As the issue of more and more illegal aliens crossing the border from the south continues, the health concerns heat up as well.  Government is calling it a “humanitarian crisis”.   It is so much more than that.  It is a national danger to the health and lives of American citizens.  Immigrants who came to Ellis Island when our nation was young were subjected to specific procedures before being let into the country.  If they were sick they were forced to remain on Ellis Island until they were cleared.   Now the flood gates are open and anyone is allowed to come into our country with no control.  These people are being bussed and flown into cities all over the nation.    Reports of holding facilities having quarantine areas gives little comfort to the citizens of America.  We are in danger. Because of the danger I decided that I needed to write this blog to share the strategies you can take to protect yourself and your family or those you care about.  My goal is to empower you to take control for yourself so that you will not rely on a medical system that is letting us down on a regular basis.   Continue reading “Illegals bring dangerous disease to the U.S.”

It was a tally of 6-2 in favor of the resolution that states that city staff and agencies must decline federal requests or demands to set up any facility to house, process, or detain illegal immigrants.

Vatican City, Jul 9, 2014 / 06:44 am (CNA/EWTN News).- During a recent event discussing the origin and implementation of European hate-speech laws, lawyers argued that the “ill-conceived” laws pose a danger to free speech and often stifle constructive dialogue.

“While human rights provisions are meant to limit the reach of the state and empower citizens, hate speech laws do just the opposite – and that is why they are a tool of totalitarianism and not free democracies,” Alliance Defending Freedom’s legal advocate Paul Coleman stated in a July 4 speech.

The American Conservate – by Richard Gamble

At the end of the First World War, iconoclastic American journalist Randolph Bourne famously warned, “War is the health of the state.” He had witnessed the unprecedented expansion of national power in the heat of war mobilization. Twenty years ago, political scientist Bruce D. Porter likewise argued, “States make war, but war also makes states.” For the losers, of course, unsuccessful war destroys states, but the hundred years since the outbreak of the Great War in 1914 ought to make the symbiosis between warfare and Leviathan obvious.   Continue reading “Was World War I the Last Crusade?”

Environmental groups on Tuesday called out the state of California for illegally pushing new agricultural uses for certain pesticides despite mounting evidence that they are devastating honeybee populations.

A suit (pdf) filed by Earthjustice charges that the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) is “rubber-stamping” the approval of new pesticides, particularly neonicotinoids or neonics, “without first complying with laws enacted to ensure that they are safe.”   Continue reading “California Charged with ‘Rubber-Stamping’ Pesticides Linked to Bee Deaths”

As my readers know, I’ve assembled a wide-ranging case against psychiatry.

It isn’t a science. It isn’t even close. It’s a hoax.

The bible of the profession, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM), lists some 300 separate and distinct mental disorders.

However, none of the 300 has a defining physical test for diagnosis. No blood test, no urine test, no hair test, no brain scan, no genetic assay.   Continue reading “Another giant nail in the coffin of psychiatry”

A ‘powerful elite’ of at least 20 prominent establishment figures formed a VIP paedophile ring that abused children for decades, a whistleblower claimed today.

Peter McKelvie – the former child protection officer who first raised the alarm about high profile individuals engaged in child sex abuse – said senior politicians, military figures and even people linked to the Royal Family are among the alleged abusers.   Continue reading “‘Powerful elite’ of at least 20 establishment figures may have been part of paedophile ring that abused children for decades”

A government scientist cleaning out an old storage room at a research center near Washington made a startling discovery last week – decades-old vials of smallpox packed away and forgotten in a cardboard box.

The six glass vials of freeze-dried virus were intact and sealed with melted glass, and the virus might have been dead, officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.   Continue reading “Forgotten smallpox vials found in cardboard box at Maryland laboratory”

Egypt’s surging budget deficit has hit its limit and the Oil Ministry has decided to cut its $20bn plus fuel subsidies. The result – mainstream fuel prices by up to 78% from midnight on Friday. As Reuters reports, previous governments have failed to curb energy product subsidies, fearing backlash from a public used to cheap fuel. We will wait and see the response but as one analyst noted “It should be noted that the effect of a rise in fuel prices will not affect the poor directly, since they do not own cars…” which makes perfect sense as long as the poor do not use or purchase any item that has fuel in its supply chain – brilliant! The government hopes the fuel subsidy cut will raise 40 billion pounds.   Continue reading “Egypt Raises Fuel Prices 78% Overnight”

Spain on Friday said it would introduce a blanket taxation rate of 0.03 percent on all bank account deposits, in a move aimed at harmonising regional tax regimes and generating revenues for the country’s cash-strapped autonomous communities.

The regulation, which could bring around 400 million euros ($546 million) to the state coffers based on total deposits worth 1.4 trillion euros, had been tipped as a possible sweetener for the regions days after tough deficit limits for this year and next were set by the central government.   Continue reading “Spain says to charge tax of 0.03 percent on bank deposits”

After her 7-year-old daughter, Liza, was diagnosed with an aggressive and generally fatal kind of brain tumor in 2011, Jennifer Scherr decided to treat the cancer with cannabis oil. At the time marijuana was not legal for medical use in Illinois, although a law authorizing a pilot program took effect this year. Scherr’s father-in-law, Curtis Scherr, a Chicago police officer, nevertheless agreed to help her grow marijuana in the hope of prolonging his granddaughter’s life. He obtained the high-intensity light bulbs Jennifer needed and stopped by the house periodically to check on the grow operation. But about a week after Liza died in July 2012, Curtis ratted out her grieving mother, filing a search warrant application in which he reported having seen 50 marijuana plants in Jennifer’s basement. A state judge issued a warrant, which a dozen or so DEA agents used to search Jennifer’s house on July 19. They did not find any contraband, since Jennifer had discarded the plants after Liza’s death.   Continue reading “Cop Rats Out His Daughter-in-Law After Helping Her Grow Marijuana for His Cancer-Stricken Granddaughter”

CHICAGO—Highlighting increasingly dangerous conditions within the city, a new study published Monday by Northwestern University’s Department of Environmental Studies revealed that approximately 75 percent of the air in Chicago is now composed of bullets.

“Far exceeding the levels of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and even oxygen, bullets now constitute three-fourths of Chicago’s air supply,” said atmospheric scientist and study coauthor John Molina, stressing that the dense and widespread deposits of jacketed lead and copper in the air pose severe and potentially fatal health risks to all Chicago residents.   Continue reading “Environmental Study Finds Air In Chicago Now 75% Bullets”
