Very much worthwhile reading. In this so-called ‘enlightened age’ psychiatrists continue to carry out horrendous atrocities such as ECT (electroconvulsive therapy), lobotomies, leucotomies and psychiatric drugging of children, some very young, as well as adults.

VAXXED Screenings
If you are undecided about vaccines all I ask is that you LOOK at the data rather than merely believe the “authorities”.

Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting Statistics
The truth is a carefully hidden item in authoritarianism. “Don’t look, do as you are told!” is the mark of tyrannical authority, an alter at which I do not worship.

Remember the Vaccine Tamiflu and the Bird-Flu Scare?
Well, it turns out that Tamiflu was a great big con job! It does not work!
Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1999 for the treatment of uncomplicated influenza within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms. The manufacturer’s press release stated that the drug was studied in two randomised trials enrolling a total of 849 patients with influenza and reported a 1.3 day mean reduction in the duration of symptoms.1 The drug was described as safe, with less than 1% of patients discontinuing it because of adverse effects. It was approved by the European Medicines Agency in 2002.2
On the basis of these limited (and ultimately revealed as incomplete) data, governments acted. Concerned about a possible outbreak of avian influenza, as well as the H1N1 pandemic in 2009, the UK government stockpiled oseltamivir at a cost of over £600m (€680m; $770m) from 2006 to 2014. Similarly, the US government has spent over $1.5bn stockpiling the drug, based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).3
DTP Vaccine Increases Mortality in Young Infants 5 to 10-Fold Compared to Unvaccinated Infants
For many years, public health advocates have vainly urged the CDC and WHO to conduct studies comparing vaccinated vs. unvaccinated populations to measure overall health outcomes. Now a team of Scandinavian scientists has conducted such a study and the results are alarming. That study, funded in part by the Danish government and lead by Dr. Soren Wengel Mogensen, was published in January in EBioMedicine. Mogensen and his team of scientists found that African children inoculated with the DTP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis) vaccine, during the early 1980s had a 5-10 times greater mortality than their unvaccinated peers.

Some good information on B group vitamins from a newsletter received from Nutrition and Healing:
Dear Reader,
Remember the good old days when your mind and memory was like a steel trap? You could tick off every family member’s birthday and anniversary at the drop of a hat!
For years, we’ve been told that memory loss is just a natural part of ageing – and that it’s only going to get worse over the years.
If that’s NEVER sounded acceptable to you, it’s time to start making some changes – because new research proves that you could start turning the tide on brain fog, memory loss and even depression.
And all it takes is just a couple of months, starting with a simple B vitamin regimen that you can begin right away.
Now, we all know that B vitamins are good for you. They support thyroid function, and they’re crucial to the health of your brain, heart, bones, and arteries.
But Korean scientists wanted to find out specifically whether an influx of B vitamins could ease the symptoms of mental decline by decreasing a potentially harmful amino acid in the brain called homocysteine.
In the study, Korean researchers gave vitamins B6 and B12 and folic acid to seniors living in an assisted facility.
Not only did homocysteine levels drop in those who supplemented with B vitamins – but also their memories improved and depression faded.
After just three short months, their results on a popular mental evaluation were dramatically improved.
And OF COURSE they were less depressed! I mean, is there anything more depressing than losing your precious memories?
B complex vitamins are also known as nature’s “chill pill” because they can help melt away even the toughest stress.
Elderly patients in particular tend to be deficient in some B vitamins because of absorption issues that arise as we age. And if you’re deficient in B vitamins, you could notice a real difference even more quickly than the subjects in the study.
Supplementing with B vitamins is a good idea even if you haven’t noticed too many of those “senior moments” occurring. You may just see your brain fog lifting and experience a better mood as a result.

Born killers: French army grooms eagles to down drones
A royal eagle catches a drone during flight during a military exercise at the Mont-de-Marsan airbase, southwestern France, on February 10, 2017.As malicious or poorly controlled drones are becoming more and more a security threat, the French army explores all options for defence. They train royal eagles for six months at the airbase to chase drones. AFP PhotoFollowing incidents of drones flying over the presidential palace and restricted military sites, along with the deadly 2015 Paris terror attacks, the French air force has trained four golden eagles to intercept and destroy the rogue aircraft.
MONT-DE-MARSAN: Faced with the risk of drones being used to snoop or carry out attacks on French soil, the air force is showing its claws.
At Mont-de-Marsan in southwestern France a quartet of fearsome golden eagles is being trained to take out unmanned aircraft in mid-flight.
The roar of a departing Rafale fighter jet gives way to the buzz of a drone lifting into the air on a runway at the air base, some 130 kilometres (80 miles) south of Bordeaux.
Suddenly, a loud squawk fills the air as a beady-eyed eagle bears down at breakneck speed from a control tower 200 metres away.
In about 20 seconds the raptor has the drone between its talons, then pins it to the ground and covers it with its broad brown wings.
The drone has been destroyed: Mission accomplished for D’Artagnan.
The valiant bird is one of four feathered fighters – along with Athos, Porthos and Aramis, all characters in French novelist Alexandre Dumas’s “The Three Musketeers” – being put through their paces since mid-2016.
Mont-de-Marsan is one of five air bases in France to boast a falconry.
Usually, the birds of prey – generally falcons or northern goshawks – are kept to scare birds away from the runway to reduce the risk of accidents during takeoff or landing.
But with France on high alert after a string of jihadist assaults since January 2015, they are now sinking their beaks into national security.
“The results are encouraging. The eagles are making good progress,” said Commander Christophe, who heads the air safety squadron that is training the plumed predators.
Like all French military personnel, he offers only his first name and rank to journalists.
He says the birds are performing three to four months ahead of projections.
Police in The Netherlands were the first to come up with the idea of using raptors to intercept drones, inducting bald eagles into the service in late 2015.
The French army followed suit last year, but it opted for the golden eagle – a natural-born killer with a hooked beak, amber eyes and a wingspan of up to 2.2 metres (seven feet).
Like all birds of prey, the golden eagle has excellent eyesight, capable of spotting its target from two kilometres away.
At between three and five kilograms (11 pounds) it also happens to weigh about the same as most of the drones that could be used for nefarious purposes – or that simply go astray.
And an eagle is devastatingly fast, clocking 80 kilometres an hour as it swoops in for the kill.
Hatched in captivity, the four “musketeers” had their food served atop wrecked drones from the age of three weeks.
Thanks to this technique, the birds very quickly began to seize remotely piloted aircraft for food.
So when drones buzz above, their hunting instinct kicks in, with falconer Gerald Machoukow rewarding every successful interception with a hunk of meat.
The birds begin with flights in a straight line, graduating to diving from a height. Soon they will be casting off from peaks in the nearby Pyrenees Mountains.
The buzz around the project is palpable.
A first progress report is due in June, halfway through the 24-month test programme, but the initial feedback is positive.
“The cost is very low considering the job at hand,” said Commander Laurent, listing strategic sites such as airports, or events such as summits and football tournaments, among those where the eagles could be deployed.
To prevent the birds from harming themselves on the job, the military is designing mittens of leather and Kevlar, an anti-blast material, to protect their talons.
“I love these birds,” Machoukow said. “I don’t want to send them to their death.”
He cautions against setting “impossible” tasks for his charges, like launching them against larger drones with potentially deadly propellers.
Commander Laurent agrees that the birds are part of a palette of weapons available to the army in countering the threat from drones – not a fix-all solution.
But the air force is already smitten enough to have ordered a second brood of eaglets.
Mont-de-Marsan expects to welcome four more future aviator eagles by the summer. — AFP
