Sarah Palin: Rally 10/17/08

Sarah Palin
Rally
West Chester, OH 10/17/08

TRANSCRIPT:
SARAH PALIN: And you know, we really got to hand it to Joe. Somehow, he got Barack Obama to finally state his intentions in plain language. Senator Obama said that he wants to spread the wealth, and he wants government to take your money and decide how to best redistribute it, according to his priorities. And Joe suggested that that sounded a little bit like socialism. Whatever you call it, I call it bad medicine for an ailing economy. And its what Barack Obama will do to those who want to create jobs, and were willing to call him on it.

Full Moon November 2008

2008-11-26T20:17:56Z

11/11/08—We may take life more seriously today as the Sun forms a cooperative sextile with austere Saturn. But this is not a particularly difficult energy, for self-discipline comes easily now. The Moon's entry into earthy Taurus at 3:04 pm EST is another indicator of the shift into a more practical state of mind. Nevertheless, our desires intensify throughout the day as alluring Venus moves toward a conjunction with passionate Pluto early tomorrow morning.

Psychiatry Is A Mental Disorder

2008-10-29T05:13:47Z

This is the intro to Psychiatry: An Industry of Death. It's a shocking look at the roots of psychiatry involving torture, its influence on governments, and today's mass drugging and involuntary commitment without cause - especially for children and the elderly. Towards the end of the movie a man goes to a number of psychiatrists with the same symptoms, but receives different diagnoses and prescriptions. More often than not, acts of mass violence such as school shootings involve antidepressant drugs. Frequently these are people who had no violent tendencies until taking the drug. Antidepressants have been proven to at least double actual suicide attempts in children in short-term clinical trials. Psychiatry admittedly has no scientific basis, no proof of chemical imbalances in the brain requiring the mind-altering drugs prescribed, and offers NO CURES. A key ingredient in psych drugs is fluoride, which dumbs people down, suppresses hormones, causes early puberty and suppresses thyroid. (This is the same fluoride being put in tap water and toothpaste.) In the 1900's psychiatry was responsible for the forced sterilization of the "undesirable" in nearly 30 countries including the US, England, Brazil, Russia, Mexico and Sweden. Psychiatry played a powerful role in Nazi Germany, where leading psychiatrists personally performed killings in concentration camps. Later it justified slavery in America by claiming African Americans were inferior and needed to be separated from whites.

In this clip, Alex discusses how a culture of pedophilia permeates government and branches of social services, why sex predators are enabled to conduct their activities by using the instruments of state, with a spotlight on cases of abuse in Texas and the U.S. government's attempts to cover it up. A quarter of the entire adult population of the United Kingdom will be mandated to pass a state check operated by a newly formed government agency to have any physical contact with children under the age of 16 in public - including their own kids. "From next year the new Independent Safeguarding Authority will require any adult who come into contact with children or vulnerable adults either through their work or in voluntary groups to be vetted," according to a London Telegraph report.

Government Permission Required For Parents To Kiss Children Paul Joseph Watson www.infowars.com Prison Planet Thursday, June 26, 2008 Sweeping new policies set to be introduced in the UK will mandate parents to get government permission to kiss their children or take them to the swimming pool in public, measures that are "poisoning" relationships between the generations, according to respected sociologist Professor Frank Furedi. In this clip, Alex discusses how a culture of pedophilia permeates government and branches of social services, why sex predators are enabled to conduct their activities by using the instruments of state, with a spotlight on cases of abuse in Texas and the U.S. government's attempts to cover it up. A quarter of the entire adult population of the United Kingdom will be mandated to pass a state check operated by a newly formed government agency to have any physical contact with children under the age of 16 in public - including their own kids. "From next year the new Independent Safeguarding Authority will require any adult who come into contact with children or vulnerable adults either through their work or in voluntary groups to be vetted," according to a London Telegraph report. In a think tank report, Professor Furedi highlighted cases where government checks were already being required by schools and other organizations for parents to merely interact with their own children in public. In one example, a woman could not kiss her daughter goodbye on a school trip because she had not been vetted. In another, a mother was surprised to be told by another parent that she and her husband were "CRB checked" when their children played together. In a third example, a father was given "filthy looks" by a group of mothers when he took his child swimming on his own in "a scene from a Western when the room goes silent and tumbleweed blows across the foreground". As a result ordinary parents - many of whom are volunteers at sports and social clubs - now find themselves regarded "potential child abusers".

Sick & Broke: Highlights of Elizabeth Edwards on Health Care

2009-01-08T00:43:17Z

http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/10/health_briefs.html

During this historic election year, health care is a focal point of the national debate. Elizabeth Edwards, author and Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, examines the current health care system, offer her suggestions for reform, and discuss the role young people can have in one of America’s top domestic priorities. The discussion was moderated by Ezra Klein, Associate Editor at The American Prospect.

Health care is one of the most important issues concerning Americans this election season. More than 45 million Americans do not have health insurance—a reality that has dire consequences for both individuals and the economy.

Policymakers across the political spectrum agree that we need to make health care more affordable and more accessible to all Americans. But when it comes down to the issues—should reform come from the federal government, or states? how should we construct tax credits? what about high-risk pools?—differences emerge.

Craig Venter Denounces Race-Based Science Research

2008-11-03T10:42:56Z

Complete video at: fora.tv

Geneticist J. Craig Venter denounces racially-based science and medical research, arguing that humans are too genetically similar for any major differentiation to have evolved among races.

-----

The man who mapped the human genome has a new focus: using microbes to create alternative fuels. Craig Venter, maverick biologist, wants to cure our addiction to oil. To do so, he proposes creating a designer microbe -- the heart of a biological engine -- from scratch, then adding genes culled from the sea to turn crops such as switch grass and cornstalks into ethanol.

This could prompt a major shift in the economics of the energy industry and in the process bring Venter to a secondary goal: showing the world he can be as successful as he was at sequencing human DNA.  Venter, a former Vietnam medic, brought about a paradigm shift in genomic sequencing that has entered him in the mythology of science.

He wanted to play God, so he cracked the human genome. Now he wants to play Darwin and collect the DNA of everything on the planet. Venter has graced the covers of Time and BusinessWeek - The Oxonian Society

J. Craig Venter, PH.D. is regarded as one of the leading scientists of the 21st century for his contributions to genomic research and is one of the country'’s most frequently cited scientists. He is Founder and President of the J. Craig Venter Institute and J. Craig Venter Science Foundation, not-for-profit research and support organizations dedicated to human genomic research, exploration of social and ethical issues in genomics, and alternative energy solutions through microbial sources. He is also the Founder and Chairman of the Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR).

Dr. Venter's autobiography A Life Decoded was published in October of 2007.
