There are several news reports about the increase of prions. Prions are protein molecules folded the wrong way – they can hide in the body until one day it can ravage the brain. An MRI scan of a brain infected with prions resembles a sponge with gaping voids of activity where the proteinic corruption has spread. Inconclusive as prion studies are, each of them assumes three premises to be true: infections are always fatal, there is no cure, and they are contagious. Its spread is a result of civilizational structure, which is controlled by no one, so that no one may intervene in the historic march of the prion, which is equivalent to the equally uncontrollable march of humanity toward annihilation. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10pm, pacific time), Clyde Lewis talks with Dr. Reg McDaniel and Dr. Kevin McCairn about LET PRIONS BE PRIONS.
