"As a fourth great goal, I will offer a far-reaching set of proposals for improving America's health care and making it available more fairly to more people.
I will also ask for an appropriation of an extra $100 million to launch an intensive campaign to find a Cure for Cancer, and I will ask later for whatever additional funds can effectively be used. The time has come in America when the same kind of concentrated effort that split the atom and took man to the moon should be turned toward conquering this dread disease. Let us make a total national commitment to achieve this goal.
America has long been the wealthiest nation in the world. Now it is time we became the healthiest nation in the world."

State of the Union Address 1971
"This conversation, unfortunately, is going to lead us into a discussion of the human genome.
And that's.... when we're into the deep water...
So, it's better to start the conversation now, before we get to the level of - God Talk"

"The American Capitalist System's role is to confuse the masses, that's it's purpose;
As such, it lies all the time.
Some people are confused, they think it only lies some of the time,
but I'm a revolutionary, Jack - I know that it lies all of the time.
Even when it tells the truth, it is as the result of a Double-Lie"

MOSCOW, October 29 (RIA Novosti) – Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Wednesday denied western reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin is allegedly suffering from pancreatic cancer.
“Bite your tongue! Everything’s fine,” Peskov said in response to Putin’s supposed illness.
Last week, The New York Post published a story, in which it claimed the Russian president was suffering from cancer and was being treated by an elderly doctor, citing unnamed sources.
The rumors quickly spread and appeared in various western news outlets however none of the stories were able to substantiate the story with direct evidence.
"There is an explanation for Vladimir Putin’s hurry to invade Ukraine — it is rumored he has cancer.
News outlets from Belarus to Poland have reported for months that the Russian strongman has cancer of the spinal cord. But my sources say it’s pancreatic cancer, one of the most lethal forms of the disease.
Putin is allegedly being treated by an elderly doctor from the old East Germany whom Putin met decades ago while serving in Dresden for the KGB. The doctor has been trying various treatments including steroid shots, which would explain Putin’s puffy appearance.
The physician, who is 84 years old, quit recently, confiding that he hated coming to Russia and was always mistreated by Putin’s security detail.
Crispin Black, the British army veteran who reports on terrorism and intelligence, reported earlier this year that recurring rumors about Putin’s health “are back again with a vengeance.”
Writing for The Week, Black said Putin’s pardon and release of his former crony Mikhail Khodorkovsky, after 10 years in prison, was an ominous sign.
“Some have suggested [Putin] is clearing his conscience,” Black wrote.
Others say Putin has three years to live and wants to leave a legacy of expanding the Russian borders just like Peter the Great or Stalin. Take your pick."
