Flu Risk and Starvation

While government authorities have many of us fearful and willing to accept dangerous vaccines, we overlook the opportunity of feeding those people who die from starvation.


Preventative Health 101: How do you protect yourself and your family from Swine Flu?

The most important thing to realize about the Swine Flu is that the vaccine is more dangerous than the disease. Our government and medical establishment would have us believe otherwise, but check it out for yourself. Also check out "alternative" and "complementary" medical techniques.

The first US human trials of a a new swine flu vaccine will being in eight cities in August. To maintain the climate of fear that keeps them in business the World Health Organization confirmed that more than 700 people had died from the virus worldwide. So the drug and medical industry are now ready to get us to spend lots of money to protect ourselves from this virus. Meanwhile, 25,000 people die needlessly EVERY DAY of starvation.

Cancer Screening Hazardous?

A New York Times article describes how seemingly every body part has a cancer advocate and how early detection in the US leads to similar cancer survival rates as other countries that don't actively encourage early detection.

The article goes on to describe how widespread early detection can be harmful to many people:
"But in fact, except for a few types of cancer, routine screening has not been proven to reduce the death toll from cancer for people without specific symptoms or risk factors — like a breast lump or a family history of cancer — and could even lead to harm, many experts on health say."

Cool Summer

Global warming? Really?

Chicago has its coolest July 8 in 118 years
By Tom Skilling
July 9, 2009
For the 12th time this meteorological summer (since June 1), daytime highs failed to reach 70 degrees Wednesday. Only one other year in the past half century has hosted so many sub-70-degree days up to this point in a summer season -- 1969, when 14 such days occurred.

Wednesday's paltry 65-degree high at O'Hare International Airport (an early-May-level temperature and a reading 18 degrees below normal) was also the city's coolest July 8 high in 118 years -- since a 61-degree high on the date in 1891. ...

Afghanistan: Obama's War

Some voters believed Obama would be for peace. Obama kept Bush's Secretary of Defense, Obama is supporting unConstitutional domestic wiretapping, and Obama is covering up torture. Obama is continuing the Bush policies, so we can accurately call them Obushma.

The Marines are a small force, so for the Marines this is a huge force commitment.
