    Re: Breakthrough Of Instant Diagnosis

    This shows that it's alright to create a technology scam that won't work or a dot com that doesn't make money even after 20 years, but don't mess with regulated healthcare.

      Nine years later I'm reading old threads and turns out that Reggie was spot on.

      The founder was indicted and politically connected to high players in the DNC. The only part that was incorrect is that the testing never worked, therefore could not be used to identification and segregation of people.

First, how much do you wanna bet that Ms. Holmes is linked to some pretty important people. Second, this system is being developed to support the people-identification and segregation systems planned for the future. No ID card will be needed, folks.

      If Ms Holmes wants to cure cancer, or a myriad of other diseases, all she has to do is educate the public on proper nutrition and protection from environmental toxins.

      Wait, but I thought it was only the lower uneducated classes that were subject to, and bought into, bread and circus?

        Thanks for bringing that one back from memory hole, dbarberic.
        I liked reggies posts. They were a bit out on the fringe and esoteric, but always interesting and linked to further background.

          It sounds half right at best. It seems like the point he was making is that she's a puppet providing cover for a nefarious conspiracy developing technology for mass subjugation. The reality seems to be closer to her being a con-woman who scammed those important people out of a lot of money with a vaporware product.

            I'd err somewhere between you two. She was a creation of Tim Draper. Grew up best friends with his daughter. Draper-Fisher-Jurveston also created the myth of Musk. They were the original viral marketers. And they're very good at manufacturing billionaire tech moguls. They're not talent scouts, really. They sell narratives. Absolute kings of mythologizing people, then overpromising, and underdelivering.
