The Alex Jones Show: Bilderberg Conference of Global Power Brokers set to Meet 1/2

Paul Joseph Watson www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv June 6, 2011 Image: Wikipedia Commons A prominent member of Switzerland’s largest political party has called upon federal authorities to arrest Henry Kissinger as a war criminal if he attends the 2011 Bilderberg conference of global power brokers which is set to begin on Thursday at the Hotel Suvretta House in St. Moritz. Swiss People’s Party representative Dominique Baettig wrote a letter to the General Prosecutor of the Swiss Federation in which he asked, “In the name of Cantonal Sovereignty and independence, but especially of the Justice’s independence from executive power — may it be Federal or Cantonal — I ask you to check abroad for Arrest Warrants delivered by various Courts, Judges and also for all valid criminal complaints against the persons who were, amongst others, cited as mere examples in my (enclosed) letters to Mrs. Simonetta Sommaruga, Federal Counselor and Mrs. Barbara Janom Steiner, Cantonal Counselor and of course, to arrest them before diligent extraditions.” Baettig is no fringe figure, he’s the equivalent of a US Congressman, representing the Canton of Jura on the National Council of Switzerland. His party, the Swiss People’s Party, is the largest party in the Federal Assembly, with 58 members of the National Council and 6 of the Council of States. Baettig’s letter also calls for the apprehension of George W. Bush and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but neither are likely to be attending

La Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) è l’agenzia di spionaggio per l’estero degli Stati Uniti d’America, responsabile dell’ottenimento e dell’analisi delle informazioni sui governi stranieri, sulle società, sugli individui e sulla segnalazione di tali informazioni ai vari rami del governo degli Stati Uniti. Dispone inoltre di un ampio apparato militare segreto, che durante la guerra fredda era responsabile di diverse campagne clandestine contro i governi stranieri dei paesi nemici. La sede centrale si trova a Langley, in Virginia, vicino al fiume Potomac e Washington. L’agenzia venne costituita dal presidente americano Harry Truman nel 1947 dalle ceneri dell’Office of Strategic Services (OSS) utilizzata nella Seconda Guerra Mondiale. La OSS si sciolse nell’Ottobre del 1945 ma William J. Donovan (chiamato Wild Bill sia dagli amici che dai nemici), il creatore dell’OSS, inviò una proposta al presidente Franklin Delano Roosevelt nel 1944 per chiedere la formazione di una nuova organizzazione con la supervisione diretta da parte del presidente. Nonostante la forte opposizione dei militari, del Dipartimento di Stato, e dell’FBI, nel gennaio del 1946 Truman fonda il Central Intelligence Group (CIG). Dopo il National Security Act del 1947 (che diventa effettivo il 18 settembre 1947) vengono fondati sia il National Security Council (NSC) sia la CIA. Nel 1949, il Central Intelligence Agency Act (chiamato anche “Public Law 110”) viene approvato, permettendo agli agenti di usare il

PayingthePrice.org Publishes New Information Regarding U.S. Health Care Reform, Big Pharma and Prescription Drugs from Canada

PayingthePrice.org Publishes New Information Regarding U.S. Health Care Reform, Big Pharma and Prescription Drugs from Canada











PayingthePrice.org


(PRWEB) December 21, 2011

PayingthePrice.org, an advocacy movement dedicated to educating Americans about the crisis of prescription drug pricing, has published a new article regarding the health care reform bill that passed in March 2010. The bill was passed as a measure to help Americans gain better access to affordable health care and prescription drugs. However, the PayingthePrice.org article suggests that biggest winners may not be U.S. patients, but rather large pharmaceutical companies themselves.

“This article connects the dots between the White House, Big Pharma’s lobbying efforts, Health Care reform and consumer advocate whistle blowers who called for transparency during the negotiations,” states Emmett Murphy, spokesperson for PayingthePrice.org. The research suggests that Big Pharma’s tactics of heavy lobbying in Washington and engaging in price manipulation keep the pharmaceutical companies in their powerful market position, despite the health care reform bill’s intent to put U.S. citizens’ needs first.

The Affordable Care Act, passed by Congress and signed into law by the President in March 2010, gives Americans better health security by putting in place comprehensive health insurance reforms that hold insurance companies accountable, lowers health care costs, guarantees more choice, and enhances the quality of care for all Americans. Initially, the powerful pharmaceutical lobby supported passage of the health care reform bill, but only after cutting a few deals with the White House to ensure that their interests would be protected.

PayingthePrice.org is sponsored by Jan Drugs, a licensed and regulated, brick-and-mortar Canadian Pharmacy. “Americans should be concerned about the threat of reduced access to Canadian pharmacies and affordable medications,” notes Murphy. He asserts, “Pharmaceutical company tactics like price-fixing and pay to delay are forcing Americans to pay more for their medications than citizens of any other industrialized nation.”

From covering personal drug importation issues to exposing leaked free-trade agreement negotiation documents, PayingthePrice.org gives visitors the knowledge to understand the prescription drug cost crisis and the tools to spread the word and help make a change. The website’s mission is to explore how the high price of prescription drugs places millions of Americans at risk everyday.

For more information about this compelling issue, please visit http://www.payingtheprice.org

Founded in 2003, Jan Drugs is a licensed, brick-and-mortar Canadian pharmacy regulated by the Canadian government for safety. Jan Drugs is a verified member of the Canadian International Pharmacy Association (CIPA), which has been chosen by Google, Bing, and Yahoo as the verification authority for online pharmaceutical advertisements. Jan Drugs carries prescription medication made by the leading name-brand and first-tier generic manufactures at prices up to 80 percent less than US pharmacies. Jan Drugs has helped over 100,000 Canadian and American patients get access to the high quality medications they need at prices they can better afford.

The Truth About North Korea

(15:42 annotation subtitles) You can leave North Korea, and still get money from the government. DPRK doesn’t worship it’s leaders, It’s Korean culture. Man jailed in South Korea for supporting the DPRK! (show more) Pyongyang, August 8 (KCNA) — The south Korean daily Dong-A Ilbo August 5 carried an article saying a south Korean prisoner, 43, shouted “Long live great General Kim Jong Il!” at a lawcourt when his sentence was reduced. The article says: On June 30 this year, the man, surnamed Hwang, was taken to court No. 410 of Suwon District Court, for the final hearing of the appeal after being charged with violation of the National Security Law (NSL). He was arrested in December 2010 and brought to justice on suspicion that he posted some 380 materials and 6 videos praising the north’s social system on a website in August 2007. In the final trial, his sentence was reduced to one year from one and half year. The moment the judge was coming out of the court room, Hwang abruptly shouted “Long live great General Kim Jong Il!” looking squarely at the prosecutor. The Kyonggi Provincial Police launched a re-investigation of Hwang’s case in a bid to charge him with violation of NSL prohibiting praises of the north. During the interrogation, he said, “I wanted to speak highly of the north in the court and I did it on the trial day because I thought it was an appropriate day. If what I did is reported by media and known to young people and generations to come, I will be remembered

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv August 24, 2011 In a few days it will be the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001. How well has the US government’s official account of the event held up over the decade? Not very well. The chairman, vice chairman, and senior legal counsel of the 9/11 Commission wrote books partially disassociating themselves from the commission’s report. They said that the Bush administration put obstacles in their path, that information was withheld from them, that President Bush agreed to testify only if he was chaperoned by Vice President Cheney and neither were put under oath, that Pentagon and FAA officials lied to the commission and that the commission considered referring the false testimony for investigation for obstruction of justice. In their book, the chairman and vice chairman, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, wrote that the 9/11 Commission was “set up to fail.” Senior counsel John Farmer, Jr., wrote that the US government made “a decision not to tell the truth about what happened,” and that the NORAD “tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public.” Kean said, “We to this day don’t know why NORAD told us what they told us, it was just so far from the truth.” Most of the questions from the 9/11 families were not answered. Important witnesses were not called. The commission only heard from those who supported the government’s account. The commission was a controlled political

How are victim less crimes prosecuted without violating the constitution?

Question by Eric E: How are victim less crimes prosecuted without violating the constitution?
If you are charged with a victim less crime (driving without a license, possessing drugs) How do they prosecute you without violating the constitution?

You have the right to an impartial judge and impartial jury of your peers. So if it is the “STATE” VS YOU. (the state meaning the people of) and the judge is from the state and the jury is also. That would violate your rights protected by the constitution. The victim cannot be the judge and the jury and your attorney too. Waiting for some smart answers!

Best answer:

Answer by WRG
All criminal acts are the State v. The Defendant. The judge takes an oath when taking office that he will be impartial. The jury of your peers would be people from your state.
