1976 “60 MINUTES” Swine Flu: Vaccination & Dangers

A friend shared this with me today via facebook , i found it informative and interesting, the information covered in these two videos should be shocking to most, take a look share your thoughts. If it happened then it can happen again, history tends to repeat itself.

CBS “60 MINUTES” documentary on the swine flu epidemics of 1976 in the U.S. It went on air only once and was never shown again.

In this stunning video interview done by Mike Wallace, you will hear that:

1) The CDC did NOT test the actual vaccine that ultimately went to 46 millions Americans (X-53).

2) The vaccine killed hundreds of people and permanently maimed/injured several thousands in America.

3) The public was NOT warned about the possible permanant neurological sicknesses that could result from taking the shot.

4) The CDC knew that the shot was dangerous but did NOT put this information on the waivers that people would sign before getting the shot.

5) The entire vaccine campaign was ordered and started BEFORE any confirmed case of swine flu was actually found.

6) The actual only confirmed flu case that was deadly (and this is dubious since the soldier refused a sick bed order), was one soldier who had the flu and collapsed on a forced march, all other soldiers, four of them, were back to normal within days without getting a shot.

7) The CDC freely used the names of well-known movie stars without their permission to launch the campaign successfully, including Mary Tyler Moore.

Mary Tyler Moore did NOT take the shot, although the CDC said she did. She wisely said “NO” because she suspected it was not healthy. Her doctor ultimately agreed.

9) Dr. Sencer, head of the CDC at the time, ordered the campaign as well as the advertising for it, and not once was any danger mentioned in any of the literature!

10) The CDC LIED to the public to sell a vaccination campaign, and Mike Wallace nailed the head in this interview, as Dr. Sencer is left squirming in his chair!

Possible Danger Related to Flu Shots

through the years I’ve heard an ongoing debate in regard to vaccinations and weather or not they are healthy or necessary. The truth remains to be seen, what I can say is that I don’t trust western medicine or pharmaceutical companies, and that before you agree to any medical treatment or procedure you should do some research and seek a second opinion.  Below is a story about the affects the flu shot had on a woman who was perfectly healthy before being vaccinated. I think its terribly sad and scary.. whats your opinion?

Peace,

Daoud

“I Know You Know” Esperanza Spalding, Right?

“So, pursuing all aspects of my creative self, and continually living each moment that will ultimately contribute to my legacy is what drives me.” – Esperanza Spalding, Nu Soul Magazine

We’ve been seeing a lot of young people evolving into successful young adults and really displaying alternative ways in which they can express themselves. Although a lot of young people love hip-hop, fashion and sports, it’s always refreshing to see unique paths taken. Esperanza Spalding, a 24-year-old native “Portland Trail Blazer” known for playing the bass and creating soulful jazz inspired sounds (that remind you of the Atlantic coastlines in Central America), is making her way to through the universe with Banana Republic ad campaigns, appearances on popular Late Night Shows and concert dates that flood into December 2009. She’s young, she’s talented and she’s someone you should check for. Thanks to Q-Tip and Twitter, I was exposed to Esperanza Spalding. Check out the video he posted:

¿Que rico, verdad? Claro. Check for her album, Esperanza and visit her site by clicking HERE. Check out an exclusive interview by clicking Continue reading ““I Know You Know” Esperanza Spalding, Right?” »

Rave With Us At The 2009 Afro-Punk Block Party!

“Afro-Punk became a touchstone of a cultural movement strongly reminiscent of the early days of Hip-Hop. Alternative urban kids across the nation (and across the globe) who felt like outsiders discovered they were actually the core of a boldly innovative, fast-growing community.” – Afro-Punk (www.afropunk.com)

Peace! We know you’ve heard about the 5th Annual Afro-Punk Festival and the amazing performances thus far (i.e. Game Rebellion, Saul Williams, Jonelle Monae), the mosh pits, the crowd surfing and the CDT Art Collective. All and all, this year has been amazing! If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, join us tomorrow from noon to 8PM. To find out more about the 2009 Afro-Punk Block Party click HERE. In the meantime, you can watch these amazing videos…

Are The Machines Taking Over?

“Tolerance is the only thing that is accepted.” – Carolyn Veith

Last night, I had a two-hour conversation with my mom about how tired she is of paying extra expenses for the basic things that she needs- small businesses shutting down, the kids not being able to focus in school or write (because of modern technology, social networking, text messages, etc.) and how she can only pay her Wisconsin Energy bill in one location (in the city) because everything is being shifted online. She’s 52-years-old and knows that, “Ya’ll generation and the generations to come are in big trouble.” She called the consumers thieves for stealing music and movies, the people lazy for not wanting to walk to the store and the kids disadvantaged because of technology, fast moving and short attention spans.

The course of humanity is clearly changing, our daily routines are shifting and people are getting left behind. Technology, the elimination of jobs, new ways of doing simple things have turned into Twitter, online shopping and downloads. Is this something we should fear? The notion of moving everything to the Internet, the expansion of the global community and the millions of people who are moving in, with innovative thinking, easier ways to execute daily tasks (grocery shopping, home remedies, bill payments, etc.) and the other half of humanity who have not a clue of what’s going on around them.

Should I be scared for my mom, the post college students or even the generations previous? Should we fear a cashless society, globalization and the idea of everybody wanting what they want fast? What do we do when people are no longer sending mail? What do we do when kids are writing, “u” and not “you”? I worked in education and kids don’t read, a lot of them can’t write and blogging is killing true journalism.

Live To Change Something: Voices of New York (VONY)

Peace Comrades,

We would like to introduce to our readers our new feature section called: “Live To Change Something.” The purpose of this section is to trigger inspiration, motivation and pay homage to those individuals that epitomizes the physical application of change. For our first feature, we are spotlighting Suzanna Ali of Voices of New York – a organization focused on the collaborative efforts of artists, educators, parents, teachers and experts to enhance positive thinking among the youth through creative arts and media workshops.

A couple of weeks ago the folks over at Voices of New York (VONY) asked me to participate in their PSA (Public Service Announcement) for the 1st Annual VOICES Of NEW YORK speak: A Youth Media/Arts Conference & Benefit.  The event is set to take place on June 27th, 2009 at the 92Y Tribeca. The conference will gather educators and alert, parents, and creative professionals to the growing potential of media and creative arts in the classroom and the community.

I linked up with Suzanna Ali and the rest of the VONY crew at the children’s park on Underhill and Prospect Place in BK to shoot the first segment of the PSA. A few hours later, we linked up with the artist Lichiban and headed over to the Children’s Art Museum in Crown Heights to capture some more visuals for the project…

CDTBK: At what point did you decide you were going to dedicate your life to the development of the community?

SA: About 9 years ago, at the age of 19, I realized the lack of contribution to our youths development and the lack of availability, in regards to positive media. It was then that I decided it was my life’s mission to help direct our youth in a positive light and bring awareness to this matter. Participating in any youth or community activism became natural to me. The youth makes up a great portion of communities (world wide) and getting people to stand up and get more involved in the process, is essential for the existence of healthier communities.

Your Tools Of FREEDOM…

“The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep’s throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act, as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word liberty; and precisely the same difference prevails today among human creatures.” -Ab Lincoln

The word “rap” is defined in the Oxford American Dictionary as: a type of popular music of U.S. black origin in which words are recited rapidly and rhythmically over a prerecorded, typically, electronic instrumental backing.

Ever wonder why rap or Hip Hop culture isn’t being taken seriously or solely used as marketing tactics to undermine that it’s really TRANSFORMING into a form of urban exploitation? Apparently someone who’s educated and is being paid for “using their brain” thinks RAP is all about talking fast over some pre-recorded beat. If all Rap is, is some dude placing a poetic group of words, rapping “rapidly” over an “electronic instrumental backing,” than what is the culture about?

If You See Something, Say Something: Why am I afraid to have daughters?

painting by Alexandra Cespedes

“If you see something, say something.” This is something I first heard my friend Netic (front man of the highly talented band Game Rebellion) say this a few years back, yelling it at the top of his lungs during an energized performance. I find Netic to be a very intelligent and highly intuitive guy, so perhaps this is something he penned. Or maybe its an old adage that never made its way to me before that point (it’s possible; I had never heard of the “Double Dutch Bus” song before Missy Elliot sampled it years back…yeah, I know, what’s wrong with me? Sue me). Sometimes the origin of the wisdom is not as important as the fact that there is a conduit that eventually delivers it to you. So I will try to focus my words to point out problems that I see, try to break them down objectively, and then speak on it in order to create a dialogue that is intent on coming up with solutions so that WE can start implementing them. Or in other words, when I see something, I will say something.

With that said I saw something today that infuriated me. On the surface it centers around a common practice today that has been widely accepted as the status quo of a particular industry, and it also centers around a reality star.  For those of you who do know me personally, you know that I find “the reality experience very problematic in regards to the perpetuation of some of the social problems in the country.  For those of you who don’t know me, allow me to introduce the way my mind works. I do not detest reality shows as a whole. In fact I try not to take anything, “as a whole” because it starts to deal with absolutes, which usually doesn’t work out too well when applying to the human race. We’re just too fallible a species to do anything “always”.
