In a 5 to 4 vote, the US Supreme Court has absolved pharmaceutical companies, and over 80 percent of all drugs prescribed in the US, of legal liability for a long list of ill deeds including fraud, mislabeling, side effects and accidental death.

This decision happened as a response to a lower court’s ruling concerning a victim who took a pharmaceutical drug and had a severely adverse reaction that caused the patient to be completely disfigured when the drug caused a flesh-eating side effect.

2012: What’s the Real Truth

I believe this case is a set-up and a test case, and if they get away with it, there will be many more cities, whose control is taken out of the hands of their residents. ~J

In case you haven’t heard, municipal bankruptcy is now all the rage. When smaller municipal corporations (only corporations can declare bankruptcy) had little resistance as test cases for these outrageous claims of fraudulent bankruptcy and default, the larger municipalities gained the confidence that the financially illiterate cesspool of people as citizens don’t know there heads from a hole in the wall when it comes to the financial reporting apparatus of government.

A $3.2 billion public school lunch scheme devised by Michelle Obama has been axed from at least one public school system in New York after students forced to eat according to the new standards were literally starving. According to reports, the Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake (BH-BL) School District near Schenectady voted to scrap the National School Lunch Program starting in September 2013 after determining it to be a complete failure, both practically and financially.   Continue reading “New York public school system drops Michelle Obama’s government lunch standards after students complain of starvation”

Homelessness could be turned into a crime under proposed anti-social behaviour laws a think-tank has warned.

The Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing bill, which featured in the Queen’s Speech earlier this month, includes powers to ban certain activities from designated areas.

The Manifesto Club claims these Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) are more wide-ranging than the powers they will replace while including fewer checks on their use leaving them open to exploitation.   Continue reading “Homelessness Could Be A Crime Under Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Bill Warns Think Tank”

If you haven’t been able to put two and two together yet, the spectacle we just witnessed as the George Zimmerman trial wasn’t really about George Zimmerman at all. It wasn’t a trial to find real justice and it wasn’t even a trial where George Zimmerman was the accused. It wasn’t about Trayvon Martin or the perceived injustice of a white guy who wasn’t white being racist against a poor, oppressed black kid. Nope, this was a trial where the nation’s self-defense laws were the accused and it was designed explicitly to get the new generation of ding dongs educated in social change and social justice to believe that drastic steps need to be taken to change our nations out dated gun laws. Ding dongs incidentally, that haven’t had an honest discussion about liberty and the constitution since the third grade.   Continue reading “The Zimmerman Trial Was Ultimately About Going After Guns & Self-Defense Laws”

You’d think the only thing happening in the world right now is the Trayvon Martin case.  Perhaps that’s the  intention of TPTB.  In the last few days of the Zimmerman trial, over 20 children were shot in Chicago, but no one really noticed.  I agree without argument or ceremony that both sides, Zimmerman and Trayvon, were in the wrong.  That said, we need to move on to equally or more pressing issues and avoid the theatrics designed to distract us.

Issues that are at  least if not more pressing include Bernanke and the FED admitting that dollar collapse would be imminent as soon as the FED stops pumping “QE Infinity”.  This is very significant because apparently there are only two alternatives – inflation ad infinitum or dollar collapse.  But the country being so involved in the soap opera that was the Zimmerman trial and related events, no body seemed to notice much.   Continue reading “What Kind of World?”

The Organic Prepper

Monsanto and their biotech buddies would have you believe that they are super-heroes, set on saving hungry children from starvation wearing a dazzling fake-green cape. In fact, in a recent attack on activists, Monsanto’s CEO Hugh Grant said that because critics “can afford” organic food, we don’t care about the plight of those who can’t afford it. “There is this strange kind of reverse elitism: If I’m going to do this, then everything else shouldn’t exist,” said Grant. “There is space in the supermarket shelf for all of us.”   Continue reading “The 10 GMO Myths That Monsanto Wants You to Believe”
