 officials from the former US administration had warned a 9/11 
investigation panel against probing too deeply into the terrorist 
attacks&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 
sans-serif" size="2"&gt;. 18 Mar 2010 In a letter obtained by the American 
Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the 9/11 Commission was refused permission
 to question terror suspects, with the Bush administration arguing that 
by doing so the panel would "cross" a "line" and obstruct the 
administration's efforts to protect the nation. Citing the need to 
"Safeguard the national security, including protection of Americans from
 [their] future terrorist attacks," the government officials demanded 
the Commission not make further attempts at conducting a deeper probe 
into the September 11 terror attacks. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana, Arial,

170310top2" border="1" height="333" width="500"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Documents recently obtained by the ACLU show that the  
government warned the 9/11 Commission against getting to the bottom of  
the September 11 terror attacks in a letter signed by Attorney General  
John Ashcroft, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and CIA Director  
George J. Tenet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;In a letter dated January 6, 2004, the Commission was  
refused permission to question terrorist detainees, with inquiry  
leaders Hamilton and Kean being told there was “A line that the  
Commission should not cross,” in the course of its investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;A PDF of the letter (page 26) can be &lt;a href="http://www.aclu.org/files/assets/CIA.pdf"&gt;read here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;The government urged the Commission, “Not to further  
pursue the proposed request to participate in the questioning of  
detainees,” according to the letter, citing the need to “Safeguard the  
national security, including protection of Americans from future  
terrorist attacks.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;The warning was just one example of how the Bush  
administration fiercely struggled to prevent the 9/11 Commission from  
conducting a deeper probe into the attacks. &lt;a href="http://www.counterpunch.org/vest03312004.html"&gt;Bush and Cheney 
refused to  appear before the Commission separately&lt;/a&gt; and both refused
 to testify under oath, instead meeting with panel  members informally 
and in private, with no recordings of the meeting  allowed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;“It appears that David Addington took the lead on  
refusing the 9/11 Commission’s request,” &lt;a href="http://emptywheel.firedoglake.com/2010/03/16/did-addington-oppose-911-commission-questions-to-avoid-independent-evaluation-of-torture-program/"&gt;writes
  the FireDogLake blog&lt;/a&gt;.  “It appears Addington got the draft of the 
letter from 9/11  Commission–which was addressed to Rummy and George 
Tenet. Tenet and  Addington clearly had a conversation about how to 
respond. But it seems  that Addington drafted the response, got Condi, 
Andy Card, and Alberto  Gonzales to review it, and then sent it to Tenet
 (and, presumably,  Rummy) to okay and sign the letter.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;As FireDogLake rightly points out, this was part of an  
attempt to cover-up the systematic torture of detainees which did not  
fully come to light until the Abu Ghraib scandal was exposed in April  
2004.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;However, the refusal to allow access to detainees was  
also undoubtedly so that the Commission members couldn’t later blow the 
 whistle on the fact that the men were nothing more than patsies and &lt;a href="http://www.dispatchpolitics.com/live/content/national_world/stories/2008/06/15/detainees_side_0615.ART_ART_06-15-08_A4_HNAGCSB.html?sid=101"&gt;goat
  herders&lt;/a&gt; who had nothing whatsoever to do with the 9/11 attacks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As we have constantly emphasized in the face of establishment media  
spin that has demonized the mere act of questioning the official 9/11  
story, the majority of the 9/11 Commission members themselves have all  
gone on record to publicly slam the official story as untrue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/911-commission-counsel-government-agreed-to-lie-about-911.html"&gt;The
  senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission&lt;/a&gt; – John Farmer – said that 
the government agreed not to tell the truth  about 9/11, echoing the 
assertions of fellow 9/11 Commission members  who concluded that the 
Pentagon was engaged in deliberate deception  about their response to 
the attack.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Senator Max Cleland, who resigned from the 9/11 Commission  after 
calling it a “national scandal”, &lt;a href="http://www.pbs.org/now/transcript/transcript_cleland.html"&gt;stated 
in a  2003 PBS interview&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I’m saying that’s deliberate. I am saying that the delay in  
relating this information to the American public out of a hearing…  
series of hearings, that several members of Congress knew eight or ten  
months ago, including Bob Graham and others, that was deliberately slow 
 walked… the 9/11 Commission was deliberately slow walked, because the  
Administration’s policy was, and its priority was, we’re gonna take 
Saddam  Hussein out.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cleland, &lt;a href="http://www.democracynow.org/2004/3/23/the_white_house_has_played_cover"&gt;speaking
  with Democracy Now&lt;/a&gt;, said,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“One of these days we will have to get the full story because the  
9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to  
cover it up”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2006 the Washington Post reported that several members of  the 
9/11 Commission suspected deception on part of the Pentagon. &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/01/AR2006080101300.html?sub=new"&gt;As
  reported&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel  
concluded that the Pentagon’s initial story of how it reacted to the  
2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to  
mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection of the  
fog of events on that day, according to sources involved in the debate.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerry also has unanswered questions. &lt;a href="http://www.salon.com/ent/feature/2006/06/27/911_conspiracies/index4.html"&gt;As
  reported by Salon&lt;/a&gt;, he believes that there are legitimate reasons 
to believe an alternative version to the  official story.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some  
alternative to what we outlined in our version,” Kerry said. The  
commission had limited time and limited resources to pursue its  
investigation, and its access to key documents and witnesses was  
fettered by the administration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Commissioner Tim Roemer, &lt;a href="http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/08/02/9-11panel.pentagon/index.html"&gt;speaking
  to CNN&lt;/a&gt;, stated that Commission members were considering a criminal
 probe of  false statements. As quoted,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were  
getting,” Roemer told CNN. “We were not sure of the intent, whether it  
was to deceive the commission or merely part of the fumbling  
bureaucracy.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite the fact that the majority of 9/11 Commission members have  
openly attacked the official story, the corporate media still frames  
any suspicion surrounding 9/11 as baseless conspiracy fodder at best, &lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/shameful-anti-free-speech-lobby-labels-questioning-government-hate.html"&gt;and
  at worst – terrorist and extremist propaganda&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

against crossing the lines in its probes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;span id="ctl00_body_spnBody"&gt;&lt;div class="newsDetailBody"&gt;Leaked
 confidential documents have revealed that senior officials from the 
former US administration had warned a 9/11 investigation panel against 
probing too deeply into the terrorist attacks.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;In a letter obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), 
the 9/11 Commission was refused permission to question terror suspects, 
with the Bush administration arguing that by doing so the panel would 
"cross" a "line" and obstruct the administration's efforts to protect 
the nation.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Citing the need to "Safeguard the national security, including 
protection of Americans from future terrorist attacks," the government 
officials demanded the Commission not make further attempts at 
conducting a deeper probe into the September 11 terror attacks.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;"As the officers of the United States responsible for the law 
enforcement, defense and intelligence functions of the Government, we 
urge your Commission not to further pursue the proposed request to 
participate in the questioning of detainees," the letter said.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;The warning note dated January 6, 2004 has been signed by former 
Attorney General John Ashcroft, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and 
CIA Director George Tenet.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;The 9/11 Commission was set up in November 2002 to prepare a full 
account of the circumstances surrounding the attacks, which still have 
an air of suspicion around them.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;The revelation comes as according to a recent survey, one-quarter of
 US adults believe that the 2001 terrorist attacks were fabricated.

News Program, Study Finds" height="245" width="350"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;ScienceDaily&lt;/strong&gt;
 (Feb. 11, 2010) — A fictional television drama may be more effective in
 persuading young women to use birth control than a news-format program 
on the same issue, according to a new study. Researchers found that 
college-age women who viewed a televised drama about a teen pregnancy 
felt more vulnerable two weeks after watching the show, and this led to 
more support for using birth control.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, those who watched a news program detailing the difficulties 
caused by teen pregnancies were unmoved, and had no change in their 
intentions to use birth control.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The results show the power that narratives like TV shows can 
have in influencing people&lt;/strong&gt;, said Emily Moyer-Gusé, co-author of
 the study and assistant professor of communication at Ohio State 
University.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;A message that is hidden inside of a story may overcome some
 of the resistance people have to being told how to behave&lt;/strong&gt;,” 
Moyer-Gusé said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The impact that dramatized stories have on people’s beliefs and 
intentions depends a lot on the individual viewers, and not just the 
message — but our results suggest the effect can be there.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moyer-Gusé conducted the study with Robin Nabi of the University of 
California, Santa Barbara. Their research appears in the current issue 
of the journal &lt;em&gt;Human Communication Research&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The study involved 353 undergraduate students between the ages of 18 
and 25. All of them watched one of two programs that focused on the 
difficulties associated with unplanned teen pregnancies. Half of the 
participants watched a program developed by the National Campaign to 
Prevent Teen Pregnancy to be broadcast on Channel One — a news program 
that airs in many U.S. high schools. This program used a news format, 
and profiled male and female teen parents. The overall message was that 
teen pregnancy makes life as a young adult more difficult.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The remaining participants watched an episode of the U.S. teen drama,
 The OC. In this episode, high-school students Ryan and Theresa faced 
the difficult consequences of an unintended pregnancy. The programs were
 pre-tested with other students, who agreed that they both had the same 
main message concerning the difficulties of teen pregnancy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before watching the programs, participants completed questionnaires 
concerning how often they used some form of birth control if they were 
sexually active, and their intentions to use birth control over the next
 year. Immediately after viewing the programs, participants filled out 
questionnaires concerning how much they were emotionally involved in the
 program, how much they identified with the characters, and other issues
 concerning their response to the programs they viewed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two weeks later, they were contacted again and asked about their 
intentions to use birth control. The researchers found that male and 
females had different responses to the programs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Watching the news-format program had no effect on men’s safe-sex 
intentions two weeks later.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But two weeks after watching The OC, men said they were actually less
 likely to follow birth control practices than they did before they 
viewed the program. That was probably because men reported they didn’t 
like the program as much as women did, and didn’t identify with the 
characters, Moyer-Gusé said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Women had a different reaction to the programs. The news-format 
program had no effect on their intentions to use birth control. But 
those who watched The OC episode were more likely to report in two weeks
 that they planned on taking steps to prevent pregnancy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The findings revealed some of the underlying mechanisms that made the
 TV drama persuasive to many women viewers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Findings showed that viewers who said they identified with the two 
main characters in The OC episode also felt, when contacted two weeks 
later, that they were more vulnerable to an unplanned pregnancy. That, 
in turn, led to greater intentions to use birth control.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Many of the women participants were able to put themselves in the 
place of the characters and sense they could end up in a similar 
situation if they weren’t careful,” Moyer-Gusé said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Feeling vulnerable was the key to accepting birth control practices 
for the women in the study.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“One of the reasons why some people avoid safer sex behaviors is 
because they feel invulnerable — they have this optimistic bias that 
nothing bad will ever happen to them,” she said. “But if you vicariously
 experience a bad result happening to you by watching a narrative 
program, that may change behavior in a way that is difficult to achieve 
through a direct message.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Participants, particularly women, were more likely to be persuaded to
 use birth control if they felt the program they watched didn’t have an 
overt safe-sex message. Most people didn’t think The OC episode was 
preaching the use of birth control, but those who did were much less 
likely to increase their intentions to use birth control, the findings 
showed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, those who reported that they reacted to the characters 
in The OC as if they were friends were also less likely to see an overt 
message in the show, and were more likely to accept birth control 
practices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moyer-Gusé emphasized that the results don’t mean that men aren’t 
persuaded by narratives such as TV dramas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The show we chose happened to connect less with the men. But if we 
picked another topic or another show, I believe a narrative program 
could also be persuasive to male viewers.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While these results suggest persuasive messages might be better 
received by people if they are wrapped up in a story, Moyer-Gusé 
cautions that it isn’t always that simple. As the different reactions of
 men and women in this study showed, a lot depends on the individual 
viewers and not just the message.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The problem with using stories to persuade people is that people can
 interpret them in different ways. You don’t always get the results you 
expect,” she said.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt;
 &lt;p id="ynw-article-part2"&gt;Youngsters at Grace Academy in Chelmsley Wood
 claim they returned from half-term to find staff had installed the 
cameras without notifying them or their parents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some parents are 
furious at what they say is a "total invasion of privacy" and claim some
 pupils are so anxious about being watched they are refusing to use the 
facilities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One mother whose teenage daughter attends the school 
is concerned the footage could fall into the wrong hands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She told
 the Sunday Mercury: "She came home from school and told me security 
cameras had been installed in the girl's toilets but we didn't know 
anything about it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"You would expect the school to have consulted 
parents first yet we received no information and no letters have been 
sent home explaining this decision."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grace Academy claims the 
cameras only cover the sink areas and have not yet been activated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;School
 principal Terry Wales told Sky News: "It's to safeguard our youngsters,
 many schools are using cameras now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We had a parents' forum last
 night, we explained the arrangements and the parents were satisfied.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We've
 found that when it comes to health and safety, children want to feel 
secure."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But privacy campaigners warned about the psychological 
effects of the feeling of being watched, even if cameras are not 
switched on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dylan Sharpe from &lt;a href="http://uk.news.yahoo.com/fc/big-brother.html"&gt;Big Brother&lt;/a&gt; 
Watch told Sky News: "Children are entitled to privacy like anyone else.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We're
 raising a generation of children accustomed to being constantly watched
 and monitored, whether cameras are switched on or not."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grace 
Academy already has 26 CCTV cameras watching other parts of the school.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The
 incident is the latest row to erupt between schools and parents who are
 concerned about safeguarding their children's privacy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last year 
police were called to a school in Salford after parents were horrified 
to discover children had been filmed changing into their PE kit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although
 the footage was not misused, police seized the film after negotiating 
with the school.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2007 it was revealed schools had fingerprinted
 thousands of primary school children without their parent's consent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The
 Department for Children, Schools and Families later ruled that if 
schools want to obtain and store biometric data from children, consent 
is not required from parents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><category>Police State</category><category>Education</category><comments>http://unplugthesignal.com/2010/03/14/parents-angry-over-cctv-in-school-toilets.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">0391dc83-0ba9-4dd5-8063-626a81d484c2</guid><pubDate>Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:54:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Primary school children in tears after they are told they will be removed from families as part of Holocaust 'game'</title><link>http://unplugthesignal.com/2010/03/14/primary-school-children-in-tears-after-they-are-told-they-will-be-removed-from-families-as-part-of-holocaust-game.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Red Baron</dc:creator><description>

&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;A group of stunned primary schoolchildren began crying when their
 teacher told them during a bizarre Holocaust game that they were to be 
taken away from their families.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The pupils, aged 11, became upset 
after a number of them were segregated and told they were being sent 
away or might end up in an orphanage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The ordeal was meant to give
 the youngsters at the Lanarkshire school an insight into the horrors 
faced by Jewish children during World War II.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="clear"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="clear"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="thinCenter"&gt;
&lt;img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/03/10/article-1256984-08AA50DB000005DC-147_468x253.jpg" alt="St Hilary's Primary School" class="blkBorder" height="253" width="468"&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;" class="imageCaption"&gt;The exercise was 
intended to give the pupils at St Hilary's Primary School an insight 
into the horrors faced by Jewish children during World War II &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;But
 the exercise, which was sprung without warning on the children
at St Hilary's Primary School in East Kilbride last Thursday morning,
reduced several to tears.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Deputy head teacher Elizabeth McGlynn segregated nine pupils and
told them they were to be sent away. After 15 minutes they were told it
was all an act but that the role play would carry on up to lunchtime.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One angry parent, who has lodged an official complaint about the 
exercise, told how the 'barbaric' role play upset the children.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a letter sent to council bosses, the unnamed mother said: 'Mrs
McGlynn told the children they would probably have to be sent away from
their families and that their parents had been informed about this and
knew all about it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;'When one child asked if that meant they might have to go to an 
orphanage, they were told that might be a possibility.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;'At that point many of the children became very distressed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;'One boy kicked his chair over, one was angry and demanded to speak
to someone in charge but most were crying on a scale ranging from
mildly to severely.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;'Their ordeal lasted between 12 and 15 minutes before the children
were informed that it was all an act but that the role play would
continue until lunchtime.'&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One girl said her classmates began crying when Mrs McGlynn told them
she had a letter from the Scottish Executive saying nine children had
to be separated from their classmates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She told the shocked youngsters those who were born in January,
February and March had lower IQs than other children, 'due to lack of
sunlight in their mother's womb', and that they had to put yellow hats
on and be sent to the library.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The mother added: 'When I asked why on earth they thought it was
appropriate to deliver a role play situation to the children in this
way, Mrs Stewart informed me that they didn't inform the children
beforehand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;'This was because they wanted the children to experience an
"accurate emotional response" to this scenario in order for it to be
reflected in their story writing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;'Mrs Stewart then invited me to come up to the school and see the
excellent work that had been produced as a result of the exercise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;'I declined and my position and opinion on the method used to
extract emotive story writing from the children was cruel, barbaric,
traumatic and totally, totally unethical.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;'My daughter and indeed no child needs to feel the terror, fear,
panic, segregation and horror that a child of the Holocaust experienced
during one of the worst atrocities in history to be able to empathise
with them in order to produce good story writing.'&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A South Lanarkshire council spokeswoman, who confirmed that a role
play activity took place, said: 'The council can confirm that a parent
handed in a letter to Education Resources on Monday, March 8, 2010, and
this will be responded to shortly.'&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An estimated six million Jews died in the Holocaust. Jewish children
in Nazi Europe had to wear yellow Star of David badges during World War
II.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jews also had to live apart from the rest of the population in 
ghettos.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally they were taken to concentration camps, where most were 
separated from their parents then killed.&lt;/p&gt;</description><category>Brave NW</category><category>Education</category><comments>http://unplugthesignal.com/2010/03/14/primary-school-children-in-tears-after-they-are-told-they-will-be-removed-from-families-as-part-of-holocaust-game.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">07bee601-7081-4e71-915c-e23c3acfbc61</guid><pubDate>Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:52:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Vaccines 'are making our dogs sick as vets cash in'</title><link>http://unplugthesignal.com/2010/03/14/vaccines-are-making-our-dogs-sick-as-vets-cash-in.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Red Baron</dc:creator><description>

&lt;p&gt;Vaccines given to dogs are making them ill, a pet charity claimed 
yesterday. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Profit-hungry drug companies and vets are 
'frightening' dog owners into inoculating their pets more often than 
necessary, according to Canine Health Concern. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some puppies 
have developed conditions including autism and epilepsy after a raft of 
injections, it warns. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Catherine O'Driscoll, from the charity,
 said: 'We are not anti-vaccination. What we are saying is that 
currently our pets are receiving far too many. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'The latest 
scientific research shows that after the first course of injections as a
 puppy most dogs are immune against these diseases for at least seven 
years, if not for life. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'Every year pet vaccination companies
 hold National Vaccination Month, a national campaign when pet owners 
whose boosters have lapsed by 18 months or more are terrified into 
having their pet jabbed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'While the vast majority of vets 
might simply not be aware of the latest scientific research, we are 
concerned that for a few undoubtedly doing multiple jabs is a way of 
making more money from worried pet owners.' &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Puppies are 
vaccinated against distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, leptospirosis and 
parainfluenza up to three times by the age of four months. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They
 may also be immunised against coronavirus, rabies, Lyme disease and 
bordetella or kennel cough. Booster shots are given every year or every 
three or four years. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But some have suffered dramatic changes 
in behaviour or been diagnosed with cancer within months of the 
injections, Canine Health Concern says. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a letter backed by
 17 vets and other pet experts, the charity has called on the Veterinary
 Medicines Directorate, which monitors animal vaccines, to issue new 
advice on their use.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mrs O'Driscoll, who believes cats and 
rabbits could also be at risk, added that a simple blood test would 
determine whether an animal needed a booster shot. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Richard 
Allport, a Hertfordshire vet who has signed the letter to the VMD, said 
he was 'constantly' seeing animals that had developed 'worrying 
symptoms' after vaccination. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But other animal charities said 
vaccination was vital. The Dogs Trust said all jabs were thoroughly 
tested for safety and warned that blood tests were not completely 
reliable. Its veterinary director, Chris Laurence, said a study looking 
for a connection between jabs and sudden ill-health failed to find a 
link. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Professor Steve Dean, chief executive of the VMD, said:
 'Many veterinary surgeons can remember the devastating effects these 
once common-diseases had on our pets, their owners and families, and the
 huge benefit vaccines have had on improving the health and welfare of 
the canine population should be recognised.' &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A spokesman 
added that the 80million-plus doses of vaccine since 1985 had generated 
fewer than 7,000 reports of side effects. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="clear"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="thinCenter"&gt;

KRISTIAN DAS / MyFox New York&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class="story last"&gt;&lt;p&gt;MYFOXNY.COM - Some New York City chefs and 
restaurant owners are taking aim at a  &lt;a href="http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?default_fld=&amp;amp;bn=A10129&amp;amp;Summary=Y&amp;amp;Text=Y" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;bill&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  introduced in the New York 
Legislature that, if passed, would ban the use of salt in restaurant 
cooking.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"No owner or operator of a restaurant in this state 
shall use salt in any form in the preparation of any food for 
consumption by customers of such restaurant, including food prepared to 
be consumed on the premises of such restaurant or off of such premises,"
 the bill,  &lt;a href="http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?default_fld=&amp;amp;bn=A10129&amp;amp;Summary=Y&amp;amp;Text=Y" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;A. 10129&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; , states in part.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The
 legislation, which Assemblyman  &lt;a href="http://assembly.state.ny.us/mem/?ad=051" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Felix
 Ortiz&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; , D-Brooklyn, introduced on March 5, would fine 
restaurants $1,000 for each violation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"The consumer needs to 
make their own health choices. Just as doctors and the occasional visit 
to a hospital can't truly control how a person chooses to maintain their
 health, neither can chefs nor the occasional visit to a restaurant," 
said Jeff Nathan, the executive chef and co-owner of Abigael's on 
Broadway. "Modifying trans fats and sodium intake needs to be home based
 for optimal health. Regulating restaurants will not solve this health 
issue."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Nathan is part of the group  &lt;a href="http://www.myfoodmychoice.org/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;My Food 
My Choice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; , which calls itself a coalition of chefs, 
restaurant owners, and consumers, called the proposed law "absurd" in a 
press release issued on its Facebook page.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ortiz has said the 
salt ban would allow restaurant patrons to decide how salty they want 
their meals to be.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"In this way, consumers have more control over
 the amount of sodium they intake, and are given the option to exercise 
healthier diets and healthier lifestyles," Ortiz said, according to a  &lt;a href="http://www.nrn.com/breakingNews.aspx?id=380356&amp;amp;menu_id=1368#ixzz0hp2Bijf1" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Nation's Restaurant News&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  report.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt;But many chefs and restaurant owners said they are tired of 
politicians dictating what they can serve and what people can eat. They 
have opposed the city's anti-sodium and anti-transfat campaigns.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Chefs
 would be handcuffed in their food preparation, and many are already in 
open rebellion over this legislation," said Orit Sklar, of My Food My 
Choice. "Ortiz and fellow anti-salt zealot Mayor Michael Bloomberg of 
New York City seek to undermine the food and restaurant business in the 
entire state."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The American Heart Association  &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4708"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;encourages&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  Americans to reduce their sodium intake and has advocated the 
reduction of sodium used by food manufacturers and restaurants by 50 
percent over a 10-year period.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</description><category>Nutrition</category><comments>http://unplugthesignal.com/2010/03/14/chefs-call-proposed-new-york-salt-ban-absurd.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">8fedfbf3-a144-4a50-b429-fd0a2dcba371</guid><pubDate>Sun, 14 Mar 2010 13:13:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>ABC Vs.

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/22814488/detail.html" target="_blank"&gt;“investigative”  team at WCVB TV in Boston&lt;/a&gt; ran a 
story yesterday about an unknown  substance in fluoride imported from 
China. “Team 5 Investigates  found the Amesbury Water Department pulled 
fluoride from its system  amid concerns about its supply from China,” 
the news station  reported. “Department of Public Works Director Rob 
Desmarais  said after he mixes the white powder with water, 40 percent 
of it  will not dissolve.” Desmarais said the residue clogs his  
machines and makes it difficult to get a consistent level of fluoride  
in the town’s water.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;td class="photo-caption" width="400"&gt;A screen capture from the WCVB TV 
report reveals fluoride added to drinking water is a deadly toxin.&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td height="8"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the video report below, WCVB  mentions melamine in food products 
and the heavy metal cadmium in  toys imported from China while 
completely ignoring the larger and  more important issue — fluoride is 
an extremely dangerous toxin that  kills.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Fluoride is added to the water  most of us drink because the 
government believes it’s a safe and  inexpensive way to prevent tooth 
decay.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fluoride does not prevent tooth decay.  &lt;a href="http://thyroid.about.com/cs/relatedconditions/a/flushot.htm" target="_blank"&gt;According  to numerous studies&lt;/a&gt;, water fluoridation 
actually increases tooth  decay. The AMA and others fallaciously claim 
that fluoride added to  over 62% of U.S. water supplies reduces tooth 
decay. However, no less  than six studies from dental journals show it 
does not and, in fact,  may increase the likelihood of dental cavities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Exposure to fluoride often results in  dental  fluorosis. Large 
numbers of U.S. young people — estimated &lt;a href="http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/teeth/fluorosis/" target="_blank"&gt;up  to 80 percent&lt;/a&gt; in some cities — now have dental 
fluorosis, the  first visible sign of excessive fluoride exposure. 
Dental fluorosis  consists of damage to tooth-forming cells, leading to a
 defect in  tooth enamel. It is also an indicator of fluoride damage to 
bones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WCVB TV’s own report reveals that  fluoride is a deadly chemical. 
Near the beginning of the video, we  are shown an industrial sized bag 
of fluoride at the  Amesbury Water  Department. “Sodium Fluoride,” a 
label on the bag warns,  “Danger! Poison-Toxic by Ingestion.” The label 
states the  chemical targets the heart, kidneys, bones, central nervous 
system,  the gastrointestinal system, and teeth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-zCfqoj_tC4&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;amp;color2=0x6b8ab6"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-zCfqoj_tC4&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Studies reveal fluoride also attacks  the immune and respiratory  
systems. It negatively affects blood circulation and accumulates in  the
 bones. It attacks thyroid function. Fluoride also accelerates  aging. &lt;a href="http://preventdisease.com/home/tips79.shtml" target="_blank"&gt;Austrian
  researchers&lt;/a&gt; proved in the 1970s that as little as 1 ppm fluoride  
concentration can disrupt DNA repair enzymes by 50%. When DNA can’t  
repair damaged cells, advanced aging occurs. Researchers from Harvard  
University and the National Institutes of Health knew in the 1960s  that
 &lt;a href="http://www.fluoridealert.org/aging-factor.htm" target="_blank"&gt;fluoride
  disrupted collagen synthesis&lt;/a&gt; and increased aging.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead of the in-your-face danger of  fluoride presented in the 
“investigative” news report, the  intrepid reporters at WCVB concentrate
 on the mystery substance from  China and connect it to melamine and 
cadmium. Talk about missing the  forest for the trees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The  fluoride added to 90% of drinking water is hydrofluoric acid 
which is  a compound of fluorine that is a chemical byproduct of 
aluminum,  steel, cement, phosphate, and nuclear weapons manufacturing. 
“In  this form, fluoride has no nutrient value whatsoever. It is one of 
 the most caustic of industrial chemicals. Fluoride is the active  toxin
 in rat poisons and cockroach powder,” notes &lt;a href="http://preventdisease.com/home/tips79.shtml" target="_blank"&gt;Prevent
  Disease&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moreover,  hydrofluoric acid is used to refine high octane gasoline, 
to make  fluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons for freezers and air  
conditioners, and to manufacture computer screens, fluorescent light  
bulbs, semiconductors, plastics, herbicides, and remarkably  toothpaste.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fluoride  is a big time neurotoxin. &lt;a href="http://www.slweb.org/bibliography.html#brain" target="_blank"&gt;Substantial
  research&lt;/a&gt; reveals it results in widespread brain damage and  
learning disabilities. Extensive research on fluoride and the brain  has
 been prompted by studies from China, India, Iran, and Mexico  
discovering that &lt;a href="http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/brain/" target="_blank"&gt;elevated  levels of fluoride exposure are associated 
with IQ deficits in  children&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul class="ppani"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://rotate.infowars.com/www/delivery/ck.php?oaparams=2__bannerid=268__zoneid=49__cb=70a901fd6c__oadest=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gusset.com%2F" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div id="beacon_70a901fd6c" style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; visibility: hidden;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://rotate.infowars.com/www/delivery/lg.php?bannerid=268&amp;amp;campaignid=81&amp;amp;zoneid=49&amp;amp;loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.infowars.com%2Fstory-on-mystery-substance-distracts-from-fact-fluoride-is-a-deadly-killer%2F&amp;amp;referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.infowars.com%2F&amp;amp;cb=70a901fd6c" alt="" style="width: 0px; height: 0px;" height="0" width="0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Repeated  doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluoride will in time 
reduce an  individual’s power to resist domination, by slowly poisoning 
and  narcotizing a certain area of the brain, thus making him submissive
  to the will of those who wish to govern him,” the chemist &lt;a href="http://www.infonews.co.nz/news.cfm?l=1&amp;amp;t=0&amp;amp;id=17791" target="_blank"&gt;Charles  Perkins&lt;/a&gt; wrote to the Lee Foundation for 
Nutritional Research in  Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on 2 October 1954.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Perkins  explained how the Nazis exchanged ideas with the Russians on
 mass  medication of a population through drinking water prior to 
invading  Poland in 1939. “I was told of this entire scheme by a German 
 chemist who was an official of the great IG Farben chemical  industries
 and was also prominent in the Nazi movement at the time. I  say this 
with all the earnestness and sincerity of a scientist who  has spent 
nearly 20 years’ research into the chemistry, biochemistry,  physiology 
and pathology of fluorine — any person who drinks  artificially 
fluoridated water for a period of one year or more will  never again be 
the same person mentally or physically.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both  Nazi and Soviet concentration camps maintained fluoride  
administration to inmates to decrease resistance to authority.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However,  of vital importance to our eugenics-minded rulers, fluoride
 has  repeatedly been found to interfere with reproduction. “A few human
  studies suggested that high concentrations of fluoride exposure might 
 be associated with alterations in reproductive hormones, effects on  
fertility, and developmental outcomes,” the &lt;a href="http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/epa/nrc/index.html" target="_blank"&gt;National  Research Council&lt;/a&gt; reported in 2006. In 
1994, the &lt;a href="http://www.fluoridealert.org/health/repro/" target="_blank"&gt;Journal  of Toxicology and Environmental Health&lt;/a&gt; 
published a study  demonstrating a correlation between fluoride and 
reduced fertility  and birth rates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fluoride  is no longer confined to drinking water. According to the &lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/11/041122093050.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Agricultural  Research Service&lt;/a&gt;, as of 2004 fluoride 
was present in 400 separate  food and beverage items.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;None  of this was mentioned in the  WCVB TV news report. Instead we 
are  told to worry about melamine and cadmium, both certainly dangerous 
 but nowhere approaching the threat level posed by massive fluoride  
poisoning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As  for the story researchers at  WCVB TV, one has to wonder if maybe
  their cognitive ability to get to the bottom of the real story was  
seriously affected by a lifetime of fluoride ingestion.&lt;/p&gt;</description><category>Fluoride</category><comments>http://unplugthesignal.com/2010/03/14/story-on-mystery-substance-distracts-from-fact-fluoride-is-a-deadly-killer.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">633822af-c6ef-485e-bf4f-4045adf2dd39</guid><pubDate>Sun, 14 Mar 2010 13:10:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Study shows Flu Shots are a hoax!</title><link>http://unplugthesignal.com/2010/03/14/study-shows-flu-shots-are-a-hoax.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Red Baron</dc:creator><description>&lt;div style="font-size: 12px;" class="story-content"&gt;

today.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;A new Canadian-led study has added to a simmering scientific 
dispute over flu-shot campaigns, concluding that immunizing nursing-home
 workers does nothing to cut the number of confirmed influenza cases 
among the homes' elderly residents.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;Coming at the end of the largest flu-vaccination campaign in 
Canadian history, the review of previous studies calls for stepped-up 
research into alternative, lower-tech ways to combat the virus, such as 
improved hand washing.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;"What troubled us is that [shots] had no effect on 
laboratory-confirmed influenza," said Dr. Roger Thomas of the University
 of Calgary, lead author of the paper published by the respected 
Cochrane Library.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;"What we were looking for is proof that influenza ... is 
decreased. Didn't find it. We looked for proof that pneumonia is 
reduced. Didn't find it. We looked for proof deaths from pneumonia are 
reduced. Didn't find it."&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;A prominent flu expert, however, calls the authors' conclusions 
misleading, noting that vaccinating workers does, in fact, lessen the 
amount of influenza-like sickness and the number of deaths from all 
causes among those nursing-home denizens. That is all that really 
matters, said Dr. Allison McGeer, infectious disease specialist at 
Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;"There is [very little] that you or I can do that is more 
effective at preventing deaths than vaccinating health-care workers in 
long-term care facilities," she said. "That's the bottom line .... There
 is no question."&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;The studies could not accurately gauge the effect of vaccination 
on actual laboratory-confirmed flu cases in nursing homes, because so 
few residents are tested, added Dr. McGeer. If labs had examined 
specimens from everyone in the studies, the results would likely have 
shown a reduction in confirmed flu cases, too, she said.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;The new paper's co-author is Dr. Tom Jefferson, a British 
epidemiologist who heads vaccine research for the respected Cochrane 
Collaboration -- and who has earned a reputation as a scientific 
dissident for his outspoken criticism of flu vaccination.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;In media interviews last year, Dr. Jefferson was quoted as saying
 he "can't see any reason" for vaccinating anyone against flu -- arguing
 the shots did nothing to save lives -- and that most influenza-vaccine 
studies are "rubbish."&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;Dr. McGeer said she finds it "mind boggling" that medical 
journals that publish Dr. Jefferson's work do not question his 
provocative analyses.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;"Scientists are passionate about what they do. All of us have 
belief systems and sometimes, as with any human endeavour, your belief 
system overwhelms the scientific evidence," she said. "The purpose of 
scientific method, the purpose of publication is to get back the 
objectivity ... And we are not doing that effectively with Dr. 
Jefferson."&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;The stakes in the debate are high. Governments spent more than 
$400-million on acquiring H1N1 pandemic vaccine for Canadians. The 
Ontario government alone spends about $23-million annually in providing 
seasonal-flu shots free to anyone who wants them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?s=y&amp;amp;authornamef=Penny+Marshall" class="author" rel="nofollow"&gt;Penny Marshall&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The English verb to chaperone comes from the French noun
'chaperon'&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; protector&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; and it is first recorded in Jane Austen's
novel Sense And Sensibility, published in 1811. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then, the
reputation of a young woman was considered so precious that she was
protected at all times if in male company by the presence of another
woman: a chaperone. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Jane Austen's world, a young woman and a young man were rarely, if ever, left alone together. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two
hundred years later, with sexual and feminist revolutions behind us,
we're in a world where there are few, if any, boundaries in place to
'protect' a woman's honour.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="clear"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="thinCenter"&gt;
&lt;img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/03/05/article-1255856-0896A9BA000005DC-177_468x462.jpg" alt="woman" class="blkBorder" height="462" width="468"&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;" class="imageCaption"&gt;Teenage boys are watching hours of internet pornography every week&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Women are free to behave as they wish, sleep with whomever they
wish, and the vast amounts of sexual content on TV and in films attests
to that. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In fact, many women would argue that the very idea of being 'chaperoned' is restrictive and demeaning. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And
yet among today's teenage girls, the chaperone has made a surprising
and&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; as we shall come to see&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; disturbing comeback. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today's
chaperone is called, in teenspeak, a 'third wheel'. And she is not
being forced on girls by concerned or controlling adults worried about
honour and etiquette. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="thinFloatRHS"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style="font-size: 2em; color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;Type the words 'sex pictures' into Google and it returns 83 million &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 2em; color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;results in less than one-tenth of a second&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The third wheel (the verb is 'to third wheel') has been re-invented
by the girls themselves because they want protection from the sexual
demands of their boyfriends. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I spoke to many teenage girls
in researching the subject, they told me these demands are both
'disturbing and upsetting', and they are certain they're being fuelled
by what their boyfriends are watching online: hard-core, explicit porn.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This deeply worrying trend is finally starting to be noticed by those in authority. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Psychologist
Dr Linda Papadopoulos has just published a government report into the
sexualisation of children, and is certain that exposure to porn is
having an adverse affect on the lives of today's teenagers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'My research has left me extremely concerned,' she says. 'A recent
survey showed that 54 per cent of boys found porn "really inspiring" in
terms of sexual performance. This worries me, because of the nature of
the material they are now watching. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'This isn't the type of
pornography that was around when we were teenagers. What kids are
seeing today is very often violent, and it has no intimacy, no respect,
no kindness, no context of sex within a loving relationship. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'It is very damaging to young people and to their relationships.' &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This
'obsession' with porn has now permeated the internet. According to
statistics published in last week's report on the sexualisation of
children, a quarter of all search- engine requests are porn-related,
and 1.5 per cent of all the websites in existence are pornographic. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="clear"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="thinCenter"&gt;
&lt;img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/03/05/article-1255856-03B8319B000005DC-413_468x286.jpg" alt="boy laptop" class="blkBorder" height="286" width="468"&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;" class="imageCaption"&gt;Only 37 per cent of parents have set up any parental controls on their teenagers' computers
(Posed by model)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Type
the words 'sex pictures' into the popular search engine Google and it
returns 83 &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;million &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;results in less than
one-tenth of a second. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Material that would have sparked an obscenity trial in my mother's day is now just a click away. It's deeply shocking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While
most computers do now come with filters that can be activated to block
inappropriate material, the latest research by internet software
companies suggests only 37 per cent of families in the UK have set up
any sort of parental controls on their teenagers' computers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But
modern teenagers are technology savvy: either they can get round the
controls themselves, or they can simply go to the house of a friend
whose access is not blocked. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John Carr, head of the Children's
Coalition on Child Internet Safety, warns that the advice to keep
children safe by not allowing them to access a computer alone in their
bedroom is already out of date. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="thinFloatRHS"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 2em;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;'Boys just want us to do all the stuff they see porn stars do' one 16-year-old girl told me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;'This stuff is everywhere now because of the way technology is
changing,' he says. 'Kids can get it on their mobile phones, through
their TV sets and iPods. Tragically, porn has never been easier to
access.' &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And that 'easy access', according to a group of 15 to
17-year- old girls I met while researching this article, is changing
the way their boyfriends are approaching sex. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These young women
are articulate, confident, streetwise. They come from a selection of
London's top independent and state schools, are dressed in slinky black
skirts, dark tights, trendy T-shirts and Ugg boots. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They are charming and respectable, but what they tell me is shocking. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'Boys
just want us to do all the stuff they see the porn stars do,' one
16-year-old girl told me. 'It's as if we have to pretend we are in a
movie. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'They want us to dress like porn stars in sexy
underwear, have bodies that look like porn stars, and sound and behave
like them too when we are alone. That's why we like to have our friends
around us now.'&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another 15-year-old told me that what her 16-year-old boyfriend had wanted her to do had made her cry. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The
sexual request is not suitable to be described in a family paper, but
as the mother of three daughters aged 16,15 and 13, I found it
particularly upsetting. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The girl told me the act was now considered to be the final frontier by dare-devil teenage boys; the so-called 'fifth base'. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reassuringly,
she did tell me she knew of no girl who had actually done it, and she
herself had refused and stopped seeing the boy. But when I was 15, I
had never even heard of it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'It makes me feel so unhappy to be
even asked about this stuff by a boy,' one girl told me. 'So I try not
to be alone with a boyfriend any more, to have a third wheel whenever I
can.' &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="thinFloatRHS"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 2em;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;Depressingly, it does appear that for teenage boys online porn is becoming a fact of life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another 16-year- old said, rather surprisingly, that while many
young girls might moan about their parents being too strict, she
actually resented her parents' 'forward-thinking' liberal attitude. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'I
wish my parents would say I'm not allowed to be home alone with a boy.
I wish they'd say boys aren't allowed in my bedroom. They make this big
deal about "trusting us", but that's not helping me. They have no idea
what goes on, and I'm too embarrassed to tell them.' &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I meet
another young girl who is 16 and wants to be a lawyer. She has been
going out with a boy for four months and really likes him; but she says
he changes when they are alone together. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'He even starts
talking as if he's in a movie,' she says. ' Suddenly, when we are being
intimate, he'll say something that he must have heard in a porn film.
For example, he'll call me a "bitch" and use dirty language that he'd
never use normally. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'It's awful. It's so obvious he's copying
his actions from watching porn. No boy would call you beautiful. They
use words like "hot" and "sexy". That's why my friends and I like using
third wheels. We want protection. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'We don't, of course, want a
world where we are not equal, like it was in Jane Austen's day. But in
some ways we've gone back to inequality anyway because we are not being
treated equally when it comes to what boys want from us when we are
alone with them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'It's all about performing sexual acts for them, and they assume we'll love it.' &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Teenagers
have always exaggerated how far they are going&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; or being asked to
go&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; and how much sex they are having. So what they say about sex,
especially when in a group, has to be taken with caution. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But depressingly, it does appear that for teenage boys online porn is becoming a fact of life. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="thinFloatRHS"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;font style="font-size: 2em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" color="#0000ff"&gt;Only 37 per cent of families in the UK have set up any sort of parental controls on their teenagers' computers&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Latest figures suggest that boys spend as much as three hours a week
gazing at porn; absorbing unrealistic images of aesthetically enhanced
people, many of whom are engaged in multi-partner, violent and
perverted sex acts. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some teenage boys go further and join live sex chats with strangers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before
the internet, it was believed that the average age at which a boy was
first exposed to soft and still pornography&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; the sort that appears
in a top-shelf magazine like Playboy&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; was 11. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The online
material available now is much more explicit video, and the latest
research by the London School of Economics suggests that boys even
younger than 11 may accidentally or deliberately be watching it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One
of the girls in the group I spoke to told me she found an nine-year-
old boy she was babysitting watching explicit porn on the family
computer when she went to read him his bedtime story. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'I think he did it to embarrass me,' she said. 'Which it most definitely did. I didn't tell his mother.' &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another
university student told me about a boy of 14 she knew who had become so
hooked on porn that his horrified parents had removed his bedroom door
so they could see what he was up to. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And the boys I spoke to while writing this piece freely admitted that they frequently watch online porn&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; and enjoy it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The
first group I met were sixth-form boys at a boarding school. Some
admitted they did find it a useful way to learn about sex; others told
me they sought out the most hardcore material to send to each other
'for a laugh'. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I asked if they felt they were being
desensitised by watching so much explicit material, they clearly
thought I was a prude. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In London, I met another group of boys
who told me that they, too, routinely watched porn and that it was a
good way of learning about sex and girls. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'It tells us how to
act and what they want,' one told me. 'So that has to be a good thing.
It doesn't mean we are sex maniacs. We are just not as uptight about
sex as your generation.' &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That, disturbingly, is not what I found from talking to the girls. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dr
Michael Flood, a sociologist based at the Australian Research Centre
for Sex Health and Society, is at the forefront of international
research into how exposure to internet porn is influencing the
behaviour of teenagers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He has just completed a study examining the impact of porn on the young people who watch it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'Boys
who watch explicit sexual material develop an increasing belief that
all of their friends and peers must all be highly sexually active,' he
told me. This, he believes, is desensitising them and putting them
under pressure to be doing the same. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'When boys are repeatedly
exposed to what I call nonmainstream-sexual behaviours, they may be
more likely to accept and adopt them as well. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'I am also very concerned that exposure to aggressive or violent pornography may be blurring the lines of consent.' &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In other words, he believes boys who watch violent porn are more likely to behave violently. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;None
of the girls I spoke to complained about sexual violence, but they did
talk about the difficulty of daring to say 'No' in a world that expects
them to say 'Yes'. And some did have experience of what they called
sexual bullying. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One girl told me a boy had used topless photos
of her to try to blackmail her into 'going further'. Another said her
boyfriend was quite 'aggressive in manner' when they were alone
together, which she didn't like or understand, using language that, she
believes, he learnt watching sadomasochistic porn. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They were
also all very frightened of the boys revealing intimate details about
what they called their 'performance' and body for public ridicule,
which with social networking sites such as Bebo and Facebook can be
done in seconds to a mass audience. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There was another aspect of
the boys' behaviour that they resented and feared: their interest in
seeing the girls behave sexually with each other&amp;nbsp; -&amp;nbsp; something they say
they are sure is coming from exposure to porn. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, if we
play truth or dare, or spin the bottle at a party, they will ask us to
kiss each other,' one girl told me. 'And they'll joke about worse stuff
just to embarrass us. It is bullying.' &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A recent survey carried
out by the NSPCC revealed that one in three teenage girls aged 13 to 17
had been subjected to unwanted sexual acts while in a relationship, and
one in four had suffered 'partner violence'. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The NSPCC's head
of child protection, Christopher Cloke, has described this as evidence
of a 'culture of confusion about what is acceptable among girls and
boys living in today's highly sexualised landscape'. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John Carr
agrees. He has for years been campaigning to put in place better
measures to protect children from this deluge of pornography, and now,
as the generation which has grown up exposed to such a deluge of porn
reaches sexual maturity, he fears the consequences. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;'It should
be very much harder for kids to get at,' he says. 'Having filters
already activated at point of sale on all computers is an obvious
solution for worried parents. It would be a start.' &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A good start for the next generation of girls, perhaps, but too late for this one. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We
now have girls who have grown up in such a highly sexualised
environment that some have been left feeling frightened and unhappy.
This, just at the time when they should be falling in love for the
first time and learning to trust the opposite sex. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We have
given our daughters the education and aspiration to be a prime minister
or an astronaut. But we haven't protected them from the sexualisation
that makes them so scared to be alone with a boy that they've quietly
brought back the chaperone. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Jane Austen wrote Sense And
Sensibility 200 years ago, Marianne Dashwood says to her sister Elinor:
perhaps men 'do not see us as people but as playthings'. If Austen were
writing today, Marianne might have complained: men 'do not see us as
people, but as porn stars'. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><category>Brave NW</category><comments>http://unplugthesignal.com/2010/03/10/teenage-boys-watching-hours-of-internet-pornography-every-week-are-treating-their-girlfriends-like-sex-objects.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">b0f826c4-a569-4bae-8aad-dabc870eca1c</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:48:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Verichip/PositiveID Infomercial Featuring Mr Tinkles</title><link>http://unplugthesignal.com/2010/03/10/verichippositiveid-infomercial-featuring-mr-tinkles.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Red Baron</dc:creator><description>

&lt;p&gt;From Episode Two of the film series “The Century of the Self” by Adam Curtis. &lt;strong&gt;The nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays&lt;/strong&gt;
started his business life as a publicist. While still in his twenties,
he was part of the propaganda effort that drove the United States into
in World War I (WW I.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He personally advised several US presidents starting with Woodrow
Wilson and counseled numerous corporations and business associations.
Hitler’s propaganda chief and Nazi henchman Joseph Goebbels was a
reader and fan of Bernay’s writing in particular Bernay’s book
“Crystalizing Public Opinion.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this short excerpt from Curtis’s film we see one example of Bernays at work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bernays was one of the engineers of the Cold War. He perfected the
technique of manufacturing a distant but ever-threatening enemy and
then creating a constant state of fear by generating false news reports
that endlessly re-stated and exagerated the threat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The stated purpose of Bernay’s methods was to give those in power
greater control over what he called “the mass mind.” It worked well in
the 1950s and sadly, it appears to be working quite well today… but
maybe not forever.&lt;/p&gt;

Tuesday, March 9, 2010&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="416"&gt;

  &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;
    &lt;td width="400"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.prisonplanet.com/images/march2010/090310top2.jpg" alt="tea party" border="1" height="265" width="400"&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

    &lt;td&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;td height="8"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;In response to the brazen effort on
behalf of Republicans and neo-conservatives to hijack the Tea Party, as
well as the establishment’s attempt to promote the Obama front “Coffee
Party” as a fraudulent alternative, we are announcing the creation of
The Real Coffee Party, an organization committed not to partisan
bickering, but to the basic principles outlined in the Constitution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;As we have constantly highlighted, &lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/tea-party-co-founder-concept-has-been-hijacked-by-false-leftright-paradigm.html"&gt;the  Tea Party began as an evolution of the End the Fed protests, which were founded  and run by Ron Paul supporters&lt;/a&gt; in the latter half of 2007.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;The original principles of the Tea Party were to
provide an alternative to both the Republicans and Democrats, by
emphasizing the need to abolish the Federal Reserve, reduce the size of
government, lower taxes, and withdraw from unnecessary and
unconstitutional foreign wars.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/ron-paul-warns-of-neo-con-takeover-of-tea-party-movement.html"&gt;The  Tea Party has since been hijacked and infiltrated &lt;/a&gt;by
the likes of Fox News, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, establishment
Republicans and neo-conservatives as an avenue through which to reclaim
partisan political power. This self-evident transformation has allowed
the establishment liberal media to demonize the Tea Party movement as
nothing more than an attack dog of the right-wing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;In addition, the portrayal on behalf of the media of
the Tea Party movement as an angry mob of extremists and racists has
created a vacuum which has been dutifully filled by the arrival of the
“reasonable,” “moderate” and “civil” Coffee Party movement, &lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/cnn-lavishes-coffee-party-with-favorable-coverage-after-a-year-of-tea-party-demonization.html"&gt;which  in fact represents nothing more than a regurgitation of the top-down Obamanoid  astroturfers&lt;/a&gt;
aided by the recruitment of naive liberals and disenfranchised minority
groups completely deceived as to the fact that they are being conned
once again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;The so-called Coffee Party movement is a contrived  creation of the establishment itself, &lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/coffee-party-founder-is-obama-campaign-operative.html"&gt;headed  up as it is by a former Obama campaign operative&lt;/a&gt;
whose stated goal for the Coffee Party is to “re-engage the grassroots
movement that got Obama elected,” never mind the fact that the
grassroots has been completely abandoned by Obama as he pursues and
intensifies the same policies we saw under Bush – more foreign wars and
illegal occupations, continuing warrantless wiretapping of the American
people, failing to close Guantanamo Bay, failing to prosecute those who
ordered torture, failing to restore civil liberties lost under the
Patriot Act, increasing banker bailouts and ensuring the national debt
soars, while reversing almost every promise he made during the election
campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;The fact that the Coffee Party was&lt;a href="http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php?topic=161402.0"&gt;
originally proposed as a reaction to the infiltration of the Tea Party
by Alex Jones listeners and Ron Paul supporters weeks before&lt;/a&gt; the
emergence of the establishment front Coffee Party led by Obama campaign
operative Annabel Park goes to show once again that our efforts to form
a non-partisan resistance movement against the big government agenda is
under constant assault from a system desperate to uphold the integrity
of the phony left-right paradigm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;By playing off the hijacked Tea Party and the
establishment front Coffee Party against each other, the establishment
hopes to neutralize the issues that the original Tea Party was founded
to promote – ending the Federal Reserve, shrinking the size of
government, and putting a stop to unprovoked and unconstitutional
foreign wars.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;The Real Coffee Party is born out of the bullet proof
idea that the only way America can recover from the quagmire it finds
itself in is to reject the phony left-right paradigm that has wrought
so much damage and prevented people from finding a real alternative to
the constant rotation of Democrats and Republicans whose fundamental
core principles – big government, foreign wars, and shrinking
liberties, are a mirror image of each other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;The following Constitutional Code summarizes the tenets
of the Real Coffee Party platform. Unlike the Obama-affiliated Coffee
Party and the Republican hijacked Tea Party, these principles owe their
allegiance to the Constitution and the vision of the Founding Fathers,
not to partisan power politics and the contrived left-right paradigm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE CONSTITUTIONAL CODE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p align="left"&gt;1)
Defend and secure the borders of the United States of America. Prevent
the illegal creation of “sanctuary cities” and enforce immigration laws.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p align="left"&gt;2) Uphold the second amendment and repeal  unconstitutional gun laws.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p align="left"&gt;3) End the Federal Reserve’s stranglehold over the  American economy.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p align="left"&gt;4) Reject and repeal all international treaties  that supersede the U.S. Constitution and violate national sovereignty.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p align="left"&gt;5) Uphold medical privacy and completely outlaw  forcible injections.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p align="left"&gt;6) End all invasive, unprovoked and  unconstitutional foreign wars.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p align="left"&gt;7) Peacefully take back control of the states from  increasing federal encroachment via the 9th and 10th amendments.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p align="left"&gt;8} End the federalization and militarization of  law enforcement.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p align="left"&gt;9) End unconstitutional land grabs, neo-feudalism  and outlaw carbon taxes fraudulently promoted in the name of climate change.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p align="left"&gt;10) End the unconstitutional use of the Patriot  Act against U.S. citizens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Over the next few days we will be launching a new
website for the Real Coffee Party and invite you to join us by
promoting our beliefs to everyone you know and spreading the word.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Just like the establishment was able to launch the
fraudulent Coffee Party on the back of an aggressive viral Internet
campaign, we shall be attempting to do the same, starting with using
the twitter trends &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=#coffeeparty"&gt;#coffeeparty&lt;/a&gt; – &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=#teaparty"&gt;#teaparty&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=#realcoffeeparty"&gt;#realcoffeeparty&lt;/a&gt; to  educate people about the genuine grassroots resistance to big government and the  new world order.&lt;/p&gt;

                        &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Schools
can install cameras in bathrooms and spy on kids via laptops, but
parents treated as pedophiles for taking innocent photographs of their
own children&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="border: 1px solid black;" src="http://www.prisonplanet.com/images/march2010/100310top.jpg" alt="Perversion Is Fine, So Long As Youre In A Position Of Authority 100310top" title="Perversion Is Fine, So Long As Youre In A Position Of Authority Photo"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Paul Joseph Watson&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/"&gt;Prison Planet.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Wednesday, March 10, 2010&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Yet another story about a school installing
surveillance cameras in bathrooms reminds us that, while parents are
treated as pedophiles for taking photographs of their own children, any
perversion whatsoever is acceptable as long as it is conducted by those
deemed to be in a position of authority.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;“Outraged parents have hit out at a school in  Birmingham after pupils discovered CCTV cameras in the school’s toilets,” &lt;a href="http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20100309/tuk-parents-angry-over-cctv-in-school-to-45dbed5.html"&gt;reports  Sky News&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;“Youngsters at Grace Academy in Chelmsley Wood claim
they returned from half-term to find staff had installed the cameras
without notifying them or their parents.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;The report points to another recent case in Britain,
where a school in Salford filmed children in various stages of undress
changing into their gym kit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Parents slammed the move as a “total invasion of
privacy” and many students refused to use the bathroom, but the school
claimed that installing cameras to watch children in the most intimate
setting possible was perfectly normal because “children want to feel
secure”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;So as long as it’s done in the name of safety and
security, watching children in bathrooms is acceptable. Perhaps child
molesters who are caught with kiddie porn should use the defense that
they are merely watching videos of children to make them “feel secure”.
But we’re forgetting the golden rule – you’re only allowed to engage in
such behavior if you happen to be ascribed some position of authority.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.infowars.com/articles/bb/camera_school_bathroom.htm"&gt;We have  reported on numerous cases of school officials &lt;/a&gt;installing cameras in school  bathrooms which allow perverts to spy on children in various stages of  undress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Compare this with &lt;a href="http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Man-Suspected-Of-Being-A-Paedophile-For-Taking-A-Photo-Of-His-Own-Son-While-Out-Shopping/Article/201002415560029?lpos=UK_News_First_UK_News_Feature_Teaser_Region_0&amp;amp;lid=ARTICLE_15560029_Man_Suspected_Of_Being_A_Paedophile_For_Taking_A_Photo_Of_His_Own_Son_While_Out_Shopping"&gt;the  case of Kevin Geraghty-Shewan&lt;/a&gt;, a man who dared to take photographs of his  own son in public riding a toy train.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.prisonplanet.tv/"&gt;&lt;img style="border: 0px solid black;" src="http://www.prisonplanet.com/images/march2010/090310banner1.gif" alt="Perversion Is Fine, So Long As Youre In A Position Of Authority 090310banner1" title="Perversion Is Fine, So Long As Youre In A Position Of Authority Photo" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Geraghty-Shewan was promptly interrupted by a security
thug who accused him of being a pedophile. The man was then approached
by a police officer and threatened with arrest for having the temerity
to get upset about the situation. Of course, the fact that
Geraghty-Shewan and his son were simultaneously being filmed by a
plethora of shopping mall CCTV cameras is beside the point – big
brother is allowed to watch us but we can’t even record our own
offspring without being lectured about how we’re potential child
molesters by those in petty positions of authority.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;And it’s not just school corridors and bathrooms  where kids are being spied on. Perhaps the most &lt;a href="http://www.infowars.net/articles/february2010/220210Students.htm"&gt;shocking  aspect of the recent case in Philadelphia, &lt;/a&gt;where
a school district issued laptop computers to 1,800 students across two
high schools and then used concealed cameras within the machines to spy
on students and their parents without their knowledge or consent, is
the fact that school officials did not attempt to hide the scandal,
they bragged about it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;In a PBS news clip, the assistant principle in a
seperate case shows a reporter how, much to his own amusement, he spies
on kids via their laptops and even takes pictures of them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;“I always like to mess with them and take a  picture,” chuckles the man as the reporter whitewashes the alarming  spectacle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Watch the clip.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" height="385" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aF8D1ORNXPo&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aF8D1ORNXPo&amp;amp;hl=en_GB&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="480"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;If a pervert had been caught installing software on
laptops that enabled him to watch and record children, there would be
outrage, but again, when someone in a petty position of authority does
it, it’s &lt;em&gt;normal&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;good&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;A similar mindset can be seen with the introduction of naked body scanners, which despite the fact that they &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/jan/04/new-scanners-child-porn-laws"&gt;break child pornography laws&lt;/a&gt;,
are being used on children of all ages to produce crystal clear images
of their genitals which can be seen by airport security staff.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;This cult-like mass mental illness that anything done
by an authority figure is acceptable strikes at the very root of
everything that’s wrong with our society today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;The broader argument is that schools across the western
world are now beginning to resemble prisons as children are surveilled,
policed and even arrested as criminals for &lt;a href="http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local-beat/Queens-Student-Arrested-for-Doodling-83640982.html"&gt;the  most benign adolescent behavior like doodling on a desk&lt;/a&gt;, as happened to  12-year-old Queens student Alexa Gonzalez recently.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;Regular drug raids, strip searches and lockdowns all
inculcate within the child the notion that they are a prisoner of big

&lt;p align="left"&gt;Anyone who can afford to get their children out of the
public school system and place them in a well-run private school or
better yet, home school their kids, would be insane not to do so in the
current climate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;For those who can’t afford to do so, you’re going to
have to spend a lot of time with your children in an attempt to reverse
the psychological conditioning they are being bombarded with on a daily
basis in the prison camps without bars that now pass for schools in
many parts of the western world.&lt;/p&gt;</description><category>Brave NW</category><category>Police State</category><comments>http://unplugthesignal.com/2010/03/10/perversion-is-fine-so-long-as-youre-in-a-position-of-authority.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">668f0c27-a12b-4ef0-9dd5-fdd68a00366c</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:40:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Zombie Tea Party!

March 9, 2010&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For nearly two decades, the Cartoon Network has waged a 24-hour a
day, 7 day a week, 365 day a year war on the minds of our nation’s
youth.&amp;nbsp; So itshould come at no surprise that they would eventually get
around to bashing our Nation’s “Founding Fathers”.&amp;nbsp; Starting today,
during the week that commemorates the 6 month anniversary of the “Tea
Party March on Washington D.C.”, the Cartoon Network will be airing
reruns of an episode of the popular children’s animated series &lt;em&gt;“Johnny Test”&lt;/em&gt; entitled &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Johnny Zombie Tea Party”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (see video below):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-iItlSos-WE&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;amp;color2=0x6b8ab6"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-iItlSos-WE&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="340" width="560"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In it, the show’s 11-year-old protagonist, Johnny Test is given a
500-word history assignment on the town’s “Founding Fathers”.&amp;nbsp; Instead
of reading up on the subject, Johnny steals a “replenish ray” from his
genius twin sisters and takes it to the local cemetery with the intent
of bringing the Founding Fathers back to life.&amp;nbsp; Things go predictably
wrong when the corpses are only reanimated to “half-life”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Founding Fathers are depicted as three blue skinned, drooling
“Zombies” with simple minds and retarded mannerisms.&amp;nbsp; Though they are
supposed to be the Founding Fathers of the show’s fictional town of
“Porkbelly”, they are an obvious smear on our Nation’s “Founding
Fathers” as apparent from their 18th century garb and accompanying
Colonial background music.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead of helping Johnny with his history report, the trio becomes
distracted by their fascination with flushing toilets, television and
vacuum cleaners.&amp;nbsp; They steal the family car and head into town where
they cause mass hysteria.&amp;nbsp; Johnny assures everyone that &lt;em&gt;“The Founding Zombies are just happy to be among the living and enjoy high top shoes and portable media”.&lt;/em&gt;
Porkbelly’s Mayor calls an emergency Town Hall and warns that the
Zombies will bring down property values.&amp;nbsp; The townsfolk scream in
horror at the prospect of being homeless and prompt the Mayor to call
in the military–who flattens the town with missiles.&amp;nbsp; One of the
townspeople screams, &lt;em&gt;“We’re homeless and they’re still alive!”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Johnny’s mother demands that he get rid of the Zombies.&amp;nbsp; The
authority in her voice gives him an idea.&amp;nbsp; He goes back to the cemetery
and reanimates the Mothers of the Founding Fathers who grab each by the
ear and drag them back to the grave after reprimanding them with &lt;em&gt;“You’ve had your time on this Earth, now let them have theirs!”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the common themes of this series, and in this episode in
particular, is the marginal intelligence of males compared to females.&amp;nbsp;
Johnny’s twin sisters are feminist, scientific geniuses while Johnny
himself is portrayed as a manipulative troublemaker who gets his way
through blackmail and theft.&amp;nbsp; This is consistent with the thinking of
Cartoon Network founder Ted Turner, who is quoted as saying &lt;em&gt;“Men
should be barred from public office for 100 years in every part of the
world… The men have had millions of years where we’ve been running
things. We’ve screwed it up hopelessly. Let’s give it to the women.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Founding Fathers in this episode give an endorsement for the
materialistic brain candy used to control contemporary society.&amp;nbsp; They
spend all their time on petty indulgences and show no interest in
whether or not the freedom and liberty they fought so desperately to
pass on to future generations has survived intact.&amp;nbsp; The message is that
things have vastly improved and that the world is much better off
without the boring stodginess of old fools.&amp;nbsp; Though this can easily be
discarded by adults as lame, it makes an indelible impression on young
minds who will equate images of our “Founding Fathers” and the “Tea
Party” movement as something to be feared or at least marginalized.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This type of indoctrination-through-cartoons has a history that can be traced as far back as 1990 when Ted Turner launched &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Captain Planet and the Planeteers”.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
This show was partially responsible for schooling the current crop of
“greenies” and global warming activists who are so brainwashed that
they can’t even shake their indoctrination off long enough to recognize
the flawed science behind their thinking.&amp;nbsp; The series centers around
five ethnically diverse youths from around the globe who are given
magic rings by Gaia, the “Spirit of the Earth.”&amp;nbsp; Each ring has the
power to control an element of nature.&amp;nbsp; The kids use these powers to
combat adult villains responsible for polluting the planet with smog,
nuclear radiation, deforestation and toxic waste.&amp;nbsp; When they can’t
handle the job alone, they summon the aid of &lt;em&gt;“Captain Planet”,&lt;/em&gt;
a rainbow colored demigod with the combined power of all five.&amp;nbsp; The
intent of the series was to promote “earth worship” and to push the
United Nations enviromental agenda.&amp;nbsp; In each episode, Earth was always
in peril and it was abudantly clear that man was the most serious
threat to its continued survival.&amp;nbsp; The series ran for two years just
ahead of the 1993 “Club of Rome” document entitled &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“The First Global Revolution”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;which stated &lt;em&gt;“&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;In
searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that
pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and
the like would fit the bill.”&lt;/em&gt; Turner himself is a staunch
environmentalist who has donated billions to United Nations causes
dealing with the environment and population control.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Certainly in the last ten years, Cartoon Network has been more
blatantly subversive with their programming.&amp;nbsp; In addition to “earth
worship”, many shows promote paganism and the occult.&amp;nbsp; One of the most
disturbing examples of this is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;,&lt;/em&gt;
which centers on a pre-school dominatrix (Mandy) who cruelly subjugates
and berates a young submissive boy (Billy).&amp;nbsp; One day they happen upon
the Grim Reaper, who has come to collect the soul of their sick
Hamster.&amp;nbsp; Mandy refuses to give Grim the hamster and offers to play a
game for its soul.&amp;nbsp; Mandy cheats and, as a result, wins eternal slavery
from the Grim Reaper who is obligated to cater to her slightest whim.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Cartoon Network is also notorious for its assaults on traditional family values.&amp;nbsp; 2002 saw the debut of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;CODENAME: Kids Next Door.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
The popular series centers around five adolescents who run a spy
network called Sector V from a high-tech tree house.&amp;nbsp; Their stated
mission is to battle the tyranny of parents, teachers, senior citizens
and other adults who try to oppress them.&amp;nbsp; Their arch nemesis is
“Father”, a pipe smoking, clean cut adult who epitomizes the strong
Fatherly image of a by-gone era.&amp;nbsp; Other villains represent various
things that children find objectionable such as spanking (Count
Spankulot), going to the dentist (Knightbrace) and taking a bath (Mrs.
Dirt).&amp;nbsp; The show promotes eternal adolescence.&amp;nbsp; Children and adults are
portrayed as two completely different species that have nothing in
common.&amp;nbsp; Adults are looked upon as evil and untrustworthy.&amp;nbsp; This serves
as a primer for children to turn on their parents, spy on them and
report their activities to the authorities.&amp;nbsp; Bertrand Russell would be
proud.&amp;nbsp; In his book, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Impact of Science on Society&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;, &lt;/em&gt;Russell postulated &lt;em&gt;“&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;The
only remaining possibility of unauthorized propaganda is by secret
whispers from one individual to another. But this, in turn, is rendered
appallingly dangerous by improvements in the art of spying. &lt;strong&gt;Children
at school are taught that it is their duty to denounce their parents if
they allow themselves subversive utterances in the bosom of the family&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;
The show is also heavy on themes relating to mind-control and
brainwashing.&amp;nbsp; After a child reaches the age of 13, their memories are
erased as they evolve into teenagers.&amp;nbsp; The entire series is in the tone
of Aldous Huxley’s &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Brave New World”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; where youth is glorified and the concept of family is considered pornographic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The latest season continues this tradition of brainwashing with shows that are just outright violent.&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Destroy, Build, Destroy!”&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;isa
live-action game show that pits two teams of youths in a contest to see
what they can build out of things they destroy.&amp;nbsp; To this end, they are
supplied with real instruments of destruction like bazookas, rocket
launchers, flamethrowers and actual explosives.&amp;nbsp; The winning team gets
a cash prize and is allowed to destroy the losing team’s creation.&amp;nbsp;
Sounds like an American military campaign, does it not?&amp;nbsp; The entire
show glorifies conquest, destruction and the plundering of wealth and
resources.&amp;nbsp; Rocker Andrew W.K hosts the show.&amp;nbsp; Just one look at the
cover of one of his albums should tell you that this is not the kind of
person you want your son to have as a role model.&amp;nbsp; And if that isn’t
enough to convince you, read some of the lyrics to his songs:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;You better get ready to die,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;You better get ready to kill,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;You better get ready to run,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cause here we come,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;You better get ready to die!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Get ready to die!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Get ready to die!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or how about…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;You’re not my mom and dad&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;And even they watch their backs&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cause they know what I hate&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Any rules that I can’t break&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its hard enough raising kids under normal circumstances.&amp;nbsp; But when
you have this level of brainwashing and indoctrination going on behind
your back, you can almost be certain that future generations of our
children be lost to “The State” and the one-world globalist agenda.&amp;nbsp;
Children are being taught, through television, that parents are their
enemy.&amp;nbsp; They are being schooled in anti-American rhetoric and
historical fallacies. They are being urged to tolerate and engage in
all manner of hedonistic fetishes.&amp;nbsp; They are bombarded with images of
pornographic violence and taught to embrace the thrill of wholesale
slaughter.&amp;nbsp; Girls are being trained to be whores.&amp;nbsp; Boys are being
trained to be soldiers.&amp;nbsp; And with the way this country is headed, those
may be the only two jobs left.&lt;/p&gt;

local middle school here in Texas that sparked parent reaction last week.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
The school in the county between south Houston and Galveston, mostly
white blue collar.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
A middle aged black female school board trustee was scheduled to give a
'motivational talk' to 6th-8th grade girls, ages 11-14, who were excused from classes
to go to the assembly hall.&amp;nbsp; The speaker, Shirley Price, told the
school principal to leave the hall, which he did.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
T&lt;strong&gt;hen the woman proceeded with a graphic speech about how to avoid
pregnancy by having oral sex.&amp;nbsp; Two girls presented a 'sketch' (skit)
with an undisclosed demonstration, at the end of which Price kissed one
of the girls on the cheek before the whole assembly. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Before dismissing the students Price told them not to tell their
parents about the speech.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
But many girls did tell their parents.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
"Laura doesn't want to give her full name in order to protect her
daughter. But she says she is outraged at what she says happened at
Crosby Middle School in Hitchcock on January 15. A motivational speech
that was supposed to be about TAKS testing turned into an explicit talk
about sex, using graphic and inappropriate descriptions." &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
A mother named Laura was interviewed on KTRK-TV news,&amp;nbsp; saying her
10-year-old daughter was at that assembly and is emotionally
devastated.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
Other parents said their girls came home scared and crying.&amp;nbsp; (video
news clip &lt;a href="http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/local&amp;amp;id=7237981" target="_blank"&gt;http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/&lt;wbr&gt;story?section=news/local&amp;amp;id=&lt;wbr&gt;7237981&lt;/a&gt;
)&lt;br&gt;
KHOU-TV's report sanitized the episode and interviewed no parents. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
"She is very humiliated, actually using the word sex," Laura explained.
"She will start crying. It's very, very disturbing to her, of the
things that she has heard."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
"The district has been flooded with calls from outraged parents who
were unaware of the presentation until a couple of parents spoke at
Tuesday's school board meeting."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"&gt;&lt;img alt="price1.jpg" src="http://www.henrymakow.com/price1.jpg" class="mt-image-left" style="margin: 0pt 20px 20px 0pt; float: left;" height="150" width="200"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 1.25em;"&gt;(Price, left)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHILDREN WISE TO SEX?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Henry, I suspect that the constant mainstream media propaganda that children are
constantly watching porn from the cradle and are already doing these
things is extremely exaggerated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; That's the main talking point in
every blog comment in favor of Price. It's also the first defense
uttered by pedophiles when they're caught. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
98% of the comments that posted to the TV stations blog were outraged -
a few plants interjected citing teen pregnancy rate in the county and
that the kids are probably doing everything anyway so schools are right
to teach 'safe alternatives' to getting pregnant.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
One 'comment':&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;em&gt;"motherof5 said on January 23, 2010 at 5:08 PM&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Unfortunately, the "speaker" didn't do anything that was criminal. She
didn't personally ask any of the students to perform any sexual act, so
she cant be charged with a crime."&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Another plant or brainwashed comment:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
jumboshrimp said on January 25, 2010 at 12:16 PM&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Chances are the kids already knew what Price was instructing. If you
think otherwise...then you really need to spend more time with your
kids. My girlfriend teaches 9th graders. Some of the stuff they've
said/discussed would probably curl your hair. Heck, it may kill several
of ya'll outright. Kids are NOT stupid, nor are they the little
innocent angels they pretend to be."&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
 
&lt;font style="font-size: 1.25em;"&gt;The media is soft peddling, county government and law enforcement
aren't even mentioned, the school superintendent is 'out of town' for
two weeks and a spokesman answered no questions - "I'm not authorized
to say anything about it, take it up with the superintendent". &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
There have been a series of episodes identical to this since I moved
here. This one amounts to psychological rape since many of the girls
were obviously traumatized.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FOLLOW UP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Galveston county&amp;nbsp; parents &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;are&lt;/span&gt; calling
for Shirley Price's resignation, which is only going after a symptom.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The board's split.&amp;nbsp; Some are defending Price, others are siding with
parents.&amp;nbsp; One board mother said, "She didn't have our permission to
talk about anything, especially
sex," said Esther Orrill, whose 12-year-old daughter was present during
the discussion. "I think part of her innocence was taken that day."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
During the past few incidents of the kind, the 'soldier' (in this case
Price) has been sacrificed through resignation. But this year&amp;nbsp; the City
Commissioner says "We are going to defend her."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Price isn't taking calls and her 'pastor' at Galilee Missionary Baptist
Church - S.D. Siverand -&amp;nbsp; will be doing her speaking for her. Two other
'ministers' have joined up.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
"If she is going to be judged by this board and this community, then I
think the whole school board needs to be wiped out," Siverand said.&lt;br&gt;
That means replacing the Board with activists like Price. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6870468.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.chron.com/disp/&lt;wbr&gt;story.mpl/front/6870468.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Henry, S.D. Silverand isn't pictured and the website for Galilee
Missionary Baptist Church doesn't list any Silverand on their staff.&amp;nbsp;
The church is co-pastored by Rev. Dr. Edwin Allen Davis, Dr. Charlotte
J. Davis, 16 associate pastors, 11 deacons, and 8 trustees. Not one of
them is S.D. Silverand.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.galileembc.org/leadership/default.asp" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.galileembc.org/&lt;wbr&gt;leadership/default.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I think they brought in a 'ringer'. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;LATEST&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style="font-size: 1.25em;"&gt;The superintendent of Crosby school district
announced his retirement subsequently, and his proxy told media "you'll
have to take this up with the superintendent" (the runaround). The
position is effectively in limbo till June 25th when a new
superintendent will take over.&amp;nbsp; So this superintendent is out of it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.crosbyisd.org/09_10cisdnews/CROSBY%20ISD-SUPT.%20SEARCH%20ANNOUNCEMENT.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.crosbyisd.org/09_&lt;wbr&gt;10cisdnews/CROSBY%20ISD-SUPT.%&lt;wbr&gt;20SEARCH%20ANNOUNCEMENT.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I find no more stories on this case after county official announced
they would 'back up' Price, and Shirley Price's supposed 'pastor'
(who's not listed on that church's roster) threatened to get the whole
school board removed. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The media has dropped the story (as usual). As it stood, Price had
'apologized' and the Board had barred her from contact with students.&amp;nbsp;
So without media reports I (and parents) would have to do detective
work at the county offices to learn if any board members have
resigned.&amp;nbsp; The pressure on them is 'off the radar' now.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;
Interestingly, the churches of the parents who voiced that their
daughters were traumatized have been completely silent throughout. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
"The school district had sent a letter to parents shortly after the
incident became known, saying Price's remarks were "off-target and
objectionable."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 1.25em;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Despite calls for her to resign, the board did
not move to remove Shirley Price from office.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.galvnews.com/story.lasso?ewcd=67717e2b446702a5"&gt;The
board's decision&lt;/a&gt; followed a seven-hour school board meeting that ended
about 2 a.m. and &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;concluded that the board did not have
the
power to force Price to resign.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 1.25em;"&gt;Outraged parents pleaded with board
members to
oust Price from the board. Others, including Hitchcock City
Commissioner Henry Coger, voiced support for the embattled trustee. Coger
and Price's pastor, the Rev. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 1.25em;"&gt;S.D. Siverand said &lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 1.25em;"&gt;any move to
force Price
out of office would be met by resistance by her supporters&lt;/font&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 1.25em;"&gt;What kind of Christians are these?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt; </description><category>Brave NW</category><category>Education</category><comments>http://unplugthesignal.com/2010/03/07/psychological-rape-as-sex-education.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">34875d2b-9a53-4010-b292-84d96277e566</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:39:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Government Swine Flu Ad Portrays Vaccine Skeptics As Raving Lunatics</title><link>http://unplugthesignal.com/2010/03/07/government-swine-flu-ad-portrays-vaccine-skeptics-as-raving-lunatics.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Red Baron</dc:creator><description>&lt;span class="createdate"&gt;Friday, 05 March 2010 08:07				&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;p&gt;'A glib 33 second propaganda ad produced by the Kentucky Department
for Public Health portrays skeptics of the swine flu vaccine as raving
lunatics, despite the fact that the head of the Council of Europe’s
investigation into the 2009 outbreak labeled it “one of the greatest
medical scandals of the century.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The commercial, which is entitled ‘H1N1 Vaccine Myths,’ features a
group of office workers spewing ridiculous theories about the swine flu
vaccine that have never been embraced by any vaccine skeptic, in an
attempt to build a classic straw man and smear people who question the
necessity for taking the shot as unstable lunatics.'&lt;/p&gt;
