The National Sleep Foundation has released its annual "Sleep in America Poll," which reveals how much sleep Americans are getting, what their bedtime habits are, and who's taking medications when sleep is elusive.
This year, for the first time, the report explored differences in the sleep habits of different ethnic groups.
And overall, no one's getting enough sleep. Fewer than half of respondents from each ethnic group say they get a good night's sleep on most nights.
African Americans reported the least amount of sleep. Inadequate sleep is starting to be associated with obesity, heart disease and diabetes -- all diseases that are more prevalent among African Americans.
Dr. Mercola's Comments:
The United States as a whole is one sleepy nation, according to the latest poll from the National Sleep Foundation (NSF). Only about four in 10 respondents said they got a good night’s sleep every night, or almost every night, of the week.
While there were some differences in sleep habits among ethnic groups (African Americans reported getting the least amount of sleep), the overall trend was that Americans are sorely lacking on good-quality shut-eye. About one-third of adults in all ethnic groups said they get less sleep than they need to function at their best.
Before the invention of the light bulb, people slept an average of 10 hours a night. Nowadays, a separate NSF poll found that Americans sleep just under 7 hours per night, on average, during the week and about 7.5 hours on the weekends.
While I don’t believe there is a hard-and-fast rule as to how long you must sleep, it is crucial that you do get enough to feel well-rested.
What Happens When You’re Sleep-Deprived?
Americans get about 25 percent less sleep than they did a century ago -- and this isn’t just a matter of having less energy.
Too little sleep impacts your levels of thyroid and stress hormones, which in turn can affect your memory and immune system, your heart and metabolism, and much more. Over time, lack of sleep can lead to:
•Weight gain
•Depression
•High blood sugar levels and an increased risk of diabetes
•Brain damage
The consequences of sleep deprivation are so intense because your circadian rhythm has evolved over hundreds of generations to align your physiology with your environment, and your body clock assumes that, like your ancestors, you sleep at night and stay awake during daylight hours.
If you confuse the situation by depriving yourself of enough hours of sleep, you send conflicting signals to your body. For instance, in addition to the above, too little sleep can:
1.Increase your risk of cancer by altering the balance of hormones in your body
2.Accelerate aging
3.Increase your risk of heart disease and stroke
4.Raise your blood pressure
5.Speed up tumor growth. Tumors grow two to three times faster in laboratory animals with severe sleep dysfunctions
Sleep researchers from across the United States have also discovered that:
•A single night of sleeping only four to six hours can impact your ability to think clearly the next day.
•Sleep deprivation can cause changes in your brain activity similar to those experienced by people with psychiatric disorders.
Additionally, your body does most of its repairs during sleep, so not getting enough of it can impair your immune system, leaving you less able to fight off diseases of ALL kinds.
Why You Should Turn Off the TV Well Before Bedtime
There are numerous reasons why the United States is a nation of insomniacs, and stress is certainly near the top of that list, but another often overlooked cause has to do with your bedtime ritual.
The most common activity done every night (or almost every night) before bed for Americans of all ethnic groups is watching TV. According to NSF’s poll, 75% of African-Americans, 72% of Hispanics, 64% of Whites, and 52% of Asians watch TV within one hour of going to bed.
This is a mistake, as research suggests that television can cause irregular sleep patterns and sleep difficulties. Aside from the obvious impact of purposely staying up late to catch your favorite late, late show, violent images on TV stimulate your body’s “fight or flight” response to stress. But since you know that the threat is not real, you suppress it.
This engages your brain in a constant mode of impulse and suppression, and when you turn off the TV, all of this built up impulse must be released, which may make it difficult to fall asleep.
It really doesn’t matter what type of TV show you’re watching, however. Television is stimulating to your brain and it will take you longer to fall asleep if you watch right before bed.
Further, if there is even the tiniest bit of light in your bedroom -- including the glow from your television -- it can disrupt your circadian rhythm and your pineal gland's production of melatonin and serotonin.
Melatonin is secreted primarily in your brain and at night it triggers a host of biochemical activities, including a nocturnal reduction in your body's estrogen levels. It’s thought that chronically decreasing your melatonin production at night -- as occurs when you’re exposed to nighttime light -- increases your risk of developing cancer.
The more your sleep is disrupted by light pollution, the lower your melatonin levels and the greater your risk of developing cancer becomes. So PLEASE make sure you sleep in a pitch-dark room every night -- and this means not only installing blackout drapes if necessary, but also turning off the TV!
How to Get More Shut-Eye
If you’re staying up late watching TV, surfing the Web, or working, it’s time to set some limits. Determine a set bedtime for yourself, just as you do for your children, and try not to let any other activities interfere with this time.
What time should you go to sleep? A good rule of thumb to follow is that if you feel tired when you wake up, you probably aren’t getting enough sleep. Most of us have set times that we need to wake up in the morning, so getting more sleep, for most of us, means going to bed earlier.
I actually recommend getting to bed as early as possible. Your body, particularly your adrenals, do a majority of their recharging or recovering during the hours of 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., so you should definitely try to be asleep during those hours.
At least an hour before your bedtime (but preferably two or more) start to wind down from your day. You may want to spend time journaling, meditating, sipping herbal tea, washing your face, using Meridian Tapping/Emotional Freedom Techniques (MTT/EFT) or reading a calming or spiritual book.
During this time, turn off your phone and your e-mail, and put away all work. This will give your mind a chance to unwind so you can go to sleep feeling calm, not hyped up or anxious about tomorrow's deadlines.
Once in the bedroom, some people find the sound of white noise or nature sounds, such as the ocean or forest, to be soothing for sleep. You’ll also want to adjust the temperature in your bedroom to a cool setting (most people find they sleep best at temperatures no higher than 70 degrees F and perhaps even a bit lower than that).
For even more helpful guidance on how to improve your sleep, please review my 33 Secrets to a Good Night’s Sleep. If you’re even slightly sleep deprived I encourage you to implement some of these tips tonight, as high-quality sleep is one of the most important factors in your

venerdì 21 ottobre 2011The Lucis Trust behind Occupy Wall street [UPDATED]
I know it sounds crazy, but what i found out about this movement it's just unbelievable.
I will try to make this short.
On the 15th October 2011 begun the worldwide action. For the first time in history, upwards of 15 million people in sixty countries marched together for a "global change". Their official website is: http://15october.net/
Someone decided to find out who owns that domain name by visiting this site: http://who.godaddy.com/ (This is a database with a searchable list of every single domain currently registered in the world).
As you can see from the printscreen i took, before the 18th October the registrant was
"Paulina Arcos
866 United Nations Plaza
Suite 516
New York, New York 10017
United States"
Well... Who the hell is she? I googled her name and i couldn't find many infos, but i found out that she is Francisco Carrion Mena (permanent representative of Ecuador, chairman of the special committee at the UN) 's wife. Okay. I thought i had no more things to discover. The UN were behind this movement, that's it.
Well, i was wrong... While reading a book ("Freemasonry and Secret Societies" by Epiphanius, edition "Controcorrente" April 2008, page 620 ), i found out that the unofficial Lucis Trust's address is: 866 United Nations Plaza New York, and this information appears just on two books: the one i was reading, and on "Die Netzwerke der Insider" by Peter Blackwood.
Wait a minute.... This must be a joke.
...but here it comes the unbelievable part: On the 19th October, the WHOIS Information is been changed!!! In fact the registrant now is:
DomainsByProxy.com
15111 N. Hayden Rd., Ste 160, PMB 353

New infos about this "global movement": Let's see WHO support them...
George Soros expressed sympathy with OWS (Occupy Wall Street).
Let's read something about him: George Soros is a member of the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations), the Trilateral Commission (a super-elite cabal of 300 international power brokers who practically rule the world), the Bilderberg Group and he is founder and chairman of the Open Society Foundations. He is known as "the Man Who Broke the Bank of England" because of his US$1 billion in investment profits earned in a single day (16th Sept 1992).
Mikhail Gorbachev says "Occupy Wall Street" signals an emerging New World Order.
Don't forgeto who is Gorbachev: a premier world Leader and boasts members at the highest levels of the United Nations bureaucracy, a member of the Lucis Trust (as reported by the EIR, Executive Intelligence Review di Washington).
..and guess what? His "Millennium Forum" is located in 866 United Nations Plaza, Suite 120, New York (as you can see here).
Here’s what Gorbachev said during on October 20th at Lafayette College. Exactly! The same address of the Lucis Trust...
“We are reaping the consequences of a strategy that is not conducive to cooperation and partnership, to living in a new global situation. The world needs goals that will bring people together. Some people in the United States were pushing the idea of creating a global American empire, and that was a mistake from the start. Other people in America are now giving thought to the future of their country. The big banks, the big corporations, are still paying the same big bonuses to their bosses. Was there ever a crisis for them? . . . I believe America needs its own perestroika. The entire world situation did not develop properly. We saw deterioration where there should have been positive movement.
My friend the late Pope John Paul II said it best. He said, ‘We need a new world order, one that is more stable, more humane, and more just.’ Others, including myself, have spoken about a new world order, but we are still facing the problem of building such a world order…problems of the environment, of backwardness and poverty, food shortages…all because we do not have a system of global governance. We cannot leave things as they were before, when we are seeing that these protests are moving to even new countries, that almost all countries are now witnessing such protests, that the people want change. As we are addressing these challenges, these problems raised by these protest movements, we will gradually find our way towards a new world order.”
Even economists support protesters (LOL). An anti-banks protest supported by big economists? Let's report some of them:
Mario Draghi: an Italian banker and economist who has been governor of the Bank of Italy since 16 January 2006. He has been designated to succeed Jean-Claude Trichet as President of the European Central Bank by November 2011.
Richard D. Wolff: an American economist, well-known for his work on Marxian economics, economic methodology, and class analysis.
Paul Robin Krugman: an American economist, professor of Economics and International Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, Centenary Professor at the London School of Economics, and an op-ed columnist for The New York Times. In 2008, Krugman won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his contributions to New Trade Theory and New Economic Geography.
Jeff Madrick: a journalist, economic policy consultant and analyst. He is director of policy research at the Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis, The New School. He was formerly finance editor of Business Week Magazine and an NBC News reporter and commentator.
Joseph Eugene Stiglitz: an American economist and a professor at Columbia University. He is a recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (2001) and the John Bates Clark Medal (1979). He is also the former Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of the World Bank. He is known for his critical view of the management of globalization, free-market economists (whom he calls "free market fundamentalists") and some international institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. He is one of the most frequently cited economists in the world.
One more thing: the participants' slogan is "We are the 99%" (referred to the difference in wealth between the top 1% and the other citizens of the United States).
Isn't it ironic that they have "rich supporters"? I list two more "supporters":
Russell Simmons: an American business magnate as the co-founder, with Rick Rubin, of the pioneering hip-hop label Def Jam, and creator of the clothing fashion lines Phat Farm, Argyleculture, and American Classics. He is the third richest figure in hip-hop, having a net-worth estimate of $340 million as of April 2011.
Jimmy Wales: a co-founder and promoter of the online non-profit encyclopedia Wikipedia and the Wikia company. He is a member of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School and the advisory board of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence, the Board of Directors at Creative Commons, Socialtext, and Hunch.com, and former co-chair of the World Economic Forum on the Middle East 2008. By the World Economic Forum he is one of the "Young Global Leaders" of 2007.
Occupy Wall Street is now on wikipedia (what a coincidence).
Well... do you need more evidence?
ADDENDUM: Let's take a look at our protest against the Pope and the New World Order in Assisi, Italy (27th October 2011).
Only 6 guys with some banners at the second ecumenic meeting with the Pope... and we couldn't even protest!

October 31, 2011 Tumeric and Brain Tumors in Mice
October 31, 2011
Common spice shrinks
81% of brain tumors
Last week, I showed you how a spice mixture containing cinnamon, turmeric, and several other spices can lower your triglycerides and your insulin levels. Several of these spices have been in the news a lot lately. But one of them in particular — turmeric — is really making headlines. This week, I'll show you how this one spice can fight brain tumors. And I'll show you how to make it work even better.
The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry recently released the results of a study on turmeric and a specific type of brain cancer. The fatal brain cancer is known as glioblastoma (GBMs). In this study, the researchers divided 22 rats into two groups. They gave one group turmeric and the other remained untreated.
The Only Type of Vitamin D
You Should Be Taking Today
You know you're not getting enough Vitamin D.
One reason is because your body naturally produces less of it as you age.
And many products you see are NOT the right form of Vitamin D.
What should you do?
At the end of the study, the researchers found that 9 out of 11 of the turmeric-treated group had their tumors shrink. At the same time, the control group had zero tumors shrink. Imagine that — 81% of the turmeric-treated tumors shrinking compared to 0% in the control group. That's about as convincing as you're going to get!
What's more, the turmeric caused zero toxicity in normal cells. The researchers said this suggests "that curcumin selectivity targeted transformed (i.e., cancer) cells."
But this news gets even better. The researchers also found that the turmeric worked synergistically with two different chemotherapy drugs used on GBMs. This enhanced the elimination of cancer cells. This is very exciting, as doctors have long told patients to avoid nutrients during cancer treatment, as they may help the tumor. But this particular nutrient does just the opposite. It works with the chemo to destroy the tumor.
This study clearly identifies turmeric as a powerful anti-cancer treatment for GBMs. But it's likely turmeric will help with any cancer. Turmeric has the ability to lower inflammation. And inflammation is a major problem with any cancer.
If you have any cancer, talk to your doctor about adding turmeric to your anti-cancer regimen. It could save your life. If you want to lower general inflammation and help prevent possible tumors, consider trying Reduloxin. This supplement has an advanced form of turmeric called Meriva. Meriva is significantly easier to absorb than normal turmeric, which can be difficult to absorb. This makes Meriva work up to 29 times better than your typical turmeric.
Your insider for great health,

This is very exciting, as doctors have long told patients to avoid nutrients during cancer treatment, as they may help the tumor. But this particular nutrient does just the opposite. It works with the chemo to destroy the tumor.
This study clearly identifies turmeric as a powerful anti-cancer treatment for GBMs. But it's likely turmeric will help with any cancer. Turmeric has the ability to lower inflammation. And inflammation is a major problem with any cancer.
If you have any cancer, talk to your doctor about adding turmeric to your anti-cancer regimen. It could save your life. If you want to lower general inflammation and help prevent possible tumors, consider trying Reduloxin. This supplement has an advanced form of turmeric called Meriva. Meriva is significantly easier to absorb than normal turmeric, which can be difficult to absorb. This makes Meriva work up to 29 times better than your typical turmeric.

Libya: War Without End
Libya: War Without End
Commentary, News // Oct 30 2011
by Stephen Lendman
Libya will long be remembered as one of history’s great crimes. For over eight months, NATO’s killing machine ravaged the country, killing tens of thousands.
Years of protracted conflict lie ahead. Libyans will keep struggling until they’re free from NATO’s scourge.
UN Resolution 1973 authorized a no-fly zone. In fact, it lawlessly declared war. A prosperous, peaceful, nonbelligerent country and its way of life was destroyed.
Civilians and non-military sites were deliberately targeted. Cold-blooded murder and mass destruction were planned.
Sirte, a city once home to 100,000, symbolizes NATO’s depravity. Terror bombing destroyed it. Thousands were massacred.
Under international law, it’s a war crime.
Under the 1907 Hague Regulations, Fourth Geneva, Geneva’s Common Article III, and various other international laws, civilians are protected persons. So is civilian property. Attacking them is prohibited. War crimes are clearly defined. The principles of distinction and proportionality also apply:
distinction between combatants and military targets v. civilians and non-military ones; attacking latter ones are war crimes except when civilians take direct part in hostilities; and
proportionality prohibits disproportionate, indiscriminate force likely to cause damage to or loss of lives and objects.
In addition, precautions must be taken to avoid and minimize incidental loss of civilian lives, injuries to them, and damage to non-military sites. Under Fourth Geneva, they must be given “effective advance warning” and “neutralized zones” where they can be as protected as possible.
Fourth Geneva also prohibits collective punishment; the use of human shields; private property destruction; torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment; denying the population adequate amounts of food and medical supplies; and assuring free passage of all “consignments” intended for civilian purposes.
Nonetheless, in all US/NATO wars, including Libya (besides earlier American ones), these provisions are systematically and willfully violated.
Civilians and nonmilitary sites are considered legitimate targets. Western powers spuriously claim every effort to spare them. Media scoundrels ignore their crimes.
The UN Charter’s Article 2(7) states:
“Nothing contained in the present charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit matters to settlement under the present Charter; but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter VII,” pertaining to threats to peace, its breaches, or acts of aggression.
NATO’s humanitarian responsibility to protect duplicity terrorized and slaughtered civilians lawlessly. Millions of Libyans won’t forgive or forget, including Sirte survivors.
Under siege for weeks, food, medical supplies and other essentials were cut off. Basic infrastructure was destroyed, including power, water and sanitation systems.
Homes, schools, mosques, hospitals and other civilian sites were bombed. Terror weapons were used including thermobaric fuel-air bombs and white phosphorous able to burn flesh to the bone.
Virtually every structure was destroyed or damaged. Rebel rats looted what they found. Even news reports described a scorched earth campaign, including grim scenes reminiscent of Grozny in Russia’s Chechen war, Guernica, the Warsaw Ghetto, and other historical terror bombing targets.
On October 27, Human Rights Investigations (HRI) headlined, “Responsibility to protect: the liberation of Sirte,” saying:
Over 400 air strikes targeted Sirte for weeks. Each delivered powerful munitions. In addition, rebel rats “indiscriminately shell(ed) the town with tank fire, heavy mortar fire and artillery.”
NATO declined comment “on why it did nothing to protect (civilians) and why it has been complicit in these war crimes.”
“….(U)ndisciplined and in some cases genocidal mobs” committed horrific atrocities. NATO authorized their “murderous rampage,” as well as elsewhere across Libya.
“….Red Cross officials have said they have found (267) dead in Sirte, most of whom they believe were killed” the day Sirte fell.
International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo hasn’t “pursued action against pro-NATO forces. In fact, he has been involved (complicity) in spreading propaganda and inciting racial hatred during the conflict.”
On October 11, Transitional National Council (TNC) chairman Mustafa Abdul Jalil told rebel rat fighters, “You have the support of all the members of the transitional council.” He also authorized other war crimes.
“Currently what is left of Sirte is being thoroughly looted.” BBC said reconstruction is unlikely. Crumbled remains will stay “a memorial to Colonel Gaddafi’s victims,” shifting blame for horrific NATO crimes onto him instead of reporting responsibly.
Clearly, said HRI, “responsibility to protest (R2P) has been hi-jacked by NATO and its supporters as a justification for its military campaign and has lost its humanitarian content, becoming little more than a weapon in the propaganda war to draw ill-informed citizens into consent for military action.”
In fact, too many people who know better took the bait and believed it. They still do, thinking NATO intervened for humanitarian reasons.
Bosnians, Serbs, Iraqis, Afghans, Libyans and other NATO victims know better. Ask them. They’ll explain.
On October 25 on Russia Today, nuclear expert Christopher Busby discussed a new report about “uranium-enhanced weapons” used against Fallujah, Iraq in 2004. Horrific birth defects and congenital diseases resulted.
Washington and NATO use depleted uranium (DU) weapons in all wars. Busby exposed evidence of enriched uranium, “the kind used in nuclear reactors and bombs,” he said, adding:
His “results prove the existence of a new secret uranium weapon. We have found some US patents for thermobaric and directed charge warheads which employ uranium powder to increase their effect.”
Calling it “quite scary,” he explained bomb crater evidence “in Lebanon in 2006 after the Israeli attacks and found one which was radioactive and which contained enriched uranium. We found enriched uranium in car air filters from Lebanon and also from Gaza. Others have found evidence of its use in Afghanistan and possibly also in the Balkans.”
Busby called the discovery “astonishing with many global implications.”
It suggests NATO used these weapons in Libya, including against Sirte. As a result, epidemic levels of cancer, other diseases, and congenital birth defects will follow.
Libya not only was ravaged, likely permanent contamination makes wide areas hazardous. No amount of radiation is safe. It’s harmful, cumulative, permanent, unforgiving, and deadly.
Science never found a safe threshold. Radiation poisoning causes cancer, leukemia, other diseases, birth defects, stillbirths, miscarriages, sterility, malformations, open lesions, and more, including permanent genetic damage passed on to offspring.
Busby said it “poison(s) the gene pool of whole populations. This is a war crime and must be properly investigated….It has probably been used in Libya, so we must wait and see what levels of cancer and congenital diseases appear there.”
After heroically holding out for weeks, NATO and rebel rats now control Sirte. NSNBC called their operation “one of the most outrageous war crimes of the century,” including hundreds of summary executions.
On October 24, Human Rights Watch reported 53 Gaddafi supporters murdered at a Sirte hotel.
On October 26, Russia Today (RT.com) said:
“Three hundred bodies of alleged Gaddafi allies have been found in Sirte, shot in the head with hands tied behind their backs. Are (NATO forces) guilty of ordering political executions….?”
RT called NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen’s comments at a recent Brussels news conference “a grimly prophetic joke,” saying:
“Our military forces prevented a massacre and saved countless lives.”
In fact, mass destruction, slaughter and atrocities defined its campaign from inception. Knowledgeable observers are horrified by the depravity of NATO’s campaign without end.
Whether or not bombing ends October 31, NATO came to Libya to stay. Blue Helmet paramilitary enforcers will join them.
On October 29, RIA/Novosti headlined, “NATO will stop bombing Libya but won’t leave,” saying:
“The Security Council did not end the war.” It’s not over, and NATO’s not leaving. “They will simply change the name of the operation” to one called “the Friends of Libya coalition.”
A dozen or more countries will be involved, including America, Britain, France, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and other regional states.
“To sum up, the war will continue for some time, and NATO will remain in NATO for a long time to come….”
In fact, NATO comes to stay. Like Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, permanent bases will be built. Occupation, colonization and plunder will follow.
Humanitarian considerations, free elections, and other democratic values are non-starters.
Iron-fisted rule is coming. Libyans know their liberating struggle won’t end easily or quickly, but they’re committed never to quit.

Your Medical Privacy–
Another ObamaCare Casualty
by Elizabeth Lee Vliet, M.D.
It was a sad day recently when a married menopausal woman learned that her recent Pap test was positive for human papilloma virus (HPV). “How could this happen?” she asked. “I have not had sex with anyone but my husband since we married 30 years ago.”
Over the past year, her husband had several trips overseas for weeks at the time. She suspected the positive HPV indicated he had been unfaithful, but when she asked him, he said, “Oh, it can be latent for a long time.”
I showed her my records from 2008 and 2009: Paps were HPV negative. Her newly positive HPV likely means her husband had had sex with an infected person during his travels. She broke down weeping.
HPV is an increasingly prevalent sexually transmitted disease that can hit women of all ages and increases the risk of invasive cervical cancer—another reason she was upset about becoming HPV positive. She now faced hard decisions. As she left, I felt sad watching her suffer with the impact of this news on her marriage.
This kind of painful situation happens daily in doctors’ offices. Such personal and private pain should remain between the patient, physician, and family.
My patients are horrified at the idea that such personal health information could be released to a government database, open to anyone with access to the system. But your privacy is another casualty of the damage caused by Obamacare’s new rules and regulations governing health professionals.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently released new federal regulation that requires private health insurance companies to give health records of every person they insure to the government.
Although government jargon in the HHS rules distracts from their real goal, the end result is clear: government bureaucrats would have access to the health records from all private insurance companies—including yours—whether you want them to or not.
Under the new rules, the Federal government will own and control your medical records, without your permission. The government will be your new “overlord” controlling your medical information on federal computers in a federal database. You will no longer be able to control who sees your medical information.
The most personal aspects of your life are slated to be sent to Washington by your private insurance carrier for all your medical visits. This provides individual medical data for the federally run Comparative Effectiveness Research coordinating panel of experts. This panel of government-appointed experts, copying the rationing approach in Britain, will decide what treatment is allowed for individuals, based on government criteria such as:
cost of treatment
effectiveness as determined by government experts
your “quality life years” remaining
Beyond privacy issues, there is major concern about safety of your medical information when hackers can penetrate even highly secure federal agency computers such as the Pentagon, VA, and Department of Defense. Hackers stole millions of medical records from the Veterans Administration, and patients were at risk for identity theft.
David Blumenthal, M.D., the President’s former “health information czar,” admitted that “no infrastructure exists in most areas of the country for secure health information exchange among providers and between providers and consumers.”
Medical privacy? The Obama administration’s health czars seem more concerned about power and control over your medical care than protection of your private medical information.
In summary, the Obamacare “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” of 2010 and the “Stimulus Bill” of 2009 gave the federal government total control of very personal aspects of your life:
money that is currently in the private healthcare sector
your private personal and family health information
your access to timely medical care
the types of treatment you will be allowed to have, based on your age and value to society
If you value your privacy and freedom to choose your medical treatment, then you need to consider candidates in 2012 who vow to defund, dismantle, and repeal Obamacare. We need patient-centered reform that puts freedom back into our hands as our Founders intended. Ronald Reagan warned: Socialism begins with government control of medicine.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the destruction of the American Constitution. On October 26, 2001, the Bush administration and U.S. Congress passed the Patriot (Traitor) Act and used the false flag 9/11 attacks to sell it to the American people.

One particular nut drops
triglyceride levels by 10.2%
You've probably heard that nuts are a superfood. New studies come out monthly extolling the power of nuts to keep you healthy. Most of these studies focus on almonds. But two new studies say another great-tasting nut can drop your triglycerides and your LDL cholesterol.
The first study found that pistachio nuts (67 gms daily) can lower your total cholesterol by 5.1% and LDL by 7.4%. These green nuts also improved LDL to HDL ratios by 5.6%. But that wasn't the big news. Those study participants with high triglycerides (.150 mg/dl) saw their levels drop by 10.2%. The researchers said the nuts work best in those with higher LDL cholesterol and/or with a lower body mass index.
The Case Against Detoxing
Why detoxing can actually make your body more toxic...Plus what to do instead to rid your body of pesticides, heavy metals, and other dangerous chemicals.
Learn More Here
In the second study, researchers confirmed the first study. They found that 32-63 grams (10% of daily energy needs) per day of pistachio nuts reduced serum oxidized LDL concentrations. It also raised plasma lutein, alpha-carotene, and gamma tocopherol. These are important natural antioxidants.
This should have made big headlines in the news. Since it wasn't a drug study, it didn't. We know oxidized LDL effects coronary and arterial disease. What a simple treatment to reduce the fundamental cause of many heart attacks!
Why does this great tasting food have these amazing benefits? First, it's loaded with phytosterols. These plant molecules are similar in structure to cholesterol. They might interfere with cholesterol absorption. But that's not all. Pistachio fats are about 50% monounsaturated, 8.5% saturated, and the rest is unsaturated. Almost all of the unsaturated fat is omega-6 parent oil linoleic acid (about 30%).
Whole nut consumption is usually healthy. In most cases, no one has extracted the oils. This would otherwise make them susceptible to oxidation/rancidity/rusting. In this case, omega 6 seems to be a hero, contrary to the current marine oil omega-3 dogma. This certainly fits with the information I've written here about parent oils. The most important key in correcting heart disease, in my book, is totally eliminating adulterated oils. You must replace these with unadulterated parent oils. Pistachios are a tasty treat to assist in this. While dry roasted pistachios are most common, unroasted pistachios are also readily available. Not heated, they're far healthier for you.
If you eat a largely uncooked diet, you'll be getting lots of plant sterols and unadulterated fatty acids. This will help lower your dangerous oxidized lipids and speed you on your way to literally preventing and even reversing vascular disease.
Yours for better health and medical freedom,
Robert J. Rowen, MD

You've probably heard that nuts are a superfood. New studies come out monthly extolling the power of nuts to keep you healthy. Most of these studies focus on almonds. But two new studies say another great-tasting nut can drop your triglycerides and your LDL cholesterol.
The first study found that pistachio nuts (67 gms daily) can lower your total cholesterol by 5.1% and LDL by 7.4%. These green nuts also improved LDL to HDL ratios by 5.6%. But that wasn't the big news. Those study participants with high triglycerides (.150 mg/dl) saw their levels drop by 10.2%. The researchers said the nuts work best in those with higher LDL cholesterol and/or with a lower body mass index.
The Case Against Detoxing
Why detoxing can actually make your body more toxic...Plus what to do instead to rid your body of pesticides, heavy metals, and other dangerous chemicals.

In the second study, researchers confirmed the first study. They found that 32-63 grams (10% of daily energy needs) per day of pistachio nuts reduced serum oxidized LDL concentrations. It also raised plasma lutein, alpha-carotene, and gamma tocopherol. These are important natural antioxidants.
This should have made big headlines in the news. Since it wasn't a drug study, it didn't. We know oxidized LDL effects coronary and arterial disease. What a simple treatment to reduce the fundamental cause of many heart attacks!
Why does this great tasting food have these amazing benefits? First, it's loaded with phytosterols. These plant molecules are similar in structure to cholesterol. They might interfere with cholesterol absorption. But that's not all. Pistachio fats are about 50% monounsaturated, 8.5% saturated, and the rest is unsaturated. Almost all of the unsaturated fat is omega-6 parent oil linoleic acid (about 30%).
Whole nut consumption is usually healthy. In most cases, no one has extracted the oils. This would otherwise make them susceptible to oxidation/rancidity/rusting. In this case, omega 6 seems to be a hero, contrary to the current marine oil omega-3 dogma. This certainly fits with the information I've written here about parent oils. The most important key in correcting heart disease, in my book, is totally eliminating adulterated oils. You must replace these with unadulterated parent oils. Pistachios are a tasty treat to assist in this. While dry roasted pistachios are most common, unroasted pistachios are also readily available. Not heated, they're far healthier for you.
If you eat a largely uncooked diet, you'll be getting lots of plant sterols and unadulterated fatty acids. This will help lower your dangerous oxidized lipids and speed you on your way to literally preventing and even reversing vascular disease.
Yours for better health and medical freedom,
Robert J. Rowen, MD

(NaturalNews) If the diagnosis of high cholesterol sounds like a death sentence to your ears, you may be the victim of cholesterol propaganda. It's not uncommon to believe that lower is better when it comes to cholesterol, but new research shows otherwise. In fact, a recent study in Norway says women with high cholesterol live longer and suffer from fewer heart attacks and strokes than those with lower cholesterol.
Can High Cholesterol Save Your Life?
Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology looked at 52,087 individuals between the ages of 20 and 74. After adjusting for factors like age, smoking and blood pressure, researchers found women with high cholesterol (more than 270 mg/dl) had a 28 percent lower mortality risk than women with low cholesterol (under 193 mg/dl). Risk for heart disease, cardiac arrest and stroke also declined as cholesterol levels rose.
The researchers involved in the study admit this contradicts commonly accepted beliefs about cholesterol. They say current guideline information is misleading because the role of cholesterol in heart disease is overestimated.
These results fly in the face of what most of us have been told about cholesterol. Our misconceptions about cholesterol may in fact be endangering countless lives. For instance, millions of people are prescribed statin drugs to lower their cholesterol levels, believing that this will save their lives. Not only do statin drugs come with a plethora of dangerous side effects, but now the very premise of their existence is also brought into question.
Our focus on lowering cholesterol to prevent heart disease and mortality is misplaced. It also fails to serve in the best interest of our health and wellness. In fact, the dogmatic belief that cholesterol must be lowered appears to best serve pharmaceutical companies, which profit from cholesterol-lowering drugs.
Better results will be achieved when we develop a more well-rounded focus on other risks for heart disease, which include stress, toxins, a sedentary lifestyle and a poor diet. As an added bonus, these factors aren't treated with dangerous pharmaceutical drugs, but with simple, healthful lifestyle changes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between parental age and the occurrence of non-syndromic oral clefts. The questions addressed if younger or older mothers and fathers have an increased risk of having a child with non-syndromic oral clefts.
DATA: Data from cohort studies, case-control, cross-sectional and prevalence studies in which the association between parental age and oral clefts was investigated were analysed. Only studies on oral clefts not associated with syndromes or other anomalies were considered.
SOURCES: An electronic literature search were conducted in Medline, Embase, LILACS, SciELO, SCOPUS and the Cochrane library databases to identify original research published until November 2010. References of the selected articles were also searched.
STUDY SELECTION: The initial database search identified 4623 citations and according to eligibility criteria 80 articles were submitted to quality assessment. In 13 studies measures of association could be extracted for meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that fathers forty years of age or older had a 58% higher probability of having a child with cleft palate compared to those aged between 20 and 39 years. The probability of mothers aged between 35 and 39 years having a child with cleft palate was 20% higher in comparison with those between 20 and 29 years-old, whilst for those aged 40 years or more this probability was 28% higher compared to those aged between 20 and 29 years. Mothers aged 40 years or over were 1.56 times more likely to have a newborn with cleft lip with or without palate compared to those aged between 20 and 29 years. No evidence of association between early maternal and paternal age with occurrence of oral clefts was observed.

The #1 organized blackout per editorial coverage in the USA?
The #1 organized blackout per editorial coverage in the USA?
by Walter Burien - CAFR1
10/24/11
Google is the established largest search engine in the world.
Google has a search feature to search for all "News" editorials and articles.
If a News article is out there from the New York Times, AP, Reuters, Chicago Tribune, LA Times, Miami Herald, etc., etc. it will pop up in a Google search. When searching under "News" using "Key Words" such as religion; government, politics; republican; federal; California, etc., millions of related "News" articles will appear.
So what key word is intentionally the #1 blackout per editorial coverage in the USA? A key word where an intentional void and vacuum is maintained in the general public's comprehension for not a cognitive thought? What can cause such a controlled effort to perpetuate such and definitive and pervasive blackout? There is only one reason something like this is possible: a few select players exercising what seems to be unlimited power backed up by the trillions of dollars involved in the hands of those few select players and their cooperatives "due to the money and power involved."
A key word that is as important to government as the Bible is to the Catholic church, or votes to a candidate running for public office, or the true state of the economy to every city, county, or state in this country?
The answer is the word: CAFR, local government's Annual Financial Report of which in effect is their Statement of Net Worth showing decades of accumulated wealth and not a selectively created budget report that is for "the year"
The following are results for Google key word "News" searches showing the number of article hits:
Bible -13,200 hits
Budget - 37,600 hits
"Budget deficit" - 10,700
Government - 35,900
"Government deficit" - 453
"Local Government" - 16,300
CAFR - 27 hits ( 24 of the hits were noting winning an award for CAFR format and no editorial decipher content) The remaining 3 hits gave no cognitive disclosure for thought.
"Comprehensive Annual Financial Report" - 41 hits ( 28 of the hits were noting winning an award for CAFR format and no editorial decipher content) The remaining 13 hits gave some minor cognitive disclosure for thought.
"Now here is a regular Google search for CAFR 4.8 million hits to show that the report is available "if" someone looks.
Collective" CAFR investments and income is in the trillions of dollars. The #1 talk; editorial; education; radio and TV discussion "in reality" should be the financial wealth held and income shown in all of our local government CAFRs.
In a state like California where in excess of 10,000 local government CAFR or AFR documents are produced each year from local government operations (city; county; enterprise; school district; township; financial) , the collective investment holdings exceed 13 trillion dollars and gross annual income as of 2007 from "all" government operations "in" California exceed 500 billion dollars. (LA County's CAFR as of 2010 shows an annual budget of 20.3 billion (page 24 "Primary government") which increased from 2007 when it was 17.5 billion) For 2012 they are looking at 23.5 billion an increase of 34% just from 2007 while many from the population bleeds and looses their homes during the same time period.
When an intentional void is created in the public's common comprehension for not "a cognitive thought" by the syndicated media; controlled education; and the political parties out of a very profitable symbiotic relationship due to the income and placement of the massive global investment capital involved, the public is "The Biggest Looser" as the inside track laughs it's a*s off all the way down to the bank.
What is the best way to keep someone from looking at your wealth and true income?
ANS: Ram it down their throat how broke you are and make them believe you want to borrow money from them as you actually increase your massive wealth held and brought in. With your promoted routine broadcasted to all they will stay clear of you as if you had a contagious disease and have a reflex void created to avoid and justify no looking to closely. Sound familiar?
Please share with your contacts so they will have a cognitive thought of true importance of this spinal cord and brain targeted issue of no equal.
Let the syndicated media and your political parties know "the jig is up" up big time, and then spotlight your talking head or local News editor with glowing praise who's article appears in the "Google News search" which brings forward a spotlight on government's true gross income and investment holdings. (beware of the "selective presentation" game) Really cheer on the ones that bring forward the "collective" totals. And if they bring forward the strategy of the TRF (Tax Retirement Fund) to phase out all taxation by making the public the "First Line Beneficiary" of the current global investment wealth by collective government, give em a big kiss for yourself am me also.
Those that maintain the "Silence is Golden" or obfuscation game let them know what well paid and trained dogs that they really are.
At least One-hundred million Americans need to see this post as soon as possible so help if you can, but please do not damage your copy and paste finger, I am a strong believer in not inflicting intentional or unintentional damage to your body.

________________________________________________________
I am here today to read this into the record. This is official notice of liability to each member of the Public Utility Commission (PUC) that Smart Meters are harmful to human health.
Smart Meters cause dangerous radio frequency microwave radiation There are no human health studies of people living in homes with Smart Meters. Public Health Physician Dr. David Carpenter says that exposure to elevated radiation for long periods of time is linked to cancer, damages the nervous system and has adverse reproductive effects.
Dr. David Carpenter Warns of Smart Meter Danger:
Smart Meters can also interfere with medical devices like pacemakers.
Additionally, high frequencies and transmitters contaminate 60 Hertz cycle electricity delivered to homes, which is called dirty electricity. Dr. Sam Milham, a physician and epidemiologist who specializes in occupational health has proven that dirty electricity causes cancer and heart disease.
Dr. Sam Milham on Smart Meters & Dirty Electricity:
http://www.sammilham.com/historical%20evidence.pdf
Banks of Smart Meters for apartments are even more dangerous.
This will serve as official notice of liability to each member that Smart Meters violate federal wiretapping laws by recording and storing databases of private activities without the knowledge and consent of the People who are monitored. Because Smart Meters can identify individual electrical devices, and record when they are operated, this is an invasion of the right to privacy and domestic security.
Smart Meters & Wiretapping:
The contract between the PUC and energy suppliers to implement Smart Meters is unlawful because of the lack of disclosure to the public, no equal consideration and it is an unconscionable act committed through deception.
http://ppjg.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/cpuc-and-pge-misinformation-misrepresentation-and-attempted-extortion/
You have been legally been put on notice, your immunity as a government official is nullified and you may be held personally responsible for illnesses resulting from Smart Meter radiation and dirty electricity, in addition to illegal wiretapping.
You are denied the consent of the People.
Smart Meters and any other radiation emitting towers or devices that cause health damage and violate wiretapping laws in California must be banned. I am demanding that you follow your Oath of Office.

ONLY ANSWER TO CANCER Excerpt from Dr Leonard Coldwells Books:
ONLY ANSWER TO CANCER
Excerpt from Dr Leonard Coldwells Books:
“The Only Answer to Cancer revised and how I cured my mother from liver cancer.
Also formally published in the World Wellness Report 2008 and other publications and speeches:
“I€˜m sorry youre struck with this problem. In my experience there is always hope as long as you dont give up, stay active and keep on fightingand as long as the government stays out of our way to optimum health!
In my experience the mandatory treatment of slaughter called surgery, burning called radiation, or poisoning called chemotherapy, leads to unbelievable horror, loss of quality of life, the massive spreading of the disease and most of all inhumane suffering and early death.
Its my opinion that the “chemical doctors” do not have a cure and in my opinion most people would be better off without treatment than with all of the cutting, poisoning or burning.
The promotion of early detection, saying it will save your life or breast is, in my experience, a blatant lie. What Ive witnessed is that early detection simply means the instant start of suffering due to mandatory treatments and the loss of quality of life, pain and suffering and an inhumane death.
Why do I know this? I cured my mother of liver cancer that was in a terminal state over 30 years ago without surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. Her healing regimen was completely natural and cost less than $3,000.
The law does not allow me to practice my techniques that have led me to cure patients within weeks and often days. The total costs were usually below $5,000 dollars and the main part of my plan revolves around healthy food, herbs and supplements.
I retired from working with patients for 2 reasons: One was the constant restrictions and attacks from the government, pharmaceutical companies, and the medical industry. Even in spite of having the opinion of leading experts and the highest cancer cure rate in the world! The second reason I retired was to be able to teach, research and educate, and to rid the world of cancer.
I made a promise to God when I was a child. I prayed to Him when my mother had another pain attack and seemed to die, that if He helped me to cure my mother, I will spend the rest of my life to help other mothers and fathers and their children. I would help them so they wouldnt have to go to the same kind of pain that I and my mom had to go through. He answered my prayers and that is why Im on this mission today.
Since all 7 siblings of my mom had cancer, as well as my grandmother dying of cancer, and even my father and stepfather dying of cancer I can tell you that Im sure no one else has the amount of experience with cancer that I have. I have seen it as family member, son and grandson from the start until it killed my relatives.
In my time I have seen over 35,000 patients and have had over 2.2 million seminar attendees that wrote to me, sending in their comments and life stories. I have over 7 million readers of my newsletters and reports. I am the doctor that has, in the opinion of leading experts, the highest cancer cure rate in the world. In fact, I am convinced I could cure at least 90% of all cancer patients if I had the legal platform to work with these people the “Dr Coldwell Way.” As long as the patient is willing and still able to do whatever it takes and has no surgery, chemotherapy or radiation, there is no reason Cancer cannot be cured in most people.
I am sure I could cure them within weeks or a few months. But since the law and the ones that make money on your suffering and even death, dont allow me to treat you the way I know would produce results, I legally cannot even tell you what to do or not to do. Thats how the medical profession and pharmaceutical industry protects their Trillion Dollar Cancer Industry. They “make politicians install laws that kill citizens or at least make them sick, and laws that make sure they cannot be cured. They can only be treated to more illness and eventually death by the medical profession with toxic, dangerous and murderous treatments.
Can you tell me why, when it is proven that Essiac herbs, vitamin B17, D and other supplements and herbs are curing cancer, why it is illegal to advertise that fact or sell these products for this cause? There is only one answer: power-hungry bribed politicians, the greedy medical profession, and the pharmaceutical companies dont really want you to be healthy or cured with some organic herbs, foods or supplements for a couple of hundred dollars. Theres no other reason! Im willing to debate and argue this in every LIVE media settingso they cannot cut and change the content before they broadcast it!
For 20 years now the Dr. Leonard Coldwell Foundation has a standing offer to the first medical doctor that can prove that he or she has a higher cancer cure rate than I have one million dollars. To this day, not a single doctor has tried to earn the million dollars.
I could fix the health care crisis in America within 4 year! But, sadly, no one is interested. The bodyguards of the Medical and Pharmaceutical profession, and the FTC and FDA will make sure you will never get the natural assistance and treatment that could help or even cure you in a very short amount of time. Therefore, the best chance you have it to educate yourself. Make educated decisions and take charge of your own health, life and future!
Since freedom of speech is at least partially still my rightbefore they find a way to steal this from us tooI can at least tell you what I would do if I were you:
1. I would do a 21 day full body and colon cleansing system from www.mybepure.com
2. Do the Cancer Protocol from awesomesupplements.com
2a. Medical Fact is that cancer cannot grow in and oxygen rich alkaline environment therefore I would always make sure that my body is slightly alkaline with a pH of 7.36. I would achieve this easily with the Acid-Alkaline Protocol from awesomesupplements.com that was created after my historical use for my patients.
2b. Very often a correlation between cancer and fungus / Candida overgrowth is mentioned in the medical world. To make sure I dont suffer from this Candida overgrowth I would do the Candida Remediation Protocol from awesomesupplements.com which was also created after the producer researched my historical use of protocols with my patients in the past.
3. I also would take Hydrosol silver from helpingamerica.com (and do their metal cleanse too!)
4. I would take vitamin B17
4.a I would use Baking Soda with real Maple Syrup and warm up one tea spoon of Baking Soda with 5 spoons full of Maple syrup.
5. I would take Essiac Capsules from awesomesupplements.com
6. I would eat, if I could afford it, only organic whole foods from greatwholefood.com and eat fresh organic salads, vegetables and fruit.
7. I would have as much sun as my skin can handle without getting burned. Sun does not cause cancer!
8. I would buy a cheap juicer such as the Jack Lalanne model and have a lot of fresh juice with a lot of greens added.
9. I would walk or exercise just a little every day. Or at least 2 minutes 3 times a week
10. I would eat a vegetarian all organic life food diet
11. I would take Flora-Zymes, Quint-Essence, vitamin E and cal-mag from awesomesupplements.com every day of my life.
**In severe cases I would add oxygen therapy and or 35% hydrogen peroxide therapy. I would take (but I dont encourage anyone else to do it!) 8 drops of 35% hydrogen peroxide in 8 ounces of Aloe juice for at least 35 days.
After doing all of this I would know I had done everything to address the physical causes of bad health.
Getting rid of the root cause of all disease! Lack of Energy which is usually caused by stress.
But I also know that the main cause of Cancer is mental and emotional stress. Its scientifically proven that all illnesses are 84% based on stress and only 16% based on physical elements. Therefore, I would know that I would have to uncover and eliminate the root cause of my personal health challenges to be able to get rid of the symptoms and physical malfunctions. I would have to actively apply the information in Instinct Based Medicine How to survive your illness and your doctor (see www.instinctbasedmedicine.com )
After doing all of this I would feel confident that I have done everything in my power to be healthy. I would then let Nature, or God, or whatever you call your higher power, do the rest.
Just a reminder: Nearly everybody in my family had cancer! And I dont have or ever will get cancer!
So the question is: Do you believe the ones that lose or kill about 97% of their cancer patients or the ones that cure cancer on a daily basis. I can provide you with names and hospitals around the world where cancer cures are a daily reality. You will find it in my next newsletters.

The male biological clock
The male biological clock

After 41 your chances of becoming a father ‘decline rapidly’, warn researchers
LONDON: It is not just women that have to worry about their biological clock. Male fertility declines with age – with even a year making a difference, researchers have warned. They say that after the age of 41, a man’s odds of fathering a child decline rapidly.
And after 45, those who haven’t started a family and want one should start doing something about it.
But with the likes of Des O’Connor having his fifth child at 72, and Rod Stewart becoming father for the eighth time at the age of 66, other experts said the finding should be taken with a pinch of salt.
The warning comes from a study of IVF patients in which the man’s sperm fertilised an egg from a donor.
In the context of the study, the use of donor eggs allowed the researchers to separate out the effect of the man’s age from that of the woman’s. The donor eggs all came from young, healthy women and so any differences in pregnancy rate must be due to the sperm.
And the difference was clear, with fertility declining by up to seven per cent with each extra year on a man’s age between 41 and 45. After that, it declined even more rapidly.
The average age of the men whose partners got treatment through IVF was 41.

The average age of the men whose partners got treatment through IVF was 41.
But the average age of those in which the IVF was unsuccessful was 45, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s annual conference heard.
The chances of pregnancy fell from 60 per cent at the age of 41 to just 35 per cent for the 45-year-olds.
Researcher Paula Fettback, of the Huntington Medicina Reproductiva clinic in Brazil, said: “Age counts.
“Men have a biological clock too. It is not the same as for women but they can’ t wait forever to have children.
“They have to think about having children, especially after 45.”
A second study presented at the conference backed up the warning.
There, fertility plummeted in male mice from a year old – equivalent to middle-age in people.
Fewer eggs were fertilised and fewer embryos grew long enough to be used in IVF.
Pregnancies took longer to occur and when they did, the miscarriage rate rocketed from zero using sperm from young animals, to over 60 per cent.
The researchers, from the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine, said they believed there would be ‘some parallel’ with men.
“We found an abrupt reproductive deterioration in mid-life, equivalent to humans in their 40s.”
Other studies have found that children of older fathers also run an increased risk of heart defects, autism, schizophrenia and epilepsy, and are almost twice as likely to die before adulthood.

Vitamin that is Better than Fluoride in Reducing Cavities Posted By Dr. Mercola October 24 2011
Vitamin that is Better than Fluoride in Reducing Cavities Posted By Dr. Mercola
October 24 2011
Story at-a-glance
Dental caries has been shown to be inversely related to total sun exposure, with those living in sunnier areas having about half as many cavities as those living in less sunny areas
Increasing you and your family’s vitamin D levels appear to be a much better option compared to drinking fluoridated water, as there are many additional health benefits of vitamin D, and a number of adverse effects of water fluoridation, including dental fluorosis and potential reduction in IQ
There are multiple connections between your oral health, heart disease, and vitamin D status, and higher vitamin D levels have been found to prevent health problems related to your mouth, heart, and cardiovascular system
Vitamin D may also play a crucial role in cancer. Grassroots Health is now implementing the world’s first cancer prevention project and study to evaluate vitamin D as a preventive strategy against breast cancer. Participants are being sought
By Dr. Mercola
Studies have linked geographical variations in dental health and tooth loss to sun exposure.
Dental caries has been shown to be inversely related to mean hours of sunlight per year, with people living in the sunny west having half as many cavities as those in the much less sunny northeast. As reported by the Vitamin D Council:
"There were also several studies reported on vitamin D and dental caries in the 1920s and 1930s. May Mellanby and coworkers in Sheffield, England, did studies on the role of vitamin D on teeth in the 1920s.
The first experiments were with dogs, where it was found that vitamin D stimulated the calcification of teeth. Subsequently, they studied the effect of vitamin D on dental caries in children, finding a beneficial effect.
Additional studies were conducted on children in New York regarding dental caries with respect to season, artificial ultraviolet-B (UVB) irradiance, and oral intake of vitamin D with the finding that it took 800 IU/day to prevent caries effectively."
Two proposed mechanisms causing this beneficial effect include:
•Vitamin D beneficially affects calcium metabolism, and
•Vitamin D, which is produced in your body in response to sunlight exposure, induces cathelicidin, an antimicrobial peptide, which attacks oral bacteria linked to dental caries
According to the Vitamin D Council:
"Use of vitamin D appears to be a better option for reducing dental caries than fluoridation of community water supplies, as there are many additional health benefits of vitamin D and a number of adverse effects of water fluoridation such as fluorosis (mottling) of teeth and bones. ... Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations around 30-40 ng/ml (75-100 nmol/L) should significantly reduce the formation of dental caries. (The average white American has a level near 25 ng/ml, while the average black American has a level near 16 ng/ml.)"
Oral Health, Heart Disease, and Vitamin D
As you probably know, many public water supplies around the US are fluoridated, allegedly to help prevent dental caries. However, there's overwhelming evidence showing that ingesting fluoride is NOT the way to protect your teeth. On the contrary, fluoride is a potent toxin, and over 40 percent of American children and teens are showing signs of fluoride overexposure in the form of dental fluorosis—unsightly yellow or brown spots or mottling on their teeth.
Fluoride consumption has also been linked to a long list of other health problems.
The idea that vitamin D may help protect against cavities is very interesting, and actually makes loads of sense since we already know it is necessary for bone health. Vitamin D also upregulates a specific gene that produces over 200 anti-microbial peptides, some of which work like broad-spectrum antibiotics, including cathelicidin that attacks oral bacteria.
It's also interesting to note the connections between oral health, heart health, and vitamin D status.
For example, gum disease increases your risk of several other serious diseases, including, pneumonia, lung disease, diabetes and stroke—and vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to an increased risk of all of these conditions! This is a beautiful illustration of the interdependency between seemingly disparate systems within your body.
Sun Exposure May Be Essential for Heart Health
The link between gum disease and heart disease may not be obvious, but chronic inflammation is a hallmark of both conditions and inflammation in your body plays a major role in the build-up of plaque in your arteries, which can lead to a heart attack. And vitamin D helps combat inflammation, as just mentioned.
Furthermore, according to research by Dr. Stephanie Seneff, the vitamin D produced in your skin in response to sun exposure will impact your sulfur status, which may also play a crucial role in heart disease, so there are many interrelated factors affecting each other, thereby raising or lowering your risk of a number of health problems.
So what does sun exposure have to do with heart health?
Your heart requires cholesterol sulfate for optimal function. When you are deficient in cholesterol sulfate (due to a lack of cholesterol in your body), your body tries to protect your heart by creating arterial plaque, because the platelets produce cholesterol sulfate in the plaque. Dr. Seneff believes that the mechanism we call "cardiovascular disease," of which arterial plaque is a hallmark, is actually your body's way to compensate for not having enough cholesterol sulfate.
Now, when you expose your skin to sunshine, your skin synthesizes vitamin D3 sulfate, which is a water soluble form of sulfur that can travel freely in your blood stream, making it readily available.
Oral vitamin D3, on the other hand, is unsulfated, and this form needs LDL (the so-called "bad" cholesterol) as a vehicle of transport. Her suspicion is that the simple oral non-sulfated form of vitamin D may not provide as much of the same heart-healthy benefits as the vitamin D created in your skin from sun exposure, because it cannot be converted to vitamin D sulfate, and therefore will not improve your sulfur status. This is yet another reason to really make a concerted effort to get ALL your vitamin D requirements from exposure to sunshine!
Your Vitamin D Level is Directly Related to Your Risk of Heart Disease
But that's not all. Dr. Carlos Camargo of Harvard University recently wrote an editorial about the growing number of studies that link low vitamin D levels to heart attack, heart failure, stroke, hypertension and diabetes. One recent study found that every 10 ng/ml lower blood vitamin D concentration resulted in a nine percent greater risk of death, and a 25 percent greater risk of heart attack.
As noted in Dr. Camargo's editorial, credit is due to the first man to discover the connection, an epidemiologist in New Zealand by the name of Professor Robert Scragg, who first noticed the association in 1981. His population-based case-control study found a strong inverse association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D level in the blood and risk for heart attack.
As reported by the Vitamin D Council, there are currently two large, population-based, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trials on the health effects of vitamin D supplements underway. One is at Harvard, which is looking at cancer and heart disease. The other is being done in New Zealand, and is focused on heart disease, infection and fractures. Unfortunately, the results from these studies are not expected to be available until 2017. Six years is a long time to sit around and wait for the results from these studies. I strongly encourage you NOT to wait and see. The evidence that optimal vitamin D levels are necessary for general health and disease prevention is overwhelming.
Vitamin D and Cancer
Two grassroots organizations are now focusing on vitamin D as a preventive measure for cancer. There are already over 800 studies supporting the theory that vitamin D may prevent a large percentage of several types of cancer, and I'm very pleased to see that this information is starting to gain foothold.
Vitamin D has a protective effect against cancer in several ways, including:
• Increasing the self-destruction of mutated cells (which, if allowed to replicate, could lead to cancer)
• Reducing the spread and reproduction of cancer cells
• Causing cells to become differentiated (cancer cells often lack differentiation)
• Reducing the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, which is a step in the transition of dormant tumors turning cancerous
The Vitamin D Council, a nonprofit educational corporation based in California, recently launched their "Vitamin D and Cancer" campaign, presenting 20 detailed summaries of the evidence. The summaries were prepared by epidemiologist Dr. William Grant, founder of the nonprofit organization, Sunlight, Nutrition and Health Research Center (SUNARC). He also serves as the Science Director for the Vitamin D Council. I highly recommend reviewing these summaries, which can be found here. (Just select the type of cancer you want to review from the listing on the left.)
According to the Vitamin D Council:
"Some researchers believe the link between vitamin D sufficiency and a decreased risk in cancer is promising. A randomized controlled trial found a 77 percent reduction in all-cancer incidence when the study group supplemented with 1,100 IU/day of vitamin D plus 1,450 mg/day calcium. Says Dr. Grant, "Based on various studies of UVB, vitamin D and cancer to date, it appears that global cancer burden can be reduced by 15-25 percent if everyone had vitamin D blood levels above 40 ng/ml."
Some of the facts presented in these summaries include:
1.Geographical studies have found reduced risk in mortality rates for 20 types of cancer in regions of higher solar UVB doses.
2.Observational studies have found that the risk of breast, colon, and rectal cancer fall as vitamin D blood levels rise at least up to 40 ng/mL (100 nmol/L).
3.Those with higher vitamin D blood levels at time of cancer diagnosis have nearly twice the survival rate of those with the lowest levels.
4.Higher UVB exposure early in life is associated with reduced risk of breast and prostate cancer.
World's First Breast Cancer Prevention Study Underway!
In addition to the Vitamin D Council's educational campaign, Grassroots Health is now in the process of initiating the world's first breast cancer prevention project and study, to investigate and evaluate vitamin D as a preventive strategy for breast cancer.
"We are looking now for some really serious funding to support that as a major research project," says Carole Baggerly, director and founder of Grassroots Health.
If you would like to sign up as a participant in this groundbreaking study, or make a donation to support this project, you can do so here. This project is only for women who are:

Make Sure You're NEVER Deficient in Vitamin D if You are Critically Ill
Dr. Paul Lee of the University of Queensland in Australia believes that people all over the world are needlessly dying because they have vitamin D deficiency. He believes severe immune dysfunction, bone hyper-resorption, blood poisoning, and hyper-inflammation in critically ill patients could all be resolved with sufficient vitamin D. He notes that the stress of surgery uses up tremendous amounts of vitamin D, and cites studies showing that death in the ICU and the CCU is two to three times higher for the vitamin D deficient.
According to Dr. Lee:
"Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent and has been associated with a diverse range of chronic medical conditions in the general population. In contrast, the prevalence, pathogenesis and significance of vitamin D deficiency have received little attention in acute medicine. Vitamin D deficiency is seldom considered and rarely corrected adequately, if at all, in critically ill patients.
Recent recognition of the extra-skeletal, pleiotropic actions of vitamin D in immunity, epithelial function and metabolic regulation may underlie the previously under-recognized contribution of vitamin D deficiency to typical co-morbidities in critically ill patients, including sepsis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome and metabolic dysfunction. Improved understanding of vitamin D metabolism and regulation in critical illness may allow therapeutic exploitation of vitamin D to improve outcome in critically ill patients."
This echoes previous findings that your vitamin D status is critical for overall health, prevention of disease, and for successful recuperation—whether you're recuperating from a case of the flu, from surgery, or even cancer treatment.
The Best Source of Vitamin D
Exposing your skin to sunlight is the best way to get vitamin D as this will also produce vitamin D3 sulfate, which I discussed earlier. As a general guideline, getting about 15 to 20 minutes of sun exposure a day, with at least 40 percent of your skin exposed, will boost the vitamin levels above 40 ng/ml in many. However, this is highly variable and dependent on a number of factors, including your skin color, location and altitude, for example. If you're able to get out in the sun for an adequate time period each day, your vitamin D levels should be naturally optimized.
If you can't get enough sun exposure during certain parts of the year, I advise using a safe tanning bed to allow your body to produce vitamin D naturally. Safe tanning beds have magnetic ballasts and produce less UVA than sunshine.
A third option is taking a high-quality vitamin D supplement. The most important thing to keep in mind if you opt for oral supplementation is to use natural vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) only. Do not use the synthetic and highly inferior vitamin D2. Unless you get a deep dark tan, it is wise to get your blood levels checked as that is the only way to know for certain you have reached therapeutic levels. To determine the appropriate dose, you need to get your vitamin D levels tested. Ideally, you'll want to be between 50-70 ng/ml. Based on recent research published by Grassroots Health from the D*Action study, the average adult needs to take 8,000 IU's of vitamin D per day in order to elevate their levels above 40 ng/ml, which they believe is the bare minimum for disease prevention.

Carole Baggerly on Vitamin D
October 24 2011
Story at-a-glance
Dental caries has been shown to be inversely related to total sun exposure, with those living in sunnier areas having about half as many cavities as those living in less sunny areas
Increasing you and your family’s vitamin D levels appear to be a much better option compared to drinking fluoridated water, as there are many additional health benefits of vitamin D, and a number of adverse effects of water fluoridation, including dental fluorosis and potential reduction in IQ
There are multiple connections between your oral health, heart disease, and vitamin D status, and higher vitamin D levels have been found to prevent health problems related to your mouth, heart, and cardiovascular system
Vitamin D may also play a crucial role in cancer. Grassroots Health is now implementing the world’s first cancer prevention project and study to evaluate vitamin D as a preventive strategy against breast cancer. Participants are being sought
By Dr. Mercola
Studies have linked geographical variations in dental health and tooth loss to sun exposure.
Dental caries has been shown to be inversely related to mean hours of sunlight per year, with people living in the sunny west having half as many cavities as those in the much less sunny northeast. As reported by the Vitamin D Council:
"There were also several studies reported on vitamin D and dental caries in the 1920s and 1930s. May Mellanby and coworkers in Sheffield, England, did studies on the role of vitamin D on teeth in the 1920s.
The first experiments were with dogs, where it was found that vitamin D stimulated the calcification of teeth. Subsequently, they studied the effect of vitamin D on dental caries in children, finding a beneficial effect.
Additional studies were conducted on children in New York regarding dental caries with respect to season, artificial ultraviolet-B (UVB) irradiance, and oral intake of vitamin D with the finding that it took 800 IU/day to prevent caries effectively."
Two proposed mechanisms causing this beneficial effect include:
•Vitamin D beneficially affects calcium metabolism, and
•Vitamin D, which is produced in your body in response to sunlight exposure, induces cathelicidin, an antimicrobial peptide, which attacks oral bacteria linked to dental caries
According to the Vitamin D Council:
"Use of vitamin D appears to be a better option for reducing dental caries than fluoridation of community water supplies, as there are many additional health benefits of vitamin D and a number of adverse effects of water fluoridation such as fluorosis (mottling) of teeth and bones. ... Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations around 30-40 ng/ml (75-100 nmol/L) should significantly reduce the formation of dental caries. (The average white American has a level near 25 ng/ml, while the average black American has a level near 16 ng/ml.)"
Oral Health, Heart Disease, and Vitamin D
As you probably know, many public water supplies around the US are fluoridated, allegedly to help prevent dental caries. However, there's overwhelming evidence showing that ingesting fluoride is NOT the way to protect your teeth. On the contrary, fluoride is a potent toxin, and over 40 percent of American children and teens are showing signs of fluoride overexposure in the form of dental fluorosis—unsightly yellow or brown spots or mottling on their teeth.
Fluoride consumption has also been linked to a long list of other health problems.
The idea that vitamin D may help protect against cavities is very interesting, and actually makes loads of sense since we already know it is necessary for bone health. Vitamin D also upregulates a specific gene that produces over 200 anti-microbial peptides, some of which work like broad-spectrum antibiotics, including cathelicidin that attacks oral bacteria.
It's also interesting to note the connections between oral health, heart health, and vitamin D status.
For example, gum disease increases your risk of several other serious diseases, including, pneumonia, lung disease, diabetes and stroke—and vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to an increased risk of all of these conditions! This is a beautiful illustration of the interdependency between seemingly disparate systems within your body.
Sun Exposure May Be Essential for Heart Health
The link between gum disease and heart disease may not be obvious, but chronic inflammation is a hallmark of both conditions and inflammation in your body plays a major role in the build-up of plaque in your arteries, which can lead to a heart attack. And vitamin D helps combat inflammation, as just mentioned.
Furthermore, according to research by Dr. Stephanie Seneff, the vitamin D produced in your skin in response to sun exposure will impact your sulfur status, which may also play a crucial role in heart disease, so there are many interrelated factors affecting each other, thereby raising or lowering your risk of a number of health problems.
So what does sun exposure have to do with heart health?
Your heart requires cholesterol sulfate for optimal function. When you are deficient in cholesterol sulfate (due to a lack of cholesterol in your body), your body tries to protect your heart by creating arterial plaque, because the platelets produce cholesterol sulfate in the plaque. Dr. Seneff believes that the mechanism we call "cardiovascular disease," of which arterial plaque is a hallmark, is actually your body's way to compensate for not having enough cholesterol sulfate.
Now, when you expose your skin to sunshine, your skin synthesizes vitamin D3 sulfate, which is a water soluble form of sulfur that can travel freely in your blood stream, making it readily available.
Oral vitamin D3, on the other hand, is unsulfated, and this form needs LDL (the so-called "bad" cholesterol) as a vehicle of transport. Her suspicion is that the simple oral non-sulfated form of vitamin D may not provide as much of the same heart-healthy benefits as the vitamin D created in your skin from sun exposure, because it cannot be converted to vitamin D sulfate, and therefore will not improve your sulfur status. This is yet another reason to really make a concerted effort to get ALL your vitamin D requirements from exposure to sunshine!
Your Vitamin D Level is Directly Related to Your Risk of Heart Disease
But that's not all. Dr. Carlos Camargo of Harvard University recently wrote an editorial about the growing number of studies that link low vitamin D levels to heart attack, heart failure, stroke, hypertension and diabetes. One recent study found that every 10 ng/ml lower blood vitamin D concentration resulted in a nine percent greater risk of death, and a 25 percent greater risk of heart attack.
As noted in Dr. Camargo's editorial, credit is due to the first man to discover the connection, an epidemiologist in New Zealand by the name of Professor Robert Scragg, who first noticed the association in 1981. His population-based case-control study found a strong inverse association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D level in the blood and risk for heart attack.
As reported by the Vitamin D Council, there are currently two large, population-based, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trials on the health effects of vitamin D supplements underway. One is at Harvard, which is looking at cancer and heart disease. The other is being done in New Zealand, and is focused on heart disease, infection and fractures. Unfortunately, the results from these studies are not expected to be available until 2017. Six years is a long time to sit around and wait for the results from these studies. I strongly encourage you NOT to wait and see. The evidence that optimal vitamin D levels are necessary for general health and disease prevention is overwhelming.
Vitamin D and Cancer
Two grassroots organizations are now focusing on vitamin D as a preventive measure for cancer. There are already over 800 studies supporting the theory that vitamin D may prevent a large percentage of several types of cancer, and I'm very pleased to see that this information is starting to gain foothold.
Vitamin D has a protective effect against cancer in several ways, including:
• Increasing the self-destruction of mutated cells (which, if allowed to replicate, could lead to cancer)
• Reducing the spread and reproduction of cancer cells
• Causing cells to become differentiated (cancer cells often lack differentiation)
• Reducing the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, which is a step in the transition of dormant tumors turning cancerous
The Vitamin D Council, a nonprofit educational corporation based in California, recently launched their "Vitamin D and Cancer" campaign, presenting 20 detailed summaries of the evidence. The summaries were prepared by epidemiologist Dr. William Grant, founder of the nonprofit organization, Sunlight, Nutrition and Health Research Center (SUNARC). He also serves as the Science Director for the Vitamin D Council. I highly recommend reviewing these summaries, which can be found here. (Just select the type of cancer you want to review from the listing on the left.)
According to the Vitamin D Council:
"Some researchers believe the link between vitamin D sufficiency and a decreased risk in cancer is promising. A randomized controlled trial found a 77 percent reduction in all-cancer incidence when the study group supplemented with 1,100 IU/day of vitamin D plus 1,450 mg/day calcium. Says Dr. Grant, "Based on various studies of UVB, vitamin D and cancer to date, it appears that global cancer burden can be reduced by 15-25 percent if everyone had vitamin D blood levels above 40 ng/ml."
Some of the facts presented in these summaries include:
1.Geographical studies have found reduced risk in mortality rates for 20 types of cancer in regions of higher solar UVB doses.
2.Observational studies have found that the risk of breast, colon, and rectal cancer fall as vitamin D blood levels rise at least up to 40 ng/mL (100 nmol/L).
3.Those with higher vitamin D blood levels at time of cancer diagnosis have nearly twice the survival rate of those with the lowest levels.
4.Higher UVB exposure early in life is associated with reduced risk of breast and prostate cancer.
World's First Breast Cancer Prevention Study Underway!
In addition to the Vitamin D Council's educational campaign, Grassroots Health is now in the process of initiating the world's first breast cancer prevention project and study, to investigate and evaluate vitamin D as a preventive strategy for breast cancer.
"We are looking now for some really serious funding to support that as a major research project," says Carole Baggerly, director and founder of Grassroots Health.
If you would like to sign up as a participant in this groundbreaking study, or make a donation to support this project, you can do so here. This project is only for women who are:
1.60 years of age and older
2.have no current cancer
3.are not currently being treated for cancer

PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THIS FAR AND WIDE….
PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THIS FAR AND WIDE….
WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!
The World’s Foremost Problem can be expressed in one short 10-word sentence:
AMERICA RULES OVER THE WORLD, BUT…. ZIONISM RULES OVER AMERICA!
When you understand this, 90% of what’s going on becomes automatically clear. Sure, you might say, “it’s not be all that clear-cut”. Granted: it’s not just “America” and its puppet Obamas and Bushes, but also the UK and its puppet Camerons and Blairs, France, Italy and Spain with their puppet Sarkozys, Berlusconis and Rodriguez Zapateros…, and most of the rest of the world including my own country, Argentina, with its despicable Menems, Alfonsins, Kirchners and Cavallos…
Their embedded elites use y control “NATO” and the “UN” for their own agendas and against all of us.
They just completed the destruction of Libya in order so Exxon, BP, Total and ENI can steal its oil and its gold (also terminating Ghaddafi’s Gold Dinar Currency project). The US/UK/France/NATO destroyed Libya by supporting the worst local CIA-trained terrorists and thugs, who murdered Libyan leader Muamar Ghaddafi, his sons, grandchildren and supporters.
All honest Americans, British and Europeans should watch this 12 second CBS News video clip showing US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s reaction last Thursday 20th October when she learned that Ghaddafi had just been murdered by those NATO-supported terrorists. In a rapture of joy, she exclaims “We Came, We Saw, He Died!” and then blurts out her coarse laughter.
A TRUE IMAGE OF THE WHORE OF BABYLON!
Just watch and judge for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgcd1ghag5Y&feature=player_embedded
So, AMERICA MUST WAKE UP!!! And the rest of us must help make sure AMERICA WAKES UP….
AMERICA: YOU ARE BEING DEVOURED BY ZIONISTS CRIMINALS EMBEDDED IN YOUR BANKING SYSTEM, YOUR MEDIA, YOUR GOVERNMENT, YOUR CORPORATE OVERWORLD, YOUR THINK-TANKS, YOUR ACADEMIA, AT ALL LEVELS OF POWER.
This is no secret. The Zionist names are there for all to see: Bernanke, the Goldman Sachs boys, Wolfowitz, Perle, Kissinger, Feith, Blitzer, Murdoch, Rubin, Summers, Wiesel, Rosenthal, AIPAC, American Jewish Congress, Wall Street, Greenberg, CUFI (Christians United For Israel), Obama, Biden, Madoff, Lieberman, Bush, Cheney, Zuckeman, Clinton…. The List of the Zionist Bunch just goes on and on and on…. The writing is on the wall for all to see, but Americans continue to live their lives with eyes wide shut…
There’s little time left. We all know who’s next on the Zionist Destruction Agenda: Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Korea, the whole global financial system. We had better stop this madness before it stops life on our planet.
Libyan leader Muamar Ghaddafi’s murder and that of his family by these Zionist supported terrorists is a blatant example of top level terrorism emanating from London, Paris, New York, Tel-Aviv and Washington. Here’s an brief explanation: http://rt.com/news/europe-usa-libya-gaddafi-425/
THE ZIONIST MODEL FOR NATIONAL DESTRUCTION
Today, all nations have been placed on notice. Today it’s Ghaddafi, tomorrow it can be anybody anywhere, or everybody everywhere…
The Zionist Model for National Destruction uses Orwellian Newspeak and works something like this:
1. The Global Power Mafia start by targeting a country ripe for “Regime Change” and brand it a “Rogue State”
2. Then, they arm, train, finance local terrorists through CIA, MI6, Mossad, Drug Cartels and call them “Freedom Fighters”
3. Then, they stage mock UN Security Council Resolutions that rain death and destruction upon millions of civilians and they call it “UN sanctions to protect civilians”.
4. Then, they spread flagrant lies through their media monopolies and paid journalists, and call it “International Community’s concern expressed by the Western Media”.
5. Then, they invade and control the target country and call it ”Liberation” (poor Libya is in this stage right now)
6. Then, when the target country falls fully under their control, they impose “The kind of democracy we want to see” (as Hillary Clinton said of Egypt on 22-March-2011)
7. Finally, they steal appetizing oil reserves and all resources and call it “Foreign Investment and Reconstruction”
8. Their keynotes are: Force and Hypocrisy, used to destroy whole countries in the name of “freedom”, “democracy”, “human rights” and “free trade”. They use utmost force and violence to achieve their ends.
9. Their Elders described their blueprint for world power many, many decades ago in a hoary manuscript…
“What did you say…? That you don’t want to be liberated and democratized?” “Then take this Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Hanoi, Berlin, Dresden, Bagdad, and Basra…” “Take that Tokyo, Gaza, Kabul, Pakistan, Tripoli, Belgrade, Egypt, El Salvador and Grenada…” “And that, Panama, Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Somalia, Africa…”
Always bombing people to smithereens… Of course, always in the name of “freedom”, “democracy”, “human rights” and “free trade”.
AMERICA: WAKE UP!!!
FOR YOUR OWN GOOD AND THAT OF THE REST OF THE WORLD.
AS FOR THE REST OF US, LET’S MAKE SURE WE HELP AMERICA AND ITS ALLIES WAKE UP!!!
