TV News LIES

I don’t care that the retail Christmas season starts earlier and earlier every year. I’m almost continually freaked out that Halloween hasn’t stopped since December 12th 2000. It’s like we’re all living in a demented version of the film, Groundhog day. The alarm goes off, we get up, and something horrible happens. All day long we wish we could change something but the next morning … the alarm goes off, we get up, and something horrible happens.

It’s Kafka’s world … we just live in it. With a little bit of H.P. Lovecraft thrown in to ramp up the creep factor.

As we approach the tragic one-year anniversary of Fukushima’s multiple nuclear reactors’ accident on March 11, that initially affected the entire Japanese population, we now know that this nightmare has engulfed all of us. Let us also not forget that this is the third nuclear attack on the Japanese (the first two were Hiroshima and Nagasaki). Given what has not been done to ensure public safety, we cannot think of it any other way. From the very first day, there were lies and a massive cover-up of the extent of the destruction and the inherent radioactive dangers –not just from Japanese officials and TEPCO corporate reports, but also from the US. The Mark 1 reactors, built by General Electric, have design flaws. There are many of these same-designed reactors in the US.

Wind farms in the Pacific Northwest -- built with government subsidies and maintained with tax credits for every megawatt produced -- are now getting paid to shut down as the federal agency charged with managing the region's electricity grid says there's an oversupply of renewable power at certain times of the year.

"It's the one system in the world where in real time, moment to moment, you have to produce as much energy as is being consumed," BPA spokesman Doug Johnson said of the renewable energy.

Questions about women and womens’ health have dominated the political debate over the past weeks, and at least one female Republican lawmaker is unhappy with her party’s record. New York Assemblyman Teresa Sayward (R), who is retiring after serving a decade in Albany, told the New York political program Capital Tonight that she does not support any of her party’s presidential candidates, because of their stances on women.

She also took an apparent shot at Republicans’ opposition to President Obama’s birth control mandate, saying, “It’s disheartening for me to see our party move away from what it was always about and that is to stay out of people’s lives, let them live their lives, don’t impose their religion on anybody else.”

Asked which Republican candidate she supports, Sayward replied:

The Arizona Senate on Tuesday approved a bill that would allow doctors withhold information about prenatal problems if it could make the decision to have an abortion more likely.

Republican state Sen. Nancy Barto introduced the measure to protect doctors from so-called “wrongful birth” lawsuits. Such lawsuits are sometimes filed by parents of children with disabilities who believe that doctors withheld information that could have led to the decision to have an abortion.

According to a report released by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the number of U.S. hate groups has grown -- fed by antagonism toward President Obama, the economy and the changing racial demographics of the country.

The SPLC recorded 1,018 hate groups last year. Anti-gay groups have increased from 17 to 27 since 2010, and the number of groups whose ideology is organized against specific racial, religious, sexual or other characteristics has risen as well.

I actually believed in the system before becoming what I believe is awake and aware.  I actually believed Obama and all of his lies he spewed in 2008.  I was sucked into the lies and promises, which is what they counted on.

I immediately knew they were all lies somehow on the day of his inauguration.  I don't know how, but as I watched him take the Oath of office, I knew the man would not be what he claimed to be and he would not follow through on any of his promises.

This Australian media coverage, coming in at under two minutes, provides the most powerful overview yet for the new study, “Gas Drilling Impacts on Human and Animal Health,” just published in January by Bamberger and Oswald. All credit to Doctors for the Environment in Australia.

Bamberger and Oswald spent a year meticulously documenting animal and human illnesses, reproductive failures and animal deaths due to fracking (including more than 108 cows which died after drinking water contaminated by fracking) in 6 gas drilling states. They call for a halt on shale gas drilling until more data can be collected.
