Mystery Illness in Uganda...Sure

Anytime I hear about "new" illnesses or "mystery" illnesses I generally think that it's not really new or a mystery, but rather some bio-weapon or experiment. So, when I hear that more than 3,000 children in northern Uganda are under the grips of a debilitating mystery illness, I just don't think it's true at all.

This particular ailment, called nodding disease, is decimating children and ravaging families. It ONLY effects children and always leads to death. It takes a healthy child and turns them into a waster, seizure prone shell that often wastes away, bedridden.

Reports claim that officials are searching for the cause of this illness. They have looked for parasites, river-born illnesses and have turned up nothing. I don't buy it, because this is a new phenomena and we're expected to believe that these people lived in this area for how many generations with no problems like this until now?

I'd love to know if there were any UN activity, World Health Organization actions or vaccinations programs, etc... I find it too hard to believe that these poor people are suffering from anything natural. If any of you have additional information please send it our way.

Congress is Full of Inside Traders

You know what happens if you or I get inside information on a business and then use that information to buy or sell  stocks in order to profit? We get in trouble and most likely end up in jail. You know what happens if Congress does this you know what they get? Rich.

In November 6o Minutes broke this story about Congress and their free pass on insider trading. They called it "political intelligence" and suggested that this is why Congress people enter office with regular bank accounts and leave office multi-millionaires.

That's right, members of Congress can legally use insider information on the inner workings of companies, up and coming business maneuverings and deals in order to profit.

Here is the original 60 Minutes story.

Time Magazine Feeds American Readers Junk

I saw something on John Stewart's Daily show that really made me mad. It seems like Time magazine thinks that the United States can't handle real news. Either that or they simply want to hide from us all the real events happening across the globe.

Check out this image here to the left. The overseas version shows a seen from Egypt on December 5 from 2011.  In America we got a fluff piece on how anxiety is good for you, with this silly cartoon cover.  The rest of the world got news about the protests and revolts in Egypt.

This isn't a rare occurring, in fact it's standard practice for Time Magazine. That's right, it seems like they regularly feed Americans this kind of light-weight garbage while the rest of the world hears about revolts, protest and real world news. Check out this sample below:

U.S. readers got to read about the science of favoritism while the rest of the world read about the declining Euro.So while the rest of the world deals with protests, revolts, violence, collapsing monetary systems you and I are looking at junk-articles. This should make you all angry - pass it a long and why not tell Time what you think?

Read one of these articles and decide for yourself.
