To help businesses comply with the administration's Wishful Thinking policy of CO2 emissions reduction, the bush administration will issue small copper brass lamps (made in China) to all polluters in the United States, along with instructions to rub the genie lamps and make three wishes before firing up any coal plant, automobile or manufacturing facility. |
| REPPED: (NewsTarget Satire) In a significant nod toward pro-environment politics, the bush administration yesterday announced a major initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging everybody to engage in "Wishful Thinking" to cut emissions without harming the economy. "Wishing for change is far more important than actually cutting greenhouse emissions," Bush said in a prepared statement. "We urge all Americans to take up Wishful Thinking to lower CO2 emissions and, if necessary, to even use up their birthday wishes in this national effort. |

Big Pharma maintains strong ties with the bush administration and helped elect virtually every Republican currently in office. In return, the bush administration has worked to pump up the profits of drug companies at every opportunity: His administration made it illegal for the U.S. |

REPPED: What happens when the bush administration negotiates drug prices with private industry using public money? To answer the question, just consider the situation with U.S. government "negotiations" over the prices of prescription drugs for Medicare: The bush administration not only agreed to pay monopoly prices for medications, it also made it illegal for the government to negotiate any discounts with pharmaceutical companies!
The result? A multi-trillion dollar taxpayer funded subsidy to the richest corporations in the world: Drug companies. |

"While the bush administration talks up its voluntary efforts to address climate change, these backroom cuts show that this is mostly hollow rhetoric," said Steven Nadel, executive director of the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy. "This is a big step backward at a time when the United States needs to show forward motion on energy efficiency and climate change issues. |

But it's not just the bush administration to blame here: no presidential candidate seems to be free from Big Pharma control other than Rep. Ron Paul, who is a strong advocate of genuine health freedom. Even the Democratic candidates are pushing tyrannical agendas. Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards, for example, has now publicly called for health care reform that would force all Americans to visit conventional medical doctors on a regular basis, then submit to chemotherapy drugs if any signs of cancer (breast cancer, prostate cancer, etc.) were detected. |

The bush administration has practically outlawed science and recently announced a new policy requiring that all scientific papers be personally reviewed by President Bush himself. From now on, only those papers receiving gold star happy face stickers will be allowed to be published in scientific journals. Watch for exciting upcoming topics like "Why sewage runs downhill" and "1001 new uses for oil."
What censorship? |

In return, the bush administration has worked to pump up the profits of drug companies at every opportunity: His administration made it illegal for the U.S. government to negotiate volume discounts on Medicare drugs, he's pushed for mandatory "mental health screening" of children that would result in a windfall of profits for psychiatric drugs, he has supported legal immunity for drug companies in cases where patients are killed by drugs like Vioxx, and he has supported the FDA's actions on banning drug imports and protecting monopoly drug pricing in the United States. |

It's call the "close your eyes and pretend it doesn't exist" policy, which is, coincidentally, the exact same policy followed by the bush administration global warming team.
So the next time you hear the FDA warning you about how dangerous and deadly all those Chinese products are, remember what they're NOT telling you: the hazards of American-made food and personal care products, almost all of which are intentionally and knowingly laced with cancer-causing chemicals. |

Not surprisingly, virtually everyone following this issue is outraged at both Nancy Nord and the bush administration for apparently having no concern whatsoever for the safety of U.S. consumers. But why should this surprise us? The FDA openly approves dangerous pharmaceuticals that even the agency's own top scientists admit are killing at least a hundred thousand Americans each year. What's a little ectasy in children's toys when senior citizens on medications are dropping faster than the U.S. dollar?
Corporations first, consumers last
The truth in all this is stupidly obvious: The U.S. |

Bush Administration, the war on Iraq, the Department of Homeland Security or any government agency (including the FDA). The law has already passed the House on a traitorous vote of 405 to 6, and it is now being considered in the Senate where a vote is imminent. All over the internet, intelligent people who care about freedom are speaking out against this extremely dangerous law: Philip Giraldi at the Huffington Post, Declan McCullagh at CNET's News.com, Kathryn Smith at OpEdNews.com, and of course Alex Jones at PrisonPlanet.com
This bill is the beginning of the end of Free Speech in America. |
| If this becomes law, all free speech about health freedom, the crimes of the FDA, the crimes of the bush administration, America's role in global warming and any other topics could all be criminalized. YOU could be labeled a terrorist, kidnapped by government thugs, taken from your home, thrown in a secret prison, denied access to legal representation, denied due process and essentially "disappeared" into a system of such corruption and evil that it now begins to blatantly mirror Nazi Germany.
Think it couldn't happen here? It's happening right now! |

Williams, a former director of the Fish and Wildlife Service in the bush administration, said he was "happy to learn that hunters are taking action on their own," to reduce the use of lead bullets, although he admits that more study is needed.
Some of the best ways to prevent lead poisoning and exposing others to lead contamination include:
If you visit a firing range, wash your hair when you get home to remove lead particles.
Always wash your hands and face before eating.
Wear an air filtration mask while spending any time on the firing range. |

Curiously, the bush administration jumped in and classified key AT&T documents, preventing them from being presented in federal court (so we'll never know what they really said).
For years, the FBI has been operating its ultra-secret Carnivore program that surveils emails, capturing keywords in e-mail communications across the internet. You can read about it on this Wikipedia page. There's also the Total Information Awareness program from DARPA which sought to create a massive domestic surveillance system that would keep tabs on virtually every electronic transaction made by Americans. |
| It is a violation of both domestic and international law, and that's why the bush administration chose to kidnap and imprison these people on non-U.S. land -- it was a way to attempt to avoid adhering to U.S. laws establishing the basic rights of those charged with criminal acts. (Yes, even criminals have basic rights, like the right to legal representation and the right to know what crime they're being charged with.) The behavior of the U.S. |

Under the bush administration, government-employed scientists are routinely told they cannot report results indicating the progression of global warming. The United States is the last among industrialized nations to claim that carbon dioxide emissions produced by human civilization have no impact whatsoever on the world climate. This is an utterly ridiculous position, and yet one that U.S. policymakers insist upon. These policymakers go out of their way to censor scientists whose data and conclusions might run counter to the desired belief. |

It's sort of like listening to the bush administration talk about global warming: They just make up whatever goofy logic sounds good for the moment, and then declare that to be "scientifically sound." It's science by declaration!
More importantly, the only reason these drug companies have to keep fudging the data like this is because their drugs don't work! If the drug was any good, they wouldn't have to cherry pick the data, would they? The fact that this kind of scientific nonsense is taking place tells you just how shabby the data are in the first place. |

Just ask all the scientists who publicly disagree with the Bush Administration's hopelessly politicized view on climate change...
Other critics of Moore are either the greedy, corrupt corporations impacted by his film (drug companies, health insurance providers, hospitals and so on) or juvenile stay-at-home back-seat Internet critics who don't like Moore for the simple fact that he dares to stand up and say "The Emperor Has No Clothes!" Nearly all the criticism leveled against Moore is without substance. |

While the bush administration is out there worrying about biological agents like anthrax and smallpox, people are consuming bacon every morning all across America made with sodium nitrite, a chemical additive that causes colon cancer. And yet the USDA remains silent. The FDA remains silent. The bush administration remains silent. |

It's because the bush administration has made it illegal for beef ranchers to test their own cows for mad cow disease. The USDA actually sued one rancher that tried to conduct safety testing in order to comfort his overseas buyers of U.S. beef. U.S. authorities said, nope, we can't have any more safety testing in this country unless the feds conduct it -- in which case the government can cover up all the positive mad cow detection results and pretend that U.S. beef is perfectly safe for mass consumption.

The purpose of restricting Americans from buying drugs from other countries is to enforce a medical monopoly in the United States, forcing consumers to purchase drugs at the highest prices in the world, further padding the profits of powerful and influential pharmaceutical corporations who exert strong influence over the bush administration and Republican lawmakers.
The FDA has, over the past several years, colluded with drug companies to maintain a monopoly market in the United States in order to protect those profits. |

Those opposing the amendment, which includes most of the major proponents of S1082 and the bush administration, are the ones clearly on the payroll of Big Pharma. Their excuse for not supporting it is flimsy -- that it will cause safety problems. The majority of Senators are not buying this transparent cover-up. Dorgan won Round 1 of the voting on his amendment yesterday (63-28), showing that he has the power to hit Big Pharma where it hurts -- in the pocketbook. A final vote on the Dorgan amendment is expected Monday (keep up support for the Dorgan amendment). |
| President Bush, not surprisingly, threatened to veto the bill if it allowed consumers, cities and states to purchase prescription drugs on the free market. (The bush administration has consistently acted to protect Big Pharma profits, even at the expense of bankrupting Americans.) And many Big-Pharma-controlled Senators are against this amendment, claiming "safety concerns" over imported drugs. The truth, however, is that prescription drugs are dangerous no matter what country they come from! At the same time, we wish to break Big Pharma's monopoly over the U.S. |

The primary motive for the bill is to give the FDA more power to stop a future Vioxx disaster from being repeated.
The bush administration is against the bill and offered sharp objections to the bill's provisions, saying it would slow down drug approvals. Republicans also argued that the banning of drug advertisements on television was "unconstitutional."
The bill aims to accomplish several things:
1) Allow the FDA to fine drug companies that fail to conduct post-approval safety studies.
2) Allow the FDA to ban advertising of new drugs for two years after their initial approval. |

Another interesting point in all this is that a Korean diplomat contacted the bush administration to offer his condolences. Does this seem a bit strange to anyone else? The student was an American citizen, and he had lived in America for many years. In fact, he got put on antidepressant drugs in America, following the same fraudulent system of medicine that is uniquely American in the degree of harm it causes people. If anybody should be picking up the phone and apologizing, it's the U.S. diplomats who should be apologizing to the world for exporting death, disease and western medicine. |

Conventional medical researchers declaring that vitamins are worthless is about as credible as bush administration climatologists claiming there's no such thing as global warming.
With the publication of this research, the distortion of health reality is now complete. According to the Americal Medical Association, vitamins will kill you but pharmaceuticals will make you healthy.

The War on Terror was invented, packaged and marketed by the bush administration as a way to control American citizens, and the fact that it can turn an entire city into a mob of delusional, paranoid idiots is downright impressive. I knew the sheeple were easy for the White House to manipulate, but I never imagined they could be programmed to look at simple electronics and see weapons of mass destruction.
Then again, they can also look at an idiot standing behind a podium and think they see a world leader. So who knows what's really possible here. The sky's the limit. |
| Thanks to over five years of fear mongering by the bush administration and Fox News, Americans believe they live in a country under siege by terrorists who use size "D" batteries to plant advertising displays of mass destruction in large U.S. cities. The same devices were also planted in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Seattle and even Atlanta, but for some reason, only the people in Boston were stupid enough to mistake them for bombs. |

The founder of this foundation, Nancy Brinker, even served on the board of directors of a company called Caremark Rx -- a firm that was selected by the bush administration to help run (and profit from) the Medicare discount drug program. The ties to the bush administration run deep, where Brinker has donated $256,000 to Bush and other Republicans. Her foundation also owns stock in several pharmaceutical companies. |
