Nick Clegg defends bullying Guardian

by

Nick Clegg has defended his actions towards the Guardian newspaper.

The fact that the Guardian has copies outside the country has restored my faith…somewhat.  Why should they have to go to such great lengths to exercise Freedom of Speech?

Gah, as I thought about this story last night, images of the King’s soldiers coming in and smashing printing presses went through my head…if nothing else, it sure does hit home that nothing has changed and that Freedom of Speech needs to be fought for and protected for democracy to survive.

News of Egypt, Syria, Middle East

by

In Syria,  appears there have been several chemical attacks on civilians, according to this. 

The video is hard to watch.  Good God.  They’ve got oxygen masks on them, but I would think that water is more suited to flushing the poison out of their systems?  What kind of monster would do this?

~~~~~~~

EU’s response to the crisis in Egypt.

Meanwhile, a court orders the release of Hosni Mubarak.  (!!)  Color me confused.

The report states this is likely to add fuel to the fire in Egypt already, so I’m at a loss to understand the thinking behind it.

 

 

Following the mercury trail…

by

Here is an excellent piece on solving the mercury mystery….it’s not really that hard if one looks for it.  But that would require work and persistence…

This passage really struck home to me:

He was only 44 years old. The cause of death, according to the ASA account, was lupus erythermatosis, an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks its own healthy tissue. According to his death certificate, as mentioned above, his brother, Ritchey, died of multiple myeloma — a cancer of the immune system, formed by malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow.

~~~~~~~~

Mercury/heavy metals cause autoimmune diseases.  They also cause cancer.   I mean, they actually use nickel in labs to give rats cancer! These are well known, but rarely looked at by the medical profession…why??

Too much profit in providing medical care?? Too much profit for Big Pharma??

If you think not, just remember the story by Gary Null about the hospital in Washington state that first entertained the idea of liquid zinc helping women suffering from anorexia/bulimia…when the doc who discovered the connection was asked to speak before the hospital staff, the bean counters pulled the administrators aside and remarked that if a simple thing like liquid zinc could bring results in a week or so, what would happen to their $$$ profits on the eating disorders clinic…??  Yep.

As Shirley Chisholm said, “When profits come up against morality, it’s rare that profits lose.”

James O’Keefe at it again? **edited

by

This *cough* surfer guy sure does resemble James O’Keefe—the guy who brought down ACORN with his pimp impersonation and who also tampered with Mary Landrieu’s phone system.

This hit piece is just another Reagan-Cadillac-driving-welfare-queen smear to incite hatred towards food stamp recipients.  There is no waaaay someone on food stamps could survive buying lobster and other expensive grocery items in this video.  When his $200 is gone…it’s gone.

One would have to buy chicken, beans, rice, etc., to survive.  And fruits and vegetables to stay healthy.  But again, this video sneakily ignores that…

God these people are evil.

The Guardian hard drives destroyed

by

When I first began reading this, I wondered how the agents got into the basement….shocked doesn’t begin to describe how I felt when I read that the Guardian’s editor allowed them to destroy the hard drives. Wow.  Just wow.

I never thought I’d see the day that the Guardian caved.  They threatened legal action?  Are you serious?  You caved because of threatened legal action?  Or was the threat something more sinister?

Detroit Unions Fighting Back

by

Good for them.

Make Orr lay the evidence that Detroit is insolvent out there.  Make him negotiate in good faith, with everyone taking a hit, not just the unions.

…and a thought just occurred to me…if a person owes a bank money, say, for a car, and doesn’t pay…then the bank takes possession of the car, correct?  So…if the city of Detroit owes the union workers money…wouldn’t they then…ahem…take over the running of the city…?  Hell, they couldn’t do any worse…

I tried looking up the Idaho bankruptcy mentioned in the article, but could only find articles talking about the bankruptcy–not their successfully challenging it.

 

Lies Rahm told us…

by

Fred Klonsky has a post up on a building that Chicago Public Schools had previously designated for destruction.

The public protested.

They promised it would not be torn down, and would be converted to a library.

Bulldozers have arrived on the scene.

So much for promises…

If you read the comment, it brought to mind the movie “The Monuments Men” by George Clooney and Grant Heslov….in it, he states the Nazis wanted to destroy the artwork and other stuff to destroy the culture…as if it never existed.  I gotta say, it rings true for what is happening now….

Protestors banned from oil exploration site

by

First Nations protestors were banned from interfering with oil exploration on a land reserve.  They consider it sacred ground and they were not consulted by leadership before the leaders gave their approval.  It’s stunning that the tribe brought charges before the court against their own.

What I would like to know is….if it is a land reserve, what the hell are oil companies doing there in the first place…?  It’s a land reserve! 

Just keep tearing up the Earth and polluting it until there is nothing left….small minds.
