The Declaration of Independence

The Declaration of Independence is Legal. Any Questions? Lone Star Watchdog October 26, 2011 Our history is under attack under revisionist and word smith lawyers. The very foundations that has been the vanguard of freedom is being undermined by forces from within and from without. They need to attack the founding documents that gave life to this nation we so much love. Now a bunch of sore loser legal eagles in jolly old England now say the Declaration of Independence is not a legal document, which is a bunch of lies to try to get the US back under the control of a monarchy. The Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776 who later became our third President. This founding document was telling the King of England the colonies are severing their political ties and becoming a new nation. They have listed their reasons why they are leaving the British empire. The long train of abuses after peaceful petitions have failed. The Declaration is legal without question steeped in legal and biblical precedent. They appealed to the supreme ruler of the universe,the final authority in the human events of men. The reason why this is legal is because it is based on the Magna Carta. When the Bank of England controled the British Crown. They brought an unjust monetary system upon the colonies. The Magna Carta clearly states clearly, usury is illegal. The bank of England was issuing the currency at interest which crippled the economy in the colonies. Also trial by jury and the right to habeas corpus were denied in place of star chamber proceedings. The Declaration of Independence is rooted in English Common Law that derives from the Magna Carta itself. The Declaration of Independence was a notice to King George III that he has broken the contract with the colonist violating the Magna Carta. That declared the contract null and void by the king with usurpations violating the Magna Carta with monetary policy under the control of the Bank of England to the violations of people�s rights. The Magna Carta is the source of the Declaration of Independence which is still a legal document of the United kingdom There is nothing to stop us from celebrating the Fourth of July. We are still a republic and not a subject to the crown anymore.The Declaration of Independence is still legal no matter how many lawyers from the British Accreditation Registry say it is not . It is ours and not the politicians to say otherwise.

Occupy Money: Pay With Silver

Occupy Money: Pay With Silver To Beat The Banks Col. Sixx October 23, 2011 People are now at the snapping point as B of A adds a $5 per month fee to use a debit card for purchases. Nothing if you only use the card at the ATM. A major hassle to go to the ATM before getting gas, etc. The average Joe will pay the $5.00 fee and that�s what they are counting on. This is how we corner them. We OCCUPY MONEY. It�s a lot of work to go down to the demonstration. It smells like stale urine because people haven�t been very tidy. You might get arrested for doing nothing more than walking down the street. You can OCCUPY MONEY where ever you are! If you have a bank account, you can convert some of the money to silver and spend it. If you can�t attend a rally, this is a way for you to participate. It�s an instant demonstration � a proclamation of freedom. And the merchants can help support the people, too. The banking powers aren�t counting on all the citizens out there to go off the banking grid. This will start with small merchants who are being trashed by the big banks. They will accept silver U.S. coins as payment for their merchandise because they want real money. Banking customers are tired of getting near ZERO percent interest payments. Why keep your money in a bank when you can buy silver coins and put them in your mattress. People may say �you could get robbed at home�. We say �You are GUARANTEED to get robbed at the bank�! Paying with genuine U.S. silver coins sends a strong message to all�.we don�t want any more of that �fake� Federal Reserve money. We�re tired of the bankers controlling the money supply and stealing the value from our currency. Pushing people out of their homes. Go into any merchant and bring your silver coins. Tell them you want to pay in genuine U.S. money. Real money. Not that fake electronic and paper money that depreciates by the day. It�s 100% legal since it�s 100% legal U.S. currency. Tell the merchants you visit to post a sign by their register with that day�s price of silver and the amount dimes, quarters and halves will buy. Tell them to help Occupy Money. Do it now. Occupy Money- It�s Everwhere You Want To Be!

Banks and Transnational Corporations

Banks and Transnational Corporations that Run the World Andy Coghlan and Debora MacKenzie New Scientist October 21, 2011 As protests against financial power sweep the world this week, science may have confirmed the protesters� worst fears. An analysis of the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has identified a relatively small group of companies, mainly banks, with disproportionate power over the global economy. The study�s assumptions have attracted some criticism, but complex systems analysts contacted by New Scientist say it is a unique effort to untangle control in the global economy. Pushing the analysis further, they say, could help to identify ways of making global capitalism more stable. The idea that a few bankers control a large chunk of the global economy might not seem like news to New York�s Occupy Wall Street movement and protesters elsewhere (see photo). But the study, by a trio of complex systems theorists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, is the first to go beyond ideology to empirically identify such a network of power. It combines the mathematics long used to model natural systems with comprehensive corporate data to map ownership among the world�s transnational corporations (TNCs).

Mind Control Theories and Techniques

Tue, 18 Oct 2011 18:25:02 +0000

Mind Control Theories and Techniques used by Mass Media By VC | April 28th, 2010 | Mass media is the most powerful tool used by the ruling class to manipulate the masses. It shapes and molds opinions and attitudes and defines what is normal and acceptable. This article looks at the workings of mass media through the theories of its major thinkers, its power structure and the techniques it uses, in order to understand its true role in society. Programming Through Mass Media Mass media are media forms designed to reach the largest audience possible. They include television, movies, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, records, video games and the internet. Many studies have been conducted in the past century to measure the effects of mass media on the population in order to discover the best techniques to influence it. From those studies emerged the science of Communications, which is used in marketing, public relations and politics. Mass communication is a necessary tool to insure the functionality of a large democracy; it is also a necessary tool for a dictatorship. It all depends on its usage. In the 1958 preface for A Brave New World, Aldous Huxley paints a rather grim portrait of society. He believes it is controlled by an �impersonal force�, a ruling elite, which manipulates the population using various methods. �Impersonal forces over which we have almost no control seem to be pushing us all in the direction of the Brave New Worldian nightmare; and this impersonal pushing is being consciously accelerated by representatives of commercial and political organizations who have developed a number of new techniques for manipulating, in the interest of some minority, the thoughts and feelings of the masses.� - Aldous Huxley, Preface to A Brave New World His bleak outlook is not a simple hypothesis or a paranoid delusion. It is a documented fact, present in the world�s most important studies on mass media. Here are some of them: Elite Thinkers Walter Lippmann Walter Lippmann, an American intellectual, writer and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner brought forth one of the first works concerning the usage of mass media in America. In Public Opinion (1922), Lippmann compared the masses to a �great beast� and a �bewildered herd� that needed to be guided by a governing class. He described the ruling elite as �a specialized class whose interests reach beyond the locality.� This class is composed of experts, specialists and bureaucrats. According to Lippmann, the experts, who often are referred to as �elites,� are to be a machinery of knowledge that circumvents the primary defect of democracy, the impossible ideal of the �omnicompetent citizen.� The trampling and roaring �bewildered herd� has its function: to be �the interested spectators of action,� i.e. not participants. Participation is the duty of �the responsible man�, which is not the regular citizen. Mass media and propaganda are therefore tools that must be used by the elite to rule the public without physical coercion. One important concept presented by Lippmann is the �manufacture of consent�, which is, in short, the manipulation of public opinion to accept the elite�s agenda. It is Lippmann�s opinion that the general public is not qualified to reason and to decide on important issues. It is therefore important for the elite to decide �for its own good� and then sell those decisions to the masses. �That the manufacture of consent is capable of great refinements no one, I think, denies. The process by which public opinions arise is certainly no less intricate than it has appeared in these pages, and the opportunities for manipulation open to anyone who understands the process are plain enough. . . . as a result of psychological research, coupled with the modern means of communication, the practice of democracy has turned a corner. A revolution is taking place, infinitely more significant than any shifting of economic power. . . . Under the impact of propaganda, not necessarily in the sinister meaning of the word alone, the old constants of our thinking have become variables. It is no longer possible, for example, to believe in the original dogma of democracy; that the knowledge needed for the management of human affairs comes up spontaneously from the human heart. Where we act on that theory we expose ourselves to self-deception, and to forms of persuasion that we cannot verify. It has been demonstrated that we cannot rely upon intuition, conscience, or the accidents of casual opinion if we are to deal with the world beyond our reach.� �Walter Lippmann, Public Opinion It might be interesting to note that Lippmann is one of the founding fathers of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the most influential foreign policy think tank in the world. This fact should give you a small hint of the mind state of the elite concerning the usage of media. �Political and economic power in the United States is concentrated in the hands of a �ruling elite� that controls most of U.S.-based multinational corporations, major communication media, the most influential foundations, major private universities and most public utilities. Founded in 1921, the Council of Foreign Relations is the key link between the large corporations and the federal government. It has been called a �school for statesmen� and �comes close to being an organ of what C. Wright Mills has called the Power Elite � a group of men, similar in interest and outlook shaping events from invulnerable positions behind the scenes. The creation of the United Nations was a Council project, as well as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.� - Steve Jacobson, Mind Control in the United States Some current members of the CFR include David Rockefeller, Dick Cheney, Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton, mega-church pastor Rick Warren and the CEOs of major corporations such as CBS, Nike, Coca-Cola and Visa. Carl Jung Carl Jung is the founder of analytical psychology (also known an Jungian psychology), which emphasizes understanding the psyche by exploring dreams, art, mythology, religion, symbols and philosophy. The Swiss therapist is at the origin of many psychological concepts used today such as the Archetype, the Complex, the Persona, the Introvert/Extrovert and Synchronicity. He was highly influenced by the occult background of his family. Carl Gustav, his grandfather, was an avid Freemason (he was Grand Master) and Jung himself discovered that some of his ancestors were Rosicrucians. This might explain his great interest in Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology and symbolism. One of his most important (and misunderstood) concept was the Collective Unconscious. �My thesis, then, is as follows: In addition to our immediate consciousness, which is of a thoroughly personal nature and which we believe to be the only empirical psyche (even if we tack on the personal unconscious as an appendix), there exists a second psychic system of a collective, universal, and impersonal nature which is identical in all individuals. This collective unconscious does not develop individually but is inherited. It consists of pre-existent forms, the archetypes, which can only become conscious secondarily and which give definite form to certain psychic contents.� - Carl Jung, The Concept of the Collective Unconscious The collective unconscious transpires through the existence of similar symbols and mythological figures in different civilizations. Archetypal symbols seem to be embedded in our collective subconscious, and, when exposed to them, we demonstrate natural attraction and fascination. Occult symbols can therefore exert a great impact on people, even if many individuals were never personally introduced to the symbol�s esoteric meaning. Mass media thinkers, such as Edward D. Bernays, found in this concept a great way to manipulate the public�s personal and collective unconscious. Edward Bernays Edward Bernays is considered to be the �father of public relations� and used concepts discovered by his uncle Sigmund Freud to manipulate the public using the subconscious. He shared Walter Lippmann�s view of the general population by considering it irrational and subject to the �herd instinct�. In his opinion, the masses need to be manipulated by an invisible government to insure the survival of democracy. �The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. Our invisible governors are, in many cases, unaware of the identity of their fellow members in the inner cabinet.� - Edward Bernays, Propaganda Bernay�s trailblazing marketing campaigns profoundly changed the functioning of American society. He basically created �consumerism� by creating a culture wherein Americans bought for pleasure instead of buying for survival. For this reason, he was considered by Life Magazine to be in the Top 100 most influential Americans of the 20th century Harold Lasswell In 1939-1940, the University of Chicago was the host of a series of secret seminars on communications. These think tanks were funded by the Rockefeller foundation and involved the most prominent researchers in the fields of communications and sociological studies. One of these scholars was Harold Lasswell, a leading American political scientist and communications theorist, specializing in the analysis of propaganda. He was also of the opinion that a democracy, a government ruled by the people, could not sustain itself without a specialized elite shaping and molding public opinion through propaganda. In his Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences, Lasswell explained that when elites lack the requisite force to compel obedience, social managers must turn to �a whole new technique of control, largely through propaganda.� He added the conventional justification: we must recognize the �ignorance and stupidity [of] � the masses and not succumb to democratic dogmatisms about men being the best judges of their own interests.� Lasswell extensively studied the field of content analysis in order to understand the effectiveness of different types of propaganda. In his essay Contents of Communication, Lasswell explained that, in order to understand the meaning of a message (i.e. a movie, a speech, a book, etc.), one should take into account the frequency with which certain symbols appear in the message, the direction in which the symbols try to persuade the audience�s opinion, and the intensity of the symbols used. Lasswell was famous for his media analysis model based on: Who (says) What (to) Whom (in) What Channel (with) What Effect By this model, Lasswell indicates that in order to properly analyze a media product, one must look at who produced the product (the people who ordered its creation), who was it aimed at (the target audience) and what were the desired effects of this product (to inform, to convince, to sell, etc.) on the audience. Using a Rihanna video as an example, the analysis would be as follows: WHO PRODUCED: Vivendi Universal; WHAT: pop artist Rihanna; TO WHOM: consumers between the ages of 9 and 25; WHAT CHANNEL: music video; and WHAT EFFECT: selling the artist, her song, her image and her message. The analyzes of videos and movies on The Vigilant Citizen place a great importance on the �who is behind� the messages communicated to the public. The term �Illuminati� is often used to describe this small elite group covertly ruling the masses. Although the term sounds quite caricatured and conspiratorial, it aptly describes the elite�s affinities with secret societies and occult knowledge. However, I personally detest using the term �conspiracy theory� to describe what is happening in the mass media. If all the facts concerning the elitist nature of the industry are readily available to the public, can it still be considered a �conspiracy theory�? There used to be a variety of viewpoints, ideas and opinions in popular culture. The consolidation of media corporations has, however, produced a standardization of the cultural industry. Ever wondered why all recent music sounds the same and all recent movies look the same?

Image source deesillustration.comMost of the articles on this site discuss occult symbolism found in objects of popular culture. From these articles arise many legitimate questions relating to the purpose of those symbols and the motivations of those who place them there, but it is impossible for me to provide satisfactory answers to these questions without mentioning many other concepts and facts. I�ve therefore decided to write this article to supply the theoretical and methodological background of the analyzes presented on this site as well as introducing the main scholars of the field of mass communications. Some people read my articles and think I�m saying �Lady Gaga wants to control our minds�. That is not the case. She is simply a small part of the huge system that is the mass media.

It also means that a single message can easily saturate all forms of media to generate consent (i.e. �there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq�). The Standardization of Human Thought The merger of media companies in the last decades generated a small oligarchy of media conglomerates. The TV shows we follow, the music we listen to, the movies we watch and the newspapers we read are all produced by FIVE corporations. The owners of those conglomerates have close ties with the world�s elite and, in many ways, they ARE the elite. By owning all of the possible outlets having the potential to reach the masses, these conglomerates have the power to create in the minds of the people a single and cohesive world view, engendering a �standardization of human thought�. Even movements or styles that are considered marginal are, in fact, extensions of mainstream thinking. Mass medias produce their own rebels who definitely look the part but are still part of the establishment and do not question any of it. Artists, creations and ideas that do not fit the mainstream way of thinking are mercilessly rejected and forgotten by the conglomerates, which in turn makes them virtually disappear from society itself. However, ideas that are deemed to be valid and desirable to be accepted by society are skillfully marketed to the masses in order to make them become self-evident norm. In 1928, Edward Bernays already saw the immense potential of motion pictures to standardize thought: �The American motion picture is the greatest unconscious carrier of propaganda in the world today. It is a great distributor for ideas and opinions. The motion picture can standardize the ideas and habits of a nation. Because pictures are made to meet market demands, they reflect, emphasize and even exaggerate broad popular tendencies, rather than stimulate new ideas and opinions. The motion picture avails itself only of ideas and facts which are in vogue. As the newspaper seeks to purvey news, it seeks to purvey entertainment.� � Edward Bernays, Propaganda These facts were flagged as dangers to human freedom in the 1930′s by thinkers of the school of Frankfurt such as Theodor Adorno and Herbert Marcuse. They identified three main problems with the cultural industry. The industry can: 1.reduce human beings to the state of mass by hindering the development of emancipated individuals, who are capable of making rational decisions; 2.replace the legitimate drive for autonomy and self-awareness by the safe laziness of conformism and passivity; and 3.validate the idea that men actually seek to escape the absurd and cruel world in which they live by losing themselves in a hypnotic state self-satisfaction. The notion of escapism is even more relevant today with advent of online video games, 3D movies and home theaters. The masses, constantly seeking state-of-the-art entertainment, will resort to high-budget products that can only be produced by the biggest media corporations of the world. These products contain carefully calculated messages and symbols which are nothing more and nothing less than entertaining propaganda. The public have been trained to LOVE its propaganda to the extent that it spends its hard-earned money to be exposed to it. Propaganda (used in both political, cultural and commercial sense) is no longer the coercive or authoritative communication form found in dictatorships: it has become the synonym of entertainment and pleasure. �In regard to propaganda the early advocates of universal literacy and a free press envisaged only two possibilities: the propaganda might be true, or it might be false. They did not foresee what in fact has happened, above all in our Western capitalist democracies � the development of a vast mass communications industry, concerned in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less totally irrelevant. In a word, they failed to take into account man�s almost infinite appetite for distractions.� � Aldous Huxley, Preface to A Brave New World A single piece of media often does not have a lasting effect on the human psyche. Mass media, however, by its omnipresent nature, creates a living environment we evolve in on a daily basis. It defines the norm and excludes the undesirable. The same way carriage horses wear blinders so they can only see what is right in front of them, the masses can only see where they are supposed to go. �It is the emergence of mass media which makes possible the use of propaganda techniques on a societal scale. The orchestration of press, radio and television to create a continuous, lasting and total environment renders the influence of propaganda virtually unnoticed precisely because it creates a constant environment. Mass media provides the essential link between the individual and the demands of the technological society.� � Jacques Ellul One of the reasons mass media successfully influences society is due to the extensive amount of research on cognitive sciences and human nature that has been applied to it. Manipulation Techniques �Publicity is the deliberate attempt to manage the public�s perception of a subject. The subjects of publicity include people (for example, politicians and performing artists), goods and services, organizations of all kinds, and works of art or entertainment.� The drive to sell products and ideas to the masses has lead to an unprecedented amount of research on human behavior and on the human psyche. Cognitive sciences, psychology, sociology, semiotics, linguistics and other related fields were and still are extensively researched through well-funded studies. �No group of sociologists can approximate the ad teams in the gathering and processing of exploitable social data. The ad teams have billions to spend annually on research and testing of reactions, and their products are magnificent accumulations of material about the shared experience and feelings of the entire community.� - Marshal McLuhan, The Extensions of Man The results of those studies are applied to advertisements, movies, music videos and other media in order to make them as influential as possible. The art of marketing is highly calculated and scientific because it must reach both the individual and the collective consciousness. In high-budget cultural products, a video is never �just a video,� Images, symbols and meanings are strategically placed in order to generate a desired effect. �It is with knowledge of the human being, his tendencies, his desires, his needs, his psychic mechanisms, his automatisms as well as knowledge of social psychology and analytical psychology that propaganda refines its techniques.� � Propagandes, Jacques Ellul (free translation) Today�s propaganda almost never uses rational or logical arguments. It directly taps into a human�s most primal needs and instincts in order to generate an emotional and irrational response. If we always thought rationally, we probably wouldn�t buy 50% of what we own. Babies and children are constantly found in advertisements targeting women for a specific reason: studies have shown that images of children trigger in women an instinctual need to nurture, to care and to protect, ultimately leading to a sympathetic bias towards the advertisement. . Desensitization In the past, when changes were imposed on populations, they would take to the streets, protest and even riot. The main reason for this clash was due to the fact that the change was clearly announced by the rulers and understood by the population. It was sudden and its effects could clearly be analyzed and evaluated. Today, when the elite needs a part of its agenda to be accepted by the public, it is done through desensitization. The agenda, which might go against the public best interests, is slowly, gradually and repetitively introduced to the world through movies (by involving it within the plot), music videos (who make it cool and sexy) or the news (who present it as a solution to today�s problems). After several years of exposing the masses to a particular agenda, the elite openly presents the concept the world and, due to mental programming, it is greeted with general indifference and is passively accepted. This technique originates from psychotherapy. �The techniques of psychotherapy, widely practiced and accepted as a means of curing psychological disorders, are also methods of controlling people. They can be used systematically to influence attitudes and behavior. Systematic desensitization is a method used to dissolve anxiety so the the patient (public) is no longer troubled by a specific fear, a fear of violence for example. [...] People adapt to frightening situations if they are exposed to them enough�. � Steven Jacobson, Mind Control in the United States Predictive programming is often found in the science fiction genre. It presents a specific image of the future � the one that is desired by the elite � and ultimately becomes in the minds of men an inevitability. A decade ago, the public was being desensitized to war against the Arab world. Today, the population is gradually being exposed to the existence of mind control, of transhumanism and of an Illuminati elite. Emerging from the shadows, those concepts are now everywhere in popular culture. This is what Alice Bailey describes as the �externalization of the hierarchy�: the hidden rulers slowly revealing themselves. Occult Symbolism in Pop Culture Contrarily to the information presented above, documentation on occult symbolism is rather hard to find. This should not come as a surprise as the term �occult�, literally means �hidden�. It also means �reserved to those in the know� as it is only communicated to those who are deemed worthy of the knowledge. It is not taught in schools nor is it discussed in the media. It is thus considered marginal or even ridiculous by the general population. Occult knowledge is NOT, however, considered ridiculous in occult circles. It is considered timeless and sacred. There is a long tradition of hermetic and occult knowledge being taught through secret societies originating from ancient Egyptians, to Eastern Mystics, to the Knights Templar to modern day Freemasons. Even if the nature and the depth of this knowledge was most probably modified and altered throughout the centuries, mystery schools kept their main features, which are highly symbolic, ritualistic and metaphysical. Those characteristics, which were an intricate part of ancient civilizations, have totally been evacuated from modern society to be replaced by pragmatic materialism. For this reason, there lies an important gap of understanding between the pragmatic average person and the ritualistic establishment. �If this inner doctrine were always concealed from the masses, for whom a simpler code had been devised, is it not highly probable that the exponents of every aspect of modern civilization � philosophic, ethical, religious, and scientific-are ignorant of the true meaning of the very theories and tenets on which their beliefs are founded? Do the arts and sciences that the race has inherited from older nations conceal beneath their fair exterior a mystery so great that only the most illumined intellect can grasp its import? Such is undoubtedly the case.� - Manly P. Hall, Secret Teachings of All Ages The �simpler code� devised for the masses used to be organized religions. It is now becoming the Temple of the Mass Media and it preaches on a daily basis extreme materialism, spiritual vacuosity and a self-centered, individualistic existence. This is exactly the opposite of the attributes required to become a truly free individual, as taught by all great philosophical schools of thought. Is a dumbed-down population easier to deceive and to manipulate? �These blind slaves are told they are �free� and �highly educated� even as they march behind signs that would cause any medieval peasant to run screaming away from them in panic-stricken terror. The symbols that modern man embraces with the naive trust of an infant would be tantamount to billboards reading, �This way to your death and enslavement,� to the understanding of the traditional peasant of antiquity� - Michael A. Hoffman II, Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare In Conclusion This article examined the major thinkers in the field of mass media, the media power structure and the techniques used to manipulate the masses. I believe this information is vital to the understanding of the �why� in the topics discussed on The Vigilant Citizen. The �mass population� versus �ruling class� dichotomy described in many articles is not a �conspiracy theory� (again, I hate that term), but a reality that has been clearly stated in the works of some of the 20th century�s most influential men. Lippmann, Bernays and Lasswell have all declared that the public are not fit to decide their own fate, which is the inherent goal of democracy. Instead, they called for a cryptocracy, a hidden government, a ruling class in charge of the �bewildered herd.� As their ideas continue to be applied to society, it is increasingly apparent that an ignorant population is not an obstacle that the rulers must deal with: It is something that is DESIRABLE and, indeed, necessary, to insure total leadership. An ignorant population does not know its rights, does not seek a greater understanding of issues and does not question authorities. It simply follows trends. Popular culture caters to and nurtures ignorance by continually serving up brain-numbing entertainment and spotlighting degenerate celebrities to be idolized. Many people ask me: �Is there a way to stop this?� Yes, there is. STOP BUYING THEIR CRAP AND READ A BOOK. �If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be.� - Thomas Jefferson

Study: Unvaccinated children less

Thu, 13 Oct 2011 15:49:01 +0000

Study: Unvaccinated children less prone to allergies and disease than vaccinated children Ethan Huff Natural News October 13, 2011 It is commonly assumed that vaccinations are responsible for bringing about substantial improvements in public health, and that humans were much more prone to developing serious disease prior to their advent. But a new survey released by VaccineInjury.info debunks this myth by showing that unvaccinated children are far less prone to developing allergies, autoimmune disorders, neurological problems, endocrine diseases, and other illnesses compared to their vaccinated counterparts. German homeopathic practitioner Andreas Bachmair compiled health data on more than 8,000 unvaccinated children from at least 15 different countries, and compared it to health data compiled on more than 17,400 vaccinated children involved in a German study known asKiGGS � The German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents. The children involved in both studies ranged in age from 0 � 17, but most of the children involved in the unvaccinated study were eight years of age or younger. Both studies, however, used the same criteria for collecting data on children�s health, and both are considered to have arrived at valid results. In every single health category evaluated as part of both studies, the overall health of unvaccinated children was leaps and bounds ahead of the vaccinated children. The allergy rate among vaccinated children, for instance, was more than double the allergy rate among unvaccinated children. And worse, vaccinated children were found to be nearly eight times more prone to developing asthma or chronic Bronchitis than were unvaccinated children. Another significant difference between the two groups was observed in the category of autoimmune disorders. While less than half of one percent of unvaccinated children were found to have developed an autoimmune disease, roughly seven percent of vaccinated children developed one � and according to the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), nearly 25 percent of Americans today suffer from at least one autoimmune disorder. The other health categories where unvaccinated children fared better than vaccinated children included neurodermatitis, herpes, otitis media, hay fever, hyperactivity, scoliosis, epilepsy and seizures, migraine headaches, and thyroid disease. The only category where disease rates were roughly equal between the two groups was in the category of diabetes mellitus, a disease which affects only about 0.2% of children under 20 anyway.

Jerry Brown legalizes 12-year-old

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 18:24:40 +0000

Jerry Brown legalizes 12-year-old children giving �consent� to Gardasil vaccine injections �.But bans tanning beds for under-18′s Mike Adams Natural News Tuesday, October 11, 2011 Insanity prevailed in California once again today as Governor Jerry Brown signed bill AB499 allowing 12-year-old children the ability to consent to being injected with Gardasil vaccines without their parents� knowledge; yet at the same time the Governor banned the use of tanning beds by anyone under 18 unless they received parental consent (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011�). For the record, HPV vaccines are widely linked to maiming and even killing countless children while contributing absolutely nothing to the body�s real defense of cervical cancer (http://www.naturalnews.com/031279_H�). The entire fabrication of quack science behind HPV vaccines is nothing but a corporation fantasy created to drum up sales for vaccines. In contrast to that, tanning beds have actually been scientifically shown to increase vitamin D levels in people who are deficient in vitamin D (http://www.naturalnews.com/024687_V�) � and that includes the vast majority of the population living in California. Learn more:http://www.naturalnews.com/033831_Jerry_Brown_Gardasil.html#ixzz1aSvS3vTs 12-year-old children cannot give adult consent! The whole idea that 12-year-old children can give �consent� to being injected with HPV vaccines is a total violation of common sense and yet another encroachment of the nanny state upon the rights of parents. The idea that 12-year-old children can consent to invasive medical procedures that carry a very real risk of death is absurd. Is the state now going to say that 12-year-old children are adults and can buy beer, drive vehicles and consent to sexual encounters with other adults, too? If Jerry Brown is saying that 12-year-old children are old enough to make such major decisions about their sexual health, then by implication he�s also saying that 12-year-olds have the right to decide, for example, that they want to have sex with a 20-year-old. But that�s crazy. This is why we have laws about sexual predators who target minors. It�s based on the premise that minors do not yet have the worldview understanding to make well-informed decisions about their own wellbeing, and that they are thus easily preyed upon by those who would approach them with their own selfish agenda. Such as the vaccine industry, for example. Now, by removing parental consent from the decision-making process for HPV vaccines, the vaccine industry can medically exploit children�s bodies which sounds a lot like rape. And just as physically raping a child will leave permanent scars, HPV injections often cause their own permanent damage � or even death! Jerry Brown advocates the chemical raping of children What I�m saying here � and I want to be completely clear in my choice of words � is that Jerry Brown promotes the chemical raping of children by the vaccine industry. That he has sided with the vaccine industry over the lawful rights of parents is an outrage. This is disgusting, immoral behavior from a dangerously overreaching politician who now feels he has the power to usurp parents� rights and turn over their children to the whims of the criminal vaccine industry� the same industry that uses children as guinea pigs to run outlandish medical experiments in countries around the world (http://www.naturalnews.com/019187.html). The vaccine industry in particular is steeped in criminality, including one of its godfathers, Dr. Jonas Salk, who conducted illegal medical experiments on U.S. insane asylum residents (http://www.naturalnews.com/031564_J�). At the same time, Gardasil has been found to be widely contaminated with rDNA from HPV strains (http://www.naturalnews.com/033585_G�), meaning that thanks to Jerry Brown, this contaminated andpotentially deadlymish-mash of chemicals can be injected into 12-year-old children without their parents even knowing about it. Thanks, Governor, for poisoning the children of California! What�s next: Chemotherapy for schoolgirls? Think about the implications of this precedent in California. If the state now believes it can selectively �grant� children the right to consent to highly invasive and even deadly medical procedures, then where does this stop? Will schools roll out preventive chemotherapy sessions for all fifth-grade girls with the claim that the state if preventing breast cancer by injecting young girls with toxic chemotherapy agents? Will schools allow children to consent to Big Pharma experimental vaccine trials without parental consent as long as those trials are excused as being for �public health?� Will California�s public schools now start teaching children that oral sex is once again safe because even the little boys have been injected with HPV vaccines designed to prevent cervical cancer? Will they give lessons on oral sex in the classrooms to explain why even the boys are being lined up and injected with Gardasil? One day, parents in California will find their little boys coming home from school and telling them, �Today at school we learned about oral sex and got Gardasil shots to protect us from disease! Here�s my permission slip, which they let me sign myself! Aren�t you proud of me?� Total California cave-in to the criminal vaccine industry You see, the insanity just never ends once you start giving in to the dark side of the vaccine industry. By signing this bill into law, Governor Jerry Brown has given his middle finger to California�s parents and delivered millions of fresh, young children to the vaccine industry�s insatiable desire for profit at any cost. Yeah, this is blunt language, but these are issues of such seriousness that they call for total honesty about what just happened. Jerry Brown just let the vaccine industry chemically rape the children of California with a provably deadly vaccine that offers absolutely no scientifically-supportable benefits (unless, of course, you believe all the quack science fabricated by the vaccine makers themselves, which shouldn�t count in any honest assessment of efficacy). This is a reflection of the scam that Texas Governor Rick Perry tried to pull off with his ill-fated mandate of the Gardasil vaccine in Texas. That was eventually exposed as a total insider job with a key Rick Perry staffer being on the Merck payroll, and now Perry is paying the price in the Presidential race for his Big Brother vaccine mandate. Jerry Brown will probably never run for President, so he seems to be more concerned with leaving a legacy of some sort. What he doesn�t realize is that his legacy will be a line of gravestones of dead and suffering children from the vaccine he �granted� those children the ability to accept without parental permission. This guy is going to be haunted by the souls of countless little boys and girls whose lives were stolen from them by deadly chemicals which were dishonestly marketed to them as safe. Here comes the public school vaccine propaganda Because what we�re going to see now in California is a public school vaccination propaganda campaign that pressures little children into being vaccinated through a carefully-planned social engineering assault. Public schools, which already lie to students about everything from world history to economics, will blatantly lie to the students about vaccines, stating things like �people who don�t get vaccinated can spread disease� and then reinforcing vaccine acceptance with things like candy and donuts. This is the way social engineers operate: The make you unpopular or try to make you feel guilty if you don�t do what they want you to do. But if you go along with their agenda, they reward you with social acceptance and food or monetary awards. I can see these schools even offering students $5 in cash if they accept the vaccine shots without parental consent. There is no end to the evil trickery and the downright scientific fraud that will be committed in California to force these injections onto schoolchildren there. As NaturalNews readers already well know, the vaccine industry will stop at nothing to force its deadly chemicals onto infants, children and teens. Whether you think this is just a profit agenda or something far worse � such as a population control agenda � doesn�t really matter. What matters is that by signing this law, Governor Jerry Brown has ensnared children in the state-run vaccine agenda while telling parents �Hands off your own children!� The STATE shall decide what gets injected into your child from now on! Let�s face it, the idea that a 12-year-old child can give �consent� to any medical procedure is a total fiasco. If it weren�t so sad, it would be laughable. Keep in mind that by signing this bill, Jerry Brown is saying that children who are too young to watch a PG-13 movie without parental consent can suddenly say YES to being injected with what is essentially an experimental cocktail of viral fragments, toxic preservatives and neurologically damaging adjuvants. Is this not a felony assault on children? If you jab some kid with a needle filled with toxins, that�s a felony, even if they give you permission, right? So why is it suddenly okay for public school nurses to do the same thing even without parental consent? Jerry Brown, you are a shameful human being and a sellout to the criminal vaccine industry. No matter what other good you may have done in public office, it can never outweigh the torrent of evil you have unleashed with this single irresponsible action. May these deaths weigh heavily upon your conscience as you burn in eternity for willfully violating the sacred bodies of countless innocent children who will now suffer and die because of your grotesque, nefarious actions. Whether you believe in the quack science of vaccines or not, for God�s sake let the PARENTS decide what should be done with their own children, not the (corrupt) state! You gotta love California, folks: This is the state that believes fresh cow�s milk is so dangerous for children that those who distribute it are charged with felony crimes and subjected to terror-level surveillance campaigns even when parents want the fresh milk for their babies. But toxic, deadly vaccines are so �safe� that children can give consent to them without their parents� approval whatsoever!

Action Needed: Obama �s Internet

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 16:00:40 +0000

Action Needed: Obama �s Internet Takeover to Begin Nov. 20 Posted on September 26, 2011 by a12iggymom Grassfire Nation Update Late last week, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) took what is being called �the final step� towards implementing their illegal Net Neutrality regulations. You may recall, that back on December 21, the FCC bypassed government regulations and seized control of the Internet, delivering what many believe is a knockout blow to one of the last, great free-market frontiers our nation and the world has ever seen. According to the organization Less Government, regardless of a multiple lawsuits, a move by the House of Representatives and a D.C. Circuit Court unanimously ruling that the FCC had no authority to take control, the fed is still arrogantly pushing forward toward full implementation of their Net Neutrality regulations on November 20! The FCC�s Net Neutrality regulations would be job-killers, likely stifling the $30 billion annually that investors pour into Internet development and advancement and hundreds of thousands of jobs. And that�s not the worst of it� As we warned several months ago, these regulations will lead to the FCC�s control Web content! Should we expect anything less? Considering government growth and control is surging while private sector job opportunities continue shrinking! Now Americans are in danger of losing their free speech rights through this latest FCC Net Neutrality power-grab! A Grassroots Call to Action! The only way to stop this runaway train is for grassroots Americans to appeal to the Senate to move quickly to pass a Congressional Review Act (CRA) Resolution that would effectively kill the illegal, job-killing Net Neutrality order. With more than 100,000 petitions already in hand, Grassfire Nation is asking key members of our team � like you, who haven�t yet added their name to our petition, to do so right now. With your help, we anticipate delivering 150,000 petitions or more in the week ahead as we work together to stop the federal takeover of the Internet! After signing, please alert your friends and family members. Since this has not been publicized by the liberal media, many Internet users are likely unaware of the huge threat looming overhead. You can help change that by sending this message to them and encouraging them to take action with you by clicking below.

Pakistan: Haqqani network,

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 18:23:44 +0000

Pakistan: Haqqani network, CIA agents Tue Sep 27, 2011 Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar (R) and Pakistan's Ambassador to the UN Abdullah Hussain Haroon (L) are seen during the 66th session of the General Assembly at United Nations headquarters Monday, Sept. 19, 2011.The Foreign Minister of Pakistan Hina Rabbani Khar has denied US accusations against the Pakistani intelligence agency, saying that the Haqqani network was once the �blue-eyed boy� of the CIA. �If we talk about links, I am sure the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) also has links with many terrorist organizations around the world, by which we mean intelligence links,� Khar said in an interview with Al Jazeera news channel on Monday. The Pakistani foreign minister, who leads Islamabad's delegation to the UN General Assembly in New York, pointed to the al-Qaeda-affiliated Haqqani group and added that �this particular network, which the United States continues to talk about, is a network which was the blue-eyed boy of the CIA itself for many years.� The remarks come as the outgoing US Joint Chief of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen claimed on Thursday that Pakistan's spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), was supporting the Taliban-allied Haqqani network of militants, which has been blamed for a recent assault on the US embassy in the Afghan capital, Kabul. "The Haqqani network, for one, acts as a veritable arm of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency," Mullen asserted in a recent testimony to the US Senate Armed Services Committee. �In choosing to use violent extremism as an instrument of policy, the government of Pakistan, and most especially the Pakistani Army and the ISI, jeopardizes not only the prospect of our strategic partnership but Pakistan's opportunity to be a respected nation with legitimate regional influence,'' he claimed. Responding to Mullen, Khar noted that "it is something that goes very, very unappreciated on our side,� adding, "This is unsubstantiated. No evidence has been shared with us." Washington has frequently blamed Pakistan for not doing enough to fight terrorism in its troubled northwestern tribal belt, which runs along the Afghan border. Also contributing to the souring bilateral ties have been the unauthorized US drone attacks on Pakistani soil, which Islamabad regards as violation of its sovereignty. Many Pakistani civilians have fallen victim to US drone attacks in the country. Despite the continuing US allegations against Islamabad, the security situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan has severely deteriorated ever since the 2001 US-led invasion of Afghanistan under the pretext of a 'war on terror,' with steadily growing terror attacks in both countries, leading to mostly civilian casualties.

Martial Law Drill Commences as

Fri, 23 Sep 2011 16:32:11 +0000

Martial Law Drill Commences as Economy Begins Descent Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com September 23, 2011 A massive terror drill � remarkably ignored by all but local media � is now underway in Denver, Colorado. More than 100 government agencies are taking part in Operation Mountain Guardian, made possible due to a grant from the Department of Homeland Security through FEMA Region VIII and the State of Colorado Governor�s Office of Homeland Security, according to KDVR in Denver. Mock terror drills will be staged at a mall, an elementary school, a community college, a hospital, and transportation hubs, including the Denver airport. The exercise is scheduled to begin at 5 a.m. and end by 4:30 p.m., according to ABC 7 News in Denver. KDVR reports that the media will be allowed to report on the events, but a news advisory PDF released by officialdom states media coverage will be restricted to �outside areas.� Terror drills are of particular concern due to the fact that several were staged on September 11, 2001, and July 7, 2005, during attacks attributed to Muslim cave dwellers and associated patsies. On the morning of September 11, 2001, the CIA was conducting a terror exercise and several days earlier, on September 6, NORAD simulated two hijackings as part of Vigilant Guardian. According to the government�s 9/11 report, one military scenario included terrorists hijacking a London to New York flight and blowing it up with explosives over New York. The previous year, in October of 2000, a military exercise was conducted which consisted of a scenario simulating a passenger plane crashing into the Pentagon. Drills were also held during the London terror bombings of July 7, 2005. Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, a private firm on contract to the London Metropolitan Police, described in a BBC interview how he had organized and conducted the anti-terror drill. The fictional scenario was based on simultaneous bombs going off at exactly the same time at the underground stations where the real attacks occurred. The possibility of an actual terror event �going live� during the Operation Mountain Guardian is minimal, however, and the massive coordinated event in Colorado is designed as part of a larger effort to federalize local officials for the eventual implementation of martial law, likely in response to economic conditions, not false flag terror per se. For more than a decade, Alex Jones and Infowars.com have covered efforts by the federal government to implement martial law. In 2008, investigative journalist Wayne Madsen reported from information provided by inside sources at FEMA that the feds were preparing for martial law triggered by �continuing economic collapse with massive social unrest, bank closures resulting in violence against financial institutions, and another fraudulent presidential election that would result in rioting in major cities and campuses around the country.� Infowars.com has posted scores of stories over the years documenting efforts by FEMA, Northcom, Infragard and dozens of other agencies and organizations working toward a common goal of a military dictatorship and closing down the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as predicted by General Tommy Franks. Infowars.com and Prison Planet.com will monitor the situation in Denver closely and report all developments.

California City Closes Down Bible

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 21:04:42 +0000

California City Closes Down Bible Study in Private Home Kurt Nimmo Inowars.com September 21, 2011 In Orange County, California, it is illegal to hold a religious meeting in your home. This is what Chuck and Stephanie Fromm, of San Juan Capistrano, discovered when they were fined $300 earlier this month for holding a Bible study class on their property. Officialdom in the county said the couple were singled out because it is considered illegal to hold �a regular gathering of more than three people� on private property. Officials stated that the Fromms require a license to hold meetings in their home. San Juan Capistrano authorities claim home Bible study is not allowed because it is a �church,� and churches require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in residential areas. The Fromms face additional fines of $500 per meeting for any further �religious gatherings� in their home, according to the Pacific Justice Institute. The city�s action is a brazen violation of the First Amendment, which guarantees free worship without government intervention. PJI and the Fromms plan to appeal a decision made by the city to uphold the fine and restriction to the California Superior Court in Orange County, according to KCOY 12 News, a Fox affiliate. Ironically, the city of San Juan Capistrano was founded as a mission in the late 1700s by Catholic priest Junipero Serra. A local chapel established by Serra is the oldest standing building in California.

3 Girls Dead, Others Hospitalized

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 19:05:27 +0000

3 Girls Dead, Others Hospitalized After Gardasil HPV Vaccine Anthony Gucciardi Activist Post September 14, 2011 Following controversy over U.S. state legislatures requiring young girls to take Gardasil, Merck�s vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV), a number of severe side effects have been observed along with the recent deaths of 3 young girls. Gardasil is now marketed towards men and women up to age 26 as a �preventative� tool against anal cancer. As of January 2010, Gardasil has been linked to 49 deaths and countless side-effects, while cancer associated with HPV is only responsible for 1% of all cancer deaths. Why then, is it being recommended to millions worldwide? As of June 2009, 15 million girls have been injected with the Gardasil vaccine. Out of 15 million people, 49 deaths may not seem like a lot. Unfortunately, however, there are many more cases of extreme side effects from the vaccination. In fact, the amount of adverse reactions was so high that Judicial Watch, a group that claims to expose government corruption, was forced to step in. Between May 2009 and September 2010 alone, Gardasil was linked to 3,589 harmful reactions and 16 deaths. Of the 3,589 adverse reactions, many were debilitating. Permanent disability was the result of 213 cases; 25 resulted in the diagnosis of Guillain-Barre Syndrome; and there were 789 other �serious� reports according to FDA documents. In August 2008, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) required all female immigrants between the ages of 11 and 26 to receive at least one dose of the Gardasil vaccination if they planned on entering the United States. The enforcement was due to a law created in 1996 that required immigrants to receive any vaccination that was recommended by the United States government. The difference between the citizens of the U.S. and the immigrants seeking refuge within the country, is that the citizens can refuse any vaccination they do not wish to receive. While the requirement was lifted on December 14, 2009, countless immigrants were affected. This held especially true for the female immigrants who intended to have children. According to reports, 28 women experienced miscarriages within 30 days of receiving the Gardasil injection. In response, the FDA said it is not worth investigating. Going against the FDA claims that Gardasil was completely safe, some government officials expressed concern over the fact that Gardasil was ever recommended for U.S. citizens. �If we had known about it, we would have said it�s not a good idea,� said Jon Abramson, the former chairman of the CDC�s Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices. Dr. Diane Harper was the lead researcher during the creation of both Gardasil and a similar vaccine, Cervarix. Leading the research team gave Dr. Harper an inside look at the effects of Gardasil, which she has been exposing for over a year. Dr. Harper said that Gardasil would do very little to fight cervical cancer, and at the very least it should not be recommended to children younger than 15. Unfortunately, the CDC did not agree, boasting about the anti-cancer effects of Gardasil and even going as far as to recommend it to girls as young as 9. Dr. Harper says that 70% of all HPV infections resolve themselves within a year, and within 2 years the percentage climbs to 90%. During an address at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination, Dr. Harper explained the risks associated with Gardasil. Instead of promoting the vaccine, which was expected of her, she told the truth. The audience was dazzled. �I came away from the talk with the perception that the risk of adverse side effects is so much greater than the risk of cervical cancer, I couldn�t help but question why we need the vaccine at all,� said Joan Robinson, Assistant Editor at the Population Research Institute. Experts have spoken out, and the documents have been released. Gardasil is a deadly injection that claims to treat an infection that has a 90% chance to resolve itself within two years. With Rick Perry�s failed attempt to force Gardasil on Texan schoolgirls, it is easy to see that the world has awoken to the truth regarding Gardasil. The research is clear: stay away from this poison serum.

Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 14:40:47 +0000

Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry Into 9/11 Calls for a New 9/11 Investigation Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry Into 9/11 � and Former Head of the Senate Intelligence Committee � Calls for a New 9/11 Investigation Washington�s Blog Sept 13, 2011 The Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 and former Head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Bob Graham, previously stated that an FBI informant had hosted and rented a room to two hijackers in 2000 and that, when the Inquiry sought to interview the informant, the FBI refused outright, and then hid him in an unknown location, and that a high-level FBI official stated these blocking maneuvers were undertaken under orders from the White House (confirmed here). Today, Graham called for a new 9/11 investigation. As Raw Story notes: Graham on Monday called on the U.S. government to reopen its investigation into 9/11after a report found that links between Saudi Arabia and the hijackers were never disclosed by the FBI to the 2002 joint Congressional intelligence committee investigating the attacks. �In the final report of the congressional inquiry, there was a chapter related primarily to the Saudi role in 9/11 that was totally censored, every word of the chapter has been withheld from the public,� Graham said on MSNBC�s The Dylan Ratigan Show. �Some of the other questions we ought to be asking are if we know that the Saudis who lived in San Diego and now apparently in Sarasota received substantial assistance, what about the Saudis who lived in Phoenix, Arizona? Or Arlington, Virginia? � What was happening in those places?� �I believe these are questions for which there are definitive answers, but the American people and largely their elected representatives have been denied that information.� Many other 9/11 Commissioners and congressmen have called for a new investigation, including: For example: 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that �There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn�t have access . . . .� He also says that it might take �a permanent 9/11 commission� to end the remaining mysteries of September 11 9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says �I don�t believe for a minute we got everything right�, that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, and that the 9/11 debate should continue 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: �It is a national scandal�;�This investigation is now compromised�; and �One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up� Senator Mike Gravel � who was the main congressman responsible for making the Pentagon Papers public � calls for a new 9/11 investigation Congressman Ron Paul calls for a new 9/11 investigation and states that �we see the [9/11] investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on� Congressman Dennis Kucinich wants a new investigation Congressman Jason Chafetz says that we need to be vigilant and continue to investigate 9/11 Senator Lincoln Chaffee endorses a new investigation Congressman Dan Hamburg wants a new investigation In addition,many high-level military and intelligence officials have called for a new investigation, including: Daniel Ellsberg has called for a new investigation U.S. General, Commanding General of U.S. European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe, decorated with the Bronze Star, Silver Star, and Purple Heart (General Wesley Clark) said �We�ve never finished the investigation of 9/11 and whether the administration actually misused the intelligence information it had. The evidence seems pretty clear to me. I�ve seen that for a long time� Former Deputy Secretary for Intelligence and Warning under Nixon, Ford, and Carter (Morton Goulder), former Deputy Director to the White House Task Force on Terrorism (Edward L. Peck), and former US Department of State Foreign Service Officer (J. Michael Springmann), as well as a who�s who of liberals and independents) jointly call for a new investigation into 9/11 And numerous high-level judges, legal professors and trial lawyers call for a new investigation.

In Labor Dispute, 500 Union Members

Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:15:02 +0000

In Labor Dispute, 500 Union Members Storm Port, Take Six Hostages Lachlan Markay September 8, 2011 Incidents of union violence rarely reach the level they did in Seattle, WA, Thursday morning. Upset the Port of Longview had hired contractors from a different union, 500 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, brandishing baseball bats and crowbars, stormed the port and held six security guards hostage. [Longview police chief Jim] Duscha said tensions between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and EGT Terminal have run hot for the past few months after contract negotiations broke down. The ILWU believes it has the right to work at the facility, but the company has hired a contractor that�s staffing a workforce of other union laborers. Thursday�s violence was first reported by Kelso radio station KLOG. �We�re not surprised,� Duscha said. �A lot of the protesters were telling us this in only the start.� One police sergeant was threatened with baseball bats and retreated, Duscha said. �One officer with hundreds of Longshoremen? He used the better part of discretion.� The train was the first grain shipment to arrive at Longview. It arrived Wednesday night after police arrested 19 demonstrators who tried to block the tracks. They were led by ILWU International President Robert McEllrath, who said they would return. The blockade appeared to defy a federal restraining order issued last week against the union after it was accused of assaults and death threats. Longshoremen elsewhere in the state walked out in a show of solidarity with the Longview mob. One worker had a telling complaint: �They want to phase out longshoremen,� said Steve Ritchie of the International Longshore & Warehouse Union in Everett. �They want to make everything automatic.�

Paul Wins Post Debate MSNBC Poll

Thu, 08 Sep 2011 14:36:07 +0000

Paul Wins Post Debate MSNBC Poll Thursday, September 8, 2011 by Tony Rutherford HuntingtonNews.Net Reporter Commentary flying after the MSNBC Presidential debate centered on the barbs between Mitt Romney and Rick Perry. However, nearly 70,000 cast their votes on MSNBC�s website following the contest. Nearly half of those participating a thumbs up to Rep. Ron Paul. Romney and Perry took second and third respectively. Paul polled 47%, Romney 19.4% and Perry 15.1%. Responders noted that Paul had been given �almost no time to speech� yet provided the most substantive answers. Paul stressed de-centralization of government as the solution to the nation�s woes. He had strong answers for several �baited� questions. For instance, a commentator asked him about dismantling regulations, suggesting that without the federal government no one would have charge of consumer oversight or even air traffic control. Not missing a beat, Paul explained, �you do not need government in a free society. The market place takes care of regulation. I say consumers in America are smart enough to buy a safe car.� He added that privatization would replace national regulation and needed regulations would fall by to state and local control. Taking a swipe at government agencies, Paul reminded everyone that regulations prevented air craft pilots from carrying guns. If the pilots of the terrorist hijacked pilots on 9/11 had weapons, the tragic attacks likely would have been foiled. The candidate suggested that �Congressional lobbyists have control of writing regulations� through political contributions. When government �runs people�s lives,� the �mandates� administered are plagued by inflationary issues. Commentators often cut him off not allowing him to assert �the details� of terminating the federal government from �running our lives.� The same time fixed brevity impacted Michelle B1chmann who stated that �Obama care is killing jobs� and �kids need jobs.� The how and alternatives were not explored. Rick Perry seemed to debate Democrats as well as Romney. Perry, stated JFK had stressed the �most powerful welfare program is a job, appearing to attack President Obama and the Democrats before Thursday�s jobs speech to the nation. Meanwhile, Paul differentiated himself from President Ronald Reagan�s agenda and the former president�s results, He recalled that in the 1980�s �We spent too much and talked too much,� resulting in �huge deficits. I support President Reagan�s message, not the consequences.�
