David Keene, the President of the “American Conservative Union,” got his ass handed to him by John Ziegler on video.
Keene is a BS conservative who sold himself out to Arlen Specter and then tried to solicit Fedex to give him millions to write a positive op-ed.
Ziegler was supposed to be on a panel at the conference where this encounter occured, but got booted after putting the tough questions to Keene.
I’m not by any stretch of the imagination a Ziegler lover, but this video is absolutely sick.

This will come as no shock to those that have been following the abhorrent practices of AstraZeneca, one of the world’s most destructive pseudoscience corporations in this blogger’s humble opinion.
The Washington Post (not my usual first news source) has produced a surprisingly decent and balanced report about a study from 1997 showing that AstraZeneca’s flagship poison which they call Seroquel, was no more effective than older ‘antipsychotics’ (industry term) and had far worse side effects.
Psychonauts the world over will lament, “Well, duh!” This Serotonin Antagonist is designed to disable the tryptamine system in the human brain – one of the most important and study-worthy neurochemical systems. It’s a sledgehammer of a drug, and really has no business as a therapy for people who have any possibility of recovery and leading a normal life.
As students of the psychedelic mind, it’s important that we question this toxin and all others that seek to disable the neurochemical system that we know to be connected to spirituality, insight, love, and our sense of the profound. It is alarming that this drug is available for a medical professional to administer, but not LSD, Psilocybin, or MDMA.

It seems that at least two Universities in Canada have banned a poster with a drawing depicting a gunship with the word “Israel” on it firing a missile at a young boy.
To my mind, a college campus can ban no poster on the basis of its content and still claim to promote a free-thinking environment. Even if this poster is a little over-the-top, there is no reason for a ban. If it’s really that offensive, other students will ensure that it is removed. After all, it’s college!
