_Former head of CDC lands lucrative job as president of Merck vaccine

division (opinion)_

(http://www.naturalnews.com/027789_Dr_Julie_Gerberding_Merck.html)

How convenient. That means the former head of the CDC was very likely

cultivating a relationship with Merck all these years, and now comes the big

payoff: Heading up a $5 billion division that sells cervical cancer vaccines

(like Gardasil), chickenpox vaccines and of course H1N1 swine flu vaccines,

too.

You might even say that the CDC already functions as the marketing division

of the pharmaceutical industry. It was the CDC that pushed so hard for

swine flu vaccines, even amid the obvious realization that swine flu was no

more dangerous than seasonal flu. To this day, the CDC still hasn't bothered

to recommend vitamin D for the prevention of either seasonal flu or swine

flu. It remains heavily invested in the lucrative vaccine approach -- an

approach that just happens to financially benefit the very corporations that

are hiring ex-CDC employees like Dr. Gerberding.

_Pentagon's Role in Global Catastrophe: Add Climate Havoc to War Crimes_

(http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va & aid=16609)

By every measure, the Pentagon is the largest institutional user of

petroleum products and energy in general. Yet the Pentagon has a blanket

exemption in all international climate agreements.

 

 

The Pentagon wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; its secret operations in

Pakistan; its equipment on more than 1,000 U.S. bases around the world; its

6,000

facilities in the U.S.; all NATO operations; its aircraft carriers, jet

aircraft, weapons testing, training and sales will not be counted against

U.S. greenhouse gas limits or included in any count.

 

Even according to rankings in the 2006 CIA World Factbook, only 35

countries (out of 210 in the world) consume more oil per day than the Pentagon.

 

Besides emitting carbon dioxide, U.S. military operations release other

highly toxic and radioactive materials into the air, water and soil.

 

 

The best way to dramatically clean up the environment is to shut down the

Pentagon.

_Sarah Palin wins: 'Death panels' declared 'Lie of the Year' | McClatchy_

(http://www.mcclatchydc.com/251/story/81151.html)

 

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's claim about so-called " death panels " has

landed her on the political equivalent of Santa's naughty list: PolitiFact's

" Lie of the Year. "

 

Palin earned the dubious honor last week for her Aug. 7 assertion on

Facebook that people would face " death panels " under the health care overhaul

bill as proposed by the House of Representatives this summer.
