in human history, but does the farmer not fatten up his pigs for the slaughter?? We have been a naive and trusting population. But it's time to face the 'opposite day' world we now find ourselves in.
Unfortunately, people who had a keen understanding of human nature designed a Madison Avenue society that kept the masses well preoccupied with 'if you work hard enough, you can achieve the American Dream', while they did their dirty work. And we were preoccupied, mesmerized by a televised induced spell in fact! But all the while, the same group we threw off our backs in the American Revolution, never gave up their rabid desire to control our country. They merely decided to use deception, subversion and the age old power of greed and fear to conquer us this time. We, along with 99% of the rest of the world have fallen into the hands of an international mafia banking cartel. They have lusted for world domination for centuries, and have killed millions upon millions of people in their quest.
However, in spite of warnings throughout recorded history, and even from our country's own founding fathers, in 1913 President Woodrow Wilson committed what was destined to become the gravest act of treason ever, when he signed into law the Federal Reserve Act. With that signing, he essentially burnt down the country, and eventually the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence went down in flames with it. Jesus Christ threw the moneychangers out of the temple, as did many after him, but Wilson opened the door wide and welcomed them back in. What has ensued ever since, is the wholesale theft of everything America was, and all that Americans cherish and love.
With the ability to print money from nothing, and control it's ebb and flow, the criminal Federal Reserve Mafia and Israeli dual citizens in high places of U.S. government, have been able to infiltrate and control every facet of our federal, state and local government, our military industrial complex, every educational, medical and research institution, every meaningful business possible including energy, all news media, publishing, agriculture, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. They control all manner of entertainment including sports, Hollywood, gambling, illegal drugs, and pornography. These parasites upon humanity have also cast their dark shadow over us with:
- Nuclear power plants built on the earth's fault lines and permitted far past their pre-planned life.
- Radiation from bomb testing.
- Military waste in corroding drums from bomb making tossed into oceans.
- Depleted uranium used in war weapons and unleashed on our own soldiers.
- Industrial waste illegally dumped in streams, rivers, bays and oceans.
- The sexualization of our children.
- DNA corrupting genetically modified crops and animals.
- MRSA infested meats used for food and 99% uninspected food imports.
- Radiation filled fish from Japan is just fine for US consumers thanks to Hillery Clinton.
- Known poisons added to thousands of foodstuffs and municipal water supplies.
- Human trafficking and sex slave operations.
- Illegal organ harvesting.
- Pedophile procurement rings.
- Snuff films, violent movies and video games.
- Gov. lab created bio-warfare germs accidentally and purposefully released on an unsuspecting public.
- Deadly, crippling, and ineffective vaccines, never tested for eventual cancer or disease causation.
- Disabling and violence inducing brain drugs prescribed to millions of children.
- Deadly pharmaceutical drugs 'fast tracked', then allowed to remain on the market as people drop
- dead by the thousands.
- Daily spraying of heavy metals into the sky by the military and private entities.
- Control of 90% of the mainstream media which demonizes anyone who exposes truth or logic.
- Unsafe government 'limits' of microwave and radio frequency radiation from wireless technologies.
These sub-humans have even created fake environmental groups to convince us that humanity is a scourge on the earth, or that a blind salamander has more importance than people. They even pay these groups to sue the government or 'federal agencies' to enable their hidden agendas such as land grabs or oil monopolies. It's called controlled opposition and they are experts at working both sides on any issue. Funny how these same environmentalists (called 'tree huggers' by their handlers) are mum on the actual atrocities being committed against mother earth!
Our country, which once had morals, values, pride, love, the rule of law, and faith in our future, has disintegrated in front of our eyes. Many are too blinded to see, so stuck in front of the TV they are with its false propaganda, lies and assurances that everything is just fine (and pay no mind to those enemy combatants, the conspiracy theorists!). The television has absolutely been the downfall of our society, a powerful and hypnotizing mass control tool of the devils. Research the flicker rate of high definition TV and its effect on the brain. Have you ever wondered why everyone had to transition to HDTV?
These are the people running the American show now. Our 'Republic' has been stolen by stealth. By bribe or threat they now create our legislation. They've turned all our federal agencies into draconian rogue forces that terrorize and swat team us without explanation or charges. They are controlling what we can and can't eat, and want to take vitamins and natural health treatments away from us. We can't drink organic milk, but they want to force us to roll up our sleeves so they can inject their idea of good health into our veins. The CIA is their assassination and terrorist recruiting arm, and the IRS will now police health care. The CPS, APS, and the courts abduct children and the elderly for incentive federal money and theft of estates. They are forcing school children into mental evaluations so that they can force drugs on them. They are doing the same to our veterans (of their wars) to take away their right to own arms, because if you went to guard Afghani poppy fields, surely you have PTSD! Maybe you have taken notice how our former 'protect and serve' police forces have turned brutal, impulsive, and merciless! Many have been trained in Israeli policing methods. They have long ago re-written the history books so citizens won't learn American history, or understand world history. In many countries you cannot talk or write about what really happened concerning Hitler's so-called death camps in Germany during WW2, or you will be guilty of 'hate speech' and go to jail. Americans will be next. To find out who controls you, ask who you cannot criticize.
These Moneychangers have created the financial take down of the world in order to bring in their New World Order with a total technocratic control grid in which every facet of life will be under their boot. It's full blown Communism along with unaccountable rendition and extermination of any resisters. Yet even to this day, most people have no idea who 'they' are, so presidents, congressional minions, and police will be left holding the blame bag. And they are to blame! Anyone who lived to see JFK killed knew what was involved if they went down the road of American politics. They are vetted well before a serious run for office to make sure they will be loyal to our best enemy Israel and the Rothschild, Morgan, Goldman Sachs banking cartel. If they aren't, they will be gone, one way or the other. At the very least they will be vilified and forever trashed by the totally controlled TV, print or internet media. This also happens to honest scientists, doctors, or any credible or well known public figure who speaks the truth, or threatens to expose their crimes or agenda. This is why you do not see smart, ethical, intelligent, sensible, logical, red-blooded Americans seeking high office in our country. JFK was the last of them.
Yes, I realize there have always been despots, ruthless dictators, and psychopaths on this earth with us, and narcissistic men filled with hubris who want to murder millions so they can run the world. But the Zionists, and their endless myriad of paid off minions have a particularly heartless, barbaric and sadistic signature. Read history books on how they have treated 'the Goyim' (anyone not a Jew) through the centuries. They deeply believe the 'goy' are merely put on earth to serve them. In fact they have killed their own if it was in the interest of their plan. When you encounter them, you can almost feel your blood run cold. You can sense their lack of a soul. You can feel the presence of the devil. They thrive on blood, guts, torture, and destruction. It just takes a short look at how they slaughter their cattle to convince you this is true. And who invented circumcision, the butchering of God's creation? Their modus operandi is to destroy families, morally bankrupt societies, introduce multi-culturalism (everywhere but in Israel) to dilute nationalism, create distention to divide groups, glorify deviance, demonize cultures and religions, and shove their beliefs down our throats. At this point, it looks as if it has worked quite well. America has bought into the plan, hook, line and sinker and it appears that we've passed the point of no return. There is no white horse on the horizon. We have but one savior left. Witness the big push for people to accept and welcome gay lifestyles, and the soon to be pedophilia normalcy bias. And just so you know, they will do anything it takes to accomplish what they think is their God given right to achieve. Open hypocrisy, lies, subversion, slow kill, murder, and murder disguised as suicides or accidents are their calling card. The list of extinguished souls is endless.
Personally I have never had prejudice against anyone's race, religion, or color. When I grew up we were not allowed to use racial slurs in our home. I never knew anything negative about Jewish history until I began to search for who was doing this to us and why. Why were our leaders turning on us? Why is everything they do the wrong thing for America, or morally wrong toward people? Why have they turned us into the enemy? Why was patriotism turned into terrorism? Why do they despise and have contempt for us? I got tired of hearing about 'globalists, the New World Order, and the Illuminati'! I wanted to know WHO it is that thought up all these brutal things being done to our country and our people. Could there be that many people with such devious diabolical minds? I'm a registered independent, but I voted for President Obama (alias Barry Sotoro), so desperate I was for 'change' and some 'hope' that our country would not continue to head for the dirt nap. (Never mind that voting for the traitor Mr. McCain wasn't even on my radar). Is there anyone who voted for this imposter that doesn't feel like a real sucker and a totally betrayed fool?? I see now that the controllers are moving in for the kill, dropping their masks, and taunting us to protest or resist. They will not stop until they have stolen every last vestige of the life we had. They don't care if we know what they're doing. They are laughing at us. To be this obvious and this much in our face is not a good omen. They have been amazingly genius at keeping everyone in the dark until the big boot was all polished and ready to stomp, using printed trillions out of thin air to enslave us. They must be ready to pull the plug. Imagine, all the wars having been fought to guarantee them the right to counterfeit money to infinity. All wars are banker wars! How could we not have questioned and thrown out, the counterfeiting Ponzi scheme that is the banking system?
Oh….. don't forget to observe The Federal Reserve's Centennial Birthday: 'Celebrating 100 years of stealing from you every day'! Why did we ignore the warning signs? Why didn't we learn from the brutal murderous trail the moneychangers had already laid? By not learning from history, we are now doomed to repeat horrific episodes of the past.

Blueseed: Floating Bilderberg Cities Where the Elite Control the Masses
(Susanne Posel) Blueseed is a San Francisco startup corporations that plans to launch a floating city 12 nautical miles off the coast of California.Blueseed will revamp a cruise ship or barge to create the off-shore city. It will sit in international waters and be a metropolis where foreign and American workers can conduct business and theorize new corporations without the pesky need for American work visas.
The sustainable design of the ship will allow for an environmentally-friendly workplace.
Only passports will be needed for businesses to work from the ship. Being situated in international waters means that no taxes will be collected or have to be paid by the corporations involved.
Those living on the ship and working on the mainland will be given temporary or tourist visas through investors, partners and collaborators.
Sitting just across from Silicon Valley, this floating city will allow entrepreneurs to do what they cannot do in the US because of business restrictions.
The ship will showcase all the luxuries of the Elite, including pools, massage parlors, gyms, rock climbing walls and indoor soccer fields as well as trendy food and other aesthetics. Food and supplies will be provided by local merchants and corporations on the West coast.
Employees can use either a ferry or helicopter ride to and from Blueseed to the mainland. With more than 250 corporations wanting to rent space, the cost of a standard cabin is estimated to be $1,600 per month. Start-ups in the US, India, the UK, Australia, Canada and Spain are eager to be part of this endeavor.
Founders of Blueseed are Marty Max, the son of Cuban immigrants, and Dario Mutabdzja are gaining momentum in the corporate world for their idea.
Peter Thiel, founder of PayPal is leading the financial research in supporting this seastead; a self-ruling city on the ocean. Both Max and Mutabdzja have worked for the Seasteading Institute.
Libertarian activist, member of the Bilderberg Group and corporate titan, Peter Thiel has contributed$1.25 million to the floating city project. Political influence in the Libertarian party ends with Thiel who was the biggest campaign contributor to Ron Paul, an influential collaborator who was in secret meetings with Rand Paul just before he publicly endorsed Mitt Romney and in a private conference with Ron Paul 3 days prior to his announcement that he was ending his campaign for US President.
Blueseed is a concept for "new sovereign nations built on oil-rig-type platforms anchored in international waters — free from the regulation, laws, and moral suasion of any landlocked country. . . They'd be small city-states at first, although the aim is to have tens of millions of seasteading residents by 2050."
Other members of the Libretarian movement are in full support of Theil. The fake revolution established by the ideals cry anti-government sentiment for the ignorant masses while also promoting their self-proclaimed rise to power. Just as any political party controlled by the global Elite, Libretarians have escaped comparison to their socialist peers – the Democrats and Republicans.
Theil, heading the offshore gang of nation-states may reflect the invention of a radical movement toward publicly establishing the global Elite as supreme rule. By rewriting political systems with the advent of floating cities, these independent nations could be allowed to "offer people the opportunity to peacefully test new ideas about how to live together."
The Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) could become the most valid international document with regard to seasteading. LOST binds the US to UN tribunals and international mandates, and these international mandates do not have the best interests of the US in mind. LOST could assist seasteading in becoming legitimate as sovereign nation-states.
The International Tribunal of LOST (ITLOS) which has binding authority over all treaty participants under Annex 8. Although there are many tribunals created within the treaty, one of particular interest is the Special Arbitral Tribunal (SAT). This is defined as a 5 person body with majority rule. Each party to a dispute within SAT chooses 2 representative panelists. The fifth panelist, if both parties cannot agree to who it should be, is decided by the UN Secretary General.
Should seasteading become the norm, LOST would be relevant and applicable regardless of its ratification in the US Congress.
Investing in Facebook when it was a burgeoning startup, Theil understands the power behind Blueseed and is not only financially contributing, but also assisting in gaining more funding for the project.
The Seasteading Institute collaborates ideas for potions for governments as the option of floating cities provides new avenues of living and ultimately controlling the population. Offering business opportunities for venture captiol and startups to invest and participate in seasteading extends real estate markets, economies of countries and creates a new level of diplomacy.
Research into engineering, science and technology would not be constrained by laws and regulations that are imposed on the mainland.
Slated for 2015, the Seasteading Institute expects to have manufactured the first independent city-state guided by inter-nation provisions and not responsible to any established country or sovereignty.
Moving the multi-national corporations offshore and into international water alleviates the jurisdiction of these megaliths from all known and established governments. Perhaps replacing sovereign nations would be the corporate-establishment where the floating city could be socially and technologically influenced and directed by the corporate-industrial complex.
Nation states created by Google, Microsoft or Facebook that owed no answer to the US could create such an over-reaching monster that the necessity of established governments could fall to the way side.
Off-shoots of the Seasteading Institute are forming around the world at technological universities to force the American corporation to remain competitive. Focusing on eco-sustainability and making money, the Seasteading Institute want to take advantage of the ocean as an untapped real estate resource.
Living on the ocean may become a reality in "balancing at the edge of uptopia."
