The Dangers of Bath Salts – to Goats!

Ever heard of Khat? A natural product for dopers, it contains cathinone, a whacky drug, of the chemical name: S-2-amino-phenyl-l-propanone. People who are accustomed to looking at these drug names see stimulant, upper, speed-like, written all over this one, and it elicits effects similar to ephedrine and amphetamines.

There are always more designer drugs being produced, to the extent that the law can’t keep pace regulating the doper chemists. The name Bath Salts is used to describe a class of drugs containing cathinone and analogs thereof, for example:
3,4 – Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV)
4 – Methylmethcathinone (Mephedrone, 4-MMC)
3,4 – Methylenedioxymethcathinone (Methylone, MDMC)
4 – Fluoromethcathinone (Flephedrone, 4-FMC)
3 – Fluoromethcathinone (3-FMC)
4 – Methoxymethcathinone (Methedrone, bk-PMMA, PMMC)
among others…

Any combination of these analogs could send the user into a wild state of agitation, perhaps with hallucinations, and even lust for goats!
Such is the sad end for a cute little pygmy goat in South Charleston, West Virginia, who was attacked by one Mark Thompson, killed and possibly sexually assaulted, (given the presence of porn, and the partially unclothed state of the attacker).

Thompson, now of international notoriety, is bound for a life of ill treatment in prison after this escapade, which is said to be fueled by a three day jag on “bath salts”.

Don’t do bath salts.

Aravan, Hindu God of the Sexually Ambiguous

Joy and pain as transgender Indians ‘wed’ Hindu god.

There’s a yearly ceremony to comfort those who are born sexually ambiguous or are transgendered, in India.

According to Hindu mythology, Aravan was expected to die in battle, and asked the god Krishna for one night with a woman.   Apparently none were found who wanted to be a widow the next day, so Krishna changed to a woman and got the job done.  This has resulted in a concept of Aravan as the patron of  the sexually ambiguous.

Yearly ceremonies marrying these people for one night to Aravan provide comfort for those who have had a rough life as a result of their condition.

There’s  apparently something to be found  for everyone in the Hindu Pantheon.

 

He’s Soooo Complex

Osama Bin Laden dead: Obama took 16 hours to make up his mind | Mail Online.

The situation was presented to Obama on Thursday, but he said that he wanted to “sleep on it”.

The decision was delivered on Friday morning,  April 30.

Then it took an extra day of waiting through the weather to get it done.

The story as to whether Pakistan was involved, or unaware of the mission continues to change back and forth.

Politico notes that the stories as to whether a wife of Osama was used as a shield and whether she was killed have changed in the white house account.

The story as to whether or not Osama was armed and returning fire has also changed.

The new nature of news by hearsay, from people with attention deficit disorder, will ensure  continuing flux.

 

Obama Announces Killing of Osama Bin Laden

Osama bin Laden Killed by US Strike – ABC News.

A joint special operations force working with the CIA  engaged and killed Bin Laden at a mansion in Abbottabad in Pakistan.   This force included two helicopter crews, one of which was shot down according to a Pakistani official.

DNA testing is said to have been done, to confirm that Osama Bin Laden was killed.

From inconsistencies among the news stories thus far, we may never know:
If Pakistan’s government was aware of the mission and Pakistani forces assisted as was claimed early on.
When Bin Laden was killed.
The particulars of the manner in which he was identified… DNA testing was said to have been done before it could have been completed if the story that he was killed on May 1 were true.  A newer  says  the DNA results will not be available for days.
Some news stories in early am of May 2 claim that Bin Laden was already buried at sea , and in accordance with Muslim tradition. These two things  do not exactly jibe since Bin Laden did not die at sea.
The mission is said to have been ordered by Obama on 4/29 and carried out by Navy seals under the direction of CIA director Leon Panetta.

Obama’s IPAB Death Panel – Even Some Democrats Are Opposing it

It’s THAT bad!   Congress sees it as an unconstitutional removal of their authority over spending, by unelected officials.

Death Panels Crop Up Again as Obama Mentions IPAB in Medicare | LifeNews.com.

Another  mechanism by which Obamacare will gut the care of the elderly, in his deficit reduction plan,  is to further cut medicare and medicaid reimbursement so that health care providers are not able to stay in business while serving that patient base, in compliance with government regulations.   This leaves those individuals without the promised “free”  Obamacare,  which has been  the intention all along.
