Never Ever Use the Word Inflation – EVER!


Last night, I was watching a mainstream media “news” story about inflation. The word inflation was never used. The correspondent discussed every aspect of cost increases and danced a beautiful word-dance, of course with a gigantic, glowing smile but never once addressed the elephant in the room. I explained to my wife that the correspondent is not allowed to use the word inflation as that would send shivers down the spine of the masses. It would also send all the people on a fixed income, like Social Security, to the local office to demand a larger cost of living raise. We can’t have that, better to starve them to death than to tell the truth. The truth was disguised as “smaller packages,” “less product” and every other form of Orwellian double-speak you can think of. Does anyone question what the story is about? Does anyone understand the story is telling you point blank that inflation is running at 10% or higher?
Here is a prime example of the current double-speak that is being spewed by public relations people at the mega food companies only to be parroted by the MSM for mass consumption.
Minute Maid juice boxes had gone from 6.75 ounces to 6 ounces, but the price has stayed at $3.49.

Minute Maid told ABC News in a statement: “We are not immune to adverse impacts on our brands such as increasing commodity, fuel, packaging, and fruit costs. Earlier this year we introduced the 6 oz. package size for our juice boxes. The adjusted size allowed the business to successfully maintain retail prices amidst rising input costs while still providing preferred sizing for the category.” [source]
The example above is describing 12.5% inflation. Imagine what would happen if people actually understood the juice box just went up by 12.5% instead of being described as a decrease. A decrease, smaller, lighter all words that the presstitute media uses to point the mind away from the problem and to the rainbow spewing unicorn dancing into the sunset. Don’t you feel better getting a smaller, lighter box of Monsanto juice for the same cost? What would happen if social security checks were to increase by, just to be conservative, 8% as a cost-of-living raise? What impact would that have on our economy? How would we–the taxpayers–afford it? If we were to raise social security benefits by 8%, that would mean the taxpayers income would plunge by the same amount. Where else would the funding materialize? China is no longer funding our debt, Russia is dumping our debt and Japan, and well they have much bigger issues than purchasing our debt. So, where would the funding come from? I have an idea. MyRA.
The point is, the presstitute media shows images of smaller packages (better), with less product (better) and reduced sizes (better). All trigger words for living a better, healthier lifestyle. The dumb-down society shakes their collective head and agrees, less is better! The real issue is never discussed, and it certainly will never, ever be spoken. I am grateful the Main stream media is at least demonstrating to people the packages are getting smaller, there is a reduction in ounces per package and the price did not go down. What is disgusting is the level of ignorance that our society has reached within my lifetime. It is a sad day when garbage information is accepted as filet mignon and the diner requests seconds.
If you still believe inflation is running at somewhere around 2% as reported over and over by the federal government and espoused by the presstitute media, check the size of the package, check the number of ounces and don’t forget to count the number of servings per container. Where I live, one of the soda bottling companies stopped producing the 24 ounce size bottle. It has been replaced with a 16 ounce for the same price. That represents 33% inflation. What I personally see is a reduction in product by various means and what I am experiencing is inflation running between 8% and 33%. This is not sustainable.
Here’s the happy, rainbow, spewing unicorn video version. Notice the implied smiley face in the freeze frame before the video starts–see the apples making a smiley face? Accident? I don’t think so.

U.S. Government Ties El Salvador USD 277 M Aid Package to Monsanto’s GMO Seeds

U.S. Government Ties El Salvador USD 277 M Aid Package to Monsanto's GMO Seeds
It has come to light that the U.S. government is withholding $277 million in aid money from El Salvador in order to pressure it to accept Monsanto's GM seeds.
The President of the El Salvadoran Center for Appropriate Technologies (CESTA), Ricardo Navarro, has demanded that the U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador, Mari Carmen Aponte, stops pressurizing the Government of El Salvador to buy Monsanto's GM seeds rather than non-GMO seeds from domestic suppliers.
"I would like to tell the U.S. Ambassador to stop pressuring the Government (of El Salvador) to buy 'improved' GM seeds," said Navarro, which is only of benefit to U.S. multinationals and is to the detriment of local seed production, Verdad Digital reported last week.
In recent weeks, the U.S. has been pushing the El Salvadoran Government to sign the second Millennium Challenge Compact. One of the main conditions on the agreement is allegedly for the purchasing of GM seeds from Monsanto.

At the end of 2013 it was announced that without 'specific' economic and environmental policy reforms, the U.S. government would not provide El Salvador with $277 million in aid money through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).
The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is a U.S. foreign aid agency that was created by the U.S. Congress in January 2004. According to the MCC they "have changed the conversation on how best to deliver 'smart' U.S. foreign assistance by focusing on 'good' policies."
It is now clear that by 'specific reforms' the MCC means reforms that allow GM crops and their associated pesticides to be forced on El Salvador's Government and citizens.
Is it a coincidence that the MCC delayed its initial agreed aid payments following the announcement by the El Salvador Government that they were banning the use of Glyphosate (Roundup) and 52 other dangerous chemicals in September 2013?
Glyphosate (Roundup) herbicide sales are the main money earner for the Biotech industry worldwide and the chemical is also the base of the whole system that allows GM Crops to be grown.
The El Salvadoran Government's ban on Glyphosate came amidst a mysterious kidney disease that is killing thousands of the region's agricultural laborers. Central America's health ministries signed a declaration in March 2013 citing the ailment as a top public health priority and committing to a series of steps to combat its reach, the Center of Public Intergrity revealed.
Over the last two years, the Center for Public Integrity has examined how a rare type of chronic kidney disease (CKDu) is killing thousands of agricultural workers along Central America's Pacific Coast, as well as in Sri Lanka and India. Scientists have yet to definitively uncover the cause of the malady, although emerging evidence points to toxic heavy metals contained in pesticides as a potential culprit.
Sri Lankan scientist Dr Jayasumana recently released a study in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health that proposes a link between Roundup (aka Glyphosate) and CKDu.
"There is a harmful corporation on the planet called Monsanto ...  it is truly disturbing that the U.S. is trying to promote them ..." concluded Navarro, who hopes that the Members of the El Salvadoran Legislative Assembly do not accept any manipulation by the U.S.

Natural News tests flu vaccine for heavy metals, finds 25,000 times higher mercury level than EPA limit for water

Mercury tests conducted on vaccines at the Natural News Forensic Food Lab have revealed a shockingly high level of toxic mercury in an influenza vaccine (flu shot) made by GlaxoSmithKline (lot #9H2GX). Tests conducted via ICP-MS document mercury in the Flulaval vaccine at a shocking 51 parts per million, or over 25,000 times higher than the maximum contaminant level of inorganic mercury in drinking water set by the EPA.(1)

The tests were conducted via ICP-MS using a 4-point mercury calibration curve for accuracy. Even then, the extremely high level of mercury found in this flu shot was higher than anything we've ever tested, including tuna and ocean fish which are known for high mercury contamination.

In fact, the concentration of mercury found in this GSK flu shot was 100 times higher than the highest level of mercury we've ever tested in contaminated fish. And yet vaccines are injected directly into the body, making them many times more toxic than anything ingested orally. As my previous research into foods has already documented, mercury consumed orally is easily blocked by eating common foods like strawberries or peanut butter, both of which bind with and capture about 90% of dietary mercury.

Here are the actual results of what we found in the influenza vaccine from GSK (lot #9H2GX):

Aluminum: 0.4 ppm
Arsenic: zero
Cadmium: zero
Lead: zero
Mercury: 51 ppm

All tests were conducted via calibrated, high-end ICP-MS instrumentation as shown in these lab videos.

Doctors, pharmacists and mainstream media continue to lie about mercury in vaccines

As you take in the scientifically-validated fact that mercury exists at very high concentrations in flu vaccines, keep in mind that most doctors, pharmacists and members of the mainstream media continue to stage an elaborate lie that claims mercury has "already been removed from vaccines."

Never mind the fact that the use of mercury is admitted right on the package containing the vaccine vial. And now, Natural News has scientifically confirmed the mercury content of flu vaccines using high-end laboratory instrumentation. The existence of high mercury in flu shots is irrefutable.

Anyone who claims mercury has been removed from all vaccines is either wildly ignorant or willfully lying. And anyone who would knowingly allow themselves to be injected with mercury is probably already a victim of the kind of brain damage well known to be caused by mercury.

Insert admits "no controlled trials"

Shockingly, the package insert for this flu shot readily admits the vaccine has never been subjected to scientific clinical trials:

"There have been no controlled trials adequately demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with Flulaval," the package insert claims in tiny text (that no one reads).

This is printed right on the insert, yet no one in the mainstream media will ever report this astonishing admission. This statement, all by itself, is a confession that flu shot marketing is a fraud.

Across the board, flu shots are heavily propagandized and promoted with the implication that they have zero risks while offering 100% protection. No one in the mainstream media ever questions this claim even though the package insert openly admits the claim is complete hokum and has never been subjected to scientific scrutiny.

No evidence of safety or effectiveness in pregnant women

But that's not all the insert admits. It also says:

"Safety and effectiveness of Flulaval have not been established in pregnant women, nursing mothers or children."

And yet everywhere you go in America, there's a Walgreens, CVS or Wal-Mart pharmacy promoting flu shots for pregnant women. Never mind the fact that flu shot safety has never been established in pregnant women, and never mind the obvious fact that you should never inject a pregnant women with mercury in the first place!

Who needs scientific proof when you've got the full propaganda of the media and the government to back you up? Anyone who dares question the scientific validity of flu shot safety for pregnant women is immediately attacked as being an opponent of all vaccines.

Apparently, the only requirement to be accepted by the vaccine community is to believe in medical fairy tales while abandoning all critical thinking and scientific skepticism. In the vaccine industry, genuine science is simply not allowed. No wonder two former Merck virologists filed a False Claims Act with the federal government, accusing the company of knowingly fabricating its vaccine efficacy data to trick the FDA.

Never proven safe or effective in children, either

Flu shots are heavily promoted for children, right alongside mumps and measles vaccines. But it turns out flu shots are never scientifically tested for safety or efficacy in children.

Check out what the insert for this vaccine directly admits:

"Safety and effectiveness of Flulaval in pediatric patients have not been established."

It's right there in black and white... an open admission. Yet flu shots are aggressively marketed to parents and children as if they were Tic-Tacs. The real beauty of the entire vaccine industry scam is that no scientific evidence is required! You don't have to have any proof, all you have to do is believe in vaccines as a matter of faith.

Never tested for cancer risk

Do flu shots cause cancer? The honest, scientific answer is that these shots are never tested for that. As the insert readily admits:

"Flulaval has not been evaluated for carcinogenic or mutagenic potential, or for impairment of fertility."

Believe it or not, the Flulaval vaccine also warns that no one should be given this shot if they've already received another flu shot at some previous time:

"Do not administer Flulaval to anyone... following previous administration of any influenza vaccine."

And yet, amazingly, people are encouraged to get flu shots year after year, even though the package insert directly warns against anyone taking a series of influenza vaccines.

Admission that flu shots contain formaldehyde and sodium deoxycholate

The same insert that admits this vaccine has never been proven safe in children or pregnant women also openly admits that it contains neurotoxic chemicals.

Per the insert, each dose of Flulaval contains up to 25 mcg of formaldehyde (a neurotoxin) and up to 50 mcg of sodium deoxycholate.

This is on top of the 25 mcg of mercury you'll get in every dose. And remember, this is mercury that's injected directly into your body, so you absorb 100% of this mercury (unlike mercury you eat, where most of it sticks to food fibers and is transported out of your body).

Total admission that flu shots cause seizures, convulsions and Guillian-Barre syndrome

Ever wonder what all these toxic chemicals and heavy metals cause in humans? Flu shots vaccines, it turns out, are already known to cause a huge number of devastating health effects.

Predictably, there is a massive disinfo campaign across the mainstream media, Wikipedia, medical journals and government propaganda agencies (CDC, FDA, etc.) to pretend that flu shots have no risks whatsoever. Yet the insert that comes with the vaccine openly admits the flu shot has been linked with a long, frightening list of serious adverse effects. As this Flulaval insert says (see photo below):

"In addition to reports in clinical trials, the following adverse events have been identified during postapproval use of Flulaval...

vomiting
chest pain
allergic edema of the mouth
anaphylaxis
laryngitis
cullulitis
muscle weakness
arthritis
dizziness
paresthesia
tremor
somnolence
Guillian-Barre syndrome
convulsions / seizures
facial or cranial nerve paralysis
encephalopathy
limb paralysis
insomnia
dyspnea
sweating"

Here's a photo of this section of the package insert, complete with the GlaxoSmithKline toll-free phone number:



If you take flu shots, you are being poisoned by quacks

The upshot of all this is that flu shots utterly lack any scientific evidence of safety of efficacy. We don't know if they work at all, in other words, and neither does the vaccine manufacturer. Neither do the doctors or medical staff who administer them. Flu vaccines are injected into people purely as a matter of blind faith in the very same companies that have already been convicted of felony crimes.

GlaxoSmithKline, for example, not only manufacturers this Flulaval vaccine... the company also committed multiple felony crimes and got caught bribing doctors, ultimately agreeing to pay a multi-billion-dollar criminal settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice.

Trusting a flu shot made by a corporation of felons is a lot like trusting the purity of heroin you buy from a street dealer. Both flu shots and street heroin have at least one thing in common, by the way: neither has ever been tested for safety.

We also know that flu shots contain neurotoxic chemicals and heavy metals in alarming concentrations. This is irrefutable scientific fact. We also know that there is no "safe" form of mercury just like there is no safe form of heroin -- all forms of mercury are highly toxic when injected into the body (ethyl, methyl, organic, inorganic).

The only people who argue with this are those who are already mercury poisoned and thus incapable of rational thought. Mercury damages brain function, you see, which is exactly what causes some people to be tricked into thinking vaccines are safe and effective.

Technically, you'd have to be stupid to believe such a thing, as the vaccine insert directly tells you precisely the opposite.

Share this story, spread the truth

Share this story with everyone who needs to know the truth about flu vaccines. This message needs to get out. Every fact stated in this article is 100% true and verified. The quotes from the Flulaval package insert are on-the-record statements from GlaxoSmithKline.

And for the record, I am not an opponent of the theory of vaccination. What I'm against is the continued use of toxic heavy metals and chemicals in vaccines. I'm also opposed to the wildly fraudulent marketing of vaccines. If any other product were marketed with the same lies and deceptions as vaccines, they would be immediately charged with fraud and misrepresentation by the FTC. But somehow when the vaccine industry commits routine fraud, everybody pretends it isn't happening.

Even with all the marketing fraud taking place, if the vaccine manufacturers would stop poisoning the population with vaccine additives (by removing mercury, formaldehyde and other chemicals from their products), nearly all opposition to vaccines would rapidly disappear.

Honor student charged with 2 felonies for making a volcano as science experiment

Kiera Wilmot
Kiera Wilmot
BARTOW, FL — A 16-year-old girl was arrested and expelled from school after she demonstrating the traditional ‘erupting volcano’ in class as a science experiment.   Even a year later, she is still being haunted by the multiple felonies she was charged with.
Kiera Wilmot’s volcano was designed to demonstrate a chemical reaction simulating a volcanic eruption.  Inside her volcano prop, was an 8-ounce water bottle with some toilet bowl cleaner in it.  When the cleaner is exposed to aluminum, it creates an exothermic chemical reaction.
Her experiment got her in serious trouble on April 29th, 2013.
“When I put the aluminum foil into the bottle, the lid popped off an a little bit of smoke climbed out of the bottle,” Kiera described.
No one was hurt. No damage was caused. No harm was done.
“The principal asked what was going on, and I told him it was just a little science experiment,” Kiera continued.  She was pulled out of class and led to the office by a school resource officer.
“They didn’t read me any rights,” Kiera said to the Huffington Post.  “They arrested me after sitting in the office for a couple minutes. They handcuffed me. It cut my wrist, and really hurt sitting on my hands behind my back.”
She was charged with possession/discharge of a weapon on school grounds, and discharging a destructive device, both felonies.
“She is a good kid,” said Bartow High School principal Ron Pritchard to WTSP. “She has never been in trouble before. Ever.”
Despite the principal conceding that it was obvious that Wilmot meant no harm, she was expelled anyway.   Wilmot was punished to send a message to other students that their zero tolerance policies were to be enforced, whether the situation makes sense or not.  As the school published in a press release:
“Anytime a student makes a bad choice it is disappointing to us. Unfortunately, the incident that occurred at Bartow High School yesterday was a serious breach of conduct. In order to maintain a safe and orderly learning environment, we simply must uphold our code of conduct rules. We urge our parents to join us in conveying the message that there are consequences to actions. We will not compromise the safety and security of our students and staff.”
The felonies she faced, if convicted, presented a prospect of years in prison and a jeopardized future.

Watch a video on Kiera’s situation here:
Although prosecutors eventually declined to pursue Kiera as a criminal, the charges themselves continue to taint Kiera’s record and impede her future success.
“All my charges have been dropped, but the lawyer says that it takes 5 years to clear each felony off the record,” Kiera said.
The Advancement Project is presenting Wilmot’s story as an example of what they call the “School-to-Prison Pipeline.”
Still unclear about how this incident will affect her future, Wilmot wants to be an engineer “building robots that can do tasks like surgeries or driving cars.”

Police give elderly man drug charges after pharmacy issues incorrect prescription

(Source: Shutterstock)
(Source: Shutterstock)
BURLINGTON, WI — Police were asked to retrieve a bottle of pills that hat been incorrectly issued to an elderly patient.  When the 83-year-old man asked that police “sign for” the pills before leaving his home, the officer became violent and threw him to the ground and arrested him on felony charges of drug possession and theft.  His 76-year-old-wife also received a knee to the back as she was arrested and charged with obstructing.
* * * * *

Pharmacy Mishap

The ordeal happened on January 8th, 2013, when Robert Cirpinski, 83, sent his wife Beverly to pick up a prescription for medication used to treat a chronic stomach ailment.
Mr. Cirpinski was under a doctor’s care and had been previously prescribed different pharmaceutical drugs to relieve his symptoms, including hydrocodone for pain.   However, although Cirpinski’s doctor had issued the hydrocodone prescription, he had called the pharmacy to request that it not be filled at that time, while other treatments were being explored.  However, a miscommunication occurred and the pharmacy technicians did not honor the hold on the medication.
When Beverly Cirpinski, 76, was sent to the pharmacy to fill her husband’s prescriptions, she was unaware of the extra bottle that the pharmacists had waiting to be picked up.   The Journal Times detailed what happened next:
“The pain clinic called me and said there’s a prescription over there to be picked up in an hour or so,” he said. “I wasn’t feeling so good so I sent my wife over. I said I only had one prescription. The clerk behind the counter said (to his wife) ‘no, you have two.’ ”
The pharmacy clerk told Beverly Cirpinski the new, non-narcotic cost $6 and the other — for hydrocodone — was $45, he said. But that posed a problem.
The pharmacist “said she’d call the company to see if they could reduce (the hydrocodone’s cost) because my wife only had $30. They reduced it to $23,” Robert Cirpinski explained.
And when his wife came home from the Burlington pharmacy with both prescriptions, “I said ‘that’s not right.’ ” But he staunchly maintains he never opened the hydrocodone bottle.
Beverly says that in order to reduce the price of the bottle, the pharmacist removed 6 pills.   This point would only add to the confusion once the government was involved, aggressively trying to sort it out.

Served and Protected

When the pharmacy supervisors realized that the Do-Not-Fill request was ignored by pharmacy staff, they knew they had a problem on their hands.  The government is rabidly against citizens receiving pain treatment without permission.  The clinic immediately phoned the Cirpinskis as well as the police.
Multiple Burlington Police officers were dispatched to the Cirpinski home to retrieve the mistakenly issued bottle.  They demanded the elderly couple relinquish the bottle.  Mr. Cirpinski felt uncomfortable handing off the bottle without documentation, so he requested that the officer sign a statement that she had received the drugs.
“I said ‘you can have it if you sign for it,’” Mr. Cirpinski recalled, according to the Times.   “Not that you’re not trustworthy, but it’s a drug. He (the police sergeant) said, ‘I don’t sign for anything.’”
Mr. Cirpinski stated that the officer then tried to grab him, but he pulled back.  The officer then “grabbed me and threw me to the floor, put my arms behind my back.”
Mr. Cirpinski said after he was handcuffed, officers “begin to handle” his wife.  She was allegedly thrown down, received a knee to the back, and handcuffed.
Police charged Mr. Cirpinski with felony narcotics possession, theft (of the “missing” pills), and resisting arrest.  Beverly was charged with obstructing police.

Justice Served

Mr. and Mrs. Cirpinski, on top of their health problems, both faced months of legal struggles, and the real potential for going to jail.  Robert’s felony charge could easily send him to prison.  Despite the ridiculousness of the situation, the charges remained in place.
The pharmacy, which seemingly caused this screw-up, refused to comment when requested repeatedly by the Journal Times.
Finally, after about 5 months of stress and legal expense, police finally dropped the charge against Beverly.  However, Robert was not pardoned so easily.
Facing the prospect of enduring a trial and potential imprisonment — which would be physically difficult for him given his medical conditions — he accepted a deal.  He pleaded ‘no contest’ to 2 misdemeanors, so that the felony charge against him would be dropped.  Now the 83-year-old man has a criminal record of theft and resisting police.   A judge ordered him to be placed on legal probation until 2015.
“They dropped the felony charge of the prescription (medication). I’m not supposed to harass the police people,” Cirpinski told The Journal Times. “I guess I can’t do anything for a year.”
Although he avoided jail, the situation still angers Mr. Cirpinski a year later.
“I don’t like that people tell lies about me. It really burns me,” he said.
 * * * * *
While it is disturbing that police followed through with the arrests, and prosecutors lacked the integrity to immediately drop all charges against Mr. and Mrs. Cirpinski, the root cause of the problem runs deeper than that.
The injustice stems back to the government’s violent aversion to freedom of choice in medicine.  The fact that the government dispatches armed officers against people suspected of medicating themselves without government permission is an injustice in and of itself.   This common prohibitionist policy presents countless opportunities for government violence against Americans and must be ceased.

SWAT team throws concussion grenade into baby playpen during no-knock raid


(Source: WSBTV)(Source: WSBTV)
CORNELIA, GA — A SWAT crashed through a family’s door in the middle of the night and threw a concussion grenade into a baby’s playpen.   A 19-month-old baby was horribly disfigured when it exploded in his face. 
Alecia Phonesavanh and her family were staying at a friend’s house after their home had been lost in a fire.   The makeshift living arrangements left their 19-month-old baby boy sleeping in a playpen in a shared room.  Things were going OK until the local government decided to send paramilitary home invaders to unleash indiscriminate violence upon the home and anyone inside.
(Source: WSBTV)
(Source: WSBTV)
The raid took place just before 3:00 a.m. on May 28th.  Without warning, members of the Habersham County Special Response Team burst into the home.

“Everyone’s sleeping. There’s a loud bang and a bright light,” said the baby’s mother to WSBTV.  “The cops threw that grenade in the door without looking first and it landed right in the playpen and exploded on his pillow right in his face.”
The sleeping baby received the blast of the concussion grenade directly in the chest and face.  He received serious, disfiguring burns and is now in a coma.  The blast scorched a 2-foot hole in the playpen.

“He’s in the burn unit. We go up to see him and his whole face is ripped open. He has a big cut on his chest,” Phonesavanh said to WSBTV. “He’s only 19 months old. He didn’t do anything.”
The armed berserkers were raiding the home on a suspicion that someone inside had used substances without government permission.  To make sure that all the wannabe-warriors go home safe at night, they attack their prey in the middle of the night and use incendiary devices to “distract” (and sometimes maim) the occupants.

Habersham County Sheriff Joey Terrell says this is exactly how he wants his raiders to perform, and has no qualms about performing identical raids on residents in his county in the future.
(Perhaps Terrell should have a concussion grenade land in HIS bed and see how he fairs!)
“The door that we entered was the door that we bought dope out of – that’s why entered at that door,” Terrell said. “Our team went by the book. Given the same scenario, we’ll do the same thing again. I stand behind what our team did.”

“We keep asking ourselves, ‘how did this happen?’,” Terrell callously continued. “No one can answer that – you can’t answer that. You try and do everything right. Bad things can happen. That’s just the world we live in. Bad things happen to good people.”

The casualties of the War on Drugs are not as unavoidable as Sheriff Terrell wants people to believe.  Had the government not violently intervened, the toddler would be OK.  The prohibition against plants and substances poses a far greater threat to Americans than allowing them to have the freedom to purchase and ingest things without government oversight.  So long as state-sanctioned violence is used to prevent people from getting high, so too will the needless bloodshed of innocents.

But don’t expect Prohibition Part II to end while drug warriors like Sheriff Terrell are in charge.  He went on to say that he believes drug crime tantamount to terrorism.

“The person I blame in this whole thing is the person selling the drugs,”  the sheriff continued.  “They don’t care about what it does to families.  It’s domestic terrorism and I think we should treat them as such.

“We hate that this happened,” Terrell said. “This tears our soul out, but we cannot stop standing up and being the thin blue line against those who don’t care about, who want to do the domestic terrorism and sell dope and make the money. We’re still going to stand between them and still do our job – we’ve got to.”
