Two Female MDs Speak Out Against Vaccines And The Myth That Is Vaccine Safety

The safety of vaccines should no longer even be debated or addressed by those striving to accelerate the truth about these toxic injections. They can never be safe as long as health hazardous excipients are involved in their manufacture and flawed science is used to justify their medical administration.
I always ask the same question which can never be answered by the medical establishment. How can you justify injecting children with known toxins, carcinogens, immunotoxins, neurotoxins and sterility agents such as formaldehyde, neomycin, octoxynol-10, MSG and polysorbate 80? It’s not a difficult question, yet it has never been answered with any truthfulness or logic by vaccine authorities.

Cement Company to Pay $1.7 Million for Clean Air Act Violations

The EPA said it reached a settlement with the company and the Department of Justice that will reduce more than 7,000 tons of harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) pollution—two of the key pollutants from all cement plants—that can lead to childhood asthma, acid rain, and smog.

The plants involved in the settlement are in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, and Puerto Rico. The company has also agreed to spend $745,000 to mitigate the effects of past excess emissions from its facilities.

 An Open Letter to Farmers and Consumers
Do you seriously believe that what you currently buy from the supermarkets and hypermarkets is actually providing you with your nutritional needs?  Do you even care? Or are you “too busy to think about it.” Do you ever read the label on the packaging? Do you know what all those ‘e’ numbers are or mean? The synthetic preservatives, colors and additives which form a significant part of the ‘food’ you eat – do you realize what they are doing to you and your children and your grandchildren?
Well I’ll tell you: they are destroying your immune systems

Gas Fracking causes Earthquakes
Cuadrilla Resources has stopped "fracking" operations — where water is injected into rocks at high pressure to extract gas from the cracks.
The report, by a team of European seismic experts not usually employed by the company, concluded it was 'highly probable' that the two main tremors and a series of aftershocks were caused by Cuadrilla's operations at the Preese Hall-1 Well in Lancashire.
It said, however, that the cause was an 'extremely rare' combination of factors including a pre-existing fault in the rocks, and that it was 'unlikely' to occur at other sites in the Bowland Basin, where Cuadrilla is hoping to exploit an estimated 200 trillion cubic feet of shale gas.
'If these factors were to combine again in the future, local geology limits seismic events to around magnitude three on the Richter scale as a "worst-case" scenario,' added a company statement.

The biggest earthquake ever recorded in Oklahoma struck on November 5, a magnitude 5.6 temblor that buckled a highway and ruptured water pipes. This quake is part of a skyrocketing rise in seismic activity the state has seen in the past three years, leading many to wonder--and worry--about its cause. Might the practice of fracking, a controversial method of drilling into rock for natural gas, be to blame? [More]

When the sun and moon are aligned with the San Andreas Fault they tug on it enough to increase the tremor rate deep underground, according to a new study. While these tremors have not yet been linked to earthquakes, the tremors are associated with increased stress on the fault and may increase the risk of future quakes. The ease with which the deep rock slips indicates it is lubricated by high-pressure water.

Size of Gas-Fracking Quakes Can Be Predicted 
( Yahoo didn`t have approval for link....Scientific American ! )

Hat Tip BC Gold
researchers found a proportional relationship between the volume of fluid injected and the magnitude of the earthquake.
"If you inject about 10,000 cubic meters, then the maximum sized earthquake would be about a magnitude 3.3," says McGarr. Every time the volume of water doubles, the maximum magnitude of any quake rises by roughly 0.4. "The earthquakes may end up being much smaller, but you want to be prepared for the worst-case scenario``
