MONKEY TORTURE =PLEASE HELP=
FREE THE SIX FLAGS ELEPHANTS!
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Free-the-Six-Flags-7
Living in an amusement park is no fun for the seven elephants at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. If you visit the Elephant Encounter, notice the bullhooks in the hands of the elephant keepers. Bullhooks are shaped like fireplace pokers with a sharp steel hook at the end.
NO MORE PRIMATES IMPORTED FOR EXPERIMENTS!
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/no-more-monkeys-imported-for-cruel-false-quotresearchquot
We feel that the capture and breeding of wild non-human primates from Mauritius for import into the United States or any other nation for the purpose of "scientific research" is an unconscionable abuse and subjects those primates to lives of unmitigating hell. We also feel that the value of such experiments are dubious at best and do not merit the destruction of other living, sentient beings, particularly some of our closest relatives.
STOP ANIMAL TESTING LAB, COVANCE, FROM OPENING IN ARIZONA
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/470036461
Covanceis an animal testing lab trying to come to Chandler, Arizona. They have MANY Animal Welfare Acts violations as well as a terrible history of controlling dangerous viruses such as Ebola! The city council and mayor's office have gone behind closed doors to bring this company to the city without any input from local residents. We are trying to stop that! Covance is clearly NOT a company we want doing business near us...or anywhere!
REUNITE CHIMP BROTHERS HUNTER AND LYONS!! I'm begging you, can't we please try to get this to target? Let's reunite these poor boys as they have suffered ENOUGH!!
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/petition/877116649
Hunter and Lyons were removed in 2005 from the Yerkes Primate Facility and sent to separate locations after 21 years together. Your help is vital to see that these two chimpanzees are reunited together in permanent sanctuary - forever.
CRUEL US SOLDIERS =MUST WATCH=
The Digg story "U.S. Soldier throws puppy off cliff" had, at last count, 5,527 votes. Digg commenters, never a demure crowd, aren't holding back their rage. One comment, itself voted for 540 times, reads "Wow. I hope he got shot in the face later that day." This video exposes something about the dehumanization of American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan that most of us don't want to think about. Here are five more videos that show just how far gone our troops are. A warning: These videos are explicit and -- withthe known correlationbetween violence toward animals and violence toward other humans in mind -- savagely disheartening.

<table class="" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="600" border="0"><tbody><tr><td class=""></td></tr><tr><td class="">Dear Friend,
A wildlife refuge in Alaska is at risk of being irreparably damaged by oil drilling.
Please speak up opposing this move by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, before the March 25 comment deadline.
The Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge, home to millions of migratory birds as well as grizzlies, wolves and Dall sheep, is under threat.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to trade away 110,000 acres of prime refuge wildlife habitat - along with another 97,000 acres of subsurface mineral rights - for oil and gas exploration and development.
We still have time to stop this ill-conceived plan. Until March 25, Americans can speak out in support of the native people who rely on the land, water, and wildlife resources of Yukon Flats by opposing this unwise use of the refuge's irreplaceable habitat.
Click here to send a message to the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Taking action today makes you eligible to win a trip for two to Alaska.
Your voice is key. Even the Fish and Wildlife Service has admitted in the past that oil drilling is not compatible with the purposes for which this refuge was established.
But they need to be reminded.Drilling means roads, pipelines, oil spills and pollution - all of which will threaten the habitats of the moose, bear, caribou and birds that depend on this place. Native peoples living off of the land could be irreversibly affected by oil production in the area.
Time is running out. We have only until March 25 to let the Fish and Wildlife Service know that Americans do not support oil production in this Alaskan refuge!
Click here to send your message.
These public lands must be protected - and concerned Americans like you and me need to step up to save them. Together we can work to protect wild Alaskan lands from oil development.

~abolish suicide causing "antidepressants"
If you know of anybody who is taking anti depressants or pain pills, please ask them to look at the facts online, how many people have died.
This is a very resent personal story from a friend on MySpace. One of "countless" stories that I've read and saved throughout the years. Ron G. Eyes Wide Open PLEASE READ...
..My Dear Friends,
....Please Sign and Repost! My Dear Brother Danny Roy Beard passed 27th July. He was prescribed what is commonly called "Black Box Warning" SSRI -"antidepressant" drug(s), that have been proven to cause hundreds of thousands of people to either turn to suicide, or live on the brink of it. The FDA has issued these "Black Box Warnings", and there are countless families losing loved ones because many Dr.'s ignore the facts and push the pills and the people through the conveyor belt. When they should be taking the time to make sure every individual is treated with the utmost care and individual well being.
My Dear Brother is the second person I have lost in the last 6 and a half yrs. due to the pharmaceutical industries and Dr.s Not doing whatever it takes to prevent Death to their "patients"- the other being our Dear Andrew Patrick Johnson, our bass player and beloved friend, who was overdosed by his Dr.'s on his pain medications.
I am currently networking to find ways that we can make sure that this NEVER happens to another family again!!! So, if anyone out there has any helpful tips, much appreciated.
In the mean time, here are a few petitions I found this a.m.
I must say that it is So sad and disgusting that they apparently Do Not care about the lives, and families they are putting at risk. Not to mention the years of deaths and cover ups, fake trial and jury's etc. etc. they have been involved with.
To loose someone close to you to Death is hard.
To loose someone to suicide is one of the most horrible nightmares you could imagine and could never fully understand unless you have....
Chemically Induced Compliance: The Drugging of Kids and Garbage Science in America
Read about the families who say "no"
The risks of prescribing stimulants for children
<hr />
"(The drug) produced a marked increase in compliance and sustained attention to the activities assigned during the structured task session."
APPROXIMATELY TWO MILLION of America's children are being dosed daily with amphetamines and amphetamine-like drugs like Ritalin and Adderall at the insistence of teachers and school administrators. Why?
What follows are quotes from various books and studies as well as short essays on the pseudo-science behind this new form of "medicine."
This is science?
"When I first began evaluating...for ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), I wanted to find out how other doctors dealt with this new group of patients, so I consulted with a fellow ADD specialist nearby. It was no big deal to him: "Just count the symptoms," he told me, "and if they meet the criteria, you can treat them" (with medication, it was implied. The subtleties and contradictions of behavior and emotions, the interactions of relationship and environment - none of this seemed important to him. It made me wonder why a doctor was needed, if this was all an evaluation required."
Lawrence H. Diller, M.D. from "Running on Ritalin"
Ritalin (and Adderall) logic: An imaginary conversation
1. What do psychoactive drugs do?
A: They change brain chemistry.2. Why do you want to change the brain chemistry of small children?
A: Their brain chemistry is flawed.3. What biologically based test do you use to determine that this is so?
A: We do not use such tests.4. Why not?
A: There are no valid tests available.5. How then do you diagnose and prescribe?
A: We use behavioral tests.6. Are you saying that merely by observing a child's behavior you can tell exactly what problems he has with his or her brain chemistry and then prescribe the correct substance in the precise dose needed to correct it?
A: That's the theory.7. Why do you suggest to some parents that they give their children a vacation from these drugs on the weekends and on holidays, including summer vacation?
A: These children have their biggest problems in the school environment.8. Are you suggesting that the brain chemistry of these children is different on the weekend than it is Monday through Friday?
A: The problems are often more acute in the school environment.9. Why do you think it is that countries with better health care systems and longer life spans than ours (Japan, Sweden, and Switzerland, for example) prescribe almost no Ritalin or Adderall for their children and that the US and Canada consume over 85% of the world's supply of these drugs?
A: They are not as advanced as we are in the diagnosis and treatment of ADD and ADHD as we are.10. Since you have no biologically based test for the drugs you are prescribing and there is no scientifically valid evidence that proves these drugs are effective or even safe, how can you claim that your science on this subject is superior?
A: I'm an expert. How dare you question me? You are obviously anti-child and anti-progress. This interview is over.The risks of prescribing stimulants for children
<hr />
Adderall: The new wonder drug for Attention Deficit Disorder
Ingredients:Amphetamine Asparate - 25%
Amphetamine Sulfate - 25%
Dextroamphetamine Saccharate - 25%
Dextroamphetamine Sulfate - 25%Before being prescribed for children, Adderall was prescribed as an appetite suppressant for the dangerously obese.
What the drug companies (and their client doctors) say about this wonder drug and why it is an improvement over Ritalin:
"Multiple Dose Availability Adderall tablets include 5, 10, 20, and 30 mg doses, more than any other psychostimulant. It is now possible, using Adderall 5, 10, 20, and 30 mg tablets to prescribe doses in increments as low as 1.25 mg rather accurately. This has made Adderall BY FAR the most micro-manageable stimulant medication ever developed...
Micro-Dose Incremental Flexibility All Adderall tablets are DOUBLE-SCORED, thus can be accurately split into quarters or halves for careful dose management...
Using this strategy, it is possible to make incremental adjustments in dose with accuracy in patients of all ages, and to do so far better than is possible with any other stimulant preparation. THIS IS A HUGE and IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE IN EFFECTIVE PATIENT CARE."
In other words: It comes is a wider variety of sizes.
Ritalin: What the studies really show
<li>The unwanted side effects are (commonly) problems with eating and sleeping, possible negative effects on cognition (diminished creativity) and self-image, and rare or disputable increases in motor or verbal tics. <p mce_keep="true"> </p></li> <li>There is no long term evidence of improvement of children taking Ritalin. No improvement in academic outcome can be attributed solely to its effects, no decrease in anti-social behavior or arrest rates, and only small effects on learning and achievement. <p mce_keep="true"> </p></li> <li>There exist no neurological, physiological, or biochemical means to predict or determine response to Ritalin. <p mce_keep="true"> </p></li> <li>Ritalin does not improve complex skills such as reading, athletic ability, and social behavior. Grades may improve, but Ritalin cannot correct a learning disability...Ritalin does not improve significant emotional problems. <p><b>Source</b>: James M. Swanson, Keith McBurnett, et. al. "Effect of Stimulant Medication on Children with Attention Deficit Disorder: A 'Review of Reviews'" Exceptional Children, vol. 60 (1993), pp. 154-61 </p> <hr /><h3>A sample diagnostic test</h3> <p>"...One test indicated (Tim) was 'off task 100%.' That sounded ominous. What was this test about? </p> <p>The test for inattention involved placing Tim in a room where he thought he had privacy and then observing him through a one-way mirror while he did math problems...every 30 seconds the observer behind the glass marked down if Tim was 'off task' at all during the half minute. </p> <p>How was 'off task' defined? On cross-examination, the psychologist explained that "If the child breaks eye contact with the math problems, then he or she is coded as off task." Tim, unaware that he was being watched, broke eye contact with his work in that lonely little room at least once during every 30 second interval of time. Thus the ominous conclusion that he was "off task 100%." </p> <p>...Now for the crucial question. How did (ten year old) Tim score of the math test? He got 100%...and this (became) a major piece of evidence for diagnosing him with ADHD and for drugging him against his father's wishes." </p> <p><b>Source</b>: "Talking Back to Ritalin" by Peter R.

Doctor alleges plans underway to "Microchip" Newborns in U.S. and Europe
Compiled by Lucien Desjardins
Regarding plans to microchip newborns, Dr. Kilde said the U.S. has been moving in this direction "in secrecy."
She added that in Sweden, Prime Minister Olof Palme gave permission in 1973 to implant prisoners, and Data Inspection's ex-Director General Jan Freese revealed that nursing-home patients were implanted in the mid-1980s. The technology is revealed in the 1972:47 Swedish state report, Statens Officiella Utradninger.
Are you prepared to live in a world in which every newborn baby is micro-chipped? And finally are you ready to have your every move tracked, recorded and placed in Big Brother's data bank? According to the Finnish article, distributed to doctors and medical students, time is running out for changing the direction of military medicine and mind control technology, ensuring the future of human freedom.
"Implanted human beings can be followed anywhere. Their brain functions can be remotely monitored by supercomputers and even altered through the changing of frequencies," wrote Dr. Kilde. "Guinea pigs in secret experiments have included prisoners, soldiers, mental patients,handicapped children, deaf and blind people, homosexuals, single women, the elderly, school children, and any group of people considered "marginal" by the elite experimenters. The published experiences of prisoners in Utah State Prison, for example, are shocking to the conscience.
"Today's microchips operate by means of low-frequency radio waves that target them. With the help of satellites, the implanted person can be tracked anywhere on the globe. Such a technique was among a number tested in the Iraq war, according to Dr. Carl Sanders, who invented the intelligence-manned interface (IMI) biotic, which is injected into people. (Earlier during the Vietnam War, soldiers were injected with the Rambo chip, designed to increase adrenaline flow into the bloodstream.) The 20-billion-bit/second supercomputers at the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) could now "see and hear" what soldiers experience in the battlefield with a remote monitoring system (RMS).
"When a 5-micromillimeter microchip (the diameter of a strand of hair is 50 micromillimeters) is placed into optical nerve of the eye,", Dr. Kilde indicates "it draws neuro-impulses from the brain that embody the experiences, smells, sights, and voice of the implanted person. Once transferred and stored in a computer, these neuro-impulses can be projected back to the person's brain via the microchip to be re-experienced. Using a RMS, a land-based computer operator can send electromagnetic messages (encoded as signals) to the nervous system, affecting the target's performance. With RMS, healthy persons can be induced to see hallucinations and to hear voices in their heads. "
"Every thought, reaction, hearing, and visual observation causes a certain neurological potential, spikes, and patterns in the brain and its electromagnetic fields, which can now be decoded into thoughts, pictures, and voices, " Dr. Kilde adds. "Electromagnetic stimulation can therefore change a person's brainwaves and affect muscular activity, causing painful muscular cramps experienced as torture."
THIS IS A MUST WATCH!! =IMPORTANT=
A colleague has just posted a very important
video on a very important topic.
There is pending legislation in the US that
would criminalize speech on topics the government
deems "threatening."
The law is called H.R. 1955.
It goes by the Orwellian name: "The violent
radicalization and homegrown terrorism prevention
act."
It quietly passed the House by a 404 to 6 vote and
at least one Congressman admits voting for it
without reading it.
Language in this bill makes it theoretically
possible for government agents to shut down
sites like Brasscheck TV by claiming that
the information we share *may* insight violence.
Here's how I need your help...
Few Americans even know of the existence of this
legislation let alone know what's in it.
The Internet can change that - and your help is
needed.
Please go to the site, view the video, and
if you are a YouTube member (it's easy to
join) rate it, favorite it, and post a comment.
Frequent viewings and frequent posts help.
With enough activity in the next 24 hours, we
may be able to make this one of the most popular
news videos of the day and raise the profile on
this very important subject.
Thanks.

Begin Change NOW With Cheney Impeachment HearingsBy an overwhelming 79%-12% margin, Americans want to change the disastrous direction George Bush and Dick Cheney have taken us. But there's no need to wait until January 2009 - we can begin change now with impeachment.
Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) is organizing his colleagues to ask House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers to begin Cheney impeachment hearings, and he needs our help.
We're asking other Judiciary Committee Members to co-sign Wexler's letter to Conyers, and we're asking the rest of Congress to send their own letters to Conyers. Please email your Congressmember here:
http://www.democrats.com/peoplesemailnetwork/125On Wednesday, please call your Congressmember through the Capitol Hill Switchboard (202) 224-3121, toll-free at 1-800-828-0498, or directly (http://www.democrats.com/congress). Tell your Congressmember to urge Chairman Conyers to begin impeachment hearings for Dick Cheney. Then tell your friends and call and email the media.

Tell the Candidates: Change Begins NOW
![]()
If Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today, he wouldn't be sniping over the Voting Rights Act of 1964 or Iraq War speeches in 2002.
He'd be leading the largest protests our nation has ever seen to end to the occupation of Iraq, restore the Constitution, massively shift funds from the military to humanity, and impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney for their war crimes and lies.
If the Democratic candidates for President want to compete on who is a better agent of change, it's time for them - all of them - to stop talking and start acting. Email Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, and Barack Obama to
1. Oppose any more Iraq War funds
2. Support Sen. Chris Dodd's filibuster of telco immunity for warrantless wiretapping
3. Support Rep. Robert Wexler's call for Cheney impeachment hearings
4. Support Rep. John Conyers' single-payer non-profit health care planhttp://www.democrats.com/change-now-petition

Boycott General Electric for Censoring Kucinich
General Electric corporate family member NBC has rewritten its criteria for including candidates in debates specifically to exclude the real peace candidate, Dennis Kucinich. Of course GE is a major weapons manufacturer so peace threatens its profits.
Less than 44 hours after NBC sent a congratulatory note and an invitation to Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich to participate in the Jan. 15 Democratic Presidential debate in Las Vegas, the network notified the campaign that it was changing it announced criteria, rescinding its invitation, and excluding Kucinich from the debate.
Contact your congress member and your local media:

INTERNET SURVEILLANCE V/S FREEDOM
Social Repression and Internet SurveillanceH. Res. 1695, 1955 & S.1959By Nikki AlexanderIf current employees of the Federal Government are not happy with the laws that govern this country and would prefer to live under totalitarian regimes they are free to exit and live elsewhere. They are not free to pervert our laws to conform with their own personal belief systems and ideologically based values.

"THINKING" is now a crime!! =MUST READ=
Thinking For Yourself Is Now A CrimeBy Paul Craig RobertsWhat was the greatest failure of 2007? President Bush's "surge" in Iraq? The decline in the value of the US dollar? Subprime mortgages? No. The greatest failure of 2007 was the newly sworn in Democratic Congress.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A colleague has just posted a very important
video on a very important topic.
There is pending legislation in the US that
would criminalize speech on topics the government
deems "threatening."
The law is called H.R. 1955.
It goes by the Orwellian name: "The violent
radicalization and homegrown terrorism prevention
act."
It quietly passed the House by a 404 to 6 vote and
at least one Congressman admits voting for it
without reading it.
Language in this bill makes it theoretically
possible for government agents to shut down
sites like Brasscheck TV by claiming that
the information we share *may* insight violence.
Here's how I need your help...
Few Americans even know of the existence of this
legislation let alone know what's in it.
The Internet can change that - and your help is
needed.
Please go to the site, view the video, and
if you are a YouTube member (it's easy to
join) rate it, favorite it, and post a comment.
Frequent viewings and frequent posts help.
With enough activity in the next 24 hours, we
may be able to make this one of the most popular
news videos of the day and raise the profile on
this very important subject.
Thanks.

P.S. Please share this e-mail with friends
and colleagues.
H.R. 1955 is one of the most dramatic assaults
on the right to free speech that I've ever seen.
