What happened to Kennedy is nearly what happened to me. America is in danger of upheavals. But you ll see. All of them together will observe the law of silence. They will close ranks. They ll do everything to stifle the scandal. They will throw Noah s cloak over these shameful deeds. In order to not lose face in front of the whole world. In order to not risk unleashing riots in the United States. In order to preserve the union and to avoid a new civil war. In order to not ask themselves questions. They don t want to know. They don t want to find out. They won t allow themselves to find out.
Patchwork placenta

The traditional view of the placenta is a miraculous, protective, life-giving growth sac. Surprisingly, in a paper published in
Nature, a team of researchers from the UK’s Wellcome Sanger Institute and University of Cambridge have shown that the genomic architecture of the placenta is actually much closer to a tumour than a normal organ.
The placenta has many traits indicative of tumours, such as cells with different numbers of chromosomes, a large number of tumour-like cell multiplications, and lots of genetic defects. Thankfully, it acts almost like a “dumping ground” for these defects so that the foetus within can avoid many of these errors.
