Is swine flu really that dangerous? Are vaccinations really helpful, or just another source of revenue for drug companies? People on the streets of New York have mixed feelings on the issue.
RT’s “The Resident”, Lori Harfenist, asked them if they want to get vaccinated and why.

THE GROWING MENACE OF A POLICE STATE
Yes, indeed, our public nationwide loves responsible and brave police officers, of whom serve well and are dedicated towards their duties as servants of the people. This is all good and well.
All cities Across America are facing a growing dilemma, as to various personalities entering the law enforcement industry. Like any profession, bad apples will appear. This is nothing new in national police work. It just so seems that when FEMA and SWAT opened their doors that bullies began to wear badges.
Man’s brutality can be harnessed so much under civil laws. Yet, pinning a badge upon a psychoneurologically disturbed personality is questionable. Further, having disordered minds behind a cam to literally rip off the public is nothing but legalized banditry. When some work of mechanical technology snatches money from homo sapiens with a flick of a switch, then it will be more worthy to return to the cave-man era, and to club thy neighbor as usual, rather than railroading him with an unseen beam. Why not put cash registers in all road-side speed traps, police cars, and save the labor of switching on a cam.
Naturally, civil jobs in police activities are unproductive and do not create any wealth. This, of course, applies to city and county managers who turn their heads, in pulling money into their coffers, Public servants that fit into the subject in question, including SWAT and FEMA, should seek membership into the national IWW–i won’t work union, or join the military.
Some people don't get the word. 25 December, 2009, 12:17, Eve Guevara-Sansom wrote > For me the biggest stereotyping coup on Russian 'image' was achieved on Rasputin – his name was used to evoke contempt and laughter throughout the World as 'Mad Monk' – in reality he was far from that; so that is tragic on my terms I am part Russian and what spurred me forward in my own life – growing up in a very dubious 'Great' Britain – was the deeply held belief that in Russian Stock we find the greatest insight-logic and creativity. I knew that from my Grand Mother and all that she stood for as a Great Woman – as a Character – who knew her own Mind. She, like all Great Men – was her own Woman. It is, therefore, sickening to see the Mail-Order Bride clones and blustering-Boris-back-slapping Yeltsin clones gaining so much ground in media/humour portayals of 'what a Russian is' …. we must challenge that at every twist and turn of attempts to undermine a National Identity by psychological humiliation. That is what it really is ….. Long Live Rasputin ! As a book collector for years, Rasputin was discovered. The more was read of this individual was his individual genius so recognized. From searching from every source of work, this man gradually became one my alter egos. He understood political whoredom so well that top Russian traitors were kept in line. Gradually, this individual stood out as one of the world's greatest individuals, in his manner of dealing with rogues and, low-life scoundrels of whom had been a menace to the state
IWW does seem the way to go: Globalization has turned the workers of one country against the workers of others biding on who will take the lowest wage.
If workers around the world organized then a fair wage could be demanded world wide and there would be no place to run for the corporate criminals who hire terrorists to murder organizers (you know the ones).
The science behind vaccines is totally valid; but the corporate thugs that make them use a mercury-containing compounds (Ethyl(2-mercaptobenzoato -(2-)-O,S) mercurate(1-) sodium)to preserve them longer to slightly reduce costs at the expense of all our health. In spite of all the peer-reviewed science showing mercury is bad the FDA is an accomplice to these crimes.
