Newsflash for big government opponents: Privatizing stuff sure won't encourage smaller government.

This new world orderly compiled a ton of research and wrote a whole book where he basically sums up that people get pissed off when a foreign army occupies their lands. Well no shit.

9-11 question of the week:
How did the "terrorist mastermind Bin Laden" know that his guys could just fly right into the pentagon that morning? It's no secret that is highly controlled airspace so just how did he know? What made him even think that he could get that off, ya know?

What Is Insanity? Might Wanna Look It Up

2010-07-26T18:56:00.006-05:00

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

"I have heard that quote in my clinical practice so many times in the past year that I decided I have to write about it. Somehow this definition has become part of the collective understanding of abnormal psychology and has been terribly misapplied. I don’t know much more about the context of the quote but I am guessing that it was a bit of a humorous comment on science." - By Will Meek, PhD

http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2010/07/26/insanity-albert-einstein-was-wrong
How can you take an out of context quote from even one of the most brilliant physicists and call it the definition? I can see the line of thinking there but to call that the definition of insanity is... well, a bit insane.

Engineered Organic
"Genetically engineered crops could carry organic farming much further toward fulfilling all the goals of sustainable agriculture, Raoul said, but it was prohibited as a technique for organic farmers in the standards and regulations set by the federal government in 2000."
http://www.longnow.org/seminars/02009/jul/28/organically-grown-genetically-engineered-food-future

http://www.hulu.com/watch/108632/foratv-science-organically-grown-genetically-engineered-the-food-of-the-future

When Organic Isn't Really Organic
"Organic food is, by definition, supposed to be free of genetically modified material, and organic crops are required to be isolated from other crops. But as GM crops become more prevalent, there is little that an organic farmer can do to prevent a speck of GM pollen or a stray GM seed from being blown by the wind onto his land or farm equipment and, eventually, into his products. In 2006, GM crops accounted for 61% of all the corn planted in the U.S. and 89% of all the soybeans."
http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1599110,00.html

http://www.gmo-compass.org/eng/grocery_shopping/crops

"The current generation of genetically modified (GM) crops unnecessarily risks the health of the population and the environment. Present knowledge is not sufficient to safely and predictably modify the plant genome, and the risks of serious side-effects far outweigh the benefits. We urge you to stop feeding the products of this infant science to our population and ban the release of these crops into the environment where they can never be recalled. " - An open letter to Kelloggs from independent scientists read at the Joint International GMO Opposition Day, April 8, 2006
http://www.organicconsumers.org/gelink.cfm

"A Kellogg spokeswoman, Kris Charles, said her company, the top
U.S. maker of cereal, 'would not have any issues' purchasing such
sugar for products sold in the United States, where she said 'most
consumers are not concerned about biotech.'"
"How unaware are American consumers about the presence of
genetically engineered foods in their diet? In a November 2004
report funded the United States Department of Agriculture and
conducted by Rutgers University, researchers found that only 31
percent of the American public thought that they had ever eaten a
genetically engineered product. Yet in reality, since soy and corn
are both used in many processed foods, the majority of people are
eating these unlabeled biotech products on a regular basis."

U.S. organic food industry fears GMO contamination
"Widespread contamination of U.S. corn, soybeans and other crops by genetically engineered varieties is threatening the purity of organic and natural food products"

Lawmakers ask USDA to deny Monsanto GMO alfalfa
"More than 50 U.S. lawmakers are calling on the U.S. Agriculture Department to
keep Monsanto's (MON.N) biotech alfalfa out of farm fields,
despite a Supreme Court ruling this week that cleared the way
for limited planting pending environmental reviews."
"The lawmakers said the biotech alfalfa presents too great a
risk to conventional and organic agriculture to ever allow it."
"'We believe that the broad regulatory authority available
to you has been ignored, in order to justify deregulation of a
biotech crop that has limited utility to anyone except the
manufacturer,' the letter addressed to Agriculture Secretary
Thomas Vilsack said."
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2326472520100623

Obama USDA Poised to Take Away Our Right to GMO-Free Food
"Barack Obama, despite promising us "change we can believe in," is unfortunately turning out to be just as pro-GMO as the preceding Bush and Clinton administrations, packing the USDA and other government bureaucracies with Monsanto men and biotech cheerleaders such as former Iowa Governor, Tom Vilsack, named "Biotech Governor of the Year" in 2001, now serving as USDA Secretary."
"Alfalfa is the fourth most widely grown crop in the U.S. and a key source of dairy forage and hay. The first perennial crop to be genetically engineered, GM alfalfa can regenerate itself from its root-stock. It is open-pollinated by bees, which can cross-pollinate at distances of several miles, spreading Monsanto's patented, foreign DNA to non-GMO and organic crops. Widespread GMO-contamination of organic alfalfa is inevitable if the Obama Administration successfully distorts science and ignores public opinion and allows Monsanto's GM Roundup Ready alfalfa to be planted across the U.S."
"Mounting evidence shows damage to animals and humans from unlabeled and untested Frankenfoods. Consumers who ingest GM alfalfa are likely risking their health; since even the USDA's EIS admits that, "acute toxicity in mice was observed."

Autism Numbers Are Rising. The Question is Why?
"Increasing the previous federal estimate of 1 in 150, the new data suggest that 1% of children now exhibit some symptoms of an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a collection of neurological conditions whose symptoms may range from mild social impairment to more serious communication, language and cognitive deficits. The estimate also represents a stunning 57% increase in prevalence since 2002"
http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1948842,00.html

Researchers Discover Genetic Patterns of Autism
"After conducting detailed genetic analyses and comparing the genomes of 996 people affected with autism and 1,287 matched controls, they found that those with ASDs were 20% more likely to have so-called copy number variations — abnormalities in the number of copies — of specific genes. These changes affect about 1% of people in the general population."

"But though the homeless Good Samaritan risked -- and ultimately sacrified -- his life to help a stranger, his kindness was not returned by a single one of the more than 20 people who passed his wounded body on the sidewalk. In fact, the video showed, one man rolled over Tale-Yax but then walked away and another used his cell phone to snap a picture of the dying man."

Wall Street Psychos
Someone who makes and spends 10 or 20 times more money than they need every year walks by a dirty bum mumbling to himself while taking a dump in the street and looks down on him, not even wondering why this man is homeless, dirty, mumbling to himself and why is he shitting in the street. Well, he lives on the street because (thanks in large part to rich assholes like you) he has nowhere else to go. He likely talks to himself because he is nuts and has been ostracized for so long. He is dirty and shitting in the street because no one (especially businesses in the city) will let people like him use their shower or bathrooms. These Wall-Street-Psychos just walk by thinkin their own shit don't stink, desensitized to the needless suffering right in front of their faces. How dare these greedy mother fuckers look down on anyone with their fake status symbols, fake trophy-wives, and their whole fake fuckin plastic existences!

The Hamilton Hustle

2010-06-12T21:20:00.005-05:00

http://didyouknow.org/tendollar
The guy on the US ten-dollar bill is, of course, Alexander Hamilton and he was killed in a duel by Vice President Aaron Burr.

http://www.ttb.gov/public_info/special_feature.shtml
"In addition to revenue and social manipulation, Hamilton had a third reason to favor a whisky tax: It could be a means of augmenting Federal power. According to Hamilton’s recent biographer, Ron Chernow, “Hamilton confessed to Washington an ulterior political motive for this liquor tax: he wanted to lay ‘hold of so valuable a resource of revenue before it was generally preoccupied by the state governments.’ … [H]e wanted to starve the states of revenue and shore up the federal government."

"Hamilton was indeed a singular character of acute understanding, disinterested, honest, and honorable in all private transactions, amiable in society, and duly valuing virtue in private life—yet so bewitched and perverted by the British example as to be under thorough conviction that corruption was essential to the government of a nation." - Thomas Jefferson

"In a 1789 letter to James Madison, Jefferson stated his famous dictum “that the earth belongs in usufruct to the living.” He meant that future generations have a right to receive the benefits of the earth without impairment and, consequently, no generation has a right to impair the benefits to be transmitted to the next one. As an application of this dictum, Jefferson concluded that debt, and particularly the National debt, should impose no obligation for more than 19 years. He believed any part of the debt that remained unpaid after that time should be extinguished—so future generations could inherit the Nation’s assets debt free. If this theory had prevailed, it would have drastically reduced the market value of Government securities, enabling the Government to pay off the debt without resorting to internal taxes, such as the whisky tax. To Hamilton and his Federalist party, Jefferson’s theory was reprehensible and inconsistent with the Constitution’s disapproval of laws “impairing the obligation of contracts.[16]"
"[16] U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 10, first paragraph. As a prohibition, this clause applies only to the States; but it may be taken as a guide for the Federal Government."

Study finds African-American drivers 70 percent more likely to be stopped by police than whites

"According to the new report, black drivers in Kansas City were 60 percent more likely to be stopped than whites, while in St. Louis they were nearly 88 percent more likely to be stopped. In Lee’s Summit, they were about 5.5 times more likely to be pulled over.

Suspicionless Sobriety Checkpoints: A growing threat to individual liberty

"As the "referee" in the U.S. system of government, it is the Supreme Court's job to say when government officials step out-of-bounds."

Why Are DUI Sobriety Checkpoints Constitutional? Attorney Lawrence Taylor explains the constitutionality of DUI roadblocks.
http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/09/921.asp
" Chief Justice Rehnquist began his majority opinion by admitting that DUI sobriety checkpoints do, in fact, constitute a 'seizure' within the language of the Fourth Amendment. In other words, yes, it appears to be a blatant violation of the Constitution. However, he continued, it's only a little one, and something has to be done about the 'carnage' on the highways caused by drunk drivers. The 'minimal intrusion on individual liberties,' Rehnquist wrote, must be "weighed" against the need for -- and effectiveness of -- DUI roadblocks. In other words, the ends justify the means. "
Okay, this guy admits that the roadblocks are NOT legal, doesn't even try to stand up for the constitution, and he doesn't mention anything about finding constitutional alternatives to dui roadblocks. No temporary suspension of our constitutional rights, just a flat out permanent denial of those rights.
Mister Chief Justice how could the ends possibly justify the means when you haven't even weighed all the options? How dare you use the highest ethical seat in the US to undermine the fundamental principles that constitute this nation! You sir are a traitor and have further corrupted our system!

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America:
http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,[71] that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Our system is currently so openly corrupt that it can barely perform it's primary function, to secure our lives, liberties, and ability to pursue happiness. What do you want to do about it?

2010-05-25T02:45:00.010-05:00

Handbook suggests that deviations from 'normality' are disorders
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/26/AR2010022603369.html
"Another danger is that childhood eccentricities, sometimes inextricable from creativity, might be labeled 'disorders' to be 'cured.' If 7-year-old Mozart tried composing his concertos today, he might be diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and medicated into barren normality."

Shy? Or Something More Serious?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/02/AR2007110201767.html
"...large numbers of people swallow daily doses of Paxil, Prozac and Zoloft for conditions that many experts now consider medical problems stemming from a chemical imbalance."
"...just over 67.5 million Americans (23% of Americans) had taken at least one of them in the 15-year period ended in 2002."
JAMA Antidepressant Meta-analysis Reveals 22 Years of Deception
http://www.ahrp.org/cms/content/view/658/94
"...antidepressants are worthless for most of the people for whom they are prescribed."

SSRI Antidepressants Are Not Medicine. Frightening side effects, cover-ups on the record, and no reason to believe they do what they are supposed to.
http://saveyourself.ca/articles/reality-checks/anti-depressants.php
"Results Among 74 FDA-registered studies, 31%, accounting for 3449 study participants, were not published."

Antidepressant Drug Effects and Depression Severity. A Patient-Level Meta-analysis.
http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/short/303/1/47
"Antidepressant medications represent the best established treatment for major depressive disorder, but there is little evidence that they have a specific pharmacological effect relative to pill placebo for patients with less severe depression."

AMERICA'S OVERMEDICATED CHILDREN
http://www.ahrp.org/ahrpspeaks/OvermedUSkids0605.php
"The FDA estimates 11 million antidepressant prescriptions were written in 2003 for under 19 year olds--a 27% increase in 3 years. Drugs used primarily to treat attention deficit/ hyperactivity (ADHD), which remains a controversial 'condition,' increased the most. In 5 to 9 year old children the use of drugs increased 85%, and in preschoolers usage was up 49%.[3] Physicians prescribe mind-altering drugs even as they know that for this age group the developing brain is undergoing extraordinary changes. They acknowledge: 'we have very little information about the long-term impact of treatment with these drugs early in development.'"

Revision to the bible of psychiatry, DSM, could introduce new mental disorders
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/10/AR2010021000009.html
"It not only determines how mental disorders are diagnosed, it can impact how people see themselves and how we see each other,' said Alan Schatzberg, the association's president. 'It influences how research is conducted as well as what is researched. . . . It affects legal matters, industry and government programs."

The diagnostic madness of DSM-V
http://www.slate.com/id/2223479
"High on their list of concerns is the absence of transparency. Last July, Spitzer warned readers of Psychiatric News that the amount of secrecy cloaking the revisions was unprecedented and alarming."
"The DSM also included such gems as caffeine intoxication disorder, mathematics disorder, sibling relational problem, and frotteurism"

Columbia Police Clears Itself of Wrongdoing In SWAT Team Raid
http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/dailyrft/2010/05/columbia_police_clears_itself_of_wrongdoing_swat_raid.php

This SWAT Raid:

Chief: Officers’ actions appropriate. Policies still need review, he says.
http://www.columbiatribune.com/news/2010/may/20/police-conclude-swat-investigation
Hold on there, Chief. In what world is it appropriate for a police SWAT team to break into a family's private home with machine guns, shoot their pets, endanger and traumatize their child, and kidnap the child's father, all based on tips from paid informants about a non-poisonous plant with proven health benefits? "Policies still need review" Understatement of the year award goes to... Chief Kenneth Burton!
He does go on to say: "The investigation answered the questions of whether SWAT members acted according to procedure and whether their actions put the officers, suspect or his family at an unnecessary risk, he said. The answers to both questions is yes" Houston, we have a problem! Who exactly is it that wants these type of violent police actions for non-violent crimes anyway?

http://digits.newsvine.com/_news/2010/05/08/4257580-columbia-swat-team-shoots-family-dogs-with-suspect-wife-and-child-in-the-home
"Officers knew a child was present before the raid, the findings of the investigation say, although Dresner in February said officers were not aware of a 7-year-old boy before entry. The deputy chief said he had not reviewed all of the incident reports before his statement."

Full Police Report Here:
http://drop.io/columbiamopdshootdogs
According to the Police report, Jonathan E. Whitworth was originally charged with Child Endangerment as well during this incident. One look at the video and you can tell who was really endangering a child.

A beacon of hope from this sad situation:
http://blog.norml.org/2010/05/21/columbia-missouri-police-chief-favors-alternatives-to-marijuana-prohibition
"I applaud your effort, I mean, if we could get out of the business I am sure there would be a lot of officers happy to do that."
"I don’t have anything against it except it is against the law."
"We should concentrate on meth or something more serious, but we come across marijuana it is still against the law."
"I am with you on the fight, and I hope you are successful at some point and we will see how that goes."
