US Stirring up Trouble with China

The Russian Insider reported that the US Navy has sent carrier John C. Stennis, two destroyers, two cruisers and the 7th Fleet flagship to the South China Sea in order to protect US trade in the region. Not surprisingly, the Chinese military felt that the small armada of ships was a threat to their national security. China's foreign ministry spokesman, Hong Lei, said that this was an act of aggression and that the right for China to defense and self-preservation is acknowledged by international law. Hong also pointed out that the US military has been conducting military drills in the China South Seas without authorization to conduct close surveillance. Despite the huge military presence of the US navy, China is being painted as the aggressor. U.S. Pacific Command head Adm. Harry Harris told lawmakers that China is militarizing the South China Seas.

NHS Wants to Harvest Organs From Newborns

The British National Health Service has proposed that the organs from babies born with terminal illnesses should be harvested to meet organ donation shortages. According to the Daily Mail, around 230 babies diagnosed with anencephaly, a fatal brain disease, are aborted each year in the UK. Doctors from the NHS suggest that the mothers should let their babies grow to full term so that their organs can be harvested at birth. Dr Trevor Stammers, Director for Bioethics St Mary's University calls the idea ghoulish.

"The concept reduces the baby to nothing more than a utilitarian means to an end - a collection of spare parts - rather than respecting life for its own sake."

He also believes that the practice of harvesting organs from newborns would destroy public confidence in transport technology. The NHS assures the people that no family will be forced to donate their baby's organs and that it would save the lives of hundreds of people waiting for an organ transplant.

Parents Face 5 Years In Prison for Giving Their Own Child Natural Medicine

Daniel Jennings -Off The Grid News

David and Collet Stephan could face up to five years in prison for treating their son with natural remedies rather than taking him to a doctor.

The Canadian couple is being tried for failure to provide the necessities of life to their 19-month-old son, Ezekiel, who died of meningitis in 2012. The couple was then investigated by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), which asserted the boy should have been taken to the hospital much sooner. The investigation took nearly a year until charges were filed, and the trial began this month.

The parents say Ezekiel had fallen ill and that they treated it with all-natural remedies, and that he seemed to be getting better until he stopped breathing.

The father described the symptoms as flu-like and told the National Post, "We don't always go to the doctor immediately. If it persists, we do, absolutely."

Shortly before the boy stopped breathing, Anthony Stephan said, Ezekiel "was playing with his dad. He was eating. Everything seemed good."

The court case against the Stephans is expected to wrap up within weeks. David and Collet have pled not guilty.

U.S. Foreign Policies Push Homosexual Lifestyle across the Globe

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is pushing the homosexual lifestyle across the globe. A USAID memorandum announced that it will be spending $1 million on funding LGBT candidates in other nations as well as other promotions of the homosexual lifestyle. Lifesite News reported that the U.S. foreign ambassador to the Dominican Republic, Wally Brewster, makes it a point to include his "husband" in his tours of schools and other social events. The conservative country is being pressured to accept pro-homosexual directives as the U.S. is clearly making foreign aid money contingent upon each nation's adoption of pro-homosexual policies.

President Obama proudly announced his approval and promotion of these actions in his memorandum to the heads of executive departments and agencies, "Under my Administration, agencies engaged abroad have already begun taking action to promote the fundamental human rights of LGBT persons everywhere.  Our deep commitment to advancing the human rights of all people is strengthened when we as the United States bring our tools to bear to vigorously advance this goal."
