Iowa Egg Recall: Animal Suffering in Numbers

On August 20, Seattle food safety speaker and blogger, Bill Marler, tweeted some numbers that help put the scale of U.S. laying hen suffering into perspective. To produce the 380 million eggs recalled on August 18, approximately five million birds over a 90-day period were required. That's a total of 450 million days of chicken “confinement, misery and agony.” For a perspective on what life is like for egg-laying hens on factory farms, check out this virtual battery cage, created by AnimalVisuals.org. _______ Make sure your sound is on. It's too bad they can't recreate the smell for you. -al added by: animalia_libero

They Hate Your Guts

Down in the swampy streets of Washington, Along the river in the noonday sun they meet, And they don’t even feel the heat. They’re bought and paid for like a high class whore Completely rotten to the very core, it’s true, That they don’t ever think of you. They look into your bedroom drawer, They look into your mail, They listen to your telephone calls, And maybe put you into jail, They pour the water down your throat, They beat you' til you squeal, And they be telling all your friends, That none of it is real, I gotta say they really hate your guts, They really laughin’ in your face and you just smile, You're watchin TV all the while, Why can’t you see they really hate your guts? You just a slave inside a pretty colored cell, I thought you’d recognize the smell. They look into your bedroom drawer, They look into your mail, They listen to your telephone calls, And then they put you into jail, They pour the water down your throat, They beat you 'til you squeal, And they be telling all your friends, That none of it is real, Down in the swampy streets of Washington, They do their planning for the businesses they run, And you don’t own a single one, You’re bought and paid for like a rich man’s dog, Maybe you’re happy like a well fed hog, okay, But all your freedom’s yesterday. They hate your guts, you know they hate your guts. added by: Progresshiv

Muse Urges Its Fans To Take The Red Pill

Alternative rock megaband Muse have urged their millions of listeners to take the “red pill” and reject the babylon system of mindless popular culture and meaningless music – by inviting people to visit Alex Jones’ Prison Planet.com and Infowars.com via links on the band’s official website. Muse’s links page features their own Facebook and MySpace pages as well as some fan sites, but a special section contains just four links, two of which lead to Prison Planet and Infowars. Why does any of this matter? Because even before the release of their latest blockbuster The Resistance, Muse had sold 10 million albums worldwide and won countless awards, including five MTV Europe Music Awards, five Q Awards, eight NME Awards, two BRIT awards and four Kerrang! Awards. Muse’s The Resistance album is the culmination of their increasingly public vocal opposition to the new world order agenda, and has topped the album charts in no less than 19 countries worldwide. The fact that one of the most popular bands on the planet right now is using its gargantuan public platform to encourage its listeners to educate themselves about the agenda for world government shows how deeply woven into the fabric of society the real resistance is becoming. And it’s not as if Muse are some Johnny-come-lately outfit who are exploiting a “resistance” gimmick simply to make profits. They’ve been on board with the genuine resistance from the start – it’s been four years since we reported on how Muse front man Matt Bellamy wore a Terrorstorm T-shirt during a headlining gig at the Reading festival that was witnessed by millions watching on television. As we have previously documented, music and popular culture is the most powerful weapon the elite wield in keeping the masses distracted, dumbed down and morally bankrupt. Amoral, vacuous and nihilistic drivel from the likes of Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna and Katy Perry keeps young women obsessed with meaningless drivel while thinking that it’s mandatory to dress and act like a whore to be accepted by their peers, while the endless parade of moronic hip-hop artists, people like Puff Daddy, Kanye West, Jay-Z, 50-cent and Lil Wayne brainwash young men into thinking that acting like a superficial, moronic, money-obsessed, sex-obsessed thug who wears their pants round their knees and treats women like pieces of meat is cool. That’s why it’s so refreshing to see a truly talented band like Muse singing about important and cutting edge issues and being successful in the process, reaching millions of young people who might otherwise have been trapped in the babylon system of popular culture that is warping young people’s minds and turning them into depressed, disenchanted, powerless, and soulless creatures whose manipulated mindlessness prevents them from even being able to think straight amidst the ceaseless din of the psychological attack they are under from music and popular culture in general. The new world order attack on our society is about more than politics, money, and power – it’s about stealing the minds of our own children and filling them with self-destructive, humanist, post-modernist, spiritually devoid crap that destroys their innocence, their hope, their strength of character and their moral compass. Featured below is Muse’s video for Uprising, which has received over 16.5 million views on You Tube. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the message behind the song. added by: Omnomynous
