When MEDICINE becomes MURDER: America's vaccine narrative now mirrors Nazi eugenics propaganda

February 23, 2015
With each passing day as vaccine fanaticism spreads like a virus of the mind across the mainstream media, America is marching down the path of genocide and heinous human rights violations in the name of "SCIENCE!"
The very arguments used by today's vaccine pushers to claim that the government should force everyone to be vaccinated against their will closely resemble the eugenics justifications of Nazi Germany. The collection of Nazi propaganda posters you see below has been translated by Natural News in order to show the parallels between Nazi crimes against humanity and today's fanatical vaccine mandate schemes that are based on very similar moral justification and distorted logic.
When DROPOUT isn't a bad word: Some local teens are thriving by setting their own schedules and learning by doing

Anna Finklestein left Sharon High School after the ninth grade because she was bored and felt she could put her time to better use.
She started a professional theater company for young adults, interned at Boston's Huntington Theater and took college courses at the Harvard Extension School. "I'm unschooled. I basically control what I do," said Finklestein.
When Data Don't Mean That One Way Is Best

Too often in education, there is a rush to compare programs, schools or even entire reform movements that simply are not comparable.
A case in point. A few months ago, I wrote about the Kauffman Foundation's scholarship program, which guaranteed poor children at public schools in the Kansas City, Mo., area a free college education. Starting in 1988, the foundation chose 1,394 ninth graders and with a staff of 11 to provide a safety net, offered assistance that would be available all the way through college.
When Children See Internet Pornography

PARENTS have learned to expect, and often dread, two sex talks with their children: the early lesson about the "birds and the bees" and the more delicate discussion of how to navigate a healthy sexual life as a young adult.
But now they are wrestling with a third: the pornography talk. There is no set script, and no predictable moment for the conversation. It can happen at as early an age as 6 or 7, when a child may not yet understand the basic mechanics of sex. It is typically set off by a child's accidental wanderings online or the deliberate searches of a curious teenager on a smartphone, laptop, tablet or one of the other devices that have made it nearly impossible to grow up without encountering sexually explicit material.
What's Wrong with Making Future Generations Pay for our Debt?

Unless they get so angry at us that they send terminators from the future to kill us.
Wow, that whole debt-ceiling debate was scary. For a while there, it looked like a few radical extremists were going to keep the country from going further into debt. And then where would we be? Without all the free stuff we like, because some people are stuck on the primitive notion that a budget should balance? I think you can say without hyperbole that people who think like that are literally terrorists, except a million times worse. What makes people think the government should spend less money than it brings in? Probably racism. Also, a lust for violence. Because there is no logical reason for the government to spend less. None.
What's the Return on Education?
by Anna Bernasek
December 11, 2005
SOCRATES once said that the more he learned, the more he became convinced of his own ignorance. It's a familiar feeling for anyone who tries to make sense of the American education system.
This academic year, the better part of $1 trillion will be spent on education in the United States. That's an awful lot of spending, approaching 10 percent of the overall economy. But what exactly is the return on all of that money' While the costs are fairly simple to calculate, the benefits of education are harder to sum up.
What's the matter with Soledad O'Brien?

CNN's Soledad O'Brien isn't used to criticism. In the world of media elites, she's a beloved figure and an award-winning news anchor.
But last week, she revealed her true, decidedly non-neutral colors. And she's not happy about the hoi polloi questioning her hallowed journalistic objectivity. On Thursday, O'Brien interviewed Joel Pollak, editor-in-chief of the late Andrew Breitbart's online empire. Breitbart's BigGovernment.com released a 1991 video of Barack Obama (then a 30-year-old law student) at a Harvard rally embracing radical racialist Derrick Bell and his push for more aggressive race-based hiring at Harvard. Bell is a proponent of critical race theory (CRT), which posits that America remains a hopelessly racist country dominated by Jews and white supremacists.
What's the Matter with Obama's Kansas Speech?

Nothing fair about it.
You can't say the message of Obama's December 6 speech in Osawatomie, Kansas, should have been a surprise to anyone. After all, he's been beating the class warfare drum for much of his administration, and the idea of higher taxes on the rich to promote income redistribution is something he telegraphed as far back as the 2008 campaign, with his impromptu reaction in the famous Joe the Plumber incident. During the 2008 presidential campaign Obama also stated an interest in using the capital gains tax primarily as an instrument of "fairness" - even if a rise in the rate would cause a decline in the amount of tax taken in.
What's the evidence on using rational argument to change people's minds?

Are we, the human species, unreasonable? Do rational arguments have any power to sway us, or is it all intuition, hidden motivations, and various other forms of prejudice?
The question has been hanging over me because of my profession. I work as a cognitive psychologist, researching and teaching how people think. My job is based on rational inquiry, yet the picture of human rationality painted by our profession can seem pretty bleak. Every week I hear about a new piece of research which shows up some quirk of our minds, like the one about people given a heavy clip board judge public issues as more important than people given a light clip board. Or that more attractive people are judged as more trustworthy, or the arguments they give as more intelligent.
What was daily life like for an average citizen in Nazi Germany?

It was, at least in the beginning, the total incarnation of the Paradise for most of the despaired people in germany. Of course, you had to be a part of the white, ethnic-German majority proactively following the upcoming Nazi-pseudo-religion.
After the (lost) war, life continued to get worse for average people from year to year, people who witnessed at the same time the fantastic financial gains of a very small upper class, driven by available cheap labor and the mathematics of capitalism. This effect of a deep split within the society and it's interpretation was important for later, the "guilt" had been transferred entirely and exclusively to the German-Jewish upper class and eventually to any people of Jewish descent in Germany. This happened openly even through newspapers from 1933 on. Most notorious and prevalent was the infamous "Der Stürmer" publication.
