</div>
<p>J. P. Morgan</p>
<div></div>
<p>The Four Horsemen of Banking (Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo) own the Four Horsemen of Oil (Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch/Shell, BP and Chevron Texaco); in tandem with Deutsche Bank, BNP, Barclays and other European old money behemoths. But their monopoly over the global economy does not end at the edge of the oil patch.</p>
<p>According to company 10K filings to the SEC, the Four Horsemen of Banking are among the top ten stock holders of virtually every Fortune 500 corporation.[1]</p>
<p>So who then are the stockholders in these money center banks?</p>
<p>This information is guarded much more closely. My queries to bank regulatory agencies regarding stock ownership in the top 25 US bank holding companies were given Freedom of Information Act status, before being denied on “national security” grounds. This is rather ironic, since many of the bank’s stockholders reside in Europe.</p>
<p>One important repository for the wealth of the global oligarchy that owns these bank holding companies is US Trust Corporation &#8211; founded in 1853 and now owned by Bank of America. A recent US Trust Corporate Director and Honorary Trustee was Walter Rothschild. Other directors included Daniel Davison of JP Morgan Chase, Richard Tucker of Exxon Mobil, Daniel Roberts of Citigroup and Marshall Schwartz of Morgan Stanley. [2]</p>
<p>J. W. McCallister, an oil industry insider with House of Saud connections, wrote in The Grim Reaper that information he acquired from Saudi bankers cited 80% ownership of the New York Federal Reserve Bank- by far the most powerful Fed branch- by just eight families, four of which reside in the US. They are the Goldman Sachs, Rockefellers, Lehmans and Kuhn Loebs of New York; the Rothschilds of Paris and London; the Warburgs of Hamburg; the Lazards of Paris; and the Israel Moses Seifs of Rome.</p>
<p>CPA Thomas D. Schauf corroborates McCallister’s claims, adding that ten banks control all twelve Federal Reserve Bank branches. He names N.M. Rothschild of London, Rothschild Bank of Berlin, Warburg Bank of Hamburg, Warburg Bank of Amsterdam, Lehman Brothers of New York, Lazard Brothers of Paris, Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York, Israel Moses Seif Bank of Italy, Goldman Sachs of New York and JP Morgan Chase Bank of New York. Schauf lists William Rockefeller, Paul Warburg, Jacob Schiff and James Stillman as individuals who own large shares of the Fed. [3] The Schiffs are insiders at Kuhn Loeb. The Stillmans are Citigroup insiders, who married into the Rockefeller clan at the turn of the century.</p>
<p>Eustace Mullins came to the same conclusions in his book The Secrets of the Federal Reserve, in which he displays charts connecting the Fed and its member banks to the families of Rothschild, Warburg, Rockefeller and the others. [4]</p>
<p>The control that these banking families exert over the global economy cannot be overstated and is quite intentionally shrouded in secrecy. Their corporate media arm is quick to discredit any information exposing this private central banking cartel as “conspiracy theory”. Yet the facts remain.</p>
<p>The House of Morgan</p>
<p>The Federal Reserve Bank was born in 1913, the same year US banking scion J. Pierpont Morgan died and the Rockefeller Foundation was formed. The House of Morgan presided over American finance from the corner of Wall Street and Broad, acting as quasi-US central bank since 1838, when George Peabody founded it in London.</p>
<p>Peabody was a business associate of the Rothschilds. In 1952 Fed researcher Eustace Mullins put forth the supposition that the Morgans were nothing more than Rothschild agents. Mullins wrote that the Rothschilds, “…preferred to operate anonymously in the US behind the facade of J.P. Morgan &amp; Company”. [5]</p>
<p>Author Gabriel Kolko stated, “Morgan’s activities in 1895-1896 in selling US gold bonds in Europe were based on an alliance with the House of Rothschild.” [6]</p>
<p>The Morgan financial octopus wrapped its tentacles quickly around the globe. Morgan Grenfell operated in London. Morgan et Ce ruled Paris. The Rothschild&#8217;s Lambert cousins set up Drexel &amp; Company in Philadelphia.</p>
<p>The House of Morgan catered to the Astors, DuPonts, Guggenheims, Vanderbilts and Rockefellers. It financed the launch of AT&amp;T, General Motors, General Electric and DuPont. Like the London-based Rothschild and Barings banks, Morgan became part of the power structure in many countries.</p>
<p>By 1890 the House of Morgan was lending to Egypt’s central bank, financing Russian railroads, floating Brazilian provincial government bonds and funding Argentine public works projects. A recession in 1893 enhanced Morgan’s power. That year Morgan saved the US government from a bank panic, forming a syndicate to prop up government reserves with a shipment of $62 million worth of Rothschild gold. [7]</p>
<p>Morgan was the driving force behind Western expansion in the US, financing and controlling West-bound railroads through voting trusts. In 1879 Cornelius Vanderbilt’s Morgan-financed New York Central Railroad gave preferential shipping rates to John D. Rockefeller’s budding Standard Oil monopoly, cementing the Rockefeller/Morgan relationship.</p>
<p>The House of Morgan now fell under Rothschild and Rockefeller family control. A New York Herald headline read, “Railroad Kings Form Gigantic Trust”. J. Pierpont Morgan, who once stated, “Competition is a sin”, now opined gleefully, “Think of it. All competing railroad traffic west of St. Louis placed in the control of about thirty men.”[8]</p>
<p>Morgan and Edward Harriman’s banker Kuhn Loeb held a monopoly over the railroads, while banking dynasties Lehman, Goldman Sachs and Lazard joined the Rockefellers in controlling the US industrial base. [9]</p>
<p>In 1903 Banker’s Trust was set up by the Eight Families. Benjamin Strong of Banker’s Trust was the first Governor of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. The 1913 creation of the Fed fused the power of the Eight Families to the military and diplomatic might of the US government. If their overseas loans went unpaid, the oligarchs could now deploy US Marines to collect the debts. Morgan, Chase and Citibank formed an international lending syndicate.</p>
<p>The House of Morgan was cozy with the British House of Windsor and the Italian House of Savoy. The Kuhn Loebs, Warburgs, Lehmans, Lazards, Israel Moses Seifs and Goldman Sachs also had close ties to European royalty. By 1895 Morgan controlled the flow of gold in and out of the US. The first American wave of mergers was in its infancy and was being promoted by the bankers. In 1897 there were sixty-nine industrial mergers. By 1899 there were twelve-hundred. In 1904 John Moody &#8211; founder of Moody’s Investor Services &#8211; said it was impossible to talk of Rockefeller and Morgan interests as separate. [10]</p>
<p>Public distrust of the combine spread. Many considered them traitors working for European old money. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil, Andrew Carnegie’s US Steel and Edward Harriman’s railroads were all financed by banker Jacob Schiff at Kuhn Loeb, who worked closely with the European Rothschilds.</p>
<p>Several Western states banned the bankers. Populist preacher William Jennings Bryan was thrice the Democratic nominee for President from 1896 -1908. The central theme of his anti-imperialist campaign was that America was falling into a trap of “financial servitude to British capital”. Teddy Roosevelt defeated Bryan in 1908, but was forced by this spreading populist wildfire to enact the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. He then went after the Standard Oil Trust.</p>
<p>In 1912 the Pujo hearings were held, addressing concentration of power on Wall Street. That same year Mrs. Edward Harriman sold her substantial shares in New York’s Guaranty Trust Bank to J.P. Morgan, creating Morgan Guaranty Trust. Judge Louis Brandeis convinced President Woodrow Wilson to call for an end to interlocking board directorates. In 1914 the Clayton Anti-Trust Act was passed.</p>
<p>Jack Morgan &#8211; J. Pierpont’s son and successor &#8211; responded by calling on Morgan clients Remington and Winchester to increase arms production. He argued that the US needed to enter WWI. Goaded by the Carnegie Foundation and other oligarchy fronts, Wilson accommodated. As Charles Tansill wrote in America Goes to War, “Even before the clash of arms, the French firm of Rothschild Freres cabled to Morgan &amp; Company in New York suggesting the flotation of a loan of $100 million, a substantial part of which was to be left in the US to pay for French purchases of American goods.”</p>
<p>The House of Morgan financed half the US war effort, while receiving commissions for lining up contractors like GE, Du Pont, US Steel, Kennecott and ASARCO. All were Morgan clients. Morgan also financed the British Boer War in South Africa and the Franco-Prussian War. The 1919 Paris Peace Conference was presided over by Morgan, which led both German and Allied reconstruction efforts. [11]</p>
<p>In the 1930’s populism resurfaced in America after Goldman Sachs, Lehman Bank and others profited from the Crash of 1929. [12] House Banking Committee Chairman Louis McFadden (D-NY) said of the Great Depression, “It was no accident. It was a carefully contrived occurrence&#8230;The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so they might emerge as rulers of us all”.</p>
<p>Sen. Gerald Nye (D-ND) chaired a munitions investigation in 1936. Nye concluded that the House of Morgan had plunged the US into WWI to protect loans and create a booming arms industry. Nye later produced a document titled The Next War, which cynically referred to “the old goddess of democracy trick”, through which Japan could be used to lure the US into WWII.</p>
<p>In 1937 Interior Secretary Harold Ickes warned of the influence of “America’s 60 Families”. Historian Ferdinand Lundberg later penned a book of the exact same title. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas decried, “Morgan influence&#8230;the most pernicious one in industry and finance today.”</p>
<p>Jack Morgan responded by nudging the US towards WWII. Morgan had close relations with the Iwasaki and Dan families &#8211; Japan’s two wealthiest clans &#8211; who have owned Mitsubishi and Mitsui, respectively, since the companies emerged from 17th Century shogunates. When Japan invaded Manchuria, slaughtering Chinese peasants at Nanking, Morgan downplayed the incident. Morgan also had close relations with Italian fascist Benito Mussolini, while German Nazi Dr. Hjalmer Schacht was a Morgan Bank liaison during WWII. After the war Morgan representatives met with Schacht at the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland. [13]</p>

John D. Rockefeller in 1885</div>

<p>The House of Rockefeller</p>
<p>BIS is the most powerful bank in the world, a global central bank for the Eight Families who control the private central banks of almost all Western and developing nations. The first President of BIS was Rockefeller banker Gates McGarrah- an official at Chase Manhattan and the Federal Reserve. McGarrah was the grandfather of former CIA director Richard Helms. The Rockefellers- like the Morgans- had close ties to London. David Icke writes in Children of the Matrix, that the Rockefellers and Morgans were just “gofers” for the European Rothschilds. [14]</p>
<p>BIS is owned by the Federal Reserve, Bank of England, Bank of Italy, Bank of Canada, Swiss National Bank, Nederlandsche Bank, Bundesbank and Bank of France.</p>
<p>Historian Carroll Quigley wrote in his epic book Tragedy and Hope that BIS was part of a plan, “to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole&#8230;to be controlled in a feudalistic fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert by secret agreements.”</p>
<p>The US government had a historical distrust of BIS, lobbying unsuccessfully for its demise at the 1944 post-WWII Bretton Woods Conference. Instead the Eight Families’ power was exacerbated, with the Bretton Woods creation of the IMF and the World Bank. The US Federal Reserve only took shares in BIS in September 1994. [15]</p>
<p>BIS holds at least 10% of monetary reserves for at least 80 of the world’s central banks, the IMF and other multilateral institutions. It serves as financial agent for international agreements, collects information on the global economy and serves as lender of last resort to prevent global financial collapse.</p>
<p>BIS promotes an agenda of monopoly capitalist fascism. It gave a bridge loan to Hungary in the 1990’s to ensure privatization of that country’s economy. It served as conduit for Eight Families funding of Adolf Hitler- led by the Warburg&#8217;s J. Henry Schroeder and Mendelsohn Bank of Amsterdam. Many researchers assert that BIS is at the nadir of global drug money laundering. [16]</p>
<p>It is no coincidence that BIS is headquartered in Switzerland, favorite hiding place for the wealth of the global aristocracy and headquarters for the P-2 Italian Freemason’s Alpina Lodge and Nazi International. Other institutions which the Eight Families control include the World Economic Forum, the International Monetary Conference and the World Trade Organization.</p>
<p>Bretton Woods was a boon to the Eight Families. The IMF and World Bank were central to this “new world order”. In 1944 the first World Bank bonds were floated by Morgan Stanley and First Boston. The French Lazard family became more involved in House of Morgan interests. Lazard Freres- France’s biggest investment bank- is owned by the Lazard and David-Weill families- old Genoese banking scions represented by Michelle Davive. A recent Chairman and CEO of Citigroup was Sanford Weill.</p>
<p>In 1968 Morgan Guaranty launched Euro-Clear, a Brussels-based bank clearing system for Eurodollar securities. It was the first such automated endeavor. Some took to calling Euro-Clear “The Beast”. Brussels serves as headquarters for the new European Central Bank and for NATO. In 1973 Morgan officials met secretly in Bermuda to illegally resurrect the old House of Morgan, twenty years before Glass Steagal Act was repealed. Morgan and the Rockefellers provided the financial backing for Merrill Lynch, boosting it into the Big 5 of US investment banking. Merrill is now part of Bank of America.</p>
<p>John D. Rockefeller used his oil wealth to acquire Equitable Trust, which had gobbled up several large banks and corporations by the 1920’s. The Great Depression helped consolidate Rockefeller’s power. His Chase Bank merged with Kuhn Loeb’s Manhattan Bank to form Chase Manhattan, cementing a long-time family relationship. The Kuhn-Loeb’s had financed &#8211; along with Rothschilds &#8211; Rockefeller&#8217;s quest to become king of the oil patch. National City Bank of Cleveland provided John D. with the money needed to embark upon his monopolization of the US oil industry. The bank was identified in Congressional hearings as being one of three Rothschild-owned banks in the US during the 1870’s, when Rockefeller first incorporated as Standard Oil of Ohio. [17]</p>
<p>One Rockefeller Standard Oil partner was Edward Harkness, whose family came to control Chemical Bank. Another was James Stillman, whose family controlled Manufacturers Hanover Trust. Both banks have merged under the JP Morgan Chase umbrella. Two of James Stillman’s daughters married two of William Rockefeller’s sons. The two families control a big chunk of Citigroup as well. [18]</p>
<p>In the insurance business, the Rockefellers control Metropolitan Life, Equitable Life, Prudential and New York Life. Rockefeller banks control 25% of all assets of the 50 largest US commercial banks and 30% of all assets of the 50 largest insurance companies. [19] Insurance companies- the first in the US was launched by Freemasons through their Woodman’s of America- play a key role in the Bermuda drug money shuffle.</p>
<p>Companies under Rockefeller control include Exxon Mobil, Chevron Texaco, BP Amoco, Marathon Oil, Freeport McMoran, Quaker Oats, ASARCO, United, Delta, Northwest, ITT, International Harvester, Xerox, Boeing, Westinghouse, Hewlett-Packard, Honeywell, International Paper, Pfizer, Motorola, Monsanto, Union Carbide and General Foods.</p>
<p>The Rockefeller Foundation has close financial ties to both Ford and Carnegie Foundations. Other family philanthropic endeavors include Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, General Education Board, Rockefeller University and the University of Chicago- which churns out a steady stream of far right economists as apologists for international capital, including Milton Friedman.</p>
<p>The family owns 30 Rockefeller Plaza, where the national Christmas tree is lighted every year, and Rockefeller Center. David Rockefeller was instrumental in the construction of the World Trade Center towers. The main Rockefeller family home is a hulking complex in upstate New York known as Pocantico Hills. They also own a 32-room 5th Avenue duplex in Manhattan, a mansion in Washington, DC, Monte Sacro Ranch in Venezuela, coffee plantations in Ecuador, several farms in Brazil, an estate at Seal Harbor, Maine and resorts in the Caribbean, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. [20]</p>
<p>The Dulles and Rockefeller families are cousins. Allen Dulles created the CIA, assisted the Nazis, covered up the Kennedy hit from his Warren Commission perch and struck a deal with the Muslim Brotherhood to create mind-controlled assassins. [21]</p>
<p>Brother John Foster Dulles presided over the phony Goldman Sachs trusts before the 1929 stock market crash and helped his brother overthrow governments in Iran and Guatemala. Both were Skull &amp; Bones, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) insiders and 33rd Degree Masons. [22]</p>
<p>The Rockefellers were instrumental in forming the depopulation-oriented Club of Rome at their family estate in Bellagio, Italy. Their Pocantico Hills estate gave birth to the Trilateral Commission. The family is a major funder of the eugenics movement which spawned Hitler, human cloning and the current DNA obsession in US scientific circles.</p>
<p>John Rockefeller Jr. headed the Population Council until his death. [23] His namesake son is a Senator from West Virginia. Brother Winthrop Rockefeller was Lieutenant Governor of Arkansas and remains the most powerful man in that state. In an October 1975 interview with Playboy magazine, Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller- who was also Governor of New York- articulated his family&#8217;s patronizing worldview, “I am a great believer in planning- economic, social, political, military, total world planning.”</p>
<p>But of all the Rockefeller brothers, it is Trilateral Commission (TC) founder and Chase Manhattan Chairman David who has spearheaded the family’s fascist agenda on a global scale. He defended the Shah of Iran, the South African apartheid regime and the Chilean Pinochet junta. He was the biggest financier of the CFR, the TC and (during the Vietnam War) the Committee for an Effective and Durable Peace in Asia- a contract bonanza for those who made their living off the conflict.</p>

Reposted from June 8, 2011<br />

<img src="http://www.globalresearch.ca/coverStoryPictures2/25179.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="459" height="387" /></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">In  1789 Alexander Hamilton became the first Treasury Secretary of the  United States.  Hamilton was one of many Founding Fathers who were  Freemasons.  He had close relations with the Rothschild  family which owns the Bank of England and leads the European Freemason  movement.  George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, Ethan Allen,  Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, John Brown and Roger Sherman were all  Masons.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><img src="http://www.globalresearch.ca/articlePictures/hamilton.gif" border="0" alt="" width="262" height="356" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Andrew Hamilton</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span>Roger Livingston helped Sherman and Franklin write the Declaration of Independence.  He  gave George Washington his oaths of office while he was Grand Master of  the New York Grand Lodge of Freemasons.  Washington himself was Grand  Master of the Virginia Lodge.  Of the General Officers in the  Revolutionary Army, thirty-three were Masons.  This was highly symbolic  since 33rd Degree Masons become <em>Illuminated</em>. [1]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Populist  founding fathers led by John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and  Thomas Paine- none of whom were Masons- wanted to completely severe  ties with the British Crown, but were overruled by the Masonic faction  led by Washington, Hamilton and Grand Master of the St. Andrews Lodge in  Boston General Joseph Warren, who wanted to “defy Parliament but remain  loyal to the Crown”.  St. Andrews Lodge was the hub of New World Masonry and began issuing Knights Templar Degrees in 1769. [2] </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><img src="http://www.globalresearch.ca/articlePictures/warren1.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="265" height="313" /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">General Joseph Warren<br />
</span><br />
All  US Masonic lodges are to this day warranted by the British Crown, whom  they serve as a global intelligence and counterrevolutionary subversion  network.  Their most recent initiative is the Masonic Child Identification Program (CHIP).  According to Wikipedia, the  CHIP programs allow parents the opportunity to create a kit of  identifying materials for their child, free of charge. The kit contains a  fingerprint card, a physical description, a video, computer disk, or DVD of the child, a dental imprint, and a DNA sample.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The  First Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia in 1774 under the  Presidency of Peyton Randolph, who succeeded Washington as Grand Master  of the Virginia Lodge.  The Second Continental Congress convened in 1775  under the Presidency of Freemason John Hancock.  Peyton’s brother  William succeeded him as Virginia Lodge Grand Master and became the  leading proponent of centralization and federalism at the First  Constitutional Convention in 1787.  The federalism at the heart of the  US Constitution is identical to the federalism laid out in the  Freemason’s <em>Anderson</em><em>’s Constitutions of 1723</em>.  William Randolph became the nation’s first Attorney General and Secretary of State under George Washington.  His  family returned to England loyal to the Crown.  John Marshall, the  nation’s first Supreme Court Justice, was also a Mason. [3] </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">When  Benjamin Franklin journeyed to France to seek financial help for  American revolutionaries, his meetings took place at Rothschild banks.   He brokered arms sales <em>via</em> German Mason Baron von Steuben.  His  Committees of Correspondence operated through Freemason channels and  paralleled a British spy network.  In 1776 Franklin became <em>de facto</em> Ambassador to France.  In 1779 he became Grand Master of the French <em>Neuf Soeurs</em> (Nine Sisters) Lodge, to which John Paul Jones and Voltaire belonged.   Franklin was also a member of the more secretive Royal Lodge of  Commanders of the Temple West of Carcasonne, whose members included  Frederick Prince of Whales.  While Franklin preached  temperance in the US, he cavorted wildly with his Lodge brothers in  Europe.  Franklin served as Postmaster General from the 1750’s to 1775 &#8211;  a role traditionally relegated to British spies. [4]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">With  Rothschild financing Alexander Hamilton founded two New York banks,  including Bank of New York. [5]  He died in a gun battle with Aaron  Burr, who founded Bank of Manhattan with Kuhn Loeb financing.  Hamilton  exemplified the contempt which the Eight Families hold towards common  people, once stating, “All communities divide themselves into the few  and the many.  The first are the rich and the well born, the others the  mass of the people&#8230;The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom  judge and determine right.  Give therefore to the first class a  distinct, permanent share of government.  They will check the  unsteadiness of the second.”[6]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Hamilton  was only the first in a series of Eight Families cronies to hold the  key position of Treasury Secretary.  In recent times Kennedy Treasury  Secretary Douglas Dillon came from Dillon Read (now part of UBS  Warburg).  Nixon Treasury Secretaries David Kennedy and  William Simon came from Continental Illinois Bank (now part of Bank of  America) and Salomon Brothers (now part of Citigroup), respectively.  Carter  Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal came from Goldman Sachs, Reagan  Treasury Secretary Donald Regan came from Merrill Lynch (now part of  Bank of America), Bush Sr. Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady came from  Dillon Read (UBS Warburg) and both Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert  Rubin and Bush Jr. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson came from Goldman  Sachs.  Obama Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner worked at Kissinger Associates and the New York Fed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Thomas  Jefferson argued that the United States needed a publicly-owned central  bank so that European monarchs and aristocrats could not use the  printing of money to control the affairs of the new nation.  Jefferson  extolled, “A country which expects to remain ignorant and free&#8230;expects  that which has never been and that which will never be.  There is  scarcely a King in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the  example of Pharaoh – get first all the people’s money, then all their  lands and then make them and their children servants forever&#8230;banking  establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.  Already they  have raised up a money aristocracy.”  Jefferson watched as  the Euro-banking conspiracy to control the United States unfolded,  weighing in, “Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental  opinion of the day, but a series of oppressions begun at a distinguished  period, unalterable through every change of ministers, too plainly  prove a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery”. [7[</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">But  the Rothschild-sponsored Hamilton’s arguments for a private US central  bank carried the day.  In 1791 the Bank of the United States (BUS) was  founded, with the Rothschilds as main owners.  The bank’s charter was to  run out in 1811.  Public opinion ran in favor of revoking the charter  and replacing it with a Jeffersonian public central bank.  The debate  was postponed as the nation was plunged by the Euro-bankers into the War  of 1812.  Amidst a climate of fear and economic hardship, Hamilton’s  bank got its charter renewed in 1816.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Old </strong><strong>Hickory</strong><strong>, Honest Abe &amp; Camelot</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">In  1828 Andrew Jackson took a run at the US Presidency.  Throughout his  campaign he railed against the international bankers who controlled the  BUS.  Jackson ranted, “You are a den of vipers.  I intend to expose you  and by Eternal God I will rout you out.  If the people understood the  rank injustices of our money and banking system there would be a  revolution before morning.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Jackson  won the election and revoked the bank’s charter stating, “The Act seems  to be predicated on an erroneous idea that the present shareholders  have a prescriptive right to not only the favor, but the bounty of the  government...for their benefit does this Act exclude the whole American  people from competition in the purchase of this monopoly.  Present  stockholders and those inheriting their rights as successors be  established a privileged order, clothed both with great political power  and enjoying immense pecuniary advantages from their connection with  government.  Should its influence be concentrated under the operation of  such an Act as this, in the hands of a self-elected directory whose  interests are identified with those of the foreign stockholders, will  there not be cause to tremble for the independence of our country in  war...controlling our currency, receiving our public monies and holding  thousands of our citizens independence, it would be more formidable and  dangerous than the naval and military power of the enemy.  It is to be  regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of  government for selfish purposes...to make the rich richer and more  powerful.  Many of our rich men have not been content with equal  protection and equal benefits, but have besought us to make them richer  by acts of Congress.  I have done my duty to this country.”[8]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Populism prevailed and Jackson was re-elected.  In  1835 he was the target of an assassination attempt.  The gunman was  Richard Lawrence, who confessed that he was, “in touch with the powers  in Europe”. [9] </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Still,  in 1836 Jackson refused to renew the BUS charter.  Under his watch the  US national debt went to zero for the first and last time in our  nation’s history.  This angered the international bankers, whose primary  income is derived from interest payments on debt.  BUS President  Nicholas Biddle cut off funding to the US government in 1842, plunging  the US into a depression.  Biddle was an agent for the Paris-based Jacob  Rothschild. [10]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The Mexican War was simultaneously sprung on Jackson.  A  few years later the Civil War was unleashed, with London bankers  backing the Union and French bankers backing the South. The Lehman  family made a fortune smuggling arms to the south and cotton to the  north.  By 1861 the US was $100 million in debt.  New President Abraham  Lincoln snubbed the Euro-bankers again, issuing Lincoln Greenbacks to  pay Union Army bills. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The Rothschild-controlled <em>Times of London</em> wrote, “If that mischievous policy, which had its origins in the North  American Republic, should become indurated down to a fixture, then that  Government will furnish its own money without cost.  It will pay off its debts and be without debt.  It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce.  It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history of the civilized governments of the world.  The brains and the wealth of all countries will go to North America.  That government must be destroyed, or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe.” [11]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The Euro-banker-written <em>Hazard Circular</em> was exposed and circulated throughout the country by angry populists.   It stated, “The great debt that capitalists will see is made out of the  war and must be used to control the valve of money.  To accomplish this  government bonds must be used as a banking basis.  We are now awaiting  Secretary of Treasury Salmon Chase to make that recommendation.  It will  not allow Greenbacks to circulate as money as we cannot control that.   We control bonds and through them banking issues”.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The  1863 National Banking Act reinstated a private US central bank and  Chase’s war bonds were issued.  Lincoln was re-elected the next year,  vowing to repeal the act after he took his January 1865 oaths of  office.  Before he could act, he was assassinated at the Ford Theatre by  John Wilkes Booth.  Booth had major connections to the international  bankers.  His granddaughter wrote <em>This One Mad Act</em>, which details Booth’s contact with “mysterious Europeans” just before the Lincoln assassination.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Following  the Lincoln hit, Booth was whisked away by members of a secret society  known as Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC).  KGC had close ties to the  French Society of Seasons, which produced Karl Marx.  KGC had fomented  much of the tension that caused the Civil War and President Lincoln had  specifically targeted the group.  Booth was a KGC member and was  connected through Confederate Secretary of State Judah Benjamin to the  House of Rothschild.  Benjamin fled to England after the Civil War. [12]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Nearly  a century after Lincoln was assassinated for issuing Greenbacks,  President John F. Kennedy found himself in the Eight Families’  crosshairs.  Kennedy had announced a crackdown on off-shore tax havens  and proposed increases in tax rates on large oil and mining companies.   He supported eliminating tax loopholes which benefit the super-rich.   His economic policies were publicly attacked by <em>Fortune</em> magazine, the <em>Wall Street Journal</em> and both David and Nelson Rockefeller.  Even Kennedy’s own Treasury  Secretary Douglas Dillon, who came from the UBS Warburg-controlled  Dillon Read investment bank, voiced opposition to the JFK proposals.  [13]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Kennedy’s  fate was sealed in June 1963 when he authorized the issuance of more  than $4 billion in United States Notes by his Treasury Department in an  attempt to circumvent the high interest rate usury of the private  Federal Reserve international banker crowd.  The wife of Lee Harvey  Oswald, who was conveniently gunned down by Jack Ruby before Ruby  himself was shot, told author A. J. Weberman in 1994, “The answer to the  Kennedy assassination is with the Federal Reserve Bank.  Don’t  underestimate that.  It’s wrong to blame it on Angleton and the CIA <em>per se</em> only.  This is only one finger on the same hand.  The people who supply the money are above the CIA”. [14]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Fueled by incoming President Lyndon Johnson’s immediate escalation of the Vietnam War, the US sank further into debt.  Its citizens were terrorized into silence.  If they could kill the President they could kill anyone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The House of Rothschild</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The  Dutch House of Orange founded the Bank of Amsterdam in 1609 as the  world’s first central bank.  Prince William of Orange married into the  English House of Windsor, taking King James II’s daughter Mary as his  bride.  The Orange Order Brotherhood, which recently fomented Northern  Ireland Protestant violence, put William III on the English throne where  he ruled both Holland and Britain.  In 1694 William III teamed up with  the UK aristocracy to launch the private Bank of England.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street- as the Bank of England is known- is surrounded by thirty foot walls.  Three floors beneath it the third largest stock of gold bullion in the world is stored. [15] </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The Rothschilds and their inbred Eight Families partners gradually came to control the Bank of England.  The  daily London gold “fixing” occurred at the N. M. Rothschild Bank until  2004.  As Bank of England Deputy Governor George Blunden put it, “Fear  is what makes the bank’s powers so acceptable.  The bank is able to  exert its influence when people are dependent on us and fear losing  their privileges or when they are frightened.”[16]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Mayer  Amschel Rothschild sold the British government German Hessian  mercenaries to fight against American Revolutionaries, diverting the  proceeds to his brother Nathan in London, where N.M. (Nathan and Mayer)  Rothschild &amp; Sons was established.  Mayer was a serious student of  Cabala and launched his fortune on money embezzled from William IX-  royal administrator of the Hesse-Kassel region and a prominent  Freemason.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Rothschild-controlled Barings bankrolled the Chinese opium and African slave trades.  It  financed the Louisiana Purchase.  When several states defaulted on its  loans, Barings bribed Daniel Webster to make speeches stressing the  virtues of loan repayment.  The states held their ground, so the House  of Rothschild cut off the money spigot in 1842, plunging the US into a  deep depression.  It was often said that the wealth of the Rothschilds  depended on the bankruptcy of nations.  Mayer Amschel Rothschild once  said, “I care not who controls a nation’s political affairs, so long as I  control her currency”.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">War  didn’t hurt the family fortune either.  The House of Rothschild  financed the Prussian War, the Crimean War and the British attempt to  seize the Suez Canal from the French.  Nathan Rothschild made a huge  financial bet on Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, while also funding  the Duke of Wellington’s peninsular campaign <em>against</em> Napoleon.  Both the Mexican War and the Civil War were goldmines for the family.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Nathan Rothschild<br />
</span> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">One  Rothschild family biography mentions a London meeting where an  “International Banking Syndicate” decided to pit the American North  against the South as part of a “divide and conquer” strategy.  German  Chancellor Otto von Bismarck once stated, “The division of the United  States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil  War.  These bankers were afraid that the United States&#8230;would upset  their financial domination over the world.  The voice of the Rothschilds  prevailed.”  Rothschild biographer Derek Wilson says the  family was the official European banker to the US government and strong  supporters of the Bank of the United States. [17] </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Family  biographer Niall Ferguson notes a “substantial and unexplained gap” in  private Rothschild correspondence between 1854-1860.  He  says all copies of outgoing letters written by the London Rothschilds  during this Civil War period “were destroyed at the orders of successive  partners”. [18]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">French  and British troops had, at the height of the Civil War, encircled the  US.  The British sent 11,000 troops to Crown-controlled Canada, which  gave safe harbor to Confederate agents.  France’s Napoleon III installed  Austrian Hapsburg family member Archduke Maximilian as his puppet  emperor in Mexico, where French troops massed on the Texas border.  Only  an 11th-hour deployment of two Russian warship fleets by US ally Czar  Alexander II in 1863 saved the United States from re-colonization. [19] </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">That same year the <em>Chicago Tribune</em> blasted, “Belmont (August Belmont was a US Rothschild agent and had a  Triple Crown horse race named in his honor) and the Rothschilds&#8230;who  have been buying up Confederate war bonds.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Salmon  Rothschild said of a deceased President Lincoln, “He rejects all forms  of compromise.  He has the appearance of a peasant and can only tell  barroom stories.”  Baron Jacob Rothschild was equally flattering towards  the US citizenry.  He once commented to US Minister to  Belgium Henry Sanford on the over half a million Americans who died  during the Civil War, “When your patient is desperately sick, you try  desperate measures, even to bloodletting.”  Salmon and Jacob were merely  carrying forth a family tradition.  A few generations earlier Mayer  Amschel Rothschild bragged of his investment strategy, “When the streets  of Paris are running in blood, I buy”. [20]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Mayer  Rothschild’s sons were known as the Frankfurt Five.  The eldest –  Amschel &#8211; ran the family&#8217;s Frankfurt bank with his father, while Nathan  ran London operations.  Youngest son Jacob set up shop in Paris, while  Salomon ran the Vienna branch and Karl was off to Naples.  Author  Frederick Morton estimates that by 1850 the Rothschilds were worth over  $10 billion. [21]  Some researchers believe that their fortune today exceeds $100 trillion.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The  Warburgs, Kuhn Loebs, Goldman Sachs, Schiffs and Rothschilds have  intermarried into one big happy banking family.  The Warburg family-  which controls Deutsche Bank and BNP<em>-</em> tied up with  the Rothschilds in 1814 in Hamburg, while Kuhn Loeb powerhouse Jacob  Schiff shared quarters with Rothschilds in 1785.  Schiff immigrated to  America in 1865.  He joined forces with Abraham Kuhn and  married Solomon Loeb’s daughter.  Loeb and Kuhn married each others  sisters and the Kuhn Loeb dynasty was consummated.  Felix Warburg  married Jacob Schiff’s daughter.  Two Goldman daughters  married two sons of the Sachs family, creating Goldman Sachs.  In 1806  Nathan Rothschild married the oldest daughter of Levi Barent Cohen, a  leading financier in London. [22]  Thus, Merrill Lynch super-bull Abby  Joseph Cohen and Clinton Secretary of Defense William Cohen are likely  descended from Rothschilds.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Today  the Rothschild’s control a far-flung financial empire, which includes  majority stakes in most world central banks.  The Edmond de Rothschild  clan owns the <em>Banque Privee SA</em> in Lugano, Switzerland and the Rothschild Bank AG of Zurich.  The family of Jacob Lord Rothschild owns the powerful <em>Rothschild Italia</em> in Milan.  They are founding members of the exclusive $10 trillion Club of the Isles &#8211; which  controls corporate giants Royal Dutch Shell, Imperial Chemical  Industries, Lloyds of London, Unilever, Barclays, Lonrho, Rio Tinto  Zinc, BHP  Billiton and Anglo American DeBeers. It dominates the world supply of  petroleum, gold, diamonds, and many other vital raw materials. [23]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The  Club of the Isles provides capital for George Soros’ Quantum Fund NV &#8211;  which made substantial financial gains in 1998-99 following the collapse  of currencies of Thailand, Indonesia and Russia.  Soros was a major  shareholder at George W. Bush’s Harken Energy.  The Club of  Isles is led by the Rothschilds and includes Queen Elizabeth II and  other wealthy European aristocrats and Nobility.[24]</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Perhaps  the largest repository for Rothschild wealth today is Rothschilds  Continuation Holdings AG &#8211; a secretive Swiss-based bank holding  company.  By the late 1990s scions of the Rothschild global empire were  Barons Guy and Elie de Rothschild in France and Lord Jacob and Sir  Evelyn Rothschild in Britain. [25] </span></p>

<p>The forerunners of the Freemasons -the Knights Templar- founded the concept of banking.</p>
<p>According to former British intelligence agent John Coleman’s book, The Committee of 300, the Rothschilds exert political control through the secretive Business Roundtable, which they created in 1909 with the help of Lord Alfred Milner and South African industrialist Cecil Rhodes. The Rhodes Scholarship is granted by Oxford University, while oil industry propagandist Cambridge Energy Research Associates operates out of the Rhodes-supported Cambridge University.</p>
<p>Rhodes founded De Beers and Standard Chartered Bank.  According to Gary Allen’s expose, The Rockefeller Files, Milner financed the Russian Bolsheviks on Rothschild’s behalf, with help from Jacob Schiff and Max Warburg.</p>
<p>In 1917 British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour penned a letter to Zionist Second Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild in which he expressed support for a Jewish homeland on Palestinian-controlled lands in the Middle East. [1]</p>
<p>The Balfour Declaration justified the brutal seizure of Palestinian lands for the post-WWII establishment of Israel.  Israel would serve, not as some high-minded “Jewish homeland”, but as lynchpin in Rothschild/Eight Families control over the world’s oil supply.  Baron Edmond de Rothschild built the first oil pipeline from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean to bring BP Iranian oil to Israel.  He founded Israeli General Bank and Paz Oil. He is considered by many the father of modern Israel. [2]</p>
<p>Roundtable inner Circle of Initiates included Lord Milner, Cecil Rhodes, Arthur Balfour, Albert Grey and Lord Nathan Rothschild.  The Roundtable takes its name from the legendary knight of King Arthur, whose tale of the Holy Grail is paramount to the Illuminati notion of Sangreal or holy blood.</p>
<p>John Coleman writes in The Committee of 300, “Round Tablers armed with immense wealth from gold, diamond and drug monopolies fanned out throughout the world to take control of fiscal and monetary policies and political leadership in all countries where they operated.”</p>
<p>While Cecil Rhodes and the Oppenheimers went to South Africa, the Kuhn Loebs were off to re-colonize America.  Rudyard Kipling was sent to India. The Schiffs and Warburgs manhandled Russia. The Rothschilds, Lazards and Israel Moses Seifs pushed into the Middle East.  In Princeton, New Jersey the Round Table founded the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) as partner to its All Souls College at Oxford.  IAS was funded by the Rockefeller’s General Education Board. IAS members Robert Oppenheimer, Neils Bohr and Albert Einstein created the atomic bomb. [3]</p>
<p>In 1919 Rothschild’s Business Roundtable spawned the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA) in London.  The RIIA soon sponsored sister organizations around the globe, including the US Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Asian Institute of Pacific Relations, the Canadian Institute of International Affairs, the Brussels-based Institute des Relations Internationales, the Danish Foreign Policy Society, the Indian Council of World Affairs and the Australian Institute of International Affairs. Other affiliates popped up in France, Turkey, Italy, Yugoslavia and Greece. [4]</p>
<p>The RIIA is a registered charity of the Queen and, according to its annual reports, is funded largely by the Four Horsemen.  Former British Foreign Secretary and Kissinger Associates co-founder Lord Carrington was President of both the RIIA and the Bilderbergers.  The inner circle at RIIA is dominated by Knights of St. John Jerusalem, Knights of Malta, Knights Templar and 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Freemasons.  The Knights of St. John were founded in 1070 and answer directly to the British House of Windsor.  Their leading bloodline is the Villiers dynasty, which the Hong Kong Matheson family married into. The Lytton family also married into the Villiers gang. [5]</p>
<p>Colonel Edward Bulwer-Lytton led the English Rosicrucian secret society, which Shakespeare opaquely referred to as Rosencranz, while the Freemasons took the role of Guildenstern.  Lytton was spiritual father of both the RIIA and Nazi fascism.  In 1871 he penned a novel titled, Vril: The Power of the Coming Race.  Seventy years later the Vril Society received ample mention in Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf.  Lytton’s son became Viceroy to India in 1876 just before opium production spiked in that country.  Lytton’s good friend Rudyard Kipling worked under Lord Beaverbrook as Propaganda Minister, alongside Sir Charles Hambro of the Hambros banking dynasty. [6]</p>
<p>James Bruce, ancestor to Scottish Rite Freemason founder Sir Robert the Bruce, was the 8th Earl of Elgin. He supervised the Caribbean slave trade as Jamaican Governor General from 1842-1846.  He was Britain’s Ambassador to China during the Second Opium War.  His brother Frederick was Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong during both Opium Wars.  Both were prominent Freemasons.  British Lord Palmerston, who ran the Opium Wars, was a blood relative of the Bruce monarchy, as was his Foreign Secretary John Russell, grandfather of Bertrand Russell. [7]</p>
<p>Children of the Roundtable elite are members of a Dionysian cult known as Children of the Sun.  Initiates include Aldous Huxley, T. S. Eliot, D. H. Lawrence and H. G. Wells.  Wells headed British intelligence during WWI. His books speak of a “one-world brain” and “a police of the mind”.  William Butler Yeats, another Sun member, was a pal of Aleister Crowley.  The two formed an Isis Cult based on a Madam Blavatsky manuscript, which called on the British aristocracy to organize itself into an Isis Aryan priesthood. Most prominent writers of English literature came from the ranks of the Roundtable. All promoted Empire expansion, however subtly.  Blavatsky’s Theosophical Society and Bulwer-Lytton’s Rosicrucians joined forces to form the Thule Society out of which the Nazis emerged. [8]</p>
<p>Aleister Crowley formed the British parallel to the Thule Society, the Isis-Urania Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.  He tutored LSD guru Aldus Huxley, who arrived in the US in 1952, the same year the CIA launched its MK-ULTRA mind control program with help from the Warburg-owned Swiss Sandoz Laboratories and Rockefeller cousin Allen Dulles- OSS Station Chief in Berne.  Dulles received information from the Muslim Brotherhood House of Saudi regarding the creation of mind-controlled Assassins.  Dulles’ assistant was James Warburg. [9]</p>
<p>The Atlantic Union (AU) was an RIIA affiliate founded by Cecil Rhodes- who dreamed of returning the US to the British Crown.  In 1939 AU set up its first offices in America in space donated by Nelson Rockefeller at 10 E 40th St in New York City.  Every year from 1949-1976 an AU resolution was floored in Congress calling for a repeal of the Declaration of Independence and a “new world order”. Another RIIA affiliate was United World Federalists (UWF)- founded by Norman Cousins and Dulles assistant James P. Warburg.  UWF’s motto was “One world or none”.  Its first president Cord Meyer stepped down to take a key position in Allen Dulles’ CIA.  Meyer articulated UWF’s goal, “Once having joined the One-World Federated Government, no nation could secede or revolt…with the atom bomb in its possession the Federal Government would blow that nation off the face of the earth.” [10]</p>
<p>In 1950 James Warburg, whose elders Max and Paul sat on the board of Nazi business combine IG Farben, testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, “We shall have world government whether or not you like it- by conquest or consent.”  The AU and UAF are close to the CFR and the Trilateral Commission (TC)- founded by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski in 1974. [11]</p>
<p>The TC published The Triangle Papers which extended the “special relationship between the US and Western Europe” to include Japan, which was fast becoming creditor to the rest of the world.  Former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker was TC Chairman.  TC/CFR insider Harvard Professor  Samuel Huntington, who most recently has argued for a “Clash of Civilizations” between the West and the Muslim world, wrote in the TC publication Crisis in Democracy, “…a government which lacks authority will have little ability short of cataclysmic crisis to impose on its people the sacrifices which may be necessary.” [12]</p>
<p>The Illuminati</p>
<p>The Illuminati serves as ruling council to all secret societies.  Its roots go back to the Guardians of Light in Atlantis, the Brotherhood of the Snake in Sumeria, the Afghan Roshaniya, the Egyptian Mystery Schools and the Genoese families who bankrolled the Roman Empire.  British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, who “handled” mafia-founder and 33rd Degree Mason Guiseppe Mazzini, alluded to the Illuminati in a speech before the House of Commons in 1856 warning, “There is in Italy a power which we seldom mention. I mean the secret societies.  Europe…is covered with a network of secret societies just as the surfaces of the earth are covered with a network of railroads.”[13]</p>
<p>The Illuminati is to these secret societies what the Bank of International Settlements is to the Eight Families central bankers.  And their constituencies are exactly the same.</p>
<p>The forerunners of the Freemasons -the Knights Templar- founded the concept of banking and created a bond market as a means to control European nobles through war debts.  By the 13th century the Templars had used their looted Crusades gold to buy 9,000 castles throughout Europe and ran an empire stretching from Copenhagen to Damascus.  They founded modern banking techniques and legitimized usury via interest payments.  Templars’ bank branches popped up everywhere, backed by their ill-gotten gold.  They charged up to 60% interest on loans, launched the concept of trust accounts and introduced a credit card system for Holy Land pilgrims.  They acted as tax collectors, though themselves exempted by Roman authorities, and built the great cathedrals of Europe, having also found instructions regarding secret building techniques alongside the gold they pilfered beneath Solomon’s Temple.  The stained glass used in the cathedrals resulted from a secret Gothic technique known by few.  One who had perfected this art was Omar Khayvam, a good friend of Assassin founder Hasan bin Sabah. [14]</p>
<p>The Templars controlled a huge fleet of ships and their own naval fleet based at the French Atlantic Port of La Rochelle.  They were especially cozy with the royals of England.  They purchased the island of Cyprus from Richard the Lion Heart, but were later overrun by the Turks.  On Friday October 13, 1307 King Philip IV of France joined forces with Pope Clement V and began rounding up Templars on charges ranging from necromancy to the use of black magic.  Friday the 13th would from that day forward carry negative connotations. “Sion” is believed to be a transliteration of Zion, itself a transliteration for the ancient Hebrew name Jerusalem.  The Priory of Sion came into public view in July 1956.  A 1981 notice in the French press listed 121 dignitaries as Priory members.  All were bankers, royalty or members of the international political jet set.  Pierre Plantard was listed as Grand Master.  Plantard is a direct descendent, through King Dagobert II, of the Merovingan Kings.  Plantard, who owns property in the Rennes-le-Chateau area of southern France where the Priory of Sion is based, has stated that the order has in its possession lost treasure recovered from beneath Solomon’s Temple and that it will be returned to Israel when the time is right.  He also stated that in the near future monarchy would be restored to France and other nations. The Templars claim to possess secret knowledge that Jesus Christ married Mary Magdalene, fathered children to launch the Merovingan bloodline and was the son of Joseph of Arimathea. [15]</p>
<p>Joseph was the son of King Solomon.  Solomon’s Temple is the model for Masonic Temples, which occur without fail in every town of any size in America.  It was a place of ill repute where fornicating, drunkenness and human sacrifice were the norm.  Accorder to British researcher David Icke, it’s location on Jerusalem’s Mount Moriah may have also been an Anunnaki flight control center. The Annunaki are the reptilian/aliens revealed by the Sumerian clay tablets- the oldest written accounts of humankind known. The Crusader Knights Templar looted their huge store of gold and numerous sacred artifacts from beneath the Temple.  King Solomon was the son of King David- who during his 1015 BC reign massacred thousands of people.</p>
<p>Icke calls King David “a butcher” and asserts that the king wrote a good chunk of the Bible.  His son Solomon killed his own brother to become King.  He advised Egyptian Pharaoh Shiskak I, marrying his daughter.  Solomon studied at Akhenaton’s Egyptian Mystery Schools, where mind control was rampant.  The Grand Lodge of Cairo spawned a network of secret societies including Assassins, Cabalists, Freemasons and the Afghan Roshaniya. Those who pass through to the highest levels become Illuminati.</p>
<p>Icke claims the Canaanite Brotherhood was headed by the god/king Melchizedek, who may have been an Annunaki.  The King focused on a Hebrew understanding of the Ancient Mysteries. The Order of Melchizedek became the secret society associated with the Cabala.  King Solomon developed his vast wisdom studying the Sumerian Tables of Destiny which Abraham had possessed.  Abraham may have also been of Anunnaki origin.</p>
<p>Both he and Melchizedek had been tutored by the Sumerian Brotherhood of the Snake, whose name may have something to do with the Biblical creation story, where Adam and Eve are tempted from a bountiful garden of Eden (a hunting and gathering existence?) into a world of “sin and servitude” by a snake.  When the Bible says that the first couple ate the forbidden fruit, could it mean that Eve was impregnated by the snake – an Annunaki serpent (the Nephilim of the Book of Genesis) – thus damning all Adamus to a life of toil under serpent king bloodline control?</p>
<p>The basis of the Sumerian Tables of Destiny which Abraham possessed became known as Ha Qabala, Hebrew for “light and knowledge”.  Those who understood these cryptic secrets, said to be encoded throughout the Old Testament, are referred to deferentially as Ram.  The phrase is used in Celtic, Buddhist and Hindu spiritual circles as well.  The Knights Templar brought Cabbalistic knowledge to Europe when they returned from their Middle East Crusade adventures. [16]</p>
<p>The Knights created the Prieure de Sion on Mt. Zion near Jerusalem in the 11th century to guard such holy relics as the Shroud of Turin, the Ark of the Covenant and the Hapsburg family’s Spear of Destiny- which was used to kill Jesus Christ.  The Priory’s more important purpose was to guard Templar gold and to preserve the alleged bloodline of Jesus – the royal Sangreal – which they believe is carried forth by the French Bourbon Merovingan family and the related Hapsburg monarchs of Spain and Austria. [17]  The French Lorraine dynasty, which descended from the Merovingans, married into the House of Hapsburg to acquire the throne of Austria.</p>
<p>The Hapsburgs ran the Holy Roman Empire until its dissolution in 1806, through King Charles V and others.  The family traces its roots back to a Swiss estate known as Habichtburg, which was built in 1020.  The Hapsburgs are an integral part of the Priory of Sion. Many researchers believe that Spain’s Hapsburg King Philip will be crowned Sangreal World King in Jerusalem.  The Hapsburgs are related to the Rothschilds through Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa’s second son Archibald II.</p>
<p>The Rothschilds- leaders in Cabala, Freemasonry and the Knights Templar- sit at the apex of the both the Illuminati and the Eight Families banking cartel.  The family accumulated its vast wealth issuing war bonds to Black Nobility for centuries, including the British Windsors, the French Bourbons, the German von Thurn und Taxis, the Italian Savoys and the Austrian and Spanish Hapsburgs. The Eight Families have also intermarried with these royals.</p>
<p>Author David Icke believes the Rothschilds represent the head of the Anunnaki Serpent Kings, stating, “They (Rothschilds) had the crown heads of Europe in debt to them and this included the Black Nobility dynasty, the Hapsburgs, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire for 600 years.  The Rothschilds also control the Bank of England.  If there was a war, the Rothschilds were behind the scenes, creating conflict and funding both sides.”[18]</p>
<p>The Rothschilds and the Warburgs are main stockholders of the German Bundesbank.  Rothschilds control Japan’s biggest banking house Nomura Securities via a tie-up between Edmund Rothschild and Tsunao Okumura.  The Rothschilds are the richest and most powerful family in the world.  They are also inbred.  According to several family biographers, over half of the last generation of Rothschild progeny married within the family, presumably to preserve their Sangreal. [19]</p>
<p>The 1782 Great Seal of the United States is loaded with Illuminati symbolism.  So is the reverse side of the US $1 Federal Reserve Note, which was designed by Freemasons.  The pyramid on the left side represents those in Egypt- possibly space beacon/energy source to the Anunnaki- whose Pharaohs oversaw the building of the pyramids using slave labor.</p>
<p>The pyramid is an important symbol for the Illuminati bankers. They employ Triads, Trilaterals and Trinities to create a society ruled by an elite Sangreal few presiding over the masses- as represented by a pyramid.  The Brotherhood of the Snake worshiped a Trinity of Isis, Osirus and Horus- who may have been Anunnaki offspring.  The Brotherhood spread the concept of Trinity to Christian (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), Hindu (Brahma, Shiva and Krishna) and Buddhist (Buddha, Dharma and Sangha) faiths. [20]</p>
<p>The reptilian eye atop the pyramid depicted on the $1 bill is the all-seeing eye of the Afghan Roshaniya, known alternately as The Order and Order of the Quest- names adopted by Skull &amp; Bones, Germanorden and the JASON Society. [21]  Take a magnifying glass and look at the eye’s pupil. There is an image of an alien inside the pupil. I’m not kidding.</p>
<p>Novus Ordo Seclorum appears beneath the pyramid, while Annuit Coeptis appears above the all-seeing eye.  Annuit Coeptis means “may he smile upon our endeavors (Great Work of Ages)”.  Above the eagle on the right side of the note are the words E Pluribus Unum, Latin for “out of many one”.  The eagle clutches 13 arrows and 13 olive branches, while 13 stars appear above the eagle’s head.  America was founded with 13 colonies.  Templar pirate Jaques deMolay was executed on Friday the 13th.</p>
<p>The numbers 3, 9, 13 and 33 are significant to the secret societies.  33rd-degree Freemasons are said to become Illuminati. According to the late researcher William Cooper, the Bilderberger Group has a powerful Policy Committee of 13 members.  It is one of 3 committees of 13 which answered (until his recent death) to Prince Bernhard- member of the Hapsburg family and leader of the Black Nobility.  The Bilderberg Policy Committee answers to a Rothschild Round Table of 9. [22]</p>

<p>Roland Harriman, Prescott Bush mit Knight Woolley und Robert Lovett (Direktoren von Brown Brothers Harriman, v.l.n.r.) </p>
<p>United World Federalists founder James Warburg’s father was Paul Warburg, who financed Hitler with help from Brown Brothers Harriman partner Prescott Bush. [1]</p>
<p>Colonel Ely Garrison was a close friend of both President Teddy Roosevelt and President Woodrow Wilson.  Garrison wrote in Roosevelt, Wilson and the Federal Reserve, “Paul Warburg was the man who got the Federal Reserve Act together after the Aldrich Plan aroused such nationwide resentment and opposition.  The mastermind of both plans was Baron Alfred Rothschild of London.”</p>
<p>The Aldrich Plan was hatched at a secret 1910 meeting at JP Morgan’s private resort on Jekyl Island, SC between Rockefeller lieutenant Nelson Aldrich and Paul Warburg of the German Warburg banking dynasty.  Aldrich, a New York congressman, later married into the Rockefeller family.  His son Winthrop Aldrich chaired Chase Manhattan Bank.  While the bankers met, Colonel Edward House, another Rockefeller stooge and close confidant of President Woodrow Wilson, was busy convincing Wilson of the importance of a private central bank and the introduction of a national income tax. A member of House’s staff was British MI6 Permindex insider General Julius Klein. [2]</p>
<p>Wilson didn’t need much convincing, since he was beholden to copper magnate Cleveland Dodge, whose namesake Phelps Dodge became one of the biggest mining companies in the world.  Dodge bankrolled Wilson’s political career. Wilson even wrote his inaugural speech on Dodge’s yacht. [3]</p>
<p>Wilson was a classmate of both Dodge and Cyrus McCormick at Princeton.  Both were directors at Rockefeller’s National City Bank (now Citigroup).  Wilson’s main focus was on overcoming public distrust of the bankers, which New York City Mayor John Hylan echoed in 1922 when he argued, “The real menace to our republic is the invisible government which, like a giant octopus, sprawls its slimy length over our city, state and nation.  At the head is a small group of banking houses, generally referred to as the international bankers”. [4]</p>
<p>But the Eight Families prevailed.  In 1913 the Federal Reserve Bank was born, with Paul Warburg its first Governor.  Four years later the US entered World War I, after a secret society known as the Black Hand assassinated Archduke Ferdinand and his Hapsburg wife.  The Archduke’s friend Count Czerin later said, “A year before the war he informed me that the Masons had resolved upon his death.”[5]</p>
<p>That same year, Bolsheviks overthrew the Hohehzollern monarchy in Russia with help from Max Warburg and Jacob Schiff, while the Balfour Declaration leading to the creation of Israel was penned to Zionist Second Lord Rothschild.</p>
<p>In the 1920’s Baron Edmund de Rothschild founded the Palestine Economics Commission, while Kuhn Loeb’s Manhattan offices helped Rothschild form a network to smuggle weapons to Zionist death squads bent on seizing Palestinian lands.  General Julius Klein oversaw the operation and headed the US Army Counterintelligence Corps, which later produced Henry Kissinger.  Klein diverted Marshall Plan aid to Europe to Zionist terror cells in Palestine after WWII, channeling the funds through the Sonneborn Institute, which was controlled by Baltimore chemical magnate Rudolph Sonneborn.  His wife Dorothy Schiff is related to the Warburgs. [6]</p>
<p>The Kuhn Loebs came to Manhattan with the Warburgs. At the same time the Bronfmans came to Canada as part of the Moses Montefiore Jewish Colonization Committee.  The Montefiores have carried out the dirty work of Genoese nobility since the 13th Century.  The di Spadaforas served that function for the Italian House of Savoy, which was bankrolled by the Israel Moses Seif family for which Israel is named.  Lord Harold Sebag Montefiore is current head of the Jerusalem Foundation, the Zionist wing of the Knights of St. John’s Jerusalem.  The Bronfmans (the name means “liquorman” in Yiddish) tied up with Arnold Rothstein, a product of the Rothschild’s dry goods empire, to found organized crime in New York City.  Rothstein was succeeded by Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Robert Vesco and Santos Trafficante.  The Bronfmans are intermarried with the Rothschilds, Loebs and Lamberts. [7]</p>
<p>The year 1917 also saw the 16th Amendment added to the US Constitution, levying a national income tax, though it was ratified by only two of the required 36 states.  The IRS is a private corporation registered in Delaware. [8]  Four years earlier the Rockefeller Foundation was launched, to shield family wealth from the new income tax provisions, while steering public opinion through social engineering.  One of its tentacles was the General Education Board.</p>
<p>In Occasional Letter #1 the Board states, “In our dreams we have limitless resources and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands. The present education conventions fade from their minds and, unhampered by tradition, we will work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk.  We shall try not to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or men of science…of whom we have ample supply.”[9]</p>
<p>Though most Americans think of the Federal Reserve as a government institution, it is privately held by the Eight Families.  The Secret Service is employed, not by the Executive Branch, but by the Federal Reserve. [10]</p>
<p>An exchange between Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and Fed Chairman Paul Volcker at Senate hearings in 1982 is instructive.  Kennedy must have thought of his older brother John when he told Volcker that if he were before the committee as a member of US Treasury things would be much different.  Volcker, puffing on a cigar, responded cavalierly, “That’s probably true. But I believe it was intentionally designed this way”. [11]  Rep. Lee Hamilton (D-IN) put it to Volcker that, “People realize that what that board of yours does has a very profound impact on their pocketbooks, and yet it is a group of people basically inaccessible to them and unaccountable to them.”</p>
<p>President Wilson spoke of, “a power so organized, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breaths when they speak in condemnation of it.” Rep. Charles Lindberg (D-NY) was more blunt, railing against Wilson’s Federal Reserve Act, which had cleverly been dubbed the “People’s Bill”.  Lindberg declared that the Act would, “…establish the most gigantic trust on earth…When the president signs this act, the invisible government by the money power will be legitimized.  The law will create inflation whenever the trusts want inflation.  From now on, depressions will be scientifically created.  The invisible government by the money power, proven to exist by the Money Trust Investigation, will be legalized.  The whole central bank concept was engineered by the very group it was supposed to strip of power”. [12]</p>
<p>The Fed is made up of most every bank in the US, but the New York Federal Reserve Bank controls the Fed by virtue of its enormous capital resources.  The true center of power within the Fed is the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), on which only the NY Fed President holds a permanent voting seat.  The FOMC issues directives on monetary policy which are implemented from the 8th Floor of the NY Fed, a fortress modeled after the Bank of England. [13]</p>
<p>In the fifth sub-basement of the 14-story stone hulk lie 10,300 tons of mostly non-US gold, 1/3 of the world’s gold reserves and by far the largest gold stock in the world. [14]</p>
<p>The world of money is increasingly computerized.  With the introduction by the Eight Families of complicated financial instruments like derivatives, options, puts and futures; the volume of inter-bank transactions took a quantum leap.  To handle this the fed built a superhighway eerily known as CHIPS (Clearing Interbank Payment System), which is based in New York and modeled after Morgan’s Belgium-based Euro-Clear – also known as The Beast.</p>
<p>When the Fed was created five New York banks- Citibank, Chase, Chemical Bank, Manufacturers Hanover and Bankers Trust- held a 43% stake in the New York Fed.  By 1983 these same five banks owned 53% of the NY Fed.  By year 2000, the newly merged Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase and Deutsche Bank combines owned even bigger chunks, as did the European faction of the Eight Families. Collectively they own majority stock in every Fortune 500 corporation and do the bulk of stock and bond trading.  In 1955 the above five banks accounted for 15% of all stock trades.  By 1985 they were involved in 85% of all stock transactions. [15]</p>
<p>Still more powerful are the investment banks which bear the names of many of the Eight Families. In 1982, while Morgan bankers presided over negotiations between Britain and Argentina after the Falklands War, President Reagan pushed through SEC Rule 415, which helped consolidate securities underwriting in the hands of six large investment houses owned by the Eight Families: Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Salomon Brothers, First Boston and Lehman Brothers.  These banks further consolidated their power via the merger mania of 1980s and 1990s.</p>
<p>American Express swallowed up both Lehman Brothers-Kuhn Loeb – which had merged in 1977 – and Shearson Lehman-Rhoades.  The Israel Moses Seif’s Banca de la Svizzera Italiana bought a 7% stake in Lehman Brothers. [16]  Salomon Brothers nabbed Philbro from the South African Oppenheimer family, then bought Smith Barney. All three then became part of Traveler’s Group, headed by Sandy Weill of the David-Weill family, which controls Lazard Freres through senior partner Michel David-Weill.  Citibank then bought Travelers to form Citigroup. S.G. Warburg, of which Oppenheimer’s Chartered Consolidated owns a 9% stake, joined the old money Banque Paribas- which merged into Merrill Lynch in 1984.  Union Bank of Switzerland acquired Paine Webber, while Morgan Stanley ate up Dean Witter and purchased Discover credit card operations from Sears.</p>
<p>Kuhn Loeb-controlled First Boston merged with Credit Suisse, which had already absorbed White-Weld, to become CS First Boston- the major player in the dirty London Eurobond market.  Merrill Lynch – merged into Bank of America in 2008 – is the major player on the US side of this trade.  Swiss Banking Corporation merged with London’s biggest investment house S.G. Warburg to create SBC Warburg, while Warburg became more intertwined with Merrill Lynch through their 1998 Mercury Assets tie up.  The Warburg’s formed another venture with Union Bank of Switzerland, creating powerhouse UBS Warburg.  Deutsche Bank bought Banker’s Trust and Alex Brown to briefly become the world’s largest bank with $882 billion in assets.  With repeal of Glass-Steagal, the line between investment, commercial and private banking disappeared.</p>
<p>This handful of investment banks exerts an enormous amount of control over the global economy.  Their activities include advising Third World debt negotiations, handling mergers and breakups, creating companies to fill a perceived economic void through the launching of initial public stock offerings (IPOs), underwriting all stocks, underwriting all corporate and government bond issuance, and pulling the bandwagon down the road of privatization and globalization of the world economy.</p>
<p>A recent president of the World Bank was James Wolfensohn of Salomon Smith Barney.  Merrill Lynch had $435 billion in assets in 1994, before the merger frenzy had really even gotten under way.  The biggest commercial bank at the time, Citibank, could claim only $249 billion in assets.</p>
<p>In 1991 Merrill Lynch handled 26.8% of all global bank mergers.  Morgan Stanley did 16.8%, Goldman Sachs 16.3%, Lehman Brothers 16.1% and Credit Suisse First Boston 14.5%.  Morgan Stanley did $60 billion in corporate mergers in 1989.  By 2007, reflecting the repeal of Glass-Steagel, the top ten NMA advisers in order were: Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, UBS Warburg, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and Lazard. In the IPO stock underwriting field for 1991 the top four were Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and CS First Boston.  In the arena of global privatization for years 1985-1995, Goldman Sachs led the way doing $13.3 billion worth of deals.  UBS Warburg did $8.2 billion, BNP Paribas $6.8 billion, CS First Boston $4.9 billion and Paribas-owner Merrill Lynch $4.4 billion. [17]</p>
<p>In 2006 BNP Paribas bought the notorious Banca Nacionale de Lavoro (BNL), which led the charge in arming Saddam Hussein. According to Global Finance, it is now the world’s largest bank with nearly $3 trillion in assets.</p>
<p>The leading US debt underwriters for the first nine months of 1995 bore the same familiar names.  Merrill Lynch underwrote $74.2 billion in the US debt markets, or 15.3% of the total.  Lehman Brothers handled $52.5 billion, Morgan Stanley $47.4 billion, Salomon Smith Barney $45.6 billion.  CS First Boston, Chase Manhattan and Goldman Sachs rounded out the top seven.  The top three municipal debt underwriters that year were Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and UBS Paine Webber.  In the euro-market the top four underwriters in 1995 were UBS Warburg, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs. [18]  Deutsche Bank’s Morgan Grenfell branch engineered the corporate takeover binge in Europe.</p>
<p>The dominant players in the oil futures markets at both the New York Mercantile Exchange and the London Petroleum Exchange are Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Goldman Sachs (through its J. Aron &amp; Company subsidiary), Citigroup (through its Philbro unit) and Deutsche Bank (through its Banker’s Trust acquisition).  In 2002 Enron Online was auctioned off by a bankruptcy court to UBS Warburg for $0.  UBS was to share monopoly Enron Online profits with Lehman Brothers after the first two years of the deal. [19] With Lehman’s 2008 demise, its new owner Barclays will get their cut.</p>
<p>Following the Lehman Brothers fiasco and the ensuing financial meltdown of 2008, the Four Horsemen of Banking got even bigger. For pennies on the dollar, JP Morgan Chase was handed Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual. Bank of America commandeered Merrill Lynch and Countrywide. And Wells Fargo seized control over the reeling #5 US bank Wachovia. Barclays got a sweetheart deal for the remains of Lehman Brothers.</p>
<p>Former House Banking Committee Chairman Wright Patman (D-TX), declared of Federal Reserve Eight Families owners, “The United States today has in effect two governments.  We are the duly constituted government.  Then we have an independent, uncontrolled and uncoordinated government in the Federal Reserve System, operating the money powers which are reserved to Congress by the Constitution”. [20]</p>
<p>Since the creation of the Federal Reserve, US debt (mostly owed to the Eight Families) has skyrocketed from $1 billion to nearly $14 trillion today.  This far surpasses the total of all Third World country debt combined, debt which is mostly owed to these same Eight Families, who own most all the world’s central banks.</p>
<p>As Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) pointed out, “International bankers make money by extending credit to governments.  The greater the debt of the political state, the larger the interest returned to lenders.  The national banks of Europe are (also) owned and controlled by private interests.</p>

Reposted from June 26, 2011<br />

<div id="file"><a href="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/Thomas_Jefferson_by_Rembrandt_Peale%2C_1800.jpg"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1e/Thomas_Jefferson_by_Rembrandt_Peale%2C_1800.jpg/503px-Thomas_Jefferson_by_Rembrandt_Peale%2C_1800.jpg" alt="File:Thomas Jefferson by Rembrandt Peale, 1800.jpg" width="503" height="600" /></a><br />
Thomas Jefferson 3rd President of the United States</p>
</div>
<p>Thomas Jefferson opined of the Rothschild-led Eight Families central banking cartel which came to control the United States, “Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day, but a series of oppressions begun at a distinguished period, unalterable through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery”.</p>
<p>Two centuries and a few decades later this same cabal of trillionaire money changers – mysteriously immune from their own calls for “broad sacrifice” – utilizes the debt lever to ring concessions from the people of Ireland, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy and now the United States.</p>
<p>In their never-ending quest to subjugate the planet, the bankers’ IMF enforcer – chronic harasser of Third World governments – has turned its sites on the developed world. To further advance their dizzying concentration of economic power, the whining banksters take a giant wrecking ball to the global middle class as they prepare to eat their young.</p>
<p>No one can argue that the US deficit is not a problem. Much of it accrues paying interest on the $14 trillion debt. Stooped-over Congressional cartel shills with names like Cantor and Boehner argue for slashing entire government departments to satiate the bloodthirsty bond-holders. Liberals argue for higher taxes on the rich and massive Pentagon cuts.</p>
<p>I agree with these latter proposals. The super-rich paid 90% under Eisenhower and 72% under Nixon. Both were Republicans. They now pay 33%. Most corporations and many elites utilize offshore tax havens and pay nothing.</p>
<p>The argument for progressive taxation is that those who benefit more from government should pay more. Cartel apologists propagate the fiction that the poor soak up middle-class tax dollars, sowing division between the poor and middle class. Meanwhile, the Eight Families financial octopus feeds mightily at the public trough be it the SEC (rich investors), the FCC (Gulfstream jet fliers), the USDA (the richest farmers get the biggest checks), Medicaid (insurance fraud, Big Pharma gouging) or the Pentagon (Lockheed Martin, Halliburton, Blackwater).</p>
<p>Still, $14 trillion is an insurmountable debt. Increasing taxes on the super-rich combined with a global American military withdrawal from its current role as Hessianized mercenary force for the City of London banksters, while welcome, will not be enough to deal with this monster debt, what Jefferson termed, this “deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery”.</p>
<p>The belt-way dialogue on the deficit remains locked in a tiny intellectual box created by the corporate media and their Federal Reserve cartel owners. But there is another way.</p>
<p>It is a myth that most of that $14 trillion debt is owed to the Chinese or other “governments”. The vast majority – around $10 trillion – is owed to the Eight Families Federal Reserve crowd.</p>
<p>In a June 9, 2011 article for Marketwatch, Unicredit’s Chief US Economist Harm Bandholz stated that the Federal Reserve is the largest holder of US debt with around 14% of the total. This does not include debt held by Rothschild-controlled central banks of other nations – including China, Japan and the GCC oil fiefdoms.</p>
<p>Through the recent QE2 program, the Fed purchased another $600 billion in Treasury bonds. They claimed it was a last ditch attempt to save the global economy from deflation. Instead, the banksters who got the interest free taxpayer-backed money pushed us further towards deflation by refusing to lend their welfare bonanza to potential homeowners or small business.</p>
<p>Conversely and inherent in the printing of zero-interest money, they created inflation – speculating in oil, food and gold futures and rolling this increased US debt on the roulette tables at their various wholly-owned global stock exchanges. Is it any wonder the financial parasite class is now clamoring for QE3?</p>
<p>What follows is a ten-step proposal which President Obama and the Congress could enact to lift the $14 trillion debt from the backs of future generations of Americans. These should be done concurrently as part of a single sweeping financial reform bill. Modeled after last week’s release of strategic petroleum reserves by twenty-seven nations, this measure should be enacted in tandem with as many willing nations as possible. The same Rothschild-led cabal controls the central banks of most every nation and there is power in numbers. If these measures are enacted separately or by only one nation, the Eight Families cartel will use their financial clout to target and destroy the US:</p>
<p>1) Introduce a Treasury Department-administered infrastructure investment fund, which workers should be strongly encouraged to opt into using accrued funds from their private 401K plans. This is important because the banker’s stock market casino will crash due to the next nine steps and workers must be shielded from this event. This fund can be used to rebuild America’s infrastructure, with American workers acting as lenders and receiving a fair rate of interest in return.</p>
<p>2) The US needs to withdraw from the Bank of International Settlements, the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, the IMF and all Eight Families-controlled multilateral lending facilities. We would save billions funding these banker welfare schemes while freeing ourselves from rules which prevent our financial emancipation.</p>
<p>3) De-link the dollar from all currency baskets and IMF special drawing rights. Ban trade in dollars on all global exchanges. This will create a demand for dollars and strengthen our badly devalued currency. Impose currency controls by fixing the dollar at 1:1 euro, Chinese yuan, Canadian dollar and Swiss franc; 100:1 Japanese yen. During the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad fixed the nation’s currency – the ringit. It was the only currency in the region that did not crash when Rothschild front-man George Soros took aim at the region.</p>
<p>4) Nationalize the Federal Reserve. According to a London barrister I have been in contact with, under the Federal Reserve Act there is a provision that allows for the US government to buy back the Fed’s charter for $4 billion. We should pay this fee, revoke the Fed charter and launch a new US dollar issued by the Treasury Department. With the dollar fixed, the vampires cannot crash it.</p>
<p>5) Cancel the $10 trillion debt to the Illuminati bankers. Debt obligations to foreign governments and small bond-holders should be honored at par.</p>
<p>6) Arrest the perpetrators. Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law all fraudulent transactions involving the Fed cartel. Send the FBI to the New York Fed. Seize all documents. Confiscate the world’s largest gold reserves which are stored there. These were stolen from various governments including from our own Ft. Knox reserves.</p>
<p>7) Forget just repealing the Bush tax cuts on the rich. The top tax rate on people who make more than $1 million/ year should be raised to 75%. People making more than $500,000/year should pay 50%. All tax brackets below $75,000/year should see tax cuts. If you get more from government you need to pay for it, instead of soaking the middle-class and blaming it on the poor.</p>
<p> <img src='http://noliesradio.org/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> Slash Pentagon spending. Shut down all US military bases on foreign soil, including those in Europe, Japan and South Korea. Withdraw ALL troops from Iraq and Afghanistan immediately. Use the savings to pay off government and small bond-holders.</p>
<p>9) Outlaw offshore banking by US citizens and corporations. Bring your money home and pay taxes on it or surrender your US passport/corporate charter. The dramatic increase in tax revenue would be enough to pay off the remaining debt to sovereign governments and small bond-holders, while keeping our obligations to the Social Security trust fund.</p>
<p>10) Introduce single-payer health care and price controls on prescription drugs. The current corporate for-profit health care bonanza depends upon sickness and ill health for its hefty profits. In 2006 Canada government spent $3,678 per person for free single-payer coverage for all its citizens. The US government spent $6,714 per person covering the insurance, pharmaceutical, hospital and AMA cartels. The savings attained from eliminating insurance/pharmaceutical/hospital chain/doctor-perpetrated Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security fraud will save the US Treasury billions. It is the only solution to skyrocketing and unsustainable health care costs.</p>
<p>Using this methodology the US could wipe out both its deficit and its debt within a year. These measures should be planned in secret and introduced swiftly and in rapid succession. Social security and Medicare will be saved. The middle class will see their tax rates go down, while their retirement fund finances the rebuilding of a 21st Century America. Manufacturing jobs will come home, since the Chinese yuan will have seen a dramatic appreciation. Our national security will be enhanced by withdrawing from the role of global policeman.</p>
<p>If we keep thinking inside the banker-manufactured beltway box, our children have no future. They will live in a Third World country which produces nothing, lorded over by debt-collector parasites known as the “financial services industry”.</p>

<p>There are so many things you can do at home to help yourself. Here are ten more surprising home remedies for everyday issues.</p>
<p>1. An old adage says “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.</p>
<p>2. How about rough or scaly feet? Try mixing two cups of milk on a small tub of warm water, then soak your feet in it for 10 to 15 minutes. A milk bath will soften your feet and increase the effectiveness of using a pumice stone afterwards.</p>
<p>3. Have a pesky toothache? While it may not treat the cause of the toothache, a few drops of clove essential oil dabbed on the affected area can quickly relieve the pain!</p>
<p>4. Do leg cramps wake you up at night? Traditionally, doctors prescribed a drug known as quinine for leg cramps, but it has been discontinued because it can be dangerous in large doses. However, tonic water still contains a small amount of quinine, and drinking a glass of tonic water before bed can offer relief from leg cramps with little risk.</p>
<p>5. How about an upset stomach? Ginger is a great treatment for upset stomach and nausea. It works like a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug! Make ginger tea by peeling fresh ginger root, slicing it into thin slices, and adding it to boiling water. Cover and reduce heat, and let the mixture simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the tea and add honey and lemon for taste. Avoid other sweeteners as they can further upset a stomach. Also, do not give ginger to a child under the age of two.</p>
<p>6. What should you do for insect bites? Try crushing an antacid tablet along with a pinch of plain oatmeal into a small amount of water? Take the resulting paste and dab it on the bites. The aspirin in antacid tablets helps to reduce burning and itching.</p>
<p>7. Feeling the burn of athlete’s foot? Try soaking your feet in mouth wash! Not only does it help to reduce foot odor, but the antiseptic in mouthwash helps to clear up the fungal infection.</p>
<p>8. Having trouble with canker sores? Believe it or not, aloe vera may help you! The cooling effect of aloe vera can help relieve the pain of canker sores. Just apply a small amount of the gel directly to the sore.</p>
<p>9. Did you know that the probiotics in yogurt can help prevent gum disease? Just add two ounces of yogurt to your daily diet.</p>
<p>10. Suffer from dark circles under your eyes? Witch hazel may be the answer you’re looking for. Witch hazel is a natural astringent, and can help to shrink the blood vessels beneath the eyes, reducing puffiness and dark circles. Simply soak a cotton ball with witch hazel and apply it to the area, taking care to keep it out of the eyes.</p>
<p>So there you have ten home remedies. Give them a try and see if they don’t help you out.</p>

<p>DemocracyNow.org &#8211; We&#8217;re joined at the NATO summit in Chicago by Scott Olsen, who survived two tours in Iraq but almost died when he was hit with a police projectile at an Occupy Oakland protest last year. Olsen returned four of his medals at Sunday&#8217;s antiwar march. When asked why he&#8217;s joined the Occupy movement and is protesting against the heavily-policed NATO summit, Olsen says, &#8220;I am going to make every effort I can to show them that we&#8217;re doing the right thing. No matter what they do to any of us, we&#8217;ve got each other&#8217;s backs and we&#8217;re going forward.&#8221;</p>

<p>On May 31, 2012 the annual Bilderberg conference will take place in Chantilly, Virgina. Every year the world&#8217;s elites meet to make decisions that could potentially have an affect on millions around the world. The venue where the meeting will take place will be on lockdown and decisions on an alleged global agenda will be decided behind closed doors. Alex Jones, host of the Alex Jones Show, joins us with his experience at the Bilderberg conference.</p>
<p>Stay tuned!! No Lies Radio will be continuing coverage before, during and after this important event where the &#8216;powers that be&#8217; decide what to do with the world.</p>

<p>Donna Summer, whom millions of fans revered as &#8220;the Queen of Disco,&#8221; has died at the age of 63 in Florida after a battle with cancer, the Associated Press has confirmed with the singer&#8217;s family Thursday morning.</p>
<p>The news comes as a surprise to those who were not aware that she was  ill. The legendary superstar was publicly active as recently as last  June, when she appeared as a guest panelist on Bravo&#8217;s music reality  show <em>Platinum Hit</em>.</p>
<p>However, a <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/17/donna-summer-dead-last-dance">report </a>by <em>TMZ, </em>which initially broke the story,<em> </em>notes  that those close to the singer&#8211;known for mega-hits including &#8220;Last  Dance&#8221; and &#8220;Bad Girls&#8221;&#8211;revealed she had been trying to hide how sick  she was. A source said that Summer did not seem to be in that bad of  shape two weeks ago.</p>
<p>She is survived by daughters Brooklyn and Amanda, her grown daughters  with husband Bruce Sudano, a fellow musician whom she married in 1980,  and Mimi, her eldest daughter with first husband, actor Helmuth Sommer.</p>

<p>This song &#8216;She Works Hard For The Money&#8217; was and is a theme song for the Women&#8217;s movement since the 1970&#8242;s. Donna was a beautiful, kind and intelligent artist with a great voice. Her memory will live on in her music.</p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-3317" href="http://noliesradio.org/?attachment_id=3317"><img title="15 Things You Should Give Up Today" src="http://www.purposefairy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/15-Things-You-Should-Give-Up-Today.jpg" alt="" width="428" height="315" /></a></p>
<p>Here is a list of 15 things which, if you give up on them, will make your life a lot easier and much, much happier. We hold on to so many things that cause us a great deal of pain, stress and suffering – and instead of letting them all go, instead of allowing ourselves to be stress free and happy – we cling on to them. Not anymore. Starting today we will give up on all those things that no longer serve us, and we will embrace change. Ready? Here we go:</p>
<p>1. Give up your need to always be right</p>
<p>There are so many of us who can’t stand the idea of being wrong – wanting to always be right – even at the risk of ending great relationships or causing a great deal of stress and pain, for us and for others. It’s just not worth it. Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to jump into a fight over who is right and who is wrong, ask yourself this question: “Would I rather be right, or would I rather be kind?” Wayne Dyer. What difference will that make? Is your ego really that big?</p>
<p>2. Give up your need for control</p>
<p>Be willing to give up your need to always control everything that happens to you and around you – situations, events, people, etc. Whether they are loved ones, coworkers, or just strangers you meet on the street – just allow them to be. Allow everything and everyone to be just as they are and you will see how much better will that make you feel.</p>
<p>“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond winning.” Lao Tzu</p>
<p>3. Give up on blame</p>
<p>Give up on your need to blame others for what you have or don’t have, for what you feel or don’t feel. Stop giving your powers away and start taking responsibility for your life.</p>
<p>4. Give up your self-defeating self-talk</p>
<p>Oh my. How many people are hurting themselves because of their negative, polluted and repetitive self-defeating mindset? Don’t believe everything that your mind is telling you – especially if it’s negative and self-defeating. You are better than that.</p>
<p>“The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive.” Eckhart Tolle</p>
<p>5. Give up your limiting beliefs</p>
<p>about what you can or cannot do, about what is possible or impossible. From now on, you are no longer going to allow your limiting beliefs to keep you stuck in the wrong place. Spread your wings and fly!</p>
<p>“A belief is not an idea held by the mind, it is an idea that holds the mind” Elly Roselle</p>
<p>6. Give up complaining</p>
<p>Give up your constant need to complain about those many, many, maaany things – people, situations, events that make you unhappy, sad and depressed. Nobody can make you unhappy, no situation can make you sad or miserable unless you allow it to. It’s not the situation that triggers those feelings in you, but how you choose to look at it. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking.</p>
<p>7. Give up the luxury of criticism</p>
<p>Give up your need to criticize things, events or people that are different than you. We are all different, yet we are all the same. We all want to be happy, we all want to love and be loved and we all want to be understood. We all want something, and something is wished by us all.</p>
<p>8. Give up your need to impress others</p>
<p>Stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not just to make others like you. It doesn’t work this way. The moment you stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not, the moment you take off all your masks, the moment you accept and embrace the real you, you will find people will be drawn to you, effortlessly.</p>
<p>9. Give up your resistance to change</p>
<p>Change is good. Change will help you move from A to B. Change will help you make improvements in your life and also the lives of those around you. Follow your bliss, embrace change – don’t resist it.<br />
“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls” Joseph Campbell</p>
<p>10. Give up labels</p>
<p>Stop labeling those things, people or events that you don’t understand as being weird or different and try opening your mind, little by little. Minds only work when open. “The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don’t know anything about.” Wayne Dyer</p>
<p>11. Give up on your fears</p>
<p>Fear is just an illusion, it doesn’t exist – you created it. It’s all in your mind. Correct the inside and the outside will fall into place.<br />
“The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.” Franklin D. Roosevelt</p>
<p>12. Give up your excuses</p>
<p>Send them packing and tell them they’re fired. You no longer need them. A lot of times we limit ourselves because of the many excuses we use. Instead of growing and working on improving ourselves and our lives, we get stuck, lying to ourselves, using all kind of excuses – excuses that 99.9% of the time are not even real.</p>
<p>13. Give up the past</p>
<p>I know, I know. It’s hard. Especially when the past looks so much better than the present and the future looks so frightening, but you have to take into consideration the fact that the present moment is all you have and all you will ever have. The past you are now longing for – the past that you are now dreaming about – was ignored by you when it was present. Stop deluding yourself. Be present in everything you do and enjoy life. After all life is a journey not a destination. Have a clear vision for the future, prepare yourself, but always be present in the now.</p>
<p>14. Give up attachment</p>
<p>This is a concept that, for most of us is so hard to grasp and I have to tell you that it was for me too, (it still is) but it’s not something impossible. You get better and better at with time and practice. The moment you detach yourself from all things, (and that doesn’t mean you give up your love for them – because love and attachment have nothing to do with one another,  attachment comes from a place of fear, while love… well, real love is pure, kind, and self less, where there is love there can’t be fear, and because of that, attachment and love cannot coexist) you become so peaceful, so tolerant, so kind, and so serene. You will get to a place where you will be able to understand all things without even trying. A state beyond words.</p>
<p>15. Give up living your life to other people’s expectations</p>
<p>Way too many people are living a life that is not theirs to live. They live their lives according to what others think is best for them, they live their lives according to what their parents think is best for them, to what their friends, their enemies and their teachers, their government and the media think is best for them. They ignore their inner voice, that inner calling.</p>

<div><img id="img_caption_1511829" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/603797/thumbs/s-MOTHERS-DAY-2012-large.jpg" alt="Mothers Day 2012" width="260" height="190" /></div>

<p>Thirty-one years later and half a world away, Talei Berger’s dream has come true.</p>
<p>She will spend Mother’s Day with her daughter.</p>
<p>“It’s a wonderful dream come true,” said Berger, a Shelby Township resident.</p>
<p>“Every Mother’s Day, I dreamed about it,” Berger said. “I can’t  believe it’s happening. It’s quite overwhelming. The enormity of it—I  just don’t think about it.”</p>
<p>The daughter, Cara MacKenzie, scoured the Internet from her home in New Zealand to track down Berger.</p>
<p>After conversations on Skype and meeting face-to-face in Hawaii last  August, MacKenzie moved to Michigan last month to live with Berger.</p>
<div id="ad_mid_article">
<form id="qas_dfp_frm" method="get">
<input name="ie52_mac_only" type="hidden" /></form>
</div>
<p>On Sunday, they will spend Mother’s Day together for the first time.</p>
<p>“It’s hard to describe,” said the 31-year-old MacKenzie. “It makes me  want to cry just thinking about it. … It’s just incredibly special.  It’s such a blessing.</p>
<p><strong>&#8216;I prayed every day&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>Talei Berger gave birth to Cara MacKenzie on July 1, 1980, in Auckland, New Zealand.</p>
<p>“I had to give her up at 19,” said Berger, who grew up in Fiji and  lived for much of her life in Australia. “My parents weren’t in the  position to support the baby, and the father didn’t want anything to do  with it.”</p>
<p>Cara was adopted by Judy Duncan and Brian MacKenzie, and she grew up  in New Zealand knowing about her birth mother. Cara would tell her  friends her mother was an angel.</p>
<p>Talei, though, knew few details. After giving birth, she returned to Australia.</p>
<p>“All I knew was that she was in New Zealand,” Berger said. “And I prayed every day.”</p>
<p><strong>&#8216;We both felt very blessed.&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>Time passed.</p>
<p>Talei would get married to Frank Berger. She would give birth to a son, Jared.</p>
<p>Talei and her family would move from Australia to Michigan in 2003.  Her son would graduate from Eisenhower High School and enroll at Oakland  University. She would work at PTI Engineered Plastics on 23 Mile Road.</p>
<p>Life moved on.</p>
<p>And then Cara found her.</p>
<p>“I decided I wanted to find her,” Cara said. “I had always known her  and I had always known why she had given me up for adoption.”</p>
<p>Cara searched Facebook and Google until she found Talei’s sister,  Michele, on Facebook last April. Michele, with whom Talei had stayed  when she gave birth to Cara, connected the two.</p>
<p>Talei phoned Cara, who answered at midnight New Zealand time, and they talked for the first time.</p>
<p>“It was very emotional,” Cara said. “We both felt very blessed.”</p>
<p>After that, the two stayed in touch with conversations on Skype. Cara  learned she had a half-brother, Jared, and Talei learned she had a  grandson—Cara’s 11-year-old son, Ethan.</p>
<p>They had their first face-to-face meeting in August in Hawaii.  Despite being apart for more than three decades, the connection was  strong.</p>
<p>“When I got home, I missed her,” Cara said. “I wanted to get to know her more.”</p>
<p>So in April MacKenzie resigned as a school teacher in Auckland, took  her son out of school and left behind her family and boyfriend to move  to the United States to be with Berger.<br />
<strong><br />
&#8216;We’re just taking it one day at a time.&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>With the support of her adopted parents and family in New Zealand,  Cara arrived in the United States on April 17. She and Ethan met Talei  in San Francisco, and they visited there before coming to Shelby  Township on April 20.</p>
<p>They’ve gone to Greektown, and Frank has taken them to Comerica Park for a Tigers game (though it was rained out).</p>
<p>This summer, they plan to go to Shanty Creek in Northern Michigan and  the Cherry Festival in Traverse CIty. They also want to travel to  places such as New York and Las Vegas</p>
<p>They’ve gone shopping at Macy’s and taken walks at Stony Creek  Metropark. Mostly, though, they have just spent time together, talking,  hanging out and bonding as mother and daughter.</p>
<p>Cara said she could stay in Michigan three months, a year,  indefinitely. Ethan has enrolled at Crissman Elementary School. Talei  wants to teach Cara how to drive. (In New Zealand, automobiles drive on  the left-hand side of the road.)</p>
<p>“We’re just taking it one day at a time,” Talei said. “There are no expectations.”</p>

<p>At least 100,000 Spaniards angered by grim economic prospects and the political handling of the international financial crisis turned out for street demonstrations in the country&#8217;s cities Saturday, marking the one-year anniversary of a movement that inspired similar pressure groups in other countries.</p>
<p>Tens of thousands of protesters in Madrid flooded into the central Puerta del Sol plaza in the evening and aimed to stay for three days. But authorities warned they wouldn&#8217;t allow anyone to camp out overnight, and up to 2000 riot police were expected to be on duty.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m here to defend the rights that we&#8217;re losing and for the young people who have it so tough,&#8221; 57-year-old school teacher Roberto Alonso said. &#8220;They&#8217;re better educated than ever. But they don&#8217;t have work. They don&#8217;t have anything. They&#8217;re behind and they&#8217;ll stay that way.&#8221;</p>
<p>At least 20,000 people demonstrated in Barcelona. Marches were also held in Bilbao, Malaga and Seville. Sympathisers held protests in other European cities.</p>
<p>The protests began May 15 last year and drew hundreds of thousands of people calling themselves the Indignant Movement. The demonstrations spread across Spain and Europe as anti-austerity sentiment grew.</p>
<p>Spain is in deep economic difficulty, prompting fears it may need a bailout similar to those helping Greece, Ireland and Portugal. It is in recession, and unemployment stands at almost 25 per cent &#8211; the highest among the 17 countries using the euro. One in two Spaniards under the age of 25 are out of work.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy&#8217;s conservative government has enacted deep spending cuts to reduce the national debt, but many people blame those measures for deepening families&#8217; financial plight.</p>
<p>Javier Colilla, a 27-year old university student, said he showed up to protest in Madrid because Spain&#8217;s economic situation seems like it will spiral into chaos.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve had this crisis for four years, but it feels like it&#8217;s just starting,&#8221; the fine arts major said.</p>
<p>Colilla lives with his parents, sees zero prospect of getting a menial job after graduation and thinks he may never be able to buy an apartment.</p>
<p>&#8220;Right now I&#8217;m thinking my best option will be to go to Germany where I can wash dishes, make a little money and learn German,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The prospects of getting a job in Spain are practically inexistent.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said the government austerity cuts targeting &#8220;health and education, but rescuing banks are wrong. They need to find other places to cut.&#8221;</p>
<p>A year ago, the &#8220;indignados&#8221; pitched tents and occupied town and city squares across Spain for weeks. Demonstrators clashed with police who eventually moved in to evict them.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are here today to celebrate one year since the&#8230; movement started and though we have achieved some things the situation is much worse now, so we need to keep fighting to get things better and that&#8217;s why we are here today,&#8221; said 40-year-old activist Ana Pancorvo, who was hooking up with one of four Madrid marches due to converge on the Puerta del Sol.</p>
<p>Antonio Barroso, a London-based Europe analyst for Eurasia Group, said he doubted the Spanish protests would force Rajoy&#8217;s government to change its policies.</p>
<p>The demonstrations &#8220;will probably have no impact on the government&#8217;s strategy,&#8221; he said in a written analysis.</p>
<p>Protests also took place Saturday in other European cities, and were planned in South American countries including Brazil and Chile.</p>

<p><font color=#8000ff>Coming up Saturday:  Spiritist Psychiatric Hospitals in Brazil</b></font></font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="arial"><a href="http://emmabragdon.com/" target="_blank">EMMA BRAGDON, Ph.D.</a> gives a private talk to small group of doctors, psychiatrists, and activists regarding her work and research into  Spiritist Psychiatric Hospitals in Brazil, where truly integrative care with minimum drugs and use of mediums to communicate with spirits has been a successful model that for 80 years has integrated spirituality into health care with most remarkable results.  </p>
<p>Spiritists have defined the landscape of how disembodied beings interact with those still in body.. They have originated modes of healing that address the subtle energies of the body and emotions to increase wellness. Their precepts dispel the many scary ideas we have about life after death, and bring a great deal of comfort to those who have feared death and the afterlife.  The listener is encouraged to abandon preconceived notions that Spiritism is a form of black magic, and see a different idea entirely. </p>
<p>Her comprehensive film on this subject “Spiritism: Bridging Spirituality and Health” (2008) was also shown at this event. It is a 33-minute documentary which colorfully reveals Brazilian Spiritism through visiting Spiritist Centers and Hospitals in Brazil and in the USA and can be <a href="http://www.spiritismfilm.com/" target="_blank">ordered here</a>.</p>
<p>This is a No Lies Radio PSI news recording of a <a href="http://www.favors.org/FF/" target="_blank">Friendly Favors </a>event on 5-10-2012 in Walnut Creek, California. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MindBodyGreen By JenniferPastiloff re-post from April 14, 2012</p>
<div><img src="http://res.mindbodygreen.com/img/ftr/jennifer-pastiloff-wc-large.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<div>
<p>Or not. You don’t have to live by my rules. But they do make life a whole lot sweeter. Each post will delve into each of one of the following rules.</p>
<p>1. Be Kind.</p>
<p>2. Have a sense of humor especially when it comes to YOU.</p>
<p>3. Write poems, even if only in your head.</p>
<p>4. Sing out loud, even if badly.</p>
<p>5. Dance, even with no rhythm</p>
<p>6. If you don&#8217;t have anything nice to say&#8230; you know the deal.</p>
<p>7. Find things to be in awe of.</p>
<p>8. Be grateful for what you have right now.</p>
<p>9. Watch Modern Family, read Wayne Dyer, and end every complaint with &#8220;But I&#8217;m so blessed!&#8221;</p>
<p>10. Duh, do yoga.</p>
<p>11. Don&#8217;t worry. Everyone on Facebook seems like they have happier and funner lives. They don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>12. Tell someone you love that you love them. Right now.</p>
<p>13.Take more pictures.</p>
<p>14. Forgive yourself for not being perfect. No such thing.</p>
<p>15. Thank the Universe in advance.</p>
<p>Number One. Kindness.</p>
<p>Ah, sweet kindness.</p>
<p>Yesterday I was on an airplane, as I am a lot these days. The flight attendant snapped at me because I asked him twice after he spoke. As if I simply was not listening or trying to  make his job harder on purpose. He growled at me. Now, the reason I  asked is because I have a major hearing problem. I wear  hearing aids, which are so small that you can’t even see. I know it’s  annoying to have to repeat yourself all the time. I get it. It stinks.</p>
<p>But you know what stinks worse? Not being able to hear.</p>
<p>So be kind, folks.</p>
<p>To be A) right or to be B) kind? The answer is B as in Be Kind.</p>
<p>Always  choose kindness. Even if you are irritated. Even if you are tired. Even  if you think you have been wronged. (Not-so-secret secret: it feels  better to be kind.) Even if you are trying to walk down the aisle of the  plane you work on to ask people if they want coffee or cocktails, be  kind.</p>
<p>The alternative is grim.</p>
<p>Because  here is what happens in a nutshell. Flight attendant snaps at me. I  feel bad. I snap at my husband. My husband feels bad and snaps at me. No  one feels good. It’s a nutshell filled with misgivings and  miscommunications and hurt feelings. It’s a nutshell that needs a big  nutcracker once it hardens. But, if we stop it before it grows and  hardens, it becomes a soft heart-like thing, it’s texture dense and  filled with kindness.</p>
<p>Kindness doesn’t need a nut-cracker.</p>
<p>Kindess  needs a candle. Kindness needs a glass of merlot. Kindess needs a dance  party. Kindness needs a downward facing dog. Kindness needs a hug.  Kindness needs more kindness. It’s contagious like that.</p>
<p>Kindness does not need protective gear or a blow torch.</p>
<p>What can YOU do today to be kind?</p>
<p>Here are some suggestions:</p>
<p>1)   Look at your face in the mirror and find something to love about it.  Find a couple of somethings to love about that face of yours. Go ahead  and say “I love you” to your reflection even if you feel silly doing it.  Let’s start there.</p>
<p>2) Make the person in front of you the most important person in the world.</p>
<p>3)  Move your yoga mat over a few inches to make room for the person who  just walked into the room without rolling your eyes or grumbling. In  fact, smile as you do it.</p>
<p>4) Let someone over who is trying to merge in traffic. Yes, even if you live in Los Angeles and are driving on the 405.</p>
<p>5)  Offering a silent blessing to the homeless person on the corner if you  do not want to give them money. If you do give them money, still offer  them a silent blessing.</p>
<p>6) Hug a child. One you know please!</p>
<p>7) Hug an animal. You don’t necessarily have to know the animal.</p>
<p> <img src='http://noliesradio.org/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> If you think someone is beautiful, tell them.</p>
<p>9)  Say thank you no matter what.</p>

<p> <font size="2" face="arial">Guest: <a href="http://www.dailypaul.com/" target="_blank">Ron Paul</a> expert Rolf Lindgren, who says Ron Paul has a chance to win the Republican nomination, beat Obama, and become the greatest &#8220;peace president&#8221; in history: The president who ends the empire and restores the republic.  Dr. Paul, unlike even the most peacenik of Democratic politicos, wants to abolish the CIA, close down every foreign military base, bring ALL of the troops home, and return to a &#8220;defend the borders&#8221; military posture &#8211; a shift that could save the US economy via radical cuts in military spending. And he wants to end the Fed and bust up the big monopoly banksters, the real <a href="http://www.zappinternet.com/video/gimRxoGyoK/Bob-Dylans-MASTERS-of-WAR" target="_blank">&#8220;masters of war.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>The media are finally admitting that Ron Paul &#8211; who admittedly fared less well in the Diebold-administered beauty contests than Mitt Romney &#8211; is a threat to Romney in the only vote that counts: The vote that will be cast by delegates at the Republican convention. If an &#8220;anyone but Romney&#8221; consensus develops among conservatives, Dr. Paul is poised to be the beneficiary. And a long list of polls, assiduously covered up by the Zionist-imperialist media, shows that Dr. Paul is the only Republican candidate likely to beat Obama.  Why? Because Dr. Paul will peel off many of the &#8220;peace voters&#8221; who elected Obama. No other Republican candidate can get that kind of support from people who are usually Democrats or independents.</p>
<p>If the Republicans want to win, they must nominate Ron Paul.<br />
<img src="http://noliesradio.org/images/Lindgren.jpg" alt="Rolf Lindgren"><br />
Rolf &#8220;WTC-7 is the moons of Jupiter&#8221; Lindgren</p>
<p>And if that happens, the DIPS (dominant inbred psychopaths) who rule the empire will face a tough choice: Take a chance on yet another high-profile assassination and hope the people don&#8217;t rise up in revolt; or give up their imperial power and retire gracefully to the underside of whatever rock they crawled out from in the first place.</p>
<p>Rolf Lindgren is a Libertarian Party activist and Ron Paul expert. Rolf is also uncommonly well-informed on the American Revolution and Constitution. In his spare time he enjoys studying Galileo and insisting that &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxmdYOorqs0" target="_blank">Building 7</a> is the <a href="http://www.astrologer.com/tests/galileo.htm" target="_blank">moons of Jupiter</a>.&#8221;</p>

<p><font size="2" face="arial">Cindy brings us <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Stein" target="_blank">Dr. Jill Stein</a>, who is currently seeking the Green Party&#8217;s nomination for President of the United States.  She graduated from Harvard Medicine in 1979, taught internal medicine for years and has been a pioneer in environmental health advocacy.  You might want to check out her clear and oh-so lucid perspective, which is very well presented on <a href="http://www.jillstein.org/" target="_blank">her green web site!</a>  Read the articles &#8211; they&#8217;re short, they&#8217;re illuminating &#8211; and they&#8217;re chock full of surprising information! Especially read those about Dr. Stein&#8217;s &#8220;Green New Deal.&#8221;  Listen in, and hear her tell Cindy that public opinion now seems to be at a breaking point.  &#8220;As independent political peace/justice advocates, we&#8217;ve been ahead of the curve of the mainstream &#8211; but now the mainstream is catching up with us to say &#8220;You guys are really right; we really are being shafted by the system!&#8221;  She sees a tremendous hunger out there for a politics of integrity, a politics that people can trust, a politics that expresses this incredible movement for democracy, justice and peace that is alive and cooking out there at the grassroots but has typically been denied by establishment of politics.&#8221;</p>

<p>Doctors at a hospital in Istanbul are turning to an unusual form of medicine &#8211; music. Music therapy may sound a strange approach to modern medicine but according to doctors at the Memorial hospital in the Turkish capital it is producing results. The man behind the drive is Professor Bingur Sonmez and he has been joined by his colleagues Dr Erol Can and Mehmet Susam in order to revive the traditional Islamic idea of music therapy. Pictured above: Dr Erol Can (centre), plays a yayli tanbur (an Ottoman violin) with Professor Bingur Sonmez (left) holding a flute and Mehmet Susam (right) playing guitar.</p>

<p>Hundreds of thousands of people across the globe have taken to  the streets to mark May Day, also known as International Workers&#8217; Day.</p>
<p><img title="Thousands of Turkish protesters gather at Taksim square in Istanbul during a May Day rally on Tuesday. (Bulent Kilic/AFP/GETTY)" src="http://www.commondreams.org/sites/commondreams.org/files/imce-images/taksimsquare_mayday_0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Thousands of Turkish protesters gather at Taksim square in Istanbul during a May Day rally on Tuesday. (Bulent Kilic/AFP/GETTY)</p>
<p>In  Athens, Jakarta, Madrid, Tunis and beyond, protesters are refusing   austerity and demanding decent wages and working conditions.</p>
<p>The Jakarta Globe <a href="http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/news/indonesia-stages-asias-biggest-may-day-rally/515268">reports</a> that Indonesia held Asia’s biggest May Day rally today with over  160,000 protesters across the nation demanding better labor conditions.</p>
<p>Helena Smith <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/may/01/eurozone-crisis-greece-venizelos-may-day-protests">writes</a> in the Guardian that &#8220;workers across Greece have taken to the streets  of towns large and small to protest the unprecedented belt-tightening  ordinary Greeks have been subjected to over the course of the past two  years. &#8221;</p>
<p>In the Philippines tens of thousands hit the streets to protest low  wages and U.S. military presence.  Xinhua reports that groups &#8220;unveiled a  symbolic mural depicting the collective strength of masses as the &#8216;real  political power.&#8217;&#8221;</p>

<p>In Hong Kong, where thousands have staged protests today, one protester echoed the message of the Occupy movement, <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jpH-Sf9Z75AKQZc-7Xf6tttCNLDg?docId=CNG.1def0ba4c89e271895bffc90db26980f.331">telling</a> AFP that the &#8220;problem with Hong Kong is that the wealth is concentrated  on a small number of people, many people are still living in poverty,&#8221;  university professor Fernando Cheung, who teaches social work, said at  the rally.</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s why Hong Kong has one of the world&#8217;s highest income gaps  between rich and poor. We urgently need a redistribution of wealth,&#8221; he  said.</p>

<p id="paragraph1">Why has Big Pharma  failed to produce new antibiotics for deadly infections like MRSA  (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), VRE (vancomycin-resistant  enterococci), C. Difficile and Acinetobacter baumannii even as they  leap from hospital to community settings? Because there is no money in  it.</p>
<p>Pharma executives &#8220;have  shown less interest in medicines like antibiotics that actually cure  disease than in those that only treat symptoms,&#8221; writes Melody Petersen, author of <em>Our Daily Meds</em>.  &#8220;Most blockbusters are pills for conditions such as anxiety, high  cholesterol or constipation that must be taken daily, often for months  or years. They are designed for rich Americans who can afford to buy  them.&#8221; Nor are medicines for tropical diseases like malaria, which kills  a child every 30 seconds, a priority, notes Petersen. They also lack  ka-ching.</p>
<p>Since direct-to-consumer drug advertising debuted in the late 1990s, the number of people on prescription drugs &#8212; especially prescription drugs for life &#8212; has ballooned. Between 2001 to 2007 the percentage of adults and children on one or more prescriptions for chronic conditions rose by more than 12 million, reports the Associated Press and 25 percent of US children now take a medication for a chronic condition. Seven percent of kids take two or more daily drugs. Who says advertising doesn&#8217;t work?</p>
<p>Of the top-selling drugs in 2011, led by Lipitor, Nexium, Plavix, Advair Diskus, Abilify, Seroquel, Singulair and Crestor, none is taken occasionally, or &#8220;as needed&#8221; and the treatment goal is never to get off the drug, like an antibiotic. Why would Pharma deal itself out of the game?</p>
<p>There are two ways Pharma hooks the US public on prescriptions for life. First, prescriptions that used to be taken as needed for pain, anxiety, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux), asthma, mood problems, migraines and even erectile dysfunction, gout and retroviruses (in some cases) are now full-time medicines. Instead of having a bad day or heartburn, you have a disease like anxiety or GERD which calls for full pharmaceutical artillery. Instead of having body pain to be treated transiently, you are put on an antidepressant like Cymbalta or seizure drug like Lyrica or Neurontin indefinitely.</p>
<p>Secondly, many of the top-selling drugs today are to prevent chronic conditions like high cholesterol, high blood pressure and osteoporosis that people are said to be &#8220;at risk&#8221; for. Needless to say, in both cases, people never know if the drugs are working or whether they would have had symptoms without them. This creates a loyal customer who is afraid to quit a prescription because it might be working. And why should they quit anyway when a third party is probably paying?</p>
<p>Here are some drugs &#8212; not all &#8212; that are marketed for perpetuity.</p>
<p>1. ADHD and Drugs for Pediatric &#8216;Psychopathologies&#8217;</p>
<p>Thanks to Pharma&#8217;s &#8220;diagnose early&#8221; and screening campaigns, millions of children are treated with stimulants for ADHD and antipsychotics for bipolar disorder and assorted conduct, oppositional defiant, development disorders and &#8220;spectrums&#8221; today. No wonder Michael Bandick, brand manager for Eli Lilly&#8217;s popular antipsychotic Zyprexa, called it &#8220;the molecule that keeps on giving&#8221; at a national sales meeting.</p>
<p>But giving kids daily drugs creates two problems. First, parents will never know if their kids would have outgrown their conditions, and second, it&#8217;s unlikely they&#8217;ll ever get &#8220;clean.&#8221; In fact, Pharma marketers worry about the revenue threat of kids going off their meds when they leave home and even run an ad campaigns in college newspapers to keep them on. One ad shows the lead singer of Maroon 5, declaring, &#8220;I remember being the kid with ADHD. Truth is, I still have it.&#8221; The ad&#8217;s tag line reads, &#8220;It&#8217;s Your ADHD. Own It.&#8221;</p>
<p>2. Hormone Replacement Therapy</p>
<p>When the popular HRT pill Prempro was launched by Wyeth, now Pfizer, in the 1980s, then-CEO Bob Essner told sales associates, “We can make real the full promise of HRT to create in the near future a world where the majority of women will start HRT at menopause and continue on it for the rest of their lives,” reports Philadelphia magazine. The scheme of treating estrogen &#8220;deficiency&#8221; for 30 or 40 ears worked until 2002 when HRT was found to cause breast cancer, heart attacks, strokes, blood clots and dementia. They were some of the conditions it was supposed to prevent. Oops. But Pharma has not abandoned the billion-dollar franchise and news about estrogen benefits is creeping back into the news, predicated on the public&#8217;s short memory. People don&#8217;t lose hormones because they age; they age because they lose hormones, say Pharma hormone sellers. Even men now &#8220;suffer from&#8221; testosterone deficiencies or Low T.</p>
<p>3. Happy Pills</p>
<p>Pharma&#8217;s success in convincing people with anxiety or the &#8220;blues&#8221; that they need an antidepressant was a Wall Street coup. Instead of taking the occasional Xanax, people agreed to alter their entire body chemistry with a drug they took for months, years or decades.</p>
<p>But as antidepressants fall in popularity, because of their many side effects, including alarming &#8220;discontinuation symptoms&#8221; when people try to stop, WebMD is conducting damage control to keep people on them. Don’t believe that antidepressants turn “you into a zombie,” make you gain weight, ruin your sex life, make you &#8220;forget your problems rather than dealing with them&#8221; or cost too much, says the huge pro-pill Web site in one article. Depression is linked to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and cancer says a second WebMD article. Stay on your meds.</p>
<p>4. Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)</p>
<p>Some say gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is just lowly &#8220;heartburn&#8221; whipped up by Pharma into a profitable disease. But over 110 million prescriptions were written for proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Nexium and Prevacid in 2009, making it the third most prescribed class of drugs. Long-term use of PPIs increases the risk of hip, wrist and spine fractures, the FDA warns and the drugs can cause potentially lethal C. difficile-caused diarrhea and community-acquired pneumonia says national health advocacy group, Public Citizen. But Pharma has a different message. GERD can lead to esophageal inflammation, scar tissue and cancer, if untreated, it tells patients and symptoms won&#8217;t go away on their own. No wonder doctors call PPIs &#8220;Purple Crack.&#8221;</p>
<p>5. Statins</p>
<p>The best-selling statin drugs like Lipitor and Crestor that lower their cholesterol risks are pretty much the definition of &#8220;lifer medications,&#8221; taken in perpetuity. Who would dare to go off of them and risk cardiovascular events? </p>
<p>One patient on a cholesterol drug site writes that despite feeling &#8220;miserable&#8221; on statins, &#8220;What do you do? Go off the statins and let your arteries clog up?&#8221; But medical professionals say it is not safe to stay on statins indefinitely. Patients are at risk of liver dysfunction, acute kidney failure, cataracts and muscle damage known as myopathy, reports British Medical Journal. And statins can also cause memory loss and increase the risk of developing of Type 2 diabetes and muscle damage, FDA warns.</p>
<p>Still the appeal of a drug that lowers the risk of cardiovascular events without a change in diet or lifestyle made Lipitor the top-selling drug in the world, until recently, when its patent expired. Statins are now prescribed for kids, for the same reason.</p>
<p>6. Asthma-Control Medicines</p>
<p>Like ADHD and &#8220;pediatric psychopathology&#8221; drugs, Pharma conducts aggressive early treatment campaigns for asthma drugs, recommending that children as young as one year be treated when &#8220;symptoms&#8221; first emerge. (&#8220;Before they go away,” says one cynical doctor.) It has also marketed daily asthma &#8220;control&#8221; medicines like Advair and Symbicort so aggressively (prescription drugs added onto patients&#8217; regular asthma medicine &#8212; ka-ching) that nearly two-thirds of the nation&#8217;s millions of asthma sufferers take them.</p>

<p>Bob Dylan &#8211; Like a Rolling Stone</p>
<p>One of the best rock songs ever.</p>
<p>Lyrics:<br />
Once upon a time you dressed so fine<br />
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn&#8217;t you ?<br />
People&#8217;d call, say, &#8220;Beware doll, you&#8217;re bound to fall&#8221;<br />
You thought they were all kiddin&#8217; you<br />
You used to laugh about<br />
Everybody that was hangin&#8217; out<br />
Now you don&#8217;t talk so loud<br />
Now you don&#8217;t seem so proud<br />
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.</p>
<p>How does it feel<br />
How does it feel<br />
To be without a home<br />
Like a complete unknown<br />
Like a rolling stone ?</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely<br />
But you know you only used to get juiced in it<br />
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street<br />
And now you find out you&#8217;re gonna have to get used to it<br />
You said you&#8217;d never compromise<br />
With the mystery tramp, but know you realize<br />
He&#8217;s not selling any alibis<br />
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes<br />
And say do you want to make a deal?</p>
<p>How does it feel<br />
How does it feel<br />
To be on your own<br />
With no direction home<br />
Like a complete unknown<br />
Like a rolling stone ?<br />
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns<br />
When they all come down and did tricks for you<br />
You never understood that it ain&#8217;t no good<br />
You shouldn&#8217;t let other people get your kicks for you<br />
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat<br />
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat<br />
Ain&#8217;t it hard when you discover that<br />
He really wasn&#8217;t where it&#8217;s at<br />
After he took from you everything he could steal.</p>
<p>How does it feel<br />
How does it feel<br />
To be on your own<br />
With no direction home<br />
Like a complete unknown<br />
Like a rolling stone ?</p>
<p>Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people<br />
They&#8217;re drinkin&#8217;, thinkin&#8217; that they got it made<br />
Exchanging all precious gifts<br />
But you&#8217;d better take your diamond ring, you&#8217;d better pawn it babe<br />
You used to be so amused<br />
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used<br />
Go to him now, he calls you, you can&#8217;t refuse<br />
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose<br />
You&#8217;re invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.</p>
<p>How does it feel<br />
How does it feel<br />
To be on your own<br />
With no direction home<br />
Like a complete unknown<br />
Like a rolling stone ?</p>

<p><img src="http://images.politico.com/global/2012/04/120426_bob_dylan_reut_328.jpg" alt="" align="left" /></p>
<p><em>(Reuters)</em></p>
<p>The White House announced a slate of 13 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients Thursday — a list that includes folk singer Bob Dylan, former secretary of state Madeleine Albright, former Israeli president Shimon Peres, novelist Toni Morrison, and former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens.</p>
<p>Other notable recipients include astronaut and former Sen. John Glenn, University of Tennessee coach Pat Summitt, Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low (posthumously), and Polish resistance figure Jan Karski (posthumously).</p>
<p>The Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, is presented to individuals &#8220;who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;These extraordinary honorees come from different backgrounds and different walks of life, but each of them has made a lasting contribution to the life of our Nation.  They’ve challenged us, they’ve inspired us, and they’ve made the world a better place.  I look forward to recognizing them with this award,&#8221; President Obama said in a statement.</p>
<p>The ceremony will be in &#8220;late spring,&#8221; according to the White House.</p>
<p>Full list of recipients and bios after the jump.</p>
<p>Madeleine Albright</p>
<p>From 1997 to 2001, under President William J. Clinton, Albright served as the 64th United States Secretary of State, the first woman to hold that position.  During her tenure, she worked to enlarge NATO and helped lead the Alliance’s campaign against terror and ethnic cleansing in the Balkans, pursued peace in the Middle East and Africa, sought to reduce the dangerous spread of nuclear weapons, and was a champion of democracy, human rights, and good governance across the globe.  From 1993 to 1997, she was America’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations.  Since leaving office, she founded the Albright Stonebridge Group and Albright Capital Management, returned to teaching at Georgetown University, and authored five books.  Albright chairs the National Democratic Institute and is President of the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation.</p>
<p>John Doar</p>
<p>Doar was a legendary public servant and leader of federal efforts to protect and enforce civil rights during the 1960s.  He served as Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice.  In that capacity, he was instrumental during many major civil rights crises, including singlehandedly preventing a riot in Jackson, Mississippi, following the funeral of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evars in 1963.  Doar brought notable civil rights cases, including obtaining convictions for the 1964 killings of three civil rights workers in Neshoba County, Mississippi, and leading the effort to enforce the right to vote and implement the Voting Rights Act of 1965.  He later served as Special Counsel to the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary as it investigated the Watergate scandal and considered articles of impeachment against President Nixon.  Doar continues to practice law at Doar Rieck Kaley &#038; Mack in New York.</p>
<p>Bob Dylan</p>
<p>One of the most influential American musicians of the 20th century, Dylan released his first album in 1962.  Known for his rich and poetic lyrics, his work had considerable influence on the civil rights movement of the 1960s and has had significant impact on American culture over the past five decades.  He has won 11 Grammys, including a lifetime achievement award.  He was named a Commandeur dans l&#8217;Ordre des Art et des Lettres and has received a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation.  Dylan was awarded the 2009 National Medal of Arts.  He has written more than 600 songs, and his songs have been recorded more than 3,000 times by other artists.  He continues recording and touring around the world today.</p>
<p>William Foege</p>
<p>A physician and epidemiologist, Foege helped lead the successful campaign to eradicate smallpox in the 1970s.  He was appointed Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1977 and, with colleagues, founded the Task Force for Child Survival in 1984.  Foege became Executive Director of The Carter Center in 1986 and continues to serve the organization as a Senior Fellow.  He helped shape the global health work of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and remains a champion of a wide array of issues, including child survival and development, injury prevention, and preventative medicine.  Foege’s leadership has contributed significantly to increased awareness and action on global health issues, and his enthusiasm, energy, and effectiveness in these endeavors have inspired a generation of leaders in public health.</p>
<p>John Glenn</p>
<p>Glenn is a former United States Marine Corps pilot, astronaut, and United States Senator.  In 1962, he was the third American in space and the first American to orbit the Earth.  After retiring from the Marine Corps, Glenn was elected to the U.S. Senate in Ohio in 1974.  He was an architect and sponsor of the 1978 Nonproliferation Act and served as Chairman of the Senate Government Affairs committee from 1978 until 1995.  In 1998, Glenn became the oldest person to visit space at the age of 77.  He retired from the Senate in 1999.  Glenn is a recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal and the Congressional Space Medal of Honor.</p>
<p>Gordon Hirabayashi</p>
<p>Hirabayashi openly defied the forced relocation and internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.  As an undergraduate at the University of Washington, he refused the order to report for evacuation to an internment camp, instead turning himself in to the FBI to assert his belief that these practices were racially discriminatory.  Consequently, he was convicted by a U.S. Federal District Court in Seattle of defying the exclusion order and violating curfew.  Hirabayashi appealed his conviction all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled against him in 1943.  Following World War II and his time in prison, Hirabayashi obtained his doctoral degree in sociology and became a professor.  In 1987, his conviction was overturned by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.  Hirabayashi died on January 2, 2012.</p>
<p>Dolores Huerta</p>
<p>Huerta is a civil rights, workers, and women’s advocate. With Cesar Chavez, she co-founded the National Farmworkers Association in 1962, which later became the United Farm Workers of America.  Huerta has served as a community activist and a political organizer, and was influential in securing the passage of California’s Agricultural Labor Relations Act of 1975, and disability insurance for farmworkers in California.  In 2002, she founded the Dolores Huerta Foundation, an organization dedicated to developing community organizers and national leaders.  In 1998, President Clinton awarded her the Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Human Rights.</p>
<p>Jan Karski</p>
<p>Karski served as an officer in the Polish Underground during World War II and carried among the first eye-witness accounts of the Holocaust to the world.  He worked as a courier, entering the Warsaw ghetto and the Nazi Izbica transit camp, where he saw first-hand the atrocities occurring under Nazi occupation.  Karski later traveled to London to meet with the Polish government-in-exile and with British government officials.  He subsequently traveled to the United States and met with President Roosevelt.  Karski published Story of a Secret State, earned a Ph.D at Georgetown University, and became a professor at Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service.  Born in 1914, Karski became a U.S. citizen in 1954 and died in 2000.</p>
<p>Juliette Gordon Low</p>
<p>Born in 1860, Low founded the Girl Scouts in 1912.  The organization strives to teach girls self-reliance and resourcefulness.  It also encourages girls to seek fulfillment in the professional world and to become active citizens in their communities.  Since 1912, the Girl Scouts has grown into the largest educational organization for girls and has had over 50 million members.  Low died in 1927.  This year, the Girl Scouts celebrate their 100th Anniversary, calling 2012 “The Year of the Girl.”</p>
<p>Toni Morrison</p>
<p>One of our nation’s most celebrated novelists, Morrison is renowned for works such as Song of Solomon, Jazz, and Beloved, for which she won a Pulitzer Prize in 1988.  When she became the first African American woman to win a Nobel Prize in 1993, Morrison’s citation captured her as an author “who in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality.”  She created the Princeton Atelier at Princeton University to convene artists and students.  Morrison continues to write today.</p>
<p>Shimon Peres</p>
<p>An ardent advocate for Israel&#8217;s security and for peace, Shimon Peres was elected the ninth President of Israel in 2007.  First elected to the Knesset in 1959, he has served in a variety of positions throughout the Israeli government, including in twelve Cabinets as Foreign Minister, Minister of Defense, and Minister of Transport and Communications.  Peres served as Prime Minister from 1984-1986 and 1995-1996.  Along with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and then-PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat, Peres won the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize for his work as Foreign Minister during the Middle East peace talks that led to the Oslo Accords. Through his life and work, he has strengthened the unbreakable bonds between Israel and the United States.</p>

<p>Welcome to the Alphabet series! Every other week we will be tackling a letter of the alphabet and connecting that letter with a physical, emotional and/or spiritual ailment that impacts us individually and as a community. We will gather as many recipes, rituals, remedies and resources as we can to support the healing of these ailments.  This is not by any means a comprehensive list, but a working list of possible things that can reinforce and engage healing. Please be sure to consult your doctor/practitioner/spiritual guide/intuition before using and as you use any of these therapies. We are all different and respond uniquely to various healing methods. Its important to only use what is meant for you specifically. We started of the series with A is for Anger…Lets continue with the letter B. B is for Burnout. </p>
<p>“Caring for myself is not self indulgence. It is self preservation-that is an act of political warfare.”<br />
&#8211; Audre Lorde</p>
<p>Regardless of whether you are smart, rich, experienced, naiive, supported by tons of people, a lone strong warrior, young, old,  Buddha-like, a strategiest, an activist, unemployed, or in your dream job, YOU CAN EXPERIENCE BURNOUT!!!! Burnout syndrome affects people across race, age, class, gender, sexuality, and work industry. Ofcourse certain jobs, practices, lifestyles are more prone to burnout. But it is important to recognize that burnout is something that impacts us all. Recognizing this truth allows us to be more conscious of signs when they arise in us or around us.</p>
<p>Burnout is often confused with stress. Unlike stress, burnout is a consistent and prolonged state of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual exhaustion caused by constant exposure to stressful demands. It is the result of persistent stress over a long period of time.<br />
Stress vs. Burnout<br />
Stress</p>
<p>Burnout<br />
Characterized by overengagement 	Characterized by disengagement<br />
Emotions are overreactive 	Emotions are blunted<br />
Produces urgency and hyperactivity 	Produces helplessness and hopelessness<br />
Loss of energy 	Loss of motivation, ideals, and hope<br />
Leads to anxiety disorders 	Leads to detachment and depression<br />
Primary damage is physical 	Primary damage is emotional<br />
May kill you prematurely 	May make life seem not worth living<br />
Source:Stress and Burnout in Ministry</p>
<p>Burnout is a disease!! and like a lot of diseases, it is contagious!! If you are someone who does not prioritize healing in your life and burnout has become a default mode of functioning, think about all the spaces you occupy on a daily basis and how these spaces are impacted by your burnout state. Think about your friends, family members, children, parents, colleagues, neighbors, partners, and community members. How you are feeling impacts them. On the flip side, if you are in stressful environments, jobs and/or relationships that are prone to burnout breakouts, you could easily be a bystander caught in the fire.</p>
<p>Sadly, we have not been given adequate tools to recognize the signs and symptoms and practice prevention and sustainable and intentional healing. Even sadder, burnout has become a badge of honor to legitimize people and prove that  folks are doing “good work”. These unhealthy beliefs build dangerous and unhealthy patterns,  clouding our ability to lead full, healthy, fulfilling, and nourishing lives. Luckily, burnout does not have to be a  barrier, it can be a blessing, helping you to listen to parts of your self that need to speak.</p>
<p>POTENTIAL INGREDIENTS, WHAT CAUSES BURNOUT? </p>
<p>    * Prolonged physical, mental, emotional and spiritual exhaustion<br />
    * Stressful jobs with unclear and/or unrealistic job expectations, dysfunctional power dynamics, lack of control, disconnect in values<br />
    * Stressful relationships that are co-dependent, abusive, unfulfilling, unreciprocal<br />
    * Not knowing how to listen to or name your needs<br />
    * Trauma<br />
    * Oppression<br />
    * Self judgment and rejection, feeling like nothing is ever good enough, you are never good enough<br />
    * Cultural, societal and generational messages about burnout<br />
    * Abuse<br />
    * Taking on too many responsibilities<br />
    * Perfectionist tendencies</p>
<p>PHYSICAL, SPIRITUAL, EMOTIONAL MANIFESTATIONS<br />
Physically: People may experience physical exhaustion that is prolonged over time. Feeling incredibly tired and not having the will to get up or move through the day, inability to sleep, getting sick a lot, muscle aches, headaches, migraines, loss of appetite, weight gain.<br />
Emotionally: Folks may feel a loss in motivation, internalized oppression, pessimism about everything, decreased sense of accomplisment, detachment, cynicism, helplessness.<br />
Spiritually: People may show withdrawal from relationship to oneself and/or source of power, isolation,  inability to connect to oneself and to others.<br />
Here are a few Burnout self-tests to see where you are on the spectrum</p>
<p>    * Burnout Self Test from Mind Tools<br />
    * Mayo Clinic Burnout Questions<br />
    * Burnout Scale from American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) </p>
<p>RECIPES AND REMEDIES </p>
<p>    * Use clary sage and lavendar essential oils over a prolonged period of time. You can apply it on your body or burn it on an aromatherapy vessel.<br />
    * Daily doses of the flower remedy Walnut has been shown to decrease stress and in turn help heal burnout.<br />
    * Ingesting siberian ginseng in tablet form or tincture form.<br />
    * Acupressure and acupuncture<br />
    * Use reflexology to locate major points on the hands and feet that support relaxation and stress reduction.<br />
    * Healing baths with epson salt and lavendar<br />
    * Relaxing breathing exercises<br />
    * Sleep at least 6-8 hours a day<br />
    * Yoga<br />
    * Eliminate any stressors in your life<br />
    * Take yourself out on a healing date<br />
    * “Just say ‘no’. Setting boundaries early with others should not be considered walls, but paths to your sanity.”<br />
    * Adopt healthy eating habits</p>
<p>If you are in a job that has high burnout factor, here are some helpful tips from the ACLU </p>
<p>   1. Create a group culture / ethos that supports self-care, balance and sustainable work loads and patterns.<br />
   2. Take a long-term perspective of planning and working for the long haul, to keep experienced / skilled group members for as long as possible<br />
   3. Balance task focus with process and relationship / maintenance focus – in meetings, in daily work, in planning, and in evaluation<br />
   4. Provide workshops / training in stress management and burnout prevention – can be as part of conferences, gatherings or ongoing training / orientation.<br />
   5. Use regular planning and evaluation as a tool to reduce stress<br />
   6. Build stress level checks into reviews and evaluations – how stressed do people feel? What is contributing? What do we need to do about these?<br />
   7. Put stress prevention strategies on the agenda for meetings.<br />
   8. Allow people to express feelings of distress, grief and loss and frustration – regard them as normal and healthy responses to unhealthy situations and state of the world.<br />
   9. Provide individual or group debriefing after critical incidents or high stress campaigns. Keep an eye open for vulnerable individuals and see intervention as valid.<br />
  10. Create support structures, eg supervision, mentoring, support / affinity groups, larger group workshops.<br />
  11. Put value on socialising, fun, humour, relaxation time as a group.</p>
<p>RITUALS </p>
<p>    * Begin and end your day with relaxing breathing exercises and meditation.<br />
    * Write down positive affirmations for yourself and place them in spaces where you will see them on a regular basis.<br />
    * Create a vision board that clearly defines what you want your life to look like.<br />
    * Do a letting go ritual to release anything in your life that is causing you burn</p>

<a href="http://www.soularbliss.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/anger.jpg"><img title="anger" src="http://www.soularbliss.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/anger-300x216.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="216" /></a></p>

<p>Welcome to the Alphabet series! Every other week we will be tackling a letter of the alphabet and connecting that letter with a physical, emotional and/or spiritual ailment that impacts us individually and as a community. We will gather as many recipes, rituals, remedies and resources as we can to support the healing of these ailments.  This is not by any means a comprehensive list, but a working list of possible things that can reinforce and engage healing. Please be sure to consult your doctor/practitioner/spiritual guide/intuition before using any of these therapies. We are all different and respond uniquely to various healing methods. Its important to only use what is meant for you specifically. Lets kick things off with the letter A. A is for Anger!!!</p>
<p>“And true, sometimes it seems that anger alone keeps me alive; it burns with a bright and undiminished flame. Yet anger, like guilt, is an incomplete form of human knowledge. More useful than hatred, but still limited. Anger is useful to help clarify our differences, but in the long run, strength that is bred by anger alone is a blind force which cannot create the future. It can only demolish the past. Such strength does not focus on what lies ahead, but upon what lies behind, upon what created it – hatred. And hatred is a deathwish for the hated, not a lifewish for anything else.”</p>
<p>~Audre Lorde</p>
<p>We are all recipients and givers of anger. To feel anger is normal and a natural expression of emotion. Anger, used effectively, can be an incredible atlas of discovery. It can help us uncover unhealthy patterns, highlight areas in our lives that need change,  open us up to stand up for ourselves and our communities and help us release parts of ourselves that have been clogged down. On the flip side, anger can be a beaaasssstt!!! Allowed to run rampant,  it can manifest violently in our physical and spiritual selves and cause damaging rippling effects in our relationships with friends, family, strangers and the earth. The trick to making anger work for us, is to find a balance of expressing anger without causing harm to yourself and/or others. How do we do that? Well, It helps to start from the root of what causes our anger and work our way up, picking up answers along the way.</p>
<p>Potential Ingredients: What causes Anger? </p>
<p>    * Unaddressed emotions<br />
    * Frustration<br />
    * Your loud ass neighbor who refuses to respect silence<br />
    * Stressful environments ie people, workspaces, relationships, living spaces<br />
    * Change that feels out of our control<br />
    * Oppression<br />
    * Unforgiveness of yourself and/or others<br />
    * Abuse<br />
    * Physical, emotional and/or spiritual pain<br />
    * Not feeling heard/seen<br />
    * Any part of you being disrespected<br />
    * Self judgement<br />
    * Self rejection<br />
    * Cultural and societal messages about anger<br />
    * Biased information processing<br />
    * Fear<br />
    * Adrenal release</p>
<p>Physical and Spiritual manifestations</p>
<p>Anger can manifest in any number of ways. Physically, people may experience headaches, dizziness, stomach aches, rapid heart beat, pain in isolated parts of the body, sweating. I personally experience hot ears and sweat palms. If I’m  hella angry, I have a hard time articulating my thoughts. People may also notice that they begin to pace, speak aggressively, act abrasively, raise their voice, feel anxious. Spiritually, folks might feel ungrounded, unbalanced, chaotic and foggy. Some folks might feel a deep sense of clarity. Its important to note that that these physical manifestations can also be indications of other emotional, physical and/or spiritual issues. Everybody’s expression of anger is different. Whats most important is that when anger arises, its important to pay attention to how your body physically expresses and stores it. It is important that we deal with our anger so that it does not escalate to place that is destructive to ourselves or others. If you find yourself experiencing difficulty breathing, chest pain, hurting yourself or another person, getting into verbal and physical fights, it is important to seek the help of a professional who can support your healing.</p>
<p>Recipes &#038; Remedies </p>
<p>    * Steep 1/2 teaspoon of chamomile and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped cilantro leaves in hot water for 10 minutes. Allow the tea to cool, strain and sip slowly.<br />
    * Reduce and/or eliminate sugar in your diet. Healthy fruits and vegetables can help regulate moods.<br />
    * Rose essential oil has been a successful treatment for anger. Inhale it directly from a bottle or put a few drops on the pulse points of your wrist. You can also add a few drops in a candle diffuser and burn it in your preferred space.<br />
    * Another helpful essential oil is sandalwood. Dab a drop of it on the middle of your forehead, throat, breastbone, temple, and wrists.<br />
    * Use guided imagery to imagine yourself expressing your anger to the person or thing you are annoyed with<br />
    * Listen to relaxing and calming music.<br />
    * Practice a breathing meditation for at least 10 minutes, certain forms of pranayama are particularly helpful<br />
    * Make an anger chili.<br />
    * LET IT OUT!!!!Find a productive way to express your anger;  dance, writing, singing, being a part of an organizing campaign for change, visual art, screaming at the top of your lungs, beating a punching bag etc<br />
    * Come up with a safe and effective action plan to implement when you get angry. Identify ways you can be proactive rather than reactive.<br />
    * As a community, it is important to support folks dealing with anger with as much compassion and non-judgement as possible.</p>
<p>Rituals</p>
<p>    * Practice a letting go ritual to release anger that is being destructive in your life.<br />
    * Create time and space with a friend and/or community to share the source of your anger.<br />
    * Participate in a grieving ritual. The root of a lot of anger we experience is deeply connected to unacknowledged and unresolved grief. The better we are at grieving, the less likely anger arising from this greif can have a negative impact on our lives.</p>

<p>A US-Libya Business Association (USLBA) delegation headed by US Assistant Secretary of State for Economic and Business Affairs Jose Fernandez arrived in Libya yesterday at the start of a five-day visit focusing on trade and investment.</p>
<p>The delegation includes 37 representatives from 20 US companies and organizations which represent a range of sectors including healthcare, education administration, training, energy, construction, logistics, infrastructure, construction support, vehicles and equipment, transportation, public safety, agriculture, public relations and telecommunications.</p>
<p>While in Libya, the delegation will travel to Tripoli and Benghazi to meet with senior Libyan national and local government officials, including Prime Minister Abdurrahim Al-Kib. The delegation will participate in events with private business groups from Tripoli, Misrata and Benghazi to discuss national priorities in the rebuilding of the country.</p>
<p>They will also participate in two major trade shows for the oil and gas and infrastructure industries, which are taking place in Tripoli.</p>
<p>The delegation is joined by US Ambassador to Libya Gene Cretz.</p>
<p>“We are very grateful to US Ambassador Gene Cretz and the entire US embassy team in Libya,” said USLBA Executive Director Chuck Dittrich.</p>
<p>“Ambassador Cretz has been a driving force in involving the US private sector in the rebuilding of Libya. Without his leadership and the dedication of his team, this delegation visit would not have been possible. We are excited to be here and look forward to a very productive week.”</p>
<p>American business sees Libya as an important potential economic partner. “In the short term, in addition to the energy sector, the country offers opportunities for companies in the vocational training, healthcare and infrastructure sectors, and in the long term, opportunities in tourism development, financial services and banking, construction, agriculture and the digital economy,” said Dittrich in a press statement.</p>
<p>“Among all of those with whom we’ve had an opportunity to meet here in Libya, we’ve found that American technology, entrepreneurship and creativity are met with a warm welcome. Long-term partnerships and collaborative new ventures, especially among emerging young business leaders in Libya are being formed, and we see vast opportunities to strengthen US-Libya economic ties now and in the future.”</p>
<p>Dittrich was upbeat about Libyan progress.</p>
<p>“While much press coverage about Libya is focused on the historic political transition to representative government now underway, it ignores the underlying fact that Libya is already in the process of building a new economy focused on the nation’s private sector,” he said.</p>
<p>“Among the keys to generating and sustaining private sector growth, job creation and diversifying the economy is putting in place institutions and policies focused on governance, transparency, accountability, rule of law, property rights and access to finance.”</p>
<p>There is, he said “an energy and a true sense of optimism that day by day, things are moving forward”.</p>
<p>The challenge, he believed, would be “to create government institutions that allow an independent business community to keep growing to create the jobs necessary to move from an economy that is still reliant on public subsidies”.</p>

<p>Gantz says the international pressure on Iran, in the form of diplomatic and economic sanctions, is beginning to bear fruit. By Amos Harel Tags: Iran IDF Benny Gantz Gaza Hezbollah</p>
<p>&#8220;If Iran goes nuclear it will have negative dimensions for the world, for the region, for the freedom of action Iran will permit itself,&#8221; Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz told Haaretz in an Independence Day interview.</p>
<p>That freedom of action might be expressed &#8220;against us, via the force Iran will project toward its clients: Hezbollah in Lebanon, Islamic Jihad in Gaza. And there&#8217;s also the potential for an existential threat. If they have a bomb, we are the only country in the world that someone calls for its destruction and also builds devices with which to bomb us. But despair not. We are a temperate state. The State of Israel is the strongest in the region and will remain so. Decisions can and must be made carefully, out of historic responsibility but without hysteria,&#8221; Gantz said.</p>
<p>Both 2012 and 2013 are seen as critical with regard to Iran&#8217;s nuclear program. At his rare public appearances Gantz has taken a cautious approach to the issue &#8211; mentioning the military option, whose development and preparation he oversees, while leaving the door open to international negotiations with Iran. His language is far from the dramatic rhetoric of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and is usually free of the Holocaust comparisons of which Israeli politicians are so fond.</p>
<p>Asked whether 2012 is also decisive for Iran, Gantz shies from the term. &#8220;Clearly, the more the Iranians progress the worse the situation is. This is a critical year, but not necessarily &#8216;go, no-go.&#8217; The problem doesn&#8217;t necessarily stop on December 31, 2012. We&#8217;re in a period when something must happen: Either Iran takes its nuclear program to a civilian footing only or the world, perhaps we too, will have to do something. We&#8217;re closer to the end of the discussions than the middle.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gantz says the international pressure on Iran, in the form of diplomatic and economic sanctions, is beginning to bear fruit. &#8220;I also expect that someone is building operational tools of some sort, just in case. The military option is the last chronologically but the first in terms of its credibility. If it&#8217;s not credible it has no meaning. We are preparing for it in a credible manner. That&#8217;s my job, as a military man.&#8221;</p>
<p>Iran, Gantz says, &#8220;is going step by step to the place where it will be able to decide whether to manufacture a nuclear bomb. It hasn&#8217;t yet decided whether to go the extra mile.&#8221;</p>
<p>As long as its facilities are not bomb-proof, &#8220;the program is too vulnerable, in Iran&#8217;s view. If the supreme religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wants, he will advance it to the acquisition of a nuclear bomb, but the decision must first be taken. It will happen if Khamenei judges that he is invulnerable to a response. I believe he would be making an enormous mistake, and I don&#8217;t think he will want to go the extra mile. I think the Iranian leadership is composed of very rational people. But I agree that such a capability, in the hands of Islamic fundamentalists who at particular moments could make different calculations, is dangerous.&#8221;</p>
<p>About three months ago Gantz&#8217;s U.S. counterpart, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, visited Israel as his guest. &#8220;We speak a great deal with the Americans. It&#8217;s not on the level of a discussion, where I want something concrete and he forbids it. We are partners. We and the United States have a large common alignment of interests and relations, but America looks at America and Israel [looks at] Israel. We aren&#8217;t two oceans away from the problem &#8211; we live here with our civilians, our women and our children, so we interpret the extent of the urgency differently. America says its piece openly, and what it says in the media is also said behind closed doors. It cannot be translated into lights, red or green, because no one is asking them anything in that regard.&#8221;</p>
<p>Critical decisions</p>
<p>Gantz knows that in the event of another war he will face time pressures as a result of enemy operations against the home front. The IDF will have to bring massive force to bear from the outset, employing most of the means at its disposal quickly and without hesitation or delay.</p>
<p>Ground operations, long-distance fire and in-depth operations as well?</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t pretend to determine that now. I am preparing for full deployment of our capabilities. The political leadership will have to take courageous, painful decisions. There are a certain number of critical decisions in a war. The chief of staff makes about 10 of these in his sphere of responsibility in wartime, and the political leadership makes about half this number.&#8221;</p>
<p>These decisions, Gantz knows, will be made under a barrage of rockets and missiles against civilian areas.</p>
<p>In light of the Arab Spring, Israel&#8217;s military preparedness must now include a much greater and more varied range of arenas and possibilities.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what will happen in Syria, but presumably the Golan Heights won&#8217;t be as quiet as before. I cannot remove Syria from the military equation, nor Lebanon. I assume that if there are terror threats from the Golan or Lebanon I&#8217;ll have to take action. I cannot do everything by &#8216;stand-off&#8217; [remote]. The enemy&#8217;s fire capabilities have developed at every distance, four or five times what they were in the Second Lebanon War and four or five times compared to the Gaza Strip before Operation Cast Lead, not to mention the new ground-to-air missile in Syria. I go to sleep with the understanding that what we did in the recent long and comprehensive exercises could happen in reality.&#8221;</p>
<p>The IDF is also being used as a battlefield for the cultural and political wars of outside forces. The latest skirmish followed Gantz&#8217;s dismissal of Lt. Col. Shaul Eisner, deputy commander of the IDF&#8217;s Jordan Valley brigade, for hitting a left-wing activist from Denmark in the face with a rifle. Gantz terms the political interference in the affair a disaster.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t see anyone benefiting from this story. I made my decision, and it&#8217;s behind me. I don&#8217;t understand what the right is defending, what the left is attacking. Who turned it into a political matter? Do you have to be a religious right-winger with a kippah in order to be resolute? Do you have to be a leftist in order to be principled? Where did that idiocy come from? Eisner made a professional error and a specific ethical mistake.&#8221;</p>
<p>The interview with Gantz took place right after additional videos of the incident were made public, showing Eisner hitting additional left-wing activists.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t like even the first blow I saw. I will not cover for people so that others will say I backed them up. The lieutenant colonel erred and failed, and it&#8217;s done and dusted. We are an army that uses force, not violence.&#8221;</p>
<p>Measured, thoughtful and practical</p>
<p>With regard to another delicate issue, Gantz says he believes the IDF could draft more ultra-Orthodox men if an alternative to the Tal Law, recently overturned by the High Court of Justice, can be found.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s for the politicians to decide. What I&#8217;m looking for is equality in service,&#8221; he says.</p>
<p>The end of his predecessor&#8217;s assignment was tarnished by the so-called Harpaz affair, in which Lt. Col. Boaz Harpaz allegedly forged a document in a bid to keep Yoav Galant from being appointed chief of staff. Gantz received the draft report of the State Comptroller&#8217;s Office on the affair last month. When the final version is issued Gantz will face career decisions about several figures connected to the affair, including Col. Erez Weiner, aide to former Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi.</p>
<p>Gantz believes it is important that the final version be issued before State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss ends his term, at the beginning of July.</p>

<p>Published on Apr 24, 2012 by RTAmerica<br />
Abby Martin of Media Roots and Russia Today reports&#8230;</p>
<p>Mumia Abu Jamal is an African American writer, journalist and activist whose infamous prison case has sparked international outrage for decades.</p>
<p>In 1981, Mumia was charged with first degree murder for allegedly killing a police officer, but many have disputed the evidence that put him behind bars and demand for him to be re-tried.</p>
<p>He has spent the last 29 years of his life on death row, but in January of this year the sentence was reduced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.</p>
<p>At the &#8220;Occupy the Justice&#8221; rally in Washington DC, Abby Martin of RT spoke with protesters who gathered in solidarity with the Occupy Movement to &#8220;Occupy the Justice Department&#8221; on Mumia&#8217;s 58th birthday.</p>
<p>Hundreds rallied in front of the Department of Justice to call attention to not only Mumia&#8217;s case, but also to the inequalities of the US justice system, the privatization of the prison industry and to end mass incarceration in the US, where currently one out of every 100 Americans are in jail.</p>
<p>People have long used Mumia&#8217;s case to lobby attention to the inherent corruption and racial inequality in the American prison system.</p>
<p>Mumia supporter Matthew Johnson equated the racial injustice surrounding Mumia Abu Jamal to the controversial case of the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. &#8220;It&#8217;s the whole idea that if you&#8217;re black, you&#8217;re somehow more dangerous than a white person. [In the case of Trayvon] you&#8217;re carrying iced tea and Skittles and wearing a hoodie and somehow you&#8217;re a threat to a man who weighs 60 pounds more than you who has a gun. It just wouldn&#8217;t happen the other way around.&#8221;</p>
<p>He continues to explain that this particular case needs to be broadened in the context of social justice for everyone, regardless of color or creed.</p>
<p>Some came to protest more generally what they called the prison industrial complex, in which government and corporations collude to keep the private prisons occupied to capacity with prisoners. Activist Kevin Price elaborates on the growing trend of for profit prisons. &#8220;As violent crime rates have fallen and imprisonment rates have skyrocketed, it just doesn&#8217;t make sense unless you are looking at [the issue] in the context of for profit incarceration,&#8221; he says.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Global Reaseach<br />
By Sherwood Ross on April 24, 2012</p>
<p><img id="main-img" title="... Obama pursues former George Bush administration’s Global War agenda" src="http://thetruthorthefight.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/208641-barack-obama-george-bush.jpg?w=700" alt="Image Detail" width="399" height="331" /></p>
<p>President Barak Obama and former President George W. Bush</p>
<p>U.S. plans to attack Iran with a mix of nuclear and conventional weapons have been in readiness since June, 2005, according to Michel Chossudovsky. a distinguished authority on international affairs.</p>
<p>&#8220;Confirmed by military documents as well as official statements, both the U.S. and Israel contemplate the use of nuclear weapons directed against Iran,&#8221; writes professor Michel Chossudovsky, Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization in Montreal.</p>
<p>The plans were formulated in 2004. The previous year, Congress gave the Pentagon the green light to use thermo-nuclear weapons in conventional war theaters in the Middle East and Central Asia, allocating $6 billion in 2004 alone to create the new generation of &#8220;defensive&#8221; tactical nuclear weapons or &#8220;mini-nukes&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;In 2005, Vice President Dick Cheney ordered USSTRATCOM (Strategic Command) to draft a &#8216;contingency plan&#8217; that included &#8220;a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons,&#8221; Chossudovsky writes. The plan went beyond the terms of reference outlined in the Pentagon’s 2001 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR),  which called for a &#8220;preemptive&#8221; &#8220;first strike use&#8221; of nuclear weapons against Russia and China as well as Iran and North Korea.</p>
<p>The 2005 plan identified more than 450 strategic targets in Iran, including numerous alleged nuclear-weapons-program development sites. The plan, incredibly, was rationalized on a second 9/11 type attack on the US that Cheney believed Iran would allegedly support!</p>
<p>&#8220;President Obama has largely endorsed the doctrine of pre-emptive use of nuclear weapons formulated by the previous administration,&#8221; Chossudovsky writes in his new book, &#8220;Towards a World War III Scenario: The Dangers of Nuclear War&#8221; (Global Research, 2012). His Administration &#8220;has also intimated it will use nukes in the event of an Iran response to an Israeli attack on Iran.&#8221;</p>
<p>Chossudovsky points out, &#8220;The new nuclear doctrine turns concepts and realities upside down. It not only denies the devastating impacts of nuclear weapons, it states, in no uncertain terms, that nuclear weapons are &#8216;safe&#8217; and their use in the battlefield will ensure &#8216;minimal collateral damage and reduce the probability of escalation.&#8217; The issue of radioactive fallout is not even acknowledged with regard to tactical nuclear weapons, neither is the issue of ‘Nuclear Winter’.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What is unfolding (in Iran) is the outright legitimization of war in the name of an illusive notion of global security. America’s mini-nukes, with an explosive capacity of up to six times a Hiroshima bomb, are upheld as a &#8216;humanitarian&#8217; bomb, whereas Iran&#8217;s nonexistent nuclear weapons are branded as an indisputable threat to global security,&#8221; Chossudovsky writes.</p>
<p>He points out that a U.S.-Israeli strike against Iran would probably not be limited to Iran’s nuclear facilities but likely would be &#8220;an all-out air attack on both military and civilian infrastructure, transport systems, factories and public buildings.&#8221;</p>
<p>Employed would be &#8220;the entire gamut of new advanced weapons systems, including electro-metric weapons and environmental modification techniques (ENMOD),&#8221; Chossudovsky writes.</p>
<p>He notes that the U.S. has stepped up its military shipments to Israel, its NATO allies, and to countries bordering Iran. Israel in 2004 took shipment of the first of 500 U.S.-made BLU 109 &#8220;bunker buster&#8221; bombs, and the U.S. has supplied thermonuclear bombs to Belgium, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Turkey, and Great Britain. Turkey alone, a partner in the U.S. anti-Iran coalition, has 90 thermonuclear B61 bombs at its Incirlik nuclear air base.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is not Iran and North Korea which are a threat to global security by the United States of America and Israel,&#8221; he adds. What’s more, Western European governments have joined the bandwagon and &#8220;have endorsed the U.S.-led military initiative against Iran.&#8221;</p>
<p>He goes on to say, &#8220;At no point since the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, has humanity been closer to the unthinkable &#8212; a nuclear holocaust which could potentially spread in terms of radioactive fallout over a large part of the Middle East.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>10 Reasons Why Corporations Aren’t People<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> People generally pay their annual income taxes.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> People generally don’t have spreadsheets in place of a soul.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> People generally have to make their own breakfast, wipe their own  asses, and drive themselves to work in a vehicle that’s cheaper than the  mini bar on a corporate jet.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> People can show their faces in public without the fear of being bludgeoned by custard pies.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> People don’t usually consider themselves a native of the Dutch Antilles for tax purposes.</p>
<p>6.   People don’t generally dump chemicals into their drinking water and sell their coworkers to Vietnam.</p>
<p>7.   People generally don’t eat caviar out the anus of a Michelangelo statue for breakfast during an economic recession.</p>
<p>8.   People generally don’t forget how many pieces of real estate they own.</p>

<div>Clark with Ryan Seacrest (Bryan Bedder/DCP/Getty Images for DCP)</div>
<p>Dick Clark died earlier today. The famed TV producer was 82.Paul Shefrin, a rep for the entertainment legend, told <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/dick-clark-entertainment-icon-nicknamed-americas-oldest-teenager/story?id=16076252" target="_blank">ABC News</a> his client suffered a &#8220;massive heart attack.&#8221; According to <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/04/18/dick-clark-dead-heart-attack/" target="_blank">TMZ</a>,  Clark was at St. John’s hospital in Los Angeles for an outpatient  procedure when the heart attack occurred. Attempts to resuscitate him  were unsuccessful.</p>
<p>The Mount Vernon, N.Y., native, who was born Richard Wagstaff Clark,  became a breakout star after being tapped to host “American Bandstand,”  an afternoon dance show for teenagers, which debuted nationally in 1957.  Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin and the Jackson 5 were just some of the big  acts featured on the hit show, though he reportedly regretted not  booking The Beatles. Clark, went on to form his own production company  and put out many popular shows, from the hidden camera series &#8220;TV&#8217;s  Bloopers and Practical Jokes&#8221; to game show &#8220;$25,000 Pyramid.&#8221; He also  produced many TV award shows, including the Golden Globes.</p>
<p>[Related: <a href="http://yhoo.it/Iz8Me2" target="_blank">Dick Clark’s ‘Rockin’ New Year’s Eve’ just turned 40</a>]</p>
<p>In 1972, he hosted &#8220;Dick Clark&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Rockin&#8217; Eve&#8221; for the first  time, helping Americans countdown to midnight as the ball dropped in New  York&#8217;s Times Square. He continued to helm the special until 2004 when  he suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed and unable to  speak. After Regis Philbin stood in for him the first year, Clark, who  was also diabetic, passed the baton to &#8220;American Idol&#8221; host Ryan  Seacrest and, after recovering, made an annual appearance to address the  audience.</p>
<p>[Related: <a href="http://yhoo.it/HR7YAl" target="_blank">Dick Clark's Rocking Malibu Retreat for Sale</a>]</p>
<p>Clark&#8217;s first time back in 2006, he had the same boyish spirit people  had grown to know. Although he clearly struggled with his speech,  sounding hoarse and sometimes indecipherable, he candidly addressed the  audience, saying: &#8220;Last year I had a stroke. It left me in bad shape. I  had to teach myself how to walk and talk again. It&#8217;s been a long, hard  fight. My speech is not perfect but I&#8217;m getting there.&#8221; Noting, &#8220;I  wouldn&#8217;t have missed this for the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>Following the news of Clark&#8217;s death, Seacrest offered condolences. &#8220;I  am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend Dick Clark, he <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/RyanSeacrest/status/192710906034126848" target="_blank">tweeted</a>. &#8220;He has truly been one of the greatest influences in my life. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other celebrities expressed their sadness over the passing of Clark  as well. Jenny McCarthy, who appeared on &#8220;Dick Clark&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s  Rockin&#8217; Eve,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/JennyMcCarthy/status/192703948774318080" target="_blank">tweeted</a>: “RIP dick Clark. You were amazing to work with. U will be missed. Xxxoo.” Joan Rivers chimed in, <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/Joan_Rivers/status/192707954460467200" target="_blank">writing</a>:  “Very sad to hear about Dick Clark. What a great life. What a great  career. Relevant until the end. He will be missed!” Even Snoop Dogg  remembered the TV man, <a href="https://twitter.com/#%21/SnoopDogg/status/192704512333578240" target="_blank">posting</a>: “REST IN PEACE to the DICK CLARK!! U were pioneer n a good man!! Thank u sir.”</p>

Guest: <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-macaray" target="_blank">David Macaray,</a> author of <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-macaray/they-want-to-privatize-th_b_1422514.html" target="_blank">&#8220;They Want to Privatize the World.&#8221;</a> David is a playwright, labor columnist and author <a href="http://www.amazon.com/NEVER-BEEN-EASY-David-Macaray/dp/0982531427" target="_blank">(It&#8217;s Never Been Easy: Essays on Modern Labor)</a>, whose labor and entertainment articles have appeared in such periodicals as the LA Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, NY Press, Beckett Monthly, Utne Reader, as well CounterPunch and CommonDreams.</p>
<p>David&#8217;s anti-privatization rant resonates with me. I ran for Congress as a Libertarian, but I don&#8217;t agree with the Libertarians who want to privatize everything. To me, &#8220;libertarian&#8221; means <em>making <strong>freedom</strong> the basis, i.e. the most deeply-held value, of society</em>. And I think people are far more free when there is lots of public land where they can hike and bike, than where all the land is privatized and fenced off; when roads and paths are toll-free; when they can drink public water rather than bottled water; when they can use bridges and parks and libraries and educational and basic medical care facilities gratis rather than having to pay user fees. In other words, having some form of taxation (or better yet, more-or-less-universal voluntary charity) that covers these things, and putting limits on the domain of homo economicus, is the way to maximize freedom. To me, a world in which everything is privatized &#8211; including the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the land we walk on &#8211; would be just another Orwellian dystopia. Take THAT, Ayn Rand cultists!</p>
<p>And as a fanatical enemy of bottled water &#8211; the perfect symbol of privatization making everything worse &#8211; I was glad to see David&#8217;s evidence that it&#8217;s actually less healthy than tap water. </p>

<p>Buffalo Springfield &#8211; For What It&#8217;s Worth, (1967, Bandstand, el Hollywood Palace, Smothers Brothers).</p>
<p>Buffalo Springfield was a rock group that served as a springboard for the careers of Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Richie Furay and Jim Messina, two of whom played in rock, pop, folk, country and acoustic group Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young later in their career. Buffalo Springfield is best known for the song &#8220;For What It&#8217;s Worth&#8221;. After the band&#8217;s formation in April 1966, a series of disruptions, including infighting and the pressure of working in the music industry, resulted in constant changes in the group&#8217;s lineup and ultimately culminated in the group&#8217;s disbanding after roughly 25 months. Buffalo Springfield released a total of three albums but left many demo recordings, studio outtakes and live recordings, as well as a reputation for excellent personnel and high band dysfunction.[1] Despite the band&#8217;s short tenure and relatively limited output it was one of the most influential bands of the 1960s, with virtually all members going on to successful careers and with two (Stills and Young) reaching the top of rock stardom.</p>

<p>By <a href="http://blogs.reuters.com/search/journalist.php?edition=us&amp;n=kate.kelland&amp;">Kate Kelland   reuters.com</a></p>
<p>LONDON |          Tue Mar 20, 2012 8:03pm EDT</p>
</div>
<p>(Reuters) &#8211; Three new studies published on Wednesday added to growing  scientific evidence suggesting that taking a daily dose of aspirin can  help prevent, and possibly treat, cancer.</p>
<p>Previous studies have found  that daily aspirin reduces the long-term risk of death due to cancer,  but until now the shorter-term effects have been less certain &#8211; as has  the medicine&#8217;s potential in patients already diagnosed with cancer.</p>
<p>The  new studies, led by Peter Rothwell of Britain&#8217;s Oxford University,  found that aspirin also has a short-term benefit in preventing cancer,  and that it reduces the likelihood that cancers will spread to other  organs by about 40 to 50 percent.</p>
<p>&#8220;These  findings add to the case for use of aspirin to prevent cancer,  particularly if people are at increased risk,&#8221; Rothwell said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Perhaps  more importantly, they also raise the distinct possibility that aspirin  will be effective as an additional treatment for cancer &#8211; to prevent  distant spread of the disease.&#8221;</p>
<p>This  was particularly important because it is the process of spread of  cancer, or &#8220;metastasis&#8221;, which most often kills people with the disease,  he added.</p>
<p>Aspirin, originally developed by Bayer, is a cheap over-the-counter drug generally used to combat pain or reduce fever.</p>
<p>The  drug reduces the risk of clots forming in blood vessels and can  therefore protect against heart attacks and strokes, so it is often  prescribed for people who already suffer with heart disease and have  already had one or several attacks.</p>
<p>Aspirin  also increases the risk of bleeding in the stomach to around one  patient in every thousand per year, a factor which has fuelled an  intense debate about whether doctors should advise patients to take it  as regularly as every day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Kevin Dolak and Dana Hughes/Good Morning America 3/19/12<br />
<img title="FILE - In this undated photo, Amelia Earhart, the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean by plane sits on top of a plane. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is wading into one of the 20th century’s most enduring mysteries: the fate of American aviator Amelia Earhart, disappeared over the South Pacific 75 years ago.

<p>In this updated photo, Amelia Earhart, the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean by plane sits on top of a plane. Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton is wading into one of the 20th century&#8217;s most enduring mysteries:  the fate of American aviator Amelia Earhart, disappeared over the South Pacific 75 years ago.</p>
<p>A renewed effort to determine what happened to aviator Amelia Earhart&#8217;s plane when it disappeared over the Pacific 75 years ago is expected to be announced today as a recently discovered photo taken months after she vanished is believed to show her plane&#8217;s landing gear.</p>
<p>The privately funded half-million dollar effort, which is anticipated to begin in July, is expected to be announced by a historical group and the U.S. government.</p>
<p>Analysis of a photo uncovered in 2010 of a plane wreck off the Kiribati islands has led specialists to believe there is a &#8220;possibility&#8221; that the wheel in the grainy photo could be from the airplane the Electra, the plane Earhart flew, a senior State Department official said late Monday night.</p>
<p>The official added that it was enough to warrant exploration but &#8220;a very healthy dose of skepticism must be in play.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re not making any bets,&#8221; the official said, adding that Earhart&#8217;s disappearance remains one of the world&#8217;s greatest unsolved mysteries. &#8220;It&#8217;s not what you find, but what you&#8217;re searching for.&#8221;</p>
<p>The actual picture is not expected to be unveiled until the event and presentation set to take place this morning, which will be attended by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, famed undersea explorer Dr. Robert Ballard and the foreign minister of Kirabati. All three are expected to speak at the event in Washington, D.C.</p>
<p>The &#8220;event will underscore America&#8217;s spirit of adventure and courage, as embodied by Amelia Earhart, and our commitment to seizing new opportunities for cooperation with Pacific neighbors founded on the United States&#8217; long history of engagement in the Asia-Pacific region,&#8221; the State Department said in a statement.</p>
<p>The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, also known as Tighar www.tighar.org, which works on the Kiribati islands, has launched a mission to try and search the area where the picture was taken, and use sophisticated Sonar capabilities to see what might be there.</p>
<p>The State Department and Tighar are also working with undersea explorer Ballard, of Titanic fame, on the project.</p>
<p>The search will focus on the remote Pacific atoll called Nikumaroro, which is approximately half way between Australia and Hawaii, according to the Wall Street Journal.</p>
<p>The deserted island of Nikumaroro, which lies 1,800 miles south of Hawaii, was in the line of Earhart&#8217;s flight path as she flew from New Guinea to Howland Island in July of 1937, when she and navigator Fred Noonan might have gone down during an attempted around-the-world flight.</p>
<p>Tighar champions the theory that the Elektra ended up on the uninhabited Gardner Island, where Amelia landed safely on the island&#8217;s fringing reef, but after a week of distress calls, rising tides and surf swept the Electra over the reef edge. The group believes that Earhart and Noonan lived for a time as castaways and that the aviator died in a makeshift campsite on the island.</p>

<p>The Republican dominated Senate in Georgia is set to consider a bill  that would criminalize union members who engage in picketing.</p>
<p>Picketing is defined as follows:</p>
<p>1. When a person is stationed by a union or the like outside a  factory, store, mine, etc., in order to dissuade or prevent workers or  customers from entering it during a strike.</p>
<p>2. When a person is engaged in any similar demonstration, as against a government’s policies or actions, before an embassy, office building, construction project, etc.</p>
<p>According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, SB 496 would “restrict picketing outside private residences” and would be a misdemeanor offense. The bill “would also require employees to put into writing every year that they want to pay union dues or organizational fees through paycheck deductions.”</p>
<p>GOP Senator Don Balfour says the bill doesn’t violate any rights but Fulton County Sheriff Ted Jackson opposes the bill and writes that “this bill poses the potential to further overburden an already stressed prison system and would divert badly-needed resources away from protecting Fulton County’s residents. The role of law enforcement shouldn’t be to police free speech but the intent of this bill seems to be just that. By targeting only protests dealing with labor disputes, you are putting police officers in the difficult position of silencing the voices of Georgians and, in the process, setting us up to face potential lawsuits that would ultimately be paid for by taxpayers. Finally, I believe this bill serves no useful purpose in fighting crime.”</p>
<p>Essentially, Republicans are making it a criminal offense to go on strike and protest in front of your employer’s business. This bill represents yet another attack on the labor unions that protect worker rights. Once again, Republicans take the side of business owners over American workers. </p>

<div id="caption_1323141">Russian riot police of activists and journalists after a mass rally  against Vladimir Putin&#8217;s victory in presidential polls at Moscow&#8217;s  Pushkin square on March 5, 2012.  (JOHN MACDOUGALL/AFP/Getty Images)</div>
<p>MOSCOW, March 6 (Reuters) &#8211; Russian opposition leaders accused Vladimir Putin of changing tactics to crack down on dissent after riot police detained hundreds of protesters challenging the legitimacy of his presidential election victory.<br />
Black-helmeted police hauled away more than 500 people, including several opposition leaders, who attended unsanctioned rallies in Moscow and St Petersburg on Monday or refused to disperse at the end of a rally that had been permitted.<br />
Many including Alexei Navalny, an anti-corruption blogger who has become a leading light of the protest movement, were quickly released but some faced the prospect of receiving short jail sentences on Tuesday.<br />
After three months of protests that passed off peacefully, the police intervention sent a clear signal that Putin is losing patience with the opposition and will crack down if protesters step out of line.<br />
But the restraint shown by most police, even as they bundled protesters into vans, also suggested that Putin is determined not to give his critics the chance to depict him as a dictator ready to suppress any challenge to his authority.<br />
&#8220;The use of force and detention of opposition politicians could have been avoided,&#8221; defeated presidential candidate Mikhail Prokhorov said in a Twitter message late on Monday.<br />
&#8220;It was a peaceful rally. I am outraged by the use of force against people who came to express their views. Today&#8217;s events at Pushkin Square broke the tradition of the recent peaceful protest rallies in the country.&#8221;<br />
Ksenia Sobchak, a television host who has fallen out with Putin, her late father&#8217;s protege, said: &#8220;I was so hoping the regime would show generosity after winning.&#8221;<br />
Witnesses said that although some protesters were hurt, and one said her arm had been broken, officers seemed intent on avoiding casualties at the main protest on Moscow&#8217;s Pushkin Square, often the scene of Soviet-era dissident protests.<br />
But reporters saw police using tougher tactics against a group which tried to protest at Lubyanka Square, in front of the headquarters of the Federal Security Service, successor to the Soviet-era KGB.<br />
The police had told protesters not to attend those rallies which had not been approved by the authorities and prosecutors warned some opposition leaders not to step out of line.</p>
<p>&#8220;EYES OF A DICTATOR&#8221;<br />
The pattern appears clear: Putin will allow a few isolated protests, the place and time of which is agreed with the authorities, as a safety valve for disillusionment with his 12-year domination of Russia among mainly urban demonstrators.<br />
He could also offer some conciliatory gestures to appease the opposition. In one such move, the Kremlin has ordered a review of 32 criminal cases including the jailing of former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky and the refusal to register a liberal opposition group which has been barred from elections.<br />
But Putin, a former KGB spy, will do his utmost to prevent what he regards as more radical protesters undermining his return to the Kremlin for a third term as president after four years as prime minister. Dissent will be dealt with forcefully.<br />
&#8220;We saw fear in the eyes of the dictator. We saw weakness. We saw a man who is unsure of himself,&#8221; Ilya Yashin, an opposition leader, told the rally at Pushkin Square after Putin shed a tear in his victory speech on Sunday.<br />
&#8220;Has war begun? Why have they brought troops into the centre of our capital? Why the riot police? Who does he want to wage war with? Who is he protecting himself against?&#8221;<br />
The U.S. ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, said on Twitter that the arrests were troubling and freedom of assembly and speech were universal values.<br />
Foreign investors fear any confrontation with protesters would set back prospects for economic reforms which they say are needed to reduce Russia&#8217;s dependence on energy exports.</p>
<p>FRAUD ALLEGATIONS<br />
The United States has called for an independent and credible investigation into all allegations of voting irregularities in Sunday&#8217;s election.<br />
Several European countries have also signalled their concern over the allegations of cheating but at the same time underlined a desire to keep working with Russia.<br />
International monitors said there had been some improvements from a parliamentary poll on Dec. 4 which observers said was marred by irregularities, but the vote was still unfair and heavily skewed to favour Putin.<br />
Independent monitoring group Golos said that, based on returns its observers had seen, Putin would have won if there had not been fraud with a bare majority of just over 50 percent. The official tally put him on almost 64 percent. </p>

<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-37767" href="http://noliesradio.org/37606-2/37606-revision-29"><img title="3756875258_koch_industries_xlarge" src="http://addictinginfo.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/3756875258_koch_industries_xlarge.png" alt="" width="300" height="290" /></a></p>
<p>Why are gas prices surging to levels unseen since the 2008 oil spike  while the oil companies reporting record profits? Much of the problem is  actually created by Wall Street traders here in the USA who gamble on  oil prices and powerful multinational companies that manipulate the  supply and demand by stockpiling oil when the price is low and expected  to rise in the near future. And yes, so far this practice is perfectly  legal.</p>
<p>Bart Chilton, a commissioner at the Commodity Futures Trading  Commission (CFTC),  the federal agency that regulates commodity futures  and option trading in the United States, says a very few number of  players control too much of the market, allowing them to push the price  of gas higher and higher. The American public knows very little about  the oil speculation industry because a conservative majority on the CFTC  has refused to implement the mandates from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street  Reform and Consumer Protection Act to curb abuses and provide  transparency.</p>
<p>One of those players is the petrochemical multinational Koch Industries. Although oil extraction is a small part of the Koch’s oil business the company has major control over  every other part of the market as its core venture is shipping crude oil, refining it, distributing it to retailers, then speculating on the future price.  The company actively trades about 50 types of crude oil around the world and has trading operations in London, Geneva, Singapore, Houston, New York, Wichita, Rotterdam, and Mumbai.</p>
<p>When future oil prices are expected to rise–which means when demand is expected to exceed supply–big banks and companies like Koch start buying up oil and storing it in massive containers both on land and offshore to lock in the oil for sale later at a set price.</p>
<p>In 2008, Fortune magazine reported that Koch Supply &amp; Trading leased the 2-million-barrel-capacity Dubai Titan that year, the third supertanker the company has leased, because the demand for oil storage was so high that Koch and other big investors who could not secure storage on land have resorted to leasing supertankers and using them as floating oil tanks.</p>
<p>Koch was one of the companies that lobbied aggressively against President’s financial reform bill-–mentioned above–particularly on provisions related to transparency in the energy trading market. Representatives from the company’s lobbying firm even argued that moderate levels of the toxic chemical dioxin should not be designated as a cancer risk for humans at an EPA hearing last summer.</p>
<p>When we look at the money Koch has spent on lobbying to influence laws and regulations in Washington in recent years–from $857,000 in 2004 to $20 million in 2008–it is not surprising that Koch’s lobbyists and officials have successfully fought to preserve the industry’s tax breaks and credits, and defeated all attempts by Congress to regulate environmental hazards and transparency requirements.</p>
<p>At the beginning of February 2012, Koch and about 300 other-–invitation only–individuals pledged approximately $100 million to defeat President Obama in the 2012 elections at a private meeting in California.  And now at the end of February 2012 we are seeing a distinctive rise in the oil prices at the pump.</p>

</div>
<p>For skeptics of how the American government has conducted its  so-called War on Drugs, don’t worry, it will soon be out of their hands.</p>
<p>The US Department  of Defense has transferred its armed efforts in Latin and Central  America in the War on Drugs to Academi, the private military contractors  formerly known as Blackwater, reports BBC Spanish. Before they altered  their branding to be known as Xe, then most recently Academi, Blackwater  underwent immense criticism for a series of scandals involving contract  employees executing civilians throughout the Middle East.</p>
<p>That  same company that trained contractors to mercilessly slay helpless  Iraqis will now be ushering military contractors south of the border to  help combat the War on Drugs there, the outlet reports. With the  Constitution only legally allowing the Pentagon to get away with so  much, the BBC reports that the transition of control to private  contractors will allow them to get away with what <em>“US military forces are not allowed or not encouraged to do.”</em></p>
<p>The  company previously known as Blackwater is just one of several private  contractors that have been awarded contracts out of the Department of  Defense, reports BBC, and their specific deal will award them several  million dollars towards <em>“providing advice, training and conducting  operations in drug producing countries and those with links to so-called  ‘narco-terrorism’ including Latin America.”</em></p>
<p>What’s more, it  is reported, that those contracts were no-bid agreements authorized by  the Pentagon. Under such deals, the DoD forks over federal funds to  private companies without ever seeking better offers from competitors.</p>
<p>As  long ago as 2007, the Pentagon was considering billions of dollars  worth of contracts to private contractor aid in the War on Drugs, but  the BBC reports that the latest deal will actually aid in the “transfer”  of control out of Washington and instead put the actions of enforcing  drug production and trafficking in the hands of civilians, not  servicemen bound by certain rules and regulations.</p>
<p>Additionally,  the transition will allow the government to usher billions into the War  on Drugs, but to the public it will appear as if the effort is, on the  periphery, nothing more than another DoD contract. Opposition has long  existed to the lengthy War on Drugs, and by continuing the efforts in  Central and South America without relying on further Pentagon  expenditures, less money will appear to be focused on ongoing  operations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Woman&#8217;s Day By Alexandra Gekas</p>
<h2>Load up on health-boosting superfoods that combat breast cancer, heart disease and more</h2>
<p>If you’re tired of reading about must-eat superfoods that are hard to  find—and even harder to pronounce; (hello, açai berry and quinoa)—take  heart: Your pantry may hold more superpowered wonders than you realize!  From chocolate and coffee to red wine and walnuts, the following eight  amazing everyday foods can help improve your health.</p>
<p><strong>Chocolate</strong></p>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<p><img src="http://www.womansday.com/cm/womansday/images/O1/1dark-chocolate-stack-200x258_medium.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="258" /></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Good news for all the chocoholics out there: Cocoa just might be one of  the heart-healthiest foods around! A 2011 Harvard study found that  organic compounds called flavonoids that are contained in cacao (the  bean used to make chocolate) are associated with reduced blood pressure  as well as improved blood vessel health, cholesterol levels and general  blood flow. &#8220;All of these things are protective against heart disease,&#8221;  says Eric Ding, PhD, conductor of the study and a professor of nutrition  and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health. &#8220;But the HDL  findings—the increase in good cholesterol—nobody knew about that until  our study, as well as the improved blood flow.&#8221; As good as that news is,  it’s not a green light to eat any and every chocolate bar you come  across. &#8220;Eighty percent of the chocolate we consume in this country is  not healthy,&#8221; says Joseph Maroon, MD, professor of neurosurgery at the  University of Pittsburgh and author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Longevity-Factor-Resveratrol-Activate-Healthier/dp/1416551085/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1309470373&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">T<em>he Longevity Factor</em></a>.  &#8220;It&#8217;s pure sugar and doesn&#8217;t have the flavonoids in it from the  original cacao tree and bean.&#8221; The experts we spoke to recommend  snacking on two to four squares per day of dark chocolate that has at  least 70% to 75% cacao, because it has more flavonoids. If you&#8217;re not a  chocolate fan, Dr. Ding and Dr. Maroon both recommend taking a 400 to  450 mg cocoa flavonoid supplement in lieu of eating squares. <em>Photo: Martina Vignatelli/iStock</em></p>
<p><strong>Coffee</strong></p>

<p>While coffee has been widely touted for its health benefits, a recent study amounted to a small victory for male coffee drinkers. According to a  2011 Harvard study, coffee consumption has been linked to decreased  rates of prostate cancer. In the study, men who drank six or more cups  of coffee per day were found to have a 20% lower risk of developing  prostate cancer and a 60% lower risk of developing lethal prostate  cancer, according to researcher Lorelei Mucci, PhD, study author and  associate professor of epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public  Health. &#8220;We saw the same lower risk whether the men only drank decaf,  only drank caffeinated or drank both, so it&#8217;s something other than the  caffeine,&#8221; Dr. Mucci says. Though downing six cups of joe every day is  probably too much for most people, rest assured that the study still  found lower rates of prostate cancer in men who only drank one to three  cups per day, compared to those who drank none at all. Get him in the  habit by making a double batch when enjoying your morning brew. Photo: <em>Michael Flippo/iStock</em></p>
<p><strong>Watercress </strong></p>
<div>

</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>While it may not be the most popular leafy green, watercress has been  associated with one very positive health impact for women: It may  inhibit the growth of breast cancer tumors. Though only a small study  was conducted, scientists at England’s University of Southampton  reported in 2011 that a compound in watercress can &#8220;turn off&#8221; the signal  that sends blood flow to a tumor, in essence stopping the tumor in its  tracks. &#8220;All cancers develop new blood vessels, so if you interfere with  the development of new blood vessels, you effectively impede the blood  supply to the tumor,&#8221; Dr. Maroon says. &#8220;A lot of the drugs [that treat  breast cancer] prevent the tumors from making new blood vessels, and in  that way, can slow, impede or eradicate the growth of some tumors.&#8221;  Although more research is needed, it’s safe to assume that adding this  leafy green to your diet, whether as a sandwich topping or in salads,  couldn’t hurt. <em>Photo: Stockbyte/Thinkstock</em></p>
<p><strong>Walnuts </strong></p>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<p><img src="http://www.womansday.com/cm/womansday/images/Ss/4walnuts-on-white-200x258_medium.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="258" /></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Most nuts are recognized as superfoods, thanks to a high concentration  of unsaturated fatty acids, like omega-3s, which help lower cholesterol  and decrease the risk of heart disease. However, a 2011 study indicates that walnuts might be the most super nut of them all.  According to study author Joe Vinson, PhD, professor of chemistry at  Scranton University in Pennsylvania, walnuts contain twice the amount of  antioxidants per ounce as peanuts and almonds, two popular types of  nuts consumed in the U.S. His research found that all nuts in general  were better sources of antioxidants when compared to pure vitamin E (a  type of antioxidant). But when walnuts were compared to peanuts and  almonds, they were found to be better in terms of the &#8220;quality and  quantity of antioxidants.&#8221; According to Kari Kooi, RD, corporate  wellness dietitian at The Methodist Hospital in Houston, that means  walnuts can not only help improve cholesterol levels but also help  manage your weight by providing satisfying heart-healthy fats and  protein. <em>Photo: Thinkstock</em></p>
<p><strong>Olive Oil </strong></p>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<p><img src="http://www.womansday.com/cm/womansday/images/Hf/5olive-oil-bottle-on-white-200x258_medium.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="258" /></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Olive oil has long been associated with the heart-healthy Mediterranean  diet, but it may benefit more than just your ticker. In a 2011 study,  researchers analyzed the olive oil consumption of 7,625 French people  65 or older and found that those whose use of olive oil was &#8220;intensive&#8221;  were 41% less likely to suffer a stroke compared with those who never  consumed olive oil. &#8220;We can&#8217;t infer which aspects of olive oil may  prevent stroke,&#8221; says study author Cécilia Samieri, PhD, a professor of  epidemiology and nutrition at the University of Bordeaux in France.  However, Dr. Samieri says, it’s possible that the oleic acid in olive  oil decreases the absorption of saturated fats—and, ultimately, the  chance of stroke. <em>Photo: Thinkstock</em></p>
<p><strong>Apples</strong></p>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<p><img src="http://www.womansday.com/cm/womansday/images/87/6apple-leaf-on-white-200x258_medium.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="258" /></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>It looks like an apple a day really can keep the doctor away—especially when it comes to heart health. A 2011 study conducted  by researchers at Florida State University compared postmenopausal  women who ate 75 grams of dried apple a day to women who ate other types  of dried fruit. The result? Women who ate the dried apple saw a 23%  drop in their LDL (&#8220;bad&#8221;) cholesterol, as well as a 4% increase in their  HDL (&#8220;good&#8221;) cholesterol. What’s more, the additional 240 calories  derived from the dried apple slices didn&#8217;t cause participants to gain  weight—the apple group actually lost an average of 3.3 lbs over the  course of the year in which the study was conducted. Although dried  apples were used in the study, eating the equivalent amount of fresh  apples is believed to produce similar results. <em>Photo: Stockbyte/Thinkstock</em></p>
<p><strong>Whole Grains </strong></p>
<div>
<div>

<p>New research may make you think twice before buying that loaf of white  bread. Foods that contain whole grains and bran, like stone-ground  whole-grain bread, brown rice and old-fashioned oatmeal, can help  protect against coronary heart disease and aid in digestive health. They  also improve insulin sensitivity, which can help better control your  sugar levels—a vital factor for diabetics. A 2010 study found that the intake of whole grains was associated with a 16 to 31%  overall reduction in the risk of dying from any cause in participants  with type 2 diabetes. &#8220;Whole grains can slow the absorption of  cholesterol, just like some of the drugs that you take [for high  cholesterol] do,” says Dr. Maroon. In essence, by improving your overall  cholesterol count, you can help lower your risk of heart disease. <em>Photo: Thinkstock</em></p>

<div>Shannon Stapleton/ReutersDoes exercise keep your brain running?</div>
<div><a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/r/gretchen_reynolds/index.html"><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/06/16/magazine/PhysEd_Pog.jpg" alt="Phys Ed" /></a></div>
<p>Moving  the body demands a lot from the brain. Exercise activates countless  neurons, which generate, receive and interpret repeated, rapid-fire  messages from the nervous system, coordinating muscle contractions,  vision, balance, organ function and all of the complex interactions of  bodily systems that allow you to take one step, then another.</p>
<p>This  increase in brain activity naturally increases the brain’s need for  nutrients, but until recently, scientists hadn’t fully understood how  neurons fuel themselves during exercise. Now a series of animal studies  from Japan suggest that the exercising brain has unique methods of  keeping itself fueled. What’s more, the finely honed energy balance that  occurs in the brain appears to have implications not only for how well  the brain functions during exercise, but also for how well our thinking  and memory work the rest of the time.</p>
<p>For many years, scientists  had believed that the brain, which is a very hungry organ, subsisted  only on glucose, or blood sugar, which it absorbed from the passing  bloodstream. But about 10 years ago, some neuroscientists found that  specialized cells in the brain, known as astrocytes, that act as support  cells for neurons actually contained small stores of glycogen, or  stored carbohydrates. And glycogen, as it turns out, is critical for the  health of cells throughout the brain.</p>
<div>
<div></div>
</div>
<p>In  petri dishes, when neurons, which do not have energy stores of their  own, are starved of blood sugar, their neighboring astrocytes undergo a  complex physiological process that results in those cells’ stores of  glycogen being broken down into a form easily burned by neurons. This  substance is released into the space between the cells and the neurons  swallow it, maintaining their energy levels.</p>
<p>But while scientists  knew that the brain had and could access these energy stores, they had  been unable to study when the brain’s stored energy was being used in  actual live conditions, outside of petri dishes, because brain glycogen  is metabolized or burned away very rapidly after death; it’s gone before  it can be measured.</p>
<p>That’s where the Japanese researchers came  in. They had developed a new method of using high-powered microwave  irradiation to instantly freeze glycogen levels at death, so that the  scientists could accurately assess just how much brain glycogen remained  in the astrocytes or had recently been used.</p>
<p>In the first of their new experiments, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21521757">published last year in The Journal of Physiology</a>,  scientists at the Laboratory of Biochemistry and Neuroscience at the  University of Tsukuba gathered two groups of adult male rats and had one  group start a treadmill running program, while the other group sat for  the same period of time each day on unmoving treadmills. The  researchers’ aim was to determine how much the level of brain glycogen  changed during and after exercise.</p>
<p>Using their glycogen detection  method, they discovered that prolonged exercise significantly lowered  the brain’s stores of energy, and that the losses were especially  noticeable in certain areas of the brain, like the frontal cortex and  the hippocampus, that are involved in thinking and memory, as well as in  the mechanics of moving.</p>
<p>The findings of their subsequent  follow-up experiment, however, were even more intriguing and  consequential. In that study, which <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21521757">appears in this month’s issue of The Journal of Physiology</a>,  the researchers studied animals after a single bout of exercise and  also after four weeks of regular, moderate-intensity running.</p>
<p>After  the single session on the treadmill, the animals were allowed to rest  and feed, and then their brain glycogen levels were studied. The food,  it appeared, had gone directly to their heads; their brain levels of  glycogen not only had been restored to what they had been before the  workout, but had soared past that point, increasing by as much as a 60  percent in the frontal cortex and hippocampus and slightly less in other  parts of the brain. The astrocytes had “overcompensated,” resulting in a  kind of brain carbo-loading.</p>
<p>The levels, however, had dropped back to normal within about 24 hours.</p>
<p>That  was not the case, though, if the animals continued to exercise. In  those rats that ran for four weeks, the “supercompensation” became the  new normal, with their baseline levels of glycogen showing substantial  increases compared with the sedentary animals. The increases were  especially notable in, again, those portions of the brain critical to  learning and memory formation — the cortex and the hippocampus.</p>
<p>Which is why the findings are potentially so meaningful – and not just for rats.</p>
<p>While  a brain with more fuel reserves is potentially a brain that can sustain  and direct movement longer, it also “may be a key mechanism underlying  exercise-enhanced cognitive function,” says Hideaki Soya, a professor of  exercise biochemistry at the University of Tsukuba and senior author of  the studies, since supercompensation occurs most strikingly in the  parts of the brain that allow us better to think and to remember. As a  result, Dr. Soya says, “it is tempting to suggest that increased storage  and utility of brain glycogen in the cortex and hippocampus might be  involved in the development” of a better, sharper brain.</p>

<div id="image_attachment_container"><img title="ayatollah ali khamenei afp" src="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ayatollah-ali-khamenei-afp-615x345.jpg" alt="ayatollah ali khamenei afp" width="615" height="345" /></div>
<p>The White House expressed disappointment Wednesday that Iran had made no progress in its dealings with UN nuclear inspectors, branding the fruitless visit a “failure” on Tehran’s part.</p>
<p>“We regret the failure of Iran to reach an agreement with the IAEA,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters. “It’s another demonstration of Iran’s refusal to abide by its international obligations.”</p>
<p>The International Atomic Energy Agency said it had gone into the two-day visit to Tehran — and a previous, inconclusive one last month — in a “constructive spirit,” but said no agreement was reached on efforts to elucidate Iran’s nuclear activities.</p>
<p>Despite requests, “we could not get access” to Iran’s military site in Parchin where suspected nuclear warhead design experiments were conducted, the leader of the IAEA team, chief UN inspector Herman Nackaerts, said on his return to Vienna, while IAEA chief Yukiya Amano described Tehran’s refusal to allow the Parchin inspection as “disappointing.”</p>
<p>The United States and Europe have been ramping up economic sanctions on Iran since November, when the IAEA published a report crystallizing — though not entirely validating — Western suspicions it was pursuing nuclear weapons research in Parchin and elsewhere.</p>

<p>Uploaded by truthseeker444 on Nov 30, 2010</p>
<p>On Saturday the 27th of November 2010, on a bitter cold winter morning, over 100,000 people took to the Streets of Dublin to send a clear message to their government and the EU.<br />
Despite this huge turnout, RTE and the UK TV stations underplayed the whole protest, and seriously understated the numbers and the effect.<br />
I have made this vid so as the true numbers can be seen, and the feelings of the people can be heard. Most of the pics used were taken by Jeremy Turkington, but I have added others that were not, ie the aerial shots.<br />
O&#8217;Connell Street was packed from one end to the other, and the overspill went down adjoining Streets. The significance and the impact of this display of Unity, should not be undermined.<br />
On the steps of the GPO Ireland reclaimed itself as a Sovereign Republic!<br />
The backing tracks are from Andrew Hughes and Gareth Icke, in that order.</p>
<p>I would like to personally thank Jim Corr for the great work he done to promote this protest, his vid calling the people to protest has now had over 100,000 hits on you tube, and went viral within hours of being released.<br />
I would also like to thank the 100,000-120,000 people, who braved the freezing cold on this very momentous day.<br />
There is great strength in UNITY! This is just the start of the Irish people claiming their country back from the greedy hands of the IMF and the EU!<br />
i am very proud to have been part of this day.<br />
Sandra Barr</p>

<div>
<p>Sailors direct aircraft on the flight deck of the carrier USS John C.  Stennis, in the North Arabian Sea, January 10, 2012. (Photo: Tyler Hicks  / The New York Times)</p>
<p>In the years of conscious, self-inflicted decline at home, “losses” continued to mount elsewhere.  In the past decade, for the first time in 500 years, South America has taken successful steps to free itself from western domination, another serious loss. The region has moved towards integration, and has begun to address some of the terrible internal problems of societies ruled by mostly Europeanized elites, tiny islands of extreme wealth in a sea of misery.  They have also rid themselves of all U.S. military bases and of IMF controls.</p>
<p>A newly formed organization, CELAC, includes all countries of the hemisphere apart from the U.S. and Canada.  If it actually functions, that would be another step in American decline, in this case in what has always been regarded as “the backyard.”</p>
<p>Even more serious would be the loss of the MENA countries &#8212; Middle East/North Africa &#8212; which have been regarded by planners since the 1940s as “a stupendous source of strategic power, and one of the greatest material prizes in world history.” Control of MENA energy reserves would yield “substantial control of the world,” in the words of the influential Roosevelt advisor A.A. Berle.</p>
<p>To be sure, if the projections of a century of U.S. energy independence based on North American energy resources turn out to be realistic, the significance of controlling MENA would decline somewhat, though probably not by much: the main concern has always been control more than access.  However, the likely consequences to the planet’s equilibrium are so ominous that discussion may be largely an academic exercise.</p>
</div>

<p>The Arab Spring, another development of historic importance, might  portend at least a partial “loss” of MENA.  The US and its allies have  tried hard to prevent that outcome &#8212; so far, with considerable  success.  Their policy towards the popular uprisings has kept closely to  the standard guidelines: support the forces <a href="http://www.tomdispatch.com/archive/175367/nick_turse_the_arab_lobby" target="_blank">most amenable</a> to U.S. influence and control.</p>
<p>Favored dictators are supported as long as they can maintain control  (as in the major oil states).  When that is no longer possible, then  discard them and try to restore the old regime as fully as possible (as  in Tunisia and Egypt).  The general pattern is familiar: Somoza, Marcos,  Duvalier, Mobutu, Suharto, and many others.  In one case, Libya, the  three traditional imperial powers intervened by force to participate in a  rebellion to overthrow a mercurial and unreliable dictator, opening the  way, it is expected, to more efficient control over Libya’s rich  resources (oil primarily, but also water, of particular interest to  French corporations), to a possible base for the U.S. Africa Command (so  far <a href="http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/67844/jonathan-stevenson/africoms-libyan-expedition?page=show" target="_blank">restricted to Germany</a>), and to the reversal of growing Chinese penetration.  As far as policy goes, there have been few surprises.</p>
<p>Crucially, it is important to reduce the threat of functioning  democracy, in which popular opinion will significantly influence  policy.  That again is routine, and quite understandable.  A look at the  studies of public opinion <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/07/18/137821453/new-poll-finds-u-s-viewed-less-favorably-in-arab-world" target="_blank">undertaken</a> by U.S. polling agencies in the MENA countries easily explains the  western fear of authentic democracy, in which public opinion will  significantly influence policy.</p>
<p><strong>Israel and the Republican Party</strong></p>
<p>Similar considerations carry over directly to the second major concern addressed in the issue of <em>Foreign Affairs</em> cited in part one of this piece: the Israel-Palestine conflict.   Fear  of democracy could hardly be more clearly exhibited than in this case.   In January 2006, an election took place in Palestine, pronounced free  and fair by international monitors.  The instant reaction of the U.S.  (and of course Israel), with Europe following along politely, was to  impose harsh penalties on Palestinians for voting the wrong way.</p>
<p>That is no innovation.  It is quite in accord with the general and  unsurprising principle recognized by mainstream scholarship: the U.S.  supports democracy if, and only if, the outcomes accord with its  strategic and economic objectives, the rueful conclusion of  neo-Reaganite Thomas Carothers, the most careful and respected scholarly  analyst of <a href="http://carnegieendowment.org/2007/09/05/u.s.-democracy-promotion-during-and-after-bush/1hyj" target="_blank">“democracy promotion” initiatives</a>.</p>
<p>More broadly, for 35 years the U.S. has led the rejectionist camp on  Israel-Palestine, blocking an international consensus calling for a  political settlement in terms too well known to require repetition.  The  western mantra is that Israel seeks negotiations without preconditions,  while the Palestinians refuse.  The opposite is more accurate.  The  U.S. and Israel demand strict preconditions, which are, furthermore,  designed to ensure that negotiations will lead either to Palestinian  capitulation on crucial issues, or nowhere.</p>
<p>The first precondition is that the negotiations must be supervised by  Washington, which makes about as much sense as demanding that Iran  supervise the negotiation of Sunni-Shia conflicts in Iraq.  Serious  negotiations would have to be under the auspices of some neutral party,  preferably one that commands some international respect, perhaps  Brazil.  The negotiations would seek to resolve the conflicts between  the two antagonists: the U.S.-Israel on one side, most of the world on  the other.</p>
<p>The second precondition is that Israel must be free to expand its  illegal settlements in the West Bank.  Theoretically, the U.S. opposes  these actions, but with a very light tap on the wrist, while continuing  to provide economic, diplomatic, and military support.  When the U.S.  does have some limited objections, it very easily bars the actions, as  in the case of the E-1 project linking Greater Jerusalem to the town of  Ma’aleh Adumim, virtually bisecting the West Bank, a very high priority  for Israeli planners (across the spectrum), but raising some objections  in Washington, so that Israel has had to resort to devious measures to  chip away at the project.</p>
<p>The pretense of opposition reached the level of farce last February  when Obama vetoed a Security Council resolution calling for  implementation of official U.S. policy (also adding the uncontroversial  observation that the settlements themselves are illegal, quite apart  from expansion).  Since that time there has been little talk about  ending settlement expansion, which continues, with studied provocation.</p>
<p>Thus, as Israeli and Palestinian representatives prepared to meet in Jordan in January 2011, Israel <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/israel-announces-contentious-jerusalem-construction-ahead-of-peace-talks-meet-1.405276" target="_blank">announced new construction</a> in Pisgat Ze’ev and Har Homa, West Bank areas that it has declared to  be within the greatly expanded area of Jerusalem, annexed, settled, and  constructed as Israel’s capital, all in violation of direct Security  Council orders.  Other moves carry forward the grander design of  separating whatever West Bank enclaves will be left to Palestinian  administration from the cultural, commercial, political center of  Palestinian life in the former Jerusalem.</p>
<p>It is understandable that Palestinian rights should be marginalized in  U.S. policy and discourse.  Palestinians have no wealth or power.  They  offer virtually nothing to U.S. policy concerns; in fact, they have  negative value, as a nuisance that stirs up “the Arab street.”</p>
<p>Israel, in contrast, is a valuable ally.  It is a rich society with a  sophisticated, largely militarized high-tech industry.  For decades, it  has been a highly valued military and strategic ally, particularly since  1967, when it performed a great service to the U.S. and its Saudi ally  by destroying the Nasserite “virus,” establishing the “special  relationship” with Washington in the form that has persisted since.  It  is also a growing center for U.S. high-tech investment.  In fact, high  tech and particularly military industries in the two countries are  closely linked.</p>
<p>Apart from such elementary considerations of great power politics as  these, there are cultural factors that should not be ignored.  Christian  Zionism in Britain and the U.S. long preceded Jewish Zionism, and has  been a significant elite phenomenon with clear policy implications  (including the Balfour Declaration, which drew from it).  When General  Allenby conquered Jerusalem during World War I, he was hailed in the  American press as Richard the Lion-Hearted, who had at last won the  Crusades and driven the pagans out of the Holy Land.</p>
<p>The next step was for the Chosen People to return to the land promised  to them by the Lord.  Articulating a common elite view, President  Franklin Roosevelt’s Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes described  Jewish colonization of Palestine as an achievement “without comparison  in the history of the human race.” Such attitudes find their place  easily within the Providentialist doctrines that have been a strong  element in popular and elite culture since the country’s origins: the  belief that God has a plan for the world and the U.S. is carrying it  forward under divine guidance, as articulated by a long list of leading  figures.</p>
<p>Moreover, evangelical Christianity is a major popular force in the  U.S.  Further toward the extremes, End Times evangelical Christianity  also has enormous popular outreach, invigorated by the establishment of  Israel in 1948, revitalized even more by the conquest of the rest of  Palestine in 1967 &#8212; all signs that End Times and the Second Coming are  approaching.</p>
<p>These forces have become particularly significant since the Reagan  years, as the Republicans have abandoned the pretense of being a  political party in the traditional sense, while devoting themselves in  virtual lockstep uniformity to servicing a tiny percentage of the  super-rich and the corporate sector.  However, the small constituency  that is primarily served by the reconstructed party cannot provide  votes, so they have to turn elsewhere.</p>
<p>The only choice is to mobilize tendencies that have always been  present, though rarely as an organized political force: primarily  nativists trembling in fear and hatred, and religious elements that are  extremists by international standards but not in the U.S.  One outcome  is reverence for alleged Biblical prophecies, hence not only support for  Israel and its conquests and expansion, but passionate love for Israel,  another core part of the catechism that must be intoned by Republican  candidates &#8212; with Democrats, again, not too far behind.</p>
<p>These factors aside, it should not be forgotten that the “Anglosphere”  &#8212; Britain and its offshoots &#8212; consists of settler-colonial societies,  which rose on the ashes of indigenous populations, suppressed or  virtually exterminated.  Past practices must have been basically  correct, in the U.S. case even ordained by Divine Providence.   Accordingly there is often an intuitive sympathy for the children of  Israel when they follow a similar course.  But primarily, geostrategic  and economic interests prevail, and policy is not graven in stone.</p>
<p><strong>The Iranian “Threat” and the Nuclear Issue</strong></p>
<p>Let us turn finally to the third of the leading issues addressed in the  establishment journals cited earlier, the “threat of Iran.” Among  elites and the political class this is generally taken to be the primary  threat to world order &#8212; though not among populations.  In Europe,  polls show that Israel is regarded as the leading threat to peace.  In  the MENA countries, that status is shared with the U.S., to the extent  that in Egypt, on the eve of the Tahrir Square uprising, 80% felt that  the region would be more secure if Iran had nuclear weapons.  The same  polls found that only 10% regard Iran as a threat &#8212; unlike the ruling  dictators, who have their own concerns.</p>
<p>In the United States, before the massive propaganda campaigns of the  past few years, a majority of the population agreed with most of the  world that, as a signatory of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iran has a  right to carry out uranium enrichment.  And even today, a large majority  favors peaceful means for dealing with Iran.  There is even strong  opposition to military engagement if Iran and Israel are at war.<strong> </strong> Only  a quarter regard Iran as an important concern for the U.S. altogether.   But it is not unusual for there to be a gap, often a chasm, dividing  public opinion and policy.</p>
<p>Why exactly is Iran regarded as such a colossal threat? The question is  rarely discussed, but it is not hard to find a serious answer &#8212; though  not, as usual, in the fevered pronouncements.  The most authoritative  answer is provided by the Pentagon and the intelligence services in  their regular reports to Congress on global security.  They report that  Iran does not pose a military threat.  Its military spending is very low  even by the standards of the region, <a href="http://www.commondreams.org/view/2012/02/04-0" target="_blank">minuscule</a> of course in comparison with the U.S.</p>
<p>Iran has little capacity to deploy force.  Its strategic doctrines are  defensive, designed to deter invasion long enough for diplomacy to set  it.  If Iran is developing nuclear weapons capability, they report, that  would be part of its deterrence strategy.  No serious analyst believes  that the ruling clerics are eager to see their country and possessions  vaporized, the immediate consequence of their coming even close to  initiating a nuclear war.  And it is hardly necessary to spell out <a href="http://www.tomdispatch.com/post/175495/tomgram%3A_engelhardt%2C_iran_through_the_looking_glass/" target="_blank">the reasons why</a> any Iranian leadership would be concerned with deterrence, under existing circumstances.</p>
<p>The regime is doubtless a serious threat to much of its own population  &#8212; and regrettably, is hardly unique on that score.  But the primary  threat to the U.S. and Israel is that Iran might deter their free  exercise of violence.  A further threat is that the Iranians clearly  seek to extend their influence to neighboring Iraq and Afghanistan, and  beyond as well.  Those “illegitimate” acts are called “destabilizing”  (or worse).  In contrast, forceful imposition of U.S. influence halfway  around the world contributes to “stability” and order, in accord with  traditional doctrine about <a href="http://www.tomdispatch.com/archive/175382/noam_chomsky_who_owns_the_world" target="_blank">who owns the world</a>.</p>
<p>It makes very good sense to try to prevent Iran from joining the  nuclear weapons states, including the three that have refused to sign  the Non-Proliferation Treaty &#8212; Israel, India, and <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1998/06/01/world/nuclear-anxiety-the-know-how-us-and-china-helped-pakistan-build-its-bomb.html" target="_blank">Pakistan</a>,  all of which have been assisted in developing nuclear weapons by the  U.S., and are still being assisted by them.  It is not impossible to  approach that goal by peaceful diplomatic means.  One approach, which  enjoys overwhelming international support, is to undertake meaningful  steps towards establishing a nuclear weapons-free zone in the Middle  East, including Iran and Israel (and applying as well to U.S. forces  deployed there), better still extending to South Asia.</p>
<p>Support for such efforts is so strong that the Obama administration has  been compelled to formally agree, but with reservations: crucially,  that Israel’s nuclear program must not be placed under the auspices of  the International Atomic Energy Association, and that no state (meaning  the U.S.) should be required to release information about “Israeli  nuclear facilities and activities, including information pertaining to  previous nuclear transfers to Israel.” Obama also accepts Israel’s  position that any such proposal must be conditional on a comprehensive  peace settlement, which the U.S. and Israel can continue to delay  indefinitely.</p>
<p>This survey comes nowhere near being exhaustive, needless to say. Among major topics not addressed is the <a href="http://www.tomdispatch.com/blog/175476/tomgram%3A_michael_klare,_a_new_cold_war_in_asia/" target="_blank">shift</a> of U.S. military policy towards the Asia-Pacific region, with new  additions to the huge military base system underway right now, in <a href="http://ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=105799" target="_blank">Jeju Island</a> off South Korea and <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/national/obama-to-send-marines-to-darwin-20111116-1njd7.html" target="_blank">Northwest Australia</a>, all elements of the policy of “containment of China.” Closely related is the issue of <a href="http://www.tomdispatch.com/blog/175214/tomgram:_john_feffer,_can_japan_say_no_to_washington/" target="_blank">U.S. bases in Okinawa</a>, bitterly opposed by the population for many years, and a continual crisis in U.S.-Tokyo-Okinawa relations.</p>
<p>Revealing how little fundamental assumptions have changed, U.S.  strategic analysts describe the result of China’s military programs as a  “classic &#8216;security dilemma,&#8217; whereby military programs and national  strategies deemed defensive by their planners are viewed as threatening  by the other side,” writes Paul Godwin of the Foreign Policy Research  Institute.  The security dilemma arises over control of the seas off  China’s coasts.  The U.S. regards its policies of controlling these  waters as “defensive,” while China regards them as threatening;  correspondingly, China regards its actions in nearby areas as  “defensive” while the U.S. regards them as threatening.   No such debate  is even imaginable concerning U.S. coastal waters.  This “classic  security dilemma” makes sense, again, on the assumption that the U.S.  has a right to control most of the world, and that U.S. security  requires something approaching absolute global control.</p>

<div>February 10, 2012</div>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-3108" href="http://noliesradio.org/archives/3087/3087-revision-8"><img title="corn" src="http://www.trueactivist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/corn-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="503" height="377" /></a></p>
<p>Hungary  has taken a bold stand against biotech giant Monsanto and genetic  modification by destroying 1000 acres of maize found to have been grown  with genetically modified seeds, according to Hungary deputy state  secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development Lajos Bognar. Unlike many  European Union countries, Hungary is a nation where genetically  modified (GM) seeds are banned. In a similar stance against GM  ingredients, Peru has also passed a 10 year ban on GM foods.</p>
<p>Planetsave reports:</p>
<p>Almost 1000 acres of maize found to have been ground with genetically modified seeds have been destroyed throughout Hungary, deputy state secretary of the Ministry of Rural Development Lajos Bognar said. The GMO maize has been ploughed under, said Lajos Bognar, but pollen has not spread from the maize, he added.</p>
<p>Unlike several EU members, GMO seeds are banned in Hungary. The checks will continue despite the fact that seek traders are obliged to make sure that their products are GMO free, Bognar said.</p>
<p>During the investigation, controllers have found Pioneer Monsanto products among the seeds planted.</p>
<p>The free movement of goods within the EU means that authorities will not investigate how the seeds arrived in Hungary, but they will check where the goods can be found, Bognar said. Regional public radio reported that the two biggest international seed producing companies are affected in the matter and GMO seeds could have been sown on up to the thousands of hectares in the country. Most of the local farmers have complained since they just discovered they were using GMO seeds.</p>
<p>With season already under way, it is too late to sow new seeds, so this year’s harvest has been lost.</p>

<p>David Rockefeller is a founder of the Club of Rome, and is still an executive member, he is former Chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank, founder of the Trilateral Commission, an executive member of the world economic Forum, a director on the Council for Foreign relations, financer of the Tavistock Institute, and other centres globally that have studied mind control techniques, the psychology of war and mass global hypnotism through the media. Additionally, he serves as a member of the Advisory Board for the Bilderberg Group. The land on which the United Nations sits, was donated by Rockefeller.  This man has had a hand in every aspect of everyday life, for every citizen on the planet. He has personally had a hand in the mass enslavement of the masses, through the banking system, and the mind control techniques developed at the centres he finances, he has spent his entire adult life creating a world that serves the global elite, and enslaves the rest of the population. These tapestries may seem unimportant to many, but believe me, the symbolism and hidden esoteric meanings hidden in these tapestries, tell us an awful lot about the Rockefeller Family, and their objectives.</p>
<p>The most well known set of tapestries depicting a Unicorn being hunted are believed to have been made in Brussels (Then part of the Netherlands) between 1495-1505.  Its possible they were commissioned by Anne of Brittany to celebrate her marriage to Louis XII of France, but no one knows their origins for sure. The cipher “AE” is woven throughout the tapestries, this possibly alludes to whoever commissioned them, but no one knows.  Much of their history is a little obscure, but it is known that the La Rochefoucauld family of France owned them for several centuries. During the French Revolution they were looted, but were recovered in the 1850’s and restored. When they re-appeared one of the seven was badly damaged, and only two segments of it remained. Given they have various dimensions and the composition varies, some scholars have questioned if they were ever intended to be a set, or if they are a composite taken from various sets.  No one even knows what order they are meant to be hung.</p>

<p>In 1922 John D. Rockefeller Jr purchased six of the seven tapestries for one million US dollars. To give you some perspective as to how much a million dollars in 1922 would be worth today, the West Egg inflation Calculator calculates that one million dollars in 1900, would today be worth $24,613,670.55!!!!  That’s over 24 ½ million dollars in today’s money! Those tapestries must have been mighty important to him!</p>
<p>He later purchased the damaged tapestry from Count Gabriel De La Rochefoucauld, for an undisclosed amount. In an interview David Rockefeller describes the tapestries as one of his father’s greatest and most prized possessions.   The tapestries hung in the Rockefellers New York apartment until 1937; they were then gifted to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They now hang in The Cloisters, which houses the museums medieval collection.  In 1998 restoration work started on the tapestries, when the linen backing was removed they found that the colours on the back were much better preserved and more vivid than the colours on the front. A series of high resolution digital photographs were taken at this time. Since January 2002 the tapestry studio at West Dean College has been working on recreating the original tapestries. They are expected to be finished in 2014; they will then be moved to Stirling Castle, where they will be hung in The Queens Presence Chamber.</p>
<p>Four of the Tapestries have already been completed, and now hang in the Queens Chamber in the Royal Chapel in Stirling Castle.  (Pictures of the completed tapestries at the end of the blog.)  <a href="http://www.stirlingcastle.gov.uk/tapestries">Stirling Castle web site</a> This link is Stirling Castles official web site, and they have this to say about the tapestries  “We know that James V had two sets of tapestries featuring unicorns. Tapestries were extremely expensive and were prized by the wealthy elites of the European Renaissance.”  I’ll bet they were, and the hidden meanings and symbology of those tapestries would have been even more prized to them!</p>
<p>James V of Scotland was the Father of Queen Mary, and her son James VI of Scotland went on to become James I of England and Scotland.</p>
<p>Since the reign of King Robert III of Scotland in the late 1300s, the Unicorn has been a part of that country&#8217;s official emblem. When James VI of Scotland (19<sup>th</sup> June 1566-27<sup>th</sup> march 1625) became James I of both England and Scotland in 1603 upon the death of Elizabeth I (who died childless and, therefore, with no direct heir), he drew up a new royal coat-of-arms which included both the traditional English Lion and the Scottish Unicorn. The English Arms had used a variety of supporters throughout its history, but had most frequently featured the Lion.</p>

<p>James I placed a Lion on the left of the new Arms and a Unicorn on the right. This was a potent show of symbolism, for the Lion and the Unicorn had long been regarded as deadly enemies, both being considered as King of the Beasts, the Unicorn ruling through harmony and the Lion through might. The newly instituted coat-of-arms came to represent reconciliation between the Scottish Unicorn and the English Lion that the two should share the rule. This is the official version of how the Unicorn became part of the English coat of arms; I will later examine the use of the Unicorn in more detail. What the ruling elite tell the masses, and the real meanings are rarely the same.</p>

<p>On Friday the 13<sup>th</sup> of October 1307 King Philip of France began his persecution of the Knights Templar, it is believed that many were fore warned that he was about to have them arrested, and many of them fled to Scotland. Despite Philips exhaustive searches for the Templars vast wealth and possessions, none were ever found. It is believed that the wealth and possessions also went to Scotland at that time.</p>
<p>Scotland is of course the Freemason capital of the world, and the Scottish Rite Freemasonry was formed there reportedly in the 18<sup>th</sup> century. The Scottish Freemasons are believed to have formed from the Knights Templar that fled there in 1307.  It is too much of a coincidence that the Templars and Unicorns arrived in Scotland at the around same time!</p>
<p>The tapestries are woven in wool, silk and metallic threads, and depict 101 species of plants, 85 of which have been identified.  The six tapestries which hang in the Metropolitan Museum of Art Depict the following.  1 The hunters enter the woods.  2 The Unicorn is found  3 The Unicorn is attacked  4 The Unicorn and the maiden (this is the damaged tapestry)  5 The Unicorn defends itself  6 The Unicorn is killed, and brought to the Castle.  7 The Unicorn in captivity, no longer dead.</p>
<p>On the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s web site, David Rockefeller can be seen in an interview talking about the tapestries. In it he says that his father told him the Unicorn represented Christ.   <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s99zTOKOQs&amp;list=UUp9ud2YF0lXQfolbGgdkf9A&amp;index=1&amp;feature=plcp">Link to Rockefeller interview:</a></p>

<p><strong> </strong> The Unicorn is the constellation Monoceros, which is only visible in Winter, it lies behind Sirius (ISIS) and Orions belt (OSIRIS).   In Egyptian mythology Isis and Osiris give birth to Horus, the Christ, Sun God. The Unicorn represents the Christ, and from the Middle Ages onwards Christians, who bastardised Egyptian mythology for their own ends, seen the Unicorn as symbolic of their Jesus Christ.</p>
<div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bOROG8kEMow/TzK49R4_HcI/AAAAAAAAAN4/duvQ7FjbhzE/s1600/1m.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bOROG8kEMow/TzK49R4_HcI/AAAAAAAAAN4/duvQ7FjbhzE/s640/1m.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="640" height="467" /></a></div>
<p>The unicorn (constellation Monoceros) is the Christ, only visible in the winter months in the North of our sky, then it disappears from view, re-appearing again the following winter, and so appears to die, but then is re-born again the following winter (DEC 25, birth of Christ) Which also coincides with the winter solstice, where the Sun is re-born.</p>

<p>As David Rockefeller says in the interview, he always understood the Unicorn to represent Christ.  The tapestries depict the Unicorn being killed, and then miraculously in the final tapestry it is alive again.  It sits surrounded by pomegranates, which represent blood, and it is in captivity, it is chained and no longer free. The pomegranate from ancient times represented bloodline and fertility, and to the ruling aristocracy bloodline is of paramount importance.  I believe this set of tapestries were of immense importance to the Rockefeller Family, as the Unicorn in captivity to them, was symbolic of their control and enslavement of the Christ energy. When I say Christ I do not mean the fictional character Jesus, who the ruling elite invented. The word Christ means anointed one. And the Christ energy is that energy that exists in the Universe, that epitomises all that is pure and good.  Through their manufactured religions, the global elite have been able to harness the energy they associate with the Christ energy, it is under their domain, and is effectively tethered and captive.  I have covered this at length in my Prince William and the Unicorn videos, the Unicorn is also prominent on the British Coat of arms, and Prince William’s personal Coat of Arms. Again the Unicorn is restrained by a chain. The official explanation for this is that left unchained the Unicorn could be a dangerous beast!   <strong>Dangerous to whom I wonder! </strong> William’s coat of arms differs from previous Royal Coats of Arms, in that on his the lion and Unicorn are standing on pomegranates, just like the Unicorn in the final tapestry.  I clearly see this as blatant symbolism, used by them, to covertly let it be known that they have ownership of the Christ energy, they control it, it is completely their captive, and the only thing we pheasants will know of it, is what they tell us through their corrupt and manufactured religions.</p>
<p>I am of course not just referring to the Rockefellers and the British Royal Family, Im referring to the entire inbred bloodsucking, parasitic band of them. The entire Elite (EL as in ELOHIM). They are not many families, they are all one, and they control every aspect of global affairs.</p>
<p>And one of the primary jewels in their crown, is the enslavement of the masses through their invented religions, which are all astrologically based, and were designed not to bring man to his true spiritual potential, but to take him further away from it.</p>
<p>Over a year ago I started my journey of discovery, which began with the British Royals fixation about the Unicorn, its been hidden in plain site for hundreds of years, every official British Government document bares the Coat of arms of the British Royals, and the tethered Unicorn is prominent on that coat of arms, and has been since the reign of James I, who incidentally was responsible for the re-writing of the bible, and the King James Version of the Bible is still the most commonly read bible in the world.  The King James Version, unlike any other bible, mentions the Unicorn a staggering 9 times!</p>
<p><strong>Now let us look at each of the tapestries.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oDgt9OYUKPo/TzK9w18BytI/AAAAAAAAAPI/M1NsvPzHy8c/s1600/Aa1.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oDgt9OYUKPo/TzK9w18BytI/AAAAAAAAAPI/M1NsvPzHy8c/s640/Aa1.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="584" height="640" /></a></div>
<p><strong> </strong> <strong>1. </strong><strong>The hunters enter the woods</strong> The scout in a tree (upper right corner), motions for his companions to follow.  Six men and five dogs, go in search of the Unicorn. The number six is symbolic of the search for spiritual enlightenment. The Unicorn is the symbol of enlightenment, and they are going in search of it, not to find enlightenment, but to kill it.  In Pythagorean numerology five is the number of chaos. Order/disorder and life/death. “Order out of Chaos is the motto of the ruling global Elite. They create chaos, so that they can impose their order.</p>
<div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9sWo-rY18eY/TzK91bWfdTI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/bYnZRgLJ1UU/s1600/ab2.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9sWo-rY18eY/TzK91bWfdTI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/bYnZRgLJ1UU/s640/ab2.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="640" height="620" /></a></div>
<p><strong>2. </strong><strong>The Unicorn is found</strong> The Unicorn is symbolic of the constellation Monoceros (Latin for Unicorn). The Constellation of Monoceros is on the celestial equator of the Milky Way. The Ancients viewed the Milky Way as the great Heavenly River. Egyptians equated the Nile, as the Earthly equivalent. The Unicorn is basking in the flow from the fountain, the Unicorns horn has the water from the fountain cascading over it. The horn of the unicorn has great esoteric meaning, as it was always thought to have many magical attributes, and in medieval times, many actually believed in the existence of the Unicorn, and the wealthy elite of the time paid large sums to purchase what they believed to be unicorn horns.  Whatever  the meaning of this scene, the Noblemen watch the Unicorn, but do not attack,  according to traditional beliefs; the unicorn cannot be disturbed while performing a  magical act. So whatever the Unicorn is doing is viewed as a sacred act.  The unicorn’s horn was thought to be an antidote to poison and this tapestry has marigolds, an orange tree, and sage, all known in the Middle Ages to be antidotes to poisoning. It appears as if the Unicorn is purifying the water with its magic horn.</p>
<p>In the top right you can see a castle, indicating that the hunters have came from the castle, in the sixth tapestry they return to the castle, this suggests that the hunters are aristocrats.  The twelve hunters are the twelve signs of the Zodiac.  A hare sits in front of the Unicorn, in front of the constellation Monoceros is the constellation Lepus, which is represented by a hare, and often the Egyptian God Set is associated with the hare.  In this tapestry the Unicorn appears to have no ears, this could be symbolic of the fact that because the Unicorn is carrying out a sacred act, it is oblivious to what is happening around it. The old saying “hear no evil” springs to mind.</p>
<div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VtEDJ3oYWic/TzK93DRQFBI/AAAAAAAAAPY/Z0ebrs2u7Zs/s1600/ac3.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VtEDJ3oYWic/TzK93DRQFBI/AAAAAAAAAPY/Z0ebrs2u7Zs/s640/ac3.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="640" height="544" /></a></div>
<p><strong>3. </strong><strong>The Unicorn is attacked.</strong> In this tapestry the hunters attack the Unicorn, the Unicorn is in a stream, again symbolic of the celestial river of the Gods, the Milk Way, which is home to the Monoceros constellation. In esoteric terms the Unicorn depicted in the actual river gives this scene a very ritualistic nature.   I am reminded of the paintings of The Battle of The Boyne, (1690) which was not a battle but a ritual, acted out by King William III and King   James II, at the end of the ritual William was King of England, Scotland and Ireland. He is commonly depicted on a white horse, his sword in the air, forming what appears to be a single horn on the horses head, making it look like a unicorn as he merges into the Boyne River, which is the ritualistic initiation.  King William rode a black horse, this was commonly known, still he is always depicted on a white horse. This is a prime example of the European aristocracy of that time associating themselves with the harnessed energy of the Unicorn or Christ energy.</p>

<p>The Unicorn is symbolic of purity, and that divine energy that many call God. The hunters are the evil ones who will sacrifice their souls for its capture.</p>
<p>Four men are actively attacking the beast; four is symbolic of the four Cardinal directions, North, South, East and West, the four seasons, and the four elements. In the book of Revelation the four horsemen of the apocalypse bring about the destruction of mankind.  The two men in the top left, appear to be doing nothing other than observing, possibly the hunters are acting under orders from these Noble men. Although Nobel hardly seems a just description!   The Unicorn has a wound on his back, the blood mingles with the sacred water, he is trying to escape his encircling enemies. Horns are blowing, dogs barking, and lances are aimed at it. The castle is again seen in the back round, this time to the right. In a close up of the castle, very sinister looking aristocrats can be seen watching the scene. This can be seen in the attached Rockefeller video.(Link at the top of blog)</p>
<p>The bridge in this picture is most interesting, in the Universe where the Galactic and Ecliptic mid planes intersect, there are two gateways.  One is the Golden gate which we pass through at death; the other is the Silver gate that we pass through at birth. The silver gate is also known as the gate of man. This gateway is synonymous with the Unicorn, as its horn points directly to the gateway in the cosmos. Possibly the bridge represents this gateway.  <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RZ89GI1RZlA/TzK95Bg0RuI/AAAAAAAAAPg/YZK77JKES2Q/s1600/ad4.jpg"></a></p>

<p><strong>4. </strong><strong>The Unicorn and the Maiden</strong> This is the tapestry that was damaged, that Rockefeller bought separately from the rest. The myths about the unicorn say that it will risk capture, even death, just to be wooed by a virgin maiden. In this tapestry it seems to have escaped the hunters, the wound on its back is visible, one of the hunting dogs is licking the wound, and the unicorn appears unconcerned about his wounds, and it seems quite ecstatic to be in the company of the maiden. Christians read this as the maiden representing the Virgin Mary, and the Unicorn Jesus. If we look at the constellation Monoceros, we see that Monoceros straddles the brightest star in the sky, Sirius. To the Ancient Egyptians Sirius was represented by the Goddess ISIS. The constellation that we know as Orion to the Egyptians was Osiris, (The hunter), who was both husband and brother of ISIS. Between them they gave birth to the sun God Horus, which I believe later came to be represented by Monoceros.  <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-123XC0KAto0/TzLPJS23GzI/AAAAAAAAARg/SQKzaIY_ul8/s1600/m50_map.gif"></a></p>

<p>During the Medieval period the church demonised astrology, however the elite who were responsible for enforcing the churches rules thought it was OK that they use it! Then as now, it was one rule for them, and another for the masses.</p>
<p>The flower most commonly associated with Isis is the white Lily, and the tapestries are awash with white lilies. White lilies are also symbolic of the demonic Goddess Lilith, who was the first Eve, as record by the most ancient of the Hebrew texts. It is said that the European elite still worship this entity, and offer blood sacrifices to her.</p>
<p>Just North of the constellation Monoceros lies Canis Minor (Canis=Dog), to the Egyptians this was the home of the Goddess Nephtys, sister of Osiris and Isis, and husband of Set, who was also a brother! Nephtys was thought to be a healer. So I take this tapestry to mean that the maiden is ISIS, and the dog represents her sister Nephtys the constellation Canis Minor and the healer. The hunter about to pounce is to the left.  <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C382sZBXUf4/TzK970Pn-9I/AAAAAAAAAPo/GXrXTvXqWIc/s1600/ae5.jpg"></a></p>

<p><strong>5. Unicorn defends itself</strong> In this tapestry notice how the Unicorn is depicted with cloven hooves. If you search Google images for Unicorn, you will find that they are most commonly depicted with hooves like a horse, the only occasions they are depicted with cloven hooves, is when they are the unicorn that depicts the constellation Monoceros, or on the heraldry of the Elite. The British Royals and the Rothschild’s are just two examples that use the Unicorn from Monoceros on their heraldry. And like the tapestries, they most commonly depict them in chains. The Unicorn in the tapestries also sports a small beard, more like a Goat than a Unicorn. In the heraldry of the aristocracy, they often present one animal, but depict it with characteristics of other animals, so that they end up with an animal that on first sight appears to be one thing, but on close inspection seems to be a mix of many things. To them the attributes of this conglomeration of animals is symbolic of the attributes of their family, and the entities they pay homage too.</p>

<p>The cloven hooves and beard are the characteristics of a Goat, and their god Baphomet is depicted as half goat half human.</p>
<p>There are nine men in this tapestry; to Satanists nine is the number of death and sacrifice. Mark 15 v 34-37 says that Jesus died in the ninth hour. Jesus is just one of the avatars that the elite invented to reap the spiritual energy of the masses, and Christians have long associated Jesus with the Unicorn.</p>
<p>Saint Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, (340-397) said “who is the Unicorn but the only begotten Son of God”.</p>
<p>The nine men most likely represent the ninth hour that Christ supposedly died.  Six of the men are carrying spears/lances, one man is holding an axe, no doubt he is the one that will take the Unicorns horn off.  The Unicorn has stabbed the dog with its horn, Again the stream runs in the foreground of the tapestry, and oddly there seems to be a number of birds in the stream, but only one bird in the sky!</p>

<p><strong>6. </strong><strong>The Unicorn is killed and brought to the castle:</strong></p>
<p>This is actually two pictures combined into one. To the left we see the murder of the Unicorn, and to the right the Unicorns dead body, strewn over a horses back, minus its horn is being presented to the aristocrats who presumably live in the grand castle.  <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y1orcuBCrD4/TzK_Wzg4poI/AAAAAAAAAQI/abF3UlQky14/s1600/unicornsterling.jpg"></a> <strong>The Kill</strong>: In the back round we see a holly tree, the myths and legends associated with the holly date back to the Romans worship of Saturnalia. Around the 17<sup>th</sup> of December to celebrate the festival of Saturn, they would send holly boughs and other gifts to their friends. This also celebrated the Winter Solstice. This is just one of the pagan customs that Christians hijacked and re-wrapped! The founder of the Christian religion as we know it, was the Roman Emperor Constantine, who despite inflicting the religion on the pheasants who made up the Roman Empire, remained a Pagan himself. Christians argue that he converted on his death bed…….Some people will believe anything. J  <a href="http://www.controverscial.com/Holly.htm">This link details the myth and folklore of the Holly</a></p>
<p>The constellation Monoceros has Canis Minor above it, and Canis Major below it, and in this scene with unicorn has a dog above it, and a dog below it. The Satanic elite love to reverse things so that they can hide things in plain sight. DOG reversed GOD. The dog on the Unicorns back looks like it is licking the unicorns wound, like the dog in the “Unicorn and the maiden” tapestry.  Spears have been driven into the Unicorns neck and chest, and it has wounds on its back and hind. This scene is very tragic; the evil has killed the Christ, and all that is good.</p>
<p>The Presentation: To the right the Unicorn is being presented to the Lord and Lady, could be King and Queen, we are given no clues about their rank, although they are clearly aristocrats. A very curious looking crowd looks on. Kind of like a 16<sup>th</sup> century Bilderberg group! They have ordered the execution of this magical beast, and yet the lady holds rosary beads in her hand! A little like the shadowy elite of today, who wear the cloaks of many religions, but the facet of themselves that they present to the masses is far removed from the truth of their real nature.  The video shows close ups of the faces of those looking on from the castle, and they look like conspirators, while hiding in the shadowy back round, they have killed the Christ, and taken possession of it. Then as now these people send their trained assassins out to do their dirty work.</p>
<p>To the right we also see a gateway, an arch, silver/grey in colour. This may seem innocuous to most observers, but this is most important.</p>

<p>In our Universe, where the Galactic and Ecliptic midplanes intersect, the ancient Egyptians put gateways.  The gateways mark the entry point of our souls at birth and death.  The Silver Gate is the Milky Way ecliptic crossing at the Gemini-Taurus nexus. It is most often represented by horns, as it lies squarely between the horns of the Taurus bull. Isis is often depicted with horns on her head; this is representative of the horns of Taurus, and the Silver gateway we pass through into this life.  The Silver gate of birth, lies to the North east of the Unicorns horn, and as you can see, this silver arch is also the  Northeast of the Unicorn.</p>

<p>The Golden Gate (arch) is the ecliptic Milky Way crossing at the Scorpio-Sagittarius nexus on the zodiac, and we pass through this gateway at death into the next life. Probably no accident that McDonalds uses a double golden gateway as their symbol!</p>

<p><strong>7. </strong><strong>The Unicorn in captivity:</strong></p>
<p>This is probably the most tragic of the seven tapestries. The Unicorn has miraculously come back to life; it is surrounded by a fence, and tethered to a palm tree. The Unicorn is symbolic of all that is pure and good, yet it is enslaved, probably by the shadowy elite from the previous tapestry.  It has red stains all over its coat, this is not blood, its pomegranate juice, and the Unicorn is surrounded by the plant with its many associations to bloodline and fertility. The fence is small and fragile, the chain it is tethered with could easily be broken, but still the Unicorn sits in its prison. Its as if the unicorn totally accepts its servitude, it has lost its will for Freedom. Could it be that the unicorn has been drugged by the pomegranates that surround it, has it been stupefied to the point that it is content with its mundane existence?  The only other creature in this tapestry is a frog, and in the middle ages frogs were associated with witches and their spells, is the Unicorn under some kind of spell?  The wild orchid, also synonymous with fertility is also in this scene, back then the world was not as densely populated as it is now, mortality rates were high, and the peasants were encouraged to reproduce.  There are also violets, Roman and Greek myths recount a tragic story of one of the goddess Diana&#8217;s (Artemis) nymph companions, all of whom had sworn to stay maidens. (Virgins) The nymph was unrelentingly chased by Diana&#8217;s twin brother, Apollo, so that Diana changed the nymph into a violet to protect her. The modesty of the nymph is attributed to the violet.   So again the Unicorn has been associated with the virgin maiden.</p>
<p>The most interesting plant is the Scottish Thistle given Scotland long association with the Unicorn.</p>
<p>To summarise, whoever commissioned these tapestries had to be very wealthy, then as now the global elite think that wisdom and knowledge is their prerogative. The occult wisdom that they have has insured they stay in power, we are many, they are few, yet they have had complete power and dominion over us. And it is their aim to keep us all stupefied and in servitude.  I  also believe that they see the constellation of Monoceros as their  &#8220;Sion&#8221; in the galaxy, and they are creating there Sion on Earth, and the  enslaved Unicorn is symbolic of their Earthly Sion. Sion for them  maybe, not for the rest of us!  These tapestries clearly demonstrate that they even believe they have dominion over the Christ energy, but times are changing, the veils are lifting, the internet has given us all access to the knowledge that they have been hiding. THEIR DAYS ARE NUMBERED!  I am sure that there are many people who will not see the importance of these magnificent tapestries, when they were created the un-washed masses would have had no clue as to their true meaning, they have been on public display since 1937, and I believe I am the first to examine their true meanings.</p>
<p>The enslaved unicorn represents the enslavement of all mankind, and all that is good, these days they do it with drugs, TV/media, education/indoctrination, and vaccines. This keeps the masses dumbed down and servile, just like the perfectly content enslaved Unicorn.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers&#8230;. The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth.&#8221; </strong><strong>Aldous Huxley</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Within the next generation I believe that the world&#8217;s leaders will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience.&#8221;</p>
<p>On 21 October 1949, Huxley wrote to George Orwell, author of Nineteen Eighty-Four, congratulating him on &#8220;how fine and how profoundly important the book is&#8221;. In his letter to Orwell, he predicted the above quote. Source Wikipedia!</p>
<p>I have been working on this for over a year, and I have compiled a great deal of information on the subject, the tapestries covered in this blog, are just a small part of my study of the elites use of the Unicorn.  My series of vids on You Tube, “Prince William and the Unicorn”, give a lot more insight into the subject, and the findings of my research so far. It is an on going project, and I still have a great deal of information to be either put into blog or video.  <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFNj6iHU1_o&amp;list=UUp9ud2YF0lXQfolbGgdkf9A&amp;index=14&amp;feature=plcp">Link to part 1 of my &#8220;William &amp; The Unicorn&#8221; Series</a></p>
<p>The Rockefellers “Hunt for the Unicorn” tapestries, I felt deserved a blog of their own.  <strong>Sandra Barr</strong></p>
<p><strong>The wonderful <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Wsb4qBckU&amp;feature=youtu.be">Aaron Russo</a> exposing  the Rockefeller&#8217;s plans for humanity. This is a ten minute section of a  69 minute interview, where he reveals that the Rockefeller&#8217;s want every  person on the planet micro-chipped. He also testifies that Nick  Rockefeller told him about 9/11 eleven months before it happened. Russo  was a personal friend of Nick Rockefeller, sadly Aaron died shortly  after this interview from bladder cancer.</strong></p>

<p>Candidates competing for the Republican presidential nomination</p>
<p>The single greatest threat to the United States is not joblessness, foreclosures, another recession or skyrocketing debt or health care costs. Nor is it terrorism, China or declining influence abroad. No, the single greatest threat to our country is today&#8217;s Republican Party.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because the GOP is relentlessly pursuing a policy of the American public be damned, so that next year Republicans can regain the national political dominance they held from 2001 to 2006. Their sole, selfish aim is to complete the transformation of the U.S. to a government of, by and for the rich and the far-right.</p>
<p>Veteran reporter Robert Parry, a retired correspondent for the Associated Press and Newsweek, accurately summed up that policy this way:</p>
<p>Modern Republicans have a simple approach to politics when they are not in the White House: Make America as ungovernable as possible by using any means available&#8230; Control as much as possible what the population gets to see and hear; create chaos for your opponent&#8217;s government, economically and politically; blame it for the mess; and establish in the minds of the voters that their only way out is to submit, that the pain will stop once your side is back in power&#8230;</p>
<p>Republicans and the Right&#8230; are well positioned to roll the U.S. economy off the cliff and blame the catastrophe on Obama. Indeed, that may be their best hope for winning Election 2012.</p>
<p>George W. Bush&#8217;s presidency, with Congressional Republicans in lockstep behind him, made an excellent start on the destructive transformation of this country: two unpaid-for wars (one based on lies); failure to prevent the worst terrorist attack on the homeland or punish its instigators; waste of tens of thousands of U.S. and foreign lives, and worldwide diplomatic failure.</p>
<p>At home, approval of torture, warrantless wiretapping and ineptness and indifference in the face of Hurricane Katrina created a permanent stain. Economically, Republican tax cuts created few jobs and increased the national debt by 75 percent. What the Washington Post dubbed &#8220;executive grandeur&#8221; made income inequality the worst since the 1930s Depression. Finally, the GOP&#8217;s failed stewardship of the economy resulted in a crisis that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke testified was even worse than the Depression.</p>
<p>When national revulsion against Republican misrule drove Democrats into power in 2008, the GOP resorted to today&#8217;s strategy. It became evident even before the new Democratic president took office when the Republican Party&#8217;s de facto leader, Rush Limbaugh, declared: &#8220;I hope Obama fails.&#8221; And since the inauguration, Republicans have done everything in their power to assure that failure, although it&#8217;s meant misery for millions of Americans.</p>
<p>&#8220;I wish we had been able to obstruct more,&#8221; says Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell who succeeded brilliantly in keeping his members in line in opposing every important measure that&#8217;s good for this country including presidential initiatives for health care, financial regulation, economic stimulus and a dozen executive appointments and even more judicial ones needed to keep government functioning.</p>
<p>Given the frightening record of business and financial deception and fraud that led to the economic crisis, who in their right mind could possibly oppose increased regulation of business and enhanced protection for consumers? The answer: almost all Republicans. Elizabeth Warren is too committed to consumer protection to win the votes of Senate Republicans acting for their paymasters at the chambers of commerce.</p>
<p>President Obama&#8217;s new law extending health insurance to 30 million more people is too good for working Americans. Beaten in their attempt to vote it down, Republicans are now suing to kill it. Remember the GOP plan? It proposed health insurance for one-tenth as many people. Is it any wonder that people in all other industrial countries, where health care is a right, laugh at us.</p>
<p>American business hates government &#8212; except when it needs government help. Which is just about all the time. And it&#8217;s just fine with Republicans whenever business goes to the government for help. In fact, GOPers are almost always corporate-friendly, as opposed to people-friendly. And they have a right-wing Supreme Court majority that helps them buy legislation by equating money with speech and corporations with human beings.</p>
<p>But heaven forbid the average citizen should try to get a government benefit, or a job or more unemployment insurance or aid in taking back a home seized (often illegally) by the bank, or getting health care for a gravely ill child with a pre-existing condition. Republicans are happy to vote overwhelmingly against him, ignoring the Constitutional command that government &#8220;promote the general welfare.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ronald Reagan, a president with rich friends and poor instincts, did this country an unforgiveable disservice by encouraging Americans to hate and distrust their government. Remember when he declared: &#8220;Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem,&#8221; and joked that: &#8220;The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: &#8216;I&#8217;m from the government and I&#8217;m here to help.&#8221; Contrast that with Reagan&#8217;s almost religious reverence for &#8220;the magic of the marketplace.&#8221;</p>
<p>But my own life experience, like that of millions of Americans, tells me that in important ways the government is more reliable than the marketplace. I spent a good part of my career working for one of the largest, most triumphant examples of American capitalism: General Electric. When I retired late in 1997, GE shares were selling for $68.56; when GE CEO Jack Welch, the greatest corporate genius of them all, quit 11 months later, those shares had dropped to $39.66. In 2009, under his successor genius, they fell as low as $6.66. And they closed the other day at $18.49 &#8212; only about a quarter of what they were when I retired. Needless to say, those shares formed a large part of my now badly-depleted retirement assets. Fortunately for me, GE was one of a declining number of companies that still provided an additional defined benefit pension plan for employes like me &#8212; something the company is now proposing to drop for new union hires.</p>
<p>In contrast to my GE stock disaster, Social Security hasn&#8217;t missed a monthly payment to me for more than 13 years, or to my wife in nine (imagine the value of our Social Security stock portfolios if Republicans had succeeded in their privatization scheme). Medicare enabled me to have spinal surgery, a hip replacement, cataract operations in both eyes and radiation that cured my prostate cancer; and my wife to have a hip and knee replaced, without breaking us financially.</p>
<p>Maybe that&#8217;s why I call Reagan a liar and a fool for his denunciations of those benefits from our government to me and millions of others. And you should, too. But Republicans regard him almost as a saint. And those same Republicans just voted almost unanimously in Congress to kill Medicare and replace it with Rep. Ryan&#8217;s pathetic plan to replace single payer with cut-rate vouchers for money-hungry private insurers. And they&#8217;re now holding a critically important increase in the debt ceiling hostage to measures that would weaken the recovery.</p>

<p>While many of us are working to ensure that the Occupy movement will have a lasting impact, it’s worthwhile to consider other countries where masses of people succeeded in nonviolently bringing about a high degree of democracy and economic justice.</p>
<p>Sweden and Norway, for example, both experienced a major power shift in the 1930s after prolonged nonviolent struggle. They “fired” the top 1 percent of people who set the direction for society and created the basis for something different.</p>
<p>Both countries had a history of horrendous poverty. When the 1 percent was in charge, hundreds of thousands of people emigrated to avoid starvation. Under the leadership of the working class, however, both countries built robust and successful economies that nearly eliminated poverty, expanded free university education, abolished slums, provided excellent health care available to all as a matter of right and created a system of full employment. Unlike the Norwegians, the Swedes didn’t find oil, but that didn’t stop them from building what the latest CIA World Factbook calls “an enviable standard of living.”</p>
<p>Neither country is a utopia, as readers of the crime novels by Stieg Larsson, Kurt Wallender and Jo Nesbro will know. Critical left-wing authors such as these try to push Sweden and Norway to continue on the path toward more fully just societies. However, as an American activist who first encountered Norway as a student in 1959 and learned some of its language and culture, the achievements I found amazed me. I remember, for example, bicycling for hours through a small industrial city, looking in vain for substandard housing. Sometimes resisting the evidence of my eyes, I made up stories that “accounted for” the differences I saw: “small country,” “homogeneous,” “a value consensus.” I finally gave up imposing my frameworks on these countries and learned the real reason: their own histories.</p>
<p>Then I began to learn that the Swedes and Norwegians paid a price for their standards of living through nonviolent struggle. There was a time when Scandinavian workers didn’t expect that the electoral arena could deliver the change they believed in. They realized that, with the 1 percent in charge, electoral “democracy” was stacked against them, so nonviolent direct action was needed to exert the power for change.</p>
<p>In both countries, the troops were called out to defend the 1 percent; people died. Award-winning Swedish filmmaker Bo Widerberg told the Swedish story vividly in Ådalen 31, which depicts the strikers killed in 1931 and the sparking of a nationwide general strike. (You can read more about this case in an entry by Max Rennebohm in the Global Nonviolent Action Database.)</p>
<p>The Norwegians had a harder time organizing a cohesive people’s movement because Norway’s small population—about three million—was spread out over a territory the size of Britain. People were divided by mountains and fjords, and they spoke regional dialects in isolated valleys. In the nineteenth century, Norway was ruled by Denmark and then by Sweden; in the context of Europe Norwegians were the “country rubes,” of little consequence. Not until 1905 did Norway finally become independent.</p>
<p>When workers formed unions in the early 1900s, they generally turned to Marxism, organizing for revolution as well as immediate gains. They were overjoyed by the overthrow of the czar in Russia, and the Norwegian Labor Party joined the Communist International organized by Lenin. Labor didn’t stay long, however. One way in which most Norwegians parted ways with Leninist strategy was on the role of violence: Norwegians wanted to win their revolution through collective nonviolent struggle, along with establishing co-ops and using the electoral arena.</p>
<p>In the 1920s strikes increased in intensity. The town of Hammerfest formed a commune in 1921, led by workers councils; the army intervened to crush it. The workers’ response verged toward a national general strike. The employers, backed by the state, beat back that strike, but workers erupted again in the ironworkers’ strike of 1923–24.</p>
<p>The Norwegian 1 percent decided not to rely simply on the army; in 1926 they formed a social movement called the Patriotic League, recruiting mainly from the middle class. By the 1930s, the League included as many as 100,000 people for armed protection of strike breakers—this in a country of only 3 million!</p>
<p>The Labor Party, in the meantime, opened its membership to anyone, whether or not in a unionized workplace. Middle-class Marxists and some reformers joined the party. Many rural farm workers joined the Labor Party, as well as some small landholders. Labor leadership understood that in a protracted struggle, constant outreach and organizing was needed to a nonviolent campaign. In the midst of the growing polarization, Norway’s workers launched another wave of strikes and boycotts in 1928.</p>
<p>The Depression hit bottom in 1931. More people were jobless there than in any other Nordic country. Unlike in the U.S., the Norwegian union movement kept the people thrown out of work as members, even though they couldn’t pay dues. This decision paid off in mass mobilizations. When the employers’ federation locked employees out of the factories to try to force a reduction of wages, the workers fought back with massive demonstrations.</p>
<p>Many people then found that their mortgages were in jeopardy. (Sound familiar?) The Depression continued, and farmers were unable to keep up payment on their debts. As turbulence hit the rural sector, crowds gathered nonviolently to prevent the eviction of families from their farms. The Agrarian Party, which included larger farmers and had previously been allied with the Conservative Party, began to distance itself from the 1 percent; some could see that the ability of the few to rule the many was in doubt.</p>
<p>By 1935, Norway was on the brink. The Conservative-led government was losing legitimacy daily; the 1 percent became increasingly desperate as militancy grew among workers and farmers. A complete overthrow might be just a couple years away, radical workers thought. However, the misery of the poor became more urgent daily, and the Labor Party felt increasing pressure from its members to alleviate their suffering, which it could do only if it took charge of the government in a compromise agreement with the other side.</p>
<p>This it did. In a compromise that allowed owners to retain the right to own and manage their firms, Labor in 1935 took the reins of government in coalition with the Agrarian Party. They expanded the economy and started public works projects to head toward a policy of full employment that became the keystone of Norwegian economic policy. Labor’s success and the continued militancy of workers enabled steady inroads against the privileges of the 1 percent, to the point that majority ownership of all large firms was taken by the public interest. (There is an entry on this case as well at the Global Nonviolent Action Database.)</p>
<p>The 1 percent thereby lost its historic power to dominate the economy and society. Not until three decades later could the Conservatives return to a governing coalition, having by then accepted the new rules of the game, including a high degree of public ownership of the means of production, extremely progressive taxation, strong business regulation for the public good and the virtual abolition of poverty. When Conservatives eventually tried a fling with neoliberal policies, the economy generated a bubble and headed for disaster. (Sound familiar?)</p>
<p>Labor stepped in, seized the three largest banks, fired the top management, left the stockholders without a dime and refused to bail out any of the smaller banks. The well-purged Norwegian financial sector was not one of those countries that lurched into crisis in 2008; carefully regulated and much of it publicly owned, the sector was solid.</p>

Shane Bauer.  Roseanne presents her own web site, <a href="http://www.roseanneworld.com/blog/home.php" target="_blank">roseanneworld.com</a>, and then moves on to discusses her new book: <a href="http://www.powells.com/biblio/1-9781439154823-2" target="_blank">Roseannearchy</a>, also known as &#8220;Dispatches from the Nut Farm.&#8221;  It&#8217;s really her personal Journal on leaving &#8216;Babylon&#8217; (Hollywood), for a real life in Hawaii.  Golly gee, she sounds like &#8220;gasp&#8221; a real person here, boyz and grrls!  Awesome, indeed &#8211; especially in this day and age!  What I expected was a semi-comedic tour of &#8220;Roseanne&#8217;s World,&#8221; perhaps a distant cousin to &#8220;Wayne&#8217;s World.&#8221;  What I got was a carefully reasoned and well thought-out semi-comedic presentation of a serious plan to save the world we already have.  She&#8217;s done a marvelous job analyzing/structuring her &#8220;Roseanearchy&#8221; here, folks!  Next up is Cindy Hiickey for her son, Shane Bauer.  In July 2009, Josh Fatal and Shane Bauer, along with his fiancée Sarah Shourd were detained by Iranian forces while they were were enjoying a recreational hike in the mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan.  There are conflicting news reports about whether Iranian forces entered Iraq to arrest the three young Americans or they strayed across the poorly marked border by mistake.  Supposedly, these three crossed the border into Iran illegally.  Even Sarah says there were absolutely no border markings anywhere.  Sarah, 32, was released on September 14, 2010, on humanitarian grounds after spending 410 days in solitary confinement and immediately vowed to work for the freedom of Shane and Josh, both 28.  All three were charged shortly before Sarah&#8217;s release with illegal entry and espionage at a hearing in Evin Prison in Tehran where they were finally allowed to meet their lawyer for only the first time.  Shane, Sarah and Josh are innocent of any crime.

<p>The Wikileaks revelations have surely advanced such awareness and understanding, and are a valuable contribution for that reason&#8221;.</p>

<h3>At an opulent annual blowout, bailed-out bankers haze newbies, mock OWS and show just how out of touch they are</h3>
</div>
</div>
<p>Topics:Wall Street, Great Recession</p>
<p>A week or so ago, we read in The New York Times about what in the Gilded Age of the Roman Empire was known as a bacchanal – a big blowout at which the imperial swells got together and whooped it up.</p>
<p>This one occurred here in Manhattan at the annual black-tie dinner and induction ceremony for Kappa Beta Phi.  That’s the very exclusive Wall Street fraternity of billionaire bankers, and private equity and hedge fund predators. People like Wilbur Ross, the  vulture capitalist; Robert Benmosche, the CEO of AIG, the insurance giant that received tens of billions in bailout money; and Alan “Ace” Greenberg, former chairman of Bear Stearns, the failed investment bank bought by JPMorgan Chase.</p>
<p>They got together at the St. Regis Hotel off Fifth Avenue to eat rack of lamb, drink and haze their newest members, who are made to dress in drag, sing and perform skits while braving the insults, wine-soaked napkins and petit fours – those fancy little frosted cakes — hurled at them by the old guard. In other words, a gilt-edged Animal House, food fight and all.</p>
<p>This year, the butt of many a joke were the protesters of Occupy Wall Street. In one of the sketches, the bond specialist James Lebenthal scolded a demonstrator with a face tattoo, “Go home, wash that off your face and get back to work.” And in another, a member — dressed like a protester – was told, “You’re pathetic, you liberal. You need a bath!”</p>
<p>Pretty hilarious stuff. The whole affair’s reminiscent of the wingdings the robber barons used to throw during America’s own Gilded Age a century and a half ago, when great wealth amassed at the top, far from the squalor and misery of working stiffs. Guests would arrive in the glittering mansions for costume balls that rivaled Versailles, reinforcing the sense of superiority and the virtue of a ruling class that depended on the toil and sweat of working people.</p>
<p>That’s consistent with the attitude expressed by several of these types after Occupy Wall Street sprung up; bankers told the Times on the record that they could understand the anger of the protesters camped on their doorstep;  but privately, a  hedge manager said, “Most… view [it] as ragtag group looking for sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll.”</p>
<p>So sayeth the winners in our winner-take all economy. The very guys who were celebrating at the St. Regis because they were too big to fail. Even when they fell flat on their faces, the government was there to dust them off, bail them out and send them back to fight the class war with nary a harsh word or punishment. Talk about a nanny welfare state.</p>
<p>None of this was by accident. The last three decades have witnessed a carefully calculated heist worthy of Robert Redford and Paul Newman in “The Sting” — but on a massive scale. It was an inside job, politically engineered by Wall Street and Washington working hand-in-hand, sticky fingers with sticky fingers, to turn the legend of Robin Hood on its head – giving to the rich and taking from everybody else. Don’t take our word for it – it’s all on the record.</p>
<p>The biggest of the big boys was Citigroup, at one time the world’s largest financial institution. When the meltdown hit in 2008, the bank cut more than 50,000 jobs and you and other taxpayers shelled out more than $45 billion to save it. And how are Citigroup executives doing? Nicely, thank you. Last year, its CEO, Vikram Pandit, took home $1.75 million in base salary, and was awarded $3.7 million in deferred stock.</p>
<p>According to the Times, “Citigroup is expected to disclose the rest of his pay, cash, be it upfront or deferred, in March. In addition, while not necessarily for work performed in 2011, Mr. Pandit last year was awarded a $16.7 million retention bonus, plus stock options that could add $6.5 million to the package’s overall value.” Makes you want to cry out, “Retain me! Retain me!”</p>
<p>To be fair, Vikram Pandit was at the World Economic Summit in Davos, Switzerland last week, where he told Bloomberg News, “It’s important for the financial system to acknowledge that there’s a great deal of anger directed at it… Trust has been broken. Banks have to serve clients, not serve themselves.” What’s more, he has said that the “sentiments” expressed by Occupy Wall Street demonstrators were “completely understandable.”</p>

<p>Over Monsanto&#8217;s 110-year history (1901-2011), Monsanto Co (MON.N), the world&#8217;s largest seed company, has evolved from primarily an industrial chemical concern into a pure agricultural products company. MON profited $2 billion dollars in 2009, but their record profits fell to only $1 billion in 2010 after activists exposed Monsanto for doing terribly evil acts like suing good farmers and feeding uranium to pregnant women. Below is a timeline of Monsanto&#8217;s dark history.</p>
<p>Monsanto, best know today for its agricultural biotechnology GMO products, has a long and dirty history of polluting this country and others with some of the most toxic compounds known to humankind. From PCBs to Agent Orange to Roundup, we have many reasons to question the motives of this evil corporation that claims to be working to reduce environmental destruction and feed the world with its genetically engineered GMO food crops. Monsanto has been repeatedly fined and ruled against for, among many things: mislabeling containers of Roundup, failing to report health data to EPA, plus chemical spills and improper chemical deposition.</p>
<p>The name Monsanto has since, for many around the world, come to symbolize the greed, arrogance, scandal and hardball business practices of many multinational corporations. A couple of historical factoids not generally known: Monsanto was heavily involved during WWII in the creation of the first nuclear bomb for the Manhattan Project via its facilities in Dayton Ohio and called the Dayton Project headed by Charlie Thomas, Director of Monsanto&#8217;s Central Research Department (and later Monsanto President) and it operated a nuclear facility for the federal government in Miamisburg, also in Ohio, called the Mound Project until the 80s.</p>
<p>Monsanto Company History Overview</p>
<p>Monsanto is a US based agricultural and pharmaceutical monopoly, Monsanto Company is a producer of herbicides, prescription pharmaceutical drugs, and genetically engineered (GMO) seeds. The global Monsanto corporation has operated sales offices, manufacturing plants, and research facilities in more than 100 countries. Monsanto has the largest share of the global GMO crops market. In 2001 its crops accounted for 91% of the total area of GMO crops planted worldwide. Based on 2001 figures Monsanto was the second biggest seed company in the world, and the third biggest agrochemical company.</p>
<p>Historically Monsanto has been involved with the production of PCBs, DDT, dioxins and the defoliant / chemical weapon ‘Agent Orange&#8217; (sprayed on American troops and Vietnamese civilians during the Vietnam War). Originally a chemical company, Until the late 1990s Monsanto was a much larger ‘lifesciences&#8217; company whose business covered chemicals, polymers, food additives and pharmaceuticals, as well as agricultural products.</p>
<p>All of these other chemical business areas have now been demerged or sold off. Monsanto sold its chemical business in 1997 to build a presence in biotechnology, developing NON-ORGANIC GMO soybeans and corn (classified as a pesticide and banned in the EU) to resist the poisonous affects of its Roundup herbicide. Monsanto&#8217;s key business areas are now agrochemicals, seeds and traits (including GMO crops), Monsanto also produced NutraSweet, a GMO sugar substitute. Monsanto recently sold it&#8217;s GMO bovine growth hormones monopoly to Eli Lilly, and sold it&#8217;s aspartame business to Pfizer.</p>
<p>Monsanto&#8217;s business is currently run in two parts: Agricultural Productivity, and Seeds and Genomics. The Agricultural Productivity segment includes Roundup herbicide and other agri-chemicals, and the Animal Agriculture business. The Seeds and Genomics segment consists of seed companies and related biotechnology traits, and a technology platform based on plant genomics. In reality of course these two segments are inseparable, since the agri-chemicals are becoming increasingly dependent on the seeds segment for sales.</p>

<tr>
<td>1901<a name="1901"></a>: Monsanto was founded in St. Louis, Missouri by <strong>John Francis Queeny</strong>, a <img src="http://bestmeal.info/images/monsanto/saccharine/sweet-n-low.png" alt="Sweet 'N Low" width="240" height="169" align="right" />30-year veteran of the pharmaceutical industry. Queeny funded the start-up with capital from <strong>Coca-Cola</strong> (<strong>saccharin</strong>). Founder John Francis Queeny named <strong>Monsanto Chemical Works</strong> after his wife, Olga Mendez <em>Monsanto</em>. Queeny&#8217;s father in law was <strong><a href="http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/localities.caribbean.usvi.stthomas/47.48.49.51/mb.ashx" target="_blank">Emmanuel Mendes de Monsanto</a></strong>, wealthy financier of a <em><strong>sugar company</strong></em> active in Vieques, Puerto Rico and based in St. Thomas in the Danish West Indies.</p>

<p>1902: Monsanto manufactures its first product, the artificial sweetener Saccharin, which Monsanto sold to the Coca-Cola Company. The U.S.</p>
<p>1904: Queeny persuaded family and friends to invest $15000, Monsanto has strong ties to The Walt Disney Company, it having financial backing from the Order&#8217;s Bank of America founded in Jesuit-ruled San Francisco by Italian-American Roman-Catholic Knight of Malta Amadeo Giannini.</p>
<p>1905: Monsanto company was also producing caffeine and vanillin and was beginning to turn a profit.</p>
<p>1906: The government&#8217;s monopoly on meat regulation began, when in response to public panic resulting from the publication of Upton Sinclair&#8217;s The Jungle, Teddy Roosevelt signed legislation mandating federal meat inspections. Today, Salatin claims that agricultural regulation favors multinational corporations such as ConAgra and Monsanto because the treasonous science that supports the USDA regulatory framework is paid for by these corporations, which continue to give large grants to leading schools and research facilities.</p>
<p>1908: John Francis Queeny leaves his part-time job as the new branch manager of another drug house the Powers-Weightman-Rosegarten Company to become Monsanto&#8217;s full-time president.</p>
<p>1912: Agriculture again came to the forefront with the creation of the DeKalb County Farm Bureau, one of the first organizations of its kind. In the 1930s the DeKalb AgResearch Corporation (today MONSANTO) marketed its first hybrid seed corn.</p>
<p>1914–1918: During WWI, cut off from imported European chemicals, Monsanto was forced to manufacture it&#8217;s own, and it&#8217;s position as a leading force in the chemical industry was assured. Unable to import foreign supplies from Europe during World War I, Queeny turned to manufacturing his own raw materials. It was then his scientists discovered that the Germans, in anticipation of the war, had ripped out vital pages from their research books which explained various chemical processes.</p>
<p>1915: Business expanded rapidly. Monsanto sales surpass the $1,000,000 mark for the first time.</p>
<p>1917: U.S. government sues Monsanto over the safety of Monsanto&#8217;s original product, saccharin. Monsanto eventually won, after several years in court.</p>
<p>1917: Monsanto added more and more products: vanillin, caffeine, and drugs used as sedatives and laxatives.</p>
<p>1917: Bayer, The German competition cut prices in an effort to drive Monsanto out of business, but failed. Soon, Monsanto diversified into phenol (a World War I -era antiseptic), and aspirin when Bayer&#8217;s German patent expired in 1917. Monsanto began making aspirin, and soon became the largest manufacturer world-wide.</p>
<p>1918: With the purchase of an Illinois acid company, Monsanto began to widen the scope of its factory operations.</p>
<p>Mar 15, 1918: More than 500 of the 750 employees of the Monsanto Chemical Works, which has big contracts for the Government, went on strike, forcing the plant to dose down.</p>
<p>Aug 15, 1919: Thereafter much of it was declared surplus, and a contract was entered into with the Monsanto Chemical Co., of St. Louis, Mo., by which contract the Director of Sales authorized the Monsanto Co. to sell for the United States its surplus phenol, estimated at 27521242 pounds, for a market price to be fixed from time to time by the representative of the contracting officer of the United States, but with a minimum price of 9 cents a pound.</p>
<p>1919: Monsanto established its presence in Europe by entering into a partnership with Graesser&#8217;s Chemical Works at Cefn Mawr near Ruabon, Wales to produce vanillin, salicylic acid, aspirin and later rubber.</p>
<p>1920s: In its third decade, Monsanto expanded into basic industrial chemicals like sulfuric acid and other chemicals.</p>
<p>Jan 5, 1920: The petitioner was authorized to sell two tracts of land in the Common Fields of Cahokia, St. Clair County, containing 2.403 acres and 3.46 acres respectively, to the Monsanto Chemical Works for the sum of $1500.</p>
<p>1920-1921: A postwar depression during the early 1920s affected profits, but by the time John Queeny turned over Monsanto to Edgar in 1928 the financial situation was much brighter.</p>
<p>1926: Environmental policy was generally governed by local governments, Monsanto Chemical Company founded and incorporated the town of Monsanto, later renamed Sauget, Illinois, to provide a more business friendly environment for one of its chemical plants. For years, the Monsanto plant in Sauget was the nation&#8217;s largest producer of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). And although polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were banned in the 1970s, they remain in the water along Dead Creek in Sauget.</p>
<p>1927: Monsanto had over 2,000 employees, with offices across the country and in England.</p>
<p>1927: Shortly after its initial listing on the New York Stock Exchange, Monsanto moved to acquire 2 chemical companies that specialized in rubber. Other chemicals were added in later years, including detergents.</p>
<p>1928: John Queeny&#8217;s son Edgar Monsanto Queeny takes over the Monsanto company. Monsanto had gone public, a move that paved the way for future expansion. At this time, Monsanto had 55 shareholders, 1,000 employees, and owned a small company in Britain.</p>
<p>1929: Monsanto acquires Rubber Services Laboratories. Charlie Sommer joined Monsanto, and later became president of Monsanto in 1960.</p>
<p>October 1929: The folks at Monsanto Co. fished through their records, but they couldn&#8217;t find out why the company&#8217;s symbol is MTC. Monsanto went public in October 1929, just a few days before the great stock market crash. Some symbols are holdovers from the 19th century, when telegraph operators used single-letter symbols for the most active stocks to conserve wire space, says the New York Stock Exchange. Mergers, acquisitions and failure have caused many single-letter symbols to change</p>
<p>1929: Monsanto began production of PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) in the United States. PCBs were considered an industrial wonder chemical &#8211; an oil that would not burn, was impervious to degradation and had almost limitless applications. Today PCBs are considered one of the gravest chemical threats on the planet. PCBs, widely used as lubricants, hydraulic fluids, cutting oils, waterproof coatings and liquid sealants, are potent carcinogens and have been implicated in reproductive, developmental and immune system disorders. The world&#8217;s center of PCB manufacturing was Monsanto&#8217;s plant on the outskirts of East St. Louis, Illinois, which has the highest rate of fetal death and immature births in the state.</p>

<p>Monsanto documents : many emblazoned with warnings such as &#8216;CONFIDENTIAL: Read and Destroy&#8217; : show that for decades, the corporate giant concealed what it did and what it knew.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ken Cook of the Environmental Working Group says that based on the Monsanto documents made public, Monsanto &#8220;knew the truth from the very beginning. They lied about it. They hid the truth from their neighbors.&#8221; One Monsanto memo explains their justification: &#8220;We can&#8217;t afford to lose one dollar of business.&#8221; Eventually Monsanto was found guilty of conduct &#8220;so outrageous in character and extreme in degree as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency so as to be regarded as atrocious and utterly intolerable in civilized society&#8221;.</p>
<p>1930s: DeKalb AgResearch Corporation (today MONSANTO) marketed its first **HYBRID** seed corn (maize).</p>
<p>1933: Incorporated as Monsanto Chemical Company</p>
<p>1934: &#8220;I recognized my two selves: a crusading idealist and a cold, granitic believer in the law of the jungle&#8221; &#8211; Edgar Monsanto Queeny, Monsanto chairman, 1943-63, &#8220;The Spirit of Enterprise&#8221;</p>
<p>1935: Edward O&#8217;Neal (who became chairperson in 1964) came to Monsanto with the acquisition of the Swann Corporation. Monsanto goes into the soap and detergents industry, starts producing phosphorus.</p>
<p>1938: Monsanto goes into the plastic business (the year after DuPont helped ban hemp because it was superior to their new NYLON product made from Rockefeller OIL). Monsanto became involved in plastics when it completely took over Fiberloid, one of the oldest nitrocellulose production companies, which had a 50% stake in Shawinigan Resins.</p>
<p>1939: Monsanto purchased Resinox, a subsidiary of Corn Products, and Commercial Solvents, which specialized in phenolic resins. Thus, just before the war, Monsanto&#8217;s plastics interests included phenol-formaldehyde thermosetting resins, cellulose and vinyl plastics.</p>
<p>1939-1945: Monsanto conducts research on uranium for the Manhattan Project in Dayton, Ohio. Dr. Charles Thomas, who later served as Monsanto&#8217;s chairman of the board, was present at the first test explosion of the atomic bomb. During World War II, Monsanto played a significant role in the Manhattan Project to develop the atom bomb. Monsanto operated the Dayton Project, and later Mound Laboratories in Miamisburg, Ohio, for the Manhattan Project, the development of the first nuclear weapons and, after 1947, the Atomic Energy Commission.</p>
<p>1940s: Monsanto had begun focusing on plastics and synthetic fabrics like polystyrene (still widely used in food packaging and other consumer products), which is ranked 5th in the EPA&#8217;s 1980s listing of chemicals whose production generates the most total hazardous waste. From the 1940s onwards Monsanto was one of the top 10 US chemical companies.</p>
<p>1941: By the time the United States entered World War II, the domestic chemical industry had attained far greater independence from Europe. Monsanto, strengthened by its several acquisitions, was also prepared to produce such strategic materials as phosphates and inorganic chemicals. Most important was Monsanto&#8217;s acquisition of a research and development laboratory called Thomas and Hochwalt. The well-known Dayton, Ohio, firm strengthened Monsanto at the time and provided the basis for some of its future achievements in chemical technology. One of its most important discoveries was styrene monomer, a key ingredient in synthetic rubber and a crucial product for the armed forces during the war. Edward J. Bock joined Monsanto in 1941 as an engineer &#8211; he rose through the ranks to become a member of the board of directors in 1965 and president in 1968.</p>
<p>1943: Massive Texas City plant starts producing synthetic rubber for the Allies in World War II.</p>
<p>1944: Monsanto began manufacturing DDT, along with some 15 other companies. The use of DDT in the U.S. was banned by Congress in 1972.</p>
<p>1945: Following WW2, Monsanto championed the use of chemical pesticides in agriculture, and began manufacturing the herbicide 2,4,5-T, which contains dioxin. Monsanto has been accused of covering up or failing to report dioxin contamination in a wide range of its products.</p>
<p>1949: Monsanto acquired American Viscose from England&#8217;s Courtauld family.</p>
<p>1950: Monsanto began to produce urethane foam &#8211; which was flexible, easy to use, and later became crucial in making automobile interiors.</p>
<p>1953: Toxicity tests on the effects of 2 PCBs showed that more than 50% of the rats subjected to them DIED, and ALL of them showed damage.</p>
<p>1954: Monsanto partnered with German chemical giant Bayer to form Mobay and market polyurethanes in the USA.</p>
<p>1955: Monsanto acquired Lion Oil refinery, increasing its assets by more than 50%. Stockholders during this time numbered 43,000. Monsanto starts producing petroleum-based fertilizer.</p>
<p>1957: Monsanto moved to the suburban community of Creve Coeur, having finally outgrown its headquarters in downtown St. Louis, Missouri.</p>
<p>1957-1967: Monsanto was the creator of several attractions in Disney&#8217;s Tommorrowland. Often they revolved around the the virtues of chemicals and plastics. Their &#8220;House of the Future&#8221; was constructed entirely of plastic, but it was NOT biodegradable. &#8220;After attracting a total of 20 million visitors from 1957 to 1967, Disney finally tore the house down, but discovered it would not go down without a fight. According to Monsanto Magazine, wrecking balls literally bounced off the glass-fiber, reinforced polyester material. Torches, jackhammers, chain saws and shovels did not work. Finally, choker cables were used to squeeze off parts of the house bit by bit to be trucked away.&#8221;</p>
<p>1959: Monsanto sets up Monsanto Electronics Co. in Palo Alto, begins producing ultra-pure silicon for the high-tech industry, in an area which would later become a Superfund site.</p>
<p>1960: Edgar Queeny turned over the chair of Monsanto to Charles Thomas, one of the founders of the research and development laboratory so important to Monsanto. Charlie Sommer, who had joined Monsanto in 1929, became president. According to Monsanto historian Dan Forrestal, &#8220;Leadership during the 1960s and early 1970s came principally from &#8230; executives whose Monsanto roots ran deep.&#8221; Under their combined leadership Monsanto saw several important developments, including the establishment of the Agricultural Chemicals division with focus on herbicides, created to consolidate Monsanto&#8217;s diverse agrichemical product lines.</p>
<p><a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=agent+orange+baby" target="_blank"><img src="http://bestmeal.info/images/environment/sprayed-and-betrayed.jpg" border="0" alt="agent orange" width="181" height="181" align="right" /></a></p>
<p>a host of debilitating symptoms attributable to Agent Orange exposure. Agent Orange contaminated more than 3,000,000 civilians and servicemen. According to Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 4.8 million Vietnamese people were exposed to Agent Orange, resulting in 400,000 deaths and disabilities, plus 500,000 children born with birth defects, leading to calls for Monsanto to be prosecuted for war crimes. Internal Monsanto memos show that Monsanto knew of the problems of dioxin contamination of Agent Orange when it sold it to the U.S. government for use in Vietnam. Look at what the &#8220;EFFECTS&#8221; of agent orange look like&#8230; keep in mind it was used to remove leaves from the trees where AMERICAN SOLDIERS were breathing, eating, sleeping.</p>
<p>1962: Public concern over the environment began to escalate. Ralph Nader&#8217;s activities and Rachel Carson&#8217;s book Silent Spring had been influential in increasing the U.S. public&#8217;s awareness of activities within the chemical industry in the 1960s, and Monsanto responded in several ways to the pressure.</p>
<p>1962: Monsanto&#8217;s European expansion continued, with Brussels becoming the permanent overseas headquarters.</p>
<p>1964: Monsanto changed its name to Monsanto Company in acknowledgment of its diverse product line. The company consisted of 8 divisions, including petroleum, fibers, building materials, and packaging. Edward O&#8217;Neal became chairperson (came to Monsanto in 1935 with the acquisition of the Swann Corporation) was the first chair in Monsanto history who had not first held the post of president.</p>
<p>1964: Monsanto introduced &#8220;biodegradable&#8221; detergents.</p>
<p>1965: While working on an ulcer drug in December, James M. Schlatter, a chemist at G.D. Searle &amp; Company, accidentally discovers aspartame, a substance that is 180x sweeter than sugar yet has no calories.</p>
<p><img src="http://bestmeal.info/images/monsanto/astroturf.jpg" alt="Monsanto Astroturf" width="340" height="238" align="right" /></p>
<p>regime, and was the main supplier of Zyklon-B gas to the German government during the extermination phase of the Holocaust; IG Farben was not dissolved until 2003.</p>
<p>1967: Searle began the safety tests on aspartame that were necessary for applying for FDA approval of food additives. Dr. Harold Waisman, a biochemist at the University of Wisconsin, conducts aspartame safety tests on infant monkeys on behalf of the Searle Company. Of the 7 monkeys that were being fed aspartame mixed with milk, 1 monkey DIED and 5 other monkeys had grand mal seizures.</p>
<p>1968: Edgar Queeny dies, leaving no heirs. Edward J. Bock (who had joined Monsanto in 1941 as an engineer) become a member of the board of directors in 1965, and became president of Monsanto in 1968.</p>
<p>1968: With experts at Monsanto in no doubt that Monsanto&#8217;s PCBs were responsible for contamination, Monsanto set up a committee to assess its options. In a paper distributed to only 12 people but which surfaced at the trial in 2002, Monsanto admitted &#8220;that the evidence proving the persistence of these compounds and their universal presence as residues in the environment is beyond question &#8230; the public and legal pressures to eliminate them to prevent global contamination are inevitable&#8221;. Monsanto papers seen by The Guardian newspaper reveal near panic. &#8220;The subject is snowballing. Where do we go from here? The alternatives: go out of business; sell the hell out of them as long as we can and do nothing else; try to stay in business; have alternative products&#8221;, wrote the recipient of one paper.</p>
<p>1968: Monsanto became the first organization to mass-produce visible LEDs, using gallium arsenide phosphide to produce red LEDs suitable for indicators. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) ushered in the era of solid-state lights. From 1968 to 1970, sales doubled every few months. Their products (discrete LEDs and seven-segment numeric displays) became the standards of industry. The primary markets then were electronic calculators, digital watches, and digital clocks.</p>
<p>1969: High overhead costs and a sluggish national economy led to a dramatic 29% decrease in earnings.</p>
<p>1969: Monsanto wrote a confidential Pollution Abatement Plan which admitted that &#8220;the problem involves the entire United States, Canada and sections of Europe, especially the UK and Sweden&#8221;.</p>
<p>1969: Monsanto produces Lasso herbicide, better known as Agent Orange, which was used as defoliant by the U.S. Government during the Vietnam War. &#8220;[Lasso's] success turns around the struggling Agriculture Division,&#8221; Monsanto&#8217;s web page reads.</p>
<p>1970s: Monsanto was a pioneer of optoelectronics in the 1970s. Although Bock had a reputation for being a committed Monsanto executive, several factors contributed to his volatile term as president. Sales were up in 1970, but Bock&#8217;s implementation of the 1971 reorganization caused a significant amount of friction among members of the board and senior management. In spite of the fact that this move, in which Monsanto separated the management of raw materials from Monsanto&#8217;s subsidiaries, was widely praised by security analysts, Bock resigned from the presidency in February 1972.</p>
<p>1970: Cyclamate (the reigning low-calorie artificial sweetener) is pulled off the market in November after some scientists associate it with cancer. Questions are also raised about safety of saccharin, the only other artificial sweetener on the market, leaving the field wide open for aspartame.</p>

<p>December 18, 1970: Searle Company executives lay out a &#8220;Food and Drug Sweetener Strategy&#8221; that they feel will put the FDA into a positive frame of mind about aspartame. An internal policy memo describes psychological tactics Monsanto should use to bring the FDA into a subconscious spirit of participation&#8221; with them on aspartame and get FDA regulators into the &#8220;habit of saying Yes.&#8221;</p>
<p>1971: Neuroscientist Dr. John Olney (whose pioneering work with monosodium glutamate MSG was responsible for having it removed from baby foods) informs Searle that his studies show that aspartic acid (one of the ingredients of aspartame) caused holes in the brains of infant mice. One of Searle&#8217;s own researchers confirmed Dr. Olney&#8217;s findings in a similar study.</p>
<p><img src="http://bestmeal.info/images/monsanto/roundup/roundup.png" alt="Monsanto ROundup Herbicide KILLS ALL ORGANICS!" width="173" height="277" align="right" /></p>
<p>1972: The use of DDT was banned by U.S. Congress, due in large part to efforts by environmentalists, who persisted in the challenge put forth by Rachel Carson&#8217;s book Silent Spring in 1962, which sought to inform the public of the side effects associated with the insecticide, which had been much-welcomed in the fight against malaria-transmitting mosquitoes.</p>
<p>1973: Monsanto developed and patented the glyphosate molecule in the 1970s. Monsanto began manufacturing the herbicide Roundup, which has been marketed as a &#8220;safe&#8221;, general-purpose herbicide for widespread commercial and consumer use, even though its key ingredient, glyphosate, is a highly toxic poison for animals and humans.</p>
<p>1973: After spending tens of millions of dollars conducting safety tests, the G.D. Searle Company applies for FDA approval and submits over 100 studies they claim support aspartame&#8217;s safety. One of the first FDA scientists to review the aspartame safety data states that &#8220;the information provided (by Searle) is inadequate to permit an evaluation of the potential toxicity of aspartame&#8221;. She says in her report that in order to be certain that aspartame is safe, further clinical tests are needed.</p>
<p>1974: Attorney Jim Turner (consumer advocate who was instrumental in getting cyclamate taken off the market) meets with Searle representatives in May to discuss Dr. Olney&#8217;s 1971 study which showed that aspartic acid caused holes in the brains of infant mice.</p>
<p>1974: The FDA grants aspartame its first approval for restricted use in dry foods on July 26.</p>
<p>1974: Jim Turner and Dr. John Olney file the first objections against aspartame&#8217;s approval in August.</p>
<p>1975: After a 9-month search, John W. Hanley, a former executive with Procter &amp; Gamble, was chosen as president. Hanley also took over as chairperson.</p>
<p>1976: The success of the herbicide Lasso had turned around Monsanto&#8217;s struggling Agriculture Division, and by the time Agent Orange was banned in the U.S. and Lasso was facing increasing criticism, Monsanto had developed the weedkiller &#8220;Roundup&#8221; (active ingredient: glyphosate) as a replacement. Launched in 1976, Roundup helped make Monsanto the world&#8217;s largest producer of herbicides. RoundUp was commercialized, and became the world&#8217;s top-selling herbicide. Within a few years of its 1976 launch, Roundup was being marketed in 115 countries.</p>
<p>The success of Roundup coincided with the recognition by Monsanto executives that they needed to radically transform a company increasingly under threat. According to a recent paper by Dominic Glover, &#8220;Monsanto had acquired a particularly unenviable reputation in this regard, as a major producer of both dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) &#8211; both persistent environmental pollutants posing serious risks to the environment and human health. Law suits and environmental clean-up costs began to cut into Monsanto&#8217;s bottom line, but more seriously there was a real fear that a serious lapse could potentially bankrupt the company.&#8221; According to Glover, Roundup &#8220;Sales grew by 20% in 1981 and as the company increased production it was soon Monsanto&#8217;s most profitable product (Monsanto 1981, 1983)&#8230; It soon became the single most important product of Monsanto&#8217;s agriculture division, which contributed about 20% of sales and around 45% of operating income to the company&#8217;s balance sheet each year during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Today, glyphosate remains the world&#8217;s biggest herbicide by volume of sales.&#8221;</p>
<p>1976: Monsanto produces Cycle-Safe, the world&#8217;s first plastic soft-drink bottle. The bottle, suspected of posing a cancer risk, is banned the following year by the Food and Drug Administration.</p>
<p>1976: Turner &amp; Olney&#8217;s petition on March 24 triggers an FDA investigation of the laboratory practices of aspartame&#8217;s manufacturer, G.D. Searle. The investigation finds Searle&#8217;s testing procedures shoddy, full of inaccuracies and &#8220;manipulated&#8221; test data. The investigators report they &#8220;had never seen anything as bad as Searle&#8217;s testing.&#8221;</p>
<p>January 10, 1977: The FDA formally requests the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s office to begin grand jury proceedings to investigate whether indictments should be filed against Searle for knowingly misrepresenting findings and &#8220;concealing material facts and making false statements&#8221; in aspartame safety tests. This is the first time in the FDA&#8217;s history that they request a criminal investigation of a manufacturer.</p>
<p>January 26, 1977: While the grand jury probe is underway, Sidley &amp; Austin, the law firm representing Searle, begins job negotiations with the U.S. Attorney in charge of the investigation, Samuel Skinner.</p>
<p><strong> </strong><img src="http://bestmeal.info/images/monsanto/aspartame/donald-rumsfeld.jpg" alt="Donald Rumsfeld, Ford, Bush, and Monsanto Employee" width="340" height="340" align="left" /></p>
<p>March 8, 1977: G. D. Searle hires prominent Washington insider Donald Rumsfeld as the new CEO to try to turn the beleaguered company around. A former Member of Congress and Secretary of Defense in the Ford Administration, Rumsfeld brings in several of his Washington cronies as top management. Donald Rumsfeld followed Searle as CEO, and then as President of Searle from 1977-1985.</p>
<p>July 1, 1977: Samuel Skinner leaves the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s office on July 1st and takes a job with Searle&#8217;s law firm. (see Jan. 26th)</p>
<p>August 1, 1977: The Bressler Report, compiled by FDA investigators and headed by Jerome Bressler, is released. The report finds that 98 of the 196 animals died during one of Searle&#8217;s studies and weren&#8217;t autopsied until later dates, in some cases over one year after death. Many other errors and inconsistencies are noted. For example, a rat was reported alive, then dead, then alive, then dead again; a mass, a uterine polyp, and ovarian neoplasms were found in animals but not reported or diagnosed in Searle&#8217;s reports.</p>
<p>December 8, 1977: U.S. Attorney Skinner&#8217;s withdrawal and resignation stalls the Searle grand jury investigation for so long that the statue of limitations on the aspartame charges runs out. The grand jury investigation is dropped. (borderline treason)</p>
<p>1979: The FDA established a Public Board of Inquiry (PBOI) in June to rule on safety issues surrounding NutraSweet.</p>
<p>1980: September 30, FDA Board of Inquiry comprised of 3 independent scientists, confirmed that aspartame &#8220;might induce brain tumors&#8221;. The Public Board of Inquiry concludes NutraSweet should not be approved pending further investigations of brain tumors in animals. The board states it &#8220;has NOT been presented with proof of reasonable certainty that aspartame is safe for use as a food additive.&#8221; The FDA had actually banned aspartame based on this finding, only to have Searle Chairman Donald Rumsfeld (Ford&#8217;s Secretary of Defense 1975-1977, Bush&#8217;s Secretary of Defense 2001-2006) vow to &#8220;call in his markers,&#8221; to get it approved in 1981.</p>
<p>1980: Monsanto established the Edgar Monsanto Queeny safety award in honor of its former CEO (1928–1960), to encourage accident prevention.</p>
<p>January 1981: Donald Rumsfeld, CEO of Searle, states in a sales meeting that he is going to make a big push to get aspartame approved within the year. Rumsfeld says he will use his political pull in Washington, rather than scientific means, to make sure it gets approved.</p>
<p>May 19, 1981: 3 of 6 in-house FDA scientists who were responsible for reviewing the brain tumor issues, Dr. Robert Condon, Dr. Satya Dubey, and Dr. Douglas Park, advise against approval of NutraSweet, stating on the record that the Searle tests are unreliable and not adequate to determine the safety of aspartame.</p>
<p><img src="http://bestmeal.info/images/monsanto/aspartame/equal.png" alt="Equal aspartame sweetner" width="242" height="293" align="right" /></p>
<p>1981: Ronald Reagan is sworn in as President of the United States. Reagan&#8217;s transition team, which includes Donald Rumsfeld, CEO of G. D. Searle, hand picks Dr. Arthur Hull Hayes Jr. to be the new FDA Commissioner. On January 21, the day after Ronald Reagan&#8217;s inauguration, GD Searle re-applied to the FDA for approval to use aspartame in food sweetener, and Reagan&#8217;s new FDA commissioner, Arthur Hayes Hull, Jr., appointed a 5-person Scientific Commission to review the board of inquiry&#8217;s decision. It soon became clear that the panel would uphold the ban by a 3-2 decision, but Hull then installed a 6th member on the commission, and the vote became deadlocked. He then personally broke the tie in aspartame&#8217;s favor. Hull later left the FDA under allegations of impropriety, served briefly as Provost at New York Medical College, and then took a position with Burston-Marsteller, the chief public relations firm for both Monsanto and GD Searle. Since that time Hull has never spoken publicly about aspartame.</p>
<p>July 15, 1981: In one of his first official acts, Dr. Arthur Hayes Jr., the new FDA commissioner, overrules the Public Board of Inquiry, ignores the recommendations of his own internal FDA team and approves NutraSweet for dry products. Hayes says that aspartame has been shown to be safe for its&#8217; proposed uses and says few compounds have withstood such detailed testing and repeated close scrutiny. G.D. Searle gets FDA approval for aspartame (NutraSweet). Monsanto completes its acquisition of Searle in 1985.</p>
<p>1982: Monsanto GMO scientists genetically modify a plant cell for the first time!</p>
<p>1982: Some 2,000 people are relocated from Times Beach, Missouri, which was found to be so thoroughly contaminated with dioxin, a by-product of PCB manufacturing, that the government ordered it evacuated. Dioxins are endocrine and immune system disruptors, cause congenital birth defects, reproductive and developmental problems, and increase the incidence of cancer, heart disease and diabetes in laboratory animals. Critics say a St. Louis-area Monsanto chemical plant was a source but Monsanto denies any connection.</p>
<p>October 15, 1982: The FDA announces that GD Searle has filed a petition that aspartame be approved as a sweetener in carbonated beverages and other liquids.</p>
<p>July 1, 1983: The National Soft Drink Association (NSDA) urges the FDA to delay approval of aspartame for carbonated beverages pending further testing because aspartame is very unstable in liquid form. When liquid aspartame is stored in temperatures above 85°F degrees Fahrenheit, aspartame breaks down into known toxins Diketopiperazines (DKP), methyl (wood) alcohol, and formaldehyde.</p>
<p>July 8, 1983: The National Soft Drink Association drafts an objection to the final ruling which permits the use of aspartame in carbonated beverages and syrup bases and requests a hearing on the objections. The association says that Searle has not provided responsible certainty that aspartame and its&#8217; degradation products are safe for use in soft drinks.</p>
<p>August 8, 1983: Consumer Attorney, Jim Turner of the Community Nutrition Institute and Dr. Woodrow Monte, Arizona State University&#8217;s Director of Food Science and Nutritional Laboratories, file suit with the FDA objecting to aspartame approval based on unresolved safety issues.</p>
<p>September, 1983: FDA Commissioner Hayes resigns under a cloud of controversy about his taking unauthorized rides aboard a General Foods jet. (General foods is a major customer of NutraSweet) Burson-Marsteller, Searle&#8217;s public relation firm (which also represented several of NutraSweet&#8217;s major users), immediately hires Hayes as senior scientific consultant.</p>
<p>Fall 1983: The first carbonated beverages containing aspartame are sold for public consumption.</p>

<p>1983: Diet Coke was sweetened with aspartame after the sweetener became available in the United States.</p>
<p>November 1984: Center for Disease Control (CDC) &#8220;Evaluation of consumer complaints related to aspartame use.&#8221; (summary by B. Mullarkey)</p>
<p><img src="http://bestmeal.info/images/monsanto/aspartame/nutrasweet.png" alt="The NutraSweet Company" width="240" height="100" align="right" /></p>
<p>1985: Monsanto purchased G.D. Searle, the chemical company that held the patent to aspartame, the active ingredient in NutraSweet. Monsanto was apparently untroubled by aspartame&#8217;s clouded past, including a 1980 FDA Board of Inquiry, comprised of three independent scientists, which confirmed that it &#8220;might induce brain tumors&#8221;. The aspartame business became a separate Monsanto subsidiary, the NutraSweet Company.</p>
<p>1986: Monsanto found guilty of negligently exposing a worker to benzene at its Chocolate Bayou Plant in Texas. It is forced to pay $100 million to the family of Wilbur Jack Skeen, a worker who died of leukemia after repeated exposures.</p>
<p>1986: At a congressional hearing, medical specialists denounce a National Cancer Institute study disputing that formaldehyde causes cancer. Monsanto and DuPont scientists helped with the study, whose author provided results to the Formaldehyde Institute industry representatives nearly six months before releasing the study to the EPA, labor unions, and the public.</p>
<p>1986: Monsanto spends $50,000 against California&#8217;s anti-toxics initiative, Proposition 65. The initiative prohibits the discharge of chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects into drinking water supplies.</p>
<p>1987: Monsanto conducted the first field tests of genetically engineered (GMO) crops.</p>
<p>1987: Monsanto is one of the companies named in an $180 million settlement for Vietnam War veterans exposed to Agent Orange.</p>
<p>1987: Monsanto consolidated its AstroTurf management, marketing, and technical activities in Dalton, Georgia, as AstroTurf Industries, Inc.</p>
<p>November 3, 1987: U.S. hearing, &#8220;NutraSweet: Health and Safety Concerns,&#8221; Committee on Labor and Human Resources, Senator Howard Metzenbaum, chairman.</p>
<p>1988: A federal jury finds Monsanto Co.&#8217;s subsidiary, G.D. Searle &amp; Co., negligent in testing and marketing of its Copper 7 intrauterine birth control device (IUD). The verdict followed the unsealing of internal documents regarding safety concerns about the IUD, which was used by nearly 10 million women between 1974 and 1986.</p>
<p>1990: EPA chemists allege fraud in Monsanto&#8217;s 1979 dioxin study, which found exposure to the chemical doesn&#8217;t increase cancer risks.</p>
<p>1990: Monsanto spends more than $405,000 to defeat California&#8217;s pesticide regulation Proposition 128, known as the &#8220;Big Green&#8221; initiative. The initiative is aimed at phasing out the use of pesticides, including Monsanto&#8217;s product alachlor, linked to cancer and global warming.</p>
<p>1990: With the help of Roundup, the agriculture division of Monsanto was significantly outperforming Monsanto&#8217;s chemicals division in terms of operating income, and the gap was increasing. But as Glover notes, while &#8220;such a blockbuster product uncorks a fountain of revenue&#8221;, it &#8220;also creates an uncomfortable dependency on the commercial fortunes of a single brand. Monsanto&#8217;s management knew that the last of the patents protecting Roundup in the United States, its biggest market, would expire in the year 2000, opening the field to potential competitors. The company urgently needed a strategy to negotiate this hurdle and prolong the useful life of its &#8216;cash cow&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
<p>1991: Monsanto is fined $1.2 million for trying to conceal discharge of contaminated waste water into the Mystic River in Connecticut.</p>
<p>1993: By April, the Department of Veterans Affairs had only compensated 486 victims, although it had received disability **CLAIMS** from 39,419 veteran soldiers who had been exposed to monsanto&#8217;s Agent Orange while serving in Vietnam. No compensation has been paid to Vietnamese civilians and though some compensation was paid to U.S. veterans, according to William Sanjour, who led the Toxic Waste Division of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), &#8220;thousands of veterans were disallowed benefits&#8221; because &#8220;Monsanto studies showed that dioxin [as found in Agent Orange] was not a human carcinogen.&#8221; An EPA colleague discovered that Monsanto had apparently falsified the data in their studies. Sanjour says, &#8220;If [the studies] were done correctly, they would have reached just the opposite result.&#8221;</p>

<p>1994: the first of Monsanto&#8217;s biotech products to make it to market was not a GMO crop but Monsanto&#8217;s controversial GMO cattle drug, bovine growth hormone &#8211; called rBGH or rBST, Monsanto granted regulatory approval for its first biotech product, a dairy cow hormone. Monsanto developed a recombinant version of BST, brand-named Posilac bovine somatropin (rBST/rBGH), which is produced through a genetically engineered GMO E. coli bacteria. Synthetic Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH), approved by the FDA for commercial sale in 1994, despite strong concerns about its safety. Since then, Monsanto has sued small dairy companies that advertised their products as free of the artificial hormone, including Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s ice cream and most recently bringing a lawsuit against Oakhurst Dairy in Maine.</p>

<p>1995: Genetically engineered canola (rapeseed) which is tolerant to Monsanto&#8217;s Roundup herbicide was first introduced to Canada. Today 80% of the acres sown are genetically modified canola.</p>
<p>1995: Monsanto is sued after allegedly supplying radioactive material for a controversial study which involved feeding radioactive iron to 829 pregnant women.</p>
<p>1995: Monsanto ranked 5th among U.S. corporations in EPA&#8217;s Toxic Release Inventory, having discharged 37 million pounds of toxic chemicals into the air, land, water and underground. Monsanto was ordered to pay $41.1 million to a waste management company in Texas due to concerns over hazardous waste dumping.</p>
<p>995: The Safe Shoppers Bible says that Monsanto&#8217;s Ortho Weed-B-Gon Lawn Weed Killer contains a known carcinogen, 2,4 D. Monsanto officials argue that &#8216;numerous studies have found no link to cancer&#8217;.</p>
<p>1996: Monsanto introduces its first biotech crop, Roundup Ready soybeans, which tolerate spraying of Roundup herbicide, and biotech BT cotton engineered to resist insect damage.</p>
<p>As Monsanto had moved into biotechnology, its executives had the opportunity to create a new narrative for Monsanto. They begun to portray genetic engineering as a ground-breaking technology that could contribute to feeding a hungry world. Monsanto executive Robb Fraley, who was head of the plant molecular biology research team, is also said to have hyped the potential of GMO crops within the company, as a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Monsanto to dominate a whole new industry, invoking the monopoly success of Microsoft as a powerful analogy. But, according to Glover, the more down-to-earth pitch to fellow executives was that &#8220;genetic engineering offered the best prospect of preserving the commercial life of Monsanto&#8217;s most important product, Roundup in the face of the challenges Monsanto would face once the patent expired.&#8221;</p>
<p>Monsanto eventually achieved this by introducing into crop plants genes that give resistance to glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup). This meant farmers could spray Roundup onto their fields as a weedkiller even during the growing season without harming the crop. This allowed Monsanto to &#8220;significantly expand the market for Roundup and, more importantly, help Monsanto to negotiate the expiry of its glyphosate patents, on which such a large slice of Monsanto&#8217;s income depended.&#8221; With glyphosate-tolerant GMO crops, Monsanto was able ìto preserve its dominant share of the glyphosate market through a marketing strategy that would couple proprietary &#8220;Roundup Ready&#8221; seeds with continued sales of Roundup.</p>
<p>1996-1999: Monsanto sold off its <strong>plastics business to Bayer</strong> in 1996, and its <strong>phenylalanine facilities to Great Lakes Chemical Corporation (GLC)</strong> in 1999. Much of the rest of its <strong>chemicals division was spun off in late 1997 as Solutia</strong>.  This helped Monsanto distance itself to some extent not only from  direct financial liability for the historical core of its business but  also from its controversial production and contamination legacy.</p>

<p>1997: Monsanto introduces new GMO canola (rapeseed), GMO cotton and GMO corn (maize), and buys foundation seed companies.</p>
<p>1997: Monsanto spins off its industrial chemical and fibers business into Solutia Inc. amid complaints and legal claims about pollution from its plants. Solutia was spun off from Monsanto as a way for Monsanto to divest itself of billions of dollars in environmental cleanup costs and other liabilities for its past actions &#8211; liabilities</p>
<p>that eventually forced Solutia to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  According to a spokesman for Solutia, &#8220;(Monsanto) sort of cherry-picked  what they wanted and threw in all kinds of cats and dogs as part of a  going-away present,&#8221; including <strong>$1 billion in debt and environmental and litigation costs</strong>.  Some pre-bankruptcy Solutia equity holders allege Solutia was set up  fraudulently as it was always doomed to fail under the financial weight  of Monsanto&#8217;s liabilities.</p>
<p>1997: The New York State Attorney General took Monsanto to court and Monsanto was subsequently forced to <strong>stop claiming that Roundup is “biodegradable” and “environmentally friendly”</strong>.</p>
<p>1997: The Seattle Times reports that Monsanto sold <strong>6,000 tons of contaminated waste</strong> to Idaho <strong>fertilizer companies</strong>, which contained the carcinogenic heavy metal <strong>cadmium</strong>, believed to cause <strong>cancer</strong>, kidney disease, neurological dysfunction and <strong>birth defects</strong>.</p>
<p>1997: Through a process of mergers and spin-offs between 1997  and 2002, Monsanto made a transition from chemical giant to biotech  giant. Monsanto&#8217;s corporate strategy led them for the first time to  acquire seed companies. During the 1990s <strong>Monsanto spent $10 billion globally buying up seed companies</strong> &#8211; a push that continues to this day. It has purchased, for example, <strong>Holden&#8217;s Foundations Seeds</strong>, <strong>Seminis</strong> - the largest seed company not producing corn or soybeans in the world, the Dutch seed company <strong>De Ruiter Seeds</strong>, and the big cotton seed firm <strong>Delta &amp; Pine</strong>.  As a result, Monsanto is now the world&#8217;s largest seed company,  accounting for almost a quarter of the global proprietary seed market.</p>
<p><img src="http://bestmeal.info/images/monsanto/roundup/terminator-seeds.png" alt="Terminator Seeds" width="199" height="267" align="right" />1998<a name="1998"></a>: Monsanto introduces <strong>Roundup Ready corn</strong> (maize).</p>
<p>1998: In the UK, Monsanto purchased the seed company Plant Breeding International (PBI) Cambridge, a major UK based cereals and potato breeder, which Monsanto then merged with its existing UK agri-chemicals and GMO research businesses to form Monsanto UK Ltd. Monsanto UK has carried out field trials of glyphosate-tolerant sugar / fodder beet, glyphosate-tolerant oilseed rape, and glyphosate-tolerant and male sterility / fertility restorer oilseed rape.</p>
<p>1998: &#8220;Survey of aspartame studies: correlation of outcome and funding sources,&#8221; unpublished: Ralph G. Walton found 166 separate published studies in the peer reviewed medical literature, which had relevance for questions of human safety. The 74 studies funded by industry all (100%) attested to aspartame&#8217;s safety, whereas of the 92 non-industry funded studies, 84 (91%) identified a problem. 6 of the 7 non-industry funded studies that were favorable to aspartame safety were from the FDA, which has a public record that shows a strong pro-industry bias.</p>
<p>1999: After international criticism, Monsanto agrees not to [PUBLICLY] commercialize &#8220;Terminator&#8221; seeds.</p>
<p>1999: Monsanto opens its Beautiful Sciences exhibit at Disneyland.</p>
<p>1999: Monsanto sells their phenylalanine facilities to Great Lakes Chemical Corporation (GLC) for $125 million. In 2000, GLC sued Monsanto because of a $71 million dollar shortfall in expected sales.</p>
<p>2000: 5 pesticide companies, including Monsanto, controlled over 70% of all patents on agricultural biotechnology. Monsanto had the largest share of the global GMO crops market.</p>
<p>2000: Since the inception of Plan Colombia, the US has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in funding aerial sprayings of Monsanto&#8217;s Roundup herbicides in Colombia. The Roundup is often applied in concentrations 26x higher than what is recommended for agricultural use. Additionally, it contains at least one surfactant, Cosmo-Flux 411f, whose ingredients are a trade secret, has never been approved for use in the US, and which quadruples the biological action of the herbicide. Not surprisingly, numerous human health impacts have been recorded in the areas affected by the sprayings, including respiratory, gastrointestinal and skin problems, and even death, especially in children. Additionally, fish and animals will show up dead in the hours and days subsequent to the herbicide sprayings.</p>
<p>2000-2002: Monsanto merges with Pharmacia &amp; Upjohn, and changes its name to Pharmacia Corporation. Monsanto Company restructures in deal with Pharmacia &amp; Upjohn Inc; separates agricultural and chemicals businesses and becomes stand-alone agricultural company. By 2000 the current Monsanto had emerged from various transactions, including a merger for a time with Pharmacia, as a legally different corporation from the Monsanto that had existed from 1901-2000. This was despite the fact that both Monsantos shared not just the same name, but the same corporate headquarters near St. Louis, Missouri, and many of the same executives and other employees, not to mention much of the responsibility for liabilities arising out of its former activities.</p>
<p>2001: Retired Monsanto chemist William S. Knowles was named a co-winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation, which was carried out at Monsanto beginning in the 1960s until his 1986 retirement.</p>
<p>2001: Monsanto GMO crops accounted for 91% of the total area of GMO crops planted worldwide.</p>
<p>2002: Monsanto entered into an important agreement with DuPont. As a result of this &#8220;agreement&#8221; both companies agreed to drop a raft of outstanding patent lawsuits against one another and to share their patented GMO crops technologies. Some commentators see this ‘agreement&#8217; as constituting a pseudo-merger by stealth of the two companies&#8217; GMO crops monopolies which are too large to be permitted to merge.</p>
<p>August 13, 2002: Monsanto had sales of $4,673,000,000. Based on 2001 figures Monsanto was the second biggest seed company in the world, and the third biggest agrochemical company. The infamous agrochemical and biotechnology division, still known as Monsanto, was spun off as a nominally separate company with Pharmacia originally retaining an 85% share. Monsanto Company became completely separate and independent from Pharmacia on August 13, 2002, when Pharmacia distributed its remaining Monsanto shares to Pharmacia&#8217;s stockholders.</p>
<p>2002: Events in Argentina also affected the company in other ways: Monsanto&#8217;s Argentine unit lost $154 million in the 2002 fiscal year, due to the collapse of the Argentine economy and a deepening recession which forced the government to default on most of its public debt, and devalue the peso in January 2002. The government also converted what was a dollar economy into a peso economy and, as a result, Monsanto received devalued pesos for products it had sold in dollars, slashing its sales income.</p>
<p>2002: The Washington Post ran an article entitled, &#8220;Monsanto Hid Decades Of Pollution, PCBs Drenched Alabama Town, But No One Was Ever Told&#8221; about PCBs. Monsanto share price plummeted in the second half of 2002 following its sell off by former parent company Pharmacia and this was compounded by the departure of Monsanto&#8217;s CEO at the end of 2002.</p>
<p>December 2002: CEO Hendrik Verfaillie resigned after he and the board agreed that his performance had been disappointing and the company had faced extensive criticism for failing to deal more honestly and effectively with its difficulties. &#8220;This is a company that has been optimistic on the borderline of LYING,&#8221; said Sergey Vasnetsov, senior analyst with Lehman Brothers in New York. &#8220;Monsanto has been feeding us these FANTASIES for two years, and when we saw they weren&#8217;t real, its stock price fell.&#8221;</p>
<p>2003: Jury fines Monsanto and its former chemical subsidiary, Solutia, Inc. (now owned by Pharmacia Corp.), agreed to pay $600 million in August to settle claims brought by more than 20,000+ residents of Anniston, Alabama &#8211; over the severe contamination of ground and water by tons of PCBs dumped in the area from the 1930s until the 1970s. Court documents revealed that Monsanto was aware of the contamination decades earlier.</p>
<p>2003: Solutia, Inc. (now owned by Pharmacia Corp.) files Chapter 11 bankruptcy.</p>
<p>2004: Monsanto forms American Seeds Inc holding company for corn and soybean seed deals and begins brand acquisitions.</p>
<p>2004-2005: Monsanto filed lawsuits against many farmers in Canada and the U.S. on the grounds of patent infringement, specifically the farmers&#8217; sale of seed containing Monsanto&#8217;s patented genes. In some cases, farmers claimed the seed was unknowingly sown by wind carrying the seeds from neighboring crops, a claim rejected in Monsanto Canada Inc. v. Schmeiser. These instances began in the mid to late 1990s, with one of the most significant cases being decided in Monsanto&#8217;s favor by the Canadian Supreme Court. By a 5-4 vote in late May 2004, that court ruled that &#8220;by cultivating a plant containing the patented gene and composed of the patented cells without license, the appellants (canola farmer Percy Schmeiser) deprived the respondents of the full enjoyment of the patent.&#8221; With this ruling, the Canadian courts followed the U.S. Supreme Court in its decision on patent issues involving plants and genes.</p>
<p>2005: Monsanto has patent claims on breeding techniques for pigs which would grant them ownership of any pigs born of such techniques and their related herds. Greenpeace claims Monsanto is trying to claim ownership on ordinary breeding techniques. Monsanto claims that the patent is a defensive measure to track animals from its system. They furthermore claim their patented method uses a specialized insemination device that requires less sperm than is typically needed.</p>
<p>2005: Environmental, consumer groups question safety of Roundup Ready crops, say they create &#8220;super weeds,&#8221; among other problems.</p>

Jan 26, 2012</p>
<h3><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U1-scacJA58/TyFtqZG8WdI/AAAAAAAAON8/4lBjw627CLg/s1600/pesticidesbackpack-210x131.png"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U1-scacJA58/TyFtqZG8WdI/AAAAAAAAON8/4lBjw627CLg/s1600/pesticidesbackpack-210x131.png" border="0" alt="" width="263" height="164" /></a></h3>
<p>Mike Barrett</p>
<p>A recent study conducted by a German university found very high concentrations of glyphosate, a <em>carcinogenic chemical</em> found in herbicides like Monsanto’s Roundup, in <strong>all urine samples tested</strong>.</p>
<p>The amount of glyphosate found in the urine was staggering, with each sample containing concentrations at <strong>5- to 20-fold the limit established for drinking water</strong>.</p>
<p>This is just one more piece of evidence that herbicides are, at the very least, being sprayed out of control.</p>
<p><strong>Glyphosate in Monsanto’s Roundup Impacting Global Health</strong></p>
<p>This news comes only one month after it was found that glyphosate, contained in Monsanto’s Roundup, is <strong><a href="http://naturalsociety.com/monsantos-carcinogenic-roundup-herbicide-contaminating-water-supply/">contaminating the groundwater</a></strong> in the areas in which it is used. What does this mean?</p>
<p><a name="more"></a>It means that <strong>toxic glyphosate is now polluting the world’s drinking water</strong> through  the widespread contamination of aquifers, wells and springs.  The recent  reports of glyphosate showing up in all urine samples only  enhances  these past findings.</p>
<p>Monsanto continues to make the claim that their Roundup products are   completely safe for both animals and humans. However, many   environmentalists, scientists , activists, and even doctors say   otherwise.</p>
<div><ins><ins id="aswift_0_anchor"><br />
</ins></ins></div>
<p>A formula seems to have been made to not only ruin the agricultural system, but also compromise the health of millions of people worldwide. With the invention of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready crops, resistant superweeds are taking over farmland, and public health is being attacked.</p>
<p>As it turns out, glyphosate is also leaving behind its residue on Roundup Ready crops, causing further potential concern for public health. Glyphosate is even contributing to escalating rates of mental illness and obesity through the depletion of beneficial gut flora that directly regulates these functions.</p>
<p>But it certainly doesn’t stop there.</p>
<p>Researchers tested roundup on mature male rats at a concentration range between 1 and 10,000 parts per million (ppm), and found that within 1 to 48 hours of exposure, testicular cells of the mature rats were either damaged or killed. Even at a concentration of 1 ppm, the Roundup was able to affect the test subjects by decreasing their testosterone concentrations by as much as 35%.</p>

<p><strong>News</strong>: <a href="http://eatdrinkbetter.com/2011/09/05/monsanto%E2%80%99s-gm-sweet-corn-coming-to-america%E2%80%99s-dinner-plates/" target="_blank">Monsanto’s genetically modified (GM) or genetically engineered (GE) sweet corn</a> has been approved for production and sale in the U.S. Not only that, it <a href="http://eatdrinkbetter.com/2011/10/31/unlabeled-gm-sweet-corn-arriving-soon/" target="_blank">won’t be labeled</a>. Food &amp; Water Watch has a last-ditch campaign to stop the corn from invading our markets and dinner plates. It’s a <a href="http://eatdrinkbetter.com/2012/01/12/ask-walmart-to-say-no-to-gm-sweet-corn/" target="_blank">campaign to get Walmart to reject the corn</a>, and the organization is looking to get <strong><a href="http://action.foodandwaterwatch.org/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=9105" target="_blank">at least 100,000 signatures</a></strong> in support of that by April 1. (Note that this GM sweet corn hasn’t been tested for human safety.) Here’s more on FWW’s plan:</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Goal — Get Walmart to commit to not sell GE sweet corn by April 1st.</p>
<p>Phase 1 (January): Build support for the campaign by collecting petition signatures and recruiting communities to come together to fight GE sweet corn.</p>
<p>Phase 2 (February): Coordinated actions (e.g. call-in days, petition deliveries to store managers) to put direct pressure on Walmart.</p>
<p>Phase 3 (March): Targeted actions at Walmart stores and parking lots across the country to build visibility and get a commitment to reject Monsanto’s GE sweet corn.</p>
<p>Source: Planetsave (http://s.tt/15lKK)</p>
<p>Why this is important: Basically, GMO companies and our policy makers are conducting a massive experiment on us. It’s not clear yet if GMOs are really safe for humans. GMOs have been linked to organ disruption in animals in at least 13 scientific studies. Why fool around and let GMOs be sold for consumption before we know they’re safe? If they’re going to be sold for consumption, at least label them so that those who want to avoid them can easily do so!</p>
<p>As world-leading geneticist Dr. David Suzuki puts it: “Because we aren’t certain about the effects of GMOs, we must consider one of the guiding principles in science, the precautionary principle. Under this principle, if a policy or action could harm human health or the environment, we must not proceed until we know for sure what the impact will be. And it is up to those proposing the action or policy to prove that it is not harmful.”</p>

<p>Mon Jan 23, 2012 1:42pm EST</p>
<p>NEW YORK  (Reuters) &#8211; Yoko Ono, Debbie Harry, Jackson Browne and Willie Nelson  are among dozens of artists contributing to &#8220;Occupy This Album,&#8221; to  raise money for the Occupy Wall Street movement against economic  inequality, a publicity firm said on Monday.</p>
<p>Workhouse public relations firm  said that the album would be released in the spring &#8220;as a celebration  that provides a musical voice and ultimately through record sales,  financial support to fortify the movements continuation.&#8221;</p>
<p>The  album is being put together by Occupy Wall Street solidarity group  &#8220;Music for Occupy.&#8221; Other artists involved with the album are Third Eye  Blind, Crosby and Nash, Tom Morello, Thievery Corporation, Warren  Haynes, and Immortal Technique.</p>
<p>Inspired  by the Arab Spring protests, Occupy Wall Street began when protesters  set up camp in New York&#8217;s Zuccotti Park on September 17, sparking  demonstrations across the United States and elsewhere in the world.</p>
<p>But  the eviction of protesters in New York and public spaces in other U.S.  cities in November and December has made the protests less visible and  organizers now face the challenge of how to maintain momentum without  the physical camps.</p>

<p>One of the biggest factors that determines how well you age is not your genes but how well you live. Not convinced? A study published in 2009 in the British Medical Journal of 20,000 British folks shows that you can cut your risk of having a stroke in half by doing the following things: being active for 30 minutes a day, eating five daily servings of fruit and vegetables, and avoiding cigarettes and excess alcohol.</p>
<p>While those are some of the obvious steps you can take to age well, researchers have discovered that centenarians tend to share certain traits in how they eat, move about, and deal with stress—the sorts of things we can emulate to improve our own aging process. Of course, getting to age 100 is enormously more likely if your parents did. Still, Thomas Perls, who studies the century-plus set at Boston University School of Medicine, believes that assuming you&#8217;ve sidestepped genes for truly fatal diseases like Huntington&#8217;s, &#8220;there&#8217;s nothing stopping you from living independently well into your 90s.&#8221; Heck, if your parents and grandparents were heavy smokers, they might have died prematurely without ever reaching their true potential lifespan, so go ahead and shoot for those triple digits. Follow these 12 habits and check out Perls&#8217; lifetime risk calculator to see how long you can expect to live.</p>

<p>&#8220;Evidence shows that in societies where people stop working abruptly, the incidence of obesity and chronic disease skyrockets after retirement,&#8221; says Luigi Ferrucci, director of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. The Chianti region of Italy, which has a high percentage of centenarians, has a different take on leisure time. &#8220;After people retire from their jobs, they spend most of the day working on their little farm, cultivating grapes or vegetables,&#8221; he says. &#8220;They&#8217;re never really inactive.&#8221; Farming isn&#8217;t for you? Volunteer as a docent at your local art museum or join the Experience Corps, a program offered in 19 cities that places senior volunteers in urban public elementary schools for about 15 hours a week.</p>

<p>That may help keep your arteries healthy. A 2008 New York University study showed that daily flossing reduced the amount of gum-disease-causing bacteria in the mouth. This bacteria is thought to enter the bloodstream and trigger inflammation in the arteries, a major risk factor for heart disease. Other research has shown that those who have high amounts of bacteria in their mouth are more likely to have thickening in their arteries, another sign of heart disease. &#8220;I really do think people should floss twice a day to get the biggest life expectancy benefits,&#8221; says Perls.</p>

<p>&#8220;Exercise is the only real fountain of youth that exists,&#8221; says Jay Olshansky, a professor of medicine and aging researcher at the University of Illinois at Chicago. &#8220;It&#8217;s like the oil and lube job for your car. You don&#8217;t have to do it, but your car will definitely run better.&#8221; Study after study has documented the benefits of exercise to improve your mood, mental acuity, balance, muscle mass, and bones. &#8220;And the benefits kick in immediately after your first workout,&#8221; Olshansky adds. Don&#8217;t worry if you&#8217;re not a gym rat. Those who see the biggest payoffs are the ones who go from doing nothing to simply walking around the neighborhood or local mall for about 30 minutes a day. Building muscle with resistance training is also ideal, but yoga classes can give you similar strength-training effects if you&#8217;re not into weight lifting.</p>

<p>Getting a serving of whole-grains, especially in the morning, appears to help older folks maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day, according to a recent study conducted by Ferrucci and his colleagues. &#8220;Those who do this have a lower incidence of diabetes, a known accelerator of aging,&#8221; he says.</p>
<div id="spotTitle">5. Get at Least Six Hours of Sleep Each Night</div>
<div id="spotImage">
<div><img src="http://health.yahoo.net/yahoohealth/gallery_assist/69/gallery_assist4968/Get%20at%20Least%20Six%20Hours%20of%20Sleep%20Each%20Night.jpg" alt="" /></div>
</div>
<p>Instead of skimping on sleep to add more hours to your day, get more to add years to your life. &#8220;Sleep is one of the most important functions that our body uses to regulate and heal cells,&#8221; says Ferrucci. &#8220;We&#8217;ve calculated that the minimum amount of sleep that older people need to get those healing REM phases is about six hours.&#8221; Those who reach the century mark make sleep a top priority.</p>
<div id="spotTitle">6. Consume Whole Foods, Not Supplements</div>
<div id="spotImage">
<div><img src="http://health.yahoo.net/yahoohealth/gallery_assist/69/gallery_assist4968/Consume%20Whole%20Foods,%20Not%20Supplements.jpg" alt="" /></div>

<div id="spotCaption">
<div>
<p>Strong evidence suggests that people who have high blood levels of certain nutrients—selenium, beta-carotene, vitamins C and E—age much better and have a slower rate of cognitive decline. Unfortunately, there&#8217;s no evidence that taking pills with these nutrients provides those anti-aging benefits. &#8220;There are more than 200 different carotenoids and 200 different flavonoids in a single tomato,&#8221; points out Ferrucci, &#8220;and these chemicals can all have complex interactions that foster health beyond the single nutrients we know about like lycopene or vitamin C.&#8221; Avoid nutrient-lacking white foods (breads, flour, sugar) and go for all those colorful fruits and vegetables and dark whole-grain breads and cereals with their host of hidden nutrients.</p>
<div id="spotTitle">7. Be Less Neurotic</div>
<div id="spotImage">
<div><img src="http://health.yahoo.net/yahoohealth/gallery_assist/69/gallery_assist4968/Be%20Less%20Neurotic.jpg" alt="" /></div>
</div>
<p>It may work for Woody Allen, who infuses his worries with a healthy dose of humor, but the rest of us neurotics may want to find a new way to deal with stress. &#8220;We have a new study coming out that shows that centenarians tend not to internalize things or dwell on their troubles,&#8221; says Perls. &#8220;They are great at rolling with the punches.&#8221; If this inborn trait is hard to overcome, find better ways to manage when you&#8217;re stressed: Yoga, exercise, meditation, tai chi, or just deep breathing for a few moments are all good. Ruminating, eating chips in front of the TV, binge drinking? Bad, very bad.</p>

<div>Al Green: &#8216;Obama nailed my song&#8217;</div>
<div>Jan. 20, 2012, 2:26 PM EST</div>
<p>Al Green has given President Barack Obama his seal   of approval after the president belted out a brief rendition of his soul   classic &#8220;Let&#8217;s Stay Together&#8221; at a New York City fundraiser on Thursday.</p>
<p>President Obama wowed guests with an impromptu performance at the Apollo   Theatre in Harlem and video footage of the event has since gone viral.</p>
<p>After singing the track&#8217;s opening line, the politician told the crowd his   aides had doubted he would burst into song at the gala, saying, &#8220;Those guys   didn&#8217;t think I would do it! I told you I was gonna do it!&#8221;</p>
<p>Now music veteran Green has spoken of his pride after hearing the president   crooning his tune, telling TMZ.com Obama was &#8220;terrific.&#8221;</p>
<p>He adds, &#8220;He nailed it. I was thrilled that the President even mentioned my   name, and if the President can get the economy going again and get everything   going that he wants to, then we&#8217;ll all be together.&#8221;</p>

<p>WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate and House leaders said Friday they will put off further action on online piracy legislation after a storm of protest over the measure.</p>
<p>Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, said he was postponing a procedural vote set for Tuesday &#8220;in light of recent events.&#8221; Those events included a petition drive by Google that attracted more than 7 million participants and a one-day blackout by the online encyclopedia Wikipedia.</p>
<p>House Judiciary Committee chairman Lamar Smith, a Republican, quickly followed suit, saying consideration of a similar House bill would be postponed &#8220;until there is wider agreement on a solution.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Senate&#8217;s Protect Intellectual Property Act and the House&#8217;s Stop Online Piracy Act have strong support from the entertainment industry and other businesses that lose billions of dollars annually to intellectual property theft and online sales of counterfeit products. But they also have strong opposition from Internet-related companies that argue the bill would lead to over-regulation and censorship of the Internet.</p>
<p>Reid has also seen at least a half-dozen senators who sponsored the bill announce they now oppose it.</p>
<p>Reid said counterfeiting and piracy cost the American economy billions of dollars every year and &#8220;there is no reason that the legitimate issues raised by many about this bill cannot be resolved.&#8221; He said he was optimistic about reaching a compromise in the coming weeks.</p>
<p>The main Senate sponsor, Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy, a Democrat, said he respected Reid&#8217;s decision to postpone the vote but lamented the Senate&#8217;s unwillingness to debate the bill.</p>
<p>&#8220;The day will come when the senators who forced this move will look back and realize they made a knee-jerk reaction to a monumental problem,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Criminals in China, Russia and other countries &#8220;who do nothing but peddle in counterfeit products and stolen American content are smugly watching how the United States Senate decided&#8221; it was not worth debating the bill.</p>
<p>The Senate bill would allow the Justice Department, and copyright holders, to seek court orders against foreign websites accused of copyright infringement. It would bar online advertising networks and payment facilitators such as credit card companies from doing business with an alleged violator. It also would forbid search engines from linking to such sites.</p>
<p>The Tuesday vote was on whether to move the legislation to the Senate floor for debate. With the recent desertions and a statement Thursday by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell that it is too early to consider the bill, it appeared supporters lacked the 60 votes needed to advance the measure in the 100-member chamber.</p>
<p>McConnell on Friday applauded Reid&#8217;s decision, saying it would &#8220;prevent a counterproductive rush toward flawed legislation.&#8221;</p>

<div id="gallerySlideTitle001">Etta James through the years</div>
<p>(CNN) &#8212; Etta James, whose assertive, earthy voice lit up such hits as &#8220;The Wallflower,&#8221; &#8220;Something&#8217;s Got a Hold on Me&#8221; and the wedding favorite &#8220;At Last,&#8221; has died, according to her longtime friend and manager, Lupe De Leon. She was 73.</p>
<p>She died from complications from leukemia with her husband, Artis Mills, and her sons by her side, De Leon said.</p>
<p>She was diagnosed with leukemia in 2010, and also suffered from dementia and hepatitis C. James died at a hospital in Riverside, California. She would have turned 74 Wednesday.</p>
<p>&#8221; This is a tremendous loss for the family, her friends and fans around the world,&#8221; De Leon said. &#8220;She was a true original who could sing it all &#8212; her music defied category.</p>
<p>&#8220;I worked with Etta for over 30 years. She was my friend and I will miss her always.&#8221;<br />
2003: Etta James reflects on her career</p>
<p>The powerhouse singer, known as &#8220;Miss Peaches,&#8221; lived an eventful life. She first hit the charts as a teenager, taking &#8220;The Wallflower (Roll With Me, Henry)&#8221; &#8212; an &#8220;answer record&#8221; to Hank Ballard&#8217;s &#8220;Work With Me, Annie&#8221; &#8212; to No. 1 on the R&amp;B charts in 1955. She joined Chess Records in 1960 and had a string of R&amp;B and pop hits, many with lush string arrangements. After a mid-decade fade, she re-emerged in 1967 with a more hard-edged, soulful sound.</p>
<p>Throughout her career, James overcame a heroin addiction, opened for the Rolling Stones, won six Grammys and was voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Despite her ups and downs &#8212; including a number of health problems &#8212; she maintained an optimistic attitude.</p>
<p>&#8220;Most of the songs I sing, they have that blue feeling to it. They have that sorry feeling. And I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m sorry about,&#8221; she told CNN&#8217;s Denise Quan in 2002. &#8220;I don&#8217;t!&#8221;</p>
<p>Through it all, she was a spitfire beloved by contemporaries and young up-and-comers.</p>
<p>&#8220;Etta James is unmanageable, and I&#8217;m the closest thing she&#8217;s ever had to a manager,&#8221; Lupe DeLeon, her manager of 30-plus years, told CNN in admiration.</p>
<p>British songstress Adele named James as one of her favorite singers, along with Aretha Franklin.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you were to look up the word singer in the dictionary, you&#8217;d see their names,&#8221; Adele said in an interview.</p>
<p>Etta James was born Jamesetta Hawkins in Los Angeles to a teen mother and unknown father. (She suspected her father was the pool player Minnesota Fats.)</p>
<p>Her birth mother initially took little responsibility and James was raised by a series of people, notably a pair of boardinghouse owners. But she was recognized from a young age for her booming voice, showcased in a South Central Los Angeles church.</p>
<p>In 1950, her mother took her to San Francisco, where James formed a group called the Peaches. Singer Johnny Otis, best known for &#8220;Willie and the Hand Jive,&#8221; discovered her and had her sing a song he wrote using Ballard&#8217;s tune as a model. &#8220;The Wallflower,&#8221; with responses from &#8220;Louie Louie&#8221; songwriter Richard Berry, made James an R&amp;B star.</p>
<p>Her signing to Chess introduced her to a broader audience, as the record label&#8217;s co-owner, Leonard Chess, believed she should do pop hits. Among her recordings were &#8220;Stormy Weather,&#8221; the Lena Horne classic originally from 1933; &#8220;A Sunday Kind of Love,&#8221; which dates from 1946; and most notably, &#8220;At Last,&#8221; a 1941 number that was originally a hit for Glenn Miller.</p>
<p>James&#8217; version of &#8220;At Last&#8221; starts out with swooning strings and the singer enters with confident gusto, dazzlingly maintaining a mood of joy and romance. Though the song failed to make the Top 40 upon its 1961 release &#8212; though it did hit the R&amp;B Top 10 &#8212; its emotional punch has long made it a favorite at weddings.</p>
<p>James&#8217; career suffered in the mid-&#8217;60s when the British Invasion took over the pop charts and as she fought some personal demons. But she got a boost when she started recording at Rick Hall&#8217;s FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Her hits included the brassy &#8220;Tell Mama&#8221; and the raw &#8220;I&#8217;d Rather Go Blind,&#8221; the latter later notably covered by Rod Stewart.</p>
<p>She entered rehab in the 1970s for her drug problem but re-established herself with live performances and an album produced by noted R&amp;B mastermind Jerry Wexler. After another stint in rehab &#8212; this time at the Betty Ford Clinic &#8212; she made a comeback album, &#8220;Seven Year Itch,&#8221; in 1988.</p>
<p>James mastered a range of styles &#8212; from R&amp;B and soul to jazz and blues &#8212; but she was always one step behind the popular genre of the day, said Michael Coyle, a Colgate University professor who has written about jazz and R&amp;B and reviews records for Cadence Magazine.</p>
<p>&#8220;She never really got her moment in the sun,&#8221; Coyle said.</p>
<p>But James soldiered on, and by the end of her life she had made so much meaningful music that she was considered a living legend. &#8220;By the mid-&#8217;90s, she&#8217;s survived so long that people start to look up to her,&#8221; Coyle said.</p>

<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is calling for the intensification of sanctions against Iran over its alleged nuclear weapons program, saying an embargo on Iranian oil must be put in place. But Caleb Maupin of the International Action Center, an anti-war group, say such measures &#8220;are just part of a continued repression of the Iranian people.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong> </strong><strong>A call to all the Occupy Movements and the 99% across the region!</strong></p>
<p>ANSWER is inviting all its supporters, friends, and allies to join an  organized and political direct action contingent targeting these same  banks, and their oppressive business practices, that were bailed out at  the expense of the poor and working people. Join the ANSWER contingent  for the morning action and join us in supporting other actions  throughout the day.</p>
<p>Banks, and financial capital in general,  spread their tentacles throughout all oppressive mechanisms of the US  government. Whether its investing in the military industrial complex, to  shackling countries in Africa and Latin America with high interest  loans, to financing private prisons for the poor here in the US, to  indebting students for life for an education that can’t guarantee them a  job, to filling the pockets of corrupt politicians, or foreclosing on  families for profit, the banks have robbed billions of people of a  future.</p>
<p><strong>What: ANSWER Coalition Direct Action</strong><br />
<strong>Where: Meet at Mint Plaza, between Mission and Market Sts. on 5th St. </strong><br />
<strong>When: Fri. Jan. 20th, 8am SHARP. Please be on time for orientation.</strong><br />
<strong>Call the ANSWER Coalition Office at : 415-821-6545 in order to confirm attendance and support.</strong></p>
<p>Join Occupy San Francisco, labor unions, community organizations, and  social justice activist for a mass day of action centered in the SF  Financial District involving mass occupation, mobilization, nonviolent  direct action and disobedience. We ask people, groups, movements and  communities from San Francisco, the Bay Area and across California to  self-organize and take action with us to disrupt  business-as-usual—either at a bank or corporation where you are drawn to  act or at one initiated by other participants.</p>
<p><strong>There  will be an all-day orientation site at Bradley Manning/Justin Herman  Plaza where people can get information, including where and how to plug  into actions, with mobilization times at 6:00 am (Wall St. West starts  when Wall St. East starts!), 12:00 noon and 5:00 pm.</strong></p>
<p>We call on the Occupy movements and the 99% across the region to join us.</p>

<p>The Web sites on Wednesday of, clockwise from top left, Google, Mozilla, Wired and Wikipedia.</p>
<p>The New York Times<br />
By JONATHAN WEISMAN</p>
<p>Published: January 18, 2012</p>
<p>WASHINGTON — When the powerful world of old media mobilized to win passage of an online antipiracy bill, it marshaled the reliable giants of K Street — the United States Chamber of Commerce, the Recording Industry Association of America and, of course, the motion picture lobby, with its new chairman, former Senator Christopher J. Dodd, the Connecticut Democrat and an insider’s insider.</p>
<p>Yet on Wednesday this formidable old guard was forced to make way for the new as Web powerhouses backed by Internet activists rallied opposition to the legislation through Internet blackouts and cascading criticism, sending an unmistakable message to lawmakers grappling with new media issues: Don’t mess with the Internet.</p>
<p>As a result, the legislative battle over two once-obscure bills to combat the piracy of American movies, music, books and writing on the World Wide Web may prove to be a turning point for the way business is done in Washington. It represented a moment when the new economy rose up against the old.</p>
<p>“I think it is an important moment in the Capitol,” said Representative Zoe Lofgren, Democrat of California and an important opponent of the legislation. “Too often, legislation is about competing business interests. This is way beyond that. This is individual citizens rising up.”</p>
<p>It appeared by Wednesday evening that Congress would follow Bank of America, Netflix and Verizon as the latest institution to change course in the face of a netizen revolt.</p>
<p>Legislation that just weeks ago had overwhelming bipartisan support and had provoked little scrutiny generated a grass-roots coalition on the left and the right. Wikipedia made its English-language content unavailable, replaced with a warning: “Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet.” Visitors to Reddit found the site offline in protest. Google’s home page was scarred by a black swatch that covered the search engine’s label.</p>
<p>Phone calls and e-mail messages poured in to Congressional offices against the Stop Online Piracy Act in the House and the Protect I.P. Act in the Senate. One by one, prominent backers of the bills dropped off.</p>
<p>First, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, a rising Republican star, took to Facebook, one of the vehicles for promoting opposition, to renounce a bill he had co-sponsored. Senator John Cornyn of Texas, who leads the G.O.P.’s Senate campaign efforts, used Facebook to urge his colleagues to slow the bill down. Senator Jim DeMint, Republican of South Carolina and a Tea Party favorite, announced his opposition on Twitter, which was already boiling over with anti-#SOPA and #PIPA fever.</p>
<p>Then trickle turned to flood — adding Senators Mark Kirk of Illinois and Roy Blunt of Missouri, and Representatives Lee Terry of Nebraska and Ben Quayle of Arizona. At least 10 senators and nearly twice that many House members announced their opposition.</p>
<p>“Thanks for all the calls, e-mails, and tweets. I will be opposing #SOPA and #PIPA,” Senator Jeff Merkley, Democrat of Oregon, wrote in a Twitter message. Late Wednesday, Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, withdrew his support for a bill he helped write.</p>
<p>The existing bill “needs more due diligence, analysis and substantial changes,” he said in a statement.</p>
<p>Few lawmakers even now question the need to combat pirates at Web sites in China, Russia and elsewhere who have offered free American movies, television shows, music and books almost as soon as they are released. Heavyweights like the Walt Disney Company secured the support of senators and representatives before the Web companies were even aware the legislation existed.</p>
<p>“A lot of people are pitching this as Hollywood versus Google. It’s so much more than that,” said Maura Corbett, spokeswoman for NetCoalition, which represents Google, Amazon.com, Yahoo, eBay and other Web companies. “I would love to say we’re so fabulous, we’re just that good, but we’re not. The Internet responded the way only the Internet could.”</p>
<p>For the more traditional media industry, the moment was menacing. Supporters of the legislation accused the Web companies of willfully lying about the legislation’s flaws, stirring fear to protect ill-gotten profits from illegal Web sites.</p>
<p>Mr. Dodd said Internet companies might well change Washington, but not necessarily for the better with their ability to spread their message globally, without regulation or fact-checking.</p>
<p>“It’s a new day,” he added. “Brace yourselves.”</p>
<p>Citing two longtime liberal champions of the First Amendment, Senator Patrick Leahy and Representative John Conyers Jr. of Michigan, Mr. Dodd fumed, “No one can seriously believe Pat Leahy and John Conyers can be backing legislation to block free speech or break the Internet.”</p>
<p>For at least four years, Hollywood studios, recording industry and major publishing houses have pressed Congress to act against offshore Web sites that have been giving away U.S. movies, music and books as fast as the artists can make them.</p>

<p>Warren Buffett will be writing a check made out to the United States Treasury for just over $49,000 to help pay down the national debt.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s matching voluntary contributions made this year and last year by Rep. Scott Rigell, a Republican representing Virginia.</p>
<p>In a letter to Rep. Rigell released today by Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett writes he&#8217;s &#8220;particularly impressed that you took this action before my challenge.&#8221;</p>
<p>In his challenge, issued in a Time Magazine interview last week, Buffett promises to match voluntary contributions aimed at reducing the deficit by &#8220;all Republican members of Congress, and I&#8217;ll even go three for one with (Senate Minority Leader Mitch) McConnell.&#8221;</p>
<p>McConnell, and other critics of Buffett&#8217;s call for higher tax rates on the super-rich, have been suggesting that if Buffett thinks he&#8217;s not taxed enough then he should &#8220;send in a check&#8221; to the Treasury.</p>
<p>In his letter to Buffett, also released by Berkshire, Rep. Rigell writes, that he &#8220;appreciates&#8221; and &#8220;gladly accepts&#8221; Buffett&#8217;s &#8220;generous offer.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rigell says he makes it a practice to donate 15 percent of his Congressional salary &#8220;to pay down the debt.&#8221; That amounted to $23,103.33 in 2011 and about $26,100 in 2012.</p>
<p>Rigell adds, &#8220;Though we differ on tax policy, as fellow Americans and businessmen I know that we share this common bond: a deep concern over the state and trajectory of our country&#8217;s finances.&#8221;</p>
<p>Buffett writes back that he hopes Rigell&#8217;s action &#8220;spurs an intramural rivalry between Republicans and Democrats .. a form of competition between the two parties that the American people would applaud&#8221; as a &#8220;small step&#8221; toward &#8220;better cooperation between the two parties.&#8221;</p>
<p>Buffett will wait until April 20 to write his check to see if anyone else accepts his challenge.</p>

Published: January 18, 2012 </p>
<p>TALLAHASSEE, Florida &#8211;</p>
<p>A Senate committee will consider a bill that would allow lawmakers to secretly privatize or outsource state agency functions. That includes privatizing the state&#8217;s prisons.</p>
<p>The Senate rules committee will take up the bill (PCB 7170) at its Wednesday afternoon meeting. The bill essentially means that an agency would not have to report its privatization of a program or service until after the contract is signed.</p>
<p>Open government advocates say the bill would keep the public in the dark about the costs of outsourcing government services. But proponents counter that the measure requires any privatization deal to first offer &#8220;a substantial savings&#8221; to the state. </p>

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger</p>
<div>
<p><a href="http://wakeup-world.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/toxic-food-456.jpg"><img title="Foods-To-Avoid" src="http://wakeup-world.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/toxic-food-456-300x209.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="209" /></a></p>
</div>
<p>(NaturalNews) Ever wonder what&#8217;s really in the food sold at grocery stores around the world? People keep asking me, &#8220;What ingredients should I avoid?&#8221; So I put together a short list that covers all the most toxic and disease-promoting ingredients in the food supply. These are the substances causing cancer, diabetes, heart disease and leading to tens of billions of dollars in unnecessary health care costs across America (and around the world).</p>
<p>If you want to stay healthy and out of the hospital, read ingredients labels and make sure you avoid all these ingredients:</p>
<p>Acrylamides &#8211; Toxic, cancer-causing chemicals formed in foods when carbohydrates are exposed to high heat (baking, frying, grilling). They&#8217;re present in everything from bread crusts to snack chips, and because they aren&#8217;t intentional ingredients, acrylamides do NOT have to be listed on labels.</p>
<p>Aspartame &#8211; Chemical sweetener that causes neurological disorders, seizures, blurred vision and migraine headaches.</p>
<p>Autolyzed Proteins &#8211; Highly processed form of protein containing free glutamate and used to mimic the taste-enhancer chemical MSG.</p>
<p>BPA (Bisphenol-A) &#8211; A hormone mimicking chemical found in nearly all food packaging plastics. Active in just parts per billion, BPA promotes cancer, infertility and hormone disorders. It also &#8220;feminizes&#8221; males, promoting male breast growth and hormone disruption.</p>
<p>Casein &#8211; Milk proteins. Hilariously, this is widely used in &#8220;soy cheese&#8221; products that claim to be alternatives to cow&#8217;s milk. Nearly all of them are made with cow&#8217;s milk proteins.</p>
<p>Corn Syrup &#8211; Just another name for High Fructose Corn Syrup (see below). Frequently used in infant formula products.</p>
<p>Food Colors &#8211; FD&amp;C Red #40, for example, is linked to behavioral disorders in children. Nearly all artificial food colors are derived from petroleum, and many are contaminated with aluminum.</p>
<p>Genetically Modified Ingredients &#8211; Not currently listed on the label because the GMO industry (Monsanto and DuPont) absolutely does not want people to know which foods contain GMOs. Nearly all conventionally grown corn, soy and cotton are GMOs. They&#8217;re linked to severe infertility problems and may even cause the bacteria in your body to produce and release a pesticide in your own gut. If you&#8217;re not eating organic corn, you&#8217;re definitely eating GMO corn.</p>
<p>High Fructose Corn Syrup &#8211; A highly processed liquid sugar extracted with the chemical solvent glutaraldehyde and frequently contaminated with mercury. It&#8217;s also linked to diabetes, obesity and mood disorders. Used in thousands of grocery items, including things you wouldn&#8217;t suspect like pizza sauce and salad dressings.</p>
<p>Homogenized Milk &#8211; The fats in the milk are artificially modified to change them into smaller molecules that stay in suspension in the milk liquid (so the milk fat doesn&#8217;t separate). While it makes milk look better on the shelf, it&#8217;s also blamed for promoting heart disease and may contribute to milk allergies. Raw milk is healthier, which is why the government had outlawed it.</p>
<p>Hydrochloride &#8211; When you see anything hydrochloride, such as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride or Thiamin Hydrochloride, those are chemical forms of B vitamins that companies add to their products to be able to claim higher RDA values of vitamins. But these are synthetic, chemical forms of vitamins, not real vitamins from foods or plants. Nutritionally, they are near-useless and may actually be bad for you. Also watch out for niacinamide and cyanocobalamin (synthetic vitamin B-12).</p>
<p>Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein &#8211; A highly processed form of (usually) soy protein that&#8217;s processed to bring out the free glutamate (MSG). Use as a taste enhancer.</p>
<p>Partially Hydrogenated Oils &#8211; Oils that are modified using a chemical catalyst to make them stable at room temperature. This creates trans fatty acids and greatly increases the risk of blocked arteries. It also promotes what I call &#8220;sludge blood,&#8221; which is thick, viscous blood that&#8217;s hard to pump. This is usually diagnosed by doctors as &#8220;high blood pressure&#8221; and (stupidly) treated with blood-thinning medications that are technically the same chemicals as rat poison (warfarin).</p>
<p>Phosphoric Acid &#8211; The acid used in sodas to dissolve the carbon dioxide and add to the overall fizzy-ness of the soda. Phosphoric acid will eat steel nails. It&#8217;s also used by stone masons to etch rocks. The military uses it to clean the rust off battleships. In absolutely destroys tooth enamel Search Google Images for &#8220;Mountain Dew Mouth&#8221; to see photos of teeth rotted out by phosphoric acid.</p>
<p>Propylene Glycol &#8211; A liquid used in the automotive industry to winterize RVs. It&#8217;s also used to make the fake blueberries you see in blueberry muffins, bagels and breads. (Combined with artificial colors and corn syrup.) See shocking &#8220;Fake Blueberries&#8221;.</p>
<p>Sodium (Salt) &#8211; The processed white salt lacking in trace minerals. In the holistic nutrition industry, we call it &#8220;death salt&#8221; because it promotes disease and death. Real salt, on the other hand, such as &#8220;dirty&#8221; sea salt or pink Himalayan salt, is loaded with the trace minerals that prevent disease, such as selenium (cancer), chromium (diabetes) and zinc (infectious disease). Much like with bread and sugar, white salt is terrible for your health. And don&#8217;t be fooled by claims of &#8220;sea salt&#8221; in grocery stores. All salt came from the sea if you go far back enough in geologic time, so they can slap the &#8220;sea salt&#8221; claim on ANY salt!</p>
<p>Sodium Nitrite &#8211; A cancer-causing red coloring chemical added to bacon, hot dogs, sausage, beef jerky, ham, lunch meats, pepperoni and nearly all processed meats. Strongly linked to brain tumors, pancreatic cancers and colon cancers.  The USDA once tried to ban it from the food supply but was out-maneuvered by the meat industry, which now dominates USDA regulations. Sodium nitrite is a complete poison used to make meats look fresh. Countless children die of cancer each year from sodium nitrite-induced cancers.</p>
