NJ Attempts to Strip Parental Rights with Vaccine Anti-Exemption Bill
Source: PrisonPlanet.com
--...parents would no longer be able to claim concerns about the safety of vaccines. A parent having a legitimate health concern over vaccine adjuvants and chemicals negatively impacting their child, potentially forever, would no longer count under the new law. Senator Vitale was quoted at the hearing as saying, "We cannot allow widespread exemption from immunization based on fear and false science."
--The bill was supposedly drawn up due to a whooping cough outbreak in addition to a rise in parents claiming exemptions throughout the state in recent years. However, as reported previously by Natural News, research released earlier this year showed strong evidence that whooping cough outbreaks among vaccinated children were actually higher than in unvaccinated children.
In addition, Big Pharma giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) admitted the company's whooping cough vaccine had never been tested for long-term efficacy, and that the shot does not provide long-term protection against the illness. It should be noted that a single injection of GSK's Boostrix vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough) would dose the average 11-year-old with 100 micrograms of formaldehyde and 400 micrograms of the heavy metal aluminum according to the National Vaccine Information Center.

COMMENT: How much money did "Big Pharma" spend to push this legislation?
I imagine that spending money to "market" your product (to people who may or may not want it) is difficult.
Using the power of government to literally force your product down people's throats: PRICELESS.
How about this as a reply to Senator Vitale:
"We 'cannot allow' forced inoculations, lobbied into existence by a corrupt and unaccountable system, regardless of how much 'fear and false science' is thrown at the wall. "

Confirmed! Flu Vaccine INCREASES Risk of Serious Pandemic Flu Illness
Source: Mercola.com
The Canadian press recently broke the story that new research confirms initial findings that the flu vaccine appeared to actually increase people's risk of getting sick with H1N1, and cause more serious bouts of illness to boot. According to the Vancouver Sun:
"Researchers, led by Vancouver's Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an influenza expert at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, noticed in the early weeks of the [2009 H1N1] pandemic that people who got a flu shot for the 2008-09 winter seemed to be more likely to get infected with the pandemic virus than people who hadn't received a flu shot. Five studies done in several provinces showed the same unsettling results."
"There is renewed controversy surrounding influenza vaccines, with some studies showing people immunised against the seasonal flu might have been at greater risk during the swine flu outbreak...
'What was a bit surprising when we looked at some of the data from Canada and Hong Kong in the last year is that people who have been vaccinated in 2008 with the seasonal or ordinary vaccine seemed to have twice the risk of getting swine flu compared to the people who hadn't received that vaccine,' [Professor Collignon from the Australian National University] said. ANU microbiologists say it is the opposite of what vaccines should do.
Professor Collignon says the findings of the study also highlight the benefits for healthy people who are exposed to some illnesses. 'Some interesting data has become available which suggests that if you get immunised with the seasonal vaccine, you get less broad protection than if you get a natural infection,' he said.
'It is particularly relevant for children because it is a condition they call original antigenic sin, which basically means if you get infected with a natural virus, that gives you not only protection against that virus but similar viruses or even in fact quite different flu viruses in the next year.'
'We may be perversely setting ourselves up that if something really new and nasty comes along, that people who have been vaccinated may in fact be more susceptible compared to getting this natural infection.'

House Passes The Buffet Rule
Source: WashingtonTimes.com
The bill, labeled the Buffett Rule Act, passed by voice vote, meaning Democrats and Republicans agreed with it. Under the legislation, which would still need Senate approval, taxpayers could check a box on their taxes and send in a check for more than they owe to the IRS.
"If Warren Buffett and others like him truly feel they're not paying enough in taxes, they can use the Buffett Rule Act to put their money where their mouth is and voluntarily send in more to pay down the national debt, rather than changing the entire tax code to inflict more job-killing tax hikes on hard-working Americans," said Rep. Steve Scalise, the Louisiana Republican who wrote the bill.

COMMENT: Buffet received some nice perks from his buddies in government on his "investments." I'm guessing he paid it forward with his PR nonsense about being a "rich guy who wants to pay more taxes." Well, the legislation above calls "BS" on all that.
More importantly, it wouldn't make any difference if Buffet sent the government every penny he's got. Here is the sad reality of how out of control government spending currently is:
You could confiscate all of Bill Gate's billions, confiscate all of Buffet's billions, confiscate the billions of the next 50 people on the Forbes list of "Richest People in America," and you still wouldn't have enough money to cover current government spending for even 90 days. (You'd have less than $850 billion to cover a 90-day cost of more than $900 billion.)

Results of the First Long-Term Study of GMO (with pictures)
Source: NaturalNews.com
--The study, led by Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen, was the first ever study to examine the long-term (lifetime) effects of eating GMOs. You may find yourself thinking it is absolutely astonishing that no such studies were ever conducted before GM corn was approved for widespread use by the USDA and FDA, but such is the power of corporate lobbying and corporate greed.
The study was published in The Food & Chemical Toxicology Journal and was just presented at a news conference in London.
Here are some of the shocking findings from the study:
• Up to 50% of males and 70% of females suffered premature death.
• Rats that drank trace amounts of Roundup (at levels legally allowed in the water supply) had a 200% to 300% increase in large tumors.
• Rats fed GM corn and traces of Roundup suffered severe organ damage including liver damage and kidney damage.
• The study fed these rats NK603, the Monsanto variety of GM corn that's grown across North America and widely fed to animals and humans. This is the same corn that's in your corn-based breakfast cereal, corn tortillas and corn snack chips.

New GMO Documentary (Video - Recommended)
Source:GeneticRouletteMovie.com
When the US government ignored repeated warnings by its own scientists and allowed untested genetically modified (GM) crops into our environment and food supply, it was a gamble of unprecedented proportions. The health of all living things and all future generations were put at risk by an infant technology.
After two decades, physicians and scientists have uncovered a grave trend. The same serious health problems found in lab animals, livestock, and pets that have been fed GM foods are now on the rise in the US population. And when people and animals stop eating genetically modified organisms (GMOs), their health improves.

A few months ago, New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch signed a bill declaring that "in all criminal proceedings the court shall permit the defense to inform the jury of its right to judge the facts and the application of the law in relation to the facts in controversy." Although the new law does not take effect until next January, a case decided yesterday in Belknap County illustrates the importance of the nullification power it recognizes. A jury unanimously acquitted Doug Darrell, a 59-year-old Rastafarian charged with marijuana cultivation, after his lawyer, Mark Sisti, argued that a conviction would be unjust in light of the fact that Darrell was growing cannabis for his own religious and medicinal use. More remarkably, Judge James O'Neill instructed the jury that "even if you find that the State has proven each and every element of the offense charged beyond a reasonable doubt, you may still find the defendant not guilty if you have a conscientious feeling that a not guilty verdict

18 Confirmed Flu Deaths, Not 36,000
Source:JonRappoport.wordpress.com
--In December of 2005, the British Medical Journal (online) published a shocking report by Peter Doshi, which spelled out the delusion and created tremors throughout the halls of the CDC.
Here is a quote from Doshi's report:
"[According to CDC statistics], 'influenza and pneumonia' took 62,034 lives in 2001—61,777 of which were attributable to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was the flu virus positively identified."
You see, the CDC had created one category that combined flu and pneumonia deaths. Why did they do this? Because they assumed that the pneumonia deaths were complications stemming from the flu.
This is an absurd assumption. Pneumonia has a number of causes. But even worse, in all the flu and pneumonia deaths, only 18 were traced directly to a flu virus.

COMMENT: My answer to those who say "Libertarians shouldn't support government-mandated labeling."
Libertarians, in general, accept the idea of allowing government intervention when there is an act of force or fraud.
Real food (the kind grown & consumed by humans for thousands of years ) is NOT the same as Genetically Modified food. As an example, consider "spermicidal corn." This GM crop looks, tastes and smells like real corn, but it sterilizes those who eat it. (Should this GM "spermicidal corn" be sold simply as "corn" too?)
Unfortunately, all GM food can, by design or by accident, harm human health in ways that non GM food cannot. Leaving "GMO" off the label is a case of lying by omission. It's fraud.

Fernando Imposimato, the President of the Italian Supreme Court, has raised the call for a criminal investigation of 9/11, comparing the terror attacks to the declassified "false flag" incidents carried out by the CIA in Italy under Operation Gladio.
"The 9/11 attacks were a global state terror operation permitted by the administration of the USA, which had foreknowledge of the operation yet remained intentionally unresponsive in order to make war against Afghanistan and Iraq," Imposimato declared in a letter published on Sunday by the Journal of 9/11 Studies.

"The 9/11 attacks were a global state terror operation permitted by the administration of the USA, which had foreknowledge of the operation yet remained intentionally unresponsive in order to make war against Afghanistan and Iraq," Imposimato declared in a letter published on Sunday by the Journal of 9/11 Studies.

New GMO Documentary (Video - Recommended)
Source:GeneticRouletteMovie.com
When the US government ignored repeated warnings by its own scientists and allowed untested genetically modified (GM) crops into our environment and food supply, it was a gamble of unprecedented proportions. The health of all living things and all future generations were put at risk by an infant technology.
After two decades, physicians and scientists have uncovered a grave trend. The same serious health problems found in lab animals, livestock, and pets that have been fed GM foods are now on the rise in the US population. And when people and animals stop eating genetically modified organisms (GMOs), their health improves.
This seminal documentary provides compelling evidence to help explain the deteriorating health of Americans, especially among children, and offers a recipe for protecting ourselves and our future.

Nullification: NH Jury Acquits Pot-Growing Rastafarian
Source: Reason.com
A few months ago, New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch signed a bill declaring that "in all criminal proceedings the court shall permit the defense to inform the jury of its right to judge the facts and the application of the law in relation to the facts in controversy." Although the new law does not take effect until next January, a case decided yesterday in Belknap County illustrates the importance of the nullification power it recognizes. A jury unanimously acquitted Doug Darrell, a 59-year-old Rastafarian charged with marijuana cultivation, after his lawyer, Mark Sisti, argued that a conviction would be unjust in light of the fact that Darrell was growing cannabis for his own religious and medicinal use. More remarkably, Judge James O'Neill instructed the jury that "even if you find that the State has proven each and every element of the offense charged beyond a reasonable doubt, you may still find the defendant not guilty if you have a conscientious feeling that a not guilty verdict
would be a fair result in this case."

18 Confirmed Flu Deaths, Not 36,000
Source:JonRappoport.wordpress.com
--In December of 2005, the British Medical Journal (online) published a shocking report by Peter Doshi, which spelled out the delusion and created tremors throughout the halls of the CDC.
Here is a quote from Doshi�s report:
�[According to CDC statistics], �influenza and pneumonia� took 62,034 lives in 2001�61,777 of which were attributable to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was the flu virus positively identified.�
You see, the CDC had created one category that combined flu and pneumonia deaths. Why did they do this? Because they assumed that the pneumonia deaths were complications stemming from the flu.
This is an absurd assumption. Pneumonia has a number of causes. But even worse, in all the flu and pneumonia deaths, only 18 were traced directly to a flu virus.

COMMENT: My answer to those who say "Libertarians shouldn't support government-mandated labeling."
Libertarians, in general, accept the idea of allowing government intervention when there is an act of force or fraud.
Real food (the kind grown & consumed by humans for thousands of years ) is NOT the same as Genetically Modified food. As an example, consider "spermicidal corn." This GM crop looks, tastes and smells like real corn, but it sterilizes those who eat it. (Should this GM "spermicidal corn" be sold simply as "corn" too?)
Unfortunately, all GM food can, by design or by accident, harm human health in ways that non GM food cannot. Leaving "GMO" off the label is a case of lying by omission. It's fraud.

Operation Screw - QE 3 (Video - Recommended)

The geniuses at the Federal Reserve have concocted a bold new plan to revive the U.S. economy -- print a bunch of money, loan it to Americans at super low interest rates so they can speculate on rising real estate prices, extract the appreciated equity and spend it on consumer goods. In other words, build an economy of real estate, by real estate, and for real estate. The only problem is we've been there and done that. The last time it almost destroyed the U.S.economy. I guess almost isn't quite good enough for the Fed, so now it's determined to finish the job.

Consent of the Enslaved
Source: LewRockwell.com
--The establishment of tyranny, La Bo�tie points out, is most difficult at the outset, when it is first imposed. For generally, if given a free choice, people will vote to be free rather than to be slaves: "There can be no doubt that they would much prefer to be guided by reason itself than to be ordered about by the whims of a single man."[29]
--It is true that in the beginning men submit under constraint and by force; but those who come after them obey without regret and perform willingly what their predecessors had done because they had to. This is why men born under the yoke and then nourished and reared in slavery are content, without further effort, to live in their native circumstance, unaware of any other state or right, and considering as quite natural the condition into which they are born ... the powerful influence of custom is in no respect more compelling than in this, namely, habituation to subjection.[30]
--Consent is also actively encouraged and engineered by the rulers; and this is another major reason for the persistence of civil obedience. Various devices are used by rulers to induce such consent. One method is by providing the masses with circuses, with entertaining diversions:
Plays, farces, spectacles, gladiators, strange beasts, medals, pictures, and other such opiates, these were for ancient peoples the bait toward slavery, the price of their liberty, the instruments of tyranny. By these practices and enticements the ancient dictators so successfully lulled their subjects under the yoke, that the stupefied peoples, fascinated by the pastimes and vain pleasures flashed before their eyes, learned subservience as na�vely, but not so creditably, as little children learn to read by looking at bright picture books.[34]
Another method of inducing consent is purely ideological: duping the masses into believing that the tyrannical ruler is wise, just, and benevolent. Thus, La Bo�tie points out, the Roman emperors assumed the ancient title of Tribune of the People, because the concept had gained favor among the public as representing a guardian of their liberties. Hence the assumption of despotism under the cloak of the old liberal form. In modern times, La Bo�tie adds, rulers present a more sophisticated version of such propaganda, for "they never undertake an unjust policy, even one of some importance, without prefacing it with some pretty speech concerning public welfare and common good."[35]

Consent of the Enslaved
Source: LewRockwell.com
--The establishment of tyranny, La Bo�tie points out, is most difficult at the outset, when it is first imposed. For generally, if given a free choice, people will vote to be free rather than to be slaves: "There can be no doubt that they would much prefer to be guided by reason itself than to be ordered about by the whims of a single man."[29]
--It is true that in the beginning men submit under constraint and by force; but those who come after them obey without regret and perform willingly what their predecessors had done because they had to. This is why men born under the yoke and then nourished and reared in slavery are content, without further effort, to live in their native circumstance, unaware of any other state or right, and considering as quite natural the condition into which they are born ... the powerful influence of custom is in no respect more compelling than in this, namely, habituation to subjection.[30]
--Consent is also actively encouraged and engineered by the rulers; and this is another major reason for the persistence of civil obedience. Various devices are used by rulers to induce such consent. One method is by providing the masses with circuses, with entertaining diversions:
Plays, farces, spectacles, gladiators, strange beasts, medals, pictures, and other such opiates, these were for ancient peoples the bait toward slavery, the price of their liberty, the instruments of tyranny. By these practices and enticements the ancient dictators so successfully lulled their subjects under the yoke, that the stupefied peoples, fascinated by the pastimes and vain pleasures flashed before their eyes, learned subservience as na�vely, but not so creditably, as little children learn to read by looking at bright picture books.[34]
Another method of inducing consent is purely ideological: duping the masses into believing that the tyrannical ruler is wise, just, and benevolent. Thus, La Bo�tie points out, the Roman emperors assumed the ancient title of Tribune of the People, because the concept had gained favor among the public as representing a guardian of their liberties. Hence the assumption of despotism under the cloak of the old liberal form. In modern times, La Bo�tie adds, rulers present a more sophisticated version of such propaganda, for "they never undertake an unjust policy, even one of some importance, without prefacing it with some pretty speech concerning public welfare and common good."[35]

CIA �Manages� Drug Trade, Mexican Official Says (Recommended)

The Central Intelligence Agency�s involvement in drug trafficking is back in the media spotlight after a spokesman for the violence-plagued Mexican state of Chihuahua became the latest high-profile individual to accuse the CIA, which has been linked to narcotics trafficking for decades, of ongoing efforts to �manage the drug trade.� The infamous American spy agency refused to comment.
In a recent interview, Chihuahua state spokesman Guillermo Terrazas Villanueva told Al Jazeera that the CIA and other international �security� outfits "don't fight drug traffickers." Instead, Villanueva argued, they try to control and manage the illegal drug market for their own benefit.

Some think that America�s "government" IS America. Must you love your government if you love your country?
Think about places like the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, and Red China. Millions who lived under those criminal regimes hated their "governments" yet still loved their countries. From these cases, can you see how "the government" is NOT the same thing as the country?
The Zero Aggression Project wants to promote the following concept . . .
The government is NOT the society, the nation, the culture, the people, the traditions, or the land.
Instead, government is merely an institution, like Exxon, Microsoft, or the Boy Scouts.
Stated differently, the government is merely a service provider, like other institutions. And . . .Service providers are supposed to serve, not rule.

Why a Shingles Epidemic is Bolting Straight at the U.S.
Source: Mercola.com
--The incidence of adult shingles has increased by 90 percent from 1998 to 2003, following the release of the chickenpox vaccine for mass use. Shingles results in three times as many deaths and five times as many hospitalizations as chickenpox, and accounts for 75 percent of all medical costs associated with the varicella zoster virus.
Even children are beginning to come down with shingles, as evidenced by school nurse reports since 2000, which wasone of the concerns prompting Dr. Goldman to warn the CDC that it may be bringing about a shingles epidemic.
Prior to chickenpox vaccination, shingles was seen only in adults.
All evidence points to the fact that we have traded a relatively mild illness (chickenpox), which does NOT involve complications for 99.9 percent of healthy children, for a more serious illness in our elderly (shingles) that has the potential for compromising the health of an entire population.

State-directed Terrorism

--Those killed by US drone attacks in Pakistan are more or less automatically deemed "militants" by unnamed "officials", and then uncritically called such by most of the western press � a practice that inexcusably continues despite revelations that the Obama administration has redefined "militants" to mean "all military-age males in a strike zone".
--It is telling indeed that the Obama administration now routinely uses tactics in Pakistan long denounced as terrorism when used by others, and does so with so little controversy. Just in the past several months, attacks on funerals of victims have taken place in Yemen (purportedly by al-Qaida) and in Syria (purportedly, though without evidence, by the Assad regime), and such attacks � understandably � sparked outrage. Yet, in the west, the silence about the Obama administration's attacks on funerals and rescuers is deafening.

COMMENT: It's only a "terrorist tactic" when somebody else does it. It's only "torture" when somebody else does it. It's only "Soviet-Union-style spying" when another country engages in it.
In other words the actual SUBSTANCE of an act means nothing anymore. Only the euphemisms used to describe it, the "special circumstances" used to justify it, and the nationality of those who engage in it, are relevant when it comes to determining whether an act is "honorable" or "evil."

�Fast and Furious� Is Not What You Think It Is

A high-ranking Mexican drug cartel operative currently in U.S. custody is making startling allegations that the failed federal gun-walking operation known as �Fast and Furious� isn�t what you think it is.
It wasn�t about tracking guns, it was about supplying them � all part of an elaborate agreement between the U.S. government and Mexico�s powerful Sinaloa Cartel to take down rival cartels.
--Zambada-Niebla claims that under a �divide and conquer� strategy, the U.S. helped finance and arm the Sinaloa Cartel through Operation Fast and Furious in exchange for information that allowed the DEA, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies to take down rival drug cartels. The Sinaloa Cartel was allegedly permitted to traffic massive amounts of drugs across the U.S. border from 2004 to 2009 � during both Fast and Furious and Bush-era gunrunning operations � as long as the intel kept coming.

"unmanned drones, spy blimps, face scanning cameras on every street corner, NSA recording and keeping every e-mail, cell phone conversation on every single American citizen,household appliances that can spy on you (see General Patreaus), local police buying armored vehicles, TSA groping your children, check points on the highway, bus terminals, free speech zones, U.S. Army conducting police duties inside the U.S. Helicopter gunships doing urban exercises in major cities across the country....all very, very routine. now take your paxil, drink some fluoride water, eat some gmo food, turn the tv on. this is just another day in the free-est country in the world, nothing to worry about..."

Airport Security Theater
Source: Mercola.com
--On March 6, 2012 engineer Jonathan Corbett posted a video on YouTube, demonstrating how easily the "nude body scanners" can be defeated, and why these machines actually make air travel LESS safe, if we're actually worried about terrorists boarding planes with guns and other lethal objects on their person.
Furthermore, as explained by Miles O'Brien in the video in the next section below, these machines are also unlikely to detect certain explosives, and likely would NOT have caught the infamous "underwear bomber" � the case that presaged the rapid release of these backscatter scanners in the first place.
--Last year, ProPublica published a letter to John Holdren, senior advisor to President Barack Obama on science and technology, written by five professors who reveal that there has not actually been any verifiable scientific testing of the safety of airport scanners � and that the levels of radiation being used are likely much higher than the public has been led to believe. These scientists believe the high quality images produced cannot possibly be obtained with the low levels of radiation described, and that the actual level may be 45 times higher than what the manufacture is claiming.

COMMENT: Holdren coauthored a book advocating government-enforced "compulsory abortion" and "involuntary fertility control" (achieved by adding sterilants to our drinking water and or food supply.) Forgive my cynicism, I just don't think somebody with that kind of mindset is going to worry about the carcinogenic effects of airport body scanners.

CIA �Manages� Drug Trade, Mexican Official Says (Recommended)
Source: TheNewAmerican.com
The Central Intelligence Agency�s involvement in drug trafficking is back in the media spotlight after a spokesman for the violence-plagued Mexican state of Chihuahua became the latest high-profile individual to accuse the CIA, which has been linked to narcotics trafficking for decades, of ongoing efforts to �manage the drug trade.� The infamous American spy agency refused to comment.
In a recent interview, Chihuahua state spokesman Guillermo Terrazas Villanueva told Al Jazeera that the CIA and other international �security� outfits "don't fight drug traffickers." Instead, Villanueva argued, they try to control and manage the illegal drug market for their own benefit.

Is "The Government" the Country?
Source: DownsizeDC.org
Some think that America�s "government" IS America. Must you love your government if you love your country?
Think about places like the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, and Red China. Millions who lived under those criminal regimes hated their "governments" yet still loved their countries. From these cases, can you see how "the government" is NOT the same thing as the country?
The Zero Aggression Project wants to promote the following concept . . .
The government is NOT the society, the nation, the culture, the people, the traditions, or the land.
Instead, government is merely an institution, like Exxon, Microsoft, or the Boy Scouts.
Stated differently, the government is merely a service provider, like other institutions. And . . .Service providers are supposed to serve, not rule.

Boycott These Organic Brands
Source: OrganicConsumers.org
In recent weeks, several public interest groups, including the Organic Consumers Association, Cornucopia Institute,Mercola.com, and Natural News, have pointed out the gross hypocrisy and greed of large food and beverage corporations which profit from the sale of billions of dollars of their proprietary organic and "natural" food brands while at the same time funneling large sums of money to the Monsanto-led campaign to defeat theNovember 6th GMO labeling ballot initiative (Proposition 37) in California. These organic and "natural" traitor companies and brands include: Kellogg's (Kashi, Bear Naked, Morningstar Farms); General Mills (Muir Glen, Cascadian Farm, Larabar); Dean Foods (Horizon, Silk, White Wave); Smucker's (R.W. Knudsen, Santa Cruz Organic); Coca-Cola (Honest Tea, Odwalla); Safeway ("O" Organics); Kraft (Boca Burgers and Back to Nature); Con-Agra (Orville Redenbacher's Organic, Hunt's Organic, Lightlife); and PepsiCo (Naked Juice, Tostito's Organic, Tropicana Organic).

Why a Shingles Epidemic is Bolting Straight at the U.S.
Source: Mercola.com
--The incidence of adult shingles has increased by 90 percent from 1998 to 2003, following the release of the chickenpox vaccine for mass use. Shingles results in three times as many deaths and five times as many hospitalizations as chickenpox, and accounts for 75 percent of all medical costs associated with the varicella zoster virus.
Even children are beginning to come down with shingles, as evidenced by school nurse reports since 2000, which wasone of the concerns prompting Dr. Goldman to warn the CDC that it may be bringing about a shingles epidemic.
Prior to chickenpox vaccination, shingles was seen only in adults.
All evidence points to the fact that we have traded a relatively mild illness (chickenpox), which does NOT involve complications for 99.9 percent of healthy children, for a more serious illness in our elderly (shingles) that has the potential for compromising the health of an entire population.

COMMENT: I saw a Merck advertisement today for its "shingles vaccine." I figured I'd post the article above...it provides some info that I don't imagine Merck is likely to disclose.

State-directed Terrorism
Source: BusinessInsider.com
--Those killed by US drone attacks in Pakistan are more or less automatically deemed "militants" by unnamed "officials", and then uncritically called such by most of the western press � a practice that inexcusably continues despite revelations that the Obama administration has redefined "militants" to mean "all military-age males in a strike zone".
--It is telling indeed that the Obama administration now routinely uses tactics in Pakistan long denounced as terrorism when used by others, and does so with so little controversy. Just in the past several months, attacks on funerals of victims have taken place in Yemen (purportedly by al-Qaida) and in Syria (purportedly, though without evidence, by the Assad regime), and such attacks � understandably � sparked outrage. Yet, in the west, the silence about the Obama administration's attacks on funerals and rescuers is deafening.

COMMENT: It's only a "terrorist tactic" when somebody else does it. It's only "torture" when somebody else does it. It's only "Soviet-Union-style spying" when another country engages in it.
In other words the actual SUBSTANCE of an act means nothing anymore. Only the euphemisms used to describe it, the "special circumstances" used to justify it, and the nationality of those who engage in it, are relevant when it comes to determining whether an act is "honorable" or "evil."

�Fast and Furious� Is Not What You Think It Is
Source: TheBlaze.com
A high-ranking Mexican drug cartel operative currently in U.S. custody is making startling allegations that the failed federal gun-walking operation known as �Fast and Furious� isn�t what you think it is.
It wasn�t about tracking guns, it was about supplying them � all part of an elaborate agreement between the U.S. government and Mexico�s powerful Sinaloa Cartel to take down rival cartels.
--Zambada-Niebla claims that under a �divide and conquer� strategy, the U.S. helped finance and arm the Sinaloa Cartel through Operation Fast and Furious in exchange for information that allowed the DEA, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies to take down rival drug cartels. The Sinaloa Cartel was allegedly permitted to traffic massive amounts of drugs across the U.S. border from 2004 to 2009 � during both Fast and Furious and Bush-era gunrunning operations � as long as the intel kept coming.
