The last report issued in 2013 by the Department of Justice (Vaccine Court), for compensation made by the Health and Human Services for people injured or killed by vaccines, was released in December 2013, covering the period of 8/16/2013 through 11/15/2013. The report is available as a Power Point presentation here.

There were 139 claims settled during this time period, with 70 of them being compensated. So, just over 50% of the claims filed for vaccine damages were compensated during this period.   Continue reading “Flu Vaccine is the most Dangerous Vaccine in the U. S. based on Settled Cases for Injuries”

Riverside, OH — In the state of Ohio, it is unlawful for police to demand your identification unless the officer reasonably suspects you are committing, have committed, or are about to commit a criminal offense or if you witnessed a party committing a felony. It is not a violation of the law to refuse to identify yourself if you do not meet the above criteria. The scenario below shows the chaos and violence that can happen when a person feels this reasonable suspicion has not been articulated.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Riverside police officers responded to a report of domestic violence. When the officers arrived on the scene, they approached a man they believed to be involved in the incident. However, as he was not charged with domestic violence, it appears from the court records that they had the wrong man.   Continue reading “Cop Tries To Taser Man for Refusing to Give ID, Tasers Fellow Cop Instead”

WARNING: The video below contains disturbing images of the argument and shooting of Curtis Shelley in Killeen, Texas. Several family members, including the victim’s grandmother and father, gave permission for this video to be republished.

Killeen, TX — Disturbing video of a murder in Killeen, Texas was published earlier this month by the family of the victim as they seek justice for their son who was murdered in broad daylight. Two weeks ago, the family took the video to the media in an effort to seek justice for Curtis E. Shelley after police refused to arrest his killer. Now, the Free Thought Project has learned that the killer was brought in for questions and despite the graphic video, was let go with no charges.

Normalization—the mainstreaming of people and ideas previously banished from public life for good reason—has become the operative description of a massive societal shift toward something awful. Whether it’s puff pieces on neo-Nazis in major national newspapers or elected leaders who are also documented sexual predators, a good deal of work goes into making the previously unthinkable seem mundane or appealing.

I try not to imagine too often where these things might lead, but one previously unthinkable scenario, the openly public mass surveillance apparatus of George Orwell’s 1984 has pretty much arrived, and has been thoroughly normalized and become both mundane and appealing. Networked cameras and microphones are installed throughout millions of homes, and millions of us carry them with us wherever we go. The twist is that we are the ones who installed them.   Continue reading “George Orwell Predicted Cameras Would Watch Us in Our Homes; He Never Imagined We’d Gladly Buy and Install Them Ourselves”

The College Fix – by Drew Van Voorhis

Some San Diego State University students are undergoing what organizers acknowledge is a “disturbing” series of “sensory experiences” in an attempt to drive out students’ prejudicial tendencies and help make them less oppressive.

The annual workshop, “Journey to a Shared Humanity,” is described on the university’s website as a way for organizers to get students to “step outside their comfort zone and into the shoes of those who are struggling with oppressive circumstances.”   Continue reading “Students undergo ‘disturbing sensory experiences’ to drive out prejudice”

A disturbing police bodycam video recently resurfaced showing a gay couple in Kentucky verbally assaulted and arrested in their home in the middle of the night. The pair had allegedly called the Graves County Sheriff’s Department too many times.

The footage, which appeared online in early November but only gained public attention three weeks later is worthy of a gripping crime thriller full of suspense. It shows a group of officers arresting two men, Billy Hamilton and Patric Rodriguez, in their own home on February 22, 2017.   Continue reading “‘Sh*t apple redneck’: Video shows Kentucky cops assaulting gay couple at their home”
