Activists 'terrorize' ex-'gay' conference

World Net Daily (MA)

November 2, 2005

Enraged homosexual activists, shouting obscenities and chanting, amassed outside a Baptist church in Boston to harass and intimidate attendees of a Focus on the Family conference on recovering from homosexuality through the power of God.

The protesters - present from 8 a.m. Saturday until the event ended in the evening - yelled, screamed and defiantly waved signs at the Tremont Temple Baptist Church in Boston, prompting police to order conference participants to remain inside, reported Article 8 Alliance, a group campaigning against same-sex marriage.

Dryer balls cut dryer time

My mother gave me these funny balls a few weeks ago. She'd been going on and on about them for a few weeks.

I take it all back. These little balls actually do cut my laundry's drying time and my clothes feel softer without a dryer sheet. I hate dryer sheets with all the fury of a housewife.

Avian flu man 'made £4m from smuggled birds'

CUSTOMS officers claim that the businessman at the centre of Britain's first avian flu case made up to £4m from an alleged bird-smuggling operation.

Officers working under cover found that Brett Hammond secretly imported thousands of exotic birds using fake documents more than a decade ago, according to court records. Despite the discovery of the illegal trade, Hammond was allowed to continue to run one of Britain's 83 quarantine centres, which are a key defence against an avian flu pandemic.

Is Avian Flu another Pentagon Hoax?

No sooner are indictments being handed down to Scooter Libby, for lies and coverup of information, but a new scandal is surfacing every bit as outrageous and ultimately, likely also criminal.

Against all scientific prudence and normal public health procedure, the world population is being whipped up into a fear frenzy by irresponsible public health officials from the US Administration to WHO to the United States Centers for Disease Control. They all warn about the imminent danger that a malicious viral strain might spread from infected birds, primarily in Vietnam and other Asian centers, to contaminate the entire human species in pandemic proportions. Often the flu pandemic of 1918 which is said to have killed 18 million worldwide, is cited as an example of what "might" lie in store for us.

WND inquiry prompts school to yank image which completely 'erased' rifle

On the heels of USA Today's doctored photograph of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice this week, a WorldNetDaily inquiry into an altered photo of a gun-toting Ward Churchill has prompted a Seattle-area college to remove the image from its website.

Drug Policy Alliance: Action Alert: Tell Congress to Stop War on Hurricane Victims

Drug Policy Alliance (DC)

October 27, 2005

Nearly three million people have been displaced from their homes because of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Many have lost everything.

Yet federal laws prohibit these victims from receiving welfare, food stamps, public housing, student loans and other benefits if they have a drug law conviction. People who have lost everything should not be denied public assistance just because they were convicted of a drug offense sometime in their past.

Irrationally Speaking of Homeschooling

Have you ever read something so irrational that you just kept shaking your head and couldn't seem to stop? My head is still shaking from disbelief at the incredible ignorance of some people.

Homeschooling is nothing new, it has been around as long as people have populated the planet. The very idea that a public school with all it's bells and whistles, stop watches, administrators and the tidal wave of strangers influencing our children, is better for children than being taught by good 'ole mom and pop is sheer nonsense.

The Avian Flu Fright is Politically Timed

If avian flu becomes more than a threatened pandemic, it will have done so by political and economic design.

This thesis is supported by current massive media misrepresentations, profiteering on risky and valueless vaccines, gross neglect of data evidencing earlier similar man-made plaques including SARS, West Nile Virus, AIDS and more; continuance of genetic studies breeding more mutant flu viruses likely to outbreak, inside trading scandals involving pandemic savvy White House and drug industry officials, curious immunity of these pharmaceutical entities over the past century to law enforcement and mainstream media scrutiny, and published official depopulation objectives.

Roche makes a killing

The Observer (UK)

October 25, 2005

As panic spreads over avian flu, the Swiss pharmaceutical giant is accused of putting profits before people.

For the obsessively guarded, conservatively dressed and unflamboyant Oeri, Hoffman and Sacher families, avian flu could be good news. Over the next two years, the heirs of Fritz Hoffman, founders of Roche, one of the world's most powerful pharmaceutical companies, and who already rank as among the world's richest families, could see their combined £10 billion fortune reach giddy heights.

Crime has apparently become an equal-opportunity activity, according to a report from the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics.

The report, released Sunday to the Associated Press, says that women are now 7 percent of the inmate population in state and federal prisons. More telling, women now account for one in every four arrests.
