Dr. Mehment Oz Squashes The Embryonic Stem Cell Debate On Oprah Show Yesterday

Yesterday on Oprah Dr. Oz explains to Oprah and Michael J. Fox why embryonic stem cell research is dangerous and won't cure Parkinson's, but Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell research will!

But of course Oprah being uber liberal summarizes Dr. Oz’s argument for adult stem cells with two short paragraphs, hidden 11 pages deep in a 13 page summary of the show found on oprah.com:

“Thanks to recent scientific discoveries, Dr. Oz says stem cells aren’t the only solution. ‘We went to a place we never thought we would go. I can take a little bit of your skin, take those cells and get them to go back in time so they’re like they were when you were first made.’”

“Dr. Oz says these skin cells, which contain your genes and are less prone to cancer, will be the ones that are ultimately used to cure Parkinson’s. ‘I think we’re single digit years away from making a big impact in the lives of [people with] Parkinson’s disease, but also diabetics and heart attack victims,’”

Oprah.com not only avoided quoting Oz as saying “the stem cell debate is dead,” but carefully avoided the words “stem cell” and “embryonic’ when quoting or summarizing his remarks.

Oz did in fact say stem cells were the solution, but instead of backing ESCR, he advocated adult stem cells as the future of medical breakthroughs. (Source)

Don't let the title of this blog deceive you. Yes, I'm a Conservative Black Woman -- Not to be confused with Republican Black Woman. At this point I am in fact a Political Atheist. I believe with every fiber of my being that America is no longer a Constitutional Republic but rather a Corporate Fascist Oligarchy. Our Presidents are just the puppets, tools, spokespersons for the Powers that Be...Council of Foreign Relations and various other NGO's who are beholden to the International Banking Cabal. No, I'm not a Conspiracy Theorist -- I am a Conspiracy Researcher and I'd advise you to do the same. Who said "I would not have you ignorant?" Yes, that's my "handler" for all of those who think I have one. Over the course of writing this blog. My paradigm has shifted ENTIRELY. Yes, the paragraph below still applies but the Left\Right, Democrat\Republican head fake no longer applies to me. I WOKE UP!!!!

"I am fed up with what has happening within the black community. Too many of our families are broken, too many of us are morally degenerate and too many of us are willing to blame all of our pathology on slavery, George Bush, the Republican party or anything but our failures as Parents, Husbands, Wives and Christians."

My Favorite Quotations.....

Truth is scarcely found. But integrity and truth are hardly found within the Black population as a whole at least not where it involves black people. Most blacks have pledged allegiance to their blackness, not truth, not to America, not even to God as many profess. Integrity and truth has to go out the window if it somehow poses a threat to the "positive" image of blackness. ~Anonymous

Regarding Obama's hit on Gadhafi's family: "He's spineless and shameless, except when his masters unleash him on people of color. Then he becomes a pit bull--a real life Sambo/Quimbo doing the dirty work of Simon Legree. TPTB knew exactly what they were doing when they "selected" Obama to manage their psychopathocracy." ~ Makheru Bradley

"Whenever I hear cats start talking that "community" shit I know they are not serious. No one is accountable in conversations about "da community". That "we as a people"... Plantation Negro segmentation nonsense is Kool-Aid left over from the 70's. It perpetuates the illusion that there is even such a thing as a "black community". There aint no "community" and hasn't been in 40 years. Most Negros don't even know their neighbors."The only effective group is FAMILY. Families are the cells of a society. Destruction of the cell is cancer. An effective institution, expectation and habit of marriage is the antidote." ~Denmark Vesey(A Bloggin' Beast!!!!)

The irony of having an economic system that you hate be the source of your entitlement that is in excess of your productive capacity. -- Constructive Feedback (Blogger Extraordinaire)

Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion – in the long run, these are the only people who count. -Robert A. Heinlein

Illumination of the above Frederick Douglass quote by blogger extraordinaire Constructive Feedback

With all due respect to this great I am not sure that he could have imagined the day where:

"Non-justice" is delivered by the hands of favorable officials with racial diversity that realize "Black on Black violence" is not seen as "violent" as other modalities
Where allowing "ignorance to prevail" is a favorable strategy for the retention of power by those who position themselves as saviors
Where "conspiracy theories" are effective tools to allow people to remain unified against an external threat - even when it has moved away and they are all by themselves - otherwise having to manage the human resources before them toward a more conscious end.

In this environment - Robbery, the oppression of intimidation, and degradation put in the form of a music genre lead to an inevitable condition of insecurity for persons and property.
