I think this just shows what many have been saying for years. The Nobel peace price is a bunch of baloney. I think people winning the prize in Chemistry (structure of the ribosome), Medicine (how chromosomes protect their ends) and Physics (optic fibers and digital imaging) are all well deserved. Also notice that the prizes for the latter three categories was awarded for achievements several decades old (which is the proper way of checking the “greatness” of it) while the peace prize was (and usually is) given for recent achievements (which is wrong). Obama was nominated just recently which is why many see it as an “investment for the future”, perhaps to help drive the big world government down our throats one last time.

All this has nothing to do with “trying to reach out to citizens” and “inform them about EU policies” – which is what the EU claims its multi-million Communications Policy is about – and everything to do with trying to control its image and limit dissenting voices.

The EU has even talked about moving to control the EU’s image on the internet. Referring to the blogosphere, the commission has lamented the fact that: “Because of the many different sources of No campaigners on the internet, classic rebuttals are made impossible.”

The European Parliament’s Culture Committee subsequently voted for a report which proposed that the EU should regulate blogs – a proposal which was eventually watered down, but nonetheless indicates a very worrying trend.

All this is bad news for democracy. It is also an unacceptable use of public money – the use of taxpayer funds for government advertising is often strictly regulated at the national level, for instance in the UK, where “information” must be clearly distinguished from “advertising.”

Why does all of this matter? It is more relevant than ever as we move into the next campaign for the Irish referendum on the Lisbon treaty.

Much scorn is poured on those groups which privately fund themselves to fight against the enormous EU propaganda machine and try to offer alternatives to “ever closer union.” But rarely does anybody question the EU’s huge Yes budget, which provides a continuous feed into the population and the media, not only at times of a referendum, but constantly and permanently.

With so much public money at their disposal, the EU institutions are able to propel their own vision of the future of Europe, and also begin to create a monopoly over what should be regarded as the “facts.” The institutions claim to want a wider debate on Europe, but by trying to suppress those who do not support their vision, they are stifling debate.

Next time you see a poster or a website championing EU integration – the idea that more and more decisions should be made at the European level – ask yourself: should I really be paying for this?

As a precondition to buy seeds, either to plant for crops or to use in research study, Monsanto and the gene giant companies must first sign an End User Agreement with the company. For the past decade, the period when the greatest proliferation of GMO seeds in agriculture has taken place, Monsanto, Pioneer (DuPont) and Syngenta require anyone buying their GMO seeds to sign an agreement that explicitly forbids that the seeds be used for any independent research. Scientists are prohibited from testing a seed to explore under what conditions it flourishes or even fails. They cannot compare any characteristics of the GMO seed with any other GMO or non-GMO seeds from another company. Most alarming, they are prohibited from examining whether the genetically modified crops lead to unintended side-effects either in the environment or in animals or humans.

The World Health Organisation has raised concerns about the fast-track production of the swine flu vaccine in Europe, where the treatment is due to be made available at least two months earlier than in the US. Britain is expected to be the first country in Europe to provide the vaccine, with the first of 132 million ordered doses due to be administered next month.

Some believe the vaccines will be safe once they rush through the procedures, but I wonder, will that be enough?

Professor Steve Field, chairman of the Royal College of GPs, added: “I’m sure the vaccine programme won’t be allowed to commence until adequate safety checks have been carried out.”

Some have expressed doubt, and rightfully so:

But some US officials believe the European approach is the best option. “The consequences of not having a vaccine if this virus gets worse are very high,” said Leonard Marcus, a public health expert at Harvard University. “If [regulatory authorities] took all the time that was necessary to make sure there are no side effects, ironically, in the effort to save a few lives, many lives could be lost.”

If the vaccines will be safe, why have the manufacturers sought legal immunity against any damages?

The US Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, has just signed a decree granting vaccine makers total legal immunity from any lawsuits that result from any new “Swine Flu” vaccine. Moreover, the $7 billion US Government fast-track program to rush vaccines onto the market in time for the Autumn flu season is being done without even normal safety testing. Is there another agenda at work in the official WHO hysteria campaign to declare so-called H1N1 virus—which has yet to be rigorously scientifically isolated, characterized and photographed with an electron microscope—the scientifically accepted procedure—a global “pandemic” threat?

Of course, this is assuming the swine flu is Cappo di banda of flus, but there is no convicing evidence so far, that that is the case. More people die of “regular” flu (various types of influenza) each year. It’s estimated that around 30.000 people in US alone and almost 500.000 people die because of influenza yearly. So far, the swine flu took a heavy toll on respiratory patients, people with compromised immune systems and obese people.

What this actually means in Queen’s Vulgar? Imagine a scenario, that “health officials” are recommending you to take a swine flu shot (or even force you to do it, or to your children). Then, because of the vaccine, you or your child develop some nasty symptoms. Think Chron’s disease or paralysis. You by some twist of faith and good luck manage to show that this was in fact done by the vaccine. You take your papers to court and they throw you out on the side walk, your non-insured teeth first, because the producers are legally immune to any lawsuits pertaining the vaccine and possible consequences. In the end, would you still take the shot or gave it to your offspring, even if you know there may be possible undesirable and/or fatal side effects and that was rushed through safety testing?

It happened before. Back in 1976, there was a Swine flu outbreak and a hefty sum of people got vaccinated.

The last time the US Government faced a new swine flu virus was in 1976. Thousands filed claims contending they suffered side effects from the shots. This time, the government has taken steps to prevent any possible legal remedy should thousands of US citizens suffer severe complications as a result of being given untested vaccines.

Doesn’t make you feel much batter knowing that some companies and politicians and other “officials” are working hard to satisfy your needs?
