Get ready for your 4th shot in a year people

Oh look Marvels Omicron is going to make Big Pharma even more money…

By Dark Politricks 

Yes you got it right, the evil Marvel character, Omicron, who is also a COIVD mutation that is 80% less likely to send anyone to hospital, is going to require extra measures which could involve yet another shot. I bet Big Pharma is licking it’s lips at the thought of extra jabs and more money.

Despite many doctors concluding that this mutation has symptoms indistinguishable from a common cold. It’s being used to scare us into more lockdowns after Christmas as the Government closes more businesses and let’s more people go mental stuck at home. 

You can watch this Doctor talk about the symptoms and how they could be linked to a common cold. Apparently there are only 65 people in UK’s hospitals with Omicron at the moment. It is more transmissible but less severe to other variants.

It’s yet more money for Big Pharma as they push for their over priced, 4th injections to fight off this milder virus mutation. I bet next year they will force through mandates or social pressure not to “Kill Grandma”, many more people to get another 3 jabs. 

I will be interested to see how many nurses and doctors fight them after many got the virus over the last 2 years anyway, and now have natural immunity to the virus which is the best sort due to the leaky vaccines.

Any vaccine that is this leaky you can still catch and spread the virus despite being vaccinated 3 times against it should have questions raised about whether these vaccines were intentionally made to be so crap we needed to keep taking them instead of good old style vaccines where we have a shot or two as kids and then no more are needed throughout our lives. 

If you had 3 Polio injections in a year and still got Polio, wouldn’t you be asking questions about Big Pharma’s intentions. Remember these are not good guys. Just to rattle off a few of Big Pharma’s greatest hits…

Phizer has the enviable position of being the company who has the record for biggest fine from the US DOJ. In the largest health care fraud settlement in history, pharmaceutical giant Pfizer had to pay $2.3 billion to resolve felony criminal and civil charges that it illegally promoted the use of four of its drugs.

We also have Bayer who has another great achievement of being the company that invented Heroin, and sold it to the masses as a “non addictive” cough syrup. Using the name heroin, as it was “heroic” and seemed to cure every disease. Well I guess when you are that monged out, a runny nose and a cough doesn’t seem as bad.

Big Pharma corporate greed was also the cause of the Opioid crisis in the USA. People given strong opioids like Fentanyl for pain, and then when removed from the drug they switched to illegal substitutes. 

“The opioid epidemic has claimed more than 300,000 lives in the United States since 2001 and could claim another half million over the next decade. Although heroin and illicitly manufactured fentanyl account for an increasing proportion of opioid-involved overdoses, the majority of persons with opioid addiction started with prescribed painkillers.“

Plus the medical industry as a whole doesn’t have a good record, allowing doctors to be used to promote smoking in advertisements, with even the catch phrase “Doctor Recommended”  on some brands.  They also pushed “Mothers Little Helpers” or barbiturates, to calm mothers down in the 50’s, before realising they were addictive and swapping to another addictive replacement drug, benzodiazepines like Valium.

Then we had the SSRI, Prozac push in the latter decades of the 20th century, with links to suicidal behaviour and many people claiming the mass school gun shootings during that era had a link with kids hooked on these mind altering “anti depressants”. Yes anti-depressants that say in their list of side effects that suicidal thoughts are a common effect from taking the drug, just wants to make you rush out and get some if your feeling down doesn’t it?

You can read some more about the “Sickening” acts Big Pharma have committed from pushing up the price of cheap drugs to make a profit, and deceiving doctors about the safety of the drugs they prescribe at Counterpunch.

So are we going to see another shut down of the economy for what seems like the mildest variant of the virus so far. If the exponential rate of catching the virus continues the whole country should get it by the end of the month. If so we should all have herd immunity and better anti-bodies to fight off the virus than having more shots of leaky vaccines.

In the US, many people you would think would be jumping to get the shot such as nurses, soldiers, fire fighters and police are all refusing the mandates to take it by the Federal Government, and many are on strike or are losing their jobs due to not wanting to be forced to take a new untested (long term), RNA vaccine, that we are basically the test subjects for, with thousands of side effects being reported across the globe. 

It’s very nice Big Pharma managed to take Government money to make the vaccines, get a “get out of jail free card” in the case of complications, and then the ability to charge up to 40 times the cost of making the vaccine back to the Government who funded it from YOUR tax money, they get a good deal don’t they?

You pay for the vaccines, the Government forces you to have them or you lose your job or you take one and get a side effect like myself, and I am no anti-vaxxer, just one of the hundreds of thousands of people who have had severe side effects from taking the shot. Over 400,000 in the USA alone have had some sort of adverse re-action from the vaccine they paid for and cannot sue the company who is milking the government for forcing you to take it.

So is this really the right way to go, forcing people to take a vaccine that could cause them severe adverse effects, or face losing their job? Morality or Money it seems to be? 

Super colds & flus are spreading all around the country due to people sterilising themselves over the last 2 years so that their immune systems can’t fight anything off, no wonder people will be susceptible to Marvels new super villain. 

I bet most people with these super colds get marked down as COVID victims due to our miss-counting of real victims, which has been so bad determining who actually died of the virus and NOT underlying conditions, or people who went to hospital for something else and then caught the virus whilst staying there. Maybe if they were lucky to survive the nurses will have done one of another thousand perfectly rehearsed TikTok dances for them. They seem to have the time to get the moves right for some reason.

Also if all stats are correct on the new mutations exponential rate of infection, everyone in the country will have had it by the 1st of January anyway, giving anyone not killed from it proper immunity from the antibodies. 

I think when we are getting to 4 shots in 365 days, you have to start asking questions about the vaccines. Is it just Big Pharma scaring people to make more £$£$£ from the pandemic where it seems like every mutation is getting milder yet more contagious. 

Health advisors from Norway to South Africa say is the best outcome as the disease will die out once herd immunity is achieved. From the Guardian:  

“COVID live: fourth vaccine dose ‘could be needed against Omicron’; not enough data on severity, says WHO Latest updates: German health minister says ‘offensive booster campaign’ needed to fight variant; WHO official says it is too early to draw conclusions on severity; WHO’s Europe chief says ‘another storm coming’ as Omicron takes hold AstraZeneca aims to produce Omicron-targeted vaccine with Oxford.”

I bet Bill Gates is milking himself at all the money he will be making. He did publicly state that the best investment he had ever found was in vaccines, saying that “vaccines are phenomenal profit makers, with more than a 20-to-1 return.” 

No wonder he stopped Oxford from doing a good humanitarian act of giving our UK vaccine away free to other countries, some who have not had any of the vaccines promised to them by the rich countries who can afford them. 

From his statements it is no surprise that Bill Gates wanted AstraZeneca to patent our vaccine so he and his friends in the know could make more billions as the biggest transfer of wealth from the poorest to wealthiest 1% of 1% in history has taken place over the last 2 years. 

The Great Barrington Declaration (1000’s of scientists) who signed on to a different plan of action which was devised by top virologists from Oxford to top US universities didn’t want to close the economy, cause massive debt and job losses, major rises in mental health and deaths of despair (suicide, drugs, alcohol etc), and Dr Fauci, when he saw this declaration he and his NIS friends got right down to smearing these scientists ASAP. 

Instead of having a debate it was his way or the highway. Director Dr. Francis Collins emailed Dr. Fauci to urge a “quick and devastating published takedown” of the Great Barrington Declaration authored by Dr. Martin Kulldorff, Dr. Sunetra Gupta and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. 

So as we move into a new 2 tier society I think people need to realise what Western Governments have used the COVID crisis as cover to do, Australia has seemingly gone mad, drunk with power, locking people up in concentration camps even if they go near someone with COVID despite not having it. 

Thank god I don’t have that tracer app on my phone, its just a government tracker, and now Swedish inventors have come up with a microchip that can be implanted under the skin to show you COVID status as well as other ID info.  Alex Jones you were right all along, religious people, the mark of the beast is coming…

However whatever your beliefs, we are living in a very scary time for privacy, personal freedom and the right to say what you want and put in your body what you want. If that doesn’t scare you then you need to read some history books about the beginning part of the 20th century to get some context.

You must not read DarkPolitricks.com articles! You are too weak to decide for yourself what to think!

Facebook Plugin Might Stop You Reading My Articles

By Dark Politicks

 

Tonight I did what I used to do when my own server was up and running quite a lot, and that was search on Google for sites that were linking to me.

You can just put site: [sitename] into Google or many other search engines search box and it will return a list of sites that mention the site you have listed.

So I did a search for site: darkpolitricks.com and had a peruse at my leisure to see what BS had been written about me.

Of course I am a Russian Agent that pushes evil ex-commie propaganda on you all, that seems like a given from some of the sites I looked at. It must be due to me not pushing the “lets have a war with Russia” neo-con/neo-liberal line that seems to wash over much of the US governing elite at the moment.

Hey I admit it. I don’t want to burn to a crisp in a nuclear holocaust. I do apologise to any blogger out there that thinks I have a pro-Russian bias. I just don’t believe Russia wants a nuclear war, and think your very stupid if you do want one.

Then I came across this site https://getmxt.com/facebook-fake-news-list that talks about a Facebook Plugin designed to warn users if they click on a link taking them to one of 559 websites. It is a 3 year old article but then again my Facebook page for this site has been removed and I have had social media sites and communities removed in the blink of an eye without any consultation before so who knows what the kind Samaritan who apparently complied the list thinks of me.It seems that this good egg who compiled the list is one, Melissa Zimdars, an assistant professor of Communication and Media at Merrimack College. It is none other than she, that and I quote “compiled a list of the most egregious offenders”.

Well I feel honoured to be considered Melissa. It seems I am worthy enough to be upon this list along with such evil doers as the Drudge Report, Russia Today, and of course the rabid, evil views from Antiwar.com.

It does say my site has a “(classification pending)” next to it, so maybe in the eyes of this author I am still to be labelled and put in a nice box for the authorities. However I also found this list of raw site URLs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BigMcLargeHuge/opensources/master/sources/sources.csv which had me labelled down for “bias” and “conspiracy”. Well I don’t know what my bias is, but if it’s that I am against a 3rd nuclear war, hate fake current and historical narratives and I’m not a “co-incidence theorist” then yes those labels are correct.

It seems this core list has been copied, and amended in some cases across numerous blogs claiming to have a list of “fake news sites”, or “sites to be careful reading”, whatever that means. If it’s that you might find an alternative and possibly more correct view of an event than those spouted by the mainstream media outlets then yes.

I did find it amusing on the site to find under the category “State Run” just the two sites from the countries the US is currently pushing its propaganda for war with, Russia Today and Iran’s Press TV.What I want to know is where was the BBC?

You cannot get a more state run organisation than the BBC, a news broadcaster that has the backing of the government in forcing all live TV viewers to fork out over £150 per year to pay for a licence fee that funds the BBC’s reporting.

Therefore it is something I expect, to be labelled a conspiracy theorist just because I don’t believe in physics that says an aluminium plane cannot fly at 550mph just inches above the ground and punch it’s way through 3 rings of re-enforced concrete as supposedly happened at the Pentagon on 9.11.

Oh and you must call me anti-Semitic for daring report what many US news stations did on the day of 9.11 about the “dancing Israelis”, flicking lighters and positioned where no-one else would know to be, filming the first plane hit the Twin Towers. Known Mossad agents who were released by the FBI without charge and went onto an Israeli TV show to claim that they were, “just documenting the event”.

And I must be a “hate speech” site for daring to talk about how Israel is assassinating hundreds of Palestinians at the fence that divides them from their old stolen homes.Or how the Mossad stole British passports to use in their assassination of a Hamas leader in Dubai, or show the YouTube video recording of two IDF soldiers shooting 9 bullets into the back of an injured US citizen, Furkan Dogan, on their high seas attack on the Mavi Marmara.

Then of course I must fall into the most evil category at all as well. No-one can point out that Auschwitz itself has decreased the number of people that died within it’s rebuilt walls from 6 million down to under a million without being a blatant liar and holocaust denier. I guess the people running the camp, and the historians who have lowered the number from a round perfect 6 million, a number that is stated in the Torah as the number of Jews who must die before they can return to Israel, must fall into the same category as me?

So what do to if these blogs and sites are correct, and my site is on these lists to be considered so dangerous as to warn anyone visiting that it’s not a reliable source? 

Well what we need is a real “Alternative News” search engine. I did attempt creating one on my old site, I basically just returned Google’s results as DuckDuckGo.com does through a proxy server to remove all the trackers, and then I had a list of sites such as the BBC, MSBC, CNN and other “authoritative news sources” that I removed from the results.However that server is not running anymore and I doubt anyone out there is going to create a real #altnews search engine. Therefore I am going to do the next best thing.

You might have noticed at the top of the site a new search box. It’s not finished yet as I haven’t had enough time to add all the sites I want. However seeing that these people are so desperate to not allow others to see content from this and other sites, and they have been so considerate to compile a list of sites so dangerous to visit. I think I will try to add this list, or as much of it as I can, to this search box and create a way for people to search purely alternative news sites.

They made me a nice list so it would be very rude not to make use of it. I just need some time to play around with the various search engine filters out there and hopefully you can bypass the BBC, CNN and all the pro-war establishment and conformative historical sites the compilers of this list don’t want you to view. It might just help people get to the points of view that big brother and the establishment don’t want you to hear.

I can only try, seeing that I might soon wash down Google and Facebook’s, dirty sink plug, to the dark web not accessible by most search engines. Have a go, search for some of your favourite topics and see what the results are like.

Also if you have an ideas of sites or blogs not on this “blacklist” please let me know in the comments section and I will have a look and maybe add them to the search engine.

Check the search engine out on the main site.

Do we need a new Bill of Rights?

Do we need a new Bill of Rights?

By Dark Politricks

A recent satirical survey carried out by Mark Dice showed that people were willing to sign a petition banning Christian symbols, Christmas lights, bumper stickers and other forms of expression covered by the 1st Amendment. His bigger coup was showing up the American people for signing another petition banning the first amendment altogether.

It seems no matter what crazy things Mark says to the signers they willingly agree to remove their own freedom. He uses Obama, racism, the Tea Party and even the New World Order to persuade people to sign, not that they need much persuading.

Even when he thanks people for “helping to repeal free speech” or “repeal the first amendment” from the USA they happily nod, agree and then sign on the dotted line.

The people signing these petitions should obviously be ashamed of themselves but it goes to show the indoctrination that has been achieved by politicians and the media.

Job well done it seems! These people are almost too eager to sign their freedoms away.

Here in the UK we don’t have a written constitution and our bill of rights (1689) which was inspiration for the USA is more concerned with limiting the power of the Crown, ensuring that our parliament is regularly elected and that the people we elect to it have the right to speak freely without fear of retribution from the Crown.

Remember that this was one of the first documents of its kind in the modern world so it’s nowhere near perfect and it followed the English civil war in which we deposed and killed our monarch and then replaced him with a quasi-religious military family dictatorship or what historians call a “Protectorate”.

This was a bit like North Korea today along with a puritanical religious nature and it involved a dictatorial dynasty i.e Oliver Cromwell and then his 3rd son Richard. The Cromwells, along with the military and their “Godly Governors” ruled the country until the monarchy was restored later in the century.

However our bill of rights, the preceeding Magna Carta, the writ of habeas corpus and it’s codified version in law the Habeas Corpus Act plus the writings of many enlightened English philosophers of the time such as John Locke and Thomas Paine, helped inspire and create the US Bill of Rights.

Whilst this bill is something to be proud of and US school children are taught from an early age that the Constitution is the primary law of the land and no other law can supersede it. It seems nowadays that either the US Government doesn’t preach what it teaches in its public schools or just believes, as George W Bush famously did, that it’s just a piece of paper.

Since 9.11, laws such as the PATRIOT ACT have removed many rights enshrined in the constitution and many local courts in the USA have actually found it and the FISA court to be in blatant violation of the provision that prohibits unreasonable searches in the Fourth Amendment.

As Judge Andrew Napolitano explains about the recent NSA Prism revelations that the US/UK governments are conducting massive surveillance on millions of people without a warrant, the mass spying of Americans, whilst allowed by the PATRIOT ACT breaches the constitution which trumps it in law, or is supposed to!

With Obama now being able to act like a king with the NDAA (The National Defense Authorization Act of 2013) behind him, and the country still be ruled under emergency laws enacted after 9.11, he is now able to do such things as:

-allow for the “indefinite detention of American citizens without due process at the discretion of the President.” (Section 1021)

-to allow force (and military detention) against not only those who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks and countries which harbored them, but also anyone who “substantially supports” Al Qaeda, the Taliban or “associated forces” (Section 1031)

-mandates that all accused Terrorists be indefinitely imprisoned by the military rather than in the civilian court system (section 1032)

Therefore, he can now, if he so wished, declare you a terrorist or “domestic extremist” by using NSA hovered up and illegally obtained data, and then if he so wished either detain you without due process indefinitely, or if you lived abroad, send a drone to kill you and your family in the manner he dispatched Anwar al Awlaki and his son in Yemen.

The bill also basically dispenses with Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution, which says that nobody can be punished for treason without heightened due process requirements being met. Lets wait and see what happens to Edward Snowden. Is he a traitor for exposing massive and illegal spying by the NSA or a traitor for letting the people know what the Government is doing to them?

Therefore with free speech under attack due to massive state surveillance and unwarranted search and seizure of property such as any electronical private effects e.g emails, direct message tweets or text messages. And as Mark Dice has shown, a populace all too willing to just “sign a petition” abolishing their rights without second thought I am asking you today what you think our rights should be in this modern-day and age.

Do we need extra protections from government surveillance?

Is the requirement for a well maintained militia and the bearing of arms still needed when the US military is the largest on earth and a few handguns wouldn’t last long against the local police force let alone the US military – not that you can tell the two apart lately.

What about limits on free speech? Should you have the right to be offended or can I be racist, sexist, anti-religious and homophobic to you all without fear of punishment?

Taking a well-known section of the European Convention of Human Rights – Article 3, which prohibits torture, and “inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment”. Do Americans need to incorporate this into a bill after their water boarding, Abu Ghraib and Gitmo “enhanced interrogation” escapades?

What about Article 11 that supposedly protects the right to freedom of assembly and association, including the right to form trade unions.

This seems to be trumped by local laws such as “free speech zones” in the USA or the much hated English Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 which banned people assembling to “rave” i.e party. This law also and allowed for courts to make certain inferences if a defendant remained silent in custody or for the police to take intimate body samples on arrest and keep them whether or not the accused is ever convicted in court – an act that has been found to violate European law multiple times.

It seems that in this modern day and age people on all sides of the Atlantic need a Bill of Rights that protects them from their own government. What I’d like to know is which rights are most important to you.

Some of these points cross over and in a new bill they would be sectioned together. Therefore you may want to vote for more than one but I want to know the right that you feel is most important to you in your daily life.

For example is your right to speak freely without fear of being bugged and arrested more important than a theoretical chance that you might overthrow your government with your firearms?

If something important is missing just add it in the other section and feel free to use the comment section to expand on your points if you do.

Alex Jones Needs To Calm Down To Get His Facts Across

Alex Jones Needs To Calm Down To Get His Facts Across

By Dark Politricks

After last weeks battle on prime time TV between Piers Morgan and Alex Jones  it has become a major talking point. It was a heated debate (on one side at least) that has been re-shown, mocked and repeated everywhere from blogs and news programs to satire shows like the Daily Show and beyond.

The question being asked is – “did Alex Jones do more harm than good by going off on one of his manic rants at Piers Morgan?”

Did he attempt his usual tactic of trying to claim to have facts on everything from A to Z. Far too many facts to explain in such a short period of time on TV, therefore the viewers probably didn’t take many if any of  them in at all. All they went away with after the interview is the perception that Alex Jones was crazy for going off on one on Piers who remained calm throughout the interview.

Even worse – did he make Piers Morgan, a liar whose testimony at the Leveson Inquiry about Press Standards and phone hacking has been called “utterly unpersuasive.” by the Judge himself seem like an honest, sensible and well-balanced person?

I used to listen to the Alex Jones radio show over the web and on pod-casts until I got so fed up with hearing the same adverts about survival food stocks over and over again that it just became a pointless exercise in hurting my ears with advertising.

I have seen the rants, I have seen the madness but I have also read some of the articles, the history and the evidence he constantly claims to have to back up his sometimes “heated” debates. He is not always right and he is most definitely not always wrong.

People need to look past any first impressions and research for themselves anything he says.

No one should make up your own mind but yourself. That means not Alex, not Piers or anyone else on the mainstream media but yourself after reading a balanced view of history. Keeping in mind that history is usually written by the winners and that conspiracies do and continue to exist and have done since the beginning of time.

If only Alex Jones could practise some form of Yoga or meditation to calm himself down before going on the mainstream media he would pass himself over a lot better. It is not good to be ripped apart on satire shows as he was on the recent Daily Show where he was being portrayed as just a right wing crazy nut job who thinks Obama is the new Hitler ready to come for your guns.

The problem with Alex Jones and his argument over gun control is two fold.

1. He does actually have facts and evidence coming out of his behind. The problem is, whether you believe them or not he does not put them over in such a way that people will catch everything he says.

He would have done much better during the interview with Piers to stick to the single salient point that the UK, a country where the population has no guns (apart from a few farmers), does actually have a higher violent crime rate than the USA a country filled to the brim with guns.

This was proven in a recent study published today that said:

Britain has a higher crime rate than any other rich nation except Australia, according to a survey yesterday and the chances of having your car stolen are greater in England and Wales than anywhere else in the developed world.

According to the figures released in the report yesterday, 3.6 per cent of the population of England and Wales were victims of violent crime in 1999 – second only to Australia, where the figure was 4.1 per cent. However in the USA only 2 per cent of the population suffered an assault or robbery.

Also one out of every 40 people in England and Wales had their cars stolen in 1999, the highest rate in the 17 developed countries examined.

2. He needs to chill out before going on TV so that he cannot later be portrayed as crazy loon later on. When you are being shown in clips along with FOX TV presenters, Republican Tea Baggers and nutters who believe everything they see on TV without reading both sides first and coming up with their own opinions then you have lost the argument before you have even opened your mouth.

Take a Valium, no in fact take a 100. Just do what you have to do so that you don’t explode in anger and declare another war of independence like you did with Piers on CNN.

It is comments like that shouted in anger that will be shown over and over again on YouTube and MSM shows to repeatedly claim you are nothing more than a nutter no matter how much substance your argument has.

Whether you are on either side of the gun control argument you should read up about the facts first before making your OWN minds up.

And if you are going on TV – just take a chill pill first and don’t overload the audience with facts.

Stick to one or two proven facts and debate them calmly and honestly. Then you can walk away knowing that you won’t be derided from state to state for just being the bloke who wants to deport the known liar and phone hacker Piers Morgan and start a new revolution.

The interview between Alex Jones and Piers Morgan can be watched below.

Do we want an Alternative Voting system or an alternative governing system

Alternative Vote or Alternative Government

By Dark Politricks

The people of the UK are going to be asked in a few weeks to vote on whether they would like a new voting system.

We currently have a first past the post system which often leads to politicians gaining seats for life, leaves a large percentage (often the majority within a district) having a politician they haven’t voted for and leaves smaller parties out of government as they have to work extra hard to gain a seat even if they have a large percentage of support across the country.

The alternative we are being offered is AV (Alternative Vote) in which voters order the candidates in their prefered order first to last and then during the count up the candiate with the least votes drops out and their votes are redistrubted amongst the other candidates until one candidate manages to get 50% of the vote.

This is a comprimise system that the Lib Dem’s agreed to during coallition talks because neither Labour or the Tories would give them full proportianal representation which is what they really want. Nick Clegg see’s  this change as a miserable compromise and maybe as a stepping stone towards further change later on.

The alternative vote system is not a choice any party wants but it’s a change from the existing system and even though it’s not proportional in any way at least it makes people’s choices count a lot more than they currently do.

I will probably be voting for AV just because it is a change from the status quo and might help to get some smaller parties or independents into the houses of corruption/parliament. However what I would rather see is a total change in how our whole government works.

What we really need is a new system of politics that prevents lobbyists and powerful interest groups from controlling politicians and gives the educated people of this country more of a say in the decision making process.

This all reminds me of a couple of articles I wrote some time back titled:

We need a new form of government

and

What I would do if I were Prime Minister for a week

In which I offer a number of ideas and possible solutions to our current problems. Some people might find them interesting so I suggest having a read if you get the time.

Cell Phones Cause Brain Cancer, Scientists Warn

David Gutierrez
Natural News
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

A report issued by the International Electromagnetic Field Collaborative and endorsed by 43 scientists from 13 countries has reviewed the evidence linking cell phone use to brain tumors, and refuting the methodology of a forthcoming industry-funded study expected to give the phones a clean bill of health.

“I fear we will see a tsunami of brain tumors, although it is too early to see that now since the tumors have a 30-year latency,” study author Lloyd Morgan said. “I pray I’m wrong, but brace yourself.”

Among the research cited in the study was a recent study by a Swedish team of scientists that found a 420 percent higher risk of brain cancer among people who had started using cellular or cordless phones as teenagers. Older analog phones, which are now mostly off the market, had been found to increase cancer risk by 700 percent.

Because children are especially vulnerable to radiation, the report recommends that parents not allow their children under the age of 18 to use mobile phones except in emergencies, or to sleep with cellular phones under their pillows. It recommends using corded land lines whenever possible, and using cellular phones mostly as answering machines, turning them on only to check messages and return calls. Use of cell phones inside buildings or in cars increases cancer risk, as it increases the radiation a phone must emit to function. Use of text messages and non-wireless headsets can reduce cancer risk. The report also advises against carrying cell phones against the body, even in pockets.

“Some countries are already banning cell phones over health concerns, with France saying children in elementary schools can only use them for texting,” Morgan said.

The report also sets out 11 flaws in the forthcoming Interphone study, a study on cell phones and health being prepared by the wireless industry in 13 different countries. These flaws include the exclusion of non-cellular cordless phones (which also emit radiation), children and young adults (the most vulnerable demographics) from the study, the exclusion of certain types of tumors, and the exclusion of participants who died or were too sick to answer questions.

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Teenage schoolchildren think oats grow on trees and bacon comes from sheep, a survey showed today.

Many children and young adults also believe eggs were a key ingredient in bread, the researchers said.

The survey showed 26% of children thought bacon came from sheep, 29% thought oats grow on trees, while 17% of both children and adults under the age of 30 believed eggs were a core ingredient in bread.

Peter Kendall, president of the National Farmers’ Union, said: ”The results show how important it is to teach the adults of tomorrow about the food they eat.

Only one in four Americans know how many votes a Senate filibuster requires. One in three know the name of the chairman of the Republican Party. One in two know the Democratic leader of the US Senate.

Health care? Fewer than one in three Americans even know that no Republicans voted for the Senate health care overhaul.

Americans’ ignorance about politics isn’t new, but the latest results from the Pew Poll suggest few are really paying attention.

Half of Americans don’t even know that Stephen Colbert is a comedian. And among those surveyed, only one in three Democrats knew that Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) was the Democratic leader.

“About four-in-ten (39%) know that Nevada Democrat Harry Reid is the majority leader of the U.S. Senate,” Pew reports. “About a third (32%) correctly pick Michael Steele as the chairman of the Republican National Committee. Interestingly, nearly half of Republicans (48%) are able to identify Reid as Senate majority leader compared with just a third (33%) of Democrats. More Republicans can identify Reid as majority leader than can identify Steel as chairman of the RNC (37%).”

“About four-in-ten (41%) correctly say that Stephen Colbert is a comedian and television talk show host,” Pew adds.

Notably, those who are more clueless about politics hail from the under 30 age bracket — except for the question about Colbert.

“This is the only question on the quiz that more people younger than 30 than older people answer correctly (49% vs. 39%),” Pew notes.

Adds Pew:

About six-in-ten (59%) correctly identify China as the foreign country holding the most U.S. government debt. Nearly as many (57%) know that the United States imports two-thirds of the oil it consumes. As was the case in previous knowledge surveys, a majority (55%) knows the current unemployment rate is about 10%. However, far fewer (36%) correctly estimate the current level of the Dow Jones Industrial Average at about 10,000 points.

The news quiz, conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press Jan. 14-17 among 1,003 adults reached on cell phones and landlines, asked 12 multiple choice questions on subjects ranging from economics and foreign affairs to prominent people in the news. Americans answered an average of 5.3 questions correctly.

The survey finds that while the public struggled with most of the political questions on the survey, most Americans (56%) know that there currently is more than one woman serving on the Supreme Court. Notably, this is the only question on the quiz where as many women as men answer correctly; men scored significantly better on other questions.

In response to questions about terrorism and national security, half (50%) correctly identify Yemen as the country where intelligence officials believe the suspect in an attempted Christmas Day airline bombing received training and bomb materials. A slightly smaller percentage (43%) knows that during all of 2009 there were more American military fatalities in Afghanistan than in Iraq; 32% said more U.S. troops were killed in Iraq.

The poll was conducted Jan. 19, prior to the election of Massachusetts Senator-to-be Scott Brown.

Statement Concerning C4L's Issue Discussion Program

By John Tate

Throughout 2010, Campaign for Liberty will be running an issue discussion program through our candidate surveys in every state to promote our issues and agenda and to lobby candidates for federal office and to get them on the record in support or opposition on our issues.

Since our inception, we have had many requests from our members for such an effort to help in their work to educate those around them.

As part of this program, mail, radio and TV ads, banner ads, and other forms of communication may be run to encourage candidates to go on record in support of our Liberty agenda, to highlight the responses of the candidates on our issues, and to hold those candidates who ignore our cause accountable.

There have been some questions as to why certain candidates have received surveys while others haven’t. This is simply a matter of putting in place a systematic approach based on candidate filing deadlines and clear survey response deadlines in order to send out surveys in an organized fashion.

For example, Texas candidate surveys have been mailed, and Kentucky surveys will be mailed next week. Illinois survey results are already available on our web site.

As we launch this new undertaking, I also want to take a moment to address your inquires about one of our first public survey ads in Colorado.

First, I think it is important to state up front that, in keeping with our 501(c)4 status, none of our work is in endorsement, support, or opposition for any candidate. In our survey program, we seek only to report where candidates stand in regard to the specific questions to which they have responded.

In retrospect, the ad we are running could have been messaged differently to help avoid any confusion on its intent and to better advertise our issue discussion program. Your invaluable feedback will help us correct this in the future and, as a result, strengthen the effectiveness of our program. This is C4L’s first foray into launching this kind of national initiative, and we are convinced it has the potential to make a tremendous impact.

The candidate featured in the Colorado ad answered 19 out of 20 questions correctly on our C4L candidate survey, and he has been publicly outspoken on Audit the Fed and an out of control federal government. He also answered the Foreign Policy questions and warrantless search question on our survey correctly.

We treat these surveys as a personal promise from the candidate as to how they will vote upon entering Congress. And I can guarantee you we will hold them accountable for their actions and responsible for how they presented themselves to us.

That being said, there is an even more important fact: The Colorado program was funded by a small number of Colorado activists. The funding for this program came ENTIRELY from this small group of new C4L donors.

So for all our great grassroots who are wondering why we might not have used this money elsewhere, I can say two things: First, we WILL have similar programs in MANY other places soon, and second, we did NOT use any money raised generally by Campaign for Liberty to run these ads in Colorado.

In order to both launch the Colorado effort and test our survey program, C4L did not use existing donor funds but built new support and donations, especially within Colorado, specifically for this project. This is the approach we hope to take as we seek funding for many other special projects this year in other states.

I take our message of peace, freedom, and prosperity as well as the responsibility entrusted to me to run this organization very seriously. I hope you all know that, and can give us here at C4L the benefit of the doubt when a situation arises about which you might want more information, or with which you even might not agree. As a multi-issue organization with activists from all manner of backgrounds, we each certainly will have our share of disagreements and agreements. The critical question is whether or not we will let disagreements on occasional topics destroy the unity we share in our desire to be a free people.

This movement has a unique window of opportunity to change politics in our country and restore our lost liberties. But to accomplish this, it will take our unified effort and focus. I see great things for us in 2010 and beyond if we can do that. I hope I’ll have your support as we continue our campaign for liberty.
