Another Child Given Swine Flu Vaccine Without Consent

Health authorities flagrantly disregarding refusal of consent in pursuit of mass vaccination mandate

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Thursday, October 29, 2009

A boy in Ohio has received the swine flu vaccine despite the fact that his mother clearly refused consent for her child to be inoculated, in another example of how health authorities are blatantly disregarding the wishes of parents in the pursuit of a mass vaccination mandate.

In a statement directed to the U.S. House of Representatives, President Obama and its membership, Veterans For Peace urged its chapters to demonstrate opposition to the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan …. no one — NO one, but us is going to stop the killing; neither the President nor the Congress. We can beseech them, ask them, demand from them that they stop the killing and bring all the troops home. But until we exert the power of massive resistance to the Empire that only we can exert, it will keep rolling over Afghanis, Iraqis, Pakistanis and whoever else that is in its way...

Guantanamo laureate

National Review
by Victor Davis Hanson

10/28/09

Candidate Obama often sounded as if he had always assumed that Bush first created Guantanamo as a monument to his Constitution-shredding paranoia, and only later filled it with largely innocent prisoners. At one point Obama offered his Senate office to help lawyers sue on behalf of Guantanamo prisoners. But as President Obama has discovered — just as he has dropped his campaign talk of ending renditions, tribunals, wiretaps, and intercepts, and of rapidly withdrawing from Iraq — Guantanamo is a bad choice among a number of worse ones...

Obama's Real Death Panels

By Ted Rall

No one man--not even a young, handsome, likeable one--should be able to have anyone he wants whacked. Even in dictatorships, the right of life and death is reserved for judges and juries operating under a system purportedly designed to support impartiality and a search for the truth.

After railing against Senators and Representatives for their cowardly, uninformed, and unacceptable attempts to prevent President Obama from bringing any Guantanamo prisoner to the U.S. mainland for any reason — even for trials — which I wrote about most recently in an article entitled ‘Dick Cheney’s Pawns On Guantanamo,’ I’m delighted to report that, last Tuesday, the Senate finally saw sense, voting, 79 to 19, as part of a $42.8 billion bill for Homeland Security, to accept that the administration can bring prisoners to the U.S. mainland to face trials...

The American Prospect
by Tim Fernholz

10/28/09

Amid last fall’s financial chaos, executives from Wachovia, at the time the fourth-largest commercial bank in the country, had bad news for their regulators: They were broke. Federal officials deliberated and decided Wachovia was so important to the economy that the government had to save it. It was only the latest in a series of financial institutions that regulators had deemed ‘too big to fail.’ In the preceding months, the government had bailed out Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Bear Stearns, and Congress had passed the controversial $700 billion bill to fund yet more financial-sector rescues. Some of the institutions, like the insurance company American International Group (AIG), weren’t even banks...

Although President Barack Obama has more empathy for the opinions of the Islamic world than his predecessor and seems to vaguely understand that they do affect U.S. security, he doesn’t seem to understand specifically that U.S. meddling in and occupation of Muslim countries inflames Islamic radicals and is the main cause of blowback anti-U.S. Islamist terrorism. In Afghanistan, Obama has already thrown in more troops and will probably be goaded by the military and conservatives into further escalation. This despite a timeline that appears to indicate that the insurgency grows as a reaction to increased foreign presence in the country...

Seventy-one percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday morning believe the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee is not qualified to be president, with 29 percent saying she does have the credentials to serve in the White House.

Lieberman Twists the Knife

Is there a more hypocritical figure in American politics than Joe Lieberman?

Olympia Snowe-because it might cost money.

TARP on Steroids

David Sirota, Truthout: "I recall that September day like it was yesterday - the explosion so stunning, so memorable. It wasn't 9/11/01, it was 9/29/08 - a moment when a rare blast of populist democracy briefly singed the economic terrorists who hold the Capitol hostage. It had been a dark and stormy month of financial collapse, culminating in an attempted power grab. Pushed by his fellow Wall Street Ponzi schemers, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson - a former Goldman Sachs CEO - was threatening Armageddon unless Congress ratified his pamphlet-sized decree for a no-strings-attached bank bailout. The straightforward proposal, backed by President George W. Bush and President-to-be Barack Obama, would have turned Paulson into King Henry - a despot allowed to autonomously dole out $700 billion to any of his business cronies."

Carrying signs proclaiming ‘Hold Wall Street accountable’ and ‘Foreclosures ruin communities,’ they demanded an end to massive bonuses for the bankers who they say helped bring on the financial crisis and credit crunch which dragged the United States into the deepest recession since the Great Depression. Organized by a coalition of union and community organizations, the protesters called on the bankers to stop lobbying against financial reform and to invest the trillions they received in government bailouts to stem the tide of foreclosures and invest in businesses which will help kickstart the economy...

Fed up

Reason
by Brian Doherty

For the first time in [US Representative Ron] Paul’s long career of tilting at Alan Greenspan’s windmills, popular sentiment against the Federal Reserve has its chairman, currently Ben Bernanke, running scared. Last summer Bernanke launched an unprecedented public relations campaign, explaining himself in venues from 60 Minutes to town-hall-style meetings broadcast on PBS. In July testimony to the House Committee on Financial Services, Bernanke warned that H.R. 1207 would damage global trust in the Fed’s political independence and ‘could raise fears about future inflation, leading to higher long-term interest rates and reduced economic and financial stability.’ Paul, after shepherding his idea from fringe to mainstream, is almost giddy. ‘Now the Federal Reserve is less popular than the IRS!’ the congressman told a July gathering of Young Americans for Liberty in Washington, D.C. ‘This issue is never going to go away. Who would have thought a politician could talk about Austrian economics and get applause?’ (for publication 11/09)

With the economy in shambles, people are looking for answers — not just because of lost savings on Wall Street, but because of lost houses on Main Street. Because of the many problems we face, the Federal Reserve and its powers over the economy have come under scrutiny...

Bombs will go off in Baghdad (whether the US is there or not)

CounterPunch
by Patrick Cockburn

10/27/09

The savage suicide bombings in the heart of Baghdad yesterday show how far the violence in Iraq is from being over. It is as if those who order these bombings know that they only have to repeat these atrocities every couple of months to destabilize the country. … There is no need to imagine that the slaughter in Haifa Street yesterday was because American troops withdrew from the cities of Iraq three months ago.

Rhetoric and Reality

I just received a letter from President Obama. Right there on the outside envelope are the words "I need you." After not answering several letters which I have mailed and faxed to him, I was, for the briefest of moments, curious about this personal plea for help.

However, we need not go back over ancient history. We are concerned primarily with what has been going on in our own generations.

It should come as no surprise when a Monsanto product poisons the earth and our food. Our planet has never recovered from the forty-year Monsanto-led PCB contamination that was banned in the U.S. in 1977. To this day environmental PCBs continue to degrade into highly toxic furans and dioxins, wreaking all manner of human health problem.
