    In 2007, Boyd's 16-year-old son, Luqman, was killed in a car crash. "I had already been through this two years prior," she said. Don't Miss * Public's help needed in terror fight, Napolitano says * Eighth suspect sought in N.C. terrorism case * Al Qaeda conspirator resentenced to life She said authorities took her, her daughter and pregnant daughter-in-law to the hospital, where she learned that her husband and sons had not been in a car accident and were not injured. "When we got to the hospital, they brought us around back, separated us, handcuffed us, including my eight-month pregnant daughter[-in-law], and were very rude and then told us, 'They're not dying; they're detained. And you better cooperate with us.' "

American Daily Review - Life & Family - Is the Democrats Health Reform Too Mu... - 0 views

  •  
    I can not help but be reminded of the 1973 science fiction movie, Soylent Green (MGM Production-based upon the novel, Make Room! Make Room! By Harry Harrison), in which a society running out of resources resorts to mercy killing of the elderly and ultimately uses them for a food source. In that society, participants were convinced there was a high value in undergoing a short lived wondrous death experience and a low value in living a life as an elderly disabled or in-firmed nonproductive citizen.

FDA concludes mercury in dental fillings not risky - Inside Bay Area - 0 views

  •  
    # Most mercury exposure in humans is either from dental amalgams or fish consumption. Each contains distinct types of mercury. Humans also process each differently and have different tolerances for them. ELEMENTAL MERCURY: Dental amalgams contain pure mercury, which emits vapors. Mercury vapor enters the body through the lungs, and 80 percent of inhaled vapors are absorbed. Elemental mercury that happens to be swallowed quickly passes through the body, as "negligible" amounts are absorbed through the digestive system. # METHYLMERCURY: This is a type of "organic" mercury that's combined with other molecules, usually through bacterial action, to form a compound called methylmercury. In this form, mercury is easily absorbed in the digestive system. Methylmercury is found in most fish at varying levels, depending upon the type of fish and its age. Most methylmercury exposure is through fish consumption, and it's considered more toxic than mercury vapor.

    "The current downturn beginning in 2008 is more pronounced," Steven Landefeld, director of the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis, said in a press briefing this week.

Democracy Now! Broadcast Exclusive: Declassified Docs Reveal Military Operative Spied o... - 0 views

  •  
    Newly declassified documents reveal that an active member of Students for a Democratic Society and Port Militarization Resistance in Washington state was actually an informant for the US military. The man everyone knew as "John Jacob" was in fact John Towery, a member of the Force Protection Service at Fort Lewis. The military's role in the spying raises questions about possibly illegal activity. The Posse Comitatus law bars the use of the armed forces for law enforcement inside the United States. The Fort Lewis military base denied our request for an interview. But in a statement to Democracy Now!, the base's Public Affairs office publicly acknowledged for the first time that Towery is a military operative. "This could be one of the key revelations of this era," said Eileen Clancy, who has closely tracked government spying on activist organizations. [includes rush transcript]

    independence, and it wouldn't put Congress in charge of monetary policy. An audit is simply an examination of records or financial accounts to check their accuracy. We must not equate "independence" with secrecy. No matter how intelligent or well-intentioned the Fed chairman and his staff may be, it isn't appropriate to give a handful of people the power to lend an unlimited supply of money to anyone it wants without sufficient oversight. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The American people have a right to know what is being done with their hard-earned taxpayer dollars. This money does not belong to the Fed; it belongs to the American people. ad_icon BERNARD SANDERS U.S. Senator (I-Vt.) Washington The writer is the sponsor of the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act. Tuesday, July 28, 2009 Regarding the July 24 editorial "Focus on the Fed": What a sad day for a newspaper with a storied reputation for exposing waste, fraud and abuse in government, to oppose the Federal Reserve Sunshine Act, legislation that would simply increase transparency at the Federal Reserve. The Fed has expanded its balance sheet by more than $1 trillion in taxpayer dollars in response to the financial crisis. Who received this money? Is it being used primarily to help ordinary Americans or just the wealthy and well-connected? What conflicts of interest exist between members of the Fed and Wall Street bankers? This is all information that the American people deserve to know. The Fed isn't answering these questions. That is why an independent audit of the Fed is gaining such bipartisan support. This legislation wouldn't undermine the Fed's

    They understand socialism. They understand tyrants. But none of us have ever had it here. We don't even know what it looks like. Part of what we're trying to do in "Saving Freedom" is just show that where we are, we're about where Germany was before World War II where they became a social democracy. You still had votes but the votes were just power grabs like you see in Iran, and other places in South America, like Chavez is running down in Venezuela. People become more dependent on the government so that they're easy to manipulate. And they keep voting for more government because that's where their security is. When our immigrants get here, they're worried, because they see it happening here.

American Daily Review - US & World Politics - Obama Joker Posters in Los Ange... - 0 views

  •  
    When the Obama-Joker posters began to appear in Los Angeles, it gave me a little chuckle. I mean, think about it. The Joker in The Dark Knight was more of an anarchist, than a big government, totalitarian fascist like Barack Obama. Nonetheless, the appearance of these posters may be indicative of the growing discontent by the public with the Obama Administration. In fact, it seems there is a growing trend of people willing to lash out at Obama and his idiotic policies at townhall meetings too.

    There's been an mass/chain email going around about my tweets on the Health Care Bill. The problem with this email is that it misquotes what I actually said. It also makes things up that were never in my tweets as well. You can view my actual tweets in my post - The HC Monstrosity - All 1,018 pages. The email has gotten so bad in fact, that I have word it's now going directly to people's spam folders.

The Truth about Flu Shots - 0 views

  •  
    On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that it had declared "Level 6" pandemic emergency with regard to the "swine flu." Shortly thereafter, on cue, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that we should expect mass vaccination in this country to begin as early as September, 2009. We have been covering the development of the global pandemic preparedness machinery in The IO since June, 1998. It is our belief that this machine has been in motion since March 28, 2009 and will not be stopped; that the global influenza pandemic the CDC and WHO have been predicting (planning) for at least a decade will be declared-whether people are pandemically sick and dying or not-and the global mass vaccination campaign for which they have been preparing since the 1970s swine flu fiasco will commence-soon. It is absolutely crucial that you share the following information with your friends, family and both elected and appointed bureaucrats within your community.

    Coming soon to America, preferential treatment for gays, and a loss of jobs for Christians daring to disagree with the gay lifestyle. Why not? It's happening in Canada and Britain. In fact, in the United Kingdom a Christian doctor got kicked off an adoption panel because she wished to abstain from voting on cases regarding adoption by gay couples.

    Socialized medicine has become the talk of the day. This is not only unfortunate. It is harmful and we have a responsibility to speak out. Socialized medicine has led to a drastic reduction in services and in quality of care in every nation it's been tried. The elderly and the infirm are always the hardest hit.

Statistical Deceptions - 0 views

    Last week on NPR a professor in the Sloan School of Management at MIT explained that what is really at stake in the health care bill is the US government's ability to borrow. In other words, the bill is about cutting health care costs, not about providing hard-pressed Americans with health care.

    Governor Dave has joined Colin Simpson in efforts to pass a sovereignty resolution during the next session of the Wyoming legislature in February. This resolution demands that the federal government stay within the limits of authority granted it in the constitution.

    That is, unless you change the actuarial assumptions in the budget - like life expectancy. Lowering immune systems and increasing toxicity levels combined with poor food, water and terrorizing stress will help do the trick. Review the history of vaccines rushed into production without proper testing and peer review - it is clear about the potential side effects. In addition, a plague can so frighten and help control people that they will accept the end of their current benefits (and the resulting implications to life expectancy) without objection. And a plague with proper planning can be highly profitable. Whatever the truth of what swine flu and related vaccines are, it can be used as a way to keep control in a situation that is quickly shifting out of control.
