Stripper, drugs, guns

A 67-year-old federal judge’s wild relationship with a stripper started with a lap dance, prosecutors said, and quickly escalated into escapades of prostitution and gun-toting drug deals for cocaine and prescription pills.

U.S., UK raise terrorism threat level in Europe

Terrorism has become a sort of screen created by policymakers in Washington … It is fabricated to keep the population afraid and insecure, and to justify what the United States wishes to do globally.

The United States and Britain warned their citizens on Sunday of an increased risk of terrorist attacks in Europe, with Washington saying al Qaeda might target transport infrastructure.

US apologizes for ’40s syphilis study in Guatemala

WASHINGTON – American scientists deliberately infected prisoners and patients in a mental hospital in Guatemala with syphilis 60 years ago, a recently unearthed experiment that prompted U.S. officials to apologize Friday and declare outrage over “such reprehensible research.” However, The Tuskegee Syphilis Study is one of the most horrendous examples of research carried out in disregard of basic ethical principles of conduct. The publicity surrounding the study was one of the major influences leading to the codification of protection for human subjects.

In 1928, the director of medical services for the Julius Rosenwald Fund, a Chicago-based charity, approached the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) to consider ways to improve the health of African Americans in the South. At the time, the PHS had just finished a study of the prevalence of syphilis among black employees of the Delta Pine and Land Company of Mississippi. About 25% of the sample of over 2000 had tested positive for syphilis.

The PHS and the Rosenwald fund collaborated in treating these individuals. Subsequently, the treatment program was expanded to include five additional counties in the southern U.S.: Albemarle County, Virginia; Glynn County, Georgia; Macon County, Alabama; Pitt County, North Carolina; and Tipton County, Tennessee (Jones, 1981).

During the set-up phase of the treatment program, the Great Depression began. The Rosenwald Fund was hit hard and had to withdraw its support. Without the Rosenwald Fund, the PHS did not have the resources to implement treatment.

During this period, there was a debate occurring in health circles about possible racial variation in the effects of syphilis. Dr. Taliaferro Clark of the PHS suggested that the project could be partially “salvaged” by conducting a prospective study on the effects of untreated syphilis on living subjects. Clark’s suggestion was adopted.

In the beginning stages of the project, the PHS enlisted the support of the Tuskegee Institute. Since the Tuskegee Institute had a history of service to local African Americans, its participation increased the likelihood of the “success” of the experiment. In return, Tuskegee Institute received money, training for its interns, and employment for its nurses. In addition, the PHS recruited black church leaders, community leaders, and plantation owners to encourage participation.

At the time of the project, African Americans had almost no access to medical care. For many participants, the examination by the PHS physician was the first health examination they had ever received. Along with free health examinations, food and transportation were supplied to participants. Thus, it was not difficult to recruit African American men as participants in the study. Burial stipends were used to get permission from family members to perform autopsies on study participants (Jones, 1981).

While study participants received medical examinations, none were told that they were infected with syphilis.

Lost Forever(the power of outsourcing)

We’ve entered a era where the United States will see more frequent recessions than anyone is used to,(lost of jobs)
The business elite in America are greedy and ruthless. The interests of the rich in America are linked to those of the rich in other nations, it is a corrupting process that keeps wages low and profits high all over the world. Big business in America, as in other democracies, owns politicians. In fact both Democrats and Republicans are beholden to the wealthy.

Supply and Demand(DEA seize drug-smuggling submarine)

There are good reasons why The global drug trade is controlled and run by the intelligence agencies. The major pharmaceutical companies are big backers of the Drug War… It’s not that they don’t want us on drugs – they just want us on theirs. The demand for drugs is the engine of the trafficking problem. We will not solve the problem. It doesn’t matter how much we work against the trafficking of drugs, how many lives we lose. It doesn’t matter how great our effort, the problem will be there. The consumption of drugs is the real problem.

Michael Steele says Afghanistan….

Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele says Afghanistan is “a war of Obama’s choosing” and the conflict “is not something the United States has actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in,” comments that drew an immediate rebuke from Democrats and a call from at least one Republican for him to resign.
Mr Steele,stop hating – You F**king know that our government is like a restaurant with only one dish. They’ve got a set of Republican waiters on one side and a set of Democratic waiters on the other side. But no matter which set of waiters brings you the dish, the legislative grub is prepared in the same kitchen….What you need to do is shut the hell up……B**ch!!!!!!!

AMERICAN GREED

Federal health officials pushed five vaccine manufacturers to quickly produce a vaccine. They wanted a lot of it. About a quarter of the swine flu vaccine produced for the U.S. public has expired — meaning that a whopping 40 million doses worth about $260 million are being written off as trash. Why produce so much? The problem is greed. Corporate profits have become more important than honor and integrity.

This is it.

President Barack Obama on Thursday blamed immigration policy gridlock on “political posturing and special interest wrangling.”
Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl told Fox News Channel. “It’s our job to secure the border, whether or not we end up passing so-called comprehensive immigration reform.” THIS IS IT! No ruling class voluntarily cedes power to the class that is below it. On the contrary, it is willing to unleash, in the form of police, army, and paramilitary gangs, the utmost violence when it feels that it can no longer maintain power through some degree of consent of the oppressed.

WEED vs ALCOHOL

Marijuana is much less addictive than alcohol, with just nine percent of users becoming dependent, as opposed to 15 percent for booze. And marijuana is much less toxic. Heavy drinking is well-documented to damage the brain and liver, and to increase the risk of many types of cancer. Marijuana, on the other hand, has never caused a medically documented overdose death, and scientists are still debating whether even heavy marijuana use causes any permanent harm at all

Russian Spy Ring

The world does not work the way we have been led to believe – by our mainstream media, by our politicians, by our corporations, by our financial institutions, by our military, by our schools. We are bombarded daily with so much misinformation, disinformation, propaganda, half-truths, and outright lies, that it takes a persistent individual to sort through the fog of information to find the truth.
When the media wants to excite viewers,They come up with some bulls**t story and broadcasts it everywhere.
