Song Lyrics:
They’re dumbing us down
putting aspartame in our drinks
and fluoride in our toothpaste and the water
until we can’t even think straight any more
Taking prozac when we’re down
ritalin for the kids and
tamiflu for the swine flu scare
we just can’t feel no more
Things are not what they seem
It’s all a dream
There’s chemtrails in the sky and
pollution in the sea
there’s Monsanto taking over the food chain
but we just don’t see the lies
The TV and the newspapers
they’re keeping us all asleep
the bankers and the oil men
they’re feeding off our sheep mentality
Things are not what they seem
It’s all a dream
An eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth
we’re so busy fighting each other that we don’t see
only the truth will set us free
Things are not what they seem
It’ all a dream

(NaturalNews) Over the last month or so, the mainstream media has been making a huge deal about Kansas State nutrition professor Mark Haub who lost 27 pounds eating mostly Doritos, Twinkies and other junk food while drinking Diet Mountain Dew. But as usual, they’re misrepresenting the story.
You can lose weight on chemotherapy, too. And most chemotherapy patients lose all kinds of weight due to the mass poisoning of their bodies with synthetic chemicals. Does that mean chemotherapy is weight loss medicine, too? (Don’t laugh, I’ve seen similar conclusions written up in the mainstream media…)
Virtually anything can be promoted as a “weight loss miracle” in the following way:
Consider this: You can lose weight by starving yourself (by eating nothing). That promotes rapid weight loss as long as you stick to it — which is, of course, nearly impossible to do for very long. Read the rest of this entry »
Reuters reports:
“This year, it is doubtful H1N1 pandemic flu will be noticed … most people are now immune to this strain, because it spread so far and wide.”
What a difference a year makes. It was around this time last year that swine flu hysteria was sweeping across the United States and much of the world, and one of the largest, most inappropriate and unnecessary vaccine campaigns was launched.
We were told by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the president of the United States that H1N1 swine flu was deadly and millions might die worldwide. The terrifying, deadly pandemic that health officials had been expecting for over half a century was knocking at our doorstep … only it never materialized.
It didn’t take long for the truth to come out — that the swine flu was not only no more dangerous than regular flu but it was FAR less dangerous. Nevertheless, government agencies remained steadfast in their urgings to get vaccinated.

Almost daily I read the World, Political, Health, Social and Tech news from various news feeds. Often I will read the entire article, watch the linked video and then share it with friends, or, just post it to facebook. I have made several observations while traveling along this path. It is as though these news sources are all coming from completely different societies, and the people I share them with are largely silent about what they’re seeing.
In The News
World: talks a lot about why global governance is important.
Political: abstractly talks about which party is better.
Health: talks about fitness fads.
Social: talks about the latest apps and games and staying connected.
Tech: talks about the millions in investments to startups and iPhone vs the Android.
There’s no substance to it any of it. The news is very, very, obviously for entertainment purposes, not actual information distribution. What is there to gain from these talking points? They are just that – points to talk about. There is a very strong emphasis on being entertained as opposed to being educated and informed. Evidence of this point is ample – you may have noticed I left out the category of Entertainment, which takes precedence over all other ‘news’ categories. There is a greater desire to learn about celeb drama than there is about real world issues such as the Gulf. Read the rest of this entry »

A seven month old baby has miraculously survived being shot after the parents killed themselves and their two year old son, citing fears over a lack of government action on global warming.
Francisco Lotero, 56, and Miriam Coletti, 23, are said to have shot their young son in the back, killing the toddler instantly.
Neighbors called the police, after complaining of a stench coming from the house.
Police broke into the property and discovered the horrific scene three days after the shooting, the Latin American Herald reported Saturday.
Still alive, but covered in blood, the baby was rushed to the hospital where it was revealed that the bullet from her father’s handgun had somehow missed all the child’s vital organs, lodging itself in her chest.
In a suicide note, reportedly discovered by police, the couple cited their extreme fears over the effects of global warming.
The couple were said to have expressed anger at the government in the letter for not doing more to avert a worldwide environmental crisis.
The baby is now under observation in a hospital in the town of Goya in the north of Argentina.
Doctors have told the media that the child is out of danger and should make a good recovery.
The tragic story is clearly an isolated incident, yet it highlights the fear with which some people are receiving the constant drumbeat about anthropogenic global warming.
Clearly this couple were either already very much deranged or were so terrified that they ended their own lives believing that they were contributing to the destruction of the planet.
It is not surprising to hear of an incident like this, particularly in the face the concerted agenda to link global climate change with overconsumption and overpopulation, offering up depopulation policies as a possible solution.
Linking environmental policy to agendas opens the door to eugenics and it is no surprise that through that door have come pouring hordes of elitist filth just begging to be on the front line of the extermination policy.
One example is UK-based public policy group The Optimum Population Trust (OPT), which has launched a new initiative urging wealthy members of the developed world to participate in carbon offsets that fund programs for curbing the population of developing nations.
In 2007, the group also published a report announcing that children are ‘bad for planet and ‘having large families should be frowned upon as an environmental misdemeanor in the same way as frequent long-haul flights, driving a big car and failing to reuse plastic bags.
The same talking point has been re-iterated again and again by public policy groups and environmentalists, as well as the most influential scientists in the US government.
While you may think ideas of sterilization and depopulation could never be accepted by the public, those very concepts are now being embraced and popularized by some as the way forward for humanity.
Last December’s Copenhagen Summit even heard suggestions from Chinese delegates for a global population control program to tackle global warming.
Alex Jones’ Films Endgame and Fall Of The Republic address the hijacking of the environmental movement in more detail.

Screenshot of the letter being written
My children come home from school with letters telling me to get them the swine flu vaccine, and that I should too.
These letters do not provide any facts or figures that can be backed up. It is always simple propaganda style instructions on what I should do.
I want to know WHY I should do this. Don’t point to the TV or newspaper reports that say I should. A mass media campaign only proves that the talking heads are all reading from the same scripts. We have all had the flu in the past and we all got over it. The seasonal flu complications are contributors to more than 30,000 deaths per year in North America, but this swine flu does not have those kinds of numbers and at this rate it will not by the time the flu season has passed.
This has been blown out of proportion and you are failing in your duties as a public servant. Your job is not to tell us what to do. You’re supposed to know both the pro and con arguments and present the populous with that information, ideally with references, so that we can make our own choices. To ignore the fundamental right we have, through the Canadian Constitution, to freedom of conscience is to violate it. A violation of one person’s rights is a violation of every person’s rights.
Perhaps there is more time being spent with consideration to the income generated for the medical and pharmaceutical industries than there is for the actual health of the people.
Before passing me off as an oddball or some other derogatory expression it would only reflect on your intelligence if you considered the following:
Child Being Vaccinated
Doctors say the swine flu is a threat and vaccination is needed.
Doctors say the swine flu is NOT a threat and vaccination is worse than getting sick.
With those two points in mind people are likely to immediately fall back onto their pre-conceived notions about which could possibly be right or wrong. That mentality would do well with a small paradigm shift. Both groups of Doctors are smart, skilled and reputable so you cannot easily discount one over the other but what you can do is analyze the science they’re basing their statements on, and then from there you can make an informed choice that is free from fear and pre-conceived opinion and propaganda.
When the mass media pushes only one side of the story it is clear that there is an agenda at work. The mass media does not give the same air-time to Dr. Ron Paul, Dr. Len Horowitz, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Dr. Russell Blaylock, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny ect., as anyone working for a government agency or pharmaceutical company. ALL of these doctors are credible, intelligent and successful in their fields, but there is a glaring difference between them and the government/corporate reps: None of them seek gains of any kind by way of vaccination and/or drug prescriptions. Their goals are clearly defined and the most basic: Keep the good health of the people. If something is dangerous, don’t do it. If something is unproven, prove it. If something is untested, test it. If someone is not informed, inform them.
I discovered a poster created by Dr. Joseph Mercola on one of his websites, http://swineflu.mercola.com, and I paid out of my pocket to have 500 copies printed. I took 100 of them to the grocery store and my children passed them out to the shoppers by saying to them, “Hi, this will keep you healthy!” It generated lots of great conversation, and do you know what most people were saying to us?
“Wow, this is a great thing you’re doing here.”
“People are confused by the media. They don’t know what to do because no one is telling them the truth.”
“You’re really teaching your kids a great lesson here.”
“Oh my goodness I didn’t know any of this!”
We handed out about 80 of them and one lady asked for some so she could pass them around her social circles so we gladly gave her about 20 copies. Every single person who took a copy said, “Thank you.” I think they honestly appreciated the effort on our part to help people, and that became evident when after numerous people asked me if I worked for the government or hospital. I told them all, “No, I am just a concerned citizen.” When they heard that they let their guard down because I wasn’t pushing something on them. The poster we were giving out was a fact sheet that, after reading, would allow them the chance to verify the information and make an intelligent, informed decision about getting the shot… or not.
Screenshot of the submitted letter
There were only 3 people who refused a copy of the poster, and one offered the fact that she already had her shot. The mass media does not show that kind of real, grass-roots level numbers.
When we got home the kids were so excited about giving people the chance to be healthy that they wanted to go door-to-door and give them to even more people. So we did. Not one person refused to take a poster and everyone was appreciative – even those out for an evening stroll and those walking their dogs.
Before bed the kids asked if they could take some posters to school to give to their friends. You see what’s happening here? People feel good about helping people. People feel good when someone else cares enough to offer them the help, even if they didn’t know any was needed.
We were not running around telling people what to do. We simply handed out some information that they could then use to “stay healthy.”
I hope you stay healthy too. Look up those Dr. names I listed. Visit their websites. Search for their videos/documentaries on YouTube. Be informed.
