Drug's are bad mmmm'kay? But not the ones you're used to demonizing. I know first had being on oxycodine something or another when I shattered my wrist that it was a horrible experience. And that was only 2 weeks.

How Properly Prescribed Prescription Drugs Ruined a Famous Rock Super Star
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/05/18/how-properly-prescribed-prescription-drugs-ruined-a-famous-rock-super-star.aspx
In the article linked below, Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks discusses the biggest mistake she says she ever made -- giving in to her friends and going to see a psychiatrist. He put her on the drug Klonopin, and the next eight years of her life were destroyed.
According to Nicks, if she didn't take it, her hands started to shake. She gained weight and felt as if she had a neurological disease.
As reported in the Daily Beast, Nicks said:
"Finally, in 1993, I'd had enough. I said, 'Take me to a hospital.' I went in for 47 days, and it made Betty Ford look like a cakewalk. My hair turned gray and my skin molted. I could hardly walk. You can detox off heroin in 12 days. Coke is just a mental detox. But tranquilizers -- they are dangerous. I was terrified to leave, and I came away knowing that that would never happen to me again."

Sprott on Gold vs. Silver after the Selloff
Sprott on Gold vs. Silver after the Selloff
http://www.resourceinvestor.com/News/2011/5/Pages/Sprott-on-Gold-vs-Silver-after-the-Selloff.aspx
Last week’s monumental silver selloff presents a sterling opportunity, according to Eric Sprott, who characterized gold, by comparison, as the investment of the last decade – rather than the one we’re in.
“There are a lot of great things about silver going down,” Sprott said in a keynote presentation at the Hard Assets Investment Conference Monday. “We’re starting up a (new) silver fund tomorrow – available only in Canada. A week ago we could have bought 1 million oz. of silver and now we’ll be able to buy 1.3 million (oz.) for the same money,” he added.
Sprott, who is CEO of Sprott Asset Management LP, has long been a proponent of silver. But his fund took a significant hit when the metal tumbled on May 2, falling $6/oz. in 13 minutes at one point that day. It was the worst week in at least 30 years for silver bulls.
“Have I seen this before? Yes, I have,” Sprott said, adding that it happened the day after a holiday on low volume “in the thinnest market you could possibly find.” Without elaborating, he briefly suggested that manipulation may have been a factor.
Sprott’s fund recently held as much as 41.8 million oz. of silver, with only two major ETFs and the Central Fund of Canada being larger holders, according to information in his presentation.
Gold, on the other hand, is often erroneously described as a safe haven, Sprott suggested. People think that governments, because they buy and hold the metal, will back it up, he said but asked: “Who trusts the government?”
Sprott also questioned the popular conception that gold has become scarce. Most of the gold ever produced is currently above ground and still available in some form, while silver tends to be consumed rather than accumulating as a store of wealth. Anyone who wants to buy gold can get it today, he noted, adding: “There’s so much more gold above ground than there is silver.”
Some market observers point to the smaller volume in silver investment compared with that of gold, but Sprott countered that people who buy bullion coins spend as much on silver as on gold coins.
The gold price nevertheless will go to $2,000/oz., Sprott said. (His estimate, in fact, was on the low end of forecasts by other speakers at the conference.) And as gold goes higher, silver will follow, he added.
Historically, silver has always traded at a 16:1 ratio to gold. But there is much greater availability of gold to silver (above ground) at any given point – as much as 80 times more, Sprott said. If gold were to go to $3,000-5,000/oz., as some are projecting, we could see silver at $250/oz., he suggested.
Still, Sprott said, he had gauged institutional interest in buying silver and found that hardly any exists. But this won’t always be the case, he indicated.
“Silver will be a currency, just as it always has been – just as much as gold,” Sprott insisted, adding: “There will be silver shortage. … It is logical to suppose that silver will go higher.”
“They talk about not speculating in silver. … but who’s taking more risk, the guy buying or the guy selling? Sprott asked, noting that silver had already begun to rebound this week.

Google Censorship?
Sorry for the lack of blog posts and deleted content.
Google, who runs blogspot.com, went into technical difficulties last night and has since deleted at least the last 7 of my blog posts if not others. Hopefully they add them back, otherwise I'll try too. May be a couple days.

Government Paid Millions to Vaccine-Injured Kids

Government Paid Millions to Vaccine-Injured Kids
A group of parents are saying the Federal government has paid off multi-million dollar settlements for dozens of families whose kids suffered brain damage after receiving children vaccines. As you know the Federal government has denied any connection between autism and vaccines, does this seem like a cover up? One parent speaks out on the autism settlement. Dr. Coomer has her medical opinion on the subject.

World’s top commercial weed killer linked to infertility: scientist
http://www.lifesitenews.com/?/news/worlds-top-commercial-weed-killer-linked-to-infertility-scientist
May 9, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The world’s top herbicide for decades has come under criticism after evidence surfaced suggesting that the chemical may be linked to infertility and miscarriage in animals, raising serious concerns about the possible effect on human consumers.
Glyphosate is the weed-killing ingredient introduced over 30 years ago by the multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation Monsanto under the brand name Roundup. Monsanto also produces “Roundup Ready” corn, soybeans and cotton genetically engineered to withstand large doses of Roundup that would be deadly to normal plants.
But Dr. Don Huber, professor emeritus at Purdue University and a well-known plant pathologist, wrote to both American and European officials earlier this year to express his concern over a newly-discovered, extremely small organism that has appeared in higher concentrations in conjunction with Roundup and Roundup Ready crops.
The “electron microscopic pathogen,” Huber wrote in a Jan 16 letter to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack, “appears to significantly impact the health of plants, animals, and probably human beings,” noting that preliminary experiments have been able to reproduce the pathogen’s effect of causing miscarriages.

Psychopharmaceutical industry seeks world of dispassionate sheeple

Psychopharmaceutical industry seeks world of dispassionate sheeple
http://thewatchers.adorraeli.com/2011/05/10/psychopharmaceutical-industry-seeks-world-of-dispassionate-sheeple-sheep-people/
People who obediently follow the herd, never markedly sad, angry or excited; children who play quietly and never annoy or talk out of turn – this is the object of the psychiatric/pharmaceutical industries. And when anyone steps out of line, the answer is simple: stamp them “abnormal” and give them a pill.
Human sorrow could soon be more easily diagnosed and medicated as a mental disorder. Psychiatrists creating the next edition of the psychiatric bible – the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM-5, due out in 2013) – are recommending to eliminate the time clause for major depressive disorder. So instead of grieving for two months to qualify, if you mourn the loss of a loved one for only two weeks doctors could label you mentally ill and prescribe a drug.
The first DSM published in 1952 was a 132-page volume listing 128 mental disorders. With nearly 900 pages, the current edition (DSM-IV, published in 1994) lists 357 disorders – an over 300% increase. Since its release, DSM-IV has generated a 256% increase in psychiatric drug sales and billions of dollars in government funding.
Drug companies are notorious for downplaying disabling effects of psychotropic drugs. Additionally, medical journalist and Pulitzer Prize nominee Robert Whitaker reports that many psychiatric drug users acquire a more severe form of mental illness than they started with. For instance, antidepressant users tend to spiral down into long-term depression – yielding even greater profit for psychiatrists and drugmakers.
