Nobels, Red Cross, MDA, Sammaruga, Stangl, Barbie & Mengelian genetics

What the Fuck?

(I'm a biochemist from Finland, the least corrupt country the third
time in a row. I'm from the country of Helsinki Declaration in 1964
against experiments wiht human beings, and I'm interested on the stem
cells.)

Most embarrassingly, at the first lectures of biochemistry we were
told by a professor emeritus of a saying that the subject was not
practiced outside Germany before the Jews were cast out. Although this
was found out as a piece of humour by my unimaginative mind, the
discovery of www.dorledor.org,
www.science.co.il/Nobel.asp, and Encyclopaedia Judaica left me an
enduring question. In the 20th century fog, about 700 persons got the
noble prize. Nearly 150 of these had an ethnically Jewish heritage,
which means over 20% coverage by a 0,25% population numbering less
than 20 million people. In the medicine, the
portion of laureates is 25%, and often the deal has been either the
money or the Nobel.

Von Wasserman tested vaccines or antitoxins against cholera,
tuberculosis, syfilis, tetanus, typhoid, and diphteria. Marmorek made
discoveries for multiple
epidemics. Haffkine succesfully vaccinated against cholera. Schick
developed diphteria-diagnostics and vaccines, Ehrlich salvarsan for
syphilis. Neisser & Co. found gonococks causing gonorrhea. Digitalis
found by Traube used to be the most used medicine at the time, and
also Levine alleviated heart attacks. Typhoid fever was treated by the
methods of Vidal and Weil, Woronan and Waksman found streptomysin, the
most used chemotherapeutics of its day. Waksman
introduced the phrase "antibiotic", and found also neomysin. Chain was
one of the three awarded and knighted for penicillin. Funk invented
the concept of vitamins and made research until D, whereas Hess
concentrated on the C-letter and scurvy. Reichstein extracted
cortison, cocaine used to be one of the first painkillers and tested
by Koller to his friend Sigmund Freud (who, consequently, had to go
through 33 face surgeries in his lifetime). Minkowski was involved in
the story behind diabetes and insulin, Landsteiner developed two
different blood categories, whence working transfusion began.
Contributors to DNA techniques include Lederberg, Kornberg, Nirenberg
etc. Salk institute, the unofficial headquarters of the actin
biochemistry, recalls the heritage of Sabin and Salk. Jonas Salk
granted an inactivated polio vaccine to the mankind although he became
neither a Nobel laureate, nor a member of the National Academy of
Sciences in the United States. No patent - no patient: in the
countries that have adopted it to systematic use, the infantile
paralysis has been almost eracidated.

What's the point? The ex-president of Finland, Martti Ahtisaari, got
the ex-president of the International Red Cross in the tradition of
Francois Poncet - Cornelio Sammaruga - as his colleague for the Jenin
commission. Under Sammaruga's leadership, the Israeli MDA (Magen David
Amon) was not accepted as a
member to the International Red Cross, although the Red Cross is
politically and religiously neutral, officially. Sammaruga's words "If
we're going to have the
Shield of David, why would we not have to accept the swastika?" gave
49,100 hits with Google in august 2002. I'm reminded of the fact, that
the commendant
of Treblinka (Stangl), Death angel with his Mengelian genetics, The
Butchler of Lyon (Barbie), the leader of the Getapo in Poland
(Kutschmann) etc. got the
diplomacy passport of the International Red Cross via Ratlines to the
South America. The strategic names of the 30,000 fugitive Nazis and
SS-officers were
recruited by the western espionages - and were infiltrated by the
Soviet KGP and GRU for their own evil deed and sincere stupidity.

I can't resist thinking that even the humanitarian endeavours with the
most high profile are being bought into a new, sophisticated, round of
"Judenfrage". The UN Commission on Human Rights judged Israel 40-5 for
the "massacre" of Jenin – although the UN report later on in the 1st
august 2002 concluded that there was no such thing. The report
referred to the military operation Defensive Shield 1.3.-7.5. 2002.
During this period and according to my measurements, I acknowledge
Helsingin Sanomat (with a print of ~500,000 in a country of 5,000,000
people) for spending on the details of the fightings claiming a total
of ~500 casualities at least the following space: 0,8 m2 of premiar
page, 4,2 m2 in C1-C5 pages (of which 8 times the whole C1 was
dedicated), 18 leader columns, and 5 quotes from other newspapers in
the premiar. (Best wishes to the Great Pumpkin and his class-mates!)

In the april 2002 there were five foreign repoters in Finland, whereas
the number was 8000 in Israel. Israel gets more attention in a week
than the African continent in a year - which is the fuel of extreme
groups. I'm reminded of the fact, that during the 12 years of reign by
Hitler, the annihilation of Jews made a leader even in the most open
New York Times only 9 times, 400,000 sample of Hungarian Jews being
dismissed in 13 lanes in obscure pages.

William Shakespeare wrote his Merchant of Venice near the end of the
expulsion of Jews from England (1290-1650 - his knowledge were second
hand
stereotypes. I'm afraid we are descending to a modern syndrome of
Shylock-stereotypology with the selectivity and short memory of the
current and global media war. The tragedy of the heritage of the Ernst
Haeckelian German Monist League was not the mania of a corporal and a
postcard artist, but indifference of the large public. The winter
2001-2 meant the rise of Mein Kampf and The Protocols of the Elders of
Zion (allegedly the most famous forgery of the last century, and a
Durban racism conference succé) to the top-ten list of bestsellers in
the surroundings of Middle East.

A Gallup poll released on 2/26/02 (www.gallup.com/poll/) covering 10
000 respondents and 9 countries showed the following statistics
regarding the belief that al-Qaida people were not responsible for the
attack on the WTC twin towers: Kuwait 89%; Pakistan 86%; Indonesia
74%; Iran 59%; Lebanon 58%; Turkey 43%.
When antisemitic rhetorics and conspiracy theories run this wild,
there is little doubt that they will result in an action, sooner or
later. One thing for sure: Israel will be blamed for the escalation.

Let us remember, that during 1967-1993 six universities were laid for
the tragical Palestinian people who - according to the article 14 of
the PLO Covenant - are commanded as a "vanguard" between the fronts in
a bigger struggle. Under the Israeli government, infrastructure was
build in the West Bank in the form of water conduits, wiring, streets,
sewerage, and establishment of welfare services, despite the ongoing
wars. In 1970-1986 the amount of Palestinian women having not gone to
school decreased from 67 to 32%. In 1967-1988 the number of
comprehensive- and seconary schools for Palestinian youth increased by
one third.

Out of all the cases handled by the UN Commission on Human Rights, 26%
of the judgments have been focused against the single democracy of
Israel. One third of
the cases brought up to the Security Counsil have been to do with the
same nation.

What the Fuck?
