For over a year, I have followed, documented, and exposed the government’s fear mongering regarding the swine flu pandemic botch. The results were predictable from the start. In June of this year, this spectacular article came and went with barely a mention ’round the Internet. Richard Gale and Gary Null wrote a very important piece, [...]

As a follow-up to my blog about organ socialism and the establishment’s ability to dictate whether you live or die, and to whom you can voluntarily donate your organs, David Kramer sent me this encore: in New York, they want to get one step closer to stealing your organs from your dead body without your [...]

The Wall Street Journal published this story about a kidney donor and potential recipient. Dolly Carew met a willing kidney donor, Bob Randall, on matchingdonors.com, and eventually, the surgeries were set to take place at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia.
