Liberty Quotes

"[Y]ou will understand the game behind the curtain too well not to perceive the
old trick of turning every contingency into a resource for accumulating force
in the government."

"The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but one a subordinate clerk in a bureau. What an alluring utopia! What a noble cause to fight!"
-- Ludwig von Mises
(1881-1973) Economist and social philosopher

"We've been asleep for about 50 years.
Ever since the end of World War II
we just steadily handed our future and
our bank accounts and now our children,
handed them all over to the federal government..."
-- Michael Moriarty
(1941) American-Canadian stage and screen actor, jazz musician

Liberty Quotes

"After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd." -- Alexis de Tocqueville

"It used to be the boast of free men that,
so long as they kept within
the bounds of the known law,
there was no need to
ask anybody's permission

It is doubtful whether any of us
can make this claim today."

ANTIDEPRESSANTS & SCHOOL VIOLENCE VIDEO - WILL SANDY HOOK PROVE TO BE YET ANOTHER?

WILL SANDY HOOK PROVE TO BE YET ANOTHER?

ANTIDEPRESSANTS & SCHOOL VIOLENCE: We have put together a very long list of school violence/shootings we have documented linked to antidepressant use since 1988 - 67 cases on the list because I am sick of seeing all these posts with such low figures when I know how high the incident rate really is.

Please share this short hard hitting video list of documented cases: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpFoivbZH1o&feature=youtu.be

... along with the direct link to this list where they can read more on each individual case: http://www.drugawareness.org/ssri-nightmares/school-shootings

I suggest you share this with your local law enforcement, attorneys, judges, paramedics, fire and rescue crews, government officials, news media, anyone interested in the problems with school shootings in order to educate them to the real problem with school shootings.

I would also suggest including Mark Taylor's video "Fight for Columbine" and Corey Baadsgard's video "Why I Took a Gun to School..." and my 2004 and 2006 FDA testimonies to give them more in depth information all available at our main site at www.drugawareness.org

MARK TAYLOR'S FIGHT FOR COLUMBINE - TO BRING OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT ANTIDEPRESSANT-INDUCED VIOLENCE

MARK ALLEN TAYLOR

This is the beginning of material we promised that we have begun to gather for you to help better educate about the dangers of these deadly antidepressant drugs:

On April 20, 1999 Eric Harris opened fire outside Columbine High School. Standing with his friends having a discussion on the Bible was Mark Allen Taylor. The first bullets hit Mark with anywhere from 7 – 13 entering his body. The damage was so great that doctors could not determine the number of bullets that entered. The following video documents Mark’s life from that moment on.

Our webmaster for the International Coalition for Drug Awareness at www.drugawareness.org, Todd Bentley, who is Mark’s best friend and my incredible son-in-law and best father to my grandchildren anyone could ask for, put this video together and entered it in an Infowars contest (thus the reference to Infowars. I encourage you to share this everywhere!

I am extremely concerned about Mark’s health due to the damaging effects of the drugs he has been forced to take. CLICK THIS LINK TO CONTINUE READING AND VIEW THE VIDEO: http://www.drugawareness.org/recentcasesblog/mark-taylors-fight4columbine

DEATHS FROM SEROTONERGIC DIET PILL

DRUG MAKER ON TRIAL IN FRANCE FOR DEATHS FROM SEROTONERGIC DIET PILL

By Ann Blake-Tracy on May 22, 2013

MEDIATOR (DIET PILL RELATED TO FEN-PHEN & REDUX)

ANOTHER SEROTONERGIC DRUG MAKER ON TRIAL IN FRANCE FOR DEATHS CAUSED BY THEIR DRUG USED FOR WEIGHT LOSS:

Mediator, a serotonergic drug like Fen-Phen and Redux and Meridia suspected of killing up to 2000 in France!

For those of you have not yet read my book, PROZAC: PANACEA OR PANDORA? – OUR SEROTONIN NIGHTMARE, you are likely not yet aware that Fen-Phen and Redux were serotonergic meds with a double whammy on the elevating of serotonin levels. These drugs were pulled from the market due to BRAIN DAMAGE, not heart damage as most thought. Due to this lack of knowledge by the general public the manufacturer was sued for only the heart damage and lung damage, rather the brain damage which also resulted in murder/suicides, suicides, etc. This is one reason why it is so important to fully understand the effects of these serotonergic drugs. Never just scratch the surface and think you know enough.

When these serotonergic diet drugs were pulled from the market in 1997 I appeared as a guest expert on the Geraldo Show to discuss the similarities of the drugs to SSRI antidepressants...CLICK LINK BELOW TO CONTINUE READING

American Minute with Bill Federer MAY 20 - Clara Barton & the American Red Cross

American Minute with Bill Federer MAY 20 - Clara Barton & the American Red Cross Invite Bill Federer for a speaking engagement Click here!      The American Red Cross was organized MAY 21, 1881, by a schoolteacher named Clara Barton. The first woman to be a clerk at the U.S. Patent Office, Clara Barton moved to Washington at the outbreak of the Civil War. She distributed relief supplies to wounded soldiers and, at the request of President Lincoln, aided for nearly four years in searching for missing soldiers. After attempting to carry a wounded soldier off the battlefield of Antietam, September 17, 1862, Clara Barton wrote: "A ball had passed between my body and the right arm which supported him, cutting through the sleeve and passing through his chest from shoulder to shoulder. There was no more to be done for him and I left him to his rest. I have never mended that hole in my sleeve. I wonder if a soldier ever does mend a bullet hole in his coat?" Clara Barton was present at some of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War: Cedar Mountain, Second Manassas, Antietam, and Fredericksburg. The National Park Service recorded that Clara Barton first visited Chatham or "Lacy House" in early August 1862, bringing food and hospital supplies to help "her boys." She returned during the Fredericksburg Campaign, December 1862. Clara Barton helped care for the wounded soldiers of both sides that were brought into the house. A physician requested her help in the city, which required her to cross a pontoon bridge over the river. As she stepped off, an officer offered her his hand. Suddenly a shell passed under their arms, tearing away part of her skirt and his coattail. He later died. Clara Barton set up a soup kitchen at the Lacy House, which became a makeshift hospital for the Union 2nd Corps. With doctors too busy to keep medical records, Clara wrote in her diary the names of the men who died and where they were buried. Her diary is at the Clara Barton National Historic Site in Maryland. On December 13, 1862, the day of the heaviest fighting, Clara was in the doorway of the Lacy House when an exploding shell severed a soldier's artery. She applied the tourniquet that saved his life. Crossing the river again, a Union provost marshall thought she was a civilian and volunteered to escort her to safety, but looking at the thousands of Union soldiers, she politely declined the offer saying she was the best protected woman in the world. When a shell struck the door of the room she was in, 'she did not flinch, but continued her duties' assisting the doctors. The next two weeks at Chatham, Clara saw 'hundreds of the worst wounded men I have ever seen,' occupying every room of the house. They 'covered every foot of the floors and porticos' and stair landings. A man 'thought himself rich' if he laid under a table where he would not be stepped on. Clara saw five men stuffed onto four shelves of a cupboard. Others shivered in the cold muddy yard on blankets, waiting for someone inside to die so they could be brought in. Clara set up a soup kitchen in a tent in the yard to help them. The Library of Congress has the letter Clara Barton wrote to her cousin from the Head Quarters of the 2nd Division, 9th Army Corps-Army of the Potomac Camp near Falmouth, Virginia, December 12th, 1862, 2 o'clock a.m.: "My dear Cousin Vira: Five minutes time with you; and God only knows what those five minutes might be worth to the many-doomed thousands sleeping around me. It is the night before a battle. The enemy, Fredericksburg, and its mighty entrenchments lie before us, the river between - at tomorrow's dawn our troops will assay to cross, and the guns of the enemy will sweep those frail bridges at every breath. The moon is shining through the soft haze with a brightness almost prophetic. For the last half hour I have stood alone in the awful stillness of its glimmering light gazing upon the strange sad scene around me striving to say, 'Thy will Oh God be done.' The camp fires blaze with unwanted brightness, the sentry's tread is still but quick - the acres of little shelter tents are dark and still as death, no wonder for us as I gazed sorrowfully upon them. I thought I could almost hear the slow flap of the grim messenger's wings, as one by one he sought and selected his victims for the morning sacrifice. Sleep weary one, sleep and rest for tomorrow's toil. Oh! Sleep and visit in dreams once more the loved ones nestling at home..." Get the book, Miracles in American History-32 Amazing Stories of Answered Prayer Clara Barton continued: "They may yet live to dream of you, cold lifeless and bloody, but this dream, soldier, is thy last, paint it brightly, dream it well. Oh northern mothers, wives and sisters, all unconscious of the hour, would to Heaven that I could bear for you the concentrated woe which is so soon to follow, would that Christ would teach my soul a prayer that would plead to the Father for grace sufficient for you. God pity and strengthen you every one. Mine are not the only waking hours, the light yet burns brightly in our kind hearted General's tent where he pens what may be a last farewell to his wife and children and thinks sadly of his fated men. Already the roll of the moving artillery is sounded in my ears. The battle draws near and I must catch one hour's sleep for tomorrow's labor. Good night, dear cousin, and Heaven grant you strength for your more peaceful and less terrible, but not less weary days than mine. Yours in love, Clara." Clara Barton wrote of the soldiers: "What could I do but go with them, or work for them and my country? The patriot blood of my father was warm in my veins." Clara Barton then went to Europe during the Franco-German War, where she worked with Henri Dunant, founder of the International Red Cross. Henri Dunant was the first recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Henri Dunant founded the Geneva chapter of the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) and proposed Jews repopulate Palestine, being one of the few non-Jews to attend the First Zionist Congress in Basel, 1897. Theodore Herzl first used the term, "Christian Zionist" in reference to Henri Dunant. Inspired by Henri Dunant's International Red Cross, Clara Barton established the American Red Cross Society, MAY 21, 1881, serving as its head until 1904. Clara Barton stated: "An institution or reform movement that is not selfish, must originate in the recognition of some evil that is adding to the sum of human suffering, or diminishing the sum of happiness. I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them. I am well and strong and young - young enough to go to the front. If I cannot be a soldier, I'll help soldiers." Clara Barton helped in hospitals in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. She wrote: "In time of peace we must prepare for war, and it is no less a wise benevolence that makes preparation in the hour of peace for assuaging the ills that are sure to accompany war." President William McKinley stated regarding Clara Barton in his Second Annual Message, December 5, 1898: "It is a pleasure for me to mention in terms of cordial appreciation the timely and useful work of the American National Red Cross, both in relief measures preparatory to the campaigns, in sanitary assistance at several of the camps of assemblage, and later, under the able and experienced leadership of the president of the society, Miss Clara Barton, on the fields of battle and in the hospitals at the front in Cuba. Working in conjunction with the governmental authorities and under their sanction and approval, and with the enthusiastic cooperation of many patriotic women and societies in the various States, the Red Cross has fully maintained its already high reputation for intense earnestness and ability to exercise the noble purposes of its international organization, thus justifying the confidence and support which it has received at the hands of the American people." President McKinley continued: "To the members and officers of this society and all who aided them in their philanthropic work the sincere and lasting gratitude of the soldiers and the public is due and is freely accorded. In tracing these events we are constantly reminded of our obligations to the Divine Master for His watchful care over us and His safe guidance, for which the nation makes reverent acknowledgment and offers humble prayer for the continuance of His favor." President Woodrow Wilson mentioned the Red Cross in his Proclamation of a Contribution Day for the aid of stricken Jewish people, January 11, 1916: "Whereas in the various countries now engaged in war there are nine millions of Jews, the great majority of whom are destitute of food, shelter, and clothing; and...have been driven from their homes without warning, deprived of an opportunity to make provision for their most elementary wants, causing starvation, disease and untold suffering; and Whereas the people of the United States of America have learned with sorrow of this terrible plight of millions of human beings and have most generously responded to the cry for help... Now, Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States...do appoint and proclaim January 27, 1916, as a day upon which the people of the United States may make such contributions as they feel disposed for the aid of the stricken Jewish people. Contributions may be addressed to the American Red Cross, Washington, D.C., which will care for their proper distribution." Opening the Second Red Cross Drive in New York City, President Woodrow Wilson stated, May 18, 1918: "Being members of the American Red Cross...a great fraternity and fellowship which extends all over the world...this cross which these ladies bore here today is an emblem of Christianity itself... When you think of this, you realize how the people of the United States are being drawn together into a great intimate family whose heart is being used for the service of the soldiers not only, but for the long night of suffering and terror, in order that they and men everywhere may see the dawn of a day of righteousness and justice and peace." On December 8, 1918, in an appeal of support for the American Red Cross just a month after the fighting in World War I had ceased, President Woodrow Wilson stated: "One year ago, twenty-two million Americans, by enrolling as members of the Red Cross at Christmas time, sent to the men who were fighting our battles overseas a stimulating message of cheer and good-will... Now, by God's grace, the Red Cross Christmas message of 1918 is to be a message of peace as well as a message of good-will." On May 1, 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt greeted the chairman of the American National Red Cross, Norman H. Davis, in Washington, D.C.: "The great International Red Cross organization, founded 76 years ago to bring mercy to the battlefield... I am confident that whatever may be the problems which intensification of warfare may bring, the American people will respond to any appeal for funds when the Red Cross deems it necessary to call upon them for additional aid. By such response we can aid in sustaining the spirit and morale of those in distress abroad until the happy day we all pray for, when hostilities shall cease."

Parental Rights Amendment Now Accepting Cosponsors

May 21, 2013   Parental Rights Amendment Now Accepting Cosponsors   The Parental Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution is back in the U.S. Congress! Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) will be the lead sponsor this term, with support from Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ). The Amendment has not yet been introduced, but has been through drafting and is now ready for circulation. This means it can be shared with your congressman and Rep. Meadows can begin to gather original cosponsors! We are excited about our chances of moving the Amendment through the House this session, since supporting cosponsor Franks is the chairman of the Constitution Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee. This is the subcommittee the PRA will need to go through to reach the full Judiciary Committee, so his leadership there will help to pave a smooth path for its progress. We are also excited about our behind-the-scenes progress in the Senate, and hope to confirm our lead sponsor there very soon. In the newest iteration of the Amendment we have chosen to add a clarifying section to make sure the rights of every parent of a public school student will be protected as they were before the terrible Fields v. Palmdale ruling of the Ninth Circuit in 2005. In that decision, the Court determined that parental rights “end at the school door.” (A later en banc decision of the Ninth Circuit softened the wording, but did not significantly change its meaning.) Such a termination of parental rights every time a child enters school is simply unacceptable. This new section of the Parental Rights Amendment will ensure that parents have “the right to make reasonable choices in public schools for one’s child.” This will preserve the right, for instance, to opt one’s child out of a session the parents might find objectionable. It will not give parents any power over the school’s curriculum or what is taught to anyone else’s child. (The same section also provides an explicit protection of the right to choose public, private, religious, or home schooling.) You can find the full text to the newly updated amendment here. Action Item: Please Call Your Congressman Now it is time to contact your congressman and ask him or her to sign on as an original cosponsor of the Amendment. This should be a friendly call, especially if your congressman has sponsored the PRA in the past. Your message can be as simple as the following: “Representative Mark Meadows of North Carolina is gathering original cosponsors for the Parental Rights Amendment, and I would like to encourage my congressman to sign on. The language has been drafted but not introduced, so there isn’t a bill number yet, but you can contact Patrick Fleming in Rep. Meadows’ office for a copy of the resolution or to sign on as a cosponsor. Thank you.” In many cases, your congressman and his staff will appreciate the call. In any event, please be courteous when you call; we are building relationships that can help the Amendment pass in the long run. To find your congressman’s phone number, click on your state at ParentalRights.org/States. Be sure to call their Washington, D.C., office. Then, you can check our website to see when your Congressman has signed on. We will keep the list as current as possible so that you can know when calls are no longer needed. Why not also use this opportunity to encourage your friends and family to get involved with the Parental Rights Amendment by asking them to join you in calling Congress? Then, send them to our website to sign the petition so they can get these notices for themselves. This would also be a good time, if you are able, to make a generous donation to ParentalRights.org to help us keep this exciting effort charging forward throughout the summer. Thank you for taking action today as we prepare for the introduction of the PRA in Congress! Sincerely, Michael Ramey Director of Communications & Research
