McDonalds Recalls 12 Million Cadmium-Tainted Shrek Glasses

McDonalds recalls 12 million Shrek drinking glasses because traces of Cadmium, a toxic metal, were found in the painted design. Shrek Forever After, the 4th Shrek movie, will not end happily ever after due to McDonalds recall of 12 million Shrek drinking glasses. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said the painted design on the Shrek glasses sold by McDonalds were made by ARC International in Millville, New Jersey. No deaths or injuries have been reported.
The sale of the 16-ounce glasses was part of the promotional campaign for the movie "Shrek Forever After," which was produced by DreamWorks Animation and released by Viacom Inc's Paramount Pictures.

The glasses came in four designs with characters from the film: Shrek, Fiona, Puss in Boots and Donkey.

Shrek, the fourth movie in the series about the lovable green ogre's adventures in his fairy tale land, opened May 21 and is currently the most popular movie in North America, having grossed almost $150 million through the end of May. 1

Tom Reed, vice president of human resources at Arc International’s plant in Millville, says the company received a copy of a McDonald’s memo on the recall of 12 million glasses but has not heard anything else.

Reed would not say where the paint was made or whether it’s used in Arc’s other products. Arc is based in France and owns the Pyrex brand of cookware in Europe. 2

Conservative Wordsmith ™ Commentary: The Shrek Forever After drinking glasses were made in New Jersey, which is in America. The state of New Jersey is not located in China. Does this mean China is off the hook for this recall? Maybe not.

I must admit my initial thought, after reading that the drinking glasses were made in New Jersey, was "But where did the paint come from?" After doing more research, I discovered the article (see above) which mentions that Tom Reed, vice president of human resources at Arc International’s plant in Millville, New Jersey did not disclose where the paint was made.

Even though Arc is "based" in France, once again, this doesn't mean ingredients, like paint, used by Arc are from France.

Mr. Reed, I want to know the truth. Where was the Cadmium-tainted paint made? Was the paint used in the Shrek Forever After drinking glasses made in China? Can you please tell me?

McDonalds is an American company, and American children could have been at risk. Now don't get me wrong. I don't want to start yet another Conspiracy Theory. But I really would like to know where that paint was made, Mr. Reed.

Toy Made In China Causes Two Children To Die

China continues to manufacure and export dangerous toys to America. China manufactured a toy gun that killed two children. The toy gun was sold at the Family Dollar Store, a discount chain in America, yet Obama listened to China's complaints about U.S. human rights. Obama even volunteered apologies to China about the Arizona Immigration Law.
Atlanta News You Can Use Examiner
Today the Consumer Production Safety Commission issued an immediate release involving a toy gun sold exclusively at the Family Dollar Store after two children ages 9 and 10 lost their lives while playing with these. Make sure if your child has this toy that it is confiscated immediately and thrown away.

Make sure you write a letter, send an e-mail, or make a phone call to this distributor who refuses to recall the toy on its own - Henry Gordy International. Nearly two millions of these toys were sold throughout the United States.

Obama Apologizes to China for Arizona's Law Cracking Down On Illegals

Obama's Liberal Mouth Continues To Speak Out Against America and American Policies.
AP reports:
The United States and China reported no major breakthroughs Friday after only their second round of talks about human rights since 2002.
[Assistant Secretary of State Michael Posner] said in addition to talks on freedom of religion and expression, labor rights and rule of law, officials also discussed Chinese complaints about problems with U.S. human rights [what right do the Chinese have to complain about U.S. human rights? This is nothing less than insanity.], which have included crime, poverty, homelessness and racial discrimination.
He [Posner] said U.S. officials did not whitewash the American record [of course not -- Obama is compelled to open his mouth and spout forth his false ideas about America every chance he gets] and in fact raised on its own a new immigration law in Arizona that requires police to ask about a person's immigration status if there is suspicion the person is in the country illegally.
I want to mention here that the topic about Arizona's new Immigration Law was not brought up by the Chinese, but by Obama and his politically correct entourage. I also would like to know what Obama's response was to the Chinese about their various complaints against America.

I bet the Chinese didn't utter one word of complaint about the Chinese government's poisoning of America's pets with tainted pet food, or exposing American children to lead with their "Made in China" toys.


I bet the Chinese never uttered one word of complaint about all of the money the Chinese are making over their near-monopoly of products sold in American stores, including everything from shoes to toothbrushes.

When will Obama and his liberal administration learn to stop their negative verbiage against America and American policies, especially when talking to those, like the Chinese, whose basic political agenda is to violate the basic human rights of every Chinese citizen.

FEMA Concentration Camps: One More Conspiracy Theory For Truthers

The FEMA Concentration Camps conspiracy theory is on the rise again. "In April of 2009, PM editor-in-chief James Meigs appeared on Glenn Beck's FOX news program twice to debunk conspiracy theories regarding supposed 'concentration camps' being built by the Federal Emergency Management Agency." 1

The facts, however, as in the 9/11 conspiracy theories, and all conspiracy theories are as follows: conspiracy theories, myths and hoaxes only exist in the clever, manipulative minds of their inventors, the conspiracy theorists. On the other hand, debunkers, people who go about debunking myths and conspiracy theories, prove that the imaginary inventions in the minds of conspiracy theorists are false. Experts who practice the art of debunking conspiracy theories expose their falsehood for all the world to see.

Here is one example:

See the photo of a supposed FEMA concentration camp in Wyoming. It is, in reality, a satellite image of a North Korean Forced Labor Camp.

The creators of conspiracy theories have their own agenda, and it is just like this: Creators of conspiracy theories want to convert the minds of everyone to their way of thinking, often for purposes of leftist political manipulation. Unfortunately, there are enough naive and gullible people who are ready and willing to believe almost anything (truthers) and will believe almost anything, especially if it contradicts the political right. This includes those people who claim to be conservatives, including Ron Paul supporters and some libertarians.

1. North Korea/Wyoming
detention center

CLAIM: "There is a minimum of one confirmed
concentration camp built on American soil in rural Wyoming. " The (Department of
Homeland Security) accidentally placed these photos on a publicly accessible
portion of their website " (but) they were pulled within one hour. " The images
are not gone forever though."

FACT: These actually are
legitimate images of "forced-labor colonies, camps, and prisons"—in North Korea.
The images were taken from "The Hidden Gulag: Exposing North Korea's Prison
Camps," a report prepared by the Washington D.C.-based Committee for Human
Rights in North Korea. Then someone manipulated the headers, photo dates and
annotations.

Myths and Hoaxes are not real. Conspiracy theories have already been debunked by experts who have exposed their falsehood. To believe in something that is not real just because you don't happen to agree with conservatives is not wise. The creators of conspiracy theories use the prejudices that leftists harbor against conservatives to their advantage, distorting the truth and making it seem true to those who already want to believe that something "else" must be the real answer.

The obsessive compulsion to believe that President George W. Bush, his Republican cabinet, and the American government caused 9/11 is a perfect example. Truthers, or those who believe in myths, hoaxes and conspiracy theories, believe this lie about Bush, Republicans and America -- truthers believe that the conspiracy theory must be the answer, instead of the obvious, and very real, answer, i.e., that Muslim Jihadist terrorists caused the murderous events of 9/11.

"Truthers", the name popularly used for those who believe in, and propagate, conspiracy theories, are unwilling to learn the real truth about any conspiracy theories they have accepted. Conspiracy theories are almost a religious doctrine for them. The irony of the word "truthers" is that truthers do not believe in truth. Instead, truthers believe in myths, hoaxes, conspiracy theories and lies. Do not become the victim of a conspiracy theorist. Do not believe in a hoax. Believe in the truth.

I have come to the conclusion that the unwillingness of truthers to comprehend the truth, even when presented with facts and scientific evidence that have been presented by professional debunkers, is a serious Catch-22 situation. Truthers want to believe in myths, hoaxes and conspiracy theories. Truthers do not want anyone to contradict the "pretend" facts they religiously adhere to, because the conspiracy theorists tell them that even the facts themselves are conspiracies.
