Stock Up on Incandescent Light Bulbs: In Fact, Buy a Lifetime Supply of Them!

http://www.infowars.com/stock-up-on-incandescent-light-bulbs-in-fact-buy-a-lifetime-supply-of-them/

The new Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs are a perfect example of this kind of subterfuge. While claiming these new CFL bulbs will reduce carbon emissions,”our” Congress passed legislation stating these new light bulbs must completely replace our everyday incandescent light bulbs by 2014, without telling us of the serious dangers to health and environment, that these mandated bulbs pose.

Most of these new CFLs will make people sick, by emitting radio frequency radiation that contributes to dirty electricity, that can cause migraines, dizziness, nausea, confusion, fatigue, skin irritations, and eye strain.

But far more importantly, CFLs are loaded with deadly mercury, one of the most toxic elements on Earth. In fact, all CFL bulbs contain – at least – four to five milligrams of mercury, about 200 times the amount of mercury in a flu vaccine shot. There is enough mercury in each CFL bulb to contaminate 6,000 gallons of clean water. To break one of these CFL bulbs is to risk ruining the health of one’s entire family, or office staff, with enough released atmospheric mercury to best require the expensive, professional services of a Haz/Mat Removal Team.

Believe not the”clean-up” methods for broken CFL bulbs offered by those in the mainstream media, which tell us to open a window, then leave the area of the broken bulb for 15 minutes; then return with duct tape to pick-up the broken glass.

Then what is one to do? Put the broken glass and duct tape into a glass jar and screw on a tight lid.

What is one to do with the glass jar? Take it to a special toxic dump.

Most toxicologists, chemists, biologists, etc, recommend NO exposure to Hg(bad), it's inorganic salts(really bad), or organic mercuric substances(the absolute worst). There's no safe level of mercury. A little causes chronic illness, and makes people stupid. A lot outright kills you. It's like, suddenly, lead based paint becomes a "green" technology, and is safe again. And the biggest problem isn't broken bulbs. It's millions of broken bulbs in landfills leaching their poison into the groundwater. It's the dust from such bulbs, after being broke in the backs of trucks, floating around in the air, ready for inhalation. PCBs were said to be safe too, until all of a sudden, OH SHIT THIS STUFF IS NASTY.

PRINCETON, NJ -- Gallup's annual update on Americans' attitudes toward the environment shows a public that over the last two years has become less worried about the threat of global warming, less convinced that its effects are already happening, and more likely to believe that scientists themselves are uncertain about its occurrence. In response to one key question, 48% of Americans now believe that the seriousness of global warming is generally exaggerated, up from 41% in 2009 and 31% in 1997, when Gallup first asked the question.



These results are based on the annual Gallup Social Series Environment poll, conducted March 4-7 of this year. The survey results show that the reversal in Americans' concerns about global warming that began last year has continued in 2010 -- in some cases reverting to the levels recorded when Gallup began tracking global warming measures more than a decade ago.

For example, the percentage of Americans who now say reports of global warming are generally exaggerated is by a significant margin the highest such reading in the 13-year history of asking the question. In 1997, 31% said global warming's effects had been exaggerated; last year, 41% said the same, and this year the number is 48%.

Fewer Americans Think Effects of Global Warming Are Occurring

"In a sharp turnaround from what Gallup found as recently as three years ago, Americans are now almost evenly split in their views of the cause of increases in the Earth's temperature over the last century."
Many global warming activists have used film and photos of melting ice caps and glaciers, and the expanding reach of deserts, to drive home their point that global warming is already having alarming effects on the earth. While these efforts may have borne fruit over much of the 2000s, during the last two years, Americans' convictions about global warming's effects have waned.

A majority of Americans still agree that global warming is real, as 53% say the effects of the problem have already begun or will do so in a few years. That percentage is dwindling, however. The average American is now less convinced than at any time since 1997

A majority of Americans say the United States is less respected in the world than two years ago and believe President Obama and other Democrats fall short of Republicans on the issue of national security, according to a poll by two left-leaning groups.

The Democracy Corps-Third Way survey released Monday finds that by a 10-point margin — 51 percent to 41 percent — Americans think the standing of the United States has dropped during the first 13 months of Mr. Obama's presidency.

"This is surprising, given the global acclaim — and Nobel peace prize — that flowed to the new president after he took office," the pollsters said.

The Democratic Party also plummeted on national security. A May survey by the pollsters found that the public saw the Democratic and Republican parties as equally able to handle national security (41 percent trusted Democrats more and 43 percent trusted Republicans more). On conducting the war on terrorism, the two parties were tied at 41 percent.

But the latest poll shows a massive gap, with Democrats trailing by 17 points, 33 percent to 50 percent, on which party likely voters think would do a better job on national security.

"The erosion since May is especially strong among women, and among independents, who now favor Republicans on this question by a 56 to 20 percent margin," the pollsters said in their findings.

More surprising was the huge gap on "right-track, wrong-track." Just 31 percent of those polled feel the country is on the right track; a whopping 62 percent say the United States is on the wrong track.

"We would not want the election to be held today, with this poll," said Democracy Corps' chief pollster Stan Greenberg. "If the election were held today, this would be a 'change' election."

A Pennsylvania woman has been indicted for conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and kill a person in a foreign country, the Justice Department announced Tuesday.
Colleen LaRose, known as "Jihad Jane" and "Fatima LaRose," has also been charged with making false statements to a government official and attempted identity theft.
She was arrested in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on October 15, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office said. No arraignment date has been set, the official said.
LaRose is being held at the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
LaRose and five unindicted co-conspirators recruited men on the Internet "to wage violent jihad in South Asia and Europe, and recruited women on the Internet who had passports and the ability to travel to and around Europe in support of violent jihad," according to a Justice Department statement.
Irish police arrest 7 on murder plot charges
If convicted, LaRose faces a possible life prison sentence and a $1 million fine, the statement said.
The conspiracy began in June 2008, when LaRose posted a comment on YouTube under the username JihadJane saying she is "desperate to do something somehow to help" Muslims, according to the indictment unsealed Tuesday.
From December 2008 to October 2009, LaRose engaged in electronic communication with the five co-conspirators about their shared desires to wage jihad and become martyrs, according to the indictment.

LaRose and the co-conspirators, according to the statement, used the Internet to establish relationships with each another and develop plans "which included martyring themselves, soliciting funds for terrorists, soliciting passports and avoiding travel restrictions (through the collection of passports and through marriage) in order to wage violent jihad."
According to a U.S. government official familiar with the case, LaRose was successful in recruiting some people to join the cause. She also was able to raise money, the official said, adding that she was in contact with committed jihadists in South Asia, Western Europe and Eastern Europe. The official de

Christianity as a whole didn't do anything violent on a large scale for a very, very long time. Islam was violent in the beginning and it's violent now. Islamic values are incompatible with democracy and individualism, and anyone who defends islam defends a religion and a political system that demands nothing but obedience and submission. The core values of Islam are a jumble of the most retarded caveman bullshit that the world hasn't seen since the fall of the Aztec empire. We do not need islam, and we should be highly critical of it. There is no room for compromise. Tolerance must go both ways. In islam you actually have a strategy of lying low and being meek until you gather enough manpower to dictate others. Think of as institutionalised hypocrisy. We can't gain anything by being nice with them. We can only lose.

I'm posting this because it so strongly echos how I feel and what I've been saying on /n/ and /newsfront/ for a while - that the ADL cries wolf so often that when the real anti-Semites rear their heads no one will be listening to them any more.

ADL's Foxman Crying Wolf?
Brad Hirschfield

Rabbi, Writer, and Expert in Public Life
Posted: March 2, 2010 02:21 PM

According to a Twitter feed from the Jewish Council on Public Affairs' national meeting in Dallas, ADL head Abe Foxman lashed out at Andrew Sullivan, calling him a good example of an educated anti-Semite. While neither I nor anyone else has been able to confirm the veracity of the tweet that carried the quote, nobody will deny its accuracy, either. That's bad.

Andrew Sullivan is many things, and some of his recent analysis of the Middle East conflict has been woefully inadequate. It is his recent musings about the conflict and Israel's role in it that appear to have provoked the attack by Mr. Foxman.

Lately, Sullivan finds it easier to substitute easy moral equivalence for the more complex reality in which there is blame enough to go around, without claiming that all bad acts are equally bad. But be that as it may, bad analysis does not an anti-Semite make, especially since the latter is a claim about a person's beliefs, and inner beliefs cannot be measured by a few comments, no matter how objectionable Mr. Foxman or anybody else finds them.

But a tiff between Foxman and Sullivan is not the real story here. In truth, Sullivan seems to love these dust ups -- they are simply grist for his ever-churning word mill. If anything, he should send Foxman a thank-you note. And the fact that Foxman labels Sullivan a Jew-hater is hardly surprising. It's simply one more case of the old adage that when all you have is a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail.

(NEW YORK – C-FAM) The World Association of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides hosted a no-adults-welcome panel at the United Nations this week where Planned Parenthood was allowed to distribute a brochure entitled “Healthy, Happy and Hot.” The event was part of the annual United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) which concludes this week.

The brochure, aimed at young people living with HIV, contains explicit and graphic details on sex, as well as the promotion of casual sex in many forms. The brochure claims, “Many people think sex is just about vaginal or anal intercourse… But, there are lots of different ways to have sex and lots of different types of sex. There is no right or wrong way to have sex. Just have fun, explore and be yourself!” The brochure goes on to encourage young people to “Improve your sex life by getting to know your own body. Play with yourself! Masturbation is a great way to find out more about your body and what you find sexually stimulating. Mix things up by using different kinds of touch from very soft to hard. Talk about or act out your fantasies. Talk dirty to them.”

The brochure also tells students that national laws requiring HIV-positive people to reveal their status to their partner(s) “violate the rights of people living with HIV” and calls for advocacy to “change laws that violate your rights.” It explains, “There are many reasons that people do not share their HIV status. … They may worry that people will find out something else they have kept secret, like they are using injecting drugs, having sex outside of a marriage or having sex with people of the same gender.”

The Girl Scouts, along with the YMCA have been co-moderating a young women’s caucus that included an “Intergenerational Conversation” side event on “universal access” and “reproductive health.” One recent Girl Scout project “aims at securing the right of women, men and adolescents aged between ten and twenty-five, to better reproductive and sexual health.”

They want it one side or the other. Self-destructive policies for society are rule of the day. We can't be civil about abortion, like a society. NOOOO. It's either loose restrictions, or TOTAL BAN. Same with sex ed, healthcare, war, taxes, guns, and everything else. Abortion isn't meant as birth control. Never has been. The original Hippocratic Oath clearly states that physicians weren't to abort. Now, there's a time and place, where for the benefit of the mother, or society, abortions are an option, such as in a case of rape(a child born from a monstrous, horrible act), to save the life of the mother(the mother is undoubtedly worth saving over the fetus in almost all cases), or to abort a highly deformed, or retarded fetus(as that fetus could never have the potential to become a valuable contributor to society). But abortion for birth control is destructive for society. It takes out a possible future taxpayer, gives an easy(by comparison) way out of being a responsible parent, and gives an excuse for ignorance. There are so many ways to prevent conception in the first place. No excuses. And, to boot, telling people to hide their TERMINAL, CONTAGIOUS ILLNESS from their sex partners is, well, should be equal to telling someone to outright commit murder. That's absolutely despicable. And so is telling minors to be sex freaks with themselves. Masturbation is totally cool, and so is underage sex(as long as you listened in 5th grade about condoms!). Those are natural rites of passage for almost ALL animals, including humans. Kids shouldn't be thinking of ANAL though, or dirty sex talk. Those are things that come along with age, and experience. No one under 10 should be exposed to sex ed. There's no need, and the pupil would almost certainly not understand, or grasp the concepts. This is why the higher learning studies aren't touched on till middle school. tl;dr society needs to quit being so self destructive.

A guerilla knitter is gradually covering a New Jersey town in brightly coloured wool - and authorities have no clue who the rogue crafter is.
Pulling the wool: The guerilla knitter's work on display in West Cape May's Wilbraham Park

An unknown person or persons - dubbed 'The Midnight Knitter' by West Cape May residents - is covering tree branches and lamp poles with little sweaters under cover of darkness.
Mayor Pam Kaithern says police are looking into the knitted graffiti, which is technically against the law, as it is being done on public property without permission.
However, the mayor and many residents admit they're delighted by the woolly rainbow of colours that has popped up.

Local resident Susan Longacre admires one of The Midnight Knitter's knitted lamppost
'We don’t know who it is. Technically, they shouldn’t be doing it. The police are asking about it, but it’s fun and it’s a mystery,' Kaithern told local newspaper The Press of Atlantic City.
And she added that she's not even that keen for police to get to the bottom of the affair. 'Lets' keep it a mystery,' she said.
The knitter even has a website, a Facebook page and a MySpace, under the name of 'Salty Knits', where they describe themselves as 'Knitters that got sick of knitting kitten mittens.'
The Facebook page is filled with overwhelmingly positive comments about the undercover needlework. One said: 'Don't give in to requests for you all to identify yourselves . . . just keep doing what you're doing. Mystery is nice.'

Wrapped up warm: 'Salty Knits' strikes again
The rogue knitter is happy with the attention the woolwork has been getting - but is now concerned that the added attention may make it harder to carry out their work, saying on Facebook a few hours ago: 'Today has been so crazy. Now we have to figure out how to put new tags up without being spotted!'

These are the latest creations of extraordinary artist Tommy McHugh - a former builder and youth offender who can't stop painting since he emerged from a coma.

Mr McHugh, 60, nearly died after two blood vessels burst in the back of his head.

But after a week in a coma, he awoke with an uncontrollable urge to create and began writing poetry, painting the interior of his home, sculpting and carving.


Inspired to create: Mr McHugh pictured in the living room, next to a painting he describes as the inside of his brain
Doctors believe the sudden artistic drive is the result of damage to his brain.

Changes to his temporal lobes - responsible for understanding meaning - could be what has changed him from a jack of all trades handyman into a passionate artist.

He spends up to 18 hours every day decorating his walls, ceilings, and even the floor of his home. For a man who spent part of his youth in young offender institutions, it is a startling transformation.

Dr Alice Flaherty, a Harvard neurologist who studied Mr McHugh, described the brain haemorrhage that struck him down in 2001 as 'a crack that let the light in'.

A new government commercial currently running on one of Britain’s most popular radio stations is selling one thing – fear – by encouraging Londoners to report their neighbors as terrorists if they use cash, enjoy their privacy, or even close their curtains.

The advertisement, produced in conjunction with national radio outlet TallkSport, promotes the “anti-terrorist hotline” and encourages people to report individuals who don’t talk to their neighbors much, people who like to keep themselves to themselves, people who close their curtains, and people who don’t use credit cards.

“This may mean nothing, but together it could all add up to you having suspicions,” states the voice on the ad, before continuing “We all have a role to play in combating terrorism” (we’re all indentured stasi informants for the government).

“If you see anything suspicious, call the confidential anti-terrorist hotline….if you suspect it, report it,” concludes the commercial.

Listen to the ad below.

Mexico's Carlos Slim, the son of an immigrant shopkeeper who amassed a $53.5 billion fortune and bought a major stake in the New York Times, became the first person from a developing nation to be named the world's richest person.

Slim, a telecom magnate, edged out U.S. billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffet to earn the top spot on Forbes' list of the world's richest people — the first time a non-American has topped the list since 1994. The jump in position comes following a year in which Slim's cell phone holdings rebounded in value.

Forbes' employee Keren Blankfeld said that never before has someone from the developing world earned the top spot.

Arturo Elias Ayub — an executive at Slim's Telmex telephone company and the billionaire's son-in-law — expressed satisfaction that a Mexican businessman is now at the top of the list.

"The reaction is one of satisfaction, that this confidence in Mexico exists, and this confidence in our group's companies," said Elias Ayub, who frequently acts as Slim's spokesman.

But he said the 70-year-old magnate is not breaking out the champagne.

"This is a number brought out by a magazine that doesn't concern us, or worry us," said Elias Ayub, echoing Slim's 2007 comment about the top spot that had eluded him for years: a Spanish phrase — "me es impermeable" — that roughly translates as "I'm impervious to that."

Slim is known for wearing inexpensive suits and rarely using the computers his companies sell, preferring old-style paper notebooks. A baseball fan, his indulgences are largely limited to cigars and diet soft drinks.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is grateful that actor Sean Penn has defended him against his critics within the U.S. media. In an appearance on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" last week, Penn slammed Chavez critics who refer to the socialist leader as a dictator.

The Oscar-winning celebrity noted that Chavez has won repeated elections and suggested that media critics who call him a dictator should be jailed.

He says that "there should be a bar for which one goes to prison for these kinds of biases."

Penn has visited Chavez several times and frequently defends the president's leftist political policies.

Chavez welcomed Penn's comments Wednesday and thanked the actor for standing up to his detractors.

Josh Gerstein over at Politico sent Threat Level his piece underscoring once again President Barack Obama is not the civil-liberties knight in shining armor many were expecting.

Gerstein posts a televised interview of Obama and John Walsh of America’s Most Wanted. The nation’s chief executive extols the virtues of mandatory DNA testing of Americans upon arrest, even absent charges or a conviction. Obama said, “It’s the right thing to do” to “tighten the grip around folks” who commit crime.

When it comes to civil liberties, the Obama administration has come under fire for often mirroring his predecessor’s practices surrounding state secrets, the Patriot Act and domestic spying. There’s also Gitmo, Jay Bybee and John Yoo.

Now there’s DNA sampling. Obama told Walsh he supported the federal government, as well as the 18 states that have varying laws requiring compulsory DNA sampling of individuals upon an arrest for crimes ranging from misdemeanors to felonies. The data is lodged in state and federal databases, and has fostered as many as 200 arrests nationwide, Walsh said.

The American Civil Liberties Union claims DNA sampling is different from mandatory, upon-arrest fingerprinting that has been standard practice in the United States for decades.

A fingerprint, the group says, reveals nothing more than a person’s identity. But much can be learned from a DNA sample, which codes a person’s family ties, some health risks, and, according to some, can predict a propensity for violence.

The ACLU is suing California to block its voter-approved measure requiring saliva sampling of people picked up on felony charges. Authorities in the Golden State are allowed to conduct so-called “familial searching” — when a genetic sample does not directly match another, authorities start investigating people with closely matched DNA in hopes of finding leads to the perpetrator.

Do you wonder whether DNA sampling is legal?

WASHINGTON - Minorities make up nearly half the children born in the U.S., part of a historic trend in which minorities are expected to become the U.S. majority over the next 40 years.

In fact, demographers say this year could be the "tipping point" when the number of babies born to minorities outnumbers that of babies born to whites.

The numbers are growing because immigration to the U.S. has boosted the number of Hispanic women in their prime childbearing years.

Minorities made up 48 percent of U.S. children born in 2008, the latest census estimates available, compared to 37 percent in 1990.

"Census projections suggest America may become a minority-majority country by the middle of the century. For America's children, the future is now," said Kenneth Johnson, a sociology professor at the University of New Hampshire who researched many of the racial trends in a paper being released Wednesday.

Waiting to have children
Johnson explained there are now more Hispanic women of prime childbearing age who tend to have more children than women of other races.

More white women are waiting until they are older to have children, but it is not yet known whether that will have a noticeable effect on the current trend of increasing minority newborns.

The words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance are an appeal to patriotism, not religion, and do not violate the separation of church and state, a federal appeals court ruled today - the same court that declared the pledge unconstitutional in 2002.

In a separate ruling, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel in San Francisco upheld the placement of the national motto, "In God We Trust," on coins and currency. The language is patriotic and ceremonial, not religious, the court said.

Both suits were filed by Michael Newdow, a Sacramento atheist who has filed numerous challenges to government-sponsored religious invocations.

His previous suit against the Pledge of Allegiance reached the U.S. Supreme Court in 2004. Without deciding the constitutional issue, the court said Newdow lacked legal standing to challenge the pledge on behalf of his daughter, because the child's mother, Newdow's former partner, had legal custody.

Newdow then refiled the suit on behalf of parents who had custody of their children and objected to the daily schoolroom recitals of "under God," which was added to the pledge by a 1954 federal law.

Newdow argued that the reference to divinity in a daily vow of allegiance violated the rights of atheists and agnostics and amounted to an unconstitutional government endorsement of religion. The appeals court disagreed in a 2-1 ruling.

"The Pledge of Allegiance serves to unite our vast nation through the proud recitation of some of the ideals upon which our republic was founded," Judge Carlos Bea said in the majority opinion.

He said "one nation under God" referred to "our founding fathers' belief that the people of this nation are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights."

"The phrase 'one nation under God' does not turn this patriotic exercise into a religious activity." so religious people (specifically Protestants) are more patriotic than atheists?
