James Corbett is an independent journalist and a true champion of
alternative media. He has informed and influenced millions of people
through his youtube channel and website. In this interview we discuss
how James got started and how his hard work and dedication has brought
him to the point of doing this work full time. James also gives us his
insight on the recent situation involving the PIPA and SOPA bills and
the reaction by Anonymous. Considering James was my first subscriber at
Press For Truth TV I thought it would be fitting for him to be my first
guest.
European Parliament Official In Charge Of ACTA Quits, And Denounces The 'Masquerade' Behind ACTA
Source: Tech DirtMike Masnick
This is interesting. Kader Arif, the "rapporteur" for ACTA, has quit that role in disgust over the process behind getting the EU to sign onto ACTA. A rapporteur
is a person "appointed by a deliberative body to investigate an issue."
However, it appears his investigation of ACTA didn't make him very
pleased:
I want to denounce in the strongest possible manner the entire process that led to the signature of this agreement: no inclusion of civil society organisations, a lack of transparency from the start of the negotiations, repeated postponing of the signature of the text without an explanation being ever given, exclusion of the EU Parliament's demands that were expressed on several occasions in our assembly.
As rapporteur of this text, I have faced never-before-seen manoeuvres from the right wing of this Parliament to impose a rushed calendar before public opinion could be alerted, thus depriving the Parliament of its right to expression and of the tools at its disposal to convey citizens' legitimate demands.”
Everyone knows the ACTA agreement is problematic, whether it is its impact on civil liberties, the way it makes Internet access providers liable, its consequences on generic drugs manufacturing, or how little protection it gives to our geographical indications.
This agreement might have major consequences on citizens' lives, and still, everything is being done to prevent the European Parliament from having its say in this matter. That is why today, as I release this report for which I was in charge, I want to send a strong signal and alert the public opinion about this unacceptable situation. I will not take part in this masquerade.
Pretty rare to find such direct honesty in political circles. That's
quite a direct and clear condemnation of the entire process. In terms
of process, it will be interesting to see if this has an impact. While
the EU did sign on to ACTA today, it still needs to be ratified
by the European Parliament (more on that in a little while). Having
Arif quit makes a pretty big statement, and hopefully makes it easier
for Parliament Members to speak out loudly against ACTA... Still, this
is an uphill battle. The supporters of ACTA have been working to get
ACTA approved for years. To them, this is basically a done deal.
Governments Worldwide Raise Acceptable Radiation Levels Based Upon Politics … Not Science
Instead of Protecting People, Governments Cover Up by Raising “Safe” Radiation Levels
Does that mean that we don’t have to worry about radiation from Fukushima?
It is a little hard to know, given that what is deemed a “safe level”
of radiation is determined by politics … rather than science. For
example, current safety standards are based on the ridiculous assumption
that everyone
exposed is a healthy man in his 20s – and that radioactive particles
ingested into the body cause no more damage than radiation hitting the
outside of the body.
And one of the main advisors to the Japanese government on Fukushima announced:
If you smile, the radiation will not affect you.
In the real world, however, even low doses of radiation
can cause cancer. Moreover, small particles of radiation – called
“internal emitters” – which get inside the body are much more dangerous
than general exposures to radiation. See this and this. And radiation affects small children much more than full-grown adults.
Indeed, instead of doing much to try to protect their citizens from Fukushima, Japan, the U.S. and the EU all just raised the radiation levels they deem “safe”.
Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen says
that high-level friends in the State Department told him that Hillary
Clinton signed a pact with her counterpart in Japan agreeing that the
U.S. will continue buying seafood from Japan, despite that food not being tested for radioactive materials.
The Geopolitical Stakes in Nigeria—Part I: The Curious Role of the IMF
Source: Boiling Frogs Post
Nigeria,
Africa’s most populous nation and its largest oil producer, is from all
evidence being systematically thrown into chaos and a state of civil
war. The recent surprise decision by the government of Goodluck Jonathan
to abruptly lift subsidies on imported gasoline and other fuel has a
far more sinister background than mere corruption and the
Washington-based International Monetary Fund (IMF) is playing a key
role. China appears to be the likely loser along with Nigeria’s
population.
Despite
its oil riches, Nigeria remains one of Africa’s poorest countries. The
known oilfields are concentrated around the vast Niger Delta roughly
between Port Harcourt and extending in the direction of the capital
Lagos, with large new finds being developed all along the oil-rich Gulf
of Guinea. Nigeria’s oil is exploited and largely exported by the
Anglo-American giants—Shell, Mobil, Chevron, Texaco. Italy’s Agip also
has a presence and most recently, to no one’s surprise, the Chinese
state oil companies began seeking major exploration and oil
infrastructure agreements with the Lagos government.

The recent strikes protesting the government’s abrupt elimination of
gasoline and other fuel subsidies, that brought Nigeria briefly to a
standstill, came as a surprise to most in the country. Months earlier
President Jonathan had promised the major trade union organizations that
he would conduct a gradual four-stage lifting of the subsidy to ease
the economic burden. Instead, without warning he announced an immediate
full removal of subsidies effective January 1, 2012. It was “shock
therapy” to put it mildly.
Nigeria today is one of the world’s most important producers of
light, sweet crude oil—the same high quality crude oil that Libya and
the British North Sea produce. The country is showing every indication
of spiraling downward into deep disorder. Nigeria is the fifth largest
supplier of oil to the United States and twelfth largest oil producer in
the world on a par with Kuwait and just behind Venezuela with
production exceeding two million barrels a day. [1]
The curious timing of IMF subsidy demand
Despite
its oil riches, Nigeria remains one of Africa’s poorest countries. The
known oilfields are concentrated around the vast Niger Delta roughly
between Port Harcourt and extending in the direction of the capital
Lagos, with large new finds being developed all along the oil-rich Gulf

Anglo-American giants—Shell, Mobil, Chevron, Texaco. Italy’s Agip also
has a presence and most recently, to no one’s surprise, the Chinese
state oil companies began seeking major exploration and oil
infrastructure agreements with the Lagos government.
Ironically, despite the fact that Nigeria has abundant oil to earn
dollar export revenue to build its domestic infrastructure, government
policy has deliberately let its domestic oil refining capacity fall into
ruin. The consequence has been that most of the gasoline and other
refined petroleum products used to drive transportation and industry,
has to be imported, despite the country’s abundant oil. In order to
shield the population from the high import costs of gasoline and other
refined fuels, the central government has subsidized prices.
AMA Paper Proposes Law Forcing People Into Experimental Vaccine Trials
Source: Activist PostMike Barrett
How would you react if I were to tell you that you or your child were forced to participate in experimental vaccine trials?
A paper published by the American Medical Association’s Virtual Mentor wants to do just that.
It seems that the amount of current participants in current experimental vaccine trials is a bit too low, so why not create a federal law forcing each person to need to “opt-out” of experimental vaccine trials in an attempt to better society?
AMA Proposes Law ‘Forcing’ Individuals to Participate in Experimental Vaccine Trials
The proposed law is lunacy, to say the least, stating that individuals must make a “mandated choice” to participate in such experimental trials. People shouldn’t be automatically enrolled in experimental trials or need to state in advance their decision to “opt-out”.
Along with the law will come a customer list for big pharma, where each participant’s information will be shared with the pharmaceutical companies in order to gather trial and field test data.
Of course this isn’t so different from how things operate now, where individuals are enrolled into big pharma’s database even if you exempt your child from vaccination. But if big pharma can’t produce enough positive data from those who actually want to volunteer for introducing a new product to the FDA for approval, they may just try to force people to participate or use a segment of the population that is ignorant to the laws surrounding the trials.

What happens if these experimental vaccines cause harm?
There are laws already set in place that essentially give vaccine manufacturers immunity to legal repercussions. That is to say that if your child is harmed from a vaccine, the vaccine manufacturers are not financially or morally responsible. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 protects vaccine manufacturers from any liability.
