Underperforming The Great Depression
In real (inflation/deflation-adjusted) terms, when did the US market
permanently regain the high reached in 1929? The first chart illustrates

the real total return.

GlaxoSmithKline
pushing dangerous Avandia drug on thousands in new global clinical trial
Back in February, I wrote an article about how a Senate Finance Committee
report revealed that GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of the diabetes drug
Avandia, knew that its drug was dangerous and caused heart attacks;
yet GSK went out of its way to hide this important information from
the public and kept on selling Avandia. Now, GSK has now decided to
launch a global clinical trial of this dangerous drug that could potentially
harm thousands of people.
Ehrlich:
“Small Net Increase in Deaths Reasonable Price to Pay” In a 1995 article written by Gretchen Daily
and Ecoscience co-author Paul R. Ehrlich, the authors put forward
the proposition that physicians should no longer concentrate on
improving the health of their individual patients, or treat occurring
infections in order to save the patients life, but rather look to
the well-being of society as a whole. In doing so, say Daily and
Ehrlich, “a small net increase in deaths” is “a
reasonable price to pay”.
I-Dosing:
Another Excuse for Government Control Over Our Lives I don’t know about you, but I am not
about to run out and experiment with the latest fad, known as “i-dosing,”
a gimmick that supposedly uses binaural tones to create euphoria.
“Simply put, i-dosing is the attempt to achieve a perceived
drug ‘high’ from listening specially-engineered sounds
and music,” reports Psychology Today. “Is it a real
drug? Probably not.”

We
Got One That Can See: Former Obamanoid Reveals Truth on Fox News It was a remarkable moment in the annals
of corporate media television. During a Fox News segment on the
staggering unemployment rate among the young, a former Obamanoid

Turkish
cops to patrol German streets battling ethnic crime?
Turkish police may soon be patrolling Germany’s streets. The
aim is to get a grip on crime amongst the country’s largest
ethnic minority. Turkish immigrants are often seen as having failed
to integrate into German society, and high unemployment is leading
to serious problems. But critics of the new policing plan say it’s
just another example of discrimination.
Ecoscience
and Repression in America It is not an exaggeration
to say that most politicians, and all the paid flunkies, dog paddle

and downright lies, and as it turns out Barack Hussein Obama–even
though he walks lightly and looks so fresh and bright–is one
and the same.
