			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A very short blog post today.</p>
<p>You have a business.  You sell a product/service. You wish that people buy that product or service. If they do, you make money. If people do not buy your product or service, you make no money, you are broke and your shareholders if you have them, are unhappy. Very very simple. Basic lesson in economics over.</p>
<p>Big Pharma companies are business. Their business is selling drugs. If they do not sell drugs they make no money and their shareholders are unhappy.</p>
<p>SO: conclusion that can reasonably be reached, it is not in the interest of pharmaceutical companies that we are healthy. If we buy herbal or &#8216;complementary&#8217; medicines, or maybe just eat a healthy diet and do not become ill, they make no money. They are NOT interested in making you healthy, they are ONLY interested in selling you drugs, and hopefully more drugs to deal with the side-effects of the drugs they sold you in the first place.</p>
<p>Please understand that. Baxter will make trillions of money out of selling their useless flu vaccine &#8211; at best we can hope they have improved their safety procedures and we will not actually die from their vaccine, at worst we will actually die from the vaccine itself. You owe it to yourself to look at the <a href="http://sekhmetgb.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/who-and-baxter-bio-terrorists/">blog post before this one</a> and read the resources on &#8216;alternative&#8217; ways to strengthen your immune system before October 2009, when they expect the second phase of the &#8216;swine flu&#8217; (artificially created in laboratory) which will kill the most people.</p>
<p>Also start looking into your right to &#8216;self quarantine&#8217; so that you cannot be forced to receive the two vaccines they have planned for all citizens of the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is growing evidence that the supposedly new &#8216;H1N1&#8242; flu virus has been laboratory produced and deliberately set free, to cause a drastic reduction in the world population. The virus does not occur naturally,but has been spliced in a laboratory and will mimic the outbreak of flu in 1918-1919, because it has been produced using regenerated virus from that outbreak.</p>
<p>That outbreak killed mainly young people, with excellent immune systems, by causing what is known as a cytokinine storm in the bodies of healthy young adults.</p>
<p>The pharmaceutical company Baxter has &#8216;accidentally&#8217; put this virus into a vaccine meant for research purposes, which was meant to start a pandemic in Europe. Luckily that little plan was thwarted and Baxter admit they made a &#8216;mistake&#8217; and it was &#8216;human error&#8217; and won&#8217;t happen again. Just for the record, Baxter will be producing the vaccines that you will almost definitely be forced to receive later this year when the WHO will declare a state of medical martial law.</p>
<p>You have several options. Carry on sleeping and believe that your government will do its best to protect you, though you might want to read a previous post in this blog on the Dominant Deviant Minority again before you get back to sleep, or wake up and start reading and get ready to fight for your own life and the lives of those you love. The choice is yours.</p>
<p>Here are some links for those who choose the latter option.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/026503_pandemic_swine_flu_bioterrorism.html">A brave journalist</a>, fired for her efforts, who is taking the WHO, the United Nations, President Barack Obama and several other agencies to court on charges of bioterrorism. Charges have been filed with the FBI who are duty bound to investigate.</p>
<p><a href="http://simplyyourhealth.wordpress.com/">A blog</a> dealing with how to prepare your immune system for the coming flu outbreak and also on what steps you can take to protect your right to decide whether or not to have a vaccination.</p>
<p>What a <a href="http://en.wordpress.com/tag/jane-burgermeister/">Canadian doctor</a> has to say about the situation. Plus a whole load more blogs dealing with this situation.</p>
<p>There is a lot more information on this crisis, time to wake up and start to smell the rat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Teenage years. The years of my life I personally would least like to re-visit.  Feeling you were grown-up but still being treated as a child. Having to go to school to learn useless information. Never feeling as pretty/clever/witty or whatever as the other kids in school. Adults bossing you about as though you were still a kid. No money, and not old enough to earn any, but wanting to buy the same things kids with richer parents bought. Strange ideas and longings, which you yourself did not understand. I hated being a teenager.</p>
<p>But, after what seemed forever, finally I stopped being a teenager, went to university, moved away from home and started life as an &#8216;adult&#8217;. Teenagehood in the West is just a phase we all have to go through.</p>
<p>Therefore I was very worried to read about TeenScreen in the US. It is a programme whereby schools are encouraged to use very dubious tactics (such as offering $5.00 video/game tokens to children)  in order to interview children as young as NINE years old, and using a dubious set of &#8216;psychological markers&#8217; can then diagnose these children as being Mentally Ill. They ask such leading questions as &#8216;have you ever thought of committing suicide, how often have you thought about it, have you ever tried to commit suicide and on and on&#8217;. Children are then placed on medication. This can all happen without the consent of the parents of the child.</p>
<p>Parents are now suing Schools, States and psychiatric institutions for screening their children without consent, for placing them on psychotropic medication and for infringing the right of the children and parents to know what is happening to them. You can read the full story <a href="http://www.petitiononline.com/TScreen/petition.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>So we have pregnant women and their unborn children, now teenagers, presumably we will get round to post-menopausal women as well soon. In fact, why not just put everyone on anti-depressant medication, make a big fat profit for BigPharma and dumb us all down, so we won&#8217;t care about what happens anymore.</p>
<p>It really is time we stop labelling perfectly normal conditions and phases in our lives as being somehow &#8216;morbid&#8217; or &#8216;sick&#8217; and started to accept that there are phases in our lives that are more difficult than others, but that these phases are normal and they will not last.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fascinating episode of the Corbett Report on 14th June. As always well researched and backed up with documentation. This episode is episode 90, called &#8216;Our Leaders are Psychopaths&#8217;. <a href="http://www.corbettreport.com/index.php?i=Documentation&amp;ii=192">This is the link</a> for that episode if you are interested in looking at it yourself.</p>
<p>Forget your preconceived ideas about the serial killers we have all heard of, being the only psychopaths/sociopaths in our society. Those are just the tip of the iceberg. Estimates about the number of psychopaths range from 1% to 6.5% of the general population. Most serial killers are in fact psychopaths, but unfortunately most psychopaths are not such obvious serial killers. That would make life relatively easy for us, as if once we have put the serial killers behind bars, society would be safe.</p>
<p>In fact, most psychopaths are not behind bars, they are successful people, in business, policitics, the clergy, entertainment industry and in administration.  They are not hyper-intelligent, though they would like you to believe that, they are just super-ruthless. They are part of a small &#8216;elite&#8217; that do not care if they hurt other people (they do not understand normal emotional responses), they crave power and they are more likely to get power precisely because they are psychopaths and will not let a little thing like the truth or other people&#8217;s emotions stand in their way.</p>
<p>They were psychopathic as children and they have a radar for recognizing other children who like themselves never experience shame, guilt, pity, empathy or love. They tend to band together and know each other all their lives, and when they are in positions of power they inevitably appoint other psychopaths to positions of power.</p>
<p>Because the vast majority of us do have a  &#8216;conscience&#8217; and are capable of understanding the emotions of other people and generally have no wish to hurt other people, we are naive. We cannot understand that approximately 4% of the world&#8217;s population does not feel the same way we do. This is where psychopaths can take advantage of us. They know they are different from us, they have learnt to mimic all the right facial expressions of pain and grief (though they do not feel any of those emotions) and we are taken in by their sublime acting skills. We cannot understand that very powerful psychopaths might make decisions that would not only adversely affect us, but that they even have no particular wish to protect their own families (for whom they have no love either).They have no shame, they are natural born liars, they have no sympathy whatsoever for the lives of others, and they are most likely to be the leaders of nations.</p>
<p>Suddenly a lot of things fell into place after I listened to the interviews during the programme with Dr. Robert Hare (who has made detailed study of psychopaths and produced the diagnostic tool that is commonly used to diagnose the condition) and Martha Stout, author of &#8216;The Sociopath Next Door&#8217;.</p>
<p>Most people you speak to agree that it would be great if everyone on the planet had enough to eat,  a decent education, a place to live and there would be no wars. Yet this never happens. This is not because there is not enough for everyone to go round, because there is more than enough. It is because those at the top want it all for themselves and they are not at all worried about sending other people&#8217;s children to die for their &#8217;causes&#8217;, about releasing deadly viruses on unsuspecting populations (even if it kills their own children in the process). They lie, they cheat, they can be very very charismatic and consummate actors, making you believe they really care, when deep underneath lies an all-consuming contempt for the 95% of us who wish for good things to happen for everyone. They laugh at our naivety and exploit their knowledge that we do not understand that they do not care.</p>
<p>Now I understand why this world feels all wrong, it feels wrong because we are being ruled by the dominant deviant minority, and until we all wake up to that fact and root them out, we will never improve the situation we find ourselves in, now or in the future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There seems to be a trend nowadays to start putting people on medication, before they have shown any signs of being ill. In a charitable mood, I might attribute that to genuine concern for the well-being of someone else. Mostly I see this as a way for the big pharmaceutical companies to earn yet a bit more money, and for the government to take yet more control over every aspect of a person&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>There is now a very worrying bill before Congress, called the Mothers Health Bill. Its stated aim is to organise nationwide &#8216;education&#8217; campaigns to encourage the prescribing and administration of anti-depressants and other psychotropic medication to expectant mothers and women who have recently given birth.</p>
<p>Based on the FDA&#8217;s MedWatch Adverse Events Reporting System data, over the past four years the estimated number of antidepressant-caused infant deaths and injuries was as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>4,360 babies born with serious or life-threatening birth defects</li>
<li>4,160 babies born with potentially fatal heart defects or heart disease</li>
<li>2,900 spontaneous abortions</li>
<li>3,000 premature births</li>
</ul>
<p>I am not a great fan of the FDA, believing it to be largely in the pockets of Big Pharma and agri-buiness, so these figures may be on the low side of the real statistics.</p>
<p>Women who have voiced some negative emotions during their ante-natal check ups have found themselves forcibly admitted to psychiatric hospitals and submitted to treatment (New Jersey).</p>
<p>There are now hundreds of lawsuits pending against both individual states and drug companies, filed by women with babies with birth defects and women who suffered spontaneous abortions.</p>
<p>There is absolutely no reason for this Act to be passed and become law. It is not too late and there is a petition which can be signed, lobbying for the Act not to be passed. You can sign it <a href="http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/stop-the-dangerous-and-invasive-mothers-act">here</a> .</p>
<p>Pregnancy and having babies, are not diseases. Undoubtedly being pregnant and giving birth or being a new parent places strain on families, and some women possibly are genuinely depressed (though not necessarily because they are pregnant/new baby). Prescribing anti-depressants in most cases is not necessary at all and is yet another way in which a perfectly natural process has been medicalized and taken over by big business. Please help us put a stop to it.</p>
