Active-duty troops, vets launch campaign to help GIs resist Afghanistan war

In response to the catastrophic, immoral war in Afghanistan and the ceaseless epidemic of military suicides, active-duty U.S. troops along with Iraq and Afghanistan veterans have launched a nation-wide campaign to educate and assist service members in their right to refuse to fight.

The noxious smell of bullshit still clouds the entire health care debate, so we're still looking for an infographic that will finally make sense of the Obamacare bill. We've already seen informative flowcharts and online calculators--but these have been both ugly and a bit too simplified. Time for something new.

This one isn't perfect, but it's still pretty good. Designed by Marco Giannini for a recent contest held by GOOD magazine, it depicts the health care reform bill as a subway map.

Every 14 minutes, a person is killed by prescription drugs -- and unlike most other causes of preventable death, which have been on the decline for years, medication-induced deaths are on the upswing across the US. According to a recent analysis conducted by the Los Angeles Times (LA Times), drug-induced deaths have become so prevalent that their average yearly total now exceeds the number of deaths caused by traffic accidents.

Still lost on the Law of the Sea Treaty: Reagan wouldn't sign it, and what was bad for the U.S. then is bad now. The Law of the Sea Treaty still doesn't work the the U.S. - latimes.com

President Reagan so strongly opposed the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea that he didn't just not sign the treaty. He very publicly refused to sign it. He also dismissed the State Department staff that helped negotiate it. And in case anyone didn't... get the message, he sent special envoy Donald Rumsfeld on a globe-trotting mission to explain his opposition and urge other nations to follow suit.

How odd, then, to hear proponents of the convention (also known as the Law of the Sea Treaty, or LOST) insist that Reagan would gladly sign on today. To hear them tell it, the Gipper's reservations were few, minor and subsequently taken care of in a 1994 agreement now incorporated in the treaty.

But with the treaty again under consideration by the Senate, it's important to note that Reagan's objections to it were anything but trivial. In his view, articulated long before he entered the Oval Office, its fatal flaw was as great as it was simple: LOST posed a direct threat to American sovereignty. The Law of the Sea Treaty still doesn't work the the U.S. - latimes.com
_______

The Law of the Sea Treaty or L.O.S.T. will introduce international legal complications to the US Navy regarding national security missions. The treaty includes no provision against ships transporting WMD or terrorists to rouge states. It will also complicate deep sea mining, offshore fishing, and would require the US to give the UN Seabed Authority half of ourroyalties from offshore mining and oil drilling. A legal framework would also be created to reduce “thermal pollution” of the oceans. New international bureaucracies would be created to interpret and apply a wide range of rules for the sea, and proceed with those rules despite objections by the United States.

This treaty will create a backdoor to cap and trade and threatens our American economy, homeland security, and power as a nation. IT MUST BE STOPPED. STOP the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) | George Jarkesy Radio Show
_______

LOST, approval of which is supposedly somehow suddenly imperative, emerged from the mists of U.N. deliberations that began in the 1950s. The result, three generations later, is pernicious when it is not superfluous.

For centuries there has been a law of the sea. There might be marginal benefits from LOST’s clarifications and procedures for resolving disputes arising from that law — although China and the nations involved in contentious disputes about the South China Sea have all ratified LOST, not that it seems to matter. But those hypothetical benefits are less important than LOST’s actual derogation of U.S. sovereignty by empowering a U.N. bureaucracy — the International Seabed Authority (ISA), based in Jamaica — to give or withhold permission for mining, and to transfer perhaps hundreds of billions of dollars of U.S. wealth to whatever nation it deems deserving — “on the basis of equitable sharing criteria, taking into account the interests and needs of developing states, particularly the least developed and the land-locked among them.”

Donald Rumsfeld, who is five times more persuasive than these former secretaries of state, opposes LOST because it “remains a sweeping power grab that could prove to be the largest mechanism for the worldwide redistribution of wealth in human history.” It “would regulate American citizens and businesses without being accountable politically to the American people.” Which makes it shameful that the Chamber of Commerce is campaigning for LOST through an organization with the Orwellian name the American Sovereignty Campaign.

Aside from the Drones and other instruments of destruction at their disposal, biological weapons are the scariest and the most volatile, thus the most difficult to control. Once unleashed, it is hard to predict the exact repercussions. In spite of this, I don't think the puppet masters would hesitate to unleash them upon an unmalleable population. Inculcating the pathogens into each body via va...ccinations might be the best way to go though...

If you think this idea is crazy, consider the case of the missing 9,200 vials of deadly pathogens such the Ebola virus, anthrax bacteria and botulinum toxin, and less lethal agents such as Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus and the bacterium that causes tularemia: Fort Detrick Inventory Turns Up 9,220 More Vials of PathogensWhy is this not on Fox or Cnn ?-9000 Vials of a potentially harmful pathogen have gone missing « Godssecret's Weblog

With such lax security practices, it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to consider the possibility of an epidemic, making vaccinations mandatory. (Contagion: Movie or Pro-Vaccine Propaganda? Contagion: Movie or Pro-Vaccine Propaganda? « The Vaccine Xchange )

Jane Bürgermeister's blog: Case About Bird Flu
Hundreds of reports have appeared in the mainstream media in the past couple of days hyping the danger of a new bioengineered bird flu virus which is transmissible between humans, as the Globalists try to condition humanity to accept a new pandemic emergency and a mass vaccination campaign with a toxic pandemic jab. Airborne Transmission of Influenza A/H5N1 Virus Between Ferrets

Bird flu pandemic just "three mutations" away, scientists show: Bird flu pandemic just "three mutations" away, scientists show - Telegraph

Yet again, the people of the world are facing the monolithic threat of a mass vaccination campaign with a pandemic vaccine now proven beyond a doubt to cause harm.
In 2011, the danger of a new pandemic emergency declaration was increased when Big Pharma was allowed to get significant control of the WHO pandemic virus warning system.
GSK welcomes key agreement to support global preparedness against pandemic influenza

In a clear conflict of interest, Big Pharma is now in a perfect position to hype a new virus and also call for speedy vaccinations which the drugs companies also stand to profit the most from.
In 2009, Baxter created a similar type of deadly bioweapon when it contaminated 72 kilos of the transmissible seasonal flu with the deadly bird flu virus in its biosecurity level 3 facilities in Orth an der Donau and sent it to 16 labs in four countries.

A police investigation was halted in September 2009 just before a mass pandemic vaccination campaign with a vaccine now confirmed by the governments of Ireland, Sweden, Finland and Norway to have caused narcolepsy.

The way Big Pharma used its financial clout to influence WHO to declare a pandemic emergency level 6 in 2009 has been well documented.

In spite of the scandal, the world is facing the same national pandemic plans. Once more we are facing forced vaccination with the same toxic jab and quarantine.

The mainstream media and the false flag alternative media led by Alex Jones are once more hyping the new super virus as a killer and downplaying the vaccine danger.
The new bird flu virus is no killer.

On The Verge Of A Historic Inversion In Shadow Banking

While everyone's attention was focused on details surrounding the household sector in the recently released Q1 Flow of Funds report (ours included), something much more important happened in the US economy from a flow perspective, something which, in fact, has not happened since December of 1995, when liabilities in the deposit-free US Shadow... Banking system for the first time ever became larger than liabilities held by traditional financial institutions, or those whose funding comes primarily from deposits.

As a reminder, Zero Hedge has been covering the topic of Shadow Banking for over two years, as it is our contention that this massive, and virtually undiscussed component of the US real economy (that which is never covered by hobby economists' three letter economic theories used to validate socialism, or even any version of (neo-)Keynesianism as shadow banking in its proper, virulent form did not exist until the late 1990s and yet is the same size as total US GDP!), is, on the margin, the most important one: in fact one that defines, or at least should, monetary policy more than most imagine, and also explains why despite trillions in new money having been created out of thin air, the flow through into the general economy has been negligible. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/verge-historic-inversion-shadow-banking?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_ campaign=Feed%3A+zerohedge%2Ffeed+%28zero+hedge+-+on+a+long+enough+timeline%2C+the+survival+rate+fo r+everyone+drops+to+zero%29&utm_content=My+Yahoo
