POPSRespondents question H1N1 vaccine: apathy, fear or common sense?
In the case of the H1N1 vaccine, the adjuvants used are AS03 & MF59, both containing squalene. Squalene is a naturally occurring substance present in human and animal brain tissue. By it’s self, squalene is a “safe” substance, but in it’s role as an adjuvant it can trigger an autoimmune response, where by the body actually attacks itself. In individuals with weakened immune systems this can have devastating consequences.The use of squalene in an adjuvant vaccine in the 1990’s has been linked to Gulf War syndrome and other diseases. Further, concerns are raised by the presence of Thiomersal, a preservative used in the vaccine to prolong shelf life. Thiomersal contains 47-58% mercury which many believe maybe linked to autism and a host of other neurological disorders. Although it has been suggested that there is no definitive scientific link to the onset of autism it has become a very controversial issue and has raised significant concern.

POPSDump the Incumbents 4. It is partisanship over constituents-Each party's focus is on defeating and sabotaging each other. 5. Both parties love voter apathy and take the necessary steps to ensure a low voter turnout. 6. They have created an incumbency protection racket and called it campaign finance reform. 7. They have created a system where the truth is so hidden that they have to hire a staff that is skilled at cover ups, evasion, spin, lies, disinformation, half-truths, feigned ignorance, sudden memory loss, manipulation of facts, distortions, controlled polling, double standards, and blame-shifting.

POPSWhat happens when schools care The picture about school food is not so dire. Watch how healthy teens look like, how they talk. Sure a diet influence behavior, and judgment, and common sense. Do we need more "research" to prove this? Kids cannot pay with their health for our ignorance and apathy.

POPSThe school lunch scam Reform in food industry is no less important than reform in healthcare. That's where most diseases grow. Culture of sickness, craziness, violence and apathy has to be replaced by culture of good taste, healthy and delicious natural food. We, and children especially, do damaging ourselves consuming synthetic dishes with countless, meaningless at least, and in fact poisonous, artificial ingredients in mercilessly processed products.

POPSMark Steyn: The Suffocating Embrace of Nanny Government
In the old days, you'd go to your doctor (or, indeed, believe it or not, have him come to you), he'd patch you up, and you'd write him a check. That's the way it was in most of the developed world within living memory . . . The British National Health Service is the biggest employer not just in the United Kingdom but in the whole of Europe. Care to estimate the size and budget of a U.S. health bureaucracy? According to the U.N. figures, life expectancy in the United States is 78 years; in the United Kingdom, it's 79 " yay, go socialized health care! On the other hand, in Albania, where the entire population chain-smokes, and the health care system involves swimming to Italy, life expectancy is still 71 years " or about where America was a generation or so back. Once you get childhood mortality under control and observe basic hygiene and lifestyle precautions, the health "system" is relatively marginal. One notes that, even in Somalia, which still has high childhood mortality . .

POPSFlu not the biggest danger? The word 'evil' is much overused and I don't say it lightly; but we are dealing with evil in the sense that the word is the reverse of 'live'. Those behind the conspiracy to cull the human population and turn the rest into little more than computer terminals are anti-life. They have no respect for it and no empathy with those who suffer the consequences of their actions, no matter how appalling. I have been warning of what was coming for nearly 20 years and it is not 'coming' any more - it's here. No more excuses from anyone, please. We have to deal with it. We have to draw a line in the sand and say no more.

POPSWhat Is Love? I often struggle with loving those who aren't lovable; at least by my definition. Conventional wisdom would say why try? That kind of thinking has it's place. But there is another kind of thinking. "For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have?" Good question. One that deserves some merit.

POPSRape as a Weapon of War in Congo I think it is safe to say that those who participate in this atrocity have devolved into something less than human. How much longer can the rest of the world sit back on its pampered laurels and allow this atrocity to continue? How much longer can we stomach the animalistic enslavement of women by saying it is their country therefore it is none of our business? The U.S. has ignored this tenet many times when it is to their benefit. But unfortunately, the U.S. weighs the safety of helpless victims against how resource-rich their nation is. For surely if the Congo had oil reserves coveted by the U.S. we would be occupying them, and saving at least a majority of these women from their hell, instead of occupying Iraq. Rape represents a grave lack of respect for human life and dignity. To use it as a tool of war is both a war crime and a crime against humanity. To allow it to continue lessens the value of our humanity.

POPS17 Arrested in West Virginia Protesting Mountaintop Mining
Protesters left a banner on top of 7 billion gallons of toxic waste and were fined for littering. The irony of this is over the top. We think nothing of flipping a switch to light our homes, to turn on a computer, or a TV, or keep food in a refrigerator. We pay our electrical bill and think nothing of it. These people are paying for our convenience with more than money. They live downstream from a dam holding back billions of gallons of toxic sludge. The fear they live with day and night worrying when that dam will break must be overwhelming. I wonder, if we were to trade places with these people and let them flip an electrical switch for the sake of convenience, what they would think of us protesting against what coal companies are doing to our surroundings, to our homes, to our sanity. Remember, all their protests are falling on deaf ears at every level of government. Their representatives turn their backs on them and have them arrested for exercising their right to prote

POPSUS Spy Flies to gain new eyes Techno geeks continue to make it easier to spy on and congratulate themselves for making spy tools smaller and more efficient. Politicians enable warrantless wiretapping to be more legally acceptable. They feign outrage but don’t punish those who authorized and instigated spying on us. The NSA spy-fest during the Bush administration was met with outrage by the press (for a very sort time) but nothing has come of it. Are they still spying on us? The police state grows because, let’s face it, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of resistance. Local police kick and beat suspects, boldly in front of cameras, and they are cleared of any wrong doing, which just emboldens them even further. Bloggers and citizen reporters are the only real sources of what is actually happening to us because the MSM is so concerned with keeping their ad income that true investigative reporting is all but dead. If somehow the internet gets shutdown, we will truly be in the dark.

POPSWhy Blackpool South MP must go.
It has been twelve years since the Labour brigade slipped this professional politician under the toilet door and into Blackpool. The electorate knew nothing of this researcher from Brighton, but the demographic and the complete emancipation of the Blackpool South electorate ought to have given some hint. Conservatism in Blackpool was a shambles and has not progressed an inch – centimetre to the Poles – in the intervening years. With the changing demographics, the public apathy, the frustration of generation after generation of political figurehead achieving absolutely nothing for a declining super town, it was with little wonder that the surge in immigrants with their socialist heritage brought with it this fresh faced figure to suit all needs (sic). In those heady days of New Labour the voters were lured into the fantasy of a new political era under that gleaming new god, Tony Blair and the hubris of an untested deity. History is a great teacher and we now all know what a connivi

POPS A True Martyr Like the most worthy saint, Jan Palach lived a simple life. As a boy, his father nurtured in him a keen love of history, which he went on to study at Prague's Charles University. He was known as a quiet student, strong-willed, bookish, rather serious. The turning point in Palach's life was the August 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact forces to suppress the political and cultural liberalization known as the Prague Spring. The invasion had a radicalizing impact on Palach. What he found hardest to bear was not the occupation and attack on freedom itself, but the reaction of his countrymen. In the months following the invasion, the raw passion of opposition and defiance became resignation, accommodation and lethargy. Alexander Dubcek, the Czechoslovak leader who was instrumental in the reform movement's "socialism with a human face," signed the Moscow Protocols, which were ultimately an expression of loyalty to the Soviet Union.
