Recreational Drugs FAR Less Likely to Kill You than Prescribed Drugs!

Drugs are Dangerous Whether Pushed or Prescribed

While approximately 10,000 per year die from the effects of illegal drugs, an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported that an estimated 106,000 hospitalized patients die each year from drugs which, by medical standards, are properly prescribed and properly administered. More than two million suffer serious side effects. [3]

An article in Newsweek [4] put this into perspective. Adverse drug reactions, from "properly" prescribed drugs, are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. According to this article, only heart disease, cancer, and stroke kill more Americans than drugs prescribed by medical doctors. Reactions to prescription drugs kill more than twice as many Americans as HIV/AIDS or suicide. Fewer die from accidents or diabetes than adverse drug reactions. It is important to point out the limitations of this study. It did not include outpatients, cases of malpractice, or instances where the drugs were not taken as directed.

According to another AMA publication, drug related "problems" kill as many as 198,815 people, put 8.8 million in hospitals, and account for up to 28% of hospital admissions. [5] If these figures are accurate, only cancer and heart disease kill more patients than drugs. Has the situation improved since the publication of this information? Hardly. Null [6] et al have published the most comprehensive and well-documented study I have seen of deaths associated with medical practice. In this report, their research revealed some shocking facts. The findings are summarized in the abstract:

Pushing Prescriptions: How the Drug Industry Sells Its Agenda at Your Expense

The drug industry, Washingtons's largest lobby, spent more than $189 million on lobbying last year, a recent investigation from the Center for Public Integrity shows. That's up 32 percent since 2006 and -- get this -- nearly three times the amount they spent on lobbying in 1998, the first for which year complete data is available.

CPI's report, Pushing Prescriptions: How the Drug Industry Sells Its Agenda at Your Expense, also shows that Big Pharma has significantly upped its campaign contributions to Democrats since their November 2006 win. Nearly half of that money went to members of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, House Committee on Ways and Means, and Senate Committee on Health, Education and Labor -- all of which are supposed to regulate the pharmaceutical industry.

Apparently, all that cash did the trick. The drug companies' intense lobbying -- I wish we could just say "bribing" and call it what it really is -- has sped up the drug approval process (arguably decreasing the attention given to drug safety), delayed the entry of lower cost generic drugs to the market, increased direct-to-consumer advertising (which has risen 20-fold in the last 10 years), created incentives for performing drug testing on kids, and resulted in a serious conflict of interest by "making the FDA dependent on the industry it regulates for budgetary resources."

Beware of Rogers & The Other Big Internet Providers

They are doing the sneaky dance and "we don't know what you are talking about" game, feigning ignorance. The only downfall? WE AREN'T STUPID!

It would be nice to know where Rogers, Telus and the other big guns stand on Net Neutrality, Package Shaping, Internet 2 and freedom to access ALL websites on the internet without making things slow to respond to servers not "liked" by our controlling government and corporate suppression. Where are your press releases & votes of confidence boys? Why are you so quiet?

Here are a few examples:

"Geist offers the example of profs who post their lectures online via an application called BitTorrent, free software designed to send large amounts of multi-media data from point A to point B. He says lately these video clips and audio files "slow to a crawl" when students try to download them because of "package-shaping" practices by companies like Rogers."


"Another wrinkle with deregulation is what happens when the carriers start to peep at what it is they're carrying, and then discriminate based on what they see. The landmark example -- the one that even advocates in the U.S. cite -- actually took place here in Canada when Telus blocked a website run by striking Telus employees called "Voices for Change.""

http://thetyee.ca/Mediacheck/2007/01/17/NetNeutrality/I am concerned that the freedom of information & speech is dwindling away with these 403 errors & slow connections. What's really going on Rogers? Another slow and sneaky way to deter us from Truth websites (all the ones I have errors with happen to be awareness sites: http://www.airapparent.ca/ & http://www.thank-water.net/ etc.)

WE NEED TO START ASKING THESE COMPANIES MORE QUESTIONS & PUT THE PRESSURE ON! THANK YOU!

Global Warming 'Scare Tactics' in Full Swing

by Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media

This would be funny if it wasn't so serious. The first thing you will notice is the classical 'double-speak' when outlining this new threat. The headline reads: "Midwest Floods Show Signs of Global Warming". Kind of screams: "George Bush was right, we need to stay in Iraq to fight the "evil doers" or we will all die".

But when you read this "did I scare you" article, what we find is a simple warning that there will be warming and cooling trends. No kidding, I did not know that. :-)) Here is the embarrassing statement made by a proclaimed climate scientist.

"Although no single weather event can be attributed to global warming, it's critical to understand that a warming climate is supplying the very conditions that fuel these kinds of weather events," said Amanda Staudt, a climate scientist with the National Wildlife Federation.


The double-speak gets even more entertaining after this 'critical thinking' moment. Instead of quoting these outrageous 'watch-the-bouncing -ball' trickery of manipulation, you must read it for yourself. Laughter aside, this really does have a very serious implication.

As stated in my book "Global Warming: A Convenient Disguise", mass migration is a real and probable outcome. There is a real danger of 'blowback' caused by the global warming regime initiating this 'red herring' in the very same manner as the Bush administration and Iraq. The end result is no one believes or trusts Bubba and his regime because of all the flagrant lies and overt manipulation. So when real threats of national security were to arise, we may not act fast enough. The global warming army has cast themselves in the same mold.

The Greatest SCAM in history is what John calls the fear and media hype that's going on about Global Warming. Mr. Coleman can barely believe how many people have fallen for the global warming claims and predictions of disaster. Coleman said that climate change is a big lie. Coleman, a weatherman himself who founded the Weather Channel, claims to have read dozens of scientific papers and spoke with numerous scientists, and they also agree that there is no such thing as global warming. Calling global warming and climate change one a scam, Coleman believes that in time the climate theory will be proven to be a scam when none of the predicted catastrophic events actually materialize.
