When Push Comes to Shove–What Will You Do?
August 26, 2009 by Thomas H. GrecoHondurus Coup, the CIA and two American Corporations
August 25, 2009 by Thomas H. GrecoJohn Perkins, the author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, argues convincingly that the recent coup in Honduras was engineered by two US companies, with CIA support. He begins by saying:
I recently visited Central America. Everyone I talked with there was convinced that the military coup that had overthrown the democratically-elected president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, had been engineered by two US companies, with CIA support. And that the US and its new president were not standing up for democracy.
Earlier in the year Chiquita Brands International Inc. (formerly United Fruit) and Dole Food Co had severely criticized Zelaya for advocating an increase of 60% in Honduras’s minimum wage, claiming that the policy would cut into corporate profits. They were joined by a coalition of textile manufacturers and exporters, companies that rely on cheap labor to work in their sweatshops.

Confessions of A Health Insurance Insider
August 19, 2009 by Thomas H. GrecoAn interview with Wendell Potter
The former mouthpiece for insurance giant Cigna divulges his role in misleading the public, the emotional day that led to his whistle-blowing, and what should really scare you.
Here is one excerpted point that clears away much mis-information in the current health care reform debate.
Guernica: Shifting to President Obama’s plan: critics often say that Obama’s healthcare plan would be detrimental to care because it would take decisions away from doctors and patients and put them in the hands of a government bureaucrat. Is this a legitimate concern?
Wendell Potter: No. But it is one of those talking points the industry repeats every time we have a debate about reform. They said it in 1993. They say it whenever the industry is under threat of increased government involvement. What I’m telling people is that our current reality is far scarier than the fear-mongering. What people have now is a corporate bureaucrat who stands between a person and his or her doctor. That’s much scarier than the specter of more government. In any event, there is nothing in any healthcare plan that is being proposed that would put a government bureaucrat between a person and his or her doctor. More…

More About the Flu Vaccine Hoax
August 4, 2009 by Thomas H. GrecoDr. Mercola recently posted an article titled, Squalene: The Swine Flu Vaccine’s Dirty Little Secret Exposed.
Here’s the first part of it:
According to Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, your children should be the first target for mass swine flu vaccinations when school starts this fall.[i]
This is a ridiculous assumption for many reasons, not to mention extremely high risk.
In Australia, where the winter season has begun, Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon is reassuring parents the swine flu is no more dangerous than regular seasonal flu. “Most people, including children, will experience very mild symptoms and recover without any medical intervention,” she said.[ii]

Judge Rules that Airlines Cannot Question FBI in 9/11 Lawsuits
July 17, 2009 by Thomas H. GrecoJudge: Airlines can’t question FBI in 9/11 suits
7/16/2009 • by Harry R. Weber – Associated Press
A federal judge ruled airlines and other companies in the industry that are being sued by families of terrorism victims can’t question FBI agents about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The defendants wanted to depose the agents and sought access to other evidence related to the investigation of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in order to show at trial that the government’s failure to catch the terrorists and prevent the attacks mitigates and excuses any alleged fault on the aviation companies’ part. The government objected.
