"I've fallen and I can't get up!"

November 2009 Comment: This is one of those pictures that truly IS worth a thousand words...

But a few questions remain. Was this a "fall" of an accidental nature, or has it simply been beaten and pinned fair and square? Or perhaps more to the point, does it even REALLY WANT to get up again? Despite Timothy Geithner's constant proclamations that a "strong dollar" is in our best interest, the prevailing policy seems to be not proactive in that regard but rather… Continue

Confessions Of An Economic Hitman - The Somali Pirates And How We Made Them

I read John Perkins book, Confessions Of An Economic Hitman last year. Here's a post by John, an adaptation from his latest book. He's an ex-Hitman. For the US Government. He used money to kill, not bullets.

The following is adapted from Hoodwinked: An Economic Hitman Reveals Why the World Financial Markets Imploded—and What We Need to Do to Remake Them. Random House, 2009.

Navy Seal snipers rescued an American cargo ship captain unharmed and killed three Somali pirates in… Continue

Nov 16th, 2009

So here I am vainly looking far afield for some news to satisfy my news addiction on a Sunday night. I find myself navigating to GNN.tv (Guerrilla News Network) which is one of the first truly alternative news sites that I frequented on the internet. It's not that I no longer frequent GNN but the news cycle can be a little long over… Continue

Palestinian Leaders Seek UN Endorsement of Statehood, Israel Threatens Unilateral Actions Against Palestine in Event of Statehood

by Jason Ditz, November 15, 2009

Frustrated by Israel’s hawkish government having declared the peace process dead several times in the past few months, Palestinian leaders say they are going to unilaterally ask the United Nations to endorse their independence based on pre-1967 borders.

In the 1967 Six Day War, Israel attacked Syria and Egypt, and when Jordan entered the war on the basis of a defense pact with Egypt it occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The… Continue

The Rationing Commission, Meet the unelected body that will dictate future medical decisions

As usual, the most dangerous parts of ObamaCare aren't receiving the scrutiny they deserve—and one of the least examined is a new commission to tell Congress how to control health spending. Democrats are quietly attempting to impose a "global budget" on Medicare, with radical implications for U.S. medicine.

Like most of Europe, the various health bills stipulate that Congress will arbitrarily decide how much to spend on health care for seniors every year—and then invest an unelected… Continue

A Message To President Obama and Attorney General Holder, from me

This post is in response to the short article found Right Here. If this offends anyone other than the addressees, well, sorry about that. I have no other place to post it and I'm oh, so tired.

Dear Mr. Obama and Mr. Holder,

I'm not going to address dead Iraqi's, dead Afghan's, dead Pakistani's or the genocide you're responsible for. I won't touch… Continue

'We have carried out post-mortem's on two victims and found their lungs are as black as charcoal. They look like they have been burned. It's terrifying.

In the age on Nano-robots, Playstation 3s and GM foods, we're stymied by the flu. Something doesn't make sense here.

British scientists are examining the strain of swine flu behind a deadly Ukrainian outbreak to see if the virus has mutated.

A total of 189 people have died and more than one million have been infected in the country.

Some doctors have likened the symptoms to those seen in many of the victims of the Spanish flu which caused… Continue

Malalai Joya Speaks To Obama.

Of course no one told her he doesn't give a shit about Afghans, Iraqi's, Pakistani's or anyone else in Southeast Asia or anyone in the United States for that matter, with the possible exception of the filthy rich. The only thing Obama cares about is where he'll rest his ass when his presidency is over.

As an Afghan woman who was elected to Parliament, I am in the United States to ask President Barack Obama to immediately end the occupation of my… Continue

Polish Minister of Health Rejects WHO sponsored H1N1 Vaccine

The Polish Health Minister Eva Kopacz today told Parliament during a heated debate on the swine flu vaccination that she, as a qualified family doctor with more than 20 year of experience, will not authorise the use of untested vaccines on millions of people in Poland when there is inadequate information about the safety of the jabs.

She said the secret contract that the Polish government was supposed to sign with pharmaceutical companies had more than 20… Continue

November 15, 2009

In the official record of the historic House debate on overhauling health care, the speeches of many lawmakers echo with similarities. Often, that was no accident.

Review of Abdul-Haq Al-Ani and Joanne Baker's book, Uranium in Iraq: the Poisonous Legacy of the Iraq Wars

by David MacGregor

Hegel remarks upon the appearance of “concrete evil” in history, the intermittent eruption of human malevolence on a colossal scale capable of destroying entire societies. Perpetrators of world-historical crimes are propelled solely by passion—by self-regard, greed and hatred—and pay no heed,… Continue

The Ukraine, Parainfluenza, H1N1 and a mutated virus? (Video)

I've been sick for almost 10 days. Although I have emphysema I haven't had any lung congestion. Just a nagging cold and an occasional headache. A royal pain in the butt. Glad I don't live in Ukraine.

Health Officials in Ukraine say the death toll from a suspected swine flu outbreak has reached 144. Almost a million people are thought to be infected, mostly in the west of the country.

As the death toll from respiratory diseases continues to rise,… Continue

What's Up With Unemployment?

Interview with Dr. Victor Bachinsky

by Anna Yashchenko

[Translated from Russian, first published in English by Infowars Ireland]

Based on autopsies, we have come to the conclusion: it’s not pneumonia, but cardiopulmonary insufficiency and cardiogenic shock … The virus enters directly into the lungs, there is bleeding … Antibiotics should not be used …

Why do we have such a high mortality rate in the country?

Because people are going to… Continue
