I hope you're right. In fact, I'm sure you are, it's just a very uncomfortable thought I keep having. It's like a Labour/UKIP coaltition, it's not likely but even the possibility of it is enough to boggle the mind.

Hey Cain,

Of all people, my boss just sent me this asking if there's some sort of consipracy going on.

I'm very tempted to respond with: (WARNING - THIS LINK NOT SAFE FOR SANITY. SERIOUSLY. NOT JOKING.)
https://wikispooks.com/ISGP/dutroux/Belgian_X_dossiers_of_the_Dutroux_affair.htm

and ask what he thinks. Because seriously, if he wants to talk about this kind of shit at work I'm going to have to take it to the wall.

[Cain]

Those are some serious allegations.  I'm not going to believe them merely on the say-so of an anonymous blog, of course, and there are some giant leaps in the causality they outline, but it's not entirely unthinkable.

And yeah, if your boss wants to go down that route, might as well give him something with some meat to it. 

[Junkenstein]

Oh quite. Half of his sources are, well, him. So that's a little problematic.

Like Icke though, there's moments of plausibility and clarity so they're probably going to be convinced every line they've written is true before long. Probably a good one to watch for future insane allegations about babies on speed or whatever.

[Cain]

Yeah, I just skimmed it, then went back over.  It's pretty poor supposition and speculation.  There may be something to it, but I wouldn't believe it unless someone (Exaro News?) actually filled in the rather large gaps between the people named with evidence.

Also, there are comments on that blog talking about satanic pedophile cults.  And as you know from the X Dossiers, there was a curious incident involving an allegation of such things designed to throw the investigation into chaos. 

[Junkenstein]

Missed the comments, after the first couple of "Spot on!" I assumed it was sockpuppets and echo chamber all the way down.

[Cain]

Well that's a good suspicion, it is a conspiracy blog.

Remember when X-flu was around and Tamiflu was the answer to everyone's woes?

Hundreds of millions of pounds may have been wasted on a drug for flu that works no better than paracetamol, a landmark analysis has said.

The UK has spent £473m on Tamiflu, which is stockpiled by governments globally to prepare for flu pandemics,

The Cochrane Collaboration claimed the drug did not prevent the spread of flu or reduce dangerous complications, and only slightly helped symptoms.

The manufacturers Roche and other experts say the analysis is flawed.


The antiviral drug Tamiflu was stockpiled from 2006 in the UK when some agencies were predicting that a pandemic of bird flu could kill up to 750,000 people in Britain. Similar decisions were made in other countries.

Hidden data
The drug was widely prescribed during the swine flu outbreak in 2009.

Drug companies do not publish all their research data. This report is the result of a colossal fight for the previously hidden data into the effectiveness and side-effects of Tamiflu.

It concluded that the drug reduced the persistence of flu symptoms from seven days to 6.3 days in adults and to 5.8 days in children. But the report's authors said drugs such as paracetamol could have a similar impact.

On claims that the drug prevented complications such as pneumonia developing, Cochrane suggested the trials were so poor there was "no visible effect".

Surprise, it's actually not. Not a problem though. We'll be picking another animal shortly, claiming some kind of related disease and we'll be right back into shoving all the money at pharmaceutical companies.

Interesting that you can be charged for murder if the police shoot one of your victims.

Nirvana "were singular and loud and melodic and deeply original," said Michael Stipe

Article is trash and worthless, just wanted to remind you all that this is yet another reason why Michael Stipe is a dick.
