Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : Vent -- 7/1

Wed, 1 Jul 2009 16:26:05 +0000

After a lot more searching I came up with this report on the response to the Clean Air Act submitted in March of 2009. I believe that this report is the same one that is on his google web page, but it is inacessable due to the high volume of traffic on it. This is a good document that summarizes the issues that need to be addressed before anyone should move forward with any "global warming policy". I was able to track the PDF down here: http://cei.org/cei_files/fm/active/0/DOC062509-00...

I keep trying the link you posed with slight variations, but I keep getting a broken link response and or no hits when I search the site. Any thoughts?

Just over @ fox news web site and cannot get the Carlin e-mail/global cooling report. The link to the PDF was removed for some reason. Anyone have the PDF that you could send me? I would really like to look at all 98 pages of information that was presented to see if all the hoopla about this report is really worth it. Supposedly the information presented in it is old data that has already been debunked, but I honestly don't believe anyone anymore until I actually have a chance to digest the original information myself.

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : 6/1 This Morning GM Filed For Chapter 11 Protection

I have only one question for the President, if he would even dare to answer it, how is it that FORD can make it through the last 2 years without taking a single penny of taxpayer money, but GM and Chrysler can't get the UAW to make realistic wage and healthcare concessions resulting in the US taxpayers footing the bill for their own stupidity? At this point all that I can say is buy FORD, a company that has true American values.

I listened to the President's remarks and I could not believe how he was trying to play the American People like they are a bunch of idiots. He used Chrysler as an example of how successful chapter 11 with the gov't is, but he used only half of the truth to make his point and if the whole truth had been presented then it would not look that good at all. The only reason that individuals are bying Chrysler cars right now is because they are looking for screaming deals on last years models sitting on dealership lots that are being closed down and the fact that they have not produced a single car in the last 60 days is why the demand for vehicles is up (the dealerships are selling their old inventory and they need to restock with the new models). By the way, I don't know if anyone has seen the new Chrysler models but the three that are being promoted in the gov't approved advertisments are all hybrid models which I would not even touch or pay the additional cost for the vehicle because strapping a bunch of batteries to a car is not "Green".

This is really of no suprise, for years GM has been kept afloat by its overseas sales. The only reason that GM did not post a loss last year (maybe it was two years ago) was because of the huge profit from their overseas plants. Ford and GM have wanted to bring specific car models that were designed overseas to the US for a while, but the major differences in saftey rules and regulations have prevented them from taking the leap.

This is not about class envy, to be posted on this site. It has to do with the lies that individuals tell to the public to try to stay in a favorable light instead of telling the truth (can you say ex-governor Blagovitch). It is about the cheating and lying that goes on every day just to try to be the "top dog", and that we as a society reward those that cheat and lie. Do you know why a male would be prescribed HCG? It can be prescribed to counter the withdrawal symptoms from long term steriod use. This also shows how the baseball unions have protected the players and allowed the denial to continue instead of standing up and flushing the toilet.

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : 4/28/09: Are We Correctly Responding To The Swine Flu ?

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 19:32:10 +0000

Quarantine is great when you can isolate an outbreak to a small area, but my point is we are and were already past the ability to quarantine once it was recognized that this particular influenza was unique. Global transportation has us all interconnected in ways that any virus/disease can travel the globe in as little as 7 days which is sufficient time for all nations to be exposed before the realization is made that there is a deadly virus/disease on the loose. I think that many are forgetting the fact that this is just influenza and is not that much different from what goes around the globe every year. It seems that many of us have lost touch with the reality that every year people contract and spread influenza; occasionally we get the influenza vaccine wrong, and a lot more people get sick from that virus with more deaths than normal, but you don’t get any of the media attention that we have on this one. My point is that viruses are very fascinating in how they can adapt and survive to only show back up several years later (usually because it survives in animal populations or even in old petrified feces) no matter how much of an effort you make to snuff it out (short of eradicating everything on the planet).
I disagree with your migration theory for two reasons: we have a very, very weak job market/economy right now, and they do not have the ability to afford the expenses of moving.
I agree that if individuals are sick (I mean the real sick, not the, ”I don’t feel like going” excuse) they should not go to school or work and should stay home until they feel better, but this applies at all times not just right now.

They seem to be working now, maybe just a system error. It happened to me a while back and was just a system/computer issue.

If you are willing to let the influenza run its' course then why bother closing the border? Once you have contracted the virus and recovered from it , you will have natural immunity from it. Closing the border does nothing to prevent the transmission of the virus when it is already in the US and has been here for at least the last 2 weeks, so what do you hope to achieve with closing the US/Mexico border?

I am from AZ too and I understand your frustration over the lack of border enforcement ( in fact, I grew up on the border), but closing the border does nothing to prevent the spread of influenza when the virus has been in the US for at least the last two weeks. It is up to the airlines to deny passengers on flights if they are displaying symptoms of disease or intoxication. Scanning individuals will not catch anyone that just recently contracted the virus as it takes 3 to 7 days to display the symptoms. This whole influenza outbreak is really not that different than the influenza that we get immunizations for every year, it is just that someone with an agenda latched onto it and made it mainstream in the media so that it could get blown out of proportion. Can you say, "Never let an emergency (crisis?) go to waste."

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : 4/26/09: Swine Flu Update - Mexico City Cancels All Public Events

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:14:19 +0000

If you contract the virus and your body fights it off then you will not get sick from that same and very similar strains again because you now have natural immunity from it (that is basically what an immunization does). We have enough data already to know what its’ mortality rate is (in specific regions and health conditions) and this virus is really no different from the regular occurring influenza that happens every year that kills hundreds of individuals here and around the globe. This is why I cannot figure out why it is getting so much attention when the yearly influenza gets no attention other than a regular public statement to go get a flu shot before the flu season starts. You may not have read another post of mine in this ongoing discussion (same thread that we are on), but I commented to another individual that we may never know precisely where it originated in Mexico due to the scope, scale, and expense of determining that. The primary objective is and will remain attempting to keep track of the spread of the virus and possible mutations along the way; this in itself is an immense undertaking.
What puzzles me the most is that no one seems to tie the demographics and geography of Mexico City to why they have a much larger issue with this virus than anyone else. Mexico City is built on a lake that was filled in by the Aztecs or Incas (I cannot remember which one started it) and is surrounded by mountains on all sides (kind of like a bowl with jello in the bottom of it and the city on the top of the jello) so there is very poor air movement across the city and the public utilities are insufficient and outdated. This is a perfect setup for creating the kind of problem that they are now faced with; the best thing that Mexico could ever do for its nation is figure out how to “move” its capitol city because the location needlessly endangers the cities’ population every day and costs them a lot of capital every year in earthquake repairs. Although, I understand completely how impossible it is to move a city so I guess that Mexico and the rest of the world (WHO included) will just keep throwing money at the problem instead of fixing it.

Every year influenza travels from China all the way around the globe to the US (that is how we determine what strain to use in the yearly flu shot). So why should we respond any different in this scenario? Just because it happens to be taking place in one of our closest neighbors that we just happen to have a border issue with? What you are arguing is much along the lines of “hind sight” judgment. What I mean by that is that by the time anybody knew that there was a problem; it was already too late to contain it in one region. So after the fact, just shut down all commerce and travel between the two nations when the normal washing of hands and covering your mouth when you cough will help prevent the major spread of the virus?

I am not sure who you are referring to, but it takes an immense amount of time, manpower, and money just to approximate the source of the outbreak and yes, if the source is pinpointed, the CDC or WHO will release the information. This is not CSI (television) where you can get lab results in 30 minutes or less. Right now, the primary focus is containing and studying the virus since it is unknown how many individuals may have been exposed to it and if it has mutated again already and become more life threatening. It is not unusual for a virus to mutate and have fragments of DNA from multiple animal species and in a lot of cases it is just “junk” DNA that does nothing to assist the virus in “jumping” from one species to another. So, I do not see the conspiracy that a lot of individuals seem to be alluding to.

Janice, the e-coli outbreak from a while back that you are referring to, had no evidence as to the source coming from Mexico and initially was believed to be from either lettice or tomatoes. Those two items were elimitated after extensive source testing and jalapenos were finally identified as the source. I think that the source was a farm in California and it had to do with using cow manure for fertilizing the fields. I believe that it is wrong to say that a virus really cares about ones' nationality, it only cares about finding another host to live and mutate in. The known cases in the US are most likely from Americans legally visiting Mexico City and unknowingly bringing the virus back with them on the flight back to the US. Yes we need to do a better job of enforcing the border, but this has nothing to do with it. This only shows how easy it is for a virus to be spread all around the world in as little as 7 days thanks to todays transportation.

What scientific journal are you getting your information from? I would like to see it, because everything I have access to do not support what you are saying including the manufacturers’ drug insert. The reason that I suggest utilizing the manufacturers’ drug information insert is because it summarizes, in a lot of cases, at least 10 years of research that is required by the FDA before it can even be considered for the public market (not classified as experimental) and the process of getting OTC status is even more rigorous. The drug information insert is mandated by the FDA to represent a MSDS for that specific drug and it is very, very, difficult to fabricate information and data when utilizing double blind studies.
Yes the companies have a vested interest in their products, but they know the lawsuit implication if it does not do exactly what they say it does. By understanding the FDA approval process of a drug and the requirements of the package insert; I suggest to use the drug insert first and foremost when initially researching a drug because there are too many web sites out there with false information or flawed experiments that only professionals would catch the limitations or lack of implications of the “independent” study.

Joe, where were you when I got off tangent this morning and sounded like an idiot because of misinformation. Yes, please go to the manufacturers' web site and get the correct information about the drug. It is too easy to get the wrong information from anything but the manufacturer anymore. Here is the info directly from the manufacturer. http://www.go2planb.com/pdf/PlanBPI.pdf Now you can draw your own conclusions about the implicaitions of this drug being OTC.

Velvetfist, I retract my stance that Plan B is an abortifacient. My information was false and I needed to get the information directly from the manufacturer. I also corrected other information that I posted that was false.

It seems that I need to correct myself here, I got off on a tangent and lost track of the facts. Plan B, as shown by the manufacturer, does not harm an already implanted embryo and the active ingredient is only 1 synthetic hormone and not a coctail. The hormone used is not the same as used in regular birth control and I still stand behind my analogy and that Plan B is the intentional creation of a toxic environment so that your body goes into "safe mode" and does not allow the natural process of pregnancy to occur. Based on these facts Velvetfist is correct that it is not an abortifacient by definition.

How am I supposed to show individuals that their information is lacking if the site administrator shuts me down from posting for no reason at all??? I just don't get it, some person flacks off about Pharmacists being worthless compared to Doctors and the Site Administrator will not even post my response when it is not even close to threatening, demeaning, or even suggestive of some of the hateful statements I have seen posted in some cases. How is this maintaining the site within the 9 principles and 12 values??
