Hepatitis B is the most common serious liver infection and can lead to liver cancer. Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders (AA and NHPIs) are particularly impacted by this disease; more than half of the estimated hepatitis B (HBV) carriers in the US are AA and NHPI. It is critical that AA and NHPI individuals are screened and vaccinated for HBV, however community-based and national approaches are also needed. This webinar will provide an overview of HBV and its impact on our communities. The speakers will discuss strategies for eliminating new infections through community-based partnerships and passage of HR 3974, the first federal legislation introduced to address viral hepatitis and liver cancer prevention. Participants will have an opportunity to learn, engage and ask questions, and are encouraged to submit questions before the webinar.. + Informações

www.facebook.com www.coasttocoastam.com In the first hour, Ian Punnett welcomed the founder of StudentLoanJustice.org, Alan Collinge, who discussed how federal student loans have become predatory, turning a generation into debtor slaves. "It's a socially horrible epidemic," he declared, noting that America's total student loan debt now surpasses the nation's credit card debt. He explained that student loans are particularly pernicious because they contain no consumer safeguards such as bankruptcy protection, statute of limitations, or the ability to re-finance the debt in an open market. As a result of these factors, Collinge said, when a loan is defaulted, it can double or even triple due to penalties and fees. In looking at the source of the problem, Collinge pointed to student loan advocates and the Department of Education as the key entities that "failed to play their part" in overseeing lending practices. According to him, the DOE has been using a faulty metric to determine the default rate on student loans, thus misleading Congress into increasing the allowable limits on colleges for lending. Additionally, Collinge said, the DOE actually makes "about 22% versus what they pay out" for defaulted student loans. In order to fix the student loan epidemic, Collinge endorsed restoring bankruptcy protections for these loans. Should that happen, he said, "a multitude of problems" will resolve themselves, including an "almost overnight" drop in college tuitions.. + Informações

Daily News @ RevolutionNews.US ~ A former narcotics agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration said today that he could document evidence that his agency knew of the shipments of cocaine flown from Central America to the United States. Celerino Castillo III confirmed the charges of a three-part series published by the San Jose Mercury News written by Gary Webb, which said that during the 1980's the Central Intelligence Agency backed Contras who were involved in selling crack cocaine to LA street gangs to get money for their military. Civil Rights activists Dick Gregory, Joe Madison, Mark Thompson, Dr. John Newman and Rev. Joseph Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, appeared with former DEA agent Castillo at a press conference at the JW Marriott Hotel. They demanded that the DEA immediately release the Castillo records. Castillo said that he began recording narcotics trafficking in 1986, while investigating these activities at Ilo Pango, a US air base in El Salvador. He said he logged the amounts of cocaine, the identification numbers of the air planes, informant numbers, and even the names of the pilots who were involved in the shipments. Castillo said he sent those reports to the DEA headquarters in Washington but no action was taken. This morning, he provided DEA case details including document file numbers to the media. "It's really sad that they are trying to hide this from the American people," Castillo said. "These are the people who .... + Informações

US most backward nation in the first world? - Refuses to quarantine. The Obama administration on Tuesday staunchly defended its "passive surveillance" policy on the emerging swine flu threat, saying that its measured, cautious border monitoring makes sense. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano declared that more draconian enforcement steps are not yet necessary, even as she acknowledged that officials "anticipate confirmed cases in more states." She reiterated President Barack Obama's stance that people are justifiably concerned but need not be alarmed by it. Some 50 swine flu infections have been identified so far in the United States, but no deaths. In contrast, there have been over 150 deaths in neighboring Mexico, and Asian countries deployed thermal sensors at airports to screen passengers from North America for signs of fever. Napolitano assured network interviewers of a "very broad multi-agency federal response" and said that she and a number of Cabinet members had met into the night Monday to discuss strategy. She also the administration wouldn't wait for a World Health Organization declaration of a pandemic to deliver a pandemic-like response. Noting that the international health body has elevated its pandemic alert status to Level 4 of a 6-step process, Napolitano said: "We're prepared as if there were a pandemic. We're not waiting." Obama on Monday responded to the first domestic emergency of his presidency by urging calm _ and then dispatching .... + Informações

American Drug War - The Last White Hope a film by Kevin Booth John O'Neill Project Part 15: The Mother of All Conspiracies - The Global Drug Trade In this project, I will post supporting documentation for all of the points made in the movie, Who Killed John O'Neill. Below is a list of all of the clips from that movie with all of the parts from Part 15: The Mother of All Conspiracies - The Global Drug Trade. For Part 15, I used the 2007 Documentary by Kevin Booth, American Drug War - The Last White Hope. One can conclude from this documentary that the quagmire known as the War on Drugs has only created more problems than solutions, more addiction than recovery, and more drugs and gangs in society. I am so outraged about the drug war, that I am willing to devote my entire life to fighting it. So if there is someone out there that needs a soldier in the war against the war on drugs, contact me. A note about the titles in this series: I tried to maintain a system of naming clips according to their individual points made.

The United States is in the grip of an epidemic of prescription drug overdoses. Over 27000 people died from overdoses in 2007, a number that has risen five-fold since 1990 and has never been higher. Prescription drugs are now involved in more overdose deaths than heroin and cocaine combined. For health professionals, policymakers and legislators, addressing this problem is complicated?while they push for education, prevention, and enforcement to reverse this epidemic, they must also ensure that patients with a legitimate need for these medications still have access to them. This important session of Public Health Grand Rounds will address these challenges and explore the innovative state and federal policies and interventions that are showing promise in reducing injury and death from this epidemic.

USA, 1993. 17 years after this documentary was made, nothing has changed politically regarding 'CFS', however, in 2009 the stunning finding of a mouse derived new human retrovirus (XMRV) was discovered in 98% of patients with CFS (Lombardi et al, 2009) by Scientists working in conjuction with the WPI (Whittemore Peterson Institute in Nevada, USA). In June 2010, the CDC blocked the release of the American health agencies (NIH/FDA) XMRV replication study by Alter et al, that confirmed the findings of the WPI paper (published in SCIENCE journal) of finding the Alter paper finding XMRV in 80% of patients with CFS. Instead, the CDC), published their own negative study claimining they cannot find any XMRV in patients with CFS - at all. (0% finding). A most puzzling result, when XMRV has already been found in 2-4% of HEALTHY persons in the population in USA, Japan and Germany. Now you know why 17 years ago, the American population was dying from XMRV and the CDC DID NOTHING but disguise it with a stupid and innapropriate label of 'CFS' (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), which required no tests for this diagnosis. The positive XMRV replication study of finding XMRV in 80% of CFS patients in the blocked paper by Alter et al, thus confirms the findings of the WPI. It now due to be released after being 'adjusted' for public consumption some time from July 2010 onwards. Meanwhile, the CDC now want to redefine CFS as 'fatigue & one symptom' and declare that anyone with a neurological disease .... + Informações
