Obama, Pelosi, and Reid Don't Get It .... Or Worse, They Really Don't Care !

In a CNBC interview on Tuesday, Kenneth Langone, Home Depot founder tried to explain how Obama's plans for deficit reduction and "investment" (spending) for the future amounted to "generational theft of an enormous magnitude". 

"The fundamentals haven't changed", Langone said. "And we don't know when the storm is going to hit." ... "It has to happen. If you look at our debt to GDP, eventually you reach a point where there's no turning back."

Langone had to resort to a simplistic analogy for the tribe of ever-slow-on-the-uptake interviewers at Squawk Box.

"If you had one meal left, and you had your grandchild with you, would you eat it or give it to your grandchild?" 

He said all people would say "give it to my grandchild."

Following Obama's dream, he argued, "[Is] eating the grandchildren's breakfast, lunch and dinner right now. And the [grandchildren] haven't been born yet."

It's not that Obama, Reid and Pelosi don't get it .... in point of fact, they do - what's so detestable and insidious is that they really don't care how devastating economic collapse is for everyone else; not only because they personally expect to be insulated but because the economic self-implosion of the United States must occur in order for their moronic left-wing, liberal ideology to become institutionalized.

Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize …. Thorbjorn Jagland’s Ambitions

In a 2011 CNN interview, Thorbjorn Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee was asked, “Has President Obama lived up to his Nobel Peace prize?”.

Jagland’s reply was,  “I think so. I’m as convinced as I was when he got it that he deserved it for many reasons.”

Apparently, White House staff never brought the interview to Obama’s attention, or maybe they did, and Obama thought the nominating process and the prize was all a big joke anyway !

On January 27^th, 2013 he sent a pre-recorded video message congratulating Henry Kissinger as the honoree at the ultra-exclusive Alfalfa Club dinner in Washington DC, joking how both he and the former Secretary of State had many things in common, including their Nobel Peace prizes: Kissinger for negotiating an end to the Vietnam War; “and I won mine for. . . ”

Obama looked off camera. “What did I win mine for ?”

Well, Obama here’s what you didn’t win it for … continuation of the CIA’s torture and rendition programs, and your role in the armed conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria. 

And then there’s your personal “Kill List” and the drone assassination program that has resulted in the deaths of 700 plus bystander civilians including 179 innocent children in Pakistan and Yemen. Where also, at least 3 American citizens have been targeted and killed without any “due process” other than your own interpretation of their Constitutional rights to life. 

When asked if the decision to put the first American on the Kill List – and then kill him - was difficult, Obama said, “It was an easy one.”.

While the first 2 were implicated and most probably involved in terrorist activities, the third American, a 16 year old boy, a minor, killed 2 weeks after the first two in a separate drone attack, was not. 

He only had the misfortune of having had a parent on the Obama “Kill List” and who according to former press secretary Robert Gibbs in attempting to justify the boy’s death, said, “I would suggest that you should have a far more responsible father if they are truly concerned about the well being of their children. I don't think becoming an al Qaeda jihadist terrorist is the best way to go about doing your business.”

In other words, according to an incoherent Gibbs, the presumed sins of the father is justification enough to kill the son. 

Congress having pressed the White House for an explanation of the legal authority for its “007 License to Kill” mentality, has so far been re-buffed by the Obama administration.

Recently, too, the United Nations has opened an official inquiry into the legality of the Obama drone assassination program.

Obama, however, remains unfazed and is content to now “profile” his victims without ascertaining actual identity as was required in the earlier stages of the program. He gives the order, the trigger is pulled, an explosion ensues, maybe some terrorists are killed, maybe not, but the body count of innocent civilians and children is likely to rise. 

Why? Because the blast radius of a Predator Drone Hellfire missile's 20 pound explosive warhead is at least 50 meters. 

For those who can't relate to the metric system yet, or that amount of destruction, it is the equivalent of a 110 yard or 330 foot diameter circle - or - imagine 2 NFL football fields side by side - and anything living - terrorist, civilian or innocent child - within that area when the missile strikes has a very high probability of ending up dead ! 

Would Americans remain silent if they really understood how devastating and destructive the drone strikes were and the toll they exact on innocent lives in contrast to the surgical precision of a sniper's bullet destined for a single adversary ?

Is it any wonder then, why the Obama Administration wants to downplay the extent of "civilian collateral damage" resulting from the widespread area blast effects of its drone strikes ?

Yes, in war civilian casualties are unfortunate, but according to the designer of the drone assassination program, John Brennan, who's also Obama's nominee to run the CIA - "we're only whacking the bad guys (circa)"      

Yeah, right !

Unlike the early stages of the program where high level Al Qaida operatives were positively identified, Obama is content now to kill low level threats indiscriminately - no longer must the US Military absolutely ascertain identity, they merely "profile" targets on the ground - and mistakes take place with an all too frequent regularity and lack of accountability.

No word on whether Jagland sleeps well at night.

History of the Preparation of Insulin - Homemade Insulin, Part 3….Did Eva Saxl mean Bergmann not Beckman ? Jensen's text

In the book, “Cheating Destiny: Living with Diabetes”, the author, James Hirsch recounts how Eva Saxl, an insulin diabetic and her husband, Viktor, managed to produce a homemade insulin using information from a medical text called “Beckman’s Internal Medicine”. They did this under duress in World War II in China during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai. Not only were they able to keep Eva alive with the homemade product but also another 200 diabetics in the Shanghai Ghetto where they lived.

Eva herself retold the story but with no mention of the Beckman’s medical text, shortly after the war, in the 50’s for Edward R. Murrow’s radio broadcast, “This I Believe.” - http://thisibelieve.org/essay/16957/   .  Eva Saxl died in 2002 in Santiago, Chile. 


There do not appear to be any records showing such a medical text “Beckman’s Internal Medicine” ever existed either in English or German (Innere Medizin). What does exist are medical textbooks published by Bergmann in Munich at the same time. Especially notable was the volume, “Insulin”, by Grevenstuk and Laquer, published by Bergmann in 1925. The book was written in German. Eva was an accomplished linguist, fluent in 5 languages. It was referenced by J.J.R. Macleod a professor of physiology in Toronto and one of the prominent researchers involved the development of Insulin, in his book “Carbohydrate Metabolism and Insulin”, published in 1926 by Longmans, Green, and Co. Ltd. of London.

Some of the difficulties and uncertainties encountered by the Saxls had to do with purification and potency of their homemade insulin.

Another early researcher of insulin, H. F. Jensen, authored a text entitled "Insulin" in 1938, published by The Commonwealth Fund, New York in which he described the early research and difficulties associated with the preparation of insulin. His work was referenced by numerous other investigators and authors.

What follows are excerpts from Jensen’s book for information purposes and is intended only to relate to the story of the historical development of Insulin.

Chapter 2. Preparation of Insulin

Page 27 Methods of Purification

"In the purification of insulin, the following methods are generally employed: a) isoelectric precipitation, b) precipitation as a salt, c) adsorption, and d) fractional precipitation with organic"

Page 28

"solvents. Somogyi, Doisy, and Shaffer (67) observed that most of the active principle can be precipitated from aqueous solutions by adjusting the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution to about pH 5. The precipitate contains the insulin in a very active form. Waldo (65, 66) independently made the same observation. This isoelectric method of purifying insulin is generally used: however, the potency cannot be increased beyond a certain stage even with repeated isoelectric precipitations.

     Dudley (29) purified the crude insulin, prepared by Collip's method, by precipitating the active material from aqueous solutions with picric acid. The insoluble picrate was then converted into a soluble hydrochloride by means of an alcoholic solution of hydrochloric acid.
    
     Boivin and his associates (17, 18) have apparently obtained very pure amorphous insulin preparations by a further purification of the picrate by isoelectric precipitation. Funk (34) employed flavianic acid as a precipitant and claimed to have isolated the hormone as a a flavianate. Dickens and his collaborators (21)have described a method for the purification of insulin consisting in the precipitation of the active material with a 2 per cent trichloracetic acid and the salting out of the insulin from the acid solution of the precipitate. This was followed by precipitation as an oxalate at pH 2.42 -3.7 by the addition of N/8 potassium oxalate to the solution of insulin hydrochloride. Purified insulin preparations were also obtained in the same way by various other workers (3, 17, 20, 55).

     Moloney and Findlay (49, 50) purified insulin by making use of the fact that the hormone is adsorbed by benzoic acid and by charcoal. Dingemanse likewise found charcoal a good adsorbent (22, 23), whereas Sandberg and Brand used kaolin (60). Alumina evidently cannot be employed for this purpose (24).

     Shonle (65) has described the method used for large-scale pro-"

Page 29

"duction of insulin at the Eli Lilly Research Laboratories. The fresh glands, finely ground, are extracted with alcohol containing one per cent sulfuric acid, and the alcoholic extract of the gland is concentrated in vacuo at 25 . After the fat has been removed, alcohol is added to the solution until the alcohol concentration reaches 80 per cent. The concentration of the alcohol in the filtrate from the inert protein material is then increased to 93 per cent; this causes the precipitation of insulin together with much inert protein material. The precipitate is further purified by isoelectric precipitations. In this way the insulin is secured for clinical use.

     Scott and Parker (63) have outlined the procedure followed at the Connaught Laboratories for preparing a highly purified insulin preparation. Fresh ox pancreas is dropped into acid aqueous alcohol and allowed to stand overnight. After centrifugation, the extracts are made alkaline with ammonium hydroxide (pH 8), the filtrate is reacidified, and the alcohol is distilled off in vacuo. The concentrate should have a pH of about 2. The protein material in the filtrate from the lipoid material is separated by salting out with 25 per cent sodium chloride. The precipitate is then dissolved in water and the protein reprecipitated by the addition of sodium chloride to 15 per cent concentration. The insulin protein precipitate is dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid. The solution is brought to pH 5 by the addition of 5 N sodium hydroxide and allowed to stand a 2  for one week. The precipitate which settles out is centrifuged off and dissolved in water containing sufficient sulfuric acid to bring the reaction to pH 2. Four volumes of absolut alcohol are added; after standing at room temperature for two days, the solution is filtered and absolut alcohol and ether are added to the alcoholic filtrate. The insulin protein is thus precipitated out and is further purified by isoelectric precipitation at pH 5. The isoelectric insulin precipi-"

"tate is dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid (pH 2.8) and sterilzed by means of a Seitz filter. It can then be used for therapeutic purposes.

     The first steps of Gerlough and Bates' (35) method are similar to those of Best and Scott's procedure (cited above). For further purification, the crude defatted insulin preparation is dissolved at pH 2.5-2.8, and the insulin protein is salted out by 16 per cent sodium sulfate. The precipitate is taken up in 60 per cent alcohol and the insulin precipitated from the filtrate by the addition of alcohol to a concentration of 90-92 per cent. Three isoelectric precipitations at pH 5.0 are made to remove any inert, soluble protein. In this way, products assaying 21-24 units per milligram have been obtained. In another scheme of purification, these investigators apply their observation that the solubility of insulin in aqueous alcohol is affected by the presence of certain inorganic salts.

Abel and Geiling (1) purified commercial insulin (iletin) by repeated precipitation with N/6 pyridine solution from dilute acetic-acid solution. The dry precipitate thus obtained was next extracted with 90 per cent phenol, in which the hormone is soluble. The insulin was then precipitated from the phenol solution by the addition of either dry ether or absolute alcohol. In this way these investigators were able to raise the rabbit unitage considerably. It was such a preparation which Abel and his associates first employed in the crystallization of the hormone.

     The data concerning the chemical and physical properties of insulin obtained by the study of these incompletely purified preparations are naturally inexact and therefore not reported here, but certain references are made to them in the chapter dealing with the physical and chemical properties of crystalline insulin. a description of the earlier chemical work may be found in various handbooks and reviews (25, 37, 43, 65, 72). Certainly,"

Page 31

"the early chemical work on these preparations already indicated the protein nature of the hormone ( 29, 66, 67 )."

Wikipedia - Protein Precipitation
Isoelectric point precipitation

The isoelectric point (pI) is the pH of a solution at which the net primary charge of a protein becomes zero. At a solution pH that is above the pI the surface of the protein is predominantly negatively charged and therefore like-charged molecules will exhibit repulsive forces. Likewise, at a solution pH that is below the pI, the surface of the protein is predominantly positively charged and repulsion between proteins occurs. However, at the pI the negative and positive charges cancel, repulsive electrostatic forces are reduced and the attraction forces predominate. The attraction forces will cause aggregation and precipitation. The pI of most proteins is in the pH range of 4-6. Mineral acids, such as hydrochloric and sulfuric acid are used as precipitants. The greatest disadvantage to isoelectric point precipitation is the irreversible denaturation caused by the mineral acids. For this reason isoelectric point precipitation is most often used to precipitate contaminant proteins, rather than the target protein. The precipitation of casein during cheesemaking, or during production of sodium caseinate, is an isoelectric precipitation.

US County Sheriffs .... Standing Firm for Constitutional Rights.

Across the Nation, County Sheriffs are sending a strong message to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Diane Feinstein, Chuck Schumer, Michael Bloomberg, Andrew Cuomo, Hillary Clinton and all the other gun grabbing progressives.

"We took an oath to uphold the Constitution and that includes the 2nd Amendment - Don't try to bring unconstitutional laws or executive orders to our jurisdictions because we won't enforce them !".

In a letter sent to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Sheriff Jon Lopey of Siskiyou County, California wrote:  "Our founding fathers got it right and many politicians are getting it wrong."

In the face of hysterical anti-gun measures the tide of pro-gun sentiment is snowballing with many law enforcement officials telling members of their communities to buy guns and get training to defend themselves because personnel and budget cutbacks are compromising their ability to provide police services to protect the public.

Obama .... Can't decide - Syria or the Congo?

Obama said in a New Republic magazine interview that he's struggling to decide about intervention in Syria where Syrian President Assad has slaughtered tens of thousands of his own people for nearly the last 2 years in a desperate attempt to maintain his power.

Both Secretary of State Clinton and Obama had earlier made a big issue about Assad using any of the chemical weapons stockpiled in his country, calling it a "red line" that if crossed would prompt an immediate and swift response by the US to remove Assad.

So much for the big threat against Syria used by the pair to placate the Israelis who also planned to attack Syria over the chemical weapons issue.

In December Assad used chemical weapons to attack opposition forces in the city of Homs and both Hillary and Barack know it happened from intelligence reports.

And the swift retaliation from the US for Assad violating Obama's "red line" ?  Well, Obama's still struggling with that one.

"And how do I weigh tens of thousands who've been killed in Syria versus the tens of thousands who are currently being killed in the Congo?" he said.

Here's a rather straightforward clue for you Barack - 

THEY DON'T HAVE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN THE CONGO THAT THREATEN THE REST OF THE WORLD !!!
 
Obama, you bear the largest share of responsibility for this mess and the few options remaining with your half-assed "lead from behind" and "sometimes they're going to go sideways" foreign policy.

You set the stage and directed the players and now you're whining about what to do about it as it all unravels throughout the entire mid east and northern Africa.

The Israelis tired of the broken Obama promises concerning their security and existence have promised that if the WMD's fall into the hands of terrorists, Israel will attack. 

And unlike our White House those guys do have both the resolve and the balls!

Hillary Clinton .... My Record of Accomplishment !

"My list of Accomplishment As Secretary of State by Hillary Clinton."

“Because of my influence Barrack Obama appointed 25 female ambassadors and cheap cookstoves can be found around the world”

"I got Osama bin Laden, making the world a much safer place." 


 or some similar drivel ....

I must admit I missed the Obama / Clinton farewell Tete a Tete at the White House where apparently once erstwhile political enemies are now fast bosom buddies - but then apparently I've also missed all of Clinton's accomplishments as Secretary of State for the last 4 years.

I imagine though, as she prepared the listing herself for her biography to be used as part of the official State Department archives and for her future political career narratives, it went sort of like this:

I maintained our alliance with Pakistan, uhh maybe shouldn't talk about that one since my boss, Obama is under investigation now by the UN for war crimes because of drone attacks indiscriminately  killing civilians and children. The Pakistani's aren't too happy about us right now, either. Nope, better cross that one off.

Ok, I successfully stopped North Korea's aggression against South Korea and their pursuit of ICBM’s that could reach the US Mainland. There was that nasty little matter of both exchanging artillery fire but nobody got killed. And the North Koreans said their last missile launch was just to put a satellite in orbit, but I know how they lie.

I successfully stopped a ground war invasion by Israel into Gaza, sort of. And I brought a lasting peace to Palestine and Israel with a settlement freeze but it has so many loopholes you can't really say it means anything. I kept Hamas from shelling Israel with rockets from the south – yeah, that’s been real iffy too. You’d think that Netanyahu would be grateful, but Noooo, he just keeps pushin and pushin. I mean what’s it going to take to satisfy that man?  Another crusade ?

I prevented the Iranians from enriching nuclear material for a bomb they want to use to blow the Israelis to smithereens with – at least until this week when they announced they were not slowing down but moving full steam ahead again. And then they went ahead and just launched their own ICBM capable rocket - Crap, everyone's squirming about that one!

I helped the anti Assad Syrian forces who just happen to be Al Qaeda from Libya get weapons by way of Turkey with secret meetings arranged by Ambassador Stevens- then that whole thing blew up in our faces in Benghazi with Stevens getting killed. Damn that Rand Paul for asking about weapons going to Syria through Turkey anyway, he can just go knocking on the CIA’s door. I’m not saying any more. And the whole mess, at this point, just what does it matter anyway ? And I know a lot of people are dying over there but just as many are dying in the Congo and we're not doing anything for them either.

Let's see, hmmm, I didn't really do anything about the drug cartel violence in Mexico and the US - skip that one …. except maybe help shepherd along a gun grab and gun ban in the United Nations - that worked out pretty well postponing the UN treaty so Obama could get re-elected and then having him call the delegation on his election night to go ahead with the treaty anyway. But that's not until March and I'll be long gone by then.

I got that sissy Obama to finally move on Libya and get rid of Qaddafi for his human rights atrocities but that hasn't worked out too well either because the "freedom fighters" who are actually terrorists themselves are committing worse atrocities and human rights violations than Qaddafi did. Then there are all of those weapons that got stolen by the terrorists right under our noses - Gawd, that’s gonna blow up in our faces everywhere someday - the Jordanians already intercepted some that were going to be used to blow up our embassy there - but there was that awful Algerian attack and killing of all those hostages in the natural gas fields.

And that Egyptian idiot Morsi after all we've done for him he’s still stirring up trouble with the Israelis and his own people  - trying to do a power grab of the government by coming up with his own constitution  - just who does he think he IS .... Obama ?   Probably can't use that one either since we didn’t support the "green" protests in Iran when those protestors unfortunately got killed. Or, the protests in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Bahrain either.

Let's see there was that “red line” thing that I and Barrack made such a big deal about  Syria not using chemical weapons or they would really, I mean really regret it cause we have troops over there in Jordan just waiting for a “go’ signal – and then those bastards used chemicals in December - Now the Israelis are all hot and bothered again saying they’ll go to war with Syria - good thing we can count on the press, they sure helped us play that down - otherwise both Obama and I would have to make good on our promises to go in get Assad for crossing the red line. Nope, don’t wanna talk about it. Oh well, Kerry can clean that mess up too.

Let’s see hmmm, I haven't done anything about the growing tensions over the Falkland Islands again, or about China and Japan pissing over property and mineral right in the Senkaku Islands.

The Chinese and Russians keep trying to knock off our dollar as the world's reserve currency but I don't understand all that mumbo jumbo financial stuff Bernanke’s always spouting about anyway - all I know is I'm a progressive and all progressives know that the interest piling up on all of our debt isn’t a good thing because it robs us of money that we could be spending. We have to get the deficits under control and the only way to do that is tax more so we have more money to pay off the interest so we can borrow more and keep on spending - and the Republicans, hah, they just want us to stop spending - what do they know anyway, they don't know anything about big government.

Women's rights now that has been a big thing for me - having Obama appoint 25 female ambassadors and getting cookstoves for the developing world. But that shooting of a 14 year old girl in the head by the Taliban, well all that did was only to remind everyone just how little meaningful progress there has really been in the plight of women worldwide.

My leadership at State is the reason we brought down the number 1 terrorist in the world - Osama bin Laden. Ok, maybe it was the CIA and Pentagon, but I was there in the situation room when the SEALS killed Bin Laden - There's a photo that proves it! Yeah, this one definitely stays in.
