Dear Friends,
?
Welcome to the first edition of the Pradical, my e-publication focused on our rapidly urbanizing world and the search for practical solutions from a sometimes radical perspective. It is my belief that we need to go to not the cutting but the bleeding edge of innovation to truly address the changes needed to bring about ecological and social sustainability.
?
In looking for solutions to the urban challenges we face, we must take the radical step of looking to those most marginalized by urbanization. In the case of slums, the longterm and viable solutions will come from the people that live there. You will see many stories here that reflect my belief that the meaningful engagement of communities is the first step to effective and sustainable change.
?
Youth will as well be a focus. For much of the 20th century it was radical to think that women would have any role in development; it is now rote that for any development to succeed women must be engaged. The 21st century corollary to the struggle of women is the struggle of youth to be heard. We can no longer ignore the massive demographic divide that exists both within developing countries between those governed and those governing; nor can we ignore the global demographic divide between the developed and the developing world. Youth are key to the innovation that we need to solve the many challenges we face, yet we are ignoring this resource, bringing about frustration and violence.
?
This e-newsletter will highlight the best of my pradical.org blog, and touch on a range of urban issues that I see as important to our future. I hope that you enjoy it, I strongly encourage you to comment. I believe that conflict is the grist of a good debate, so bring it on!
?
Sincerely,
?

As a consultant with the United Nations I spend a lot of time working out of Nairobi, Kenya. I love it there. Amazing people, beautiful environment, and, in Nairobi, urban like you have never seen urban before. All the problems that you can think of in regards to urban issues exist in Nairobi and its surronding slums - water, sanitation, poverty, violence, etc.


Yet, it is as well one of the most dynamic places I have been to in my life. I am amazed at the innovation and ingenuity of the youth I have worked with there. As well, being the headquarters of the UN in the developing world, it is a meeting place for people from around the world. So, this section of my blog is dedicated to the wonderful people I have met in Nairobi.
?
The focus of my first two Nairobi Notebooks have been on this amazing agency that I have had the fortune to connect with - Map Kibera. I passionately believe in "community mapping" as a development tool. 



Here is an excerpt from my Nairobi Reflections series. If you want to read the other ones go to NR1, NR2, NR3.
?
Nairobi Reflections 3: High Touch/Low Tech

Community Mapping has always been quite an amazing tool - it localizes knowledge, draws on the "mappers" personal and community experiences, identifies interconnectedness - all this coming together and increasing social capital (if you are interested in the concepts of social capital read Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone; to better understand how it relates to mapping, read up on John Mcknight's Asset Based Community Development). You can check out some of the work that the International Centre for Sustainable Cities and UN-HABITAT has done on community mapping by checking out their draft asset mapping manual.
?
As I have written about before, the Kibera Mapper's project take this to the next level by combining the "soft" components of mapping - working with community, getting them to identify their "assets" or "social capital" - with the "hard" components of mapping - turning out maps which can be used in community organizing and advocacy. These organizing and advocacy outputs can be used to influence decision makers such as planners - I like to thing of it as the "pointy stick" of mapping, where you can drive your message home with great success.

I have been working in the youth field for 25 years - it is clearly one of my passions. About 10 years ago I seriously began to look at the demographics of the developing world, both internally and as they are compared to the developed world. I couldn't believe that this was on no ones development agenda. Things have changed, but the point still needs to be made. Here is a blog I did on it.
?


?
The Demographic Divide: Are Youth the Angels or the Demons of the New Millenium
?

In the 20th century it took decades for the international community to realize the value of women to the community - even though they were 50% of the population. We are in danger of this same thing happening with youth in the 21st century. Are youth angels, our hope for a new world, or are they demons who will rise up and bring our world crashing down?


Throughout history youth have been the leaders of revolutions and the fodder for generals. They are the victims of poverty and the engines of economy.
?
Africa is the youngest continent demographically. 70-80% of most African countries are under the age of 30. In developing regions as a whole, least developed countries are younger that the rest of the world and in 2005, the global median age was 28 years. In the 10 least-developed African countries it was 16 or younger. 
Yet we need to look at the issues of Africa within the context of the larger demographic divide which exists globally.
?
In the North or developed world we have what can be characterized as the old geezers. The developed world population is rapidly aging, their productive (and reproductive!) capacity is slowing down, their needs are increasing. No longer can they depend on the entrepreneurialism of the boomer generations and its drive to conquer all, damn the consequences.
?
The South or developing world is youthful and in economic terms, in the prime of its life. Yet, they are living under deplorable, inhumane conditions and find the deck stacked against them, unable to fight their way out and up.
?
In the map below we can graphically see how the developing world, especially the African continent, is youthful. If we look behind the numbers we can also see an increasingly urban world, where it has been estimated that half of the world?s population will live in cities by 2030, with almost all of this growth occurring in developing world cities and slums, and over 60% of those being under the age of 18.


?
So what does this all mean for the developed and developing world?

Ancient Fossils Show Arctic Now Near Climate Tipping Point
http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/jun2010/2010-06-29-01.html
  Published on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 by Environment News Service (ENS)
   BOULDER, Colorado - Current levels of Earth's atmospheric carbon dioxide
may be high enough to bring about "irreversible" shifts in Arctic
ecosystems, according to new research published today by scientists from
the United States, Canada and The Netherlands.
   The Arctic climate system is more sensitive to greenhouse warming than
previously known said the researchers, who gathered evidence on what is now
Ellesmere Island in Canada's High Arctic from a time period 2.6 to 5.3
million years ago. This period, known as the Pliocene Epoch, occurred
shortly before Earth was plunged into an ice age.
   "Our findings indicate that CO2 levels of approximately 400 parts per
million are sufficient to produce mean annual temperatures in the High
Arctic of approximately zero degrees Celsius (32 degrees F)," said lead
author Ashley Ballantyne of the University of Colorado at Boulder. "As
temperatures approach zero degrees Celsius, it becomes exceedingly
difficult to maintain permanent sea and glacial ice in the Arctic. Thus
current levels of CO2 in the atmosphere of approximately 390 parts per
million may be approaching a tipping point for irreversible ice-free
conditions in the Arctic," Dr. Ballantyne warned.
   The research team points out that the overwhelming majority of climate
scientists agree Earth is warming due to increased atmospheric
concentrations of heat-trapping gases generated by human activities like
fossil fuel burning and deforestation. Arctic temperatures have risen by
about 1.8 degrees F (1 degree C) in the past two decades in response to
human-caused greenhouse warming, a trend expected to continue in the coming
decades and centuries, said Ballantyne.
   Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have risen from about 280 parts per
million during the pre-industrial era on Earth to about 390 parts per
million today.  Environmental advocates are calling on governments
negotiating the next climate treaty to limit greenhouse gas emissions to
350 parts per million, the level many scientists say will help to avert the
worst consequences of climate change.
   The research paper is being published in the July issue of the journal
"Geology." The study was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation,
the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council in Canada, the
Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research and the European Research
Council. 


10 Easy Steps for Becoming a Radical Homemaker
Go on and live dangerously -- hang out the wash.
June 30, 2010  |  
 http://www.alternet.org/environment/147367/10_easy_steps_for_becoming_a_rad
ical_homemaker/
   When I first released Radical Homemakers: Reclaiming Domesticity from a
Consumer Culture, I was advised to make a list of "easy steps for
becoming a radical homemaker" as part of my publicity outreach materials.
My shoulders slumped at the very thought: Three years of research about the
social, economic, and ecological significance of homemaking, and I had to
reduce it to 10 easy tips? I didn't see a to-do list as a viable route to
a dramatic shift in thinking, beliefs, and behaviors. But since the
objective of such a list was smoother discussion and communication of
Radical Homemaking ideas with the public, I did it.
   I came up with the simplest things I could imagine-like committing to
hanging laundry out to dry, dedicating a portion of the lawn to a vegetable
garden, making an effort to get to know neighbors to enable greater
cooperation and reduce resource consumption. I would perfunctorily refer
back to them when radio dialogues flagged, when interviews seemed to be
getting off track, or to distract myself when an occasional wave of
personal sarcasm (I do have them on occasion) threatened to jeopardize an
otherwise polite discourse about the book. After about 40 media interviews,
I was pretty good at rattling them off, and I began to see their power and
significance beyond helping me to be polite.
   Every time a person sticks a clothespin on a pair of undies, he or she
is saying, "I want a better world. And I'm willing to do what it
takes." Take hanging out the laundry as an example. At the outset, it is
deceptively simple: It saves money and resources, and it's easy. As I
spoke about line-drying laundry more, however, the suggestion took on more
meaning. Of course everyone would like to hang out the laundry. But many
people don't do it. They're too busy. Thus, the commitment to hanging
out the laundry represents a commitment to slowing down-it means starting
to align one's daily household activity with the rhythms of nature. In my
mind, hanging out the laundry moved from being a simple chore to being an
act of meditation and reflection on a deeper, more profound commitment that
a person wanted to make. Thus, draping shirts and socks on a clothesline
wasn't just about getting a chore done; it represented the new, sane
world so many of us are working to create. Every time a person sticks a
clothespin on a pair of undies, he or she is saying, "I want a better
world. And I'm willing to do what it takes." Laundry may be a simple
first step, but it ultimately leads to something bigger.
   Laundry became the central theme of a talk I gave recently in an
affluent community, where golf course-quality lawns are ready at a
moment's notice as the backdrop for the season's latest fad: large
screen outdoor television sets.


Deficits, Social Security, and the American Public 
June 29, 2010 11:00 PM
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lawrence-jacobs/deficits-social-security_b_630
215.html
By Benjamin I. Page and Lawrence R. Jacobs
   Memo to Pete Peterson: Americans don't want cuts Social Security - and
here's the proof.
   Deficit-hawk and investment banker Pete Peterson has devoted a
substantial part of his $2.8 billion fortune to pushing for cuts in
entitlements like Social Security, in the name of deficit reduction. His
Foundation lavishly funded the AmericaSpeaks "town hall" forums held on
Saturday, the results of which will be presented to the national Deficit
Commission this week -- purporting to tell what the American public thinks
about various deficit-reduction options.
   The AmericaSpeaks forums suffered from serious defects as measures of
public opinion. Yet the results, perhaps to Peterson's surprise, correctly
indicated that Americans are strongly committed to Social Security. Large
majorities oppose cutting Social Security benefits, even for the sake of
deficit reduction.
   The AmericaSpeaks town halls failed to convene a representative sample
of Americans: they opened their doors to self-selected political activists
with extreme views, possibly hoping to draw Tea Party backers. Their
intense emphasis on reducing budget deficits "primed" participants to focus
on deficits rather than on the needs of retirees when evaluating Social
Security policy. The information provided to participants was one-sided,
speculative, and in some cases quite misleading: it overstated the "crisis"
in Social Security funding, understated the current burden of payroll taxes
on ordinary workers, and failed to convey the extent to which millions of
retirees count on stable, dependable Social Security benefits. The policy
options that were discussed tilted rightwards.
   These town halls -- like deliberative forums in general -- should not be
taken as accurate measures of "true" or "deliberative" public opinion.
Carefully designed and carefully interpreted opinion surveys, based on
representative samples from the whole country and carried out in natural
settings rather than the artificial and manipulable "fish bowl" of town
hall meetings, can do a much better job of revealing what the American
public thinks.
   Remarkably, however, AmericaSpeaks got lucky (or perhaps, from
Peterson's point of view, unlucky.) Despite all the biases, on several
issues town hall participants came up with opinions not very different from
those that have been expressed by majorities of Americans in dozens of
well-designed national surveys. Participants opposed cuts in Social
Security benefits, insisting that benefits must be preserved when balancing
the budget. They wanted to strengthen the economy, favoring the current
stimulus bill (stalled in the Senate) by a margin of 51% to 38%. In order
to reduce budget deficits, most favored cutting defense spending and
enacting progressive tax measures: raising the payroll tax "cap" so that
incomes over $106,800 are subject to the tax (85% in favor); raising
high-end corporate and personal income taxes; and imposing new taxes on
carbon and on securities transactions. Only on the Social Security
retirement age did the results conspicuously stray from actual public
opinion.


Demand is King - Why Afghanistan's Poppies Aren't the Problem
http://www.counterpunch.org/mercile06302010.html
By JULIEN MERCILLE  June 30, 2010
   For years, there has been much discussion about the best strategy to rid
Afghanistan of its poppies. Eradication, says Bush. Interdiction and
alternative livelihoods, retorts Obama. Licensing and production for
medicinal purposes, suggested the Senlis Council. The issues have been
fiercely debated: Would there be enough demand for Afghanistan's legal
morphine? Is the government too corrupt to implement this or that scheme?
To what extent will eradication alienate farmers? Which crops should we
substitute for poppies?
   These questions are not unimportant, but fundamentally, they do not
address the primary source of Afghan drug production: the West's (and
Russia's) insatiable demand for drugs.
   Afghanistan accounts for about 90% of global illicit opium production.
Western Europe and Russia are its two largest markets in terms of
quantities consumed and market value (the United States is not an important
market for Afghan opiates, importing the drugs from Latin America instead).
Western Europe (26%) and Russia (21%) together consume almost half (47%)
the heroin produced in the world, with four countries accounting for 60% of
the European market: the United Kingdom, Italy, France and Germany. In
economic terms, the world's opiates market is valued at $65 billion, of
which heroin accounts for $55 billion. Nearly half of the overall opiate
market value is accounted for by Europe (some $20 billion) and Russia ($13
billion). (Iran is also a large consumer of opium, with smaller amounts of
heroin). The situation is similar for cocaine, for which the US and Europe
are the two dominant markets (virtually all coca cultivation takes place in
Colombia, Peru and Bolivia). [1]
   In short, it is the West that has a drug problem, not producer countries
like Afghanistan (or Colombia): demand is king and drives the global
industry.
How should we reduce opiate consumption and its negative consequences in
the West and Russia? Drug policy research has typically offered four
methods. There is a wide consensus among researchers that such methods
should be ranked as follows, from most to least effective: 


Angle Calls Unemployed Americans 'Spoiled,' Claims There Are Plenty Of
Jobs Out There
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/06/30/angle-job/
   Yesterday, after weeks of ducking interviews with the mainstream press,
Senate candidate Sharron Angle - who is running on the Republican ticket
in Nevada - appeared on Face to Face with Nevada journalist Jon Ralston
to clarify some of her positions, including her view that unemployment
benefits should be cut because "spoiled" workers are living off of them
instead of getting a job.
   Ralston asked Angle what she meant by that statement, and Angle replied
that there are plenty of jobs out there for the unemployed, but extended
benefits are discouraging workers from reentering the workforce because
they pay more than entry-level work does:
    "They keep extending these unemployment benefits to the point where
people are afraid to go out and get a job because the job doesn't pay as
much as the unemployment benefit does. . What has happened is the system
of entitlement has caused us to have a spoilage with our ability to go out
and get a job. . There are some jobs out there that are available.
Because they have to enter at a lower grade and they cannot keep their
unemployment, they have to make a choice now."

Subj: Choosing Healthy Foods Now Called a Mental Disorder

In its never-ending attempt to fabricate "mental disorders" 
out of every human activity, the psychiatric industry is now 
pushing the most ridiculous disease they've invented yet: 
"Healthy eating disorder."

This is no joke: If you focus on eating healthy foods, you're 
"mentally diseased" and probably need some sort of chemical 
treatment involving powerful psychotropic drugs. The Guardian 
newspaper reports, "Fixation with healthy eating can be sign 
of serious psychological disorder" and goes on to claim this 
"disease" is called orthorexia nervosa -- which is basically 
just Latin for "nervous about correct eating."

But they can't just called it "nervous healthy eating disorder" 
because that doesn't sound like they know what they're 
talking about. So they translate it into Latin where it sounds 
smart (even though it isn't). That's where most disease names 
come from: Doctors just describe the symptoms they see with 
a name like osteoporosis (which means "bones with holes in 
them").

Getting back to this fabricated "orthorexia" disease, the Guardian 
goes on to report: "Orthorexics commonly have rigid rules around

Wait a second. So attempting to avoid chemicals, dairy, soy and 
sugar now makes you a mental health patient? Yep. According 
to these experts. If you actually take special care to avoid 
pesticides, herbicides and genetically modified ingredients 
like soy and sugar, there's something wrong with you.

Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS

Thanks to Trading Post Paul for this one.  

While the Smart Grid may aid us with assurance of smooth operations re:
electrical needs, I cannot but help wonder what the effects of the wireless
system will have on the human energy system. Already warnings have been made
with regard to affects from wireless phone systems and damage to the human
brain in the form of cancer. 

With so many toxic substances released into the air, coupled with the subtle
energy vibrations produced by cell phones, wireless phones, computers and
now the Smart Grid what will happen with the human body as the subtle energy
vibrations within it are affected by these outside influences?  

Any comments on this?

The Smart Grid: The Future is Now
Greg Brown Co-CEO, Motorola
Posted: June 30, 2010 05:25 PM

html?ir=Green		

This year's hurricane and tornado seasons threaten to bring power outages
and remind us once again of the challenges facing our current electric grid
system. Thousands of people could be without power and will look for
solutions to prevent similar disruptions in the future. While the
short-term remedy may require firing up a home generator, the long-term
solution is a smart grid.

At Motorola, we are currently partnering with U.S. electric utilities to
provide the wireless communications infrastructure to create a smarter
grid. Smart grid communication infrastructure is basically the Internet for
electricity transmission and distribution systems, with information
technologies embedded throughout the system such as digital meters, remote
sensors and data communications devices. Smart grid technologies provide
energy producers and consumers with real-time information and better
control of the electric grid, improving energy reliability, reducing energy
costs and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate
change.

We can improve energy delivery and reliability. Power outages cost
Americans more than $150 billion a year. That's about $500 per person.
Currently, most power companies do not have communications systems that
reach their entire grid infrastructure and often don't know there has been
a power outage until a customer calls to report it. Advanced smart grid
communication technologies will give power companies greatly enhanced
capabilities to remotely monitor and control energy distribution systems to
determine where the outage has occurred, which customers have been affected
and how to re-route energy around problems. More importantly, with more
frequent monitoring and diagnostics to enable effective preventative
maintenance, the utility will be able to prevent an outage from occurring
in the first place.

We can reduce consumer energy costs. In-home smart metering devices - a
component of a smarter grid - can help consumers save energy and money.
Smart meters and in-home displays provide energy data to consumers,
allowing them to monitor their consumption patterns and better manage their
electricity use. Studies show that simply giving people access to and
control of this information can result in energy savings of 5-15 percent.
With better information, consumers can visibly see the economic benefit of
turning down their air conditioning on hot summer days or switching off the
lights when they leave a room.

We can help fight climate change. It's clear that human activity is warming
our planet, and we must act to reduce our contribution to the problem. A
smart grid will not only save energy costs and reduce our carbon footprints
by reducing energy consumption but also it will make it easier to integrate
energy from renewable sources onto the grid, two critical elements to
reducing climate change-causing emissions. According to a report released
by the Boston Consulting Group and GeSi, a smart grid in the U.S. could
reduce emissions by as much as 7.5 percent by 2020 - nearly half of the
reductions proposed by the U.S. Congress.

To achieve these benefits, we need the right policies to incent the
transition to a smarter grid. In February 2009, the U.S. Congress earmarked
$4.5 billion for smart grid development in the stimulus bill and more
incentives are included in the comprehensive energy and climate bill
introduced last month in the Senate. In the meantime, the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission can begin revising regulations created for a century
old electric system to make way for a 21st century smart grid.

In addition to the right policies, a secure wireless data system to
transmit energy information will be essential to protect the electrical
grid. At Motorola, we have a proven history of providing secure and
dependable voice radio systems for the military, police and fire
departments and utilities. We will continue to partner with utility
companies to bring the same level of quality and reliability they've
experienced with our voice radio systems to their wireless data systems for
a smarter grid.

We can create a more reliable, less costly and environmentally responsible
electricity system. The technology is available, the benefits are clear,
and it's time to take action.

Subject: [GJM] US studies see heart risk with diabetes drug
Message-ID: <000601cb1978$1234ef20$369ecd60$@net>

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two studies released on Monday reported serious heart
risks with diabetes pill Avandia as U.S. regulators decide whether the drug
should stay on the market.

An analysis of 56 clinical trials found Avandia increased the chances of a
heart attack by 28 percent to 39 percent, researchers at
<http://www.righthealth.com/topic/Cleveland%20Clinic?p=clinkl&as=clink&ac=14
32&afc=0204772820> the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio reported in an update to a
2007 study that sparked intense debate about the drug.

Dr.
<http://www.righthealth.com/topic/Steven%20Nissen?p=clinkl&as=clink&ac=1432&
afc=0204772820> Steven Nissen, the lead author and an outspoken Avandia
critic, said the results from more than 35,000 patients gave a more complete
picture that reinforced his earlier concerns.

"A drug that increases the risk of heart attack by a third or more in
diabetics represents a huge public health burden," Nissen, the Cleveland
Clinic's head of cardiology, said in an interview. He said the drug should
go off the market.

In another study released on Monday, government researchers said an analysis
of more than 227,000 U.S. Medicare patients found Avandia (from
<http://www.righthealth.com/topic/GlaxoSmithKline?p=clinkl&as=clink&ac=1432&
afc=0204772820> GlaxoSmithKline Plc) was more dangerous to the heart than
another drug called Actos (from
<http://www.righthealth.com/topic/Takeda%20Pharmaceutical%20Company?p=clinkl
&as=clink&ac=1432&afc=0204772820> Takeda Pharmaceutical Co).

Those findings, reported earlier this month by Reuters and others, were
published online by
<http://www.righthealth.com/topic/Journal%20of%20the%20American%20Medical%20
Association?p=clinkl&as=clink&ac=1432&afc=0204772820> the Journal of the
American Medical Association. The study's lead researcher is Food and Drug
Administration reviewer
<http://www.righthealth.com/topic/Davey%20Graham?p=clinkl&as=clink&ac=1432&a
fc=0204772820> David Graham, a whistleblower who has argued for years that
Avandia is too risky.

Top FDA officials have disagreed, and Glaxo has vigorously defended the
drug.

In February, the FDA said it was again reviewing Avandia's risks and called
an advisory panel meeting for next month.

The new studies are "important contributions to the discussion of Avandia's
safety," FDA Deputy Commissioner
<http://www.righthealth.com/topic/Joshua%20Sharfstein?p=clinkl&as=clink&ac=1
432&afc=0204772820> Joshua Sharfstein said in an interview. The agency and
the panel will consider those findings plus others, including FDA analyses
not yet made public, he said.

The panel could urge keeping the drug on the market with a warning, or it
could suggest a ban on future sales. The FDA usually follows panel
recommendations.

The FDA, which approved Avandia 11 years ago, will "review all the available
evidence and make the best possible decision," Sharfstein said.

In the meantime, the agency has advised doctors and patients to continue
using Avandia as directed. The current FDA-approved warning on Avandia says
heart attack data are "inconclusive."

Glaxo now is facing lawsuits from patients claiming harm from the drug,
known generically as
<http://www.righthealth.com/topic/Rosiglitazone?p=clinkl&as=clink&ac=1432&af
c=0204772820> rosiglitazone.

The company said six randomized clinical trials, the gold standard for
medical studies, showed Avandia did not increase the overall risk of heart
attack, stroke or death.

The studies released on Monday are among the largest of Avandia, but they
rely on a combination of multiple trials or past Medicare claims. Such
studies are considered less reliable than randomized clinical trials.

In an editorial discussing Graham's findings, Dr. David Juurlink of the
Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences in Toronto argued for erring on
the side of public safety in the face of uncertainty about risks.

"Accumulating concerns about (Avandia) make it difficult to advance a cogent
argument why, exactly, a patient might want to receive the drug," Juurlink
wrote.

Many of the 23 million U.S. diabetics take medicines to lower blood sugar.
The goal is to prevent disease complications such as blindness, amputations
and heart disease, the leading killer of people with diabetes.

But critics say Avandia seems to contribute to heart damage. Nissen's study,
published by the
<http://www.righthealth.com/topic/Archives%20of%20Internal%20Medicine?p=clin
kl&as=clink&ac=1432&afc=0204772820> Archives of Internal Medicine, estimated
one more heart attack would occur for every 37 to 52 people who took the
drug for five years.

Graham's analysis, done with researchers at the FDA and the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services, found a 27 percent higher stroke risk for
Avandia over Actos, a 25 percent greater risk of heart failure and a 14
percent higher chance of dying.

"In older Americans with diabetes, taking Avandia is detrimental to your
health" and patients "are far better off taking (Actos)," Graham said in an
interview.

Both Graham and Nissen have been asked to speak to the FDA panel, Sharfstein
said.

Diabetics have many alternatives as 12 classes of drugs are approved to
lower blood sugar, Nissen said. They include older generic drugs such as
metformin and newer medicines such as Merck's
<http://www.righthealth.com/topic/Sitagliptin?p=clinkl&as=clink&ac=1432&afc=
0204772820> Januvia andAstraZeneca and

Message-ID: <002301cb1989$9a7f5080$cf7df180$@net>

Moving Into:  TOTAL  WELLNESS 

 

As you all know, I've been studying Bipolar Disorder for quite awhile now,
and have always considered it to be a "social disease." In fact, I wrote
awhile back on Facebook that I thought one facet of this conundrum is that
so many of us are opposed to war, yet we have a government that loves war,
which encases us in a Catch 22 that we can't maneuver out of.  And this, and
other things like it is what causes the 'pain' we find ourselves in as we go
looking for anything to self-medicate with. 

 

So, I am eternally greatful to Eileen Workman for posting this to Facebook
and sharing it with many others.  And I wanted to share it with list members
here since she is a newer member of the Co-learner's List.  

 

One of the things that has been discovered with regard to people who suffer
from BPD is that many of them are extremely bright.  And this certainly
applies to Eileen.   

 

With love and in gratitude for all that you do, Eileen.   And I hope we hear
more from you.

Resolving Human Bipolarity


As a woman who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder for a while now,
I've had the opportunity to observe how this so-called "disease" manifests
inside me, as well as to notice when and why it manifests. I've also learned
what to do to help myself move beyond it, to the point where it no longer
feels like a medical disorder but has actually become a helpful tool for
navigating reality. 

The good news is, bipolar disorder isn't "personal." It's actually happening
to a whole lot of people these days, which means it's probably something
humanity has to move through as part of a collective evolutionary shift in
our consciousness. 

The best way to explain what I see as the cause of bipolar disorder is to
use a computer metaphor most people can understand. Anyone who's ever owned
a computer knows that they rely on a basic operating system to make them
work. Programmers write applications specific to the operating system using
languages the system understands. Things may run smoothly for a while, but
inevitably we learn that the operating system we've been using has some
serious limitations, so we upgrade to a new operating system. Unfortunately
though, after we upgrade we often discover that our old applications will no
longer run on the new operating system. That means we need to buy brand new
applications (or application upgrades) to get our new system to work.

The modern human brain - like many computers nowadays - is concurrently
running dual operating systems: let's call them Humanity 1.0 and Humanity
2.0. Humanity 1.0 has been mankind's default operating system for many
thousands of years now. It's a system that basically tells us we're each
separate from everything else and that life is a win/lose game. Humanity
1.0's programs are filled with usses and thems, victims and persecutors, the
victors and the vanquished. In Humanity 1.0, mankind is the ruler of all
that he sees and the entire natural world is his to exploit for strategic
advantage. Virtually all our present social applications - our traditional
religions, judicial systems, educational systems, economic infrastructures
and political systems - were designed to operate effectively using Humanity
1.0. 

Sometime in the recent past a new operating system birthed itself into
being, one with fewer limitations and a lot of exciting possibilities for
the future. It's a pretty cool system too, in that it removes the fear of
loss from the game of life and replaces it with things like trust, love and
social harmony. Humanity 2.0 informs us we live in a unified, interconnected
and fully alive world in which our differentiation doesn't separate us from
everything else so much as makes us more valuable to the whole, which in
turn nourishes and supports us as individuals and as a collective. Humanity
2.0 proposes that, because everything in life is inextricably
interconnected, the only way any of us can truly win is if we all play a
win/win game. In Humanity 2.0, mankind's role is to carefully steward the
world's natural resources for the long term benefit of all the life forms
with whom we share our space. While Humanity 2.0 is a wonderful operating
system, to date mankind hasn't written many applications that run on it.
That makes it really hard for our brains to function well in 2.0, because
our existing programs only run on 1.0.

What, you're probably asking by now, does any of this have to do with human
bipolar disorder? My proposition, based on my own internal experience, is
that what we presently call bipolar disorder is actually a clinical
observation of what happens to people under one of four problematic
operating conditions: 

1) Their minds are running on Humanity 1.0 and they perceive themselves as
big losers in the game of life (depression.) 

2) Their minds are running on Humanity 1.0 and they momentarily perceive
themselves as huge winners in the game of life (mania.) 

3) Their minds are running on Humanity 2.0, but they keep bucking up against
those who are running on 1.0 and don't understand how to play a win/win game
(depression.)

4) Their minds are running on Humanity 2.0, but they haven't yet found
enough useful applications to help them manage the system's immense
capacities and bring some working structure to the game of life (mania).

The trouble is, none of the programs we've written for Humanity 1.0 will run
on Humanity 2.0, because win/lose games are fundamentally incompatible with
a win/win operating system. If we try running a 1.0 program on the 2.0
system we wind up with a total system crash, which I can tell you REALLY
hurts the head! A hard reboot will eventually restart the system, but it
isn't a pleasant experience from inside. 

For an example of the kind of system incompatibility I'm talking about,
let's consider the environmental folks known as "ELF," which stands for
"Environmental Liberation Front." As 2.0 operators, they fervently want all
of us to do whatever we can to nurture and support the environment that
sustains us. So far, so good. The trouble begins though, when they then go
out and blow up automobile dealerships that sell gas guzzling trucks and
SUV's to make their point. That's clearly a 1.0 solution for a 2.0
operation. It's also bound to get the attention of the 1.0 police, who
perceive the new system as some kind of worm, virus or other no-good
intruder and try to kill it, or at least box it up for a good long time so
it can't create any more conflict with the 1.0 system.

An example of 2.0 software that some people tried - and failed miserably -
to run on the 1.0 system would be (don't bite my head off!) communism. As an
economic philosophy communism was a win/win application, written to
illustrate what our world could look like if everyone supported everyone
else in maximizing their talents, passions and skills, then we each gifted
of our abilities freely to everyone else. It predicted a world of peaceful
abundance, and would have been just fine running on Humanity 2.0. The
trouble with applying communism to society at the time it was first
implemented was that the 2.0 operating system wasn't up and running in
nearly enough human beings, so the proponents of communism tried to jam it
onto Humanity 1.0 using the power and fear of fascism to make it work.
Win/win games can't succeed at the point of a gun, so the 2.0 program
crashed and burned and everyone assumed the program itself was very badly
written. Unfortunate, but predictable with the benefit of 2.0 hindsight.

The key to successfully navigating this complex systems/programming mess
seems to be twofold. First, we must remember there is always an operator -
our own internal sense of awareness - who can choose, at any moment, which
operating system he or she wants to run. If we don't choose consciously, our
unconscious mind will choose a system for us, which means by default we'll
mainly be running the very limited Humanity 1.0, since it's the system most
compatible with our existing applications. If we choose instead to
consciously run Humanity 2.0, which is kind of like an iPhone on super
steroids, we then have to take some responsibility for designing new
software for everyone else so they can see what a really cool system we're
able to run. The early software we write probably won't shake up the world,
but if we can design a couple of really neat applications and begin using
them consistently we're going to demonstrate swiftly how much more we can
collectively accomplish - and how much faster - using 2.0. One amazing 2.0
application already in operation is the Internet itself, which offers a
dizzying array of information and fresh new ideas to anyone with access to a
computer...and does so for free, out of the deep desire to give and share of
ourselves. 

My recommendation is that everyone check out the new Humanity 2.0 operating
system for themselves and play around with the possibilities. Let's then put
our heads together and see what software we can come up with to make it work
for us all. The sooner we do so, the quicker we can retire Humanity 1.0 with
honors, and the sooner "bipolar disorder" will become a disease of the past.

Laura, thanks much for this information.  I've posted an article below your
message re:  nanoantennas.   It is also going to be possible to embed these
nanocells into paint at some point in time and further enable us in having
technology available that uses less resources and less energy to
manufacture.  But the challenge here as noted previously is that it will
dramatically reduce the need for human labor.    And while no one is ready
to acknowledge this it is MHO that this is what is affecting the job market
right now.  And the only answer to this is to design a new economy that fits
the needs of the time, for instance a "resource-based" economy.  But the
question in this regard is, again IMHO, "how many people are going to
starve?" before this happens.

A collaboration of physicists, scientists and businesses have teamed up to
create cheap and highly effective solar cells on a nanoscopic scale.
Spearheaded by the  <http://www.inl.gov/featurestories/2007-12-17.shtml>
Idaho National Laboratory, this team is onto a fresh way of producing solar
panels that can continue to absorb energy even after the sun has set. The
technology, not only efficient at nearly 80%, will also be cheap to
manufacture, at estimated pennies a yard.
A specialized manufacturing process will stamp tiny square spirals of a
conducting metal onto a think sheet of plastic that have been coined
"nanoantennas." At the slight width on the order of 1/25 the diameter of a
human hair, these nanoantennas can absorb energy produced through the
infrared spectrum. Infrared energy is produced in massive quantities by the
sun, a portion of which is absorbed by the earth only to be released as
radiation after the sun has set. These nanoantennas can absorb energy from
both the rays of the daylight sun and the heat radiated from the earth at a
higher efficiency than modern solar cells.


Steven Novak, a physicist at the Idaho National Laboratory spoke on this
technology he is working on at the National Nano Engineering Conference in
Boston. He said, "I think these antennas really have the potential to
replace traditional solar panels."
The technology simply mimics that of your cell phone or television antenna,
absorbing energy by resonance. The theory that has born the research to
produce these nanoantennas was based upon this platform; just make an
antenna small enough to absorb the miniscule wavelengths produced by
electromagnetic radiation.
The technology behind these atomic sized power modules is nothing new, but
it has taken many years to discover an efficient way to print these
miniscule spiraled antennas. It wasn't until the inception of booming
advancements in nanotechnology that this fine concept was taken from the
theory to the tooling with production of these nanoantennas. The team at the
INL forecast seeing the antennas produced akin to that of foil or plastic
wrap in rolls of highly efficient solar cells. The team has been able to
demonstrate an imprinting process with six-inch circular stamps, with each
stamp containing more than 10 million antennas.
Instead of pairing this technology up with conventional solar cells to give
them a boost in efficiency, the developers decided instead to make the
nanoantennas independent energy harvesters. The team has estimated that
individual nanoantennas are capable of absorbing nearly 80 percent of the
available energy bombarded onto us daily by the sun. That is a staggering
number compared to the conventional panels producing at around 20 percent.
Nanoantennas are not limited to silicon mediums, the circuits can actually
be made from a variety of conducting metals and the antennas can be printed
onto very thin and flexible materials such as polyethylene. The team has
also estimated that the nanoantenna arrays can be available for as much as
an inexpensive roll of carpet.
Although the physics of one resonating nanoantenna is certainly achievable,
the trick to making this work lies in the matrix of complex vast arrays. The
trouble will be in predicting the properties and perfecting the design
before tackling the manufacturing obstacles that lie ahead. Multiple
antennas create complex and sometimes unpredictable interactions. To jump
this hurdle the researchers are developing a computer model of the resonance
in these invisible structures, seeking out ways to fine-tune the efficiency
of an entire array through tinkering with the materials and shapes of the
antennas for example. "The ability to model these antennas is what's going
to make is successful, because we can't see these things," says Novack.
"They are hard to manipulate, and small tweaks are going to make big
differences."

Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS

Thanks to Trading Post Paul for this one.  

While the Smart Grid may aid us with assurance of smooth operations re:
electrical needs, I cannot but help wonder what the effects of the wireless
system will have on the human energy system. Already warnings have been made
with regard to affects from wireless phone systems and damage to the human
brain in the form of cancer. 

With so many toxic substances released into the air, coupled with the subtle
energy vibrations produced by cell phones, wireless phones, computers and
now the Smart Grid what will happen with the human body as the subtle energy
vibrations within it are affected by these outside influences?  

Any comments on this?

The Smart Grid: The Future is Now
Greg Brown Co-CEO, Motorola
Posted: June 30, 2010 05:25 PM

This year's hurricane and tornado seasons threaten to bring power outages
and remind us once again of the challenges facing our current electric grid
system. Thousands of people could be without power and will look for
solutions to prevent similar disruptions in the future. While the
short-term remedy may require firing up a home generator, the long-term
solution is a smart grid.

At Motorola, we are currently partnering with U.S. electric utilities to
provide the wireless communications infrastructure to create a smarter
grid. Smart grid communication infrastructure is basically the Internet for
electricity transmission and distribution systems, with information
technologies embedded throughout the system such as digital meters, remote
sensors and data communications devices. Smart grid technologies provide
energy producers and consumers with real-time information and better
control of the electric grid, improving energy reliability, reducing energy
costs and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate
change.

We can improve energy delivery and reliability. Power outages cost
Americans more than $150 billion a year. That's about $500 per person.
Currently, most power companies do not have communications systems that
reach their entire grid infrastructure and often don't know there has been
a power outage until a customer calls to report it. Advanced smart grid
communication technologies will give power companies greatly enhanced
capabilities to remotely monitor and control energy distribution systems to
determine where the outage has occurred, which customers have been affected
and how to re-route energy around problems. More importantly, with more
frequent monitoring and diagnostics to enable effective preventative
maintenance, the utility will be able to prevent an outage from occurring
in the first place.

We can reduce consumer energy costs. In-home smart metering devices - a
component of a smarter grid - can help consumers save energy and money.
Smart meters and in-home displays provide energy data to consumers,
allowing them to monitor their consumption patterns and better manage their
electricity use. Studies show that simply giving people access to and
control of this information can result in energy savings of 5-15 percent.
With better information, consumers can visibly see the economic benefit of
turning down their air conditioning on hot summer days or switching off the
lights when they leave a room.

We can help fight climate change. It's clear that human activity is warming
our planet, and we must act to reduce our contribution to the problem. A
smart grid will not only save energy costs and reduce our carbon footprints
by reducing energy consumption but also it will make it easier to integrate
energy from renewable sources onto the grid, two critical elements to
reducing climate change-causing emissions. According to a report released
by the Boston Consulting Group and GeSi, a smart grid in the U.S. could
reduce emissions by as much as 7.5 percent by 2020 - nearly half of the
reductions proposed by the U.S. Congress.

To achieve these benefits, we need the right policies to incent the
transition to a smarter grid. In February 2009, the U.S. Congress earmarked
$4.5 billion for smart grid development in the stimulus bill and more
incentives are included in the comprehensive energy and climate bill
introduced last month in the Senate. In the meantime, the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission can begin revising regulations created for a century
old electric system to make way for a 21st century smart grid.

In addition to the right policies, a secure wireless data system to
transmit energy information will be essential to protect the electrical
grid. At Motorola, we have a proven history of providing secure and
dependable voice radio systems for the military, police and fire
departments and utilities. We will continue to partner with utility
companies to bring the same level of quality and reliability they've
experienced with our voice radio systems to their wireless data systems for
a smarter grid.

We can create a more reliable, less costly and environmentally responsible
electricity system. The technology is available, the benefits are clear,
and it's time to take action.

Dear friends around Europe,





Right now the European Parliament is deciding on legislation that would ban illegal timber, which devastates forests and enriches organized crime. But certain MEPs from countries with large timber industries, are threatening to water-down the proposal. Sign the petition to ban imports of illegal timber and save our forests: 




 
Within days, the European Parliament could ban illegal timber from entering the EU market -- but powerful companies stand in the way.

Forests are the habitat and life source of many peoples and are essential in preventing climate change, but while there is high demand for timber, illegal logging thrives, killing species, and fuelling corruption and organized crime. 

The European Council has just voted for harsh penalties and criminal sanctions for importers of timber harvested illegally in other countries. But now the Parliament has its say, and some MEPs from member states with large timber industries, are threatening to water down the crucial controls.

Let?s build a massive citizens? outcry to get the European Parliament to end illegal timber imports and save our forests. The petition will be delivered to MEPS as they go into vote on the legislation on July 7th. We only have a few days! Sign the petition below and send it on to everyone:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/eu_stop_illegal_timber/?vl 

20-40% of the global timber market is estimated to be illegal. That?s roughly 10-15 Billion Euros a year which is stolen and funnelled to criminal syndicates. The US has already approved strong laws against illegal timber -- but the EU is one of the world?s leading timber importers and as long as it does not ban the trade, it is directly responsible for around a 3 billion Euros share in this black market.

The social and environmental impacts of this industry are truly devastating and it is inciting money laundering, corruption and violence. Mismanaged deforestation drives global climate change and robs both indigenous peoples and animals, who rely on the forests, of crucial natural resources.

Last year the timber companies beat the ban, working with timber import countries to delay European legislation. But this year the Parliament has the chance to approve even stronger laws and some sectors of the timber industry as well as the Netherlands, UK, Denmark, Belgium and Spain have come out in favour of an outright ban. 

Let?s not let the companies which fuel misery and destruction win again. Together, we can tackle illegal logging and protect our forests and their peoples. Sign the petition -- then spread the word:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/eu_stop_illegal_timber/?vl 

Forests are a vital resource and our first line of defence on climate change, but they are being destroyed across the planet. When the EU imports this timber we become accomplices to the devastation and environmental crime that criminal networks inflict. Let's tell our leaders it's time to stop.

Moving Into:  TOTAL  WELLNESS 

 

As you all know, I?ve been studying Bipolar Disorder for quite awhile now, and have always considered it to be a ?social disease.? In fact, I wrote awhile back on Facebook that I thought one facet of this conundrum is that so many of us are opposed to war, yet we have a government that loves war,  which encases us in a Catch 22 that we can?t maneuver out of.  And this, and other things like it is what causes the ?pain? we find ourselves in as we go looking for anything to self-medicate with. 

 

So, I am eternally greatful to Eileen Workman for posting this to Facebook and sharing it with many others.  And I wanted to share it with list members here since she is a newer member of the Co-learner?s List.  

 

One of the things that has been discovered with regard to people who suffer from BPD is that many of them are extremely bright.  And this certainly applies to Eileen.   

 

With love and in gratitude for all that you do, Eileen.   And I hope we hear more from you.

 <http://eileen-workman.blogspot.com/2010/07/resolving-human-bipolarity.html> Resolving Human Bipolarity


As a woman who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder for a while now, I've had the opportunity to observe how this so-called "disease" manifests inside me, as well as to notice when and why it manifests. I've also learned what to do to help myself move beyond it, to the point where it no longer feels like a medical disorder but has actually become a helpful tool for navigating reality. 

The good news is, bipolar disorder isn't "personal." It's actually happening to a whole lot of people these days, which means it's probably something humanity has to move through as part of a collective evolutionary shift in our consciousness. 

The best way to explain what I see as the cause of bipolar disorder is to use a computer metaphor most people can understand. Anyone who's ever owned a computer knows that they rely on a basic operating system to make them work. Programmers write applications specific to the operating system using languages the system understands. Things may run smoothly for a while, but inevitably we learn that the operating system we've been using has some serious limitations, so we upgrade to a new operating system. Unfortunately though, after we upgrade we often discover that our old applications will no longer run on the new operating system. That means we need to buy brand new applications (or application upgrades) to get our new system to work.

The modern human brain - like many computers nowadays - is concurrently running dual operating systems: let's call them Humanity 1.0 and Humanity 2.0. Humanity 1.0 has been mankind's default operating system for many thousands of years now. It's a system that basically tells us we're each separate from everything else and that life is a win/lose game. Humanity 1.0's programs are filled with usses and thems, victims and persecutors, the victors and the vanquished. In Humanity 1.0, mankind is the ruler of all that he sees and the entire natural world is his to exploit for strategic advantage. Virtually all our present social applications - our traditional religions, judicial systems, educational systems, economic infrastructures and political systems - were designed to operate effectively using Humanity 1.0. 

Sometime in the recent past a new operating system birthed itself into being, one with fewer limitations and a lot of exciting possibilities for the future. It's a pretty cool system too, in that it removes the fear of loss from the game of life and replaces it with things like trust, love and social harmony. Humanity 2.0 informs us we live in a unified, interconnected and fully alive world in which our differentiation doesn't separate us from everything else so much as makes us more valuable to the whole, which in turn nourishes and supports us as individuals and as a collective. Humanity 2.0 proposes that, because everything in life is inextricably interconnected, the only way any of us can truly win is if we all play a win/win game. In Humanity 2.0, mankind's role is to carefully steward the world's natural resources for the long term benefit of all the life forms with whom we share our space. While Humanity 2.0 is a wonderful operating system, to date mankind hasn't written many applications that run on it. That makes it really hard for our brains to function well in 2.0, because our existing programs only run on 1.0.

What, you're probably asking by now, does any of this have to do with human bipolar disorder? My proposition, based on my own internal experience, is that what we presently call bipolar disorder is actually a clinical observation of what happens to people under one of four problematic operating conditions: 

1) Their minds are running on Humanity 1.0 and they perceive themselves as big losers in the game of life (depression.) 

2) Their minds are running on Humanity 1.0 and they momentarily perceive themselves as huge winners in the game of life (mania.) 

3) Their minds are running on Humanity 2.0, but they keep bucking up against those who are running on 1.0 and don't understand how to play a win/win game (depression.)

4) Their minds are running on Humanity 2.0, but they haven't yet found enough useful applications to help them manage the system's immense capacities and bring some working structure to the game of life (mania).

The trouble is, none of the programs we've written for Humanity 1.0 will run on Humanity 2.0, because win/lose games are fundamentally incompatible with a win/win operating system. If we try running a 1.0 program on the 2.0 system we wind up with a total system crash, which I can tell you REALLY hurts the head! A hard reboot will eventually restart the system, but it isn't a pleasant experience from inside. 

For an example of the kind of system incompatibility I'm talking about, let's consider the environmental folks known as "ELF," which stands for "Environmental Liberation Front." As 2.0 operators, they fervently want all of us to do whatever we can to nurture and support the environment that sustains us. So far, so good. The trouble begins though, when they then go out and blow up automobile dealerships that sell gas guzzling trucks and SUV's to make their point. That's clearly a 1.0 solution for a 2.0 operation. It's also bound to get the attention of the 1.0 police, who perceive the new system as some kind of worm, virus or other no-good intruder and try to kill it, or at least box it up for a good long time so it can't create any more conflict with the 1.0 system.

An example of 2.0 software that some people tried - and failed miserably - to run on the 1.0 system would be (don't bite my head off!) communism. As an economic philosophy communism was a win/win application, written to illustrate what our world could look like if everyone supported everyone else in maximizing their talents, passions and skills, then we each gifted of our abilities freely to everyone else. It predicted a world of peaceful abundance, and would have been just fine running on Humanity 2.0. The trouble with applying communism to society at the time it was first implemented was that the 2.0 operating system wasn't up and running in nearly enough human beings, so the proponents of communism tried to jam it onto Humanity 1.0 using the power and fear of fascism to make it work. Win/win games can't succeed at the point of a gun, so the 2.0 program crashed and burned and everyone assumed the program itself was very badly written. Unfortunate, but predictable with the benefit of 2.0 hindsight.

The key to successfully navigating this complex systems/programming mess seems to be twofold. First, we must remember there is always an operator - our own internal sense of awareness - who can choose, at any moment, which operating system he or she wants to run. If we don't choose consciously, our unconscious mind will choose a system for us, which means by default we'll mainly be running the very limited Humanity 1.0, since it's the system most compatible with our existing applications. If we choose instead to consciously run Humanity 2.0, which is kind of like an iPhone on super steroids, we then have to take some responsibility for designing new software for everyone else so they can see what a really cool system we're able to run. The early software we write probably won't shake up the world, but if we can design a couple of really neat applications and begin using them consistently we're going to demonstrate swiftly how much more we can collectively accomplish - and how much faster - using 2.0. One amazing 2.0 application already in operation is the Internet itself, which offers a dizzying array of information and fresh new ideas to anyone with access to a computer...and does so for free, out of the deep desire to give and share of ourselves. 

My recommendation is that everyone check out the new Humanity 2.0 operating system for themselves and play around with the possibilities. Let's then put our heads together and see what software we can come up with to make it work for us all. The sooner we do so, the quicker we can retire Humanity 1.0 with honors, and the sooner "bipolar disorder" will become a disease of the past.

This week, as the White House announced plans for yet another push on
federal comprehensive immigration reform, a network of lawmakers so far
representing 28 states - from border states to the heartland - announced
their rejection of Arizona's mean-spirited and economically disastrous
approach to immigrants, SB1070.

Maude Barlow: 'The World Has Divided into Rich and Poor as at No Time in
History'


As world leaders gathered in Toronto for the G20 summit last week, leading
activists from around the world joined thousands in Toronto's Massey Hall to
oppose the G20 agenda. Maude Barlow was one of the key speakers at the

Harry Veeder Why not propose it as a complementary form of money creation, instead of doing away with the debt based system entirely?

Robert Searle 
The answer is very simple!! CCs are very limited.....unless ofcourse virtually EVERYONE were to accept them! Since this is highly unlikely I do not waste time on the subject!
on Wednesday ? Delete Post

 

Harry Veeder The BUSINESS receiving the dollar does not need to know how it was created.
An unearned dollar should look just like debt-based dollar. It is that simple.
on Wednesday ? Report

 

Harry Veeder In other words there would be two methods for creating money but once the money is in circulation the point of origin won't matter to the business. 
on Wednesday ? Report

 

Robert Searle 
With respect, the problems of the world are now becoming too BIG, and a growing number require BIG investments especially if they have little, or no obvious commercial viability!

The idea of some made up parallel currency, or currencies which does not have legal tender is fine as far as it goes if there are an increasing number of takers. But for it to be taken more seriously would take probably many decades. This is the problem, and we, as a species may not have long to go on this planet. 

>From the way you have said your piece in the above I assume ofcourse that you not talking about forging legal tender!!!

on Thursday ? Delete Post

 

Harry Veeder "From the way you have said your piece in the above I assume of course that you not talking about forging legal tender!!!"

Of course not. It would require legislating an new authority with the power to 
issue and distribute legal tender without having to first borrow the money.

I think the power should be given to judicial branch of government since the issuing of the tender should serve as instrument of justice rather than as an instrument
for building war machines or to garner votes for politicians.



on Thursday ? Report

 

Harry Veeder For example, the tender could be issued to give people a basic income.
on Thursday ? Report

 

Robert Searle Now, I understand! Yes, this idea is to be found Transfinancial Economics. I will make the following points.

i) Banks ofcourse can create, and only lend money as something repayable (ie. as electronic money). Governments can create it as something which is non-repayable (ie. cash).

ii) The problem ofcourse of creating new money (as electronic data inthis instance) as something non-repayable is that this could be "too inflationary" if too much is created. But it is perfectly feasible.

iii) I like the idea of using the judicial branch of government to create new non-repayable money electronically....

iv) The private banks though might well block such a notion because ofcourse they could loose out on alot of interest. This is why in TFE it is suggested that special closely regulated banks (or Facilitator Banks...a term which has yet to appear in my p2pfoundation entry) could be used. They would have powers to partly, or fully fund various social, and economic projects which would otherwise have little, or no obvious commercial viability. They would have the high aims of transforming the capitalist system to something more sustainable, and environmentally friendly. In other words, high humanitarian aims. However, this would all ofcourse be in the context of a radical business model in which the electronic creation, and transmission of new money would like a loan by paid for by grant interest. This could be undertaken by the central bank, or even by the IMF which would electronically monitor all transactions, and have powers to prevent fraud instantly
 by electronic interception along with instant swingeing fines. Ofcourse, investors using earned money could be involved in all this too

v) As for inflation in connection with any progressive social,economic, and environmental project done sustainably the answer is quite simple. Objective checks would have to be undertaken to see whether there are enough resources to ensure success, and that there can be no serious market price rises. If some vital resource is lacking finance would be forthcoming to increase the capacity of a supplier, or suppliers.They would probably be paid to do it via the electronic creation, and transmission of new money.The above notion is similiar to the Advanced Market Commitment, or AMCs but with little, or no government intervention..... 

vi) Monetary reformers will understandably in the main not like the idea of using FBs, or special banking companies to undertake social, economic, and environmental projects of high humanitarian importance. But the legal framework should be such that any wrongdoing would be largely impossible. They would be transparent in every way, and yes, they would still earn profit through their business activities.

My link to TFE should explain more..but it needs to be updated.

Robert Searle It is becoming clear that the EU,and the IMF may have to authorize the massive creation of "enough" new non-repayable money to help the present situation. In others words, a form of Quantitative Easing. The "insurance" against defaulting repayable loans will probably not be enough to cure the situation. At present, the financial markets seem to indicate this...

QE will not lead to serious inflation if enough is created. Furthermore, loans would still be necessary, and ofcourse they would help overtime reduce the amount of money in the economy via repayment with interest ofcourse.

Soto Katsaros Money is not enough to cure the situation at hand here.
There has to be legislation which deprives the politicians of their right to "political immunity" which they have now.
The political immunity that Greek politicians have managed for themselves is what we want abolished here.
This is what makes them corrupt.
After the out-going of the King, the politicians in Greece managed to make themselves "kings" by introducing certain unacceptable "laws" for their benefit.
on Wednesday ? Report

 

Robert Searle 
You are correct. I admit I do not know the modern history of Greece.I have also said in the intro to TFE that itdoes NOT have the all the answers to all social economic problems. Yet, it may be the answer to many of them with the "right" planning from governments, ngos, and businesses working separately, or in parternship etc.

One way of getting rid of corruption apart from changing the law ideally is to have it monitored electronically making it difficult for those in power to misuse, or steal it as instant fines, and freezes on it could be undertaken. Obviously. this would require a legal agreement for this to happen as a temporary measure ofcourse. This may well be happening to a limited extent with the present "bailout" plan. But a better, and more improved electronic system is required which would help to reduce corruption to near zero. 
on Thursday ? Delete Post

 

Soto Katsaros Yes, you are very correct about the electronic monitoring dear Robert.
However computers were not installed around here in the public sector. They dont even know how many employees the state has !!
It is really a disgusting situation
Bribes are asked everywhere, from health to license issues.
During the 30 year democratic (metapolitical) era in Greece, after the King was ousted, the politicians did a horrible job for the country allthough they did a great gob for themselves and their parties.....but with a lot of loans !

There was no technology growth. There are a lot of educated people in Greece that don't have the appropriate employment. I am one of them.

Political immunity in Greece now means that not even the attorney general has the legal right to check any ministry's finances !
Theft is found everywhere and waste of funds.
Management is terrible and it is done in a peasant way. The whole thing is a nightmare.
They have to be forced to extinguish corruption in the public sector immediately because its costing billions and if it continues we see no visible future.
on Thursday ? Report

 

Robert Searle 
I see....I had not realized how bad the corruption was in Greece. I thought Italy was bad, and possibly the worst offender in the EU!! It looks now that I will have to revise my opinions..

However, computers must exist in the Greek private banking sector, and may be some kind of legal arrangement from the European Central Bank, and /or the IMF may be possible for temporary legal monitoring, and tracking of money (plus instant freezing of accounts) used by the Greek government. This may well have been part of the "bailout" arrangement as already indicated.

If you are an activist it may be a good idea to try find any confirmation of the above. The Greek people have the right to know!
on Thursday ? Delete Post

 

Soto Katsaros Greece has been found to be the second most corrupt country in Europe (after Poland)
Greece's problem is that the state employee enjoys a "permanency" for his/her job. He/she cannot be fired !! This is an extension of political immunity and it is manifested on to the government employees.
As it is therefore easy to understand, any employee in a powerful position can actually "sell" his/her signature. And thats what is happening !
Bribes and more bribes. Siemens said they paid Greek politicians 100 million euros in bribes but nobody went to jail !
This is the form of corruptrion that exists here covered by the system.
It is a Law problem.
We have to change the system to resemble more other systems, where the judiciary sector has power over the politicians, like in US for example. 
This has to be done immediately but who is going to do it ? I don't know.
Dear Robrt Searle 
it seems you are in banking, what is your interest in this? Are you an investor ?

on Thursday ? Report

 

Robert Searle 
My interest in this is to introduce people to a new way of thinking about the nature, and purpose of capital, and how it could be compatable with global justice. I am not an investor but rather a thinker. 

Yes, I can see that the situation is not purely a monetary one. The corruption must somehow go. I suppose the only way to do that is via movements ofcourse, and possibly even a "bloodless" revolution. Obviously, there have been a number of protests against the Austerity Measures, and the present Greek government. 

But if a peaceful "bloodless" change occurs at the top there would obviously have to be credible reforms in connection with the transparency of public finance. Here, good structural planning , and internal/external electronic checks of funds could be introduced to help reduce corruption as far as possible.
23 hours ago ? Delete Post

 

Soto Katsaros Protests are natural under these sircumstances. But the working class here did enjoy many privileges up to now.
The corruption certainly has to be contained, and the abolishment of this "political immunity" is necessary for this purpose. Maybe its not the only thing but its certainly essential in our opinion.
I think now you have a clearer understanding about the situation in Greece.
The politicians just have too much power around here, to the point of oligarchy.
They are an elite, but they are completely worthless and just "out for themselves" only
A bloodless revolution to change this would be the best senario of course. If they do nothing about it....... which they probably won't.

Robert Searle A sad situation! I hope somehow the Greek people will get this sorted out ideally without any bloodshed at all. Good Luck!

  ENCOURAGEMENT

July 1, 2010

I know the Gulf of Mexico oil eruption is devastating.

I know the June 2010 G20 event in Canada oppressed citizens via police
brutality outside the fence and a crippling financial agenda inside the
fence .

I know there was a stand down order to prevent police from stopping the
destructive "black bloc" who, in fact, were undercover police provocateurs
as were those exposed in Montebello in 2007.

I know the leadership of the world is running amok in greed and
exploitation.

I know the world financial system is manipulated and controlled for power
and greed.

I know the post 9/11extreme security measures worldwide are there to protect
the world's greedy powerful elite from the rebellion of the people, not to
protect the people. 

I know the environment is close to a breaking point.

I know there exists a world population reduction agenda of the cabal.

I know many people are fearful, discouraged, angry, confused, depressed.

But I also know there are countless brave souls striking back in defence and
growing in their strength and impact.

And I also know that there exists here on earth right now the technology to
change our world profoundly into a healthy physical and social one. Its
effects will  renew  the environment, prevent the permanent war state, and
free humanity from the enslavement  of debt. 

The problem is that this technology is either destroyed or suppressed or
sequestered by the  powerful cabal of powerful earthlings. Inventors are
either killed or threatened into silence. Scientists working on top secret
technology are compelled into agreements of silence. The technology of
renewable energy sources is used by powerful corporations to create killing
machines and to penetrate space for war instead of  peaceful purpose like
heating homes, and transporting people. 

In the face of the horrendous geological events in progress (and there are
more than just the Gulf of Mexico-volcanoes, sink holes, tsunamis), now more
than ever, it is crucial to our survival that people access the knowledge
that exists. There is no more time for dismissal or rejection of
information, for cowardice or arrogance. Confidence, determination,
steadfastness are our bones.

Nature's gift of microbes  is technology right now that cleans up oil spill
disasters. It has  a history of success right in the control  of certain
levels of Texas government.

Highly informed determined  people can organize and act to cause the release
and/or use of this technology right now. No need to ask why this previous
Texas experience of successful microbe clean up technology is being rejected
in the current Gulf oil disaster. We know  there are  those with unhealthy
agendas in control, but we do not have to accept that.

BP, taking and urging action.

For those individuals who feel they have no power or means of control, who
feel alienated, lost or alone, please just know that you can join others all
over the globe who are recognizing the power we all have inside us: the
power of our innate consciousness, our oneness with each other and the
universe, our will for good, our sense of right and wrong. Such people are
acting in their own communities or elsewhere, in small or large ways, alone
or with others guided by their own inner strength. We can all do this. Right
now I am writing to you, sending you some links. That is my little
contribution today. 

In our individual ways we are peace warriors. We are joined by countless
others globally. It is our knowledge of the power of humanity joined en
masse that is the driving force confronting and defeating the strangle hold
of evil that controls the world.  Remember Brzezinski's lament that  for the
first time in history most of the people know what is going on and that is
slowing down the NWO process.

This ''global political awakening'', Brzezinski writes, while unique in its
global scope today, originates in the ideas and actions of the French
Revolution, which was central in ""transforming modern politics through the
emergence of a socially powerful national consciousness."" Brzezinski
explains the evolution of the ''awakening''..."

Yes, in the Gulf of Mexico the dispersants, and gases, and the oil itself
are harming and killing. Yes FEMA appears to be on the verge of massive
evacuations probably to FEMA camps. But we can do more than wring our hands,
or be bitter, or depressed, or full of hate and desire for revenge. These
are all negative energies we should try to dispel. Instead we can activate
positive energy which vitalizes. We can get informed fast. We can spread the
word (and the information is really spreading).  We can dare to challenge
the boundaries of our thinking. We can dare to go outside the box. We can
dare to be brave and bold. We can join others who are moving to command the
release and use of solutions that exist.  

I urge you to look at the Orion Project, a non profit organization to inform
the public and to do research and development on new energy technologies.

See:     www.orionproject.org
<http://cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?BHgn-9xcA-T0LOH7> 

I urge you to study the Disclosure Project to inform yourself about the
advanced energy and propulsion technologies that are here on earth but
sequestered from our benefit and use. See:

www.disclosureproject.org <http://cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?BHgn-9xcB-T0LOH8>
(Thanks to Jerome Dauphin)
 
Also, I urge you to get and read Dr. Steven Greer's book Hidden Truth-
Forbidden Knowledge
ISBN 0-9673238-2-7   (If you cannot order it at your local bookstore,
address enquiries to Crossing Point Inc 27702 Crown Valley Pkwy. #148, Suite
D-4 Ladera Ranch CA 92694)

Rather than submitting to mind control of us by the cabal, we can control
our own minds and thereby control ourselves and our world.

For those individuals who feel they have no power or means of control, who
feel alienated, lost or alone, please just know that you can join others all
over the globe who are recognizing the power we all have inside us: the
power of our innate consciousness, our oneness with each other and the
universe, our will for good, our sense of right and wrong. Such people are
acting in their own communities or elsewhere, in small or large ways, alone
or with others guided by their own inner strength. We can all do this. Right
now I am writing to you, sending you some links. That is my little
contribution today. 

In our individual ways we are peace warriors. We are joined by countless
others globally. It is our knowledge of the power of humanity joined en
masse that is the driving force confronting and defeating the strangle hold
of evil that controls the world.  Remember Brzezinski's lament that  for the
first time in history most of the people know what is going on and that is
slowing down the NWO process.

This ''global political awakening'', Brzezinski writes, while unique in its
global scope today, originates in the ideas and actions of the French
Revolution, which was central in ""transforming modern politics through the
emergence of a socially powerful national consciousness."" Brzezinski
explains the evolution of the ''awakening''..."

Yes, in the Gulf of Mexico the dispersants, and gases, and the oil itself
are harming and killing. Yes FEMA appears to be on the verge of massive
evacuations probably to FEMA camps. But we can do more than wring our hands,
or be bitter, or depressed, or full of hate and desire for revenge. These
are all negative energies we should try to dispel. Instead we can activate
positive energy which vitalizes. We can get informed fast. We can spread the
word (and the information is really spreading).  We can dare to challenge
the boundaries of our thinking. We can dare to go outside the box. We can
dare to be brave and bold. We can join others who are moving to command the
release and use of solutions that exist.  

I urge you to look at the Orion Project, a non profit organization to inform
the public and to do research and development on new energy technologies.

See:     www.orionproject.org
<http://cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?BHgn-9xcA-T0LOH7> 

I urge you to study the Disclosure Project to inform yourself about the
advanced energy and propulsion technologies that are here on earth but
sequestered from our benefit and use. See:

Also, I urge you to get and read Dr. Steven Greer's book Hidden Truth-
Forbidden Knowledge

Rather than submitting to mind control of us by the cabal, we can control
our own minds and thereby control ourselves and our world.

Thanks to Lorin Kiely for this one.  At some point in time almost everyone
is going to need to grow their own food. 

We simply cannot continue to get our food supply from an average distance of
1500 miles from point-of-production to point-of- sale.  As the price of oil
continues to escalate, so will the price of food and at some point in the
not-too-distant future, the price will simply become unaffordable for most
people.  

 

As we saw recently, the unemployment benefits of 1.2 million people were cut
off due to the Republican agenda of wanting to pay to wage war rather than
to help people.  

 

How to ensure that everyone is fed is the question of the day.  So, even if
you are not in need of food today, someone else may be.  So, it would be
beneficial for everyone to grow food to donate to homeless shelters and
those who have no way of obtaining food.  

 

Think about it. 

 

With love and in gratitude for all that you do Lorin.

Unemployed Working Hard To Find Jobs, Despite Depiction As Spoiled Brats
Updated: 07- 3-10 10:58 AM
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/02/unemployment-rate-jobless_n_633805.
html
   Would-be Nevada Senator Sharron Angle has recently taken to depicting
America's unemployed as a group of people so spoiled by the extension of
unemployment benefits that they have basically stopped looking for work,
preferring to live on the dole than accept one of the many magical jobs she
claims are available. Angle's position is one that's been gaining steam
recently among 2010 candidates -- Rand Paul, for example, recently
characterized the unemployed as a group that needs to accept "a wage that's
less than we had at our previous job in order to get back to work," adding,
"Nobody likes that, but it may be one of the tough love things that has to
happen."
   It's not just candidates, however. Representative John Linder (R-Ga.) --
the ranking Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee -- citing a
"Detroit News story about landscaping businesses complaining that potential
employees rejected job offers in favor of collecting unemployment
benefits," decreed that "nearly two years of unemployment benefits are too
much of an allure for some."
   But Linder's example happens to be an exception. The basic reality for
America's job seekers is that currently there are five people looking for
work for every job opening. The average unemployment benefit is a scant
$290 per week. And, as Arthur Delaney reported on these pages in early
June, there are other difficult-to-ignore facts that harpoon the notion
that the unemployed are content to live off benefits:
    Larry Mishel of the Economic Policy Institute pointed out that only 67
percent of the 15 million unemployed receive benefits. Even if all those
people are enjoying the dole, shouldn't businesses still be able to hire
some of the other five million receiving no benefits at all?
   Exactly. If unemployment benefits truly tamp down the motivation of job
seekers, there would still be about five million people going after the
jobs that Sharron Angle believes exist with a rabid intensity. But enough
of the view from 30,000 feet. What is actually going on with job seekers in
America? Well, as it turns out, they are desperately seeking jobs, wherever
they may be:


Oil falls to 3-week low as recovery fears mount
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE65D3YT20100702
By Robert Gibbons  NEW YORK | Fri Jul 2, 2010 4:20pm EDT
   NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil prices fell a fifth straight day to
a three-week low on Friday as bearish U.S. job data fanned fears of a
double dip recession. U.S. crude oil futures slipped 81 cents, or 1.11
percent, to settle at $72.14 a barrel, the weakest close since June 8. The
$71.62 intraday low was the weakest since prices fell to $70.75 on June 8.
U.S. crude prices fell $6.72, or 8.52 percent, for the week the steepest
decline since the week ending May 7, when prices sank more than $11, or
nearly 13 percent as Europe's debt crisis put markets in a swoon. ICE Brent
crude oil futures fell 69 cents, or 0.95 percent, to settle at $71.65, the
weakest close since May 25.
   Oil prices initially seesawed after the Labor Department reported U.S.
nonfarm payrolls fell 125,000 in June, more than expected and the first
2010 decline. But the report also showed the unemployment rate fell to 9.5
percent, from 9.7 percent in May. Jobs were expected to have fallen
110,000, according to a Reuters survey. Adding to the anxiety about the
economy, the government later reported U.S. factory products orders fell
more than expected in May, the first decline in nine months and the
steepest drop since March 2009. The jobs report did show private sector
jobs rose 83,000, less than forecast but more than May's 33,000 tepid rise.
   "With all the gloom and doom before the report you could say it wasn't
as bad as it could have been, but it's probably not a positive for the
economy and that's the way the crude market is looking at it right now,"
said Robert Yawger, senior vice president, energy futures at MF Global in
New York.


California State Workers Brace For Minimum Wage
CATHY BUSSEWITZ | 07/ 3/10 12:49 PM

tml
   SACRAMENTO, Calif. - As the Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the
technology of the future, feared by humans. As governor, he's being foiled
by the technology of the past. For the second time in two years,
Schwarzenegger has ordered most state workers' pay cut to the federal
minimum wage because lawmakers missed their deadline to fix the state's $19
billion budget deficit. The Legislature's failure to act has left the state
without a spending plan as the new fiscal year begins.
   A state appellate court ruled in Schwarzenegger's favor Friday, but the
state controller, who issues state paychecks, says he can't comply. One
reason given by Controller John Chiang, a Democrat elected in 2006: The
state's computer system can't handle the technological challenge of
restating paychecks to the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour. Chiang cited
Friday's ruling by the 3rd District Court of Appeals, which said
"unfeasibility" would excuse him from complying with Schwarzenegger's
minimum wage order. He said a fix to the state's computerized payroll
system won't be ready until October 2012.
   Meanwhile, more than 200,000 state workers remain in limbo about the
size of their July paychecks while Chiang asks the court for guidance on
how to proceed. If wages are indeed cut to $7.25 an hour, employees will be
reimbursed once a budget is signed.
   At least one expert said the outdated nature of the payroll system
should not be an excuse for failing to comply with the governor's
directive. John Harrigan, who served as a division chief for the state's
payroll services from 1980 to 2006, said upgrading the system would be
complicated, time-consuming and expensive, but it could be done.


Move the Money, Starve the Empire
http://www.fpif.org/articles/move_the_money_starve_the_empire
by Christine Ahn   on Friday, July 2, 2010 by Foreign Policy in Focus
(FPIF)
   June 26 may have been the last day of the U.S. Social Forum (USSF) in
Detroit, but it might very well be the emergence of a more powerful antiwar
movement in this country. The U.S. Social Forum is a meeting place for
progressive social justice organizations to discuss issues, strategies, and
ideas for building a social movement in this country. The sessions on the
antiwar and anti-militarism track made several linkages: between the
domestic economic crisis and the bloated military budget, the expansion of
U.S. bases and the displacement of farmers and indigenous peoples from
their land and livelihoods, and the rise of militarism and violence against
women.
   We can't address the economic crisis blighting neighborhoods throughout
the United States without moving money away from war. That's the only part
of the national budget not being cut. Organizers at the USSF united two
disparate sectors. One is comprised of grassroots base-building
organizations with multicultural constituencies working to secure jobs,
education, and services. The other includes national peace organizations
with mostly white, middle-class membership.
   These two groups largely organize separately. But they came together at
the USSF because working poor people clearly can't get the jobs and
services they need without challenging military spending. Likewise, peace
groups can't end wars without a broad movement challenging the
military-industrial complex.
   25 Percent Cut
   Mike Prokosch is among the organizers of the 25% Solution campaign in
Massachusetts, which aims to cut a quarter, or about $250 billion, from the
Pentagon and other military agencies and institutions. The campaign wants
to redirect this money to social services, education, and job creation, all
of which have been slashed in this era of joblessness and foreclosures.
   "The military industrial complex is shaping peoples' choices and lives,"
Prokosch says, referring to the cycle of dependency that military bases and
institutions generate in towns in which it dominates the local economy. He
points to how Dorchester's high unemployment (which doubled in the last
year), cuts in job training for youth job training programs, and surging
dropout rates have fueled the military enlistment rates for the city's
youth. And the only sector of the economy that hasn't been slashed is the
military.
   "The more the military base grows the more the cycle of dependency
grows," says Prokosch, who has spent his entire life in the cause of peace.
He remains clear-eyed about the odds. After all, he reminds us, the U.S.
Empire has been growing for over a century and the defense budget for over
60 years. But he remains hopeful of the potential of a broad base of
diverse communities across the country working together to take on the
military-industrial complex: "If we want to do this, we we're going to have
to build something larger and more powerful than the military industrial
complex that can scare Congress more."
    Barbara Lott-Holland, an organizer with the Bus Riders Union of the
Labor Community Strategy Center, describes the tremendous militarization of
low-income neighborhoods in Los Angeles. "Our neighborhoods are militarized
zones in this country," Lott-Holland says, "terrorized in the name of the
war on drugs, the war on gangs, the war on poverty." She describes how the
United States has the largest prison population in the world, with over 2.2
million in prison, of which one million are black men. "There are more
black men in prison than there were during slavery." Many inner cities
today require students to go through metal detectors as they enter the
school and have police patrolling the hallways and grounds. "More high
schools now look like prisons," says Lott-Holland, and many classrooms in
elementary schools in Los Angeles don't even have windows. Lott-Holland
believes that "this country systematically treats youth as criminals,"
monitoring every move of brown and black youth from their schools to their
neighborhoods.
   U.S. Military Abroad
   Just as money for jobs, health care, education, and housing is going
from taxpayer pockets to feed the military-industrial complex, so is the
money for foreign military operations being used to displace farmers and
indigenous people in every region of the world. Members of the No U.S.
Bases movement described how the over 700 U.S. bases around the world have
become sites of conflict between American soldiers and the local
population. Meanwhile, the United States continues to expropriate land from
farmers and indigenous people to expand or build new bases.


Why Eating a Low-Fat Diet Doesn't Lead to Weight Loss 
Mark Hyman, MD Practicing physician and pioneer in functional medicine
Posted: July 3, 2010 09:58 AM

   Despite the common observation that obesity runs in families, genetic
research shows that the habits you inherit from your family are more
important than the genes you inherit. Obesity genes account for only five
percent of all weight problems. Then, we have to wonder, what causes the
other 95 percent of weight problems?
   We are seeing an epidemic of obesity in America today. It is the single
most important public health issue facing us. If genes do not account for
obesity, perhaps it is our high-fat diet that is to blame. That has been
the common belief in our society since nutritional low fat guidelines were
pushed upon us in the 1970's. It seems logical that eating fat makes you
fat. Fat contains nine calories per gram, so it would seem that eating more
fat (and more calories) would make you gain weight. But that's not what the
science reveals.
   Pioneering research by Harvard Medical School's David Ludwig reveals the
reason that low-fat diets do not work -- and identifies the true cause of
obesity for most Americans. Dr. Ludwig's research explains the real reasons
70 percent of Americans are overweight. In the 1980's not one state had an
obesity rate over 20 percent. In 2010, ONLY one state has an obesity rate
UNDER 20 percent. This is not a genetic problem.
   What the Research Tells Us about Dietary Fat
   In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association
(i) Dr. Ludwig correctly points out that careful review of all the studies
on dietary fat and body fat -- such as those done by Dr. Walter Willett of
the Harvard School of Public Health -- have shown that dietary fat is not a
major determinant of body fat. 


It's BP's Toxic World, We Just Live In It. Huge Toxic Release In Texas
Occurred Just Before Gulf Explosion.
By Susie Madrak Saturday Jul 03, 2010 12:00pm
http://crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/its-bps-toxic-world-we-just-live-it-h

   Astounding. Really, I knew it would take a while to get actual
regulators back in the regulatory agencies after BushCo, but isn't this
something someone should have known about -- and notified the public?
    TEXAS CITY, TEXAS -- Two weeks before the blowout in the Gulf of
Mexico, the huge, trouble-plagued BP refinery in this coastal town spewed
tens of thousands of pounds of toxic chemicals into the skies.
    The release from the BP facility here began April 6 and lasted 40 days.
It stemmed from the company's decision to keep producing and selling
gasoline while it attempted repairs on a key piece of equipment, according
to BP officials and Texas regulators.
    BP says it failed to detect the extent of the emissions for several
weeks. It discovered the scope of the problem only after analyzing data
from a monitor that measures emissions from a flare 300 feet above the
ground that was supposed to incinerate the toxic chemicals.
    The company now estimates that 538,000 pounds of chemicals escaped from
the refinery while it was replacing the equipment. These included 17,000
pounds of benzene, a known carcinogen; 36,000 pounds of nitrogen oxides,
which contribute to respiratory problems; and 189,000 pounds of carbon
monoxide.
    It is unclear whether the pollutants harmed the health of Texas City
residents, but the amount of chemicals far exceeds the limits set by Texas
and other states. Think about that. It exceeded the limits set by Texas,
which translates to a public health emergency.


Allegations emerge BP is dumping sand to cover oil

http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/allegations-emerge-bp-dumping-sa
nd-cover-o
   This needs to be investigated to find out if the allegations are true.
Allegations emerge BP is dumping sand to cover oil:
    C.S.'s original goal was to gain access to some of the areas being
guarded by BP contractors and deemed "off limits" to reporters, but
yesterday he, along with Save Our Shores's Judson Parker, made an
unexpected discovery.
    They believe that BP has been dumping sand on the beaches in order to
cover up oil. You can view some video Judson shot of the beach over here.
Read on...
  The above video apparently got the attention of Fox News who featured it
in the segment below, and naturally they asked if there was any proof BP
was doing the dumping, which there's not. When they're already trucking in
sand for those berms and keeping everyone away from the areas covered in
oil, I would not expect there to be any evidence unless some employee came
forward and said this is what they are doing.
   lean it up and the efforts just aren't doing a bit of good with the
tides full of oil coming in and out? No matter what they're doing it
doesn't appear to be making any difference. The beaches still have oil on
them underneath the sand as the above video clips show. It would be nice if
the media would get out there and demand some access to these sites and
find out. If they are just dumping sand over the oil it needs to stop
immediately.

Thanks to Trading Post Paul for forwarding this.  

An article well worth reading and considering; however, I do believe that
the author misses out on potential new inventions that may impact our
ability to create renewable energy sources sufficient to meet our needs.

195 Californias or 74 Texases to Replace Offshore Oil
http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6649
Posted by Gail the Actuary on July 3, 2010 - 10:30am
This is a guest post by Chris Nelder. It was originally published by
ASPO-USA.

As the Deepwater Horizon rig disaster continues to unfold, the peak oil
community has a "teachable moment" in which it can illuminate the
reality of our energy plight. The public has had a crash course in the
challenges of offshore oil, and learned a whole new vocabulary. They are
more aware than ever that the days of cheap and easy oil are gone.

What they do not yet grasp are the challenges in transitioning from fossil
fuels to renewables.

The Greens (anti-fossil fuel agitators) want to end offshore drilling, but
don't realize that their alternatives are in the wrong scale or the wrong
time frame to make a difference. The Browns (the fossil fuel industry) are
in full damage-control mode while rapidly losing the public trust.
Meanwhile, the politicians are focused on who's to blame and who will
pay, while skirting the fundamental problem of our addiction to oil.

We need to get this conversation back on track. Let's begin with some
simple facts.
Can Renewables Replace Offshore Oil?


Source: Energy Information Administration, Petroleum Navigator. Source
data.

Federal offshore Gulf of Mexico has been our last great hope for domestic
oil production against a four-decade declining trend. Offshore oil now
accounts for 1.7 million barrels per day (mbpd), or over 30%, of our
domestic production of 5.5 mbpd.What would it take to substitute wind for
offshore oil? At 5.8 MBtu heat value in a barrel of oil and 3412 BTU in a
kWh, 1.7 mbpd is equivalent to 2.9 billion kWh per day, or 1,059 billion
kWh a year. By comparison, total 2008 wind generation was 14.23 billion kWh
in Texas, and 5.42 billion kWh in California.

Therefore, to replace our offshore oil with wind, you'd need 195
Californias, or 74 Texases of wind, and probably 20 years to build it.
The Real Challenges of Energy Transition

Then there are some not-so-simple facts.

You can't simply substitute electricity for the heat value of displaced
oil. You must also build an entirely new infrastructure of wires and
electric engines and storage devices.

Building that new infrastructure will take decades of concerted effort and
cost trillions of dollars.and require lots of petroleum, natural gas, and
coal. We simply don't know how to build solar panels and wind turbines
and wires and generators without them.

The U.S. dependency on oil imports has grown steadily for nearly four
decades. At the same time, a global oil export crisis has been developing
as oil producers consume more of their own output and Asia outbids the West
for declining exports. The U.S. already spends around $300 billion a year
to import two-thirds of oil supply. Without offshore production, imports
would rise to over three-quarters of supply.

Our challenge is far more difficult than most people imagine.

We will have to execute energy transition even as our domestic production
continues to shrink, new prospects become more risky, competition for
global exports increases, our demand remains firm, and the price of oil
goes above our economic pain threshold.

Our only defense against the crushing weight of these forces will be to
aggressively improve efficiency.
Ten Ways to Do Absolutely Nothing about Your Offshore Oil Habit

Scale and time-to-market issues bedevil most of the typical Green
alternatives.

Hybrid cars currently hold about a 3% market share in the U.S., with a
lousy 295,528 units sold in 2009. Sales are growing at an anemic 6% per
year. The top selling hybrid maker, Toyota, has just lost the trust of its
consumers. Moreover, the sales outlook for new vehicles in general is poor
in a country still in the grips of recession.

No one has shown how hybrids can scale to offset millions of barrels of
crude per day in under 20 years. As far as I am aware, the only Wall Street
model that attempted it was Paul Sankey's Oct 2009 Deutsche Bank report,
which I found wanting. More credible is the model from Bank of America's
Tom Petrie, but it showed PHEVs taking from 15 to 40 years to get
meaningful traction against oil demand.

Cash for Clunkers replaced 690,000 vehicles, or about 0.3% of the total
U.S. fleet, with an average 9 mpg better fuel economy. About 300,000
barrels of gasoline per day will be saved as a result-roughly the same
amount that our oil demand would increase every year under a normal 1.5%
annual growth rate.

A real strategy for reducing oil demand would be far more radical. It would
aim to replace car and truck transport with rail, shifting at least 25% of
the load in 25 years and 50% of the load in 50 years. It would cost on the
order of $100 billion per year over a 20 year period to build. But the
Obama administration has only committed about $8 billion to rail under the
stimulus program, while spending far more money on the dead end of
road-building.

Transit-oriented development and walkable communities are excellent
strategies, but they take two or three decades to execute, or at least they
did in the bygone era of cheap and easy oil and credit. At the moment, most
mass transit agencies are having their budgets severely slashed, and nobody
is rebuilding subdivisions.

Soft solutions, like getting drivers to slow down and telecommute more
often, will accomplish little beyond the margins of demand. Biofuels have
severe and poorly-understood scaling issues of their own.

Oil consumption will only be marginally reduced under the American Power
Act (around 0.8 mbpd by 2030, according to a recent analysis by the
Petersen Institute), with its limp support for alternatives to liquid fuels
and its misguided focus on carbon emissions.

Carbon pricing would have been a useful approach 30 years ago. Today it's
a blunt tool, incapable of the surgical skill required to navigate energy
transition through 20 years of rough water.
A Junkie's Reality

Those who would shut down offshore oil drilling might want to consider
this: Over the next 20 years, the only real alternatives to offshore
drilling are to become even more dependent on oil imports at the worst
possible time, or trade it for the environmental horror of tar sands and
coal-to-liquids production.

I don't want to be cavalier about the environmental damage of the oil
spill. The Deepwater Horizon spill is a disaster in the same way that liver
failure is a disaster for a junkie. And that is our reality: scrounging
around back alleys and taking unsavory risks to get our daily fix.

Instead of knee-jerk political reactions to the oil spill, the Greens need
to understand the deep, intractable problems of energy transition.
Likewise, the Browns need to drop the strategies of denial and secrecy,
submit to transparency, reach out to the Greens, and begin building some
common ground around our mutual challenges.

This moment of truth must not be squandered. The task of the peak oil
community now should be to educate the public about the real problems and
realistic solutions. To focus our efforts on what goes into the engine, not
what comes out of the tailpipe. And to guide the public debate in a way
that unifies, not polarizes. For as Ben Franklin famously said, "We must,
indeed, all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."

Chris Nelder is an energy expert who has spent a decade studying and
writing about energy and related issues. He has written two books (Profit
from the Peak and Investing in Renewable Energy) and over 750 articles on
energy and investing, is a frequent media guest, and he lectures and
consults with business and government on the future of energy. He blogs at

Message-ID: <005601cb1c83$36695f80$a33c1e80$@net>

In considering what new economies might look like, the Zeitgeist Movement
profiles a "resource-based" economy.  

 

And someone just sent me a link to their Activist Guide and am forwarding it
on for your information and consideration.  

 

The Zeitgeist people, under the direction of Peter Josephs, are now doing a
major tour to introduce The Venus Project as a model for a resource-based
economy.  

 

Future Dawning is loosely linked with this movement.  While we feel it may
not be the place in which we will end up, we do believe it is a good place
from which to start.  And, since it is getting such a major promo, everyone
needs to be aware of it.

Pope slams cardinal who exposed abuse cover-up
June 29, 2010, San Francisco Chronicle/Associated Press
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/06/28/MNRF1E68UI.DTL

The Vatican on [June 28] issued an unprecedented rebuke of a top cardinal who had accused the retired Vatican No. 2 of blocking clerical sex abuse investigations, publicly dressing down a man who had been praised for his criticism of church abuse cover-ups. The silencing of Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, the archbishop of Vienna and long considered a papal contender, drew heated criticism from clerical abuse victims. They said the Vatican should be honoring Schoenborn, not publicly humiliating him, for his calls for greater transparency and demands for a crackdown on priests who rape and sodomize children. Schoenborn has also called for an open discussion of priestly celibacy, views that the Vatican said he "clarified" on Monday during an audience with the pope. Schoenborn had accused the former Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, in April of blocking a church investigation into the late Austrian Cardinal Hans Hermann Groer, who was accused by victims in 1995 of abusing boys at a seminary. "With his words, Benedict professes concern for victims. But by his actions, Benedict shows concern for his colleagues," said David Clohessy, executive director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests <http://www.snapnetwork.org/> .

The Catholic Church faces another scandal
June 28, 2010, The Independent (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/faith/made-in-his-own-image... <http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/faith/made-in-his-own-image--the-catholic-church-faces-another-scandal-2012093.html> 

It emerged in April that Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, a Colombian who for 10 years was in charge of the Vatican department that supervises the clergy, wrote in 2001 with gushing approval to the Bishop of Bayeux, who went to jail rather than give French authorities information about a priest who had raped a minor. "I congratulate you for not turning in a priest to the civil administration," he wrote. "I am delighted to have a colleague ... who ... has preferred prison to turning in his son-priest." The Vatican confirmed the authenticity of the letter, which had been posted on a French website. But then Castrillon Hoyos himself added a crucial detail. In a radio interview he said the letter was the outcome of a high-level meeting of cardinals at which [Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict] had been present. If the Pope wants to purge paedophilia from the church he must confront the compromised figures within the Curia and dismiss them. Pope Benedict XVI would like the Catholic Church to be very different from the one that ballooned out of all proportion under John Paul, purer, more beautiful, more austere. But far from moulding the church in his own image, he now risks having his own heritage fatally compromised.

Top Catholic Priest Accused of Sexually Abusing His Own Sons
June 21, 2010, ABC News
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/top-vatican-priest-accused-sexually-abusing-sons/story?id=10968647

A prominent Catholic priest, praised by Pope John Paul II as "an efficacious guide to youth," Father Marcial Maciel, sexually abused not only young seminarians under his control but also abused his own children, according to a lawsuit filed today in Connecticut by a man who claims to be Maciel's son. The priest's son, Raul Gonzalez, 30, says he thought his father worked for the CIA or an international oil company, until he saw the priest's picture in a 1997 magazine article detailing allegations of sexual abuse. Under Father Maciel, the Legion of Christ became one of the Roman Catholic Church's most prominent, conservative and financially successful orders. Among its many supporters is Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. [The] Vatican ignored reports of sexual abuse by Maciel since the 1950s, until he was forced out of the Legion by Pope Benedict XVI in 2006. Citing his age, the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith declined to put Maciel on trial but he was ordered to a "life of prayer and penitence." [A] lawsuit filed by Maciel's alleged son claims the Vatican and the presiding Pope from the 1950's until 2002 "engaged in a conspiracy to conceal their knowledge of Maciel's serial delicts, including the repeated sexual abuse of children." The lawsuit claims Maciel "gained influence and protection from the Vatican through giving substantial monies to Vatican officials" and providing other benefits and gifts.

Sticking the public with the bill for the bankers? crisis
June 27, 2010, Globe and Mail (One of Toronto's leading newspapers)
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/g8-g20/opinion/sticking-the-public... <http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/g8-g20/opinion/sticking-the-public-with-the-bill-for-the-bankers-crisis/article1620729/> 

My city feels like a crime scene and the criminals are all melting into the night, fleeing the scene. No, I?m not talking about the kids in black who smashed windows and burned cop cars on Saturday. I?m talking about the heads of state who, on Sunday night, smashed social safety nets and burned good jobs in the middle of a recession. Faced with the effects of a crisis created by the world?s wealthiest and most privileged strata, they decided to stick the poorest and most vulnerable people in their countries with the bill. How else can we interpret the G20?s final communiqu?, which includes not even a measly tax on banks or financial transactions, yet instructs governments to slash their deficits in half by 2013. This is a huge and shocking cut, and we should be very clear who will pay the price: students who will see their public educations further deteriorate as their fees go up; pensioners who will lose hard-earned benefits; public-sector workers whose jobs will be eliminated. And the list goes on. These types of cuts have already begun in many G20 countries including Canada, and they are about to get a lot worse. But there is nothing to say that citizens of G20 countries need to take orders from this hand-picked club. Already, workers, pensioners and students have taken to the streets against austerity measures in Italy, Germany, France, Spain and Greece, often marching under the slogan: ?We won?t pay for your crisis.? And they have plenty of suggestions for how to raise revenues to meet their respective budget shortfalls. Many are calling for a financial transaction tax that would slow down hot money and raise new money for social programs.

Each day, another way to define worst-case for oil spill
June 23, 2010, Washington Post
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/06/22/AR2010062205391.html

The base-line measures of the [Gulf of Mexico] crisis have steadily worsened. The estimated flow rate keeps rising. The well is like something deranged, stronger than anyone anticipated. Week by week, the truth of this disaster has drifted toward the stamping ground of the alarmists. The most disturbing of the worst-case scenarios ... is that the Deepwater Horizon well has been so badly damaged that it has spawned multiple leaks from the seafloor, making containment impossible and a long-term solution much more complicated. Much of the worst-case-scenario talk has centered on the flow rate of the well. Rep. Edward J. Markey [said on NBC's "Meet the Press], "I ... have a document that shows that BP actually believes it could go upwards of 100,000 barrels per day. So, again, right from the beginning, BP was either lying or grossly incompetent." Today the official government estimate of the flow, based on multiple techniques that include subsea video and satellite surveys of the oil sick on the surface, is 35,000 to 60,000 barrels a day. In effect, what BP considered the worst-case scenario in early May is in late June the bitter reality -- call it the new normal -- of the gulf blowout.

Oil Spill Outrage
June 7, 2010, CNN
http://www.cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1006/07/ec.01.html

CAMPBELL BROWN: [There is] growing outrage over the millions of gallons of chemical dispersants BP is dumping into the gulf. Some local residents insist the chemicals along with the oil are making them violently ill. Kerry Kennedy from the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights has been touring the coast and talking to folks who complain that they are being exposed to a lot of unknown toxins right now. Kerry, people who have come in contact with the oil and the dispersants are complaining of nausea, headaches, burning eyes. Talk to me a little bit about your experience when you were touring these gulf communities. KERRY KENNEDY: People are getting sick. And the patients, the health care providers cannot properly diagnose what the problems are because BP will not give them the names of the chemicals that are in the dispersants. However, we know that they're the same types of illnesses that people reported in Alaska. Now, the average lifespan of a person who did cleanup on the Exxon Valdez is 51 years old. Almost all those people who did work on the Exxon Valdez are now dead. And BP still here, once again, is big oil not giving the information to the doctors and health care officials. A county nurse was not given permission to go on to the BP property. When she finally did that, the people who work at BP who were coming to see her were only allowed to get band aids and aspirin from her. And they were told that they only could go to the BP doctors if they wanted to get treated.

U.S. banks' role in Mexican drug trade
June 30, 2010, San Francisco Chronicle/Bloomberg News
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/06/29/BU2L1E6LV2.DTL

Wachovia [Bank] ... made a habit of helping move money for Mexican drug smugglers. San Francisco's Wells Fargo & Co., which bought Wachovia in 2008, has admitted in court that its unit failed to monitor and report suspected money laundering by narcotics traffickers - including the cash used to buy four planes that shipped a total of 22 tons of cocaine. The admission ... sheds light on the largely undocumented role of U.S. banks in contributing to the violent drug trade that has convulsed Mexico for the past four years. Wachovia admitted it didn't do enough to spot illicit funds in handling $378.4 billion for Mexican currency exchange houses from 2004 to 2007. That's the largest violation of the Bank Secrecy Act, an anti-money-laundering law, in U.S. history - a sum equal to one-third of Mexico's current gross domestic product. "Wachovia's blatant disregard for our banking laws gave international cocaine cartels a virtual carte blanche to finance their operations," said Jeffrey Sloman, the federal prosecutor who handled the case. "It's the banks laundering money for the cartels that finances the tragedy," said Martin Woods, director of Wachovia's anti-money-laundering unit in London from 2006 to 2009. Woods says he quit the bank in disgust after executives ignored his documentation that drug dealers were funneling money through Wachovia's branch network. "If you don't see the correlation between the money laundering by banks and the 22,000 people killed in Mexico, you're missing the point," he said.

High Court Sides With Ex-Enron CEO Skilling
June 24, 2010, NPR
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128088331 <http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128088331&ft=1&f=1001> &ft=1&f=1001

The U.S Supreme Court has severely restricted the ability of federal prosecutors to bring corruption cases against public officials and corporate executives. The court unanimously imposed stark limits on the so-called honest services law that for decades has been a key tool in prosecuting corruption cases. The court's ruling came in the case of former Enron executive Jeffrey Skilling, convicted of engaging in a scheme to enrich himself by deceiving shareholders about his company's true financial condition. He was convicted of a variety of charges, including depriving the Enron investors of his honest services. The Supreme Court ruled that the definition of honest services in federal law was so broad that, if viewed literally, it would be unconstitutionally vague, providing inadequate notice to citizens about what conduct is legal and what is not. Instead, a six-justice majority led by Ruth Bader Ginsburg declined to invalidate the law outright, but read it narrowly to cover only bribery and kickbacks. Three other justices ? Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy and Clarence Thomas ? would have, for all practical purposes, invalided the statute in its entirety.

http://us.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/06/30/bee.decline.mobile.phones/index.html

A new study has suggested that cell phone radiation may be contributing to declines in bee populations in some areas of the world. Bee populations dropped 17 percent in the UK last year, according to the British Bee Association, and nearly 30 percent in the United States says the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Parasitic mites called varroa, agricultural pesticides and the effects of climate change have all been implicated in what has been dubbed "colony collapse disorder" (CCD). But researchers in India believe cell phones could also be to blame for some of the losses. In a study at Panjab University in Chandigarh, northern India, researchers fitted cell phones to a hive and powered them up for two fifteen-minute periods each day. After three months, they found the bees stopped producing honey, egg production by the queen bee halved, and the size of the hive dramatically reduced. It's not just the honey that will be lost if populations plummet further. Bees are estimated to pollinate 90 commercial crops worldwide. Their economic value in the UK is estimated to be $290 million per year and around $12 billion in the U.S..

Genetically Altered Salmon Get Closer to the Table
June 26, 2010, New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/26/business/26salmon.html

The Food and Drug Administration is seriously considering whether to approve the first genetically engineered animal that people would eat ? salmon that can grow at twice the normal rate. The salmon?s approval would help open a path for companies and academic scientists developing other genetically engineered animals. The salmon was developed by a company called AquaBounty Technologies and would be raised in fish farms. It is an Atlantic salmon that contains a growth hormone gene from a Chinook salmon as well as a genetic on-switch from the ocean pout, a distant relative of the salmon. Under a policy announced in 2008, the F.D.A. is regulating genetically engineered animals as if they were veterinary drugs and using the rules for those drugs. And applications for approval of new drugs must be kept confidential by the agency. Critics say the drug evaluation process does not allow full assessment of the possible environmental impacts of genetically altered animals and also blocks public input. ?There is no opportunity for anyone from the outside to see the data or criticize it,? said Margaret Mellon, director of the food and [agriculture] program at the Union of <http://www.ucsusa.org/food_and_agriculture/>  Concerned Scientists. When consumer groups were invited to discuss biotechnology policy with top F.D.A. officials last month, Ms. Mellon said she warned the officials that approval of the salmon would generate ?a firestorm of negative response.?

FDA is sued for failing to regulate bisphenol A
June 30, 2010, San Francisco Chronicle (San Francisco's leading newspaper)
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/06/30/BABQ1E6TF8.DTL

A top environmental group has sued the U.S. Food and Drug Administration over its failure to regulate bisphenol A, a ubiquitous chemical linked to reproductive harm, cancer and obesity in studies. The Natural Resources Defense Council <http://www.nrdc.org/>  filed a lawsuit [on June 29] in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit arguing that millions of Americans have been unnecessarily exposed to the substance - found in everything from soda bottles and tuna cans to children's sippy cups - in the two years since it first petitioned the agency to outlaw bisphenol A. Under the FDA's own rules, it was required to approve, deny or otherwise respond to the October 2008 petition within 180 days, the lawsuit said. After maintaining for decades that bisphenol A was safe, the FDA reversed position in January, saying exposure to the chemical was of "some concern" for infants and children. The FDA also said it would further study bisphenol A over the next two years. "More research is always welcome and interesting, but at some point you have to say, 'We know enough,' and take action. We've reached that point," said Sarah Janssen, senior scientist at the NRDC's Environment and Public Health program in San Francisco.

UK firm Octel bribed Iraqis to keep buying toxic fuel additive
June 30, 2010, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/jun/30/octel-petrol-iraq-lead

The former chief executive of a British chemical company faces the prospect of extradition to the US after the firm admitted million-dollar bribes to officials to sell toxic fuel additives to Iraq. Paul Jennings, until last year chief executive of the Octel chemical works ... and his predecessor, Dennis Kerrison, exported tonnes of tetra ethyl lead (TEL), to Iraq. TEL is banned from cars in western countries because of links with brain damage to children. Iraq is believed to be the only country that still adds lead to petrol. The company recently admitted that, in a deliberate policy to maximise profits, executives from Octel ? which since changed its name to Innospec ? bribed officials in Iraq and Indonesia with millions of dollars to carry on using TEL, despite its health hazards. Senior Iraqi oil ministry officials are accused of taking British bribes throughout the UK-US occupation, up until 2008. US prosecutors say multi-million dollar bribes to Iraq were agreed in 2001-3, when Kerrison was chief executive. A decade ago, Octel decided to remain the world's only manufacturer of TEL for cars, after it was banned in the US and Europe. They used high profits from non-western countries to diversify into other products and to pay back investors, mainly US hedge funds run by Connecticut billionaire Jeffrey Gendell. According to prosecutors, the strategy included the corrupt blocking of health campaigns.

Mafia plot to smear Kennedys using Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe
June 14, 2010, The Telegraph (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/7827593/Mafia-plot... <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/7827593/Mafia-plot-to-smear-Kennedys-using-Frank-Sinatra-and-Marilyn-Monroe.html> 

Mafia bosses planned to "compromise" Bobby and Edward Kennedy at a New York party in a plot involving Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe, according to FBI documents. The intention was to work through "associates" of the two stars to lure the Kennedys, as well as Peter Lawford, their British actor brother-in-law and fellow member of Sinatra's "rat pack", into actions they would regret. The plot is thought to have fizzled out, but it is consistent with other accounts of the extraordinary links between [the Kennedys], the country's biggest stars and organised crime. Monroe, who died in 1962, allegedly had affairs with both Bobby Kennedy and John F Kennedy. It has previously been claimed that she passed on pillow talk from Bobby Kennedy to Sinatra who in turn passed them on to his mafia friends. As attorney general Robert Kennedy launched several investigations into the mob which it may have felt warranted a measure of retribution. From early on in his four-decade career in the senate, Edward Kennedy, the youngest of the three brothers, was known for his affairs with women and extravagant drinking habits. Papers released earlier this year the library of former president Richard Nixon showed that in the early 1970s he discussed with the aides the possibility of discrediting Kennedy by leaking news of his infidelities. Agents in Milwaukee took the information from an unidentified source "who had furnished reliable information in the past," according to the memo. However, the informant could not verify the truth of any of the rumor's details.

Blind To Failure
June 18, 2001, Time magazine (Cover story)
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1000120.html

Scaling Everest requires the enthusiasm and boosterism of a physical-education teacher combined with the survival instinct of a Green Beret. You have to want that summit. Erik Weihenmayer, 33, wasn't just another yuppie trekker. Blind since he was 13 ... he began attacking mountains in his early 20s. For Erik ... excelling as an athlete was the result of accepting his disability rather than denying it."Climbing with Erik isn't that different from climbing with a sighted mountaineer. You wear a bell on your pack, and he follows the sound ... using his custom-made climbing poles to feel his way along the trail. His climbing partners shout out helpful descriptions: "Death fall 2 ft. to your right!" Almost 90% of Everest climbers fail to reach the summit. Many--at least 165 since 1953--never come home at all. When Erik and the team began the final ascent from Camp 4 ... they had been on the mountain for two months ... getting used to the altitude and socking away enough equipment [before they made the final, successful] summit push. "He was the heart and soul of our team," says Eric Alexander. "The guy's spirit won't let you quit."

Why governments are selling Vitamin D short
October 23, 2009, Financial Times
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/11180df8-beaa-11de-b4ab-00144feab49a.html

Reinhold Vieth, [a] professor at the University of Toronto?s Department of Laboratory Medicine and Patho-biology, ... is among the most knowledgeable people in the world on the subject of vitamin D. In the US and Canada, official vitamin D policy is set by the Institute of Medicine. And in the opinion of Vieth, the current recommendations ? 200 International Units per day for people under 50, 400 for people aged 51-70, and 600 for those 71 and older ? are outrageously low. Vieth and other vitamin D advocates have good reason to think there will be minimal changes made to dietary guidelines. Last December, the World Health Organisation?s International Agency for Research on Cancer issued a 465-page report that concluded there was no need to raise vitamin D recommendations. ?The evidence favouring vitamin D is probably as good as the evidence that shows smoking is bad for you,? Vieth says, explaining that just as smoking is correlated with certain cancers, so are low vitamin D levels. ?But when these government officials see the same kind of evidence that deals with vitamin D as they see with smoking they go, ?Oh wait a minute. We can?t really trust this.?? Vieth pauses, as though he can barely stand to talk about such a miserable state of affairs. ?It?s easy to say ?don?t do something ? don?t smoke?. It?s very hard to say ?take this. Take vitamin D.??

Hi Mary Rose,

I've just posted " 'Graduating' From Graduating From College: The Ivory
Tower Crumbles" at: http://209.169.7.10/content/view/1700/1/
The article focuses on shifting one's focus from a four-year degree
education to learning skills marketable in the Long Emergency. 

Excerpt: 

I see everywhere eruptions of Long Emergency education, but it is rarely
found in corporatized institutions dependent on state funding and debt-dream
dazed student consumers who subserviently think, live, and breathe inside
the parameters dictated by industrial civilization. I am humbled and awed by
the increasing numbers of college-age women and men I meet who are
"graduating" from graduating from four years of college and a lifetime of
unemployment and debt. The ivory tower is crumbling, but increasing numbers
of innovative youth are constructing a new paradigm and new ways of
utilizing their gifts. In the process they are redefining education and
employment and revolutionizing our increasingly obsolete notions of what it
means to become a "productive" citizen and an educated human being.

I hope you will want to post. Thank you.

Carolyn

Carolyn, thank you for sharing.  mr  What really brought home to me how
desperate things are getting was the line about 2010 students graduating
while 2009 graduates are waiting tables. I keep reading these advertisements
saying: "Can't find a job, go back to school." And it makes me realize more
than ever how needed are the Community Learning/Wellness and Information
Centers Future Dawning is proposing along with what TransitionUS is doing.
Our whole future hinges on how well we do our job of creating sustainable
living communities where everyone in the community is cared for - there are
no "left behinds."  But this can only happen if we are raising our own food
and doing so in such a way that our very degraded life support system is
restored at the same time.  And skills acquired during the Industrial
Revolution certainly don't address this.  But thank goodness the Ivory
Towers are crumbling.

Message-ID: <009901cb1d56$484e38f0$d8eaaad0$@net>

Hi Everyone -

 

Paying more attention to one's personal health again, I just took the "What
Is Your Real Age" test and found that I am 6.7 years younger than my
chronological age.  

 

Here is a website where you can check in yourself, take the test and find
out where you stand.  

 

Then once you get the results, you can access a personal plan to help you
further reduce your real age.  

 

At a time like this when economic and environmental concerns are placing us
under even further stress doing things that keep you feeling good are more
important than ever if this is possible.  My heart goes out to those who are
living on the streets and do not have the opportunity to get out from under
the stress at all.  Let us also keep these people in mind and do whatever we
can to aid them.     

 

So, check this out and then follow up.  

 

The life you save may be your own. 

 

With love and in appreciation of who we all are and all we do together. 

 

I've been trying to do more and more inexpensive things that create a
relaxing spa like environment for myself here in my cabin in the wilderness.
One of those things is listening to healing music while I'm working or
relaxing.  I also take a couple walks each day and in addition, work in my
yard.  And, as well, choose the most nutritious foods I can find to eat.

 

Eating healthy includes as many organically-grown foods as I can find
locally.  While I have in the past grown a lot of  my own food,
circumstances beyond my control prohibited my doing so this year.  However,
I am glad to say that I have been able to partake of good organic food by
purchasing from the local Produce Stand of which Barbara, a new member of
the Co-learner's list, is part owner with her son Jeff.    

 

I also feed the birds and have created an inviting place for them to visit.
Several years ago I also was able to start a collection of roses in pots.
They were especially lovely this year and I have been able to keep cut roses
inside along with a collection of green plants, including orchids, scattered
throughout in strategic places.

Dear Mary,

Wow, people really want to see this movie! The response to the DVD offer we
told you about last week was so overwhelming that the film's distributor is
extending the deadline.

You now have two more days to
<http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=ZRBFgFcXR7MWuL6eJFPovQ..> make a
donation to HRC and get your own copy of this remarkable film.

Everyone I've talked to who's seen it has left changed. And since these DVDs
are being donated,
<http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=GjjSZN4uh3sHI0nVrmhnmw..> 100
percent of your gift goes to the fight for equality.

I can't thank you enough for supporting HRC. Below is an email with more
details.

Dear Mary,


A shocking new film. A call to action.

 <http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=fzt1q6r8eLZ7wianWgsc7A..> 

 <http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=Zn1DFl5iACnFc89RW3aX-A..> Get a
DVD of 8: The Mormon Proposition when you donate this week.

Once in a while, you walk out of a movie theater knowing you'll never be the
same.

You've probably heard about the Mormon Church's involvement in California's
2008 marriage ban. But I think you'll still be shocked watching the new
documentary 
8: The Mormon Proposition.

The film uses former church members and leaked documents to make a case for
exactly how the Mormon Church evaded the law and orchestrated Prop. 8. It's
a movie you absolutely must see.

And this week ONLY - to bring more resources to the fight for equality -
<http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=AztHIBX4yhZMEVCYIgqmQw..> the
film's distributors are offering a DVD of the film as a thank-you gift for
any donation to HRC of $75 or more.

No matter how much you give today, you'll receive a membership to HRC,
including one year of our magazine Equality, and 100 percent of your gift
will go to supporting HRC's work to promote equal rights across the country.
Any amount will help, but I hope you don't miss this chance to see the film.

The film notes that while just two percent of Californians are Mormon, 71
percent of the money behind Prop. 8 came from Mormons. What happened? This
clip shows how church leaders told members how much to donate, based on
their income records - and threatened them if they didn't give:


 <http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=XweyLZ725pPazMvCf8KxAg..> 


In the film, secret documents from a Mormon whistleblower show how the
Mormon Church helped create a front group before Prop. 8 (the National
Organization for Marriage) and stayed out of the spotlight in California.
They show how the Church concealed its involvement in Prop. 8 so egregiously
that last month it was still drawing fines for campaign finance violations.
<http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=MVTn4oUbs7dPslnNPOcNgg..> Get your
copy now >

Those documents also detail an anti-marriage campaign in Hawaii a decade
earlier - a blueprint for Prop. 8. There, Church leaders funneled money to a
coalition that masked their activities. They hid their faces, opened their
wallets, and honed their strategy. 

Every single day the Human Rights Campaign is out there with people like
you, going up against NOM, the Mormon Church, and other groups with vast
resources and hateful agendas. But we're also building up - making millions
of people's lives better, from hospitals to workplaces, from schools to
houses of worship. It's what we do. 

And it's on behalf of those millions of people, and their simple desire to
be treated equally, that we have a message for the Mormon Church: your lies,
your half-truths and your bigotry will be exposed.

 <http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=cL94eEmjfZS5Mi6zGRPyew..> Help us
drive that message home by making a donation for equality - and own a film
you'll never forget.

Thanks for supporting this fight.

Sincerely,

work on this film, had this to say: "Although the Mormon Church may be small
in numbers where you live, their influence is being felt in very big ways
all over this country. I believe every LGBT American should see this film to
better understand the war we are in and at least one of our main enemies."

Dear Mary,

Wow, people really want to see this movie! The response to the DVD offer we
told you about last week was so overwhelming that the film's distributor is
extending the deadline.

You now have two more days to
<http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=ZRBFgFcXR7MWuL6eJFPovQ..> make a
donation to HRC and get your own copy of this remarkable film.

Everyone I've talked to who's seen it has left changed. And since these DVDs
are being donated,
<http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=GjjSZN4uh3sHI0nVrmhnmw..> 100
percent of your gift goes to the fight for equality.

I can't thank you enough for supporting HRC. Below is an email with more
details.

- Joe

Dear Mary,


A shocking new film. A call to action.

 <http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=fzt1q6r8eLZ7wianWgsc7A..> 

 <http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=Zn1DFl5iACnFc89RW3aX-A..> Get a
DVD of 8: The Mormon Proposition when you donate this week.

Once in a while, you walk out of a movie theater knowing you'll never be the
same.

You've probably heard about the Mormon Church's involvement in California's
2008 marriage ban. But I think you'll still be shocked watching the new
documentary 
8: The Mormon Proposition.

The film uses former church members and leaked documents to make a case for
exactly how the Mormon Church evaded the law and orchestrated Prop. 8. It's
a movie you absolutely must see.

And this week ONLY - to bring more resources to the fight for equality -
<http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=AztHIBX4yhZMEVCYIgqmQw..> the
film's distributors are offering a DVD of the film as a thank-you gift for
any donation to HRC of $75 or more.

No matter how much you give today, you'll receive a membership to HRC,
including one year of our magazineEquality, and 100 percent of your gift
will go to supporting HRC's work to promote equal rights across the country.
Any amount will help, but I hope you don't miss this chance to see the film.

The film notes that while just two percent of Californians are Mormon, 71
percent of the money behind Prop. 8 came from Mormons. What happened? This
clip shows how church leaders told members how much to donate, based on
their income records - and threatened them if they didn't give:


 <http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=XweyLZ725pPazMvCf8KxAg..> 


In the film, secret documents from a Mormon whistleblower show how the
Mormon Church helped create a front group before Prop. 8 (the National
Organization for Marriage) and stayed out of the spotlight in California.
They show how the Church concealed its involvement in Prop. 8 so egregiously
that last month it was still drawing fines for campaign finance violations.
<http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=MVTn4oUbs7dPslnNPOcNgg..> Get your
copy now >

Those documents also detail an anti-marriage campaign in Hawaii a decade
earlier - a blueprint for Prop. 8. There, Church leaders funneled money to a
coalition that masked their activities. They hid their faces, opened their
wallets, and honed their strategy.

Every single day the Human Rights Campaign is out there with people like
you, going up against NOM, the Mormon Church, and other groups with vast
resources and hateful agendas.But we're also building up - making millions
of people's lives better, from hospitals to workplaces, from schools to
houses of worship. It's what we do.

And it's on behalf of those millions of people, and their simple desire to
be treated equally, that we have a message for the Mormon Church: your lies,
your half-truths and your bigotry will be exposed.

 <http://www.hrcactioncenter.org/site/R?i=cL94eEmjfZS5Mi6zGRPyew..> Help us
drive that message home by making a donation for equality - and own a film
you'll never forget.

Thanks for supporting this fight.

Sincerely,

 Joe Solmonese

P.S. Bruce Bastian, an HRC board member who was raised Mormon and helped
work on this film, had this to say: "Although the Mormon Church may be small
in numbers where you live, their influence is being felt in very big ways
all over this country. I believe every LGBT American should see this film to
better understand the war we are in and at least one of our main enemies."

The incredibly revealing video documentary Sweet Misery has saved many lives. It takes us on a journey across the U.S. interviewing highly respected doctors, neurosurgeons, federal health officials, and concerned individuals who lay out clearly the high risks and dangers of ingesting excitotoxins like aspartame (contained in sugar substitutes NutraSweet, Equal) and MSG. These professionals describe in detail a major cover-up by elements of government and industry to keep these serious risks out of the public eye. 

If you care about your health and the health of your family and friends, Sweet Misery is a must-watch video which can empower you to make a difference on this vital topic. Even if you have only a few minutes, don't miss at least watching the first part of this empowering video which will show you the hidden dangers of aspartame and MSG. A 10-minute Fox News clip listed below further drives the point home. And the "What You Can Do" box underneath these links gives great ideas on how to further educate yourself and spread the word. You can help to save lives with this critical information.

As a therapist in Los Angeles, I've seen more than my share of patients who
are dealing with various forms of depression and unhappiness. One common
personality trait I've found with them is their unwholesome thoughts and
beliefs that come from what I call the "wanting mind." In wanting mind, we
feel that our current state of unhappiness can only be cured if we have more
money, recognition, fame or power. Often we cause ourselves needless
suffering when we ache for something that lies out of our grasp such as a
better job, relationship or recognition, or cling in vain to something that
has already passed away. Wanting mind can also keep us tenaciously holding
on to something negative: an unwholesome belief about how things ought to be
or should have been, or an unwholesome emotion such as anger, sadness or
jealousy.

Thanks to Trading Post Paul for this one.  

Has it ever occurred to you that in erecting the artificial "built"
environment that we have literally destroyed the natural environment -- the
environment that serves as our life support system? And maybe instead of
doing so much "spiritual" work we ought to be paying a little more attention
to feeding the body/mind field -- meaning both the brain and the heart along
with all of our other organs so they are functioning at their very best?

Where Agriculture Meets Empire
Land Institute president Wes Jackson explores the intersection of science
and society, agronomy and ecology, culture and politics.
By  Robert Jensen July 1, 2003  |  


Wes Jackson and his colleagues at the Land Institute are working on a
10,000 year-old problem -- agriculture. Not simply problems in agriculture,
but the problem of agriculture.

That fundamental problem is that no one has come up with a sustainable
system for perpetuating agricultural productivity. High yields mask what
Jackson has called "the failure of success": Production remains high while
the health of the soil continues to decline dramatically -- primarily
because of erosion and chemical contamination of land and water. That kind
of success guarantees the inevitable collapse of the system.

Agriculture isn't the only system we live with that is unsustainable --
empire and capitalism also come to mind quickly. How are these systems
connected to each other? How long can such systems continue before they
give way to something new? Can they be replaced before they take the planet
down with them? Who and what will suffer in the meantime? And, what can
movements do to change all this? Jackson has some provocative ideas about
-- though he'd be the first to admit, no definitive answers to -- these
questions.

Twenty-seven years ago, Jackson -- then a professor of environmental
studies at California State University-Sacramento with degrees in botany
and genetics -- co-founded the Land Institute to pursue a long-term
solution to the problem of agriculture, delving into both the scientific
and cultural aspects. The goal, articulated in the Land Institute's mission
statement, is agriculture that will allow people, communities, and the land
to prosper in sustainable fashion.

The research into what they call "natural systems agriculture" (NSA)
investigates ways that monoculture annual grains (such as corn and wheat)
can be replaced by polyculture (grown in combinations) perennial grains.
NSA attempts to mimic nature instead of subduing it. Jackson points out
that when left alone, a natural ecosystem such as a prairie recycles
materials, sponsors its own fertility, runs on contemporary sunlight, and
increases biodiversity. The question NSA poses is whether agriculture can
be designed to increase ecological wealth in such fashion rather than
degrade it.

Jackson, who currently serves as the president of the Land Institute, is
the author of several books, including "New Roots for Agriculture," "Altars
of Unhewn Stone" and "Becoming Native to This Place." In his writing and
frequent lectures, Jackson explores the intersection of science and
society, agronomy and ecology, culture and politics. His talks are a lively
mix of styles -- country preacher, old-time storyteller, hard-nosed
scientist, and political organizer. Jackson is blunt about the problems of
the culture and agriculture but hopeful about the possibilities of change,
and his folksy style allows him to launch fairly radical ideas in ways that
don't seem threatening. I began my interview with him by asking him to
expand on several slogans he had tossed out at Prairie Festival, the annual
celebration of the Land Institute, in 2001.

Robert Jensen: At the 25th anniversary celebration you offered three
aphorisms that seem to turn conventional political wisdom on its head --
"If we walk our talk, we won't get there," "We need to spend more time
preaching to the choir," and "We've got to quit meeting people where they
are." Explain what you meant.

Wes Jackson: "If we walk our talk, we won't get there" is the easy one.
Look, I ride jet planes. I drive. My household is tied into the grid. We're
all dependent on the extractive economy. If we were to "walk the talk" --
if we were to really live within the limits of a renewal life-support
system with no subsidies from coal or portable liquid fuels or the poison
of nuclear power -- we would have trouble making our voices heard in the
culture.

Another way to put it is that there's no life outside the system. So, I
think we should ask two questions about endeavors that involve us in the
extractive economy. One is, "How can I use this nonrenewable resource in a
strategic way?" Two, "Is it so much fun that you can't say no to it?" That
second one is just a way of not taking ourselves too seriously.

What about the people who say that it's important to create alternatives
that are, to the degree possible, outside the system? Should people
sacrifice involvement in a political movement to create a model of
something else?

We do need those good examples, and people have to work in the area of
their passion. When I look at people I start with the question, "Have they
joined the fight?" If they have, then you have to be careful in critique,
because we don't know enough about what's going to be most effective in the
long run. If someone wants to be the good example, then fine. But I think
they should be doing it out of intrinsic interest, not out of sense of
nobility.

What about, "We need to spend more time preaching to the choir"?

That's meant to suggest we need to deepen the discussion. The modern
environmental movement really began in 1962 with Rachel Carson's "Silent
Spring." Before that, environmentalism was mostly about wilderness
advocacy, with some focus on soil erosion and water conservation. With
those roots in saving wilderness, this new environmental movement lacked
the intellectual basis necessary to understand the kinds of problems we
face as a consequence of consumerism. Today we have to fight the idea that
nature is to be subdued or ignored. In that older view, wilderness was seen
as the sacred, and we could afford to allow other parts of the world that
served human needs and desires to be profane. Now we realize the planet is
seamless and that wilderness is really an artifact of civilization. So, we
haven't had a long enough time to deepen the discussion, and that deepening
is best done with members of the choir, rather than with people who are
just catching on that the planet is in trouble.

What about the argument that we have to broaden the movement so that we
have the political power to make the changes that are so crucial?

Yes, but by making a movement's ideas too readily accessible, you can make
them meaningless. Ultimately, you have to have depth to your argument or
people will find themselves being self-satisfied by hauling their cans to
be recycled in their SUV. To even be talking about recycling when the
parking lots are full is kind of absurd.

There's a lot of work for the choir to do, too. For example, we have to
learn to be better numbersmiths, to understand science and statistics. I'm
going to be 67 this month, and in my lifetime people have burned 97.5
percent of all the oil that has ever been burned. That's an important
statistic. We have to face the fact that we are not going to find a
technological substitute for the high-density energy that comes out of a
gas or oil well. It is thermodynamically implausible. We have not attended
to these numbers and realities. So, we have people running around rather
glibly saying that, "We have alternatives. We just need to get solar and
wind and thermal insulation and this, that and the other."

What do you say to those who contend that there are energy alternatives
that will allow Americans to continue to consume at the current level?

I say that's nuts. That's where the discussion needs to deepen. Take the
example of a photovoltaic array and look at the energy that the array will
produce in its lifetime and the energy it takes to make it. It's a ratio
that ranges from 4:1 to 8:1. Or a wind machine, which is about the same.
Thermal insulation is pretty good, close to 100:1. But all that still isn't
enough. It's assumed, because scarcity is always said to be the mother of
invention, that when things get scarce we will find the alternative. Well,
I'm saying there simply is no alternative to the density of high-energy
carbon coming out of an oil well.

Do you think there is a need to preach to the choir in other movements,
such as the antiwar or anti-corporate globalization movements?

I think so. It's clear that war and racism, poverty, sexism, the growing
gap between the rich and the poor, are all connected. And when we hit a
brick wall, it turns out that brick wall is capitalism. We're going to have
to face that. But people want to believe it is possible to design around
capitalism, through regulation and progressive legislation. But that won't
work, and we need some consciousness-raising on that.

What about the argument that the reactionary right and the Bush
administration are so dangerous, such a threat to the planet, that all our
efforts should be directed to defeating Bush in 2004?

I think that's pretty na?ve. The Bush folks are going to go to the fat
cats who made out so well on the tax cuts and say, "OK boys, give us 10
percent." And they'll get it, and that will put billons in their coffers,
and they'll use that to buy media and control the discussion. It's
whistling in the dark to presume those guys don't have a plan to keep this
thing alive.

What if the Democrats had a realistic chance to beat Bush? Would that
change anything for you?

Given the behavior of the Democrats, who have tried to become more like the
Republicans, what evidence do we have that they would have a spirited
about-face? I'm pretty sure they would be better in some ways, that fewer
of our civil liberties would be violated. But the Democrats are not trying
to change our dependence on an extractive economy. What did Clinton do for
us?

The Democrats turn the dial a little to the left, and the Republicans turn
it to the right, but they're both on the wrong channel. I don't see any
fine-tuning that is going to make a big difference.

What about the third slogan, "We've got to quit meeting people where they
are"?

If you meet people where they are, you're going to meet them in Wal-Mart,
where things are cheap and things don't last. We keep trying to meet people
on the grounds of economics: Are they going to be able to keep their 401Ks
intact? Are they going to have more money so they can eat out more often
and buy more breakables? In that framework, the ecology message is reduced
to hoping that the EPA does a better job of enforcing the Clean Water Act
and the Clear Air Act. But the planet could still go down the tubes with
clean water and clean water, and with wind generators in place. We've not
talked about a society that, at the rate it's going, is going to require
four planets to keep up with consumption.

Here's where we have to be thinking deeply. Agriculture had its beginning
10,000 years ago. What were the ecosystems like 10,000 years ago, after the
retreat of the ice? Those ecosystems featured material recycling and they
ran on contemporary sunlight. Humans have yet to build societies like that.
Is it possible that embedded in nature's economy are suggestions for a
human economy in which conservation is a consequence of production? Let's
open that up. The day after 9/11, I wrote a piece suggesting that what
George Bush should say is, "My fellow Americans, from this day forward we
will evaluate our progress by how independent of the extractive economy we
have become." I think that kind of speech would resonate with a lot of
people. But if it resonates, then they have to roll up their sleeves and
say, "What does that mean for me, for us?" That would not be meeting people
where they are. George Bush is meeting people where they are.

One possible conclusion from all this is that, given where the culture and
most people are, a mass movement around sustainability isn't possible
today. Is that your view?

Let me be more positive. A mass intellectual engagement on these issues is
possible and is necessary. I don't know if is possible right now. My hope
is that when the resource base declines and we are caught -- and it will
appear to be unawares -- there will have been going on in smaller circles
an adequate deepening of the conversation that has the potential to spread
among the larger population.

Any thoughts on how to go forward with that?

One thing to avoid is getting too overloaded with abstractions, without any
of the particulars. This struggle that we're involved in is not going to be
won with the bumper sticker. It's going to be won across the ecological
mosaic of the country; it's going to be the particularities. I'm worried
about our willingness to so readily embrace the abstractions without the
particularities.

Here's an example, which will sound like whining, but it's not. Here at the
Land Institute people are out there breeding crops, doing the experiments,
evaluating germ plasm, because we think that in the 25 to 50 year time
frame it's possible to build an agriculture based on the way natural
ecosystems work. Those are particularities. Now, some of the people in the
environmental movement, some who are my friends, think that they are change
agents and are out there networking, going off to another conference. I
don't object to people doing those kinds of things -- I do some of that
myself -- but what I do object to is the marginalization of an organization
like ours because we say it will take 25 to 50 years before we have
something to offer the farmer. My question for almost any group is, "What
does this translate into in a material way?"

Even though we are marginal, one reason that we are still alive as a viable
organization is not only that we have an alternative paradigm, in the
Kuhnian sense, but there is pollen being transferred on behalf of that
paradigm. In other words, I think values dictate genotype. I think we're
here because our project resonates at a deep level with the Friends of the
Land and the foundation world.

What effect on public policy have you had?

We've been to Washington, and we've hit the brick walls. So, we're avoiding
the brick walls. Instead, we are supporting 19 graduate students from
around the country. They will go back to their universities, and we hope
the institute's intellectual "virus" will infect these major universities
and eventually overcome their institutional "immune systems." It's change
from the bottom up. In that sense, we're looking at public policy for the
long term. We are trying to develop the compelling alternative for the
future.

What is your assessment of the anti-corporate globalization movement,
especially the tactic of street protests?

We need to confront, but we also need these particularities. The good thing
about this movement is the realization that we're all caught within a kind
of structural immorality. But, the bad thing is that we tend to stop with
that, as if there's nothing I can do except protest about it, and hope that
the overall structure changes so that my behavior will be more
environmentally benign. Street protests -- in combination with other
tactics -- have worked in the past, in other movements. But I think that
the environmental movement is, in many ways, more complicated than the
anti-Vietnam war or civil rights movement. We have to deal with the aspect
of human nature that wants stuff, wants comfort and security. For some time
I think we were na?ve and thought these problems could be solved easily.

This is one area where I think we need to sit back and do some more
thinking. What has worked? Take a look at CSAs, community-supported
agriculture. I'm all for those, but they don't really speak to the vast
majority of 350 million acres of farmland, most of which is eroding and
being chemically contaminated. CSA farms are donuts around the cities. I
don't object to doing that, but we shouldn't presume that's a movement.

We need to be saying, "Listen folks, capitalism is inherently destructive."
How do we get from where we are to where we need to be, keeping in mind
that we can't just try to tame that son of a bitch. We have got to get rid
of capitalism.

What are the most effective vehicles for that, if it's not just protests in
the streets, not faith in the Democrats?

That isn't easy. We need to be drawing attention to the brick wall of
capitalism every time we hit it, acknowledging that we don't just need to
find a way over it but how to knock it down. But what about while we are
blocked by the brick wall? Well, it is worthwhile when we are making a
pollination or designing our experiments that we design it for some future
farmer, rather than for something that can be readily adopted today by a
corporate bookkeeper. In our breeding work here we could try to come up
with perennial monocultures, and that would make the seed companies happy.
Our work on perennial polycultures doesn't knock the wall of capitalism
down, but at least while you are behind the wall you can imagine life on
the other side of the wall. That may sound like a poor and hollow
substitute for something that will get at knocking down the wall. But at
least we can plan for the other side.

Do you have any thoughts on what an alternative to capitalism would look
like?

Just to get discussion going, I've been putting forward the hypothesis that
since the Stone Age there has not been a single technological product or
process, including the domestication of crops and livestock, that hasn't
come at the cost of drawing down the capital stock of the planet. I call
that the "utterly dismal hypothesis." I'm advancing it not because it's
necessarily right, but to suggest that life forms have got it as good as it
gets. Whether you are talking about the cell, the tissue, the organ, the
organ system or the organism, up that hierarchy to the ecosystem and the
ecosphere -- at all levels in that hierarchy of structure, life has had to
work it out, given the constraints of the second law of thermodynamics. To
presume that we can have a technological array that beats that is somewhat
arrogant. Life would have done that long ago. Why should we constantly be
looking for technological solutions? I don't think we have spent enough
time looking at the rules of nature's economy, which are systems that have
featured material recycling and run on contemporary sunlight. That's the
kind of alternative economics I'm interested in. And I think that if we
don't get sustainability in agriculture first, it's not going to happen. We
have some disciplines standing behind and, potentially, helping agriculture
-- ecology, evolutionary biology. So that is where it seems to me where the
discussion has to start.

Greetings, 
?
Last year E3 Network launched Real Climate Economics ? an online guide to the economics literature that supports immediate and aggressive measures to mitigate the risks of climate change. Its launch was widely applauded as an effective counter-weight to claims that economics does not support climate stabilization efforts. 
?
This week E3 Network has launched the Real Climate Economics blog to provide timely commentary by economists on the challenges and opportunities wrought by climate change. We?ll feature regular contributions by E3 climate taskforce economists, including Frank Ackerman , Eban Goodstein, James Boyce, Elizabeth Stanton, James Barrett , Stephen DeCanio and others. 
?
We invite you to join our economists in this important dialogue and encourage you to add the Real Climate Economics blog to your websites and blog rolls.
?
If you have any questions about the real climate economics blog, please feel free to contact me at the address below.

A Conversation with Anna Lapp? on Climate Change, Industrial Agriculture,
and Conversion to a Climate Friendly Food System (video)

http://cookingupastory.com/a-conversation-with-anna-lappe-on-climate-change-

industrial-agriculture-and-conversion-to-a-climate-friendly-food-system-vide
o

 

   The first thing one notices about Anna Lapp?, author of the new book,
Diet for a Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork and What
You Can Do about It, she knows how to focus abstract, interrelated concepts,
such as industrial agriculture, and food system, into concrete terms as they
relate to climate change concerns.

   Not only will agriculture be effected by rapid changes in weather
conditions brought on by climate change, the food system itself (the entire
process by which food reaches the end of our fork) is the largest single
emitter of atmospheric greenhouse gases that drive climate change effects.

Culling through the scientific literature, Lapp? reports that about 31% of
all carbon dioxide emissions are directly or indirectly related to the
agriculture sector. Two very potent atmospheric gases, nitrous oxide and
methane, are released in agriculture production, and are almost 300 times,
and 25 times more active in the atmosphere, respectively (ton for ton), than
carbon dioxide.

   In the opening introduction to her book, Bill McKibben writes:

    ?Climate change is the biggest thing human beings have ever done;
nothing else even comes close. We?ve already managed to substantially melt
the Arctic, to force epic drought, to thaw the high-altitude glaciers that
water Asia and South America, all with a single degree of temperature rise?.

As things heat up at election time, one of the things standing out in big
red letters is the Republican Agenda that rounds up ever more money from the
corporate sector which favors creating an ever more wealthy class. A
maneuver designed to widen the gap further between the "haves" and the "have
nots." 

This is a campaign where it becomes more obvious every day that the result
desired by the corporate-oriented Republicans is one designed to preserve
the Great American Lifestyle that George W. Bush said was "non-negotiable."
A lifestyle designed for a few while the many are starved, made jobless and
forced out of their homes so that these few may continue to live the life of
luxury and at the expense of the environment as well as people.   

All while climate change rapidly closes in on all of us. 

What is it that you intend to do about this? Are you going to just sit back
and let it happen? 

Thanks again to Trading Post Paul.

$200 Million GOP Campaign Avalanche Planned, Democrats Stunned

   Over the past few weeks, top Democratic Party strategists have been
passed a chart by a concerned, well-respected operative underscoring the
daunting task they face in the 2010 elections.
   On the left hand side of the chart is a list of ten Republican aligned
institutions, ranging from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to the Family
Research Council. Next to it is a column listing the amount of money each
group has pledged to spend by Election Day. A third column on the right
details what those groups actually spent in 2008 on federal elections.
   The number at the bottom delivers the key message. If their pledges are
fulfilled, these ten groups will unleash more than $200 million in
election-focused spending -- roughly $37 million more than every single
independent group spent on the 2008 presidential campaign combined. This
time around, almost every single penny will be going to Republican
candidates or causes.

has expressed a desire to preserve the cuts for the middle class while
letting tax rates for the wealthy reset to where they were during the
Clinton administration. Conservative lawmakers and pundits have been
fearmongering that allowing the tax cuts for the wealthy to expire will
kill job creation and small businesses (despite the fact that fewer than 2
percent of small business owners will be affected). Last night on CNBC,
Wall Street Journal editorial board member Stephen Moore went so far as to
say that he can?t ?see the sense? of allowing cuts for the rich to
expire, and then advocated that taxes be raised on the poorest Americans in
order to finance more tax cuts for the rich:
    "I just don?t see the sense of this. In fact, if I could have my
?druthers, I?d raise the ten percent tax rate to fifteen percent and
lower the [top] rates."
   Watch it:
   Adopting such a plan would only exacerbate income inequality that is
already the worst it has been since the 1920?s. According to the latest
data, ?the gaps in after-tax income between the richest 1 percent of
Americans and the middle and poorest fifths of the country more than
tripled between 1979 and 2007.? The top 1 percent of families now receive
nearly 25 percent of the country?s income, after earning less than 10
percent in the 1970s. This year the Bush tax cuts will give millionaires
more in tax breaks than 90 percent of Americans will make in total income.


Weighing Safety Of Weed Killer In Drinking Water, EPA Relies Heavily On
Industry-Backed Studies

   Companies with a financial interest in a weed-killer sometimes found in
drinking water paid for thousands of studies federal regulators are using
to assess the herbicide's health risks, records  of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency show. Many of these industry-funded studies, which
largely support atrazine's safety, have never been published or subjected
to an independent scientific peer review.
   Meanwhile, some independent studies documenting potentially harmful
effects on animals and humans are not included in the body of research the
EPA deems relevant to its safety review, the Huffington Post Investigative
Fund has found. These studies include many that have been published in
respected scientific journals. Even so, the EPA says that it would be "very
difficult for someone to put a thumb on the scale" to slant the outcome.
   Atrazine is one of the most widely used herbicides in the U.S. An
estimated 76 million pounds of the chemical are sprayed on corn and other
fields in the U.S. each year, sometimes ending up in rivers, streams, and
drinking water supplies. It has been the focus of intense scientific debate
over its potential to cause cancer, birth defects, and hormonal and
reproductive problems. As the Huffington Post Investigative Fund reported
in a series of articles last fall, the EPA failed to warn the public that
the weed-killer had been found at levels above federal safety limits in
drinking water in at least four states. Some water utilities are suing
Syngenta to have it pay their costs of filtering the chemical.


When You Visit Israel (Formerly Palestine) ...
A Presidential Tour Guide to Israel
http://www.counterpunch.org/bloom07082010.html
By ROBERT BLOOM  July 8, 2010
    ?The reports about the demise of the special relationship aren?t
just premature, they?re just flat wrong,? the [Israeli] prime minister
said. He publicly invited Mr. Obama to visit Israel, and the president
said, ?I?m ready.?
    From the NY Times, July 6, 2010
Dear Mr. Obama,
When you travel to Israel (formerly known as Palestine), be sure to visit
some of the great tourist sites in Israel (formerly Palestine):
    *The countless checkpoints, where Palestinians are humiliated and
mistreated every hour of every day (and don't forget to ask to see the
several locations where Palestinian women have lost their children and/or
died in childbirth at these places because the Israelis wouldn't process
them through);
    *The handsome and loving wall that keeps families apart and prevents
Palestinians from getting to work. As an added benefit, this could be the
model for the ever-expanding wall that many americans would like to see at
the Mexican border;
    *The illegal settlements --- illegal under international law, and in
clear violation of those sacred U.N. sanctions that american presidents
always cite when it comes to Iran, Cuba, etc, but ignore when the
resolutions relate to Israel;
    *The secret facilities where the Israelis have created nuclear weapons
(and where they are stored this very day). Just ask. They'll show you. I
think one of the sites is in a town called Vanunu. Don't miss it;
    *The interrogation centers where Palestinians are tortured every day,
all day, all night. In fact, the Israelis taught the americans quite a bit
about these endeavors, and there's still lots to learn from Israel;
    * The wonderful prisons to which the Israelis send Palestinians,
including children who, gasp, threw rocks at soldiers;
    *The place where the Israelis murdered Rachel Corrie (and don't fail to
speak to the colonels and other Israeli officials who whitewashed the
murder);
    *The storage area for the (illegal) white phosphorus weaponry the
Israeli's used on civilians in their unspeakable genocide (known in some
circles as a holocaust(tm) on Gaza:
    *The site where the Isrealis entered into a chillingly evil deal with
the chillingly corrupt government of Egypt to enforce the disgraceful
blockade of food and medical supplies and building materials on 1.5 million
human beings in Gaza;
    *The site of the decision to escalate the assault on Palestinians by
desecrating Temple Mount;
    *Be sure to go to one of the trials that are conducted in military
tribunals, where Palestinians are NEVER acquitted, NEVER. (You can learn
how to conduct trials in the secret courts at Bagram, in the secret prison
[torture center] at Bagram, (the new and improved Guantanimo).
   I may have omitted some of the special sites you should see in Israel
when you visit. Be sure to consult some Palestinian victims of Israeli
Apartheid before you go --- just in case I missed something.


Angle Calls BP?s $20 Billion Account To Pay Oil Spill Claims ?A Slush
Fund?
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/07/08/angle-bp-slush-fund/
   Many conservatives have been criticizing the Obama administration for
what they regard as a harsh treatment of BP in the wake of its Gulf oil
spill. Kentucky GOP Senate candidate Rand Paul called the White House
pressure on BP ?un-American.? Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) apologized to BP
(and later apologized and then unapologized for the apology) for what he
called a White House ?shakedown? of the oil giant after BP agreed to
create a $20 billion escrow account to compensate claims resulting from the
spill.
   Greg Sargent reports that yesterday on a local Nevada radio show, the
state?s GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle joined in, calling the BP
escrow account a ?slush-fund?:
    CALLER I wanted to know what she thought of the $20 billion slush fund
and whether or not government should be able to do that to a private
company.
    ANGLE: Well, the short answer is no, government shouldn?t be doing
that to a private company. And, I think you named it clearly, it?s a
slush fund. 
 But everyone in the petroleum industry shouldn?t be
penalized for one bad person?s actions. It would be like throwing us all
in prison because one person committed murder. And that?s exactly
what?s going on here is it?s an overreaction by government for not the
right reasons. 
   Angle contends that the White House is following ?Saul Alinky?s rule
for radicals. They are using this crisis now to get in cap-and-trade and
every fine and penalty and slush fund.? Listen here:
   As Sargent noted, Angle?s comments are particularly egregious ?since
such funds imply corruption and are often illegal.? Of course, the escrow
is not a ?slush fund? considering there is no bribery involved, and
BP?s money is allotted for a specific purpose: helping victims of the
disastrous oil spill which resulted from BP?s negligence. Moreover, BP
agreed to set it up and in comments after BP made the deal to set up the
account, CEO Tony Hayward took full responsibility and called the escrow
account ?the right thing?:
    ?From the outset we have said that we fully accepted our obligations
as a responsible party. This agreement reaffirms our commitment to do the
right thing. The President made it clear and we agree that our top priority
is to contain the spill, clean up the oil and mitigate the damage to the
Gulf coast community. We will not rest until the job is done.? 


Majority Of Judges Hearing Drilling Moratorium Appeal Attended Oil-Funded
Junkets ?
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/07/08/junkets-for-judges/
   Last month, Judge Martin Feldman, a federal trial judge in Louisiana,
handed down a poorly-reasoned opinion lifting the Obama Administration?s
temportary moratorium on new oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Judge
Feldman?s most recent financial disclosure form indicates that he is
heavily invested in oil companies.
   Today in New Orleans, a three-judge panel of the US Court of Appeals for
the Fifth Circuit will consider whether to stay Feldman?s decision.
According to a new report by the Alliance for Justice, however, it is
unlikely that these Fifth Circuit judges will approach the case without the
perception of bias. Judges Jerry Smith and Eugene Davis, both of whom are
assigned to today?s panel, attended expense-paid ?junkets for judges?
sponsored by an oil-industry front group:
    [Judge Smith] attended a seminar hosted by the Foundation for Research
on Economics & the Environment (FREE) in Big Sky, Montana, for which he was
reimbursed transportation, lodging, and meal expenses. FREE is a think-tank
that promotes free-market environmentalism rather than environmental
regulation and is funded largely by corporations like ExxonMobil and
conservative foundations. FREE hosts industry-funded seminars for judges,
often including leisure activities such as golf and horseback riding, to
?explain why ecological values are not the only important ones.? The
year that Judge Smith attended the seminar, FREE received $70,000 from
ExxonMobil, of which $20,000 was for ?Federal Judicial Seminars,?
$30,000 was for ?General Operating Support,? and $20,000 was for a
?Climate Seminar.? . . .
    Additionally, in 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008, Judge Davis attended the
same seminar as Judge Smith run by the FREE Foundation, the free market
environmentalism group described above, and sought corresponding
reimbursement for transportation, food, and housing. Judge Davis has
attended another of other judicial seminars, and in fact, was ranked tenth
in the country on a list of judges who accept free trips.
   Both men also worked as oil-industry litigators before their
appointments to the federal bench, and Judge Davis owns as much as $30,000
in oil investments. The third judge on the panel, Judge James Dennis, has
not received any free trips from the oil industry, but he is heavily
invested in oil stocks with investments that may total as much as $305,000.
   Should this oil-soaked panel nonetheless decide to reinstate the
drilling moratorium, the industry may appeal that decision to the full
Fifth Circuit. Of the sixteen active judges eligible to hear such an
appeal, ten of them have oil investments, including the court?s Chief
Judge.  In addition to owning as much as $330,000 in oil investments, Chief
Judge Edith Jones ranked fourth of a list of judges who have attended
junkets.
   A full list of the Fifth Circuit?s judges and the extent of their
financial holdings in oil companies is copied below: More ?


Joblessness, housing add risks to U.S. recovery: IMF
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6672TB20100708
Credit: Reuters/Mario Anzuoni
By David Lawder WASHINGTON | Thu Jul 8, 2010 1:34pm EDT
   WASHINGTON (Reuters) - High unemployment and a moribund housing market
have increased risks to the U.S. economic recovery, while the public debt
looms large and needs to be cut, the International Monetary Fund said on
Thursday. In a statement after annual consultations with U.S. authorities,
the IMF raised its U.S. growth forecasts slightly to 3.3 percent for 2010
and 2.9 percent for 2011, but said unemployment would remain above 9
percent for both years.
   The lofty jobless rate, coupled with a large backlog of home
foreclosures and high levels of negative home equity, posed risks of a
"double dip" in the housing market, it said. But the IMF said it did not
think a renewed recession was likely. "The outlook has improved in tandem
with recovery, but remaining household and financial balance sheet
weaknesses -- along with elevated unemployment -- are likely to continue to
restrain private spending," the Fund said.
   The IMF also said commercial real estate continued to deteriorate,
posing risks for smaller banks. Further tipping the balance of risks to the
downside, it said Europe's sovereign debt crisis could worsen financial
market conditions and hurt trade.
   David Robinson, the IMF's Western Hemisphere deputy director, conceded
in a news briefing that recent data had come in on the weak side since the
report was completed on June 21. If the weakness continued, the Fund may
have to revise its forecasts downward, he said. In a separate report on the
world economy, the IMF raised its 2010 global growth forecast to 4.6
percent from the 4.2 percent it had projected in April.


Boehner Invites Lobbyists To Help Form GOP Agenda In Intimate Meeting At
His Office
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/07/08/boehner-lobbyists-meeting/
   A few months ago, House Republicans launched an effort called Americans
Speaking Out, which purports to give average Americans the ability to offer
their input on what Congress should do. It became quickly apparent that the
enterprise was little more than a taxpayer-funded PR gimmick to help
Republicans market their agenda for this fall?s elections, even as they
ignored any ideas they didn?t already support.
   Now, under the banner of Americans Speaking Out, House Minority Leader
John Boehner (R-OH) has summoned advice from those who he truly seems
interested in listening to: lobbyists. Roll Call reports that Boehner has
invited ?senior Republican lobbyists and top officials from several large
trade groups? to a meeting at Boehner?s office to discuss ?their
suggestions for a new GOP agenda?:
    The meeting is part of the House leaders? initiative called America
Speaking Out, which is intended to draw broad input to create a new policy
agenda for the party to launch in the fall.
     An e-mail invitation sent to more than 20 trade representatives and
obtained by Roll Call summoned guests to Boehner?s second-floor office on
July 16 ?to discuss House Republican efforts to produce a new policy
agenda with a small group of trade association leaders.?
    Invitees included Dan Danner, head of the National Federation of
Independent Business; Bruce Josten, top lobbyist at the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce; Jay Timmons of the National Association of Manufacturers; and Joe
Stanton of the National Association of Home Builders.
   A spokesperson for Americans Speaking Out defended the meeting, saying
it was important to meet with large employers. But this is hardly the first
time Boehner and his colleagues have run to lobbyists for help coming up
with ideas.
   As the Wonk Room?s Pat Garofalo has documented, congressional
Republicans have ?organized a pow-wow with lobbyists in order to devise a
strategy? for nearly every piece of major legislation over the past year,
from health care reform, to Wall Street reform, to climate change, to a
jobs bill. 


A Conversation with Anna Lapp? on Climate Change, Industrial Agriculture,
and Conversion to a Climate Friendly Food System (video)

industrial-agriculture-and-conversion-to-a-climate-friendly-food-system-vide
o
   The first thing one notices about Anna Lapp?, author of the new book,
Diet for a Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork and What
You Can Do about It, she knows how to focus abstract, interrelated
concepts, such as industrial agriculture, and food system, into concrete
terms as they relate to climate change concerns.
   Not only will agriculture be effected by rapid changes in weather
conditions brought on by climate change, the food system itself (the entire
process by which food reaches the end of our fork) is the largest single
emitter of atmospheric greenhouse gases that drive climate change effects.
Culling through the scientific literature, Lapp? reports that about 31%
of all carbon dioxide emissions are directly or indirectly related to the
agriculture sector. Two very potent atmospheric gases, nitrous oxide and
methane, are released in agriculture production, and are almost 300 times,
and 25 times more active in the atmosphere, respectively (ton for ton),
than carbon dioxide.
   In the opening introduction to her book, Bill McKibben writes:
    ?Climate change is the biggest thing human beings have ever done;
nothing else even comes close. We?ve already managed to substantially
melt the Arctic, to force epic drought, to thaw the high-altitude glaciers
that water Asia and South America, all with a single degree of temperature
rise?.

	Reports on coping with anguish
Message-ID: <003e01cb1f5a$d7b2fb60$8718f220$@net>

Thanks again to Trading Post Paul. 

As we struggle to handle our emotions as COLLAPSE happens, how do we handle
hopelessness and anguish. 

For me personally, it means getting off of my ass and doing what needs to be
done with the house that is falling down as we learn that we can't take the
building blocks out from underneath it and erect a second story. Like any
other this is, or should be, a learning experience. And, the only thing to
do is pick up the blocks and begin over again. And, in the process INHO we
need to let go of things that aren't working, e.g., government, monetary
system, religious beliefs, present modes of transportation, educational
system, etc., and design new systems that are life-enhancing and work for
us, not against us. We simply cannot continue to develop a built environment
that sacrifices the natural environment that provides for our life support
system. 

And, most of all, IMHO, we need to recognize that empire-building is not the
way to go. The motto for Future Dawning is:  Living simply so that others
may simply live. Let's get off of our ego trips and just DO IT.  

By the way, I attended a women's club meeting today in which after the
majority had left, a few of us were able to agree that the world's problems
are centered right here in the U.S. and we need to focus on turning this
mega disaster around right here. It is not about going to Haiti and helping
out there, or fighting a war in Afghanistan, or? It is about doing what
needs to be done right here at home, right now.  

And, folks unless we all agree that this is the end of the world, it isn't.
We need to change the way we think.

Struggling to be 'fully alive': Reports on coping with anguish
by Robert Jensen Published Jul 8 2010 
http://www.energybulletin.net/node/53374

    "I don't have anything to say that hasn't been said many times over the
centuries."

That may have been the most insightful response to my essay asking people
to report on how they cope with the anguish of living in a world in
collapse.

That simple statement is a reminder that (1) the social and ecological
crises we face have been building for a long time and (2) the best of our
traditions have, for a long time, offered wisdom useful in facing those
crises. The unjust social systems and unsustainable ecological practices of
contemporary society started with the agricultural revolution 10,000 years
ago, when humans began dominating each other and the planet in evermore
destructive fashion, and intensified dramatically over the 250 years of the
industrial revolution. (For a historical perspective, see "The delusional
revolution.")

And for nearly that long, some people have resisted the power of elites and
tried to protect the land. (For a contemporary example, see "Where
agriculture meets empire.")

So, we struggle in the moment with complex problems that defy simple
solutions -- problems that may be beyond our capacity to solve in any
meaningful way. But describing the basics needed for a better world is not
difficult if we draw on that wisdom. Here's my condensed version:

We need to transcend systems rooted in human arrogance and greed that lead
us to believe that any individual is more valuable than another, that any
group of people should dominate another group, or that people have a right
to exploit the living world without regard for the consequences for the
ecosystem. Because each of us has within us the capacity for constructive
and destructive actions -- for good and evil -- our collective task is to
shape a society that helps us act with caution and compassion.

This radical message of humility and solidarity comes from a deep
conception of respect: Respect for oneself, for other people, for other
living things, and for the earth as a living system. That message animates
the best of our philosophy, theology, poetry, and politics, and it was at
the heart of nearly all the 300 responses to my essay. This notion of
respect wasn't defined as "being nice" or "not being judgmental." Respect
takes work -- to understand the other, make judgments, and engage
constructively when there are disagreements or conflicting needs.

Along with those calls for love, there was a lot of anger in the responses,
much of it directed at elites -- the politicians, business executives, and
media propagandists who so often not only promote arrogant and greedy
behavior over humility and solidarity, but also rationalize and prop up the
political/economic/social systems in which the destructive behavior is
fostered.

And many wrote that the while the anger we may feel toward elites is
justified, we have to start with self-critique and examine our own place in
these systems. For example, the anger toward BP officials over the "hole in
the world" at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico co-exists with the
recognition that we all live somewhere in the system that demands that oil:

    "I speak of the oil spill going on and I acknowledge how implicated I
am in it. My lifestyle -- despite efforts to eat wild foods, look at waste
streams as resources, and live frugally -- depends heavily on oil. It's
like there are these [oil] stains on my hands, all over my hands, my body
and the ground around me."

In such a world, it is easy for those of us who live in affluent societies
to be drained by an awareness of all this:

    "My personal ambition seems to decrease in proportion to the increase
in world suffering. I think that's part of my emotional reaction to crisis.
I don't think I am fully alive. I'm not depressed, just weirdly
diminished."

Why would someone feel diminished today? For almost all of the people who
responded, the heart of their struggle was in the realization that the
human species, locked into industrial societies dependent on
high-energy/high-technology systems to produce food and fuel, is on a path
leading to the edge of a cliff. No one offered predictions for an end time,
but:

    "[W]hat I see as the reality of our situation -- ecologically,
politically, economically, and culturally -- is that we are in the last
days of our species, and I just don't know what to do with that. The
emotions are much too powerful, the grief, the sense of doom -- how does
one deal with the real possibility of the extinction of not just millions
of species, but of one's own species?"

Feeling isolated but resolved to act

Where does that reality leave us emotionally? My essay inquired
specifically about the feelings that accompany the intellectual
understanding that we live in a world in collapse. That question led not
only to descriptions of those emotions, but strategies for dealing with
them. No single comment could sum up so many different people's responses,
but this one comes close:

    "So I feel hopeless. I feel sad. I feel amused at the absurdity of it
all. I feel depressed. I feel enraged. I feel guilty and I feel trapped.
Basically the only reason why I'm still alive is because there are enough
amazing people and things in my life to keep me going, to keep me fighting
for what matters. I'm not even sure how to fight yet, but I know that I
want to."

One common response was gratitude for having a place to communicate these
thoughts without worrying about being ridiculed. Many wrote about how
isolated they felt, even from friends and family who don't want to talk
about these matters and either deny there are reasons to be concerned or
ignore the evidence:

    "I'm a drug addict with over 20 years clean, and I know all about using
up my future and farting out lame excuses. I promised myself an honest life
to stay clean, and the double-edged sword is that I started seeing just how
much our culture swims in denial."

Pressing these importance questions about systemic failure and collapse
leads to resistance from others, who then assert that the real problem is
anyone who wants to talk about collapse:

    "I have been writing for a year and a half on a lot of things as it
pertains to humanity's lack of awareness and the potential to reconnect
before we destroy the earth and each other. People get angry at me for it
and call me 'dark' and 'negative' and 'sinful' telling me to instead move
to the 'light,' 'positive' and 'love.' Whatever."

Some see a general "desensitization to the destruction of our planet [that]
is nothing short of heart breaking" and worry about what the loss of the
capacity for empathy means:

    "It is considered feminine and naive to care about trees or animals.
... In addition, it is also considered weak and feminine to empathize or
display a proper emotion. We are becoming a nihilistic culture which is
creating citizens who are numb to their emotions. This is doing us all a
disservice. We are missing out on our bodily wisdom and becoming less and
less in tune with our earth."

Though people have different views on the role of high-technology responses
to ecological collapse, everyone who wrote recognized that more gadgets
aren't going to save us:

    "I have thought for a long time that the human species, notwithstanding
its endless self-flattery, really is not very intelligent. One of the signs
of its stupidity is, in fact, the very way that it equates intelligence
with technological prowess."

One of the most compelling comments on advanced technology came from a
doctoral student in engineering at a prestigious university:

    "I have come to this firm conclusion that any more technological
development is purely unnecessary and technological progress is
hyper-glorified by the developed countries just as a tool to continue their
agenda of robbing the resources of our planet from the third world (and
perhaps soon from neighboring astronomical bodies, too). And what is
glorified as the rational, intellectual research that folks like me are
doing over here is just a means towards facilitating this robbing activity;
this implicit imperialism; this invisible killing of our planet earth."

People also recognize the inadequacy of technological solutions to the end
of cheap, plentiful energy. While endorsing more research on alternatives
to coal, oil, and natural gas, those who wrote to me were wary of claims
that alternatives can magically replace the concentrated energy of fossil
fuels and allow us to motor on in our affluence:

    "[T]he only way that the terrible catastrophes on the way could have
been softened would have been for everyone on the planet to have dropped
business as usual 10 or 20 years ago, and to have started retooling all of
society while there was still a reasonable surplus of high EROEI (energy
return on energy investment) fossil fuel left to power the *energetically*
costly conversion process of re-engineering energy production, housing,
cities, suburbs, farming, fishing, and transport. That didn't happen. And
having lived through the period, it would have been completely impossible
to motivate in the first or third world. But just as important, it is *even
more* unlikely that this will begin to happen now. This is because growing
energy scarcity will cut into our flexibility as people scramble to prop up
floundering systems."

In addition to these critiques of life in the affluent world, many wrote of
the grotesque disparities in wealth in the world today. As we struggle with
fears of the future, billions of people cope with severe limitations in the
present:

    "[W]e in the U.S. are essentially living behind a military barricade. I
heard a quote recently that 'collapse means having the same lifestyle as
the people who grow your coffee.' I really, really liked that."

And in many of the critiques of the affluent First World, there was an
understanding that the heart of the problem is the United States:

    "Americans today are living with a profound and apparently
irreconcilable disparity between what we say we are, and what we actually
are. Between the promise of democracy and the reality of a crumbling
empire. The result of this schism, I believe, is the national equivalent of
a disassociated personality. And it's not just our shared history of
betrayal and abuse that has caused it. It's the myth of freedom as well. In
the mythology of freedom, democracy was supposed to empower us all to make
a change for the better."

Although some wrote with certainty about their conclusions, more people
expressed confusion and weariness over the effort needed to understand such
a complex world:

    "I spend a lot of time in my own head going back and forth over
theories, philosophies, etc. Pretty much going through a process once a
month of discarding everything I thought I knew and re-learning it. While
this may be a good thing in the future, it does not feel good now.
Sometimes it makes me feel like I am alone and lost and that I can't find
any truth in anything because I have so many different voices telling me
what is right and wrong. Yet, I can never stop going back and looking at
what's happening to this real, physical, lovely and loving planet and feel
outrage, sorrow, and confusion and why this culture is so insane."

Even with all this talk of their own struggles, the people who wrote were
not asking others to feel sorry for them. Instead, the focus was outward,
on how this affects others. That was clear in the comments not only of
parents and grandparents, but also of people who chose not to have children
-- what is the fate of future generations?

    "Being the parent of a young child right now is a mixed blessing: He's
my reason for waking up every morning and doing whatever it takes to keep
up some semblance of normalcy, but it also frightens and worries me deeply
when I think about his future."

In the face of challenges that feel overwhelming -- in the face of problems
that may have no solutions -- what should we do? Very few of the people who
wrote suggested we should give up; most are committed to action:

    "I guess the best thing we can do ... point out problems, suggest
solutions, work for radical system changes and not just reforms that too
often are more cosmetic than substantial, and above all: keep the faith ...
and we need to project to others that we have the faith, or get the hell
out of the work and retire or just wait for Armageddon."

Many responses focused on the need not only to act collectively but also to
reduce our consumption individually:

    "I read a statement in the book Hard Times by Studs Terkel that I
really liked: 'Security is knowing what I can do without.' Every day, I
find something new that I can do without. My fiance and I now grow much of
the food we eat, we purchase necessities only, we shop at the Goodwill."

and learn skills that have atrophied all too quickly in an affluent,
high-energy culture:

    "I'm not an old hippie that wants to return to sex, drugs and rock and
roll on the commune. ... I believe in hierarchy, rules and skills, but we
must start something new, difficult and dangerous. We must also learn to
not trust power and create small, subsistence communities. Instead of
trying to mend the empire we should be teaching ourselves skills of our
rural grandparents."

Tipping points and panic

But still the question haunts us: What if the unsustainable systems in
which we live are beyond the point of no return? There certainly are
rational reasons to assume that we are past a tipping point.

For example, the March 2005 report of the United Nations' Millennium
Ecosystem Assessment, based on the work of 1,300 researchers from 95
countries who spent four years examining 24 ecosystems worldwide, offered
this "stark warning":

    "Human activity is putting such strain on the natural functions of
Earth that the ability of the planet's ecosystems to sustain future
generations can no longer be taken for granted. ... Nearly two thirds of
the services provided by nature to humankind are found to be in decline
worldwide. In effect, the benefits reaped from our engineering of the
planet have been achieved by running down natural capital assets."

This kind of knowledge can be so overwhelming that people feel it's not
safe to open up emotionally:

    "I would like to mourn but have not been able to let my guard down. I
could understand 9/11, but now I am witnessing the destruction of the
planet and I don't understand the magnitude of what that means. I feel on
edge. I feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop."

How to live in that world and remain fully engaged, intellectually and
emotionally? This comment sums up the task and a path:

    "Recently several of our visionary thinkers have moved from the
illusion that 'we have 10 years to turn this around.' They now say clearly
that 'we cannot stop this momentum.' It takes courage and faith to speak so
plainly. What can we do in the face of this truth? We can sit face to face
and find the ways, often beyond words, to explore the reality that we are
all refugees, swimming into a future that looks so different from the
present. We can find pockets of community where we can whisper our deepest
fears about the world. We can remain committed to describing the present
with exceptional truth. We can cultivate a practice that enables us to
witness suffering with hearts and minds open and with our faces turned
toward one another."

It would be easy to close on that note, blunt but positive. But for many,
that kind of approach is difficult. I sent my essay to a political activist
who is one of the most well-informed people I know in matters concerning
politics and ecology. His response:

    "I guess my emotional reaction is actually to suppress the emotional
reaction. ... [P]anic, which would probably be the emotional reaction, is
something to be deferred until the situation is relatively safe. So I try
to think about what is to be done and can be done, and promise myself that
if we do get past these crises, I will enjoy the moment to panic about how
dangerous a situation we were in."

My response:

    "I understand what you say, but it seems to me that an appreciation of
the nature of the crises is necessary for sensible strategy, and I don't
know how to engage that intellectually without having emotional reactions.
... My fear is that if we don't discuss it, those of us struggling with
these emotions will fade away from collective action. So, instead of this
kind of discussion necessarily leading to political paralysis, I think it
can prevent paralysis in some people."

My friend didn't contest my analysis:

    "I don't advocate for my emotional response, but it is what it is."

Though he didn't argue with me, I didn't feel as if I had won an argument.
Emotions are what they are, and we don't "win" by telling people what they
should feel. It's enough of a struggle to understand what I feel and why I
feel it; I don't think I'm qualified to dictate to others what they should
feel. In dealing with multiple crises on all fronts -- economic, political,
cultural, and ecological failures that pose a significant threat to human
life as we understand it -- it's folly for any one of us to imagine we
figured out the right approach, or that there is a single right approach,
or that there is any right approach at all.

The only thing I'm sure of is that, to quote singer/songwriter John Gorka,
"the old future's gone." The future of endless bounty for all, which some
once imagined would be the product of the application of human reason to
problems of the world, is not the future we face. How can we open a
conversation about what's coming when so much is unknown and so many
resist? Rather than pontificate, I will end with the reflections of an
elder:

    "I'm about to celebrate my 70th birthday. I live in a rural intentional
community, close to land that feeds us and supports us. I've lived long
enough now to be very aware of how different the world has become, how the
cycles of nature are off kilter, how the seasons and the climate have
shifted. My garden tells me that food doesn't grow in quite the same
patterns, and we either get weeks of rain or weeks of heat and drought.
This is the second year in a row that our apple trees do not have apples on
them. But most people get their food in grocery stores where the apples
still appear, and food still arrives, in season and out, from all over the
world. This will soon end, and people won't understand why. They don't see
the trouble in the land as I and my friends do. I grieve daily as I look on
this altered world. My grandchildren are young adults who think their lives
will continue as they have been. Who will tell them? They can't hear me.
They, and many others, will have to see the changes for themselves, as I
have. I can't imagine that anything else will convince them. My grief for
the world, and for them, is compounded by this feeling of helplessness
because there is no way we can have the collective action you speak of when
the 'collective' is still in denial. Thank you for listening."

Subject: [GJM] An Absolutely MUST READ - Struggling to be 'fully alive':
	Reports on coping with anguish
Message-ID: <001d01cb1f87$935a3640$ba0ea2c0$@net>

Thanks again to Trading Post Paul. 

As we struggle to handle our emotions as COLLAPSE happens, how do we handle
hopelessness and anguish. 

For me personally, it means getting off of my ass and doing what needs to be
done with the house that is falling down as we learn that we can't take the
building blocks out from underneath it and erect a second story. Like any
other this is, or should be, a learning experience. And, the only thing to
do is pick up the blocks and begin over again. And, in the process INHO we
need to let go of things that aren't working, e.g., government, monetary
system, religious beliefs, present modes of transportation, educational
system, etc., and design new systems that are life-enhancing and work for
us, not against us. We simply cannot continue to develop a built environment
that sacrifices the natural environment that provides for our life support
system. 

And, most of all, IMHO, we need to recognize that empire-building is not the
way to go. The motto for Future Dawning is:  Living simply so that others
may simply live. Let's get off of our ego trips and just DO IT.  

By the way, I attended a women's club meeting today in which after the
majority had left, a few of us were able to agree that the world's problems
are centered right here in the U.S. and we need to focus on turning this
mega disaster around right here. It is not about going to Haiti and helping
out there, or fighting a war in Afghanistan, or? It is about doing what
needs to be done right here at home, right now.  

And, folks unless we all agree that this is the end of the world, it isn't.
We need to change the way we think.

Struggling to be 'fully alive': Reports on coping with anguish
by Robert Jensen Published Jul 8 2010 
http://www.energybulletin.net/node/53374

    "I don't have anything to say that hasn't been said many times over the
centuries."

That may have been the most insightful response to my essay asking people
to report on how they cope with the anguish of living in a world in
collapse.

That simple statement is a reminder that (1) the social and ecological
crises we face have been building for a long time and (2) the best of our
traditions have, for a long time, offered wisdom useful in facing those
crises. The unjust social systems and unsustainable ecological practices of
contemporary society started with the agricultural revolution 10,000 years
ago, when humans began dominating each other and the planet in evermore
destructive fashion, and intensified dramatically over the 250 years of the
industrial revolution. (For a historical perspective, see "The delusional
revolution.")

And for nearly that long, some people have resisted the power of elites and
tried to protect the land. (For a contemporary example, see "Where
agriculture meets empire.")

So, we struggle in the moment with complex problems that defy simple
solutions -- problems that may be beyond our capacity to solve in any
meaningful way. But describing the basics needed for a better world is not
difficult if we draw on that wisdom. Here's my condensed version:

We need to transcend systems rooted in human arrogance and greed that lead
us to believe that any individual is more valuable than another, that any
group of people should dominate another group, or that people have a right
to exploit the living world without regard for the consequences for the
ecosystem. Because each of us has within us the capacity for constructive
and destructive actions -- for good and evil -- our collective task is to
shape a society that helps us act with caution and compassion.

This radical message of humility and solidarity comes from a deep
conception of respect: Respect for oneself, for other people, for other
living things, and for the earth as a living system. That message animates
the best of our philosophy, theology, poetry, and politics, and it was at
the heart of nearly all the 300 responses to my essay. This notion of
respect wasn't defined as "being nice" or "not being judgmental." Respect
takes work -- to understand the other, make judgments, and engage
constructively when there are disagreements or conflicting needs.

Along with those calls for love, there was a lot of anger in the responses,
much of it directed at elites -- the politicians, business executives, and
media propagandists who so often not only promote arrogant and greedy
behavior over humility and solidarity, but also rationalize and prop up the
political/economic/social systems in which the destructive behavior is
fostered.

And many wrote that the while the anger we may feel toward elites is
justified, we have to start with self-critique and examine our own place in
these systems. For example, the anger toward BP officials over the "hole in
the world" at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico co-exists with the
recognition that we all live somewhere in the system that demands that oil:

    "I speak of the oil spill going on and I acknowledge how implicated I
am in it. My lifestyle -- despite efforts to eat wild foods, look at waste
streams as resources, and live frugally -- depends heavily on oil. It's
like there are these [oil] stains on my hands, all over my hands, my body
and the ground around me."

In such a world, it is easy for those of us who live in affluent societies
to be drained by an awareness of all this:

    "My personal ambition seems to decrease in proportion to the increase
in world suffering. I think that's part of my emotional reaction to crisis.
I don't think I am fully alive. I'm not depressed, just weirdly
diminished."

Why would someone feel diminished today? For almost all of the people who
responded, the heart of their struggle was in the realization that the
human species, locked into industrial societies dependent on
high-energy/high-technology systems to produce food and fuel, is on a path
leading to the edge of a cliff. No one offered predictions for an end time,
but:

    "[W]hat I see as the reality of our situation -- ecologically,
politically, economically, and culturally -- is that we are in the last
days of our species, and I just don't know what to do with that. The
emotions are much too powerful, the grief, the sense of doom -- how does
one deal with the real possibility of the extinction of not just millions
of species, but of one's own species?"

Feeling isolated but resolved to act

Where does that reality leave us emotionally? My essay inquired
specifically about the feelings that accompany the intellectual
understanding that we live in a world in collapse. That question led not
only to descriptions of those emotions, but strategies for dealing with
them. No single comment could sum up so many different people's responses,
but this one comes close:

    "So I feel hopeless. I feel sad. I feel amused at the absurdity of it
all. I feel depressed. I feel enraged. I feel guilty and I feel trapped.
Basically the only reason why I'm still alive is because there are enough
amazing people and things in my life to keep me going, to keep me fighting
for what matters. I'm not even sure how to fight yet, but I know that I
want to."

One common response was gratitude for having a place to communicate these
thoughts without worrying about being ridiculed. Many wrote about how
isolated they felt, even from friends and family who don't want to talk
about these matters and either deny there are reasons to be concerned or
ignore the evidence:

    "I'm a drug addict with over 20 years clean, and I know all about using
up my future and farting out lame excuses. I promised myself an honest life
to stay clean, and the double-edged sword is that I started seeing just how
much our culture swims in denial."

Pressing these importance questions about systemic failure and collapse
leads to resistance from others, who then assert that the real problem is
anyone who wants to talk about collapse:

    "I have been writing for a year and a half on a lot of things as it
pertains to humanity's lack of awareness and the potential to reconnect
before we destroy the earth and each other. People get angry at me for it
and call me 'dark' and 'negative' and 'sinful' telling me to instead move
to the 'light,' 'positive' and 'love.' Whatever."

Some see a general "desensitization to the destruction of our planet [that]
is nothing short of heart breaking" and worry about what the loss of the
capacity for empathy means:

    "It is considered feminine and naive to care about trees or animals.
... In addition, it is also considered weak and feminine to empathize or
display a proper emotion. We are becoming a nihilistic culture which is
creating citizens who are numb to their emotions. This is doing us all a
disservice. We are missing out on our bodily wisdom and becoming less and
less in tune with our earth."

Though people have different views on the role of high-technology responses
to ecological collapse, everyone who wrote recognized that more gadgets
aren't going to save us:

    "I have thought for a long time that the human species, notwithstanding
its endless self-flattery, really is not very intelligent. One of the signs
of its stupidity is, in fact, the very way that it equates intelligence
with technological prowess."

One of the most compelling comments on advanced technology came from a
doctoral student in engineering at a prestigious university:

    "I have come to this firm conclusion that any more technological
development is purely unnecessary and technological progress is
hyper-glorified by the developed countries just as a tool to continue their
agenda of robbing the resources of our planet from the third world (and
perhaps soon from neighboring astronomical bodies, too). And what is
glorified as the rational, intellectual research that folks like me are
doing over here is just a means towards facilitating this robbing activity;
this implicit imperialism; this invisible killing of our planet earth."

People also recognize the inadequacy of technological solutions to the end
of cheap, plentiful energy. While endorsing more research on alternatives
to coal, oil, and natural gas, those who wrote to me were wary of claims
that alternatives can magically replace the concentrated energy of fossil
fuels and allow us to motor on in our affluence:

    "[T]he only way that the terrible catastrophes on the way could have
been softened would have been for everyone on the planet to have dropped
business as usual 10 or 20 years ago, and to have started retooling all of
society while there was still a reasonable surplus of high EROEI (energy
return on energy investment) fossil fuel left to power the *energetically*
costly conversion process of re-engineering energy production, housing,
cities, suburbs, farming, fishing, and transport. That didn't happen. And
having lived through the period, it would have been completely impossible
to motivate in the first or third world. But just as important, it is *even
more* unlikely that this will begin to happen now. This is because growing
energy scarcity will cut into our flexibility as people scramble to prop up
floundering systems."

In addition to these critiques of life in the affluent world, many wrote of
the grotesque disparities in wealth in the world today. As we struggle with
fears of the future, billions of people cope with severe limitations in the
present:

    "[W]e in the U.S. are essentially living behind a military barricade. I
heard a quote recently that 'collapse means having the same lifestyle as
the people who grow your coffee.' I really, really liked that."

And in many of the critiques of the affluent First World, there was an
understanding that the heart of the problem is the United States:

    "Americans today are living with a profound and apparently
irreconcilable disparity between what we say we are, and what we actually
are. Between the promise of democracy and the reality of a crumbling
empire. The result of this schism, I believe, is the national equivalent of
a disassociated personality. And it's not just our shared history of
betrayal and abuse that has caused it. It's the myth of freedom as well. In
the mythology of freedom, democracy was supposed to empower us all to make
a change for the better."

Although some wrote with certainty about their conclusions, more people
expressed confusion and weariness over the effort needed to understand such
a complex world:

    "I spend a lot of time in my own head going back and forth over
theories, philosophies, etc. Pretty much going through a process once a
month of discarding everything I thought I knew and re-learning it. While
this may be a good thing in the future, it does not feel good now.
Sometimes it makes me feel like I am alone and lost and that I can't find
any truth in anything because I have so many different voices telling me
what is right and wrong. Yet, I can never stop going back and looking at
what's happening to this real, physical, lovely and loving planet and feel
outrage, sorrow, and confusion and why this culture is so insane."

Even with all this talk of their own struggles, the people who wrote were
not asking others to feel sorry for them. Instead, the focus was outward,
on how this affects others. That was clear in the comments not only of
parents and grandparents, but also of people who chose not to have children
-- what is the fate of future generations?

    "Being the parent of a young child right now is a mixed blessing: He's
my reason for waking up every morning and doing whatever it takes to keep
up some semblance of normalcy, but it also frightens and worries me deeply
when I think about his future."

In the face of challenges that feel overwhelming -- in the face of problems
that may have no solutions -- what should we do? Very few of the people who
wrote suggested we should give up; most are committed to action:

    "I guess the best thing we can do ... point out problems, suggest
solutions, work for radical system changes and not just reforms that too
often are more cosmetic than substantial, and above all: keep the faith ...
and we need to project to others that we have the faith, or get the hell
out of the work and retire or just wait for Armageddon."

Many responses focused on the need not only to act collectively but also to
reduce our consumption individually:

    "I read a statement in the book Hard Times by Studs Terkel that I
really liked: 'Security is knowing what I can do without.' Every day, I
find something new that I can do without. My fiance and I now grow much of
the food we eat, we purchase necessities only, we shop at the Goodwill."

and learn skills that have atrophied all too quickly in an affluent,
high-energy culture:

    "I'm not an old hippie that wants to return to sex, drugs and rock and
roll on the commune. ... I believe in hierarchy, rules and skills, but we
must start something new, difficult and dangerous. We must also learn to
not trust power and create small, subsistence communities. Instead of
trying to mend the empire we should be teaching ourselves skills of our
rural grandparents."

Tipping points and panic

But still the question haunts us: What if the unsustainable systems in
which we live are beyond the point of no return? There certainly are
rational reasons to assume that we are past a tipping point.

For example, the March 2005 report of the United Nations' Millennium
Ecosystem Assessment, based on the work of 1,300 researchers from 95
countries who spent four years examining 24 ecosystems worldwide, offered
this "stark warning":

    "Human activity is putting such strain on the natural functions of
Earth that the ability of the planet's ecosystems to sustain future
generations can no longer be taken for granted. ... Nearly two thirds of
the services provided by nature to humankind are found to be in decline
worldwide. In effect, the benefits reaped from our engineering of the
planet have been achieved by running down natural capital assets."

This kind of knowledge can be so overwhelming that people feel it's not
safe to open up emotionally:

    "I would like to mourn but have not been able to let my guard down. I
could understand 9/11, but now I am witnessing the destruction of the
planet and I don't understand the magnitude of what that means. I feel on
edge. I feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop."

How to live in that world and remain fully engaged, intellectually and
emotionally? This comment sums up the task and a path:

    "Recently several of our visionary thinkers have moved from the
illusion that 'we have 10 years to turn this around.' They now say clearly
that 'we cannot stop this momentum.' It takes courage and faith to speak so
plainly. What can we do in the face of this truth? We can sit face to face
and find the ways, often beyond words, to explore the reality that we are
all refugees, swimming into a future that looks so different from the
present. We can find pockets of community where we can whisper our deepest
fears about the world. We can remain committed to describing the present
with exceptional truth. We can cultivate a practice that enables us to
witness suffering with hearts and minds open and with our faces turned
toward one another."

It would be easy to close on that note, blunt but positive. But for many,
that kind of approach is difficult. I sent my essay to a political activist
who is one of the most well-informed people I know in matters concerning
politics and ecology. His response:

    "I guess my emotional reaction is actually to suppress the emotional
reaction. ... [P]anic, which would probably be the emotional reaction, is
something to be deferred until the situation is relatively safe. So I try
to think about what is to be done and can be done, and promise myself that
if we do get past these crises, I will enjoy the moment to panic about how
dangerous a situation we were in."

My response:

    "I understand what you say, but it seems to me that an appreciation of
the nature of the crises is necessary for sensible strategy, and I don't
know how to engage that intellectually without having emotional reactions.
... My fear is that if we don't discuss it, those of us struggling with
these emotions will fade away from collective action. So, instead of this
kind of discussion necessarily leading to political paralysis, I think it
can prevent paralysis in some people."

My friend didn't contest my analysis:

    "I don't advocate for my emotional response, but it is what it is."

Though he didn't argue with me, I didn't feel as if I had won an argument.
Emotions are what they are, and we don't "win" by telling people what they
should feel. It's enough of a struggle to understand what I feel and why I
feel it; I don't think I'm qualified to dictate to others what they should
feel. In dealing with multiple crises on all fronts -- economic, political,
cultural, and ecological failures that pose a significant threat to human
life as we understand it -- it's folly for any one of us to imagine we
figured out the right approach, or that there is a single right approach,
or that there is any right approach at all.

The only thing I'm sure of is that, to quote singer/songwriter John Gorka,
"the old future's gone." The future of endless bounty for all, which some
once imagined would be the product of the application of human reason to
problems of the world, is not the future we face. How can we open a
conversation about what's coming when so much is unknown and so many
resist? Rather than pontificate, I will end with the reflections of an
elder:

    "I'm about to celebrate my 70th birthday. I live in a rural intentional
community, close to land that feeds us and supports us. I've lived long
enough now to be very aware of how different the world has become, how the
cycles of nature are off kilter, how the seasons and the climate have
shifted. My garden tells me that food doesn't grow in quite the same
patterns, and we either get weeks of rain or weeks of heat and drought.
This is the second year in a row that our apple trees do not have apples on
them. But most people get their food in grocery stores where the apples
still appear, and food still arrives, in season and out, from all over the
world. This will soon end, and people won't understand why. They don't see
the trouble in the land as I and my friends do. I grieve daily as I look on
this altered world. My grandchildren are young adults who think their lives
will continue as they have been. Who will tell them? They can't hear me.
They, and many others, will have to see the changes for themselves, as I
have. I can't imagine that anything else will convince them. My grief for
the world, and for them, is compounded by this feeling of helplessness
because there is no way we can have the collective action you speak of when
the 'collective' is still in denial. Thank you for listening."

Dear friends and family,

Here's a video made from a message the Hopi elders made a while ago.  I
think it's a good message for our time.

I like the lines:

"Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary,
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration."

Enjoy.

Bob, thank you for your beautiful contribution here.  With much love and in
gratitude. 

I am adding another video to this:  

For the Next 7 Generations: The Grandmothers Speak

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKGXpK8LXR4
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKGXpK8LXR4&NR=1> &NR=1

 

Over the next couple months, I want to spend more time putting together the
Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS program.  

 

Yesterday, I went to a community Women's Meeting here in my area in a place
called Sacred Rocks.  A very lovely RV park and campgrounds just east of
where I live here in the wilderness.  This group will be suspending their
meetings for the summer and reconvening in the fall.  And I will be
addressing this group at the first meeting in September on the first
Thursday after Labor Day and am looking forward to this event.  

 

This marks a new beginning for me as I have not done any public speaking for
quite some time.  However, I have also been contacted by someone from the
Transformative Media & Entertainment Group on the Architects of a New Dawn
social network hosted by Carlos Santana. And I have been asked to do a
regular radio show due to the amount of knowledge/information I have
accumulated over the past decade or so that some feel is vital to what is
taking place today.  And this person has volunteered to put the show
together.  

 

Because our minds run so much in the same direction and she holds such a
vast amount of knowledge and information as well, I have invited Eileen
Workman to join me in this endeavor.  And she has accepted the invitation.
So, we will be working together and while we still have lots of details to
work out, this is a new beginning as well.   

 

What I would like to do is to invite all of you on this list to aid in
putting together the Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS program by contributing
videos like Bob has done here as well as articles.  When I saw it, I
immediately knew that I wanted to use the Hopi vision as an opening to the
presentation I will be making at Sacred Rocks in September.  But as I was
watching this, I also saw the Grandmother's video and want to include it as
well as introductory pieces.  

 

For my initial presentation at Sacred Rocks, I want to do a slide
presentation that will give an overview of all the things I consider to be
extremely important to evolving our consciousness as a collective.  The
other stuff, believe it or not, is all "small stuff" because once enough of
us begin to think differently, then is when things will really begin to
change.  

 

So, the real focus must be on not just talking about this, but finding ways
to motivate people to take actions that result in change.

Dana Milbank Calls Premise For Arizona Immigration Law 'A Fallacy'
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/09/dana-milbank-calls-premis_n_641165.
html
Updated: 07- 9-10 03:25 PM

The Washington Post's Dana Milbank offers a solid debunk of Arizona-based
illegal immigrant paranoia today, pointing out that "the entire premise of
the Arizona immigration law is a fallacy."

    "Two months ago, the Arizona Republic published an exhaustive report
that found that, according to statistics from the FBI and Arizona police
agencies, crime in Arizona border towns has been "essentially flat for the
past decade." For example, "In 2000, there were 23 rapes, robberies and
murders in Nogales, Ariz. Last year, despite nearly a decade of population
growth, there were 19 such crimes." The Pima County sheriff reported that
"the border has never been more secure."


    "FBI statistics show violent crime rates in all of the border states
are lower than they were a decade ago -- yet Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
reports that the violence is "the worst I have ever seen." President Obama
justifiably asserted last week that "the southern border is more secure
today than any time in the past 20 years," yet Rush Limbaugh judged the
president to be "fit for the psycho ward" on the basis of that remark.

    "Without question, illegal immigration and Mexican drug cartels are
huge problems. And there is a real danger that the alarming and growing
violence in Mexico could spread north. But beyond anecdotes -- the slaying
of a rancher and the shooting of a sheriff's deputy -- there is no evidence
that it has."

Milbank touches on something we've touched on before: John McCain's
contention that Phoenix, Arizona is the number two capital for kidnapping
in the world. This is utterly incorrect. But McCain's assertions have
nevertheless evolved. Let's recall that when he was on Meet The Press,
McCain put it like this:

    DAVID GREGORY: Is immigration reform in a comprehensive way possible
this year or in this term?

    SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN: Not until we get the border secure. By the way, on
that issue, why is it that Phoenix, Arizona is the number two kidnapping
capital of the world? Does that mean our border is safe? Of course not.

In his appearance last week on This Week, he added a qualifier:

    MCCAIN: Because, as I said before, the level of violence on the border,
the human smuggling, the fact that Phoenix, Arizona, is the number-two
kidnapping capital of the world, according to media reports, the fact that
a recent -- a ring recently was broken up that brought people across our
border to Phoenix, Arizona, where people were -- drugs were distributed all
over the country, as well as people, means that the situation has changed
dramatically. 

See what happened there? McCain is on safe ground when he says "according
to media reports," because that's true. What goes unsaid, of course, is
that these media reports are dead wrong, which is something that Politifact
very deftly demonstrates with the help of Sgt. Tommy Thompson of the
Phoenix police department:

    "It was the media that said 'second in the world only to Mexico City,'
and it was basically because we were open enough to say that we have an
issue with kidnappings and not try to hide it," Thompson said.

In actuality, kidnappings in Phoenix are declining. But the police
department's interest in the matter simply spurred the worst, most
sensational instincts in the media, who have essentially played a round of
The Telephone Game until they came up with this alarming, yet incorrect
sound bite that McCain now cites.

Milbank: "Last year gave us death panels and granny killings, but compared
with the nonsense justifying the immigration crackdown, the health-care
debate was an evening at the Oxford Union Society."

Hey, and the "death panels" are back for a return engagement this summer!
But I'm sure everyone will know better this time.

It's Time for an NIH Institute for Nutrition

By T. Colin Campbell, Professor emeritus of nutritional biochemistry at
Cornell University and co-author with his son Thomas Campbell, MD, of "The
China Study."

Finally, a long overdue scientific correction is happening. The human
genome project is failing to advance the cause of human health, as
promised. There is a fundamental but frustratingly and long overlooked
reason why this is happening.

Working out the details of the human genome was worth doing, on several
accounts: monitoring environmental pollutants, evaluating evolutionary
lineages, identifying criminal suspects. But initially promising great
advances in human health was not and should not have been one of these
promises. Hypothesizing that knowledge of the associations of specific
genes with serious diseases like cancer, heart disease and related diseases
would lead to great health advances (through drug development) was a
superficial and costly oversimplification of disease causation.

Although genes and/or their mutated forms are fundamental to the initiation
of all disease events, it is not their mere presence or absence that
determines disease outcomes. Genes may start the job but they do not finish
it. The far more important question we should ask is: what controls the
expression of genes (to produce products, mostly enzymes) that lead to
health and disease events? Experimental and extensively published research
from my laboratory over several decades has long convinced me that
nutrition primarily provides this control. We have failed to acknowledge
this question or sought its answer for far too long because we have failed
to understand the scientific fundamentals of nutrition. Not one medical
school in the nation adequately teaches this science, although a few give
it lip service.

Still worse is the failure of federal funding agencies to recognize
nutrition as a legitimate medical science. The National Institutes of
Health, the most prominent biomedical research institution in the world,
since its founding has kept nutrition well hidden. Not one of its 27
institutes and related centers is dedicated to nutrition! Some NIH
administrators say nutrition is embedded in other programs but do not be
fooled. First, dedicated nutrition funding is meager (less than five
percent of the heart and cancer institutes--the two largest). Second, this
small amount has been used primarily to study single nutrient effects in
randomized clinical trials, a seriously flawed hypothesis.

Nutrition should not to be defined by the effects of isolated nutrients.
That's pharmacology, a strategy now known not to work, in spite of the $25
billion or so that we annually spend on nutrient supplements. Unequivocal
evidence now exists to show that nutrition, when provided by the use of
whole, plant-based foods, can control the expression of our mischievous
genes that otherwise would lead to serious ailments such as heart disease,
diabetes, certain autoimmune diseases and many lesser ailments. For many
years, experimental findings from my laboratory have shown that genetic
initiation of cancer (by a powerful chemical carcinogen) can be stalled
even reversed by a modest nutritional modification that is consistent with
this same whole, plant-based food effect. (This research was funded by NIH
because of my interest in cancer but, eventually, we learned that it was
the tail, nutrition, that wagged the dog -- cancer.) Physician colleagues
of mine, including Drs. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr., Dean Ornish, Roy Swank and
Neal Barnard have now published peer-reviewed findings showing this kind of
nutrition not only to prevent serious diseases such as heart disease,
diabetes and related ailments but to treat them into remission.

There is no other strategy in contemporary health science or medical
practice that comes close to the breadth and depth of health benefits
achievable by nutrition. We must begin to understand, communicate and apply
this knowledge if we ever hope to reduce health care costs by reducing the
burden of disease. We will never do this by depending on outmoded notions
of what single (or even a few) genes, single nutrients or single chemicals
(i.e., drugs) will do to create health. That thinking generates wealth for
a few at the expense of health for the many. It is time to recognize the
natural and harmonious biological complexity of health processes, and
choose the lifestyle strategy that best maintains and restores that
harmony. Nature has had eons of time to work this out. It's also time to
develop a professional science of nutrition that serves the biological
health of the population, not the economic health of commerce.

As for health professionals who claim they cannot convince patients to
change their dietary practices, this is not surprising when the
professionals themselves are not educated in this field and are vested in a
strategy that is the antithesis of good nutrition. It is time we recognize
what nutrition can do and a good place to start is to establish an NIH
Institute of Nutrition dedicated for this purpose.

Dear Friends of the American Monetary Institute,
(Please pardon multiple postings)

Hopefully you've celebrated this July 4th Independence Day in good style. AMI people went to Chicago's Oak Street Beach. We kept an upbeat attitude, despite the serious problems our nation faces.

We remembered the importance to peoples around the earth, of our forefathers declaring independence from old world tyranny. We inspired a revolution in France. Later, thanks to France's gift, our Statue of Liberty served as a beacon inviting peoples to our shores; including my parents and grand parents from Italy. They achieved the American Dream - owning a home and educating their kids.

Our Constitution and Bill of Rights provided some safeguards and checks and balances that held anti-democratic and anti-human forces at bay, and separated government from religion, the misuse of which had caused so much pain in the old world. But unfortunately, because the founders as a group did not understand the nature of money, they allowed corrupt monetary beliefs and practices of the old world to gain a foothold on our shores, starting with the establishment of the privately owned 1st Bank of the U.S. in 1791 (detailed in Ch. 15 of The Lost Science of Money book). As with all major banking legislation here, fraud was involved.

This privatization of the money power is an "original sin" of our system, from which most of our social problems arise. Though the Constitution expressly forbade the establishment of an Aristocracy here, my neighbor President Martin Van Buren would write ?The MONEY POWER (he always capitalized it)... when firmly established, was destined to become the only kind of an Aristocracy that could exist in our political system.? That aristocracy, through concentration of wealth and power and various financial tricks, is in the process of destroying the checks and balances which had offered protection. Witness the recent Supreme Court ruling allowing corporations to finance and thereby control elections.

Economists willingly embraced the pernicious errors allowing the financial establishment to control our nation, by confusing credit for money. WHY? Salaries and position, and tenure:
?What makes all doctrines plain and clear? About two hundred pounds a year. And that which was proved true before, proved false again? Two hundred more.? - Samuel Butler?s Hudibras on Economics said it all.

Clearly, "economics" is a failed profession, with rare and sometimes great individual exceptions. Indeed, Jamie Galbraith in testimony before the Senate Judicial Committee, Subcommittee on Crime, recently wrote: "I write you as a member of a disgraced profession" and he suggested they put the fear of Congress into the financial operators who brought down the world economy. But in general, economists focusing on theoretical, mathematically dominated thinking, ignoring factual results, are unable to make course corrections to public policy. And too many Congressmen, including the financial committees leadership, were too close to the economic wreckers to propose real reform.

The financial "reforms" they are arguing over now do not fundamentally address the main problem - a privatized money system based on using private credit instead of government money. This special privilege always leads to an obscene concentration of wealth, which then can overcome the regulations.

Thus at the recent meeting of G20 countries, they proposed a double-whammy to kick the World's economies while they're down, calling for "fiscal consolidation" and 're-capitalization' of banks. Both would have the effect of putting less money into the economy while taking more money out of the economy - and they're so deluded, they claim to be expecting 'growth' to come from these conditions of monetary drought and deflation. Along with that recurring delusion, we see the ongoing illusion that the 'remedy' for debt-ridden citizens, businesses and governments is to load them up with more debt(!) We say "deluded" as the only other explanation would be that they're deliberately trying to collapse the economies.

NEW ITEMS AT THE AMI WEBSITE
The American Monetary Act (attached) is legislation which fundamentally reforms the private CREDIT system now wrecking our nation, replacing it with a government MONEY system. The act is in the final stages of development. We suggest you especially read through the "Findings" and "Purposes" section again at the beginning of the Act.
Summarizing how the Act achieves its purposes:
The Federal Reserve becomes incorporated into the U.S. Treasury. Banks no longer have the accounting privilege of creating our money supply. All their previously issued credit is converted into U.S. Money through an elegant and gentle accounting change, which has been described as brilliant by a former officer of the NY Fed. The banks are held accountable for this conversion. New money is then introduced by the government spending it into circulation for infrastructure, starting with the $2.2 trillion the engineers tell us is needed to properly maintain our infrastructure over the next 5 years. Infrastructure will include the necessary human infrastructure of health care and education.

Banks are encouraged to continue lending as profit making companies, but are no longer allowed to create our money supply through their loan making activity.
Thus, The American Monetary Act nationalizes the money system, not the banking system.? Banking is absolutely not a proper function of government, but providing the nation?s money supply is a key function of government. No one else can do it properly. Talk of nationalizing the banking business may really act like a poison pill or diversion to block real reform.MORE BLOG ARTICLES AND REVIEWS OF CURRENT WORKS AND IDEAS ON MONEY
Our new webmaster urges us to blog more, and so we start today with Dick Distelhorst's new article entitled "The Blueprint for Prosperity for All."? Read it from our home page and post your comments (http://www.monetary.org).? New articles will follow regularly. We'll be adding more reviews of monetary books and ideas on the homepage now. Three more are in the works with AMI Chapter leaders. Check back to the review section every so often to see whats new.

Moving Into:? TOTAL? WELLNESS 



As you all know, I?ve been studying Bipolar Disorder for quite awhile now, and 
have always considered it to be a ?social disease.? In fact, I wrote awhile back 
on Facebook that I thought one facet of this conundrum is that so many of us are 
opposed to war, yet we have a government that loves war,? which encases us in a 
Catch 22 that we can?t maneuver out of.? And this, and other things like it is 
what causes the ?pain? we find ourselves in as we go looking for anything to 
self-medicate with. 




So, I am eternally greatful to Eileen Workman for posting this to Facebook and 
sharing it with many others.? And I wanted to share it with list members here 
since she is a newer member of the Co-learner?s List.? 




One of the things that has been discovered with regard to people who suffer from 
BPD is that many of them are extremely bright.? And this certainly applies to 
Eileen.? 




With love and in gratitude for all that you do, Eileen.? And I hope we hear more 
from you.?

<http://eileen-workman.blogspot.com/2010/07/resolving-human-bipolarity.html> 
Resolving Human Bipolarity


As a woman who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder for a while now, I've 
had the opportunity to observe how this so-called "disease" manifests inside me, 
as well as to notice when and why it manifests. I've also learned what to do to 
help myself move beyond it, to the point where it no longer feels like a medical 
disorder but has actually become a helpful tool for navigating reality. 


The good news is, bipolar disorder isn't "personal." It's actually happening to 
a whole lot of people these days, which means it's probably something humanity 
has to move through as part of a collective evolutionary shift in our 
consciousness. 


The best way to explain what I see as the cause of bipolar disorder is to use a 
computer metaphor most people can understand. Anyone who's ever owned a computer 
knows that they rely on a basic operating system to make them work. Programmers 
write applications specific to the operating system using languages the system 
understands. Things may run smoothly for a while, but inevitably we learn that 
the operating system we've been using has some serious limitations, so we 
upgrade to a new operating system. Unfortunately though, after we upgrade we 
often discover that our old applications will no longer run on the new operating 
system. That means we need to buy brand new applications (or application 
upgrades) to get our new system to work.

The modern human brain - like many computers nowadays - is concurrently running 
dual operating systems: let's call them Humanity 1.0 and Humanity 2.0. Humanity 
1.0 has been mankind's default operating system for many thousands of years now. 
It's a system that basically tells us we're each separate from everything else 
and that life is a win/lose game. Humanity 1.0's programs are filled with usses 
and thems, victims and persecutors, the victors and the vanquished. In Humanity 
1.0, mankind is the ruler of all that he sees and the entire natural world is 
his to exploit for strategic advantage. Virtually all our present social 
applications - our traditional religions, judicial systems, educational systems, 
economic infrastructures and political systems - were designed to operate 
effectively using Humanity 1.0. 


Sometime in the recent past a new operating system birthed itself into being, 
one with fewer limitations and a lot of exciting possibilities for the future. 
It's a pretty cool system too, in that it removes the fear of loss from the game 
of life and replaces it with things like trust, love and social harmony. 
Humanity 2.0 informs us we live in a unified, interconnected and fully alive 
world in which our differentiation doesn't separate us from everything else so 
much as makes us more valuable to the whole, which in turn nourishes and 
supports us as individuals and as a collective. Humanity 2.0 proposes that, 
because everything in life is inextricably interconnected, the only way any of 
us can truly win is if we all play a win/win game. In Humanity 2.0, mankind's 
role is to carefully steward the world's natural resources for the long term 
benefit of all the life forms with whom we share our space. While Humanity 2.0 
is a wonderful operating system, to date mankind hasn't written many 
applications that run on it. That makes it really hard for our brains to 
function well in 2.0, because our existing programs only run on 1.0.

What, you're probably asking by now, does any of this have to do with human 
bipolar disorder? My proposition, based on my own internal experience, is that 
what we presently call bipolar disorder is actually a clinical observation of 
what happens to people under one of four problematic operating conditions: 


1) Their minds are running on Humanity 1.0 and they perceive themselves as big 
losers in the game of life (depression.) 


2) Their minds are running on Humanity 1.0 and they momentarily perceive 
themselves as huge winners in the game of life (mania.) 


3) Their minds are running on Humanity 2.0, but they keep bucking up against 
those who are running on 1.0 and don't understand how to play a win/win game 
(depression.)

4) Their minds are running on Humanity 2.0, but they haven't yet found enough 
useful applications to help them manage the system's immense capacities and 
bring some working structure to the game of life (mania).

The trouble is, none of the programs we've written for Humanity 1.0 will run on 
Humanity 2.0, because win/lose games are fundamentally incompatible with a 
win/win operating system. If we try running a 1.0 program on the 2.0 system we 
wind up with a total system crash, which I can tell you REALLY hurts the head! A 
hard reboot will eventually restart the system, but it isn't a pleasant 
experience from inside. 


For an example of the kind of system incompatibility I'm talking about, let's 
consider the environmental folks known as "ELF," which stands for "Environmental 
Liberation Front." As 2.0 operators, they fervently want all of us to do 
whatever we can to nurture and support the environment that sustains us. So far, 
so good. The trouble begins though, when they then go out and blow up automobile 
dealerships that sell gas guzzling trucks and SUV's to make their point. That's 
clearly a 1.0 solution for a 2.0 operation. It's also bound to get the attention 
of the 1.0 police, who perceive the new system as some kind of worm, virus or 
other no-good intruder and try to kill it, or at least box it up for a good long 
time so it can't create any more conflict with the 1.0 system.

An example of 2.0 software that some people tried - and failed miserably - to 
run on the 1.0 system would be (don't bite my head off!) communism. As an 
economic philosophy communism was a win/win application, written to illustrate 
what our world could look like if everyone supported everyone else in maximizing 
their talents, passions and skills, then we each gifted of our abilities freely 
to everyone else. It predicted a world of peaceful abundance, and would have 
been just fine running on Humanity 2.0. The trouble with applying communism to 
society at the time it was first implemented was that the 2.0 operating system 
wasn't up and running in nearly enough human beings, so the proponents of 
communism tried to jam it onto Humanity 1.0 using the power and fear of fascism 
to make it work. Win/win games can't succeed at the point of a gun, so the 2.0 
program crashed and burned and everyone assumed the program itself was very 
badly written. Unfortunate, but predictable with the benefit of 2.0 hindsight.

The key to successfully navigating this complex systems/programming mess seems 
to be twofold. First, we must remember there is always an operator - our own 
internal sense of awareness - who can choose, at any moment, which operating 
system he or she wants to run. If we don't choose consciously, our unconscious 
mind will choose a system for us, which means by default we'll mainly be running 
the very limited Humanity 1.0, since it's the system most compatible with our 
existing applications. If we choose instead to consciously run Humanity 2.0, 
which is kind of like an iPhone on super steroids, we then have to take some 
responsibility for designing new software for everyone else so they can see what 
a really cool system we're able to run. The early software we write probably 
won't shake up the world, but if we can design a couple of really neat 
applications and begin using them consistently we're going to demonstrate 
swiftly how much more we can collectively accomplish - and how much faster - 
using 2.0. One amazing 2.0 application already in operation is the Internet 
itself, which offers a dizzying array of information and fresh new ideas to 
anyone with access to a computer...and does so for free, out of the deep desire 
to give and share of ourselves. 


My recommendation is that everyone check out the new Humanity 2.0 operating 
system for themselves and play around with the possibilities. Let's then put our 
heads together and see what software we can come up with to make it work for us 
all. The sooner we do so, the quicker we can retire Humanity 1.0 with honors, 
and the sooner "bipolar disorder" will become a disease of the past.

Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS 

 

We have previously discussed coffee as a drug,  but, let's look again the
addiction factor - why is it we drink so much coffee? 

 

One of the concerns with drinking coffee is the amount of land being used to
produce this drug that has little, if any, nutritional value.  We also have
to be concerned with energy costs in terms of transporting coffee from the
point of origin to the point of sale. 

 

Also, when we are talking about coffee use, in many instances we must
consider the amount of sugar and cream used in addition to the coffee.  

 

This is an interesting article by Dr. Mercola on Killer Sugar/Suicide with a
Spoon. 

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2000/01/09/killer-sugar-s
uicide-with-a-spoon-sugar-dangers.aspx

 

And, here is one on the use of dairy products.    

 

Overall, if a stimulus is needed, raw chocolate is a much better choice due
to the amount of vitamins and minerals contained in it.  What we are talking
about here is the cacao bean which is made into  chocolate bars, but without
the added milk and sugar. It is also unroasted and may be combined with
agave or sea salt.  

 

Cocao is the seed of a fruit of an Amazonian tree that was brought to
Central America during or before the time of the Olmecs.  Cocao "nibs" as
they are called, are the "new coffee" since they can be ground and made into
a lovely hot chocolate drink.  Coca nibs are the best on the market as they
are totally untreated, are raw, and 100% organic and certified.  

 

According to David Woolf, author of "Naked Chocolate: "The Astounding Truth
About the World's Greatest Food," chocolate in its natural state is the best
form of magnesium, chromium and iron, which are the three top nutritional
deficiencies in the U.S.  It is also extraordinarily high in Vitamin C.  As
well it contains Omega - 6 fatty acids and is a wonderful source of natural
fiber.     

 

Again, according to Woolf, raw chocolate also contains neurotransmitter
modulating agents, which are chemicals that act as natural antidepressants.
"They allow neurotransmitters like serotonin to remain in our blood stream
longer than usual - and  help the body stay younger.  A Harvard study of
7,841 healthy men found that those who ate chocolate did indeed live longer
than those who never ate chocolate.  

 

Raw chocolate is also very high in antioxidants and ranks No. 1 in the world
being 30 times higher than red wine and 20 times higher than raw tea. 

 

Raw chocolate also contains PEAs (phenylethylamines), the chemicals
contained in chocolate that make us feel like we are in love.    

 

This is an all around food that is good for you makes you feel good at the
same time.  Feel free to indulge yourself.

Hooked on Caffeine?


If you can't get by without that morning jolt or afternoon pick-me-up, you
could have a caffeine addiction. Here's how you can know for sure.


By  <http://www.everydayhealth.com/contributing-writers-and-editors.aspx>
Regina B. Wheeler

Medically reviewed by
<http://www.everydayhealth.com/medical-reviewers.aspx> Pat F. Bass III, MD,
MPH

 

Do you rely on your morning coffee to get you out the door - and reach for
another cup as soon as you get to work? You could be feeding a caffeine
<http://www.everydayhealth.com/addiction/addiction-basics.aspx> addiction.
And once you're hooked, kicking the habit can be tough.

You might not realize it, but
<http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/caffeine> caffeine is the most common
mood-altering drug in the world. It is a mild stimulant that works on the
central nervous system. Just ask any java junkie - caffeine can make you
more alert, give you an energy boost, and keep you from snoozing when you
need to stay awake.

Caffeine can be found in many products like tea, soft drinks, energy drinks,
and some over-the-counter medications, but coffee is the leading dietary
source of caffeine among American adults. Generally, three 8-ounce cups of
coffee per day is considered moderate consumption and won't hurt you,
according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). However, excessive
caffeine use - more than 10 8-ounce cups of coffee per day - can produce
physical side effects including tremors, anxiety, insomnia, and a "crash" of
extreme fatigue once the caffeine starts to wear off.

Symptoms of Caffeine Withdrawal

The brain fog and headache that some people get if they don't have their
typical amount of coffee or other caffeinated beverage might actually be a
sign of caffeine withdrawal syndrome, according to a recent study.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University Medical School in Baltimore and
American University in Washington, D.C., reviewed 66 experimental and survey
studies on caffeine withdrawal. They identified these common symptoms:

.         Headache

.         Fatigue or drowsiness

.         Depression and irritability

.         Difficulty concentrating

.         Flu-like symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, and muscle aches

Typically, symptoms began 12 to 24 hours after stopping caffeine and peaked
within one to two days. Some subjects reported symptoms that were so severe
they couldn't work. Generally, the heaviest consumers of caffeine reported
the most bothersome symptoms, but even people who missed 100 milligrams, or
one regular cup of coffee, experienced withdrawal symptoms. Study
participants agreed that avoiding withdrawal helped motivate them to
continue using caffeine.

Caffeine Tolerance Is on the Rise

Daniel Evatt, PhD, research fellow in the department of psychiatry at Johns
Hopkins University Medical School, says people can stop feeling the effects
of caffeine, or become tolerant, leading to the need for more and more to
feel alert. But Dr. Evatt also points out that most people find a
comfortable level and stick with that. "It usually doesn't keep going up
forever, and not all caffeine users develop tolerance." However, high doses
of caffeine (more than 750 milligrams over the course of every day) can
produce complete tolerance. That means the drug no longer has a discernible
effect.

The Warning Signs of Caffeine Addiction

Experiencing withdrawal symptoms and tolerance are signs that you are
becoming physically dependent on caffeine, Evatt says. He also notes that if
you are experiencing the following signs and symptoms, you may have
developed an unhealthy caffeine addiction:

.         You experience insomnia, frequent headaches, or difficulty
concentrating

.         You continue to use caffeine despite being told to stop by a
health professional

.         You have difficulties cutting down or quitting even if you want to

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) doesn't
recognize caffeine addiction as a mental disorder, but it may be included in
the updated DSM-V. The World Health Organization's International Statistical
Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems(ICD-10) does
recognize caffeine addiction as a disorder.

Kicking the Caffeine Habit

Evatt is part of a Johns Hopkins team working on a caffeine dependence
<http://www.everydayhealth.com/addiction/addiction-treatment.aspx> treatment
program. If you want to quit, "I would first recommend becoming aware of how
much caffeine you are consuming daily," Evatt says, adding that many people
underestimate their use. He advises people against trying to quit caffeine
cold turkey. "Withdrawal headaches can last days in some individuals," he
says. Instead, cut down slowly to lessen withdrawal symptoms.

The American Dietetic Association gives these tips for cutting down on
caffeine:

.         Mix decaffeinated coffee in with regular coffee

.         Drink a latte with more low-fat milk than coffee

.         Brew tea for less time

.         Pick soft drinks without caffeine

If these measures don't work and you think your caffeine consumption is
turning into a troublesome caffeine addiction, it might be time to find an
<http://www.everydayhealth.com/addiction/addiction-medical-care-team.aspx>
addiction specialist for treatment.

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS 

 

 

IMHO  it is way past time for us to acknowledge the presence of what we call
extra-terrestrials here on Earth, and to also acknowledge the truth of the
origin of homo-sapiens as told by Zecharia Sitchen in his books:  "The Earth
Chronicles" which are the translations of the Sumerian Tablets. 

These tablets, approximately 10,000 of them, were found in and around the
area in which the ancient city of Sumer existed prior to the time it was
destroyed by a nuclear detonation designated for the City of Babylon, but
when the winds shifted, Sumer as well was destroyed.  

However, the Nephilim, as they are referred to in the Bible, wrote in the
tablets that they would return at this time to aid  the people of the Earth
in dealing with this crises of this time.

Robert Howes Hi Robert,

Please start off this discussion.

Bob
***on Wednesday ? Report

 

Bob Wilkinson Although this may be a better system because of no taxation and that the government spends the non-repayable money into circulation when necessary, it still has all the complexities that any money based system has, which means that the rules will always be changing with each generation, banks, governments, etc. But how to get the ball rolling and get a real moneyless economy started? First, the idea needs to be become more visible, and not considered a kook idea, then at some point people will have to just do their jobs and not expect money for compensation, and in return not have to use money to get their material needs. Sounds simplistic, but I don't see any other way. Until there is a mass epiphany, and society has a renaissance moment and comes to their senses and realizes that money just mucks up the works and makes life more difficult, we are going to continue to waste our precious time performing mental calculations, endlessly
 tallying up interest, wages, and whatnot and worrying about our retirement. Anyway, that's all for now.on Wednesday ? Report

 

Robert Searle I think the following points should be considered.

i) TFE is a transitional system towards the ultimate aim of a moneyless world.

ii) Phase I TFE could be undertaken very quickly by special banks concerned with sustainability, and green products/services. These banks are called Facilitator Banks, or FBs (term not yet used in the entry on this subject at the p2pfoundation).With so-called grant interest as an incentive they would be able to electronically create new non-repayable money (like governments but be tracked, and monitored by the Central Bank, or some other body to prevent fraud) for some project which could in part also include investors using earned money ofcourse. It is similiar to the concept of Advanced Market Commitment, or AMC. FBs would have powers to create subsidies, and other ways to ease finance in some project (especially those with little, or no obvious commercial incentive but have high humanitarian, environmental, and sustainable value so to speak). Objective checks on the capacity of the relevant suppliers of products, and services would be undertaken to
 ensure that there is no disallocation of resources which could lead to serious rises in the free market price as well as shortages. If necessary investment by FBs could be made to increase capacity where, and when necessary.

iii) Phase II TFE involves the gradual introduction of new, or upgraded computers, and new computer programming into the banking system. FBs (and the normal banking sector) would start to in part to monitor the volume, and sales of products,and services directly from the real economy. If there is any serious problems of inflation these could be subject to an instant electronic price controls. Moreover, if this leads to a serious loss in profit to a business this would be instantly compensated by new non-repayable money created electronically to the relevant bank account(s). However, every attempt would be made to avoid serious price distortions.

Taxes, and interest would also be gradually phased out altogether. Interest would be paid for by an independent public body.

iv) Phase III TFE is the full global introduction of electronic monitoring of goods, and services. The key aim of this is not only to keep inflation in check if necessary but also to have highly accurate data of how much in the way of real resources are being used up on our "small" planet. Such knowledge will become increasingly important as this will give growing green businesses (subsidised mainly by FBs rather than by governments) to make the best use of limited resources. Furthermore, we would unlike now have a far more adbvanced understanding of the mechanics of the economy itself.

At this stage, taxes, and interest would no longer exist.

v) During Phase II, and Phase III TFE there would be a huge increase in automation. This would ultimately end the need for wage slavery. With the help of carefully targeted subsidies virtually all businesses would have become responsible as far as the environment, and sustainability is concerned. At the same time, there would be unemployment on a huge scale. But people would be able to indulge in "leisure-like" pursuits, and receive a form of financial benefit created by new non-repayable money. NGOs would become far more poweful, and influential in society, and would spearhead changes on a mass scale to create a new, saner world no longer based on greed, and money. They would be able to challenge centralized power structures as never before, and will find getting grants alot easier to come by. The upshot of all this is a moneyless world but one in which open democracy, and respect for universal human rights acts as the basis of an evolved technocratic
 world..

Anyway, food for thought..on Thursday ? Delete Post

 

Robert Howes Hi Robert,

If I understood it I might agree with it. So far I haven't been able to get my head around it at all. If you could really simplify it then I and others might be able to get it.
***
I understand the money system we have now in which money circulates. I spend some money. The people I exchange with give me goods and services and they get my money. Then they do the same. The tax people get their cut at some of these exchanges and that pays for public services. 
***
The rich people get their cut and spend some of it and sit on the rest. They call it investments but they are effectively sitting on it and getting paid for doing so. That is one of the problems with money. The solution is something along the lines of the circle city. 
***
How would your system fit into this scenario? Please explain it like ten or a hundred people marrooned on an island for years and years.

Cheers,

Bob
***on Thursday ? Report

 

Robert Searle 
With respect, I am coming to the opinion that TFE is best left to people who really understand economics. Why I post my "adverts" on the subject is really a way of getting it better known. I do not always have time to give answers to every query.

Moreover, it is not just another "cranky" theory because in April of this year there was an important reputable scientific conference held in Florida on engineering, and meta-engineering (ICEME). One subject which was presented was on TFE. I was amazed by this because I was not informed, and only discovered it by chance. 

Ofcourse. something like community currencies are very easy to understand but if you want to get into full-blooded economics things can get complex....even for economists!

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS

 

Thanks to Trading Post Paul for this one. 

 

I've commented on this previously, but am coming back to it since I feel it
is a very high priority item. 

 

 

The Health Care Bill will not and never was designed to take care of what
ails us. What it is designed for is to make more money for the health care
industry with an emphasis on the insurance companies involved. 

 

The answer lays in using well researched modalities of alternative healing
to bring relief to those now suffering from dis-ease, coupled with
preventive measures which boost the immune system and stop disease prior to
its entry into the soft tissue of the body. 

 

For greater understanding of this, i am recommending two books: "Infinite
Mind - The Science of the Human Vibrations of Consciousness" by Dr. Valerie
V. Hunt, Ph.D., Ph.D. & a new book: "The Healing Code - 6 Minutes to Heal
the Source of Any Health, Success, or Relationship Issues" by Alex Loyd,
Ph.D.,ND and Ben Johnson, MD, DO, NMD. 

 

While we have discussed Infinite Mind quite a bit, i have not written
anything about The Healing Code because it was published just this year, and
i received a copy of it only about three weeks ago. I have been using it
since then with what i feel to be remarkable results regarding some
emotional issues i have been dealing with recently, although the real tests
would be with regard to a major disease in the body. However, the
testimonials included with the book reveal astounding results. As well, the
co-author, Dr. Ben Johnson, joined Dr. Loyd in his research and practice
after healing himself from Lou Gehrig disease, something that had previously
never been done. 

 

So, this is a healing modality, generally referred to as "energy healing"
that needs to be considered very seriously. And, as the authors write: no
one has ever been injured by using the modality recommended which is
designed to heal by removing stress from the body/mind field, and, in
particular from the immune system. 

 

As we explore in greater depth, Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS, I will be
bringing more information on this to light as we learn just how powerful the
human mind is and how we may more effectively manage this power.


 

 

 

Obama's Health Care Bill Is Enough to Make You Sick Published on Monday,
July 12, 2010 by TruthDig.com by Chris Hedges
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/obamas_health_care_bill_is_enough_to_mak

e_you_sick_20100712/

   A close reading of the new health care legislation, which will
conveniently take effect in 2014 after the next presidential election, is
deeply depressing. The legislation not only mocks the lofty promises made by
President Barack Obama, exposing most as lies, but sadly reconfirms that our
nation is hostage to unchecked corporate greed and abuse. The simple truth,
that single-payer nonprofit health care for all Americans would dramatically
reduce costs and save lives, that the for-profit health care system is the
problem and must be destroyed, is censored out of the public debate by a
media that relies on these corporations as major advertisers and sponsors,
as well as a morally bankrupt Democratic Party that is as bought off by
corporations as the Republicans.

   The 2,000-page piece of legislation, according to figures compiled by
Physicians for a National Health Plan (PNHP), will leave at least 23 million
people without insurance, a figure that translates into an estimated 23,000
unnecessary deaths a year among people who cannot afford care. It will
permit prices to climb so that many of us will soon be paying close to 10
percent of our annual income to buy commercial health insurance, although
this coverage will only pay for about 70 percent of our medical expenses.
Those who become seriously ill, lose their incomes and cannot pay
skyrocketing premiums will be denied coverage. And at least $447 billion in
taxpayer subsidies will now be handed to insurance firms. We will be forced
by law to buy their defective products. There is no check in the new
legislation to halt rising health care costs. The elderly can be charged
three times the rates provided to the young. Companies with predominantly
female work forces can be charged higher gender-based rates.

The dizzying array of technical loopholes in the bill-written in by armies
of insurance and pharmaceutical lobbyists-means that these companies, which
profit off human sickness, suffering and death, can continue their grim game
of trading away human life for money.

   "They named this legislation the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act, and as the tradition of this nation goes, any words they put into the
name of a piece of legislation means the opposite," said single-payer
activist Dr. Margaret Flowers when I heard her and Helen Redmond dissect the
legislation in Chicago at the Socialism 2010 Conference last month. "It
neither protects patients nor leads to affordable care."

What Christians Don't Know About Israel
http://www.countercurrents.org/halsell120710.htm
By Grace Halsell 12 July, 2010
If Americans Knew

American Jews sympathetic to Israel dominate key positions in all areas of
our government where decisions are made regarding the Middle East. This
being the case, is there any hope of ever changing U.S. policy? American
Presidents as well as most members of Congress support Israel - and they
know why. U.S. Jews sympathetic to Israel donate lavishly to their campaign
coffers.

The answer to achieving an even-handed Middle East policy might lie
elsewhere - among those who support Israel but don't really know why.
This group is the vast majority of Americans. They are well-meaning,
fair-minded Christians who feel bonded to Israel - and Zionism - often
from atavistic feelings, in some cases dating from childhood.

I am one of those. I grew up listening to stories of a mystical,
allegorical, spiritual Israel. This was before a modern political entity
with the same name appeared on our maps. I attended Sunday School and
watched an instructor draw down window- type shades to show maps of the
Holy Land. I imbibed stories of a Good and Chosen people who fought against
their Bad "unChosen" enemies.

In my early 20s, I began traveling the world, earning my living as a
writer. I came to the subject of the Middle East rather late in my career.
I was sadly lacking in knowledge regarding the area. About all I knew was
what I had learned in Sunday School.

And typical of many U.S. Christians, I somehow considered a modern state
created in 1948 as a homeland for Jews persecuted under the Nazis as a
replica of the spiritual, mystical Israel I heard about as a child. When in
1979 I initially went to Jerusalem, I planned to write about the three
great monotheistic religions and leave out politics. "Not write about
politics?" scoffed one Palestinian, smoking a waterpipe in the Old Walled
City. "We eat politics, morning, noon and night!"

As I would learn, the politics is about land, and the co-claimants to that
land: the indigenous Palestinians who have lived there for 2,000 years and
the Jews who started arriving in large numbers after the Second World War.
By living among Israeli Jews as well as Palestinian Christians and Muslims,
I saw, heard, smelled, experienced the police state tactics Israelis use
against Palestinians.

My research led to a book entitled Journey to Jerusalem. My journey not
only was enlightening to me as regards Israel, but also I came to a deeper,
and sadder, understanding of my own country. I say sadder understanding
because I began to see that, in Middle East politics, we the people are not
making the decisions, but rather that supporters of Israel are doing so.
And typical of most Americans, I tended to think the U.S. media was
"free" to print news impartially.

`It shouldn't be published. It's anti-Israel.'

In the late 1970s, when I first went to Jerusalem, I was unaware that
editors could and would classify "news" depending on who was doing what
to whom. On my initial visit to Israel-Palestine, I had interviewed dozens
of young Palestinian men. About one in four related stories of torture.

Israeli police had come in the night, dragged them from their beds and
placed hoods over their heads. Then in jails the Israelis had kept them in
isolation, besieged them with loud, incessant noises, hung them upside down
and had sadistically mutilated their genitals. I had not read such stories
in the U.S. media. Wasn't it news? Obviously, I naively thought, U.S.
editors simply didn't know it was happening.

On a trip to Washington, DC, I hand-delivered a letter to Frank Mankiewicz,
then head of the public radio station WETA. I explained I had taped
interviews with Palestinians who had been brutally tortured. And I'd make
them available to him. I got no reply. I made several phone calls.
Eventually I was put through to a public relations person, a Ms. Cohen, who
said my letter had been lost. I wrote again. In time I began to realize
what I hadn't known: had it been Jews who were strung up and tortured, it
would be news. But interviews with tortured Arabs were "lost" at WETA.

The process of getting my book Journey to Jerusalem published also was a
learning experience. Bill Griffin, who signed a contract with me on behalf
of MacMillan Publishing Company, was a former Roman Catholic priest. He
assured me that no one other than himself would edit the book. As I
researched the book, making several trips to Israel and Palestine, I met
frequently with Griffin, showing him sample chapters. "Terrific," he
said of my material.

The day the book was scheduled to be published, I went to visit
MacMillan's. Checking in at a reception desk, I spotted Griffin across a
room, cleaning out his desk. His secretary Margie came to greet me. In
tears, she whispered for me to meet her in the ladies room. When we were
alone, she confided, "He's been fired." She indicated it was because
he had signed a contract for a book that was sympathetic to Palestinians.
Griffin, she said, had no time to see me.

Later, I met with another MacMillan official, William Curry. "I was told
to take your manuscript to the Israeli Embassy, to let them read it for
mistakes," he told me. "They were not pleased. They asked me, "You
are not going to publish this book, are you?" I asked, "Were there
mistakes?" "Not mistakes as such. But it shouldn't be published.
It's anti-Israel."

Somehow, despite obstacles to prevent it, the presses had started rolling.
After its publication in 1980, I was invited to speak in a number of
churches. Christians generally reacted with disbelief. Back then, there was
little or no coverage of Israeli land confiscation, demolition of
Palestinian homes, wan ton arrests and torture of Palestinian civilians.

The Same Question

Speaking of these injustices, I invariably heard the same question, "How
come I didn't know this?" Or someone might ask, "But I haven't read
about that in my newspaper." To these church audiences, I related my own
learning experience, that of seeing hordes of U.S. correspondents covering
a relatively tiny state. I pointed out that I had not seen so many
reporters in world capitals such as Beijing, Moscow, London, Tokyo, Paris.
Why, I asked, did a small state with a 1980 population of only four million
warrant more reporters than China, with a billion people?

I also linked this query with my findings that The New York Times, The Wall
Street Journal, The Washington Post - and most of our nation's print
media - are owned and/or controlled by Jews supportive of Israel. It was
for this reason, I deduced, that they sent so many reporters to cover
Israel - and to do so largely from the Israeli point of view.

My learning experiences also included coming to realize how easily I could
lose a Jewish friend if I criticized the Jewish state. I could with
impunity criticize France, England, Russia, even the United States. And any
aspect of life in America. But not the Jewish state. I lost more Jewish
friends than one after the publication of Journey to Jerusalem - all sad
losses for me and one, perhaps, saddest of all.

In the 1960s and 1970s, before going to the Middle East, I had written
about the plight of blacks in a book entitled Soul Sister, and the plight
of American Indians in a book entitled Bessie Yellowhair, and the problems
endured by undocumented workers crossing from Mexico in The Illegals. These
books had come to the attention of the "mother" of The New York Times,
Mrs. Arthur Hays Sulzberger.

Her father had started the newspaper, then her husband ran it, and in the
years that I knew her, her son was the publisher. She invited me to her
fashionable apartment on Fifth Avenue for lunches and dinner parties. And,
on many occasions, I was a weekend guest at her Greenwich, Conn., home.

She was liberal-minded and praised my efforts to speak for the underdog,
even going so far in one letter to say, "You are the most remarkable
woman I ever knew." I had little concept that from being buoyed so high I
could be dropped so suddenly when I discovered - from her point of view
- the "wrong" underdog.

As it happened, I was a weekend guest in her spacious Connecticut home when
she read bound galleys of Journey to Jerusalem. As I was leaving, she
handed the galleys back with a saddened look: "My dear, have you
forgotten the Holocaust?" She felt that what happened in Nazi Germany to
Jews several decades earlier should silence any criticism of the Jewish
state. She could focus on a holocaust of Jews while negating a modern day
holocaust of Palestinians.

I realized, quite painfully, that our friendship was ending. Iphigene
Sulzberger had not only invited me to her home to meet her famous friends
but, also at her suggestion, The Times had requested articles. I wrote
op-ed articles on various subjects including American blacks, American
Indians as well as undocumented workers. Since Mrs. Sulzberger and other
Jewish officials at the Times highly praised my efforts to help these
groups of oppressed peoples, the dichotomy became apparent: most
"liberal" U.S. Jews stand on the side of all poor and oppressed peoples
save one - the Palestinians.

How handily these liberal Jewish opinion-molders tend to diminish the
Palestinians, to make them invisible, or to categorize them all as
"terrorists."

Interestingly, Iphigene Sulzberger had talked to me a great deal about her
father, Adolph S. Ochs. She told me that he was not one of the early
Zionists. He had not favored the creation of a Jewish state.

Yet, increasingly, American Jews have fallen victim to Zionism, a
nationalistic movement that passes for many as a religion. While the
ethical instructions of all great religions - including the teachings of
Moses, Muhammad and Christ - stress that all human beings are equal,
militant Zionists take the position that the killing of a non-Jew does not
count.

Over five decades now, Zionists have killed Palestinians with impunity. And
in the 1996 shelling of a U.N. base in Qana, Lebanon, the Israelis killed
more than 100 civilians sheltered there. As an Israeli journalist, Arieh
Shavit, explains of the massacre, "We believe with absolute certitude
that right now, with the White House in our hands, the Senate in our hands
and The New York Times in our hands, the lives of others do not count the
same way as our own."

Israelis today, explains the anti-Zionist Jew Israel Shahak, "are not
basing their religion on the ethics of justice. They do not accept the Old
Testament as it is written. Rather, religious Jews turn to the Talmud. For
them, the Talmudic Jewish laws become "the Bible." And the Talmud
teaches that a Jew can kill a non-Jew with impunity.

In the teachings of Christ, there was a break from such Talmudic teachings.
He sought to heal the wounded, to comfort the downtrodden.

The danger, of course, for U.S. Christians is that having made an icon of
Israel, we fall into a trap of condoning whatever Israel does - even
wanton murder - as orchestrated by God.

Yet, I am not alone in suggesting that the churches in the United States
represent the last major organized support for Palestinian rights. This
imperative is due in part to our historic links to the Land of Christ and
in part to the moral issues involved with having our tax dollars fund
Israeli-government-approved violations of human rights.

While Israel and its dedicated U.S. Jewish supporters know they have the
president and most of Congress in their hands, they worry about grassroots
America - the well-meaning Christians who care for justice. Thus far,
most Christians were unaware of what it was they didn't know about
Israel. They were indoctrinated by U.S. supporters of Israel in their own
country and when they traveled to the Land of Christ most all did so under
Israeli sponsorship. That being the case, it was unlikely a Christian ever
met a Palestinian or learned what caused the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

This is gradually changing, however. And this change disturbs the Israelis.
As an example, delegates attending a Christian Sabeel conference in
Bethlehem earlier this year said they were harassed by Israeli security at
the Tel Aviv airport.

"They asked us," said one delegate, "Why did you use a Palestinian
travel agency? Why didn't you use an Israeli agency?" The interrogation
was so extensive and hostile that Sabeel leaders called a special session
to brief the delegates on how to handle the harassment. Obviously, said one
delegate, "The Israelis have a policy to discourage us from visiting the
Holy Land except under their sponsorship. They don't want Christians to
start learning all they have never known about Israel."

Grace Halsell (1923-2000) was a distinguished American journalist, war
correspondent, author and columnist. She was the author of 13 books,
including Journey to Jerusalem and Prophecy and Politics.

Astonishing 10-Minute "MIND MEDICINE" Raises IQ 

Yes, in the next few minutes, you too could raise your IQ -- without
dangerous drugs, costly supplements or laborious mental gymnastics. All
you'll need is a special type of compact disc.

This is not some way-out alternative, but proven mainstream therapy. Its
powers have been clinically proven, with results duly recorded in the peer
reviewed scientific journal Nature. In one study, college students listened
to this astonishing secret for just 10 minutes, then took an intelligence
test. It raised their IQ scores from an "average" 110 points to an "above
average" 119 points.

Dramatically Safer CT Scan

 

Despite all we hear about the dangers of radiation in imaging tests, we
can't just stop using them -- imaging tests often yield vital information.
For instance, the cardiac CT scan used to diagnose coronary artery disease
and estimate a person's risk of having a heart attack can provide
life-saving information... but this test often is cited as an example of one
that needlessly exposes patients to excessive amounts of radiation. So it is
excellent news to hear that there are new scanning techniques that cut
radiation back -- way back, in fact, by as much as 90% for some patients! 

 

I called Troy LaBounty, MD, assistant professor of medicine in the division
of cardiology at Weill Cornell Medical College and lead author of a new
study that demonstrates how to combine a number of different
radiation-reduction techniques to achieve this dramatically safer result. My
goal was to learn how patients can be sure that they are getting the best
cardiac CT with the least possible radiation dose. 

 

New Techniques to Reduce Radiation

 

For the study, Dr. LaBounty and his team at Weill Cornell wanted to see the
effect of using four different radiation-reduction methodologies at the same
time. The researchers administered beta-blocker medications (as needed) to
slow the heart rate to less than 65 beats per minute so that images could be
acquired with fewer "snapshots"... minimized the area being scanned...
individualized radiation dosing for each patient's heart rate and body mass
index (BMI)... and took the minimum number of images that would be needed
(as opposed to "padding" the total in case some images weren't usable). 

 

Researchers were trying to ascertain whether using these radiation-reduction
methods would result in any loss of accuracy. The 81 patients in the study
agreed to have both catheter angiography (in which a thin plastic tube is
inserted into an artery through an incision, followed by injection of a
radioactive contrast dye and x-ray visualization) and a cardiac CT. They
were then divided into two groups -- for one group, doctors used their usual
standards for CT scanner settings, while for the other group they used all
of the radiation-reducing techniques mentioned above. Researchers found that
the dialed-back settings produced highly accurate CT scans, comparable to
catheter angiogram (the gold standard) -- even though they used almost 90%
less radiation in the test group!

 

If you need a CT scan

 

Dr. LaBounty told me that doctors are increasingly aware of both the need to
reduce radiation and that it can be done with these techniques -- though
using all of them together remains a somewhat novel approach. If you need a
CT scan, don't hesitate to ask your doctor whether these protective measures
will be taken and to ask the technician performing the scan what he/she is
doing to minimize radiation.

Delicious 'Wonder Drug' for High Blood Pressure Praised by Harvard
Researchers

According to recent estimates, nearly one in three American adults has high
blood pressure. But for the Kuna Indians living on a group of islands off
the Caribbean coast of Panama, hypertension doesn't even exist. In fact,
after age 60, the average blood pressure for Kuna Indian islanders is a
perfect 110/70.

So what makes these folks practically "immune" to hypertension -- and lets
them enjoy much lower death rates from heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and
cancer? 

Harvard researchers were stunned to discover it's because they drink about
five cups of cocoa each day. That's right, cocoa!

Golf Yips -- Excuse or a Neurological Problem?

 

Golfers having trouble on the greens call it "the yips" -- a vexing malady
in which you involuntarily jerk your putter before taking a shot. Even some
pros do it. Mayo Clinic research shows that as many as 25% of avid golfers
get the yips, which can add about 4.7 strokes to an affected player's
average score. Most golfers assume that yips are caused by a twitch of
performance anxiety under pressure -- colloquially known as "choking" -- but
a new study raises some questions about whether a movement disorder with
neurological roots may be to blame. 

 

Before we get into the details, however, I want to point out that the
research I am about to tell you about was funded by Allergan, manufacturer
of Botox -- which, not coincidentally, offers a potential fix for those
whose yips fall into a certain category. 

 

That said, I checked in with Charles H. Adler, MD, PhD, research leader and
professor of neurology at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, who
affirmed that one root cause for the yips does indeed seem to be
neurological. His study compared yippers and non-yippers in order to
identify which ones specifically have golfer's cramp or in medical speak, a
"focal dystonia" -- localized involuntary muscle-tightening similar to
writer's or musician's cramp. 

 

Are Yips Par for the Course?

 

The study included 50 golfers, 25 afflicted with the yips and 25 yip-free,
all matched for age, gender and ability. On an outdoor practice green, each
golfer shot 70 putts while Dr. Adler and his colleagues videotaped them and
also measured the electrical activity in the muscles of their forearms and
the joint positions of their hands and wrists. 

 

The videos demonstrated that 17 participants made visible involuntary
movements during their putts -- 15 of whom were in the yippers' group and
two who had had no previous problems with yips. When they later reviewed
muscle activity reports, Dr. Adler and his colleagues also found differences
in the hand rotation (pronation and supination) of yippers compared with
non-yippers. 

 

Dr. Adler presented these findings at the April 2010 annual meeting of the
American Academy of Neurology. 

 

Yip, Yip, Hooray -- Some Fixes!

 

As far as treatment goes, Dr. Adler told me that his team is now planning
further research to explore what might help. Specifically, they will study
oral medications and/or the use of botulinum toxin injections. Doctors
aren't treating golf yips this way -- yet -- but Botox injections are
currently being used off-label to suppress similar problems, including
muscle dystonia, spasms and contractions. 

As for those yips, there are numerous Web sites that address the
psychological root of the problem -- such as Competitive-Golfer.com (
<http://edhn.bottomlinesecrets.com/a/hBMPAEwB74VNIB8OawYNGntSSmv/dhn5>
www.competitive-golfer.com/golfyips.html). Or you can watch a video
demonstration on
<http://edhn.bottomlinesecrets.com/a/hBMPAEwB74VNIB8OawYNGntSSmv/dhn6>
GolfersMD.com (enter "yips" into the search box). It may also be a good idea
to work with either a sports psychologist or a golf pro who can help
determine whether changing your grip or using a different putter (both of
which may bring subtle shifts in how you use your muscles) might make a
difference. Meanwhile, there isn't anyone among us, golf yippers included,
who wouldn't benefit from relaxation techniques... so that, too, is worth a
try.

Drug-Free Treatment Reverses Even Bone-on-Bone Arthritis...

"Bone-on-bone" is the term doctors use for the last agonizing stage of
arthritis. Your cartilage is totally ground away. Steroids and supplements
are pointless. Alice was told her only hope was total knee replacement. Yet
thanks to a brilliant physician, she skipped the surgery and feels like new.
That's right. Alice licked "bone-on-bone" arthritis without surgery or
drugs. And she did so with astonishing speed. In fact, not long after seeing
this doctor, she left on a three-week shopping vacation -- then returned to
the doctor's office with gifts for the entire staff and pronounced herself
pain-free! What's the secret?

Dear friend, 


Throughout the world, women are victims of violence for no other reason than
that they are women. 

Women in the Democratic Republic of Congo and around the world urgently need
your help. 

 <http://convio.motherjones.com/site/R?i=RfCBQIUZo0C7B-3cYYNGMA..> Write
your legislators and urge them to lead an international push to end violence
against women. 

In eastern Congo, rape is a scourge against women that occurs with cruel
frequency. 

"My husband, children and I were in the house when the soldiers arrived.
They killed my husband... then they took me to the forest where I became
their wife for four years. During this time, they raped me as routinely as
one changes one's clothes." 

Women are attacked everywhere - in their homes, in the fields, in front of
their husbands and children - and most of the time, the perpetrators are
armed and many. 

But it doesn't have to be that way. Your representatives have the power to
speak out against this systemic violence against women, and rally support
for innovative programs that decrease acts of violence. 

 <http://convio.motherjones.com/site/R?i=RVJO2Hk1Hf_OwXSjnd995w..> You can
make sure they know the time to act is now. Write your members of Congress
right now and urge them to lead an international campaign to end violence
against women. 

Violence against women doesn't just happen in Congo. In her lifetime, one in
three women worldwide will suffer from the devastating effects of violence.
Rape during times of war, sexual trafficking and domestic violence tear
societies apart, destroying the fabric of entire communities. 

 <http://convio.motherjones.com/site/R?i=bOnc9kQibfjDK2OEHz57Yw..> Ask
Congress to change the lives of women and girls everywhere. 

Rape, domestic violence, trafficking - these should not be ways of life. And
we can ensure that they aren't. 

Thank you for your support. 

Sincerely,

Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS 

 

I am delighted to introduce John Gil as the latest member of the Future
Dawning Co-learner's List.  And to view through his eyes a totally different
perspective on President Obama than most  have. 

 

John and I met on the Transformative Media and Entertainment group on the
AOAND (Architects of a New Dawn) social network hosted by Carlos Santana and
his partner Rick Lukens.   For those of you who have not joined in the
social networking arena, strongly urge you to do so.  IMHO, the fate of the
world will not be decided via politics as known today, but will be, perhaps
"unintentionally" planned, by those who voice their positions, and make
their presence visibly known on these huge and ever-expanding avenues to the
millions of others who choose to play in these arenas.  Recall that Facebook
alone now has over 460 million members and is still growing by the hundreds
every day.

Subject: Re: Obama's Health Care Bill Is Enough to Make You Sick (RESPONSE:
John Gil)

 

I am near total disagreement with the points made in this post.  My name is
John and I am a building and interior designer.

 

To set the stage for my response, it is critical always to acknowledge ones
personal bias.  Though certainly more complex than a simple duality, the
easiest approach is to recognize those whose sense of responsibility is
measured by discernible action, versus those that acknowledge co-Creativity
including both sameness and silence.  These are not opposites and they
persist in different places along any path of manifestation.  It may be
easier to think of these as two layers of a complex matrix, the difference
being the principle of attraction at the scale of source energy versus a
reaction to symptoms near the surface of the expressed geometry and form.
Confused?  Don't be, it's an important twist on standard empirical logic. 

 

In one sense these are the same thing, simultaneously situated while from an
empirical bias, they are and must remain separate.  Co-Creation acknowledges
that, without exception, we create the hologram that we call life and
recognize that it's subjective.  Those seeking discernible results prefer to
remain entirely within the senses, separate from the object in question, and
consider control to be the visual sense and are therefore are literally
looking for differences to compare, contrast and impose linear if-then
logic.  Though this intellectual epidemic stands firm as the method behind
great achievements in the West, by definition, it must fragment and destroy
by objectifying and thereby taking the object out of it's context to know
it, control it and 'understand' it....

 

I call co-Creativity 'matching'!  It's a relationship rather than an agreed
association.  It's the difference between trusting that intention is heard
by one's genetic antennae versus the need to consume a pharmaceutical or
swing a hammer to feel confident that something has been done about a
problem.

 

Using 'matching' as the measure of President Obama's actions, he is using
the age old method of gradualism to dismantle the foundations of nearly all
corrupt financial institutions in the Western World including the Federal
Reserve, Fascist Corporations, the Insurance Industry, Wall Street and the
SEC and the Banking Industry at large.  Empiricists would agree that in the
event that some level of secrecy or conspiracy is true, that President
Barack Obama could not stand before the world and announce that certain
trusted and beloved world leaders are misusing their power and influence to
undermine the U.S. government and economy.  He must though do two things to
assure subtle movement towards his promise that his time in office will
focus upon the "Redistribution of Wealth'.  Number one, his language must
carry multiple meanings as he addresses at once the U.S. of A's citizens,
the U.S. Government, the World at large and elite financial groups in single
statements.  That's profoundly difficult.  Number two, he must decide how
long to keep the Citizens of the U.S. in the dark about his proceedings in
order to be most effective.  He cannot afterall announce his plans or his
methods given that he has to sustain this posture for five and a half years.
In essence he is tricking the tricksters, using their own methods, by
working the source energies while at once maintaining convincing images that
all remains status quo despite appearing as if little or nothing is going
on.  This is why he is being judged!  We cannot SEE what's happening and our
egos are going crazy seeking to reestablish the only control most people
allow.  There is much evidence for this that I will share elsewhere for
those whom may be interested.

 

Specifically regarding health, as with his grand scheme, he must gradually
modify the motivational structure of entire industries as well marginalize
the impact of ranking members within those industries who will forcefully
sustain a tug of war and call in the troops if required.  This begins, quite
surprisingly, with the government's use of tax money (67% funds shadow
projects - See Walter Burian and the CAFR reports - the U.S. has been
secretly Fascist since 1946 where Fascist refers to collusion between a
government and corporate big business - estimated value over $13T around the
turn of the Century).  This also points to the illegal laws established in
the 1930's whereby each citizen was made into a corporation (See you SS Card
and birth certificate and utility bills where your NAME is spelled in
Capital letters) and whose collateral has been used to fund all sorts of
exciting projects like secret technology and war efforts.  There are many
people who do not want this perpetually flowing fountain of fundage to
change and they sold their souls for access and therefore will not and
cannot turn back.  To agree is to die thereby establishing a very strong
motivation to resist.  These motivations, despite the vast majority of
humans having little idea or acceptance that it even exists, is the thing
that wars are made of and depopulation agendas.  Nevermind health, who here
among you are reading labels and know your human rights?

 

President Barack Obama has begun the process by which selfish insurance
companies will recognize that there only way  to profit is to insure
preventative healthcare.  He cannot do this all at once, obviously I hope!
He cannot suddenly introduce an alternative medical industry that will make
redundant the pharmaceutical industry.  Further, alternative medicine
requires an emotional paradigm shift from a generation of people who wants
their pills!   Imagine the outcry if he claimed that there has been a cure
for cancer since the early 1930's using inaudible frequencies (Royal Raymond
Rife accomplished this) and that this technology will be replacing
pharmaceuticals!  Civil war would result.   He has though modified the terms
through which the prevailing mechanical paradigm can be slowly phased out.

 

I consider myself highly informed about alternative medicine.  I have
investigated Dr. Hunt's allegations and briefly spoken with her only to
discover that she is on a close minded mission.   That is not to say that
her work has no value.  Far from it.  Along with the incredible Dr. Rosalyn
Bruyere, these two were the first to verify the human energy field in a
laboratory setting at UCLA in the 1970's.  Their paths since that time are
remarkable different.  Dr. Hunt's Aurameter though will sadly not succeed!
My confidence about this statement is derived from the fact that any
technology that seeks to quantify integrated data must, as stated above,
destroy the host sample in order to prove to the senses that it is correct.
Another way we refer to alternative medicine is mind / body medicine or
holistic medicine.  These words appeal to the co-Creative paradigm, the
first acknowledging that mind and body are one, and the latter acknowledging
that effective healing must sustain the host intact and whole and in context
to be effective.  This is also true of the way we are thinking, approaching
and judging solutions, and the subtleties as well the paradox of language
that does not always allow for what our mind intuitively understands.
Association seeks a symmetrical or an asymmetrical relationship between
thought and artifact, word and object, letter and sound etc., while matching
allows different scales of being to consciously co-exist at once.

 

Lastly, any effort aspiring to change is difficult.  Think of painting the
wall in your home. What color?  Do we need primer?  How many coats?  What is
the best paint to choose?  Do we need an interior designer?  Does the color
go with both the furniture and the curtains?  Does the color relate to the
activities that will occur in this room?  Is the vibrational frequency of
the color tone in harmony with the inhabitants of this house?  On and on.
Let's extend that to your neighborhood council, or the City of Los Angeles
or Planet Earth.  That wall would likely never get painted unless a system
was put in place enabling change and a hierarchical structure in direct
opposition to holistic anythingness!  Yet..........President Barack Obama is
accomplishing this boys and girls and not just the wall, but a wholesale
paradigm shift that yet still requires a individual choices, but nonetheless
is emerging faster than the speed of light.  He certainly has assistance
though he certainly would benefit from our support too!  It is of critical
importance that we change the scale of our attentiveness, reset priorities
and acknowledge that fast and forceful is no longer relevant on this planet
despite the many who will carry on that way for a bit longer.  The wall he
is painting relies on a well timed demolition and generally the old house
does not look too good when the shingles are removed and the interior walls
are knocked down.  The wall is not there as yet to paint yet we scream and
insult and judge and defame and miss the point that we are referring to
ourselves when doing so.   Moreover, there are some people still inside the
house who will literally be caught with their pants down.  That's how you
expose the bad guys...not by announcing it on the network news.  It's a
reality show you are not gonna want to miss.  I figure it will air around
October of 2012.

 

Have a look at this short video if you will.  If your worldview doesn't
change in the next five minutes, it is likely true that you are the problem
that you are looking for.
http://www.flixxy.com/hubble-ultra-deep-field-3d.htm

 

Stay positive no matter what.  We are writing our own story.  The details
don't matter if the paradigm is irrelevant.

Thanks to Trading Post Paul for this one.

 

I've commented on this previously, but am coming back to it since I feel it
is a very high priority item.

 

 

The Health Care Bill will not and never was designed to take care of what
ails us. What it is designed for is to make more money for the health care
industry with an emphasis on the insurance companies involved.

 

The answer lays in using well researched modalities of alternative healing
to bring relief to those now suffering from dis-ease, coupled with
preventive measures which boost the immune system and stop disease prior to
its entry into the soft tissue of the body.

 

For greater understanding of this, i am recommending two books: "Infinite
Mind - The Science of the Human Vibrations of Consciousness" by Dr. Valerie
V. Hunt, Ph.D., Ph.D. & a new book: "The Healing Code - 6 Minutes to Heal
the Source of Any Health, Success, or Relationship Issues" by Alex Loyd,
Ph.D.,ND and Ben Johnson, MD, DO, NMD.

 

While we have discussed Infinite Mind quite a bit, i have not written
anything about The Healing Code because it was published just this year, and
i received a copy of it only about three weeks ago. I have been using it
since then with what i feel to be remarkable results regarding some
emotional issues i have been dealing with recently, although the real tests
would be with regard to a major disease in the body. However, the
testimonials included with the book reveal astounding results. As well, the
co-author, Dr. Ben Johnson, joined Dr. Loyd in his research and practice
after healing himself from Lou Gehrig disease, something that had previously
never been done.

 

So, this is a healing modality, generally referred to as "energy healing"
that needs to be considered very seriously. And, as the authors write: no
one has ever been injured by using the modality recommended which is
designed to heal by removing stress from the body/mind field, and, in
particular from the immune system.

 

As we explore in greater depth, Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS, I will be
bringing more information on this to light as we learn just how powerful the
human mind is and how we may more effectively manage this power.


 

 

 

Obama's Health Care Bill Is Enough to Make You Sick Published on Monday,
July 12, 2010 by TruthDig.com by Chris Hedges
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/obamas_health_care_bill_is_enough_to_mak

e_you_sick_20100712/

   A close reading of the new health care legislation, which will
conveniently take effect in 2014 after the next presidential election, is
deeply depressing. The legislation not only mocks the lofty promises made by
President Barack Obama, exposing most as lies, but sadly reconfirms that our
nation is hostage to unchecked corporate greed and abuse. The simple truth,
that single-payer nonprofit health care for all Americans would dramatically
reduce costs and save lives, that the for-profit health care system is the
problem and must be destroyed, is censored out of the public debate by a
media that relies on these corporations as major advertisers and sponsors,
as well as a morally bankrupt Democratic Party that is as bought off by
corporations as the Republicans.

   The 2,000-page piece of legislation, according to figures compiled by
Physicians for a National Health Plan (PNHP), will leave at least 23 million
people without insurance, a figure that translates into an estimated 23,000
unnecessary deaths a year among people who cannot afford care. It will
permit prices to climb so that many of us will soon be paying close to 10
percent of our annual income to buy commercial health insurance, although
this coverage will only pay for about 70 percent of our medical expenses.
Those who become seriously ill, lose their incomes and cannot pay
skyrocketing premiums will be denied coverage. And at least $447 billion in
taxpayer subsidies will now be handed to insurance firms. We will be forced
by law to buy their defective products. There is no check in the new
legislation to halt rising health care costs. The elderly can be charged
three times the rates provided to the young. Companies with predominantly
female work forces can be charged higher gender-based rates.

The dizzying array of technical loopholes in the bill-written in by armies
of insurance and pharmaceutical lobbyists-means that these companies, which
profit off human sickness, suffering and death, can continue their grim game
of trading away human life for money.

   "They named this legislation the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act, and as the tradition of this nation goes, any words they put into the
name of a piece of legislation means the opposite," said single-payer
activist Dr. Margaret Flowers when I heard her and Helen Redmond dissect the
legislation in Chicago at the Socialism 2010 Conference last month. "It
neither protects patients nor leads to affordable care."

The Course of Bipolar Disorder Over Time


For most people with bipolar disorder, strict adherence to medications is
necessary to help keep episodes to a minimum.


By  <http://www.everydayhealth.com/contributing-writers-and-editors.aspx>
Krisha McCoy, MS

Medically reviewed by
<http://www.everydayhealth.com/medical-reviewers.aspx> Kevin O. Hwang, MD,
MPH

If you have
<http://www.everydayhealth.com/emotional-health/bipolar/index.aspx> bipolar
disorder, you may be wondering what the future will bring. Will your
<http://www.everydayhealth.com/bipolar-disorder/bipolar-symptoms.aspx>
bipolar symptoms get worse or can this disorder go away? What happens if you
stop taking your medications or seeing your psychiatrist?

Bipolar disorder over time.

Bipolar Disorder: Treatment Over Time

"Having bipolar disorder is very different than having a blood pressure
problem or diabetes," says Gary Sachs, MD, founder and director of the
Bipolar Clinic and Research Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, and
associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School in Boston.

Dr. Sachs says that unlike other illnesses, in which patients accept the
fact that they need to take medicine to control their disease, people with
bipolar disorder often refuse to take their medications - an issue called
treatment compliance. These patients often have trouble perceiving that they
have a problem, even during a bipolar episode (a condition known as
<http://www.everydayhealth.com/bipolar-disorder/bipolar-disorder-and-anosogn
osia.aspx> anosognosia, and therefore don't believe they need treatment.

Avoiding treatment, however, is the worst thing you can do with bipolar
disorder. Why? Because bipolar disorder tends to get worse if it's not
treated. So to improve your prognosis - your future with this condition -
you need to follow your doctor's prescribed treatments.

Bipolar Disorder: The Timeline

Bipolar symptoms usually appear during the late adolescent years, but they
can emerge at any time from early childhood to your 50s. For a very few
people diagnosed with bipolar disorder, symptoms will improve with
medication to the point that medications will no longer be necessary.

But most people won't be that lucky, since it is typical for manic and
depressive episodes to recur later on.

"If you have a single episode of mania, the chances that you are going to
have another one over your lifetime is virtually 100 percent," says Sachs.

And there is a good chance that your manic and depressive episodes will
become more frequent and severe over time. According to Sachs, most people
can also expect more depressive episodes and fewer manic ones. "You will
have fewer highs and more depression," he says. Your illness may even
progress to what is called rapid-cycling bipolar disorder, which is when you
have four or more episodes a year.

And, Sach adds, "If you've had several [bipolar] episodes, there is probably
a 60 to 80 percent chance that you will have one episode every year if
untreated." But with treatment, you can probably cut your risk of having an
episode by half.

Bipolar Disorder: Remission

Most people who have bipolar disorder will have normal moods in between
their manic and depressive episodes. However, in almost every case, bipolar
disorder is a lifelong illness requiring treatment.

While there is no cure for bipolar disorder, there is every reason to
believe that with proper treatment, you will get better. Proper treatment
means taking all your medications and attending
<http://www.everydayhealth.com/bipolar-disorder/bipolar-disorder-treatments/
therapy.aspx> therapy sessions as recommended by your doctor. It is
important to take the bipolar medications even between episodes of
depression or mania. Consistency in taking the medications can stabilize
your
<http://www.everydayhealth.com/bipolar-disorder/bipolar-disorder-mood-swings
.aspx> mood swings.

By learning to recognize the early signs of a manic or depressive episode,
you will be empowered to take control of your bipolar disorder and deal with
your symptoms before they become a full-blown episode.

What To Do


http://inteldaily.com/2010/07/economic-collapse-3/


 


 <http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/what-to-do/preparedness>
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Preparedness-3
00x300.jpgToday, more Americans than ever are absolutely convinced that we
are headed for an economic collapse.  After all, it doesn't take an advanced
degree in economics to understand that American consumers, American
businesses, local governments, state governments and the U.S. federal
government are all drowning in debt.  It would be hard enough to deal with
all of this debt during good economic times, but these are not good economic
times.  In fact, right now the U.S. economy is being pounded
<http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/what-do-you-believe-is-americas
-biggest-economic-problem> by an unprecedented number of economic problems.
Tens of millions of Americans are unemployed or underemployed, 40 million
Americans are on food stamps, the
<http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-coming-u-s-real-estate-cras
h> U.S. real estate crash continues to get worse, and the ongoing oil spill
in the Gulf of Mexico threatens to drag that entire region, and perhaps all
of the United States, into a devastating economic depression.  So these days
it is fairly easy to convince Americans that really hard economic times are
coming.  But now an increasingly large number of people have a new question.
They want to know what to do about all of this.  In fact, probably the
biggest group of questions I receive from readers is regarding what to do in
order to prepare for the economic collapse that is coming.   People are
tired of just talking about all of these problems and they want an action
plan. 

So what is the answer?

What should people do about this coming economic collapse?

Well, when I attended law school I was taught that there is a two word
answer to almost any question that someone can ask about the law....

It depends.

And while there are some fundamental principles which we should all follow
in getting prepared for the coming economic crisis (which I will share
below), the truth is that each and every person has very different
circumstances that they are facing, so when someone asks what they should do
I give them that same answer....

It depends.

If you have a family you are going to prepare much differently than if you
are single.

If you live along the coast you are going to prepare much differently than
if you live in the mountains or in the city.

If you are wealthy you are going to prepare much differently from someone
who only possesses limited resources.

If you are dependent on a job you are going to prepare much differently from
someone who is self-employed.

If you live on a farm you are going to prepare much differently from someone
who lives in an apartment building and has never even grown a garden.

The truth is that there are a ton of variables and there just is not a "one
size fits all" answer.

However, there are some fundamental principles that we should all be
following as we prepare for the coming economic collapse....

Get Out Of Debt

It is always, always, always a good idea to get out of debt, but this is
particularly true during a time of economic crisis.  During an economic
collapse, it will be very difficult to get work, money will be tight, and
the last thing you will want to be doing is to be making monthly payments on
some debt that you accumulated five years ago.  The reality is that when we
borrow money we become a servant, and debt
<http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-number-one-tool-of-financia
l-enslavement> is a very cruel master. 

You especially want to get rid of debt that is at high interest rates (such
as credit card debt).  There are very few things that are as good at
bleeding your finances as credit card debt is.  For example, according to
<http://www.federalreserve.gov/creditcardcalculator/Default.aspx> the credit
card repayment calculator, if you have a $6000 balance on a credit card with
a 20 percent interest rate and only pay the minimum payment each time, it
will take you 54 years to pay off that credit card.

During those 54 years you will pay $26,168 in interest rate charges on that
credit card balance in addition to the $6000 in principal that you are
required to pay back.  That is before any fees or penalties are even
calculated.

Can you see how financially debilitating that can be?

The truth is that if you haven't already started, now is the time to develop
a plan for how to  <http://thehowtogetoutofdebtplan.com/> get out of debt.
Paying off debt can be very painful, but it will put you in a much, much
better position to weather the financial storms that are ahead.

Reduce Your Expenses

Along the same lines, it is a very good idea to start reducing your expenses
right now.  The truth is that you cannot be sure that you will always have
the same job or the same level of income.  Times are going to be very tight
in the future.  Now is the time to start the belt tightening.

Yes, the truth is that the cost of everything seems to be going up these
days, and most American families are already finding it increasingly
difficult to get by each month.

But if your household is spending $5000 a month right now, are there ways
that you could get that down to $4000 or maybe even $3000? 

If we all start learning to live with less right now, it will be much easier
to do when times really get hard.

Increase Your Income

Yes, this is much easier said than done.  Especially considering the fact
that it seems  <http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/no-jobs> like
there are hardly any jobs out there right now.

But the truth is that we are all going to have to work a lot harder and
become a lot less dependent on employers.

It is going to become increasingly difficult to get good jobs in the months
and years ahead.  The big global corporations are figuring out that they
really don't need us after all.  In many ways, it is much easier for them to
hire a workforce from the other side of the world.

So where does that leave us?

Well, fortunately there are still a lot of ways to make money in America.
How long that will last is uncertain, but for now we should work while the
working is good.  We are all going to have to start becoming a lot more
entrepreneurial.

Nobody is going to hand you anything in this life.  If you just settle for
your job ("just over broke") you aren't going to get too far in today's
world.

Many people start developing an extra income during their spare time in the
evenings after work.  Yes, that would mean that you would have less time to
sit on the couch and watch people talk about who LeBron James is going to
play basketball for, but did you think that we were going to be able to get
through this without making sacrifices?

Now is the time to rise up off the sofa and figure out how to make some more
money.  There is still a little more time to get prepared.  If you keep
putting off what you know needs to be done, eventually it will be too late.

In addition, learning to do things like growing a garden is another way of
"increasing" your income.  All of the fruit and vegetables that you grow
will mean that you won't have to spend as much at the grocery store.

Stock Up On Essentials

There are tons of supplies still in the stores, and prices are still
relatively low right now (especially compared to what they will be in the
future).  So it is time to stock up on essentials while the getting is good.

In a previous article entitled
<http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/20-things-you-will-need-to-surv
ive-when-the-economy-collapses-and-the-next-great-depression-begins> "20
Things You Will Need To Survive When The Economy Collapses And The Next
Great Depression Begins", we listed 20 of the things that you will need in
the event of a major disaster, an emergency or an economic collapse.  These
are the things that you are going to want to make sure that you have ready
right now, because after the crisis begins it may be too late to prepare....

#1) Storable Food

#2) Clean Water

#3) Shelter

#4) Warm Clothing

#5) An Axe

#6) Lighters Or Matches

#7) Hiking Boots Or Comfortable Shoes

#8) A Flashlight And/Or Lantern

#9) A Radio

#10) Communication Equipment

#11) A Swiss Army Knife

#12) Personal Hygiene Items

#13) A First Aid Kit And Other Medical Supplies

#14) Extra Gasoline (But Be Very Careful How You Store It)

#15) A Sewing Kit

#16) Self-Defense Equipment

#17) A Compass

#18) A Hiking Backpack

#19) A Community

#20) A Backup Plan

In the comments to that article, our readers suggested the following
additional items....

A K-Bar Fighting Knife

Salt

Extra Batteries

Medicine

A Camp Stove

Propane

Pet Food

Heirloom Seeds

Tools

An LED Headlamp

Candles

Clorox

Calcium Hypochlorite

Ziplock Bags

Maps Of Your Area

Binoculars

Sleeping Bags

Rifle For Hunting

Extra Socks

Gloves

Gold And Silver Coins For Bartering

Of course there are probably many more items you could put on the list.

The point is to get educated, get informed and start getting prepared.

When things get really hard, that brand new pool table isn't going to do you
much good, but having a good supply of food and clean water will make all
the difference.

Not that things are going to totally fall apart overnight.  It is going to
be a process.

But you don't start preparing when the storm is already on top of you. 

Most of us know what is coming.

Now we need to start taking action. 

This is how Americans got through the Great Depression of the 1930s - they
tightened their belts, they were resourceful, and they did whatever they
needed to do to provide for their families.

Now it is our turn.  Sure some people will laugh as many of us adjust our
lifestyles in preparation for hard economic times, but it is those same
people who will come knocking on your door when the rain does start pouring.

The Small Business Dodge


http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2010/07/small-business-dodge


- By  <http://motherjones.com/authors/kevin-drum> Kevin Drum

| Fri Jul. 16, 2010 3:00 AM PDT

Back in the day, one of the key Republican arguments against the estate tax
was that it forced hardworking, salt-of-the-earth children of small farmers
to sell the family plot in order to pay their taxes after dad died. It was a
sad story, but with one problem: no one could find
<http://www.commondreams.org/headlines01/0408-02.htm> even a single small
farmer who had been forced to liquidate in order to satisfy Uncle Sam's
voracious law. Even the American Farm Bureau Federation was eventually
forced to admit that it couldn't come up with a single example, and a few
years later the
<http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/65xx/doc6512/07-06-EstateTax.pdf> Congressional
Budget Office estimated that under the now-current exemption level, only a
tiny handful of small farms were likely to owe any estate tax to begin with
- and of those, only about a dozen lacked the assets to pay their taxes. And
even those dozen had 14 years to pay the bill as long the kids kept running
the farm. In other words, the story was a fraud from beginning to end.

Good times. Today, though, we're getting a rerun. The subject at hand is the
Bush tax cuts, and the question is who exactly will get hurt if we go ahead
and keep the cuts intact for middle income earners but let them expire for
the rich. The obvious answer is, "the rich," but it turns out that, just as
there are small farmers begging for our sympathy, there are small rich too:
namely an alleged army of hardworking, salt-of-the-earth
http://www.motherjones.com/files/images/Blog_Small_Business_Tax_Cuts.jpgsmal
l business owners who would also end up paying higher tax rates. "To those
who are pushing the higher marginal rates,"
<http://finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/071410cg.pdf> thundered Sen. Chuck
Grassley (R-Iowa) earlier this week, "I say the burden is on you to show
that you are not harming our primary job creators, small business."

OK then. Let's show it. Step 1: The Brookings Tax Policy Center estimates
that  <http://www.cbpp.org/files/8-29-08tax.pdf> only 1.9% of small
businesses are in the two top brackets that would be affected. That's a
little better than the dozen small farms affected by the estate tax, but not
by much.

Step 2: About half of that 1.9% aren't really small business owners at all.
They're high-income investors who get part of their income from investments
in small businesses. So we're down to about 1% of small businesses that
would be affected.

Step 3: The top brackets are just that: brackets. When the top rate goes up,
it doesn't affect your entire income, just the portion in the top bracket.
So if the top rate goes back up from 35% to 39.6%, it only affects the
portion of income above approximately $400,000. A small business owner
making $500,000 would see an increase of about $5,000. This is a fairly
modest amount for someone making a half million dollars, and anything higher
than that is hardly a "small" business to begin with. And the marginal
effect is even smaller for the second highest bracket.

Step 4: The Office of Management and Budget estimates that
<http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2011/assets/receipts.pdf> the
10-year cost of these upper-income tax cuts is $678 billion, the vast
majority of which hits wealthy individuals, not small businesses no matter
how you define them. That's a fair chunk of change for anyone concerned
about the deficit.

So that's the case. Letting Bush's tax cuts for the rich expire affects only
a tiny number of small businesses; it doesn't affect them very much; and it
generates revenues of $678 billion. If the only thing you care about is
keeping taxes low for rich people, you won't be convinced. For the rest of
us, it's a no-brainer.

Financial Reform Passes, But What Does That Mean?
John Nichols July 15, 2010 
http://www.thenation.com/blog/37541/financial-reform-passes-what-does-mean
   
The Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010 promises: "to
promote the financial stability of the United States by improving
accountability and transparency in the financial system, to end "too big to
fail", to protect the American taxpayer by ending bailouts, to protect
consumers from abusive financial services practices, and for other
purposes."

But will it do that?

The 60 senators who backed the bill say it will -- with varying degrees of
certainty and enthusiasm.

Here's Oregon's Jeff Merkley, one of the best players in the chamber on
regulatory issues:

"Today the Senate sent a clear message that the financial security of
families and businesses on Main Street must always come before the
short-term profits of Wall Street.  For decades, we let rampant
deregulation and deceptive lending practices undermine families'
well-being, poison our financial system and ultimately bring the economy to
its knees.  This bill will help restore safety and soundness to our
financial system and ensure that working families get a fair deal in their
everyday financial transactions. 

"I am pleased that the final bill includes the Merkley-Levin amendment
that will ban high-risk trading inside the banks and put an end to
conflicts of interest, where giants like Goldman Sachs bet against the very
securities they were selling to their customers.  This provision will
encourage banks to return to the days where their main focus was lending.
I can't thank Senator Carl Levin enough for his tireless work to ensure
that our banks won't engage in high-risk trading and put our entire
financial system at risk.

"In addition, I'm pleased that the bill includes provisions I
championed to end some of the most egregious mortgage practices that led to
the housing crisis and cost millions of families their homes.  The bill
will ban steering payments, liar loans, and prepayment penalties and give
Americans the transparency they deserve when purchasing their own home.
It will also create a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau dedicated to
protecting consumers from financial tricks and traps, such as unfair
overdraft fees and exploding interest rates.  

"Now, this bill will not solve every problem in our financial system, and
from my perspective, could be stronger in significant ways.  Regulators
have been given an enormous amount of responsibility to implement the bill
as intended.  In order to ensure that they hold up their end of the
bargain, Congress needs to conduct vigorous oversight of government
regulators and our financial markets.

"Overall, this bill sets our nation on the right path.  There is more
work to do to fix the failures of the past, but this bill lays the
groundwork for a stronger and more stable economy and levels the playing
field for our working families and small businesses on Main Street.  I
commend Senate Banking Chairman Chris Dodd for his dedication to getting
this bill passed and restoring fairness for middle class families across
America."

Merkley  joined 55 Democrats, two independents (Vermont's Bernie Sanders
and Connecticut's Joe Lieberman) and three Republicans (Massachusetts'
Scott Brown and Mainers Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe) in voting "yes."

Sanders offered a nuanced take on the measure, when went through the
legislative wringer before emerging in final compromise -- and compromised
-- form. The Vermonter called the overall legislation a "positive step
forward" but said that much more must be done -- in the words of a
statement released by his office -- "to end the greed and recklessness by
the Wall Street financiers responsible for the worst economic collapse
since the 1930s."

Sanders complained that:

* The bill does not breaking up banks deemed "too big to fail."
Incredibly, three of the four biggest banks in the country are larger today
than they were before taxpayers bailed them out.

* The bill also fails to impose a cap on runaway credit card interest
rates. Senators rejected an even more modest proposal to let states enforce
their own usury laws.

On the plus said, says Sanders' statement, "the bill lifts the veil of
secrecy at the clandestine Federal Reserve." In particular, the senator's
statement says: "The legislation directs the Government Accountability
Office to review all emergency actions by the central bank since the start
of the financial crisis in 2007. The non-partisan research arm of Congress
also will investigate apparent conflicts of interest involving the Fed and
CEOs of the largest financial institutions in the country. The measure also
makes the central bank divulge the identities of banks and other financial
institutions that took more than $2 trillion in nearly zero-interest loans
or loan guarantees."

Voting "no" were 38 Republicans and one Democrat in voting "no."

The Democrat, Wisconsin's Russ Feingold, may well be the Senate's steadiest
critic of Wall Street and the big banks.

So why was he a "no"?

"At the outset of the debate over the financial regulatory reform bill, I
made clear that my test for this bill would be whether it prevents another
economic crisis," explained Feingold. "Unfortunately, this bill falls
short. The reckless practices of Wall Street sent our economy reeling,
triggered the worst recession since the Great Depression, and left millions
of Americans to foot the bill.  Despite these cataclysmic events,
Washington once again caved to Wall Street on key issues and produced a
bill that fails to protect the American people from the pain of another
economic disaster.  I will not support a bill that fails to adequately
protect the people of Wisconsin from the recklessness of Wall Street."

So who is right? There is truth to be found in all of what Merkley,
Sanders, Feingold and other honest players are saying. Ultimately, Feingold
is right that the measure does not adequately protect against the
recklessness of Wall Street. It provides some tools for beginning to
address the worst abuses, however. So let's give agree with Sanders, who is
spot on when he says "much more" must be done.

And who will do it? Bet on Merkley, Sanders, Feingold -- and a few other
honest players, such as Ohio's Sherrod Brown -- do be in the forefront of
the fight. And it will be a fight.

The Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010 cannot be the last
word when it comes to addressing the sins of Wall Street and the big banks.
Because if it is then Feingold will surely be right when he warns that  the
American people from will not be spared "the pain of another economic
disaster."

Gabriel Cousens, owner of Tree of Life, is the author of the brilliant,
Consious Eating, and other books you may know. He qualifies as both a
medical doctor, as well as an accomplished, respected holistic health
practicioner. That's why I am taking notice and acting on this. Please take
the time to check out the link and read the bill's description. Responding
to our elected officials takes but a few minutes.

Thanks for your interest.

Congress Bill S 510

What's Coming



(snip) 




The Most Dangerous Bill in the History of the U.S.?

A most dire bill is up before the U.S. Senate currently. 

We are calling you to respond to this with the force of your intentions and
actions. S 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010, may be the most
dangerous bill in the history of the US. 

According to Dr. Shiv Chopra, "If accepted [S 510] would preclude the
public's right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and
every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority
against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural
products of one's choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to
natural law or, if you like, the will of God." 

It is similar to what India faced with imposition of the salt tax during
British rule, only S 510 extends control over all food in the US, violating
the fundamental human right to food."

Please write your State Senators today by clicking here.

Alert for Homeowners Facing U.D. Eviction 
Are you a victim of mortgage lending fraud or creditor debt collection
abuse? 

FORENSIC FORECLOSURE INVESTIGATIONS* have revealed that in many cases. A
predatory creditor illegally transfers the homeowners property for sale
while they are disputing their debt, are waiting for a loan modification, or
for an approval of a qualified short sale or other verified purchase offer,
or sometimes even during the homeowner's bankruptcy, and then often the
creditor inappropriately purports to purchase its own sale at sale at
auction on a credit bid, or sells the house without notification or warning
at a price substantially below market value, and then the unsuspecting
homeowner is suddenly slammed by a wrongful eviction, before they can even
figure out what has happened. 
In all the above cases the sale is not qualified under State of California
law and the sale may be considered voidable under 1695.14 (a) (b) (c) and
may be rescinded and therefore eligible for a judicial a voiding of the
sale, if the rescission process is completed before the end of December
2010.
If you are a victim of predatory lending whose home has been at auction, and
you are being wrongfully evicted you can still ENFORCE YOUR RIGHTS, by
recording a Qualified Rescission of the Trustee's Deed Upon Sale, at the
County Recorders Office. 
Then you should send a copy of the recorded document successors in interest,
(if any) including a demand for reconveyance of your title in 20 days by
return receipt mail, to the "equity Purchaser" claiming right of possession
to your home. This act may provide a basis for a judicial recovery of your
title.

Cal Civ Code ? 1695 (2009)

? 1695. Legislative findings and declarations; Intent and purposes of
chapter

(a) The Legislature finds and declares that homeowners whose residences are
in foreclosure have been subjected to fraud, deception, and unfair dealing
by home equity purchasers. The recent rapid escalation of home values,
particularly in the urban areas, has resulted in a significant increase in
home equities which are usually the greatest financial asset held by the
homeowners of this state. During the time period between the commencement of
foreclosure proceedings and the scheduled foreclosure sale date, homeowners
in financial distress, especially the poor, elderly, and financially
unsophisticated, are vulnerable to the importunities of equity purchasers
who induce homeowners to sell their homes for a small fraction of their fair
market values through the use of schemes which often involve oral and
written misrepresentations, deceit, intimidation, and other unreasonable
commercial practices.

(b) The Legislature declares that it is the express policy of the state to
preserve and guard the precious asset of home equity, and the social as well
as the economic value of homeownership.

(c) The Legislature further finds that equity purchasers have a significant
impact upon the economy and well-being of this state and its local
communities, and therefore the provisions of this chapter are necessary to
promote the public welfare.

(d) The intent and purposes of this chapter are the following:

(1) To provide each homeowner with information necessary to make an informed
and intelligent decision regarding the sale of his or her home to an equity
purchaser; to require that the sales agreement be expressed in writing; to
safeguard the public against deceit and financial hardship; to insure,
foster, and encourage fair dealing in the sale and purchase of homes in
foreclosure; to prohibit representations that tend to mislead; to prohibit
or restrict unfair contract terms; to afford homeowners a reasonable and
meaningful opportunity to rescind sales to equity purchasers; and to
preserve and protect home equities for the homeowners of this state.

(2) This chapter shall be liberally construed to effectuate this intent and
to achieve these purposes.

How to Demand a Jury Trial in Eviction 
In the State of California we have the right to a jury trial in U.D.
Evictions. 
Both the landlord (bank) and the tenant (homeowners facing forclosure
eviction) have a right to a jury trial. 
The side that wants the jury trial must file and serve to all parties a
Notice of Jury Fee deposit, and proof the document was served to all parties
and pay the court $150 for jury fees when the Notice of Jury Fee Deposit is
filed. 

If the tenant wants to have a jury trial and the landlord didn't ask for
one, the tenant has to file and serve the landlord with a Counter-Request.
(form UD-150) or file a pleading entitled Demand for a Jury Trial.(form
available in NOLO tenant's rights book in the law library) 
The procedures vary in different counties, and other States, so if you want
a jury trial make certain you know what the next step is in your county. (
ask in the law library)In some counties, there is mandatory settlement
meeting before a jury trial. Also, with a jury trial, you will need to
timely file other forms like jury instructions, and jury questions and
verdict forms. Ask legal aid, self help center, or your local law library
for samples of these documents. Try following this link for legal help;

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS 

 

As we all know, the human body and everything else in the Universe is a
subtly vibrating energy field.  This is the focus of research at the
Institute of HeartMath.  And the Global Coherence Initiative is a project of
the Institute.  What the Institute is doing is bringing people together to
direct focused meditation as a means of bringing about coherent energy field
patterns around the world.  The Institute is then able to monitor changes in
the earth's energetic fields to determine changes brought about by these
focused meditations and as well to monitor behavioral changes in the areas
of focus.  For instance crime rates in certain cities have been reduced
using focused meditation as a methodology.     

 

So, what I want to do at this time is to bring the work of the Institute of
HeartMath into awareness on the TransitionUS network as well as to the
Co-learner's group here.  And, I hope that all of you will take note of this
and join the Global  Coherence Initiative in bringing about coherence
patterns around the world so we truly become a "world at peace."   

 

What we are doing in this way is far more powerful than is the use of guns
and other weapons.  

 

Now here is the message I just received from my dear friend, Bruce Cryer.  

 

May we all be the change we wish to see in our lives.  

 

mr

Subject: GCI CELEBRATES ITS 2ND ANNIVERSARY!

Greetings GCI member, 

It's the Global Coherence Initiative's 2nd birthday! That's right, two years
ago we launched GCI and many, many wonderful things have taken place since. 

Today we have over 25,000 members from all over the world-84 countries to
date have members. The more committed members we have, practicing coherence
and joining together in a co-creative process, the more we can do to
facilitate the obvious Shift taking place throughout the planet. Here is
something we invite you to do to celebrate this anniversary and help bring
more people into GCI. 

Go to the Tell a Friend button on the GCI Website (
<http://www.facebook.com/l/ba893-HS33RN94FAwGrFMOaodXw;glcoherence.org>
http://www.facebook.com/l/ba893-HS33RN94FAwGrFMOaodXw;glcoherence.org) which
can be found on the right-hand side of most any page. Just click on it and
you will then find a simple format for sending messages to others about GCI.
We invite you to send a message to one or more people simply asking them to
check out the GCI Website and join with you and over 25,000 others, if they
would like. If every GCI member does this (it only takes a minute) we can
increase our membership and therefore increase our effectiveness
significantly. 

Now on to some new exciting news. 

The data transfer system that we've been working on for a long time is
finally ready to connect multiple GCI Monitoring System Sites. Many thanks
to the engineering team who worked so hard on this. We will be deploying two
new sites at locations in other parts of the world this fall (we will let
you know the locations once they are installed), giving us a total of three
functional sites all connected to GCI's server at the Institute of HeartMath
research center. This is an important and exciting step toward being able to
observe changes in the earth's energetic fields. 

We are developing a new version of the Global Care Room. We will be using a
Google Earth globe as well as making other changes that will make it easier
for people to log in and for many thousands of people to be in the Global
Care Room simultaneously! 

Many of you participated in the "Inner-Connectedness Study" and we sincerely
thank you for that. A significant amount of valuable data was collected and
GCI scientists are in the process of completing a detailed analysis of the
information collected. A report on their findings will be released soon. 

Your donations have been critically helpful to us. They enabled us to
complete the data transfer system, prepare for launching two new sites,
conduct the "Inner-Connectedness Study", and more. We encourage you to
continue to facilitate this ongoing initiative. If you could commit to
donating just $1 a month it would be much appreciated and would help
accelerate the GCI mission.

http://www.facebook.com/l/ba893-HS33RN94FAwGrFMOaodXw;glcoherence.org 

To commemorate GCI's anniversary, we have an important event that we invite
you to participate in if you can. On July 28th we will be doing a thirty
minute Anniversary Care Focus Webinar to join together as a community to
appreciate our collective efforts and to send heart-focused care to humanity
and to our planet. You will receive a message about this event soon which
will include more about the purpose/theme, exact times and the presenters. 

So, from our hearts to you - thank you. We've had two great years with many
more to come. Your participation is so much appreciated. 

With Care,

Subject: [GJM] Effects of the Environment on Bipolar Disorder
Message-ID: <007a01cb25e4$a01b3560$e051a020$@net>

Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS 

 

It seems to me that the best question to ask here is:  Can the environment
we live in cause Bipolar Disorder?  And when I am talking about environment,
I am talking about our social systems which make up a large part of our
environment and BPD being a "social disorder" brought about by the
dissociation from our natural systems which were inherent at the beginning
of our social evolution. However, as I have written many times before, the
emergent qualities, many of which serve to give us more power in the world
against the forces of nature, have tended to suppress the natural qualities
which provided us with soul. This suppression of the feminine has cost us
dearly in terms of health and well-being.  

 

Perhaps it is time to do away with the all male God and consider both Father
Sun and Mother Earth as our parents. And, from that point of view, integrate
both sides of the brain into the whole and entrain it with the heart brain
so as to produce the "body/mind" connection or what is often referred to as
the "holographic" brain which is all-knowing and all-seeing.                

 

 

Effects of the Environment on Bipolar Disorder

 

By John M. Grohol, Psy.D.

 

http://www.everydayhealth.com/blogs/livingintodayssocietywithbopolardisorder
/effects-fo-the-enviroment-on-bipolar-disorder

 

I had an interesting conversation today about what causes a mental disorder
or where does it come from, specifically bipolar disorder. My view is that
all of us are born with a brain that mechanically works differently than
others, being bipolar or having other conditions like ADD may be natural,
God given gifts and it's our society that creates this atmosphere where it
becomes the disorder. 

I spent some time in Uganda, Africa and society is a lot different there.
There isn't the pressure to fit into a mould and success isn't measured by
the same standards as we have in our society. I saw people flourish in this
environment and not have to struggle through life trying to figure out who
they are. What I learnt is to find my own talents and improve on them, not
fight against them. I often heard as a kid, 'You can do anything you want
to'. No I can't and I really shouldn't try unless I have the burning passion
and/or talent needed.

Coming back to my conversation with my friend. He felt that all of us are
born with this difference in our brain, normally called a chemical
unbalance, and if we were placed in any environment from A-Z we would still
feel and act the same way as we do now.

The evidence in studies show that nutrition and the home, work or other
environments affect a person with bipolar disorder greatly and suggests that
one's genes play a part. It is recommended that 

someone with a mental disorder should have a stable, low stress and
scheduled environment. There is a lot of data that refers to the fact that
people have triggers when being bipolar. Symptoms you never had can be
triggered by a major event leading you to your diagnosis or you can be
triggered into having an episode.

If this is true then there is a possibility that when someone with bipolar
disorder is in an environment without stress and is eating healthy food,
like where I was in Africa, they may not suffer as many or no side effects
in which their bipolar disorder wouldn't interfere in their life.

The following are some of the web pages I received my facts from.

The Economic Crunch We're in: Corporations Want Fewer Workers, But They
Still Need Everyone to Be Consumers
The recession has been a way for employers to cull payrolls -- and to
discover that many jobs don't have to be filled again.
July 15, 2010  |  
 http://www.alternet.org/economy/147573/the_economic_crunch_we%27re_in%3A_co
rporations_want_fewer_workers%2C_but_they_still_need_everyone_to_be_consumer
s/?page=entire
 
A hard truth about the U.S. economy is that corporations don't need as
many of us as workers but still need us as consumers. That dilemma helps
explain why unemployment is stuck near 10 percent and why the economic
recovery is stumbling toward a double dip.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that nonfinancial companies are
sitting on $1.8 trillion - about one-fourth more than at the start of the
recession - but won't add personnel in part because they're waiting for
consumer demand to pick up, which isn't happening because many Americans
don't have jobs or are afraid of losing theirs.

Yet, even if that vicious cycle could be broken, there's another reason for
the lack of hiring: companies have found they can make do with a lot fewer
American workers. The recession has been a way to cull payrolls - and to
discover that many jobs don't have to be filled again, either because of
new technologies or because the jobs have been shifted overseas.

Both these trends predated the recession but the rapid shedding of jobs
since the Wall Street financial crash in 2008 - some eight million jobs
lost - has spotlighted this structural change. Further, corporate
determination to remain "lean" has turned the worker-surplus issue from a
personal crisis for many American families into a systemic one for the
country's economy.

Predictably, the free-marketers at CNBC and the Wall Street Journal have
echoed the political message of the Chamber of Commerce and other
right-wingers who blame the sluggish rehiring on the Obama administration's
health-care reform and the likelihood that President George W. Bush's tax
cuts for the rich will lapse.

That view fits with Ronald Reagan's economic orthodoxy which has dominated
the United States for the past three decades. It holds that the answer to
the nation's economic woes is always to cut taxes especially for the rich,
to trust in corporate self-regulation, and to crack down on unions.

Yet, the realistic answer to America's sorry economic state would seem to
be the opposite: to raise taxes on the rich so investments can be made in
the national infrastructure of education, transportation and technology; to
impose reasonable regulations on corporations to prevent dangerous excesses
and risks; and to ensure that workers (and consumers) get a fair shake.

Through the federal taxing power, Washington could put Americans to work
preparing the nation for the future, building high-speed rail, developing
clean energy, improving education for all, advancing medical technologies,
repairing the environment, and addressing a host of other national
priorities.

The Media Imbalance

But a second hard truth about today's America is that the political/media
structure is such that these steps are almost unimaginable. In the power
centers of New York and Washington, in particular, Corporate America and
its right-wing allies have built a propaganda apparatus that makes any
serious discussion of these options political suicide.

This propaganda machinery, which reaches across the United States through
right-wing talk radio, Fox News and a variety of other outlets, guarantees
that any politician (or media personality) who pushes too hard or too
effectively for questioning the Reagan orthodoxy will be demonized.

President Barack Obama is only the latest politician to learn this lesson.
Though many on the American Left denounce Obama as a weak-kneed centrist
too eager to compromise, he is portrayed to the rest of America as a
radical socialist, sometimes even likened to Hitler and Stalin.

It doesn't matter that these comparisons are as absurd as they are
offensive. The point about propaganda is that if ugly attacks are repeated
enough about some individual, many in the public will be influenced,
consciously or subconsciously, to think of the person in a negative light.

And as that trend gains momentum - as the politician's polls sink - the
mainstream media will go with the flow, endlessly reprising stories about
the person's slipping popularity and thus hastening the political decline.

This pattern is almost inevitable unless there is a counterforce within the
media that challenges the lies and distortions. But today's America has
almost no Left media to speak of, at least nothing that compares with what
the Right has built, and what Left media does exist tends to resent the
political compromises that Obama and other Democrats have made.

Thus, the media asymmetry causes Democratic politicians to make more
compromises, hoping to limit the Right's ability to demonize them but
further alienating and demoralizing the Democratic base.

So, the outcome of Election 2010 seems likely to follow the same course as
Election 1994, the last time a new Democratic president was in office and
tried to enact some watered-down reforms. Again, Republicans are expected
to win - and win big - which would then put them in position to block
whatever is left of Obama's agenda and thus turn him into an actual (or
virtual) lame duck.

Though Bill Clinton did win reelection in 1996 against a weak Republican
opponent (Bob Dole) with the help of a third-party candidate (Ross Perot),
Clinton had to confine his second-term ambitions to "micro-programs" and to
changes favored by the Republicans, such as the removal of Great
Depression-era regulations of the banking system (a "modernization" that
set the stage for the 2008 financial collapse).

Investigating Obama

If Republicans gain control of at least one house of Congress, they would
surely launch a wave of investigations against Obama, much as the GOP did
against Clinton.

Unlike the Democrats who shy away from investigative controversies -
turning their backs even on historic scandals such as Iran-Contra,
Iraq-gate and contra-cocaine trafficking in the 1980s as well as George W.
Bush's torture abuses and illegal wars last decade - the Republicans have
no such qualms.

They pounced all over trivial Clinton "scandals" like Whitewater and
Travel-gate and impeached Clinton for lying about sex (though they could
not muster a super-majority in the Senate for conviction). And Rep. Darrell
Issa, R-California, has vowed to be similarly aggressive now if he gains
control of the House oversight committee next year. [Washington Post, July
4, 2010]

So, with Obama embattled and the Democratic congressional majorities likely
to shrink or disappear, the chances for the United States to confront its
structural problems will only worsen.

With unemployment staying high, many middle-class Americans will sink into
a growing under-class. The rich will fight to keep as much of their
oversized salaries and bonuses as possible, with the Republicans ensuring
that the one political sure-thing will be that legislated tax increases
won't happen.

Indeed, the simplest way to address the nation's myriad of problems - by
restoring the marginal tax rates for the rich back to the historical levels
of, say, the Kennedy era (around 60 percent on their top income) - is the
one thing that is almost impossible to contemplate.

Since Reagan's presidency, the Republicans have been determined to "starve"
the government of resources so it can't address problems like climate
change, renewable energy, education, transportation, health care, housing,
etc. The only big expenditure that the GOP won't cut is military spending,
especially for overseas wars.

Though the Republican vision of the future appears to guarantee a continued
decline in the quality of American life, the Right's propaganda machinery
makes any suggestion about the need to tax the rich more heavily akin to
socialism. The Revolutionary War slogan, "no taxation without
representation," has been transformed to something close to "no taxation,
period."

Remember the famous encounter between candidate Obama and "Joe the
Plumber," who decried Obama's idea about the need to redistribute wealth
from the upper-income levels to middle- and working-class Americans so the
economy would work better.

That debate remains at the center of America's economic struggles, as it
has been since the Great Depression when income inequality and financial
speculation were two key factors in the mass unemployment that followed the
Crash of 1929. Two lessons learned were that a strong middle class and
reasonable government regulations were necessary for a healthy economy.

New Consensus

That New Deal consensus held until 1980 when a new Reagan-era consensus
took hold, claiming that tax cuts tilted toward the wealthy and reduced
regulation of corporations were the route to prosperity. A corollary was
that the wealthy deserved the lion's share because of their intelligence
and hard work.

Reagan and the Right sold many Americans, including large numbers of people
from the lower economic strata, on the idea that it was unfair for the
government to use the tax system to reverse the consolidation of wealth and
the political power that went with it.

However, the counter-argument is that virtually every rich person in the
United States has benefited from the investment of taxpayers' money in
creating the conditions for business success, from public education of
workers, to the transportation infrastructure for shipping goods, to the
research and development that opened opportunities in computer technology,
medicines and the Internet.

Indeed, to ensure that the benefits from these government investments are
shared with some equity would require that the excess income at the top be
recycled into other improvements of the nation's infrastructure and the
quality of life for all Americans.

In other words, by raising taxes on the rich, Washington could help create
the jobs needed for addressing national problems and simultaneously break
the vicious cycle that has left nearly 10 percent of Americans unemployed,
the key fact that has depressed consumer demand.

However, to change the dominant Reagan-era ideology - and thus to change
America - would require smart investments from progressives in the
information battles for the hearts and minds of the American voters.

Only with the Right's orthodoxy challenged and the American people
understanding their real choices might politicians gain the confidence and
courage to do what's needed to get the United States back on the path of a
healthy economy - and toward a revived democracy.

Subject: [GJM] The Cancer-Preventing Vitamin Your Doctor Is Likely
	Completely Clueless About
Message-ID: <009601cb2621$014cae90$03e60bb0$@net>

Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS 

 

Recall that just a short time ago I wrote about being deficient in vitamins
D3 and B1 and having anxiety attacks coupled with numbness and tingling in
my feet and legs, so it is obvious that nutrients play a tremendous role in
achieving wellness and something we need to pay more attention to.  As well,
researchers are just beginning to find out how important some of these
vitamins and minerals are in preventing disease. And one of these is vitamin
K.  So, here is a heads up on this from Dr. Mercola.     

 

In this interview, Dr. Cees Vermeer, one of the world's top vitamin K
researchers discusses the importance of this largely ignored and
oft-forgotten vitamin.

Vitamin K, just like vitamin D, is crucial for preventing cancer,
osteoporosis, and heart disease, and nearly everyone is deficient.

 

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/07/17/cees-vermeer-i
nterview.aspx

 

Something that I want to mention here is that in recommending certain foods
that contain vitamins and minerals necessary for our health, these respected
physicians completely ignore the negative effect some of these foods have on
the environment.  And, I am talking mainly about the effect cattle-raising
has, whether for beef or for milk and other dairy products, on the
environment.  Although let me say that the modern method of raising animals
commercially for food is neither a healthy or sustainable practice. And I
will do something more in depth on this later. But we must begin to look at
things "holodynamically" - that is, we must consider all of the dimensions
involved in any given situation. We cannot simply say that vitamin K is
necessary for good health and that cheese is a good source while ignoring
that cattle-grazing is one of the main factors in the cause of topsoil loss
worldwide. Let me repeat again that civilization was built on topsoil and
worldwide we are now losing topsoil at 17% faster than it can be replaced.
Another critical factor here is that it takes an average of 100 years to
replace one inch of topsoil, but this is dependent upon location specifics
and can vary.  

 

And,  just as we looked at raw coaco, whether in the form of bars or as a
drink being a better replacement for coffee, when we look at all of the
dynamics involved, we need to consider the relationship between topsoil loss
and cattle-raising, and determine what the most sensible and cost effective
thing to do is when all factors are taken into consideration.  We simply
cannot continue to "live to eat" and kill our life support system at the
same time. We MUST come to grips that the manner in which we eat effects
both the environment and our health in major ways.  And, we must choose
wisely what we do in this regard.  

 

So, I'm giving both Dr. Mercola and Dr. Cree an "F" on this. Doctors must
begin to consider the health of our life support system first and then
carefully recommend what is the best choice in the best interests of all
concerned. 

 

I also want to note again that nutrition plays a key role in both mental and
physical health according to Dr. Linus Pauling, although it has only been
recently that much attention was paid to the role of nutrition in mental
health.  But let's visit again the TrueHope organization and the results
achieved with their EMPowerPlus supplement in the treatment of Bipolar
Disorder. http://www.truehope.com/ When we find treatment with this
supplement providing an 80% heal rate as opposed to about 70% with treatment
using lithium, which has been shown to damage the liver and kidneys over
long term use - 10 years or more, then we must consider that supplements are
benign in this respect and thus the better form of treatment in most cases.

Message-ID: <00af01cb262a$37069010$a513b030$@net>

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS 

For quite some time I felt there was little difference between the Republicans and Democrats. However, over the last few months it has become increasingly apparent that being Republican stands for supporting the elite, read "those who control the Global Monetocracy System" and ensuring we-the-people are kept as wage slaves for their benefit. 

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the refusal of the Republicans in Congress to pass the expanded unemployment insurance and tax cuts now up before them. But, of course, if these Republicans vote in the interests of we-the-people it ensures that they will not be re-elected next time around since the "old boy's network" will no longer support them. But, of course, this is the way politics have been set up for years and, are played to ensure that the money interests always win over social justice and with no regard for the costs to the natural environment over the long run. 

What this situation calls for, as we note that "jobs for pay" are fast disappearing and why, is a new monetary system that is "life-enhancing" and is not based on "work for pay" but rather on providing a meaningful way of life for everyone. The age and time for capitalism is simply over -- we have now moved out of the Industrial Age and into the Age of Knowledge. And this new age requires a different way of thinking and acting. 

Does anyone on this list comprehend what it means if there are 3.2 million people in the U.S. who have no way of obtaining food or shelter, along with the millions of others now out on the streets and already homeless and jobless, because they now have no income. And what about the 40,000 prison inmates just here in the State of California alone who are being released into the general population with little or no chance for work. Do you feel these people are going to take this sitting down and without protest?  

Again, while food sovereignty is the cornerstone of freedom, in an economy that is based solely on job creation with a paid wage, when that job disappears and there is no place for these people to turn for sustenance as the land once available for subsistence farming no longer exists because it has been bought up and turned into suburbs by developers. And our food supply is now shipped in from places like China, Israel, Peru, and Mexico, what do you feel is going to happen? Was this why George W. Bush set it up so that martial law could be instituted by the President, whomever that may be, without having to be approved by Congress? And, of course, wouldn't the Republicans love to the ones who are in control when this happens?

The question of the day is: How do we-the-people reverse this situation and take back our power?

Richard Haass In Newsweek: Rethink Afghanistan Because Nation Building Is
Not Working And We're Not Winning
Nicholas Graham  Updated: 07-17-10 02:07 PM
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/17/richard-haass-in-newsweek_n_650091.
html
   Politico's Mike Allen reports in his Playbook today that the new issue
of Newsweek will feature a major cover story by Richard Haass called
"Rethinking Afghanistan: We're not winning. It's not worth it. Here's how
to draw down in Afghanistan."
   The article is set to be published on Sunday.
   Haass, a well-respected voice on foreign affairs who presides over the
Council on Foreign Relations, argues that the Afghan war as it's being
prosecuted today is indeed a war of President Obama's choosing, playing off
the past remarks of RNC chairman Michael Steele that caused a storm of
controversy.
   In an excerpt obtained by Allen, Haas writes,
    "GOP chairman Michael ... Steele's critics are the ones who are wrong:
the RNC chair was more correct than not on the substance of his statement,
if not the politics. The war being waged by the United States in
Afghanistan today is fundamentally different and more ambitious than
anything carried out by the Bush administration. Afghanistan is very much
Barack Obama's war of choice, a point that the president underscored
recently by picking Gen. David Petraeus to lead an intensified
counterinsurgency effort there. After nearly nine years of war, however,
continued or increased U.S. involvement in Afghanistan isn't likely to
yield lasting improvements that would be commensurate in any way with the
investment of American blood and treasure. It is time to scale down our
ambitions there and both reduce and redirect what we do. ... The war the
United States is now fighting in Afghanistan is not succeeding and is not
worth waging in this way. The time has come to scale back U.S. objectives
and sharply reduce U.S. involvement on the ground. Afghanistan is claiming
too many American lives, requiring too much attention, and absorbing too
many resources. The sooner we accept that Afghanistan is less a problem to
be fixed than a situation to be managed, the better."


How Giant Food Corporations Are Giving Kickbacks to Schools to Get Their
Products on Kids' Trays
The reason why kids are served sugary cereals, Pop-Tarts, Otis Spunkmeyer
muffins, and flavored milk that has nearly as much sugar as Coke or
Mountain Dew.
July 17, 2010  |  
http://www.alternet.org/food/147557/how_giant_food_corporations_are_giving_k
ickbacks_to_schools_to_get_their_products_on_kids%27_trays_/
   D.C. Public Schools in the last two years have taken in more than $1
million in corporate rebates -- referred to by some as "kickbacks" -- paid
by giant food manufacturers as an inducement to place their brands on kids'
cafeteria trays at school.
   Documents I obtained through the Freedom of Information Act show that
Chartwells, the company hired by D.C. Schools to provide food services at
122 schools across the city, through February of this year had declared
$1,076,738 in rebates it received since its contract began in the fall of
2008. That represents 5 percent of the $18.7 million in purchases
Chartwells billed the school system during that period. Under federal law,
Chartwells is required to credit D.C. schools for any rebates it receives.
   Food manufacturers use the rebates as an incentive to entice purchasing
agents to buy certain products over others for school meals. Rebates
sometimes are referred to as "kickbacks" because powerful food service
companies such as Chartwells expect to receive them, much the way grocers
expect manufacturers to pay to have their goods displayed prominently on
supermarket shelves.
   Critics charge that the rebates -- also referred to as "volume
discounts" or "buy backs" -- act as a tool in the campaign to imprint
processed and often sugary food brands in the minds of young children.
Rebates help explain why kids in D.C. schools routinely are served sugary
cereals such as Kellogg's Apple Jacks and snacks like Kellogg's Pop-Tarts,
Otis Spunkmeyer muffins, Pepperidge Farm Giant Goldfish Grahams, and
flavored milk from Cloverland Dairy that has nearly as much sugar as Coke
or Mountain Dew.


Arizona Immigrant Deaths In Desert Soaring
07/16/10 08:59 PM
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/16/arizona-immigrant-deaths-desert_n_6
49902.html
   PHOENIX - The number of deaths among illegal immigrants crossing the
Arizona desert from Mexico is soaring so high this month that the medical
examiner's office that handles the bodies is using a refrigerated truck to
store some of them, the chief examiner said Friday.
   The bodies of 40 illegal immigrants have been brought to the office of
Pima County Medical Examiner Dr. Bruce Parks since July 1. At that rate,
Parks said the deaths could top the single-month record of 68 in July 2005
since his office began tracking them in 2000. "Right now, at the halfway
point of the month, to have so many is just a very bad sign," he said.
"It's definitely on course to perhaps be the deadliest month of all time."
   From Jan. 1 to July 15, the office has handled the bodies of 134 illegal
immigrants, up from 93 at the same time last year and 102 in 2008. In 2007,
when the office recorded the highest annual deaths of illegal immigrants,
140 bodies had been taken there through July 15. Parks said his office,
which handles immigrant bodies from three counties, is currently storing
roughly 250 bodies and had to start using a refrigerated truck because of
the increase in immigrant deaths this month. He said many of the bodies
seem to be coming from the desert southwest of Tucson, where it tends to be
hotter than eastern parts of the border or the Tucson metro area.
   Authorities believe the high number of deaths are likely due to
above-average and unrelenting heat in southern Arizona this month and
ongoing tighter border security that pushes immigrants to more remote,
rugged and dangerous terrain. Erik Pytlak, a meteorologist with the
National Weather Service, said Tucson's average nighttime lows in the first
15 days of July are the hottest for that period in recorded history.


Supporters of Sarah Palin's Senate Candidate Carry Assault Rifles in Parade

[whose politics are well to the right of Atilla the Hun]

   Supporters of Joe Miller--the U.S. Senate candidate supported by Sarah
Palin in Alaska--carried assault rifles and wore open side arms during a
festive community parade this week, while young children marched alongside
them.
   Miller is running in the GOP primary against incumbent Republican US
Senator Lisa Murkowski, a far more popular figure in Alaska these days than
Palin, who quit her position as governor a year ago amidst a series of
ethics scandals and an impending override of her federal stimulus veto.
   Footage of the event, located on Youtube and at the website of noted
Alaska blogger Andrew Halcro, shows a handful of potbellied Miller
supporters behind a black Humvee openly brandishing weapons at the Bear Paw
Festival, a popular community celebration held annually in Eagle River and
Chugiak (located north of Anchorage along the Old Glenn Highway on the way
to the Palins' home town of Wasilla). The five-day festival includes a
"Teddy Bear Picnic," barbecues, music and a historical fair.
   Miller, who received the Alaska Tea Party endorsement and whose politics
are well to the right of Atilla the Hun, served as an assistant attorney
for the Fairbanks North Star Borough from 2002-2009. He left amidst
controversy last year and failed to include this position anywhere in his
official campaign bio or web site. Palin's political action committee
SarahPAC recently dished out a $5,000 contribution to Miller's campaign.


Republicans divided on the importance of an agenda for midterm elections
By Karen Tumulty and Paul Kane
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, July 17, 2010
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/16/AR2010071606
245.html?hpid=topnews
   Sometime after Labor Day, House Minority Leader John A. Boehner plans to
unveil a blueprint of what Republicans will do if they take back control of
the chamber. He promises it will be a full plate of policy proposals that
will give voters a clear sense of how they would govern. 
   But will Republicans actually want to run on those ideas -- or any
ideas? Behind the scenes, many are being urged to ignore the leaders and do
just the opposite: avoid issues at all costs. Some of the party's most
influential political consultants are quietly counseling their clients to
stay on the offensive for the November midterm elections and steer clear of
taking stands on substance that might give Democratic opponents material
for a counterattack.
   "The smart political approach would be to make the election about the
Democrats," said Neil Newhouse of the powerhouse Republican polling firm
Public Opinion Strategies, which is advising more than 50 House and Senate
candidates. "In terms of our individual campaigns, I don't think it does a
great deal of good" to engage in a debate over the Republicans' own agenda.
   Others are skeptical that any Republican policy proposals will have much
of an impact. "They really still have to have a sharp contrast with the
Democrats," said John McLaughlin, another leading Republican pollster whose
firm counts both the House and Senate campaign committees among its
clients. "They really need to drive that home before people will be willing
to listen to what Republicans stand for."
   It's not that Boehner (Ohio) is arguing for a cease-fire. The debate
among Republicans comes down to this: The speaker-in-waiting, for all his
love of political combat, thinks that voters will not trust GOP candidates
if their attacks don't also provide at least some substance. The
consultants argue that public anger, if properly stoked, alone can carry
the party over the finish line. In their view, getting bogged down in the
issues is a distraction and even a potential liability.

Racism In The Tea Parties
July 16, 2010
http://pr.thinkprogress.org/
   In passing a resolution condemning the racist elements within the Tea
Party this week, the NAACP set off a media firestorm over the merits of its
charge against the right-wing movement. As the Atlantic's Ta-Nehisi Coates
notes, critics bemoaned the resolution as a silly stunt that "heightened
division" and implied that racist extremists define the membership of the
Tea Party. Such a wholesale charge would certainly be exaggerated and
inaccurate, but that was not the charge the NAACP made. "The resolution was
amended during the debate to specifically ask the Tea Party itself to
repudiate the racist elements and activities of the Tea Party." As NAACP
President and CEO Ben Jealous said, "We're simply asking them to repudiate
racist acts and bigotry in their ranks or accept responsibility." But
instead of acknowledging and disassociating themselves from the more
radical actions of their membership, Tea Party leaders have said that
racist elements are non existent. In hurling accusations of racism back at

Wall St and peak oil
July 15, 2010 11:00am by Kate Mackenzie
http://blogs.ft.com/energy-source/2010/07/15/wall-st-and-peak-oil/
   One of the enduring lines about peak oil is that authorities keep it a
secret because there would be some kind of financial havoc if it were
revealed. A recent example is a claim that Steven Chu, US energy secretary:
    ". knows all about peak oil, but he can't talk about it. If the
government announced that peak oil was threatening our economy, Wall Street
would crash."
   Is it really possible that oil traders, investors and analysts haven't
heard of peak oil?
   Or that they have decided to ignore it altogether?
   First, peak oil is hardly shunned by the financial world; just Google
'peak oil funds' to see how many investment managers are basing their
strategy around this. Oil market traders can't ignore the question of
peaking oil production either, because the supply/demand balance is
intrinsically bound up with oil prices. So they follow it as though their
livelihoods depend on it. If the supply of other liquid fuels such as
bioethanol proves inadequate to make up the shortfall of demand, then the
price of oil will inevitably go up. In fact that's what some believe
happened in 2008 when crude prices did reach $147 per barrel: Saudi Arabia,
the world's biggest source of oil and its only significant "swing"
producer, ran out of spare capacity.
   Morgan Downey, author of 'Oil 101?, made that very argument. Though in
his personal capacity, he was at the time a senior commodities trader at
Standard Chartered.
   He was hardly alone in being concerned about capacity. True, some
financial analysts have faith in the potential of technology to overcome
the problem of increasingly scarce supplies of easy oil. But they know this
is an unknown. On the whole, market traders and analysts do talk about the
risk of demand outpacing supply. Quite a lot, in fact - as John Kemp of
Reuters wrote last month, many oil market analysts spent much of last year
focusing on an imminent tightening of supply. They may couch it in terms of
"supply crunch" rather than "peak oil", but the basic concern is
the same.
   Goldman Sachs famously predicted during 2008 that oil would hit $200 a
barrel. Despite being a little wide of the mark (prices peaked at $147)
commodities analysts at Goldman were talking in 2009 about a looming energy
crisis and a shortfall as early as the second half of 2010.  Although they
attributed this to lack of investment and geopolitical constraints, the
message was still that oil supply was at risk. Bernstein Research is
another one we wrote about last year, warning about flow rates,
particularly on newer oil plays.
   Of course there are others who argue that supply-side risks in general
are overblown, pointing to Iraq or slowing world demand. Deutsche Bank
analysts, for example, wrote last year about 'the end of the age of
oil', arguing that oil demand looked increasingly like peaking before
supply did.
   Sceptics of this argument will point out that information about global
reserves is opaque, particularly from Saudi Arabia and other Opec nations.
That is a very good point. But market participants know this. Their jobs
involve poring over reports such as the IEA's 2008 oil field survey,
which made clear that its decline rates were estimates based on a sample of
fields. Markets price that uncertainty in. Look at prices: crude oil has
remained well above $70 for much of the past 12 months, a price point that
baffled many commentators. Why should oil prices reach what are
historically high prices at a time when emergence from global recession was
far from assured?


Report: 'It's Clear That Some With Racist Agendas Are Trying To Make
Inroads Into' The Tea Party
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/07/16/racist-tea-party/
   This week, the NAACP approved a resolution condemning what it called
"racist elements" within the Tea Party movement. "You must expel the
bigots and racists in your ranks or take full responsibility for all of
their actions," NAACP President Benjamin Jealous said. Conservatives and
tea partiers immediately took offense. Rush Limbaugh called the resolution
"not true," while Sarah Palin said it is "false" and
"appalling." Sean Hannity claimed he "can't find any" racist Tea
Party signs, while Tea Party Express founder Mark Williams attacked the
NAACP, claiming it makes "more money off race than any slave trader
ever."
   But as ThinkProgress has documented, there is racism in the Tea Party
movement. Moreover, a new report from the Kansas City Star digs deeper into
the racist elements of the Tea Party and citing various instances of racism
linked to the movement, concludes that "it's clear that some with
racist agendas are trying to make inroads into the party," noting that
"in several instances, tea party members with racist backgrounds":


Still Looking Out For Wall Street, Leading Republicans Are Already Calling
To Repeal Financial Reform
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/07/16/immediately-congress-financial-reform/
   Earlier this week, the Senate voted 60-39 to pass Congress's financial
regulatory reform bill, setting the stage for President Obama to sign it
into law next week. The bill installs new safeguards and protections for
consumers in their interactions with financial institutions and is a
response to the economic crisis started in 2008 largely due to bad behavior
by the world's most powerful financial institutions.
   Yet, just as they did for the health care bill earlier in the year,
leading Republicans have already started calling for a repeal of the bill,
this time before it has even been signed into law:
    - Even before the bill passed the Senate, House Minority Leader John
Boehner (R-OH) told reporters on the day of the vote, "I think it ought
to be repealed." [7/15/10]
    - "If we were in a position to do something, maybe [Boehner] is
right," said GOP Policy Chairman Sen. John Thune (ND), endorsing
Boehner's call for repeal. [7/15/10]
    - Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-AL) said he'd "love for it to be
repealed." [7/16/10]
    - Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL), the ranking Republican on the Senate
Banking Committee, told Good Morning America that he and other Republicans
would "like to repeal it." [7/16/10]


Greenspan Calls For Full Expiration Of The Bush Tax Cuts That He Helped
Enact
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/07/16/greenspan-bush-expire/
   With the legislative calendar starting to dwindle, lawmakers are paying
more and more attention to the scheduled expiration of the Bush tax cuts at
the end of the year. Republicans across the board are advocating for the
extension of all the cuts, and have explicitly said that extending the cuts
for the richest 2 percent of Americans (which would cost $678 billion) does
not have to be paid for.
   President Obama has called for letting the cuts for the very richest
expire, allowing the rates to reset to where they were under the Clinton
administration. In an interview with Bloomberg News' Judy Woodruff,
former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan went a step further, calling
for all of the tax cuts to expire, essentially sending the tax code back to
2001:
    WOODRUFF: On those tax cuts, they are due to expire at the end of this
year. Should they be extended? What should Congress do?
    GREENSPAN: I should say they should follow the law and let them lapse.
    WOODRUFF: Meaning what happens?
    GREENSPAN: Taxes go up. The problem is, unless we start to come to
grips with this long-term outlook, we are going to have major problems. I
think we misunderstand the momentum of this deficit going forward. 
   Greenspan's right that addressing the long-term structural deficit is
going to require raising some taxes, as getting the budget anywhere near
balance entirely on the spending side would mean draconian cuts to popular
programs that Americans support and rely on. But Greenspan was able to call
for allowing the cuts while conveniently leaving out his role in getting
them enacted in the first place.


One Million Americans To Lose Their Homes. Where Will They Go And How Will
They Live?
By Susie Madrak Saturday Jul 17, 2010 6:30am
http://crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/one-million-americans-lose-their-home

   A new report predicts more than 1 million American households will lose
their homes due to foreclosure:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynewspoint/20100715/ts_ynewspoint/ynewspoint_ts3125
    Nearly 528,000 homes were foreclosed in the first six months of 2010.
As lenders work through a huge backlog of borrowers behind on their
mortgages, even more home repossessions could occur before the end of the
year.
    According to RealtyTrac, Inc., a foreclosure listing service, the
number of households facing foreclosure in the first half of the year
climbed 8 percent when compared to the same time frame last year. In June,
1 in every 411 households received a foreclosure filing.
    The fastest growing group of foreclosures involved homeowners with good
credit who took out conventional fixed-rate loans. Many of these borrowers
have fallen behind in their mortgages due to unemployment or reduced
income.
    It takes about 15 months for a home loan to go from being 30 days late
to the property being seized and sold. Between January and June of this
year, about 1.7 million homeowners received a foreclosure-related warning.
At the time of this writing, more than 7.3 million home loans are in some
stage of delinquency. The states experiencing the highest foreclosure rates
are California, Florida, Michigan, Illinois, Arizona and Nevada.


Hannity: 'I can't find any' racist Tea Party signs
By David Saturday Jul 17, 2010 3:30pm
http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/node/38413
   Fox News' Sean Hannity is having trouble finding racist signs at Tea
Party events but maybe that's because he's just not looking very hard.
Radio host Steven A. Smith joined Hannity Thursday night to discuss a
resolution passed by the NAACP condemning racism in the Tea Party.
   "The NAACP, they have the resolution -- explicitly racist behavior,"
said Hannity. "Do you have any specific examples?" "Is there any example
[of] any Tea Party members said anything racist, held any racist signs?
Because we can't find any," Hannity asked Smith.
   "[The NAACP] was saying that folks held racist signs in various cities,"
answered Smith. "I don't know."
   But racially tinged signs from Tea Party events are widespread on the
Internet. A sign from a Madison, Wisconsin Tea Party reads "Obama's Plan --
White Slavery."
   A sign from another event says "Obama -- What you talkin about Willis!
Spend my money?"
   "Obamanomics -- Monkey see, Monkey spend!" reads a sign from a Denver
Tea Party.


Analysis of Latest Obama Administration Small Business Contracting Data
Released
By: Lloyd Chapman Saturday July 17, 2010 12:00 pm
http://seminal.firedoglake.com/diary/60275
   The American Small Business League (ASBL) has released the first
analysis of the government's fiscal year (FY) 2009 small business
contracting data (PDF).
    The ASBL conducted a review of the top 100 recipients of federal small
business contracts for FY 2009. Within its sample, the ASBL identified 61
large firms, which received 64.5 percent of the total dollars the
government claimed to have awarded to small businesses.
    The ASBL also identified a series of Fortune 500 corporations and other
large firms in the government's 2009 contracting data. Recipients of
small business contracts included: Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, L-3
Communications, British Aerospace (BAE), Northrop Grumman, General
Electric, Booz Allen Hamilton, Thales Communications, General Dynamics, and
Dell Computer.
   In addition to large corporations in the government's 2009 small
business contracting numbers, the ASBL also uncovered gross discrepancies
in the volume of contracts awarded to some companies. In a sampling of the
data, the ASBL uncovered several examples in which the volume of contracts
awarded to legitimate small businesses was dramatically inflated. This
appears to be an intentional attempt by the government to misrepresent the
actual volume of contracts awarded to small businesses. Another technique
the ASBL has uncovered is the exclusion of billions of dollars in large
prime contracts from the government's small business calculations, which
further inflates the percentage of federal contracts the government claims
to have awarded to legitimate small businesses.
   The ASBL has recommended that the Obama Administration take the
following steps to increase the volume of federal contracts awarded to
small businesses:
. Issue an executive order to stop the government from reporting awards
to publicly traded companies as small business awards.
. Abolish the Comprehensive Subcontracting Plan Test Program, which
currently allows prime contractors to avoid any reporting or penalties for
non-compliance of small business subcontracting goals.
. Implement the 5 percent set-aside goal for women-owned firms for all
industries.
   FY 2009 marks the tenth consecutive year that the government has
diverted federal small business contracts to corporate giants. The SBA has
gone from telling us that the diversion of federal small business contracts
was a 'myth' to telling us that it's the result of 'simple human
error.' It is time for President Obama to honor his campaign promise,
when he said, "It is time to end the diversion of federal small business
contracts to corporate giants."

Thanks to Trading Post Paul for this one. When one runs out of the stuff
that bubbles are made of, then it becomes obvious that no more bubbles can
be blown. Such is the case with the economy, and collapse is an inevitable
result of corruption in structures to weak to stand any longer. And, at this
point no president could have staved off what has been wrong since the
Constitution was first instituted. Thomas Jefferson knew then what we are
just now learning the hard way.

For the Economy, Help Is Not on the Way
http://www.commondreams.org/view/2010/07/15-12
by Ted Rall Thursday, July 15, 2010 

TORONTO--Twenty years ago, in 1990, the American economy was in the third
year of a deep recession. It was impossible to find a job. The 1980s
housing bubble had popped; high-end housing prices in New York City dropped
by 80 percent. Then, as now, the president seemed oblivious, aloof and
clueless. Two years later, with no recovery in sight, angry voters turned
him out of office.

But help was on the way. Something called the World Wide Web appeared in
1991. Two years later, Mosaic--the first graphic web browser, which would
evolve into Netscape--was introduced. The Internet boom began. It flamed
out seven years later, but in the meantime tens of millions of Americans
collected new, higher paychecks. They spent their windfall. Consumer
spending exploded. So did government tax revenues. When Bill Clinton left
office in 2001, the Office of Management and Budget was projecting a $5
trillion surplus over the next ten years--enough to pay off the national
debt and fund Social Security for decades. Unemployment had fallen to four
percent. United States GDP accounted for a quarter of the global economy.

It's different this time. We are in a deep depression: calculated the same
way as it was in the 1930s, the unemployment rate is the same as it was in
1934. Global credit markets have stalled. Investment has ceased.

And help isn't coming.

Despair oozes between the lines of media interviews of economists. Asked
where the recovery will come from, they run down the list of theoretical
possibilities, dismissing them one by one. The question remains unanswered.
Which is, of course, the answer.

No one knows where the recovery will come from for a simple reason: It
isn't coming. Not any time soon.

"A robust rebound in retail sales earlier in the spring had fueled hopes
that consumer spending--which makes up about 70% of U.S. economic
activity--would give a strong lift to the recovery. But now that is looking
increasingly unlikely," reported The Los Angeles Times. "Households are not
going to be the engine of growth for some time," Paul Dales of Capital
Economics told the newspaper.

"In past recoveries, booming construction activity led the way, fueling
spending and other economic activity. That's not happening this time," said
the Times.

If there's some new technological innovation--like the Internet in the
early 1990s--waiting in the wings, no one has heard or seen it.

Forget about Congress. The feds wasted hundreds of billions of dollars to
bail out banks, insurance companies and big automakers who used our
taxpayer money to give raises to their top executives and remodel their
offices. Meanwhile, the stimulus that needed to happen--bailing out
distressed homeowners, small businesses and individuals who lost their
jobs--never happened. Now Congress is worried about the deficit. So read my
lips: no new bailouts, not even one that might actually work.

Some think the U.S. could export its way out of the depression. But a
radical restructuring of trade agreements and manufacturing infrastructure
would have to come first, followed by years of expansion. U.S. policymakers
haven't even begun to think about the first move. Moreover, the rest of the
world isn't in a position to buy our stuff. The rate of expansion of the
economies of China and Japan is slowing down. Germany and other EU nations
are imposing austerity measures.

Globalization is key. Writing in The Wall Street Journal, John H. Makin
argues that the actions of individual G20 nations threaten to bring the
whole system crashing down in a Keynesian "paradox of thrift."

Makin says: "Because all governments are simultaneously tightening fiscal
policy, growth is cut so much that revenues collapse and budget deficits
actually rise. The underlying hope or expectation that easier money, a
weaker currency, and higher exports can somehow compensate for the negative
impact on growth from rapid, global fiscal consolidation cannot be realized
everywhere at once. The combination of tighter fiscal policy, easy money,
and a weaker currency, which can work for a small open economy, cannot work
for the global economy."

Adds Mike Whitney of Eurasia Review: "Obama intends to double exports
within the next decade. Every other nation has the exact same plan. They'd
rather weaken their own currencies and starve workers than raise salaries
and fund government work programs. Class warfare takes precedent over
productivity, a healthy economy or even national solvency. Contempt for
workers is the religion of elites."

One can hardly blame workers for fighting back. Two weeks after hundreds of
protesters rioted at the G20 summit meeting, Toronto police are pouring
through thousands of photos and are using facial recognition software to
track down offenders. They have even released a Top 10 "Most Wanted" list
and related pictures of activists.

Whether or not the anti-globalization protesters are motivated by the
struggle for liberation and economic equality, they symbolize the
industrialized world's best chance to prevent the economy from continuing
its current process of slow-motion collapse. If the system cannot be saved
by consumers, business or government, the system itself must be revamped
and replaced. Late-period global capitalism's constant cycle of booms and
busts is unsustainable and intolerable. States must regulate and equalize
incomes, and control production.

If the cops were smart, they would track down and arrest those people who
really are ruining the economy. They could start by listing and releasing
the photos of the attendees of the G20.

And the basic reason for the censorship is that while the official figure
for USA unemployment is just under 10%, the alternative analyses of the
situation (which include people on just a few hours work and those who are
discouraged) are around 20 - 22%.

 

Worse,  I have just seen that a survey of families (the sample was 1000) is
showing around 28% unemployed, very similar to the previous month's figure.

 

And. NB, war on Iran is building - the reason is to hide the deteriorating
economic situation (and it should be remembered that the 2007/8 view of 16
(sixteen) USA intelligence agencies was that Iran is not building a bomb)
and they have issued nothing to contradict that.  There's just a continual
drip, drip, drip of propaganda alleging weapons of mass destruction,
exactly as there was before the attack on Iraq.

If there is such a thing as "evil," then this IMHO has become the face of
evil. Whether its spreading wrong information about what's happening in the
Gulf of Mexico, or putting out false information about the real rate of
unemployment and its cause, these people are fast at work spreading lies.
They are also the face of the military-industrial complex that has taken
control of the U.S. in collusion with the bankers.  And, while President
Eisenhower warned us about this, we sat by and let it happen.  But what is
so very dangerous about this group is the insidious way in which they manage
to twist things so that black looks white and people just eat it up.  

 

Thank you Marilyn.  With love and in gratitude for all that you do.

After I sent this message, it dawned on me that this is false information.
The reason I know?  Because I just happen to have contact with a person who
owns technology similar to that mentioned in this video.  And, I was told
that it is being used in the Gulf at this time to help separate the oil.
Maybe it's also time we woke up to the fact that Brasscheck is one of the
faces of the military-industrial complex and a propaganda source.

Some serious mysteries and unanswered questions
are arising from the BP oil spill.

The strange thing is that not only are they not
being addressed in the mainstream news, they're
also not being raised by the so-called conspiracy
press.

While all may not be "good news" here, I find hope in that the same amount
of oil as has been flooding into the Gulf has now been slowed , and it
appears that some headway may be in the making in this horrendous event that
cannot help but affect all life on the planet in some way or other.      

 

May we all join up with the Global Coherence Initiative and direct some
healing energy into this situation through directed  meditation.  Right now,
this is the most effective thing we can do.   While I didn't forward it due
to so much other important news in the offing, I did get a very nice message
from Bruce Cryer of the Institute of HeartMath thanking me for sharing  GCI

Treachery In The Gulf 
By Robbi Skye Campbell
6-29-10

 


What has happened in the Gulf of Mexico was not by accident. It was most
likely a design to support an agenda. What that agenda is we do not know
exactly but I will try to connect the dots. We may soon know the true extent
of its nature by the "solutions" our government imposes on the people in the
Gulf area.

 

There are some major problems:

 

The Obama administration allowed BP to drill at an unstable site (highly
over pressured) in 5,000 feet of water;

 

BP CEO Tony Hayward dumped his BP stock 2 months before the spill;

 

The well was kicking since they drilled into the production zone, so the
drilling fluid or mud was underbalanced (mud weight not quite heavy enough
for the upward pressure of the gas);

 

Goldman Sachs dumped 44% of BP stock and went short on Transocean stock the
day before the spill;

 

The drilling crew knew that the annular blowout preventer was damaged and BP
company man Kazula did not order it repaired;

 

BP company man Kazula was a greenhorn on the Deepwater Horizon (he was
inexperienced);

 

The well was cased, cemented and had two cement abandonment plugs in place,
so how could the well be kicking (trying to blow out)?;

 

BP company man Kazula sent away the Schlumberger team (supposed to do the
cement bond log to check Halliburton's cement job on the casing);

 

Despite this the BP company man made the decision to change the mud over to
seawater (seawater is 40% lighter than the drilling mud). This is not
logical;

 

Shouting match between the rig superintendent and the company man.
Superintendent felt that the order to change over to seawater was irrational
and suicidal;

 

During the changeover of the mud to seawater is when the blowout naturally
occurred;

 

President Obama stood by but did not take action for at least three weeks
after the spill;

 

BP and the White House allowed the spill to continue;

 

The White House allowed BP to spray the highly toxic chemical, Corexit 9500,
which is considered to be four to ten times more toxic than the oil itself.
EPA told BP not to use Corexit 9500 and BP ignored the federal agency.
Corexit is being sprayed at nighttime on coastal residences by the
CIA-front, Evergreen Air (which reportedly also sprays chemtrails);

 

Negligible cleanup measures on the shores and at sea;

 

Barack Obama sent SWAT teams to production platforms and drilling rigs;

 

Obama sent the Army and National Guard into the Gulf States for what reason?

 

Suppression of investigative reporting of the spill;

 

BP arrested people taking pictures of the area;

 

BP is allowed to reap the benefit of gathering oil rather than stopping the
spill;

 

Interests and livelihood of the residents suppressed and not considered in
decisions;

 

President Obama is using the spill to get the "Cap and Trade" bill passed;

 

Twenty-two countries have offered their experience in spill control and
cleanup but neither our government nor BP has accepted their offers;

 

BP and Obama have declined to use non-toxic microbes as a clean-up measure;

 

BP company man Kazula invoked the Fifth Amendment under congressional
questioning of his orders.

 

 

Where are the environmental groups? The Santa Barbara spill in 1969 was from
an offshore drilling rig in the Santa Barbara Channel. It was a blowout on
Union Oil's platform A; over ten days it was estimated that 80,000 to
100,000 barrels of crude oil spilled into the channel and onto the beaches
from Goleta to Rincon and all four Channel Islands. The oil spill prompted a
congressional moratorium in 1981 on new offshore oil leasing with exceptions
of the Gulf of Mexico and parts of offshore Alaska that remained in effect
until 2008 when Congress did not renew it.

 

This was the coming out of environmental groups. At the same time Friends of
the Earth was heavily supported by BP, ARCO, and EXXON in its litigation
against those companies to prevent the completion of the Alaska Pipeline
until the price of oil was raised by the Ayatollah in 1978. Friends of the
Earth then withdrew is lawsuit and the pipeline was allowed to begin
transporting much more valuable oil.

 

In 1989 we saw the Exxon Valdez spill which was the largest oil spill at
10.8 million gallons (250,000 barrels) when it hit the Prince William
Sound's Bligh Reef. Others estimated a far greater amount, closer to 30
million gallons. It was considered to be one of the most devastating
environmental disasters. The tanker's Rayas sonar was not turned on. It was
broken and disabled for longer than one year and was considered too
expensive to repair or replace. The environmental groups were all over them,
and the media piled on.

 

The Exxon Valdez crew was criticized for its slow response. The
environmental groups were powerful and their voices were heard. In response
to this spill the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) was passed by Congress. It
prohibited after 22 MAR 1989 any vessel that has caused a spill of greater
than one million US gallons in any marine area from operating in the Prince
William Sound. Even though the tanker involved in the spill was
double-hulled, this spill resulted in all tankers ordered to be
double-hulled. To this day, the spill affects the lives of the people living
in the Prince William Sound area. The cleanup has not been successful; more
than 26,000 gals of oil remain on the shoreline and the marine life has not
recovered. Only 10% of the oil was recovered.

 

Even though the environmental groups may have had some effect on the spill
it was the community that took the full brunt of the accident. The Chugach
Alaska Corporation had to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Losses included
recreational sports, fisheries, reduced tourism and of something economists
call "existence value," which is the value to the public of a pristine
Prince William Sound. The economy of Cordova, Alaska was adversely affected
with damage to the herring and salmon stock. Several residents and the mayor
committed suicide.

 

Let's take a look at what happened to the cleanup crew of the Exxon Valdez.
Workers stood in oil foam for 18 hours per day. The boats steered through a
hydrocarbon haze. The workers came from the area fisherman and sportsmen
suddenly jobless. They were hired by Exxon. They were treated for headaches,
nausea, chemical burns, breathing problems. Many or all of them were never
the same after working the summer for Exxon. Most of the workers died young
due to lung disease (asthma, emphysema), liver, pancreatic and spleen
problems. Workers went in 100% healthy and came out sick. Well and vibrant,
they all became sick after a summer of hard work in Prince William Sound.
There were thousands of workers affected by headaches, cancer, rashes,
kidney and liver disease all the result of massive chemical exposure to the
dispersants, solvents and crude oil mix. We may never know how many people
were affected by the Exxon Valdez spill because Exxon and their cleanup
company, Velco Inc., denied government investigators the medical records.

Russia is another country that has had uncontrollable blowouts. They have
had five cratered blowouts. They found that drilling a relief well that
intersects the wild well and then placing and detonating a nuclear device
(which slid the formation across the wild well bore, choking it off) were
successful solutions.

 

In 1963 the Russians had a horrible blowout that lasted three years spewing
twelve million cubic meters of flaming gas each day. Albert Vasiliev
(nuclear physicist and gas well firefighter) said, "We were acting like
surgeons in last resort cases, but it worked." The blowout sounded like 100
jet planes all at once. A nuclear blast choked it off. This method was found
to be effective and they used it on similar cases. Vyacheslav Klishin
(nuclear physicist, gas well firefighter) said, "One needs to tie up the
well where the leak is. There are only two ways: 1. [A relief well to
intersect the wild well, injecting mud and cement into the bore]; 2. A
nuclear explosion." The Russians and other countries are obviously alarmed
by the Gulf catastrophe and have offered their experience and expertise in
wild well control, but Barack Obama and BP have ignored their offers. We can
only infer from this that our government and BP are not going to control the
well. There is an agenda, but what is it?

 

What will happen if the well continues to release 125,000 barrels of oil and
at least 9,000 PSI hydrogen sulfide, benzene and methylene chloride gases
each day? Benzene is the aromatic hydrocarbon component of crude oil, which
is highly toxic and carcinogenic to boot. Acceptable levels are 0 to 4 parts
per billion. In Florida, Alabama and Louisiana they have measured 3,000 ppb
on shore! Hydrogen sulfide is allowable at 5 to 10 parts per billion. In the
above states, H2S has been measured at up to 1,200 ppb. The allowable limit
of methylene chloride is 61 parts per billion. The same states have found
levels as high as 3,000 to 3,400 ppd!

 

The oil flow in the Gulf is equivalent to the Exxon Valdez every two days.
It will follow the currents of the Gulf of Mexico to the shores of
Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Bahamas and the Caribbean. Russian
scientists have said that, once in the Gulf Stream, it will drastically
affect the fishing industry globally. There are millions of families that
have made their livelihoods on fishing, shrimping and crabbing. The
restaurant, hotel and sports businesses based on tourism will be affected.
The chemicals have evaporated into the atmosphere and have condensed,
falling on the plant life, farms and the entire environment surrounding the
Gulf of Mexico causing corrosive lesions on plants and killing the birds. It
is now raining chemicals in Louisiana.

 

There may be more that it has affected so far but this is what we have seen
on the Internet and YouTube. The currents move around the peninsula of
Florida and along the East Coast. This will directly affect more coastal
regions in a similar fashion as what we are seeing in the Gulf. We are
nearing the hurricane season which will drive the toxic mixture inland. The
toxic combination of oil, methane and Corexit will continue to have
detrimental effects on our environment and humanity. It is a carcinogen. The
hydrocarbon fumes and Corexit are causing symptoms which will manifest in
diseases that will afflict plants, animals and humans.

 

People along the coastal regions will become sick and die prematurely.

 

* * *

 

It is ironic that the moral and ethical guidelines for the United Nations'
Wildlands Project are based on the philosophy of "Deep Ecology." Our
government and BP are creating a famine by letting the blowout continue in
its present state. As mentioned above, the EPA objected to the use of
Corexit 9500 but Barack Obama did not step in to stop its use. Greenpeace
has a boat in the Gulf of Mexico performing research. Research is not the
first step that is needed in this life-changing disaster. This is the only
NGO environmental group that I have seen in the mainstream media. They have
not spoken out on the marine life that is being killed daily, nor have they
made any statements on the use of the cancerous chemical Corexit. There is a
report from the Sea Turtle Restoration Project that BP has stopped the
rescue of Kemp's Ridleys that were trapped in the oil. These sea turtles are
being burned with the oil. Burning the oil releases toxic fumes into the
atmosphere.

 

We seem to be witnessing the collapse of the environmental organizations,
none of which has an expected strident position regarding the worst
ecological disaster that the modern world has ever known. Hasn't it been
their self-appointed responsibility to speak out? Are the environmental
organizations taking money from the big polluters?

 

Every step during this disaster appears to be controlled by an unprecedented
amount of greed. Even greed does not figure because so much natural wealth
is being destroyed. What is really going on here?

 

Barack Obama spoke to the nation for the first time last week with confident
assurances that the Gulf coast would be restored to its original condition
eventually. There was no method mentioned. He has made four photo ops trips
to the Gulf region, conferring mainly with BP and local leaders. He did not
speak to the people who reside in the area. The last one I saw was a silent
video showing Obama with a BP cleanup crew relaxing at a picnic table. A
local resident commented, "The cleanup crew was there for appearances only;
their garbage bags were empty. When Obama left, they got on a bus and left,
too."

 

Why do we have a media blackout on a catastrophe that will affect the whole
world? BP has hired the CIA-front company, Wackenhut, to patrol the
shoreline and prevent reporters, residents and visitors from witnessing,
describing and recording the damage. Private thugs are forcing the public
off public beaches.

 

In 1966, The Report from Iron Mountain asked the question: How do you
duplicate the total control over the population in peacetime that you have
during wartime? Written by Leonard Lewin and immediately branded a satire by
government spokesmen, it nevertheless had the ring of truth. We have since
seen all of its extreme programs brought to life by the US government. The
most notable example is the 1992 Agenda for the 21st Century. Agenda 21 is a
United Nations program but it was spearheaded and directly sponsored by
President George H.W. Bush at the Rio Conference. President Bush promised
the attendees that Americans would one day pledge their allegiance to the
United Nations as he made Agenda 21 de facto US policy.

 

Once in office, one of the first things President Clinton did by executive
order was establish the Presidents Council for Sustainable Development. All
aspects of life were covered, though no one in Congress complained or
demanded hearings or any sort of debate. Seventeen years later we see Agenda
21 being quietly enforced in federal, state and local laws and regulations.
Agenda 21 is the framework for world government, imposed on us by our own
town and city councils, our own county supervisors. But it's not called
"Agenda 21" by the planners. It's called "Sustainable Development."

 

"Sustainable Development" is a code word for world government. The term
"world government" is a euphemism for merciless dictatorship. The excuses
are the issues of environmental protection, preservation of water and
anti-pollution. For example, most of America will be designated as
"wildlands" and will be off-limits to Americans. After a severe reduction of
the population, survivors will be highly concentrated into "Smart Growth"
cities, stacked and packed into high-rise housing projects.

 

By reducing the population to the numbers found around the Dark Ages (five
hundred million), government control is thought by the planners to be
manageable. To get down to five hundred million people from our present
population of six billion people will require a ninety-two percent
reduction. The reliable methods of population reduction we saw in the last
century  Capitalist world wars and Communism only achieved reductions in the
hundreds of millions. Famine and genocide in Africa were not sufficiently
destructive. Agenda 21 calls for the slaughter of five and a half billion
people.

 

AIDS has affected its target populations here and in Africa but the Bird
Flu, Swine Flu, Ebola, Lyme disease, BSE (mad cow disease) have not taken
the numbers wanted. These are all, in my opinion, government-created
weapons. Government vaccine programs have not been successful in creating
disease and mortality in the numbers needed. The right combination, however,
of disease and famine could accomplish the goal.

 

The oil flow, blown inland by storms, will create water shortages by
poisoning fresh water sources. People who have been subsistence-living will
no longer have ways to live as they had been doing for generations. Farmers
will lose production due to chemical rain, thus creating food shortages and
famine across America and possibly Mexico and South America. People living
on seafood will have the most difficulty and may die off quickly. Oil
residue has already been seen in seafood in restaurants and grocery stores.
More economic alternative food sources will be sought as the price of
seafood skyrockets.

 

Genetically-altered food sources created by Monsanto will cause disease and
early death. Already the use of Monsanto "suicide seeds" in America has
adversely affected the honey bees. Our honey bee population has been
drastically reduced. Scientists have found that the genetically-altered DNA
has affected bee nervous systems, causing a die off, which is now called
"colony collapse disorder." Without honey bees, pollination ceases and this
will be the end of a natural way of life.

 

There will be migrations to urban areas as the coastal people lose
everything that made their lives worth living. The "Smart Growth"
collectivization of stacking and packing will begin. A single family home
with a yard will be something of the past and longed for. Actually the
packing of people into small areas will increase the spread of diseases and
violence. Two of the tenets of Deep Ecology philosophy in the Wildlands
Project are: The human population must be reduced; western civilization must
radically change its present economic, technological and ideological
structures. Independent entrepreneurs will be things of the past.

 

To support the Wildlands Project we find the American Lands Alliance group
and, at the state level, the creation of the Coalition to Restore Coastal
Louisiana (CRCL), which has turned into a land-grab with the support of the
US Army Corps of Engineers and the Coastal Restoration and Protection
Authority (CRPA). Here is how it works (from "The Louisiana Land-Grab" by
Zack Walley):

 

"The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers has moved to usurp traditional private
property protections in Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin. In a highly
questionable action the USACE has forced conservation easements on the
properties of an untold number of homeowners, farmers, timber producers and
sportsmen in a 338,000 acre area (equaling an area 10 miles wide and 53
miles long).

 

In an attempt to avoid the Fifth Amendment's prohibition against land
takings, the USACE attorney did not refer to these as conservation easements
but called them 'Flowage Development Control and Environmental Protection
Easements' (FLOWAGE) and used some really 'new math' to adjust the
'fair-market value' of the property down from $1,000 per acre to $125."

 

Every day that BP and our government allow the oil to flow and the use of
Corexit, more of the earth will be poisoned. The land won't be worth a
dollar and a quarter, never mind a hundred and a quarter.

 

The marine life that does survive will be contaminated. Recovery of the
areas affected is highly unlikely especially when looking at our past record
in the Exxon Valdez spill. The use of cancer-causing Corexit has made this
disaster many times more toxic than just oil alone.

 

News reporter Kerry Kennedy says the people in the Gulf are experiencing
symptoms of nausea, headaches and burning eyes. Didn't BP learn anything
from Exxon, or did they learn too much? No one is encouraged to wear
respirators and rubber gloves because BP is worried about causing a state of
hysteria, i.e., a state of awareness. The doctors do not know exactly how to
treat the patients coming in since they don't know what chemicals BP is
using. Only band aids and aspirin are provided to the workers in the Gulf by
BP's company doctors. All I can say is that a majority of the Valdez workers
were dead ten years later. The White House has not responded appropriately
so BP as a corporation has taken control of the area without the consent of
the people.

 

Looking at the big picture does put a new light on who is expendable. White
House chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel has said, "Never let a crisis go to
waste." And Obama says we are addicted to oil. (This from a man whose
largest campaign contributor was BP) We would not have to be using so much
oil if so many inventors of alternative energy and free energy had not been
frightened off or killed.

 

Obama's first televised address to the nation was right out of the UN's
Sustainable Development handbook, the comprehensive plan to regulate our
behavior via the federal, state and local levels of government, primarily
the local level. This scheme has been enhanced until recently by the term
"global warming," which was necessarily modified to "global climate change,"
since we now appear to be in a cooling period. Fortunately, the last climate
change conference in Copenhagen failed to produce a new climate change
treaty. At Copenhagen, some of the American conservation groups demanded a
course of action that will lead to environmental disaster faster. BP is
heavily tied to eco-groups like Conservation International and Nature
Conservancy. Real science often is thrown out the window to accommodate the
programs of Big Oil and Big Coal. This will only be tackled when the green
lobbyists in the US stop taking cash from Big Oil and Big Coal.

 

City Paper pointed out that BP spent "hundreds of millions of dollars" to
"transform its image from that of a dirty old oil company into 'Beyond
Petroleum' a company so environmentally friendly it had transcended oil
drilling (and spilling) for happy, sunny and clean technologies such as wind
and solar."

 

They also noted that the environmental groups "trumpeted their ties to
corporations, arguing that these partnerships lead to better corporate
environmental policies and less damage to the planet."

 

That's exactly how the relationship between BP and Conservation
International was framed by ABC's "Nightline" back in 2002".

 

The main objectives are to end national sovereignty, abolition of private
property, the "restructuring" of the family unit, increasing restrictions on
mobility and individual opportunity. Barack Obama's way to do this is with
something he calls "Cap and Trade."

 

I must admit, for the longest time I did not know what "Cap and Trade"
meant. Nothing in those three words suggests anything to do with ecology but
"Cap and Trade" is an environmentally-based scam, an artificial marketplace
designed to reduce pollution by paying people who reduce pollution with
money from polluters. "Cap" refers to limits, or caps, on emissions. So, we
would have an emissions trading system in which total emissions are limited,
or capped. Permits would be allocated or auctioned up to the set cap on
emissions and a market would allow polluting members who are emitting less
than their quotas to sell their excess permits to polluters who need to buy
"credits" to meet their caps. Which is all as totally phony as it sounds,
and as totally phony as "man-made global warming." The globe is warmed by
the sun, or not, if it puts out less heat. Paying money or being paid has
nothing to do with pollution or "greenhouse gasses."

 

What "Cap and Trade" does is to create more restrictions and controls on
people.

 

Some are asking, is there a hidden agenda behind all the foot dragging to
the clean-up and to stopping the spill? At my local library, which covers
Santa Barbara County, I asked the reference librarian to help me find
anything on the Agenda for the 21st Century. What I found was surprising.
There were no books, magazines or videos on this subject. The librarian
found two brief articles and one review article not on the subject of Agenda
21 but on one aspect of it, the Wildlands Project. The buzz words
"Sustainable Development" were used. Nowhere in the public library could one
try to inform himself on the scope of Agenda 21. I suspect that this is the
way it is throughout America. Agenda 21 is literally a hidden agenda.

 

The policymakers have created innocent-sounding catch phrases to capture the
hearts and minds of our educators and their students. It will be the
students who are the spring board to making Agenda 21 possible through
grassroots groups that will carry over to our city councils, town councils
and county boards where the policies are made. All these "Sustainable
Development" policies and regulations have stolen our soul for life for the
communal good. These policies are destroying the soul of life. This is what
we are giving up every time we accept these policies. The first point in the
moral and ethical guidelines for the Wildlands Project is: All life (human
and non-human) has equal value (a minnow is as valuable as man). What we are
giving away is what sets man apart from all other animals, our souls.

 

This is the most devastating disaster that we have known. It will affect
millions of people in the Gulf States, the Eastern Coast and everywhere the
Gulf Stream goes. Agenda 21 is not only for America it is international as a
United Nations policy for the New World Order. But while we still have some
tattered shreds of our Bill of Rights left, each of us who has an ounce of
soul left needs to find out for himself and herself the full extent of
Agenda 21 and how it will impact on your family's life.

 

Agenda 21 has been creeping through each town and city council for 17 years.
The first thing to do is to take a good look at what is happening to the
people who are living in the Gulf States and etch into our brains what will
happen to your family in the near future. Our response to this must be to
seize control of our local institutions, our town and city councils and
county boards of supervisors and force the rejection of any and all
programs, regulations and policies that conform to the United Nations'
Agenda for the 21st Century. Gulf Coast residents must demand non-toxic
forms of clean-up such as bioremediation, i.e., oil-eating microbes.

Comment from Mary Rose:  While this does expose a lot of things, one of the
things I have been thinking about lately is becoming more solution-oriented
using the discussion process.  And since I have become more involved with
the Transition Movement by moving all of the Future Dawning websites, except
for the Admin Center which also serves as an "intake" center for
subscribers, I have discovered that some of the people on the TransitionUs
Social Network site are very good at facilitating the discussions in very
meaningful and solution-oriented ways.  So, I want to guide more people over
to that organization and bring them into the discussions there.  

 

What the Transitioners lack is the awareness of the role human consciousness
plays in achieving social/cultural transformation while they are excellent
in seeing and implementing very rudimentary issues related to achieving
sustainable living.  

 

Which brings me to the above message and what I see in it, and, in
particular as related to Agenda 21.  First of all, if anyone has noticed, I
never write: sustainable development.  This is an oxymoron - it is
impossible to achieve sustainability and have development that is on-going.
One might have redevelopment which means using the same land and doing
things more appropriately on it, but not in capitalizing it with the intent
of making money from it. 

 

The other thing with regard to Agenda 21 is the idea for world trade to be
the end all and be all of economics.  As we have been finding out, it simply
doesn't work.  But if one reads 

through Agenda 21 there is some good stuff in there and when we were going
to do the Hands Across the Border: Operation Lifesave proposal and restore
both the ecology and the economy of Mexico, we were going to apply use
Agenda 21 as the vehicle to get there.

 

So what I am feeling needs to be done here is for a group to take the Agenda
and rewrite it so that it works in the best interests of all concerned.  And
I do not have time to get involved in this right now as I just started to
write in earnest yesterday the program for prison reform which includes the
related issues of rehabilitation, substance abuse and addiction, mental
illness, gardening, transformation, reducing violence in our society,
homelessness, nutrition, awareness, healing, ethnicity, sexual-orientation,
and many other issues that will not reveal themselves until we are more
involved with the program and being to see all of the dynamics.  

 

But what is happening as we move our bases of knowledge closer together, as
has happened between TransitionUS and Future Dawning, is that
"self-organization" is taking place between the two groups and drawing in
more people.  And we are now beginning to think in terms of: seeing the
whole dynamic, pattern recognition, creating leverage, finding intervention
points, etc. , and we are working together at another level of "co-learning"
than we are doing here.  And, it's fun.  Everyone gets to play if they
choose to do so.  We are fast becoming "co-creators" instead of sitting and
pointing fingers at one another or at someone outside of the group.  

 

And the best  part of this is, there is no one up in the front of the room
"teaching" - it is all about becoming learning communities and engaging both
sides of the brain and learning how to entrain it with the heart brain in
order to create the all-knowing, all-seeing holographic mind.  And when
there are all of these holographic minds concentrating their power in one
group and looking for solutions, wow - look out everybody - here we come. 

 

I don't have the link handy right now so you can click and go if you so
choose, but will put it up ASAP.

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS 

 

Welcome Vic Desotelle, a new comer to the Co-learner's list.   While I
wanted to put this comment below yours Vic, I also did not want to cut off
your signature or put it below that.  So, while it might make more sense and
have more continuity to it, I have chosen to respond in this manner.  So,
everyone please check out Vic's comment below mine.    

 

It seems to me that we all are just different shades of grey. . . which fits
into the findings of biologist Carla Hannaford author of "Smart Moves - Why
Learning is Not All In Your Head" and "Brain Dominance - How Knowing Your
Dominant Eye, Ear, Brain, Hand, and Foot Can Improve Your Learning." 

 

Not only does dominance effect learning but what information is allowed into
the human operating system.  What Carla tells us is that there are 32
different dominance patterns that individuals can select from at birth.  And
each of these patterns control how and what information is allowed into our
system by the filters attached to our sensory system.  So each of us
perceives information differently - for instance, 32 people could each view
a car accident and none of them would see it exactly the same.  And, when
putting all of these different versions together, one would have a highly
convoluted perception of the accident.  So, how to weed out truth from
fiction sometimes becomes difficult.  

 

But understanding how our operating system works also makes it easier for us
to learn how to configure it for optimum performance.  And, since we are in
control with our mind, the manner in which we are configured can also be
changed.  We may, in fact, choose to have "multiple personalities" and each
of these personalities could choose to appear with a different eye color.
In her book, "Molecules of Emotion," Dr. Candace Pert writes of her
feelings, based on her research of the human body/mind field, that it is
normal to have more than one personality.  

 

And, please pardon me if I seem to have wandered off topic here -- this just
falls into my belief that there are no beginnings or endings - that
everything is just one big continiuum.

Yes. I do believe that, as a cultural creative, there is a shady side to our
own behavior. And we have to keep it in check. Our unconscious manipulation
of the truth into a conspiratory nature is just as 'evil' in my view, as the
actual conspiracies that are actually happening. We must awaken to the whole
picture and find better ways to build relationships across the chasm of old
and emerging new worlds. This is much more difficult than making evil
evident.

After I sent this message, it dawned on me that this is false information.
The reason I know?  Because I just happen to have contact with a person who
owns technology similar to that mentioned in this video. And, I was told
that it is being used in the Gulf at this time to help separate the oil.
Maybe it's also time we woke up to the fact that Brasscheck is one of the

Some serious mysteries and unanswered questions

The strange thing is that not only are they not
being addressed in the mainstream news, they're
also not being raised by the so-called conspiracy

Vatican Revises Abuse Process, but Causes Stir
July 16, 2010, New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/16/world/europe/16vatican.html

The Vatican issued revisions to its internal laws on [July 15] making it easier to discipline sex-abuser priests, but caused confusion by also stating that ordaining women as priests was as grave an offense as pedophilia. The decision to link the issues appears to reflect the determination of embattled Vatican leaders to resist any suggestion that pedophilia within the priesthood can be addressed by ending the celibacy requirement or by allowing women to become priests. The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said the changes showed the church?s commitment to tackling child sexual abuse with ?rigor and transparency.? Those measures fell short of the hopes of many advocates for victims of priestly abuse, who dismissed them as ?tweaking? rather than a bold overhaul. The new rules do not, for example, hold bishops accountable for abuse by priests on their watch, nor do they require them to report sexual abuse to civil authorities. But what astonished many Catholics was the inclusion of the attempt to ordain women in a list of the ?more grave delicts,? or offenses, which included pedophilia, as well as heresy, apostasy and schism. The issue, some critics said, was less the ordination of women, which is not discussed seriously inside the church hierarchy, but the Vatican?s suggestion that pedophilia is a comparable crime in a document billed a response to the sexual abuse crisis.

BofA Admits Hiding Debt
July 10, 2010, Wall Street Journal
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704799604575357421366347624.html

Bank of America Corp. admitted to making six transactions that incorrectly hid from view billions of dollars of debt. The disclosure, made in a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission, comes as the agency prepares to unveil the results of an inquiry into banks' accounting for borrowing deals known as repurchase agreements, or "repos." BofA's letter was sent in April in response to the inquiry, but this is the first time the details of the six trades in question have been disclosed. The bank had acknowledged in its last quarterly report that its accounting for the transactions, made at the ends of quarters from 2007 to 2009, was incorrect. The bank's disclosure also suggests the trades may be an example of end-of-quarter "window dressing" on Wall Street, in which banks temporarily shed debt just before reporting their finances to the public. The practice ... suggests the banks are carrying more risk most of the time than their investors or customers can easily see, and then juggling it during quarter-end reporting of financials.

Diabetes Drug Maker Hid Test Data, Files Indicate
July 13, 2010, New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/13/health/policy/13avandia.html

In the fall of 1999, the drug giant SmithKline Beecham secretly began a study to find out if its diabetes medicine, Avandia, was safer for the heart than a competing pill, Actos, made by Takeda. Avandia?s success was crucial to SmithKline, whose labs were otherwise all but barren of new products. But the study?s results, completed that same year, were disastrous. Not only was Avandia no better than Actos, but the study also provided clear signs that it was riskier to the heart. But instead of publishing the results, the company spent the next 11 years trying to cover them up, according to documents recently obtained by The New York Times. The company did not post the results on its Web site or submit them to federal drug regulators, as is required in most cases by law. The heart risks from Avandia first became public in May 2007, with a study from a cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic who used data the company was forced by a lawsuit to post on its own Web site. In the ensuing months, GlaxoSmithKline officials conceded that they had known of the drug?s potential heart attack risks since at least 2005. But the latest documents demonstrate that the company had data hinting at Avandia?s extensive heart problems almost as soon as the drug was introduced in 1999, and sought intensively to keep those risks from becoming public.

UFO in China's Skies Prompts Investigation
July 14, 2010, ABC News
http://abcnews.go.com/International/ufo-china-closes-airport-prompts-investigation/story?id=11159531

An unidentified flying object forced Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, China to cease operations on July 7. A flight crew preparing for descent first detected the object around 8:40 p.m. and notified the air traffic control department. Aviation authorities responded within minutes, grounding outbound flights and diverting inbound ones. Eighteen flights were affected. Though normal operations resumed an hour later, the incident captured the attention of the Chinese media and sparked a firestorm of speculation on the UFO's identity. Fueling speculations further, Hangzhou residents released photos, taken in the afternoon before the delays, of a hovering object bathed in golden light and exhibiting a comet-like tail. Less than an hour before the Xiaoshan airport shut down, residents said they also saw a flying object emitting red and white rays of light. The Hangzhou incident comes after a string of recent UFO sightings in China. On June 30, residents in Xinjiang province saw a flying object bathed in a fan of white light. Sightings have also been reported in Hunan, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces.

Katrina Cover-Up: Cops May Face Death Penalty
July 14, 2010, ABC News/Associated Press
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/orleans-police-face-death-penalty-hurricane-katrina-bridge/story?id=11160077

Four police officers, charged with shooting and killing two unarmed civilians on a bridge in the days after Hurricane Katrina, could face the death penalty. Those four officers and two others are accused of gunning down citizens and trying to cover it up. Five other former police officers have already pleaded guilty to helping cover up the killings , bringing the total to 11 charged so far. The entire New Orleans police department is under investigation, stemming from allegations of misconduct. Initially, police said they fired in self-defense. [On July 13] the Justice Department said that statement was based on a lie, and that the officers shot civilians without cause and planted a gun at the scene as part of an elaborate cover-up, which included creating fictional witnesses and falsifying police reports. Tuesday's charges come one month after five current or former New Orleans police officers were accused of fatally shooting 31-year-old resident Henry Glover, and then burning his body in a car to cover up the crime.

State Supreme Court allows price-fixing suit
July 13, 2010, San Francisco Chronicle (San Francisco's leading newspaper)
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/07/12/BUR31ED6VO.DTL

California retailers who accuse manufacturers of scheming to inflate prices scored a significant legal victory [on July 12] when the state Supreme Court allowed them to sue for triple damages despite their ability to pass higher charges along to customers. The court unanimously reinstated a price-fixing suit by a group of pharmacies that accused major drug companies of conspiring to overcharge purchasers by as much as 400 percent from 2000 to 2004. While denying the allegations, the companies also argued that pharmacists could avoid any damages by raising their own prices. Overturning lower-court rulings that dismissed the suit, the court said a "pass-on" defense - allowing manufacturers to avoid damages for illegal overcharges that could be passed on to consumers - is unavailable in California. Justice Kathryn Mickle Werdegar ... said enforcement of the law is promoted by allowing a retailer or wholesaler who buys directly from the manufacturer to seek damages - tripled under antitrust law - for overcharges caused by price-fixing. If such suits were prohibited, Werdegar said, overcharged retailers would have to choose between absorbing the losses or raising their prices and potentially losing sales. Such a ban might allow manufacturers to fix prices with impunity, Werdegar said, because individual consumers' losses might be too small to make a suit worthwhile.

Swiss Reject U.S. Request to Extradite Polanski
July 13, 2010, New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/13/movies/13polanski.html

Switzerland announced [on July 12] that it would not extradite [Roman] Polanski, a famous film director, to the United States in part because of fresh doubts over the conduct of the judge in his original trial. ?He?s a free man,? the Swiss justice minister, Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf, said at a news conference on Monday. The French foreign minister, Bernard Kouchner, said he was ?delighted? and deeply relieved by the ruling. Samantha Geimer, who at 13 was Mr. Polanski?s victim in the original sex case, has long disclosed her identity and called to end the prosecution. The decision to free Mr. Polanski was a sharp defeat for prosecutors in Los Angeles. Steve Cooley, the Los Angeles County district attorney, is the Republican candidate for state attorney general. The turning point in the case occurred in mid-March, when Mr. Polanski?s lawyers disclosed in an appeals brief that Roger Gunson, a now-retired lawyer who originally prosecuted the case, had given sealed testimony describing a plan by Judge Laurence J. Rittenband, the original judge, to limit Mr. Polanski?s sentence to a 90-day psychiatric evaluation, a portion of which Mr. Polanski had served during his 42 days in Chino State Prison. Mr. Gunson, who gave the testimony in January, also described his own reservations about the handling of the case by Judge Rittenband, who is now deceased.

After recession, middle and working classes lose ground
July 13, 2010, Christian Science Monitor

Missing from almost all discussion of America?s dizzying rate of unemployment is the brute fact that hourly wages of people with jobs have been dropping, adjusted for inflation. Average weekly earnings rose a bit this spring only because the typical worker put in more hours, but June?s decline in average hours pushed weekly paychecks down at an annualized rate of 4.5 percent. In other words, Americans are keeping their jobs or finding new ones only by accepting lower wages. Meanwhile, a much smaller group of Americans? earnings are back in the stratosphere: Wall Street traders and executives, hedge-fund and private-equity fund managers, and top corporate executives. As hiring has picked up on the Street, fat salaries are reappearing. We?re back to the same ominous trend as before the Great Recession: a larger and larger share of total income going to the very top while the vast middle class continues to lose ground. And as long as this trend continues, we can?t get out of the shadow of the Great Recession. When most of the gains from economic growth go to a small sliver of Americans at the top, the rest don?t have enough purchasing power to buy what the economy is capable of producing.

General who said it was 'fun to shoot people' takes over US Central Command

A senior US general once criticised for saying it was "fun to shoot some people" has been picked to take over US Central Command, leading the military command running the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. General James Mattis, the current head of the US Joint Forces Command ... previously led troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Centcom ... covers 20 countries and stretches from Egypt across the Middle East and into south and central Asia. Gen Mattis was reprimanded [in 2005] by the Marine Corps for telling a conference in San Diego, California: "It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up front with you, I like brawling." During a discussion panel he said: "You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil.

For this club, life begins at 50 (%)
July 29, 2007, Boston Globe
http://www.boston.com/business/globe/articles/2007/07/29/for_this_club_life_begins_at_50_/

When David Ludlow's wife died in a climbing accident 11 years ago, her death transformed him into a multimillionaire: He inherited Vanda Sendzimir's share of her family fortune, a $5 million trust that generates an annual interest of about $300,000. Then a freelance photographer with a passion for social justice issues, the Jamaica Plain man was plunged into a swirl of shock, guilt, and confusion. "I've always been very left-wing politically and all of a sudden I was living incredible inequality," said Ludlow, 64. "Suddenly I was in the upper 1 percent of the population in terms of wealth, and I felt terrible about that for a long time." So he did something radical, and something that many people might consider insane: He decided to give away half his annual income. In doing so, Ludlow joined a small, unusual, and growing community: The 50% League, an Arlington-based group of people who contribute at least half their income, business profits, or net worth to charity. Members from across the country have been welcomed into an elite circle of givers and asked to share their stories publicly, even if anonymously, to inspire other givers. "I feel incredibly privileged, and I still feel guilty about that," said Ludlow, who has used much of the money he inherited from his late wife ... to fund grass-roots groups led by low-income people of color. "But it's given me tremendous meaning in my life to give as much as I can away."

World's richest 1% own 40% of all wealth, UN report discovers
December 6, 2006, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2006/dec/06/business.internationalnews

The richest 1% of adults in the world own 40% of the planet's wealth, according to the largest study yet of wealth distribution. The report also finds that those in financial services and the internet sectors predominate among the super rich. Europe, the US and some Asia Pacific nations account for most of the extremely wealthy. More than a third live in the US. Japan accounts for 27% of the total, the UK for 6% and France for 5%. The global study - from the World Institute for Development Economics Research of the United Nations - is the first to chart wealth distribution in every country as opposed to just income, for which more comprehensive date is available. It included all the most significant components of household wealth, including financial assets and debts, land, buildings and other tangible property. Together these total $125 trillion globally. The report found the richest 10% of adults accounted for 85% of the world total of global assets. Half the world's adult population, however, owned barely 1% of global wealth. "These levels of inequality are grotesque," said Duncan Green, head of research at Oxfam. "It is impossible to justify such vast wealth when 800 million people go to bed hungry every night."

Tesla: The Missing Papers
April, 2004, PBS
http://www.pbs.org/tesla/ll/ll_mispapers.html

One of the more controversial topics involving Nikola Tesla is what became of many of his technical and scientific papers after he died in 1943. Just before his death at the height of World War II, he claimed that he had perfected his so-called "death beam." So it was natural that the FBI and other U.S. Government agencies would be interested in any scientific ideas involving weaponry. The morning after the inventor's death, his nephew Sava Kosanovic? hurried to his uncle's room at the Hotel New Yorker. By the time he arrived, Tesla's body had already been removed, and Kosanovic? suspected that someone had already gone through his uncle's effects. Technical papers were missing as well as a black notebook he knew Tesla kept -? a notebook with several hundred pages, some of which were marked "Government." Just after World War II, there was a renewed interest in beam weapons. Copies of Tesla's papers on particle beam weaponry were sent to Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. An operation code-named "Project Nick" was heavily funded and placed under the command of Brigadier General L. C. Craigie to test the feasibility of Tesla's concept. Details of the experiments were never published, and the project was apparently discontinued. But something peculiar happened. The copies of Tesla's papers disappeared and nobody knows what happened to them.

Message-ID: <001501cb27ac$bd93f680$38bbe380$@net>

Thanks, Vic.  What you are saying here then is that we really do create our
own reality.  And, if we don't like what we have created we can choose
again.  But as a collective, we have to all agree.  It's like with the money
system --  we agreed upon capitalism for awhile, but have discovered it
isn't working for us, so we are now moving into a new consensus but have
not, as yet, arrived at what the actual system will look like.     

 

In his book, "The Dance of Life," Vern Woolf says the same thing - that this
is all make believe and we come here out of boredom in order to "play the
game" (my words) so as to learn from it.

Yes. And one other point that comes up when reading yours below Mary Rose: I
see 'truth' as a collective agreement that changes over time and under
altered conditions. Something is only true once a portion of the population
believes it. Until then, it is false - at least in the hand of a society's
authority. A change in truths and beliefs, and thereby values, is how new
cultural myths emerge. Myth is not good or bad; it is neutral (Note this
view is a misperception in the collective norm ;) Myth is the underlying
(usually unconscious) force that drives most, if not all, decisions of a
society. The reason that 'truth' is such a touchy subject these days (i.e.
we trust no one, especially those in authority), is because of the global
collective upheaval of perceptions. Most understand this state of being as
'chaos', which lives within the chasm between present and future
enculturation - a paradigm shift. We are in a time between the shift from
old to new myths. Only this time, I pray we collectively become conscious of
the act of myth change, rather than our past where myth was an outcome of
change, and not a driver of it.

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS 
 
Welcome Vic Desotelle, a new comer to the Co-learner's list.   While I
wanted to put this comment below yours Vic, I also did not want to cut off
your signature or put it below that.  So, while it might make more sense and
have more continuity to it, I have chosen to respond in this manner.  So,
everyone please check out Vic's comment below mine.    
 
It seems to me that we all are just different shades of grey. . . which fits
into the findings of biologist Carla Hannaford author of "Smart Moves - Why
Learning is Not All In Your Head" and "Brain Dominance - How Knowing Your
Dominant Eye, Ear, Brain, Hand, and Foot Can Improve Your Learning." 
 
Not only does dominance effect learning but what information is allowed into
the human operating system.  What Carla tells us is that there are 32
different dominance patterns that individuals can select from at birth.  And
each of these patterns control how and what information is allowed into our
system by the filters attached to our sensory system.  So each of us
perceives information differently - for instance, 32 people could each view
a car accident and none of them would see it exactly the same.  And, when
putting all of these different versions together, one would have a highly
convoluted perception of the accident.  So, how to weed out truth from
fiction sometimes becomes difficult.  
 
But understanding how our operating system works also makes it easier for us
to learn how to configure it for optimum performance.  And, since we are in
control with our mind, the manner in which we are configured can also be
changed.  We may, in fact, choose to have "multiple personalities" and each
of these personalities could choose to appear with a different eye color.
In her book, "Molecules of Emotion," Dr. Candace Pert writes of her
feelings, based on her research of the human body/mind field, that it is
normal to have more than one personality.  
 
And, please pardon me if I seem to have wandered off topic here -- this just
falls into my belief that there are no beginnings or endings - that
everything is just one big continiuum.

Yes. I do believe that, as a cultural creative, there is a shady side to our
own behavior. And we have to keep it in check. Our unconscious manipulation
of the truth into a conspiratory nature is just as 'evil' in my view, as the
actual conspiracies that are actually happening. We must awaken to the whole
picture and find better ways to build relationships across the chasm of old
and emerging new worlds. This is much more difficult than making evil
evident.

After I sent this message, it dawned on me that this is false information.
The reason I know?  Because I just happen to have contact with a person who
owns technology similar to that mentioned in this video. And, I was told
that it is being used in the Gulf at this time to help separate the oil.
Maybe it's also time we woke up to the fact that Brasscheck is one of the
faces of the military-industrial complex and a propaganda source.

Some serious mysteries and unanswered questions
are arising from the BP oil spill.

The strange thing is that not only are they not
being addressed in the mainstream news, they're
also not being raised by the so-called conspiracy

"President Obama stood by but did not take action for at least three weeks
after the spill;"

 

What nonsense. The Coast Guard was on the scene within a short number of
hours. It's part of the military. Obama is the commander in chief.

 

This is just libertarian poling up bs and cherry picking the facts to
construct another conspiracy theory.

 

Tim

 

M.R.  Tim, thanks for your comment.   

 

Someone else who prefers to remain anonymous wrote in regard to this
message:  "the piece by Robbi Skye Campbell, if you parse her paragraphs
carefully, you'll find many statements that are unsupportable. The sad thing
is that they are interspersed with important, supportable statements."   Of
course, this is the manner in which the propagandist works - and as someone
else wrote: things become so convoluted that we don't know what is truth and
what is lies.  And, as long as we remain confused, which is the idea, they
remain in control. 

 

I have known for years that Conservation International and The Nature
Conservancy were front groups for the elite designed to get a hold of prime
property via the cover of the NGO status and then move it into a position
where it could be turned into a luxury resorts, etc..  And it is things like
this that have allowed  1% of the population to gain control 40% of the
country's wealth.  But this is also why the elite want to ensure that
private property rights are maintained - so they can continue to gain
control of the best of the best and exploit it.  And, this is also why it
was so important for the corporations to have the rights of personhood.   

 

While I feel Tim is right with regard to President Obama, and that either
the libertarians or the repubs, or both, are doing this, I do not believe it
is all "conspiracy theory."  We do know that President Wilson, by his own
admission, made a terrible error when he allowed the Federal Reserve system
to come into being and that there is a "they" who are in control and what is
happening here in the U.S. today is much like what took place in Nazi
Germany.  And we also know that George W. Bush's grandparents on both sides
of the family were involved and censored by the U.S. Senate for the roles
they played in Germany in World War II and in the concentration camps, and
how they made money from these endeavors.  Bush, Sr.  was also buddy buddy
with Noriega as well.  And, while Clinton was made to look very bad in
office, he certainly left the presidency with a lot of money in the pot - a
huge surplus - but how long did it take for "the little Bush" to use it all
up and look where we are now.

Treachery In The Gulf 
By Robbi Skye Campbell
6-29-10

 

What has happened in the Gulf of Mexico was not by accident. It was most
likely a design to support an agenda. What that agenda is we do not know
exactly but I will try to connect the dots. We may soon know the true extent
of its nature by the "solutions" our government imposes on the people in the
Gulf area.

 

There are some major problems:

 

The Obama administration allowed BP to drill at an unstable site (highly
over pressured) in 5,000 feet of water;

 

BP CEO Tony Hayward dumped his BP stock 2 months before the spill;

 

The well was kicking since they drilled into the production zone, so the
drilling fluid or mud was underbalanced (mud weight not quite heavy enough
for the upward pressure of the gas);

 

Goldman Sachs dumped 44% of BP stock and went short on Transocean stock the
day before the spill;

 

The drilling crew knew that the annular blowout preventer was damaged and BP
company man Kazula did not order it repaired;

 

BP company man Kazula was a greenhorn on the Deepwater Horizon (he was
inexperienced);

 

The well was cased, cemented and had two cement abandonment plugs in place,
so how could the well be kicking (trying to blow out)?;

 

BP company man Kazula sent away the Schlumberger team (supposed to do the
cement bond log to check Halliburton's cement job on the casing);

 

Despite this the BP company man made the decision to change the mud over to
seawater (seawater is 40% lighter than the drilling mud). This is not
logical;

 

Shouting match between the rig superintendent and the company man.
Superintendent felt that the order to change over to seawater was irrational
and suicidal;

 

During the changeover of the mud to seawater is when the blowout naturally
occurred;

 

President Obama stood by but did not take action for at least three weeks
after the spill;

 

BP and the White House allowed the spill to continue;

 

The White House allowed BP to spray the highly toxic chemical, Corexit 9500,
which is considered to be four to ten times more toxic than the oil itself.
EPA told BP not to use Corexit 9500 and BP ignored the federal agency.
Corexit is being sprayed at nighttime on coastal residences by the
CIA-front, Evergreen Air (which reportedly also sprays chemtrails);

 

Negligible cleanup measures on the shores and at sea;

 

Barack Obama sent SWAT teams to production platforms and drilling rigs;

 

Obama sent the Army and National Guard into the Gulf States for what reason?

 

Suppression of investigative reporting of the spill;

 

BP arrested people taking pictures of the area;

 

BP is allowed to reap the benefit of gathering oil rather than stopping the
spill;

 

Interests and livelihood of the residents suppressed and not considered in
decisions;

 

President Obama is using the spill to get the "Cap and Trade" bill passed;

 

Twenty-two countries have offered their experience in spill control and
cleanup but neither our government nor BP has accepted their offers;

 

BP and Obama have declined to use non-toxic microbes as a clean-up measure;

 

BP company man Kazula invoked the Fifth Amendment under congressional
questioning of his orders.

 

 

Where are the environmental groups? The Santa Barbara spill in 1969 was from
an offshore drilling rig in the Santa Barbara Channel. It was a blowout on
Union Oil's platform A; over ten days it was estimated that 80,000 to
100,000 barrels of crude oil spilled into the channel and onto the beaches
from Goleta to Rincon and all four Channel Islands. The oil spill prompted a
congressional moratorium in 1981 on new offshore oil leasing with exceptions
of the Gulf of Mexico and parts of offshore Alaska that remained in effect
until 2008 when Congress did not renew it.

 

This was the coming out of environmental groups. At the same time Friends of
the Earth was heavily supported by BP, ARCO, and EXXON in its litigation
against those companies to prevent the completion of the Alaska Pipeline
until the price of oil was raised by the Ayatollah in 1978. Friends of the
Earth then withdrew is lawsuit and the pipeline was allowed to begin
transporting much more valuable oil.

 

In 1989 we saw the Exxon Valdez spill which was the largest oil spill at
10.8 million gallons (250,000 barrels) when it hit the Prince William
Sound's Bligh Reef. Others estimated a far greater amount, closer to 30
million gallons. It was considered to be one of the most devastating
environmental disasters. The tanker's Rayas sonar was not turned on. It was
broken and disabled for longer than one year and was considered too
expensive to repair or replace. The environmental groups were all over them,
and the media piled on.

 

The Exxon Valdez crew was criticized for its slow response. The
environmental groups were powerful and their voices were heard. In response
to this spill the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) was passed by Congress. It
prohibited after 22 MAR 1989 any vessel that has caused a spill of greater
than one million US gallons in any marine area from operating in the Prince
William Sound. Even though the tanker involved in the spill was
double-hulled, this spill resulted in all tankers ordered to be
double-hulled. To this day, the spill affects the lives of the people living
in the Prince William Sound area. The cleanup has not been successful; more
than 26,000 gals of oil remain on the shoreline and the marine life has not
recovered. Only 10% of the oil was recovered.

 

Even though the environmental groups may have had some effect on the spill
it was the community that took the full brunt of the accident. The Chugach
Alaska Corporation had to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Losses included
recreational sports, fisheries, reduced tourism and of something economists
call "existence value," which is the value to the public of a pristine
Prince William Sound. The economy of Cordova, Alaska was adversely affected
with damage to the herring and salmon stock. Several residents and the mayor
committed suicide.

 

Let's take a look at what happened to the cleanup crew of the Exxon Valdez.
Workers stood in oil foam for 18 hours per day. The boats steered through a
hydrocarbon haze. The workers came from the area fisherman and sportsmen
suddenly jobless. They were hired by Exxon. They were treated for headaches,
nausea, chemical burns, breathing problems. Many or all of them were never
the same after working the summer for Exxon. Most of the workers died young
due to lung disease (asthma, emphysema), liver, pancreatic and spleen
problems. Workers went in 100% healthy and came out sick. Well and vibrant,
they all became sick after a summer of hard work in Prince William Sound.
There were thousands of workers affected by headaches, cancer, rashes,
kidney and liver disease all the result of massive chemical exposure to the
dispersants, solvents and crude oil mix. We may never know how many people
were affected by the Exxon Valdez spill because Exxon and their cleanup
company, Velco Inc., denied government investigators the medical records.

Russia is another country that has had uncontrollable blowouts. They have
had five cratered blowouts. They found that drilling a relief well that
intersects the wild well and then placing and detonating a nuclear device
(which slid the formation across the wild well bore, choking it off) were
successful solutions.

 

In 1963 the Russians had a horrible blowout that lasted three years spewing
twelve million cubic meters of flaming gas each day. Albert Vasiliev
(nuclear physicist and gas well firefighter) said, "We were acting like
surgeons in last resort cases, but it worked." The blowout sounded like 100
jet planes all at once. A nuclear blast choked it off. This method was found
to be effective and they used it on similar cases. Vyacheslav Klishin
(nuclear physicist, gas well firefighter) said, "One needs to tie up the
well where the leak is. There are only two ways: 1. [A relief well to
intersect the wild well, injecting mud and cement into the bore]; 2. A
nuclear explosion." The Russians and other countries are obviously alarmed
by the Gulf catastrophe and have offered their experience and expertise in
wild well control, but Barack Obama and BP have ignored their offers. We can
only infer from this that our government and BP are not going to control the
well. There is an agenda, but what is it?

 

What will happen if the well continues to release 125,000 barrels of oil and
at least 9,000 PSI hydrogen sulfide, benzene and methylene chloride gases
each day? Benzene is the aromatic hydrocarbon component of crude oil, which
is highly toxic and carcinogenic to boot. Acceptable levels are 0 to 4 parts
per billion. In Florida, Alabama and Louisiana they have measured 3,000 ppb
on shore! Hydrogen sulfide is allowable at 5 to 10 parts per billion. In the
above states, H2S has been measured at up to 1,200 ppb. The allowable limit
of methylene chloride is 61 parts per billion. The same states have found
levels as high as 3,000 to 3,400 ppd!

 

The oil flow in the Gulf is equivalent to the Exxon Valdez every two days.
It will follow the currents of the Gulf of Mexico to the shores of
Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Bahamas and the Caribbean. Russian
scientists have said that, once in the Gulf Stream, it will drastically
affect the fishing industry globally. There are millions of families that
have made their livelihoods on fishing, shrimping and crabbing. The
restaurant, hotel and sports businesses based on tourism will be affected.
The chemicals have evaporated into the atmosphere and have condensed,
falling on the plant life, farms and the entire environment surrounding the
Gulf of Mexico causing corrosive lesions on plants and killing the birds. It
is now raining chemicals in Louisiana.

 

There may be more that it has affected so far but this is what we have seen
on the Internet and YouTube. The currents move around the peninsula of
Florida and along the East Coast. This will directly affect more coastal
regions in a similar fashion as what we are seeing in the Gulf. We are
nearing the hurricane season which will drive the toxic mixture inland. The
toxic combination of oil, methane and Corexit will continue to have
detrimental effects on our environment and humanity. It is a carcinogen. The
hydrocarbon fumes and Corexit are causing symptoms which will manifest in
diseases that will afflict plants, animals and humans.

 

People along the coastal regions will become sick and die prematurely.

 

* * *

 

It is ironic that the moral and ethical guidelines for the United Nations'
Wildlands Project are based on the philosophy of "Deep Ecology." Our
government and BP are creating a famine by letting the blowout continue in
its present state. As mentioned above, the EPA objected to the use of
Corexit 9500 but Barack Obama did not step in to stop its use. Greenpeace
has a boat in the Gulf of Mexico performing research. Research is not the
first step that is needed in this life-changing disaster. This is the only
NGO environmental group that I have seen in the mainstream media. They have
not spoken out on the marine life that is being killed daily, nor have they
made any statements on the use of the cancerous chemical Corexit. There is a
report from the Sea Turtle Restoration Project that BP has stopped the
rescue of Kemp's Ridleys that were trapped in the oil. These sea turtles are
being burned with the oil. Burning the oil releases toxic fumes into the
atmosphere.

 

We seem to be witnessing the collapse of the environmental organizations,
none of which has an expected strident position regarding the worst
ecological disaster that the modern world has ever known. Hasn't it been
their self-appointed responsibility to speak out? Are the environmental
organizations taking money from the big polluters?

 

Every step during this disaster appears to be controlled by an unprecedented
amount of greed. Even greed does not figure because so much natural wealth
is being destroyed. What is really going on here?

 

Barack Obama spoke to the nation for the first time last week with confident
assurances that the Gulf coast would be restored to its original condition
eventually. There was no method mentioned. He has made four photo ops trips
to the Gulf region, conferring mainly with BP and local leaders. He did not
speak to the people who reside in the area. The last one I saw was a silent
video showing Obama with a BP cleanup crew relaxing at a picnic table. A
local resident commented, "The cleanup crew was there for appearances only;
their garbage bags were empty. When Obama left, they got on a bus and left,
too."

 

Why do we have a media blackout on a catastrophe that will affect the whole
world? BP has hired the CIA-front company, Wackenhut, to patrol the
shoreline and prevent reporters, residents and visitors from witnessing,
describing and recording the damage. Private thugs are forcing the public
off public beaches.

 

In 1966, The Report from Iron Mountain asked the question: How do you
duplicate the total control over the population in peacetime that you have
during wartime? Written by Leonard Lewin and immediately branded a satire by
government spokesmen, it nevertheless had the ring of truth. We have since
seen all of its extreme programs brought to life by the US government. The
most notable example is the 1992 Agenda for the 21st Century. Agenda 21 is a
United Nations program but it was spearheaded and directly sponsored by
President George H.W. Bush at the Rio Conference. President Bush promised
the attendees that Americans would one day pledge their allegiance to the
United Nations as he made Agenda 21 de facto US policy.

 

Once in office, one of the first things President Clinton did by executive
order was establish the Presidents Council for Sustainable Development. All
aspects of life were covered, though no one in Congress complained or
demanded hearings or any sort of debate. Seventeen years later we see Agenda
21 being quietly enforced in federal, state and local laws and regulations.
Agenda 21 is the framework for world government, imposed on us by our own
town and city councils, our own county supervisors. But it's not called
"Agenda 21" by the planners. It's called "Sustainable Development."

 

"Sustainable Development" is a code word for world government. The term
"world government" is a euphemism for merciless dictatorship. The excuses
are the issues of environmental protection, preservation of water and
anti-pollution. For example, most of America will be designated as
"wildlands" and will be off-limits to Americans. After a severe reduction of
the population, survivors will be highly concentrated into "Smart Growth"
cities, stacked and packed into high-rise housing projects.

 

By reducing the population to the numbers found around the Dark Ages (five
hundred million), government control is thought by the planners to be
manageable. To get down to five hundred million people from our present
population of six billion people will require a ninety-two percent
reduction. The reliable methods of population reduction we saw in the last
century  Capitalist world wars and Communism only achieved reductions in the
hundreds of millions. Famine and genocide in Africa were not sufficiently
destructive. Agenda 21 calls for the slaughter of five and a half billion
people.

 

AIDS has affected its target populations here and in Africa but the Bird
Flu, Swine Flu, Ebola, Lyme disease, BSE (mad cow disease) have not taken
the numbers wanted. These are all, in my opinion, government-created
weapons. Government vaccine programs have not been successful in creating
disease and mortality in the numbers needed. The right combination, however,
of disease and famine could accomplish the goal.

 

The oil flow, blown inland by storms, will create water shortages by
poisoning fresh water sources. People who have been subsistence-living will
no longer have ways to live as they had been doing for generations. Farmers
will lose production due to chemical rain, thus creating food shortages and
famine across America and possibly Mexico and South America. People living
on seafood will have the most difficulty and may die off quickly. Oil
residue has already been seen in seafood in restaurants and grocery stores.
More economic alternative food sources will be sought as the price of
seafood skyrockets.

 

Genetically-altered food sources created by Monsanto will cause disease and
early death. Already the use of Monsanto "suicide seeds" in America has
adversely affected the honey bees. Our honey bee population has been
drastically reduced. Scientists have found that the genetically-altered DNA
has affected bee nervous systems, causing a die off, which is now called
"colony collapse disorder." Without honey bees, pollination ceases and this
will be the end of a natural way of life.

 

There will be migrations to urban areas as the coastal people lose
everything that made their lives worth living. The "Smart Growth"
collectivization of stacking and packing will begin. A single family home
with a yard will be something of the past and longed for. Actually the
packing of people into small areas will increase the spread of diseases and
violence. Two of the tenets of Deep Ecology philosophy in the Wildlands
Project are: The human population must be reduced; western civilization must
radically change its present economic, technological and ideological
structures. Independent entrepreneurs will be things of the past.

 

To support the Wildlands Project we find the American Lands Alliance group
and, at the state level, the creation of the Coalition to Restore Coastal
Louisiana (CRCL), which has turned into a land-grab with the support of the
US Army Corps of Engineers and the Coastal Restoration and Protection
Authority (CRPA). Here is how it works (from "The Louisiana Land-Grab" by
Zack Walley):

 

"The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers has moved to usurp traditional private
property protections in Louisiana's Atchafalaya Basin. In a highly
questionable action the USACE has forced conservation easements on the
properties of an untold number of homeowners, farmers, timber producers and
sportsmen in a 338,000 acre area (equaling an area 10 miles wide and 53
miles long).

 

In an attempt to avoid the Fifth Amendment's prohibition against land
takings, the USACE attorney did not refer to these as conservation easements
but called them 'Flowage Development Control and Environmental Protection
Easements' (FLOWAGE) and used some really 'new math' to adjust the
'fair-market value' of the property down from $1,000 per acre to $125."

 

Every day that BP and our government allow the oil to flow and the use of
Corexit, more of the earth will be poisoned. The land won't be worth a
dollar and a quarter, never mind a hundred and a quarter.

 

The marine life that does survive will be contaminated. Recovery of the
areas affected is highly unlikely especially when looking at our past record
in the Exxon Valdez spill. The use of cancer-causing Corexit has made this
disaster many times more toxic than just oil alone.

 

News reporter Kerry Kennedy says the people in the Gulf are experiencing
symptoms of nausea, headaches and burning eyes. Didn't BP learn anything
from Exxon, or did they learn too much? No one is encouraged to wear
respirators and rubber gloves because BP is worried about causing a state of
hysteria, i.e., a state of awareness. The doctors do not know exactly how to
treat the patients coming in since they don't know what chemicals BP is
using. Only band aids and aspirin are provided to the workers in the Gulf by
BP's company doctors. All I can say is that a majority of the Valdez workers
were dead ten years later. The White House has not responded appropriately
so BP as a corporation has taken control of the area without the consent of
the people.

 

Looking at the big picture does put a new light on who is expendable. White
House chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel has said, "Never let a crisis go to
waste." And Obama says we are addicted to oil. (This from a man whose
largest campaign contributor was BP) We would not have to be using so much
oil if so many inventors of alternative energy and free energy had not been
frightened off or killed.

 

Obama's first televised address to the nation was right out of the UN's
Sustainable Development handbook, the comprehensive plan to regulate our
behavior via the federal, state and local levels of government, primarily
the local level. This scheme has been enhanced until recently by the term
"global warming," which was necessarily modified to "global climate change,"
since we now appear to be in a cooling period. Fortunately, the last climate
change conference in Copenhagen failed to produce a new climate change
treaty. At Copenhagen, some of the American conservation groups demanded a
course of action that will lead to environmental disaster faster. BP is
heavily tied to eco-groups like Conservation International and Nature
Conservancy. Real science often is thrown out the window to accommodate the
programs of Big Oil and Big Coal. This will only be tackled when the green
lobbyists in the US stop taking cash from Big Oil and Big Coal.

 

City Paper pointed out that BP spent "hundreds of millions of dollars" to
"transform its image from that of a dirty old oil company into 'Beyond
Petroleum' a company so environmentally friendly it had transcended oil
drilling (and spilling) for happy, sunny and clean technologies such as wind
and solar."

 

They also noted that the environmental groups "trumpeted their ties to
corporations, arguing that these partnerships lead to better corporate
environmental policies and less damage to the planet."

 

That's exactly how the relationship between BP and Conservation
International was framed by ABC's "Nightline" back in 2002".

 

The main objectives are to end national sovereignty, abolition of private
property, the "restructuring" of the family unit, increasing restrictions on
mobility and individual opportunity. Barack Obama's way to do this is with
something he calls "Cap and Trade."

 

I must admit, for the longest time I did not know what "Cap and Trade"
meant. Nothing in those three words suggests anything to do with ecology but
"Cap and Trade" is an environmentally-based scam, an artificial marketplace
designed to reduce pollution by paying people who reduce pollution with
money from polluters. "Cap" refers to limits, or caps, on emissions. So, we
would have an emissions trading system in which total emissions are limited,
or capped. Permits would be allocated or auctioned up to the set cap on
emissions and a market would allow polluting members who are emitting less
than their quotas to sell their excess permits to polluters who need to buy
"credits" to meet their caps. Which is all as totally phony as it sounds,
and as totally phony as "man-made global warming." The globe is warmed by
the sun, or not, if it puts out less heat. Paying money or being paid has
nothing to do with pollution or "greenhouse gasses."

 

What "Cap and Trade" does is to create more restrictions and controls on
people.

 

Some are asking, is there a hidden agenda behind all the foot dragging to
the clean-up and to stopping the spill? At my local library, which covers
Santa Barbara County, I asked the reference librarian to help me find
anything on the Agenda for the 21st Century. What I found was surprising.
There were no books, magazines or videos on this subject. The librarian
found two brief articles and one review article not on the subject of Agenda
21 but on one aspect of it, the Wildlands Project. The buzz words
"Sustainable Development" were used. Nowhere in the public library could one
try to inform himself on the scope of Agenda 21. I suspect that this is the
way it is throughout America. Agenda 21 is literally a hidden agenda.

 

The policymakers have created innocent-sounding catch phrases to capture the
hearts and minds of our educators and their students. It will be the
students who are the spring board to making Agenda 21 possible through
grassroots groups that will carry over to our city councils, town councils
and county boards where the policies are made. All these "Sustainable
Development" policies and regulations have stolen our soul for life for the
communal good. These policies are destroying the soul of life. This is what
we are giving up every time we accept these policies. The first point in the
moral and ethical guidelines for the Wildlands Project is: All life (human
and non-human) has equal value (a minnow is as valuable as man). What we are
giving away is what sets man apart from all other animals, our souls.

 

This is the most devastating disaster that we have known. It will affect
millions of people in the Gulf States, the Eastern Coast and everywhere the
Gulf Stream goes. Agenda 21 is not only for America it is international as a
United Nations policy for the New World Order. But while we still have some
tattered shreds of our Bill of Rights left, each of us who has an ounce of
soul left needs to find out for himself and herself the full extent of
Agenda 21 and how it will impact on your family's life.

 

Agenda 21 has been creeping through each town and city council for 17 years.
The first thing to do is to take a good look at what is happening to the
people who are living in the Gulf States and etch into our brains what will
happen to your family in the near future. Our response to this must be to
seize control of our local institutions, our town and city councils and
county boards of supervisors and force the rejection of any and all
programs, regulations and policies that conform to the United Nations'
Agenda for the 21st Century. Gulf Coast residents must demand non-toxic
forms of clean-up such as bioremediation, i.e., oil-eating microbes.

Comment from Mary Rose:  While this does expose a lot of things, one of the
things I have been thinking about lately is becoming more solution-oriented
using the discussion process.  And since I have become more involved with
the Transition Movement by moving all of the Future Dawning websites, except
for the Admin Center which also serves as an "intake" center for
subscribers, I have discovered that some of the people on the TransitionUs
Social Network site are very good at facilitating the discussions in very
meaningful and solution-oriented ways.  So, I want to guide more people over
to that organization and bring them into the discussions there.

 

What the Transitioners lack is the awareness of the role human consciousness
plays in achieving social/cultural transformation while they are excellent
in seeing and implementing very rudimentary issues related to achieving
sustainable living.

 

Which brings me to the above message and what I see in it, and, in
particular as related to Agenda 21.  First of all, if anyone has noticed, I
never write: sustainable development.  This is an oxymoron - it is
impossible to achieve sustainability and have development that is on-going.
One might have redevelopment which means using the same land and doing
things more appropriately on it, but not in capitalizing it with the intent
of making money from it.

 

The other thing with regard to Agenda 21 is the idea for world trade to be
the end all and be all of economics.  As we have been finding out, it simply
doesn't work.  But if one reads

through Agenda 21 there is some good stuff in there and when we were going
to do the Hands Across the Border: Operation Lifesave proposal and restore
both the ecology and the economy of Mexico, we were going to apply use
Agenda 21 as the vehicle to get there.

 

So what I am feeling needs to be done here is for a group to take the Agenda
and rewrite it so that it works in the best interests of all concerned.  And
I do not have time to get involved in this right now as I just started to
write in earnest yesterday the program for prison reform which includes the
related issues of rehabilitation, substance abuse and addiction, mental
illness, gardening, transformation, reducing violence in our society,
homelessness, nutrition, awareness, healing, ethnicity, sexual-orientation,
and many other issues that will not reveal themselves until we are more
involved with the program and being to see all of the dynamics.

 

But what is happening as we move our bases of knowledge closer together, as
has happened between TransitionUS and Future Dawning, is that
"self-organization" is taking place between the two groups and drawing in
more people.  And we are now beginning to think in terms of: seeing the
whole dynamic, pattern recognition, creating leverage, finding intervention
points, etc. , and we are working together at another level of "co-learning"
than we are doing here.  And, it's fun.  Everyone gets to play if they
choose to do so.  We are fast becoming "co-creators" instead of sitting and
pointing fingers at one another or at someone outside of the group.

 

And the best  part of this is, there is no one up in the front of the room
"teaching" - it is all about becoming learning communities and engaging both
sides of the brain and learning how to entrain it with the heart brain in
order to create the all-knowing, all-seeing holographic mind.  And when
there are all of these holographic minds concentrating their power in one
group and looking for solutions, wow - look out everybody - here we come.

 

I don't have the link handy right now so you can click and go if you so
choose, but will put it up ASAP.

"Mystery is part of the necessary function to make money systems work,

reassurance, and you need a gown of mystery to make it stick."  --Bernard
Lietaer

 

Mary, thanks - I am glad to see that Richard Moore is also at work
attempting to unentangle this web of lies being woven by the Republicans as
they try to get back into office using any means possible.  I notice that
the article you post here is also very long and obviously was not written by
one person, but is a compilation of cut and paste excerpts from what appear
to be many different sources as was done in the article originally sent by
Robbi Skye Campbell and forwarded by Holly.  

 

In order to get back in office, the Republicans are going to have to make
Obama look as bad as possible.  So, any amount of slander and lies and
convoluted messages they need to send in order to accomplish this will be
done.  This is a no holds barred, anything goes, two pitt bulls in the arena
-- both going for the juglar vein of the other, type of brawl that serves no
one well. It is both degrading to the participants and to the country at
large.  We deserve better than this, and we need to change the system.   

 

Having said this however, I do believe that some of what is contained in
these messages is truth and the truth today is very frightening. Those who
took over when the Federal Reserve was brought into being in 1913, had no
consideration for either the well-being of the country or the people within
the system either then or now. We-the-people/sheeple, have simply become
numbers in a game - there is no consideration for our well-being. It is all
about the few of THEM who control the world by controlling the majority of
its wealth. 

 

I do believe that the U.S. has become "the nut house" with all of us being
equally insane. People who are sane do not destroy their life support system
such as we have been doing and continue to do. Although as I write this, I
also realize that this is part of the evolutionary process - part of the
growth pattern as Gregg Braden describes in his book "Fractal Time." And, if
you haven't read Fractal Time, then you need to - you need to understand the
whole dynamic of things and how the Universe works. Looking back through
history, civilization has continually gone through the good times and the
bad times on a regular cycle. However, what I choose to believe now is that
we have now completed an entire cycle and are at the beginning of a new era
- so this is the time for us to choose anew who we want to be and how we
want to live.  

 

We can continue to create other instances such as that now happening in the
Gulf of Mexico. And, this IS an event that all of us must take
responsibility for - for without the demand for oil that we-the-people have
created as we have bought our gas-guzzling vehicles and demanded to live the
lives of luxury in spite of continual warnings that oil production would
someday peak, BP would not have been driven to drill a well in this
location. We have demanded ever, and ever more luxurious dwellings to live
in along with more and more technologies that make life easier and more
pleasant for us. However as we have done these things, we have literally
destroyed the natural environment in order to create the built environment.
In reality, we are all in this together. As long as there is demand there
will be a supplier who will provide whatever the demand calls for. It is
written in the stars - but it is also written in the stars that we can
create change if we truly desire to do so.  

 

It is all up to us, and each of us must make a conscious choice to create a
new reality and when we have reached consensus on how to do this, the pain
will end and we can move on into a new era - the era called the Age of
Knowledge.  When we have acquired the knowledge we need and have learned how
to apply it appropriately we will then have arrived at the Age of Wisdom.
May this time arrive soon.

"spiritual side" and yakking about "symptoms" when it may be more important
to start looking at the more practical aspects of living by learning how to

The Republicans have a set of dirty little (actually not so little) secrets
they don't what you to know -- and certainly don't want you to think about
when you go to the polls in November.

And the fact is that some of those secrets could provide Democrats with
silver bullets this fall. But first let's recall the context.

Over the course of eight short years -- between 2000 and 2008 -- the
Republicans methodically executed their plan to transform American society.
They systematically transferred wealth from the middle class to the
wealthiest two percent of Americans -- slashing taxes for the wealthy. They
eviscerated the rules that held Wall Street, Big Oil and private insurance
companies accountable to the public. They allowed and encouraged the
recklessness of the big Wall Street banks that ultimately collapsed the
economy and cost eight million Americans their jobs. They ignored exploding
health care costs, tried to privatize Social Security, gave the drug
companies open season to gouge American consumers and presided over a
decline in real incomes averaging $2,000 per family. They entangled America
in an enormously costly, unnecessary war in Iraq, pursued a directionless
policy that left Afghanistan to fester, and sullied America's good name
throughout the world.

Their economic policy of cutting taxes for the wealthy and deregulating big
Corporations failed to create jobs. In fact, over his eight year term,
George Bush's administration created exactly zero net private sector jobs.
They inherited a Federal budget with surpluses as far as the eye could see
and rolled up more debt than all of the previous Presidents in the over 200
years of American history. And in the end they left the economy in collapse.

This was not a disaster that could be remedied overnight. By taking bold
action at the beginning of his administration, President Obama and the
Democrats in Congress prevented the financial crisis from morphing into a
Great Depression -- but the Republicans, some Democrats, and the powerful
special interests have done everything they can to throw sand into the gears
of change. Most importantly, they have stood in the way of providing enough
economic stimulus to launch a robust, widespread economic recovery.

But notwithstanding Republican opposition, Obama, the Democrats and their
progressive allies have -- after a century of trying -- finally passed
health care reform allowing America to end its status as the only
industrialized nation that did not provide health care as a right. They are
on the brink of reining in the recklessness of the big Wall Street banks.
And they have set the stage for massive long-term investments in economic
growth and clean energy.

But it has been hard to pull the car out of the deep economic ditch and
Americans are angry at the slow pace of economic recovery -- and also at the
special interests that profited from their economic pain.

So the Republicans now have the audacity to argue that President Obama and
the Democrats are somehow responsible for the hardships that they themselves
created. In effect they want the election to be a referendum on whether the
Democrats have mopped and swept fast enough cleaning up the mess that they
created.

They will do everything they can to prevent America from focusing on the
real choice before them in the fall elections -- a choice between going
backward to the failed policies of the past that caused this catastrophe and
a new direction that will create sustainable, long-term, bottom-up, widely
shared economic growth. The real question before the country is whether it
is willing to hand over the keys to the economy once again to the same gang
that just caused the most serious economic pile up in 60 years.

That's where the dirty little secrets come in. It turns out that the leaders
of the Republican Party have learned nothing from the reckless escapade that
caused so much economic pain, and came perilously close to inflicting mortal
wounds on the American economy.

They still actually believe -- despite what we have all just experienced --
that by "freeing" big oil, the insurance companies and Wall Street banks of
the "burdens" of government accountability, that the plutocrats and the
"invisible hand" of the market will lead American into the promised land of
economic prosperity.

Some of the things they believe are not only dangerous to the economy,
luckily they are also politically radioactive. And quite remarkably, many
key Republicans are actually willing to say them out loud. Here are a few:

.         Meet Congressman Paul Ryan. Ryan is the ranking Republican on the
House Budget Committee. If the Republicans once again take control of the
House, he will be the Chair of the Budget Committee. Ryan believes -- and
says out loud -- that Medicare, one of the most popular Federal programs in
history, should be abolished and replaced with vouchers for private
insurance. Let's recall that one of the ways Republicans stirred up
opposition to health insurance reform was by falsely accusing Democrats of
wanting to cut Medicare. They convinced some unwitting seniors that
"Government" should keep its hands off Medicare -- which is, of course, a
"Government" program. Democrats need to make it crystal clear in this
campaign that Republicans -- who opposed Medicare from its inception --
actually want to abolish the program and hand over control of health care
for America's seniors to the same private insurance companies responsible
for driving up rates three times faster than wages while their profits have
exploded.

.         Congressman John Boehner, the House Minority Leader, has endorsed
another Ryan proposal to raise the retirement age of Social Security to 70
years old -- a proposal that might go over fine with a guy like Boehner who
makes speeches for a living. But it won't be very popular at all with
someone who has laid bricks, or run an earth mover, or waited tables for
forty-five years.

.         The whole Republican crew wants to resurrect the failed Bush
proposal to "privatize" Social Security. The defeat of Bush's privatization
plan was the turning point in the Bush Presidency. It was all downhill from
there. Yet -- whether it's to pad the investment accounts of their friends
on Wall Street or because they are "private markets uber alles true
believers" -- the Republicans want to try it again. Only this time retirees
won't have to work very hard to imagine what it would have been like if
their Social Security checks had plummeted in value the way their 401K's did
when the market collapsed just two years ago.

.         The Republicans want to weaken and repeal the new law to rein in
the recklessness of the big Wall Street banks. Most Republicans and
Democrats voted to bail out the big banks to prevent a 1930's style market
collapse. The difference is that Democrats supported legislation to rein in
their recklessness -- that had cost 8 million Americans their jobs -- and
assure that a bailout was never allowed to happen again. But with very few
exceptions, the Republicans voted to a person against holding Wall Street
accountable. Given a chance, they plan to team up with their pals on Wall
Street to free them to return to their reckless ways at will. In fact, they
told the titans of Wall Street as much in fundraising meetings, where those
"masters of the Universe" were asked to ante up. Republicans claim to oppose
more Wall Street bailouts, but they refuse to support legislation that would
prevent one in the future and hold Wall Street accountable. That -- coupled
with those big contributions from Wall Street -- is a position that is very
difficult for average voters to swallow. In fact, the polling says it's down
right toxic.

.         Republicans have consistently voted against extending unemployment
benefits to workers who have been laid off because of Bush-era policies and
the recklessness of Wall Street. Remember, people who get unemployment
benefits -- by definition -- are looking for jobs that the economy doesn't
provide. In addition, many Republicans actually believe that the best way to
spur employment is to lower the minimum wage.

.         Finally, meet Congressman Joe Barton. If the Republicans win back
control of Congress, he would once again most likely serve as the Chairman
of the Energy and Commerce Committee -- the Committee that oversees the oil
industry. Congressman Barton has never met an oil company he doesn't like.
In fact, he's the guy who actually apologized to BP when they were forced by
the Obama Administration to take economic responsibility for the disastrous
Gulf oil spill. As a political matter, that's like apologizing to Jack the
Ripper.

These are politically radioactive positions that do, in fact, define the
core of Republican policy if they were once again to control the gavel in
either House of Congress.

We hear a lot about how Democrats have to "localize" the elections to have a
chance of victory in November. And it is true that people vote for people in
elections -- and the quality of Democratic candidates will give them a major
edge in many races. So while it is a good idea to "personalize" the races
for Congress, the last thing Democrats should do is to "localize" them,
because the party that nationalizes a midterm -- and dominates the national
dialogue -- almost always comes out ahead.

Instead, Democrats need to take the offensive and dominate the national
conversation by talking about what the Republicans actually believe and what
they would do if they win in November. Voters must be offered a stark choice
between Democratic and Republican policies in the fall. If they are,
"Conventional Wisdom" that keeps predicting a Democratic disaster will be
proven wrong, the same way it was when it predicted that America would never
elect a tall, skinny African American guy named Barack Obama.

Dear?Robert,
?
We are excited to announce that we are getting ready to pilot the INET Google Wave conversations.? As you have expressed an interest in participating, we are sending you this note to let you know how you can now get actively involved with some of the other early adopters of the INET community.?Our intention is to launch three pilot Waves at the same time in the next week or so.?? Each Wave will be focused on a different topic, and will be related to some of the themes that INET will be focusing on in our conferences and our newly initiated grants program. If you are available and still interested in participating as an early adopter in one of these Waves, or more of them to come in the summer and early fall, please sign up to get your INET Wave account at this link.


Each Wave will begin with a short video and a written summary of the content of the video and a key question it raises.? We imagine the Waves will be open for several weeks; however, given that this is an experimental forum for the INET community, we are open to the time being longer or possibly shorter. Once a Wave is complete, we will harvest a key answer or something significant we learned from the Wave to be featured on the INET website.
Even if you already have a Google Wave account, you still need to go to this link to sign up for the INET Waves.? By signing up, you will get a special Wave account that will be linked to your registration on the INET website. This will allow you to work on the Waves, which means you can modify the content and be able to interact with others in more elaborate conversations. Ideally, we?d like to have a core group of people focused on each of the initial three Waves. We would love to have those people log-on and check on one of the three Waves every day and make a comment or contribution every 2 or 3 days over the course of the 3 weeks the pilot Wave discussion might last.

Over time, we hope to enable more people to participate, but while in beta, we are going to start with a smaller group of people who volunteered, like yourself.?
Within a week after you sign up, we will send you another email detailing ?Tips? and ?Rules? of the INET Wave engagement, a link material on how to use Waves and finally, a list of times for hour-long ?on-call? help sessions where we can help get you oriented to these new collaborative tools. If you want to get a head start on learning about how to use Wave, please find more information through the links to the right of this email.
While you are signing up, we also encourage you to fill out your profile on the INET website. While the profiles are not publicly visible at the moment, those who fill out their profiles early will be among the first to have them listed on the INET website. In case you are wondering about yourselves (those of you who expressed an interest in participating in the Wave conversations), you come from every continent, you speak at least 15 languages, you range in age from 17 to 91 and your professions range from student to banker to philosopher, to business owner, civil servant, social entrepreneur, to professor, journalist and psychologist.? You are a passionate, informed and articulate group of people.? We fully expect the Wave conversations to be very interesting and useful.
If you have any questions, please email Kristin for process issues at Kristin at NextAgenda.com, and Matt for technical issues at Matt at NextAgenda.com.
We look forward to seeing you online!
Best,The INET Wave team, including: Kristin Cobble (Online Facilitator), Matt Sengbush (Web & Technology Developer), Michael Filtz (Content Developer), and Peter Leyden (Director, INET Online)

Mary, if Halliburton is leading the way in this aspect with the best video I
can find, then this is what I am going to use.  

 

ALL of us need to transform - and if this is Halliburton's contribution,
then so be it. 

 

I don't believe any of us are perfect, but let's begin by looking at
whatever good we can find wherever we find it.

 

There is not a hell of a lot of positive in this world today, but what most
of us are doing is looking for the worst and beating people over the head
with it.

 

 And, this is especially true in the Gulf with BP.  If we are going to
change, we need to begin looking for the good and emphasizing that.  And
also looking at what role our actions play in creating the situation.  

 

The law of physics tells us we create whatever we focus on.  So let' focus
on finding good wherever we can and send more healing energy in that
direction whether it is with Obama, BP, Halliburton, the Democrats, or
ourselves.  

 

As I have said before, the most powerful thing we can do is to join the
Global Coherence Initiative and begin to direct positive healing energy
toward President Obama, toward the whole coastal area and those involved in
it in the Gulf of Mexico, etc., etc., etc., and then follow our meditations
up with small but positive actions that each of can begin taking in growing
our own food, in driving our vehicles less and less, in implementing new
energy methods, in ending the wars, etc., etc., etc.

 

And, let us begin expressing love and positive energy toward anything
positive no matter how small it is. 

 

We must be the change we wish to see in our lives.  M. Gandhi

>From where I sit, we are committing too much time devoted to developing our
"spiritual side" and yakking about "symptoms" when it may be more important
to start looking at the more practical aspects of living by learning how to
meet basic needs. We can do much by gardening to meet our food needs and
putting roofs over our heads by building our own.  It is surprising how
involving oneself in these kinds of activities can aid in not only creating
personal but social transformation as well.    

 

 Let's begin here and I'll be posting more videos on these topics as we move
along.

Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS 

 

In order to offer a broader-based perspective on how people think today, I
just joined (with a month free to sample it), Ken Wilber's INTEGRAL LIFE.
And, since there is an invitation to forward this to others included, I am
taking the liberty of forwarding the information to the Co-learner's list so
we can explore together the views of one of the world's great philosophers.
Your comments on this are welcome. 

 

With love and in gratitude to everyone.

Diane Musho Hamilton and Ken Wilber

Diane Musho Hamilton talks to Ken about an essay she recently wrote with
Vanessa Fisher, "Evolving our Approach to Sexual Harassment: A New Role for
Women." Together they offer a sober and sophisticated look at issues of
identity, sexuality, culture, and legislation. Diane and Ken examine the
many ways that our laws presuppose women as victim, often reinforcing and
obfuscating the real-life oppression men and women alike experience every
day, while also highlighting some of the common hazards of the feminine
shadow and how it can sometimes contribute to the problems of power and
oppression.... [+

Warren Farrell and Ken Wilber

In the final installation of Warren and Ken's ground-breaking discussion,
they offer their final thoughts about the ongoing attempt by men to redefine
their roles and their identities in the 21st century. They discuss one of
the central paradoxes affecting men today: in order to receive love, men
have to distance themselves from love. That is, our traditional standards of
masculinity do not make enough room for things like empathy or creativity,
but instead teach men to demonstrate his love and support for his family by
spending less time with his family, and more time away from home and away
from love. Finally, Ken and Warren answer a question being asked by a wide
variety of teachers, scholars, and artists: are we now entering the Age of
the Feminine? [+

The following is an initial draft of a proposal on human trafficking which I
wrote together with my teaching partner at iEvolve, Diane Musho Hamilton.
The absolute obligation to do something about the pain in the world is the
essential obligation of every human being. The pain of sexual slavery and
labor slavery cries out to heaven demanding redress. The horror is truly
beyond words. But what to do.... 

How can you, the integral evolutionary community make a difference? This is
a first installment in a series of articles intended to at least address, if
not answer that question. We dare not remain silent as our brothers and
sisters are tortured and killed. Never again can the blood of the innocent
be spilled while we were too busy reading and writing integral articles to
stop to pay attention. 

With huge love, 
Marc Gafni

Marc Gafni

"Below I have tried to articulate in a fuller way, the meta-frames of love
and Unique Self realization and awakening that underlie all three of the
pieces in this week's offering, as well as the entire Integral Evolutionary
enterprise of love. The invitation is to read not merely from a third person
perspective but to read as an engaged lover who is living alive and aflame
as love-and then to take a first step in your life today-which will
alleviate suffering for some other being who awaits your helping heart and
hand."

Subject: [GJM] FW: 10 Tips to Cope With Depression
Message-ID: <006901cb29bd$60eeeda0$22ccc8e0$@net>

Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS  

 

As we move through uncharted waters today and the path ahead is largely
unknown, it is also frequently filled with propaganda designed to induce
fear which, in turn, brings about depression. In order to handle this,  we
need ways of coping and here are 10 ways to aid in doing this. 

 

However, what I also want to note here is that both coping and the
depression itself are forms of stress.  And, stress directly impacts how our
immune system is functioning.  So, where we really want to be is in a
position to rid ourselves completely of the stress associated with the many
different fear and depression-creating issues we are faced with each day.
And, I am going to discuss this with you in another post in the near future.


 

But the tips included in this article are important because they are also
"management" techniques that can be used every day to help make your life
flow a little more smoothly and aid in avoiding the triggers that create
depression and fear.   

 

While the article below suggests that you consult a therapist, and I agree,
I also realize that in the present economic situation many of us find
ourselves in, it is not possible to do this.  So, I will be sending
information gathered from the best sources I can find that are written by
professionals you can trust.

When you have depression, you can find ways to take control of your life and
manage your treatment beyond medications. Making some important lifestyle
changes can

your symptoms. Here are a few strategies to get you started. 

Talk to a Therapist 

Working with a therapist is often an important part of successfully
<http://tracking.waterfrontmedia.com/click/3cb94ec3/2d5b/4560/9e75/5724c75a2
f0d.aspx?si=maryrose333 at att.net> managing depression. Psychotherapy focuses
on helping people adjust their lifestyle in ways that they can control,
minimize their stress, and cope with stressors. Among the issues that you
can address with a therapist are how to improve your self-esteem, switching
from negative to positive thinking, and practicing stress management. 

Express Yourself in Writing 

Writing in a journal can be very therapeutic. You can
<http://tracking.waterfrontmedia.com/click/29dfab40/aae3/4ea3/a2b9/77cbda946
944.aspx?si=maryrose333 at att.net> relieve stress by being open about your
thoughts, feelings, and concerns in your writing. Be totally honest in your
private journal in order to release pent-up emotions. You'll be amazed at
how much better you feel after putting pen to paper for just a few minutes
each day.

Vic, thank you for submitting this for consideration by the Co-Learner's

However,  do hope that everyone clicks through to the video that Vic

after having first viewed the URL from his website Food for thought in a

Some very, very interesting "food for thought" indeed and I do hope this
brings about comments and discussion.

cover a topic because of a strong concern about public safety -- but it
happened recently and so here we go: Are you aware of how dangerous it can
be to combine certain supplements with medications?

 

The call came from Leo Galland, MD, an internist and founder of Pill Advised
( <http://edhn.bottomlinesecrets.com/a/hBMR96vB74VNIB8PbHANGntSSbk/dhn3>
http://PillAdvised.com), an online resource for information about
medications and supplements. Having extensively reviewed the research into
interactions between drugs and supplements, Dr. Galland told me that he is
becoming increasingly worried about this particular problem. "People need to
take these interactions seriously and be aware that negative outcomes can
occur," he warns. "The results can be catastrophic."

 

About 40% of Americans now take dietary supplements in the form of a
vitamin, mineral, herb or other substance -- and those 50 and older are more
likely than younger folks to use supplements and, as a group, to take more
medications. Dr. Galland emphasized that "the sicker and more fragile you
are, the greater the impact of an interaction," but added that in truth,
anyone combining drugs and supplements is at risk for interactions -- and
the more drugs and supplements that you take, the greater the danger. 

 

When interactions cause harm

 

Dr. Galland explained that there are certain common pathways for negative
interactions. Specifically, interactions often occur because the supplement
interferes with the way the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream,
metabolized by the liver or excreted by the kidneys -- in this way, the
remedy you turn to for help with one problem may bring about others that are
far worse. Sometimes drugs and supplements have a similar action in the
body, so that taking both magnifies the effect of the drug -- while other
supplements can block the effect of a drug so that the drug doesn't work. In
either case, the effect can be lethal. 

 

According to Dr. Galland, the supplement that causes the greatest number of
interactions is St. John's wort. "It can have a profound effect on the
enzymes that metabolize drugs, decreasing their activity and drastically
changing the level of a drug in the body," he said. The commonly prescribed
drug that causes the greatest number of dangerous interactions is the blood
thinner warfarin, which is often prescribed to prevent blood clots.
"Warfarin has a very narrow safety margin," Dr. Galland explained -- meaning
that the dose you take must be precisely right or the effect could be
dangerous. Next most dangerous: Statin drugs, used to control cholesterol,
also affect liver enzymes and muscle function in ways that can be magnified
when taken with certain supplements. 

 

Surprisingly Common Interactions

 

Dr. Galland and I went through some of the more common medications people
take and what supplements might cause dangerous interactions...

 

Blood-thinning drugs: If you take warfarin or another blood-thinning drug
(including aspirin), don't take ginkgo biloba, and ask your doctor about the
advisability of taking vitamin E, since even the amount in a multivitamin
can increase your risk for hemorrhage. Two others to beware of: Ginseng and
St. John's wort also can be dangerous for those on blood-thinning drugs, as
they may prevent warfarin from working properly and increase risk for blood
clots. 

 

Statins: If you take a statin drug, don't take vitamin E or St. John's wort
because they may reduce the drug's effectiveness and leave you vulnerable to
heart attack. It's well-known that grapefruit can increase blood levels of
some statin drugs to dangerously high levels, increasing the risk for liver
or muscle damage, but you may not know that pomegranate and pomegranate
extract can have the same effect.

 

Diuretics: Anyone who takes a thiazide drug (such as hydrochlorthiazide) on
its own or in combination with another blood pressure medication (such as an
ACE inhibitor) should avoid the supplements white willow bark and ginkgo
biloba -- these can prevent the drugs from working properly, so patients may
end up with elevated blood pressure. Horsetail, senna, cascara, licorice and
uva ursi (all typically taken for bloating and water retention) boost the
diuretic effect of thiazide drugs and can lead to dehydration and potassium
depletion. 

 

Antihypertensives: People on ACE inhibitors for blood pressure, a category
that includes captopril (Capoten) and lisinopril (Zestril and Prinivil),
should avoid taking iron supplements within two hours of taking the
medication because iron can interfere with absorption of the drug. Iron
naturally present in food does not have the same effect. Also problematic is
the supplement cayenne (sometimes referred to as capsicum or capsaicin),
used as a digestive aid or for control of inflammation, which increases the
side effects of ACE inhibitors, especially cough. 

 

Oral diabetes medications: If you are taking diabetes medicines such as
metformin (Glucophage) or glyburide (Glynase), avoid ginkgo biloba because
it can interfere with the effects of insulin and raise your blood sugar.
Also use caution with the supplements vanadium, gymnema, chromium, ginseng
and bitter melon, as these can dangerously depress blood sugar levels in
sensitive individuals. 

 

Antiarrhythmia drugs: Patients who take the antiarrhythmia drug digoxin
(Digitalis) should never take supplemental forms of licorice (often used for
cough or sore throat) because it can bring on severe -- even fatal --
arrhythmia. Others to avoid include pectin, a stool-bulking agent, because
it reduces absorption of the digoxin, and ginseng, which binds with the
digoxin, making it unavailable. Also avoid horsetail, senna and cascara,
which can bring about dangerous reductions of potassium levels, which
increase the risk for digoxin toxicity.

 

Antibiotics: If you are on tetracycline or the antibiotic class known as
quinolone antibiotics, which includes Cipro and levofloxacin (Levaquin), do
not take minerals or eat mineral-rich foods within two hours of taking the
drug -- minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc bind to these
drugs and prevent their absorption. Dairy products and calcium-fortified
juices should also be avoided within two hours of antibiotics because the
calcium can block drug absorption. 

 

Thyroid medications: If you take a thyroid medication such as levothyroxine
(Synthroid), do not take any iron, calcium or aluminum (found in antacids)
within four hours because they interfere with absorption of the drug. 

 

Ask An Expert

 

Dr. Galland notes that supplements should be used with the same care as
drugs. It's best to take them under the supervision of a doctor (such as a
naturopath) who is specially trained in their use or to ask your pharmacist
for advice.

Subject: Re: 10 Tips to Cope With Depression

 

Hi Mary Rose,
Good nutrition also plays an important role in depression management. I
would love to get this networks comments and suggestions on a page I
recently made regarding adding healthy supplementation to our diets. I could
really use some feedback to determine if I'm on a good track here. See
http://SuperFoodsWellness.com
Vic : )

Vic, in developing the Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS program I include
nutrition as a major factor so we are on the same pathway in this respect.
And, while we are talking here about ways to cope with depression, I
consider nutrition to be a "healing" rather than a "coping" modality. 

First of all let me say since you are new to the list,  my feelings are we
do not need health insurance - this only makes the insurance industry
wealthy and leaves we-the-people getting sicker and sicker as we depend upon
the doctor to cure us instead of practicing prevention by "eating to live"
instead of "living to eat."   And, I have been saying this for a very long
time. 

However, with regard to supplements, it has been shown in scientifically
conducted trials that they cannot compare to eating foods that are
organically grown as it has been shown that it is the interaction of the
vitamins and minerals within these foods is what is most important and this
cannot be duplicated in supplements.  But as you bring out in your article
today we suffer from lack of vitamins and minerals as soil depletion takes
its toll.  So, supplements may have some benefits but just how much is not
as yet known - a scientifically-conducted  trial of a large number of women
revealed that those taking supplements showed no difference in health than
those taking no supplements, and if I recall correctly this study was made
over a ten-year period. (I do not have this information handy and will have
to look it up again in order to supply the URL.)  Another factor that
appears not to be known is just which minerals and supplements are the ones
which allow for complete absorption into the  body of the other vitamins and
minerals - a very important consideration.   

Now having written this, let me say that about a year ago, i began to suffer
from anxiety attacks along with numbness and tingling in my feet.  Since
anxiety attacks mimic heart attacks I was in and out of the hospital several
times with none of the numerous tests conducted revealing anything but that
I was in good health.  Consequently, my primary care physician referred me
to a neurologist who ordered blood tests. But, he also did tests showing
that some of the minor cells in my feet and legs were dead.     What the
blood tests revealed was a deficiency in vitamins D3 and B1.  The
acupuncturist i see suggested a liquid supplement containing all of the B
vitamins along with D3 and other known minerals and vitamins considered
vital to one's health.  And she suggested I also take Omega - 3 by Nordic
along with a tablespoon of virgin olive oil daily to lessen the chances of
suffering from arthritis and joint pain, and in addition suggested I eat a
large serving of walnuts and almonds every day.  (Walnuts contain vitamin
B-3 and Almonds - calcium.) 

I also use both Dr. Flanagan's Crystal Energy and Mega H which provides as
extremely high  protection from free radicals. Dr, Flanagan's formulas are
among the most potent  anti-oxidant known.  (See www.phisciences.com for
more on these products.) and I take a bone enhancer product containing
calcium + other significant vitamins and minerals that enhance the known
absorption and action of the calcium. 

While I no longer suffer from the anxiety attacks, upon occasion since then,
I do suffer from the numbness and tingling in my feet even though my blood
tests now show my Vitamin D3 and B1 levels to be normal.  Vitamin D is
something we normally acquire from being out in the sun, but lately it has
been discovered that 70% of the people in the U.S. lack sufficient Vitamin D
- the possible cause being that we spend more time indoors as we have
progressed from an agriculture society to an industrial society, and are now
into the Age of Knowledge.  It has only been recently that researchers have
also discovered  Vitamin D is also one of the most important Vitamins
required for good health and that it plays a role in many more ways than
normally known.  Lack of Vitamin D is also a known contributor to SAD
(Seasonal Adjustment Disorder) which emerges as depression, particularly in
the northern regions of the world where there is little sunshine.  Vitamin
K2,  which until recently researchers knew little about, is now revealing
itself to be another major factor in the cause of disease when found
lacking.  But to take these vitamins in isolation may have little or no
benefit.  More research needs to be done on this.    

Where I feel the greatest impact is with regard to vitamins and minerals,
is for mental illness since little is known about how to treat this
disability effectively.  Most treatment modalities resort to the use of
drugs produced by the pharmaceutical industry which in rigorous scientific
trials have been proven to have little more effect than a placebo. Or to put
a patient into a psychotic condition in many instances.  Back in 1968,
two-time Nobel Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling wrote that lack of nutrition was
the main cause of both physical and mental illness.  Other studies indicate
that it may also be the cause of substance abuse as well.  Statistics from
the National Association of Health (substantiated by a follow up study at
Harvard U.) indicate that 26.2% of the population of the U.S. can be defined
as legally mentally ill.  However, this may not be the true figure since
many of those who are mentally ill never seek treatment due to the stigma
associated with mental illness today -- so the figure may be much higher.
Statistics taken from both prison and homeless populations indicate that
anywhere from 30% - 50% of these populations may be defined also as legally
mentally ill.  Another statistic that must be considered here is that we in
the United States with only 0.05% of the world's population use
approximately 40% of all the world's illegal drug production and goodness
only knows how much of the world's legally-prescribed drugs.  When one looks
at these statistics and at the damage we do to our own nest, and our lack of
consideration for others with regard to both human and earth rights, we
cannot doubt that insanity runs rampant in our society today, and may even
be said to rule since our leaders insist on taking us into continual war.


What is a terrible miscarriage of justice is for the mentally ill to be
incarcerated in prisons as this is a violation of their human rights.  It
has now been mandated that individuals incarcerated in prisons be provided
good medical care for physical ailments, and to not do so is a violation of
human rights that is punishable by law. However the same right has not been
extended to inmates who are mentally ill.  As a consequence, prison
personnel are not trained in how to handle those inmates who are mentally
ill and a recent report describes the abuse inmates undergo as a result.  A
further consequence is that many who are mentally ill, having served out
their sentence are released from prison without under-going any treatment
that will allow them to assimilate back into society and lead meaningful
lives.  It must be noted that the same is true of veterans who suffer from
post-traumatic stress disorder, many of whom also end up in jail or prison
or are homeless on the streets as a result of their inability to assimilate
back into society.

About nine months ago, due to having encountered someone who has been
diagnosed as suffering from bipolar disorder, and who was also entangled in
the jail/prison/justice/court system, I began to study bipolar disorder and
its possible cause and treatment.  Due to the high number of symptoms
associated with bipolar disorder, I have come to the conclusion that BD is
not just one disorder, but is several disorders that may be inter-related.
Substantiating this is the fact that medical professionals themselves have
divided BD into two different phases with differing symptoms.  As a
consequence of the numerous symptoms associated with the disorder, it is
extremely difficult to diagnose and many of those who incur the disorder,
mostly in their teen years, are not diagnosed and brought into treatment
until 10 years or more later according to the latest literature found. 

While I could go into lengthy detail on BD here, the main purpose for
including this is in this article is related to the treatment of BD by means
of nutritional supplementation.  The organization of note distributing the
EMPowerPlus formula that has been rigorously tested in scientific studies,
is the True Hope organization in Canada.  www.truehope.com  Their tests have
revealed that EMPowerplus is 80% effective in healing BD. And, what is
important with regard to this finding is that just taking supplements that
have not been specifically formulated to do the job, or just eating
healthfully of fresh organically-raised foods do not work.  And the reason
being is that the essential ingredient that causes other important vitamins
and minerals to be absorbed into the body may be lacking in this hit or miss
way of eating, while the specially prepared supplement distributed by True
Hope (and some other companies)  guarantees that everything is there in a
large majority of cases. 

Energy Healing. 

However, let me insert here that there is another way of inducing the
healing of many dis-eases, including BD  - that of energy healing.  And what
we are talking about here is healing induced by the power of the mind and
applied at the cellular level. This type of healing has the ability to
transform the DNA of an individual by reprogramming the genes using the
sub-conscious mind to do so.  And the two effective methods that I know of
and have used myself to accomplish this are: Holodynamics as founded by Dr.
V. Vernon Woolf, and the new "Healing Code" founded by Dr. Alex Loyd.  But,
I have used these two modalities only at the emotional level, which, by the
way is where all dis-ease begins.  I also, unknowing at the time how it was
accomplished, used my hands to heal my youngest son, who was suffering from
spinal meningitis and whom the doctors had given up on, many years ago.  One
of the people known for her extraordinary ability to heal in this manner is
Barbara Brennan http://www.barbarabrennan.com/  

Let me also insert here that The Healing Code is based on research conducted
in part by cell biologist, Dr. Bruce H. Lipton, who is quoted extensively in
the book. The Healing Code has also undergone extensive research by the
Institute of HeartMath.  From the time of inception by Alex Loyd to the
point where it is today has been 18 years. During this time, thousands of
individuals have used it with thousands of testimonials being submitted to
those involved.  In about 2004, Dr. Ben Johnson, M.D. , D.O., N.D., joined
Dr. Loyd as a partner.  Dr. Johnson, using The Healing Code over three
months time was able to heal himself from Lou Gehrig's Disease - a feat
which no one had ever accomplished before as it was considered to be
"incurable."    

While I am now using The Healing Code to clear up some emotional issues
recently, I have changed the wording suggested in the book.  I do not
believe in "myth" and the point of my research today is to uncover what
science and the study of the human body has to say that can be conveyed
authentically. So, I have replaced the word "God" with the words: "the full
power of the universe that expresses itself through my heart." And, this
power being the electromagnetic energy field which underlies all of life
combined with the other forces. I.e., gravity and the weak and strong forces
which some say were left over after the Big Bang, but then science today is
also revealing that there may not have been a Big Bang, but the emerging of
our new Universe as one of the many Universes that exist.  In his research
recorded in his book: "The Biology of Transcendence - A Blueprint for the
Human Spirit," Joseph Chilton Pearce provides an excellent overview of how
the Triune Brain connected to the Triune Heart is connected to the rest of
the Universe via "toric energy fields."  I very much suggest getting and
reading this book, for nowhere else have I found this connection from the
heart to the Universe set out so beautifully in a way that is easily
understood.  As I write this, it occurs to me that I must reread this book
for it reveals so much information not found elsewhere in simple terms that
the novice like myself can understand.                

The marvelous thing about energy healing is that it can frequently be
accomplished in a matter of a few minutes dependent upon where the healing
needs to take place.  Emotional healing - that is, healing before the
dis-ease has reached into the soft tissue of the body - can take place very
quickly - even in a matter of minutes.  Healing a disease such as cancer or
diabetes, which has become embedded in the soft tissue of the body, or the
body/mind field at a deep level, may take longer.  However, the healing
accomplished by Barbara Brennan and others like her have proven to be
remarkable. 

Another example of energy healing was demonstrated somewhere in Asia and
recorded by Gregg Braden in one of his books.  As he and his wife watched on
a sonogram, three priests chanted at the beside of a woman who had a large
malignant tumor on her bladder.  As they chanted (sending healing vibrations
into her body) the tumor collapsed and disappeared.  

Much information on the healing power of music is recorded in Dr. Leonard
Horowitz book:  "Walk on Water" in which we learn much about the Solfeggio
Scale and its role in the creation of life and coherence patterns in the
body.  Another book which conveys a lot of authentic information on energy
healing and coherence patterns is:  "Infinite Mind - The Science of the
Human Vibrations of Consciousness."    

Energy healing by light therapy has also proven to be most effective.
Another source that I need to look up the reference for is conducted by a
doctor who shines different colored lights into a patients eyes which aids
them in remembering destructive cellular patterns that have been forgotten
including those from a past lifetime, so that the patient can effectively
deal with them.  This ties in with Holodynamics in that the therapist asks
the question of the patient in this modality: "What color is the problem?"
What appears here is that all problems like everything else are vibrating
energy fields with each one having their own frequency, thus revealing
themselves in different colors.  These colors and the hertz in which they
are vibrating are recorded by Valerie V. Hunt in her book, Infinite Mind on
page 318, Exhibit 4, entitled:  Spectogram. 

The health or illness of an individual is also revealed in the energy aura
which appears outside of the body and may extend as much as 12 - 15 ft from
the body.  Coherence patterns, ranging from 174 up to 1100 and above with
174 being a chaos pattern and 1100 revealing a coherence pattern which
reflects as the pure white light, tell the state of health or disease of an
individual.  The organs within the body also reveal themselves in
frequencies different from those of the body as a whole.   These energy
patterns emanate from the heart's beat and may be controlled by the thoughts
of an individual.  In essence what this says is that one is in charge of
one's own health by the thoughts they think and how much stress they are
under do to what Alex Loyd, et al refers to in The Healing Code as:  "known
and unknown negative images, unhealthy beliefs, destructive cellular images,
and physical issues" that affect the immune system in such a way as to
inhibit its functioning properly.   What practice of The Healing Code does
is to release the above from the body/mind memory field and thus open the
path to the immune system so that healing may take place.  This practice
does not heal the disease.  But what it does is to replace the "coping"
mechanisms most of us use throughout our lives, so that true healing may
take place.        

More information may be found on energy healing through Cyndi Dale's latest
book:  "New Chakra Healing - Activate Your 32 Energy Centers." 

The body's energy field, called "chi" in Eastern thought may also be
effectively managed through the use of healing modalities such as Tai Chi
and Qi Gong which have been studied and refined by ancient Chinese masters
for thousands of years.  The Falun Gong modality of this art now being
banned in China as it is so powerful a means of controlling the body's chi.
Westerner's would do well to stop the competitive sports they engage in, and
instead study and practice one of these healing arts including Yoga.  

Aromatherapy     

While I have not as yet used it, the acupuncturist I frequently see, Linda
Anderson,  has begun to use Aromatherapy with women incarcerated at a prison
facility here in San Diego.  And, although she is just beginning to use it,
she feels it is quite successful.  

More later, but I do hope this begins to dispel the idea so prevalent today
that science cannot accurately portray everything in a way that can be
understood as to how the human energy field is constructed and works.  And
since we now know that as is the atom, is the cell, is the human, is the
earth, is the universe, there is little that can be left to the imagination.
Myth, IMHO is a thing of the past.

Subject: FW: 10 Tips to Cope With Depression

Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS  
 
As we move through uncharted waters today and the path ahead is largely
unknown, it is also frequently filled with propaganda designed to induce
fear which, in turn, brings about depression. In order to handle this,  we
need ways of coping and here are 10 ways to aid in doing this. 
 
However, what I also want to note here is that both coping and the
depression itself are forms of stress.  And, stress directly impacts how our
immune system is functioning.  So, where we really want to be is in a
position to rid ourselves completely of the stress associated with the many
different fear and depression-creating issues we are faced with each day.
And, I am going to discuss this with you in another post in the near future.

 
But the tips included in this article are important because they are also
"management" techniques that can be used every day to help make your life
flow a little more smoothly and aid in avoiding the triggers that create
depression and fear.   
 
While the article below suggests that you consult a therapist, and I agree,
I also realize that in the present economic situation many of us find
ourselves in, it is not possible to do this.  So, I will be sending
information gathered from the best sources I can find that are written by
professionals you can trust.

When you have depression, you can find ways to take control of your life and
manage your treatment beyond medications. Making some important lifestyle
changes can boost your mood

Here are a few strategies to get you started. 
 
 Talk to a Therapist 
 
 Working with a therapist is often an important part of successfully
managing depression

f0d.aspx?si=maryrose333 at att.net> . Psychotherapy focuses on helping people
adjust their lifestyle in ways that they can control, minimize their stress,
and cope with stressors. Among the issues that you can address with a
therapist are how to improve your self-esteem, switching from negative to
positive thinking, and practicing stress management. 
 
 Express Yourself in Writing

	Intriguing Questions
Message-ID: <00c901cb29f7$ce8dc6d0$6ba95470$@net>

I just want to say in sending this out, that when everything is taken into consideration, we will probably never know the true story of what happened in the Gulf of Mexico with BP. And while I consider it to be important that we not let up on our questioning and examination of this event, we must also move on and take action in places where we can make a difference.  It is my opinion that the best way to deal with the ?muddied waters? of the Gulf event is to send healing energy into this area.  It has been proven that we can make a difference in this way.  While I feel joining the Global Coherence Initiative is the best way to go about this, you may want to take time to meditate on your own or invite a few friends to do this with you.  

 

One of the things that concerns me is that articles that do not fully present the truth, and we may never have these, create fear in the minds of many which can only make matters worse ?especially when there are so many involved in the Gulf of Mexico region.  When we create fear and confusion, we play right into the devil?s hands. So, let us please while attempting to get to the truth, also attempt to create a coherence pattern that enables and empowers healing.

Is Al Qaeda Just a Bush Boogeyman?
2005-01-11, Los Angeles Times
http://articles.latimes.com/2005/jan/11/opinion/oe-scheer11

Is it conceivable that Al Qaeda ... as the center of a vast and well-organized international terrorist conspiracy, does not exist? To even raise the question amid all the officially inspired hysteria is heretical. Yet a brilliant new BBC film produced by one of Britain's leading documentary filmmakers systematically challenges this. "The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear" ... argues coherently that much of what we have been told about the threat of international terrorism "is a fantasy that has been exaggerated and distorted by politicians. It is a dark illusion that has spread unquestioned ... around the world." Why have we heard so much frightening talk about "dirty bombs" when experts say it is panic rather than radioactivity that would kill people? Why did Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld claim on "Meet the Press" in 2001 that Al Qaeda controlled massive high-tech cave complexes in Afghanistan, when British and U.S. military forces later found no such thing? The film ... directly challenges the conventional wisdom by making a powerful case that the Bush administration, led by a tight-knit cabal of Machiavellian neoconservatives, has seized upon the false image of a unified international terrorist threat to replace the expired Soviet empire in order to push a political agenda. "The nightmare vision of a uniquely powerful hidden organization waiting to strike our societies is an illusion. Wherever one looks for this Al Qaeda organization, from the mountains of Afghanistan to the 'sleeper cells' in America, the British and Americans are chasing a phantom enemy."

U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba
2001-05-01, ABC News
http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=92662

In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban ?migr?s, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's ... Fidel Castro. America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and were presented to President Kennedy's defense secretary, Robert McNamara, in March 1962. But they apparently were rejected by the civilian leadership and have gone undisclosed for nearly 40 years. The Joint Chiefs even proposed using the potential death of astronaut John Glenn during the first attempt to put an American into orbit as a false pretext for war with Cuba. Should the rocket explode and kill Glenn, they wrote, "the objective is to provide irrevocable proof ? that the fault lies with the Communists." The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years after.

Note: Many military and political leaders tend to look at the world as a chess board <http://www.wanttoknow.info/brzezinskigrandchessboard> . Sacrificing pawns (innocent civilians) is sometimes necessary to capture the queen. Is it beyond comprehension that this might have been the case with 9/11 <http://www.WantToKnow.info/9-11cover-up> ?

Why I Resigned From the CIA
2004-12-05, Los Angeles Times
http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/opinion/la-oe-scheuer5dec05,1,471321... <http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/opinion/la-oe-scheuer5dec05,1,4713210.story> 

Michael Scheuer, a 22-year veteran of the CIA, wrote "Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror." Between January 1996 and June 1999 I was in charge of running operations against Al Qaeda from Washington. When it comes to this small slice of the large U.S. national security pie, I speak with firsthand experience (and for several score of CIA officers) when I state categorically that during this time senior White House officials repeatedly refused to act on sound intelligence that provided multiple chances to eliminate Osama bin Laden ? either by capture or by U.S. military attack. I witnessed and documented, along with dozens of other CIA officers, instances where life-risking intelligence-gathering work of the agency's men and women in the field was wasted. I was never charged with deciding whether to act against Bin Laden. That decision properly belongs solely to senior White House officials. However, as a now-private American citizen, it is my right to question their judgment; I am entitled to know why the protection of Americans ? most selfishly, my own children and grandchildren ? was not the top priority of the senior officials who refused to act on the opportunities to attack Bin Laden provided by the clandestine service. Each of these officials have publicly argued that the intelligence was not "good enough" to act, but they almost always neglect to say that they were repeatedly advised that the intelligence was not going to get better and that Bin Laden was going to kill thousands of Americans if he was not stopped.

Brainwash victims win cash claims
2004-10-17, London Times
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2090-1313808,00.html

Hundreds of mentally ill patients who were subjected to barbaric CIA-funded brainwashing experiments ... could be entitled to compensation following a landmark court ruling. Doctor Ewan Cameron, who became one of the world?s leading psychiatrists, developed techniques used by Nazi scientists to wipe out the existing personalities of people in his care. Cameron ... was recruited by the CIA during the cold war while working at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He carried out mind-control experiments using drugs such as LSD on hundreds of patients, but only 77 of them were awarded compensation. Now a landmark ruling by a Federal Court judge in Montreal will allow more than 250 former patients, whose claims were rejected, to seek compensation. Last week, Alan Stein, of Montreal law firm Stein and Stein ... confirmed he was in the process of contacting former clients who could now renew their appeal. ?There are about 200 people still due compensation,? he said. Using techniques similar to those portrayed in the celebrated novel the Manchurian Candidate, it was believed that people could be brainwashed and reprogrammed to carry out specific acts. Cameron developed a range of depatterning ?treatments?. Patients were woken from drug-induced stupors two or three times a day for multiple electric shocks. In a specially designed ?sleep room? made famous by Anne Collins?s book of the same name, Cameron placed a speaker under the patient?s pillow and relayed negative messages for 16 hours a day. Cameron ... rose to become the first president of the World Psychiatric Association.

US plans to fight the net revealed
2006-01-27, BBC News
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4655196.stm

A newly declassified document gives a fascinating glimpse into the US military's plans for "information operations". The declassified document is called "Information Operations Roadmap". It was obtained by the National <http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB177/index.htm>  Security Archive at George Washington University using the Freedom of Information Act. Officials in the Pentagon wrote it in 2003. The Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, signed it. The operations described in the document include a surprising range of military activities: public affairs officers who brief journalists, psychological operations troops who try to manipulate the thoughts and beliefs of an enemy, computer network attack specialists who seek to destroy enemy networks. The military's psychological operations, or Psyops <http://www.wanttoknow.info/060123psyops> , is finding its way onto the computer and television screens of ordinary Americans. "Psyops messages will often be replayed by the news media for much larger audiences, including the American public. Strategy should be based on the premise that the Department [of Defense] will 'fight the net' as it would an enemy weapons system," it reads. The document recommends that the United States should seek the ability to "provide maximum control of the entire electromagnetic spectrum". US forces should be able to "disrupt or destroy the full spectrum of globally emerging communications systems, sensors, and weapons systems dependent on the electromagnetic spectrum". The fact that the "Information Operations Roadmap" is approved by the Secretary of Defense suggests that these plans are taken very seriously indeed in the Pentagon.

Connections And Then Some

The Carlyle Group [is] an investment house famous as one of the most well-connected companies anywhere. Former president George H.W. Bush is a Carlyle adviser. Former British prime minister John Major heads its European arm. Former secretary of state James Baker is senior counselor, former White House budget chief Richard Darman is a partner, former SEC chairman Arthur Levitt is senior adviser -- the list goes on. Those associations have brought Carlyle enormous success. The Washington-based merchant bank controls nearly $14 billion in investments, making it the largest private equity manager in the world. It buys and sells whole companies the way some firms trade shares of stock. But the connections also have cost Carlyle. It has developed a reputation as the CIA of the business world -- omnipresent, powerful, a little sinister. Media outlets from the Village Voice to BusinessWeek <http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/07_07/b4021001.htm>  have depicted Carlyle as manipulating the levers of government from shadowy back rooms. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) even suggested that Carlyle's and Bush's ties to the Middle East made them somehow complicitous in the Sept. 11 terror attacks. It didn't help that as the World Trade Center burned on Sept. 11, 2001, the news interrupted a Carlyle business conference at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel here attended by a brother of Osama bin Laden. Former president Bush, a fellow investor, had been with him at the conference the previous day. Bush['s] primary function is to give speeches for Carlyle that attract wealthy foreigners in places where the former president is especially revered, such as Asia. The company has rewarded its faithful with a 36 percent average annual rate of return.

9/11 conspiracy theorists multiply
2006-09-08, MSNBC/Washington Post
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14723997

A recent Scripps Howard/Ohio <http://www.scrippsnews.com/911poll>  University poll of 1,010 Americans found that 36 percent suspect the U.S. government promoted the attacks or intentionally sat on its hands. Sixteen percent believe explosives brought down the towers. A Zogby International poll <http://www.zogby.com/news/readnews.cfm?ID=855>  of New York City residents two years ago found 49.3 percent believed the government "consciously failed to act." The loose agglomeration known as the "9/11 Truth Movement" has stopped looking for truth from the government. The academic wing <http://www.st911.org>  is led by [Prof. David Ray] Griffin, who founded the Center for a Postmodern World at Claremont University; James Fetzer, a tenured philosopher at the University of Minnesota; and Daniel Orr, the retired chairman of the economics department at the University of Illinois. The movement's de facto minister of engineering is Steven Jones <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_E._Jones> , a tenured physics professor at Brigham Young University, who's...concluded that the collapse of the twin towers is best explained as controlled demolition. Catherine Austin <http://www.wanttoknow.info/050908insidejob911#fitts>  Fitts served as assistant secretary of housing in the first President Bush's administration. [Robert] Bowman <http://www.wanttoknow.info/050908insidejob911#bowman>  was chief of advanced space programs under presidents Ford and Carter. Fitts and Bowman agree that the "most unbelievable conspiracy" theory is the one retailed by the government. It was a year before David Ray Griffin <http://www.wanttoknow.info/050504davidraygriffin> , an eminent liberal theologian and philosopher, began his stroll down the path of disbelief. He wondered why...military jets failed to intercept even one airliner. He read the 9/11 Commission report with a swell of anger. Contradictions were ignored and no military or civilian official was reprimanded. Griffin's book, "The <http://www.amazon.com/New-Pearl-Harbor-Disturbing-Administration/dp/1566565529/sr=1-1/qid=1163987185/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-3462640-4229555?ie=UTF8&s=books>  New Pearl Harbor"...never reviewed in a major U.S. newspaper, sold more than 100,000 copies and became a movement founding stone.

When Seeing and Hearing Isn't Believing
1999-02-01, Washington Post
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/national/dotmil/arkin020199.htm

"Gentlemen! We have called you together to inform you that we are going to overthrow the United States government." So begins a statement being delivered by Gen. Carl W. Steiner. At least the voice sounds amazingly like him. But it is not Steiner. It is the result of voice "morphing" technology developed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Psychological operations ... PSYOPS, as the military calls it, seek to exploit human vulnerabilities in enemy governments, militaries and populations to pursue national and battlefield objectives. Covert operators kicked around the idea of creating a computer-faked videotape of Saddam Hussein crying or showing other such manly weaknesses, or in some sexually compromising situation. The nascent plan was for the tapes to be flooded into Iraq and the Arab world. The tape war never proceeded...but the "strategic" PSYOPS scheming didn't die. What if the U.S. projected a holographic image of Allah floating over Baghdad urging the Iraqi people and Army to rise up against Saddam? According to a military physicist given the task of looking into the hologram idea, the feasibility had been established of projecting large, three-dimensional objects that appeared to float in the air. A super secret program was established in 1994 to pursue the very technology for PSYOPS application. The "Holographic Projector" is described in a classified Air Force document as a system to "project information power from space ... for special operations deception missions."

Leaked U.S. video shows deaths of Reuters' Iraqi staffers
2010-04-05, Washington Post/Reuters

Classified U.S. military video showing a 2007 attack by Apache helicopters that killed a dozen people in Baghdad, including two Reuters news staff, was released on [April 5] by a group that promotes leaking to fight government and corporate corruption. The group, WikiLeaks, told a news conference in Washington that it acquired encrypted video of the July 12, 2007, attack from military whistleblowers and had been able to view and investigate it after breaking the encryption code. A U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the video and audio were authentic. David Schlesinger, Reuters' editor-in-chief, said the video released by WikiLeaks showed the deaths of [Namir] Noor-Eldeen and [Saeed] Chmagh were "tragic and emblematic of the extreme dangers that exist in covering war zones." "The video released today via WikiLeaks is graphic evidence of the dangers involved in war journalism and the tragedies that can result," he said. Reuters has pressed the U.S. military to conduct a full and objective investigation into the killing of the two staff. WikiLeaks posted the video at http://www.collateralmurder.com.

Write More About Skull And Bones

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2004/10/27/notes102704.DTL

I get this a lot: Hey Mark ... why don't you quit toeing the typical blas? journalism line ... and instead write about the real truths? Like for example how both Kerry and Bush are members of mega-yuppie Yale secret society/boys' club Skull  <http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/10/02/60minutes/main576332.shtml> & Bones. And why, furthermore, don't you talk about the real truths of 9/11? Haven't you seen that amazing [9/11] video on that Web site <http://www.freedomunderground.org/memoryhole/pentagon.php#Main> ? And what about Building 7 <http://www.911review.org/Wiki/Building7Collapse.shtml> ? Why did that 47-story tower adjacent to the WTC collapse when it had no fire and no plane crash? Why isn't the media reporting any of this? Does this make you laugh? Scoff? It is, after all, incredibly easy to dismiss conspiracy theories. But you know what? It's not that easy. These people ... have a point. They are indeed onto something quite large and ominous and it very much has to do with the media toeing the line of "safe" information. There is indeed ample evidence that the U.S. government, long before 9/11, had already discussed the quite plausible possibilities and strategic benefits of unleashing a  <http://www.wanttoknow.info/9-11cover-up10pg#pnac> "Pearl Harbor"-type event on America. There are plenty of strangely unanswered questions about 9/11, about the stunning inaction of NORAD <http://www.wanttoknow.info/911starwars>  and Bush's stupefying nonreaction upon hearing of the attack, not to mention his administration's incredible attempts to halt any independent 9/11 investigations. Of course, no one in any major media will touch this stuff. It is professional suicide to dare suggest an alternate truth to the one supplied by the Pentagon and regurgitated by the media. And the truth is, we don't really want such unstable questions answered. We simply cannot tolerate to have our world, our leaders, our foundations so questioned. We prefer stasis to growth, security to true knowledge.

The 9/11 Secret in the CIA's Back Pocket
2004-10-19, Los Angeles Times
http://articles.latimes.com/2004/oct/19/opinion/oe-scheer19

It is shocking: The Bush administration is suppressing a CIA report on 9/11 until after the election, and this one names names. "It is infuriating that a report which shows that high-level people were not doing their jobs in a satisfactory manner before 9/11 is being suppressed," an intelligence official who has read the report told me. [The] release of the report, which represents an exhaustive 17-month investigation by an 11-member team within the agency, has been "stalled." First by acting CIA Director John McLaughlin and now by Porter J. Goss, the former Republican House member (and chairman of the Intelligence Committee) who recently was appointed CIA chief. The official stressed that the report was more blunt and more specific than the earlier bipartisan reports produced by the Bush-appointed Sept. 11 commission and Congress. "The report found very senior-level officials responsible." By law, the only legitimate reason the CIA director has for holding back such a report is national security. None of this should surprise us given the Bush administration's great determination since 9/11 to resist any serious investigation. The president fought against the creation of the Sept. 11 commission, for example, agreeing only after enormous political pressure was applied by a grass-roots movement led by the families of those slain. And then Bush refused to testify to the commission under oath. Instead he deigned only to chat with the commission members, with Vice President Dick Cheney present, in a White House meeting in which commission members were not allowed to take notes.

Transcript: Rice's Testimony on 9/11 (for 9/11 Commissioner Lehman)

LEHMAN. Were you told that there were numerous young Arab males in flight training? RICE. I was not. LEHMAN. Were you told that the red team in F.A.A. for 10 years had reported ... that the U.S. airport security system never got higher than 20 percent effective. RICE. To the best of my recollection I was not told that. LEHMAN. Were you aware that I.N.S. had quietly internally halved its internal security enforcement budget? RICE. I was not made aware of that. LEHMAN. Were you aware that it was the U.S. government established policy not to question or oppose the sanctuary policies [which] prohibited the local police from cooperating at all with federal immigration authorities?

[9/11] Hijack 'suspects' alive and well
2001-09-23, BBC News
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/1559151.stm

Another of the men named by the FBI as a hijacker in the suicide attacks on Washington and New York has turned up alive and well. The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt. Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September. His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world. He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks. He has contacted both the Saudi and American authorities. He acknowledges that he attended flight training school at Daytona Beach in the United States, and is indeed the same Waleed Al Shehri to whom the FBI has been referring. But, he says, he left the United States in September last year [and] became a pilot with Saudi Arabian airlines. Abdulaziz Al Omari, another of the Flight 11 hijack suspects ... says he is an engineer with Saudi Telecoms, and that he lost his passport while studying in Denver. Meanwhile ... a London-based Arabic daily says it has interviewed Saeed Alghamdi. He was listed by the FBI as a hijacker in the United flight that crashed in Pennsylvania. And there are suggestions that another suspect, Khalid Al Midhar, may also be alive. FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Thursday that the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt.

Obama gives order to kill American imam
2010-04-08, The Times (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article7089899.ece

The Obama Administration has taken the unprecedented step of authorising the killing of a US citizen, the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. The decision is extraordinary not only because Mr al-Awlaki is believed to be the first American whose killing has been approved by a US President, but also because the Obama Administration chose to make the move public. The Los Angeles Times reported in January that Mr al-Awlaki?s name had been placed on a top-secret list of targeted killings. In the past 24 hours, however, a handful of intelligence and counter-terrorism officials have briefed Reuters and The New York Times on the decision. The authorisation ... and the decision to make it public is a high-risk strategy. Tina Foster, of the US-based International Justice Network <http://www.ijnetwork.org/> , told The Times: ?It is shocking that our Government would go to these extremes, even depriving someone of their life without a legal process.? The policy of targeted killings is controversial. President Ford issued an order in 1976 banning political assassinations. Yet Congress approved the use of force against al-Qaeda after the September 11 attacks. 

Note: Obama is the first president to publicly order the assassination an American citizen. Neither George W. Bush nor Dick Cheney asserted such a power on the part of the president.

David Kelly death evidence 'to be kept secret for 70 years'
2010-01-25, Telegraph (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/7066383/David-Kelly-death-evidence-to-... <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/7066383/David-Kelly-death-evidence-to-be-kept-secret-for-70-years.html> 

A highly unusual ruling by Lord Hutton, who chaired the inquiry into Dr Kelly's death, means medical records including the post-mortem report will remain classified until after all those with a direct interest in the case are dead. And a 30-year secrecy order has been placed on written records provided to Lord Hutton's inquiry which were not produced in evidence. Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker, who has conducted his own investigations into Dr Kelly's death, described the order as "astonishing". Dr Kelly's body was found in woods close to his Oxfordshire home in 2003, shortly after it was revealed that he was the source of a BBC report casting doubt on the Government's claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction capable of being fired within 45 minutes. An inquest was suspended by then Lord Chancellor Lord Falconer, who ruled that Lord Hutton's inquiry could take its place. But ... the inquiry focused more on the question of how the BBC report came to be broadcast than on the medical explanation for Dr Kelly's death. Lord Hutton's report in 2004 concluded that Dr Kelly killed himself by cutting an artery in his wrist. But the finding has been challenged by doctors who claim that the weapons inspector's stated injuries were not serious enough.

Meet Mikey, 8: U.S. Has Him on Watch List
2010-01-14, New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/14/nyregion/14watchlist.html

The Transportation Security Administration ... has on its web site a ?mythbuster? that tries to reassure the public. Myth: The No-Fly list includes an 8-year-old boy. Buster: No 8-year-old is on a T.S.A. watch list. ?Meet Mikey Hicks,? said Najlah Feanny Hicks, introducing her 8-year-old son, a New Jersey Cub Scout and frequent traveler who has seldom boarded a plane without a hassle because he shares the name of a suspicious person. ?It?s not a myth.? Hicks?s mother initially sensed trouble when he was a baby and she could not get a seat for him on their flight to Florida at an airport kiosk; airline officials explained that his name ?was on the list,? she recalled. The first time he was patted down, at Newark Liberty International Airport, Mikey was 2. He cried. After years of long delays and waits for supervisors at every airport ticket counter, this year?s vacation to the Bahamas badly shook up the family. Mikey was frisked on the way there, then more aggressively on the way home. ?Up your arms, down your arms, up your crotch ? someone is patting your 8-year-old down like he?s a criminal,? Mrs. Hicks recounted. It is true that Mikey is not on the federal government?s ?no-fly? list, which includes about 2,500 people, less than 10 percent of them from the United States. But his name appears to be among some 13,500 on the larger ?selectee? list, which sets off a high level of security screening.

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS

 

When I was looking for the quote by Oriah Mountain Dreamer, I accidentally
(?) came across this article and felt it was something that should be shared
today.  No one should ever be in doubt of the power of the human mind.  But
we each need to know how to configure our minds and manage the power that
lives there. May this information be assimilated and applied relative to the
Global Coherence Initiative or any other meditation.  

 

 Thanks to the "Spirit of Maat" for the original publication of this.  

 

http://www.spiritofmaat.com/archive/mar2/tiller.htm 

Dr. William Tiller on Free Energy 

As described in Celeste Adams's interview (see The Conscious
<http://www.spiritofmaat.com/archive/mar2/tiller1.htm>  Creation of a New
Paradigm), Dr. William A. Tiller's studies and experiments have proven that
human consciousness "changes space." And he explains how this works in a way
that's easy for us to follow and understand.

 

But further - and of importance to the subject matter of our current issue -
he demonstrates not only that Zero Point Energy is, for all practical
purposes, absolutely limitless, but that in it lies our future potential.

 

It's not a hoax, and it's not "science fiction." It's science fact. It's
real, and it's coming soon.

 

Proving Scientifically that Mind Affects Matter

 

Dr. Tiller's experiments to demonstrate the effect of mind over matter began
by imprinting electrical devices with a specific intention. The imprinting
was done by four experienced meditators, people who Tiller says were "highly
inner-self-managed people."

 

Then this device - imprinted with the intent - was wrapped in aluminum and
sent by overnight shipping to a laboratory 2000 miles away, where it was
placed beside the "target experiment" and turned on.

 

So, for example, the electrical device might be imprinted with the idea of
raising or lowering the pH of water. And if the device was turned on in the
vicinity of a jar of water, the expectation was that the pH of the water
would be raised or lowered, depending upon the original intent.

 

In the case of that particular experiment, they were looking for at least a
full pH unit of difference, something large enough that the results could
not be attributed to faulty measurement (it's possible to measure 1/100th or
even 1/1000th of a degree of change in pH, so one full unit is a lot).

 

So the first result was that they were in fact able to achieve an
unambiguous change in the water's pH state simply through its being in the
vicinity of an electrical device that had been imprinted with that intent.
And they were able to raise pH (or lower it, depending upon the intent) in
this way by as much as 1-1/2 full units, a very large amount.

 

The Effect of Repeated Experiments

 

It was when the same experiment was repeated over and over, however, that
the really significant effects began to show. For Tiller has found and
proved that when intent is repeated in the same space, eventually it becomes
permanent. And when that happens, the laws of physics in that space no
longer operate as they did before! (For a homely but meaningful analogy, can
you remember when it was "impossible" for man to run a four-minute mile?)

 

When they kept running the same experiment over and over again, Tiller says,
the laboratory began to become "conditioned," so that the same result would
happen more strongly or more quickly. And eventually, it would happen even
after the device was no longer in the room.

 

"In one of the spaces that we have used," Tiller says, "the alteration in
the space of the room has remained stable for well over a year, and it's
still going strong." (Today, if you can't run a four-minute mile they won't
let you on the track team.)

 

In physical terms, what does this mean? What has actually happened to the
"space" of the laboratory room?

 

Tiller explains, "The experimental data we gather seems to indicate that it
raises what is called the 'physics gauge symmetry' of the room."

 

For example, in one experiment they would put a disk-like DC magnet under
the jar of water for three days with the north pole up, and measure the pH.
Then they would do the same with the south pole up. They wanted to know
whether there would be a difference in pH change in the water depending upon
which pole was up.

 

"In a 'normal space,' which is called a U{1}-Gauge space," Tiller says,

. . .the magnetic force is proportional to the gradient of the square of the
magnetic field. This simply means that if you do that experiment in a
"normal space," there will be no difference, no matter which way the magnet
is turned.

 

In this "conditioned space," though, we have been able to get differences of
1-1/2 pH units depending upon which way the magnet was turned. Very big
effects.

What this basically means is that the law of physics which says that the
magnetic force is proportional to the gradient of the square of the magnetic
field has been changed in this space! Tiller says:

 

The only way that can happen is if you've raised the gauge symmetry from the
U{1} Gauge to something approximating what is called the SU{2} Gauge. With
SU{2}-Gauge symmetry, you have electric monopole and magnetic monopole
substances functioning, not magnetic dipoles as you have in a U{1} space.

 

So somehow, by our procedures, we have created mixed-gauge symmetry. We've
produced some elements of SU{2}-Gauge symmetry, because that's the only way
you can get a polarity effect.

 

That says that we are producing domains of order in the vacuum!

The Vacuum Contains Non-Physical "Stuff"

 

But isn't the vacuum a - well, a vacuum? Like, nothing?

 

No, Tiller points out, actually a vacuum contains dense energy potential.
But in U{1}-Gauge symmetry, that potential is chaotic and amorphous. It has
no basic effect on the physical universe.

 

But with SU{2}-Gauge symmetry, he says, there is an ordered alteration, a
change that takes place. SU{2}-Gauge symmetry actually changes the state of
the particles that make up physical reality. And since Tiller has shown that
the order thus created in the vacuum is based upon human intent, this shows
that we can actually harness the power of the vacuum through our
consciousness.

 

How Much Power Are We Talking About

 

Assuming that we can use experiments like this to learn how to tap the
energy of the vacuum, how much potential is there within this "vacuum
stuff"?

 

Again, the answer to this begins with the understanding that the vacuum is
not empty or void. It's empty only of physical matter. However, the vacuum
contains "energy density." This is actually the central concept of "free
energy."

 

As Tiller says:

 

Quantum mechanics and relativity theory are the two prime theoretical
constructs of modern physics, and for quantum mechanics and relativity
theory to be internally self-consistent, their calculations require that the
vacuum must contain an energy density 1094 grams per cubic centimeter.

How much energy is that? To find out, Tiller says, you simply use Einstein's
equation: e=MC2.

 

Here's how this comes out in practical terms. You could take the volume of,
say, a single hydrogen atom (which is incredibly small, an infinitesimally
small fraction of a cubic centimeter), and multiply that by the average mass
density of the cosmos, a number which is known to astronomers. And what you
find out, Tiller says, is that within the amount of vacuum contained in this
hydrogen atom there is, according to this calculation, "almost a trillion
times as much energy as in all of the stars and all of the planets out to a
radius of 20 billion light years!"

 

If human consciousness can interact with that even a little bit, it can
change things in matter. Because the ground state energies of all particles
have that energy level due to their interaction with this stuff of the
vacuum. So if you can shift that stuff of the vacuum, change its degree of
order or coherence even a little bit, you can change the ground state
energies of particles, atoms, molecules, and chemical equations.

In conclusion, despite our attachment to it and our feeling of its solidity
and persistence, what we think of as the physical universe is an almost
incomprehensibly miniscule part of the immensity of All That Is.

 

Our future, Dr. Tiller is telling us, lies in harnessing the energies that
lie hidden in the spaces between the particles, atoms, molecules, planets,
stars, and galaxies of the physical universe. . .

 

"Matter as we know it," Tiller concludes poetically, "is hardly a fragrance
of a whisper."

The Benefits of Amla: The Ayurvedic Super-Herb You Probably Don't Know
For nearly six thousand years, Ayurvedic medicine has utilized the benefits
of amla, a round, yellow, bitter fruit also known as the Indian gooseberry.
Amla is so bitter and so sour that it will literally make your hair stand on
end, and that makes it wonderfully useful in natural medicine.

Message-ID: <001f01cb2b7f$17635d60$462a1820$@net>

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS

 

Thanks to Marilyn Nyborg for forwarding this article from Kathie Murtey,
written by Lynn McTaggart,  and for her observations as she provides an
introduction.  

 

Marilyn, I very much agree with you regarding the role that women must play
today as we take our rightful place beside and as partner's with men.  A
place from which we were disenfranchised in ancient times, as the
aristocrats of that time along with the male priests decided they wanted
control.  Prior to that time, as told by Riane Eisler in her book: "The
Chalice and the Blade," much of which is based on the findings of the female
archaeologist, Marija Gimbutas, that there existed in the Neolithic Age a
peaceful "partnership society" in which men and women were considered
equals, however, with land and other valuable holdings being passed down on
the female or Goddess side of the partnership.  

 

This was a time of worship of the Great Mother - with the Great Mother being
Ninharsag - the creator of the woman Eve as she took the bone marrow from
the rib of The Adam and cloned her.  Ninharsag was the wife of the God Enki
who brought 600 males from the Planet Nibiru some 432,000 years ago as is
told both in the Bible and in the Sumerian Tablets. The 600 men would later
be called "Fallen Angels" as they mated with the daughters of Eve, although
forbidden to do so.  This is a vital part of both history and herstory that
has been omitted and must be inserted back into the picture so that we may
see and embrace the whole. 

 

While I am skipping a great deal here in the interests of time and brevity,
the Goddesses, as the women of this time came to be known, lived in the
Temples that were erected to honor The Great Mother. And, it was customary
for these women to service all of the men in their area even though they
might be married to one of them.  It was part of the rites of the Temple at
that time that they do so.  However, what happened was as the women passed
down the land and other valuable rights to their children, some were left
out as no one knew whose child was whose as far as the men were concerned.
And this made some very unhappy as they wanted to know whose child belonged
to whom and what their rights were.

 

Again, skipping a great deal, this is how Christianity as we know it today
came into being as the Levites, as they were known, demanded an end to this
practice of the Goddesses servicing all of the men, and brought what is
known as the "sanctity of marriage" into being with the Church being the
institution that granted sanctity to the marriage, and which also baptized
the child assuring that it would belong to the Church.  And, it is also why
the rights of women were suppressed and an all male rule came into being. An
all male rule that worshipped the God (Enki) who had brought life to planet
Earth in the form of homo sapiens as we know ourselves today.  It is also
why in some cultures, women are considered to be little more than
prostitutes and servants of men, forbidden to go out of the home uncovered,
and are stoned and beaten even today when they are raped.  More of this
story is told in Merlin Stone's book, "When God Was a Woman."   

 

I have spent much time researching this, but still do not have all the links
in place, as did neither Eisler or Stone, and certainly this all ties into
Zechariah Sitchen's work in the Earth Chronicles, and all  is to be
incorporated into my book:  "The Sacred Quest For The Who Of I Am" when it
Is finally written.  But this is also something that due to the enormous
amount of material that must be reviewed and accurately recorded, one person
cannot do alone.  Or, if I do it alone, it will take a very long time to
accomplish.  However, this very much needs to be recorded in order to
supplement the parts that were intentionally left out of the Bible in order
that the truth BE known and women can take their rightful place in society
with no questions asked.  This is part of what I believe to be our ascending
consciousness as we approach 2012. 

 

And as Marilyn writes below, we owe it to ourselves to do this so that
herstory is accurately brought into the light, but at the same time, we need
to consider what the truth of history is and to aid our male companions in
honoring their feminine side once again so that we may together embrace our
wholeness. 

 

And, while this may all seem to be unrelated to the story of the Gulf as
Lynn McTaggart views it, one of the things to remember is that men have been
the main decision makers for centuries and their influence has largely
shaped our world as it is today. And, I don't see that there were many women
involved in the Gulf incident except that we along with men are guilty as
hell of creating demand for oil.  But, if we can understand this, it had to
be this way - we had to create this in order to learn that this is not where
we want to be.  It is the way we evolve - everything really is the way it
should be.   This is not the end, even though it may appear to be Apocalypse
Now - it really is the beginning of a new age the way it has always been.
You can see it written in the stars.

Subject: From my friend Kathie Murtey. 

 

I'm including an article.  It points to more of the changes that need to be
made.  There is no mention of gender yet as women we have much to do.  It
seems to me at this point in history we women of the western world
especially, have much to do.  We need to become aware of our herstory,
awaken to the impact of this mostly unwritten herstory, and break through
the constraints this herstory offers us. We are awakening now.  We are
learning how to cooperate, collaborate and celebrate our radiance as women.
We need to model what is possible for women everywhere.  We need to step
into our individual and collective power. We are doing this for all
humanity. Yet we must awaken as women first so we can more ably partner with
men.  Research has shown women carry with them an awareness of
relationships, we have a concern for 'the whole', when women's lives improve
the lives of families and communities improve.  We are a direct descendant
of the Divine, we do not need to go through a man, men or a masculine God to
experience our connection.  Awakening to who we are, who we have been and
who we can be for the world is a step not to be missed.  If we do miss this
step, we will unconsciously step in to the patriarchy and unconsciously
perpetuate it.

Well, after all, it was you and me

by Lynn McTaggert
June 25th, 2010

Last week I watched the spectacle of US Senators behaving very
righteously, as they scrambled over each other to shoot BP chief
executive Tony Hayward, with Hayward clumsily dodging their bullets.

The culpability for the Gulf Oil spill is being laid at Haywards door,
as an example of individual corporate irresponsibility in the drive for
ever increasing profits.

There is some truth to that, of course.  Cutting corners oN safety for
profit is essentially the daily bread of corporate life. The banking
industry and ongoing world financial crisis immediately come to mind.

Nevertheless, to believe that the entire problem stems from a single
corporations negligence is to miss the entire lesson of this
experience and its important role in our evolution. 

 

Nevertheless, to believe that the entire problem stems from a single
corporations negligence is to miss the entire lesson of this
experience and its important role in our evolution.

AN OILY WORLD

BP is being demonized at the sole villain of the piece here, but the
fact is that BP, like every other petroleum company, is simply doing
what any corporation does, which is responding to demand.

The modern industrial world is created from oil. Oil doesnt just power
our automobiles and heat our houses.  Most everything manufactured
these days, in some way, derives from oil.  Virtually all plastics are
made from petroleum.  Most prescription and over-the-counter drugs have
some form of petroleum at their base, as do most cosmetics.

As I write this, the lipstick and mascara Im wearing contain
petroleum.  The Apple computer Im writing on is made of
petroleum-based plastic. Even if I were to leave my car at home and
bike to my office, Id Ill be driving over petroleum-based asphalt.  I
could try to save oil by eating by candlelight tonight, but Id still
be using a petroleum product.  If I need to call my husband or children
later Ill be speaking to them via an instrument made of petroleum. We
eat organic food and use eco-products in this house, but we, like
everyone else, are drowning in petroleum.

Detergents, soaps, rubber bands, almost all cosmetics, perfumes, most
of what we clean our houses with, flooring, sports equipment, contact
lenses, disposable diapers, paints and paint thinners, garden hoses,
many components of automobiles like batteries, most modern boats,
virtually every toilet seat, balloons, shower curtains, crayons, golf
balls, dental floss and toothbrushes, sunglasses, condoms  all this
and much more are made of oil.
Every aspect of our modern-day food production and consumption requires
petroleum, from the fertilizer used to grow it, to the mechanized
processing used to produce it, the trucks used to distribute it, the
refrigerators and plastic packaging required to keep it fresh, and the
ovens used to cook it.

Given the fact that oil has been so interwoven with modern mod-con
life, it is not surprising that the earth is running out of it. All
Western petroleum companies know this. Big Oil only owns some 10 per
cent of global oil and gas reserves. All the rest is in the hands of
the state-owned oil companies of Saudi Arabia, Russia, Venezuela and
Iran. That is why they are having to look deeper and deeper into the
earth to find whatever stores are left.

All the petroleum companies are moving out further into the sea and
drilling deeper to get oil.  There are 12 deepwater oil fields in the
Gulf of Mexico deeper than 40m, and 15 off the coast of Brazil.
Besides BPs Deepwater Horizon, 31 other rigs drill in deep water in
the Gulf, seven of them just set up in 2008. About a third of our oil
is now being obtained offshore, with a marginal amount from shallow
waters.

RISKY BUSINESS

Deep water drilling is inherently risky. The difference in temperature
between the water (at 41 degrees Fahrenheit) and the boiling oil puts
enormous stress on all equipment used.  The platform itself is
unstable.  But the biggest problem of all is the extraordinary pressure
in the underground reservoirs, in which every square centimeter
contains the weight of an ordinary-sized car.

Every time you drill into the rock layers of the seabed you risk a
Deepwater Horizon type explosion, in which the fuel shoots out of the
ground and cannot be contained. Deepwater drilling is an accident
waiting to happen.

No matter how careful an individual company, there is no plan B if
something goes wrong. Containment of an explosion requires cutting-edge
measures that essentially havent been invented yet.

EVOLUTIONARY EVENT

The point here is that as tragic as this explosion was, for the
animals, for the Gulf residents whose livelihood is destroyed, and for
all of us watching helplessly as the oil slick grows the size of a
small country, it was necessary and important to our evolution.  Giant
ecological disaster seems to be the only way to wake up human beings to
the need to do things differently.

In a sense, it was also necessary that it happen in America  and I say
this as an American myself.  The world consumes 85 million barrels of
oil per day, and America consumes nearly one-quarter of that. America
is the sole country in the world that refused to sign the Kyoto
Agreement. It is one of the few developed countries to spend almost
none of its public money on alternatives to the automobile, such as
high rail travel. Unlike Europe, the US continues to eschew high taxes
on gasoline as a disincentive to drive.

Many of the Senators who were so highhanded about Tony Hayward have
consistently opposed a Clean Energy Bill and attempted to pass a bill
preventing the Environmental Protection Agency from enforcing pollution
standards against greenhouse emissions. In fact, the petroleum industry
oils a fair portion of their campaigns.

BIGGER THAN SUVS

Lately, we Americans have cut back on their reliance on big SUVs and
cars in general, but the problem is far greater than driving a little
less.

We must all realize that this is no one companys or countrys problem.
We dont just have to drive differently.  The Gulf disaster signals the
end of a petroleum-based world.  What this requires is that we come to
terms with the fact that that we have to live differently, produce
things differently, consume things differently.

Its time for us all to take responsibility for Deepwater Horizons by
doing whatever we can, individually and collectively, to evolve a
society that does not depend on oil at every turn.
Since the Gulf of Mexico explosion, words from an old Rolling Stone
song keep rattling around in my head. The song is Sympathy for the
Devil, and the line goes like this:
I shouted out, Who killed the Kennedys?
Well, after all, it was you and me
.
I have an intention that we heal the area, but mostly that we heal
ourselves and our division from the natural world.  It is important to
view the Gulf disaster, however painful, as something positive 
natures early warning signal to make changes in our lives now before
it is too late.

Do You Find Yourself In "Overload" These Days? 

Here at Natural Solutions Foundation we understand that there are more issues impacting your life than anyone can hope to keep track of.  That is part of the Plan, THEIR plan.  Like a bull in a bull ring, with a dozen people racing in front of him, sticking him with spears, waving flags in front of him, who does not know which way to turn to protect himself first, we are all being attacked and distracted by new crises and issues at every turn.

To be frank, every time the government agencies (like the FDA), or their international counterparts (like WHO and Codex) pull another shenanigan, we at the Natural Solutions Foundation groan because we have more to research, another issue to find the vulnerable fulcrum for, another Action item and more articles to write, interviews to give and results to track. (Please see the important links right below this urgent message so you can take each of those Action Items.)  It is, after all, freedom's price.

After all, that's what we do for you...
And we know you value us for it!

The All-Front Burner Stove

  <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/images/Big_Stove_from_Alan_loftis.jpg> 

Big Stove: New World Order Domination, Depopulation and Control Heat-Up System

The Plan includes keeping so many pots at the boil on the front burners of their REALLY big stove that instead of being able to keep up with them, you fatigue, your get burned out and suddenly you stop caring what's in the next pot - leaving the crisis makers and managers free reign to do whatever they like. 

That's their REALLY Big Stovbe.  Our REALLY Big Stove - not the one at the BeyondOrganic BioDynamic? Internet Caf? that will be opening at the Natural Solutions Center... but our metaphoric Really Big Stove where we keep the issues simmering and sometimes boiling is what I want to talk to you about today... 

Here are the vital Health Freedom issues on the front burner right now - and, as you can see, it's a REALLY big stove. In fact, their stove has a brand name: "NWODDCHUS" or "New World Order Domination, Depopulation and Control Heat-Up System".

  <https://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/images/Witchesbrew> 


Burner 1: Vaccines for illness marketing and depopulation (Oh, by the way, did you see the new study that shows that women and girls who get the Gardasil shot series have MORE cervical cancer than those that don't? http://www.examiner.com/x-40801-Vaccines-Examiner~y2010m6d30-Warning-Gardasil-may-cause-increased-risk-of-cervical-cancer

And are they less fertile?  No one knows yet, but I strongly suspect so.)

Burner 2: Compulsory drugging and forced vaccination -- CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, (ACIP) now "recommends,"  (so the States can then "mandate") a flu shot every year for everyone 6 months and over.  That flu shot will include the untested and dangerous H1N1 vaccine despite the lack of any medical justification and the evidence of hundreds of miscarriages associated with receiving H1N1 vaccines.  And then there's compulsory drugging for pregnant mothers and a host of other faux-prevention strategies which all equal more drugs, more deaths, more damage, for us, but more dollars for Big Pharma and the Uber-Cartel.)

Take Action! http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4376 <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=5w3y0ocOHWGeyXBQlrLSjwf8BIJXdjTP> 

Support our law suite against the FDA to "Stop the Shot!": http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189 <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=XURQzjjWW%2BvpURhVsr35ngf8BIJXdjTP> 

Burner 3: Complete the industrialization and degradation of the food supply via passage of S.510 through deceptive "unanimous consent" end of session Congressional action (which assumes that Americans are so beach-besotted that we will not notice until the damage is done).

Take Action! http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4252

Burner 4: Destroy the lives and capacities of generations of Americans by ignoring the neuro-tragedy which is caused by drugs and vaccines -- stonewall and lie, allowing the totally corrupt FDA to "determine" that vaccines are "safe", that psychoactive drugs are "safe", that there is no toxicity to mercury and other horrors, and make no attempt to find, or fix, these atrocities since they results in tragedies beneficial to the NWODDCHUS -

a. lower protest capacity from damaged individuals and distracted, distraught families;

b. higher profits since medication and "health" "care" costs are enormous for these families;

c. shorter lifespans for the afflicted and their stress-ridden family members;

d. lower reproductive rate for a significant segment of the now-damaged population.

Take Action! http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=3688 <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Ma46zag7ebkMAyPrE8PdqQf8BIJXdjTP> 

Burner 5: Forced medical decisions leading to -

a. Early "termination" by withholding medication, food and water based on actuarial, not personal, decisions of bureaucrats and carried out by specially empowered doctors WITHOUT CONSULTATION OR APPROVAL OF THE PATIENT OR FAMILY MEMBERS.  (Parenthetically, this is what killed my 97 year old father earlier this year - an unapproved, unnecessary "medical" decision to "turn off" an old, but alert, man.)!

b. Submission to mandatory vaccination and other faux-"preventive" strategies before injured or ill individuals are allowed to get any "treatment" under the Obamacare system, including emergency access to ER services!

c. Forced participation in a politicized triage program designed to ration your health care and tax you beyond the reality limits of your income!

d. Degraded care and quality of life for all but the elite, including present, future and former members of Congress, for whom the rules are strikingly different.

Take Action!  <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=fVjsXS14Nyk5B0h3wAwqPQf8BIJXdjTP> http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4078

Burner 6. Forced, secret degradation of food through the application of Codex approved "standards" and "guidelines" which include, but are absolutely not limited to:

a. Unlabeled GMO food as a global standard despite the ecological and medical insanity of this death technology and the violation of the Precautionary Principle embodied in the policy of not requiring independent third-party testing before any release into the environment;

b. Unlabeled, unlimited amounts of dangerous pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other toxins etc., in food;

c. Unlabeled, unsafe and insane upper limits of heavy metals, antibiotic residues and other food contamination so high that no food can be considered safe unless you grow it yourself - but wait!  You won't be able to if S. 510 sneaks through in the US.  If you're outside the US, your country will follow the US lead because of Codex and the WTO - unless, of course, you take control of the process, help get the US out of Codex and help your government take the Codex Two Step Process to protect you!

d. Endlessly irradiated foods;

e. Nutrient reference values (for foods and supplements) so low that they absolutely guarantee real pandemics of cancer and the other diseases of under nutrition;

f. Unlabeled additions of industry-friendly poisons like ractopamine to food and food animals for the benefit of the Uber-Cartel, which includes Big Finance, Big Pharma, Big Agribiz, Big Biotech, Big Chema and Big Medicine  -- and, of course, the Big Govt that makes them possible.

Take Action! http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=4279 <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=IpBZvV9f3cETtapsi2X%2FGwf8BIJXdjTP> 

Burner 7: Taking away our First Amendment rights to associate together and talk about, and learn what food and food components - and toxins, will do for us, in the first case, and to us, in the second case.  FDA, FTC and EPA are bound and determined to make sure that we have no legal right to know how they are allowing us to be harmed and, indeed, killed, by their actions and protected products  - and, similarly, no legal redress in the courts where our petitions of grievances are met by govt lawyer claims that citizens don't have "standing to sue."

Take Action! http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=3729 <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=VlOV%2B%2FKSrB56cgh2t1NSEAf8BIJXdjTP> 

Burner 8: Stopping the FDA's stealth mis-labeling of natural devices, supplements, herbs and healthful foods as "drugs" or "devices" which (they claim) have not been tested or approved and so are illegal for sale in the US (FDA tried this in 2008 and we beat them back when 688,000 people said, "Don't you DARE!". 

Take Action!  <http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=LuUKWvLdcgDR8RYEHhi%2BtAf8BIJXdjTP> http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=2521

Support our lawsuit against the FDA: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189

We told you they would be back and, like termites, they are!  This time, they started with the little known, low income item called "ear candles" that are used in the traditional, natural relaxation and comfort activity known as Holistic Candling. That's why Natural Solutions Foundation is suing the FDA over their attack on this non-medical comfort device.  But they have also raided and closed down an ozone device manufacturer recently, menaced a detox pad maker, told cherry producers, cereal makers and walnut producers that sharing the science about their foods is illegal.... and they keep on going.  

We're here to stop them from menacing our food, our health and our freedom, because YOU are there, taking action and making donations to keep our work alive.) We agree with US Supreme Court in the 2002 Thomson v Western case, which said the government has no legitimate interest in stopping people from making even what the govt considers to be "bad" decisions based on truthful information. Apparently the FDA doesn't.

Moving into: TOTAL WELLNESS 

 

What if everything you thought you knew about life here on Earth suddenly
changed and everything was revealed as a lie? This film, which I urge
everyone to watch may be the event that changes what you believe, or, at
least makes you begin your own investigation.  Which is what happened to me,
not with this video but with a book entitled "Cultural Vision - A Memeplex
for the Cultural Evolution"  written by J. Martin Knutsen and published in
2003 by iUniverse, Inc.  In this book, Martin wrote about "The Christ Cult"
and the similarities between what has been written about Jesus in the
gospels of Matthew, John and Luke,  and what had previously been written in
the mythology of Greek, Jewish and Mythraic myths and taken from their
ceremonies.  But the similarities are many writes Knutsen:  

 

The bread and wine of mass was a ritual already in place with Dionysus, son
of Zeus, whose blood was drunk as a transubstantiated wine.  The Mythriac
cult drank the blood of the bulls.  December 25th was their Holy Day.  The
Christian Church chose the bull,  the idol of their competition, to
symbolize the devil.  The concept of the son of God being heir to his
father's kingdom is ever present in Greek mythology, as is the tradition of
dying a noble death.  Easter was originally a springtime pagan fertility
celebration.  Eggs which represent fertility and the prolifically fertile
bunnies are obvious ties to the ancient tradition, as is even the very name
of the celebration: Easter is named for the Teutonic goddess Eostre, the
Goddess of Spring.  Sunday was the day of the week the Romans set aside to
worship their Sun god.   

 

There was much debate in the early Christine theological circles as to
whether or not Jesus was connected to Judaism as well.  They debated whether
or not it was Yaweh who was the Father of Jesus,  or a higher power.  There
was a great effort to tie the old and the New Testament together so that the
prophecies in the Old could be seen as being fulfilled in the New. 

 

As to Islam, In the year 610 (CE) an Arab merchant in the city of Mecca
named Muhammad ibn Abdallah became convinced he was receiving revelations
from the God of Moses. And, the simplicity of his concepts spread throughout
the Middle East and from Spain to India. His revelations were written by
scribes and collected together some years after his death.  Such was the
birth of Islam. 

 

As he proceeds in the book, Knutsen tells as to how the myths associated
with an "Agri-cultural" society such as took place with regard to Jesus and
his Father in Heaven were formed. Basically, the deities these people
worshipped at this time were patterned after what was familiar to them.
Most of them were "herders" acting as shephards to  the animals they cared
for: sheep, goats and cattle. And they patterned the Gods they worshipped as
"good shephards of their people".   Such was the way that religions came
into being. And, here we are thousands of years later, tied to the same
mythologies as these people believed in then.  One only has to think of some
of the wording used to recognize this. For instance: "The Lord is my
shepherd." "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures" etc., etc. 

 

But in addition to this, as I have written previously -drug use was
prevalent at that time, and much of what we go by today was written in
drug-induced states.   Yet, here today, we lock people up and imprison them
for life for using these same drugs or ones like them.  

 

Please review this video - I have also posted a review of it for your
convenience.

Review

by Martin W. Ball, Ph.D., author and host of the Entheogenic Evolution
Podcast

The Pharmacratic Inquisition is a provocative film from Gnostic Media that
makes the argument that virtually all of the mythology, symbolism, and story
of Jesus and related Christian traditions relate to two basic subjects:
astrology and shamanism. For those unfamiliar with the evidence in support
of this claim, this film can be truly eye opening and revolutionary.

Much of the material for this film rests upon the work of John Allegro.
Allegro was one of the original scholars chosen to translate the Dead Sea
Scrolls, ancient Christian texts that were discovered in Qumram near the
Dead Sea in the middle of the 20th century. Unlike his colleagues, Allegro
was not beholden to the Catholic Church and therefore was able to develop
his theories and interpretations free from Catholic dogma. The result was
the radical claim that Jesus was a psychoactive mushroom. In particular,
Allegro argued that the mythology and symbolism surrounding the Christ
figure all point to Amanita muscaria mushrooms, the iconic red and white
mushroom so common in Christmas symbolism and imagery.

The amanita mushroom plays a central role in this film and is presented as
the basis for the shamanic elements in Christianity. Amanitas have a long
history of use among northern European and Siberian shamans - the very
cultures from which the term "shaman" originates. Within these cultures,
"shamanism" was synonymous with amanita use and knowledge of its
psychoactive properties were well known throughout that region of the world.
That the shamanic use of the amanita might influence Christianity should
therefore not necessarily be a surprise, but the argument that Jesus
actually is an amanita, and not a historical figure, is probably a surprise
to most.

The film makes a compelling argument for this connection between Jesus and
the amanita, and even psilocybin mushrooms, through the presentation of
Christian symbolism, iconography, and imagery. When one looks closely at the
Catholic Church, amanita symbolism appears to abound from the clothing of
popes and cardinals to frescos, arch ways, and church architecture. Even the
myths themselves, such as that of the Holy Grail, seem to fall within the
category of amanita symbolism. Indeed, when the images are presented in this
manner, the comparison to amanita becomes immediately obvious and difficult
to argue against.

Even Santa Claus gets the amanita treatment in this film. Here the jolly old
elf is presented in the context of northern European shamanism where,
according to tradition, the shaman would dry his amanitas from a conifer
tree and then visit the yurts of his community, entering through the smoke
hole to bring gifts of sacred mushrooms to the people. It is not much of a
stretch to see that these reindeer herding shamans were the iconic model for
the fat red and white clothed Santa, who himself looks very much like an
amanita mushroom.

In addition to the influence of shamanism and psychoactive mushrooms on
Christianity, the film also investigates the relationship between astrology
and astronomy to the Christ myth. Here the filmmakers provide compelling
arguments for the correlation between the Christ myth and the Winter
Solstice sky and the zodiacal ages, graphically demonstrating how such tales
of the shining star, the three kings, and the death and resurrection of
Jesus all fit within previously known facts about the night sky and the
change of seasons.

Ultimately, the Pharmacratic Inquisition challenges many of the assumptions
and beliefs we may have about Christianity and its central figures,
providing provocative evidence that things are not as they seem within this
tradition. If true, the question then becomes: does the Catholic Church
still use amanita mushrooms secretly within the confines of the Vatican?
Have they really been withholding this fundamental truth for two millennia,
or have even they come to believe the myths that were created to both
communicate and conceal the true identity of Jesus Christ? Watch this film
and make up your own mind.

LIVE from Las Vegas: Closing curtains for Netroots Nation 2010 at the Rio
http://www.nwprogressive.org/weblog/2010/07/live-from-las-vegas-closing-curt
ains.html
Saturday, July 24, 2010
   We've reached the end of the third day of Netroots Nation 2010, which
means that the fifth annual gathering of America's progressive online
community is drawing to a close. It's been a truly wonderful convention,
with informative panels, energizing keynotes, and fun-filled parties packed
back to back for eighteen hours each day. But all good things have to end
at some point, and Netroots Nation is no exception. 
   Our master of ceremonies tonight is Laura Flanders, an acclaimed author
and journalist who previously hosted her own talk show on Air America
Radio. In her opening remarks, Laura cracked some jokes at the expense of
RightOnline, the right wing confab that follows Netroots Nation around
every year (and has since the third Netroots Nation in Austin, Texas).
Laura was at RightOnline earlier today to observe firsthand what they're up
to; she wasn't impressed with what she saw.

Chefs and parents plot a lunch revolution at one D.C. public school 
by Ed Bruske 21 Jul 2010 4:00 AM
http://www.grist.org/article/food-chefs-and-parents-plot-lunch-revolution-at
-D.C.-public-school/
   A group of prominent Washington, D.C.-area restaurant chefs has
volunteered to introduce a novel concept in school-food service to one
Capitol Hill elementary school: collaborating with parents to take over
kitchen operations on a nonprofit basis, replacing the prepackaged,
reheated factory meals that Tyler Elementary kids currently eat with food
cooked from scratch, served on real plates with real cutlery.
   Led by Cathal Armstrong, chef and owner of Restaurant Eve in Alexandria,
Va., the group would undo the historically knotty issue of school food
finances by putting parents to work in the cafeteria as voluteers, and
using the savings in labor to buy better food, much of it from local
growers. The proposal has been approved by D.C. Public Schools' food
services division but is still being reviewed by the procurement division
-- meaning much paperwork, red tape, and potential snags remain between now
and August 23, when classes resume.
   Cathal Armstrong on a visit to TylerChef Cathal Armstrong on a recent
visit to TylerArmstrong, who was a 2009 James Beard nominee for "Best
Mid-Atlantic Chef," is an outspoken advocate of fresh, local foods. He sits
on the board of Fresh Farm Markets, which operates several farmers markets
in the city. His involvement with Tyler Elementary stems from a meeting
last year with White House assistant chef and food advisory Sam Kass, whose
title was recently upgrade to senior policy adviser For Healthy Food
Initiatives. This appears to be the first time that First Lady Michelle
Obama's anti-obesity campaign has extended its reach into a school food
service operation.


Gulf Oil Spill: BP Tries To Block Release Of Oil Spill Research
Updated: 07-24-10 08:19 PM
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/24/gulf-oil-spill-bp-tries-t_0_n_65830
0.html
   HOUSTON -- Faced with hundreds of lawsuits and a deep need for experts,
BP has been offering some Gulf Coast scientists lucrative consulting
contracts that bar them from releasing their findings on the company's
massive oil spill for three years.
   Some scientists say the contracts constrain academic freedom. A few
signed the agreements, then changed their minds. And others argue BP's
contract is standard, and with little federal funding available to study
the spill's impact, Gulf Coast researchers have few other options.
   "I personally wouldn't care to have my research limited, but if I wanted
to do work on the spill and this was the only way I could get out there and
get working on it, I don't think there's a lot of alternatives," said Chris
D'Elia, dean of the Louisiana State University School of the Coast and
Environment.
   BP confirms hiring more than a dozen scientists who have Gulf Coast
expertise to assist with hundreds of lawsuits and assess the environmental
damage caused by the spill.


BP fails to put money in promised escrow account.
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/07/24/bp-fails-to-put-money-in-promised-escrow
-account/
   In a deal negotiated last month, President Obama and BP officials agreed
the company would pay $5 billion annually over the next four years into an
escrow account for damage its oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico caused.
Ken Feinberg, who was appointed to administer oil spill claims out of the
escrow fund, has said he "hasn't been able to start writing claims
checks" because BP PLC has failed to deposit any money into the $20
billion fund it promised to create:
    Feinberg, who was appointed to administer oil spill claims out of the
fund, said he doesn't have the authority to force BP to deposit the
money, but his hands are tied until it does. "I don't want the checks
to bounce," he said.
   The day after the escrow account's establishment in June, BP CEO Tony
Hayward told Congress that BP is "unwavering in our commitment to fulfill
all our responsibilities" and the company "won't stop spending until
the job is done."


Rove's RNC 'grassroots' rival, American Crossroads, raised 97 percent
of its money from four billionaires.
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/07/23/american-crossroads-donors/
   Compensating for damage the Republican National Committee's
unsteadiness may cause Republican candidates this fall, several
high-profile GOP operatives - including Karl Rove and two former RNC
chairmen - recently founded American Crossroads as a "grassroots,"
"shadow RNC." Salon's Justin Elliott now reports that the group
raised 97 percent of its funding from just four billionaires:
    The IRS filing of American Crossroads, an outside 527 group that was
conceived by Rove and ex-RNC chair Ed Gillespie, gives a good taste of who
is funding the GOP effort to make big gains in the House and Senate come
the fall. . Chaired by another ex-RNC chair, Mike Duncan, American
Crossroads has pledged to raise $50 million to beat Democrats in the
midterms and has been seen by some as a competitor to the Republican
National Committee itself.
    And despite the group's description of itself as "grassroots,"
Salon's review of its IRS filings show that four billionaires have
contributed 97 percent of the $4.7 million it has raised to date. There are
no limits on how much corporations, unions, and individuals can donate to
527 groups.
   Elliott notes that two of the billionaire donors "made their fortune
in the oil and gas industry." One, Harold Simmons, "was the sole
funder" of "a group that ran ads attempting to tie Obama to Bill Ayers
in 2008." Rove acknowledged earlier this month that his group raises
money successfully largely because the Supreme Court's decision in
Citizens United opened the door to unlimited corporate donations in
politics.


Timothy Geithner: Allow Bush Tax Cuts For The Wealthy To Expire (VIDEO)
Updated: 07-25-10 10:31 AM
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/25/timothy-geithner-bush-tax-cuts-expi
ration_n_658495.html
   WASHINGTON - Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said that allowing tax
cuts for the wealthy to expire would be "the responsible thing to do." This
is the last year for the tax cuts enacted under President George W. Bush.
Republicans have generally favored extending all of them. While Democrats
are divided on the issue, President Barack Obama has favored allowing the
expiration of cuts he says have applied to the wealthiest people.
   "It's responsible to let the tax cuts expire that just go to 2 percent
to 3 percent of Americans, the highest earning Americans," Geithner told
ABC's "This Week" in an interview broadcast Sunday. Doing so would show the
world that the U.S. is "willing as a country now to start to make some
progress" reducing long-term budget deficits, he said. Geithner said he
does not believe that higher taxes for those high earners will hurt
economic growth.
   He also said he "absolutely" believes Congress will act on taxes before
the election. That's a touchy issue for Democrats, some of whom may not be
eager to address a hot-button issue like taxes so close to Election Day.
   Speaking on NBC News' "Meet the Press," Geithner says he supports
allowing the top capital gains tax rate to revert to 20 percent. It's 15
percent now.


Rep. Wamp Suggests Secession If Voters Reject Right Wing Views On
Constitution
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/07/23/wamp-secession/
   In an interview with Hotline OnCall, Rep. Zach Wamp (R-TN) suggested
forming a new Confederacy if voters reject the "tenther" view that laws
that conservatives disapprove of violate the Constitution:
    "I hope that the American people will go to the ballot box in 2010
and 2012 so that states are not forced to consider separation from this
government," said Wamp during an interview with Hotline OnCall.
    He lauded Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX), who first floated the idea of
secession in April '09, for leading the push-back against health care
reform, adding that he hopes the American people "will send people to
Washington that will, in 2010 and 2012, strictly adhere" to the
constitution's defined role for the federal government.
    "Patriots like Rick Perry have talked about these issues because the
federal government is putting us in an untenable position at the state
level," said Wamp[.]
   Like Wamp and Perry, many right-wing lawmakers embrace lunatic legal
theories - and their numbers grew significantly once President Obama took
office.  Right-wing Governors Bob McDonnell (R-VA) and Bobby Jindal (R-LA)
both signed wildly unconstitutional bills attempting to nullify health
reform.  Tenther Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas thinks that the ban
on whites-only lunch counters is unconstitutional, and other tenther
officials claim that everything from Social Security to Medicare to the
federal highway system is unconstitutional.
   Moreover, while Wamp and Perry's secessionary agenda puts them at odds
with the Constitution and the American people, it does have one famous
precedent supporting it.  In 1860, American voters elected an obscure
former congressman named "Abraham Lincoln" to the presidency.  Eleven
southern states - all of whom disagreed with the new president on the
issue of slavery - soon decided that they didn't want to be bound by
the results of that election.  Before Wamp starts campaigning to become the
next Jefferson Davis, however, he might want to give some thought to what
happened the last time right-wing state governments engaged in an act of
mass treason.

It is difficult to know that acts like Bill S 510 are even being
contemplated let alone proposed in Congress.  We must stop the insanity!!!!
Send this to everyone you know.  And as well, don?t forget how powerful your
mind is ? meditate and send healing energy into this situation along with
others. Meditating BTW helps to alleviate the fear generated by news like
this and from the Gulf story, etc. 

 

It is evident that those who are doing things like this are operating in a
?chaos ? pattern.  What we need to do in order to defeat this action and
turn things around is to remain in a ?coherence? pattern ? that is we need
to be ?at peace? ?  ?calm, cool and collected? ? sure of ourselves.  He who
blinks first loses.  So, no name-calling, no accusations, no spreading of
fear, etc.  And, most of all let?s ensure that what we are sending out is
accurate. That means me too ? none of us are perfect, so let?s not be afraid
to call one another on something if it appears not to look just right ? just
as ?friends don?t let friends drive drunk? let?s watch out for one another. 

 

With love and in gratitude for all that we do both separately and together,

I've been listening to Dr. Rima for a couple of years now about her Codex
information.  She is single-handedly making this public despite that fact
that so few are willing to listen.  I posted the following info on the S 510
bill  on YouTube the other day.   The recent Bill is an attempt to sneak
Codex in through the back door.  I assume Dr. Rima has already made the same
connection.  

 


 <http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1010879666> John GIl Bill S 510
before Congress is Co. Ali. in disguise. For those whom are unfamiliar, I
urge all to learn about Co. Ali. Dr, Rima Laibow describes it in detail in
this video. <http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5266884912495233634>
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5266884912495233634#.

I am posting this a second time as it was apparently deleted the first time
within ten minutes. I changed several keywords to see if that makes a
difference... 

Though this may be a U.S. Bill, Co. Ali. is proposed as an international
policy where many nations have been forced to oblige with threats of lost
funding for non compliance. I generally do not promote political issues but
this one is a doozie. Dr. Laibow estimates that as many as 3 BILLION (with a
B) people could lose their lives if Co. Ali. is implemented begging the
questions whom are the authors and what is their intent. 

FYI, Co. Ali. was drafted in 1962 by Henry Kissinger and has been in the
works since that time. The best advice as always is pay attention. Co. Ali.
is much more far reaching than this bill which represents the gradualism so
often deployed as a deceitful methods. Co. Ali. makes Vitamin C as illegal
as Cocaine! S 510 is one scale of this hideous fish! 



A most dire bill is up before the U.S. Senate currently. S 510, the Food
Safety Modernization Act of 2010, and may be the most dangerous bill in the
history of the US. 

According to Dr. Shiv Chopra, ?If accepted [S 510] would preclude the
public?s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and
every food that nature makes. 


It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade
and consumption of food and agricultural products of one?s choice. It will
be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of
God.? 

It is similar to what India faced with imposition of the salt tax during
British rule, only S 510 extends control over all food in the U.S.A.,
violating the fundamental human right to food."

Do You Find Yourself In "Overload" These Days?

Here at Natural Solutions Foundation we understand that there are more
issues impacting your life than anyone can hope to keep track of.  That is
part of the Plan, THEIR plan.  Like a bull in a bull ring, with a dozen
people racing in front of him, sticking him with spears, waving flags in
front of him, who does not know which way to turn to protect himself first,
we are all being attacked and distracted by new crises and issues at every
turn.

To be frank, every time the government agencies (like the FDA), or their
international counterparts (like WHO and Codex) pull another shenanigan, we
at the Natural Solutions Foundation groan because we have more to research,
another issue to find the vulnerable fulcrum for, another Action item and
more articles to write, interviews to give and results to track. (Please see
the important links right below this urgent message so you can take each of
those Action Items.)  It is, after all, freedom's price.

After all, that's what we do for you...
And we know you value us for it!

The All-Front Burner Stove

 
<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/images/Big_Stove_from_Alan_loftis.
jpg> 

Big Stove: New World Order Domination, Depopulation and Control Heat-Up
System

The Plan includes keeping so many pots at the boil on the front burners of
their REALLY big stove that instead of being able to keep up with them, you
fatigue, your get burned out and suddenly you stop caring what's in the next
pot - leaving the crisis makers and managers free reign to do whatever they
like.

That's their REALLY Big Stovbe.  Our REALLY Big Stove - not the one at the
BeyondOrganic BioDynamic? Internet Caf? that will be opening at the Natural
Solutions Center... but our metaphoric Really Big Stove where we keep the
issues simmering and sometimes boiling is what I want to talk to you about
today... 

Here are the vital Health Freedom issues on the front burner right now -
and, as you can see, it's a REALLY big stove. In fact, their stove has a
brand name: "NWODDCHUS" or "New World Order Domination, Depopulation and
Control Heat-Up System".

  <https://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/images/Witchesbrew> 


Burner 1: Vaccines for illness marketing and depopulation (Oh, by the way,
did you see the new study that shows that women and girls who get the
Gardasil shot series have MORE cervical cancer than those that don't?
http://www.examiner.com/x-40801-Vaccines-Examiner~y2010m6d30-Warning-Gardasi
l-may-cause-increased-risk-of-cervical-cancer

And are they less fertile?  No one knows yet, but I strongly suspect so.)

Burner 2: Compulsory drugging and forced vaccination -- CDC's Advisory
Committee on Immunization Practices, (ACIP) now "recommends,"  (so the
States can then "mandate") a flu shot every year for everyone 6 months and
over.  That flu shot will include the untested and dangerous H1N1 vaccine
despite the lack of any medical justification and the evidence of hundreds
of miscarriages associated with receiving H1N1 vaccines.  And then there's
compulsory drugging for pregnant mothers and a host of other faux-prevention
strategies which all equal more drugs, more deaths, more damage, for us, but
more dollars for Big Pharma and the Uber-Cartel.)

Burner 3: Complete the industrialization and degradation of the food supply
via passage of S.510 through deceptive "unanimous consent" end of session
Congressional action (which assumes that Americans are so beach-besotted
that we will not notice until the damage is done).

Take Action!
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=425

Burner 4: Destroy the lives and capacities of generations of Americans by
ignoring the neuro-tragedy which is caused by drugs and vaccines --
stonewall and lie, allowing the totally corrupt FDA to "determine" that
vaccines are "safe", that psychoactive drugs are "safe", that there is no
toxicity to mercury and other horrors, and make no attempt to find, or fix,
these atrocities since they results in tragedies beneficial to the NWODDCHUS
-

a. lower protest capacity from damaged individuals and distracted,
distraught families;

b. higher profits since medication and "health" "care" costs are enormous
for these families;

c. shorter lifespans for the afflicted and their stress-ridden family
members;

d. lower reproductive rate for a significant segment of the now-damaged
population.

Burner 5: Forced medical decisions leading to -

a. Early "termination" by withholding medication, food and water based on
actuarial, not personal, decisions of bureaucrats and carried out by
specially empowered doctors WITHOUT CONSULTATION OR APPROVAL OF THE PATIENT
OR FAMILY MEMBERS.  (Parenthetically, this is what killed my 97 year old
father earlier this year - an unapproved, unnecessary "medical" decision to
"turn off" an old, but alert, man.)!

b. Submission to mandatory vaccination and other faux-"preventive"
strategies before injured or ill individuals are allowed to get any
"treatment" under the Obamacare system, including emergency access to ER
services!

c. Forced participation in a politicized triage program designed to ration
your health care and tax you beyond the reality limits of your income!

d. Degraded care and quality of life for all but the elite, including
present, future and former members of Congress, for whom the rules are
strikingly different.

Burner 6. Forced, secret degradation of food through the application of
Codex approved "standards" and "guidelines" which include, but are
absolutely not limited to:

a. Unlabeled GMO food as a global standard despite the ecological and
medical insanity of this death technology and the violation of the
Precautionary Principle embodied in the policy of not requiring independent
third-party testing before any release into the environment;

b. Unlabeled, unlimited amounts of dangerous pesticides, herbicides,
fungicides, and other toxins etc., in food;

c. Unlabeled, unsafe and insane upper limits of heavy metals, antibiotic
residues and other food contamination so high that no food can be considered
safe unless you grow it yourself - but wait!  You won't be able to if S. 510
sneaks through in the US.  If you're outside the US, your country will
follow the US lead because of Codex and the WTO - unless, of course, you
take control of the process, help get the US out of Codex and help your
government take the Codex Two Step Process to protect you!

d. Endlessly irradiated foods;

e. Nutrient reference values (for foods and supplements) so low that they
absolutely guarantee real pandemics of cancer and the other diseases of
under nutrition;

f. Unlabeled additions of industry-friendly poisons like ractopamine to food
and food animals for the benefit of the Uber-Cartel, which includes Big
Finance, Big Pharma, Big Agribiz, Big Biotech, Big Chema and Big Medicine
-- and, of course, the Big Govt that makes them possible.

Burner 7: Taking away our First Amendment rights to associate together and
talk about, and learn what food and food components - and toxins, will do
for us, in the first case, and to us, in the second case.  FDA, FTC and EPA
are bound and determined to make sure that we have no legal right to know
how they are allowing us to be harmed and, indeed, killed, by their actions
and protected products  - and, similarly, no legal redress in the courts
where our petitions of grievances are met by govt lawyer claims that
citizens don't have "standing to sue."

Burner 8: Stopping the FDA's stealth mis-labeling of natural devices,
supplements, herbs and healthful foods as "drugs" or "devices" which (they
claim) have not been tested or approved and so are illegal for sale in the
US (FDA tried this in 2008 and we beat them back when 688,000 people said,

Support our lawsuit against the FDA:
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189

We told you they would be back and, like termites, they are!  This time,
they started with the little known, low income item called "ear candles"
that are used in the traditional, natural relaxation and comfort activity
known as Holistic Candling. That's why Natural Solutions Foundation is suing
the FDA over their attack on this non-medical comfort device.  But they have
also raided and closed down an ozone device manufacturer recently, menaced a
detox pad maker, told cherry producers, cereal makers and walnut producers
that sharing the science about their foods is illegal.... and they keep on
going.  

We're here to stop them from menacing our food, our health and our freedom,
because YOU are there, taking action and making donations to keep our work
alive.) We agree with US Supreme Court in the 2002 Thomson v Western case,
which said the government has no legitimate interest in stopping people from
making even what the govt considers to be "bad" decisions based on truthful
information. Apparently the FDA doesn't.

Should I go on?  It's probably not necessary. All you have to do is check
out the Action Items on our websites,

We could decide for you what the "Bigs" are, but we think that you can
handle the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth -- plus ways to
stop the globalists who profit from your illness and your lack of knowledge.

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS 

 

Here again we see the Right wing holding up something that should have been
passed long ago.   Are we "integral women" or are we mice?  

 

This is  the same group holding up legislation giving women equal rights
that held up a bill leaving 3 million people without the means to obtain
food and medical care if they need it and which pushed many out onto the
streets without shelter as well.   Many of these 3 million people are women
and children.  I'm talking about the Unemployment Benefits extension bill
they failed to pass last month.  Now they are also going after Social
Security.       

 

I've said this previously, but it is time to get out our brooms ladies and
clean house.  We simply have no choice but to "get tough" and let these old
boys have it by ensuring that the Republicans do not get into office again.
But, at the same time as I write this I also have to acknowledge that those
whose faces appear in office are only puppets whose strings are pulled by
what is referred to as the "shadow government" - of whom most appear to be
Republicans while also being members of the Trilateral Commission, the
Council on Foreign Relations, The Bilderberger and The Skull and Bones.
Many are now also the CIA and serve in Black Ops.  They sit on the boards of
directors of the largest corporations in interlocking directorates and
control the majority of the  wealth of the world.  But we have no choice -
if our children and grandchildren are to have a future we must unite and act
now.

Women's Rights Treaty Going Nowhere Fast in Senate


By Regina Varolli

WeNews correspondent

Friday, July 16, 2010

Women's rights activists are trying to push CEDAW, the major U.N. women's
rights treaty, out of a Senate committee where it's been stuck for decades
and up for a vote on ratification. "Call Senator John Kerry," urges U.S.
lawmaker Carolyn Maloney.u

Carolyn MaloneyNEW YORK (WOMENSENEWS)--U.S. ratification of an international
treaty to protect women's rights has been held up in the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee for three decades, a situation women's activists would
like to change during the Obama administration.

Those who have battled for or resisted the treaty know it as CEDAW,
shorthand for the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of
Discrimination against Women.

"Contact the office of Senator John Kerry," U.S. Congresswoman Carolyn
Maloney, a Democrat from New York, urged a recent gathering here of
ant-violence activists. "As the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, he needs to hear from you. Write to Senator Kerry, tell him that
we want the U.S. in CEDAW now."

Maloney, addressing a recent event organized by UNIFEM, the United Nations
Development Fund for Women and the National Council for Research on Women,
noted that under the Carter administration the United States signed onto the
treaty in July 1980, a few months after it was first opened for signatures
at U.N. headquarters.

Share

 

"With powerful women in the current administration, namely Hillary Clinton
and Susan Rice, the U.S. is at an optimal time for ratification of CEDAW,"
Maloney told the crowd.

The only centralized pro-ratification effort in the United States is the
CEDAW Task Force of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, a
Washington-based group that came together in the past year. It is a
politically diverse coalition of over 140 organizations, including the
American Bar Association, The United Methodist Church-General Board of
Church and Society, Presbyterian Church USA and Planned Parenthood
Federation of America.

The Obama administration and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have
expressed what June Zeitlin, director of the CEDAW Education Project, called
"strong support" for the ratification of the treaty. However, Zeitlin's
group is heightening its call for Obama to "send a strong and urgent signal
to the Senate that ratification of CEDAW is vital."

"It was important to formerly organize ourselves into the Task Force to take
advantage of the opportunity of support from the new administration,"
Zeitlin told Women's eNews. "We're working to gain enough support for a vote
this year."


Laying the Groundwork for Support


"We look to advocacy groups to take the lead on laying the groundwork for
when the political conditions are right," a staff member of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, who asked not to be quoted by name, told
Women's eNews. "It was clear the advocacy element hadn't really gotten
underway yet. There hadn't been good grassroots campaigning for a while. But
the CEDAW Task Force of The Leadership Conference has taken over more
strongly in recent times."

The staffer said that for a "big controversial, multilateral treaty to move
through the Senate, there needs to be an enormous amount of White House
support. While there have been statements from the
administration--especially early on from Secretary Clinton and Susan
Rice--the White House certainly has not pushed this in the same way, for
example, as they're currently pushing the START treaty (Strategic Arms
Reduction Treaty with Russia), where they've been very aggressive in saying
they really want Senate movement during this Congress. They haven't
approached CEDAW in the same way, and that also sends a signal to the
Senate."

U.S. ratification requires 67 votes in the Senate, posing a formidable
political challenge, said Ellen Chesler, director of the Eleanor Roosevelt
Initiative on Women and Public Policy at New York's Hunter College.

"The right wing is holding the U.S. back from ratifying CEDAW," Chesler
said. "It has become one of the whipping boys of conservatives because it
talks about reproductive rights and it holds countries accountable for the
quality of their reproductive health services."

Chesler described CEDAW as setting a benchmark for litigation affecting
women--for writing civil, case and constitutional law--in every country in
the world that is working to change the status of women.

To Vote or Not to Vote: Strategies for Change
by Dave Ewoldt
July, 2010
http://daveforarizona.blogspot.com/2010/07/to-vote-or-not-to-vote-strategies
-for.html

There is a significant percentage of people today who tend to equate voting
(although 
often stated in more subtle ways) with an act of violence, and who counsel
against 
participation in voting. The rationalization used for this is a form of the
too-common 
mistake of confusing symptoms with root causes. The assertion is that
politicians are 
engaged in murder, theft, and counterfeiting, and thus voting is an act of
complicity. 
The next steps in this line of "reasoning" are often that 1) anti-social
acts are the true 
and only goal of government, and 2) this evil government requires your vote
to 
maintain its legitimacy, be ensured of success, and maintain the illusion of
freedom 
of choice. Unfortunately, there is a particle of truth to all of these,
especially the latter.

I don't agree with this line of reasoning. I'll start my thoughts on this
subject by first 
saying that there's a difference between a politician, who is mainly
interested in the 
next election, and a statesman, who is mainly interested in future
generations. I also 
believe that the only true mandate of a democratic government is to protect
the 
commons, which includes the physical and the social. Now, admittedly we're 
currently a _long_ way from that. We neither nurture statesmen nor protect
the 
commons. Quite the opposite, in fact.

So, let's look a bit below the surface to see why we're in our current sorry
state. Let's 
connect some dots and see where we're headed and why we're in this
handbasket.

The majority of politicians on the national level, regardless of party, are
little more 
than tools of the status quo--which can be best summarized as the Industrial
Growth 
Society and its practice of economic cannibalism. While local politicians
are generally 
better at retaining some of their core humanity, they still believe in the
inherent 
correctness of the status quo and seek to either protect it at any cost (the
Right), or 
they believe there's nothing to be done about it other than maybe trying to
minimize 
the damage, at least here and there, once in a while (the Left).

We the People unquestioningly accept this mythology and tend to buy into one
end of 
the ideology or the other. We continue to proudly elect maniacs belonging to
the 
monopoly of the duopoly (the two wings of the Corporate War Party) who
promise 
either to control whichever minority group is being used today for
scapegoating on 
every problem imaginable (the Right), or to throw slightly larger scraps
over the wall 
to the peasants (the Left). As long as they can keep us fighting each other,
their 
power remains assured. And, as long as we continue asking the wrong
questions, 
they don't have to worry about their answers.

A growing segment of the population has shaken off this aspect of the
consensus 
trance, but still allow themselves to be controlled by thinking that
government built on 
dominator hierarchies that rule through force and fear is inherent to the
very concept 
of government. (Cultural anthropology, for one, provides evidence to the
contrary.) 
There is also widespread acceptance of the belief that anyone putting forth
an 
alternative vision (or even a major reform of the status quo) is
unelectable. (I mean, 
Fox News and CNN both say so, which must mean its true.) 

But, because non-mainstream voices (those not vetted by the status quo) are 
allowed to be heard during the primaries, with the more radical voices
safely 
relegated to third(non-serious)-parties, we are assured that democracy is
being 
served, and we can safely go back to our Cheetos and "reality" TV and just
forget 
about the oil running out and the planet warming up and our parents
overdosing on 
prescription drugs. Oh yeah, and that damn border.

So, we withdraw from the democratic process itself. We don't vote because
we're 
told if voting could change anything they'd make it illegal. (Jim Hightower,
I think, or 
Emma Goldman, G.B. Shaw, Eugene Debs... ) We join the 50% of the eligible 
electorate who don't vote by believing the only ethical choice left is to
withdraw our 
complicity from the electoral aspect of the culture of death--as long as it
isn't killing 
_us_, anyway. Or at least only indirectly through processed food substitutes
and 
contaminated water, polluted air and toxic soil. We believe that if we don't
vote, we're 
somehow not responsible--and besides, it won't make any difference anyway.
We 
don't want to believe what has been said since the days of Plato--that
silence _is_ 
complicity--so we just don't think about it.

Paul Ray, co-author of "Cultural Creatives," re-analyzed the thirteen years
worth of 
data the book was based on from a political perspective and came to the
conclusion 
that out of that potential 50% voter segment, only about 10% can actually be

classified as alienated, ignorant, and/or apathetic. This 10% is actually
the mushy 
middle the Clinton "strategists" went after, and were all excited when they
got 1% of 
them to the polls. This means the other 40% are the largest potential voting
bloc in 
the country, because the other half--the current bloc of active voters--are
pretty 
evenly split(12-15% each) among Democrats, Republicans, and Big Business 
conservatives who have either liberal or conservative social values (and
this is 
actually a false dichotomy, but that's another discussion).

So, the point I want to make is the *importance of your vote*, especially
considering 
the rather small percentages of voters who provide the "mandate" for
policies--about 
20% in any given election--and much of that is not a vote for, but rather a
vote 
against the other side. But let me add a caveat: For your vote to be
_meaningful_ we 
must work together to encourage and support candidates who are worth voting
for; 
who are not only willing but determined to take on the status quo, and even
more 
importantly, who will present pragmatic alternatives that work for people
and planet 
instead of only for the profits of narrow special interests. 

We can turn the sorry state of electoral politics on its head by becoming
active in the 
democratic process--because democracy is not a spectator sport. Instead of 
remaining complicit with our silence, we can become actively engaged in
helping 
remove the legitimacy of the status quo. We can encourage and support
statesmen 
who will actively work towards real change instead of minor reforms. We can 
become advocates for electoral changes that can better reflect peoples
values 
instead of their fears. We can champion Instant Runoff Voting, make
elections day a 
national holiday, abolish the electoral college, require paper ballots or a
paper trail on 
election machines that use non-proprietary verifiable software, and perform
random 
ballot audits large enough to be meaningful.

As long as we remain satisfied that voting for the lessor of two weevils is
the best we 
can hope for--or even more cynical, that this is the best that an inherently
flawed 
humanity is capable of--we will remain complicit with a system that is about
to push 
life over the edge of a cliff. Incremental changes in this system will _not_
work; you 
cannot cross a 20 foot chasm with two ten foot leaps.

The way we practice politics and government today is _nothing_ but a story.
This 
means, as inquisitive, innovative and intelligent creatures, we can
consciously 
_choose_ to script a new story. But that's not going to happen if we
withdraw from 
the system; if we shirk our responsibility and our innate ability to create
a system that 
works for us and the planet we depend upon.

It is possible to vote and not simply have the government get re-elected.
The more 
people who find the courage to do this, the sooner we'll start the
transition into a 
sustainable--that is, life supportive--future. I, and many others, believe a
political 
platform built on a foundation of relocalization--a practical, affordable
_process_ to 
build a sustainable future--where production of food, energy and appropriate

technologies occurs much closer to the point of consumption is a rational
first step. 
By weaving in a steady-state local living economy, and getting back within
ecological 
and economic carrying capacity limits we can set off on a different path
from the 
broken status quo that is destroying the biosphere and fueling the 6th Great

Extinction.

Something I think the "potential 40%" of additional voters have in common is
that 
they can see through the veil and they're tired of being lied to with false
promises and 
crass fear manipulation. They're being joined by growing numbers of
traditionally 
partisan voters fleeing the major parties and registering independent--the
people I 
refer to in my campaign for AZ State Senate as those who are sick and tired
of being 
sick and tired. 

What all these voters need is someone to vote for who will do things
differently--
someone not beholden to--or enchanted by--the status quo and who's
presenting a 
platform that both resonates with shared values and provides a systemic
alternative 
that doesn't require empire and its exploitive accoutrements in order to
improve 
quality of life. A relocalization platform provides this without requiring
the destruction 
of our one and only life support system. We can't continue ignoring the
inconvenient 
truth that there will be no justice, equity or an economy (free-market or
otherwise) on 
a dead planet. And this is _exactly_ what the status quo of Industrialism is
delivering 
for no other reason than to increase profit and consolidate power in the
hands of a 
self-proclaimed elite.

If you'd like more details of how these concepts fit into the political
arena, and how 
they can be applied to grave issues of concern to a majority of people,
please 
browse through my campaign website <http://www.daveforarizona.org>,
especially 
the issues pages as well as for an expanded definition of relocalization.
This platform 
is freely available to anyone else who is willing to embrace it. Consider it
"open 
source." We have the opportunity to get this ball rolling; to provide
leadership with a 
positive example the rest of the world is hungering for and can begin
implementing 
themselves.

Subject: [GJM] Westernism: 18 Decimation for inhabiting
Message-ID: <299618.38699.qm@web51005.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Westernism: the Ideology of Hegemony
?
By Dr Javed Jamil
?
Part 18
?
To recap the basic theme of the work:
When I speak against Westernism, it does not imply that I am against Western 
nations or people; for people are similar all over the world having both 
strengths and weaknesses and their behaviour is the product of their inherent 
tendencies and social and legal system they live in. It is unfortunate that the 
great work done by Western scientists has been misused by the economic and 
political powers to damage the lives of their own people and to dominate the 
whole world. It is the ideology of these economic and political forces that I 
call Westernism. 

?
As I have repeatedly used the word ?Westernism?, I have often been asked what 
exactly Westernism means. I think it is now the right time to throw some light 
on the subject. I define Westernism as the ideology that primarily revolves 
around 

(1) the dominance of economics in the affairs of life and the world in general 
and that of market economics in particular and 

(2) the dominance of the world by Western powers through both use and misuse of 
the great scientific and technological progress their scientists achieved. 

Now
Decimation for inhabiting
?
The rise of West is full of bloody massacres and decimation of the native 
populations.. Western countries occupied Indiafor about two centuries, where 
majority and killed hundreds of thousands of Indian freedom fighters including 
Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs. British, French, Portuguese, and other Western 
countries have long history of invading African and Asian countries and keeping 
them occupied with full use of force and deceit without caring for the loss of 
lives and property. Besides invading other countries at will and leaving them 
when compelled, they made permanent homes in Americaand Australiakilling the 
native population with impunity. Britishers entered Australia, killed hundreds 
of thousands of aborigines there and occupied their country forever. ?Report 
details crimes against Aborigines? by Brett Stone, 7 September 1999, describes 
gory details of the extermination of aborigines. It says:
?The genocidal practices perpetrated against Australian Aborigines were the 
outcome of policies adopted and implemented by all Australian governments from 
British settlement in 1788 until the present?..Aborigines were forced out of 
their traditional homes, hunted like wild animals, poisoned or shot, and 
confined to the harshest and most desolate climes. The effect of British 
settlement upon these people led to near extinction within 120 years?.Even 
though no official figures exist, estimates of the Aboriginal population in 1788 
range between 250,000 and 750,000. By 1911 the number was 31,000?..?.Aboriginal 
children were abducted for use in forced labour, women were raped and tortured 
and given poisoned flour, and the men were shot?Between 1829 and 1834, an 
appointed conciliator, George Robinson, collected the surviving remnants: 123 
people whom were then settled on Flinders Island. By 1835, between 3,000 and 
4,000 Aborigines were dead?.Between 1824 and 1908 approximately 10,000 
Aborigines were murdered in the Colony of Queensland. ?Considered ?wild 
animals', ?vermin', ?scarcely human', ?hideous to humanity', ?loathsome' and a 
?nuisance', they were fair game for white ?sportsmen'?.?Aboriginal people met 
him (Archibald Meston)? ?like hunted wild beasts, having lived for years in a 
state of absolute terror?. His prescription for their salvation lay in ?strict 
and absolute isolation from all whites,from predators who, in no particular 
order, wanted to kill them, take their women, sell them grog or opium?. Needless 
to say, none of the perpetrators of the slaughter were made to answer for their 
actions.?
Even today aborigines are kept in good humour through free supply of 
intoxicants. 

?
Similarly brutal atrocities were reserved for native Americans who were killed 
in thousands by Europeans and their country permanently occupied. A website, Ken 
Hope's Home Page says, 

?
??De Sotois described by a contemporary as "fond of the sport of killing 
Indians." Natives are captured in the hundreds and forced to march in chains, 
carrying stores. He kidnaps a native chief known as Queen Cofitachequi, and 
plunders a case of worthless mussel pearls from her. ?By now, epidemics brought 
by Europeans have killed almost half of the native population of Mexico.? 
According to historians (See From Revolution to Reconstruction on Net), in 1600 
AD, there were about 40 million people living in the Western Hemisphere that now 
forms North America. In the region that forms the USnow, estimates say that up 
to 18 million native Indians lived. Majority of them was killed either in 
numerous wars and skirmishes with Europeans or through Chicken Pox and other 
epidemics brought by them.?
?
?For centuries, they have been engaged in massacres of Jews. American forces 
invaded Vietnam, where hundreds of thousands of Buddhists were killed. They 
killed half a million people of Japan. In the modern history of the world, 
hardly any Muslim country has occupied any non-Muslim country while Christian 
countries have colonised a large number of countries. Wherever Christians are in 
some numbers, for example Indonesia, Kenyaand Lebanon, Western powers have 
supported them in violent struggles with Muslims. Second, it is argued that 
currently it is the armies of Western countries, not private terrorist 
organisations that are fighting. What a ludicrous argument! Where is the need 
for the people to fight when their powerful countries are engaged in the worst 
forms of terrorism? Bush put rewards ?for capturing live or dead? the heads of 
states and the leaders of ?terrorist? organisations.? The truth remains that 
Americahas proved to be the Dajjal of the modern world.

WOW I LOVED THIS!  Mary Rose, my first response was to put it up on my
Facebook page (snip) 

 

The info is just terrific.  MUST also suggest to you a book called
Unplugging From the Patriachy...by Lucia Rene'.  Both mystical and very
pragmatic, her research into the patriarchical institutions etc.  Highly
recommended, she refers to all the elements of the shadow government that
you do.  

 

On another subject, it occurs to me that as we pull money out of our schools
and invest further in war and a war based economy, we will take our dumbed
down youth into their only alternative.....the Military.  

 

Marilyn, thanks for your comment and book recommendation.  With regard to
your comment re the Military and no alternative - we MUST provide for one.
I believe it is our sacred duty as women to end the tyranny of patriarchical
rule and take back our power, but not as rulers - as partners in an equal
world.  It is time to end the war of the sexes and replace it with respect.


 

 With love and in gratitude.

Moving into: TOTAL WELLNESS

 

What if everything you thought you knew about life here on Earth suddenly
changed and everything was revealed as a lie? This film, which I urge
everyone to watch may be the event that changes what you believe, or, at
least makes you begin your own investigation.  Which is what happened to me,
not with this video but with a book entitled "Cultural Vision - A Memeplex
for the Cultural Evolution"  written by J. Martin Knutsen and published in
2003 by iUniverse, Inc.  In this book, Martin wrote about "The Christ Cult"
and the similarities between what has been written about Jesus in the
gospels of Matthew, John and Luke,  and what had previously been written in
the mythology of Greek, Jewish and Mythraic myths and taken from their
ceremonies.  But the similarities are many writes Knutsen: 

 

The bread and wine of mass was a ritual already in place with Dionysus, son
of Zeus, whose blood was drunk as a transubstantiated wine.  The Mythriac
cult drank the blood of the bulls.  December 25th was their Holy Day.  The
Christian Church chose the bull,  the idol of their competition, to
symbolize the devil.  The concept of the son of God being heir to his
father's kingdom is ever present in Greek mythology, as is the tradition of
dying a noble death.  Easter was originally a springtime pagan fertility
celebration.  Eggs which represent fertility and the prolifically fertile
bunnies are obvious ties to the ancient tradition, as is even the very name
of the celebration: Easter is named for the Teutonic goddess Eostre, the
Goddess of Spring.  Sunday was the day of the week the Romans set aside to
worship their Sun god.   

 

There was much debate in the early Christine theological circles as to
whether or not Jesus was connected to Judaism as well.  They debated whether
or not it was Yaweh who was the Father of Jesus,  or a higher power.  There
was a great effort to tie the old and the New Testament together so that the
prophecies in the Old could be seen as being fulfilled in the New.

 

As to Islam, In the year 610 (CE) an Arab merchant in the city of Mecca
named Muhammad ibn Abdallah became convinced he was receiving revelations
from the God of Moses. And, the simplicity of his concepts spread throughout
the Middle East and from Spain to India. His revelations were written by
scribes and collected together some years after his death.  Such was the
birth of Islam.

 

As he proceeds in the book, Knutsen tells as to how the myths associated
with an "Agri-cultural" society such as took place with regard to Jesus and
his Father in Heaven were formed. Basically, the deities these people
worshipped at this time were patterned after what was familiar to them.
Most of them were "herders" acting as shephards to  the animals they cared
for: sheep, goats and cattle. And they patterned the Gods they worshipped as
"good shephards of their people".   Such was the way that religions came
into being. And, here we are thousands of years later, tied to the same
mythologies as these people believed in then.  One only has to think of some
of the wording used to recognize this. For instance: "The Lord is my
shepherd." "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures" etc., etc.

 

But in addition to this, as I have written previously -drug use was
prevalent at that time, and much of what we go by today was written in
drug-induced states.   Yet, here today, we lock people up and imprison them
for life for using these same drugs or ones like them. 

 

Please review this video - I have also posted a review of it for your
convenience.

Review

by Martin W. Ball, Ph.D., author and host of the Entheogenic Evolution
Podcast

The Pharmacratic Inquisition is a provocative film from Gnostic Media that
makes the argument that virtually all of the mythology, symbolism, and story
of Jesus and related Christian traditions relate to two basic subjects:
astrology and shamanism. For those unfamiliar with the evidence in support
of this claim, this film can be truly eye opening and revolutionary.

Much of the material for this film rests upon the work of John Allegro.
Allegro was one of the original scholars chosen to translate the Dead Sea
Scrolls, ancient Christian texts that were discovered in Qumram near the
Dead Sea in the middle of the 20th century. Unlike his colleagues, Allegro
was not beholden to the Catholic Church and therefore was able to develop
his theories and interpretations free from Catholic dogma. The result was
the radical claim that Jesus was a psychoactive mushroom. In particular,
Allegro argued that the mythology and symbolism surrounding the Christ
figure all point to Amanita muscaria mushrooms, the iconic red and white
mushroom so common in Christmas symbolism and imagery.

The amanita mushroom plays a central role in this film and is presented as
the basis for the shamanic elements in Christianity. Amanitas have a long
history of use among northern European and Siberian shamans - the very
cultures from which the term "shaman" originates. Within these cultures,
"shamanism" was synonymous with amanita use and knowledge of its
psychoactive properties were well known throughout that region of the world.
That the shamanic use of the amanita might influence Christianity should
therefore not necessarily be a surprise, but the argument that Jesus
actually is an amanita, and not a historical figure, is probably a surprise
to most.

The film makes a compelling argument for this connection between Jesus and
the amanita, and even psilocybin mushrooms, through the presentation of
Christian symbolism, iconography, and imagery. When one looks closely at the
Catholic Church, amanita symbolism appears to abound from the clothing of
popes and cardinals to frescos, arch ways, and church architecture. Even the
myths themselves, such as that of the Holy Grail, seem to fall within the
category of amanita symbolism. Indeed, when the images are presented in this
manner, the comparison to amanita becomes immediately obvious and difficult
to argue against.

Even Santa Claus gets the amanita treatment in this film. Here the jolly old
elf is presented in the context of northern European shamanism where,
according to tradition, the shaman would dry his amanitas from a conifer
tree and then visit the yurts of his community, entering through the smoke
hole to bring gifts of sacred mushrooms to the people. It is not much of a
stretch to see that these reindeer herding shamans were the iconic model for
the fat red and white clothed Santa, who himself looks very much like an
amanita mushroom.

In addition to the influence of shamanism and psychoactive mushrooms on
Christianity, the film also investigates the relationship between astrology
and astronomy to the Christ myth. Here the filmmakers provide compelling
arguments for the correlation between the Christ myth and the Winter
Solstice sky and the zodiacal ages, graphically demonstrating how such tales
of the shining star, the three kings, and the death and resurrection of
Jesus all fit within previously known facts about the night sky and the
change of seasons.

Ultimately, the Pharmacratic Inquisition challenges many of the assumptions
and beliefs we may have about Christianity and its central figures,
providing provocative evidence that things are not as they seem within this
tradition. If true, the question then becomes: does the Catholic Church
still use amanita mushrooms secretly within the confines of the Vatican?
Have they really been withholding this fundamental truth for two millennia,
or have even they come to believe the myths that were created to both
communicate and conceal the true identity of Jesus Christ? Watch this film
and make up your own mind.

Mary --

EsE/> We will not go back to Bush

There they don't go again. Yet another time, Republicans refused to support
a bill vital to the interests of our nation.

Last week, the President signed into law the most significant reform of Wall
Street since the days of Franklin Roosevelt. We did it over the objections
of the most powerful financial institutions in the country, big business
groups, a legion of lobbyists, and almost every Republican in Congress.

The legislation contains the strongest package of consumer protections ever
adopted at one time in the United States. It restricts predatory mortgage
lending, eliminates hidden credit card fees, and establishes a new Consumer
Financial Protection Agency.

Most importantly, it contains strong measures to prevent financial
institutions from engaging in the high-risk practices which deeply damaged
our economy and caused millions of Americans to lose their jobs and their
homes.

And, remarkably, the Republicans opposed it. That's why I need your help
today -- Republicans are seeing record fundraising from special interests
after their opposition, and we need to fight back and show our strength.

We
<http://www.dccc.org/page/m/1d63c0de/1b9d2d92/67c1d9de/4e0d0875/3759410041/V
EsC/>  will not go back to the Bush agenda. Contribute before the July 31st
FEC deadline and a group of committed Democrats will match your gift today
2-to-1.

Last summer, Sarah Palin and the Tea Partiers almost killed health care
reform with the preposterous accusation that the bill contained "death
panels." Ironically, the new Wall Street reform law actually does contain
"death panels" -- for large banks and investment houses.

It creates a mechanism by which they, when faced with collapse because of
their own risky behavior, can be put quietly to death without causing
catastrophic harm to the rest of the economy. As the President said during
the signing ceremony for the new law, "there will be no more taxpayer-funded
bailouts. Period."

Already, House Minority Leader John Boehner has said that if Republicans
regain control of Congress he would repeal the law.

We
<http://www.dccc.org/page/m/1d63c0de/1b9d2d92/67c1d9de/4e0d0875/3759410041/V
EsD/>  will not go back to the Bush agenda. Contribute before the July 31st
FEC deadline and a group of committed Democrats will match your gift today
2-to-1.

The recent 5-4 decision by the energetically activist conservative majority
on the Supreme Court has given people who tried to kill Wall Street reform a
new channel for pouring money into campaigns against the overwhelming
majority of Democrats who fought for it.

Given the Supreme Court's relentless war against campaign finance
regulation, our only protection against a flood of corporate and other money
from wealthy right-wing opponents of sensible public policy is for those who
support decent healthcare, reasonable financial regulation, thoughtful
climate control policy and measures both to combat the effects of this
recession and to get us out of it is to

EsA/> contribute to the DCCC to help Democratic candidates.

If big money has the field to itself, it will win elections and control our
future. But if people like you who care passionately about our country
continue to work hard and if average voters get involved, we can beat big
money. We did it with financial reform, and we can do it again.

 
<http://www.dccc.org/page/m/1d63c0de/1b9d2d92/67c1d9de/4e0d0875/3759410041/V
EsB/> Contributing to the DCCC is one of the best ways - sadly one of the
few ways - available to those who want to help us beat back the assault from
the right.

Thank you for your continued support,

Barney Frank

A hidden world, growing beyond control
July 19, 2010, Washington Post
http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/nation/tsa/static/articles/hidden-world.html

In the Department of Defense, where more than two-thirds of the intelligence programs reside, only a handful of senior officials - called Super Users - have the ability to even know about all the department's activities. Most [sources for this story] requested anonymity either because they are prohibited from speaking publicly or because, they said, they feared retaliation at work for describing their concerns. Beyond redundancy, secrecy within the intelligence world hampers effectiveness in other ways. For the Defense Department, [the] problem goes back to an ultra-secret group of programs for which access is extremely limited and monitored by specially trained security officers. These are called Special Access Programs - or SAPs - and the Pentagon's list of code names for them runs 300 pages. The intelligence community has hundreds more of its own, and those hundreds have thousands of sub-programs with their own limits on the number of people authorized to know anything about them. All this means that very few people have a complete sense of what's going on. Such secrecy can undermine the normal chain of command when senior officials use it to cut out rivals or when subordinates are ordered to keep secrets from their commanders. One military officer involved in one such program said he was ordered to sign a document prohibiting him from disclosing it to his four-star commander, with whom he worked closely every day, because the commander was not authorized to know about it

Growing Number of Prosecutions for Videotaping the Police
July 19, 2010, ABC News
http://abcnews.go.com/US/TheLaw/videotaping-cops-arrest/story?id=11179076

It wasn't his daredevil stunt [on his motorcycle] that has [Anthony Graber] facing the possibility of 16 years in prison. For that, he was issued a speeding ticket. It was the video that Graber posted on YouTube one week later -- taken with his helmet camera -- of a plainclothes state trooper cutting him off and drawing a gun during the traffic stop near Baltimore. In early April, state police officers raided Graber's parents' home in Abingdon, Md. They confiscated his camera, computers and external hard drives. Graber was indicted for allegedly violating state wiretap laws by recording the trooper without his consent. Arrests such as Graber's are becoming more common along with the proliferation of portable video cameras and cell-phone recorders. Videos of alleged police misconduct have become hot items on the Internet. YouTube still features Graber's encounter along with numerous other witness videos. "The message is clearly, 'Don't criticize the police,'" said David Rocah, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties <http://www.aclu-md.org/>  Union of Maryland who is part of Graber's defense team. "With these charges, anyone who would even think to record the police is now justifiably in fear that they will also be criminally charged." Carlos Miller, a Miami journalist who runs the blog "Photography Is Not a Crime <http://carlosmiller.com/> ," said he has documented about 10 arrests since he started keeping track in 2007. Miller himself has been arrested twice for photographing the police.

Note: To our knowledge, no one has ever been prosecuted for videotaping police doing good things, which they often do, yet many have been arrested for catching police doing bad things. Where's the justice here?

Iran scientist: CIA offered me $50m to lie about nuclear secrets
July 16, 2010, The Independent (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/iran-scientist-cia-offered-me-50m... <http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/iran-scientist-cia-offered-me-50m-to-lie-about-nuclear-secrets-2027718.html> 

An Iranian scientist who says he was abducted and taken to the United States by the CIA returned to Tehran yesterday to a hero's welcome and claimed that he had been pressured into lying about his country's nuclear programme. Shahram Amiri said that he was on the hajj pilgrimage when he was seized at gunpoint in the city of Medina, drugged and taken to the US, where he says Israel was involved in his interrogation. In the US, officials were reported to have admitted that Mr Amiri was paid more than $5m (?3.2m) by the CIA for information about Iran's nuclear ambitions. The offer of a large bribe is reportedly part of a special US programme to get Iranian nuclear scientists to defect. "Americans wanted me to say that I defected to America of my own will, to use me for revealing some false information about Iran's nuclear work," Mr Amiri said at Tehran airport. "I was under intensive psychological pressure by [the] CIA... the main aim of this abduction was to stage a new political and psychological game against Iran." At his press conference at Tehran airport, Mr Amiri stressed that he had acted under compulsion. "Israeli agents were present at some of my interrogation sessions and I was threatened to be handed over to Israel if I refused to cooperate with Americans," he said. He says he was offered $50m to stay in the US.

America locks up too many people, some for acts that should not even be criminal 
July 22, 2010, The Economist magazine
http://economist.com/node/16640389

America is different from the rest of the world in lots of ways, many of them good. One of the bad ones is its willingness to lock up its citizens. One American adult in 100 festers behind bars (with the rate rising to one in nine for young black men). Its imprisoned population, at 2.3m, exceeds that of 15 of its states. No other rich country is nearly as punitive as the Land of the Free. The rate of incarceration is a fifth of America?s level in Britain, a ninth in Germany and a twelfth in Japan. America?s incarceration rate has quadrupled since 1970. Similar things have happened elsewhere. The incarceration rate in Britain has more than doubled, and that in Japan increased by half, over the period. But the trend has been sharper in America than in most of the rich world, and the disparity has grown. It is explained neither by a difference in criminality (the English are slightly more criminal than Americans, though less murderous), nor by the success of the policy: America?s violent-crime rate is higher than it was 40 years ago. Many states have mandatory minimum sentences, which remove judges? discretion to show mercy, even when the circumstances of a case cry out for it. ?Three strikes? laws, which were at first used to put away persistently violent criminals for life, have in several states been applied to lesser offenders.

2 UFO sightings have China, blogs abuzz
July 16, 2010, CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/07/16/china.ufo.reports/

One of two recent UFO sightings in China occurred almost on the 63rd anniversary of news that a "flying disc" had been found in Roswell, New Mexico. The first sighting occurred at Hangzhou's Xiaoshan Airport, in the eastern part of the country. Eighteen flights were delayed or rerouted and operations shut down after twinkling lights were spotted above the terminal around 9 p.m. July 7. "No conclusion has yet been drawn," said Wang Jian, head of air traffic control with Zhejiang branch of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. Purported photos of the unworldly object have appeared online and on YouTube. Meanwhile, The Shanghai Daily reported a UFO appeared above the city of Chongqing on [July 15]. Witnesses said four "lantern-like objects forming a diamond shape" hovered for an hour above a park. "I stared at it and it did not move," one resident told the newspaper. "After hovering for an hour, the thing started to fly higher and finally out of people's sight." UFO sightings around the world are common, but a little rarer in China.

BP oil spill Corexit dispersants suspected in widespread crop damage
June 28, 2010, San Francisco Chronicle (San Francisco's leading newspaper)
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/ybenjamin/detail??blogid=150 <http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/ybenjamin/detail??blogid=150&entry_id=65552> &entry_id=65552

Just when you thought the damage BP could cause was limited to beaches, marshes, oceans, people's livelihoods, birds and marine life, there's more. BP's favorite dispersant Corexit 9500 is being sprayed at the oil gusher on the ocean floor. Corexit is also being air sprayed across hundreds of miles of oil slicks all across the gulf. There have been widespread reports of oil cleanup crews reporting various injuries including respiratory distress, dizziness and headaches. Corexit 9500 is a solvent originally developed by Exxon. Corexit is is four times more toxic than oil (oil is toxic at 11 ppm (parts per million), Corexit 9500 at only 2.61ppm). In a report written by Anita George-Ares and James R. Clark for Exxon Biomedical Sciences, Inc. titled "Acute Aquatic Toxicity of Three Corexit Products: An Overview," Corexit 9500 was found to be one of the most toxic dispersal agents ever developed. According to the Clark and George-Ares report, Corexit mixed with the higher gulf coast water temperatures becomes even more toxic. The UK's Marine Management Organization ... banned Corexit ... from a list of approved treatments for oil spills in the U.K. more than a decade ago. The simple question I ask is: If the UK bans Corexit ... why the hell are we using it on American waters?

Report: 97 percent of scientists say man-made climate change is real
June 22, 2010, USA Today
http://content.usatoday.com/communities/sciencefair/post/2010/06/scientists-overwhelmingly-believe... <http://content.usatoday.com/communities/sciencefair/post/2010/06/scientists-overwhelmingly-believe-in-man-made-climate-change/1> 

A new survey out this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ... found that 97 percent of scientific experts agree that climate change is "very likely" caused mainly by human activity. The report is based on questions posed to 1,372 scientists. Nearly all the experts agreed that it is "very likely that anthropogenic greenhouse gases have been responsible for most of the unequivocal warming of the Earth's average global temperature in the second half of the twentieth century." As for the 3 percent of scientists who remain unconvinced, the study found their average expertise is far below that of their colleagues, as measured by publication and citation rates. In the study, the authors wrote: "This extensive analysis of the mainstream versus skeptical/contrarian researchers suggests a strong role for considering expert credibility in the relative weight of and attention to these groups of researchers in future discussions in media, policy, and public forums regarding anthropogenic climate change." The report comes as the Earth continues to sizzle in 2010. So far, through May, 2010 is the warmest year ever recorded, according to the National Climatic Data Center.

Inquiry into Ian Tomlinson's death at a G20 protest in London prompts more questions than answers
July 22, 2010, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/jul/22/ian-tomlinson-story-justice-denied

When Ian Tomlinson's widow watched video footage of his last moments alive for the first time on a laptop 16 months ago, she was speechless. Julia Tomlinson had been told by police her husband had died of natural causes as he tried to get home through the G20 protest in London, and there was nothing suspicious about the death. But as she watched [video] footage ...a different story unfolded. Tomlinson, hands in pockets, was walking away from police. An officer who was not displaying his badge number, and whose face was concealed behind a balaclava, lunged at her husband from behind and, without provocation, struck him on the leg and pushed him to the ground. The police disregard for Tomlinson was [evident] on footage of the aftermath of the attack, which left him lying on the ground in front of a line of riot police shortly after 7.25pm on 1 April. None of the officers went to the aid of the 47-year-old, who was clearly in distress. Looking disoriented, Tomlinson then stumbled 100 yards down the road before collapsing and dying. The initial police response was to accuse protesters of wrongdoing. Within four hours, Scotland Yard had released a statement saying officers had gone to the victim's aid and called an ambulance, and were attempting to save his life with cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In the following days, City of London police, which was investigating the death, would receive information from witnesses that suggested Tomlinson might have been assaulted by an officer. His family were not told about this, and were advised instead that he had died after being caught up in a fracas prompted by anarchist demonstrators attacking police.

Note: This excellent article shows all too clearly how police departments will lie and severely manipulate evidence to defend their own, even when they know they are in the wrong.

Most countries fail to deliver on Haiti aid pledges
July 15, 2010, CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/07/14/haiti.donations/index.html

Six months after a devastating earthquake struck Haiti, most governments that promised money to help rebuild the country have not delivered any funds at all. Donors promised $5.3 billion at an aid conference in March, about two months after the earthquake -- but less than 2 percent of that money has been handed over so far to the United Nations-backed body set up to handle it. Only four countries have paid anything at all: Brazil, Norway, Estonia and Australia. The United States pledged $1.15 billion. It has paid nothing, with the money tied up in the congressional appropriations process. Venezuela promised even more -- $1.32 billion. It has also paid nothing, although it has written off some of Haiti's debt. Altogether, about $506 million has been disbursed to Haiti since the donors' conference in March, said Jehane Sedky of the U.N. Development Program. That's about 9 percent of the money that was pledged. But about $200 million was money that had been in the pipeline for aid work before the earthquake, and about another $200 million went directly to the government of Haiti to help it get back on its feet, Sedky explained. That has left the commission with about $90 million in donations since the conference, Sedky said.

The Genocide Behind Your Smart Phone
July 16, 2010, Newsweek magazine
http://www.newsweek.com/2010/07/16/the-genocide-behind-your-smart-phone.html

Our biggest gadget makers ?- including HP and Apple -? may inadvertently get their raw ingredients from murderous Congolese militias. A new movement wants them to trace rare metals from ?conflict mines.? [It] stands on the cusp of going mainstream. It?s the push to make major electronics companies (manufacturers of cell phones, laptops, portable music players, and cameras) disclose whether they use ?conflict minerals??the rare metals that finance civil wars and militia atrocities, most notably in Congo. Congo raises especially disturbing issues for famous tech brand names that fancy themselves responsible corporate citizens. Congo is a classic victim of the resource curse. Its bountiful deposits?in everything from copper to diamonds?are brazenly plundered by corrupt governments and regional warlords while the population goes without basic services. Today, most violence?including mass rape, slavery, mutilation, and possibly even forced cannibalism?is concentrated in the war-ravaged eastern Kivu provinces, where the Congolese Army and ethnic militias bludgeon each other over the right to trade in mineral ore.

Gold Coin Sellers Angered by New Tax Law
July 21, 2010, ABC News
http://abcnews.go.com/Business/gold-coin-dealers-decry-tax-law/story?id=11211611

Starting Jan. 1, 2012, Form 1099s will become a means of reporting to the Internal Revenue Service the purchases of all goods and services by small businesses and self-employed people that exceed $600 during a calendar year. Precious metals such as coins and bullion fall into this category and coin dealers have been among those most rankled by the change. This provision, intended to mine what the IRS deems a vast reservoir of uncollected income tax, was included in the health care legislation ostensibly as a way to pay for it. Taking an early and vociferous role in opposing the measure is the precious metal and coin industry, according to Diane Piret, industry affairs director for the ... trade association representing an estimated 5,000 coin and bullion dealers in the United States. "Coin dealers not only buy for their inventory from other dealers, but also with great frequency from the public," Piret said. "Most other types of businesses will have a limited number of suppliers from which they buy their goods and products for resale." So every time a member of the public sells more than $600 worth of gold to a dealer, Piret said, the transaction will have to be reported to the government by the buyer. Pat Heller, who owns Liberty Coin Service in Lansing, Mich., deals with around 1,000 customers every week. Heller estimates that he'll be filling out between 10,000 and 20,000 tax forms per year after the new law takes effect. "I'll have to hire two full-time people just to track all this stuff, which cuts into my profitability," he said.

German Journalist Seeks Release of Eichmann Files
March 18, 2010, ABC News/Associated Press
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=10135007

The basics of Adolf Eichmann's story are well documented: Commonly known as the "architect of the Holocaust" for his role in coordinating the Nazi genocide policy, he fled Germany, was captured in Argentina by Israel's Mossad, and hanged after trial in Jerusalem. But Germany's intelligence service, the BND, is sitting on 4,500 pages of files on Eichmann a reporter thinks could fill in gaps about his postwar life: Who helped him escape? How much did Germany know about where he was? Is there more to the story of his capture? The files could also help shed light on claims that the Vatican helped war criminals hide or escape after World War II ? allegations church officials have always strenuously denied. The BND claims that the files need to remain secret, so freelance reporter Gabriele Weber sued to have them released. They are now being reviewed in secret by three judges at the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig. Weber said she anticipates a ruling in the next month or two, and expects to obtain at least some degree of access. "I think it's impossible that in Germany we are hiding documents about a convicted Nazi mass murderer today," she said in a telephone interview. "I can't imagine they will be able to maintain secrecy 100 percent." The American Gathering of Holocaust <http://amgathering.com/>  Survivors and their Descendants group has weighed in, urging the release of the files.

Phys Ed: Your Brain on Exercise
July 7, 2010, New York Times
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/07/your-brain-on-exercise/

What goes on inside your brain when you exercise? That question has preoccupied a growing number of scientists in recent years, as well as many of us who exercise. Some of the most reverberant recent studies were performed at Northwestern University?s Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. There, scientists have been manipulating the levels of bone-morphogenetic protein or BMP in the brains of laboratory mice. In the brain, BMP has been found to contribute to the control of stem cell divisions. Your brain, you will be pleased to learn, is packed with adult stem cells, which, given the right impetus, divide and differentiate into either additional stem cells or baby neurons. As we age, these stem cells tend to become less responsive. They don?t divide as readily and can slump into a kind of cellular sleep. It?s BMP that acts as the soporific, says Dr. Jack Kessler, the chairman of neurology at Northwestern and senior author of many of the recent studies. But exercise countermands some of the numbing effects of BMP, Dr. Kessler says. In work at his lab, mice given access to running wheels had about 50 percent less BMP-related brain activity within a week. They also showed a notable increase in Noggin, a beautifully named brain protein that acts as a BMP antagonist. ?If ever exercise enthusiasts wanted a rationale for what they?re doing, this should be it,? Dr. Kessler says. Exercise, he says, through a complex interplay with Noggin and BMP, helps to ensure that neuronal stem cells stay lively and new brain cells are born.

Cholesterol-Busting Statins: Study Raises New Concerns
June 29, 2010, ABC News
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/HeartHealth/cholesterol-busting-statins-study... <http://abcnews.go.com/Health/HeartHealth/cholesterol-busting-statins-study-raises-concerns/story?id=11037926> 

Nearly two years ago, a study known as the JUPITER [Justification for the Use of Statins in Primary Prevention] trial hinted at a new era in the use of statins -- one in which the cholesterol-busting drugs could be used to stave off heart-related death in many more people than just those with high cholesterol. Now, however, researchers behind a new review that takes a second look at the findings of the landmark study say that these results are flawed -- and that they do not support the benefits initially reported. Not only did this second look turn up no evidence of the "striking decrease in coronary heart disease complications" reported by investigators behind JUPITER, but it has also called into question drug companies' involvement in such trials, according to an article in the June 28 issue <http://archinte.ama-assn.org/content/vol170/issue12/index.dtl>  of Archives of Internal Medicine. Moreover, Dr. Michel de Lorgeril of Joseph Fourier University and the National Center of Scientific Research in Grenoble, France, and coauthors argue that major discrepancies exists between the significant reductions in nonfatal stroke and heart attacks reported in the JUPITER trial and what has been found in other research. "The JUPITER data set appears biased," Lorgeril and coauthors wrote in conclusion. De Lorgeril and coauthors point out that nine of 14 authors of the JUPITER article have financial relationships with AstraZeneca, which sponsored the trial.

Note: There is intriguing evidence that much of the fear around cholesterol was fabricated to sell drugs. For more on this, see the article by one of the most respected doctors on the Internet at this link <http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/07/20/the-truth-about-statin-drugs-revealed.aspx> .

Magnets can improve Alzheimer's symptoms
June 24, 2010, The Independent (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/magnets-can-improve... <http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/magnets-can-improve-alzheimers-symptoms-2008823.html> 

Applying magnets to the brains of Alzheimer's disease sufferers helps them understand what is said to them. The finding by Italian scientsts, who conducted a randomised controlled trial of the treatment, suggests that magnets may alter "cortical activity" in the brain, readjusting unhealthy patterns caused by disease or damage. The study was small, involving just 10 patients, and the results are preliminary. But the scientists from Brescia and Milan say [the results] "hold considerable promise, not only for advancing our understanding of brain plasticity mechanisms, but also for designing new rehabilitation strategies in patients with neurodegenerative disease." Although many may scoff, the capacity of magnets to affect the working of the brain is already well established. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), the technique investigated by the Italian scientists, has already been shown in separate experiments by British researchers to temporarily stun the part of the brain which controls speech, rendering volunteers unable to utter familiar words. In a similar way, a magnetic wand waved over the left side of the head, can make the right arm jump involuntarily. The excitation of the neuronal pathways that this demonstrates suggests, according to researchers, that the technique might be useful in the rehabilitation of stroke victims.

Argentina legalizes gay marriage in historic vote
July 15, 2010, MSNBC/Associated Press
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38251758/ns/world_news-americas

Argentina legalized same-sex marriage [on July 15], becoming the first country in Latin America to declare that gays and lesbians have all the legal rights, responsibilities and protections that marriage brings to heterosexual couples. The law is sure to bring a wave of marriages by gays and lesbians who have found Buenos Aires to be a welcoming place to live. But same-sex couples from other countries shouldn't rush their Argentine wedding plans, since only citizens and residents can wed in the country, and the necessary documents can take months to obtain. While it makes some amendments to the civil code, many other aspects of family law will have to be changed. Nine gay couples had already married in Argentina after persuading judges that the constitutional mandate of equality supports their marriage rights, although their validity was later challenged by other judges. Congressional passage now removes that doubt. When the final vote came, cheers and hugs broke out among the bill's supporters. Sen. Norma Morandini ... compared the discrimination closeted gays face to the oppression imposed by Argentina's dictators decades ago. "What defines us is our humanity, and what runs against humanity is intolerance," she said.

This is not just about oil gushing out in the Gulf of Mexico from
carelessness by BP with BP driven to drill deep wells by the pressure from
we consumers who want to keep on driving.  

 

It is about other things that we-the-people do as well.  

 

One of these is the plastic bag problem - let's clean it up.   The solution
is to purchase cloth bags that you carry with you to the market.  I have
them and use them.  Let's all do this.

Action Today 

Californians use approximately 19 billion single use plastic bags each year.
However, less than 5% of all single use plastic bags are recycled.  Instead,
many of these plastic bags become litter in our oceans and our communities.
We need your help to stop
<http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=WsSvLJeFbRIZtxBmgy9Ofg..>  plastic
bag pollution in our state. 

The California legislature is poised to pass AB 1998, banning single-use
plastic bags. Governor Schwarzenegger has said he'll sign it, however, there
is stiff opposition from the American Chemistry Council and other industry
groups.  

Join Sierra Club California, grocers, local government, environmental
groups, marine protection groups and the Governor in calling for the
<http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=r_3HalDqCmcKdoZm0TIdRQ..> passage of
AB 1998 by sending your senator a letter of support.

<http://cryptogon.com/?p=2120> http://cryptogon.com/?p=2120 
Could it be that the American military in Afghanistan is involved in drug
trafficking? Yes, it is quite possible, according to Russia's Ambassador to
Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov.

 

 <http://cryptogon.com/?p=2120> cryptogon.com > Narco Aggression: Russia
Accuses the U.S. Military of Involvement in Drug Traffic

cryptogon.com

The British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS, or more popularly "MI6?) was
going to run a covert operation that would have been tasked with providing
combat training to the Taliban/enemy/terrorists/etc. as well as, "vocational
training, including farming and irrigation techniques."

 

 

 <http://www.facebook.com/naomi.mullen> Naomi Mullen 

When Russia backed the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan to crush the Taliban
and Al Qaeda in the post-9/11 scenario, the last thing it expected to happen
was that drug trafficking from Afghanistan would assume gargantuan
proportions under the U.S. military. Since 2001, poppy fields, once banned
by the Taliban, have mushroomed again. According to the United Nations
Office on Drugs and Crime, Afghanistan produced 8,200 tonnes of opium last
year, enough to make 93 per cent of the world's heroin supply.

The U.S.-led North Atlantic Treaty Organisation [NATO] forces in the country
have not only failed to eliminate the terrorist threat from the Taliban, but
also presided over a spectacular rise in opium production. Russia's Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov said Afghanistan was on the brink of becoming a
"narco state".

Narco business has emerged as virtually the only economy of Afghanistan and
is valued at some $10 billion a year. Opium trade is estimated by the U.N.
to be equivalent to 53 per cent of the country's official economy and is
helping to finance the Taliban.

 

Comment from M.R.  It is used not only to finance the Taliban, but the CIA
as well.  I did not post it, but I just ran across an article in the last
couple days asking why President Obama did no disband the CIA as it is a
run-a-way organization, the business of which even the President knows
little. There have been many articles come across my desktop indicating that
the CIA is heavily involved in what are known as "Black Ops" and it becomes
quite obvious that the president is not the person who is in charge of the
country or even has the faintest idea of what is going on.  He is only a
figurehead - a puppet whose strings are pulled by those who are "unelected"
but rule by the sheer power of the money they control.  

 

And U.S. elections serve only to distract and keep distracted we-the-people
so we don't ever wake up to wht is really going on. Let us please not kid
ourselves.

This is consistent with what I have heard as well and explains why President
Obama used INTERPOL and not the CIA or the FBI to harangue the illegal
banking operation in December of last year.  I was not aware of Russia's
involvement.  Americans need to know this and a whole heap of many other
things too...

One of these is the plastic bag problem - let's clean it up.   The solution
is to purchase cloth bags that you carry with you to the market.  I have
them and use them.  Let's all do this.

Dear Mary,


 <http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=H4jS2S6DgLdpYsRuPkli-w..> Take
Action Now
To Stop Plastic Bag
Pollution!

 <http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=599lZOdsyvHGKj7bHFJ-JQ..> Plastic
Bags

 <http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=8GnC8bZ7KOMbyCS7immQpg..> Take
Action Today 

Californians use approximately 19 billion single use plastic bags each year.
However, less than 5% of all single use plastic bags are recycled.  Instead,
many of these plastic bags become litter in our oceans and our communities.
We need your help to stop
<http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=WsSvLJeFbRIZtxBmgy9Ofg..>  plastic
bag pollution in our state.

The California legislature is poised to pass AB 1998, banning single-use
plastic bags. Governor Schwarzenegger has said he'll sign it, however, there
is stiff opposition from the American Chemistry Council and other industry
groups. 

Join Sierra Club California, grocers, local government, environmental
groups, marine protection groups and the Governor in calling for the
<http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=r_3HalDqCmcKdoZm0TIdRQ..> passage of
AB 1998 by sending your senator a letter of support.

Let's do something tangible to address ocean pollution and litter in our
communities.

So, what does everyone else think?  My feelings are that it isn't just the
people.  We have a system that God himself if there was one couldn't handle.
Time for change.

These REPRESENTIVES are exactly why we are not represented.



 


 


OUR CONGRESS AT WORK. 


 

    Should we buy them larger screen computers - or - a ticket home,
permanently?

 


Nothing else need to be said.  This is one of their THREE DAY WORK WEEKS
that we all pay for.  I am ready to start from the beginning by voting out
all elected officials and not letting any of them stay in office for more
than two terms.  No more lifelong healthcare, retirement, voting in their
own pay raises, taking perks on our taxes, etc.

  



House Minority Leader  Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, pictured standing,
far  right, speaks while colleagues Rep. Barbara Lambert, Milford ,and Rep.
Jack F. Hennessy, Bridgeport, play solitaire Monday night as the House
convened to vote on a  new budget. (AP)

The guy sitting in the row in front of these two...  he's on Facebook, and
the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores. 

These are the folks that can't get the budget out by Oct. 1,  Seriously!!! 

So, weve got a 30 day budget extension. Well, guess what, 30 days from now
we will be in the same boat. I guess this makes it easy for the news
reporters as all they have to do is recycle the same headlines from this
week and from 2 years ago. And these yo-yos will still be playing
SOLITAIRE!!! 

I'm all for voting ALL of them out and starting with a clean slate! Limit
terms and no life time benefits!!! And how about pop-quizzes on the bills
and issues! 

 

KEEP THIS GOING, DON'T LET IT STOP WITH YOU!!!

I think this technology is amazing! I am thinking of the medical applications of this technology specifically. It would be amazing to develop ways of better understanding the minds of people suffering from autism, schizophrenia, alzheimers, etc. We could map the progress or regression of skills this way or to better understand emotional states. Yes, there are many "fun" applications of this as well. Some of these even feel very "Harry Potter"! I imagine that, with any new technology, there will be those afraid of it, but I was especially impressed with the idea that you teach the computer to do tasks or to respond to your emotional state. Perhaps visualization and meditation techniques could be practiced to help those suffering from anxiety. It is very exciting!"

Though we may be overwhelmed by many choices, many times, dealing with those choices takes another set of skills that aren't so obvious. For one, if you are faced with a wall of choices that you understand fairly well, just think about which choice sounds most appealing at the spur of a moment and run with it. Or, if you have a wall to paint and a spectrum of colors to choose from, be creative and imagine something you want to make and go with the choice that is closest.

We are often overwhelmed with meaningless choices too, however. For instance, the multiple flavors of gum, ice cream, soda, etc., aren't always different enough from one another to justify having a totally new option. A lot of choices are made for different reasons than we think.

So, depending on the situation, lots of choices can be both good and bad. If choices are there for creativity, then by all means, I want many choices. But if I go to the ice cream shop and there is a wall of choices, I get indecisive."

What occurred to me this morning as I was out taking my walk is that getting
people to pay a lot of money and transport themselves long distances to come
to a seminar telling them 

how and what they need to think in order to save their lives today, is like
telling someone caught in an undertow and drowning in the ocean that for a
certain sum of money you will throw them a device they can watch in order to
learn how to swim.  

 

We need to change the way we think about these things.

Subject: [GJM] Quantum Physics for many things including new products -
	encourage you to CHECK this out
Message-ID: <010101cb2dbe$f0b28aa0$d2179fe0$@net>

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS 

  

 

www.energticinteractions.com/lynnbuett uses Quantum Physics for many things

Ok this is totally different than anything that has ever been done.

they have three products now that are remarkable and many more on the way
using quantum physics to code water and products with 'messages'. 
It's not necessary to understand any of this, every product comes with a no
questions asked money back guarantee.

First product is for wrinkles. It actually sends a message to the deepest
level of your skin to grow collagen and produce elastin, hydrate etc. Well,
I am living proof. I was going in for a face lift and used this product
twice a day for a week and the results were remarkable enough that I
cancelled the face lift. 6 weeks later my face is still improving daily and
it is truly a miracle.

They have a new gas card that when you just hold it under your gas tank for
5 minutes you can visably see a difference in the idle speed RPMs go down,
when your window is rolled down you can feel the difference of the
smoothness of your engine, AND there are no emissions coming out of your
tail pipe at all, just pure steam. You can smell the huge difference in just
5 mins. This improves your gas mileage from 25-35% as well as cleaning your
engine out and making your car run like a rocket, like when it was brand
new! All this guaranteed!

If you have questions write to me as I am a distributor. I am looking for
distributors now for all areas. It's brand new and the company just launched
formally 4 months ago so as far as opps go this is huge.

 <mailto:lynnbuett%40yahoo.com> lynnbuett at yahoo.com 

Thanks for reading. This could literally save our air, get much more out of
our gas mileage, and could make you some $$ in the process if you want to do
it as a business.

Dear Dave, delightful reading.  I only wish you were using your talents in a
much more productive way than running for the Senate in a country where we
have the "best government money can buy," and for which at the present time
anyway there seems to be no alternative. 
Sad to say, you  don't stand much of a chance of getting elected simply
because you are far too "overqualified" for the job, and that puts fear in
the hearts of most Americans addicted to "the way things are," and hell bent
on maintaining the status quo -- wringing the last 2 cents worth out of
coal, oil and gas while both out economic and ecological systems collapse
around us. And, if by chance you do get elected, your own party will keep
you from doing anything positive, because they too have been bought. 

As to the Border problem, I am faced with the same thing here in my
community as people too small to know what love is continue to practice
their hate agenda, not realizing that it is eating them alive along with the
rest of us.  

With much love and in gratitude for who you are and all that you do.

Subject: Is the border Arizona's primary problem?

I've submitted the following to Tucson's daily paper as an op-ed piece.
We'll see if 
they decide to publish. It's definitely a hot-button issue in these parts
with SB1070 
(show me your papers) set to go into effect in a few days.

Is the border Arizona's primary problem?
by Dave Ewoldt
July, 2010
http://daveforarizona.blogspot.com/2010/07/is-border-arizonas-primary-proble
m.html

Is the border "problem" really the most pressing issue we have to deal with
today?

Well, let's see. The planet is heating up, we've run out of the cheap,
polluting energy 
necessary to continue economic growth, our elders are overdosing on
prescription 
drugs at a rate three times higher than all illegal drugs combined,
biodiversity is 
disappearing at a rate high enough to be called the Sixth Great Extinction,
our local 
economies are being sucked dry by the corporate and financial elite who have
stolen 
our democracy, and the activist Supreme Court has made it easier for them to

continue doing so--as well as greasing the skids to ensure all these other
problems 
continue unabated.

For the past 100 years we've depended on Mexicans to pick our food, make our

beds, build our homes, and now we want to build an apartheid wall and
militarize the 
border in order for us to continue denying our responsibility to fix the
mess we've 
created by scapegoating the oppressed.

Can someone please explain to me the thinking, and I use that term very
loosely, 
behind all this?

The "we" I'm referring to is the Western industrial civilization on steroids
that is 
known as the American way of life. We feel so entitled to this way of life
that our 
political leaders insist that it is "non-negotiable" when trying to
formulate even weak 
and vapid responses to the environmental and social collapse rapidly heading
our 
way due to ecocide, injustice, and inequity.

There is indeed a whole lot of room for improvement. Which is what makes it
all so 
frustrating for me. There is a readily available alternative in
relocalization--a rational, 
practical, affordable process to develop a sustainable future--that could
actually 
serve to improve quality of life for all life. But here in Arizona people
have allowed 
themselves to be distracted over the border issue as if it's the only thing
that matters.

I mean, we can't blame the Mexicans for the Colorado River going dry, as it
doesn't 
even make it to Mexico any longer.

The idea that as rational creatures we could use our highly vaunted
intelligence to 
reverse direction as we discover we're going the wrong way is a concept I've
been 
using in my research, writing and community work challenging the growth
lobby for 
about a decade now. I've also found myself recently paraphrasing, on a
rather 
regular basis, a line from Swami Beyondananda (Steve Bhaerman): Maybe it's
past 
time for nature's children to start acting like nature's adults. 

Hmm, do ya think?

We (Americans in the generic sense) aren't doing enough to turn the ship of
state 
around--squiggly lightbulbs and hybrid cars not withstanding. The American
way of 
consumer life is still being sold to the developing world as the highest
good they 
could possibly aspire to. This is done for no other good reason but to
support and 
continue economic growth that actually only benefits a very small sector of
the global 
population--to the ultimate detriment of the majority as well as to the
planet that 
supports our lives and economies.

What I'm discovering in my campaign for political office is that quite a few
people 
don't want to think about the actual issues and what could be done about
them. They 
just want to slap a band-aid on a few symptoms (what I call the wounds of
empire) 
and get on with their life. They want things to return to normal and don't
want to think 
about the fact that normal is what got us to this point.

For instance, the current status quo fantasy is that we're not really
running out of 
water in the Southwest desert. It is taken as a given that some technology
will come 
along to allow us to "invent" new water supplies (this used to be referred
to as 
alchemy). The only thing we need to do is secure the border and everything
will be 
just fine. Then we can go back to paving over the desert so the tourists who
come to 
enjoy the desert will be able to quickly and more easily get from one place
where the 
desert used to be to another place where the desert used to be. 

The tourists just better hope their cars don't overheat. And that enough
Americans--
75% of whom, according to the Pentagon, are too overweight and/or out of
shape to 
qualify for military service--will be available and willing to do all that
paving for a 
minimum wage with no benefits for an out-of-state contractor enticed here
with tax 
exemptions and waivers of development impact fees.

TELLING IT LIKE IT IS!

A Jim Bell & Common Sense Commentary

www.jimbell.com <http://www.jimbell.com/> , 619-758-9020

 

We humans are something special and rare.

 

In spite of there being an estimated 5 to 100 million species of life on our
planet, our species is the only one sufficiently conscious to become
conscious of existence and our place in it on all levels.

On the most foundational level, this means that if enough of us become
conscious enough, soon enough, we will be able to pass the birthright of a
peaceful and life-supporting world to our children and future generations.

 

Additionally, increasing consciousness will open us to new potential and
possibilities on this planet and beyond.

 

Unfortunately, our pursuit of consciousness will be cut short if we continue
to live and make livings in ways that hurt others and cause life-support
system damage. The Gulf oil gusher is just the latest example of how
economic gambling can hurt people and our planet?s life-support system far
beyond what the gamblers risk.

 

Clearly, whatever threats loom before us, if the world?s population
continues to grow and we continue and even increase the average amount of
life-support damage we cause per capita, sooner or later our planet?s
life-support system will fail in some fundamental way. This will result in a
general human and life-form die-back. If such a failure is serious enough,
human extinction and even the extinction of life in general becomes a
possibility.

 

Some people believe that such a failure is underway. They offer as evidence
that 15% or 1/6 of the world?s population is malnourished or starving. That
70% of us are under-employed, have zero or next to zero health care and are
poorly clothed and housed. Additionally, there is an estimated 27,000
species of life that are going extinct each year, 270 to 2,700 times our
planet?s average extinction rate.

 

Additionally, human activities have released 80,000 or more chemicals into
our common environment (mostly over the past 70 years) and are now adding
1,000 new chemicals to the mix each year; chemicals and concoctions that our
planet?s life-support system has had zero experience processing or
neutralizing and zero experience in protecting itself from them.

 

WHAT WE MUST DO?

 

To avoid the utter failure of past civilizations, each individual and the
human family as a whole, have to become conscious enough to resolve human
differences without violence or its threat; and develop economies and ways
of life that benefit everyone and that are completely life-support
sustaining.

 

We are becoming more conscious but we are not yet conscious enough to stop
killing and hurting each other and causing damage to our planet?s
life-support system.

 

If we really want to leave our children and future generations the best
chance to enjoy a happy, healthy, prosperous and completely life-support
sustaining future, we have to become conscious enough and knowledgeable
enough to know what to do to bring the human family into life-support system
harmony.

 

If we don?t achieve this level of consciousness soon, we will follow the
path worn by previous civilizations, all of which utterly failed at the
height of their most advanced knowledge and sophistication.

 

But, if we become conscious and knowledgeable enough, soon enough -- we can
skip the decline and die off phase of past civilizations. Instead, we can
propel ourselves to the next level of consciousness and the new potential it
will open to us and to the human family?s future.

 

Obviously, our task is to meet this challenge, but what should we do?

 

The answer is simple. On the most fundamental and foundational level we need
to develop economies and ways of life that are cooperative, mutually
beneficial and life-support sustaining and we need to do this wherever we
live and ultimately, planet wide. To achieve this goal, the following steps
should be followed.

 

Step One - Become renewable energy self-sufficient.

 

When a home, community, city, county, region, state or country controls its
energy supply and price, it controls its economy, its ways of life, and most
everything else -- no matter what happens to the price and supply of energy
on national and global markets.

 

Because solar energy in its various forms is free and even delivered free,
the only cost to benefit from it are the labor and materials for increasing
electricity use efficiency and manufacturing and installing renewable energy
collection devices on our roofs and over our parking lots. And given that
our inventors/developers are still getting better at saving energy and
converting various forms of solar energy into electricity and other uses,
the cost of efficiency improvements and renewably generated electricity and
other work will continue to fall.

 

Every level of becoming renewable energy self-sufficient creates
opportunities. In San Diego County, where I live, there is an abundance of
direct sunlight. Additionally, the county has substantial wind, biomass,
ocean current, wave and tidal energy from which electricity can be produced.

 

But, even if direct sunlight was its only resource, and assuming 40 kWh of
electricity, natural gas and transportation fuels are consumed directly or
indirectly per capita per day, San Diego County could become renewable
energy self-sufficient by increasing energy use efficiency by 40% and
covering 43% of its roofs and parking lots with 15% efficient PV panels.

 

Economically, becoming renewable energy self-sufficient will increase
countywide economic activity by over $175 billion over a forty year
implementation period and create over 1 million job-years of employment in
the process.

 

What about cost?

 

Actually, becoming renewable energy self-sufficient will cost less than
continuing our dependences on imported energy -- especially if we make the
transformation with a little intelligence and grace.

 

Assuming an average cost of 10 cents per kWh over 40 years, making San Diego
County renewable electricity self-sufficient alone would save the county $24
billion.* Since electricity makes up around 40% of the energy the average
person uses per day, it follows that a renewably energy self-sufficient San
Diego County would save around $60 billion over a 40-year transition period.
Additionally, the higher the cost that electricity rises above 10 cent per
kWh on the open market, the greater the County?s positive cash-flow and
resulting economic multiplier benefit will be.

 

Step Two - Become renewable water self-sufficient.

 

Water is essential to life. It is essential to the water-rich lifestyle most
people in the developed world already have and that people in the developing
world would like to have.

 

Using San Diego County as an example, increasing the coverage of its roofs
and parking lots by another 5% with 15% efficient PV panels will allow it to
become renewable energy and water self-sufficient. The addition electricity
will power reverse osmosis (RO) pumps to force saltwater against membranes
that let freshwater through, but block salt, other minerals and most
pollutants. 

 

Assuming the worst case scenario of zero rainfall and zero imported water,
five percent coverage of San Diego County?s roofs and parking lots with 15%
efficient PV panels would make enough electricity to produce 776,000 acre
ft. of water each year. San Diego County now uses around 600,000 acre ft. of
water each year. By installing PV panels over 8% of its roofs and parking
lots, San Diego County could become a substantial water exporter to inland
communities.

 

Sea life will be protected from RO pumps by extracting the saltwater to be
processed through sand filtration (extracting saltwater through coastal
wells and through sea bottom sand filtration). Wastewater or brine left over
from the RO process will be evaporated in shallow open ponds so salt and
other minerals left behind can be mined. When any RO wastewater is returned
to the sea, it would be diluted by sand-filtered salt water to no more than
20% saltier than natural seawater, then released diffusely into the ocean.

 

Step Three ? Become renewable food self-sufficient.

 

With renewable energy and water self-sufficiency, comes the ability to be
renewable food self-sufficient. It also allows for the growth of a great
deal of the fiber and lumber.

 

To make this real, it is essential that we protect our agricultural soils
from further development and other misuse. Research indicates that we still
have enough agricultural soil on our planet to feed everyone a nutritious
diet of tasty, sustainably-grown food with lots of variety. With renewable
energy powered RO, this is true for San Diego County. Unfortunately, this
will not be true for San Diego County or our world for long if we do not
protect and preserve our best agricultural soils for life-supporting
agriculture.

 

Step Four ? Population

 

Each person should make a personal choice to be the birth parent of no more
than two children unless a child or children die before reproducing
themselves. If this was practiced worldwide, the world?s population would
decline by ?% 1% to per year. A 1% decline per year would reduce the world?s
population to 2.5 billion people in 100 years. This was the world?s
population in the mid 1950s. With a population drop of ?% per year, this
would happen in 200 years.

 

Step Five ? Develop a Space Debris Detection and Defense System

 

We already have the technology to locate all earth-orbit-crossing space
objects. We also have the technology, to deflect earth bound objects large
enough to cause serious life-support harm if they collide with us, if we
discover them soon enough. We could an even capture such objects into earth
or the moon orbits for scientific study and mining.

 

Final Thoughts:

 

Bottom line, if we want to leave the birthright of a happy, healthy,
prosperous, life-supporting sustainable future to our young and future
generations, these 5 steps are the minimum we must do, and the sooner the
better.

 

We?ve come so far, why blow it now? We know what can be done. All we have to
do is do it. If those living over the next 60 years or so develop
life-support sustaining economies and ways of life planet wide, there is
little to stop us from colonizing space in our own galaxy and beyond.

focuses on renewable electricity self-sufficiency in San Diego County, the
investment strategies it develops can be used to become renewable energy
self-sufficient for gaseous and liquid fuels as well. Additionally, this
strategy can work almost anywhere on our planet, modified for climate,
renewable energy sources available and other local conditions. With
modifications, it will also work for becoming renewable water and food
self-sufficient as well. For more depth, www.jimbell.com

OUR CONGRESS AT WORK. 


 

    Should we buy them larger screen computers - or - a ticket home,
permanently?

 


Nothing else need to be said.  This is one of their THREE DAY WORK WEEKS
that we all pay for.  I am ready to start from the beginning by voting out
all elected officials and not letting any of them stay in office for more
than two terms.  No more lifelong healthcare, retirement, voting in their
own pay raises, taking perks on our taxes, etc.

  



House Minority Leader  Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, pictured standing,
far  right, speaks while colleagues Rep. Barbara Lambert, Milford ,and Rep.
Jack F. Hennessy, Bridgeport, play solitaire Monday night as the House
convened to vote on a  new budget. (AP)

The guy sitting in the row in front of these two...  he's on Facebook, and
the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores. 

These are the folks that can't get the budget out by Oct. 1,  Seriously!!! 

So, weve got a 30 day budget extension. Well, guess what, 30 days from now
we will be in the same boat. I guess this makes it easy for the news
reporters as all they have to do is recycle the same headlines from this
week and from 2 years ago. And these yo-yos will still be playing
SOLITAIRE!!! 

I'm all for voting ALL of them out and starting with a clean slate! Limit
terms and no life time benefits!!! And how about pop-quizzes on the bills
and issues! 

 

KEEP THIS GOING, DON'T LET IT STOP WITH YOU!!!

AMEN!!

 

Marilyn, I'm glad you understand what I am saying here.  The people who need
help with transformation the most, don't have the ability to pay someone to
enable them in making the transformation.  While we are a country that
seemingly believes in free education, we aren't about to give people
information on what it takes to survive a downturn like this or to prevent
it.  We only give information on how to create it.  

 

I'm also on the Advisory Board for the Hearts of Fire project, an NGO
founded and directed by Bob Ballard. www.heartsoffireproject.ning.com.
Bob, along with me, has the philosophy that people who are homeless are
going to be the first ones through the door into the future.  They have
nothing to lose by going through the door into the new world while those who
still have property and bank accounts along with businesses rooted in the
Industrial Society will be the last to go because they feel they may have
everything to lose and nothing to gain.  They won't have acquired the skills
necessary to make it since they are rooted in the Industrial Age, and don't
have any desire to learn the skills required in the Age of Knowledge.

Well, I don't have a party. I'm running as an Independent for exactly that
reason.

It also means I don't have party resources to help out with the campaign,
but under 
Arizona's clean election laws, we'll have some financing to be able to get
the word 
out enough to cover the district I'm running in.

My core campaign committee is about 3/4 registered Green, a couple of
Democrats 
and a couple of Republicans, so it's an interesting mix.

m.r. Well good luck. With regard to the Border issue, drugs do play a major
role as they are a lucrative trade.  Especially with the U.S.
using 40% of all of the world's illegal drug production with only 0.5% of
the world's population. In order to stop the trafficking that goes on, we
must stop the demand. With the amount of money we are talking about here,
it's like sticking one's finger in a 10 mile wide hole and trying to stop
the water coming through the dike. Here again, the U.S.' voracious appetite
is the source of the problem.

Subject: [GJM] Absolutely MUST READ: US Map to startle even the most
	pessimistic!
Message-ID: <003401cb2e12$68342d10$389c8730$@net>

Robyn, thanks for this very graphic demonstration that really grabs both
sides of the brain and makes one sit up and pay attention.  I have to get
this on Facebook and to the Transformative Media Group on AOAND as well as
sending it out to the TransitionUS group.  And when this map shows over 10%
I do know that in many areas, e.g. California, and Michigan where the rates
are over 20 - 50% in some counties.  

 

I want to comment again on why I am putting together a team to do prison
reform.  Many states are now in bankruptcy and are having to release prison
inmates because the prisons are now so overcrowded that many of them are
holding double the number of prisoners the facility was designed for.  For
instance Donovan State Prison here in San Diego is housing 4700 inmates in a
facility built to house 2200.  So, over the next year 40,000 prisoners -
supposedly non-violent-are going to be released into the California general
population.  And, what is known is that at least 5 states in California have
an unemployment rate of 20% or more.   And, as we look at the map that Robyn
has provided for us, we see how many areas of California are black.  So, the
question arises as to how many former inmates are going to be able to get
jobs when they are released and how many are going to be living out on the
streets and hungry and ready to do whatever it takes to obtain food, water
and medical care when needed.  Most of them are going to go into
drug-dealing as the only avenue open to them and, when they do, they are
going to line up many of those others who are among the millions who do not
have jobs and who may also be homeless and show them how to deal drugs in
order to obtain the necessities of life.  And, the figure of 40% of the
world's illegal drug production being used by the U.S., is going to increase
dramatically.  So, we need a way to engage both inmates and those about to
be released in ways that create a healthy way of living for them, and we
also need to evolve their consciousness so they are no longer interested in
dealing and using drugs.    

 

And, Robyn is right as she writes below that  it is time for people to take
the initiative and create work for themselves. And due to the food shortage
that is going to hit us very soon as an inevitable facet of this economic
downturn, everyone needs to get involved in raising their own food.  It is
very unlikely that the banks are going to be able to repossess the number of
homes that are going to go into foreclosure over the next couple years as
commercial real estate as well begins to hit the foreclosure proceedings
timeline and  more and more businesses are forced into closing.   So people
need to not fall over when the foreclosure notice arrives, but fight it by
asking for the mortgage papers.  And what I understand is that when you ask
to see the mortgage documents they cannot be found because the mortgage has
been sold so many times that no one knows where the papers are.  So, do not
stop raising your own food in your yard, no matter how small, prior to the
time your home is actually foreclosed on and you must move out.  It
generally takes a year at most for the foreclosure proceeding to take place.
And, in many instances, the timeline for foreclosure is 3 - 4 years due to
so many of them taking place.  

 

We need to talk as a group at another time about what everyone needs to do
to best position themselves to survive this collapse.  And how communities
may best prepare themselves for what is to come.   

 

The main thing people need to do is to set up a local currency system so
that there is a means of doing barter and exchange for goods and services.
And, the businesses that are set up need to be ones that are based in
products and services that are vital for our well- being - not on
non-necessities.  And, we will be covering more on this as we move along.

Take a look at this map.  It shows how the unemployment rate has changed
over the past several months.  When you get to the map, click the arrow in
the middle and watch how things changed.  Incredible what "The Great
Recession" has done. 

 

The old saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words" is never more true
than looking at this map.

 

Viewing it only takes a few seconds.

 

The darker the color, the higher the unemployment. 2009 has been BRUTAL.
Watch the changes in the map from Dec. 08 to 12/09 - SHOCKING

 

This is  a startling map.  Hard to believe!

Dear All,

After some time, we have finally close to the end of changing of our structure. Thank you for your patience!

What's new? Quite a lot.

1. Changes in the organization
First of all, we are going to decentralize and focus on the project-oriented structure. Please check the introduction section of our forum, or you can easily download short pdf presentation through the file below:
New Introduction to the RBEF

2. New Projects
Secondly, we have 1st tier projects running already and its coordinators ready to accept new members as well as co-coordinators. Please refer to the introduction and our presentation above. As always we are open to accept new projects at any time. The current 1st tier projects are:

1. Global legal NPOs network (Cosar)
2. Transition Plan research (_dm)
3. Business Involvement (Animus)
4. Promotion (apply!)
5. Software Development (Venux)
6. Political presence (lucidmind)

Please contact coordinators directly or write in the appropriate forum section to join the team or coordinate 2nd tier projects (eg. opening the branch in your country, developing specific software, improving the website etc.).

3. Cooperation with RBOSE and AOSDT
This weekend we are going to discuss the cooperation between our groups and the possible merger. Since we have the similar goals, there is no point in achieving them separately. We expect the rapid growth after this merger due to the synergy effect.

4. Change of name
Finally, we have a new name: RBEFoundation. Previous name Resource Based Economy Foundation is not going to be used due to the copyright claims. Soon, the logo and other relevant sections shall be redesigned.

Thank you for your time reading this and see you on our forum!

Best Regards,
RBEFoundation

Message-ID: <002901cb2eb9$d1c7f0c0$7557d240$@net>

 Could we do this here in the U.S. my friends?  It is my feeling that we need to do away with the 2-party system where it is like putting two pitt bulls in an arena and watching them go for each other?s juglar vein in a winner take all scenario.  And, until we institute a system where we have everyone on the same side and operating in the best interests of all concerned, including the planet ? our life support system?then we are going to have this winner take all stand continuing on.  But cleaning the corruption out of the system would go a long way in getting things straightened out.  So what do you say?  Should we, can we begin something like this?  

 

Since the Global Justice Movement is a list to which we contribute articles and comments, it is my feeling that ?The Global Justice Movement in Support of AVAAZ? would be a good name, but am open to other suggestions.  Then AVAAZ could do the work of keeping track of the amounts donated to the cause, but it would get our name and efforts involved in a very good cause.  How does everyone feel about this?  

 

Something I began just today is contacting the women on my Facebook, Plaxo, and LinkedIn lists (which number over 5,000) to see if they will support prison reform, first in the state of California and then across the U.S., so I can?t head this up ? too little time, not enough of me ? but maybe Marilyn N. or Stephanie S., or one of you guys could head this up.  I would put up a Future Dawning website on TransitionUS and start a group on Facebook in my name if someone else could administrate it and add their name.  And, I would invite all of my contacts to join.  

 

With the Prison Reform program I am concentrating on getting women?s support because the prison system is such a patriarchial-oriented system based on terrorism, punishment, and violence it will take women-power in large numbers to clean this mess up.   But as the Dalai Lama said: ?The Western woman will do this.?  So, let us begin ? ladies grab your brooms and let?s sweep and welcome all heart-centered men to be at our sides.  May we remember the Inquisition and how many thousands of our sisters gave their lives at that time when patriarchial rule was much more deadly than today.  

 

With love and in gratitude to all for all that we do as individuals and all we do together.

Subject: Huge win in Brazil - let's take it global

 

Dear friends,

A massive online campaign by the Avaaz community in Brazil has just won a stunning victory against corruption.

The "clean record" law was a bold proposal that banned any politician convicted of crimes like corruption and money laundering from running for office. With nearly 25% of the Congress under investigation for corruption, most said it would never pass. But after Avaaz launched the largest online campaign in Brazilian history, helping to build a petition of over 2 million signatures, 500,000 online actions, and tens of thousands of phone calls, we won! 

Avaaz members fought corrupt congressmen daily as they tried every trick in the book to kill, delay, amend, and weaken the bill, and won the day every time. The bill passed Congress, and already over 330 candidates for office face disqualification!

One Brazilian member wrote to us when the law was passed, saying:

I have never been as proud of the Brazilian people as I am today! Congratulations to all that have signed. Today I feel like an actual citizen with political power. -- Silvia 

Our strategy in Brazil was simple: make a solution so popular and visible that it can?t be opposed, and be so vigilant that we can?t be ignored.

This victory shows what our community can do - at a national level, in developing nations, and on the awful problem of corruption. Anywhere in the world, we can build legislative proposals to clean up corruption in government, back them up with massive citizen support, and fight legislators who try to block them.

France's Le Monde called our "impressive and unprecedented petition" campaign a "spectacular political and moral victory for civil society." And while this victory may be a first, we can make it the precedent for global citizen action.

Amazingly, our entire Brazil campaign was made possible by just a couple of Avaaz team members, serving over 600,000 Avaaz members in Brazil. The power of the Avaaz model is that technology can enable a tiny team to help millions of people work together on the most pressing issues. It's one of the most powerful ways a small donation can make a difference in the world.

5.6 million of us are reading this email -- if a small fraction of us donate just $3 or $5 per week, or 50 cents per day, the entire Avaaz team will be funded and we can even expand our work on corruption and a range of issues. Click below to become a Sustainer of Avaaz and help take our anti-corruption campaigning global:

We've seen the heart-wrenching movies about street kids and desperate urban poverty in Brazil, and we know that across the world political corruption preys on our communities and saps human potential. In Brazil, our community has helped turn the tide and usher in a new era of transparent, accountable politics. Let's seize the opportunity and begin to fight corruption everywhere it's needed today.

With hope,

Ricken, Luis, Graziela, David, Ben, Maria Paz, Benjamin and the entire Avaaz Team

Subject: Fwd: Dennis Kucinich: US out of Pakistan + defund Afghanistan VOTES THIS WEEK

PLEASE CALL YOUR US CONGRESSMAN

AND ASK THAT THEY SUPPORT THESE MEASURES. 

END THE WARS NOW!

 

Dennis Kucinich Announces Two Important House Votes

 

Click <http://kucinich.us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28867&Itemid=1>  here to view video.

Cleveland, Ohio (July 26, 2010) - Congressman Dennis Kucinich announces that he and Congressman Ron Paul are joining in a cause focused at compelling the removal of U.S. military forces from Pakistan. Later this week, Congressman Kucinich will also support ending the War in Afghanistan by cutting off funding for the war.


(Transcript follows below):


  _____  


Hi everyone, Dennis here

 

This week we have two very important votes for the future of this country and the future of the world. The first deals with Pakistan - House Concurrent Resolution 301, and the second deals with supplemental funding which will provide another 33-billion dollars to keep the War in Afghanistan going. I would like to speak to you briefly about both of those votes.

 

The first vote is likely to occur this Tuesday on House Concurrent Resolution 301, sponsored by myself and Congressman Ron Paul of Texas. This resolution aims to cause the United States to withdraw from Pakistan. Now, it's not generally known that we have at least 124 Special Forces troops on the ground inside Pakistan. It is absolutely urgent that we take a stand to stop spreading war in Pakistan. To nip in the bud the U.S. ground presence.

 

We already know the U.S. has had missile strikes inside Pakistan since March of 2005 with a lot of innocent villagers killed. All that we can do is to expand the war into Pakistan, destabilize that government and have the United States fighting on still another front. We have to get out of Pakistan and that's why Ron Paul and I have come together, for the first time, to force a vote on this question.

 

Later in the week we'll be faced once again with the question whether to continue to fund the War in Afghanistan. The New York Times and other news agencies have taken WikiLeaks reports and have released this news globally. And what we've learned in the last 24 hours is that there is another secret war going on in Afghanistan. A war of failure. A war of our troops getting undermined by people that we think are working with us.

 

This is occurring in Pakistan, it's also happening in Afghanistan. The Afghanistan government is a cesspool of corruption. There is no plausible way that anything even remotely resembling a democracy can be established there. Our presence there is an occupation fueling an insurgency.

 

We have to get out of Afghanistan. We owe it to our troops. We owe it to our national security. We owe it to our budget. We owe it to the American people who hope for a better life here at home.

 

So, again, this week, two important votes: one tomorrow to get out of Pakistan and, later this week, end the War in Afghanistan by cutting off funding. I'll be in touch with you as matters progress.

 

I appreciate your on-going support. I need your help to continue to serve in the United States Congress.

 

Thank you, very much.

Moving Into: TOTAL WELLNESS 

 

Right along with Marv's post on beef is Marilyn's post on Coke and other
soft drinks, although they may not be quite as deadly as Coke.  I have read
articles previously on how the sugar of Coke and Pepsi works to cut the
fatty taste of beef in hamburgers and thus smoothes the way for the appetite
to demand more of each.  A ploy used by fast food companies to sell more of
their product. 

 

Another thought about Coke is the amount of water used to make this drink
that is really only sugar and carmel- flavored water and contains no
nutritional value.  I will also have to post again the story of how the
aluminum cans are made as taken from Paul Hawken et al, "Natural
Capitalism."  The cost to the environment in getting this product to market
is incredible. 

 

With love and in gratitude, Marilyn

I know we can't believe everything we read on the computer, but, if just
half of this is right some of us are in big trouble.  I am not a "COKE"
person .


Subject: Water vs. Coke

 


I could not believe this.....  Very interesting 
 
                 

 
 WATER 

 #1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. 
  (Likely applies to half the world population) 
 
 
#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak 
 that it is mistaken for hunger. 
 
 
#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%. 
 

 #4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs 
    for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of 
Washington study. 
 
 
#5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. 
 
 
#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of 
      water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain 
 for up to 80% of sufferers. 
 
 
#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term
      memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on 
 the computer screen or on a printed page. 
 
 
#8.  Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of 
    colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast 
 cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop 
 bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water 
 you should drink every day? 
 
 

 COKE 
 
 #1.  In many states the highway patrol carries 
      two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from 
 the highway after a car accident. 
 

 #2.     You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke 
 and it will be gone in two days. 
 
#3.    To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the 
    toilet bowl and let the 'real thing' sit for one hour, 
 then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes 
 stains from vitreous china. 
 

 #4.    To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: 
      Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds 
 Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola. 
 

 #5.    To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour 
     a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble 
 away the corrosion. 
 

 #6.   To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola 
 to the rusted bolt for several minutes. 
 

 #7.    To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into 
  the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. 
 Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the
drippings to mix 
 with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy. 
 

 #8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke 
  into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run 
 through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen 
 grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your 
 windshield. 
 

 FOR YOUR INFORMATION: 
 
 #1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. 
 It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric 
 acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major 
 contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis. 
 
 #2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the 
 commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place 
 cards reserved for highly corrosive materials. 
 
 #3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean 
 engines of the trucks for about 20 years!

   Now the question is, would you like a glass of water? 

or Coke? 

 

 Quick! send this helpful info on to your friends health conscious or
not!!!!

I'm over on the TransitionUS site a lot now, and I posted this video there.
And someone from that movement is now aiding me in getting the Future

real life and it is very exciting.  

 

Thank you,

Subject: [GJM] The Healing Codes - Epigenetics by Bruce H. Lipton,
Message-ID: <000c01cb305d$8b89d970$a29d8c50$@net>

The Healing Code by Dr. Alex Loyd, et al. is a very powerful way of healing
yourself.  

And the research underlying it is based in part on the work of cell
biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton. 

 

Here is a video that may help you to understand part of what is going on as
quantum physics are used in the form of "energy healing."    

 

http://www.thehealingcodes.com/thoughts.htm

 

The process of Holodynamics as used by Dr. V. Vernon Woolf, is based in the
same science as is used here.  www.holodynamics.com

 

Getting the Healing Code book, I feel is very worthwhile - I have been using
it for several weeks now with good results in dealing with stress and really
like it because it is so easy.  However, I have also changed the wording
because as an atheist I do not believe in God.  So instead of using the word
God in the code when I am saying it, I use the words:  "the full power of
the Universe as it expresses itself through my heart," as I feel this is a
truer rendition of what is actually happening than attributing the action to
a "God" or a divine power.    

 

The "power" as I know it from my research is composed of the
"electromagnetic energy field" combined with the field of gravity and the
strong and the weak forces which interact with one another. And, I am able
to control this power with the power of my own mind which can create subtle
energy waves that serve to counteract other subtle energy waves that are
expressed as "emotions."  I am the "Body Electric" and am configured much
like a quantum computer. I am both a sending and a receiving station which
can be "fine tuned" to pick up certain wavelengths much as can a radio or a
TV set.

Dear All,

Despite considerable physical handicap, Michiel Bijkerk set out to bring
binary economics (under a different name) to the ordinary people of Cuba -

by going to Cuba and talking  to them!  Needless to say, the Cuban
government was very aware of his visit and seems to have tolerated it

because there is some doubt as to the future of communism in the island.

 

Anyway, it is very well written and a fascinating account of a timely
intervention at a significant moment in Cuba's history.

 

The GJM server seems not to accept the book text because of the size.  I
will send the English or Spanish version to anybody who asks me.

Robert,

1.       Re: Engage page of the official INET website.

 I  looked at the question ?What do you see as the ?crisis in economics???  It showed 66 answers as received  but only 10 were there so it looks as if 56 have been deleted.  This is probably because too many comments etc make for impossible reading.  

 

I doubt if there is anything sinister ? rather a desire to cut reading down to manageable size.

 

2.       Re: Facebook INET 

I cannot comment on the Facebook INET site as I do not involve myself in Facebook.

Why did you expect it to be deleted?

Message-ID: <007a01cb30d5$f33141d0$d993c570$@net>

Moving Into:  TOTAL WELLNESS  

 

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/07/31/aspartame-upda
te.aspx

 

 

While we go beserk over the behavior of BP in the Gulf of Mexico, we ignore
the actions of companies like Ajinamoto which produce deadly products like
aspartame that we consume every day.  And we suck up products, especially
diet soft drinks, that have no nutritional value in them as if they were
precious nutrients that would not be available much longer, while addicting
our children as well.   Isn't it time we began looking at our own behavior
rather than pointing the finger at companies that supply our toxins, even
though they must bear the guilt also.   

 

While mega disasters like oil gushers will damage the earth for many years
to come, insidious toxins like aspartame remain in our bodies and threaten
our well-being as well.  But the difference is that while we had little
control over what BP was doing in the Gulf, except that we are driving the
quest for oil by our own daily demand for it, we do have control over what
we put in our bodies as they are much closer to home.  

 

Isn't it time we began to so "NO" to all things that are unhealthy for us,
our children and the planet.  Isn't it time we began moving into "TOTAL
WELLNESS?"

Subject: [GJM] Biology of Perception & Psychology of Change Videos - Bruce
	Lipton & Rob Williams
Message-ID: <001b01cb3121$d01ec3b0$705c4b10$@net>

Hi Everyone - I found a complete set of You Tube videos for Dr. Bruce
Lipton's "Biology of Perception" course which is accompanied by Rob Williams
"Psychology of Change."  This duo is presented by Dr. Lipton and Rob
Williams as a retreat a couple times a year.  And a tremendous amount of
knowledge is available here.  

 

What I feel is most important is Dr. Lipton's presentation revealing the
"biology of life" as he demonstrates how both thoughts and movement emanate
in the body and then reveals how our belief systems affect how we behave.  

 

But most of all, as Bruce points out - for a very long time it has been
thought that genes controlled life and that was the end of it.  But now the
new field epigenetics is revealing that we have two minds - one is the
conscious mind and the other is the sub-conscious mind and the sub-conscious
can be reprogrammed in such a way as to allow behavioral change.    

 

It is all about the way we think and being open and willing to change our
lives.   

 

It is very important I feel that we erase the "myths" of yesterday with the
science of today so that we may move beyond "faith-based" and into assurance
of who we are and just how very powerful we are.  Our religious belief
systems have been directed for thousands of years at dumbing us down and
rendering us numb to who we truly are and the power that lies within us.
One of the most valuable parts of this is where Dr. Lipton talks about
"protectionism" and how this mode of operation stifles growth and
creativity.  It is high time that we "moved on" into self-realization and
the strength that comes from "self-knowing."       

 

I advise watching a couple of these videos a day over a period of time and
taking the time to assimilate all of the information in them.  Doing so has
the potential to change the way you think and consequently change your life.


 

You may also want a partner to discuss the videos with you as you view them
and some segments require two people to do the exercises included in Rob
Williams segment.       

 

Each of the following segments is about 10 minutes long.  

 

May I wish everyone well on their journey.  I am holding the field for the
fullest potential to unfold now in the best interests of all concerned.  

 

I will be posting more information on different ways of accomplishing
transformation over the next week or so.

Subject: [GJM] Westernism: 19 Colonosing the Globe (Must Read)
Message-ID: <298435.21619.qm@web51002.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Westernism: the Ideology of Hegemony
?
By Dr Javed Jamil
?
Part 19
?
West?s Crimes against humanity
?
I want to clarify again that ?West? in any of my discussions including this 
write up means Western power groups particularly the political and economic 
powers. ?West? does not include common people who are the victim of West and 
Westernism themselves; in fact they are the first victims of the rise of 
Westernism, the ideology that the Western powers have been promoting.? 
Westernism is primarily an ideology that is based on economic fundamentalism, 
meaning supremacy of economics in all affairs, scientific and technological 
development and its use for global supremacy and the dominance of West through 
military and non-military means.
The list of West?s crimes against humanity is too long to describe. Here I will 
just enumerate the major crimes. There are three types of major crimes:
	1. Ideological Crimes;
	2. Socioeconomic crimes;
	3. Political crimes
?
Ideological Crimes
	1. Promotion of economic fundamentalism as the pivot of all developments. 
Economic fundamentalism is an ideology that gives supremacy to economics in all 
the affairs of the world, Capitalism being one of its most dangerous kinds in 
which the economics are in the hands of a few who become the ultimate rulers of 
the world.
	2. Development of an ideological system based on negation of God, because God 
is the biggest problem for economic fundamentalism and monopolization of 
economic and political power. Till God is there in the minds and hearts of the 
people, society as a whole cannot be made addict or pervert; addiction and 
perversions are the beigest money spinners.
	3. Marginalization or privatization of religion. Religion relates to God, it 
puts restrictions on certain activities that are extremely useful from 
commercial angles
	4. Development of natural, social and practical sciences in a way that people 
do not even see the possibility of a New Worldafter the Destruction of the 
Current world; 

	5. Conscious nurturing of a feeling that life is to be enjoyed without fearing 
for ?unknown? consequences if any in the ?hereafter? and not giving up temporary 
enjoyment for future threats to life and society, as damage control can be 
achieved through ?moderation? in activities, use of ?safety devices? to prevent 
unwanted consequences and to go for treatment if the problems emerge even 
despite ?moderation? and ?safety devices?. 

?
Socioeconomic crimes
?
	1. Development of all social, political, scientific, economic and 
administrative institutions in a way that they all support the cause of economic 
fundamentalists;
	2. Conscious and planned disintegration of family system through legalization, 
popularization and glorification of relations outside family system; and 
creation of hurdles in the way of a proper marriage system between males and 
females.
	3. Commercialisation of all human weaknesses: drinking, gambling, sex.
	4. Promoting dangerous choices in the name of ?freedom of choices? so that 
these choices can be commercialized to the hilt. 

	5. Promotion of individualism
	6. Development of economic institutions in a way that the Economic Disparity 
continues to rise, with more and more wealth accumulating in the Western 
countries and there too in the hands of few people; 

	7. Fanning desires in a way that people are always ready to spend or invest in 
Industrial products or industries; and are not able to create their own private 
assets.
?
Political crimes
?
	1. Popularization of Western model of democracy as the only ?perfect? model of 
governance; those who do not adopt it are retrogressive;
	2. Turning Democracy into Corporatocracy where corporate rule through proxy;
	3. Creating conditions that make it impossible for the politicians to do 
anything substantially damaging to the interests of economic fundamentalists;
	4. Invading, bullying and threatening other countries in the name of democracy, 
?threat to international community?, international community invariably meaning 
Western powers and their supporters.
	5. Killing tens of millions in wars and civil wars in the 19th century onwards 
for the establishment of their political and economic hegemony; 

	6. Creating and sustaining Israelfor destabilizing Middle East;
	7. Using War against Terror as a ploy to threaten Muslim World and other 
anti-West nations into submission.
?
Let us concentrate our attention here on how Western powers colonized the globe 
for the economic monopolization of the earth:
?
Colonizing the globe
?
??????????????????????? Economic fundamentalism, as an ideology, has not only 
been embraced by the big business, it has also worked its way up?wards. The 
governments of certain countries, predominantly the same Western countries which 
were the cradles of economic fundamentalism, have specialized in the art of 
furthering their economic interests through whatever means possible. Since the 
ancient times, mili?tary power has been the chief, and perhaps, the only factor 
in the claim to supremacy in the world. This continued till the Second World War 
But the human and material cost of the Second World War assumed horrible 
proportions. The Western countries and their allies were the major participants 
in the War. It was also they who had to bear most of the suffering. With the end 
of the War, the world saw the emergence of new powers and new equations. 
Americaand Russiasoon donned the mantle of Super Powers. The Western lobby, led 
by the US, and supported among others by Britain, France, West Germanyand Japan, 
had realised that they could not afford major military confrontations any 
longer. They understood that the military capabilities of the two major 
contenders, and their allies, real and potential, had reached a stage where it 
was impossible, in case another military confrontation ensued, to foresee a 
clear winner. Their military ammunition was so huge and so destructive that any 
full-fledged war would herald doom for the whole of mankind. The realisation had 
dawned on the Western block that, in order to reign supreme, what was required 
was not the military but the economic supremacy. It does not mean that they were 
no longer interested in building their military strength. But they now conspired 
to use their supremacy as a military power for supporting their expansionist 
strategies in the field of economics.
??????????????????????? The West dreamt of becoming the lion of the world-the 
undisputed king, but without having any responsibility. To rule over the world 
without having to actually administer it, necessitated manoeuvring of 
international policies, popularisation of certain values and masterminding of 
the scientific and medical researches with certain specific aims. The big 
powers, though there was no love lost between them, had no alternative but to 
unite, at least for the time being, and for specific purposes, to dictate terms 
to rest of the world. This was to be done at various levels.
?
UN: the Baby of the West
?
??????????????????????? At the political level, it was decided to set up an 
organization of countries, that was promptly named the United Nations 
Organization, now? known as the United Nations. Every country of the world would 
be brought under its umbrella. The declared aim was to ensure that the 
catastrophe of the two World Wars would not be allowed to recur; whenever a 
dispute arose between any of the member countries, the UN would intervene in 
order to prevent them from using force against each other; it would leave no 
stone unturned in diluting the hostilities, and bring them at the negotiating 
table. The ostensible purpose was, of course, admirable; and it, undoubtedly, 
played a significant role in the later years in bringing peace in certain 
regions of the world. But the big powers would not allow the United Nations to 
be totally independent, for, if it dispensed Solomon?s justice, it would be 
creating tedious problems for them. How could they tolerate the smaller nations, 
on account of their combined numerical strength, insulting them? It was, 
there?fore, resolved that the nations with big military strength be bestowed 
upon with the power of Veto. They would also become permanent members of the 
most important wing of the UN, the security Council. The countries originally 
endued with the Veto power were the United Stated, Britain, France, and Soviet 
Union. After several years, China, which had earlier not joined the UN, was also 
persuaded to be its member, in return of the acceptance of its demand to be 
given the status of a big power. Thus only 5 of about 180 nations became more 
equal among equals.The matters continue to be raised at the UN platforms. But a 
resolution can be adopted only if it is acceptable to the big five. The same 
people who boast themselves to be the champions of democracy, have found ways to 
flaunt democratic norms themselves. With the right to Veto having been usurped 
by 'the big five', nothing can happen in the UN, unless it has their sanction. 
By creating the UN, they have succeeded in distributing the world among 
themselves-- not through military interventions, but courtesy the extraordinary 
powers showered upon them by the assembly of nations. Yet, whenever the 
situation warrants, each of 'the big five' does not fail in exercising the 
?military option?. If the issue is, at all, raised in the UN, any resolution 
against the interests of that country is promptly vetoed. Little wonder then 
that the veto power has been used umpteen times; every time it has been used, it 
has invariably given to a small nation a crushing blow. What a travesty of 
justice that it is the will of the big powers and not the truth that 
prevails.Yet each of 'the big five' claims itself to be the only champion of 
justice and peace. The lions are periodically hungry that makes them go on the 
hunting spree; as soon as their stomachs are full, they become peace-loving 
ani?mals.
??????????????????????? Till the 1980s, the intense rivalry, remembered by 
history as 'cold war' between the USand the USSR, had both positive and negative 
impact. The positive contribution of the cold war was that it estab?lished a 
sort of equilibrium in the world. The American and Soviet allies were beware of 
one another, and were often reluctant to make expansionist moves. The world had 
become divided into two blocks. If a country belonging to one block invaded a 
country belonging to the other block, or tried to unduly influence it, the other 
side would immediately spring into action. Resolutions of condemnation, breaking 
of diplomatic relations and threats, overt and covert, of different kinds would 
follow. The matter would be repeatedly raised on the various fora of the United 
Nations, though, more often than not, it would end in a veto. Yet by raising the 
issue at different platforms, and also by intensive propagan?da through the 
media, each block would try to paint the other in the darkest possible colours. 
This would, some times, help as it happened in Afghanistan, from where Russiahad 
to withdraw its troops ultimately. The negative impact of 'the cold war? ' was 
that the world virtually got divided into two blocks. On paper, there were many 
nonaligned nations, but in practice, each one of them too supported, and was 
supported by, the USor the USSR. The two superpowers had made rest of the world 
a playground for their games; all other countries were being used as mere pawns. 
They would often back the two nations engaged in hostilities only to increase 
their own influence or to increase sales of their arms.
?
From two to lone Superpower
?
??????????????????????? The economic crisis in the Soviet Union, which made 
communism unpopu?lar among the masses, compelled Gorbachev to give up hostility 
towards the US; he had no option left for him except to extend a hand of 
friendship towards its biggest foe. The people in the USSRhad started feeling 
asphyxiated under the communist umbrella that provided little freedom to them. 
There were no incentives for working. The revolutionary fervour had faded long 
ago. The lead?ership was no more in a position to enthuse them into action 
.Gor?bachev had realised that the controlled economy was no longer expected to 
deliver the goods. He knew that the US, and its allies, fully understood his 
predicaments, and would not hesitate to fish in troubled waters. He therefore 
gave a call to end the cold war. His call was promptly heeded. The US, and its 
allies, behaved as if they had forgotten all the past acrimonies, and were now 
interested only in restructuring the USSReconomy. Little however did Gorbachev 
realise that, even in friendship, the US, and its allies, would not mind using 
every possible opportunity for their own ulterior motives. For the Western block 
it was a moment of jubilation; for the time had come when the enemy number one 
of their economic ideology, communism, could be buried, if possible, forever. 
Initially, they heaped encomia on Gorbachev for having initiated glasnot and 
perestroica. But soon they realized that his policy was not to abandon 
communism, but to bring certain reforms, and once the Soviet economy 
stabi?lised, he or those who follow him, could rejuvenate their cam?paign 
against capitalism and against the Western expansionist designs with renewed 
vigour. The West therefore soon became disinterested in the continuation of 
Gorbachev as leader of the Soviet Union. They were in quest of a better 
alternative; and in Yeltsin, they found an ideal replacement. Boris Yeltsin?s 
faith in the Western economic system was quite well established. The USand its 
allies knew that with the arrival of Yeltsin on the scene communism would easily 
be sentenced to death.And as soon as Yeltsin assumed power, he was quick to 
strike at every re?maining sign of the communist past.
??????????????????????? The UShad thus achieved the most crucial victory. The 
erstwhile Soviet Unionwas no more a single country; it had disintegrated into 
several, small, autonomous states. Russiathat had, for about half a century, 
been the biggest custodian of socialism, had taken a U turn towards capitalism. 
There was little opposition left for the expansion of Western economic 
fundamentalism. China, despite preserving its socialistic credentials, had 
already started ?opening? its market. The rise of ?Islamic fundamental?ist? 
forces in the West Asia was a cause of concern;? but still it was within 
manageable proportions; they were not in strong enough position to challenge the 
hegemony of US. The combined assault by the USand its thirty allies, on Iraqhad 
sounded a clear warning that the USwould tolerate no ?nonsense? activities. 

?
Americanization in the garb of Globalization
?
Thus the time was now ripe for the globalization of the world. The USand its 
allies had now their eyes on the markets in all the countries of the world. The 
?fruits? of globalization--read Americanization--were now the talking-point at 
all the international forums, even before they were visible anywhere. Free 
market economy became the order of the day. The technological advancement had 
now brought the satellite TV into every home, even in the underdeveloped 
coun?tries. And through those TV channels commenced the most devastat?ing attack 
on the socioeconomic system and culture of the coun?tries that had, till now, 
been making conscious efforts to pre?serve their own roots. But anything that is 
not consistent with the demands of market would not be permitted to persist. The 
invasion of the ?obscurantist? cultures and forces still continues; it is facing 
hardly any resistance worth mentioning, and one territory after the other is 
being ransacked by the invaders.
??????????????????????? The UN is not the only organisation at the international 
level that has been used as an instrument by the West, led by the US, for 
colonizing the whole world. An international body was set up in almost every 
field; and invariably these bodies understood and propagated only those 
ideologies that suited the Western economic interests. International Monetary 
Fund and World Bank have always been ?guiding? the ?underdeveloped? nations to 
achieve high rate of ?development?. And, in the guise of guidance and by 
providing monetary assistance, that is always for those projects which are 
expected, in the long term, to help the economic fundamentalists, these 
organizations have been blackmailing those countries to toe their policies. The 
third world countries have been success?fully lured into a debt trap; once a 
country falls in the trap, it has no option but to follow their dictate. GATT 
and other such agreements and treaties have ensured that whatever little the 
West transfers to the developing nations, would have to return huge profits for 
it. The globalization has guaranteed that all the business activities occurring 
anywhere in the world, would garner a substantial share for the Western 
industrialists. By continuously popularising the new technologies as 
indispensable for modernization and development, they have made sure that the 
goods continue to flow from the developed to the developing nations, and the 
money keeps transferring from the developing nations to the developed. The 
scientific organisations like the WHO are being misused to make the world 
believe that whatever is designed by the Western experts is the best possible 
option. The Amnesty and other human rights organisations are busy in convincing 
the world that only the West cares for the genuine rights of men, women and 
children. The World Population Fund, the UNESCO and the WHO--all are hell bent 
on de?stroying the social and family values.The N.G.Os are being funded to speak 
the language they want them to speak. Thus every possible effort is being made 
to present the West, particularly Ameri?ca, as the role model for the rest of 
the world. Almost all the world organisations are dominated by the Western 
countries and these are being used by them to adopt such policies, programmes 
and plans as give them the biggest possible share in the booty.
?
9/11 comes
??????????????????????? The colonisation, or neo-colonisation of the globe was 
com?plete. And for this neo-colonisation, the West did not have to use any 
military equipment nor had to sacrifice the lives of its citi?zens. At the turn 
of the century, Americahad started believing that it was indeed the Tiger that 
could roar wherever it wanted to. But the turn of the Century had in store an 
event that would wound the tiger; the tiger would then jump here and there and 
everywhere to pounce anyone who it suspected of having wounded it. ?
