Swartz supporter dumps 18,592 JSTOR docs on the Pirate Bay
A 31-year-old American who says his name is Gregory Maxwell has posted a 32GB file containing 18,592 scientific articles to BitTorrent. In a lengthy statement posted to the Pirate Bay, he says that Tuesday's arrest of onetime Reddit co-owner Aaron Swartz inspired the document release.
"All too often journals, galleries, and museums are becoming not disseminators of knowledge—as their lofty mission statements suggest—but censors of knowledge, because censoring is the one thing they do better than the Internet does," he wrote.
Maxwell says he is a technologist living in the Washginton, DC area. He tells Ars that "I'm not an academic, but I sometimes play one on the Internet. I am a hobbyist scientist and many of the things I work on leave me often consuming scientific papers."
He rarely has trouble gaining access to the documents he needs because "my social circle is stuffed full of academics." But he worries that others who aren't as well connected will have trouble getting access to academic research.

^^There you go, now just find one that agrees with anything you promote on this board lol.
Out of those 18,952 docs released I bet, actually I guarantee you can't find one, not one, that agrees or gives credence to the theory you coattail about Europeans being African albino descendants.
Willing to try? Lmao

LOL, if you knew how to read, you wouldn't be repeatedly posting the same lame crap, Mz. Albino.
As you should know, I have already posted many research papers and reports from various sources that confirm your Albino state. One of these lays with in that pre-1930 date and calls it, Complete/Incomplete/Partial Albinism, each being Albinism just the same.
Actually, since the JSTOR file is so large (32.5GB), my d/l hasn't completed to my server yet so I haven't yet reviewed the catalog of papers.
I just found another Albinism papers that states that partial albinos will also have the trait of having little tiny feet. You wear a size 8 1/2 shoe right Shawty?

AGUADILLA — Mayra Nieves is used to being ostracized and called names as an albino in this Caribbean community. What she fears is not being able to breathe. Nieves is among hundreds of Puerto Ricans who have a rare type of albinism that leads to a deadly lung disease.
Sufferers such as Nieves, 30, a mother of three, have roughly five years to live once they've been diagnosed with the lung condition, known as pulmonary fibrosis.
The island has the world's highest incidence of this often fatal type of albinism, which was likely brought by a colonizer centuries ago and proliferated as the isolated population intermarried.
Today it is the focus of an experimental drug study at the National Institutes of Health. Researchers aim to minimize lung scarring from the disease that smothers air sacs and prevents oxygen from entering the bloodstream.
Nieves still remembers the day several years ago — before her diagnosis — when she suddenly passed out, gasping for air.
"I almost died," she said. "It was scary. I couldn't talk, but I remember thinking, 'Dear God, let me stay. My daughters need me.' "
Various genetic disorders can lead to albinism, defined by a lack of pigmentation in eyes, skin and hair. But Type 1 of the so-called Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome is particularly deadly, said Dr. Thomas Markello, who works at the medical genetics branch of the National Institutes of Health. The syndrome, which is rare worldwide, is the leading cause of albinism in Puerto Rico, he said.
An estimated 300 to 500 albinos with the fatal strain live in Puerto Rico's northwest region, the island's largest concentration. NIH estimates that one in every 400 to 2,000 people worldwide carries the gene for the syndrome, compared with one in every 20 Puerto Ricans living in the northwest.
"All patients will need a lung transplant to stay alive unless we succeed in fixing the problem," Markello said.
It appears that P. Ricans have messed themselves up in hopes of becoming white by mixing with Jews and inheriting genetic diseases specific to Ashkenazis. No small wonder you become so emotional over this particular topic. One in 20 is a VERY high stat, and worst, the ratio will increase over time. Yikes!!!

Ok and? There's albinism present in Puerto Rico, are you now saying all Puerto Ricans are albinos now? smh.
Nigeria according to studies appears to contain the highest prevalence of albinos worldwide, are you saying all Nigerians are albinos then?
This seems to be the logic you might be working with.
Anyway, yet and despite after all of the frantic Google searching you just did, still nothing from any scientists whatsoever that attests Europeans are descendants of albinos? Why is this taking you so long? Ha ha.
Btw, screaming albino at everyone that disagrees with you, in reality doesn't win a debate. Lol

Genetic Testing for Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 1 and 2 and Hermansky–Pudlak Syndrome Type 1 and 3 Mutations in Puerto Rico
Journal of Investigative Dermatology (2006) 126, 85–90. doi:10.1038/sj.jid.5700034 Genetic Testing for Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 1 and 2 and Hermansky–Pudlak Syndrome Type 1 and 3 Mutations in Puerto Rico
Pedro J Santiago Borrero1, Yolanda Rodríguez-Pérez2, Jessicca Y Renta2, Natalio J Izquierdo3, Laura del Fierro2, Daniel Muñoz2, Norma López Molina2, Sonia Ramírez2, Glorivee Pagán-Mercado2, Idith Ortíz1, Enid Rivera-Caragol1, Richard A Spritz4 and Carmen L Cadilla2

Hermansky–Pudlak syndrome (HPS) (MIM #203300) is a heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive disorders characterized by oculocutaneous albinism (OCA), bleeding tendency, and lysosomal dysfunction. HPS is very common in Puerto Rico (PR), particularly in the northwest part of the island, with a frequency of approx1:1,800. Two HPS genes and mutations have been identified in PR, a 16-base pair (bp) duplication in HPS1 and a 3,904-bp deletion in HPS3. In Puerto Ricans with more typical OCA, the most common mutation of the tyrosinase (TYR) (human tyrosinase (OCA1) gene) gene was G47D. We describe screening 229 Puerto Rican OCA patients for these mutations, and for mutations in the OCA2 gene. We found the HPS1 mutation in 42.8% of cases, the HPS3 deletion in 17%, the TYR G47D mutation in 3.0%, and a 2.4-kb deletion of the OCA2 gene in 1.3%. Among Puerto Rican newborns, the frequency of the HPS1 mutation is highest in northwest PR (1:21; 4.8%) and lower in central PR (1:64; 1.6%). The HPS3 gene deletion is most frequent in central PR (1:32; 3.1%). Our findings provide insights into the genetics of albinism and HPS in PR, and provide the basis for genetic screening for these disorders in this minority population.
The consequences of reduced skin pigmentation in OCA and some forms of HPS, particularly photosensitivity and social stigmatization due the noticeable skin color differences, are relatively significant in PR, where the sun exposure rate is high and where relatively dark skin pigmentation is the norm. Ocular consequences of OCA are typical in PR, including low vision, nystagmus, strabismus, and photophobia (Izquierdo et al., 1995), again exacerbated by the high level of ambient sunlight. The systemic complications of HPS are a particular problem; average patient survival is 30–50 years, death usually resulting from restrictive lung disease (68%), hemorrhage (17%), or granulomatous colitis (15%) (Witkop et al., 1990a). There is no specific or effective treatment for most of the manifestations of HPS, although pirfenidone may slow the progression of pulmonary fibrosis (Gahl et al., 2002).
Studies of OCA and HPS patients from around the world have demonstrated considerable genetic heterogeneity, with four genes known to cause OCA and seven known to cause HPS in humans (Spritz et al., 2003; Bonifacino, 2004). Early premolecular epidemiologic studies in PR (Witkop et al., 1990a, 1990b) estimated that, among 349 patients with albinism, there were five types of OCA and two types of ocular albinism: 12% were considered to have OCA1, 4.9% OCA2, 0.6% OCA3, and 80–83% HPS, mostly from northwest PR. HPS in PR was subsequently shown to result from founder effects for single mutations of two genes, HPS1 and HPS3, which facilitated localization and identification of these genes by linkage disequilibrium mapping and positional cloning (Fukai et al., 1995; Wildenberg et al., 1995; Anikster et al., 2001). Puerto Rican HPS1 patients have all been homozygous for a 16-bp duplication/frameshift in the HPS1 gene (Oh et al., 1996) and Puerto Rican HPS3 patients have all been homozygous for a 3,904-bp deletion in the HPS3 gene (Anikster et al., 2001). Similarly, a single mutation of the tyrosinase (TYR, human tyrosinase (OCA1) gene) gene, G47D, was found to be prevalent among northwest Puerto Rican patients with OCA1 (Oetting et al., 1993). This mutation has been found in many populations around the world, and may have been propagated by Spanish sailors.

Oh,I see. What you want for credibility is to have some lying white albino researcher to publish a report admitting to being derived from Albinos. Now I see what you are asking for. Of course if this report is issued by a black or colored researcher, being Puerto Rican you'd assign less credibility then if issued from a white.
Obviously, this is the case since Dr. Pookrum, a Neuro Surgeon, Dr. Clark, a Dermatologist, and Dr. Moore, a GP, who are all black, all published books on Melanin which confirm this reality, opinions carry no weight with a well published specialist such as yourself. LMBAO!!

Nope, I'm asking you for anything, from anyone anywhere, provide it, where is this scientific corroboration?
Or are you saying only white people conduct scientific research?
Nope that aint it, since you mentioned a few names the other day who conduct melanin research.
Well, where is it in these scholars' work that Europeans descend from African albinos?
I mean, you did say it was scientifically proven right?

^ White people conduct research, for sure. It's conclusively shown that 82% of white people research programs use erroneous, or skewed results. I believe that conceal more research results then they actually publish.
Whereas you place more emphasis on White conducted research, I prefer the my honest and correct non-white research. Thus, the difference between a black versus Jew reviewers. How's your lungs Son Of Ashken? LMBAO!!

No Junior. The important differentiator here is Albinism coupled with the Jewish Cystic Fibrosis which Pulmonary Fibrosis is a part of. Stats indicate that 90% of Ashkenazi Jews carry Cystic Fibrosis. This points to specific intermixing between Ricans and Ashkenazis, meaning the slaves mixed totally with their Albino Jewish masters. I/bet your ancestors would have made different decisions had they been aware of Melanin deficiency and Albinism those Jews carried. Ignorance is bliss, until somebody loses they melanin and immunity.
LOL!!! No wonder you only give credit to white research reports. Ricans don't like themselves when they are black. LMBAO!

Go sell your bullsh1t somewhere else ol man, cause I aint buying it.
You obviously have no source from which states Europeans derive from albinos. Just admit it already and this will all be done with
And i'ts cool, I never really expected you to provide one, it was just another exposure of your lack of scientific backing support.
I couldn't care less about Jews and your obsession with them either.
You can blame Jews for your lack of support and sources all you want.
Doesn't change the fact that you don't have them (sources) and never did in the first place.

^ See, that kind of denial of FACTS is exactly why no one on ES takes you serious, especially me. How many generations has it been since your family morphed to the Ashkenazi diseased physiology? You should realize the more, the worst off you are. Will you marry and mate with an Ashkenazi too? My bet is, you believe these studies more than you let on and your strongest emotion, FEAR, will have you looking for a nice dark and healthy African lady. Posts: 2403 | Registered: Feb 2010

Denial of what facts you deluded ol man?
You keep repeating you have facts but never post them. lol
And who doesn't take me seriously on ES?
You mean your cheerleader crew Mike, tinkitty, and Clyde?
That's funny, I wasn't aware that any of these three meant a thing or were ES.

So basically per your understanding 1 in 20 people in a specific area in the northwest of Puerto Rico equals to the whole of Puerto Rico? You frantic google searching dingbat. lol

Yes my point about using DRM/encryption and obfuscation is succint.
If these files were not PDFs and instead were just a bunch of randomly named files in seperate chunks then they wouldn't be so useful to thieving readers like myself . I would have to put some effort into making them comprehensible if they were properly obfuscated. Posts: 1819 | From: odesco baba | Registered: Feb 2005

^ I hate censorship and the placement of mainly public funded intellectual property in the private, for-profit (Non-Profit) domain. As usual, the Directors are out of NY, if you can get to that. The D/L rate is very good at ~1.2Mbit/sec, so it should complete in another 2 hours.

The D/L just completed and I am now scanning thru the docs for items of interest. Unfortunately there is no included list of titles and each PDF is numerically titled, so there is no way to know the topic unless you open each piece by piece. This may take some time to completely review.
Anything history or medical related I'll put out and U/L to my cloud with share.

^ The is a metadata file but not very useful for searching. Contains associated text files but most titles aren't very helpful. Also, these are mostly dated from 1780-1920.
I've decided to pull out the really worthless files to reduce the size and dump the remaining mass to the cloud.
