NYT reports more Pharma scams...breast cancer propaganda


These so called scientific studies and expert articles are being controlled by the drug companies.....it is wide spread and includes lead Harvard doctors(Biederman), NPR radio show hosts...now drug make Wyeth....it goes on and on. The level of crap that we are bombarded with from drud TV ads to our confused family doctors is obscene. More than ever you must be pro-active to protect your family...especially since the FDA is caught up in this growing scandal. Here is a good place to start...go there after you read the TIMES article. Citizens for Health
Wyeth, the pharmaceutical company, paid ghostwriters to produce medical journal articles favorable to its female hormone replacement therapy Prempro, according to Congressional letters seeking more information about the company’s involvement in medical ghostwriting. At least one article was published even after a federal study found the drug raised the risk of breast cancer.

Health Care Battles..get your facts Early


Be prepared for a lot of scare stemming from insurance and Pharma industry when it come to any health care innovative reform. They are the biggest pigs at the trough with the most to lose. People need to rise up and support mandatory health care for every person. People en mass need to reject propaganda and fear tactics from BIG Business. Here are some recent articles you should get familiar with.

Health Industry Finds strategy to influence the Public
"Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) recently summed up the dilemma in an interview with Politico, saying, "The big thing for Republicans is to communicate that it is not acceptable for 40 million people in America not to have health insurance. But it's also unacceptable to turn our whole health care system over to the same people who ran Katrina and ran the Iraq war and [are] running the bailout.""

Melamine and FDA protection(er Lack of)
There are three things you need to understand about this issue: First, after the melamine scandal broke in China and sickened tens of thousands of babies, the FDA assured the American people that U.S. infant formula products were 100% safe and contained no melamine.

They were wrong.

Secondly, when the FDA's own tests discovered melamine contamination in U.S. infant formula products, it actively sought to hide the test results from the public. It only disclosed the test results after being forced to do so by a FOIA petition filed by the Associated Press. (We gotta thank AP for doing this, by the way. Nice job on their part!)

Thirdly, once the melamine contamination results were made public, the FDA abruptly announced that 1ppm (or less) of melamine in infant formula was suddenly "safe." This decision was based on no science whatseover and was obviously a panicked defense of the U.S. infant formula manufacturers whose products are contaminated with melamine.

Autism and Vaccines"
Truth will always prevail...it can be manipulated and delayed by those motivated by greed and malice...but the souls of humanity will prevail. Age of autism provides great up to date info...here is some latest info....read it..
....
the list of scientists, doctors, public health officials and government leaders who now believe that a vaccine-autism connection is at the least possible, and should be researched further.

Earlier this week, Dr. Peter Fletcher, former Chief Scientific Officer at the UK Department of Health was added. Now, eight more prominent researchers have joined the group. (See list below – they are the last eight names added)."

Trickle Down Affect???
Big Pharma Conspiracy: Doctors Regularly Bribed
So when your local doc wants to put your kids on heavy drugs...he was most likely influenced un-wittingly by the top dogs at places like Harvard. So when you present a question or a concern, The docs will quip..."don't believe everything you read on the Internet!" because they perused their medical journal that was bought and paid for by big business...ask questions!
"....the Harvard researchers have also pushed for the aggressive treatment of the disease with antipsychotics, which are not licensed for such a use. The discovery that those same researchers concealed massive payments from the drug industry has cast further doubt on their motivations, and has led many to wonder if too many children are now being diagnosed and treated with potentially dangerous drugs...."

Gardisil & Genital Warts & Vacci-Nation




Another wonder drug is available from Merck, it is called Gardisil I guess it is supposed to prevent HPV or better known as genital warts...yikes, and some strains of HPV may cause cervical cancer. about 3700 women die each year from this type of cancer and is ranked 10th on the list of deadly cancers for women.

I read an article from Natural news about how the vaccine is triggering genital warts for those vaccinated and my courious nature decided to dig around, partly because I am already skeptical of the about the fervent marketing and push to vaccinate. natural news says..."Vaccine No Guarantee Against Cell Abnormalities
"Hundreds of thousands of women who are vaccinated with Gardasil and get yearly pap testing will still get high-grade dysplasia (cell abnormalities)," Ragogo reports. It's not a cancer vaccine, as media hype may lead some people to believe."


The juiciest info came from Judicial watch....they sue the FDA to release documents under the freedom of information act...and what they outline is very frightening!!!

read the entire 24 page summary here

Here is what I gleaned...

---thousands have had adverse reactions...and death after recieving the vaccine.

---it is very expensive and may cost billions of taxpayer money to vaccinate young girls

---Gardasil is not 100% effective against all HPVs. It is designed to protect against only four strains of HPV, even though there are over thirty strainsincluding at least fifteen that can cause cancer

---Gardisil was fast tracked (6 months)and testing is still being done..

---there are serious concerns as to its affect on female fertility

---Finally it doesnt cure or prevent cancer!!

these are serious issues...I would not get this shot or recomend it. I would respect a persons choice to have it if they had all the information...you know...INFORMED CONSENT! but we dont and the big Pharma makes insidious marketing campaigns using fear and deciet. OH did I use the word choice earlier?? States are making this vaccine mandatory...it is for people wanting to get into this country.....


"Despite growing reports of serious and even fatal reactions to the human papillomavirus ( HPV) vaccine, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that people from other countries who want to become legal permanent residents of the US are required to have the HPV vaccination to protect against cervical cancer."source

And what about the boys??....

..."According to an article in the UK Telegraph, Dr. Paul Yeo, a virologist from Durham University, is warning that unless young boys are given the HPV vaccine, girls who receive the vaccine could become infected after the vaccine wears off..."

did he say wears off...yup! the vaccine can wear off in 2and 1/2 years...that means repeated shots at $120.00 a pop....are you starting to get the picture??

Mandatory push...not so fast..."In the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics, three academics—Gail Javitt of Johns Hopkins’s Berman Institute of Bioethics, Deena Berkowitz of George Washington University School of Medicine, and Lawrence Gostin of Georgetown University Law Center—contend state and local governments should not require girls receive Gardasil vaccinations."


Only in Texas(well not only)......"For several years the pharmaceutical firm has made aggressive efforts to market the Gardasil human papilloma virus vaccine as a prevention for cervical cancer. The governor of the state of Texas made the administration of this vaccine to young girls mandatory." source

Just google HPV or Merck or Gardisil...make up your own mind...dont get conned by your doctor either......ASK ASK ASK....................just thought id share my opinion.



Why ??? "You cant handle the truth.."

The drum beat for War...why? Evidence showing Iran having nukes is proved to be FAKE...wow!
There is clearly a pattern of manipulating the public, it is troubling but at least they care what we thing! WHY? The Bush/Cheney administration promised proof positive of WMDs in Iraq...Ummm, we are still waiting? Remember Colin Powell citing False intelligence to justify the Iraq invasion!! Remember Condolizza Rice and Bush telling us that they had never ,ever imagined that planes could be used to fly into the world trade center!! OOPs !! turns out the pentagon had gone through such scenarios....and can ya believe it ...NORAD/under Cheney control was practicing hijacked airliner scenorios on a massive scale the very day..sept.11..that it did occur...WOW!

I was alway courious that with soooo many of the alleged hijackers from Saudi Arabia...why didnt we ever go in there?...seems like a terrorist haven if you ask me.

I truely believe we have no clue what these greedy power brokers are up to...except, they do not want us out of the mid east as a military prescense. WHY? They seem willing to fabricate scary reasons to stay. Kill lots of innocent people...put at risk Americans and their families that dedicated their lives to America....time to clean house!

so here is the latest propaganda about that evil Iranian empire! It is almost as good as the Fake Osama Bin Laden Tapes

Here is another reference on Bin Laden...
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has obtained evidence suggesting that documents which have been described as technical studies for a secret Iranian nuclear weapons-related research program may have been fabricated.

The documents in question were acquired by U.S. intelligence in 2004 from a still unknown source -- most of them in the form of electronic files allegedly stolen from a laptop computer belonging to an Iranian researcher. The US has based much of its push for sanctions against Iran on these documents. read the rest here

Drug Pushers



I remember when we were at Seattle childrens, There wasnt one single thing the Harvard educated doctor reccomended that didnt come from a Pharmacuetical company. Id like to know what kind of kick backs and favors he and his wife get to treat children and cancer. Seems like Harvard has come under some scrutiny for their ethically challenged system. It is not just Harvard...and do we blame the institutions or the corruption that love money breeds.

The credability of these top doctors and scientists in their field are no more than yes men to drug companies...and now there is proof they are being paid off.........

"A congressional investigation has revealed that a group of Harvard psychiatrists, instrumental in pushing the diagnosis of bipolar disorder in children and its off-label treatment with antipsychotics, concealed from university officials the millions of dollars they earned in consulting fees for the companies that make those drugs." source Natural news

This is not an innocent thing....and it needs to be corrected. It is wide spread and criminal....in Missouri recently....drug companies are being prosecuted....for kick backs....

"This is the largest settlement figure the State of Missouri has ever recovered in a pharmaceutical pricing fraud. This is one of a number of lawsuits filed by state AG’s office against pharmaceutical companies alleging pharmaceutical fraud." source

Right now the pharmaceutical industry is in the middle of its biggest challenge in history. Whistleblowers have exposed and continue to expose fraudulent practices ranging from pricing issues to sales and marketing practices at a rate never anticipated by either the pharmaceutical industry or the Department of Justice. Settlements and jury verdicts have been headline grabbing and large, attracting the attention of pharma, regulators, Congress and taxpayers. The qui tam pharmaceutical fraud cases settled since 2000 alone have amounted to over 3.5 billion dollars, representing various patterns of fraud...

It is time to get mad...very very mad...send some of those responsible to jail. Why?...here are a few reasons!!!

---ripping off tax payer $$$$
------from America
------from states

---Killing and harming children,seniors, mothers, and fathers
---corrupting a system that is meant for the good of humanity


all for Money..

If you have any information about corruption and fraud of Drug companies and /or doctors,nurses and institutions that contribute....

SPEAK OUT.....contact Pharma 101

GMO food lessons for kids



I was listening to our sixth grader talk about his day at school and all the great things they learn. I mean that, they have some great teachers at our school here in Target Range. Well the subject of Genetically Modified (engineered) food came up and of course I was courious. They get this little news paper like thing called the World History Studies weekly published by American legacy publishing based in Utah.

The artcle started out like this..."Have you ever heard of genetically engineered food? Now, dont be ashamed if you say "no". I like how the subvesive connection is made between being ashamed and not knowing about GMO's. the article goes on to state that farmers like GMO products because they dont have to buy pesticides....and this we know is an outright lie or completely ignorant sloppy journalism. Monsanto alters the traits of foods so that they are resistant to pesticides, therefore they can sell MORE pesticides to the Farmer...and get the farmer to buy more seeds every year because they are patented.

The best one is when the author explains how this technology can be used to feed the starving people of the world. Someone needs to inform the author that we in the USA already pay farmers to NOT farm their land. Feeding the poor starving people in third world countries is just a PR talking point so that GMO's can gain emotional acceptance. The article does mention some worry about this technology in terms of creating "franken foods" but only explains them as pesticide resistant weeds.

The article reminds me of a pay for post artcle, an ad or PR piece that appears as a legit piece of journalism. I dont know why they would be citing a 3 year old study that focused on acceptance and knowledge of GMO's rather than facts on what GMO's are and the real dangers.

It seems that more and more schools are being used to influence kids, their beliefs but more in terms of how they will eventually spend their Money.

In Montana...On January 27,2003 the Montana State Senate unanimously passed a bill which says that the introduction of GM wheat and barley “must be carefully timed so that it occurs only when there is acceptance of these crops by Montana’s major customers.” Timing and acceptance are important...not safety,.Source

Do you wonder why they call it round-up ready...because they can dump tons of toxic chemicles on it....and finally we now get GMO sugar..."After seven years of keeping sugar from genetically modified sugar beets out of their food, Kellogg, Hershey’s and the Wyoming based American Crystal Sugarwill use sugar made from genetically modified (GM) beets.

The decision marks a turnaround for Crystal Sugar, the nation’s largest sugar producer,....source

Will we be rescued???



Whom ever wins this election will be sure to have a lot of work cut out for them. Will military conflict end if Obama is in? Will McCain reform the extreem fraud in the Federal government? I guess not! sorry to be a pessimist..a nay sayer..!!

OK lemme explain why...our country is not run by elected officials...it is run by Corporations! There are some great people in government..we must supprt them...! BUT...BUT...our work is not done just because we voted!!

one important issue that will affect us has made a bit of news is the supreme court is hearing about Pre emption. What the heck is this?? Basically it can makes phamaceutical companies immune from liability if they kill you, or harm you or decieve you. WOW is this for real...afraid so....read more below

----Drug companies are using the pre-emption argument as a legal defense in a wide variety of lawsuits, and the Supreme Court is expected to hear such a case, concerning the company Wyeth, in the fall. Before that, however, a lower federal court is expected to rule on whether pre-emption can be used to dismiss lawsuits by more than 3,000 women who claim that they were injured by using Johnson & Johnson's OrthoEvra birth control patch...source

----Catherine Sharkey, a professor at New York University School of Law, said, "Federal pre-emption is the fiercest battle in products liability law today." source

----On November 3rd the Supreme Court will hear the case of Wyeth v. Levine, which has been called the "business case of the century" -- and with good reason. In essence, Monday's ruling will decide if patients have the right to sue pharmaceutical companies for personal injuries stemming from prescription drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is the big one, folks. source

----High court set to give the FDA and Big Pharma a license to kill Supremes could also reopen doors for courts to award damages when drugs main and kill consumers

By Scott Thurston

On February 25, 2008, oral argument will be heard before the U.S. Supreme Court concerning a state citizen’s ability to bring suit against a pharmaceutical company when injury and/or death occurs as a direct result..... source


----Levine disagrees. She says the FDA is protecting the drug companies from lawsuits, rather than protecting consumers from dangerous drugs. "I had no idea what the risks were," she says of her ordeal with the Wyeth-produced antinausea drug. source

Holloween Candy danger...Montana



I should have named this blog ...Fear Factor! I am not a candy fan ...and you should be on alert. WHY?? remember the tainted milk powder from China well there is good reason to believe that tons of this tainted/poisonous product found its way into candy that is being sold now...here in the USA.

here is some concerning info...

---HARTFORD, Conn. -- The Department of Consumer Protection warned consumers Wednesday not to eat "White Rabbit Creamy Candy," imported from China and distributed by Queensway Foods Company Inc. of Burlingame, Calif.

The candy was found on several Connecticut store shelves the week of Sept. 29 by agency food safety inspectors and removed, agency Commissioner Jerry Farrell Jr. said. Tests by the Connecticut Agriculture Experiment Station Laboratory have determined that the product contains melamine.....source

---The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has issued a voluntary recall notice for the Sherwood Brands Pirate’s Gold Milk Chocolate Coins. The candy, manufactured in China, is the latest product thought to contain the melamine-contaminated milk powder. The product is primarily distributed through Costco stores in Canada as well as some bulk and discount retailers there....more from source

---

---UTAH,A popular Chinese-made candy suspected of being contaminated with an industrial chemical remained on shelves of some Asian food stores in Salt Lake County on Thursday even though state agents have ordered the product pulled.
Complicating their efforts was the fact that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not included Utah on a list of states where the recalled candy,more

---FDA says.."On September 12, 2008, in light of reports from China of infant formula contaminated with melamine, the FDA issued a Health Information Advisory to proactively reassure the American public that there is no known threat of contamination in infant formula manufactured by companies that have met the requirements to sell such products in the United States." YET they then say...
The FDA is advising consumers not to consume the following products because of possible melamine contamination:

Koala’s March Crème filled Cookies
YILI Brand Sour Milk Drink
YILI Brand Pure Milk Drink
Blue Cat Flavored Drinks
White Rabbit Candies
Mr. Brown Mandehling Blend Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
Mr. Brown Arabica Instant Coffee (3-in-1)

Mr. Brown French Vanilla Instant Coffee (3-in-1)
Mr. Brown Mandheling Blend instant Coffee (2-in-1)
Mr. Brown Milk Tea (3-in-1)
Infant formula manufactured in China ....more from FDA here


---info is endless

one more.........

Earlier this month, Chinese officials discovered melamine in powered infant formula made it that country. That contamination is blamed for the recent deaths of four infants in China and the illnesses of 53,000 other children in that country.

Chinese officials learned some dairy plants may have intentionally added melamine to milk products to make them appear to have higher protein levels.

The melamine contamination has since spread from infant formula to dozens of other food products sold around the world, including candy, coffee, and pretzels.

Melamine is a chemical used to make plastic and fertilizers. It is blamed for the illnesses and deaths of thousands of dogs and cats in the United States last year. more here

Thank the FDA and DOW chemical...


A team of researchers from Indiana University and the University of California have recently conducted a study which showed that a chemical commonly used in plastic bottles and other plastic household products may cause breast cancer. The chemical is known as Bisphenol A (BPA) and in high concentrations it is very likely to stimulate the division of cancer cells.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical which resembles estrogen and mimics female hormones. Previous studies showed that the particular plastic chemical is not harmless when entering the body of a woman because human organism transforms.....source


What ever the cause of cancer...there are companies making lots and lots of money (billions) from the misfortune and misery of others, by causing and so called treating.....dont bury your head in the sand ....educate yourself...take action ....support companies and politicians that put your intrests over corporations!!

TV news Lies has more great articles and videos to feed the mind....

The Evidence Gap
Quickly Vetted, Treatment Is Offered to Patients
By REED ABELSON
After a surgeon removed a cancerous lump from Karen Medlock’s breast in November, he recommended radiation, a routine next step meant to keep cancer from recurring.

But he did not send her for the kind of radiation most women have received for decades.

Instead, the surgeon referred her to a center in Oakland, Calif., specializing in a newer form of treatment where radioactive “seeds” are inserted in the tumor site. It could be completed in only five days instead of the six weeks typically required for conventional treatment, which irradiates the entire breast using external beams.

To Ms. Medlock, it seemed an obvious choice. The newer treatment — given through a system called MammoSite — has been performed on about 45,000 breast cancer patients in this country since the Food and Drug Administration cleared it for use in 2002.

Only when Ms. Medlock, 49, sought a second opinion did she learn a startling truth: MammoSite is still highly experimental.

The MammoSite system is among the thousands of devices the F.D.A. lets onto the market each year after only cursory review and with no clear evidence that they help patients. Doctors are free to use those products as they see fit, without telling patients that the devices are not proved. And because the doctors are frequently paid more by Medicare as a way to compensate them for the extra time and expense of adopting ......read more here

Brokaw Powell Frauds....Puppets!



I got into a little tiff with my Girl Friend the other day. I mentioned my feeling about Colin Powell and Tom Brokaw and how they were both sell outs. She, bless here heart still has that patriotic innocence that these phonies play on. Today I see on one of my favorite sites...Jesse Richard does a piece on just this....check out his....Interview with Ray McGovern concerning Colin powell and Tom Brokaw. The facts that point to their deception and distortion of what led us to invade Iraq. Brokaw is a fraud who has the CFR agenda ahead of truth and historical fact!

War Crimes






Some one needs to be the sacraficial lamb so to speak...(not that Bushie is anything like a lamb) before the country can move forward. It is like when a family discovers that the father has been sexually abusing the children....do you look the other way?? or does everyone bury their heads in the sand look the other way while the victims grow up to become the abusers and the injustice becomes the norm!?? I am happy to relay that there is some serious dialogue(action) happening.....here is where you can get more info.....Mission
and here

George W. Bush will not be impeached.

After Inauguration Day Bush will leave office and continue to live a life of privilege and comfort.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American Military Deaths in Iraq
Total In Combat
Since war began: 4185 3388
Since 5/1/2003: 4046 3280
Official Estimated
Total Wounded: 30702 100000+

An estimated 1.2 million Iraqis have been killed violently since the US invasion. More than 4 million Iraqis have now been displaced by violence in the country

Cost of the War in Iraq
$563,555,409,037

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regardless of the horrendous damage Bush has inflicted upon Iraq and this country, George W. Bush is planning to walk away from the greatest crime ever committed by an American President.


He took this country to war under false pretenses.

He lied to the Congress and the rest of the American people in order to start his war with Iraq.

How can we let this happen? Is there anything we can do about it? Vincent Bugliosi has come up with a remarkable solution in his latest book, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder

After reading the book it becomes obvious that impeachment, even if it was "on the table," is not justice.

Plastic Toxic??


ok we just threw out a lot of plastic bottles, Plates and cups. We found ourselves heating up food in the microwave in plastic, and drinking coffee and hot cocoa out of containers that may leach toxic crap. we just had the youngest in our family die of cancer, he was 9 years old and seemingly perfectly healthy, like lightning he had bizzarre rare cancer of the kidney. follow one of the links here and educate yourself.....now!

And in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the crime of Bhopal, we present here 20 things to remember about Dow Chemical -- the company now responsible for Bhopal and a fugitive from justice.



20. Agent Orange/Napalm -- The toxic herbicide and jellied gasoline used in Vietnam created horrors for young and old alike --
19. Rocky Flats -- The top secret Colorado site managed by Dow Chemical from 1952 to 1975 that is an environmental nightmare for the Denver area.
18. Body burden -- In March 2001, the Centers for Disease Control reported that most Americans carry detectable levels of plastics, pesticides and heavy metals in their blood and urine.

17. 2,4-D -- An herbicide produced by Dow Chemical. It is still in use today. Used for killing lawn weeds, crop weeds, range weeds, along utility company rights-of way, railroads. ..... 2,4-D is the most widely used herbicide in the world.

16. Mercury -- In Canada, Dow had been producing chlorine using the mercury cell method since 1947. Much of the mercury was recycled, but significant quantities were discharged into the environment through air emissions, water discharges, waste sludge and in end products..........
15. PERC -- Perchloroethylene, the hazardous substance used by dry cleaners everywhere. Dow tried to undermine safer alternatives.

14. 2,4,5 T -- One of the toxic ingredients in Agent Orange. Doyle says that "Dow just fought tooth and nail over this chemical -- persisted every way it could in court and with the agencies, at the state and federal levels, to buy more time for this product. ..... And 2,4,5-T health effects litigation continues to this day."

13. Busting unions -- In 1967, unions represented almost all of Dow's production workers. But since then, according to the Metal Trades Department of the AFL-CIO, Dow undertook an "unapologetic campaign to rid itself of unions."

12. Silicone -- Key ingredient for silicone breast implants, made by a joint venture between Dow and Corning (Dow Corning). Made women large, but also made them sick. Ongoing illness and litigation.

11. DBCP -- Toxic active ingredient in Dow pesticide Fumazone. Doctors who tested men who worked with DBCP thought they had vasectomies -=96 no sperm present.

10. Dursban -- Chlorpyrifos, a toxic pesticide, a product that proved to have the nerve agent effects that Rachel Carson warned about. Also tested on prisoners in New York in 1971 and in 1998 at a lab in Lincoln, Nebraska. Took over for DDT when DDT was banned in 1972.
9. Dow at Christmas -- "Uses of Dow plastics by the toy industry are across the board," boasted Dow Chemical in an internal company memo one Christmas season --
8.The Tittabawassee -- River and river basin polluted by Dow in its hometown, Midland, Michigan.

7. Brazos River, Freeport, Texas -- February 1971 headline in the Houston Post read: "Brazos River is Dead." In 1970 and 1971, Dow's operation there was sending more than 4.5 billion gallons of wastewater per day into the Brazos and on into the Gulf of Mexico.

6. Toxic Trespass -- Doyle writes: "Dow Chemical has been polluting property and poisoning people for nearly a century, locally and globally -- . ... Dow Chemical must end its toxic trespass."

5. Holmesburg Experiments -- In January 1981, a Philadelphia Inquirer story reveals that Dow Chemical paid a University of Pennsylvania dermatologist to test dioxin on prisoners at Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia. Tests were conducted in 1964. Seventy inmates tested.

4. Worker deaths -- Dow has a long history of explosions and fires at its facilities, well documented by Doyle in Trespass Against Us.
3. Brain tumors -- In 1980, investigators found 25 brain workers with brain tumors at the company's Freeport, Texas facility -- 24 of which were fatal.

2. Saran Wrap -- The thin slice of plastic invaluable to our lives. Produced by Dow until consumers were looking for Dow products to boycott.
1. Bhopal -- Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we seek to bring to justice those who trespass against us.
