Royal Mail is set to honor Marie Stopes, a feminist who opened the first birth control clinic in Britain in 1921 as well as being Nazi sympathizer and a eugenicist who advocated that non-whites and the poor be sterilized, by adopting her image for a new set of stamps.

BEIJING – Former United States vice president Dick Cheney, ex-defense minister Donald Rumsfeld and assorted US neo-cons will have plenty of time to nurse their apoplexy. One of their key reasons to unleash the war on Iraq in 2003 was to seize control of its precious oilfields and thus shape a great deal of the new great game in Eurasia – the energy front – by restricting the access of Europe and Asia to Iraq’s staggering 115 billion barrels of proven oil reserves.

Webster G. Tarpley
15th December, 2009
As he made clear in his West Point speech, President Obama is poised to use the escalation of the Afghan War as an excuse to further escalate the Pakistan War as well. Since taking office he has dramatically increased the number and severity of the drone strikes against northern Pakistan and is being pressed to expand the strikes into Baluchistan. According to Webster G. Tarpley, the most immediate goal of Obama’s Great Game strategy in this region is the dismemberment of both Afghanistan and Pakistan by fomenting a secessionist uprising among the ethnic groups on both sides of the border.

Demonstrators have marched through Scotland’s capital to protest against swine flu vaccination.
The group believe H1N1 is not as serious as it is claimed, and say they have concerns about the safety and usefulness of the vaccine.
Around 80 people took part in the march along Edinburgh’s Royal Mile from St Giles’ Cathedral to the Scottish Parliament.
Organiser Claire Knox said they hoped the protest encourages people to think twice about getting the vaccine.
She believes that figures for the numbers of people suffering swine flu are not accurate and questioned why vaccination is necessary.
She said: “We’re not sure that there is a pandemic as it seems the numbers are exaggerated.
“It appears that swine flu is very mild and there are very few cases and I would like to know why they are trying to enforce this vaccination campaign on us.
“The vaccine has not gone through full length testing so there are safety concerns, definitely.
“We just want to highlight the discrepancies and highlight the manipulation of numbers and get people to question whether they need the vaccine when and if it’s offered to them.”
The 33-year-old said she would not have her seven-month-old daughter vaccinated against swine flu because she fears the vaccine poses more risk than the illness.
She said that campaigning medical journalist Jane Burgermeister travelled from Austria to take part in the march.
Figures released by the Scottish Government showed that the swine flu vaccine has been taken by just over one-quarter of Scots most at risk from the virus.
Vaccine uptake for pregnant women was 36.7%, while it was 33.2% for under-65s and 20.3% for over-65s, giving an average of 25.5% for the entire at-risk group.
The estimated uptake rate for front-line health and social care staff was 45.7% and 29.5% respectively – both increases on the previous week.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Harry Burns said: “The H1N1 vaccination is not mandatory. However, vaccination is our best defence against the pandemic and I urge everyone invited for vaccination to take up the offer – particularly pregnant women, who we know are more at risk of developing complications if they contract this illness.
“Both H1N1 vaccines have been licensed by the European Medicines Agency and the European Commission. We have always stated that we would only use the vaccine if we have confidence in its safety.”

Shadowstats’ John Williams: Prepare For The Hyperinflationary Great Depression
Submitted by Tyler Durden to ZeroHedge
12/14/2009
John Williams, who runs the popular counter government data manipulation site Shadowstats, has thrown down the gauntlet to deflationists, and in an extensive report concludes that the probability of a hyperinflationary episode in America over the next year has reached critical levels. While the debate between deflationists and (hyper)inflationists has been a long and painful one, numerous events set off in motion by the Bernanke Fed (as a direct legacy of the Greenspan multi-decade period of cheap and boundless credit) may have well cast America as the unwilling protagonist in the sequel of the failed monetary policy economic experiment better known as Zimbabwe.

As in Afghanistan the US find themselves in the embarrasing situation of occupying Iraq without controlling it. Iraq is beginning to reestablish some kind of sovereignty and exploiting the manifold possibilities of the new multipolar global reality.

Are Americans a Broken People? Why We’ve Stopped Fighting Back Against the Forces of Oppression
By Bruce E. Levine,
December 11, 2009.
A psychologist asks: Have consumerism, suburbanization and a malevolent corporate-government partnership so beaten us down that we no longer have the will to save ourselves?
Can people become so broken that truths of how they are being screwed do not “set them free” but instead further demoralize them? Has such a demoralization happened in the United States? Read the rest of this entry »

It was five years before the turn of the century and major media were warning of disastrous climate change. Page six of The New York Times was headlined with the serious concerns of “geologists.” Only the president at the time wasn’t Bill Clinton; it was Grover Cleveland. And the Times wasn’t warning about global warming – it was telling readers the looming dangers of a new ice age.
