Meet Mikey, 8: U.S. Has Him on Watch List



 


Published: January 13, 2010
The Transportation Security Administration, under scrutiny after last month’s bombing attempt, has on its Web site a “mythbuster” that tries to reassure the public.
Skip to next paragraph
Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times
Michael Hicks, 8, a Cub Scout in Clifton, N.J., has the same name as a suspicious person.

 

Myth: The No-Fly list includes an 8-year-old boy.
Buster: No 8-year-old is on a T.S.A. watch list.
“Meet Mikey Hicks,” said Najlah Feanny Hicks, introducing her 8-year-old son, a New Jersey Cub Scout and frequent traveler who has seldom boarded a plane without a hassle because he shares the name of a suspicious person. “It’s not a myth.”
Michael Winston Hicks’s mother initially sensed trouble when he was a baby and she could not get a seat for him on their flight to Florida at an airport kiosk; airline officials explained that his name “was on the list,” she recalled.
The first time he was patted down, at Newark Liberty International Airport, Mikey was 2. He cried.
After years of long delays and waits for supervisors at every airport ticket counter, this year’s vacation to the Bahamas badly shook up the family. Mikey was frisked on the way there, then more aggressively on the way home.
“Up your arms, down your arms, up your crotch — someone is patting your 8-year-old down like he’s a criminal,” Mrs. Hicks recounted. “A terrorist can blow his underwear up and they don’t catch him. But my 8-year-old can’t walk through security without being frisked.”
It is true that Mikey is not on the federal government’s “no-fly” list, which includes about 2,500 people, less than 10 percent of them from the United States. But his name appears to be among some 13,500 on the larger “selectee” list, which sets off a high level of security screening.
At some point, someone named Michael Hicks made the Department of Homeland Security suspicious, and little Mikey is still paying the price. (His father, also named Michael Hicks, was stopped for the first time on the Bahamas trip.)
Both lists are maintained by the Terrorist Screening Center, which includes the Federal Bureau of Investigation. They are given to the Transportation Security Administration, which in turn sends them to the airlines.
A spokesman for the T.S.A., James Fotenos, said that as a rule, “there are no children on the no-fly or selectee lists,” but would not comment on Mikey’s situation specifically.
For every person on the lists, hundreds of others may get caught up simply because they share the same name; a quick scan through a national phone directory unearthed 1,600 Michael Hickses. Over the past three years, 81,793 frustrated travelers have formally asked that they be struck from the watch list through the Department of Homeland Security; more than 25,000 of their cases are still pending. Others have taken more drastic measures.
Mario Labbé, a frequent-flying Canadian record-company executive, started having problems at airports shortly after Sept. 11, 2001, with lengthy delays at checkpoints and mysterious questions about Japan. By 2005, he stopped flying to the United States from Canada, instead meeting American clients in France. Then a forced rerouting to Miami in 2008 led to six hours of questions.
“What’s the name of your mother? Your father? When were you last in Japan?” Mr. Labbé recalled being asked. “Always the same questions in different order. And sometimes, it’s quite aggressive, not funny at all.”
Fed up, in the summer of 2008, he changed his name to François Mario Labbé. The problem vanished.
Several Web sites, including the T.S.A.’s own blog, are rife with tales of misidentification and strategies for solving them. Some travelers purposely misspell their own names when buying tickets, apparently enough to fool the system. Even the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy once found himself on a list.
“We can’t just throw a bunch of names on these lists and call it security,” said Representative William J. Pascrell Jr., a New Jersey Democrat. “If we can’t get an 8-year-old off the list, the whole list becomes suspect.”
Mr. Fotenos, the T.S.A. spokesman, promised improvements in a few months, as the agency’s Secure Flight Program takes full effect. Under the new system, airlines will collect every passenger’s birth date and gender, along with their names. The T.S.A. will cross-check all that with the watch lists. Previously, the airlines cross-checked the lists themselves, using only the names.
Certainly, Mikey’s date of birth, less than a month before 9/11, should prevent him from being mistaken as a terrorist.
A third grader at a parochial school in Clifton, N.J., Mikey recites the drill like the world-weary traveler he is. Leave early for the airport, always with his passport. Try to get a boarding pass at the counter. This will send up a flag. The ticket agent, peering down at tiny bespectacled Mikey, will apologize or roll her eyes, and call for a supervisor. The supervisor, after a phone call — or, more likely, a series of phone calls — will ultimately finagle him onto the plane. But the Hickses are typically the last to select seats and the last to board, which means they sometimes can’t sit together.
Mrs. Hicks, a photojournalist who herself got Secret Service clearance to travel aboard Air Force II with then-Vice President Al Gore, anticipated additional chaos following the attempted underwear bombing. Before leaving for the Bahamas on Jan. 2, she reached out to Congressman Pascrell’s office, which then enlisted a T.S.A. agent to meet the family at the airport. Even this did not prevent Mikey from an extra pat-down.
On the way home last Friday, Mikey’s boarding pass showed four giant red S’s at the airport in Nassau. “Oh, random screening,” Mrs. Hicks said. Mikey asked his mother not to worry and said he would use his tae kwon do — he has a junior black belt — if needed. Mrs. Hicks said she wanted to take pictures of her son being frisked but was told it was against the rules.
Mikey, who would rather talk about BMX bikes and his athletic trophies than airport security, remains perplexed about the “list” and the hurdles he must clear. “Why do they think a kid is a terrorist?” Mikey asked his mother at one point during the interview.
Mrs. Hicks said the family was amused by the mistake at first. But that amusement quickly turned to annoyance and anger. It should not take seven years to correct the problem, Mrs. Hicks said. She applied for redress in December when she first heard about the Department of Homeland Security’s program.
“I understand the need for security,” she added. “But this is ridiculous. It’s quite clear that he is 8 years old, and while he may have terroristic tendencies at home, he does not have those on a plane.”

Emergency responders investigate possible Virginia Ebola case

 

WASHINGTON Thu Feb 26, 2015 1:28pm EST        


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Medics, firefighters and a hazardous materials team investigated a possible case of the deadly Ebola virus in a Virginia suburb of Washington on Thursday, an official said.

Emergency crews transported a patient from an apartment in the Clarendon section of Arlington County to Virginia Hospital Center using Ebola precautions, said Lieutenant Sarah-Maria Marchegiani of the county's fire department.
Marchegiani said the patient had recently traveled to a country affected by Ebola and exhibited symptoms of the disease.
The patient was unlikely to be suffering from the disease, Marchegiani said.
Nearly 10,000 people have died from Ebola in the West African nations of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, the three countries hit hardest by the outbreak.
At least 10 people are known to have been treated for Ebola in the United States, and two people are known to have contracted the virus in the United States.
Calls to the hospital were not immediately returned.

Say ‘Lawyer’ All You Want Motherf****r”: Detainees from Chicago’s Police “Black Site” Speak Out


"I got no food and no water, and it was hot as hell. I couldn’t sleep and was hungry as hell"
"Say ‘Lawyer’ All You Want Motherf****r”: Detainees from Chicago’s Police “Black Site” Speak Out

It was discovered this week that the Chicago Police Department has been operating a secret “black site” facility on the city’s west side.
Inside a warehouse, Homan Square has long been the home to secretive police work. Attorneys as well as protesters, tell a tale of being systematically being denied their constitutional rights while being held.
In an eye-opening report, the Guardian blew the top right off of Pandora’s box, leaving the CPD and their media spin factory backpedaling.
Up until now, if you mentioned that the Chicago police took you to some unmarked warehouse and held you captive with no due process, people would think you were nuts. For this reason, all those who’ve been held in this repugnant secret prison, have been voiceless — until now.
The very night we reported on the Guardian’s discovery, we were contacted by one of CPD’s victims. He was held in this torturous black site not only without due process, but without food and water as well. Another victim of Chicago’s terrorist apparatus took to Reddit to voice his experience of being inside. In his post, the man who wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, spoke out about his experience inside. He was brought to Homan Square after six heavily armed police officers kicked in his door and kidnapped him for being in possession of a plant that is legal in other parts of the country. He talks about only asking for his lawyer and not talking about anything else. He explains how this led to the staff of Homan Square replying, “you can say lawyer all you want motherf****r, you won’t see one until tomorrow.” The anonymous poster goes on to say, “I want to state that I was not tortured, but I did hear another man in the room next to me screaming in pain asking to go to the bathroom and for water.” The Reddit user’s description of the facility is exactly like the one given to us by a man who we’ll identify as Roger. Roger contacted us Tuesday night after our report on Homan Square went out. His story is similar to the Reddit poster’s story, but it is far more ominous. Roger tells us that he was in his father’s house when a swat team burst in to serve a search warrant. During the raid, one of the officers threw a flashbang grenade right by Roger’s son. According to Roger, police claimed that a “John Doe” had tipped them off that there were drugs and guns in the house. After searching the residence and finding no drugs nor guns, they took Roger’s father’s $6,000 tax refund which he had a receipt for. They also took Roger. Roger explained to the Free Thought Project how he felt on the way to Homan Square. “So they start driving down Roosevelt, they turn on to Kedzie and right onto South Homan. Then, I’m fearing, like what is this? ‘Take me to Area 4. I don’t belong here,’” Roger told the police. Area 4 is the actual police station, but police didn’t want Roger at an actual police station. They wanted to shake him down first — off the record. Roger told us about the “FBI and SWAT tanks on the 1st floor” that he saw as they brought him up to the now infamous second floor. “All the way to the right is where they take people in because they got cages on the second floor. The first floor is where the SWAT and FBI tanks are,” Roger recalls. “I was held for 24 hours,” Roger said, “My people couldn’t find me because I wasn’t in jail.” “They kept bringing in pics of old friends of mine asking questions. But I kept to myself. I got no food and no water, and it was hot as hell. I couldn’t sleep and was hungry as hell,” Roger tells the Free Thought Project. The next day Roger was finally taken to Area Four where he was booked on a possession charge and released. He told us that during the escapade, police put drugs in his pants pocket. Since the story of Homan Square broke, many local news stations have been downplaying the reality of this site’s existence. But their spin doesn’t change anything. Homan Square lets the Chicago police detain people, interrogate them, deprive them of food and water, torture them, or worse; all before a single record is created. If the individual gets injured or dies while in police custody, it’s entirely unaccounted for. The very existence of such a place is indeed a threat to every free person in this country

Socialism Behind “Net Neutrality” FCC Internet Takeover

 

FCC's proposed "net neutrality" rules grew out of the work of socialists
Socialism Behind "Net Neutrality" FCC Internet Takeover

The FCC’s proposed “Net Neutrality” regulations grew out of the work of a socialist professor who wants to take control of the Internet out of private hands by declaring it a “public utility.”
The professor, Dr. Robert McChesney of the University of Illinois, founded the socialist thinktank Free Press in 2002, which receives funding from billionaire activist George Soros.
“At the moment, the battle over network neutrality is not to completely eliminate the telephone and cable companies, but the ultimate goal is to get rid of the media capitalists in the phone and cable companies and to divest them from control,” he told the website SocialistProject in 2009.
Here’s some more quotes from McChesney revealing the FCC’s true agenda:
“What we want to have in the U.S. and in every society is an Internet that is not private property, but a public utility. We want an Internet where you don’t have to have a password and that you don’t pay a penny to use. It is your right to use the Internet.”
(Media Capitalism, the State and 21st Century Media Democracy Struggles: An Interview with Robert McChesney – The Bullet Socialist Project, August 9, 2009)
“Advertising is the voice of capital. We need to do whatever we can to limit capitalist propaganda, regulate it, minimize it, and perhaps even eliminate it. The fight against hyper-commercialism becomes especially pronounced in the era of digital communications.”
(Media Capitalism, the State, and 21st Century Media Democracy Struggles: An Interview with Robert McChesney – The Bullet Socialist Project, September 8, 2009)
“Our job is to make media reform part of our broader struggle for democracy, social justice, and, dare we say it, socialism. It is impossible to conceive of a better world with a media system that remains under the thumb of Wall Street and Madison Avenue, under the thumb of the owning class.”
(Journalism, Democracy, … and Class Struggle – Monthly Review, November 2000)
“There is no real answer (to the U.S. economic crisis) but to remove brick by brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles.”
(A New New Deal under Obama? (with John Bellamy Foster) – Monthly Review, December 21, 2008)
“Only government can implement policies and subsidies to provide an institutional framework for quality journalism.”
(The Death and Life of Great American Newspapers – Nation, March 18, 2009)
McChesney’s managing director at Free Press, Craig Aaron, had this to say:
“We need a law that says, no matter what kind of network you’re on—wired, wireless, I forget, there’s some other network coming in the future—that net neutrality applies.”
(Interview with Robert McChesney – Media Matters Public Radio show, March 22, 2009)
And McChesney’s former policy director at Free Press, Ben Scott, also said:
“Increasingly the Internet is no longer a commercial service, it’s an infrastructure…What we’re witnessing at the FCC now is the logical next step which is we are going to create a regulatory framework for the Internet which recognizes it is an infrastructure now and not a commercial service.”
(C-SPAN: The Communicators – C-Span, September 25, 2009)
Free Press has welded extraordinary influence over the Obama administration for the past several years.
“[Former FCC Chairman Julius] Genachowski’s press secretary at the FCC, Jen Howard, used to handle media relations at Free Press,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “The FCC’s [former] chief diversity officer, Mark Lloyd, co-authored a Free Press report calling for regulation of political talk radio.”
Lloyd’s report, entitled The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio, advocated draconian measures to limit free speech on AM and FM stations under the guise of “balanced radio programming,” i.e. a fairness doctrine.
“While progressive talk is making inroads on commercial stations, conservative talk continues to be pushed out over the airwaves in greater multiples of hours than progressive talk is broadcast,” the report stated, oversimplifying politics into a false left/right paradigm. “These empirical findings may not be surprising given general impressions about the format, but they are stark and raise serious questions about whether the companies licensed to broadcast over the public airwaves are serving the listening needs of all Americans.”
The FCC wants to similarly restrict political free speech on the Internet.

The New Madrid Earthquake That Will Divide The United States In Half


 

The New Madrid Earthquake That Will Divide The United States In Half

Michael Snyder

Once upon a time, North America almost divided along a very deep subsurface rift.  Today, that rift system and the faults associated with it are known as the New Madrid fault zone.  This fault zone is six times larger than the San Andreas fault zone in California and it covers portions of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi.
Back in 1811 and 1812, four of the largest earthquakes in U.S. history struck that area of the country.  The movement of the ground was so powerful that it changed the course of the Mississippi River and it rang church bells in Boston, Massachusetts.  So could such an earthquake (or worse) strike today?
Well, last year the U.S. Geological Survey released a report that warned that the New Madrid fault zone has the "potential for larger and more powerful quakes than previously thought," and the USGS also admits that the number of significant earthquakes in the middle part of the country has more than quintupled in recent years.  We also know that the U.S. government and large corporations are so concerned about the potential for a major New Madrid earthquake that they have held major exercises that simulate one.
Scientists tell us that it is just a matter of time until another superquake hits the region, and personally I am one of the millions of Americans that believe that we will eventually see a New Madrid earthquake that will divide the United States in half.  That is one of the reasons why I included a New Madrid earthquake in my novel.  But others are skeptical.  They point out that we have not seen a truly devastating earthquake in that region for more than 200 years.  So why be concerned about one now?


What everyone can agree on is that there is an area of significant geological weakness under the New Madrid fault zone.  This area of weakness formed when the continents were breaking up.  The rift that formed did not end up splitting the North American continent at that time, but the area of weakness remains.  The following comes from Wikipedia
The faults responsible for the New Madrid Seismic Zone are embedded in a subsurface geological feature known as the Reelfoot Rift that formed during the breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia in the Neoproterozoic Era (about 750 million years ago). The resulting rift system failed to split the continent, but has remained as an aulacogen (a scar or zone of weakness) deep underground, and its ancient faults appear to have made the Earth’s crust in the New Madrid area mechanically weaker than much of the rest of North America.
This relative weakness is important, because it would allow the relatively small east-west compressive forces associated with the continuing continental drift of the North American plate to reactivate old faults around New Madrid, making the area unusually prone to earthquakes in spite of it being far from the nearest tectonic plate boundary.
And indeed, there have been some awesome earthquakes in this region throughout history.
Back in 1811 and 1812, there were four earthquakes along the New Madrid fault zone there were so immensely powerful that they are still talked about today.
Those earthquakes opened deep fissures in the ground, caused the Mississippi River to run backwards, and were reportedly felt more than 1,000 miles away.  It is said that the stench of fire and brimstone hung in the air for months afterwards.
The most powerful of this series of quakes was on December 16th, 1811.  The following is one description of what happened on that day…
This powerful earthquake was felt widely over the entire eastern United States. People were awakened by the shaking in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Charleston, S.C. Perceptible ground shaking was in the range of one to three minutes depending upon the observer’s location. The ground motions were described as “most alarming and frightening” in places like Nashville, Tenn., and Louisville, Ky. Reports also describe houses and other structures being severely shaken, with many chimneys knocked down. In the epicentral area the ground surface was described as being in great convulsion, with sand and water ejected tens of feet into the air — a process called liquefaction.
But there have also been others times throughout history when we have seen a major earthquake along the New Madrid fault.
For example, according to scientists there is evidence of other superquakes in the distant past
Geological evidence indicates that two such super-earthquakes happened twice in the past 1,200 years: the first some time between 800 and 1000 A.D., and the second between 1300 and 1600 A.D.
And now earthquake activity in the central portion of the nation is increasing again.
As I noted above, the USGS says that the frequency of earthquakes in the central and eastern portions of the United States has more than quintupled in recent years.  And the USGS has now gone so far as to point out the relationship between human activity and the increase in earthquakes.  The following comes from an article done by the U.S. Geological Survey
The number of earthquakes has increased dramatically over the past few years within the central and eastern United States. Nearly 450 earthquakes magnitude 3.0 and larger occurred in the four years from 2010-2013, over 100 per year on average, compared with an average rate of 20 earthquakes per year observed from 1970-2000.
This increase in earthquakes prompts two important questions: Are they natural, or man-made? And what should be done in the future as we address the causes and consequences of these events to reduce associated risks? USGS scientists have been analyzing the changes in the rate of earthquakes as well as the likely causes, and they have some answers.
USGS scientists have found that at some locations the increase in seismicity coincides with the injection of wastewater in deep disposal wells. Much of this wastewater is a byproduct of oil and gas production and is routinely disposed of by injection into wells specifically designed for this purpose.
So what would happen if a major earthquake did strike the New Madrid fault zone?
This is something that scientists have studied.  If a magnitude 7.7 earthquake hit the region today, thousands would die, hundreds of thousands of buildings would be damaged, and the economic losses would be measured in the hundreds of billions of dollars.  The following comes from Wikipedia
In October 2009, a team composed of University of Illinois and Virginia Tech researchers headed by Amr S. Elnashai, funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), considered a scenario where all three segments of the New Madrid fault ruptured simultaneously with a total earthquake magnitude of 7.7. The report found that there would be significant damage in the eight states studied – Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee – with the probability of additional damage in states farther from the NMSZ. Tennessee, Arkansas, and Missouri would be most severely impacted, and the cities of Memphis, Tennessee and St. Louis, Missouri would be severely damaged. The report estimated 86,000 casualties, including 3,500 fatalities; 715,000 damaged buildings; and 7.2 million people displaced, with 2 million of those seeking shelter, primarily due to the lack of utility services. Direct economic losses, according to the report, would be at least $300 billion.
But remember, that study only considered a magnitude 7.7 earthquake.
If we had an earthquake of magnitude 8 or magnitude 9, we could be talking about an earthquake many, many times more powerful.
It is also important to note that there are 15 nuclear reactors along the New Madrid fault zone.  In the event of a major New Madrid earthquake, we could be looking at Fukushima times 15.
Of course most Americans are completely oblivious to all of this.  In fact, most Americans don’t even know what the New Madrid fault zone is or where it is located.
But there are people in the government that are very aware of this threat.  In fact, the federal government considered it important enough to hold a major five day simulation known as “National Level Exercise 11"  just a few years ago…
In May, the federal government simulated an earthquake so massive, it killed 100,000 Midwesterners instantly, and forced more than 7 million people out of their homes.
At the time, National Level Exercise 11 went largely unnoticed; the scenario seemed too far-fetched — states like Illinois and Missouri are in the middle of a tectonic plate, not at the edge of one. A major quake happens there once every several generations.
[…]
National Level Exercise 11, or NLE 11, was, in essence, a replay of a disaster that happened 200 years earlier. On Dec. 16, 1811, a magnitude 7.7 earthquake hit the New Madrid fault line, which lies on the border region of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. It’s by far the largest earthquake ever to strike the United States east of the Rockies. Up to 129,000 square kilometers [50,000 square miles] were hit with “raised or sunken lands, fissures, sinks, sand blows, and large landslides,” according to the U.S. Geological Service. “Huge waves on the Mississippi River overwhelmed many boats and washed others high onto the shore. High banks caved and collapsed into the river; sand bars and points of islands gave way; whole islands disappeared.” People as far away as New York City were awakened by the shaking.
More quakes, of a similar size, followed. But the loss of life was minimal: Not too many people lived in the area at the time. Today, there are more than 15 million people living in the quake zone. If a similar quake hit, “7.2 million people could be displaced, with 2 million seeking temporary shelter” in the first three days, FEMA Associate Adminsitrator William Carwile told a Congressional panel in 2010. “Direct economic losses for the eight states could total nearly $300 billion, while indirect losses at least twice that amount.”
And major corporations are also concerned about what could happen.
For example, in a previous article I noted that Wal-Mart had “participated in an exercise” that simulated a major earthquake in the New Madrid fault zone…
Buried in a Wall Street Journal article from about a week ago was a startling piece of information.  According to a Wal-Mart executive, Wal-Mart “participated in an exercise to prepare for an earthquake on the New Madrid fault line” earlier this summer.
Nobody knows when it is going to happen.
But this is a real threat.
And if we do see a magnitude 9.0 earthquake or greater, we could be talking about a continent changing event.
So what do you think about the possibility of a major earthquake in the New Madrid fault zone?

Top Feminist Calls For ‘Collectivist Revolution’

 

"American individualism is dead" says founder of organization backed by UN
Top Feminist Calls For 'Collectivist Revolution'
by Paul Joseph Watson | February 19, 2015

Top feminist and writer of The Vagina Monologues Eve Ensler recently gave a speech at an event in New York City in which she brazenly revealed the true agenda behind third wave feminism – a “collectivist revolution” driven by the notion that, “American individualism is dead”.
Ensler is the founder of One Billion Rising, a United Nations-backed organization that seeks to “end rape and sexual violence against women”.
During an event on February 7 called the One Billion Rising Revolution, Ensler outlined how she was spearheading a socialist revolution aimed at dismantling capitalism and replacing individualism with collectivism.
“For me the revolution is the evolution of the new system. It’s refusing to accept this story as the given. I read the other day that the Koch brothers — who I believe could be the single two people who might unite all our issues as they are against unions, minimum wage, women, black folks, the earth — have designed their whole program to destroy collectivism. They are investing millions and millions and dollars in candidates, colleges, elections, cultural centers, think tanks to openly and without shame to destroy the WE.”
“So my revolution is to stand firmly in the WE, to say what happens to you matters as much as what happens to me, to say your struggle is my struggle, to say tonight American individualism is dead and global solidarity is alive and on the rise.”
Ensler’s vow to kill American individualism once again reveals the true motive behind radical feminism, an authoritarian attack on true freedom and an evisceration of the moral worth of the individual and true classical liberalism, with is diametrically opposed to the tenets of collectivism.
According to Kristinn Taylor, in calling for a collectivist revolution, Ensler revealed the true nature of what she and other top feminists are pushing for, a “communist cult recruitment campaign” which is using the One Billion Rising organization as a front group.
In addition, Ensler’s refusal to draw attention to how Islam treats women as second class citizens (she also decried “Islamophobia” during her speech), is at complete odds with her organization’s mission of ending rape and sexual violence against women.
As we have exhaustively documented, Europe is currently plagued by a Muslim rape epidemic that feminists refuse to even address over fears of being labeled politically incorrect.
From the United Kingdom, to Sweden, to Denmark, to Norway, rape convictions are skyrocketing with the culprits predominantly comprising of Muslim immigrants. The media and governments in these countries have overseen a cover-up of the scandal in order to protect ‘multicultural’ sensitivities.
Feminists’ refusal to acknowledge this huge scandal illustrates how the movement has nothing to do with protecting women against rape and abuse and everything to do with social engineering and the advancement of fringe leftist political dogmas.

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio wants Congress to permanently extend the National Security Agency's massive spying programs, including its controversial dragnet collection of domestic phone records.

In a Fox News op-ed post Tuesday, the Florida Republican – who's mulling a possible run for the White House in 2016 – blasted President Barack Obama's counterterrorism policies, and warned the nation is ignoring the "fundamental lessons of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001."

"The threat from Islamic extremism is only growing and without greater leadership from the United States, I fear that it will only be a matter of time before innocent Americans pay the ultimate price if we continue to underestimate our enemies and not develop a strategy that is commensurate to the threat," he writes.

He writes one critical tool that should not be curtailed is the "gathering capabilities that have been legally and painstakingly established following those horrific attacks."

Rubio calls on Congress to permanently reauthorize core provisions of the post-9/11 USA Patriot Act, which are due to sunset June 1, the National Journal notes.

"This year, a new Republican majority in both houses of Congress will have to extend current authorities under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and I urge my colleagues to consider a permanent extension of the counterterrorism tools our intelligence community relies on to keep the American people safe," Rubio writes.

He also suggests tech companies shouldn't create impossible-to-crack standards for mobile devices and digital services – echoing concerns of both Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director James Clapper, the National Journal reports.

"The U.S. government should implore American technology companies to cooperate with authorities so that we can better track terrorist activity and monitor terrorist communications as we face the increasing challenge of homegrown terrorists radicalized by little more than what they see on the Internet," Rubio writes.

Rubio has repeatedly defended
the NSA's spy programs, including in the wake of the attacks in Paris at a magazine and kosher deli that left 17 dead earlier this month.

But his op-ed also sets him apart from Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul, both of whom also have an eye on a presidential bid.

Cruz was one of only four Republicans to join with Democrats in November in voting to pass the USA Freedom Act, a bill that would have reformed several aspects of the NSA spying regime and would have barred the government from mass surveillance of Americans' phone records, the National Journal notes.

Paul has vowed to work to block the Patriot Act's reauthorization entirely this year, the National Journal reports.

The First AI War Is Coming

Join us Thursday, Feb. 19 for a live interview with Dr. Hugo de Garis on the Alex Jones Radio Show. We’ll explore the possibility/inevitability of Artilects and the Artilect War and the ethical issues that apply to all scientists and engineers whether they work on AI or work for the military-industrial complex.
Much has been written about Ray Kurzweil’s prediction of “The Singularity” where advances in artificial intelligence (AI), genetics, robotics, and nanotechnology would allow man to merge with machines, with the resulting god-like cyborgs living forever.
The 2009 documentary Transcendent Man introduced the concept to the public.
Kurzweil’s accomplishments as inventor and futurist, as well as his current position as a director of engineering at Google, has given the idea credibility in scientific and academic circles.

Google seems to be following Kurzweil’s vision of the future as it has been rapidly acquiring the most promising robotics and AI companies. While many scientists agree with Kurzweil’s premise that technology is accelerating and will soon run away exponentially, many also disagree with his utopian conclusion. Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking and others have been publicly expressing concerns that runaway AI may create a dystopian future, perhaps even the extinction of the human race. Respected AI researcher Hugo de Garis, who ran the Artificial Brain Lab at Xiamen University until his retirement in late 2010, is decidedly in the dystopian camp. He has referred to the “Singularity Institute” as the “Singhilarity Institute.” Nevertheless, he firmly believes that artificial brains will be built and that artificial intelligence will achieve consciousness (as Skynet became “self-aware” in the Terminator films). In his 2005 book, The Artilect War, Cosmists vs. Terrans, de Garis believes that as the visibility of AI and robotics increases in society, the masses will have the same concerns that Elon Musk and others have about the possible dystopian consequences. At that point he envisions society breaking down into two camps, the Cosmists and the Terrans:
The Cosmists will be fighting for the creation of artilect gods. It will be like a religion to them. They will aim at creating artilects who can then move out into the cosmos (which is why I coined the term Cosmist), be immortal, massively intelligent, unlimited memory, change their architecture in milliseconds, change their form, find other advanced civilizations in the universe etc. The Terrans will be fighting for the preservation of the dominance of the human species, so that there is zero risk that humanity gets wiped out by advanced artilects. They will argue that it is the lesser evil that a few million Cosmists be killed so that billions of humans can survive.
He calls the resulting conflict the Artilect War and says:
Imagine getting in a time machine and telling the gay (18)90s Europeans of the horrors of trench warfare in WW1, due to the invention of the machine gun, shells, and gas. We are talking about 21st century weapons, with a killing power that could put the casualty rate into the billions (gigadeath).
Even though de Garis believes that AI will produce godlike, intelligent machines (that he calls Artilects) and will result in the extinction of the human species, he is still drawn to the challenge.

GMOs invade fruit industry: Apples, pears, cherries and peaches to all become unlabeled GMO

 

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) Genetically modified apples have been approved by the industry-corrupted USDA, a federal regulator that accomplishes for the biotech industry the same thing the FDA achieves for Big Pharma: unlimited profits, lax regulation and a ready willingness to accept fabricated "science" as fact.

"The USDA's environmental review received 73,000 comments that overwhelmingly opposed the commercialization of Arctic Apples," explains a press release from Food & Water Watch. [1]

The GMO apple that just received approval was developed by the Okanagan Specialty Fruits company, which says it "...married the best of nature with the best of science."

The road to Hell, of course, is paved with the best of intentions, and that's the problem with all these GMOs: Modern science is rolling the dice with a self-replicating "genetic pollution" scenario that could play out in ways that no scientist ever anticipated. As the Food & Water Watch press release explains:

The USDA has neglected to look at the full range of risks from these apples. In its environmental assessment, the USDA glossed over the possibility of unintentional effects associated with the technology used to engineer these apples, potential economic impacts on the U.S. and international apple market, effects of potential contamination for non-GMO and organic apple growers and the impact of the non-browning gene silencing which also can weaken plant defenses and plant health.

In addition to genetically modified apples, the Okanagan Specialty Fruits company also promises to roll out genetically modified peaches, cherries and pears. [3]

Suppression of the PPO gene may lead to less nutritious fruits

To achieve its GMO apples, the Okanagan fruit company has developed a way to reduce the natural browning of apples that takes place after they are sliced. This is accomplished by genetically suppressing the polyphenol oxidase (PPO) gene.

What's wrong with playing around with the PPO gene? Suppressing this gene may have unintended consequences such as reducing the fruit's nutritional polyphenols (natural medicinal compounds). Thus, this genetic alteration of the apple might strip from the apple many of its health-promoting qualities. Yes, the apple would still physically resemble a normal, natural apple, but it would be genetically lacking the very thing that has long contributed to the truism, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."

But an apple from Okanagan might keep the nutrients away, feeding you what I call "shadow food" that looks like real food but is lacking the nutrients of real food.

I'm not talking about macronutrients like magnesium, calcium, fiber and sugars. Those will all be present in identical quantities: I'm talking about the medicinal phytochemicals such as the very polyphenols that give apples some measure of medicinal value.

Read about medicinal polyphenols at this Life Extension web page which explains the valuable medicinal roles of apple polyphenols such as phloridzin.

This page on WHfoods.com also covers many of the apple's polyphenol nutrients, revealing their anti-cancer, anti-diabetes and anti-heart disease properties.

Food & Water Watch adds:

The particular gene targeted by this technology allows the apples to be sliced without turning brown, which could mislead consumers into thinking they are eating fresh apples when they might be eating apples on the verge of rotting. Browning is an important indicator to consumers in determining the freshness of an apple or apple slice. The silenced gene is also heavily involved in a plant's natural defense against pests and pathogens, which could lead to trees that are less healthy than non-GMO apples and rely on more chemical treatments to ward off pests and disease.

It's not difficult to see that if the genetic modification of fruits is allowed to invade the food supply with pears, cherries, oranges, bananas, peaches and more, we may end up with a fruit industry feeding Americans "shadow foods" that look misleadingly healthy when they really aren't.

Deceptive foods from a deceptive industry

GMO food is, of course, a blatant deception. But that's because the foods themselves tend to reflect the deep-rooted philosophy of deception that characterizes nearly all the corporations and trolls that pimp for the biotech industry.

The biotech industry is run by -- and advocated by -- some of the most criminal-minded liars who have ever disgraced the name of "science" in human history: people like sociopathic liar and biotech front man Jon Entine, whose own wife begged the courts to put him under psychiatric evaluation after he tried to choke her in front of their daughter (see court documents here).

Entine was dropped by Forbes.com yesterday, by the way, after Natural News revealed how Forbes.com was giving a voice to a pro-GMO liar and hired character assassin who called Consumer Reports "radical" for listing genetically modified ingredients. (Entine once wrote in Forbes.com that I was a "danger to society" whose laboratory didn't really exist and whose online store was selling "dangerous products" even though we are the only online store I know of with our own in-house heavy metals lab. To its credit, Forbes.com quickly retracted the false story after realizing it was totally fabricated.)

Part 5: http://www.naturalnews.com/047685_Jon_Entine...

Will this apple company resort to the same shameless tactics of slander, defamation and character assassination used by the U.S. biotech industry?

It's too early to tell whether the Okanagan Specialty Fruits company is going to attempt the same sort of despicable tactics against health-conscious consumers, reporters and health advocates, but the company's founder, Neal Carter, insists biotechnology is "the next frontier." He also claims, in utter ignorance of an extraordinary amount of scientific research on GMOs and glyphosate, that "There is no scientific evidence that the risks associated with biotechnology are any greater than those of traditional methods of breeding and selection." [2]

Yawn. It sounds like the same sort of denialist drivel you'd find on Wikipedia, a disinfo hub dominated by editorial trolls on the payroll of biotech and pharma companies whose job is to trash the reputations of truth-telling journalists, bloggers and authors.

Neal Carter has already stated he is opposed to honest labeling of his company's apples as GMO. According to the New York Times, "Mr. Carter said apples would be labeled as Arctic, with links to the company's website, so consumers could figure out that the fruit was engineered. But he said that labeling the fruit as genetically modified would only be 'demonizing' it." [4]

In other words, Carter is already opposed to the honest GMO labeling of his genetically modified fruits. He only wants to label the GMO apples "Arctic," and then claim that the brand name is enough because people can go online and do their own research to find out the apples are genetically modified. The rationalization of all this is patently absurd. The word "Arctic" does not mean "GMO" in the minds of consumers. Not yet, anyway.

The fact that all these biotech people think they're saviors to the food industry -- yet they refuse to support consumer choice through honest labeling -- further demonstrates the ethical lapses that are almost universal in biotech today. Then again, you really have to be a horrible person in the first place to profit from creating the risk of runaway genetic pollution that might theoretically damage all the world's fruits crops in unforeseeable ways.

That's the moniker of biotech: No risk to Mother Nature over the next century is too large to make another buck today.

U.S. apple industry to suffer as a result of non-labeled GMO apples

The refusal to label genetically modified apples in a clear manner will, of course, damage consumer trust in ALL apples.

The U.S. Apple Association has already begun to side with the GMO industry. As the New York Times reports:

"That clear identification of the Arctic brand will help consumers make clear, informed choices if Okanagan apples do become available in stores in a few years," Wendy Brannen, director of consumer health and public relations for the U.S. Apple Association, said in an email.

That's only a half-truth, of course. The clear identification of the Arctic brand is not at all a clear indication of GMO status. Once news of GMO apples begins to spread, many consumers will not be aware of (or not remember) which brand is GMO, so they will simply shun all apples and choose some other fruit instead.

If I were a non-GMO apple producer, I'd be pretty worried about the market consequences of a non-labeled genetically modified apple entering the marketplace, potentially ruining the reputation of all apples.

Word of GMO apples will spread like wildfire across food-conscious consumers, of course. It is the unlabeled GMO status that has largely ruined the reputation of soy and canola oil over the last few years, and food companies experiencing the most growth are those who are openly touting Non-GMO Project Verified status and sourcing non-GMO ingredients.

If the word "apple" raises a big question mark in the minds of consumers, then you're going to see plummeting sales of:

* fresh apples
* apple sauce
* apple juice
* apple pies
* apple snacks

The only way to prevent this from happening is to require honest GMO labeling of all foods so that consumers can make an informed choice. With honest labeling, you restore a free market approach that allows consumers to support the companies they wish to promote.

That's why all efforts to block GMO labeling are anti-choice, anti-free-market and anti-consumer rights.

GMO apples at least won't be "Roundup-Ready"

The Okanagan GMO apples aren't in the same category of toxicity as Roundup-ready crops which are heavily sprayed with glyphosate, an herbicide chemical with a strong correlation linking it to thyroid cancer, diabetes, renal disease, urinary cancer and even autism:



Learn more details about the health dangers of glyphosate in this MIT presentation (PDF)

http://www.naturalnews.com/files/Oahu2015.pd...

Instead of being Roundup-ready, the Okanagan GMO apples have a genetic modification that prevents the apple from turning brown after it's sliced. It's far too early to tell if this will present a long-term health problem, a nutritional deficiency problem or an environmental problem that could even threaten the apple industry as a whole. But the risks exist.

For example, what if the gene modification used by Okanagan turns out to create an unintended disease vulnerability that makes the apples more susceptible to some unforeseen orchard blight? And what if this genetic property spreads from the Okanagan apple orchards to other orchards? Will the Okanagan company compensate other non-GMO apple orchards for their crop losses? Or will the company do what Monsanto did and sue the victim farmers by claiming they "stole the intellectual property" of Monsanto via genetic pollution?

I'll stick with Mother Nature's apples, thank you very much

In my view, Mother Nature did a great job with apples already. We don't need profit-driven, shortsighted corporations mucking around with the genetic code of these natural gifts and putting the ecosystem at risk as a result.

Selective breeding is a safe, natural way to improve apple varieties, and it doesn't require bizarre cross-species genetic modifications that may present unknown risks to the food supply, human health and the ecosystem. If anyone wants to improve fruit species, just use selective breeding.

This is also why I'm giving away my own design for a revolutionary non-electric food production system called the Food Rising Mini-Farm Grow Box. In just 10 days, I'll be posting DIY videos showing you how to build your own grow boxes, and I'll have downloadable 3D parts that you can print on your own 3D printer. This technology will allow people to grow their own honest food at home, with very little effort and at very little cost. Learn more at www.FoodRising.org

Finally, if these corporations are going to produce genetically modified fruits, they should at least have the honesty to label them as GMOs. Instead, they all want to hide the truth from consumers, denying them the information they need to make an informed choice.

No wonder nearly every informed person on the planet despises the biotech industry and its relentless food deceptions. The entire biotech industry wants to profit from Frankenfoods while making absolutely sure consumers don't have the information needed to make an informed choice about what they're really buying or eating.

BACKFIRE: How the vaccine industry lost the propaganda war, alienated the public and stirred up suspicion of the entire medical profession

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) The vaccine establishment has a horrible conundrum. It desperately wants everyone to voluntarily buy its for-profit vaccine products, but it has failed to convince everyone that its products are safe and effective... or even necessary in many cases.

The problem is made even worse by the fact that the products themselves really aren't as safe and effective as we've all been told. Flu shots still contain mercury, a neurotoxic heavy metal. Some vaccine inserts still admit they are backed by no clinical trials. The U.S. government really has quietly paid out nearly $3 billion in compensation awards to families of children who were irrefutably damaged by vaccines. A top CDC scientist really did confess to taking part in scientific fraud at the CDC, covering up data linking vaccines to autism.

These facts are irrefutable. So the strategy of the vaccine industry -- and its obedient media fanatics who have utterly forgotten what it means to ask an intelligent question -- has been to withhold this information from patients.

The thinking is that if patients can be isolated from the truth that vaccines aren't as safe and effective as they've been told, then they might be easily manipulated into buying them. Above all, withholding accurate information from the public would at the very least prevent people from asking uncomfortable questions about vaccines... questions that might lead to catastrophic disclosures for the vaccine industry (such as scientists testifying before Congress about research fraud).

Under the iron fist of corporate-run vaccine fanaticism, the questioning of medical dogma cannot be allowed. So the strategy remains one of "reality control" by attempting to aggressively manipulate all the information the public sees and hears about vaccines in order to construct a false reality that only the more illiterate members of public really believe.

A blatant violation of A.M.A. code of ethics

This very tactic is, according to the American Medical Association, a gross violation of fundamental medical ethics.

"Informed consent is a basic policy in both ethics and law that physicians must honor," the A.M.A. says on its Code of Ethics page.

This statement is also found in the AMA's published book, Code of Medical Ethics, on the bottom half of page 269.



It goes on to explain:

The patient's right of self-decision can be effectively exercised only if the patient possesses enough information to enable an informed choice. The patient should make his or her own determination about treatment. The physician's obligation is to present the medical facts accurately to the patient or to the individual responsible for the patient's care and to make recommendations for management in accordance with good medical practice.



The vaccine industry, however, cannot achieve obedient compliance if it allows patients to be fully informed. Informed consent, it turns out, is the enemy of vaccine propaganda which stands as the world's most outrageous example of distorted, one-sided medical propaganda waged as a psychological warfare operation against the American people.

Even though denying patients access to important information about risks vs. benefits of vaccines is a fundamental violation of patients' rights, virtually the entire medical profession does it anyway. Vaccine insert sheets containing disclosure language -- side effects, vaccine ingredients, contraindications, etc. -- are almost never given to vaccine recipients. Doctors who are given airtime on television never talk about any vaccine risks whatsoever, even though such risks are quite real.

The pharma-corrupted medical profession in America today, it turns out, has become very comfortable with knowingly lying by omission. This has become an accepted practice even though it clearly violates the American Medical Association's own code of ethics.

When lying doesn't work, coercion becomes the next desperate tactic of an institution that respects no ethics or boundaries whatsoever

Unfortunately for the vaccine industry, even lying through omission has not achieved the desired effect. Frustratingly for the industry, many parents are learning the truth about vaccine risks, vaccine ingredients, vaccine side effects and vaccine injuries through non-official sources which cannot be controlled by corporations and governments, such as www.Vactruth.com www.VaccineImpact.com www.TheRefusers.com www.FearlessParent.org and many more.

As a result of being informed from non-corporate-controlled sources, more and more parents are making actual informed decisions about vaccines which often lead to either the delay of vaccination schedules or the rejection of some vaccines outright.

This angers the vaccine industry to no end. They cannot understand why medical sheeple who have been aggressively brainwashed, lied to, manipulated and defrauded still have the will to resist the Big Lie of "safe and effective vaccines." Vaccine manufacturers have desperately tried to discredit all the "anti-vaxxer" voices by deploying expensive negative P.R. troll companies, but there are just too many voices of truth to silence (and the negative P.R. often backfires).

Even worse, the more vaccines are pushed, the more vaccine-damaged children emerge, and even parents who have been repeatedly brainwashed, indoctrinated, intimidated and misdirected by the sellout national media aren't so stupid that they can't see when their children are severely harmed following vaccinations.

So, predictably, the vaccine institution is now resorting to its last option. The "nuclear option," you might say: Coercion.

Coercion

Coercion means forcing you to undergo a medical intervention against your will. This is, by definition, the very nature of all mandatory vaccination programs.

Medicine by coercion is not merely a gross violation of the American Medical Association's published code of ethics, it's also a violation of the Geneva Convention.

Article 7 of the 1966 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, signed into agreement by the United Nations, states, "[N]o one shall be subjected without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation."

Every flu shot is, of course, a medical experiment. They are not tested in clinical trials before being released to the public. That's precisely why many flu shots completely miss the mark and fail to provide protection against the actual viral strains of the flu circulating in the wild.

Forcing someone to get a flu shot against their will is an international crime under the Geneva Convention as well as a violation of medical ethics, established federal law and basic human dignity. Yet it is being loudly and fanatically called for by the entire mainstream media and whatever doctors they can round up who will promote the Big Lie during live news broadcasts. Those news broadcasts are always and predictably biased wholly in favor of vaccine propaganda while ludicrously blaming anti-vaxxers for the failures of the vaccines themselves.

The fact that these medical experiments and forced medical interventions violate human rights, international law, domestic law and medical ethical codes does not bother anyone pushing vaccines today. The very idea of "medical ethics" doesn't even cross their minds. Ethics are not necessary, they imply, when justifying mass mandatory vaccination campaigns that are claimed to be conducted in the public good.

A medical profession that abandons ethics in one area can never be trusted in any area

Through this logic, the medical profession can justify any actions it wants and abandon all ethics in the name of "public good." Any public health problem at all -- tuberculosis, the flu, etc. -- can be wildly exaggerated by the media and made into a scare campaign that justifies the medical profession's outright abandonment of medical ethics. If the government needs to force you to do something medical -- even at gunpoint, against your will -- it's okay with all the doctors because they believe the government owns your body.

Of course, Ebola is the big exception to all this. No one who might be infected with Ebola can ever be quarantined, the CDC and White House vigorously argued a few months ago, because that might "violate their medical freedom." So Nurse Hickox, a former CDC intelligence operative, was allowed to go free even though she had a high likelihood of carrying a deadly disease with no vaccine at all: Ebola.

But children in America who carry no disease at all must be strictly quarantined, denied a public education, denied doctor visits and often seized by the state, even when they aren't infected with anything. That's the new logic of the medical profession in America, where logic and rationality have now been utterly replaced by screaming, the verbal abuse of patients and the ludicrous name-calling of "anti-vaxxers" who are ridiculously and repeatedly accused of somehow believing the Earth is flat.

These are the desperate tactics of an industry that has lost the propaganda war. When the censorship fails, the propaganda fails and the disinfo fails, they now resort to coercion, public shaming of innocent victims and wild name-calling under the banner of "science!"

A.M.A. says withholding information will undermine "public trust in the health care profession"

The American Medical Association is fully aware that lying to patients in order to demand their vaccine obedience only destroys public trust in the entire medical profession. And it should. The tactics used by doctors today are despicable, if not outright criminal violations of international law as discussed above.

In a document the A.M.A. warns cannot be cited by anyone without "written permission from the A.M.A.", the organization warns about the disastrous consequences of the medical profession losing the public trust:

Withholding pertinent medical information from patients without their knowledge or consent may also have negative long-term consequences for the medical profession. The patient-physician relationship is founded upon trust, because patients must rely upon their physicians to provide the information needed to make a properly informed decision. Lack of candid disclosure can compromise this relationship if patients suspect (or later discover) that information is being withheld from them. Thus, individual physicians' purportedly benevolent acts of deception risk undermining not only individuals, but also public confidence and trust in the medical profession.

Thus, while the massive media propaganda campaign is supposed to be targeting only "anti-vaxxers" and intimidating them into getting vaccines, what it's really doing is sowing widespread distrust in the medical profession among the public at large.

After all, even people who agree with vaccine fanatics are also smart enough to realize the following: If we allow the government to force this intervention on us all, what happens when the government rolls out another intervention that we disagree with?

The very idea of handing the government-medical fascism establishment total control over your medical choice is troubling... even to those who voluntary agree to be vaccinated. After all, the entire "Pro Choice" argument of abortion advocates is built on the foundation that a woman owns her own body and can therefore decide what to do with it.

Astonishingly, it is largely the pro-choice people on the left who are the most fanatical about vaccine mandates, proving that they really don't believe in "choice" in the first place. They believe in abortion, not medical choice. Because when a mom's medical choice is anti-vaccine, suddenly the abortion supporters are calling for the government to take control of that woman's body (or the bodies of her children) and force them all to be injected against their will.

So much for "choice."

As even the rabidly pro-vaccine Washington Post now points out, all this vaccine screaming by the mainstream media "...also decreased trust in doctors. This suggests a very troubling implication: media coverage of the controversy about the measles vaccine could actually affect the general public beyond the very small anti-vax community."

In other words, what's really happening is that media coverage on vaccines is causing many people who never questioned vaccines to start wondering about vaccines from a new perspective. Mainstream media vaccine coverage also drives enormous traffic to alternative news sites covering the vaccine hysteria, whereas if vaccine weren't being mentioned in the mainstream media, most people wouldn't be paying any attention to the topic at all.

Truly, the more the mainstream media talks about vaccines, the more they cause people to question the "official" propaganda.

It's all BACKFIRING, in other words.

As Dr. Wakefield recently explained in an interview with Alex Jones:

If you have a vaccination policy in this country which mandates, which takes your children away, which puts you at gunpoint, which puts parents in prison for not vaccinating, that is not built upon public trust or confidence; that is a disaster. And public health policy, vaccination policy, requires the confidence of the public, and they have lost it.

They have lost it, indeed. More and more people are losing trust in the criminally run pharma medical establishment every single day. All the bribery of doctors, science research fraud, vaccine hysteria, cancer industry lies and pharmaceutical malfeasance keeps coming out, it seems, and people are becoming exceedingly aware that nearly everything Big Pharma and the CDC tells us is a flat-out lie.

How do you know when the CDC is lying? When their lips are moving, the saying goes. And nobody hammers the CDC against the wall better than Jon Rappoport at www.NoMoreFakeNews.com

It's a simple concept: Any medicine that worked so well would never have to be administered at gunpoint

The simple truth of the matter is that the more the mainstream media tries to intimidate and coerce the public into giving up their medical freedom and surrendering their fundamental human right of free choice, the more the People lose trust in both the media and the medical profession.

After all, if vaccines are really so great and safe and effective, they wouldn't have to be administered at gunpoint, would they?

Once medicine marches down the path of claiming it alone has the authority to decide what medical interventions must be forced upon your body, it has already lost the public trust.

As Dr. Wakefield further explains in the video interview linked above:

This is a do-or-die moment. It's absolutely crucial in the history of this country and, indeed, the world, of who prevails. Who do your children actually belong to? And if we do not get William Thompson before a congressional series of committees, that unearth the precise nature and extent of the fraud at the CDC... if we do not do that, and if we lose this battle, your children, you, will be owned by the pharmaceutical industry, and your children and your children's children. And they are simply a marketplace for those companies. They are quantified in terms of vaccination for every birth and how much revenue they will generate for the pharmaceutical industry in a mandated program for which there is no real recourse to any kind of compensational litigation if your children are harmed.

So they want to take away your rights as to whether your children should be vaccinated or not according to your decision, but if your child is harmed -- and vaccines are, according to the Supreme Court, "unavoidably unsafe" -- then you are left to pick up the pieces. And that is the system that we face, and at the end of it is a massive profit for the pharmaceutical industry.
