Michigan Authorities Attack Woman for Babysitting Neighbor Kids

September 28, 2009

Canadian Free Press - Once again, welcome to fascism Friday. We’ve given one story about Canadian fascism, and one from Michigan. Finally, here we have the third one also from the Badger State. And there are your three stories for fascism Friday.

You read that headline right. A woman who was watching her neighbor’s kids each school morning for 40 minutes before the bus came is being accused of being a criminal by the State of Michigan.

It takes a village, right? Remember when you were a kid and the next door neighbor looked after you for an hour or so until your parents got back from shopping or work? Remember when your neighbor might even pick you up from school at one time or another? Remember that your parents returned the favor whenever it was necessary? Remember when neighbors felt a responsibility to each other? Well thank God we don’t have to rely on friends and neighbors any more. After all, we have the glorious state to take care of us now. We have our fathers and mothers in government to watch out for us. Who needs neighbors?

This is what has happened in the people’s state of Michigan where a kindly maternal woman is being ground under the iron boot heel of authorities from the State of Michigan because she dared to watch her neighbor’s children for about 40 minutes before school each weekday in violation of the state’s child daycare center registration laws.

Shockingly this poor woman is being threatened by the goosesteppers of the child welfare department of the Badger State — an apt name in this case — because she did not get a childcare license for watching her neighbor’s kids for the 40 minutes before the the bus arrives each morning.

Folks we have at last come to a decision point.

We have allowed our various governments from the smallest village all the way to the halls of the federal government to become an anti-family, anti-American despotism and here is just another disgusting example of that devolution from American republic to fascist state.

When we are prohibited by state law to even offer a little help to our friends and neighbors or face prosecution by the all powerful state, we have arrived at a time when our government is no longer on our side. Our governments, all of them, are fast becoming enemies to the common good, enemies to the rights and liberties of the people they are supposed to govern. Government is now only interested in its own power and its own needs.

When you can’t even help a neighbor for fear of the fascist state coming down on you like a ton of bricks we have arrived at a turning point for sure. It is time to take power away from government at every level. When any politician is running for office and telling us what he will “do” for us, tell him you only want one thing from him. Tell him you want him to LEAVE US ALONE.

Anti-Cancer Gardasil Drug Causes Illness in Thousands

August 20, 2009

Daily Telegraph - Anti-cancer drug Gardasil, which has been given to millions of Australians, has caused fainting, nausea, dizziness and blood clots among thousands of US women, a major study has found.

A safety review published in the latest Journal of the American Medical Association said 12,424 Gardasil vaccine recipients in America had suffered a number of side effects and even death since June 2006. Of those recorded cases, the study found 772 were considered serious and 1900 involved fainting. But Australian doctors have warned women not to panic, with the number of reactions still low compared with the millions who receive the vaccine each year.

Invented by Australian scientist Professor Ian Frazer, Gardasil protects against two strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) that cause 70 per cent of recorded cervical cancer cases.

Since the vaccination program for females aged between 12 and 26 was rolled out two years ago, more than five million doses have been distributed in Australia. Women are given three shots but some have reported side effects including nausea, temporary blindness and paralysis.

In Australia, there have been 1304 adverse reactions reported.
Family Planning NSW director of research Dr Edith Weisberg said every vaccine came with side effects.

“It’s a very safe vaccine and very important because it’s one of only two that has any effect on cancer,” she said. “It’s no different from any other vaccine. It’s very important for young women to get this before they are exposed to HPV.”

The study found that 32 women who received Gardasil had died but could not find a specific link between the women’s deaths and the drug.

Doctors are now being urged to keep recipients in their office for observation for about 15 minutes after receiving the vaccine. But some suspected side effects have occurred after three months of receiving Gardasil.

“It is one of the most complained (about) vaccines that we receive,” Vaccination Information Service’s Bronwyn Hancock said. “Doctors don’t like to admit there are side effects. This is what happens when you put poison into your body.”

The most common side effects reported to Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration have been headaches and skin sensitivity from the injection.

Fortunately for Sue Kemp, her daughter Stephanie never suffered a reaction. “I started Stephanie on it before the Government rolled it out in schools,” she said.

“Any protection against cancer has to help.”
