San Jacinto, California (Reuters / Full Value REVIEW) — Paul Stanley, a singer and guitarist with rock band Kiss, was forced to pull out of a show in California on Friday after his heart started beating at more than twice the normal level, he said on his Web site.

Paul Stanley, pictured here in April 2007, co-founded Kiss with Gene Simmons in New York in 1973. The apparent tachycardia happened while the band was rehearsing for a performance at the Soboba casino in San Jacinto, California, about 90 miles (145 km) east of Los Angeles.

“My heart spontaneously jumped to 190 plus beats per minute, where it stayed for over an hour necessitating paramedics to start an IV and give me a shot to momentarily stop my heart and get it into a normal pattern,” Stanley, 55, wrote on his site www.paulstanley.com.

A normal heart rate at rest is about 60 to 80 beats a minute, according to the American Heart Association.

Tachycardia, or rapid heart rate, can cause palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting or near fainting, the group said on its Web site www.americanheart.org.

Government disinformation programs to mislead the general public have been a reality since Nero burned Rome and blamed the Christians. Cutting to the chase, the latest disinformation comes courtesy of two events. First, as opposed to last time around, the medical marijuana issue has finally almost surfaced to the general public via the candidates running for President in 2008.

Though I don’t ‘watch’ the news, I haven’t read anywhere in the mainstream press about any candidate’s comments on the medical marijuana issue or the Federal raids on state approved patients and dispensaries. On the down-low, or what used to be called the ‘underground press’, the 411 is that Hillary Clinton (Dem) and Ron Paul (Rep) have gone on record as vowing to stop the war on Mary Jane by the DEA, which routinely breaks the Federal law about politicizing and intimidates city councils along with building owners through Federal threats of arrest for conspiracy for positive action toward allowing medical Mary Jane use. Also very recently the Feds, via the DEA, raided, shutdown, and indicted medical marijuana pot shops and owners with a rhetoric that made George Dubya look smart, “They’re drug dealers, plain and simple,” (thanks, Cletus, for that update).
