Brussels attacks: the next step: bye bye Europa

by Jon Rappoport

Hours after Donald Trump suggested the US should downsizeits role in NATO, bombs went off in Brussels.

In the wake of the attacks, the Globalist party line is shaping up: Downsize? Absolutely not. NATO must respond. Led by the US, it must, wait for it, invade Syria, an ISIS stronghold. With ground troops.

Don’t even bother trying to figure out the logic behind that idea. It goes something like this: get rid of President Assad (who is in a war against ISIS) because somehow the Brussels attack is all his fault.

Led by the US, NATO should attack ISIS in Syria—ISIS, the group funded and backed and armed by the US government (see here and here). Perfect.

Gibberish.

I can just hear a US general trying to decipher his marching orders: “Let’s see, we have to go into Syria and get rid of President Assad, and he’s the one fighting against ISIS. Hmm. And we also have to decimate ISIS. In other words, we should more or less level the whole country, wipe out everybody, and turn the place into a wasteland worse than the wasteland it already is. Right? And while we’re doing that, we have to ignore the fact that our government shipped weapons to ISIS from Libya (see here). How about this instead? Locate the key people who are urging this insane military campaign and put them in prison where they can’t do more harm. Or let’s launch an operation against the moon. That would be good, too.”

French President Hollande is also right up there on the insanity index. His latest statement, after the Brussels attacks, assures one and all that this is a war against Europe, not merely Belgium. But he is the one who has been asserting that Europe has no right to question the flood of immigrants streaming across the continent. Border controls? No, no. What possible relationship could any of these immigrants have to terror attacks? They were trained outside Europe on how to mount bombing operations against civilian populations, after which they came into Europe with that intention? Sure, but so what?

Housed within Brussels, of course, is the headquarters of the European Union, which is Globalism Inc. for Europe. Its covert aim is to drown all nations of the continent in immigrants, so that within a few decades there will be no more recognizable countries—at which point a simple declaration that all of Europe is one indivisible entity will carry the day. This intention must never be spoken of. It must be hidden. Instead, the population of Europe must enlist in a universal, what shall we call it, Tolerance Corps, grinning from ear to ear wherever they go, urging acceptance of the new status quo, now and then grieving as new terror attacks blow people up. Who could doubt the efficacy and wisdom of this plan?

Do not offend the people who are blowing you up. Do not realize who is covertly backing the people who are blowing you up. Instead, rely on these backers to stop the people who are blowing you up.

Keep smiling. Don’t worry, be happy. All is well. Your tolerance and compassion and good cheer will earn you a gold star on the heavenly blackboard. Keep opening your door to all who enter. Extend them a helping hand, just as your government does. Your visitors will make your land a better place. Let us all sing a hymn of joy.

The realities of the situation don’t matter. The only thing that matters is your basic desire for kindness. You must give lip service to that. You must sing the hymn, because it marks you as a good person. Stop thinking. Mark yourself as a good person.

The US/Globalist wars of decimation in the Middle East and Northern Africa? The blowback from the wars? Not important. Not relevant. Well, they are relevant in one respect. You personally are guilty for those wars. Therefore, you must now surrender to whatever happens. You must give up everything as a sign of your humility and guilt. You have no right to defend yourselves. Nor do you have the right to insist that your governments defend you. Of course not.

Everything is all right. Everybody is all right. We are everybody.

One great cheese glob of the coming utopia.

Somewhere in the bowels of the EU headquarters, a high-ranking official is standing in front of a mirror, applying tan base to his parched pale face, combing his sparse hair, rehearsing his upcoming statement to the press:
“Let’s see. Reality versus appearance. The reality is, this is perfect for us. An attack within a mile of our building. We couldn’t have anything to do with it. We’re victims. We’ve been making sure the governments of Europe keep their borders open, to let in terrorists, and so on. Now, when I appear before reporters…the appearance. I need to affect an expression of outrage mixed with sadness. Dignified. Do dignified. ‘The terrible events of today, the assault on Europe, on the stability of society. We will not rest until we bring the criminals to justice. At the same time, we must not fall into the trap of believing that all people coming to our lands are’…no, scratch that last part. Too early for that. The bodies are still lying on the ground. Stay with the outrage and the sadness. And assurances that we will work harder to gain control over the situation. We all stand united. Together. Our thoughts are with the grieving families…”

He walks out into a large hall, exits the building, and stands before a throng of reporters. He nods, steps to a podium. He looks out into the distance, as if summoning up a greater understanding.

But he already understands. He understands very well.

Only a complete fool wouldn’t.

7 strange questions about Brussels terrorist attacks not covered by media

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR:

Dear readers: I am publishing the following article on the recent Brussels terror attack, which highlights very important questions that will probably make you think a little bit, since the mainstream media has been quite about it. It’s very important that we, as the people who mostly get affected by this type of events, be able to see other points of views to help us shape in our understanding of this type of world events. The article’s author is Michael Snider of the Economic Collapse. THIS IS PART 1 OF TWO.

7 strange questions about the Brussels terror attacks that the mainstream media is not asking

by Michael Snider
Economic Collapse

The horrific terror attacks in Brussels, Belgium on March 22, 2016 are going to reverberate in our memories for years to come, and perhaps that was the intention.

Terror attacks are designed to create fear and to get attention, and these attacks have definitely done both. On Tuesday morning, two huge explosions ripped through Zaventem Airport in Brussels as travelers were getting ready to board their morning flights. You can view some raw footage of one of the bomb blasts right here. Just a short while later, another huge explosion was reported at a metro station just yards away from the European Commission headquarters. At this point, CNN says that at least 30 people have died and about 230 people are wounded as a result of these bombings. But what was the real motive for these attacks? The following are 7 strange questions about the Brussels terror attacks that the mainstream media is not asking…

#1 Why would Brussels be such a prime target for terror attacks?

Most Americans don’t understand how important the city of Brussels is. For one thing, it is the headquarters of the NATO alliance, and defense ministers from 49 different nations met there last month to discuss a potential ground invasion of Syria.

Secondly, it is also the unofficial capital of the European Union. The following comes from Wikipedia…
“The European Union has no official capital, and no plans to declare one, but Brussels hosts the official seats of the European Commission, Council of the European Union, and European Council, as well as a seat (officially the second seat but de facto the most important one) of the European Parliament.”

Over the years Brussels has become a key symbol for European integration, so if you wanted to conduct an attack that the entire European Union would feel, Brussels would be a good choice. And many European leaders are already coming out and declaring that the attack on Brussels was an attack on Europe as a whole…

French President Francois Hollande said Tuesday’s attacks in Brussels that killed at least 26 people struck at “the whole of Europe”.

“Through the attacks in Brussels, the whole of Europe has been hit,” Hollande said in a statement, urging the continent to take “vital steps in the face of the seriousness of the threat”.

French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said: “We are at war. Over the past few months in Europe, we have endured several acts of war.”

#2 Was Donald Trump right about Brussels?

During an interview with Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo earlier this year, Donald Trump specifically pointed to Brussels as an example of what he wanted to avoid in this country…

The Republican presidential front-runner said Brussels, the capital of Belgium, had been particularly transformed. Belgium has been home to a number of recent terror plots, and was linked to the November attack on Paris, France, that left 130 people dead.

“You go to Brussels — I was in Brussels a long time ago, 20 years ago, so beautiful, everything is so beautiful — it’s like living in a hellhole right now,” Trump continued. “You go to these different places. There is something going on.”
#3 Why are there some Islamic ghettos in Brussels that are considered to be “off-limits” for non-Muslims?

Of course this is not just true in Brussels. All over Europe there are sections of major cities that have been completely and totally taken over by radical Muslims. In Belgium, the rapid growth of the Islamic community has some politicians dreaming of turning that nation into a Sharia-compliant country within just a couple of decades. The following comes from Infowars…

These ghettos, which are in fact large areas of Brussels, are considered off-limits to Europeans and radical Muslims will likely comprise the majority of the population within 20 years.

“I think we have to sensitize people, make them understand the advantages to having Islamic people and Islamic laws, and then it will be completely natural to have Islamic laws and we will become an Islamic state,” a Muslim politician from Brussels, Redouane Ahrouch, said to a reporter in 2012. “In Belgium, of course!.”

“I am for the Sharia. Islamic law, I am for it. It is a long-term struggle that will take decades or a century, but the movement has been launched.”

IT WILL CONTINUE NEXT WEEK FROM QUESTION #4 AND ON.

Can you get diabetes from eating to much sugar?

by nikulpatel

When it comes to diabetes we all think that patient must have eaten too much sugar. However, relation between sugar and diabetes is always a subject of debate having different explanations. Let’s try to understand the myth of sugar and diabetes

Does sugar cause diabetes?

Diabetes can be categorized into two types: Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition which restricts your immune system of producing essential insulin and stop the entire process of converting glucose into energy. It surges the glucose level into bloodstream that increases the risk of getting type 1 diabetes. Thus, eating too much sugar in such condition can trigger body’s glucose level badly.

Type 1 diabetes can also be genetic.

Sugar plays an indirect role when it comes to Type 2 diabetes. Being an overweight which actually considered to be the main cause of type 2 diabetes.

Habit of eating foods high in calories makes you gain weight. Sugary beverages and sweeteners with added sugar contain too much calories than our body needs. Thus, our poor habit of eating high calorie food actually increase the chances of getting type 2 diabetes.

If I have been diagnosed with diabetes, can I eat sugar?

Diagnosed with Diabetes doesn’t mean that you have to cut sugar from your diet. You can still enjoy sugary foods occasionally but it should be in control and balanced diet. You can still have small servings of your favorite deserts once in a while. Small servings or substitutes of sugary foods like fruits, juices, and fruit salad help you to manage with your diabetes without cutting sugar completely from your diet.

Eating too much sugar can make it difficult to manage with diabetes especially for overweight people. Thus, now you should ask yourself that how many grams of sugar should you have a day.

Thus, American Heart Association (AHA) has provided a healthy amount of daily sugar intake for men and women.
• Men: 150 calories per day (37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons)
• Women: 100 calories per day (25 grams or 6 teaspoons)

Should I avoid sugar completely?

No, you should not. Sugar is also an essential element for our body and plays a vital role to keep your glucose level in balance. You can consume natural sugar from fruits, juices, and other natural sweeteners. What we need to avoid is foods that come with added sugar. This is something which you should not eat too much especially when you have been diagnosed with diabetes.

Small changes can make a big difference and help you to reduce your sugar intake.

Ways to reduce sugar intake

• Replace your usual chocolates, sweets and cakes with fruits
• Try natural yogurt with fruits and nuts instead of other sugary stuff
• Try to reduce the sugar in your daily drinks and meals
• Cook yourself to make sure what is in your food
• Read Nutrition facts labels before buying food products

Learn sugar’s aliases because sometimes manufacturers uses sugar aliases on labels such as high fructose corn syrup, dried cane syrup, invert sugar, molasses, sucrose, brown rice syrup, honey, and maple syrup
To minimize the rapid blood sugar fall and rise, combine protein, healthy fats and fiber with your meal
Avoid fake sugars

In brief, we can come to one conclusion that sugar can be one of the causes of diabetes as some extent. (Natural News).

Chained students demand Democrats to stop deportations of Central American children

SONY DSC

by Fernando A. Torres
Special for El Reportero

More than 50 young students, most of them from UC of Berkeley and Mills College, held a protest in downtown – Monday, March 14 – to demand the Democratic Party and the Obama administration, the immediate expansion of the (TPS) Temporary Protected Status program to stop the imprisonment and deportation of Central American refugee children fleeing violence and economic, political and environmental devastation.

David Lemus, UC Berkeley student and spokesman for Central American Refugees in Action, CARA, acronym in English, said that refugee children are the most suffering “because violence in Central America is tremendous. El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, are the most violent countries in the world, therefore we know that any child or any person who is deported it is very possible that he will be killed. The Central American community has suffered violence and trauma for decades, civil wars and genocides. Then we are saying that we don’t want that community to suffer. We want that the children who are fleeing the violence remain here,” said Lemus.

According to data released by the Organization Alliance for human Rights, between 2009 and 2015, more than 60,000 children have escaped from Central America and hundreds of them are experiencing incarceration in private prisons managed by the Department of Homeland Security.

Surrounded by police and private guards, nine students are chained lying in the lobby floor of the building where is located the office of Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein – member of the Judiciary Committee and the Subcommittee on immigration, refugees and border security – blocking the entry and the exit of the main building at Post and Market streets.

In January, more than 140 members of Congress sent a letter to President Barack Obama demanding an immediate stop to the raids of deportation. Politicians, mostly Latinos, denounced and strongly condemned the Department of Homeland Security and asked to immediately implement the temporary protected status until the Government proposes a comprehensive strategy towards refugees.

“Dianne Feinstein did not sign it. We want that the children remain and not to send them to detention facilities because a Center is a prison. The deportation is something very cruel, is to remove you from the street and get you into a place for months. Some of these children come running away from much trauma, and come to experience more traumas in detention centers! We have to get them out of there, those kids have to stay, they have to go to school,” said Lemus.

Holding a huge banner, Christopher López, UC Berkeley student, said that this situation has been transformed into a crisis which roots lie in the policy of the United States to Central America.

“We want Sen. Feinstein to hear us, because she has been a Democrat who has criticized the money that the Government the United States continues to give to the armies of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. We think that now is the time to demand that it stop all raids, deportations and that please expand the TPS because we are in a humanitarian crisis,” López said.

The students, who kept themselves shackled for more than three hours, were arrested by the police but (detention) “is the risk that some will take to ensure that this is heard not only in San Francisco, but throughout the nation with the intention that in presidential debates talk about the deportations,” said López.

According to Lemus as Democrats owe much to Latinos and therefore “we are trying to charge them a political price … because President Obama and all Democrats came with promises saying that they will help the community, but who order the raids is the President. We have to remember that at the moment, that were the Democrats who deported those refugee children. Instead of deporting them we are asking to give them a TPS so that they can stay,” said Lemus.

Arely Zimmerman, Professor of Ethnic Studies at Mills College, said that the Democrats have a debt.

“Latinos have supported them (to Dianne Feinstein) and have supported the Democratic Party in the elections, and it is time that they respond to issues that matter to us. That they should not pay us attention only when there are elections, and they want our vote. That they really work with us and especially with these young people who are the next civic and political leaders of this country,” she said.

The FCC’s plan to take over the internet has began

by John Merline

“It’s not a government takeover of the Internet.” That was the mantra of those who backed the Federal Communication Commission’s “net neutrality” rules, which the FCC approved a little over a year ago.

“Not only are the new rules not a government takeover,” argued one supporter in Variety, “they are well in keeping with how communications have been successfully fostered and regulated in America in the past.”

The rules were only meant to keep the Internet “free and open,” advocates said. All the government was doing was blocking ISPs from discriminating against users by charging more for faster speeds.

But to impose “net neutrality,” the FCC reclassified the Internet so that it could regulate it in the same way it regulated the telephone monopolies. FCC chairman Tom Wheeler promised that — despite the fact the FCC had just granted itself wide-ranging control over ISPs — it would use a “light touch” when it came to regulating ISPs.

But now, 12 months later, the FCC tipped its heavy hand with a proposal for a new set of regulations that could, as the Morning Consult put it, “reshape the tech industry.”

The proposed new rules don’t have anything to do with “net neutrality.” They are about privacy. Now that the FCC can do so, Chairman Tom Wheeler has decided that the government should impose what it determines are the appropriate privacy protections on all Internet service providers.

On the surface, the purpose of the rules seems perfectly reasonable. “Consumers should have effective control over how their personal information is used and shared by their broadband service providers,” Wheeler says.

In practice, however, it would anything but simple or straightforward.

As the Morning Consult notes, “the impact of new FCC rules on the industry would be huge.”

For one thing, a new set of FCC rules would conflict with long-standing privacy rules set by the Federal Trade Commission. Data-hogging websites sites wouldn’t have to comply with the stricter FCC rules.

In a letter to the FCC, various “consumer advocacy” groups said those FTC rules aren’t good enough, and want the commission to “exercise the full extent of its rule-making authority to protect consumer privacy.”

Industry groups say the result would be “regulatory chaos” as businesses try to figure out what rules apply where.

The point is that anyone who thought the FCC had finished its work when it imposed “net neutrality” is sorely mistaken.
The commission’s privacy rules will only be the first of many as regulators flex their newly acquired Internet muscles and as advocacy groups, well-connected businesses, or anyone looking to get a regulatory leg up on the competition will be pressuring the commission to add new rules, always wrapped in a “good for the consumer” package.

Further intrusion into the ISP world will only worsen the damage already being done by the FCC’s decision to treat the 21st century Internet like a 20th century telephone monopoly.

As FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai explained in a recent speech at the Heritage Foundation, in just the first year, “growth in broadband investment has flat-lined,” and smaller ISPs “have reduced investment in the communities they serve.” As an example, he noted that Verizon (VZ) recently decided to acquire AOL for $4.4 billion because “it made more sense than increasing fiber deployment.”

Pai, who fiercely opposed the FCC’s actions, says home broadband adoption has declined for the first time “since the advent of the commercial Internet.”

He notes that the rule is hampering innovative services like T-Mobile’s (TMUS) Binge On program, which lets customers stream videos without it counting against their data usage. Despite the obvious consumer benefit, the FCC thinks Binge On might violate the government’s new Internet “conduct standard,” and so has opened an investigation.

“At least three other companies have received similar treatment,” Pai noted.

Pai and others had warned about all these outcomes from the get go. Those who are surprised by the FCC’s actions over the past year have only themselves to blame.

Peru’s Electoral Board rules in favor of presidential candidate

by the El Reportero’s wire services

Lima´s Special Electoral Board decided in favor of the continuity of Keiko Fujimori´s presidential run, by ruling that she did not violate the law while presiding over an act in which money was handed out.

In a statement announced early today, the court ruled that the request for exclusion was groundless. The candidate has been accused of handing out money with proselytizing purposes, a practice that is banned by the law.

“The candidate has not engaged in the prohibited practice of handing out money or gifts in order to obtain votes”, adds the resolution, published on the Board´s website.

The text continues on saying that no strong evidence that proves a breach of the Political Organizations Act.

Keiki Fujimoru, daughter of former ruler Alberto Fujimori who is in prison for crimes against humanity and corruption, argued that the during the ceremony prize money was given to winners in a dance contest; it was not a party meeting and neither her nor her organization handed out the prizes.

The decision leaves open the possibility for complainants to appeal to the National Electoral Board, which could definitely ratify or modify the decision.

Monsignor Romero remembered on his murder anniversary

Salvadorans today remember Monsignor Oscar Arnulfo Romero, Blessed of the Catholic Church for his commitment to defend the poor from the ambitions and abuses of power groups, on the 36th anniversary of his assassination.

The date of his murder coincides this year with Holy Thursday, when the priestly promises are renewed.

The martyr of the Catholic Church, baptized by the people as San Romero of America, was killed by a sniper on March 24, 1980, when he was holding a mass in the chapel of Divine Providence Hospital in this capital.

‘I would like to make a special appeal to the men of the army, and specifically to the bases of the National Guard, police, barracks Brothers, are our own people, killing your own brother peasants and above an order to kill given by a man must prevail the law of God that says: “You won’t kill”, said in a homily. ‘No soldier is obliged to obey an order against the law of God. An immoral law, nobody has to comply it. It is time to regain your conscience and obey before your conscience than an order of sin ‘, he added.

Monsignor Romero, being aware of abuses suffered by the population, had demanded the end of repression one day before his death.

He assured the church, defender of the rights and the law of God and human dignity, could not remain silent before such abomination.

The Truth Commission investigating the crimes committed during the armed conflict (1980-1992), pointed the founder of the party Nationalist Republican Alliance, Roberto d’Aubuisson, as the mastermind of this murder.

Monsignor Oscar Arnulfo Romero was beatified on May 23, 2015.

Film of ex President Mujica at Toulouse Festival

by the El Reportero’s news services

The Toulouse Latin American Film Festival today screens the documentary ‘Pepe’ Mujica, el Presidente.
The film is considered a moving and inspiring depiction of an exceptional man. Its director, Heidi Specogna, shot it after years of constant exchange with the former Uruguayan president (2010-2015).

About 30 films are competing in the festival, which concludes on the 20th of March, in the categories of fiction, short films and documentaries.

Rated as epic concert of The Rolling Stones in Colombia

The Rolling Stones are recovering today from the concert given at Bogota’s Nemesio Camacho El Campín stadium, to travel to Mexico early next week, for the penultimate performance in their current Latin American tour.

Their presentation yesterday in Bogota is described today by the cultural spaces as epic, even more with the surprise performance of Juanes featuring the British group.

Managing more than the Spanish, the leader of the band, Mick Jagger said the Colombian slang, in the middle of the concert: Dear rolos (people from the capital) we have a surprise for you, now comes to sing with us a parcero (friend) that we love.
It was a delirium what happened on Nemesio Camacho stadium when the antiochiam musitian appeared with his guitar to play with Jagger and the veteran group the song ‘Beast of Burden’, the great success of the quartet’s album ‘Some Girls’, released in 1978.

Juanes had announced on social networks hours before that he was very excited to attend the concert, but the surprise was maintained until the announcement at the football field by the lead singer of The Rolling Stones.

The followers of the UK group hummed each of the songs played by the band from the first minute, while being astonished by the conservation of the voice and energy of Jagger, already 72 years old.

The British rock band will conclude its Latin American tour with a free concert on March 25 at the Havana’s Sports City, which is already considered by many as the historical end of the tour.

She had an abortion at 15, how it changed her life

by Kelsey Harkness

Nona Ellington was 15 years old when she found out she was pregnant. A victim of rape, Ellington felt alone, ashamed, and desperate for help.

After a free pregnancy test came back positive, showing that Ellington was five weeks pregnant, she went forward and scheduled an abortion.

Around October 1983, Ellington, who was still in high school at the time, aborted the only child she would ever successfully conceive.

“As a result of that [abortion], I was never able to have children,” Ellington told The Daily Signal. “I had five miscarriages, two were pregnancies that required emergency surgery, and [during] the last one in 2004, the only tube I had left ruptured, so I was bleeding internally, and they almost lost me.”

When Ellington was eventually ready to have children with her then-husband, she said she visited a fertility doctor who “confirmed that it was the abortion that had damaged me so much that I was not able to have children.”

Ellington considered trying in vitro fertilization (IVF)—where an embryo is manually transferred into the uterus—but said even if it would work, her health insurance didn’t cover the cost.

“It covered abortion. But not fertility stuff,” Ellington said.

Looking back on her experience, Ellington calls abortion the most “selfish” decision she ever made, and now she spends her time trying to warn other women against it.

As part of that effort, Ellington joined 3,348 women who shared their abortion “injury” stories with the U.S. Supreme Court as part of what’s called an amicus curiae brief.

Their hope is that by discussing their “injuries”—both physical and mental—the Supreme Court justices will uphold a controversial Texas law that places new regulations on the abortion industry.

The case, Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, is being called one of the biggest abortion cases since Roe. v Wade, in which the Supreme Court said that women have a right to abortion while also affirming a state’s right to regulate the practice.
Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt could signal how far states are allowed to go in issuing those regulations.

The law in question, known as H.B.2, requires abortion facilities in Texas to maintain the same standards as ambulatory surgery centers and abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.

Whole Woman’s Health and its supporters believe that the imposed regulations dangerously limit women’s access to safe and legal abortion.

“Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures performed in the United States, and neither of the requirements imposed by the Texas law would make it any safer,” the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said in a statement. “Worse, this law clearly imposes an undue burden on a large number of Texan women, who would no longer have reasonable access to abortion care when needed, forcing them to wait longer before an abortion, travel across state lines for safe care, or even forego abortion care altogether.”

Those in favor of upholding the law argue that the regulations are “commonsense” for the health and safety of women.
The law, wrote Sarah Torre, a pro-life expert at The Heritage Foundation, “was passed in response to the conviction of late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell, who ran a ‘House of Horrors’ abortion clinic for over a decade with nearly no government oversight.” She added:

After the Gosnell grand jury recommended new clinic regulations and after hearings on the medical risks of abortion, Texas (along with other states) decided to require abortion clinics to meet the same minimum cleanliness and safety standards as other outpatient surgery facilities and require doctors performing abortions to have the credentials to admit a patient to a nearby hospital.

Myra Jean Myers, another plaintiff on the Supreme Court brief, said she’s experienced some of these dangers firsthand. Both Myers and Ellington spoke last week at a press conference held at the Family Research Institute one day before the court heard oral arguments for the case.

“Abortion is a dangerous procedure,” Myers said. After her procedure, Myers said, “I had a hysterectomy two months later.”
A hysterectomy is a surgery to remove a woman’s uterus. At 28 years old, Myers, too, would never be able to conceive again due to her abortion.

Allen E. Parker, a lawyer at The Justice Foundation, which is the non-profit submitting the personal testimony by women who allege injuries caused by abortion, said most of the participants “suffered grievous psychological injuries,” “but many suffered severe physical complications as well.”

The most common physical complications of abortion, he added, are hemorrhaging, punctured uterus, punctured colons, and scarring of the uterus.

“In abortion, you’re basically scraping the walls of the uterus and the contents of the uterus with a scalpel-like instrument,” he said. “And you’re doing it by hand in most instances, or by feel, the doctors would say. And you can punch the wrong part, and that’s where the complications occur.”

As for the mental conditions, Parker cited guilt, shame, sadness, depression, anxiety, drug abuse, and suicide as the most common conditions.

Ellington blames her abortion for causing her to “spiral” into a “very destructive behavior of drugs, alcohol, and promiscuous sex.”

Myers said that while the physical scars are still present, it’s the mental anguish that continues to haunt her.
“Nothing wounds you like being responsible for the death of your child,” she said at the press conference.

Parker, who sounded hopeful that the Supreme Court will consider the testimony of the 3,348 women when issuing their ruling in the case, added, “Whether you’re for abortion or against it, you can acknowledge that some women are hurt by abortion, and we ought to do everything we can to protect these women.”

Elimination of the First Amendment is a precondition to genocide – Part 3 and Last

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR:

Very little is written in the mainstream media about the Constitution, which is the column from where liberty sustains itself. This following article, written by Dave Hodges, is a good piece everyone should read, if not, follow this writer. Because of its length, we have divided it into three parts. THIS IS PART 3 of 3.

by Dave Hodges

I believe that ultimately, the questions of the future will not revolve around who flies, but who dies.

According to insider sources, demographic maps have already been created in which red dots appear on a data screen by address of people judged to be a threat as determined by the algorithms derived the NSA protocols.

If you are in the independent media, you are at the top of the list. When the DHS goon squads arrive at our homes at 3AM, we in the alternative media will be going to a FEMA Camp, or worse. And what is our crime? Encouraging citizens to express their positive or negative opinions against this out of control administration.

My sources for years have revealed that the leaders of the resistance are on what could be called a “red list” and will be summarily executed along with their families.

The Verizon and Google data dump to the feds is just the tip of the iceberg. For example, because of cell phone tracking, if you have ever met with a person of concern (e.g. an alternative media figure), your score goes up because your two cell phones came into close proximity. And the  longer you meet with this person, the more points are awarded to your threat matrix score. This is a violation of another First Amendment right, the right peaceably assemble.

Keep in mind the Threat Matrix Score is like golf. The goal is to have a low score, that is if you want to live.  The person’s score will also rise if they visit the wrong websites, belong to the Libertarian party, own a gun, vote for third party candidates and are a veteran.  Many of the sources for the independent media has revealed that demographic maps have already been created in which red dots appear on a data screen by address. The red dots represent people who have received a high score and DHS swat teams will sweep pre-designated areas. The DHS swat teams along with their 2.2 billion rounds of ammunition and 2,700 armored personnel carriers will be the vanguard force behind this terrible tyranny.

All others will continue to be placed under extreme surveillance with the threat of removal to a re-education camp or worse. There is a reason why DHS has spent billions on Intellistreet light poles and spy cams at every major intersection. And if you think you can ride this out, read Executive Order 13603. You will be assigned to work wherever this administration wants. Families will be broken apart by this calamity. All of sudden, the CPS tactics and the anti-family courts make a little more sense don’t they? If you are taken to a re-education camp, please consider that your family will be split apart. Men to one camp, women to another and children to a third and you don’t even want to know what my sources tell me about the third kind of camp.“

“I don’t care if the government spies on me and monitors my activities and the statements that I make because I am not doing anything wrong.” Hopefully this article exposes the folly of this thinking.

Conclusion

If you wish to stay mired in the matrix, you will of course see no threat to your existence. Of course none of this will never happen. The government may pass laws which appear on the surface to be quite draconian, however, they would never act upon these laws and Executive Orders. The government may tell you that you, in effect, that your bank deposits are not money and are no longer insured. But they don’t really mean it. The 2.2 billion rounds of ammunition purchased by DHS is only for target practice. And you are the target, for daring to express your First Amendment right to free speech and peaceably assemble. How long will it be until they come after another protected activity, namely, freedom of religion? That day is coming as we are witnessing the incremental dismantling of the First Amendment. This administration and those that follow them must really be up to no good if they are working this hard to stifle free speech.

Let’s be clear. When governments engage in genocide, they first engage in the following progression of events.

Elimination of Free Speech.
Confiscation of guns.
Identification of the “enemy of the State” that must be eliminated for the safety of all.
