7/7 was allowed to happen, I think we get side tracked on nations behind the event, for all we know the Kabul could hire mercenaries from all over the globe to carry out the attack.

Yes 7/7 was carried out by government agents. British & Israeli.

So, having just watched the Horizon episode 'what happened to flight MH370?' I have a question. Where the hell is it?

I've read a few posts from April on here but nothing in the last couple months. It seems to have gone a little quiet. How are people feeling about this? Has anything new come to light? There are a lot of questions and the few answers we are supposed to believe don't make sense or contradict previous comments. Are we just supposed to forget about it until, miraculously, 5 years down the line they find it in a hangar, living the life of Riley right under our noses - but we're not allowed to see it! Oh no! They've given it a proper send off and burnt it in accordance with its religious beliefs! so we'll just have to take their word and with a few grainy photos as proof!!. oops, sorry, I got a little sidetracked there:) must of stirred up some old emotions about another story we've fed!

Hi all. Just got back from holiday and reading through all he posts I missed.

With regards to the post about exercise and the heart, there has been a lot of research into various levels of exercise and their effect on the cardiovascular system.

As Ed001 mentioned, light jogging has no real effect.

But the heart is an incredibly dynamic organ and is subject to structural remodelling in certain circumstances. Elite level athletes will often have larger hearts. The 4 chambers dilate to increase stroke volume, and the muscle becomes thicker due to frequent high intensity training.

Obviously this is a normal variant in an athlete.

But unfortunately there are some disease states which also dilate the cardiac chambers and hypertrophies the muscle - and differentiating disease from normal in an elite athlete can be extremely difficult, often impossible.

I know of one premiership rugby player who retired because of this, but apparently it's happened in other sports.

There was also a paper in the European Heart Journal last year that titled "Exercise Induced Right Ventricular Dysfunction and Structural Remodelling in Endurance Athletes"

It's sometimes necessary to implant a defibrillator in these people as they're at risk of fatal arrhythmias.

I have to stress that this is only usually seen in very high level athletes with a lot of training behind them.

Rik Mayall probably had undiagnosed coronary heart disease and simply had a heart attack. He was mid 50's and unfortunately it happens all the time.

RIP Rik

Regards to the discussion about running shoes, has anyone read Born to Run by Christopher McDougall?
It's a fascinating book which talks about human evolution and how we've evolved over thousands of years to run on the balls of our feet, but in recent years have been of cushioning our feet with sandals, shoes etc. which has conditioned us to run on our heels which is mechanically just wrong.

Probably doesn't sound very interesting but I do recommend it if you're interested in that sort of thing.

Sorry for the long post, but it's actually something I know a little about (for a change) so thought I'd share!

A really interesting run down of (what I am sure are the more mainstream) conspiracy theories; some of which we have discussed recently; i. e fluoride in water and vaccinations but also a fair few that were new to me (although not new I am sure to others). Makes interesting reading.

david smith was a name I was not familiar with. he was jimmy saville's driver and he was also a well known pedophile in his own right. while everyone was drawn to saville's exploits, his driver was arrested and up in court after operation yewtree investigations.

on the day of his trial he does not turn up. police turn up at his flat and find him dead. it was reported on the mainstream news but I missed it. I believe it was a snippet news mention about his death but this guy was the last remaining link to saville and his very high profile pedo ring.

this guy decides to kill himself on the day of the trial. there are people who are suggesting the secret service murdered him because he could have named the very top of the establishment and brought the uk to its knees, which I agree with.

if we can think back to when all this saville news broke, the real news should have been, we have got the driver who can name names but that was overshadowed by a dead celebrity who cannot talk. I find this interesting.

i think the poll question answer is carried out by both humans and ETs, I think it was the late 60s early 70s that a spate of animal mutilations happened and its rumored we have been in contact with aliens since the 50s, so I see this as a learning lesson a bit like a apprentice observing a surgeon in the theater.

Does anyone else think there's something fishy about the Michael Schumacher story? Comes out of a coma after 6 months and is then somehow well enough to go home? Also, the media went vey quiet on it a week or two after it happened. Doesn't sound right to me.

Not really an earth-shattering geo-political conspiracy but did you know that 90% of sunglasses, regardless of band are made at the same place. I wonder what other items this applies to and how it bump up prices we pay.
