After 40-year ban, U.S. starts exporting crude oil

The first freely-traded shipments of U.S. crude are symbolic of the country's newfound role as a leading producer of oil. America's entry into the world market can also be viewed with relief by those worried about potential supply disruptions. After all, many big oil producers are located in volatile parts of the world susceptible to geopolitical shocks.
"The fact that producers have free access to the global market will make it easier for U.S. supply to respond to disruptions around the world," said Jason Borduff, a former energy adviser to President Obama who is currently a professor at Columbia University.
America officially banned exports in 1975. It came two years after an OPEC oil embargo that banned oil sales to the U.S. had sent gas prices skyrocketing. Newspaper photographs of long lines of cars outside of gas stations became a common and worrisome image.
Fast forward 40 years and the world has changed drastically, with booming U.S. oil production from the shale revolution creating an epic supply glut that recently sent oil prices below $30 a barrel.

Hillary Clinton’s email defense just hit a major bump in the road

For months, Hillary Clinton and her presidential campaign have stuck to a consistent story line when faced with allegations of classified information on the private server she used exclusively as secretary of state: She was the victim of an overzealous intelligence community bent on categorizing information as top secret or classified when it was, in fact, neither.
That defense hit a major snag on Friday when the State Department announced that it, too, had found “top secret” information on Clinton’s server — 22 emails across seven separate emails chains. The information, the State Department said, was so secret that those emails would never be released to the public.

The Clintons’ political legacy of dishonesty

When Donald Trump, Ben Carson and other political outsiders first denounced political correctness, they instantly struck a nerve. They were promising to peel back the mushy language that government and so-called sophisticates use to conceal simple truths.
I was hardly alone in liking the vow of honesty, and as Trump and Carson rose in the early polls, their rivals, the media and voters got into the act. Denouncing political correctness quickly became routine and is now the leading ­cliché of the campaign.
Alas, that makes it part of the problem it was meant to solve.
Look at it this way: Accusing someone of being politically correct is the politically correct way of saying they are lying. Let’s cut to the chase and just say it, for God’s sake!
That urge came over me as I watched Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, along with Jeb Bush, ­argue over each other’s immigration flip-flops during last week’s GOP debate. Because Fox moderators used videos to demonstrate the differences between where the candidates once stood and where they stand, the truth was obvious, yet none of the three ­rivals dared say it.

Things in General.

 
This is an interesting website.  It is called the Pharma Death Clock.  Data sources are included.  http://pharmadeathclock.com/  Consider this disturbing fact.  Pharmaceutical medicine kills more people than all acts of war, terrorism, gun violence and murder COMBINED.

Big Pharma's efforts help bring socialized medicine to the US.   Quote: "For those free market purists who say no drug company should be forced to sell their drugs at a lower price than the market demands, I have some sobering information: The U.S. drug market is heavily skewed in favor of the pharmaceutical industry and hasn’t been free for decades. For example, even if we manufacture a drug in the states, once we’ve sent it abroad, it’s gone for good. Why? Because it’s illegal to import drugs, even drugs we already made. Needless to say, Pharma loves this, because it artificially decreases the supply of drugs, allowing them to hold Americans hostage to whatever price they want to charge. This is a much bigger violation of free market principles than 340B, which represents just two percent of the $374 billion American drug market."      http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/mytheosholt/2016/01/26/draft-n2109855/page/full


This item is a logical follow on to the previous item.   http://alternative-doctor.com/problems-with-science/medical-errors/?

This is a prime example of leftist elitists who use taxpayer money to pursue their personal, mostly unethical, ambitions.  And, it should stop and stop now.   http://www.erickontheradio.com/2015/11/why-does-global-warming-only-turn-muslims-into-terrorists/?

Big pharmaceuticals want to have the right to say who should be provided their products and not have to obtain FDA approval.  While the FDA is already largely an extension of the pharmaceutical industry they do not want even them to impede their marketing efforts.  What do you think?    http://www.medicine.news/2016-01-05-big-pharma-thinks-fda-is-a-joke.html

This item does a pretty good job of showing a possible link between political correctness and illogical behavior/victimhood of so many.  Quote: "The current official list of mental disorders hovers at 300. That’s 300—separately defined, treatable, and covered by insurance plans.  On a cultural level, this means the population is being tuned to the idea that they are vulnerable and at high risk. The right trigger at the right moment, a slight change in brain-chemical balance, and there it is: a disorder, with a title, a professional diagnosis, and the need for treatment.  This cultural programming—no surprise—has been a major factor in influencing people to believe they are victims. The obsessive focus on politically correct words that could offend and traumatize is, in reality, an extension of the psychiatric matrix.  A cascade of propaganda has been unleashed around the notion that people are helpless; they can’t rise above “triggering”; they must be attended to and given special consideration, even if their needs interfere with the interests of those who aren’t affected by “insensitive language.”"   https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2015/12/04/the-psychiatric-matrix-creates-the-politically-correct-victim/

We have reviewed a number of items detailing the destructive efforts ongoing by Monsanto.  Now we know more about what their contribution to the declining bee population will mean to us.   Quote: "Wild bees are disappearing in some of the nation's most crucial agricultural areas – a phenomenon that may have devastating effects on crops such as blueberries, almonds and apples."  And, "One thing that is clear is the fact that most, if not all, of the factors contributing to the decline of wild bee populations are directly caused by humans, which is tragically ironic, since – as many have pointed out, including Albert Einstein – if the bees completely disappear, so will we.   http://www.naturalnews.com/052563_bee_colonies_food_collapse_population_decline.html

Quote: "You probably want to know what’s actually in what you’re eating, right? Of course you do. That’s probably why you read the ingredients label. But even if you’re making responsible choices, there still might be more to that meal than you realize. There’s a movement that’s trying to keep you in the dark about genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), not to mention a host of other nasties in your food. You’ll want to stick around while I tell you seven things that you should really know about GMOs."    http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/7-things-know-gmos/

In the last Science item sent you I provided some disparaging remarks about Bill Nye (Science Guy).  Now there is even more reason to distrust him and to not believe anything he has to say.  He has apparently sold out what little integrity he had left to Monsanto.    http://www.naturalnews.com/052503_Bill_Nye_Monsanto_corporate_scientific_fraud.html

I have never paid much attention to this guy but what little I have made me think he seemed too much like the science guy (Bill Nye) for me.  Both come across more as showmen than honest to goodness scientists.  Given this article, assuming the author has his facts right, maybe the two are really more alike than not.   http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2015/12/21/scientists-who-are-actually-really-stupid-1-neil-degrasse-tyson/   Looks like someone else thinks Bill Nye is a joke, too.   http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/01/19/scientists-actually-really-stupid-2-bill-nye/

George Burns

Climate Change.

Proponents on both sides of the climate change debate need to read this excellent, well reasoned discussion.  Quote: "Climate scientists are usually clear in their definitions, but that precision tends to get lost in popular discourse. To say that global warming is a fact does not, standing alone, mean that we have to accept a particular causation of that trend. Following from that, we must acknowledge that the climate has changed quite radically through the millennia, and that equally is beyond dispute. Climate change of some scale has happened, is happening, and will happen, regardless of any human activity. The issue today is identifying and assessing the human role in accelerating that process."    http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/history-and-the-limits-of-the-climate-consensus/

As most people know not all scientists agree with global warming alarmist scientists.  This item provides an example. Quote: "49 former NASA scientists and astronauts sent a letter to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden last week admonishing the agency for it’s role in advocating a high degree of certainty that man-made CO2 is a major cause of climate change while neglecting empirical evidence that calls the theory into question."    http://www.cfact.org/2012/04/10/astronauts-and-scientists-send-letter-to-nasa-stop-global-warming-advocacy/?

This esteemed scientist offers cogent remarks that counter the alarmists whose record and use of un-validated models are proven failures and not worthy of supporting policy decisions.   http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/01/climate_change_the_burden_of_proof.html

Here is an item suggesting that volcanic activity is a more serious threat than anything man can do to affect the climate.  Quote:  "In a scientific report published in 2015, experts at the European Science Foundation concluded that large volcanic eruptions posed the greatest risk to human survival – greater, in fact, that an asteroid collision with earth, human activity leading to climate change and nuclear war."   http://www.wnd.com/2016/01/yes-its-really-volcano-season-say-scientists/

This is a powerful retort to two MIT scientists who challenged a critical piece written by Freeman Dyson in the wake of the recent Paris Climate change summit.  I certainly cannot claim to understand the science discussed in this piece and questions asked by the author of the two MIT scientists but I get the gist of the points being made.  An interesting read in any case.   http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/01/more_misrepresentation_on_climate.html  

For those who still believe climate change is scientific, not only that but "settled science", read this.  It is an assessment of the Paris agreement reached at the recent "climate" summit.  What you will learn is that it is indeed a socialistic elitists endeavor to enslave the globe to a centralized socialistic government based on Marxists principles.  The agreement says it is about saving the earth from human induced harm but its real purpose is to turn the world into a communist utopia.  Quote: "To those complaining that the lack of mandatory emissions targets means that the Agreement does nothing concrete to combat GHG emissions, I can only say "Good morning, and welcome to reality!"  No, Virginia, Al Gore does not believe polar bears are stranded on ice floes.  Ban Ki-moon does not believe climate change causes Islamic fanaticism.  No one ever believed that manmade CO2 could cause the Earth to wobble on its axis.  And the U.N. Conference of the Parties on Climate Change neither believes that it can prevent the global mean temperature from rising 1.5 °C nor has any intention of seeking such a delusional goal." http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/12/global_tyranny_just_getting_warmed_up.html

This is a sensible response to the nonsense EPA's "...2012 Proposed Federal Plan and Model Rules for the Clean Power Plan, as issued by EPA and published in the Federal Register: 80 FR 65979-80." http://www.cfact.org/2016/01/14/cfact-to-epa-scrap-your-dirty-clean-power-plan/?

At this link are charts that depict temperature data as measured by satellites for the past 37 years.  These data are more accurate than randomly distributed land based collection sites and certainly more accurate than manmade computer models. (See next item)  The charts reveal that the earth has not been warming for some time.  Quote: "UAH v6.0 (University of Alabama Huntsville satellite) data for November were released a couple of days ago.  Here are updated graphs for various regions showing the furthest back one can go to show a zero or negative trend (less than +0.01C/ 100 years) in lower tropospheric temperatures.   For the second month of the climb towards the El Nino peak, there is still NO pause in the Northern Hemisphere trend.  However, in some regions the pause has lengthened.  Note: The satellite record commences in December 1978.  The entire satellite record is now 37 years long- 444 months."    http://www.climatedepot.com/2015/12/17/satellites-show-no-global-warming-for-18-12-years-no-n-pole-warming-for-nearly-14-years-no-s-pole-warming-for-37-years/    Just more proof that proclamations that the earth is warming at the recent Paris Climate Summit are purposeful lies uttered by dishonest partisans with an agenda having nothing to do with the climate.  Facts refute the lies.

More studies coming out with bad news for the Climate Change advocates.  Quote: "The only reason AGW theory became fashionable in the first place was because, for a period, there seemed to be a very distinct correlation between rising temperatures and rising levels of man-made CO2. If – as seems to be becoming increasingly evident – those rising temperatures were, at best, exaggerated by dodgy scientists and, at worst, faked, then what we have is the biggest case of fraud in world history.  And there are so many people with vested interests in this fraud – even newspaper editors – that when presented with the evidence, a lot of them really would prefer not to know…"    http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/12/21/study-noaa-overestimated-us-warming-50/

Here is a report of another study that suggests fraud has been committed.  Quote: "The way we measure global temperature is once again facing scrutiny for over-estimating the planet’s warming trends. Our government homogenizes weather data so that all nearby weather stations are all singing the same tune. It’s done to weed out bad stations or failing weather equipment. We discovered such a thing earlier this year when we found that perhaps the nation’s most politically iconic weather station—Washington DC’s Reagan National Airport—was reading temperatures that were far too hot to be plausible."    http://townhall.com/columnists/patrickjmichaels/2015/12/29/homogenized-us-warming-trend-may-be-grossly-exaggerated-n2097972/page/full

This study details the faults with ground based temperature data collection.  Quote: "Lead author Anthony Watts said of the study: “The majority of weather stations used by NOAA to detect climate change temperature signal have been compromised by encroachment of artificial surfaces like concrete, asphalt, and heat sources like air conditioner exhausts. This study demonstrates conclusively that this issue affects temperature trend and that NOAA’s methods are not correcting for this problem, resulting in an inflated temperature trend. It suggests that the trend for U.S. temperature will need to be corrected.” He added: “We also see evidence of this same sort of siting problem around the world at many other official weather stations, suggesting that the same upward bias on trend also manifests itself in the global temperature record”.    http://www.cfact.org/2015/12/18/study-noaas-u-s-temperature-data-too-warm/

The alarmist appear to be changing the facts to make Climate Change fit their theories.  http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/15/climate-alarmists-invent-new-excuse-the-satellites-are-lying/   It gets worse.  It is sad that science has become a tool to be manipulated to fit the desires of those with an agenda.   http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/14/global-warming-saves-the-world/

Regarding Global Warming this scientist who is a Nobel laureate says to Obama, "Excuse me, Mr. President, but you're wrong...dead wrong."   http://cnsnews.com/news/article/kathleen-brown/nobel-prize-winning-physicist-obama-dead-wrong-global-warming-0

Al Gore should be ashamed of the big part he has played in inflicting untold damage to our nation and across the globe.  But, my guess he feels no shame whatever.  He has been laughing all the way to the bank.   http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/business/julia-seymour/2016/01/25/5-ways-liberal-media-devoted-decade-gores-climate-apocalypse   He was rich when he started his Global Warming alarmism scheme.  Thanks to his efforts he is now much richer than he was when he started.  And the world lost access to funds that could have been used for good rather than contributed to the massive waste that has ensued. 

This item deals with geoengineering projects such as ChemTrails.  If you don't know anything about this you need to do a web search.  It has been widely poo-pood by those who do not want the public to know about this and related projects.  As this piece notes it is suspected that these chemical deposits dumped into the atmosphere are part of the reason why the bee population is collapsing and that climate scientists have ignored these uncontrolled experiments.  Because the experiments such as ChemTrails are not well based scientifically the Professor cited here thinks they should be halted. Quote: "In other words, governments and whomever else are involved in geoengineering efforts are currently engaged in a large-scale, uncontrolled experiment, according to this admission by Prof. Lenton. And like many of the rest of us, he wants to see this experiment halted in favor of sound scientific proposals.  But in order to get there, it must first be acknowledged that this experiment is real, which is something that chemtrail-deniers can't seem to get through their dense skulls. It's no longer an argument over whether or not chemtrails are real – they are – but rather whether or not they've begun, which mounting evidence suggests was many, many years ago."    http://www.naturalnews.com/052532_Prof_Tim_Lenton_chemtrails_geoengineering.html

It is long past time to start dealing in facts and stop with the unscientific and historically inaccurate hype.  http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/12/climate_science_misrepresented.html

I really do wish more people would embrace what this esteemed physicist has to say.  He has the credentials to provide an informed opinion and plenty of common sense to go along with it.  Uninformed people are being led by the nose by so called experts with an agenda.  Although certainly no expert our president is at the head of the list of people who have an agenda.  Truth does not matter to such people. http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/12/emthe_economistsem_hot_air_on_climate_change.html  Here is a good follow on.  http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/12/08/climate-hustle-perfect-antidote-al-gores-inconvenient-truth/?

Wise people will examine with great care what the Climate alarmist say.  This German scientist gives us good cause to believe we are being hoodwinked by the alarmist.  Quote: "In 2012, we realized that the data offered by NASA was not the same as that offered in 2010.  The data had been altered.  If in 2010 someone had, for instance, looked up the data for Palma de Mallorca, they would have seen a cooling of .0076 degrees.  But in 2012 it suddenly showed a temperature increase of .0074 degrees.  This is not a one-off.  Until then measurements were sacrosanct.  Can you call it fraud or falsification? I’m not a lawyer, but I can say it has been changed retroactively.  If I show you the data a negative judgment is justified.  In 2012 there was twice as much warming in the sample we examined compared with just two years prior.”   http://www.cfact.org/2015/12/12/german-scientist-researchers-fiddling-with-temperature-data/? 

This should raise questions in the minds of critical thinkers.  The loss of a suspicious NOAA satellite after discovery of manipulated data is too convenient for my taste.  Besides why refuse to release data if you have nothing to hide?  And who thinks a totally self absorbed and inefficient, ineffective, wasteful socialistic UN (which is nothing but a series of unelected ambitious bureaucracies) can run anything, much less manage global climate?  The complexities of a global climate system are far too complex for any collection of scientists to understand, much less master.  Why anyone would think a government bureaucracy, a "bigger is better" is beyond me.  An oversized unelected UN bureaucracy for example is a sure recipe for disaster as our very own bloated government proves beyond any shadow of a doubt.   http://patriotpowerednews.com/noaa-weather-satellite-mysteriously-destroyed-after-agencys-climate-data-manipulation-exposed/

Everyone may not agree with this piece but it should give everyone something to think about.  My opinion?  It is right on target.    http://www.wnd.com/2015/11/global-non-warming-will-be-death-of-socialism/

This is an introduction to a 200 year old bit of insight.  Ponder it since it relates to the climate change phenomena.  http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/12/clowns_on_parade.html

If anyone needs to be convinced that the political left, including it member scientists, are a bit demented maybe this item will help.  To my way of thinking it is almost comical the extremes these people will go to promote what normal logical thinking people know full well is a bunch of hoowie.   http://www.climatedepot.com/2016/01/13/claim-global-warming-could-cause-humans-to-develop-webbed-feet-cats-eyes-and-gills/   It is to the point where I feel sorry for them as they see their creation crumbling all around them.   http://www.climatedepot.com/2016/01/13/claim-global-warming-could-cause-humans-to-develop-webbed-feet-cats-eyes-and-gills/

This is another item that is both sad and slightly humorous.  It summarizes a theory posited by a scientist that is intended to save the planet.  Her thought is that we will think ourselves to smaller size  to reduce our carbon footprint (she speculates that we downsize ourselves to approximately the size of chickens through evolutionary processes).  Such is the state of both climate and evolutionary science.    http://eaglerising.com/29004/youll-never-believe-the-latest-crackpot-theory-for-saving-the-human-race-from-climate-change/ 


Matters of Science

This is an interesting article about Joyce Dreger and her new book  Galileo’s Middle Finger: Heretics, Activists, and the Search for Justice in Science.  The article provides this quote from her web site: "I do social justice work in medicine and science, and I do that through my research, writing, speaking, and advocacy. I’m constitutionally inclined to use evidence (especially historical and scientific evidence) to help create a more just present and future. I spend a lot of my energy pushing specific groups of people to be more evidence-based, particularly within controversies."  And here's what she says about her new book:  "I’m increasingly obsessed with American democracy and the critical role of academics and journalists within it. Evidence, as I argue in my new book, is fundamentally critical to American democracy and to social justice. With academics and journalists under increasing threat from harsh economic and cultural pressures, I’m growing quite concerned about the health of American democracy. The book calls on American academics to step up, defend academic freedom, and be responsible to truth and democracy, both."     http://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/when-science-is-ideologically-inconvenient/   

In follow up to the above item, this one applies to medical science being abused and what can even be considered medical malpractice.  The Journal of American Medical Association reports that, "millions of medical diagnoses, procedures and treatments are based on questionable scientific evidence and, in some cases, the “risk of harm exceeds its potential for benefit.”"  And, "It’s being called “medical overuse.” A too-forgiving term for over-diagnosis and overtreatment. It can also be defined as a healthcare practice that patients wouldn’t get if they knew what was in it for them—which for most procedures is potentially nothing.  Are doctors intentionally lying to patients? In this case, you have to look beyond individual doctors. Look at medical researchers, pharmaceutical companies and the medical landscape at large."  http://easyhealthoptions.com/great-heart-bypass-scam-travesties/

A very interesting item.  Quote: " Since 1987, one of my goals as a reporter has been to educate the public about false science.  Between then and now, I have found that, with remarkably few exceptions, mainstream reporters are studiously indifferent to false science. They shy away from it. They pretend “it couldn’t be.” They refuse to consider facts. They and their editors parrot “the experts.” Official science has a stranglehold on major media. It has the force of a State religion. When you stop and think about it, official science is, in a significant sense, a holy church. Therefore, it is no surprise that the church’s spokespeople would wield power over major information outlets."  https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2016/01/14/official-science-the-grand-illusion/

A frightening piece.  Quote: "Although I agree with Galalae's diagnosis of what's happening today with food and medicine, I disagree with his conclusion of surrendering to a world government authority to solve these problems."    http://www.naturalnews.com/052750_engineered_genocide_depopulation_humanity_self-destruction.html

This item reinforces the content of the three previous items.  Quote: "The phenomenon of “settled” science is a sad reflection of the frenetic intemperance of these times. The desire to be free from any moral restraint has reached such a point that even the most exacting and absolute sciences must be sacrificed to the tyranny of human passions. Even reality itself must be altered to conform to the agendas of the liberal establishment. Indeed, “settled” science is not science at all but propaganda that is highly unsettling." http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/01/save_us_from_the_tyranny_of_settled_science.html

Psychotropic drugs.   This item is both informative and disturbing.  And sad for the victims.  Quote: "This article is just a quick summary about how the pharmaceutical industry’s unholy alliance with the medical industry helped drive the goals planned for many decades ago. We recommend you watch the film Psychiatry: An Industry of Death, in order to obtain a strong background about the origins, workings and goals that the pseudoscience of Psychiatry has for all of us.  For a more contemporaneous view on what is the Psychiatry Industry doing right now and how the unholy alliance works, please watch the film Making a Killing: The Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging. Furthermore, pass the information contained in this article and the films cited above to as many people as possible."     http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/largest-medical-conspiracy-ever/

Radiation Therapy.   Radiation therapy may be bad for you.  This study found that it increases by 30 times the potency of malignant breast cancer cells.  Quote: "Following on the heels of recent revelations that x-ray mammography may be contributing to an epidemic of future radiation-induced breast cancers, in a new article titled, “Radiation Treatment Generates Therapy Resistant Cancer Stem Cells From Aggressive Breast Cancer Cells,” published in the journal Cancer July 1st, 2012, researchers from the Department of Radiation Oncology at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center report that radiation treatment actually drives breast cancer cells into greater malignancy."    http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/news-articles/

Medical Marijuana vs Prescription Drugs.  Quote: "It’s about time that the US government’s war on drugs is dwindling, with people across the country becoming educated enough about medical marijuana to enjoy its numerous benefits. The plant was always a nemesis to Big Pharma, because they knew just how powerful it can truly be. Now, a new study published in the journal Drug and Alcohol Review reveals that people are increasingly substituting prescription medications, alcohol, and illicit drugs with cannabis."   http://naturalsociety.com/marijuana-replace-5-pharmaceutical-drugs/      Here is a related and most interesting item - "Cannabis has been demonized as a gateway drug for more than 80 years. Now, in a stunning, though quiet, feat of acknowledgment, the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI) has admitted that cannabis kills cancer cells without harming normal cells."   http://www.medicine.news/2016-01-21-u-s-government-finally-admits-that-cannabis-destroys-cancer-cells-and-protects-healthy-cells.html
  
Government Finally Admits that MMR Vaccines Cause Autism.  Two quotes: "You won't hear anything about it from the mainstream media, but the federal government's kangaroo "vaccine court" has once again conceded, albeit quietly, that the combination measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine does, indeed, cause autism. In a recently published ruling, part of which was censored from public view, a young boy was awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars after it was determined that the MMR vaccine led to a confirmed diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)."  And, "Of particular note in the case is the fact that concession documents by the government remain under seal. While the court and the government at large openly admitted that the MMR vaccine caused Ryan's encephalitis, it did not make public its opinion on whether or not that encephalitis led to Ryan's other injuries, including those that fall into the category of ASD. But the fact that these documents remain censored shows that the government is hiding something of importance from the public, which most definitely has to do with the connection between the MMR vaccine and autism."    http://www.naturalnews.com/041897_MMR_vaccines_autism_court_ruling.html   

Another Disturbing Detail Regarding MMR, Polio and Flu Vaccines.  Two quotes: "The mysterious virus known as EV-D68 has spread across the Midwest at a rapid rate. Many children have been hospitalized with the virus, about 475 in Kansas City alone, and there is no known vaccine to lessen the effects of the virus or protect those that have yet to acquire it."  And, "Although there is no known vaccine for the virus, and the scope which it will reach is also unknown, those that have become infected are following a common theme. They have all been vaccinated with the MMR vaccines, influenza vaccines, and polio vaccines. Of course, many children in the United States have been vaccinated, and most are required to be vaccinated in order to enter school. However, it is interesting to note that the illness is not occurring, yet, in children that have not been vaccinated."    http://www.inquisitr.com/1464195/mysterious-ev-d68-vaccinated-children-could-be-more-vulnerable/

Something to Consider Before Getting A Flu Shot.   http://naturalsociety.com/new-flu-shot-fluad-novartis-vaccine-danger/

Don't Think Vaccines Can Cause Harm?   http://www.naturalnews.com/048691_vaccine_damaged_children_graphic_photos_medical_mutilation.html  and this item extends this conversation.  Quote: "All vaccines contain a number of toxic poisons and chemicals that are linked to serious neurological damage including aluminum, thimerosal (methyl mercury), antibiotics, monosodium glutamate (MSG) and formaldehyde. How many times have you thought about ingesting or injecting yourself or your kids with anti-freeze, lead, cadmium, glycerine or acetone?

Study - Cancer Screenings Not Effective.   Quote: "An extremely important new study published in the British Medical Journal titled, “Why cancer screening has never been shown to “save lives”—and what we can do about it,” confirms something we have been reporting upon at GreenMedInfo.com since our inception, namely, cancer screening has not lived up to its long held promise of “saving lives” because disease-specific reductions in mortality do not equate to reductions in overall mortality. Worse, in some cases overall mortality actually increased because of screening. "  http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/cancer-screening-has-never-saved-lives-bmj-study-concludes/



Here's what 'constitutional scholar' Obama really taught at law school

Among the lies about himself Obama consistently repeats is that he was a constitutional law professor. 
Lie one:  Obama was never a professor; he was a lecturer.  He did not have the qualifications to be a professor.  Obama never published a single law paper.  He was hired by the University of Chicago when they learned he had been given a book contract on race and law directly after graduating from Harvard.  There was no book – just the contract, which he later reneged on.  This is not the normal level of accomplishment for a University of Chicago professor or even lecturer.
Obama was not capable of writing, and eventually, after failing to deliver, he changed it to a memoir, which he also struggled with.  Finally, he asked Bill Ayers to write his memoir for him, using tapes that Michelle dropped off at the Ayerses'. 
Lie two: Obama did not specialize in the Constitution.  Obama cared about and taught only one subject: race.  One course was about race in the Constitution.  It is on this flimsy basis that he attempts to pawn himself off as a constitutional scholar.
As the New York Times explains, Obama the lecturer taught three subjects only: "race, rights and gender."
