Are you saying that these machines are being set up to eliminate white people?

They are not. They are being set up to line the pockets of the manufacturer. A friend of Obama.

Do you think this could be payback for the program that whites allegedly used to try to eliminate the black population through the use of AIDS?

Spreadin' the glove: TSA infecting U.S.?
Those latex gloves Transportation Security Administration agents wear
while giving airline passengers those infamous full-body pat-downs
apparently aren't there for the safety and security of passengers - only the TSA agents.
"Herpes via latex glove ... ewwww," wrote one participant
on the independence-minded AR15 website forum."


Doctors Sound TSA Germ Alert
Syphilis, lice, gonorrhea, ringworm, chlamydia, staph, strep,
noro and papilloma viruses all are part of the
possible fringe benefits when airline passengers
next go through a full hands-on pat-down
by agents of the federal government's Transportation Security Administration"


Enhanced pat-downs and latex gloves - how often do screeners change them?"

IMPERIAL CONTROL ==================================

Obama: TSA's Nude Screening a Necessary Inconvenience





TSA: Some gov't officials to skip airport security
Cabinet secretaries, top congressional leaders and an exclusive group
of senior U.S. officials are exempt from toughened new airport screening procedures"


"..According to a Center for Responsive Politics review of the most recent
personal financial disclosure filings, eight members of Congress --
three Democrats and five Republicans --
owned at least $2,000 worth of stock in L-3 Communications, which
is one of the two main contractors involved in the full-body scanning machines.
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) disclosed possessing the most stock
with a minimum investment of at least $500,000 and a maximum value of $1 million.
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.).............$500,001 to $1,000,000
Rep. Michael Castle (R-Del)...........$16,002 to $65,000
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas)......$16,002 to $65,000
Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.).................$15,001 to $50,000
Rep. Ron Klein (D-Fla.)...................$1,001 to $15,000
Rep. Robert Scott (D-Va.)...............$1,001 to $15,000
Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.)......................$2,173
Rep. Kenny Marchant (R-Texas).......$2,086"

I heard it was a long term plot that originally came from the RFWD organisation...Radiologist for World Domination, and Ayers took it a step further...but I believe it’s still funded and protected by RFWD.

Also, keep in mind that ABC has announced that season two of V will debut on January 4, 2011.

X-Rays (and gamma radiation) are penetrating radiation that is not readily stopped by the skin. Biologically, x-rays will cause cancer in cells that reproduce the most often, such as fetal cells and bone marrow. Skin cells are not reproduced/replaced often and are thus not affected by X-rays as are most internal organs.

Thus, X-rays do not adversely affect one race over another.

As to your assertion that whites fly in greater proportion than blacks (which I do not necessarily support) would only have relevance if you could show that these machines are installed only in airports from areas that have a greater proportion of whites. For example, are there any such machines in the New Orleans airport vs. the Salt Lake City airport?

Not to make an argument for or against the proposition being considered, but those two purposes are not mutually exclusive.

An argument in favor of the proposition is that if a mass killing were undertaken suddenly and directly, social resistance would be equally sudden and direct, an undesirable situation for the would-be Marxist revolutionary. Better to have the effect be long and drawn out, with many private individuals encountering their demise one at a time, not in the shocking horror of a mass death camp (the original Weather Underground vision), but in the individual quietude of a hospital bed with family and friends. How humane.

An argument against the proposition is that while Marxism uses racial themes to motivate population blocks, it is an equal opportunity destroyer. Assuming a plot of the magnitude you suggest really exists, it would be steered by a Soros-like individual, and geared not to the destruction of whites per se but to leaders of the conservative middle class, arguably also a population more likely to be flying than the unwashed poor. But it would bee too dull a weapon to accomplish its purpose, as many in the highest reaches of the conservative middle class (and above) have alternatives to commercial flight.

All I know is this. I have a consulting job with the state right now that concerns our readiness for radiological disasters. There are people here, in our state government, who do dose assessment for a living, who do not trust the backscatter devices, despite the published data. And published data may not matter even if it’s theoretically correct because, based on experience with other such devices, if the calibration is off, and the image quality is poor, the ill-trained TSA staff will probably just turn up the intensity to get a better image, much to the dismay of the victim’s dna, I’m sure.

On the subject of contamination to be worried about, I just saw this on AOL. Apparently millions of homes have an asbestos containing insulation that could cause lung cancer. My first thought was why hasn’t this administration done anything about it. Then I read the entire article and saw that in 2003 Christine Todd Whitman at EPA wanted to make a public announcement. It was opposed by VP Dick Cheney, and Halliburtin apparently faced some liability. So now my thought is again, why hasn’t this administration done anything about it.

I am renovating an old home that has some kind of crumbly blown in insulation. Does anyone know how it can be tested?

We have them in Detroit.
I can tell you from personal experience the ratio of white fliers to other races is about equal.

This is conspiracy thinking on such an interesting and somewhat logical level - I have to ask - are you Russian?

Men should be worried about the drop in fertility, as the little fellas are very sensitive to radiation. That’s all I have to say.

I am flattered by your curiosity, but, no, I am not Russian. I am Greek; my people have been generating conspiracy theories, both with and without any kind of logical support, since long before the very existence of the Rus.

In fact, my people were instrumental in generating the image of Russians as being conspiracy-minded. For example, Ivan the Terrible, a poster child for conspiracy theories taken to an extreme, and who lived a real Greek Tragedy of a life, actually was part Greek. His grandma was Zoe Paleologos, niece of the last Greek Byzantine Emperor.

I wish there was proof these measures were stopping terrorism - I fear that's not the case...

A shared grandma, perhaps?

Looking at the TSA situation from various positions is important... I don't think dna damage is as intentional as it seems - more like 'men of action' wanting to DO SOMETHING... Men of action (as opposed to 'men of thought' - often overlook the unintended consequences. This might be a classic case of that. If so, your musings - brought up early - could shine a light on that situation. Maybe in time to prevent future problems.... Thanks for an interesting post.
