"Barack Opharma issues the ultimate bad news during his weekly Friday night bad news dump: Legal immunity set for swine flu vaccine makers 17 Jul 2009 The last time the government embarked on a major vaccine campaign against a new swine flu, thousands filed claims contending they suffered side effects [paralysis, death] from the shots. This time, the government has already taken steps to head that off. Vaccine makers and federal officials will be immune from lawsuits that result from any new swine flu vaccine, under a document signed by Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, government health officials said Friday. The document signed by Sebelius last month grants immunity to those making a swine flu vaccine, under the provisions of a 2006 law for public health emergencies." - ovigia from Bookmarklet

"Abstract: By means of CCTV technology, the EU is building a monitoring system at the centre of which the SitCen- EU´s CIA- is positioned. It is able to detect and follow persons, analyze "abnormal behaviour" like sudden movements, a shrill voice, verbal aggression, wearing of hoods, odd behaviour etc in crowded spaces and to process the data.If the system finds suspicious behaviour it reports to the police who will then arrest you and stamp your crime out before you commit it. The point is that "criminals" and "terrorists" with abnormal behaviour will increasingly be the natives of the nations opposing the islamization of Europe, as well as opponents of the New World Order dictatorship - instead of Islamist terrorists. Chips are being refined - will be enforced upon you, so that you can be controlled for having had your poisonous vaccinations etc. Schools in the UK are becoming agents of the New World Order. German law will allow to search your computer at any time. Brave New World Order." - ovigia from Bookmarklet

There are projects like that, but it doesnt then mean we have big brother or the hunt for anyone opposing islamization... The aim of the projects is to remove police bias and errors, and solve the key problem of manpower - there are tons of CCTVs in the UK now but only perhaps 10 or 20% are actually seen/watched. Algorithms to decide "hang on something might be happening here" and flick which screen is seen can be useful, without going into paranoia mode. - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

When the computer is started up again, it reloads the contents and the user can continue from where they left off.

"A security researcher shunned by the anti-virus community for violating its unwritten rules has attempted to turn the tables, erecting a Web service that virus writers could use to make their creations more stealthy and undetectable for longer periods of time.

"While Microsoft is going to launch in a flood of propaganda advertisement its new operating system - Windows 7, an important security hole seems to have been quietly ignored. Microsoft has to make itself a better image towards users, after the more than mixed success of Windows Vista, which still has difficulty to replace the old Windows XP. So it’s not difficult to understand that the monopolist takes more care of packaging than it takes care of security." - ovigia from Bookmarklet

"A few days before the launching of Microsoft’s last operating system, FSFE wondered about users’ security since an important vulnerability has been silently ignored. I then asked myself the question, in what way Free Software is different regarding security? It appears that our allegations were true and should have been taken seriously. As an article in Computerworld reports, Microsoft finally issued a security advisory about that high-risk vulnerability three days ago. The problem is still not fixed though." - ovigia from Bookmarklet

"So what are your alternatives? Well, you can ask your vendor to install old, faithful Windows XP. You can wait to see what OS Google eventually comes up with. Or, if you want to bypass the major vendors, there are several operating systems built upon Linux you can download now for free and install on your netbook. In this round-up, I take a look at three alternative netbook operating systems: Ubuntu Netbook Remix (from Canonical Ltd.), Moblin (from The Linux Foundation) and Jolicloud (an upcoming spin-off of UNR which, as of this writing, has yet to be officially released)." - ovigia from Bookmarklet

"According to WHO, the "swine flu" H1N1 virus is so new that it counts as a deadly threat to us and a pandemic level 6 declaration is justified. However, three of the major pharmaceutical companies that sat as "observers" on WHO's vaccine advisory board which recommended their  "swine flu" jabs to fight the swine flu "pandemic" in July filed patents for a "swine flu" vaccine long before the virus appeared allegedly for the first time in Mexico in April 2009." - ovigia from Bookmarklet

"GlaxoSmithKline’s ‘Pandemrix’ H1N1 flu virus vaccine has been given a licence for use in Europe by regulatory agencies and the UK is now contracted to buy 60 million doses. This means that in just a few short weeks time the UK population, including babies as young as 6 months and pregnant women, may begin to receive the new vaccine. The reason the H1N1 vaccine was able to receive such rapid approval is that for the last few years GSK, like many other vaccine manufacturers, have been developing and patenting ‘pandemic’ flu vaccines.

"Vaccines themselves can be dangerous, especially live, attenuated viral vaccines or the new recombinant nucleic acid vaccines [10], they have the potential to generate virulent viruses by recombination and the recombinant nucleic acids could cause autoimmune diseases. A further major source of toxicity in the case of the flu vaccines are the adjuvants, substances added in order to boost the immunogenicity of the vaccines. There is a large literature on the toxicities of adjuvants. Most flu vaccines contain dangerous levels of mercury in the form of thimerosal, a deadly preservative 50 times more toxic than mercury itself [9]. At high enough doses, it can cause long-term immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioural dysfunctions. Also associated with mercury poisoning are autism, attention deficit disorder, multiple sclerosis, and speech and language deficiencies.

"“Just two weeks ago, the House of Representatives passed the Waxman-Markey climate bill,” Gore said, noting it was “very much a step in the right direction.” President Obama has pushed for the passage of the bill in the Senate and attended a G8 summit this week where he agreed to attempt to keep the Earth's temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees C. Gore touted the Congressional climate bill, claiming it “will dramatically increase the prospects for success” in combating what he sees as the “crisis” of man-made global warming. “But it is the awareness itself that will drive the change and one of the ways it will drive the change is through global governance and global agreements.”" - ovigia from Bookmarklet

"For the last several years, HPV vaccines have been marketed to the public and mandated in compulsory injections for young girls in several states based on the idea that they prevent cervical cancer. Now, NaturalNews has obtained documents from the FDA and other sources (see below) which reveal that the FDA has been well aware for several years that Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has no direct link to cervical cancer. NaturalNews has also learned that HPV vaccines have been proven to be flatly worthless in clearing the HPV virus from women who have already been exposed to HPV (which includes most sexually active women), calling into question the scientific justification of mandatory "vaccinate everyone" policies." - ovigia from Bookmarklet

""[The CRU] is widely recognized as one of the world's leading institutions concerned with the study of natural and anthropogenic climate change. Consisting of a staff of around thirty research scientists and students, the Unit has developed a number of the data sets widely used in climate research, including the global temperature record used to monitor the state of the climate system, as well as statistical software packages and climate models. An unknown person put postings on some climate skeptic websites that advertised an FTP file on a Russian FTP server. Here is the message that was placed on the Air Vent today: 'We feel that climate science is, in the current situation, too important to be kept under wraps. We hereby release a random selection of correspondence, code, and documents.' The file was large, about 61 megabytes, containing hundreds of files. It contained data, code, and emails apparently from the CRU. If proved legitimate, these bombshells could spell trouble for the AGW crowd."" - ovigia from Bookmarklet
