Climate Film Depicts Children Assassinated For Not Reducing Carbon Footprint 011010top2

RELATED: Climate Cult Indoctrinating Our Kids With Depraved Death Wish

UPDATE: The 10:10 Global organization has been forced to remove the video from their website and issue an apology. Given the fact that the clip was pulled hours after it first appeared and yet involved the contribution of dozens of actors and film professionals, the backlash must have been instantaneous and overwhelming. Too late for apologies – the damage has already been done. This is one of the final nails in the coffin of the increasingly desperate, threatening and unscientific global warming propaganda machine.

A new climate change infomercial released by a prominent global warming activist organization depicts children being assassinated for not reducing their carbon footprint, as AGW skeptics are grotesquely blown up with innards and blood splattering everywhere, a frightening reminder of the fact that the environmental agenda is merely a veil for a hideous religion of death, and that the vehemently discredited and increasingly desperate global warming movement is in the last death throws of its existence.

Entitled “No Pressure,” the clip begins by showing a teacher brainwashing children about CO2 emissions, before blowing up two kids who do not go along with the mantra and refuse to lower their “carbon footprint”.

The video continues in the same vein, as climate skeptics are liquidated and their bodies horribly ripped apart for having the temerity to hold a different viewpoint, in scenes that wouldn’t look out of place in the most stomach-churning horror movie.

Watch the clip.

Stunned by the massive backlash the video has generated in just the first few hours of its release, the organization behind the stunt, 10:10 Global (email them), pulled the clip from their own website. “Sorry, we’ve taken this video down for now. More info coming very soon,” reads the text on the page where the video formerly appeared.

This video represents one of the last major death throws of the global warming movement. The sheer level of desperation, vitriol and idiocy contained in the four minute clip is indicative of an ideological group who are losing the scientific debate and are therefore forced to resort to crass and vile propaganda in a bid to shove their discredited message down people’s throats.

“What were they thinking? They weren’t, because this is going to have the exact opposite effect they intended it to have. I don’t have words to describe my disgust with the video,” wrote prominent climate change skeptic Anthony Watts.

“This is hate speech, pure and simple. It legitimizes almost any action against or characterization of those who do not agree with the most hysterical version of Catastrophic and Cataclysmic Climate Change–shoot ‘em all and let God sort ‘em out,” writes Thomas Fuller.

Using ten-year-old kids as both props and victims is a particularly nice touch.

When DDB created an ad for the WWF showing planes crashing into the World Trade Center as an advertisement asking for support for green activism, it was grotesque, tasteless and an insult to all who suffered losses on September 11th, 2001. It would have been impossible to imagine a cruder, less sensitive call to green action.

Until now.

For any of those on the activist side who wonder why skeptics (and lukewarmers) don’t trust the communications put forward by their team, they might wonder just how much any sign of reason might be contaminated by the stench from garbage like this.

Czech Physicist Luboš Motl goes even further in his condemnation of the clip, unloading on X-files actress Gillian Anderson who provided the voiceover for the video. “is she really such a disgusting bloody Nazi bitch?” he asks.

It was the choice of the 10:10 movement to openly promote genocide. They are not just promoting it….they are planning it. They are genuinely planning ways how to reduce the global CO2 emissions by 10% a year. And indeed, genocide similar to what they present in the video is the only plausible way how something of the sort may be achieved.

The CIA, FBI, and others should go after the neck of the inhuman scum behind the 10:10 movement and those who harbor them. These people are a genuine threat not only for your well-being but for your health (or life), too.

“James Lee killed himself too early: he would have surely been delighted by this film,” adds Motl, referring to the gunman who entered a Discovery Channel building with explosives and took hostages in a protest against lack of attention on global warming before being killed by police.

Like the characters in the video, Lee expressed his penchant for killing babies and children in an online screed posted before his planned rampage.

* A d v e r t i s e m e n t

The 10:10 Global organization’s sick and twisted vision of murdering climate skeptics and indeed anyone who refuses to adopt their belief system is one shared by the vast majority of prominent climate change alarmists.

As we have exhaustively documented, the global warming movement is merely a front for the religion of death – neo-eugenics – and the agenda to impose draconian population control measures and eco-fascism in the name of saving the earth.

Leaders of this new cult include people like Finnish environmentalist guru Pentti Linkola, who has called for climate change deniers be “re-educated” in eco-gulags and that the vast majority of humans be killed with the rest enslaved and controlled by a green police state, with people forcibly sterilized, cars confiscated and travel restricted to members of the elite.

Linkola would feverishly enjoy using the red button depicted in the climate ad to liquidate skeptics, since he once observed that another world war would be “a happy occasion for the planet” because it would eradicate tens of millions of people.

As we have documented, although not going quite as far as Linkola, the eco-fascist movement is attracting prominent advocates, including James Lovelock, the creator of the Gaia hypothesis. Lovelock told the Guardian earlier this year that “democracy must be put on hold” to combat global warming and that “a few people with authority” should be allowed to run the planet.

This sentiment was echoed by author and environmentalist Keith Farnish, who in a recent book called for acts of sabotage and environmental terrorism in blowing up dams and demolishing cities in order to return the planet to the agrarian age. Prominent NASA global warming alarmist and Al Gore ally Dr. James Hansen endorsed Farnish’s book.

Another prominent figure in the climate change debate who exemplifies the violent and death-obsessed belief system of the movement is Dr. Eric R. Pianka, an American biologist based at the University of Texas in Austin. During a speech to the Texas Academy of Science in March 2006, Pianka advocated the need to exterminate 90% of the world’s population through the airborne ebola virus. The reaction from scores of top scientists and professors in attendance was not one of shock or revulsion – they stood and applauded Pianka’s call for mass genocide.

The current White House science czar John P. Holdren also advocates the most obscenely dictatorial, eco-fascist, and inhumane practices in the name of environmentalism. In his 1977 Ecoscience textbook, Holdren calls for a “planetary regime” to carry out forced abortions and mandatory sterilization procedures, as well as drugging the water supply, in an effort to cull the human surplus.

Given that these are the individuals at the forefront of the environmental movement, is it any surprise that we are now seeing their talking points appear in depraved and debauched infomercials like the 10:10 Global film, which openly promotes the idea of a “final solution” for dissenters who refuse to be brainwashed by the climate cult?

This movie proves beyond all doubt that the AGW alarmists have well and truly lost any rational scientific debate as to the causes of climate change and have just resorted to barbarous veiled threats about mutilating and killing anyone who disagrees with them.

Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad)

Although the organization behind this film hoped to mark down the 10th of October as a date on which their eco-fascist message would be widely broadcast and swallowed whole, as a direct result of the vulgar and frightening tone of this movie, all they’ve actually achieved is to plant the seed of their own destruction, and a guarantee that 10:10 will go down as another nail in the coffin of global warming alarmism.

The 7 Most Dangerous Lies Your Doctor's Telling You (even if he doesn't know it)...

The 7 Most Dangerous Lies Your Doctor's Telling You
(even if he doesn't know it)...
by Dr. Jenny Thompson, Health Sciences Institute

In the next 22 minutes, 100 Americans will die under the care of sincere conventional MDs. But during that time, you can discover the safe, natural, yet virtually unknown alternatives that could have saved 95 of them...
And one of them might be YOU.
Save yourself a lot of pain, money-and maybe even your own life.
Get the real story here, right now. . .
In the next few minutes, you could LOSE ALL FEAR of...
• Heart Disease/Stroke
• Cancer
• High Blood Pressure
• Diabetes
• Arthritis
• Obesity
• Alzheimer's
There's a simple first step to defeating all of these killers and more: Stop listening to the lies of mainstream medicine
Dear Misled Friend,
They're lying to you.
Your doctors, the drug companies, your HMO...
They're all perpetuating dangerous medical myths, and for all the wrong reasons. Sometimes it's to cut costs. Sometimes it's to sell more drugs. And sometimes it's just because they don't know any better. Think about it: Just because a doctor doesn't know he's wrong doesn't mean it can't kill you.
In fact, in the next 22 minutes, 100 people just like you across America will have died from the 7 most dangerous lies the mainstream medical establishment tells to patients every day. They aren't just 'little white lies,' either-they involve big-league killers like cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer's and more...
You may have even already been told one or more of these 'killer' lies yourself!
But even if you have, there's no reason you have to succumb to it. If you keep reading, you'll discover these '7 deadly lies' of mainstream medicine-straight from the archives of the Health Sciences Institute (HSI), the one health organization that can save you from the fate so many of your misled neighbors have succumbed to because of these lies...
LIE #1
'Chemo and radiation are your best hope.'
'Your tests are showing that the cancer has metastasized to your lymph nodes.'
I'm going to have to start you on chemotherapy and radiation this week...'
I desperately hope you will never hear these words. We work night and day to make sure you'll have every weapon you need to stay cancer-free for the rest of your life. And even if you were to discover tomorrow morning that you already have cancer, you could still get well simply and naturally-without drugs, radiation, or chemotherapy. We've heard reports of success from our members all over the world. There are literally dozens of methods of knocking cancer out of your system...
The problem is that your doctor doesn't know about them. He's hopelessly stuck with the outdated cancer treatments he learned in medical school-many of which are now proven NOT TO WORK. But only a small sliver of the medical community knows the REAL CURES. You are now about to discover what may be the most remarkable cure of them all.
An 86% Cure Rate for
Hopeless Cancer Patients
In 1999, a leading doctor in cancer treatment was sought out by a number of cancer patients who were so far gone that their bodies weren't responding to any of the standard therapies. Because they were classified as 'untreatable,' he decided to give them a new therapy that showed promise-a non-sugar component of a glycoside group called AGS.
Five years later, all of these patients were supposed to be dead, but 86% of them were still alive and kicking. So we know AGS works!
Since then, he has been seeing more successes, and his biopsy technicians are rubbing their eyes in disbelief at how fast it works.
The 24-Hour Miracle
It kills cancer cells in one day. Researchers have used AGS on deadly melanoma tumors, and cancer cell death comes at high speed-reported results have been in as little as 24 hours. Remarkable, huh? No, it's stupendous. Imagine: If you were diagnosed with cancer next Tuesday, wouldn't it be terrific to find out on Wednesday that it's definitely going away?
AGS shuts down tumors without dissolving them chemically. One of the hottest fields in cancer research is the tactic of 'starving' tumors to death by shutting off their blood supply-a gentle solution that beats chemotherapy by a mile and a half. Researchers used AGS on cancer cells that had spread to patients' lungs (once it's there, it usually goes everywhere), and incredibly, it shrank the lung tumors and stopped the disease in its tracks!
It beats even the new super-cancers. Here's the dirty little secret of chemo: It's rapidly creating new kinds of cancer that don't respond to conventional treatment at all. Just as germs become resistant to antibiotics, these new cancers are multiple-drug resistant. Near-frantic authorities are predicting four million people worldwide will soon die of these super-cancers. But insiders at a biotech firm investigating AGS recently leaked the incredible news that AGS has also been found to be effective in drug-resistant cancers. If the medical establishment would only wise up and get behind AGS, they could save three times more lives than have been lost in all the wars in U.S. history combined.
It has zero side effects. You've seen women lose every strand of their beautiful hair. That's because chemo and radiation attack growing cells, hair follicles being the first target. You've seen patients choose to die rather than continue to face the terror of nauseating treatments. But all this could be over with. Tests of AGS have concluded that it is non-toxic and carries with it no adverse effects. If you're quick on the trigger, you've spotted the meaning of this: AGS is so gentle that you can start taking it regularly as a preventive, to keep yourself cancer-free forever.
Hard to believe, but new studies are starting to show that AGS works on colon, lung, ovarian, kidney, and brain cancers. And another physician, Dr. Paul Ling Tai, is now seeing amazing results in patients with the deadliest cancer of all: Pancreatic.
The Bad News, the Good News
A prominent biotech firm (I can't mention the name) is pulling out all the stops to develop a drug based on AGS. But first, they have to take AGS apart molecule by molecule, and then reconstruct the main ingredients artificially so they can patent it. After that comes the maddening, slow approval process. In a decade, it might be in the pharmacy.
You'll find out more cancer cures like this one in your free bonus collection, The 50 Very Best Solutions to the Worst Health Problems of Today. Keep reading and you'll get the real, original AGS-at a fraction of the cost you'll pay for the drug version once it's even available!
LIE #2
'Your heart's a ticking time bomb...'
'You can't just walk out of here. Why, you're a ticking time bomb! You could have a heart attack in the parking lot before you even reach your car. I'm scheduling you for a bypass operation first thing in the morning...'
That's the famous 'time bomb' speech that has been used so successfully on thousands of people-few of whom actually needed any kind of operation. Some doctors aren't this aggressive. They give you a kinder, gentler version of the speech:
'You could go at any time if you're not careful. But we can manage your condition pretty easily with medication. I'm putting you on a daily dose of...'
Of course, 'managing' your condition isn't even remotely like curing it. If you knuckle under to this advice, you'll be taking Lipitor, Mevacor, Zocor, Lescol, Crestor, Advicor, Coumadin, aspirin, or various prostaglandins for the rest of your life. But the speech doesn't mention that, does it?
But in just a minute, I'll show you a dozen ways of actually curing your problem with cholesterol or high blood pressure. The fastest, cheapest, and most
powerful is what I call...
The 44-cent Preventive for Dropping Dead
Most of the medical profession is in distress about cardiovascular disease because they have no good solutions for it. That's why, over the next 20 to 30 years, hundreds of people you've met will die of myocardial infarctions, strokes, and so forth. The victims have something in common-they all believe anything they hear from someone in a white lab coat.
You, however, aren't one of these people. Just follow through on the simple information that follows and your blood vessels can stay open and flowing like the Nile. Best of all, you'll do this without drugs or their dreaded side effects. The solution to blood clots is a food, an inexpensive Asian food (also available in pill form). If you can afford 44 cents a day, you've just added a lot of healthy years to your life.
How the University of Chicago is Saving Millions with a Japanese Delicacy
A researcher at University of Chicago's Medical School has discovered that an extremely inexpensive natural food is more effective at healing and preventing heart disease and strokes than the best medical treatments costing $20,000 per dose.
Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi found that a traditional Japanese dish made from fermented soybeans dissolves blood clots with unmatched speed. He identified an enzyme in the cheese-like food that prevents heart attacks, strokes, and angina (plus plain old-fashioned senility) without any of the horrid side effects of drugs. (If a clot goes to your brain, you have a stroke; if it goes to your heart, you have a heart attack.)
To his great surprise, he found that when he put one drop of this food onto a blood clot in his lab, it dissolved the entire clot in only 18 hours. That's a stark contrast to the $20,000 substance (Urokinase), which fizzles out quickly and has a half-life of just 20 minutes at best.
Proven for You and Fido, Too
This incredible edible is not just a laboratory wonder. Get the latest on how well it works in the real world.
Researchers began with animal studies. In a single-blind study on male dogs with blood clots, a single serving dissolved the clots completely in five hours! After 18 hours, the clots in the dogs that got a placebo were as big as ever.
Then they tried rats, the soy derivative bested plasmin, the natural clot-fighting substance you have in your own arteries, by four times over.
In human studies, it was again a success: It cut in half the time required for the subjects' bodies to dissolve clots. That means your blood approaches the ideal condition quite rapidly.
No Side Effects Here
Instead of side effects, like drugs, this all-natural cure typically furnishes a bouquet of side benefits:
• Stimulates your body to produce more of its own clot-dissolving plasmin. In contrast, most drugs weaken your body's ability to fight its own battles.
• Lowers blood pressure. In human tests, blood pressure fell 10% in four days.
• May ward off osteoporosis.
• Proven to combat senility.
• Works strongly to prevent heart attacks and strokes-with just one small 100-milligram capsule per day.
• Has a 100% safety record. Unlike the commonly prescribed drug Coumadin, it won't make your blood too thin, no matter how much of it you eat.
Potent But Fun
This isn't a novelty or a lightweight remedy. In fact, one noted naturopathic doctor says that this product represents the most exciting new development and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Many of his patients had tried everything else, even bypass surgery-they came to him as a last resort to stay alive.
Eating this cure-all is nothing like taking a drug. If you have a taste for Asian food, you'll enjoy it. (Try it with hot mustard.) A dried variety is even served now by Japan Airlines with in-flight meals and as a snack with beer.
Saving your life was never so simple!

LIE #3
'It's just a normal
part of aging...'
'There's nothing you can do about your (insert mainstream-baffling medical problem here). You'll just have to learn to live with it...'
The best weapon for fighting this kind of medical incompetence is your coat: When you hear such nonsense, grab it and run. Instead, I'd like to tell you about...
The 160-year-old Rat, the 400-year-old Caterpillar, and Your 130th Birthday Party
Yes, modern science can actually make certain species live to these ages, at least in 'animal years'-while remaining in great health. In fact, scientists have gotten a few roundworms past the 500-year mark. Regular Methuselahs!
No one, of course, wants to live an extra 40 years in a wheelchair, wheezing and unable to add 2 + 2. But that's not what they're finding in experiments on animals. We're finding we can extend middle age, not old age. We're making it possible to keep playing golf and tennis, not to keep driving ourselves to the proctologist's office.
Just from current trends, your grandchildren will likely have an average life expectancy of 100 years. But that doesn't begin to take into account the incredible advances you'll soon be learning about in your FREE collection of The 50 Very Best Solutions to the Worst Health Problems of Today. It's just one of the 9 anti-aging weapons you'll get if you follow my advice below. And here's the biggest one right now...
The Granddaddy of All Hormones
There is wide and growing agreement among both conventional and alternative doctors that one hormone is the golden key-the magic mechanism that runs your biological clock and drives all your body systems like nitro-methane propels a top-fuel dragster. Can you guess what it is?
It's not melatonin. Take melatonin, you live longer. It's that simple, and many studies have proven it. Yet melatonin is not the master key.
It's not DHEA. By volume, it's the main hormone in your body. Yet by age 80, you'll have just 5% of the amount you had at 20. That's not enough. What do people with cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and Alzheimer's all have in common? Low levels of DHEA in their blood. Still, DHEA is far less of a variable in your longevity than the key hormone below.
It's not testosterone, thymosin, pregnenolone, and other helpful hormones. They all take a back seat to...
HGH
In case you're new to natural medicine, that's Human Growth Hormone, and it's a blockbuster. For power and sheer longevity, nothing even comes close.
In the classic 1990 study (reported in the New England Journal of Medicine), Daniel Rudman, M.D., gave HGH to 21 men between 61 and 81 years old. The average man gained 8.8% in lean muscle (without any extra exercise) and lost 14.4% in fat.
In addition, they had new interest in sex (and with better performance), thicker skin, and lots of other differences. Dr. Rudman summarized the subjects' improvements as equivalent in magnitude to the changes incurred during 10 to 20 years of aging. One subject said, 'I get up and look in the mirror in the morning, and there's a 35-year-old man staring back at me!'
Sadly, though, HGH costs $10,000 to $30,000 a year for the injections.
50-Something Forever
Yes, with HGH, a comfortable, vigorous life at 120 is now in sight. Soon, people will live to be 150 or more...
But how? Aren't the costs too high for ordinary budgets?
It doesn't have to be - not if you avail yourself to the incredible health resource I'm about to introduce you to. They have an effective, yet low-cost solution - a specific solution based on one encouraging medical fact: Your faithful pituitary gland is still making plenty of HGH and will likely continue to do so for the rest of your life.
In 1997, new ground was plowed when a myth-shattering report was presented to the American College for Advancement in Medicine by Drs. James Jamieson and L.E. Dorman. They announced their findings that the pituitary continues to produce plenty of HGH well into a person's 70s and 80s. That means we wouldn't need expensive injections if only we could find a way to coax all that perfectly good HGH out of its hiding place in the middle of our brains.
In other words, you've likely got plenty of HGH stacked up in your pituitary gland. It's just not being excreted into your bloodstream. By age 65, only 15% to 20% of it gets out (compared to what got out when you were 25).
That Jamieson-Dorman report was a loud sound of opportunity knocking on the minds of lots of medical pioneers. And did they ever answer the door! In a short time, dozens of formulations hit the market, each promising to make the pituitary cough up its hidden store of HGH on a daily basis...
Only one problem: They don't all work. In fact, a lot of them don't work, to put it kindly.
But you'll know which ones do, if you keep reading. The best we've found here at HSI is a formula sold out of Oregon in the form of effervescent tablets. It was tested on 36 subjects and found to exceed the benefits of HGH injection treatments! Without any side effects.
Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz, and They Lost 10 to 20 Years!
Some doctors who are prescribing the Oregon formula claim it's 3 to 4 times more effective than human growth hormone itself. And the remarkable thing is that it doesn't contain one molecule of HGH; it's simply a clever blend of proteins, botanical extracts, amino acids, and other pituitary-kicking ingredients.
In the test, all subjects had more energy, endurance, and muscle (with less fat) after just 4 weeks. After just 8 weeks, they reported new hair growth, a restoration of former hair color, and improved skin texture, among other things. Further testing showed reduced LDL cholesterol, sharper vision, improved memory, and better sex. Still with no side effects.
And if you're as skeptical as I am about taking things that could mess up your body long term, you'll be happy to know that whereas HGH shots eventually make your pituitary lazy and reduce its output, the Oregon formula actually increases your own natural production of HGH.
Respond now and get it in your FREE collection of The 50 Very Best Solutions to the Worst Health Problems of Today, concise reports on exactly how you can roll back your calendar to better days-and learn to really 'live in the past!' You'll also discover the dedicated group who's making this formula available to thousands. You could be one of them...

'You have to start on insulin right away...'
'I'm sorry, but your hypoglycemia has blown up into full diabetes, and there's no cure for that. You're going to have to start on daily injections of insulin, or you're looking at kidney failure, blindness, stroke, or amputations...'
The diabetes epidemic has snuck up on us and become the sixth-leading cause of U.S. deaths: Over 200,000 in 2002. And it's only getting worse.
Are you between 40 and 74? Then there's a 30% chance you're already diabetic or pre-diabetic. If a 30% risk doesn't disturb you, check your pulse. If you eat like an average American, chances are 8% that you already have full-blown diabetes-and about 40% that you're pre-diabetic...and barreling full speed down the highway to sugar hell.
Unfortunately, you have a lot of company: 20.8 million fellow Americans with diabetes. Also, the government estimates that 41 million Americans have pre-diabetes, meaning blood sugar high enough to dramatically increase their risk of getting the real thing in 5 to 10 years. And according to Dr. Francine Kaufman, past president of the American Diabetes Association, most of these people have no idea they're at risk.
There Is a Way Out
Yes, a strict diet of veggies would keep you free from diabetes.
But you don't have to go to that extreme. Unknown to the public and most doctors, there are proven plant nutrients you can take in pill form that maintain blood sugar at levels close to the ideal-even if you sometimes fall off the sugar 'wagon.'
After considerable research-wading through countless scientific papers, home remedy reports, and testimonials-HSI's group of dedicated health pioneers (you'll meet them in a minute) has found a bouquet of 4 herbal and plant extracts that does the impossible. It not only keeps your blood sugar in check (as drugs do), it actually helps your body rebuild the organs that control your blood sugar.
Do you buckle up?
That's good. But what if I told you that your chances of dying from diabetes are 4.7 times higher than dying in a car crash.
Four Miracles in One
The four are fenugreek, gymnema sylvestre, konjac mannan, and the nopal cactus.
In the right proportions, they work together like a dream. As one physician reported to me, this mix produced results that doctors have not seen before, even with hard-core drugs. For instance, one 56-year-old patient in Indiana had scored 9.0 on the standard A1C diabetes test (severely diabetic). After just 6 weeks on this proprietary blend of herbals and cactus, she scored 5.7 (under 6 is considered healthy) and got off insulin for the first time in 10 years. Ask any diabetic: That's terrific!
It's Out of Hand!
Individually, each of these 4 ingredients shows good results. (Notably, one of them has been found to actually regenerate cells in the pancreas.) The literature abounds with reductions in blood sugar by averages like 30%, 54%, 52%, 53%, 84%, etc. But acting together, they do even better. Six months of testing on humans showed that in almost every case, blood sugar dropped into the normal range-without side effects.
One test subject, for example, saw his blood sugar fall 500 points in only 2 weeks. This 'cactus cocktail' yields similar dramatic declines in blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and other key indicators. Unlike a pharmaceutical drug, it's very body-friendly stuff!

'Only a calcium channel blocker can control your high blood pressure...'
'You're 135 over 95, which puts you in dangerous territory. But we can bring that right down with a calcium channel blocker...'
High Blood Pressure! Flaky Memory! Saggy Skin! Hard Arteries! Brittle bones! What's Going on Here?
If you have 4 or 5 of these problems, it may not be your heart at all-you probably have a calcium deficiency. How is that possible? After all, you eat the right food. And you take extra calcium...
Fine. But your precious calcium isn't tooling around in your bloodstream like it's supposed to. Instead, it takes the first off-ramp it finds...and buries itself into your artery walls and muscle cells. Millions and millions of calcium ions jam into those cells as if they were in a phone-booth-stuffing contest. So after 40 years of leaking calcium:
• Your calcium-logged cells are putting increased pressure on surrounding tissues, especially your arteries. This squeeze on your arteries begins to hike your blood pressure.
• Your capillaries stiffen and lose their ability to pass enough blood. Little bags appear below your eyes. Wrinkles sprout here and there. Varicose veins pop up.
• Your blood-brain barrier (which is supposed to guard your brain from pathogens) becomes a Berlin Wall. The squished capillaries in your head won't pass enough blood to enable you to remember why you just walked into the living room.
• Your bones lose out in the intrabody competition for calcium and begin to honeycomb-even if you guzzle enough milk to drain a herd of Holsteins.
Dozens of spin-off problems begin to subtly slow you down. You may even get ambushed by diabetes or breast cancer. But the main symptom is . . .
High Blood Pressure
If you have even a little bit of hypertension, the U.S. government wants to put you on drugs for the rest of your life. Until last year, blood pressure of 130/90 was no great cause for alarm-just a notch above the ideal of 120/80. Now it sets off bells like a three-alarm fire!
Visit a conventional M.D. today, and he will want you to start taking a calcium channel blocker drug even if you're showing just 130/90. He won't mention anything about when you'll stop taking it. (People don't usually stop taking hypertension drugs because the doctor pronounces them cured; they stop because they're sick and tired of all the side effects.)
About 25% of Americans now are categorized as having high blood pressure. More and more victims are trapped on the treadmill to oblivion. What's the real problem here? Too much salt on the steak? Too much stress? (If that were the case, we could wipe out hypertension nationwide in 6 months just by getting everyone to cut back on the salt and start off the morning with an LP of Montovani instead of The New York Times.)
No, the root problem for salt-sensitive souls is something quite different.
How 88% of All the Hypertension Cases in North America Could Be Wiped Out Immediately
When your body produces too much of two natural hormones, they play tag-team havoc in your system. Parathyroid hormone (PH) is good for you, but an excess of it is becoming quite common for environmental reasons. And when it occurs, it triggers an excess of parathyroid hyperintensive factor (PHF), which is bad stuff. The extra PHF drives your calcium out of your bloodstream and into the mischief zones.
That's where the doctors come in with their calcium channel blocking drugs to artificially keep the calcium out of mischief. But alas, the drugs often cause as much mischief as they prevent. Now the good news:
An all-natural solution has been found. The discoverer
of PHF, the head of the Department of Physiology at the University of Alberta, has put together a simple compound that works in a startling 88% of cases. When combined with a change-of-lifestyle regimen, test subjects had an average drop in blood pressure from 171/108 to 126/83!
By any measure, that is dramatic. Through equal amounts of lab experiment work and blind luck, Dr. Peter Pang's Vancouver research team stumbled onto a mix of just 2 ingredients, an ancient Tibetan mushroom extract and a new fish by-product, that work together like magic to begin knocking down your blood pressure in 10 to 30 days-without side effects.
It could transform your health in more ways than you can count. To learn more ways to control your blood pressure check out your free collection, The 50 Very Best Solutions to the Worst Health Problems of Today.
Some of today's 'health gurus' put out excellent newsletters. In fact, they couldn't be finer-given their one common limitation: They draw on the knowledge and expertise of only one mind...
But here at the Health Sciences Institute, we're a horse of 19 different colors. We are a medical think tank, worldwide in scope, with 19 expert pairs of eyes and ears.
In contrast, consider the others in the alternative health field. If you were to subscribe to, say, the 10 best known newsletters, you'd no doubt eventually make the shocking discovery that the new wonder-cures announced by one 'guru' often aren't even mentioned in the other 9 letters! That's because the universe of real, natural cures that work is vast (even though your doctor and the medical establishment don't know about it)-far too vast for any one person to know...
We're different. Because we're a team of 19 world-class alternative medicine minds, each with a distinct and diverse discipline of expertise, very little escapes our attention!
No Organization in Complementary Medicine Will Bring You as Broad a Range of Information as HSI
You can join the Institute with the confidence that you will receive the world's widest range of vital, life-saving advice-alternatives to the mainstream's myths that no other information service in this field can offer you.

'Nothing can help your Alzheimer's...'
'I'm sorry, but your CT scan shows early-stage Alzheimer's. We can slow your decline somewhat, but there is no cure. You should begin to arrange for your long-term care...'
Alzheimer's Can Be Stopped-but The
Ortho-Docs Don't Know It
Please pardon the shouting type here, but we must say this as loudly as we can: If you or a friend begins to show any symptoms of Alzheimer's, head straight for an alternative-medicine physician. Do not even think about wasting your time on an establishment 'McDoctor.'
Alzheimer's is a serious condition, now nearing pandemic stages, and you cannot afford to waste time on conventional, white bread physicians who will tell you that you can't prevent it or stop it. We can and we have.
Don't Be Faked Out
It's true that Alzheimer's is a slow-growing disorder. The trouble is, by the time the victim (or his family) admits that it's not just ordinary forgetfulness, it's usually late in the game. So if it's Alzheimer's, you don't have a moment to spare. You must pounce on it promptly.
But how? Extremely few people know that it can be contained, stopped in its tracks...and often reversed. At the Health Sciences Institute, we have recommended a number of non-drug, non-
invasive treatment protocols for Alzheimer's in recent years. Today we would like to present you with the 4 best. Because the matter is so urgent, we are revealing the full names of these remedies in the discussion below.
Dramatic Results at UCLA
A recent press release from neuroscientists at UCLA announced that DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), an omega-3 fatty acid, holds Alzheimer's at bay in mice.
They induced Alzheimer's in several groups of lab mice to the point where they had brain lesions. Half those mice then got a DHA-deficient diet for 5 months. The other half got plenty of DHA. Then they put the mice into a tank of water and trained them to swim to a raised platform in it to rest on. After that, they submerged the platform slightly out of sight, so the mice had to recall where it was...
The DHA-fed mice usually located it with no trouble. But the DHA-deprived mice, more often than not, couldn't find it at all! They swam in circles at the edge of the tank, says a co-author of the study. (Sounds to us like the mouse-world equivalent of not being able to find your car keys.)
• Step One for preventing or stopping Alzheimer's: Go to your health food store and buy a bottle of DHA.
• Step Two for preventing or stopping Alzheimer's: Go to a local health food store and get some alpha-lipoic acid capsules. ALA is widely recognized as the king of antioxidants. So even if you aren't in any danger of mental decline, it will still do you good in dozens of ways. Here's the proof...
They Stopped the Enemy at the Rhine
At German universities in Hannover, Wurzburg, and Leipzig, researchers took another major step ahead in the fight against Alzheimer's in 2000.
They gave 600 mg a day of ALA (alpha-lipoic acid) to 9 human subjects (average age, 67) with Alzheimer's. After 337 days, the extremely encouraging results: None of the patients showed any decline in that time. Now, this isn't a huge number of subjects, but if you've ever had to watch a loved one sinking with Alzheimer's for a year, you know that's an incredible outcome. No drug on the market today has done that.
Moreover, they weren't guessing-they tested before and after with Germanic precision, using the standard MMSE and the cognitive subscale ADASCog (Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale). The results are real.
Going Beyond Stability to Marked Improvement
The reason you are able to read this is that you have healthy quantities of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine throughout your brain.
But if you develop Alzheimer's, that acetylcholine declines and gets broken down rapidly by an enzyme called acetyl cholinesterase (AChE). Bad news. Soon thereafter, you start to punctuate conversations with, 'Let's see, what I was talking about?' And it's downhill from there.
However, in the late '80s, a research team found that Huperzine-A, an extract of the ancient Chinese herb Huperzia serrata, easily goes through the blood-brain barrier and stops AChE from destroying your precious acetylcholine. Then, in a landmark study (placebo-controlled and double-blind) they discovered that 58% of Alzheimer's-patient subjects had a 'significant improvement in cognitive and memory function' when they got a mere 0.2 mg of Huperzine a day.
In case you missed it that means THEY GOT BETTER. That's right: Alzheimer's can now be halted AND sometimes even reversed.

• Step Three for reversing Alzheimer's: Stock up on Huperzine-A before you lose any more buttons.
Snowdrops and Daffodils
Those 2 dainty flowers yield an extract called galantamine, which stops Alzheimer's rapidly by boosting your acetylcholine noticeably.
A 5-part study in Belgium concluded unanimously that Alzheimer's patients given galantamine lost none of their mental abilities, while the control subjects given placebos fell apart rapidly, just as you would expect. In another study, doctors at the Helsinki University Central Hospital in Finland started giving 24 mg of galantamine to 359 of 537 Alzheimer's patients each day (the rest got placebos)...
After 6 months, the placebo group was allowed to switch to galantamine.
At the end of a year, both groups were given 3 brain tests. On 2 of the tests, the fortunate ones who had been on galantamine for the whole 12 months scored twice as high as those who had started with placebos? On the third test, they equaled or beat their own scores from 12 months before. Try to get those kinds of results from any medical drug. You can't do it. So take Step Four for reversing Alzheimer's and get a bottle of galantamine.
THE BOTTOM LINE FOR ALL THE ABOVE: Take this advice and you will most likely NOT be among the 50% of North Americans who will have Alzheimer's by age 85.
But to keep up with the constant new discoveries about Alzheimer's (which you won't find in the popular press), you must become a member of the only organization dedicated to unraveling the medical establishment's tapestry of lies-and bringing you the cures your doctor doesn't know about. Almost 100,000 others just like you have already joined, and are feeling and looking younger and more pain-free than they ever thought possible.

LIE #7
'Everybody gets
arthritis...'
'It happens to the best of us. Why, I even have a touch of arthritis myself. There's no cure, but we still have a few pain drugs that haven't been pulled off the shelves.'
New Arthritis Blocker
Beats Everything Else
New Zealand Import Blows Away All the Leading Prescription Remedies
It has long been the 'impossible dream' of researchers: a harmless natural extract powerful enough to really erase the pain and swelling of lifelong, crippling arthritis.
Celebrex, Vioxx, Bextra, and other drugs that have run into legal and PR troubles in recent months, throwing the medical profession into disarray and confusion about arthritis treatment. For 20 years, alternative medicine research teams in Japan, France, and Australia sweated and struggled to find an answer for arthritis that wouldn't cause more problems than it solved. Finally, they've found it in a remote spot that big-name drug firms never thought to look-on the shoreline of faraway New Zealand.
The Maori natives there are fond of gourmet dishes made from the green-lipped mussel. They credit this mussel with their legendary ability to jog, scamper up rocks, and do teenage-type moves well into their 80s and 90s. They feel sorry for us old folks who can't even climb a tree!
Early Proof in Scotland and France
The first lab tests were pretty crude. They simply ground up some mussels and fed the powder to arthritis patients.
But even that was a modest success: Tests in Scotland in 1980 helped 39% of those with osteoarthritis and 68% of those with rheumatoid arthritis. (All the poor wretches who were assigned placebos had to have surgery at the end of the 6-month study to repair their joints, which by then were badly damaged!)
Another early trial study (1986, France) reduced pain by 62%. (The unfortunates on placebos had a 20% increase in pain for 6 months!)
Finally, after almost 20 years of step-by-step research, researchers zeroed in on a specific group of compounds in powdered mussel extract that actually do all the work of restoring your lost youth. They're called ETA's (EicosaTetraenoic Acids). The process of discovering and isolating ETA was so arduous that the researchers were given patents on the process-very hard to get on a natural, non-drug substance!
Arthritic Joints Shrink 97%
Starting with animals, they found this ETA mix reduces swelling in arthritic paws more than 90%.
Then in humans, they pitted the ETAs against the mainstream drug of choice, which at that time was indomethacin. The result: Indomethacin was 83% effective in reducing painful swelling of joints. The ETAs were 97% effective! They also beat aspirin and ibuprofen.
Even more important: ETAs are non-toxic. And there are virtually no side effects. You certainly can't say that about drugs. Even the most recent drugs may trigger rebound inflammation, eventually making your pain worse than ever.
As to toxicity, don't even think about doubling or tripling your dosage of Celebrex in an attempt to get more relief. On the other hand, ETAs are totally safe to take-even if you're allergic to shellfish.
Good News if You're a Purist
Finally, they got around to testing ETAs against other natural compounds. If you're a devotee of alternative medicine, you probably know that flax oil, evening primrose oil, and Norwegian salmon oil have all been used to alleviate arthritis pain while avoiding side effects.
ETAs have now been tested against all of them. The best of the 'contenders' proved to be a specific brand of high potency fish oil. In a recent test, this oil reduced swelling by 50% in the time allotted. The ETA mix reduced it by 79%.
That's a hefty victory. But here's the untold story: To get that 50% reduction from the fishy stuff, they had to give the test subjects 200 times as much of it. So if you weigh, say, 121 pounds, you'd have to take 100,000 milligrams a day! Compare that to one 500-milligram capsule of ETAs.
Now, we recommend this particular brand of fish oil for general health for a number of reasons. But frankly, when it comes to arthritis (whether rheumatoid, osteo, or viral), it just isn't batting in the same league with ETAs. And the other natural remedies are much weaker still...

Soon, you might even be able to get the lid off the pickle jar without a pipe wrench. In addition, you'll have 49 other little-known cures for every major cause of death.
Ignorance isn't bliss, its death.
As I showed you in the first half of this report, your doctor is telling you some potentially deadly lies-and he doesn't even know it.
But it isn't his fault. He simply never learned in medical school or in mainstream journals about the safe, natural miracle-cures that are all around us, but known only to an unorthodox, yet dedicated few. It's a shame, but the modern medical establishment is so dominated by the pill and scalpel that these un-patentable (read: inexpensive and difficult to regulate) cures get swept under the rug by our Big Pharma-friendly government...
However, just because most MDs aren't intentionally ignoring the real cures doesn't mean that their ignorance couldn't be killing you-or someone you love. That's why in order to stay healthy, vigorous, and long-lived in the face of both epidemic illnesses and epic medical incompetence, YOU need to get educated in ways your doctor isn't. You need a knowledgeable health source. And that source is HSI.
Why We're Different
Other alternative medical publishers are digesters. They pore through primary research journals and rake together all the good stuff they can find. Frankly, 5 or 6 of them do a strong job, in our opinion...
But HSI is a force of a different color. With our home office staff and our 19 noted doctors and researchers, we are a permanent, full-service research team. We generate the medical news every month that others may report 6 months or a year later.
Or not at all.
And of course, we monitor the mainstream medical press every day. And we'll review for you the most important advances from that forum every month in the HSI Members Alert, and weekdays in our e-mail wire service, the HSI e-Alert.
But we have our own agenda and research priorities, and they're this: Bringing you fresh news of how all of us in the field of alternative health are solving the problems that have totally stymied traditional medicine.

• A wonderful new natural cure for acid reflux and chronic heartburn discovered by our panel in England. Users agree that after a few weeks, the problem just goes away, usually forever.
• A new peptide that's as safe as, well, a glass of warm milk at curing insomnia and stress. It beats the socks off kava and St. John's Wort, not to mention Xanax, Valium, or Halcion-plus, no side effects...
• The one (and only) product that will build your bones steadily-and faster than the best prescription osteoporosis drugs. HSI members were the first to be able to buy it, and are still among the only people in the world who know about it.
• A natural answer to inflammation, (bronchitis, congested lungs, carpal tunnel syndrome, varicose veins, clogged nose, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, various allergies and more: an enzyme reported to knock out these problems like nothing else on the planet.
Look, we're not trying to be arrogant by pulling the rug out from under all the conventional doctors out there, and we don't have all the answers...
After all, some people die from accidents-or rare diseases that have everyone buffaloed. But with all the humility we can muster, we can still confidently state this:

Easy Solutions to Tough Problems
Why drug yourself into oblivion to fight mere symptoms when you can have true health - without the heavy costs and nasty side effects?
Science never stops, even if it's not being reported in USA Today.
The research juggernaut rolls on, knocking down feared illnesses and raising our lifespan. By tomorrow morning, dozens of new cures for disease will be published somewhere for some of the thousands of ills in this world.
Any good cure is welcome, of course. (Any port in a storm, right?) But 80% or more of today's new remedies are coming out of laboratories funded by pharmaceutical giants. That means they're paid to produce drugs.
Now, if you're content taking drugs, just go to any garden-variety M.D., tell him your symptoms, and he will put you on the appropriate drug to 'band-aid' those symptoms. If you can stand the usual side effects, congratulations-you just got a quick fix. (On average, doctor’s finish with you in 7 1/2 minutes-after you've sat there waiting half-naked for twice that long!)
If, however, you want to go deeper than symptoms and get rid of the underlying causes of your troubles, then you're looking for us. HSI deals with the other, unknown-by-the-mainstream 20% of new treatments, those called natural or holistic. And we're at the top of that field-we often announce cures that you won't hear about anywhere else.
We are a true think tank, an alliance of researchers in a quest for alternatives to the mainstream that actually cure disease instead of just band-aiding symptoms. And not to be too full of ourselves, but we are the wave of the future in medicine. You can be there for that healthy future, too-if you join us now.

The Cancer Triggers are in the Vaccines, the Food and the Water! They’re Not in Your ‘Bad Genes’!

The Cancer Triggers are in the Vaccines, the Food and the Water! They’re Not in Your ‘Bad Genes’!
By Neil Foster, 30th July 2010
Ask anyone with half an ounce of common sense what would happen if mice with suppressed immune systems were injected with genetically altered cells known to cause cancer and I’m sure 100% of those questioned would come up with the obvious answer; Surprise, surprise! The mice would get cancer.
http://www.independent.ie/world-news/prostate-cancer-trigger-identified-2278319.html
So why is it that this is supposedly a breakthrough in prostate cancer research?
The truth is that it isn’t. It’s just another article pointing to ‘defective genes’ later in the article as the ‘real’ cause of prostate cancer and is just another eugenics promotion piece which the mainstream media has pushed over the past few months which I’ve written about before because they all follow the same pattern of ultimately blaming the root causes on ‘bad genes’ for a variety of illness.
http://www.sovereignindependent.com/?p=5397
How many of these junk science articles need to be published in the mainstream before people start to take notice that everything is being blamed on so called ‘bad genes’ and that this will become a medical diagnosis to justify sterilization and abortion?
That’s what all this bogus pseudo science is about. It will be used to target the poor and vulnerable in our society such as the mentally and physically handicapped that will be classed as ‘defective’ in the eyes of the state and be deemed a burden to society.
This is nothing new and is certainly not something that went away after the demise of Stalin and Hitler who used the same pseudo science to justify mass murder and horrific ‘medical’ experiments on those they selected as being ‘feeble minded’ or ‘unfit’.
Why do these same ‘medical’ morons never tell us that vaccines are highly toxic and play a major role in the massive increases in cancers and other diseases and illness which were virtually unheard of prior to mass vaccination campaigns? Why do they never tell us that fluoride is a highly dangerous neurotoxin added to our water supply which should not be drunk by children? Why do they never talk about the vitamins and minerals which are virtually nonexistent in our foods today as being another major cause of illness due to our suppressed immune systems?
The reason they don’t tell us these vital pieces of information is not because they don’t know, it’s because it’s not in their interests to tell you because their business relies on long term sickness which they profit from. There is no incentive for any doctor or medical expert to come up with the solution to a healthy life; that being no vaccines, real uncontaminated food and pure water complete with all the high dose vitamin and minerals we should get from them as well as basic exercise and care of our own bodies. If human were allowed to look after themselves with all the knowledge we should have been given early in life, then the medical profession and in particular big pharma would be virtually gone from our society. We would still have doctors and hospitals of course but these would not be on the scale they are not and would certainly not cost the earth to supply.
However, there’s no profit in a healthy society. The sickness business is where the money is with governments, in the case of the last ‘scary story’ of ‘swine flu’, paying billions around the world for vaccines that nobody wanted and which are now sitting on shelves in hospitals or being sent off to make people in the Third World sick with a vaccine for a nonexistent flu, in parts of the world where the local populations don’t even get flu.
Never let a good crisis go to waste the elites will tell you. They’re certainly not going to let go of a cancer giving vaccine for the Third World, where they don’t get flu, put them off. Nope they’ll just talk some psychopathic ‘doctors’ to inject it into poor people who they see as having ‘defective genes’ which make them ‘black’. I suppose they’ll come up with a cure for the defective ‘black’ gene.
Oh yes they have already, it’s called EUGENICS and every time you read one of these ridiculous articles talking about a cure for this or that because they’ve discovered the ‘bad gene’ responsible, just think for second because you might have the next ‘disease’ of the body or mind which can be ‘cured’ by identifying the ‘bad gene’ responsible.
Mass murder through the excuse of bad genes is not new. Your challenge is to stop this fraudulent pseudo science taking hold again before the lunatics that run the asylum come out in the open looking for your ‘bad gene’!

In less than a week two billionaires have joined the anti-teacher "Billionaires Club": a group of ultra-wealthy individuals hell-bent on destroying public education and teachers’ unions. The newest members of the club are Oprah Winfrey and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg.

Winfrey has used her show — twice in one week — as a platform against public education. She first hosted billionaire Bill Gates to discuss his "philanthropy" in education, as he promoted the new anti-public education propaganda film Waiting for Superman.

Waiting for Superman is a "documentary" focused on the types of anti-teacher school "reforms" desired by the Billionaires Club, who have used their tremendous wealth to blackmail school districts and states to institute their policies.

For example, the Facebook founder's donation of $100 million to the Newark, New Jersey school district will almost certainly require — according to The New York Times — that the school institute these reforms, much like Bill Gates' donation of $100 million to the Tampa Hillsborough County School District — and the $90 million to the Memphis school district — had the same types of strings attached.

What are the conditions for receiving this "charity" of billionaires? It's the same demands for receiving money from the federal government under Obama's badly-named Race to the Top program: creating more privately administered — or for profit — Charter schools; connecting teacher's pay with student test scores (merit pay); undermining the seniority of teachers; and other tricks to dis-empower teachers and public education.

Diane Ravitch, a former corporate-school reformer, has now dedicated her time to exposing the motives of the super-rich and their new-found interest in "reforming" public education. In her book The Death and Life of the Great American School System, Ravitch entitles a chapter “The Billionaires Boys Club.” On the radio show Democracy Now! Ravitch summarized the chapter:

“The Billionaires Boys Club is a discussion of how we’re in a new era of the [billionaire] foundations and their relation to education. We have never in the history of the United States had foundations with the wealth of the Gates Foundation and some of the other billionaire foundations — the Walton Family Foundation, The Broad Foundation. And these three foundations — Gates, Broad and Walton — are committed now to charter schools and to evaluating teachers by test scores. And that’s now the policy of the U.S. Department of Education. We have never seen anything like this, where foundations had the ambition to direct national educational policy, and in fact are succeeding."

There are some key motives for billionaires to jump in a coalition with this singular focus, none of them well meaning.

1) There are unknown billions in profits to be made in privatizing public education, either in the private administration of schools, curriculum companies, or entirely for-profit schools. There has been much talk in the investor world of this new "market.” In addition, the New York Daily News reported: “Wealthy investors and major banks have been making windfall profits by using a little-known federal tax break to finance new charter-school construction. The program, the New Markets Tax Credit, is so lucrative that a lender who uses it can almost double his money in seven years.” (May 5, 2010).

2) The super-rich hate taxes. They would rather not pay taxes towards public education when they could instead invest their money in private schools and reap profits.

3) Billionaires hate unions (they didn't become billionaires by paying union wages): The biggest obstacle towards privatizing public education is the powerful teachers’ unions. Teacher unions are also the strongest segment of the labor movement, and thus the most powerful grouping in the U.S. working class, able to fight back most effectively against corporate school reform— the billionaires’ natural enemies.

The super-rich attacked first in this battle between teachers and billionaires. The teachers must defend themselves. Shamefully, certain segments of the teachers’ unions are having troubles labeling their attackers as enemies.

For example, the President of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), Randy Weingarten, sent a friendly invitation to Bill Gates to address the AFT convention, where Gates was allowed to deceive the teachers about the intentions of his multi-billion dollar "investment" in "reforming" education.

Gates’ ideas about education — blaming teachers for everything — ignores what most teachers already know: the main predictor for a student’s success is social-economic background. Rich students outperform poor students for many different reasons: less stress, more resources, parental help, etc. Ignoring this obvious fact exposes the billionaires’ profit motive behind their fake charity.

Teachers must fight back. They cannot allow the media to frame the debate with the ideas of the corporate think tanks and foundations. Teachers cannot concede on the issues that help keep their unions powerful, such as seniority; merit pay must be defeated for the same reasons.

If the teachers’ unions combined with other public sector unions, parent associations, and the community at large to demand FULLY FUNDED PUBLIC EDUCATION by TAXING THE RICH, the billionaires would find themselves without allies. Their money might then be put towards something useful.

Whatever Controls Your Attention Controls You

Whatever Controls Your Attention Controls You
In: Addiction|Thought Control
To control your actions you just need to control your thoughts. Sounds simple huh. Your thoughts become actions, repeated actions become habits, and habits make up your character. So why in the world is it so difficult to do this? It seems so simple yet most of us struggle to do it consistently. The main reason is because whether we realize it or not we’ve already used this process to create our current character and our current character takes time to change just like it took time to create. It especially takes time to change feelings and desires.
The simpleness of this concept frustrated me because I could not understand why I could not do something so simple. I was really being hard on myself because I was making progress, just not as fast as I wanted to. Honestly I would not have been ready for an overnight change had I received it anyway. Sure I would have enjoyed it for a time but I would not have learned how to maintain it. So mine was a gradual change of character. Not that I was a bad person but years of bad habits caused made progress slow. Yet it was progress. On the graph of life, even if you have set-backs, as long as the line is going in an upward direction, then you are progressing. We are all here to progress. Just persevere and you will succeed.
Controlling thoughts is really a two step process. First you must remember that you can’t just simply avoid or stop any bad thoughts. This is impossible and will only deepen your addiction. Everyone has thoughts enter their heads all day every day and that doesn’t make them bad. It’s what you choose to do with thoughts and temptation that counts. So the first step is simply to acknowledge you feel tempted and that it’s ok to feel tempted. Of course don’t go seek out temptation; that is completely putting down your defenses.
Second you must replace the tempting thoughts with good healthy ones. So for example, you have a temptation to look at pornography in your mind, you acknowledge that it’s a temptation and that you are not bad for feeling sexual urges. Then you decide to replace the temptation with another meaning. “I choose to control these urges because I’m a happier and more confident person. I enjoy my life more and other people can also see I’m more confident.” This is just an example so choose an alternate meaning that is powerful for you. Try not to use negative words in your positive statements, i.e. “I can’t” or “I shouldn’t”.
You have to do both steps or this won’t work. Also, don’t feel guilty if a bad thought crosses your mind and you handle it like you’re supposed to. It’s ok to have thoughts cross your mind, just don’t dwell on them or create them. I used to try to be perfect in my thought control and of course this didn’t last long. I would have a bad thought cross my mind and feel guilty even when I stopped thinking about it immediately. This unnecessary guilt would lead me to give up and my thoughts and eventually actions would spiral out of control. So don’t feel guilty if you handled a bad thought correctly, and that means just get rid of it as soon as it appears.
The second part of the thought control process is crucial. You absolutely must get your mind off the bad thought then immediately replace it with something good. This is so important because the bad thought will just return to the blank space left unfilled. Don’t dwell on porn addiction .
The mind likes to be working and engaged in interesting thoughts. A bored mind cannot endure itself and will seek pleasure as a substitute for what you are not providing it. So it is important to always be learning, working, and creating a life in which you will easily have so much to think about that you have no time to dwell on destructive thoughts. Don’t take this to the extreme and burn yourself out quickly by trying to fill every second of the day with something. Remember not to run faster than you are able in this process otherwise you will not be able to endure long enough to change.
Also, try not to focus on your weaknesses too much. It seems that when we conduct a direct and targeted campaign on our bad habits we give them much attention and thought. Giving them too much thought can give them a power they do not possess. It’s all about balance. Addiction is partly a state of mind in which we feel we cannot escape our vice and it is constantly on our minds. Once you train your brain to focus on positive aspects of life you’ve been neglecting then life will become sweeter. Don’t let addiction dominate your thoughts and ultimately dominate your life. Yes, you may be struggling, but you can climb out of this pit while beginning with the pit in your mind.
About Dreams
Dreams can have a powerful effect on our emotional state. There is the temptation to feel guilty when you have a dream that contains sexual content. Do not feel guilty and do not dwell on thoughts of these particular dreams. Dreams can sometimes have meaning but most of the time they are simply a random collection of our experiences meshed together to form stories we often don’t understand. We dream about the stresses in our life, whether past or present. The main point I want to make here is don’t feel guilty about or dwell on lustful dreams. They are out of your control so far as you are presently concerned. As you clean up your life you will perhaps have less of them but they are not necessarily a judge of your progress. When you wake up after one of these dreams, just use the above stated thought control process and move on with your day with a great attitude.

Unplug the Signal: The Truth Will Not Be Televised

Unplug the Signal: The Truth Will Not Be Televised
A flow of information is constantly streaming from the television set; a bombardment of words and pictures. The speed at which this information is communicated makes it easy for the signal to take control, switching the viewer’s brain to stand-by as information is absorbed without analysis or question.
Today the television’s constant signal shapes the conclusions of the masses and produces the collective norm. The signal prescribes what news is and what is truth through the words of so-called experts and authorities, gelding the consciousness and independent thoughts of those subjected to it. Through television, the masses can be made to accept the most monstrous distortions of reality. The signal is a chill wind of continuous oppression over the minds of the masses. It controls the management of society and culture, creating uniformity across all subjects.
The fuel for this vehicle of mass deception is a technique known as perception management where arrays of psychological techniques are used to alter the truth, leading the viewer to a desired conclusion. Some call this spin or propaganda while others know it as lying. According to Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister for Adolph Hitler, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it… It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Most of what can be found on the nightly news is nothing but advertisements selling more government and a false reality that benefits only those in control. Television is the dictator of information; newspaper and radio are the whisper campaign of the television’s message.
It is expected that Americans will consistently prescribe to the doctrine of the television. It is subtly communicated that one should stay within the collective and never challenge the message, for doing so may be considered an aggression towards culture. The message is, “Be a good consumer; always obey authority; you know nothing; listen only to experts; be content and never question or express new ideas.” This signal is being broadcast across millions of screens, indoctrinating the unconscious minds of those who choose this as their only reality. Self-censorship occurs when these individuals become so deeply indoctrinated that they are afraid to discuss any information outside the paradigm of television-created culture; they police their thoughts to ensure they won’t conflict with this culture. Sadly, many people’s reality today does not allow any outside information to process, instead it is written off as conspiracy or blatant lies. Our consciousness has been destroyed so much that fiction has become reality. An entire lifestyle of poisonous foods, pharmaceuticals, and fluoridated water are accepted as safe and sold to us at the cost of our health and well being.
Those of the establishment are using the incredibly powerful weapon of mass psychology as a method of controlling the minds of the masses and altering the behavior of individuals. Edward Bernays, a pioneer in the field of public relations in the 20th century, applied Sigmund Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis to manipulate the masses by engineering consent. According to Bernays, “If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without them knowing it.” Advertisers and psychologists of the billion dollar culture creation industry manufacture trends through the proliferation of insecurities; and manipulating desires and emotions. These concepts are also employed to control how individuals think about politics, as well as the possibilities and limitations within society. Those wielding power within our streams of mass communication market their plans into each generation as individuals adopt specific ways of thinking and never suspect that all the major events and trends within their lifetime are actually planned by an elite few before they are even born. In our society today, culture is created from the top down. Virtually all forms of culture are created by the ruling class to build a false sense of reality, ensure social compliance, and control the future course of cultural evolution.
Predictive programming is a tool used by the establishment to acclimate the public to new ideas, trends, beliefs, and threats. It is used through television by including certain situations or ideas within the plots of many fictional shows, familiarizing the viewer with these concepts no matter what they may be watching. When similar situations occur or like ideas are circulated in the world we think that these particular things are quite natural for we have unknowingly been made familiar with them through television. By viewing nearly any popular show on television, one can see the same propaganda that will be aired on the nightly news. Propaganda on a wide array of subjects has been interwoven into a great number of television shows. Just a few of these subjects include global warming, vaccinations, torture, terrorism, national security, the militarization of police, and the degradation of the family unit. Through predictive programming, television shapes culture and prevents individuals from asking questions.
Crises are created on a daily basis and broadcast across the airwaves to keep individuals in a state of panic and fear. Whether it is the threat of a pandemic or terrorism, the constant state of crisis has created a form of mental illness as we are slowly acclimated into an age of crisis. By using Hegelian dialectic, the television promotes the problem, guides our reaction, and presents the solution. The problem of terrorism was exclaimed, a strong emotional response was evoked, and it was stated that our rights need be sacrificed in order to protect us from the threat. We’ve lost personal sovereignty under the guise of terrorism; we’re stopped and searched; we’re watched by cameras as we go about our lives; and we’re encouraged to spy on our neighbors. We have been trained to accept the life of a prisoner.
America is in a state of enlightened despotism where most individuals live only to satisfy selfish inner desires and remain ignorant of the state of the world around them. In most public places one can find a television transmitting propaganda around the clock ensuring the masses remain focused on trivial matters. From birth we take the world as it’s presented on television. We don’t question it and any serious criticism of TV is becoming psychologically impossible in society. Who would suspect getting born into a world where everything around you is a continuous lie? The youth of today are convinced that the experts and personalities on television are the authority of credible information while parents and older generations are foolish with dated ideas. Children are conditioned to disconnect from what is truly important to their well being and instead focus on mindless trivia, sports, celebrity gossip, and buying an array of material things. They invest their psychological worth in fantasy characters on television while ignoring or even scorning individuals contributing to the betterment of humanity. They are discouraged from getting involved in their local community and often lack the ability to think independently or to resist corruption. As their children’s minds are molded by television, there is barely a murmur from the public.
For over half a century, our society has lived under this signal of mental programming and conditioning. The message is clear: don’t be a leader, don’t engage in critical thinking, and don’t care about the people in your life. Until individuals become aware of the current information war, our standard of living and our liberties will continue to be degraded and we will continue to lose communities and meaningful relationships between people. Currently, pockets of resistance are beginning to spring up everywhere as some unplug the signal and regain control of their own thoughts. Informed individuals are canceling their cable and satellite subscriptions and instead spending time with their families and children while participating in meaningful experiences. They are seeking alternative news sources. They are reading about those who wield incredible influence over culture like Edward Bernays, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Charles Galton Darwin, Plato, Bertrand Russell, and Aldous Huxley. However, it is a continuous battle to educate the masses for the television remains our greatest threat to individual sovereignty and the largest obstacle to becoming a truly informed individual. Fortunately, unplugging from the signal is easy. The television can simply be turned off. Through doing so, you may realize nearly our entire world is now a hoax; things once known as truth are fake. We have been trained like dogs to be obedient to our television; our master has had our minds on a tight leash. Let us never forget the truth will not be televised.

TV IS A PSYCHO-SOCIAL WEAPON

TV IS A PSYCHO-SOCIAL WEAPON

Ken Doyle
I think most right thinking people are agreed that physical effects aside, the content of the majority of TV programming today (I emphasize the word programming, a process that involves a passive receptor of information) is designed to instill a social worldview and value system that is self-centric and is in fact the opposite of what a healthy and enduring society requires. Individualism at any cost rules the day and it is more and more evident that empathy for one’s fellow citizen and a sense of personal responsibility are rapidly vanishing along with the morality that all healthy civilizations have known to be necessary for survival. Only recently a car I was traveling in was bumped from behind by a driver who was, I would guess, in his mid to late thirties, looked quite respectable and drove a new and expensive car. Rather than stop and offer his details for the damage done he feigned an apology and when our vehicle pulled off to park safely he took his opportunity to flee the scene, no doubt congratulating himself on avoiding a messy process involving insurance agencies etc. People today are only made to feel guilt when caught and exposed for their crimes. They have no higher authority to fear and the current direction of societal attitudes puts paid to that particular view often espoused that it is possible to remain moral and upstanding without religion or a guiding moral principal if you prefer. The crime figures, road rage and general attitude of fellow citizens would tend to indicate otherwise. I believe TV has much blame to shoulder for this.
People spend a lot of their spare time in front of the television. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to state that TV is a major source of many people’s opinions and views on pretty much everything. Given the amount of time people spend watching television it makes perfect sense that if you want to shape public opinion the TV is the medium par excellence by which to disseminate your information. It stands to reason then that if you agree that a movement exists, and I think a lot of people of do, whose aim is to re-make the world in man’s image, albeit a skewed and perverse one, then it makes sense for such an organization to consolidate control of the TV airwaves and turn it into a propaganda video-drome. Some might say that the proof is in the pudding, that TV is so biased toward the crude, libertine, amoral lifestyle and that the portrayal of the Christian religion, the very force that created our society, is so negative, misinformed and hostile that surely such a conspiracy exists. Now to extrapolate this thought is an article unto itself but the facts are there and the conspiracy is out in the open. To give just two examples, we have the admission by the
BBC following a leaking of an internal memo wherein it was admitted that they are anti-Christ in their outlook. After complaints that BBC programming repeatedly errs on the side of sensitivity to Islam & other minorities (religious or otherwise) & bias against Christianity (especially Roman Catholicism), the British Broadcasting Corporation has admitted its guilt. A summit meeting of BBC officials culminated in admissions that “the BBC is not impartial or neutral,” as BBC political editor Andrew Marr put it. The closed-door summit’s conclusions were leaked to the British newspaper The Mail on Sunday.
Evidence also exists that governments control news output and content. On January 14, 1983 President Reagan of the USA signed into effect directive 77 which gave the CIA and government full power to determine and control the content of news that the American public receives, news which can now be uploaded and or modified in minutes with modern technology. Goebbels would be proud. Think about it. It only takes a decision made by one chief editor to determine the news received by millions and in the US it is said that upwards of 90% of all media formats including newspapers and magazines are controlled by 3 or 4 corporations, a number which is going down as more and more news agencies are bought up and amalgamated. All an agency has do to make sure the news delivered suits a particular agenda is to put a very small number of people into the right positions.
Alex Jones, a rising star in the American “Truth Movement” is an independent syndicated radio talk-show host and investigative journalist from Austin, Texas. He has had personal contact with people from many of the US’s major news agencies like FOX and CNN and he says that many people employed with these companies don’t agree with the style and content of news produced and in fact know and believe much of it to be contrived, misrepresented or simply incorrect.
The physical way in which TV affects the brain makes it a perfect vehicle for propaganda. It’s important to note that your eyes grow directly, stem-like, from the brain. They really are the window to the soul and the perfect conduit to access the brain’s inner sanctums.
The human brain works at 4 basic frequencies. These are Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta.
Beta waves are produced when one is thinking and using one’s higher faculties and Delta is associated with sleep and/or deep trance like states. The radiant light and flicker rates of TV cause the brain to drop down to a level of activity somewhere between Alpha and Theta – essentially a sleepy dreamlike state of mind where the higher critical functions are turned off. Even if you’re reading text on a television screen the brain registers low levels of Alpha wave activity. Theta brainwaves engage inner and intuitive subconscious. You will find theta in places where you hold memories, sensations and emotions any information therefore imbibed from the TV by-passes our logical, critically thinking sieve and goes straight into those sub areas of the mind associated with more emotive response. TV then appeals more to the emotions than the mind and of course how many of us engage in lively informed debate anymore? Very few. The more common reaction to big questions is usually an emotive response followed by a quick change in subject. TV viewing is a somatic experience which means it is “of the body, not of the mind”. I’m reminded of Huxley’s book, ”Brave New World” where the drug of choice was called soma and enabled people to escape unpalatable intellectual life problems.
Psychologist Thomas Mulholland found that after just 30 seconds of watching television the brain begins to produce alpha waves, which indicates torpid (almost comatose) rates of activity. Alpha brain waves are associated with unfocused, overly receptive states of consciousness. A high occurrence of alpha wave activity does not occur normally when the eyes are open. In fact, Mulholland’s research implies that watching television is neurologically analogous to staring at a blank wall. It’s worth noting that the goal of hypnotists is to induce slow brain wave states. Alpha waves are present during the ‘light hypnotic’ state used by hypnotherapists for suggestion therapy.
The critical side of your brain is the left. As you read this you are making judgments, passing opinions and coming to conclusions which take the form of beta brain wave activity. These are the waves activated when you begin to use that left hand side, the center of logical human communication and analysis.
Researchers have found that once the television set is switched on, that left hand side and all its faculties tends to switch off. Instead the images from television go straight to the right brain. The switch from beta to alpha waves shows this. Alpha brain waves are the ones we associate with meditation and sleep. By no means does this mean that we are not taking the information in – we are taking it all in, we are just not able to critically evaluate it as we would with information coming from other sources.
Video Games have been shown to lower brain activity to below that of the Delta frequency!
The TV screen flicker rate alone is known to induce mesmerized states in people. This flicker rate is the rate at which the screen image is updated, generally about 50 or 60 times a second. DARPA is a US military funded research programmer. One of their endeavors concerned developing TV flicker rates that could be played whenever a mesmerized state was required in a given section of the population.
Endorphins are released by overexposure to light. The radiant light from televisions causes a release of endorphins. Researcher Herbert Krugman showed that while viewers are watching television, the right hemisphere is twice as active as the left, a neurological anomaly. The crossover from left to right releases a surge of the body’s natural opiates: endorphins, which include beta-endorphins and enkephalins. Endorphins are structurally identical to opium and its derivatives (morphine, codeine, heroin, etc.). Activities that release endorphins (also called opioid peptides) are usually habit-forming (we rarely call them addictive). These include cracking knuckles and strenuous exercise. External opiates act on the same receptor sites (opioid receptors) as endorphins, so there is little difference between the two.
Even casual television viewers experience such opiate-withdrawal symptoms if they stop watching TV for a prolonged period of time. An article from South Africa’s Eastern Province Herald (October 1975) described two experiments in which people from various socio-economic milieus were asked to stop watching television. In one experiment, several families volunteered to turn off their TV’s for just one month. The poorest family gave in after one week, and the others suffered from depression, saying they felt as though they had “lost a friend.” In the other experiment, 182 West Germans agreed to kick their television viewing habit for a year, with the added bonus of payment. None could resist the urge longer than six months, and over time all of the participants showed the symptoms of opiate-withdrawal: increased anxiety, frustration, and depression.
Herbert Krugman’s research proved that watching television numbs the left brain and leaves the right brain to perform all cognitive duties. This has some harrowing implications for the effects of television on brain development and health. For one, the left hemisphere is the critical region for organizing, analyzing, and judging incoming data. The right brain treats incoming data uncritically, and it does not decode or divide information into its component parts.
Researches into the effects of TV have warned that children under two years of age shouldn’t watch any at all due to the negative impact on various areas of a child’s development which include skills of observation, speech, hearing, depth perception, reading ability, inducing attention deficit type behavior, a lack of motor skills due to immobile viewing habits and so on. TV is a wholly inappropriate and ineffectual teaching tool. Its pointless having debates lamenting the demise of intellectual ability and endeavour when intellects have never even had a chance to naturally and properly grow due to the numbing effects of television on children particularly.
Conversely it’s worth noting that radio has the opposite effect and actually develops a higher rate of concentration, the audio forcing people to be stimulated to visualize what they hear. Reading of course further extends the ability to concentrate and critically examine information over longer periods.
Even the style of TV production these days is geared toward an amphetamine-like addiction people have with regard to information reception. The cadence of scene changes, that is the rate and beat at which images are changing on the screen is very fast and further inclines the mind under development to be unable to concentrate for long periods on long pieces of textual information. Average rates of attention span are down from a few decades ago to mere minutes where once it was more than one hour for deep critical thinking.
Studies have linked quality of life to high vocabulary rates which heavy TV consumption impacts negatively. If you have good communication skills you are better able to express the world you live in and how you define it and if this is a yardstick to judge by then for many of our countries’ young folk the world must be very banal indeed. A poor vocabulary means you have a myopic existence, you have a tunnel-like perception of this great planet and your quality of life is adversely affected. Just listening to pop stars in particular, the idols of the young can make one cringe with embarrassment at the vacuous and inarticulate clap-trap they come out with.
We live in a world today were people’s personalities are formed by unreal things: TV, the music industry, video games, movies, the effects of drugs (be that of the recreational or psychotropic variety). Virtual reality dominates the interests of a lot of people out there, even young adults and people of my own age group in their 30′s. All conversation is about this or that TV show, the latest new video game on the latest new console or who’s top of the Premiership. It’s a sad state of affairs.
All these negative effects on society are known; they are in fact engineered and planned for. A New World Order is coming into view. Not so long ago in India, the then British Chancellor Gordon Brown, in a speech mentioned this “New Global Order” that is being brought into existence. This New Order will be the stuff of nightmare as envisaged by Orwell. In fact I don’t think even Orwell had the vision to picture the dystopian technocratic dictatorship in store for humanity. Huxley was somewhat closer to the mark in his novel, “Brave New World “.
The TV is our soma, it keeps us mesmerized and dulled while our freedoms are revoked and laws introduced to make criminals of us all so the New World Order can get on with the business of creating a prison planet with a prison based economic system, much like modern China.
Get rid of your TV’s today. Exchange them for projection systems if you’re not yet ready to give up the video drome. We need to reclaim our personalities from the agencies and organizations that use TV to claim our minds, create our consumerist loyalties and keep us from truth, reality and a full-spectrum human life. We need to reclaim for ourselves and instill in future generations a sense of wonder at the real world and its panoply of real life heroes and people genuinely worth admiring.
