(NaturalNews) On Wednesday, January 18, 2012, NaturalNews.com went “dark” to protest SOPA, the “Stop Online Piracy Act” that is actually a thinly-veiled government censorship effort. We are also protesting PIPA, the “Protect IP Act,” which is similarly destructive in its effects. You may have arrived at this page from our mock “seizure” index page which depicts what might happen if SOPA becomes law.

This is crucial for all NaturalNews readers and fans to understand: If SOPA becomes law, NaturalNews.com will be shut down. In fact, the proposed law contains a specific provision — section 105 — which allows the U.S. government to shut down websites it claims “endanger public health.”

Given that NaturalNews openly and repeatedly advocates things like natural sunlight and vitamin C — both of which the government has said are dangerous — our website could be seized by the government under SOPA. And that doesn’t even consider our public stance against routine vaccinations, processed food chemicals and dangerous prescription medications (which the government is always trying to push on the public to kill people before they live long enough to collect social security).

If passed into law, SOPA would shut down NaturalNews, InfoWars, Drudge, Lew Rockwell, Reddit and many other alternative news websites

Make no mistake about the seriousness of this issue: If SOPA (or PIPA) becomes law, it will sooner or later result in the government seizure and shutdown of virtually all alternative news websites — especially those that disagree with the criminality of the current corrupt political regime in Washington.

Imagine an internet without NaturalNews.com. Imagine the liberty movement without InfoWars.com. Imagine the entire world wide web being “sanitized” by the government to remove any websites that do not agree with the government’s official position on finance, the war on drugs, the war on terrorism, pharmaceuticals and vaccines. That’s what we’re facing if SOPA becomes law: A virtual wipeout of all truth across the internet, leaving only the lies of “official” government information… the Ministry of Truth, in other words.

The Internet is the vehicle for restoring freedom and crushing tyranny

Why is the U.S. government working so feverishly to crush independent, truthful information on the internet? Because the globalist controllers realize that the internet is the last bastion of freedom in a world run by global elite corporatists.

While the global elite own and run the mainstream (corporate whore) media, and they own Congress, and they own all the influential non-profits such as the wholly corrupt American Cancer Society, they do not yet control the internet! This freaks them out, especially when they see so much truth being produced by liberty-loving individuals who are exposing the neocons, the socialists, and the criminal-minded thugs who run Wall Street and the White House.

They are desperate to crush internet freedom and SOPA is the tool they hope to use to accomplish that. This is why your opposition to SOPA is absolutely crucial. It’s also why internet giants such as Wikipedia and Reddit have joined in this one-day protest against the tyranny of SOPA and what is fast becoming a government-sponsored “information terrorism” campaign against free speech.

Take action NOW – or you will lose internet free speech forever

This is an absolute must: Take action today to voice your opposition to SOPA. Here’s how you can do that:

Click this link to email your Representative:
http://house.gov/htbin/findrep
(Use the little envelope icon that appears to the right of the picture to send them an email.)

And click here to email your U.S. Senator:
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
(Use the “web form” link.)

Send your representatives and Senator a short message that covers the following fundamental points:

* You oppose SOPA.
* You will not support or vote for any candidate that supports SOPA.
* Urge them to vote against SOPA.

You can also call the capitol switchboard at: (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected with your representatives.

Obama may sign SOPA even if he says he opposes it

It is crucial that you take action now, because even though SOPA has been “shelved” and Obama has withdrawn his support for it, remember that Obama also promised he would veto the NDAA, yet he quietly and sneakily signed that on New Year’s Eve, stripping Americans of their due process rights (http://www.naturalnews.com/034537_NDAA_Bill_of_Rights_Obama.html).

Just because Obama says he opposes something doesn’t mean he won’t sign it! And believe me, the tactics of all these evil minions in Washington is to operate in darkness, meaning they will delay SOPA when people are paying attention but then, a few months later, after public awareness has waned, they will insidiously attach it to some spending bill and quietly make it law. One day you will wake up and all your favorite websites will simply be GONE. Remember, the government has already shut down 84,000 websites with no due process (http://torrentfreak.com/u-s-government-shuts-down-84000-websites-by-mista…).

That’s why you need to voice your opposition to SOPA right now and take a stand for internet Free Speech.

If you don’t, you may very well wake up one day and find NaturalNews.com shut down, InfoWars.com removed from the ‘net, and then your only remaining news options will be CNN, Fox, MSNBC and all the other sources of complete mind-controlled drivel that the corporate “sellout” establishment wants to drill into your head.

Finally, share this article on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. Spread the word about SOPA. Encourage others to take action. Remember: The internet is the last bastion of freedom in our modern world. If we lose the internet, the corrupt criminals and tyrants who run Wall Street and Washington D.C. will have total, unrelenting control over all information, and your freedom will be suffocated under a police state agenda of total disinformation.

Spread the word. Take action. Protect freedom! Protect the People against government censorship!

Perhaps its backlash over the hype from Kim Kardahian’s 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries, or just the normal trajectory of any unexplainable flash-in-the-pan phenomenon, but the country’s long national nightmare regarding the Kardashians might be ending. According to the New York Post anything featuring the overhyped, raven-haired reality show family is turning “absolutely toxic.” From nosediving ratings for “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” to tanking sales of magazines featuring the Kardashian clan, it appears the obsession over the camera-ready clan is ending fast.  The Post reports circulation for the gossip magazines that were once Kardashian country – Us Weekly, In Touch, Life & Style and OK! – dropped nearly 18 percent in December when any member of the clan graced their covers. The paper also points out that Kim was dropped by sneaker-maker Sketchers in 2011, and “replaced her with a French bulldog.” [ABCNews]

I DON’T WANT TO SEE THIS CLOSE KNIT, LOVING CLAN LEAVE THE TELEVISION SCREEN.

Here is some of God’s Wisdom and it makes more sense than paying farmers not to farm: Rev 3:18 ”Here’s what I want you to do: Buy your gold from me, gold that’s been through the refiner’s fire. Then you’ll be rich. Buy your clothes from me, clothes designed in Heaven. You’ve gone around half-naked long enough. And buy medicine for your eyes from me so you can see, really see.”

Matthew 11:28-30 “Then Jesus said, ”Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light.”

I assure you that I am not a HATER-AID DRINKER!  I was/I am still happy for Jennifer Hudson and her weight-loss success story. In my eyes, she was a beautiful woman before the weight-loss and now she has taken her beauty to another level, and I know exactly how that feels. I am not even mad at her for feeling like she is a “Barbie doll.”  That sentiment is all apart of looking in the mirror and loving what you see looking back at you. Or, going shopping for a size that you last wore when you were ten years old. I really do “get it.”

Here is the part that I’m struggling with, its been a minute since Jennifer lost all of her weight, yet she is still creeping in on my television screen, and the websites that I visit. She is all over the place peeping at me. Isn’t it Mariah Carey’s turn now? It makes a person want to go to Jenny Craig just to be spiteful. Enough is Enough, I think Jennifer may be better known now for her Weight Watcher’s Connection, than her singing career. Doesn’t she have a baby to raise and a fine fiancé to take care of, or at least a new movie role, or another song to sing? Oh and yes I do know how you feel!!!!  You’ve sang  it over and over again!  Bye Jennifer, and no more creeping.

The information surrounding voter identification is further proof that our politicians are not the ones governing our country. America has been sold to the highest bidder. Why after 200+ years, on the heels of the election of 2008, and just in time for the election of 2012, we have changes in our voting process that would eliminate the vote of many who were instrumental in putting the first black man in the office of the President of the United States of America. American Leaders will you ever learn! You know, I really feel for the law abiding citizens of America who simply want to have families, take good care of them, work hard, abide by the law, and live the American Dream; because the ability to do that is being siphoned from us.

(NaturalNews) A lot happened in the vaccine industry in 2011 — a year of accelerating change and increased awareness among the people. One of the big realizations that hit home in 2011 is that vaccines are far more dangerous than most people previously thought, and even conventional scientists are starting to question the over-vaccination of infants and children.

Here are the 10 biggest vaccine news stories of 2011, reported on NaturalNews.com:

#1 – Japanese children die from vaccines

Yet more evidence emerges of the deadly side effects of vaccines:
http://www.naturalnews.com/031616_v…

#2 – U.S. government recruits churches to push flu shots on congregation members

Take that flu shot, or you’ll go to Hell! That’s the new message the U.S. government is trying to pound into the heads of church pastors and priests:
http://www.naturalnews.com/034394_c…

#3 – Top CDC vaccine scientist indicted for fraud

You probably never read this story elsewhere, but one of the CDC’s top researchers was indicted for allegedly stealing vaccine research money and using it to buy fancy vehicles and a luxury home:
http://www.naturalnews.com/032216_T…

#4 – IOM admits MMR vaccines cause seizures and measles

In a groundbreaking report, the Institute of Medicine openly admitted that vaccines actually cause the very measles they claim to prevent. The mainstream media, of course, misreported this research and utterly failed to cover the real story.
http://www.naturalnews.com/033447_I…

#5 – CDC openly admits flu vaccines don’t work

Here’s news you don’t see every day: The CDC openly admits that vaccine flu shots “wear off,” meaning they simply do not work in the way vaccine-pushing immunologists told us they did.
http://www.naturalnews.com/032558_f…

#6 – Merck vaccine scientist Dr. Maurice Hilleman admits vaccines contain cancer-causing viruses

The actual admission happened decades ago, but news of it only went viral in 2011 as alternative news websites like NaturalNews publicized the once-secret audio recordings revealing shocking admissions by Dr. Maurice Hilleman.
http://www.naturalnews.com/033584_D…

#7 – HPV vaccines found contaminated with HPV!

Pretty clever, huh? Just lace the HPV vaccines with the DNA of HPV itself, and you can spread the disease to create more fear that sells more vaccines!
http://www.naturalnews.com/033585_G…

#8 – Swine flu vaccine admittedly causes neurological disorders

2011 was the year that the nation of Finland openly admitted on the record that swine flu vaccines “conclusively” cause neurological disorders. It then offered to pay the lifetime medical costs of those damaged by such vaccines.

Remember, the USA continues to absurdly claim that vaccines cause NO damage (not to anyone) and are perfectly safe for infants, children and even pregnant women!
http://www.naturalnews.com/033816_s…

#9 – Science says flu vaccines only work on 1 out of 100

Now, even the scientists can’t argue with their own science, can they? Rigorous studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals reveal that flu vaccines hardly work at all and are wasted on 98.5 out of 100 people who take them.
http://www.naturalnews.com/033998_i…

#10 – Hallmark caught distributing flu shot compliance cards to new moms

Yes, even the Hallmark card company is now pushing vaccines. Plotting alongside state agencies in Florida, Colorado and elsewhere, the company pushes out cutesy flu shot “compliance” cards that urge new moms to have their newborn babies injected with dozens of combination vaccines, complete with mercury and chemical adjuvants that cause neurological disorders:

(NaturalNews) Throughout 2011, health freedoms were under attack as both state and federal governments deliberately sought to criminalize foods, mandate vaccine injections and arrest parents who refused to subject their children to toxic conventional medical care.

Here are the top 10 health freedom stories of 2011, all reported here on NaturalNews:

#1 – Rawesome Foods infiltrated by FDA agents, then raided at gunpoint while government goons destroyed $50,000+ in wholesome food

It almost sounds like something out of North Korea, doesn’t it? But it took place in Venice, California, where ego-maniac California Dept. of Agriculture agents conducted an armed raid, confiscated raw milk, then poured it all down the drain, thereby denying nutrition to the hungry infants and toddlers whose parents regularly buy that food. In a nation where children go hungry every day, it is especially notable that the government actively destroys food right in front of the citizens.

It didn’t take long before the California “goons and tyrants” squad was outed, and we posted their names and employment details online: http://www.naturalnews.com/033318_g…

Here are the key stories that reported on the Rawesome Foods raid as well as a timeline of FDA raids against farmers and food producers:

http://www.naturalnews.com/033280_F…

#2 – California Gov. Jerry Brown legalizes 12-year-old children to give “consent” to deadly vaccines.

In a particularly insidious Big Brother power grab that cut parents out of the loop when it comes to injecting children with vaccines, Gov. Jerry Brown cemented his place in history as one of the most irrational, whored-out Big Pharma needle-slingers ever observed.

Thanks to Jerry “the vaccine pimp” Brown, hundreds of children will die in 2012 from HPV vaccines, and countless thousands will be neurologically damaged, forced to live out their lives as cripples. This is the new Jerry Brown legacy: Neurologically damaged children, lying half-dead in hospitals, screaming for help from a state that seems quite content to just murder them with bad medicine.
http://www.naturalnews.com/033831_J…

#3 – Detroit SWAT team threatens Maryanne Godboldo while state steals her child, then rapes her.

Detroit mom Maryanne Godboldo had a hellish year in 2011, first with the state demanding to kidnap her daughter because Maryanne refused to keep drugging her with psychiatric drugs. When the cops came to forcibly kidnap her daughter at gunpoint, Maryanne said no (no means no, doesn’t it?), so the cops brought in the SWAT team for a 12-hour standoff. Maryanne was charged with multiple felony counts and her teenage daughter was taken away, where she was raped by state employees and infected with a sexually-transmitted disease. This is called “juvenile caregiving” in Detroit.

Thanks in large part to the outcry from the alternative news media like NaturalNews and InfoWars, all charges were eventually dropped against Maryanne and her daughter was returned to her.

#4 – FDA tries to outlaw virtually all dietary supplements with new NDI regulations

2011 was the year the FDA unleashed its “nuclear option” against dietary supplements, attempting to outlaw virtually all such products by requiring supplement companies to seek “approval” for each ingredient they use in every formulated product they offer. If they use vitamin C in 10 products, for example, they would have to apply to the FDA for vitamin C approval ten times. Each application would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in research and effort, and the FDA could simply reject them all without any reason whatsoever.

This is how the FDA plans to put the entire natural products industry out of business, thereby forcing sick, diseased Americans to buy prescription medications that only make them even more diseased. (Repeat business, see?)
http://www.naturalnews.com/032912_F…

#5 – EU bans health claim that water prevents dehydration

In one of the most moronic anti health freedom stories of the year, the European Union ruled against the laws of nature and declared that water cannot prevent or treat dehydration. This decision was widely ridiculed across the internet, and it made the EU look even more ridiculous than anyone thought possible. (The average IQ of a bureaucrat in Brussels, it seems, is roughly equal to the winter temperature there. In Celsius!)
It also made millions realize more clearly why the EU is on the verge of collapse. No political union run by a cabal of babbling idiots in Brussels can possibly survive the test of time. And if they’re uncontrollably IQ-impaired when considering the properties of an ordinary substance like water, imagine how idiotic their economic policies must be!
http://www.naturalnews.com/034204_w…

#6 – US Supreme Court surrenders its power to special vaccine court

2011 was the year that the Supreme Court declared it isn’t supreme after all. Rather, it is subservient to the government-run vaccine court that functions as a “hush money” handout program to keep parents silent about how their children have been ravaged, maimed and even killed by vaccines.
http://www.naturalnews.com/031453_S…

#7 – The Raw Milk Freedom Riders commit heinous food crimes right in front of FDA headquarters

In an act of civil disobedience, the Raw Milk Freedom Riders (www.RawMilkFredomRiders.com) openly committed “raw milk crimes” right in front of the FDA headquarters. (Gosh!)

Operating a caravan of “terrorist” mini vans stuffed full of moms and children, they openly consumed raw milk and cookies and demanded to be arrested by FDA tyrants. The FDA, predictably, did nothing, proving that their raw milk laws are so un-principled that they will never enforce them in broad daylight.

A few weeks later, however, the mainstream media did run a bunch of stories warning people about the terrible health dangers of raw cookie dough. So I guess they really are terrorists after all, huh? Milk AND cookies! That’s like a terror weapon in each hand…
http://www.naturalnews.com/034027_r…

By the way, the FDA operates a network of undercover spies and infiltration agents who slink around like Gollum, muttering things to themselves and using spy cameras to film raw milk distribution centers:
http://www.naturalnews.com/033428_F…

#8 – Collecting rainwater now illegal in many U.S. states

Although we first published this story in 2010, it experience a resurgence of popularity in 2011, achieving nearly 100,000 Facebook shares as it went viral across the ‘net.

What was the story about? How states like Utah, Colorado and Washington have taken steps to criminalize rainwater collection and thereby force citizens to rely on government-provided water sources (which are intentionally contaminated with chlorine and fluoride, by the way, just to poison people a little more).

#9 – Vegan parents in France charged with murdering their breastfed child

If you avoid toxic infant formula products and processed foods, you may be considered an enemy of the state! Only criminal parents dare to raise their children on wholesome, nutritious raw breast milk and unrefined plant-based food sources, didn’t you know? Vegans must be terrorists, too!
http://www.naturalnews.com/031883_v…

#10 – California ballot initiative aims to require mandatory labeling of GMOs

Finally, there’s some good news on the health freedom front. A group of activists has organized a fairly well-funded effort to force food companies to label the GMO content of all food products sold in California. Led by activists like Ronnie Cummins (Organic Consumers Association) and Jeffrey Smith (Institute for Responsible Technology), this effort will be viciously attacked in 2012 by food companies who are scrambling to keep American consumers totally ignorant about the GMO content of their foods.

They don’t want people to know the truth about GMOs, you see, so they claim GMO labeling would “confuse” consumers. Actually, it would enlighten them! And it would force food companies to stop buying GMOs altogether, thereby ending the demand for GMOs and causing farmers to plant non-GMO crops. That’s the whole point, of course:
http://www.naturalnews.com/033763_G…

NaturalNews, by the way, matched $15,000 in donations to the IRT from NaturalNews readers, achieving a total donation of over $30,000 to help fight GMOs. Throughout 2011, in fact, we made several key donations, and our non-profit Consumer Wellness Center awarded multi-thousand-dollar nutrition education grants to help teach women and children about nutrition:
http://www.naturalnews.com/034449_C…

According to the study, which was summarized by Rady Ananda at Food Freedom, “Three varieties of Monsanto’s GM corn – Mon 863, insecticide-producing Mon 810, and Roundup® herbicide-absorbing NK 603 – were approved for consumption by US, European and several other national food safety authorities.” [SOURCE].

We start from the bottom because it’s where we are needed the most and, as co-founder and activist, Barbara Guillaume, says: “If we can change the worst of Haiti we can change all of Haiti.”

WE ADVANCE models an inclusive grassroots approach with a movement that collaborates with both other organizations and women from every socio-economic class.

WE ADVANCE brings in volunteer experts to train local community leaders in the aspects of health, safety and education.

WE ADVANCE’s goal is to, in the near future, leave our programs in the hands of Haitian women, the women who know best what they need and how to make it a reality.
