Journalism or Collaboration?

Journalism or Collaboration?

At the same time we are listening to the howls of indignation that the US would attempt to get some good, and truthful, news out to the Iraqi public, we get a glaring reminder why this is necessary. News reports around the world trumpeted that insurgents had taken over the city of Ramadi and attacked many Iraqi and US bases in the area, overrunning and taking control of the city. Sadly, this is exactly the kind of info that gets most of the folks covering this war salivating. They have blinded themselves to any good happening and circle like buzzards waiting for the carcass to finally drop, so they can shout to the world how the imperialist Americans got taught a lesson. The problem is the insurgents didn't take over Ramadi, and their very brief posed set piece in a couple of blocks had to be closely coordinated with journalists to ensure that when they ran out and pointed their guns, the reporters got to see them before the Americans or Free Iraqis did, because they know hellfire seeks any clown dumb enough to stand and fight.Ramadi_gungeek

Al-Reuters is always dependable:

"They've taken control of all the main streets and other sections of Ramadi," a reporter for Reuters there said earlier. "I've seen about 400 armed men controlling streets, some of which were controlled by Americans before."

More like a dozen from the video I saw on TV and even they had that look like "Are you getting this?" to the collaborator journalist filming them. The sum total of this massive assault was one RPG fired at a US position.

Sounds like they actually pissed this Marine Captain off:
"Today I witnessed inaccurate reporting, use of unreliable sources, media using other media as sources, an active insurgent propaganda machine, and the pack journalism at its worse," Capt. Jeffrey Pool, a spokesman for the 2nd Marine Division, said in an e-mail to news organizations."

So again we have collaboration between media and the enemy, similar to when the AP had a stringer who just happened to be set up where a kidnapping and execution of election officials took place, or the many other instances where journalists accompany the enemy and film them under some unethical agreement. Yet this draws no complaints, heck this is usually just accepted and then used as propaganda against US and free Iraqi efforts to finish these clowns off. The willingness to serve as mouthpiece and enabler of the terrorists is sad and reinforces the very low and dropping opinion most people have of the media. They and Congress battle it out for the title of least trusted group in our country, kinda sad isn't it.

Insulin Resistance- cause of ADD, diabetes, narcolepsy, etc etc

Insulin Resistance Insulin Resistance Have you been diagnosed with clinical depression? Heart disease? Type II, or adult, diabetes? Narcolepsy? Are you, or do you think you might be, an alcoholic? Do you gain weight around your middle in spite of faithfully dieting? Are you unable to lose weight? Does your child have ADHD? If you have any one of these symptoms, I wrote this article for you. Believe it or not, the same thing can cause all of the above symptoms. I am not a medical professional. I am not a nutritionist. The conclusions I have drawn from my own experience and observations are not rocket science. A diagnosis of clinical depression is as ordinary as the common cold today. Prescriptions for Prozac, Zoloft, Wellbutrin, etc., are written every day. Genuine clinical depression is a very serious condition caused by serotonin levels in the brain. I am not certain, however, that every diagnosis of depression is the real thing. My guess is that about 10 percent of the people taking

Could Narcolepsy be caused by gluten? :: Kitchen Table Hypothesis

Kitchen Table Hypothesis from www.zombieinstitute.net - Heidi's new site It's commonly known that a severe allergy to peanuts can cause death within minutes. What if there were an allergy that were delayed for hours and caused people to fall asleep instead? That is what I believe is happening in people with Narcolepsy. Celiac disease is an allergy to gliadin, a specific gluten protein found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye. In celiac disease the IgA antigliadin antibody is produced after ingestion of gluten. It attacks the gluten, but also mistakenly binds to and creates an immune reaction in the cells of the small intestine causing severe damage. There is another form of gluten intolerance, Dermatitis Herpetiformis, in which the IgA antigliadin bind to proteins in the skin, causing blisters, itching and pain. This can occur without any signs of intestinal damage. Non-celiac gluten sensitivity is a similar autoimmune reaction to gliadin, however it usually involves the

Blue-blocking Glasses To Improve Sleep And ADHD Symptoms Developed

Blue-blocking Glasses To Improve Sleep And ADHD Symptoms Developed Scientists at John Carroll University, working in its Lighting Innovations Institute, have developed an affordable accessory that appears to reduce the symptoms of ADHD. Their discovery also has also been shown to improve sleep patterns among people who have difficulty falling asleep. The John Carroll researchers have created glasses designed to block blue light, therefore altering a person's circadian rhythm, which leads to improvement in ADHD symptoms and sleep disorders. […] How the Glasses Work The individual puts on the glasses a couple of hours ahead of bedtime, advancing the circadian rhythm. The special glasses block the blue rays that cause a delay in the start of the flow of melatonin, the sleep hormone. Normally, melatonin flow doesn't begin until after the individual goes into darkness. Studies indicate that promoting the earlier release of melatonin results in a marked decline of ADHD symptoms.
