Ils ne vous enseignent pas comment penser, ils vous enseignent quoi penser.
On écrivait récemment dans les journaux locaux que la production de cannabis ne s’essoufflait pas. On se félicite d’éradiquer des dizaines de milliers de plants de cannabis qui sont plantés dans les champs d’agriculteurs de la région et de saisir des centaines de kilo de cannabis en vrac, mais il demeure que le constat est décourageant pour eux: « On ne sent pas de baisse de la production sur notre territoire », a déclaré le coordonnateur de la Coalition Stop Cannabis et directeur général de la MRC de Nicolet-Yamaska, Donald Martel. « C’est pourquoi on souhaite mobiliser un maximum de personnes et d’organisations autour de cette problématique ».
L’objectif de la Coalition est de rendre le territoire hostile à la culture du cannabis, nous informe le journal local en question. Selon le directeur de la Coalition, plus les producteurs de cannabis subiront de répression et évolueront dans un milieu hostile à leurs activités, plus ils seront contraints de quitter le territoire. On fait appel à la population et la société en général pour « mettre l’épaule à la roue afin d’obtenir de meilleurs résultats ».
Mais voilà, devant tant d’effort et d’argent déployé sans réussir véritablement à décourager les « mariculteurs », n’y aurait-il pas lieu de questionner ses prémisses et interprétations à propos d’un problème perçu, particulièrement avec l’expérience acquise sur plusieurs décennies allant dans le même sens, démontrant que la guerre à la drogue ne va nulle part? Est-ce que notre expérience avec la prohibition de l’alcool, ayant eu cour aux États-Unis et au Canada il y a moins d’un siècle, fut concluante? Il ne faut pas une longue recherche pour trouver que la réponse est négative et qu’en fait, ce fut une vraie catastrophe. Les gens n’arrêtent pas pour autant de consommer ce qu’ils veulent et vont commencer à faire eux-mêmes leurs produits, ou les acheter d’autres sources, au risque et péril de leur santé et vie. De plus, en rendant une substance illégale, on ne fait que donner davantage de pouvoir et d’argent au crime organisé tout en poussant inévitablement les consommateurs dans leurs bras.
Si les résultats de la guerre contre la drogue sont médiocres, serait-ce parce que quelque part, il y a un problème fondamental avec la perception du dit « problème » et les solutions qui s’y rattachent?
Une guerre à la drogue qui s’apparente à la chasse aux sorcières
Avez-vous déjà remarqué que tout ce à quoi les gouvernements et autorités font la guerre se détériore davantage? Pensez à la guerre contre la pauvreté, la guerre au terrorisme, celle contre la prolifération des armes nucléaires, ou encore la guerre contre le crime organisé. La guerre à la drogue ne diffère en aucun point en ce qui a trait aux résultats: aucune de ces guerres n’a atteint son objectif; bien pire, la situation s’est détériorée chaque fois. Plus on y investit d’argent et qu’on augmente le niveau de répression, plus la situation se dégrade. N’y voyez-vous pas un pattern, une tendance?

War is peace. Ignorance is strength
The Nobel Peace Prize-winner’s latest war is largely secret. On 15 July,
In his latest column for the New Statesman, John Pilger draws on George Orwell's inspiration to describe the Call of Obama: "attractive to liberal sensibilities, if not to the Afghan children he kills".
Barack Obama, winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, is planning another war to add to his impressive record. In
Pfizer to pay $1.3 billion criminal fine for misbranding its drugs
(NaturalNews) In the largest criminal fine ever levied against any drug company in the world, a unit of U.S.-based Pfizer, Inc. was sentenced to pay $1.3 billion in criminal fines and revenue forfeiture. It's all part of a $2.3 billion settlement announced by the Justice Department. The case centers around Pfizer's criminal "off-label marketing" of four drugs, including the painkiller Bextra. After whistleblowers filed lawsuits in three states, the U.S. Justice Department took an interest in the case and prosecuted Pfizer for criminal acts.
In the settlement, Pfizer admitted to a felony crime and agreed to pay $2.3 billion in fines and other fees. The investigation of Pfizer reportedly turned up evidence that Pfizer engaged in kickback payments to doctors for nine drugs, including Viagra and Lipitor.
Part of the reason the penalty against Pfizer was so large is because the company was considered a "repeat offender" in promoting drugs for unapproved uses (which is a violation of federal law).
« A première vue, le Squalène semble être un bon choix d’adjuvant. Produit naturellement dans le foie, le Squalène est un précurseur pour le cholestérol. De plus, le Squalène peut être acheté en magasins bio sous sa forme la plus connue, « l’huile de foie de requin. » Cependant, le Squalène ingéré a un effet complètement différent sur le corps que le Squalène injecté. Quand les molécules de Squalène entrent dans le corps par une injection, même à des concentrations aussi faibles que 10 à 20 parts par milliard, cela peut conduire à des réponses auto-immunes destructrices, telles que l'arthrite et le lupus auto-immuns.
Plusieurs mécanismes ont été avancés pour expliquer cette réaction. Métaboliquement, le Squalène stimule une réaction immune excessive et non spécifique. Plus de deux douzaines d’articles scientifiques, passés en revue par les paires, dans dix laboratoires différents à travers les États-Unis, l'Europe, l’Asie, et l'Australie ont été publiés, documentant le développement de maladies auto-immunes chez les animaux soumis aux adjuvants basés sur le Squalène. Une proposition convaincante sur le pourquoi de ces réactions inclut le concept « de l'imitation moléculaire » dans laquelle un anticorps est créé contre le Squalène dans le MF59 peut interagir avec le Squalène du corps à la surface des cellules humaines. La destruction du Squalène propre au corps peut mener à des maladies auto-immunes débilitantes et liées au système nerveux central. »
« La cancérogénicité, nous (le Dr. Deborah Novicki de Novartis, une autre entreprise pharmaceutique) n'avons fait aucun essai pour la cancérogénicité de l'adjuvant MF59 ou aucun pour nos vaccins préventifs. Nous ne l'avons pas fait et nous ne prévoyons pas de le faire. »
Cette information a été trouvée dans un workshop du FDA sur les adjuvants et les vaccins préventifs et thérapeutiques à base d’adjuvants. Cette citation se trouve à la page 391.

Nurses got sick from the "swine flu" vaccine in Sweden
Yesterday 30 people had been reporting to the authorities in
Even so, Annika Linde, director of The Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control (SMI) manages to spin this into something positive by stating "The vaccine has more side effects than the normal flu vaccine. It is a sign that proves that it gives an effective protection."
Drugmakers, Doctors Rake in Billions Battling H1N1 Flu
Americans are still debating whether to roll up their sleeves for a swine flu shot, but companies have already figured it out: vaccines are good for business. Drug companies have sold $1.5 billion worth of swine flu shots, in addition to the $1 billion for seasonal flu they booked earlier this year. These inoculations are part of a much wider and rapidly growing $20 billion global vaccine market. "The vaccine market is booming," says Bruce Carlson, spokesperson at market research firm Kalorama, which publishes an annual survey of the vaccine industry. "It's an enormous growth area for pharmaceuticals at a time when other areas are not doing so well," he says. As always with pandemic flus, taxpayers are footing the $1.5 billion check for the 250 million swine flu vaccines that the government has ordered so far and will be distributing free to doctors, pharmacies and schools. In addition, Congress has set aside more than $10 billion this year to research flu viruses, monitor H1N1's progress and educate the public about prevention. Drugmakers pocket most of the revenues from flu sales. But some say it's not just drugmakers who stand to benefit. Doctors collect copayments for special office visits to inject shots, and there have been assertions that these doctors actually profit handsomely from these vaccinations. Pharmacies also charge co-payments or full price of about $25 to those without insurance.

FDA Chairman Took $5 Million Donation – “No Conflict of Interest”
A medical supply manufacturer, by the name of Charles Gelman, decides out of the goodness of his heart to give $5 million dollars to the research center. His July donation is 50 times the annual budget of the research center. Mind you this is the same manufacturer that is saying that Bisphenol A is safe. Even though scientist who have published their research in the “Journal of the American Medical Association,” report that it is linked to cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
The Flu Pandemic
The existence of the influenza vaccine ... may give us a sense of false security when it comes to the possibility of a pandemic outbreak of influenza. In fact, the flu vaccine must be reformulated each year to keep pace with the newest variants of this fast-mutating virus. The recipe for making the flu vaccine is simple. Take the current year's variant of the influenza virus, throw it into a stew with a strain of virus that leads to rapid proliferation. Incorporate the fast-growing strain into its own genes and start replicating it. From there, it's an easy matter to take those plentiful viruses and attenuate them for a flu vaccine. But the scientists who must determine what virus will cause the next year's illness run a high chance of being wrong. Some observers have put the odds of success at no better than 50-50. Even when they are right, the vaccine lasts only as long as that year's strain. Experts thought they saw big-league trouble coming in February 1976, when a few cases of severe swine flu broke out among young military recruits in
Note: This article also discusses how new, intensified farming techniques for chickens, pigs, and ducks are the prime breeding ground for viruses which spread around the world. A powerful CBS 60 Minutes clip on the 1976 swine flu scare is available here. The intrepid 60 Minutes team shows how greed and blatant corruption led to the death of hundreds and paralysis of thousands as a direct result of the vaccine developed that year, while only one person died from the flu.

In late July, the CDC abruptly advised states to stop testing for H1N1 flu, and stopped counting individual cases. The rationale given for the CDC guidance to forego testing and tracking individual cases was: why waste resources testing for H1N1 flu when the government has already confirmed there's an epidemic?
Some public health officials privately disagreed with the decision to stop testing and counting, telling CBS News that continued

Wall Street On Track To Award Record Pay
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125547830510183749.html
Major U.S. banks and securities firms are on pace to pay their employees about $140 billion this year -- a record high that shows compensation is rebounding despite regulatory scrutiny of Wall Street's pay culture. [Executives] at 23 top investment banks, hedge funds, asset managers and stock and commodities exchanges can expect to earn even more than they did the peak year of 2007, according to an analysis of securities filings for the first half of 2009 and revenue estimates through year-end by The Wall Street Journal. Total compensation and benefits at the publicly traded firms analyzed by the Journal are on track to increase 20% from last year's $117 billion -- and to top 2007's $130 billion payout. This year, employees at the companies will earn an estimated $143,400 on average, up almost $2,000 from 2007 levels. The growth in compensation reflects Wall Street firms' rapid return to precrisis revenue levels. Even as the economy is sluggish and unemployment approaches 10%, these firms have been boosted by a stronger stock market, thawing credit market, a resurgence in deal making and the continuing effects of various government aid programs. So far, regulators and lawmakers have focused on making sure pay practices discourage excessive risk-taking, leaving to companies the question of how much is too much.

Public must learn to 'tolerate the inequality' of bonuses, says Goldman Sachs vice-chairman

The Rich Have Stolen The Economy
Bloomberg reports that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s closest aides earned millions of dollars a year working for Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and other Wall Street firms. Bloomberg reports that none of these aides faced Senate confirmation. Yet, they are overseeing the handout of hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer funds to their former employers.
The gifts of billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money provided the banks with an abundance of low cost capital that has boosted the banks’ profits, while the taxpayers who provided the capital are increasingly unemployed and homeless.
JPMorgan Chase announced that it has earned $3.6 billion in the third quarter of this year.

Government Propaganda To Infest Network TV Shows
An insidious brainwashing program set to be launched next week will “organically” weave the government’s political propaganda into prime time network television shows, with positive talking points about Obama’s environmental, bailout, health care and “servitude” agenda being seamlessly integrated into the content of dramas, reality shows and comedies.

U.S. District Court Judge Jeffery White disagreed and ruled on September 24 that the feds had to release the names of the telecom employees that contacted the Justice Department and the White House to lobby for a get-out-of-court-free card.
“Here, the telecommunications companies communicated with the government to ensure that Congress would pass legislation to grant them immunity from legal liability for their participation in the surveillance,” White wrote. “Those documents are not protected from disclosure because the companies communicated with the government agencies “with their own … interests in mind,” rather than the agency’s interests.

Because They Failed to Take Away Our Guns, They're Coming After Our Ammo
It's called the Ammunition Accountability Act (AAA). You've got to love the name. It sounds so noble. But remember the great gun writer, Mel Tappan's, universal rule of law: "The nobler the language, the more nefarious the purpose of any legal instrument."
It's been proposed in 18 states and, with some minor difference among them, here's what it will do once enacted:
* Each box of ammo you buy will have a unique number.
* Each round in the box will have a laser-etched number on the base of the bullet and on the inside of the cartridge case that corresponds to the number on the box.
* Each time you buy ammo you will have to show ID with your name, date of birth, driver's license, etc., to be recorded so the box will be tied to you.
