There’s a much deeper, more profound point to be made here as well: that the prohibition of prostitution and many drugs has directly led to the proliferation of these diseases, including, I believe, the present under-reported venereal disease epidemic sweeping the country. Legalize prostitution, legalize many of the drugs that the Drug War has been built upon, and these diseases will virtually disappear, and so will the excuse for another vaccine. Neither prostitution nor drug use is the problem. The problem is the existence of a black market.

H/t Vaccine Re-education Discussion Forum

Another story, albeit from last November, of a man developing Guillain-Barre Syndrome days after receiving flu shot.

Know why you never seem to hear about vaccine injury? It’s only covered on local news, and never picked up by the major national networks. But the local stories are there, it just takes some digging.

It’s important to understand just how unjust an experience many of our soldiers have had during their time in the military. Killing, being killed, a prolonged fear of being killed, seeing killing up close, rampant sexual assault, all these comprise the true military experience never to be mentioned by the recruiting officer on campus, or by the organizers of “military appreciation” events at your kid’s elementary school. They won’t talk about the coffins returning home, or the emotionally and mentally broken shells that are returned to civilian life and proceed to live a waking nightmare. There will also be no mention of their potential, unwitting inclusion in secret human experimentation, of which there is ample evidence. Here are just a few articles on the sordid treatment of soldiers as lab rats:

NPR: Veterans used in secret experiments sue military for answers

ProPublica: The breakthrough: Used as ‘guinea pigs’ by the military, then discarded

Edgewood Arsenal human experiments

CCHR: Military drug testing–pharmaceutical experiments run on our troops?

Live Science: The 10 most outrageous military experiments

This is only a small portion of the information and the incidents that have occurred, and are surely still occurring, within the United States’ imperial army. Our government is reckless in the extreme with the lives and health of the troops, as has been shown more recently in soldiers’ exposure to the “burn pits” of Iraq and Afghanistan. These were massive, burning waste dumps, where everything was thrown in. And who did the throwing? Soldiers, completely exposed to the fumes of the toxic pits. Those fumes led to cancer or other devastating illnesses for many troops, including Joe Biden’s son, Beau, who died of brain cancer a few years back.

It is a hollow, meaningless act to pledge support for troops on one day each year, and do no more. They deserve care and attention as to where they are shipped off to, and whether they will risk their lives for a worthy cause. That is what they deserve, but not what they receive. We should debate whether the border between the Korea’s is worth the life of a U.S. soldier, or Turkey or Israel’s border, for that matter. I say it’s not. A military is created and maintained to defend it’s own country, not to be sent abroad, stepping over tripwires, and running the risk of instigating a conflict thousands of miles away.

Veteran’s Day, once known as ‘Armistice Day’, has become nothing more than a recruitment advertisement for future veterans of America’s endless wars overseas. What once was a day to repeat “never again” and to make the public understand why, it has become a day to exalt the permanent invasions, occupations, and regime changes that our government now engages in. It needs warm bodies, so it begins promoting war at the earliest age possible, priming kids for “adventure”.  I greatly appreciated having a sixth grade teacher who made it clear to us students that war isn’t adventurous. When you sign up with the military, you sell your soul to an institution that will tell you when, how, and whom to kill. And you may very well be killed in the process, or permanently maimed. Or you will see killing and maiming at such a personal level, get a front-row seat to the Grim Reaper’s work, watch young men go limp before your eyes, and you find yourself entering a nightmare that will never end. You will find that everything you’ve seen plays like a movie on repeat, and that’s all you see until you decide one day that you’ve had enough of the nightmare.

Veterans, with permanent wounds inflicted both on the inside and out, find that no support exists for them. They then find that they’ve developed inoperable cancer. They’re handed a cocktail of psychotropic drugs, but are restricted from using cannabis or psychedelics, two substances that have actually cured or mitigated their internal nightmare.

That’s why veterans kill themselves at twice the rate of other Americans, or set themselves on fire in front of VA hospitals, or “go crazy” and kill others. “He just snapped” say everyone around in the aftermath.  That snapping happened long ago, on the other side of the world, in an unnecessary war allowed to be embarked upon by an indifferent public.

Let’s quit with this vulgar valorization of war. These veterans have suffered, and are now suffering, due to our indifference, to our careless disregard with what our government is doing abroad, what wars our government launches in our name. We engage in the most idiotic of rituals: the mindless Pledge of Allegiance, the hollow “thank you for your service”.

Neither Iraq, nor Syria, nor Afghanistan, was worth an American life nor an American dollar. Those wars accomplished nothing other than pain and death. When the vets come home from these war zones, we treat them the same that we treat them before they were shipped off: complete indifference. They get words, discounts at restaurants, special parking spots, and so much other ephemeral BS, as petty tokens, then we wash our hands of the entire situation. We give ourselves a solid pat on the back and move on.

We would better serve our veterans by paying attention to how our government creates them through reckless, endless war. It’s shameful to think of the way this entire nation whooped and cheered on the wars that created our current veteran class. The same philistines that cheered for more war are the same people who now clap for them in parades, thank them for their service, dutifully stand at attention for the Pledge, and thus ensuring that the system that creates these veterans will be that much harder to dismantle.

We would do some semblance of justice to our veterans, and make Veterans Day meaningful, by shielding future generations from suffering the same fate.

“When I was over here I never got to vote. I left my arm in my coat. My mom she died and never wrote. Now I’m home. And I’m blind. And I’m broke. What is next?”

Attorneys for Tulsi demand a full retraction and apology from Hillary over what they are calling defamation.

In what was clearly an attempt to derail Tulsi’s campaign, Hillary’s demential smear actually gave it a huge boost, and provoked widespread condemnation of Hillary’s comments. It will more than likely be seen as the pivotal moment of Tulsi’s campaign, the one that brought her to the foreground and propelled her to the front of the race.

Stripped of all the “we’re fighting terrorism” talk, the U.S. is behaving just like every other empire in history: invade a sovereign nation, attempt to topple its government, steal it’s natural resources.

Following Bill Maher’s delicate-in-the-extreme discussion of vaccine safety with medical doctor Jay Gordon, and subsequent outcry from the predictable corners, one wonders: why is the topic so controversial? Vaccines are a pharmaceutical product, made by the same corporations that have, in the past, knowingly put onto the market dangerous drugs that ended up killing thousands of people. Vioxx, for instance. But while we can criticize or question the safety of these other drugs, vaccine safety is somehow taboo. This is crazy. Dangerously crazy.

We know that, unlike any other consumer product, vaccine manufacturers are shielded from lawsuits over injuries stemming from their product.

We know that, through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, over $4 billion has been paid out to victims of vaccine injury.

We also know, through a Harvard Pilgrim study, that only 1% of vaccine injuries are ever even reported as such.

Thanks to this 2011 study published in the Pace law journal, we also know, despite claims that vaccines don’t cause autism, that the vaccine court has been compensating cases of vaccine-induced brain injury for years.

We know, after taking a moment to review the history of infectious disease in the 20th century, that vaccines played no part in the dramatic decline in infectious disease mortality in the first half of the 20th century. By deduction alone, we know that vaccines didn’t save the world, and aren’t currently saving the world. Sanitation, specifically water purification, plumbing, and food standards, are protecting us, and maintaining herd immunity. Not vaccines.

We know that the amount of aluminum contained in the set of shots given before an infant is 2 months old is unbelievably reckless. I wrote this in an earlier article:

“The disturbing aspect of the use of aluminum as an adjuvant is that it has never been safety-tested for use in pediatric vaccines, despite the well-documented risks of injected aluminum, such as its role in causing dialysis-associated encephalopathy syndrome, also known as “dialysis dementia”, among individuals who are given dialysis fluid contaminated with aluminum. The injected aluminum bypasses the liver and gastrointestinal tract, which filters out any aluminum consumed incidentally, and goes straight into the bloodstream.

A 1997 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, “Aluminum Neurotoxicity in Preterm Infants Receiving Intravenous-Feeding Solutions”, found that any amount greater than 4 to 5 micrograms (mcg) per kilogram of body weight per day of aluminum received intravenously in preterm infants would result in significant negative effects for mental development later in life.

The Hepatitis B vaccine, administered on the very first day of life, contains 250 mcg of aluminum.  At age 2 months, a baby receives four shots containing aluminum: Hep B (250 mcg), DTap (625 mcg), PCV (125 mcg), and Hib (225 mcg). The combined total amounts to 1,225 mcg of aluminum injected in a single doctor’s visit.

The anthrax vaccine BioVaxx, given to Gulf War soldiers who later developed what is now known as Gulf War Syndrome, has been studied for its neurotoxic effects in mice. In the study, “Aluminum Adjuvant Linked to Gulf War Illness Induces Motor Neuron Death in Mice”, the vaccine, which contained 830 mcg of aluminum hydroxide, was administered to mice that subsequently developed “significant cognitive deficits” and “significant motor neuron loss”. A separate study, ‘Aluminum hydroxide injections lead to motor deficits and motor neuron degeneration’, published in the Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, reached the same conclusion after injecting mice with the aluminum adjuvant.”

I should also note that the much-hyped HPV vaccine contains a similar amount of aluminum hydroxide that was contained in Biovaxx.

This is an insane state of affairs, and one that would not be tolerated if it were any other consumer product. But because the topic is vaccines, it becomes taboo. We shouldn’t even question their safety, how dare we? That’s the prevailing attitude, but one that is rapidly weakening. The teflon sheen is wearing thin, as greater numbers of people raise their eyebrows at the sheer number of injuries being reported. Usually anything that can’t withstand criticism, and that relies on censorship for its power, is already bankrupt. Criticism and debate make everything better. It would make vaccines better. The industry might change, which would be uncomfortable for the industry, but if it can’t stand on it’s own merits, if it can’t make an actual case for its product, then it deserves to change. Artificially suppressing public opinion, squashing debate, will foster even greater distrust in the public officials engaged in it. A consumer product that has the ability to paralyze, or kill, deserves a serious debate over safety. Not censorship.

While we as a nation often indulge in mindless military worship, we seem to turn a blind eye to the plight of these real flesh and blood human beings who are suffering daily in the military. An example of that immense suffering was recently laid bare by a report from the Pentagon Inspector General, which found that the sexual assault that is rampant within the military is more likely to result in PTSD than combat. This is a travesty, and all those who purport to “support the troops” should be outraged at the suffering endured by the men and women who enlist.

I should also note that among our veterans, another class of soldier that our government ignores, the suicide rate is steadily climbing.

Almost $1 trillion is spent on the military each year. The well-being of the actual people that comprise it should take priority over any new weapons contract or overseas regime-change war.

Great, yet alarming, interview, with Peter Breggin by the great Del Bigtree:

One comment related to Dr. Breggin’s discussion: Americans have settled into a habit of always looking to government to fix problems, or protect us or our children, and we are reaping the fruits of that devil’s bargain. Because, if we ask the government for protection, it will happily oblige, and proceed to bring in industry after industry to do the “protecting”. This mass abdication of parental responsibility, this naive faith that government could possibly protect us from everything, has, perversely, led to a situation where our children are far less safe than they would have been if we as parents began acting like parents. Government can’t protect our kids from dangerous consumer products, or disgusting music or movies, or from the worst aspects of the internet. Only we can do that. It doesn’t even take that much effort, but it’s effort that must be made. Instead of dumping our children in the middle of unfiltered pop culture without giving them any frame of reference, we could guide them and protect them from it. The notion of protecting our kids is now frowned upon and labeled “helicopter parenting”, but how many of today’s generation understand that they didn’t get nearly enough guidance while growing up during the rise of the internet and the proliferation of so much pop culture garbage? If our children are harmed, whether psychologically or physically as a result of exposure to this environment of unfiltered, gutter pop culture or bad food or whatever, it’s not the government’s fault for failing to protect them. It is ours.
