London cops beating the shit out of peaceful G20 demonstrators – Boing Boing 4/2/09

Here’s some disgraceful footage of London’s cops beating the shit out of a group of peaceful G20 protestors who are holding their arms in the air, chanting, “This is not a riot.” Look familiar? It’s what the British cops did at the last Climate Camp, too. How much you want to bet that no one involved in the authoritarian response to these peaceful protestors pays any price, because they all offer the lame excuse that an entirely different group of protestors broke some windows at a bank in a different part of town?

Vaccine Expert Reveals What You Should Know Before You Roll Up Your Sleeve  - Prison Planet 7/1/09

A study by the Harvard Medical School of Public Health confirmed that public health officials could convince most people in the U.S. to alter their daily lives, follow government mandates and do as they are told after only a small amount of hyping that a deadly global pandemic was eminent.

People think Big Daddy will take care of them and they don’t have to bother taking care of themselves.

Health Care Bill Will Fund State Vaccine Teams to Conduct ‘Interventions’ in Private Homes - CNSNews 7/16/09

The committee’s official summary of the bill says: “Authorizes a demonstration program to improve immunization coverage. Under this program, CDC will provide grants to states to improve immunization coverage of children, adolescents, and adults through the use of evidence-based interventions. States may use funds to implement interventions that are recommended by the Community Preventive Services Task Force, such as reminders or recalls for patients or providers, or home visits.”
