Illinois criminalizes citizen journalism (Hunger Games has arrived)

If you haven't already seen Hunger Games, Catching Fire I urge you to watch it now. The movie, available for free on Amazon's PRIME service, depicts a totalitarian centralized government ruling over disarmed, oppressed subjects with outrageous cruelty and injustice.

The movie is a warning to what might happen to us all very soon if we don't stop the march of tyranny in America. You need to watch the film because America is headed straight for a similar outcome, and this fact was especially driven home today by one of the most outrageous new laws to ever be passed in any state. By a wide margin of support, Illinois just voted to criminalize citizens filming police in public spaces.

"The amendment has stripped away safeguards to free speech rights from the original legislation and instituted a blanket ban on recording officials in public," writes Steve Watson at InfoWars.com. [1] "It was passed by both the Illinois House and the Senate, with huge majorities, within two days of its introduction."

"Only a government that lives like cockroaches in the darkness would pass a law criminalizing the act of turning on the light," writes the Free Thought Project [2], which goes on to point out how the mainstream media is completely silent on this story. (The media censors all stories it doesn't want you to know about, including the CDC whistleblower story, Fukushima radiation in the USA and the worsening Ebola pandemic.)

You can view the actual text of this Illinois Senate bill amendment at this link (PDF), and there's a valuable write-up of the law published at the Illinois Policy website.

It's legal if the cops do it; it's a felony if you do it

To be clear, the Illinois law makes it a felony crime for citizens to do exactly what the police do: record audio and video in public places.

When the police activate their video recorders, they claim citizens have "no reasonable expectation of a right to privacy in a public space," and that's their justification for recording. But when a citizen does the same thing, they will now be arrested and charged with the felony crime of "wiretapping" police conversations.

America is now a two-class system, in other words. There are the OFFICERS who are granted an elevated set of "rights," privileges and powers; and then there are the SUBJECTS who are denied those same rights, privileges and powers.

A nation of law has descended into a lawless land of tyranny

The idea that America is a nation of law where all men and women are created equal is shattered. The very idea that all laws apply equally to everyone, including government officers, officials and even Presidents, is now openly abandoned. The new rule is that laws are only selectively applied to Subjects, while Officers of the government are exempt from those same laws.

Chicago is now a city where it is completely legal for a police officer to murder a citizen in plain sight, but it is a felony offense for a citizen to record the video of that event on their mobile phone. The citizen who witnesses the murder is now the criminal, you see, while the government employee who commits it is granted total immunity.

Similarly, when the government lies to the people, that's never considered a crime. After all, politicians lie all the time to get elected. (Remember "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" promise?) But when citizens lie to the government, that's a felony crime. That's why Martha Stewart went to prison, by the way: for lying to the government.

When police interrogate suspects, they are allowed to lie with impunity. But if that suspect makes one false statement to the police, even in the context of having been lied to by those same police, that's now a felony crime.

If a government commits accounting fraud and lies about its earnings and debt, nobody goes to jail at the Treasury. But if a small business owner does the exact same thing, he or she gets arrested and charged with felony fraud.

When militarized government police accidentally raid the wrong house and drop flashbang grenades in baby's cribs -- or shoot people dead -- nobody in law enforcement goes to jail. They are immune to the same laws that you and I must abide by.

The rules and laws are completely different, you see, depending on whether you are a Subject or an elite government "Officer."

Illinois criminalizes citizen journalism

The arrogance of a state legislative body that would criminalize a citizen's public filming of police is beyond astonishing. It is an open admission that lawmakers are so terrified of transparency that they would criminalize citizen journalism and thereby provide cover for yet more police abuse like we're witnessing across America.

This criminalization of citizen journalism is not very far away from North Korean laws where it is a crime to criticize the "dear leader" Kim Jong-Un. In North Korea, citizens are subjects of the dictator -- property of the state -- and they have no inherent rights or privileges other than what is granted by the state. More and more, this looks like where America is headed, and as a key component of this descent into absolute dictatorial control over the people, nearly all the socialist-leaning political leftists in America have, for years, tried to completely disarm the American people by gutting the Bill of Rights, leaving the masses defenseless against an increasingly oppressive, elitist and heavily armed government (where police militarization is out of control).

It is no coincidence that the very same state which has now criminalized citizen journalism is also where large cities like Chicago have for years criminalized private gun ownership and concealed carry by honest citizens. This pursuit of injustice is a predictable pattern: the criminalization of recording video in public goes hand in hand with trampling citizens' constitutional rights, police brutality and selective government prosecutions of political enemies. The fall of the republic doesn't take very long to become the rise of in-your-face tyranny, where a police officer can literally choke you to death on the sidewalk and simultaneously have his badge wearing buddies arrest anyone nearby who has the courage to try to video record your murder.

Most cops are not bad guys

Sadly, this new law only furthers widespread public suspicion that police are badge-wearing thugs -- a belief which is almost entirely NOT true.

Most local law enforcement officers are honest, upstanding professionals who help keep the peace in cities and towns which might otherwise be overrun with gang violence. Yet this Orwellian desire by Illinois lawmakers to shroud the actions of police in total secrecy just smacks of a deeply-ingrained culture of corruption and criminality.

If the police are helping keep the peace, then what could possibly be wrong with recording them on video? And aren't police officers taxpayer-funded public servants in the first place? How can a member of the taxpaying public possibly be criminalized for recording the actions of a public servant who is essentially an employee of the People?

Even more fundamentally speaking, doesn't the U.S. government (via the NSA) covertly record all our phone calls, emails, web surfing destinations, phone texts, social media posts and bank transactions? How is this massive government surveillance of the People possibly justified when that same government criminalizes citizens who attempt to shed a little light on the public actions of government employees? In the United States today, it turns out, "transparency" is a one-way looking glass.

Why the Illinois government is headed for imminent financial collapse

You may find it interesting to note that when the inevitable financial collapse comes, Illinois will be among the first three states to see their governments fall into financial ruin. Those three states are: 1) California, 2) Illinois, 3) New York.

Other states aren't far behind, of course, but CA, IL and NY will be among the very first to collide with bankruptcy. All three of them are operating on the verge of imminent financial collapse, and all three are bastions of runaway socialism, elitist government arrogance and systemic oppression of constitutional rights and basic human liberty.

Only states that promote (or at least tolerate) individual responsibility and productivity will make it through the financial crash that's coming. Those states include Vermont, Maine, Texas, Wyoming, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Montana and several others. I very much doubt you'll see any of these states passing laws that turn citizen journalists into felons. (But keep in mind there is still a communist/socialist element in each of these states that's trying to seize power in every election.)

Like many states, over the last two decades Illinois has become a cesspool of political corruption and abuse of power. State retirement funds, to the great surprise of many Illinois retirees, have already been looted and will at some point evaporate overnight, leaving state pensioners with no incomes.

The state is so incredibly corrupt that it doesn't even have a state law requiring the gathering of statistics detailing citizen killings caused by police (justified or not). Those numbers remain completely hidden, just as the state's budget is also deliberately obfuscated and hidden from the public. Illinois, the political home base of Barack Obama, is truly the land of non-transparency and obfuscation. Is it any wonder the White House so closely parallels the political actions of Chicago?

In a state where the citizens are criminalized for watching the police, no one is safe

America's dissatisfaction with police seems to be at an all-time high. Recent events in Ferguson, MO and NYC reveal a seething undercurrent of anger and resentment toward what citizens increasingly see as police brutality, corruption and abuse of power.

Illinois has just made that perception far worse by criminalizing citizen journalism. Now, the honest citizens of Illinois don't merely suspect Chicago cops are corrupt criminals... they KNOW it! The Illinois legislature all but admitted it in the law. "Thou shall not video record our police crimes against the citizens..."

Every Illinois lawmaker who voted for this law needs to be immediately recalled and thrown out of office. This law needs to be immediately revolted against, challenged in the courts and openly denounced by all Illinois citizens... Gandhi style. It is an unjust law born out of a corrupt legislature that's terrified of what real transparency might reveal about their own criminal behavior. This abuse of government power has reached a breaking point across America, and the citizens have almost reached their tolerance limit for abuses of government power and the rapid erosion of their freedoms. (Or, those who are awake anyway. The mercury-injected masses will of course never regain real consciousness.)

But guess what? The U.S. Treasury is buying up emergency survival kits to be distributed to bankers across the nation [3], apparently in anticipation of something coming that might demand survival kits. With all the dead bankers being "suicided" lately -- i.e. winding up dead under suspicious circumstances -- I have no doubt there are forces at play behind the scenes that you and I can't even imagine.

What I do know is that everyone left holding U.S. dollars when the music stops will wish they had diversified into other assets.

Why flu shots are the greatest medical fraud in history

As one of the very few independent voices willing to stand up against the scientific dogma of our modern medical regime, I've long felt a need to communicate the dangers of flu shots to the public so that people can have better information to prevent vaccine injuries and save lives.

This doesn't mean I'm opposed to the theory of vaccination, by the way. In fact, I'm the author of A Blueprint for Safer Vaccines, an audio guide to saving lives and preventing vaccine injuries and deaths.

To my knowledge, I'm the only independent journalist in the world who is scientifically trained to run an atomic mass spectrometry laboratory, which I've been running for nearly a year now and testing the heavy metals content of organic superfoods like cacao, common vaccines as well as the ability of water filers to remove toxic heavy metals. I'm the creator of the Low Heavy Metals Verified standard and I'm the inventor of patent-pending nutritional formulas for capturing heavy metals during digestion and binding with the radioactive isotopes of cesium (such as Cesium-137) to eliminate them from the digestive tract. Both of these patents are on file with the U.S. patent office awaiting a decision.

My independent atomic elemental analysis of flu vaccines, published in the summer of 2014, proved that flu vaccines contain over 50 ppm mercury, an extremely toxic heavy metal linked to kidney failure, birth defects, spontaneous abortions and neurological damage. This finding has never been refuted by anyone. In fact, it was affirmed by vaccine proponents who insisted that it is perfectly safe to inject pregnant women, young children and senior citizens with mercury even though the flu vaccine insert itself readily admits there is no scientific evidence whatsoever to support the safety and efficacy of the vaccine in such groups.

Believe it or not, there are still millions of people, doctors, pharmacists and even journalists who do not yet realize there is a very high concentration of mercury in influenza vaccines given to pregnant women, children and senior citizens. Most people, you see, have been lied to by the media which has stated over and over again that mercury was removed from all vaccines.

That's simply not true.

It's still there. And toxic mercury is present in influenza vaccines at a level that's literally 25,000 times higher than the EPA limit of mercury in drinking water. [7] It's 100 times higher than the highest level of mercury contamination I've ever tested in ocean fish.

See the evidence for yourself

To prove the presence of mercury in influenza vaccines, I'm going to show you four irrefutable pieces of evidence:

1) Photographs of a 2013 / 2014 influenza vaccine box admitting, in very small print, to the addition of mercury to the vaccine as a preservative.

2) Photographs of the influenza vaccine insert once again repeating the admission that the vaccine contains mercury.

3) A screen shot from the Centers for Disease Control website which admits that vaccines still contain the following ingredients: Aluminum, Antibiotics, Egg Protein, Formaldehyde, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) and Thimerosal, a mercury-containing chemical compound.

4) Lab results from the Natural News Forensic Food Lab which confirmed almost precisely the same level of mercury claimed by the manufacturer (GlaxoSmithKline).

Before I show you the irrefutable evidence, there is some good news in all this testing. As part of this Natural News investigation, I tested several different vaccines, including an HPV vaccine. Mercury levels were extremely low in these other vaccines. Only the flu shot contained extremely high mercury levels.

Influenza vaccine box admits safety never established for pregnant women

As you can see below, the box for this Flulaval Influenza Virus Vaccine readily admits the use of thimerosal which contains mercury. (Of course, you have to use a magnifying glass to see this.) In microscopic text on the package insert, it says straight out, "Register women who receive Flulaval while pregnant in the pregnancy registry by calling 1-888-452-9622."

Yet, at the same time, the insert also admits that "safety and efficacy have not been established in pregnant women."

In other words, this vaccine containing mercury is being promoted for use in pregnant women even when no safety in pregnant women has ever been established.

It's also important to note that when people are being given flu shots, they are never handed the package or the insert, so they have no opportunity to read any of this information unless they specifically ask for it.

It's not like a food item with a "Nutrition Facts" label. Vaccines are sold in "stealth" mode where patients have no idea what's in them and no opportunity to read possible warnings.



As further proof of this point, consider the fact that this flu vaccine comes with only one insert, yet it's a 10-dose vial intended to be injected into 10 different people. Clearly, if there's only one insert but 10 people, then 9 out of 10 people can't possibly be handed the insert.

Unethical medicine administered without informed consent (a violation of medical ethics)

In fact, from a legal perspective, vaccines are routinely injected into people without informed consent. Virtually no one administering vaccines ever explains the risks vs. benefits of vaccines as is required under medical ethics and state medical law. In nearly all cases, patients are simply hoodwinked and told there are no risks at all.

The second piece of evidence to reveal here is the package insert for the influenza vaccine, a document printed in microscopic text that's almost impossible to read without a magnifying glass.

Of course, the intention is that no one ever read this document, because it contains shocking admissions of the total quackery and marketing deception behind flu shots.



As you can see from this snapshot, the package insert readily admits that each vaccine dose "contains 50 mcg thimerosal (<25 mcg mercury)."

In case you're wondering, "mcg" means micrograms. A microgram is 1/1000th of a milligram. Mercury is toxic at any dose when injected into the body, even in micrograms. There is no such thing as a "safe" form of mercury when injected. In fact, the ethyl form of mercury used in vaccines is many times more toxic than methyl form once it enters human cells. Click here for a fascinating interview with mercury toxicity expert Dr. Chris Shade who explains this extremely important concept.

The same paragraph shown above also admits the vaccine contains formaldehyde, a potent neurotoxic chemical.

Vaccine insert admits safety and effectiveness have never been established

What's even more astonishing about this insert is that it openly admits the flu shot is a complete medical hoax, backed by nothing but voodoo woo woo faith-based dogma (and clever marketing).

Here are actual words from the insert (which is much more lengthy than the snapshot shown above):

"There have been no controlled trials adequately demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with Flulaval."

"Safety and effectiveness of Flulaval have not been established in pregnant women, nursing mothers or children."

"Safety and effectiveness of Flulaval in pediatric patients have not been established."

"Flulaval has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of fertility."

"Do not administer Flulaval to anyone... following previous administration of any influenza vaccine."

CDC admits use of mercury, MSG, formaldehyde

For those "mercury denialists" who still can't believe flu shots given to pregnant women contain high concentrations of toxic mercury, even the CDC reluctantly admits this fact on its own website.

Here's a screen shot from the CDC's vaccine additives page, which miraculously hasn't yet been removed from their site:

Laboratory results from the Natural News Forensic Food Lab

The final piece of irrefutable evidence on all this comes from my own scientific laboratory, where I run ICP-MS instrumentation to test foods, beverages, dietary supplements and other items for heavy metals contamination.

I was the first food researcher to document high levels of tungsten in brown rice protein, and I've exposed alarming levels of lead in pet treats. I've also exposed high lead in ginkgo biloba herbal supplements imported from China.

When I finally got around to testing vaccines, I was shocked to find over 51,000 ppb mercury in the Influenza Virus Vaccine.

Why was I shocked? Because I don't recall ever seeing anything run through my ICP-MS instrument with that high a concentration of mercury. The mercury in this flu vaccine was the HIGHEST concentration of mercury I've ever seen in anything, period!

And this is a product that's injected directly into the bodies of pregnant women, where mercury goes right into the developing fetus.

What's even more interesting is that this finding once again confirms the accuracy of my lab instrumentation because it's almost in perfect agreement with the level of mercury detailed on the vaccine package insert.

Let's do the math:

* Each dose of an influenza vaccine is 0.5 mL in volume
* My lab found just over 50 ppm of mercury in the vaccine liquid.
* 50 ppm (concentration) x 0.5 mL (volume) equals 25 mcg of mercury.

Guess what the package insert says? (Up to) 25 mcg of mercury per dose. Near-perfect agreement, in other words. My finding of 51 ppm rather than 50 ppm either means my own tests were off by about 2% (which is still considered very accurate for ICP-MS testing) or that GSK put 2% extra mercury into the vaccine.

And just so you know I actually did the tests, here's what else we found with other analytes:

Aluminum: 0.4 ppm
Arsenic: zero
Cadmium: zero
Lead: zero

So, I can confidently say that the flu vaccine won't poison you with lead, cadmium or arsenic because it contains none of those things. Even the aluminum level is quite low and not a concern at this very low level. The real problem is just the mercury, at least as far as elements go.

Why won't vaccine makers remove the mercury?

Good question. Everybody knows mercury is toxic to inject into the human body. That's not debated except by irrational anti-science denialists who refuse to acknowledge the Table of Elements.

You have to wonder: why choose mercury as a preservative? And why do both the CDC and FDA continue to look the other way as an entire branch of modern medicine poisons our women and children with a neurotoxic heavy metal?

And if vaccine promoters, propagandists and patent holders want the world to accept all their vaccines, why don't they just remove the mercury and be done with it? If they take out all the toxic elements, resistance to vaccines would all but evaporate.

Why vaccines are the "anti-science" medical voodoo of the modern world

Ever wonder why they don't conduct legitimate clinical trials on flu vaccine efficacy? Probably because they know the results would have to be faked to show any efficacy at all. That's what Merck did with its mumps vaccines, according to two former virologists who worked there. They spiked human blood samples with animal antibodies to fabricate positive results. Yep, vaccines work so poorly that even the manufacturers have to fake their own results to show any efficacy.

Vaccines are the one medicine where no scientific evidence of safety or efficacy is required by anyone: not the FDA, not the CDC and not the media. Congress even passed a law protecting the vaccine industry with absolute legal immunity, even when they manufacture and sell defective products that injure and kill people.

Warning—BPA-Free Plastic Containers May Be Just as Hazardous

• Plastic chemicals can and do leach from plastic containers, thereby contaminating foods and beverages
• Among the most hazardous of these chemicals known to date are bisphenol-A (BPA) and phthalates, both of which mimic hormones in your body
• Ovarian toxicity appears to be a particularly strong feature of BPA. Harvard researchers have found that higher BPA levels in women are linked to a reduced number of fertile eggs
• In response to consumer demand for BPA-free products, many manufacturers have switched to using a different chemical called bisphenol-S (BPS), which appears to be just as toxic as BPA
• Styrene, found in Styrofoam cups, can be “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen,” according to scientists with the National Research Council

Coke to launch homogenized milk beverage with more calcium to calcify your arteries faster!

While the rest of the world is beginning to understand that milk isn't as great for our health as it was once thought to be (especially commercially produced milk), Coca-Cola is getting ready to release a premium milk drink called "Fairlife."

The company says their milk-based drink, which will cost twice the price of pints sold at the grocery store, will be high in protein and calcium, and low in sugar. They also claim that the drink will be made from milk produced at 92 sustainable, family-owned farms, according to a report by The Independent.

Unlike commercial milk that's produced in factory farms where cows are treated inhumanely and locked up inside 365 days a year, Coca-Cola claims that their new Fairlife brand will be "pursuing the highest standards of milk quality, agricultural sustainability and animal comfort."

Coca-Cola attempts to capitalize on weak milk market by launching their own "nutritious" milk-based drink
Coca-Cola's North American chief, Sandy Douglas, said to a crowd at Morgan Stanley's Global Consumer Conference last week that "It's basically the premiumisation of milk... We'll charge twice as much for it as the milk we're used to buying in a jug."

Expected to hit stores nationwide next year, Coca-Cola says Fairlife will be lactose-free and will taste much better than regular milk because of the drink's "high-care processes" and a "proprietary milk-filtering process." The manufacturers claim Fairlife will have 50 percent more natural protein and calcium than regular milk, taking "milk where it's never been before."

A spokesman for the new milk brand said:

In response to consumer demand for better, wholesome nutrition from safe, responsible sources, Fairlife, a joint venture between Coca-Cola and the Select Milk Producers dairy co-op, is excited to soon be introducing an innovative ultra-filtered milk that... offers consumers a dairy option that is sourced from sustainable family farms and provides strong market potential to redefine the category.

Coca-Cola plans to be in the dairy business long-term, slowly building the brand and convincing consumers to buy it. "We're going to be investing in the milk business for a while to build the brand so it won't rain money in the early couple of years. But like Simply [orange juice], when you do it well it rains money later," added Douglas.

Coca-Cola slammed for advertising new milk drink with racy ads

Aside from skepticism about a sugary, unhealthy soft drink company launching a "healthy" milk-based drink, Coca-Cola is also being slammed for their racy ads promoting Fairlife. Coca-Cola's ads, which feature a series of photos depicting skinny, blonde and brunette women wearing nothing more than a splash of milk, is being called sexist by some.

Captioned, "Drink What She's Wearing" and "Better Milk Looks Good On You," The Guardian describes the campaign as a step backwards in terms of objectifying women through advertising.

"As if the images themselves weren't insulting enough, these captions enhance the sexist undertones of a message supposedly intended to focus on health and nutrition," wrote The Independent's Ylva Johannesson in a critique titled, "Do we really need pinup girls to sell us drinks?"

The Daily Dot called the ad "appallingly gross."

Already, Coca-Cola's Fairlife is off to rough start; however, only time will whether the company that's been slammed for its unethical practices worldwide will be able to convince consumers to buy their new milk drink.

Their claim that Fairlife is derived from sustainable, healthy practices is laughable, as Coca-Cola has blatantly showed NO regard for such practices in the past. While a few of their latest ventures include low-sugar drinks, everyone knows the company is primarily known for their sugary, unhealthy, carbonated sodas, also known as death in a bottle.

U.S. Government Has a Secret System for Stalling Patents

Entrepreneurs and established companies alike depend on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to legally protect their inventions. But the Patent Office has been using a secret system to withhold the approval of some applications.

Newly released documents reveal that the office, tasked with evaluating and protecting the rights to intellectual property, has a covert system for delaying controversial or inconvenient patents. It’s a system that attorneys say, if abused, could function as a way to limit or stomp out emerging companies.

Before today, the program — named the Sensitive Application Warning System (SAWS) — has been mentioned only anecdotally by examiners who work in or with the office, and in a government memo that was leaked in March 2006. However, a new 50-page document obtained by a law firm’s Freedom of Information Act request shows the sweeping scope and conflicting interests of this particular set of rules. The law firm behind the request, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP, frequently represents major tech companies, including Apple, Google, Twitter, and Oracle.

Delays by design

When an application is submitted for a patent from a major law firm, it usually requires the approval of one or two examiners who work within the Patent Office. For Thomas Franklin, a partner at Kilpatrick Townsend, applications that he prosecutes typically issue as patents 22 months after filing. (Though the USPTO’s website estimates the average patent pendency time to be 29.1 months, that figure considers independent applicants who are not represented by powerhouse law firms.)

Any application that is categorized in SAWS, however, is placed in a special type of patent purgatory. SAWS-marked patents must be approved by anywhere from three to nine people and can be delayed for years. There is no official channel to notify an applicant once her patent is placed in the system, and the Patent Office has denied requests to divulge what applications are on the SAWS list...
