Human race being terminated by 'scientific suicide' - Real science is the quest for understanding, not the quest for profit

Submitted by Quest-News-Serv... on Tue, 05/08/2012 - 00:14.

(NaturalNews) This is, without question, the most important article I've ever penned, because it discusses the idea that the human race is being destroyed in the name of science. What's clear from all this is that the human race is being murdered in the name of science.

Death by science

• Toxic pesticides that kill the soils and rivers? "Science!"

 

• Toxic chemical medications that kill humans and pollute downstream waters? "Scientific!"

WHAT IF NEIGHBORHOODS WERE DESIGNED FOR KIDS (NOT CARS)?

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 05/07/2012 - 18:11.

 

This afternoon it was sunny out and I was up working on the roof where I could see the kids next door  bouncing a basketball in their driveway.    I also could see and hear - on the next street over - other kids playing basketball in their quiet residential street.   Both sets of kids could have had a pick up game if they just could get to one another conveniently and safely - through the middle of the block.

Juanita Myrick gets 20 years stealing from Cuyahoga County - Only in Jimmy Dimoraland could someone steal $864,000 for 13 years

Submitted by Quest-News-Serv... on Fri, 05/04/2012 - 23:24.

When last we left Juanita Myrick, the meticulous bureaucrat and longtime veteran of the Cuyahoga County Department of Employment and Family Services had been indicted for stealing $864,000 in welfare checks from the agency. In a marathon scam that escaped the county’s notice for a whopping 13 years, Myrick would doctor the files of former welfare clients, switching their information on the computer so that she got the checks instead of them.

Why does OUR Government have a sting/entrapment operation on Occupy in Public Square?

Why is it that of all the Occupy camps across the USA, the FBI took up a "successful" sting/entrapment operation in Public Square?   Could it be true that there is a more active wanna-be "anarchist" spirit here in Cleveland than, say, in Oakland, CA?    Just curious of the instigating circumstances which led the FBI to become involved....

Meet with a couple visting from Dayton to research her family--specifically, the Fish Family, one of the original settlers in Cuyahoga County.  It helps that the Brooklyn Centre neighborhood retains some of the architecture and landmarks that can help her trace her family and provide a touchstone.
