Facebook Suspended ‘Natural News’ Account For Posting Ghandi Quote On Guns

Facebook bans Gandhi quote as part of revisionist history purge (Natural News, Dec 27, 2012):

The reports are absolutely true. Facebook suspended the Natural News account earlier today after we posted an historical quote from Mohandas Gandhi. The quote reads:

“Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.” – Mohandas Gandhi, an Autobiography, page 446.

This historical quote was apparently too much for Facebook’s censors to bear. They suspended our account and gave us a “final warning” that one more violation of their so-called “community guidelines” would result in our account being permanently deactivated.

They then demanded we send them a color copy of a “government issued identification” in order to reactivate our account. Our account was removed from suspension just minutes before InfoWars posted its article on this Facebook censorship, and the Facebook page is now functioning at:

Facebook Censors Prominent Political Critics

Facebook Censors Prominent Political Critics (ZeroHedge, Dec 27, 2012):

We’ve previously documented that the largest social media websites censor government criticism.

For example, Facebook pays low-wage foreign workers to delete certain content based upon a censorship list. For example, Facebook deletes accounts created by any Palestinian resistance groups.

Today, Facebook deactivated the Facebook accounts of some of the leading American political critics.

The Real Crisis: ‘People Have Lost Trust In The Government And The Market’

The Real Crisis: “People Have Lost Trust In The Government And The Market” (ZeroHedge, Dec 27, 2012):

The death of the ‘cult of equities’ was a popular topic this year among both fringe blogs and the best-known institutional asset managers and sell-side strategists. As AP discusses in this excellent article, ordinary Americans – defying decades of investment history – are selling stocks for a fifth year in a row. It’s the first time ordinary folks have sold during a sustained bull market since relevant records were first kept during World War II. The answer is both complex and simple but summed up best by a former stock analyst’s comment that in order to buy stocks “You have to trust your government. You have to trust other governments. You have to trust Wall Street, and I don’t trust any of these.” With Fed policy trying to force investors back into stocks (at any cost), a former fund manager notes, presciently that, “When this policy fails, as it will, baby boomers will pay the cost in their 401(k)s.” Are we the new ‘Depression Babies’? We suspect so.

Investors, as you well know, are leaving the equity markets in droves…

– ‘The game is rigged:’ Matt Damon says he’s done with ‘fixed’ Washington politics (Daily Mail, Dec 27, 2012):

Matt Damon says he’s giving up on politics.

The actor told Playboy magazine that he feels ‘the fix is in, the game is rigged and no matter how hard you work to change things, it just doesn’t matter.’

Damon bemoaned the state of Washington as he completes a media circuit for the release of his new movie, ‘Promised Land’ which – coincidentally – deals with the high politicized issue of fracking, or drilling for natural gas.

Damon said he lost hope that the movie might have some impact in Washington.

Germany ‘Exporting’ Pensioners To Care Homes In Eastern Europe And Asia

Germany ‘exporting’ old and sick to foreign care homes (Guardian, Dec 26, 2012):

Pensioners are being sent to care homes in eastern Europe and Asia in an austerity move dismissed as ‘inhumane deportation’

Growing numbers of elderly and sick Germans are being sent overseas for long-term care in retirement and rehabilitation centres because of rising costs and falling standards in Germany.

The move, which has seen thousands of retired Germans rehoused in homes in eastern Europe and Asia, has been severely criticised by social welfare organisations who have called it “inhumane deportation”.

FDA Approves Neurotoxic Flu Drug For Infants

FDA Approves Neurotoxic Flu Drug For Infants Less Than One (GreenMedInfo, Dec 27, 2012):

Whereas the flu is self-limiting, the FDA’s capacity for bad decisions is not…

The recent decision by the FDA to approve the use of the antiviral drug Tamiflu for treating influenza in infants as young as two weeks old, belies an underlying trajectory within our regulatory agencies towards sheer insanity.

Tamiflu, known generically as oseltamivir, has already drawn international concern over its link with suicide deaths in children given the drug after its approval in 1999. In fact, in 2004, the Japanese pharmaceutical company Chugai added “abnormal behavior” as a possible side effect inside Tamiflu’s package.  The FDA also acknowledged in its April, 2012 “Pediatric Postmarket Adverse Event Review” of Tamiflu that “abnormal behavior, delirium, including symptoms such as hallucinations, agitation, anxiety, altered level of consciousness, confusion, nightmares, delusions” are possible side effects.[i]

Recent animal research on Tamiflu has found that the infant brain absorbs the drug more readily than the adult brain,[ii] [iii]lending a possible explanation for why neuropsychiatric side effects have been observed disproportionately in younger patients.

Every Child Visiting A&E To Be Logged In National Database From 2015

Every child visiting A&E to be logged in national database from 2015 (Guardian, Dec 27, 2012):

Every child who visits hospital accident and emergency departments or has out-of-hours GP consultations will be logged in a national database from 2015.

The child protection information system is designed to help doctors and nurses spot children who are suffering from abuse or neglect and avoid cases such as that of Baby Peter, said health services minister Dan Poulter.

Medical staff will be able to see if the children they treat are subject to a child protection plan, meaning they have already been identified as being at risk.

  • First Piers Morgan became the subject of a petition calling for him to be deported from the US for upsetting the gun lobby there.

    Now a counter-petition has been started, asking for America to keep him – not because he’s popular there but (allegedly) because no one here wants him back.

    TOTALLY INSANE Japan Under LDP: Shintaro Ishihara’s Son To Become Minister Of The Environment And Minister For Nuclear Plants

    #Radioactive Japan Under LDP: Shintaro Ishihara’s Son to Become Minister of the Environment and Minister for Nuclear Plants (EX-SKF, Dec 25, 2012):

    What an in-your-face insult to citizens of Japan, particularly for people in Kanto and Tohoku contaminated by radioactive materials from the nuclear accident, and even more so for the workers at Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant.

    Nobuteru Ishihara is the eldest son of the irascible ex-Governor of Tokyo Shintaro Ishihara, for now teaming up with the boy-wonder of Osaka City.?(He didn’t inherit his uncle (Yujiro Ishihara)’s good looks or charisma, unfortunately.)

    In the early days of the nuclear crisis last year, Mr. Nobuteru Ishihara was the one who said that citizens should be banned from measuring radioactivity using their personal survey meter. His ostensible reason was that the survey meters may not be “accurate”. It turned out the government’s monitoring stations have been inaccurate.

    In June last year, he was the one who called the anti-nuclear movement as “mass hysteria“.

    Government Dependents Outnumber Those With Private Sector Jobs In 11 U.S. States

    Government Dependents Outnumber Those With Private Sector Jobs In 11 U.S. States (Economic Collapse, Dec 26, 2012):

    America is rapidly becoming a nation of takers.  An increasing number of Americans expect the government to take care of them from the cradle to the grave, and they expect the government to dig into the pockets of others in order to pay for it all.  This philosophy can be very seductive, but what happens when the number of takers eventually outnumbers the number of producers?  In 11 different U.S. states, the number of government dependents exceeds the number of private sector workers.  This list of states includes some of the biggest states in the country: California, New York, Illinois, Ohio, Maine, Kentucky, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, New Mexico and Hawaii.  It is interesting to note that seven of those states were won by Barack Obama on election night.  In California, there are 139 “takers” for every 100 private sector workers.  That is crazy!  The American people have become absolutely addicted to government money, and it gets worse with each passing year.  If you can believe it, entitlements accounted for 62 percent of all federal spending in fiscal year 2012.  It would be one thing if we could afford all of this spending, but unfortunately we simply cannot.  We are drowning in debt, and we are stealing more than a hundred million more dollars from future generations with each passing hour.  No bank robber in history can match that kind of theft.

    Canada: Defense Department Covers Up Report On The Killing Of Four U.N. Observers By Israeli Forces

    Wife says soldier’s death a coverup (The Windsor Star, Dec 26, 2012):

    The Defence Department has quietly removed from the Internet a report on the killing of a Canadian military officer by Israeli forces, a move the soldier’s widow says is linked to the Conservative government’s reluctance to criticize Israel for any wrongdoing.

    Maj. Paeta Hess-von Kruedener and three other United Nations observers were killed in 2006 when the Israeli military targeted their small outpost with repeated artillery barrages as well as an attack by a fighter aircraft.

    In early 2008, the Defence Department posted on its website a 67-page report from the Canadian Forces board of inquiry into the killing. The board found Hess-von Kruedener’s death was preventable and caused by the Israeli military.

    But less than a year later, the report was quietly removed from the DND website and has since remained off-limits to the public through official channels.

    MI6 Codebreaker Gareth Williams ‘Probably Locked Himself Into Sports Bag’

    Oh, sure!


    MI6 codebreaker Gareth Williams probably locked himself into the sports bag where his naked body was found and was not the victim of a hit by the security services, Scotland Yard has found after conducting a review of the case.


    Police have always said they were keeping an open mind on whether Gareth Williams was murdered or died as a result of an accident, possibly during a bizarre sex game

    MI6 codebreaker Gareth Williams ‘probably locked himself into sports bag’ (Telegraph, Dec 26, 2012):

    Dr Fiona Wilcox, the Westminster Coroner, said earlier this year that she could not rule out the involvement of the security services in the death.

    The ruling sparked a review of the case by Scotland Yard’s murder squad which has re-interviewed his colleagues from MI6 and taken DNA samples over the last seven months.

    Detectives had believed that someone else must have locked the codebreaker in the bag and launched a search for a mysterious Mediterranean couple, who were later ruled out of inquiries. The Daily Telegraph understands detectives now believe that he probably died alone.

    “They have been unable to find any trace of anyone who should not have been in the flat and every reason to believe that Gareth may have climbed into the bag himself and been unable to get out,” a source close to the inquiry said.

    Rick Santelli: ‘The Fed Doesn’t Have A Cluee, Neither Does The President, Neither Does Congress’ (CNBC Video)

    Santelli Channels Cramer: “The Fed Doesn’t Have A Clue” (ZeroHedge, Dec 27, 2012):

    Comparisons of the failure of the TARP vote and the fiscal cliff were summarily dismissed early in this clip – though CNBC’s Rick Santelli does note, as we have vociferously stated that a market correction is the only impetus to get something done in Washington. Having abandoned his channel’s “Rise Above” meme in the face of this “childish nonsense”, Santelli agrees that politicians “can show incompetence at very critical moments.” Then, sparked by the anchor’s comment that “the markets would know if [the cliff] was going be a horrific thing”, Santelli goes ‘off-script’ with an epic take-down of all things CNBC: “the stock market is an immediate gratification for investors to make money;” and asks the key question “Why do we look to the Dow Jones Industrial Average to handicap if this country is going to go down the sewer in a couple of years? It doesn’t give us a glimpse into the future.” He adds that the market is not discounting $100 trillion of unfunded liabilities in our future and then slams the door shut with what will likely become the new meme: “The Fed doesn’t have a clue, neither does the President, neither does Congress.”

    We’ve documented the spread of radiation from Fukushima to Tokyo for a year and a half.  See this, this, this, this, this and this. Unfortunately, as the following recent headlines from Ene News show, things are only getting worse:

    Eight Crew Members Of The USS Ronald Reagan Sue Tepco For Lying About Fukushima

    American Sailors Sue Tepco for Lying about Fukushima (Washington’sBlog, Dec 27, 2012):

    On the USS Ronald Reagan for Rescue Work

    Preface:  Before you get too mad at the Japanese, remember that the U.S. government and nuclear industry are just as bad.  And America is largely dictating Japanese nuclear policy.

    Courthouse News Service reports:

    Eight crew members of the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan, whose home port is San Diego, sued the Tokyo Electric Power Co. in Federal Court.

    They claim the utility company, “a wholly owned public benefit subsidiary of the government of Japan,” misrepresented radiation levels to lull the U.S. Navy “into a false sense of security.”

    Lead plaintiff Lindsay R. Cooper claims Tokyo Electric (TEPCO) intentionally concealed the dangerous levels of radiation in the environment from U.S. Navy rescue crews working off the coast of Japan after the March 10, 2011 earthquake and tsunami set off the nuclear disaster.

    Geithner: US To Hit Debt Ceiling On December 31

    Geithner – US To Hit Debt Ceiling On December 31 (ZeroHedge, Dec 27, 2012):

    Just because the Fiscal Cliff was not enough…

    • GEITHNER SAYS U.S. WILL REACH STATUTORY DEBT LIMIT ON DEC. 31
    • GEITHNER: WILL USE `EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES’ TO AVOID DEBT LIMIT
    • TREASURY: SPECIAL MEASURES TO MAKE $200 BLN  ROOM UNDER LIMIT
    • GEITHNER: $200 BLN TO LAST TWO MONTHS IN `NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES’
    • GEITHNER: TAX, SPENDING `UNCERTAINTY’ MAKES DURATION NOT CLEAR
    • GEITHNER SAYS ALL MEASURES HAVE BEEN USED IN PRIOR IMPASSES
    • GEITHNER OUTLINES PLANS IN LETTER TO SENATE MAJORITY LEADER

    So since America’s dysfunctional congress failed to “rise above” the Fiscal Cliff, it at least succeeded to “rise above” the debt ceiling. One out of two is not too bad…

    To summarize: debt ceiling hit December 31, just in time for the no deal on the Fiscal Cliff, and then the Treasury will proceed to defund various Government retirement accounts for the next two and a half months, when sometime in March the true deadline to getting a joint solution on both the Cliff and the Debt Ceiling will becoming unextendable as the alternative is truly unthinkable: living within its means!
