The UK is a basket case. Our sad and troubled land is ruled by Talmudic
tyrants who impose their will with their well-paid thugs in uniform, the
police. Those who disagree with the ruling political orthodoxy can expect
to be taken against their will by armed criminals, to be held in a place
from which they cannot leave, and then after enduring this ordeal, be
forced into a corrupt legal system which will be used to either
rubber-stamp their kidnapping, or force them to pay money to a system which
has long passed beyond having any credibility.

Agenda 21: A Baby Boomer Rant
Mark Daniels at GLOBAL POLITICAL AWAKENING - 1 day ago
Samm Simpson
I don’t watch TV because of lying charlatans. And ads telling people what
pill to ask for while detailing those deadly side effects from that
medicine you’re supposed to ask for. TV is a multi-tasking wonder:
babysitter, entertainment, propaganda information control center. Today’s
digital and aural implants maneuver their magic as brain washer, social
engineer and in-home beast. I stopped watching TV after George Clooney
left *ER*. Does that mean I’m out of touch?
Glad my Toyota still runs. Getting the oil changed every 3000 miles

Snowden: Shooting the Messenger

Stephen Lendman
A previous article said challenging US lawlessness more than ever matters.
Big Brother spying reflects it. Unprecedented global surveillance is
official US policy.
Everyone can be monitored all the time, everywhere, for any reason or none
at all. National security threats are fabricated. America's only enemies
are ones it creates.
The ACLU said "(i)t's time to get angry. (It's) "Time to Rein in the
Surveillance State." Stop lawless US spying. Mega-data-mining's
unconstitutional.
"This unprecedented surveillance strikes at the core of our right to free

Designer Babies One Step Closer Thanks To UK Ruling
Mark Daniels at GLOBAL POLITICAL AWAKENING - 1 day ago
Chris Carrington
A ruling today brings the prospects of ‘designer babies’ a step closer to
reality. The UK has approved three person IVF (in vitro fertilization)
which experts say could remove the chance of fatal diseases passing down
the mitochondrial DNA strand from the female line.
Defective mitochondrial DNA affects one in 6500 babies.
Opponents adamant that the procedure is unethical arguing that there are
other methods available to women affected by mitochondrial disorders.
Earlier this year, a public consultation by the Human Fertilisation and
Embryology Authority (HFEA) ... more »
Med Mob Has Groomed 70 Percent of Americans on Prescription Drugs
Mark Daniels at GLOBAL POLITICAL AWAKENING - 1 day ago
*Dees Art* Heather Callaghan
Have you ever had a family member come home with a drug sample? Kind of
like those Wal-Mart product samples you can get in the mail except it's
handed to you in good faith by an authority. Prescription medicines are the
first go-to solution of doctors for almost any type of ailment.
Recently, Mayo Clinic research found that 70% or 7 out of 10 people in the
U.S. are on prescription drugs. Twenty percent are on five or more
prescriptions. Shocking as that may seem, it isn't really when one
considers that some of those prescriptions were most likely giv... more »

Agenda 21: The Steady-State Illusion
Mark Daniels at GLOBAL POLITICAL AWAKENING - 1 day ago
*Energy is the all-pervasive underlying currency of our society*. -- (Senator
Mark Hatfield, 1974)
Julie Beal
Plans are afoot to control population growth, the production and
consumption of goods, and the very air we breathe. Faithfully following the
blueprint of Agenda 21, the United Nations is now ‘considering’ the
transition to a steady-state economy – a system of central planning which
has been gaining headway since the release of the Club of Rome’s *Limits to
Growth*, more than forty years ago. Requiring technocratic global
governance, the steady-state economy,

Bipartisanship... The Good Kind
DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 day ago
Yesterday we talked about how cowardly New Dem freshmen Patrick Murphy and Kyrsten
Sinema, who Boehner and Cantor know they can count on to almost always
betray progressive Democratic ideals and vote with the GOP in a way that
allows them to claim their toxic agenda is "bipartisan," have a
phony-baloney bipartisan caucus that helps round up naive Democratic
freshman to vote with the GOP. That isn't bipartisan-- that's self-loathing
surrender-monkey opportunism. And Murphy and Sinema are probably the two
worst mistakes of 2012.
This week Alan Grayson (D-FL) showed the way real bipa... more »
U.S. Army restricting access to the Guardian across all of their networks over security concerns

The U.S. Army has admitted to restricting access to the Guardian, the site
that has reported extensively on National Security Agency (NSA)
surveillance programs as of late, over “operational security” concerns.
Interestingly, the Army has a habit of blocking websites for reasons which
are at times strange, including the official website for the Southern
Baptist Convention, a Christian denomination with almost 16 million members.
The Army removed the block after public outcry; but during the time it was
blocked, the user attemptin... more »

Too busy to blog today, so let's catch up on some links:
- China and Taiwan: Steady as She Goes
China, Taiwan and the US appear to be relatively comfortable with the
current state of cross-strait relations. But that shouldn’t lead us into a
false sense of security, warns Roderick Wye. Beijing still remains
determined to unite Taiwan with the Chinese mainland.

China grows closer

Washington Is Driving The World To The Final War

Anthony Freda Art Paul Craig Roberts
*V For Vendetta*, a film that portrays evil in a futuristic England as a
proxy for the evil that exists today in America, ends with the defeat of
evil. But this is a movie in which the hero has super powers. If you have
not seen this film, you should watch it. It might wake you up and give you
courage. The excerpts below show that, at least among some filmmakers, the
desire for liberty still exists.
Whether the desire for liberty exists in America remains to be seen. If
Americans can overcome their gullibility, their lifelong brainwashing,

What Do We Tell Our Children?
Mark Daniels at GLOBAL POLITICAL AWAKENING - 1 day ago
Dave Hodges
When I became a parent, I mistakenly thought that I would raise my son just
like my parents raised me. My parents instilled in me a fundamental respect
for authority, how to honor the great traditions of our country and how to
work hard to get what I wanted out of life.
I grew up loving the ideals of our country, the freedom and the
opportunity. As a result, I have lived a good and prosperous life. I give
thanks to my parents and to God everyday for my good fortune.
However, I have learned that I was not fully prepared to be a parent
because I do not know how to teach... more »
Multiple Government Agencies Are Keeping Records Of Your Credit Card Transactions
Mark Daniels at GLOBAL POLITICAL AWAKENING - 1 day ago
Michael Snyder
Were you under the impression that your credit card transactions are
private? If so, I am sorry to burst your bubble. As you will see below,
there are actually multiple government agencies that are gathering and
storing records of your credit card transactions. And in turn, those
government agencies share that information with other government agencies
that want it. So if you are making a purchase that you don't want anyone to
know about, don't use a credit card.
This is one of the reasons why the government hates cash so much. It is
just so hard to track. In ... more »
A Pox on the CDC’s Vaccination Agenda: The Rise of Herpes Zoster (Shingles)
Mark Daniels at GLOBAL POLITICAL AWAKENING - 1 day ago
Sayer Ji
A new systematic review published in *PLoS* titled, "Herpes Zoster Risk
Reduction through Exposure to Chickenpox Patients: A Systematic
Multidiscplinary Review," confirms that the widespread adoption of chickenpox
vaccine over the past 30 years, which has resulted in a decline in
chickenpox cases associated with infection from the wild-circulating virus,
has led to a concerning increase in the incidence of herpes zoster
(shingles), a far more serious expression of chickenpox virus (varicella
zoster) infection.
This new review brings to the forefront a few critically impo... more »
Jurors Still Angry About Hershberger Trial; Food Club Gets 100 New Members
Mark Daniels at GLOBAL POLITICAL AWAKENING - 1 day ago
Unlikely friends? Vernon, wife, jurors Heather Callaghan
If you've been paying attention to the details of Vernon Hershberger's
trial, the bigger picture is completely insane. The final result was a less
punitive fine of $1,000 and $513 in court costs that a supporter covered on
Vernon's sentencing day. He was found not guilty on three criminal charges
relating to lack of licensing to distribute fresh foods, and guilty on the
last count of breaking a food holding order. The jury members, however, are
feeling jilted.
