Both the FTC and FDA are turning up the heat on nutrition-oriented companies and websites, resorting to arrests at gunpoint to enforce "nutritional illiteracy" across America by imprisoning those who accurately describe the health benefits of nutritional products they sell.
The latest victim of this state-sponsored oppression and censorship agenda is Stephen Heuer of Cocoon Nutrition (www.CocoonNutrition.org) who advertised natural health products as treatments for depression and other health conditions.
It remains the position of the FDA that there is no such thing as an herb, vitamin or superfood that has any ability to prevent, treat or cure any disease or health condition whatsoever. (In other words, the FDA ridiculously believes foods and herbs are chemically inert.)
Anyone who accurately describes the biochemical effects of their herbal or nutritional products is immediately branded a criminal by the FDA and subject to arrest at gunpoint.

Not Green: Obama Inauguration Will Generate More than Half-Billion Pounds of CO2
Here’s an environmental impact story you’re not likely to see in the mainstream media. Neither NBC’s chief environmental affair correspondent Anne Thompson, nor ABC correspondent Bill Blakemore nor CBS “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley – all of whom have been eager over the years to expose so-called crimes against the environment – have rushed to report on the massive carbon footprint of the Obama inauguration.
But a comprehensive new study by The Institute for Liberty (IFL) took an in-depth look at each component of the Jan. 20 inauguration in Washington, D.C., and estimated that 575 million pounds of carbon dioxide will be emitted in the atmosphere for the inauguration – which is roughly equal to what the average American household would produce in 57,598 years.

Photo Of Israel's Use Of White Phosphorous Chemical Weapon
Photo of Israel's use of White Phosphorous in Gaza in the January 2009 attack. Note that there is little smoke cover generated, and LOTS of fires.This is White Phosphorous, a chemical weapon, being used in a clearly residential area, to wound, main, kill and set fire to the place, in other words, to ethnically cleanse it and, and in the process commit genocide.

Hep B Vaccination Linked To Male Development Disability
Stony Brook University Medical Center researchers found that the odds of requiring early intervention or special education services for a developmental disability are nine times as greater for boys who received the thimerosal containing triple series hepatitis B vaccine.
Boys who did not receive the vaccine had a lesser chance of developmental disabilities such as learning challenges, behavioral problems, autism, speech delays, lower IQ, and functional deficits.

Worst Virus In Years Infects 6.5 Million Computers
A computer virus attack that has infected more than 6.5 million Windows PCs this week is one of the worst in years, internet security firm F-Secure said Friday.
In total the worm, which is known as Downadup or Conficker, has infected nearly 9 million PCs since its first version was unleashed two years ago.
'The number of Downadup infections (is) skyrocketing,' Toni Koivunen, an F-Secure researcher, said in an entry to the company's security lab blog. 'From an estimated 2.4 million infected machines to over 8.9 million during the last four days. That's just amazing.'

Societal Apocalypse
It requires a concerted effort to comprehend the enormity of what cabal capitalists are currently perpetrating: outrages so monstrous--yet hidden and somewhat gradual--that most people aren't able to discern them.
In this essay we'll investigate how the cabal is using its economic terrorist attacks as a means of destroying American society utterly and on its ashes attempting to create a new political-economic world order, quickening America's and the world's descent into a new Holocaust. We'll also explore how we can survive this Cataclysm and overcome the demonic forces perpetrating it.

Drugs Prescribed for Alzheimer's Disease Increase Mental Decline and Deaths
When people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD) " act up" and show signs of neuropsychiatric symptoms such as aggression and agitation, they are often given antipsychotic drugs. Now, it turns out, that's a practice that could be deadly. The result of a long-term study , just published online and in the February edition of The Lancet Neurology journal shows there's a large increased risk of severe side effects and death in patients receiving these medications. What's more, they hasten mental deterioration.

The End of Hypocricy: Crime's Gleeful Abandon In Gaza
More and more, comment on Israel's savage attack on the people of Gaza seems superfluous. The facts -- even the modicum of facts that can be gleaned through the deadly wall of Israeli censorship and the perverse and sinister distortions of the American media -- speak loudly, with horrifying clarity, for themselves. We are witnessing monstrous crimes, committed with cold deliberation: a bloodthirsty spectacle of unbridled terrorism, openly celebrated by the political and media elites of Israel and America.
This is, of course, the same kind of moral insanity that has raged around the American terrorist attack on Iraq for many years. It is the same moral insanity that guides the actions of power in many lands, in increasingly brazen and unapologetic ways, with less and less of the shamefaced furtiveness that once surrounded such abominations as military aggression, torture, "ethnic cleansing" and other crimes of power down through the centuries. This furtiveness was hypocrisy, of course -- but in hypocrisy there remains some vestige of the morality it falsely purports to uphold, some awareness that an evil thing is being done which must be hidden or disguised.

Journalist Calls Livni 'Terrorist' During Press Conference on Gaza Operation
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni had a testy press conference Friday in Washington, D.C., moments after she signed an agreement with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice meant to combat arms smuggling to Gaza.
Some journalists went so far as to compare the Israeli government to that of dictator Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe, due to Israel's decision to bar journalists from Gaza.
One of the more tense moments came when one journalist began to quote at length a Human Rights report on the situation in Gaza, before asking Livni to comment on "the murder of innocent civilians in the Strip."
When the man was asked to finish his question, he yelled out that Livni had been speaking for an hour and that the journalists weren't being allowed to ask questions. He then asked since when the U.S. has been hosting "terrorists."

The Genocide of a Nation, With the Full Support of the United States Government
I recently read that one of my heroes, Kevin Barrett, is leaving the country. Barrett is a strong proponent of 9/11 truth and an even stronger enthusiast for human rights. He cited several things, pictures of dead babies on the news overseas, probably the most exasperating, but he mentioned something else that should hit all of us square between the eyes, as well…the American Dream is dead. He, like so many of us, is just plain fed up with the lack of conscience of this country’s leadership. I have to say, that I can’t blame him.

“LAWFUL REBELLION” CONFERENCE
ACTIONS NOT WORDS
KINGS' HALL, STOKE ON TRENT - 24TH JANUARY 2009
Our civil liberties, Constitution and Common Law are under attack and being dismantled.
Governance of our country is being handed over to the European Union and other unelected and unaccountable supranational corporate bodies without our consent.
Our economy has been handed over to a transnational corporate and banking oligarchy.
Our privacy is being constantly violated and our democracy degraded.
Our politics are dominated by a culture of stealth, deceit, trea son, duplicity and criminality.
Our law is no longer a friend and protector, but increasingly onerous, invasive, d isproportionate, corrupted by special interests and institutional gravy trains, and itself illegal and unconstitutional.
We will therefore:-
Reject the new political dispensation, whilst re-affirming the supremacy of our Constitution and Common Law.
Outline the stepping stones to the creation of an active national network to defend and protect non-violently but effectively our Democracy. This is not a plan for another political party- this is a movement coming from the grassroots made up of h onest and decent people, armed with practical and effective suppressed knowledge to frustrate and defeat the traitors and criminals who are destroying our country and communities.
Prepare ourselves to make a solemn commitment to renounce citizenship of the European Union; to declare that our membership of the European Union, and all the treaties, purported laws, courts and institutions pertaining to it, having been foisted upon us by stealth, deceit and treason, is unconstitutional and illegal, and to defend our Democracy, Constitution, Common Law and Civil Liberties. All people of hon esty, good will, energy, truth, courage and compassion must now stand together.

Killed By Israel - Eaten By Dogs
"Oh, God! I have never seen such a terrible scene," cried Kayed Abu Aukal.
The emergency doctor could not believe himself seeing the remains of what was days back Shahd, a full-fleshed 4-year-old Palestinian girl.
She died when an Israeli shell was fired at the backyard of her home in the Jabalya refugee camp northern Gaza strip, where she was playing.
When her parents attempted to rush to the rescue of their kid, who fell to the ground amid a pool of her blood, rains of Israeli bullets kept them a distance.
For the next five days Shahd's body was left lying in the open for dogs to tear out.

MPs Defy Judges To Keep Their Expenses Secret
Details of MPs’ claims for plasma televisions, furniture and cleaning bills will be kept secret after Harriet Harman bowed to backbenchers’ pressure to stop expenses claims being published.
MPs are preparing to pass a new law next week that will exempt them from parts of the Freedom of Information Act, meaning that they will never again be forced to publish receipts for their claims, in defiance of an order by the High Court.
This would make MPs the only public sector employees with special privileges to protect them from disclosing their expenses.

Woman, 91, Dies 'After Becoming Stressed Over £16,000 Council Bill to Make Her Home Eco-friendly'
A family have expressed their fury after the death of their disabled 91-year-old mother who 'was forced to take out a second mortgage to foot an unnecessary £16,000 council bill' .
The family of bed-ridden grandmother Dorothy Hacking blame Thanet Council for 'disgusting treatment' after the pensioner became overstretched trying to pay for work to meet government regulations to reduce CO2 emissions.
They say she was beset by stress and health problems after being left with no option but to take out a second mortgage for the stone-cladding repairs to make her home compliant with the Home Energy Conservation Act in Ramsgate, Kent.

Israel Using Holocaust Guilt to Continue Gaza Killings
A British lawmaker declared Thursday that Israel was taking advantage of the guilt many non-Jews feel over the Holocaust to ruthlessly press ahead with its offensive against Hamas in Gaza.
"The present Israeli government ruthlessly and cynically exploit the continuing guilt from Gentiles over the slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust as justification for their murder of Palestinians," he said.

10 Ways To Fight Back
So, 2009 is here. It’s going to be a decision year for us all. We are at a fork in the road. The road we’re on leads to hell, and the other … well, who knows? That’s up to us.
Hell is a place we adults and our unfortunate offspring (who played no part in getting us there) will all soon know intimately if we try to work within the current systems of finance or government. “Go along to get along” does not work under present conditions.
The “alternative route” seems like the harder one to take. The risks seem higher on a road apparently paved with fear. But all’s to play for on this road if we have the guts to take it.

ADL's New Trojan Horse Hate Bill
The Anti-Defamation League, architect of hate laws worldwide, has served up two hate bills to Congress this term. These include a condensed version of the same one that failed to pass over the past ten years, "The David Ray Hate Crimes Prevention Act." Reintroduction of the familiar bill was no surprise, as it had been rejected five times.
The big news is emergence of a different sounding hate bill, a seemingly harmless version with ostensibly humanitarian, not punitive, ambitions. This is the David Ray Ritcheson Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009, H.R. 262. It is classic "Trojan horse" legislation, attempting to charm wary legislators into making America a hate crimes bureaucracy.

Our World May Be a Giant Hologram
DRIVING through the countryside south of Hanover, it would be easy to miss the GEO600 experiment. From the outside, it doesn't look much: in the corner of a field stands an assortment of boxy temporary buildings, from which two long trenches emerge, at a right angle to each other, covered with corrugated iron. Underneath the metal sheets, however, lies a detector that stretches for 600 metres.
For the past seven years, this German set-up has been looking for gravitational waves - ripples in space-time thrown off by super-dense astronomical objects such as neutron stars and black holes. GEO600 has not detected any gravitational waves so far, but it might inadvertently have made the most important discovery in physics for half a century.

'War on Terror' Was a Mistake, Says Miliband
The foreign secretary, David Miliband, today argues that the use of the "war on terror" as a western rallying cry since the September 11 attacks has been a mistake that may have caused "more harm than good".
In an article in today's Guardian, five days before the Bush administration leaves the White House, Miliband delivers a comprehensive critique of its defining mission, saying the war on terror was misconceived and that the west cannot "kill its way" out of the threats it faces.

New Study of Splenda and Sucralose Reveals Shocking New Information About Potential Harmful Effect on Humans
James Turner, chairman of the national consumer education group Citizens for Health expressed shock and outrage after reading a new report from scientists at Duke University. "The report makes it clear that the artificial sweetener Splenda and its key component sucralose pose a threat to the people who consume the product. Hundreds of consumers have complained to us about side effects from using Splenda and this study, published this past week in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health Part A, confirms that the chemicals in the little yellow package should carry a big red warning label," said Turner.

Brave Israeli Soldiers Shoot Woman In The Head Despite Waving White Flag
At around 8 am, the witnesses said, a 50-year-old Palestinian woman left the home of a relative while waving a white flag to allow the rest of her family to leave the home safely. According to the eyewitnesses, Ravhiya al-Najar was shot at just as she stepped out of the house and immediately fell to the ground.
She continued to wave the white flag to indicate that there were no armed men in the area, but then one of the bullets struck her head and killed her, they said.
An ambulance driver who arrived at the scene said the woman lay dead at the side of the road, but added that he was forced to backtrack after IDF forces opened fire in his direction.

Straw Plan For Private Inquests Back On Agenda
Jack Straw, the justice secretary, will today revive his plan to hold inquests that involve aspects of national security in private without a jury when the coroners and justice bill is published.
The controversial measure, which could be invoked in cases like those of British servicemen killed by American forces in Iraq and the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes on the London tube, was shelved last month when it faced severe criticism during the passage of the Counter-Terrorism Act.

Kyrgyzstan Threatens to Shut Key US Airbase
President Kurmanbek Bakiyev is said to be preparing to announce the closure of Manas airbase, which acts as the main air hub for military supplies and troops travelling into Afghanistan.
Coalition forces have already been forced to seek alternative supply lines into Afghanistan after the main Khyber Pass road from Pakistan has seen repeated closures after attacks from Taliban militants.
A Russian newspaper reported that Manas would be closed in return for £1.3 billion of Russian investment.
The US State Department said it was not aware of any plans to close the base, but sources close to the Kyrgyz president said he will announce the closure before visiting Moscow later this month.

Indonesia: Another UFO Seen Rising From Lake
Recently we reported a UFO sighting in Argentina involving a number of UFOs seen rising from a lake in the province of Entre Rios on January 2 2009 by numerous witnesses. Now we have received reports of a very similar sighting in Indonesia. The parallels are striking and raise many questions.
A group of eight friends planned to go to a concert in the centre of the regional city of Jember in East Java on December 20 2008. Tickets to the concert were sold out so the group headed back to one of their homes in two cars. Heavy traffic in the centre of the city forced the group to go an alternative route past a lake on the outskirts of the town. One of the cars halted as the driver spotted a remarkable sight above the small lake that they were passing.
Two large lights rose from the lake, one white and one red. Two beams were then shot from the lights towards the lake and at that point the lights appeared to change formation; this lasted no less than ten minutes before the strange lights shot off upward into the night sky.
