I’ve made a similar post in the past, but it bears repeating: the vaccine court is compensating cases of “vaccine-induced brain injury”, but only if those cases aren’t labeled as “autism” even though the brain injury results in autism. Bizarre logic that could only be dreamt up by a government lawyer it seems. Here is the paper, published in 2011 in the Pace Environmental Law Review, that looked into it:

Unanswered Questions From the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program: A Review of Compensated Cases of Vaccine-Induced Brain Injury

Amazing piece appearing at the New York Post: Robert Mueller helped Saudi Arabia cover up its role in 9/11 attacks: suit

From getting Saudi officials out of the country in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, to shutting down investigations into Saudi connections with the hijackers, Mueller was allegedly instrumental in turning attention away from Saudi Arabia and aiming it at Iraq, where he lied to Congress about the threat Saddam posed to the US. What a piece of garbage.

I put this question to someone in a conversation recently about the cascading success of marijuana legalization. She, Canadian, early 30’s, and a self-described “socialist”, claimed it as a victory for the Left. “But marijuana legalization means a free market. Doesn’t socialism seek to abolish the free market?” It was “different”, apparently. After some waffling around the issue, it was basically agreed by both of us that marijuana legalization transcends Left and Right. Clearly, both sides champion legalization now, seeing it for the humanitarian miracle that it is. But marijuana legalization itself shows the dichotomy between Left and Right to be entirely false, but also exposes the lack of imagination that both groups have had over the past decades. The “Right” couldn’t imagine a world made better through drug legalization. The “Left” couldn’t either, but extended that distrust for the unseen, uncontrollable forces to every aspect of society. But the success of marijuana legalization rests on the unleashing of those unseen, uncontrollable forces. The ability, however limited at the moment, to open a dispensary or shop, to grow and sell cannabis, is revolutionary. The advocate of liberty asks that people imagine that same process extended to every aspect of society.

Liberty is neither Left nor Right. It is a path out and away from the endless problems that these two warring political camps create for everyone. Liberty means a removal of every obstacle to voluntary interaction between people. It places a strict prohibition only on the use of force. Only voluntary interaction is allowed. Which means we humans must learn the art of persuasion to get our way.

I see new dispensaries opening all the time. It warms the heart. I know that some will succeed and some will fail. It’s entirely up to the customers to whom they will reward with their money and time. This state of affairs is just, fair, simple. And it has the power to change the world.

One more word on those young idealists who claim “socialism”. They have the heart and imagination for the philosophy of liberty that few on the Right appear to have the capacity for, but just haven’t heard it. It’s a philosophy that has to gestate in the mind, if you preach it at someone it won’t stick. They have to work it out for themselves. But when they make the connections, when they see the simple logic of liberty, it sticks permanently. Let’s not write off these young idealists looking for the social philosophy that will lift the human race out of its present plight. They’re the ones that will attach themselves most passionately to the ideal of a free society once they realize its potential. And that potential is being broadcast loud and clear through the example of marijuana legalization.

The secret terrorism watchlists of the post-9/11 era that swept up millions of American citizens in a massive dragnet have finally been ruled unconstitutional in a historic decision. Being placed on these watchlists meant either harassment at the airport by the TSA, or a restriction on flying altogether. It also meant being incessantly snooped on by law enforcement and the lives of those affected were filled with pervasive, and unnecessary, anxiety and fear, dramatically diminishing their quality of life and that of their families.

Millions infected with simian virus 40, tens of thousands crippled from an improperly inactivated live virus, sugar cube vaccines that sent children to an iron lung, and other inconvenient historical tidbits that have been thrown into the memory hole.

There are no depths our government won’t plumb if it means attaining some petty act of revenge against a target country.

Iran’s restraint in the face of repeated acts of war and provocation is admirable.

It’s been my experience that men who talk like this have a greater than average chance of ending up on the receiving end of a beating, rather than the other way around. Nevertheless, this is how Monsanto scientists, including a pediatrician, talk about other human beings when they believe no one else will see it.

Insightful article at The American Conservative: Artificial intelligence will make our forever wars truly forever

Automation on the battlefield has rapidly advanced over the past several decades, with the innocent civilians of the Mideast providing a suitable theater of war to test their tech. It’s not difficult to imagine a point in the near future when the U.S. launches it’s first drone-only war. And from that, it’s fairly easy to imagine a permanent presence of that drone army in whatever conflict zone our government deems necessary.
