Forget The Big Pharma Propaganda - The British Medical Journal Tells Us Measles Is Not A Killer Disease
As the government joins Big Pharma corporations in raising the hysteria level about the measles outbreak in Wales, The Informed Parent website has compiled some historic articles from The British Medical Journal showing that in the 1950s before Big Pharma had measles vaccines to sell, doctors did not consider the disease to pose a major risk to ...
Measles Hysteria, Big Pharma Vaccine Propaganda and a little truth
As the argument over vaccines reaches new levels of intensity and those who claim to have science on their side are reduced to name calling and lying in the face of mounting evidence that vaccines are just a profit machine for big pharma, what are parents supposed to do?
So If Global Warming Has Stopped And The Pandemics Never Go Started What will Make Us Extinct
Please don't get the idea I am one of those doom and gloom merchants who is always saying "the end is nigh." I tend to minimize existential threats, climate change was never anything more than a scam, the various pandemics, from Swine Flu to AIDS were never going to kill in great numbers as The Black Death did in ...
So Why Is Nobody Happy
Americans love to tell us they are the greatest country on the planet, American exceptionalism places them above other nations, theirs is the most powerful economy, the mightiest military (yet in ten years they cannot defeat a bunch of beared ragheads with AK47s and IEDs), they have the most advanced technology and the highest living standards. So why
Government-funded medical experiments on babies risked blindness and death, over 23 prestigious universities involved
The people who control your life don't give a shit about you and your family. The world is run by psychoths. Anyone who doesn't realise that by now is probably fucked up beyond redemption.

Are 90% Of Cancer Research Studies Fraudulent?
A shocking report published in nature magazine has revealed that up to 89% of cancer research studies may be fraudulent. In that many cases the results reported were not reproducable and were in the interests of Pharmaceutical and healthcare corporations rather than cancer sufferers. It is not clear in how many cases the researchers were knowingly dishonest and how many were just stupid ...
Diabetes skyrockets across America as Big Pharma drugs fail yet again
In spite of year on year increases in medication usage rates for preventing and treating Type II diabetes, the condition is becoming more prevalent throughout the U.S.A., according to a new study published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The Hunt For Extra Terrestrial life Stepped Up

Anarchy In The UK And Elsewhere
The occupy movement are not anarchists. Rioters and protestors of the modern left are not anarchists. Such people have allowed themselves to become dependent on government, they could no more live without the sheltering authority than a tree could live without water. Real anarchy is a well thought out political philosophy though like most (all) political philosophies it looks good on paper but in it pure form is hopelessly impractical.
Abortion Of Justice: Why The Media Silence On The Kermit Gosnell Trial

Dr. Offit the vaccine millionaire, mandatory vaccines and conflicts of interest.
"But why would you not want the vaccine, it's for your own good." This is the plaintive whine of those who are sure they know better than ourselves what is good for us. As usual, the question you should ask is Cui Bono? Who benefits? And to find the answer as usual all you have to do is follow the money.

Neuromancers and other neuroscience fiction
n recent years the scientific community have been clamouring to tell us thy are close to mapping the workings of the human brain and understanding the workings of the human mind. now I recall while recovering from a brain haemorrhage fifteen years ago being told by a very good doctor that medical science was only just starting to understand that the brain (a physical organ) and the mind (a mystery) were very different things. And I have neither read nor heard anything since to make me think he was wrong.

Globalist Bankers Make Plans To Rob Your Bank Account
The so called bail in of banks in Cyprus has created a dangerous model for future ban solvency problems. We should all be concerned.

Global Kleptocracy And Trickle Down Taxation
George Harrison was my favourite Beatle. he was my wife's too, but for very different reasons. In 1965, pisssed off with what he considered confiscatory taxation by the British government -- a supertax on high earners instituted by the Labour government was taking 95 percent of their income -- George Harrison wrote his most bitter song from the perspective of a maniacal tax collector:

When Lefties Tell You They Are Liberals Look For The Nazi In The Closet
The left have always been quick to shout Nazi whenever a conservative or libertarian was getting the better of the argument. but socialism is the parent of fascism and the authoritarianism of modern liberals and 'proressives'is far closer to the politics of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin and Mao Tse Tung than either Benjamin Disraeli or Margaret Thatcher ever were.
Americans Know Nothing Of Obama's Latest Vacation.

A look at the fascination with paedophile rights and the sexualisation of children that seems to have a powerrful grip on left wing politicians in the UK's Labour Party and Obama's Democrats in the U.S.A. Trying to pass of the sexualization of childhood as a human rights issue is beneath comtempt.
Radical American congressman attacks globalisation.
Not sure the American maverick politician Bernie Saunders, who sits as an independent, knows what he is talking about. Left winger like him are usually full of praise for globalisation and all that New World Order crap. But globalisation means corporations being able to move money around the globe freely so what Bernie is complaining (absolutely correctly) about is the direct reult of the politically correct thinking he has always supported. Unfaurtunately the left have been duped by The Illuminati again.

REVIEWS
Leonora (historic fiction) by Gina Pounds - Review
Comedy writing, verse, poetry, comic songs, cartoons, comic fiction, comic verse. If you are looking for a laugh and you can't find one here you are very hard to please.
Join our writers as they take you around the world in words and pictures. No typical travelogue this because we try wander away from the usual tourist destinations, to delve a little deeper into the nature of the place, locals you might travel to, investigate the culture, how communities developed and what has made things the way they are. Look for overlaps here with our history, food and music menus as we try to recreate a little of the atmosphere. Nobody has yet found a way to digitise smells but as soon as the technology is abailable we will bring you that aspect of the ambience too.
Health and Wellbeing
How to make healthy eating fun, exercise that is not a chore, lessons in how to chill, sensible drinking. Health and Wellbeing are one of the main concerns that cause stress in this increasingly crazy world. In this menu find articles, spoken word and video on how to cope with the stresses of modern life, how to make a personal refuge for yourself even in a crowded place and how to fend off the pressures of the aggressive consumer society we inhabit.
The Natural World
Anything to do with nature can find a place here, from exploring a cave complex to articles and video on wildlife. There are obvious overlaps here with travel, health and wellbeing and the environment menus but that is the nature of The Greenteeth Labyrinth. Just as a walk in the woods might lead one of our writers to record the habits of an animal colony or write on the breeding cycle of birds, so in the Labyrinth you never know where a link might lead you to.
Real Lives - the biography menu
Biographical writing on the lives of the famous and the unknown (who often have the more interesting stories to tell,) memoir, stories told in verse, in pictures with commentary, in any way because Greenteeth Labyrinth is about using the power and versatility of new media to communicate in new ways. Everybody has a story to tell and their own way of telling it. Cameraderie, shared hardship, life on the factory floor or in the field, triumph, tragedy, survival, if it is true life it belongs here and we will find the best way of presenting it.
THIS MENU is not live yet but find A Stroke Of Luck, Ian Thorpe's memoir of recovery from a massive brain haemorrhage available to read free online. Go to A Stroke Of Luck - Chapter 1
Past Perspectives: New Angles On History
History as it is taught in conventional schools and colleges is mostly wrong. Not slightly wrong, not just spun a bit to fit a political agenda but blatantly wrong. Worse, it is deliberately wrong. The Roman Empire, usually presented as the great civilising force in the western world, the enlightened society that dissed its enemies as Barbarians and Heathens was in many ways actually less civilised that the Bararians it conquered. The Celts of Norhern Europe, the Moors of North Africa and the Persians all had well organised societies and in many ways were ahead of Rome in technology and scholarship. The American War Of Independence was not fought for religious freedom of in the first instance for freedom of any kind. The rebels were asking for seats in the British Parliament for the colonies, "no taxation without representation." The rebel leaders were British Gentleman Adventurers and many of the senior British Officers were supporters of the Stewart claim to the throne, regarding the Hanoverians as usurpers. Thus they were tacitly sympathetic to the rebellion. These are just two of the instances in which history needs to be viewed from a different perspective if a true picture is to be seen. There is much more in this menu.
A Quick Tour Of The Church of Saint Mary and All Saints, Whalley, Lancashire, UK
A quick tour of the parish church of St Mary and All Saints in Whalley gives us a glimpse of the history of this area.There has been a Christian church on this site since the seventh century and though the eariest parts of the current building are from the tenth century stones from the older church were used in the construction. Three ancient Saxon crosses that stand in the church grounds are also from the tenth century
From the core philosophies of the great religions to the ideas of modern existentialists, philosophy is regarded as dull, heavy and irrelevant. But philosophy is ideas and ideas are the most exciting things in the world. In the Greenteeth Labyrinth we try to bring you philosophy lite, wisdom without weight. From the origins of the Universe to the myseries of quantum physics, from the earliest forms of Goddess worship to the quasi - religious ideas of self help gurus, all is examined here. You will even find some articles in this menu showing up in the comedy pages too.The overall message of Philo and Sophia though can be summed up in the words of Hypatia of Alexandria, proto-feminist of the ancient world who said, "All formal and dogmatic religions are fallacious, to teach superstitions as truth is the most terrible thing. Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all." What happened to her for thinking like that? Enter the menu to find out.
Like philosophy, poetry is a type of literature easily shunned as boring. Often that dismissal is accurate, particularly in the case of modernists, whose self-indulgent navel gazing verse is deliberately made so obscure and complex it is doubtful even the poets themselves understand WTF they are banging on about. On the other hand there are maverick bands of poets, freal traditionalists, wandering the net attacking the unwary readers with their polysyllabic peregrenations through poetry's more arcane medieval forms. Bad traditional petry can be as much a turnoff as modern do-it-yourself psychology poems. At Greenteeth we publish the poets we think are fun, especially those who bring us their work in audio or video form. Poetry is about rhythm, pace and timing as much as language. Words can lie dead on a page. Let us bring them to life for you and maybe help you find a new form of entertainment to enjoy.
Famour artists introduced and their work examines, images of great paintings available to browse online. This new section is expanding rapidly, keep looking in.

More recently however poetry and literatute like so much of cultural life has been hijacked by The Politically Correct Thought Police, the righteous hand wringers who would turn all of us into unthinking automatons, slaves of the all powerful state.

- On The Imminent Marriage Of A Former LoverPoets and writers used to be hedonists, Byron was described as mad, bad and dangerous to know, Coleridge was a drug addict, Dylan Thomas a hellraising drunk many other were prodigious drinkers, shaggers, promiscuous homosexuals and compuslive gambers. More recently however poetry and literatute like so much of cultural life has been hijacked by The Politically Correct Thought Police. The fightback starts here. This poem is about feral passion and rule breaking sex in the well ordered world of suburbia.
- The AspirationalThis poem is a hectic anti - materialim rant written with an insistent rhythm, in performance it is a poetic earworm. Another incitement to reject convention from a writer who should have been one of poetry's bad boys except that the Arts establishment Politically Correct Thought Police do not like bad boys or individuals now.

- Statistics Graphs And Hockey SticksThe case for carbon driven anthropogenic global warming was made they said, the science was settled brandishing the infamously phoney "hockey stick graph. All that remained, our leaders said was tu let the scientists loose with unproven technologies and unforseeable consequences, let the politicians loose with unprecedented taxes to tax each journey and tax us when we sit at home and to let loose the billionaires to make markers in self indulgence andtrade carbon allowances. It was a scam, the science was not settled. 2000 years ago Cicero asked the Roman senate "Cui bono," who benefits. We should always ask they same when scientists and politicians tell us they are acting in the public good.Text only
- From The DarknessA poem for the vernal equinox from Ian R. Thorpe's Eightfold Year set which celbrates the festivals and season of the North European pagan year. These nature poems concentrate on the rhythms of the natural cycle, birth, growth, maturity, decline, death and rebirth and relate them to the cycles of human life. From the darkness looks at the return of life to the landscape after the dark, cold days of winter. Text Only
Abstract ExpressionismWe live in an age of plenty, when poverty is defined by not having the latest designer clothing or an internet enabled smartphone, there is a new, invisible kind of poverty. It can be seen in the faces of people who look affluent and well provided for, in the emptiness in their eyes. It is not poverty through lack of money but deprivation of those bonds of family and community that anchor us spiritually. Such separation can often lead to loneliness, isolation, depression and insanity, true poverty among material plenty as depicted in this story in verse based on a real event.Text only

The Science and Technology Menu
Science and Technology is not a collection of work lauding all things scientific but is somewhere you will find objective and independent writing on technologies including sustainable power generation, internet developments, IT hardware, transport technology, food production and all areas of research and development while articles on natural sciences will set out to challege orthodox thinking. If you are one of those people who is trying to establish science as a rival to religion you will not feel at home here but if you like to keep up with at the latest developments from a wide perspective while reasing about them in a style that does not attempt to blind readers with science you will be in your element.
Humanitas - Everything That makes Us Human
Who are we, where do we come from, what's it all about, is there any point to all that we do ? Should we give a damn?
There is a very nasty tasting mindset being bred in the academic world, and particularly in the fields of science and technology, that insidiously suggests all the qualities that make being human so wonderful are in fact weaknesses and should be resisted if not eliminated. "We should all try to live scientifically" one eminent scientist recently suggested as if there was anything about life that could even loosely be described as scientific. In the end the scientists and tech-heads, with their insane belief in reason, logic and evidence based knowledge are little different to religious fundamentalists in the way they cling desperately to their certainties while the rest of us blunder hopefully through life trying to make some sense of it all.

You will find no preaching here, while all are welcome to submit to us their point of view, christian, muslim, jewish, hindi, buddhist, pagan and all their variations any work that tries to suggest one faith has the right understanding of life, the universe and everything while all the others are wrong will be rejected.
