Israel will get war!Some Current Percept

Israel will get war!Some Current Perceptions Regarding 11 September 2001By: Russ Granata (Speech on Revisionist Conference in Trieste, Italy, on October 6th and 7th of 2001 Conference) PRICEof supporting Israel - The Big Lie - The true reason behind the attack of September 11 - David Duke´s letter to the President of the United States -To President Bush: halt funding for Israel: We must cut off the source of terrorism -Jews and Crime - Radio Islam - Ahmed Rami - Palestine - Judaism - Zionism - America supported the Israeli ethnic cleansing of 700,000 Palestinians - human rights! America is accused of supporting terrorism for backing Israel, to killed 40,000 Lebanese - How the President of the United States could dine in the White House with Israel Sharon, a man with a proven history of massacring civilians, and who even Israel held responsible for the cold-blooded murder of 2000 people at the Sabra and Shatila camps in Lebanon. America is also called a terrorist state for causing the death of more than 500,000 Iraqi children. The mass media has told the American people a Big Lie about the attack on September 11. They have purposely lied about why ithappened so as to cover up the true reasons for the attack. Not understanding the real reasonswhy we were attacked will cost America the loss of more lives, our prosperity and our freedom.

Saliva and serum samples were collected

Saliva and serum samples were collected from eight healthy volunteers every two hours during a 26-hour period. Melatonin concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay after chloroform extraction using radioiodinated melatonin as a tracer. Five of the subjects had high serum melatonin levels at night (peak levels higher than 75 pg/ml); in three subjects the highest serum melatonin concentration was 20-40 pg/ml. All subjects had low levels (P <0.001, was obtained for all detectable value pairs (n= 73). The regression and correlation coefficients were almost equal for the peak values of melatonin and during the rising and descending phases of the secretion patterns. However, no significant correlation was found between low daytime salivary and serum concentrations when calculated separately. In the five high-secretors the melatonin levels in saliva reflected reliably the changes in serum, but in the three low-secretors the correlation between salivary and serum melatonin was not significant. The proportion of melatonin found in saliva decreased with increasing serum melatonin levels. Circadian rhythm parameters were estimated by single cosinor analysis. The acrophases did not differ significantly within a subject in the concomitant measurements of serum and salivary melatonin. The measurements of salivary melatonin levels seem valid for studies on melatonin rhythms, but the melatonin concentrations measured in saliva do not always consistently reflect the absolute concentrations in blood.
