50 more documents just got released today

But the media reported about all of them, right? They are just releasing them now for everyone to see? That's taking forever.

Anyway, Assange is pretty fucked up if he things this will have a positive effect.

Hey guys, I know we have an unemployment problem and this whole healthcare thing has people cautious about our tax use but i know how we can solve all of that!

Lets blow 0.375 billion on shiny new guns for the middle east. It will totally distract the average taxpayer from his $20 000 a year job and horrible health coverage.

Nothing new. Its just telomerase research. They basically reactivate telomerase to prevent DNA degradation at the ends of chromosomes wich is one of the main factors of aging.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but the mice/rats whatever, lived as long as expected, however the effects of aging were reversed. Read the links, not the post

I dont think you understand the situation. If we are made aware of it, and we do not recieve it, those who do shall be the first to die.

A way to cheat death? Thats something that either needs to be shared or hidden.

Such a discovery would likely herald a new age of slavery. It would disrupt our entire civilization.

Somebody will, guaranteed. Think about the power that would come from having control of such technology. Politicians will be tripping over eachother to provide it for their consituents. People will pay any price, commit to any bargain, perform any deed.

And if a private company was the first to develop it? They would become the single most powerful entity in history overnight.

Imagine a monopoly on life. People will literally get nickle-and-dimed to death

Next week is pretty rad too, with the first launch of the SpaceX Dragon capsule. A big step towards getting back into space after the Shuttle retires.
