Alzheimer's Cure Memory And Cognitive Function Fully Restored Potentially In Sufferers By New Ultrasound Treatment Successful In 75% Of Diseased Mice

        25 March 2015, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA - Two researchers at the Queensland Brain Institute at the University of Queensland earlier this month reported in a study published in the Science Translational Medicine journal published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science that a non-invasive ultrasound treatment had fully restored the memory of 75% of mice without damaging surrounding brain tissue. The researchers found that the ultrasound treatment cleared their brains of neurotoxic amyloid plaques which are responsible for memory and cognitive function loss in those suffering from Alzheimer's.
       One of the researchers Jurgen Gotz in a press release referenced in Science Alert by BBC Crew on 18 March 2015 linked to second below said that in his opinion the term "breakthrough" was appropriate for the treatment which in addition to being non-invasive did not require the use of any drugs. Gotz however warned the study results are preliminary as the treatment next will be tested in higher animals such as sheep and if successful is hoped to be scheduled for human trials in 2017.
       The Ninth Amendment without having further researched the following nor claiming any medical knowledge whatsoever upon which to rely nevertheless in the meantime refers interested readers to its 27 September 2014 post linked to third below concerning a British Medical Journal (BMJ) study finding a possible link of benzodiazepines and Z-class sleeping drugs to Alzheimer's onset. One MD, Phd. commenter to the New York Times article reporting on the BMJ study referenced in the Ninth Amendment post in refutation to the study's proposition observed that "there is a fairly large scientific literature showing benzodiazepines reduce the deposition of amyloid as well protect from the toxicity of the abnormal protein" therefore protecting from Alzheimer's onset. The Ninth Amendment emphasizes that it has no medical knowledge whatsoever on which anyone should rely. Pertinent links to the full BMJ study as well as the New York Times article including the above and all comments can be found via the below Ninth Amendment link.
       According to the Alzheimer's Association there are more than 5 million Americans suffering from Alzheimer's which with the United States aging population has been called a "fast growing world-wide epidemic" by the National Institutes of Health. Readers interested in more information on the claimed "breakthrough" ultrasound treatment headlining this post will find more information via the first link below to the 24 March 2015 Huffington Post article reporting on it. Yes that is a lot of links to remember.

Britain PM Cameron Economic Policies Akin To "Repeatedly Hitting Yourself In The Face" NY Times Krugman Strongly Warns As British Election Looms

       Tuesday, 24 March 2015, NEW YORK, NY - The entire editorial board of the Ninth Amendment warmly welcomes and expresses its gratitude to existing and new readers from throughout the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth countries. Many of these site visitors may find the following of particular interest as well as the quickly growing readership from throughout the United States and worldwide for whose readership the Ninth Amendment also gives its heartfelt thanks.
       As Great Britain's election "looms" in six weeks New York Times columnist Economics Nobel Prize Winner Princeton Professor Paul Krugman emphatically warns that British Prime Minister David Cameron's economic policies have been akin to "hitting yourself repeatedly in the face" with austerity spending which "feels great when it stops". Professor Krugman further demonstrates why the previous Labour Party economic policies actually had been good for Great Britain's economy. As had been the case previously in the United States but thankfully passed Krugman gives potentially dire warning as Britain's election looms in six weeks that "Medimacro" economic crapspeak dominates the British media with true economic theories only apparently being voiced and maintained by  Oxford and other academics.
       Interested readers can find more information in the New York Times Professor Krugman column published this past weekend which is linked to below.

Freaky Ted Cruz Slammed By New York Times Entire Editorial Board As "Weird" In Self-Contradictory "Imagine" Speech Divorced From "Reality"

       Tuesday, 24 March 2015, Lynchburg, VA -The potentially dangerous to all Tea Party Freak Texas U.S. Senator Ted "Stonehead" Cruz yesterday announced his early entrance into the 2016 Presidential race giving what the New York Times entire editorial board described as a self-contradictory speech divorced from "reality" to a carefully chosen but nevertheless forced-to-attend unenthusiastic crowd many wearing "Rand Paul" t-shirts at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. The Times pointed out that Cruz while repeatedly invoking the word "imagine" to the extent that it seemed a refrain from the John Lennon song of the same name that it in fact could not be more divergent as among other things Cruz himself and his father both immigrants nevertheless called for the ridiculously impossible "sealing" of the Nation's borders.
       Other than that the speech was so much at odds with itself as well as Freak Cruz' record the major accomplishment of which appears to have been to cost the United States an estimated $24 billion being the "brains" behind the disastrous 2013 federal government shutdown that the Times concluded the most accurate description of Freak Ted Cruz was that he was "weird". As previously emphasized by the Ninth Amendment although the fanatical Cruz is doubtless among the top tier of freaks the Republican Party has produced his past strongly suggests that the extreme Cruz may be "dangerous" weird. As arguably the Tea Party cult's leading voice it was perhaps fitting that the fanatical freak Cruz' speech was as muddled as his cult's thinking decipherable perhaps the Times suggested only to Fox "News" (and also broadcast by law on C-Span).

"StingRay" Secret Cellphone Surveillance Tracking Technology Deployed To Police Nationwide Without Public Disclosure To Track All Cellphone Users

       Sunday, 22 March 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - New "StingRay" surveillance technology has been deployed to police departments nationwide to track cellphone users. The deployment has required that law enforcement receiving the technology sign a non-disclosure agreement to keep the equipment secret from the American public now subject to blanket nationwide location surveillance via the tracking of cellphone users.

       This further serious erosion of innocent Americans' Constitutional, privacy and other rights to be free from continuous government surveillance has raised very serious concerns voiced by civil rights groups including the American Civil Liberties Union and others. The Ninth Amendment editorial board as a public service disseminates this information and and reminds all victims and those aware of continuing government encroachments in this and any area to remain vigilant and active in communicating such information to others in the United States under the protections enshrined in the U.S. Constitution First Amendment and all other applicable laws.

       Interested readers may find more information in the New York Times article dated 15 March 2015 linked to below. God Bless America and the upholding of the United States Constitution against continuing serious government attacks which ultimately threaten to undermine the core compact and fundamental rights and values holding our One Nation Under God together in the face of growing threats not just from without but from within most notably being the State. "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Benjamin Franklin

Texas Senator "Freaky" Ted Cruz Tea Party Chameleon Who Cost U.S. $24 Billion First Canadian To Announce GOP U.S. Presidential Bid - REPUBLISH

       Sunday, 22 March 2015, HOUSTON - Texas just keeps on giving as its latest "rising Lone Star" Senator "Freaky" Ted "Moronic Shutdown" Cruz apparent "mastermind" of the 2013 Federal Government shutdown which cost this country an estimated $24 billion and Tea Party nightmare loudmouth kingpin reportedly according to the Houston Chronicle plans to be the first potentially "major" Republican candidate expected to announce tomorrow Monday, 23 March 2015 his candidacy for President launching the GOP primary race.
     With his new glasses which unfortunately did not come with a new brain one expected recycled opponent will be Indicted Idiot Texas Ex-Governor Rick "Payback" Perry unless he is in prison for abuse of power charges for which he faces a 99-year sentence if convicted. Interested readers will find below a link to the New York Times article reporting the expected Cruz announcement including therein a link to its 2013 article chronicling the last desperate hours leading to the disastrous 2013 government shutdown.
       For some background on the xenophobic Canadian born immigrant Cruz born to immigrant Cuban parents especially focusing on his three years at law school interested readers may go to the second link below to a 2013 Boston Globe article describing his relentless intractability which drew the antipathy of many students as it still does many of his Senate colleagues today and potentially foreshadows an ineffective uncompromising leader who moreover due to his apparent lack of principles could pose significant risk to all if given any more power in addition to the $24 billion he needlessly already has cost all Americans solely to serve his own failing ambitions.

(REPUBLICATION) CIA Director John Brennan Murder Architect Of 2010 "Disposition Matrix" Capture/Kill List Including Of U.S. Citizens On Home Soil Undenied By AG Eric Holder - Nominated For CIA Director Over Senate Concerns - Later Per Contractor Stratfor Disclosed Obama WH E-Mail Order To "Go After Persons Publishing Material Negative To Obama WH" - John Brennan Then Ordered "Investigative Reporter Witch Hunt" Directing Rolling Stone Michael Hastings Horrendous Murder Aided By FBI (By Signature "Cyber Car Attack" Per Former Bush Official Richard Clarke) On Eve Of Rolling Stone Publication Of John Brennan Explosive Expose Then Never Published (Republication With Minor Editorial Changes Here)

      Monday, 5 January 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Ninth Amendment editorial board in an effort expeditiously to disseminate information via the enclosed link to interested/concerned readers briefly here summarizes some of the most serious assertions made in the Digital Journal article (the "Article") linked to below.
       In short according to the Article CIA Director John Brennan somehow has survived through first the Republican Bush (43) and now Obama Democratic Administration first as National Security Adviser despite a very shadowy past of significant concern including a very disturbing record of deep involvement with and leadership roles in illegal deadly "covert" operations such as "Assassination Czar" leading to questions as to why President Obama ever would have placed such a potentially dangerous and/or murderous person in the position of CIA Director. Brennan has been "credited" with being the "archhtect" of the 2010 initiated "Disposition Matrix" operated by the executive branch highly secretive National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) which apparently believes it is above the Constitution and any law or punishment in its criminally insane deranged conspiracy targeting U.S. citizens for assassination even on U.S. soil by use of a metadata matrix supposedly identifying persons with whom to be "dealt" up to and including murder simply to be killed with no judicial process whatsoever.
       Apparently now that the CIA is killing people through "Lethal Surveillance Teams" with murder by drones and the NSA, NCTC and others through the use of "metadata" a new term has had to be devised for the new century of government-sanctioned murder for "operations" which now are to be known apparently as the more modern ambiguously uninformative term "dispositions" at for least ones in which persons are "disposed of" such as unwanted U.S. citizens. Apparently the Founding Fathers overlooked proposing an Amendment making clear that the new Country's citizens also had the right "Not to be killed by the State with no adjudication for no reason". Incidentally there is no need for a "new" term for these age-old activities which have been known since English common law as well as long-established U.S. laws simply as "first degree murder" and "intent" and "aiding and abetting" and being "accessories before and after the fact" as well as "conspiracy" to commit murder just to name a few.
       The systematic killings "based on metadata" confessed to by former C.I.A. chief General William Hayden referred to here in an earlier November 2014 post in the Ninth Amendment of U.S. citizens on U.S. soil reportedly is a fact which Attorney General Eric Holder refused to deny when asked point blank. Brennan's extremely disturbing record previously as a CIA deputy director and chief-of-staff to George Tenet also with connections to the highly secretive NCTC in murdering U.S. citizens was cause for great concern by the Senate upon President Obama's nomination of Brennan for CIA director which concern prompted letters to Brennan by Senators querying Brennan if he considered killing U.S. citizens to be Constitutional which also included an unsuccessful filibuster to block Brennan's confirmation by Senator Rand Paul.
       The Obama Administration reportedly later issued a secret order disclosed in a "Shadow CIA" defense contractor Stratfor email to "[g]o after persons publishing material negative to the Obama White House" followed by a Brennan-ordered "Investigative Reporter Witch Hunt" of investigative reporters. Following the issuance of this order Rolling Stone "Fearless" 33-year-old journalist Michael Hastings was killed in a horrendous assassination by probable "Cyber Car Attack" not difficult to do according to former Bush Administration Official Richard Clarke in which control of Hastings' brand new leased Mercedes could easily have been seized remotely accelerating the car to over 100 miles per hour rendering the car such that he could not brake running six red lights and shortly thereafter swerving sixty degrees also by possible remote CIA seizure of steering control into a tree and exploding with a huge fireball rising into the sky.
       Witnesses and a nearby pizza shop video made of the assassination (murder) of Michael Hastings show that the car probably actually exploded in a tremendous probable on board explosion throwing up a huge fireball actually before hitting the tree. The apparent CIA (possibly FBI aided) bombing appeared a bit too large for the purpose as any reasonable person witnessing the event or watching the video available in the Article linked to below may observe that this in no way appears the result of just a car explosion.
       The video appearing to show the probable Brennan ordered assassination (murder) is available for interested/concerned readers in the Digital Journal article linked to below. After initially being helpful local authorities reportedly have clammed up and repeatedly delayed disclosure of any police report or information from Hastings vehicle's "black box" now secured into cars just as in airplanes. Mercedes in Germany which for the past years has improved the safety of its vehicles such that it is virtually impossible for them to explode on any impact whatsoever immediately sent a team of shocked engineers to the United States to determine what had happened to the car. After first being allowed to do an initial inspection of the car Mercedes to has been rebuffed despite repeated requests to continue its investigation of the the cause of the explosion. Not surprisingly the car is not available for inspection.
       The probably assassinated (murdered) Rolling Stone reporter Michael Hastings had been on U.S. Government military and clandestine agencies' "hit lists" since his well-known investigative report published in Rolling Stone magazine after spending three days with then General Stanley McChrystal commander of NATO's International Security Assistance Force and U.S. Forces - Afghanistan and in which McChrystal and his senior staff repeatedly made made disparaging and possibly racist remarks openly mocking their Commander-In-Chief President Barack Obama and their civilian commanders in the White House. Rolling Stone's publication of Hasting's article then brought down the career of General McChrystal who was recalled by President Obama to Washington at which time McChyrstal resigned his post.
       McChrystal's former boss General David Petraeus was at that time commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Princeton Woodrow Wllson School Alumnus Petraeus later was named CIA Director by President Obama serving briefly for just over a year from 2011 to 2012 before resigning his position confronted by a stupefying scandal in which the former four-star general had an extra-marital affair with his "biographer" reported using his CIA computer for email communications with his mistress in which his chosen CIA a password was equivalent approximately to using the name of a family pet such as "Spot."
      Finally the normally fearless Michael Hastings on the day of his probable murder was according to friends as "frantic" sending out e-mails to all his friends without his customary polite greetings but telling friends he believed he was being followed by the FBI and uncharacteristically telling one Army friend that he "had to get off the radar" for a while. He was later seen looking underneath his car and told his wife that he was "onto a big story". He told her that his next story due to come out in Rolling Stone magazine was on CIA Director John Brennan. Rolling Stone said in the wake of Hastings' death that it still would publish Hastings' Brennan article in two weeks in any case. Rolling Stone however in fact did not publish the story two weeks later as promised and never has since. Moreover it also has said that Hastings' information on Brennan has become unavailable.
       The Ninth Amendment's query is if the reported information about President Obama's CIA Director John Brennan is true besides the numerous murder charges listed above and many possible other criminal charges would these facts also make him a serial murderer? The linked to Digital Journal article with videos of Rolling Stone reporter Michael Hastings' death and local television news reports for interested/concerned readers follows directly below. Our hearts go out to the wife, family friends and loved ones of Michael Hastings. May God Rest His Soul.

Petition To Stop "No More National Parks Bill" (MAST Act) Supported By Right-Wing Republicans Favoring Short-Term Profit Above Our National Environmental And Historical Heritage For Ourselves And Future Generations

       Monday, 2 March 2015 - The editorial board of the Ninth Amendment asks readers please to consider signing the below CREDO petition to Congress. Thank you.

• Josh Nelson, CREDO Action

To Ninth Amendment Readers

Tell Congress: Reject the “No More National Parks” bill. Tell Congressional Republicans:  “Oppose the anti-environment and pro-corporate MAST Act, which would prevent the president from exercising his authority to designate and protect new national monuments without going through a crippling and unnecessary congressional and state approval process.” Add your name: Dear Martin, For more than 100 years, the Antiquities Act has allowed presidents to use their executive authority to protect America’s public lands by designating national monuments. It’s why we have national treasures like the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona and Chimney Rock National Monument in Colorado. It’s a presidential privilege that has literally shaped America’s landscape and its history, but Republicans in Congress now think it’s time to end all of that. Last month, Republican Representative Don Young introduced a bill that would strip the president of this authority.1 The MAST Act would overhaul the Antiquities Act, making it nearly impossible for presidents to designate new national monuments. It’s a cynical attempt to forever block the president’s ability to protect lands from drilling and mining companies that want to exploit these lands for profit. Sign the petition: Stop Republicans from blocking new national parks. Click here to sign the petition. The way the law works now, presidents can quickly set aside public lands for protection and conservation through proclamations, instead of going through the more complicated congressional process of creating a national park. In fact, it’s often the first step to creating a national park – the Grand Canyon was first designated a monument under the Antiquities Act by Theodore Roosevelt. Here’s what’s really ironic: Rep. Don Young, the sponsor of the bill, features a photo of Denali National Park and Preserve, which was originally declared a monument under the Antiquities Act in 1978, as the background on his own congressional website.2 Protecting the Antiquities Act and stopping this bill isn’t just about safeguarding America’s environment and historical heritage – it’s also an economic issue. National monuments generate tourism and economic activity in places that wouldn’t receive it otherwise. If we don’t stop the MAST Act, it could be a big win for the Republican Congress’s right-wing agenda. We can’t allow that to happen. Click the link below to sign the petition: http://act.credoaction.com/sign/reject_republican_parks_bill?t=5&akid=13242.5397176.5hQ8q9 Thank you for your activism.
