Women and Children First

Woohoo! Mandatory vaccinations! Pregnant mothers and children to the front of the line! God, I'm so thankful to the government and pharmaceutical companies for looking out for everyone and keeping us safe. (sigh) Ok, fine, it sounds great and I'm really busy, but I guess I'll read the fine print...

“Some of the vaccine will be stored in multi-dose vials containing thimerosal, an antibacterial additive that contains mercury,” reports the Washington Post today in an article about which groups will receive the swine flu vaccine first.

“There will also be single-dose syringes without thimerosal, a substance that some assert is harmful to children,” adds the article, without mentioning whether or not people who take the vaccine will get a choice or even be informed if it contains mercury.

Mercury is classified by The Department of Defense as a hazardous material that could cause death if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and the EPA is now limiting mercury emissions from factories because the toxin “can damage the brain and nervous system and is especially dangerous to fetuses and small children,” but according to the CDC it’s perfectly safe to inject into your child’s bloodstream.

Some Oklahoma children will get a swine flu vaccine before it is available to the public. If clinical trials go well, the vaccine could be available in limited supplies by mid to late fall, experts said.

IPS Research in Oklahoma City is the first Oklahoma company to conduct the vaccination trials and will begin enrolling study patients Aug. 17, said IPS Research medical director Dr. Louise Thurman.

The trials will test the vaccine’s effectiveness and whether or not it has negative side effects in patients.

She anticipates about 200 children ages 3 to 8 will be able to enroll.

Nationwide, 12,000 children will be given the vaccine for the trial, she said. The company should know today whether it will conduct adult trials, too.

Pharmaceutical companies can be assured that they won’t face reprisals for the many thousands of injuries and deaths that will inevitably occur as a result of exposing millions to mercury and squalene during a mass vaccination program, because the government has already acted to provide them with blanket immunity from lawsuits.

“Vaccine makers and federal officials will be immune from lawsuits that result from any new swine flu vaccine, under a document signed by Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius,” reported the Associated Press earlier this month.


Is that all? For a second there I thought there might actually be another side of the story. Now we can all get on with doing what we're told without question...

Pretty cool...I just don't think being a cop automatically makes you a Hero. The idea that typical patrol units are hard to see in broad daylight is ridiculous, too. The people that run into them on the side of the highway would have hit them no matter what they were driving. You can't fix stupid.

Endangered Species

by judge sixkiller


What makes a species become endangered? Is it mostly due to one factor, or is it a combination of more than one? Are endangered or extinct species themselves at fault for their own predicament or demise? Surely not, at least when it comes to species other than humans.

It's been said that 95% of all species of living things in the history of life on Earth are extinct. It has also been said that the Earth is losing between 20 and 150 species every single day. Comforting, no? Well, maybe not all that uncomfortable for most of us, considering that, after all, it's not humans dropping like flies all over the planet. At least not yet.

What brings a species to the precipice of doom can vary from group to group and with different environments or habitats. Lack of food and water, dramatic temperature change, invasive species, disease, and destruction of habitat get the blame most of the time. On rare occasions, freak catastrophic events (like meteor strikes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc.) cause massive damage to large areas and the various living things that inhabit them. Some chalk it up to "natural selection", which is really just an all-inclusive title for a combination of events unforeseen by - and out of the control of - the affected species. Here, however, we come to the underlying difference between human beings and all other species of life that has ever lived: conscious awareness, unforeseen events, and the extent of influence and control of "endangering" factors.

The rainforests are the source of the widest array of species of plants, animals, and insects on the planet. Every day, the most highly developed of the three - the animals - forage or hunt for food, search for water, fight over and control territories, find mates, and raise their young, continuing the cycle and the lessons learned from their parents that has been passed from one generation to the next over the course of hundreds, even thousands years.

None of these animals, however, are consciously aware of the danger they are in from deforestation and human encroachment. On some basic level, they are aware that humans pose a threat, and so they avoid humans and teach their young to do the same. But they are not capable of understanding why, nor do they have the power to prevent humans from destroying the well-being of their kind or environments. They merely go on as they always have, focusing on the immediate, never able to contemplate what it all means, or if it will continue as it has for as long as they have been around.

Ah, but humans...

Humans are remarkable in the fact that despite being far advanced of plants, insects, and animals, great numbers of them choose, either consciously or subconsciously, to behave as the lower forms do. Humans focus on the immediate, on the convenience of what serves their wishes, hungers, and pleasures at a given moment. Humans do as they were taught, because that's how things are done, and because that's the way it has to be. Humans go to the store, to work, to school, to church, to games, bars, court, the gas station, the bank, the movie store, because, well, that's what they were taught, it's what they see other humans doing, so that's what they are supposed to do. What humans don't do for pleasure, they do for "necessity", regardless of whether or not they would find the same things "necessary" or even "pleasurable" if left to their own devices, out of the influence of money and modern society. They merely go on foraging (for food, shiny things, and little pieces of paper), making nests, and playing, hardly ever noticing that the environment in which they live and on which they depend is being transformed, even destroyed, by dangers that are not in the form of typical physical threats, like storms or hungry predators. Humans distance themselves from the thought that doing what everyone else does and doing what they have been taught does not guarantee the same way of life, or even the survival of their species.

Oddly enough, humans themselves are the cause of their own endangerment. War, pollution, nuclear and bio-weapons, theft, rape, and murder on an immensely grand scale threaten everything that they know. Surrounded by danger and enemies, humans seem desperate to belong to a system that would sooner bulldoze them into oblivion for profit than to lend a helping hand or fulfill any promises of protection. They have surrendered the gift of power over their own destinies in exchange for servitude and promises that they will be taken care of, with the condition that they do not question those and that which they serve. What does the future hold for human kind? Unless they elevate their consciousness above that of life forms that have no choice, then it is inevitably extinction.

All U.S. children should get seasonal flu shot: CDC

All U.S. children aged 6 months to 18 years should get a seasonal influenza vaccine every year, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday.

As reported here:

"The U.S. government has contracts with several drug companies to develop and produce swine flu vaccines. At least two of those companies, Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline, are using an adjuvant in their H1N1 vaccines."

The adjuvant? Squalene."

The negative effects of squalene have been noted since 1987 in terms of causing severe autoimmune diseases.

As reported here:

"Squalene "contributed to the cascade of reactions called "Gulf War syndrome. (GIs developed) arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS, Raynaud's phenomenon, Sjorgren's syndrome, chronic diarrhea, night sweats and low-grade fever."

"Matsumoto's book includes numerous case studies of GIs afflicted with one or more of the above syndromes, their devastating effects, and the outlandish US government reaction - failing to acknowledge their existence or a connection between them and administered vaccines. Also denying the effects of other toxic Gulf theater exposures (like depleted uranium) as well as withholding meaningful treatments or protocols."

Please share this info with everyone you know.

Editor's note: Mysteriously, "vaccines" for the H1N1 virus were manufactured before the "outbreak", which, coincidentally, was the first time this strain had ever been seen. The U.S. government has recently purchased 100,000,000 (yes, million) doses, "just in case".

Nothing soft survives the Bering Sea. A lone commercial fishing vessel takes the repeated pounding of 30-foot waves off the coast of Alaska that make the 200-foot boat’s steel hull seem like it’s made from plywood. A veritable floating fish-processing factory, it is the essence of efficiency with its workers putting in 20-hour shifts 7 days per week.

When the storm finally subsides, a group of workers attempt to negotiate a hockey rink that has glassed over the ship’s topside deck with ice and are instructed to bust off what looks like a glacier that has affi xed itself to the ship’s bow. The frozen waves are like granite, but 21-year-old Clay Guida is reminded that if he and his coworkers don’t hammer off the extra weight of the ice, the ship could sink.

Armed with a pickax, Guida reaches the bow with his mates and starts hammering. He is a long way from his hometown of Johnsburg, Ill. He is a long way from Colorado, where he was building houses for $10 an hour.

The last meal he ate was hours ago while sliding side to side in the mess hall, although nothing seems appetizing after standing ankle deep in fi sh guts all day and night. Sleep is a luxury. Five months at sea have hardened him, calloused his psyche out of necessity. Indeed, nothing soft survives the Bering Sea. done it a couple of times,” Guida says.

Beyond the glitz, glamour, and bravado of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Clay Guida remains humble and grounded, unaccustomed to fame. One almost expects him to show up at his fights with a lunch pail and thermos. He is a dues-paying member of his local laborer’s union -- hence his nickname, “The Carpenter.” He prides himself on his blue-collar background and takes it with him to the Octagon.

the new Memorial Day

by Judge Sixkiller


We have a holiday that is now seen as reason to celebrate beer, meat, and fireworks. We celebrate acts of celebration. What will happen when fireworks are made "illegal"? Alcohol? Meat? Unthinkable? For a lot of people, yes. Collectively, we have the attention span of, well, of something that doesn't remember things for very long.

On behalf of myself and those who may care, and perhaps those who may not, and for what it's worth, I would like to apologize to God, the Founding Fathers, and the children for what we have done and what we do to the gift that was given to us, "on this day", 1776.
