GENETICALLY ENGINEERED "FRANKENGRASS" SPREADS INTO THE WILD

GENETICALLY ENGINEERED "FRANKENGRASS" SPREADS INTO THE WILD


An experimental variety of genetically engineered bentgrass has escaped from its test plot in Oregon and has been found growing in the wild as far as three miles away, according to scientists from the U.S. EPA. The biotech plant, designed for golf courses, has not been approved by the USDA, but has already been found dispersing among native grasses in six different locations. Scientists say they don't know how will behave in the wild but admit it may have a strong advantage over native grasses, and could therefore irreversibly damage the ecosystem as it spreads. According to Tom Stohlgren, an ecologist at the US Geological Survey's National Institute of Invasive Species Science, the experimental bentgrass "can tend to outcompete other species...It doesn't need to sexually reproduce - it's like The Blob. It could potentially hit rare species or national parks."

The Truth About 'Fluoride'

by A. True Ott
tott@mountainwest.net
© August 2000



Fluoride used by Nazis to sterilize inmates and make them docile. Fluoride a key dumbing down ingredient of Prozac and Sarin nerve gas -- poisons of choice for tyrant rats.

First of all, it needs to be stated that the 'substance' referred to as 'Fluoride' is a misnomer - there is no such substance listed in the periodic chart of the elements, nor in the prestigious CRC handbook, nor in the sacred 'bible' of the pharmaceutical industry - the illustrious 'Merck Index'. Instead, we find a GAS called Fluorine - and from the use of this gas in various industries such as aluminum manufacturing and the nuclear industry -certain toxic byproducts are created which have 'captured' fluorine molecules. One such toxic, poisonous 'byproduct' is called sodium Fluoride - which according to the Merck Index is primarily used as rat and cockroach poison and is also the active ingredient in most toothpastes and as an "additive to drinking water". But sadly, there is much more to this sordid tale.

Did you know that sodium Fluoride is also one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin Nerve Gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUORIDE) - (Yes, folks the same Sarin Nerve Gas that terrorists released on a crowded Japanese subway train!). Let me repeat: the truth the American public needs to understand is the fact that Sodium Fluoride is nothing more (or less) than a hazardous waste by-product of the nuclear and aluminum industries. In addition to being the primary ingredient in rat and cockroach poisons, it is also a main ingredient in anesthetic, hypnotic, and psychiatric drugs as well as military NERVE GAS! Why, oh why then is it allowed to be added to the toothpastes and drinking water of the American people?

Historically, this substance was quite expensive for the worlds' premier chemical companies to dispose of - but in the 50's and 60's - Alcoa and the entire aluminum industry - with a vast overabundance of the toxic waste - SOMEHOW sold the FDA and our government on the insane (but highly profitable) idea of buying this poison at a 20,000% markup and then injecting it into our water supply as well as into the nation's toothpastes and dental rinse. Yes that's right folks, a 20,000% markup. Consider also that when sodium Fluoride is injected into our drinking water, its level is approximately 1 part-per-million (ppm), but since we only drink ½ of one percent of the total water supply, the hazardous chemical literally 'goes down the drain' and voila - the chemical industry has not only a free hazardous waste disposal system - but we have also PAID them handsomely in the process!!

Independent scientific evidence over the past 50 plus years has shown that sodium fluoride shortens our life span, promotes various cancers and mental disturbances, and most importantly, makes humans stupid, docile, and subservient, all in one neat little package. There is increasing evidence that aluminum in the brain is a causative factor in Alzheimer's Disease, and evidence points towards sodium fluoride's strong affinity to 'bond' with this dangerous aluminum (remember it is a byproduct of aluminum manufacturing) and also it has the ability to 'trick' the blood-brain barrier by imitating the hydrogen ion thus allowing this chemical access to brain tissue.

Honest scientists who have attempted to blow the whistle on sodium fluoride's mega-bucks propaganda campaign have consistently been given a large dose of professional 'black-listing' and thus their valid points disputing the current vested interests never have received the ink they deserve in the national press. Just follow the money to find the 'control' and you will find prominent American families to be prominent 'players' in the scandal. In 1952 a slick PR campaign rammed the concept of 'fluoridation' through our Public Health departments and various dental organizations. This slick campaign was more akin to a highly emotional "beer salesman convention" instead of the objective, scientifically researched program that it should have been. It has continued in the same vein right up to the present day - and now sodium fluoride use has now become 'usual and customary'.

To illustrate the emotional vs. the scientific nature of this issue, just look at the response given by people (perhaps yourself included?) when the subject of fluoridation comes up. You need to ask yourself, "Is this particular response based on EMOTIONS born of TRADITION, or is it truly unbiased and based instead on thoroughly researched objectivity?" There is a tremendous amount of emotional, highly unscientific "know-it-all" emotions attached to the topic of 'sodium fluoride' usage -but I personally have yet to find even ONE objective, double blind study that even remotely links sodium fluoride to healthy teeth at ANY AGE. Instead, I hear and read such blather as "9 out of 10 DENTISTS recommend 'fluoride' toothpaste" etc. etc. etc. Let me reiterate: truly independent (unattached to moneyed vested interest groups) scientists who've spent a large portion of their lives studying and working with this subject have been hit with a surprising amount of unfair character assassinations from strong vested-interest groups who reap grand profits from the public's ignorance as well as from their illnesses. (Just follow the money!)

Do you have diabetes and/or kidney disease? There are reportedly more than 11 million Americans with diabetes. If it is true that diabetics drink more liquids than other people, then according to the Physicians Desk Reference these 11 million people are at much higher risk drinking fluoridated water because they will receive a much deadlier dose because of their need for higher than normal water consumption. Kidney disease, by definition, lowers the efficiency of the kidneys, which of course is the primary means in which fluoride (or any other toxic chemical) is eliminated from the body. Does it not make sense that these people shouldn't drink fluoridated water at all? Cases are on record (Annapolis, Maryland, 1979) where ill kidney patients on dialysis machines died because they ingested relatively small amounts of SODIUM FLUORIDE from unwittingly drinking the 'fluoridated' city water supply? Will adequate warnings be given to people with weak kidneys, or will the real cause of such deaths be 'covered up' in the name of 'domestic tranquility'?

Concerning the 'practice' of putting sodium fluoride into drinking water, where did this insanity begin and WHO tried it first? From personal research, the very first occurrence of purposefully putting sodium fluoride into drinking water was in the German ghettos and in Nazi Germany's infamous prison camps. The Gestapo you see had little concern about sodium fluoride's 'supposed' effect on children's teeth; instead, their reason for mass-medicating water with sodium fluoride was to STERILIZE HUMANS and force the people in their concentration camps into calm, bovine, submission. (See for reference: "The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben" written by Joseph Borkin.) Kind of shocking isn't it folks!! Ah, but it gets even better.

The following letter was received by the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research, Milwaukee Wisconsin, on 2 October 1954, from a research chemist by the name of Charles Perkins. He writes:

"I have your letter of September 29 asking for further documentation regarding a statement made in my book, "The Truth about Water Fluoridation", to the effect that the idea of water fluoridation was brought to England from Russia by the Russian Communist Kreminoff. In the 1930's Hitler and the German Nazis envisioned a world to be dominated and controlled by a Nazi philosophy of pan-Germanism. The German chemists worked out a very ingenious and far-reaching plan of mass-control which was submitted to and adopted by the German General Staff. This plan was to control the population in any given area through mass medication of drinking water supplies. By this method they could control the population in whole areas, reduce population by water medication that would produce sterility in women, and so on. In this scheme of mass-control, sodium fluoride occupied a prominent place.

"Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluoride will in time reduce an individual's power to resist domination, by slowly poisoning and narcotizing a certain area of the brain, thus making him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him. [A convenient and cost-effective light lobotomy? --- Ott].

"The real reason behind water fluoridation is not to benefit children's teeth. If this were the real reason there are many ways in which it could be done that are much easier, cheaper, and far more effective. The real purpose behind water fluoridation is to reduce the resistance of the masses to domination and control and loss of liberty."

"When the Nazis under Hitler decided to go to Poland, both the German General Staff and the Russian General Staff exchanged scientific and military ideas, plans, and personnel, and the scheme of mass control through water medication was seized upon by the Russian Communists because it fitted ideally into their plans to communize the world."

"I was told of this entire scheme by a German chemist who was an official of the great I.G. Farben chemical industries and was also prominent in the Nazi movement at the time. I say this with all the earnestness and sincerity of a scientist who has spent nearly 20 years' research into the chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology of fluorine --- any person who drinks artificially fluorinated water for a period of one year or more will never again be the same person mentally or physically."

Signed: CHARLES E. PERKINS, Chemist, 2 October, 1954.

Another letter needs to be quoted at length as well to help corroborate Mr. Perkin's testimony. This letter was written by a brilliant (and objectively honest) scientist named Dr. E.H. Bronner. Dr. Bronner was a nephew of the great Albert Einstein, served time in a WWII prison camp and wrote the following letter printed in the Catholic Mirror, Springfield, MA, January 1952:

"It appears that the citizens of Massachusetts are among the 'next' on the agenda of the water poisoners.

"There is a sinister network of subversive agents, Godless intellectual parasites, working in our country today whose ramifications grow more extensive, more successful and more alarming each new year and whose true objective is to demoralize, paralyze and destroy our great Republic ---- from within if they can, according to their plan --- for their own possession."

"The tragic success they have already attained in their long siege to destroy the moral fiber of American life is now one of their most potent footholds towards their own ultimate victory over us."

"Fluoridation of our community water systems can well become their most subtle weapon for our sure physical and mental deterioration. As a research chemist of established standing, I built within the past 22 years 3 American chemical plants and licensed 6 of my 53 patents. Based on my years of practical experience in the health food and chemical field, let me warn: fluoridation of drinking water is criminal insanity, sure national suicide. DON'T DO IT!!"

"Even in very small quantities, sodium fluoride is a deadly poison to which no effective antidote has been found. Every exterminator knows that it is the most effective rat-killer. Sodium Fluoride is entirely different from organic calcium-fluoro-phosphate needed by our bodies and provided by nature, in God's great providence and love, to build and strengthen our bones and our teeth. This organic calcium-fluoro-phosphate, derived from proper foods, is an edible organic salt, insoluble in water and assimilable by the human body; whereas the non-organic sodium fluoride used in fluoridating water is instant poison to the body and fully water soluble. The body refuses to assimilate it."

"Careful, bonafide laboratory experimentation by conscientious, patriotic research chemists, and actual medical experience, have both revealed that instead of preserving or promoting 'dental health', fluoridated drinking water destroys teeth before adulthood and after, by the destructive mottling and other pathological conditions it actually causes in them, and also creates many other very grave pathological conditions in the internal organisms of bodies consuming it. How then can it be called a 'health plan'? What's behind it?"

"That any so-called 'Doctors' would persuade a civilized nation to add voluntarily a deadly poison to its drinking water systems is unbelievable. It is the height of criminal insanity!"

"No wonder Hitler and Stalin fully believed and agreed from 1939 to 1941 that, quoting from both Lenin's 'Last Will' and Hitler's Mein Kampf: "America we shall demoralize, divide, and destroy from within."

"Are our Civil Defense organizations and agencies awake to the perils of water poisoning by fluoridation? Its use has been recorded in other countries. Sodium Fluoride water solutions are the cheapest and most effective rat killers known to chemists: colorless, odorless, tasteless; no antidote, no remedy, no hope: Instant and complete extermination of rats."

"Fluoridation of water systems can be slow national suicide, or quick national liquidation. It is criminal insanity ------- treason!!"

Signed: Dr. E.H. Bronner, Research Chemist, Los Angeles

Apparently, the public outcry by Dr. Bronner and others precluded the fluoridation of public water systems for a season - but soon thereafter, the Food and Drug Administration allowed this deadly poison to be put in 'toothpaste', and our dentists were systematically brainwashed into providing 'fluoride treatments' to their many patients. Of course, today many major metropolitan areas have a minimum of 1 parts per million sodium fluoride systematically added to their water supply and more areas are seeking to add this poison every year. Add to this the fact that bottling companies (soft drinks, juices, etc.) use fluoridated water to make their products - is it any wonder that people can no longer think clearly and ask pertinent questions of their elected and ecclesiastical leaders? Is it also a mystery why so many top Nazi mind control scientists were brought to America by the CIA and their infamous 'Operation Paper Clip'?

If you believe all of this is 'just a coincidence' - go ahead and keep brushing your teeth with your 'fluoride' toothpaste and sucking on your sodium fluoride enhanced Coke or Pepsi product - for ignorance truly is bliss and you truly deserve what you get.

Mothers, if your little ones are having trouble concentrating at home or in school, or have been diagnosed as 'attention deficit' - perhaps you would be well advised to look for the culprit (and the solution to the problem) no further than your home medicine cabinet (your tube of toothpaste) and your friendly neighborhood school's water fountain!!

Vitamin D: Wonder Drug

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stated as law that "only a drug can be used to cure, prevent or treat a disease". This is the law in America and fast becoming the law all around the world. This law is factually untrue. Scientists, doctors, researchers and virtually all citizens around the world know that nutrients, food, herbs, minerals, and other things including laughter and thoughts had been used and are being used to treat, prevent and cure disease. The law, however, states that only a "drug" can be used to treat, cure, or prevent a disease! This law is a lie. The law has been put into effect not to protect citizens but rather to protect the profits of the pharmaceutical companies. This law creates a monopoly for the pharmaceutical companies to sell their drugs exclusively. This law prevents companies and individuals from sharing truthful research and knowledge about how food, herbs, vitamins, minerals, etc. can and are being used to treat, prevent and cure disease. The law is stopping the free-flow of opinions and truthful information about how inexpensive natural non-drug and non-surgical methods actually do in fact cure, prevent and treat a disease. This law has allowed a massive flow of misinformation about the exclusivity of drugs in the treatment, prevention and curing of disease. This law has stopped the dissemination of information to people about how in fact food and nutrients, herbs, massage, and other non-drug and non-surgical methods are actually more effective at treating, preventing, and curing disease than drugs and surgery without any of the side effects. For more information on how to change the law, go to: www.stopfdacensorship.org

One such nutrient is so powerful in curing and preventing disease that it would be classified as the most amazing wonder drug of all time. However, no one can state how this vitamin cures and prevents and treats disease because doing so might be considered breaking the law, and those companies or individuals who were to state that a vitamin can actually cure, prevent or treat a disease might be accused of committing a criminal offense. Remember the law says a vitamin cannot be used to treat, prevent, or cure a disease. Food cannot be used to treat, prevent, or cure disease. Thoughts cannot be used to treat, prevent, or cure disease. Massage cannot be used to treat, prevent, or cure disease. Herbs cannot be used to treat, prevent, or cure a disease. Acupuncture cannot be used to treat, prevent or cure disease. Nothing can be used to treat, prevent, or cure disease except an approved drug sold by a pharmaceutical company! That's the law. Saying otherwise might be considered a criminal act and might put you in jail EVEN THOUGH IT'S TRUE!

But I am exercising my First Amendment rights and am willing to risk prosecution (in violation of my First Amendment rights) to get this vital information out to you. Vitamin D is the amazing "wonder drug". Vitamin D is not a drug; Vitamin D is a vitamin, and I'm going to challenge the FDA and say the unthinkable. Vitamin D, a vitamin and not a drug, can be used to treat, prevent, and cure at least seven diseases better than any drug on the market! I've said it! I'm now risking jail! And you thought we lived in a free country.

Scientists have discovered that Vitamin D is different from other nutrients in the fact that it affects the entire body. Vitamin D has an effect on virtually every cell in the human body, in every organ, in every tissue, even bones. The uniqueness of Vitamin D is manifold. First, Vitamin D is actually created by the human body itself; this is the only vitamin that is created in the human body. The human body creates its own Vitamin D after exposure to light from the sun. The amount of exposure to sunlight to create the required amount of Vitamin D varies from person to person. A light skinned person would require 15 minutes in the sun; a very dark skinned person as much as an hour. More independent research is being conducted on the positive effects of Vitamin D and more importantly what happens to the body when there is a Vitamin D deficiency. Researchers and scientists are now realizing that all the sun blocks being used, sunglasses, and lack of time in the sun due to people's busy schedules has resulted in the majority of people being deficient in Vitamin D. Could this one single deficiency be a major contributing factor or even the cause of many diseases, ailments and even depression? The answer seems to be clear. When a person has a Vitamin D deficiency it leads to a whole host of common ailments and even severe diseases and illnesses. With a Vitamin D deficiency your bones can be weak and your immune system can be weak; this leads to catching more colds and flues, developing cold sores, lethargy, fatigue, muscle aches and pains, Osteoporosis, etc. Vitamin D deficiencies are prevalent in virtually every person who has cancer and heart disease. More research is being conducted on the correlation. Virtually all diabetics, people with multiple sclerosis, and lupus are deficient in Vitamin D. People who experience fibromyalgia or excessive chronic pain are also deficient in Vitamin D. Scientists around the world are realizing that Vitamin D deficiencies are more prevalent today than ever before in history. It's virtually epidemic proportions. The FDA's Vitamin D recommendations are so outdated that experts are calling for revisions in what are the acceptable required levels of Vitamin D for optimal body efficiency. This is not new with the U.S. Government. The USDA and the FDA for years have put together standards which include daily recommended allowances of various vitamins and minerals. These daily recommended allowances have constantly been changed and updated as more information becomes available. Years ago certain vitamins weren't even discovered; therefore, they were not on the recommended daily allowance list. Now we know that we need certain nutrients in order for optimal body efficiency and to prevent disease. It's ironic that the US Government on the one hand says that you need certain amounts of vitamins and minerals to prevent disease, but then on the other hand has a law that says only a drug can be used to treat, prevent, or cure a disease. It is imperative that you know and understand this basic concept: the best way to prevent disease is to make sure you have no nutritional deficiencies, eliminate toxins from the body, reduce or neutralize your exposure to electromagnetic chaos from cell-phones and other electronic and wireless devices, and reduce mental and emotional stress. Drugs are not the answer! For more information on Vitamin D deficiencies read Bob Barefoot's book, The Disease Conspiracy.

The best way to get Vitamin D is by getting out in the sun every day for at least 15 minutes. Ideally you should expose as much skin to the sun without any lotions or sunscreens and make sure you have no sunglasses. The next best way is through your food or supplements, such as cod liver oil. Remember vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other nutrients and co-factors must be in balance and proportion as nature intended. It's always best to get your nutrients from food that you eat, always organic and as close to as nature intended. Eating and adding more organic raw fruits and vegetables to your diet is the easiest and best way to get nutrients. The second best way is through whole food supplements not individual vitamins and minerals. In my newest book, More Natural Cures Revealed, the Previously Censored Brand Name Products that Cure Disease, I give you my specific product recommendations that I actually take myself. There are various whole food supplements that are simply concentrated food providing massive amounts of nutrients in the exact proportion nature intended. Many of these come from sea vegetables, rice bran, and other plants.

FDA outlaws vitamin D, seeks to destroy sun to protect Americans from sunlight (satire)

Posted Friday, August 18, 2006 by Mike Adams, Key concepts: Vitamin D, the FDA and sunscreen.

In a surprising move, the FDA has now banned the manufacture and use of vitamin D, citing studies that show vitamin D to be a powerful physiological substance that needs to undergo FDA approval before individuals are allowed to use it. Since sunlight exposure causes vitamin D production in the human body, individuals who intentionally expose themselves to sunlight will now be arrested and have their blood confiscated by federal health authorities. All citizens are advised to coat themselves with sunscreen every time they go out in the sun and avoid sun exposure until further notice.

Individuals caught seeking sunlight may be charged with not only possession, but trafficking of the vitamin D drug. DEA agents have been alerted and will be called in to arrest sunbathers. Sunscreen checkpoints will also be set up in public places where sunlight may occur, and any citizen who fails to test positive for the presence of sunscreen on their skin will be immediately arrested and charged with trafficking vitamin D.

Hat companies and sunscreen manufacturers hailed the FDA's decision.

The FDA has also alerted the news media to the fact that, since many fish contain vitamin D, the fish inventory in grocery stores around the country will be confiscated, and fish oil products will no longer be allowed on the market. "We have found fish to contain alarming levels of this dangerous, unapproved drug," said an FDA spokesperson.

To protect the U.S. population from the harmful effects of sunlight, the FDA is recommending that a giant, sun-blocking dome be built over the entire country. Funds to build the dome have already been promised by makers of cancer drugs, who stand to receive a windfall of profits once cancer explodes across the population due to universal vitamin D deficiencies.

Dubbed the "Merck dome," the inside of the dome will also display drug advertisements round-the-clock, allowing people to find the name of any drug they need simply by looking towards the sky. To appease likely complaints from astronomers unhappy with a giant dome blocking their view of the universe, Merck promises to paint pictures of the moon, planets and stars across the ceiling, mixed in with the pharmaceutical advertisements.

The FDA is also petitioning NASA to launch a mission to actually destroy the sun, thereby protecting humans from the dangers of ultraviolet radiation. All that is necessary for mainstream support of this agenda is for President Bush to declare the sun to be a terrorist in possession of nuclear weapons. "The sun is dangerous," the FDA said in a recent press release. "Just looking at it can make you go blind. What more proof do you need?"

All Americans who currently have inventory of vitamin D pills or fish oil supplements are being asked to turn them in at their nearest pharmacy or face still penalties. The FDA promises to dispose of all the supplements in a safe, responsible manner by feeding them to prisoners in a series of radical medical experiments.

In other news, the FDA said it was ready to grant approval to the newest anticancer drug, called Herceptin, which, quite miraculously, has been shown to reduce the risk of recurring breast cancer by almost 1 percent. The drug will soon be available by prescription at the low cost of $11,000 per year, per patient. Following the announcement of Herceptin, an FDA spokesperson said, "Why do we need to take risks with dangerous vitamin D when we have clinically proven products like Herceptin ready to be safely used by everyone?"

Top 10 Things Food Companies Dont' Want you to know

The top ten things food companies don't want you to know

Posted Monday, August 14, 2006 by Mike Adams, Key concepts: food companies, cancer and adhd.

food companies and cancerThe giant food corporations have one mission: selling more food and beverage products to consumers. Succeeding with that mission depends on keeping consumers in the dark on certain issues such as the presence cancer-causing chemicals found in popular food products.

Here are ten things the food corporations, whose products dominate grocery store shelves across the United States and other countries, absolutely do not want you to know.

1. The ingredients listed on the label aren't the only things in the food. Cancer-causing chemicals such as acrylamides may be formed in the food during high-heat processing, yet there's no requirement to list them on the label. Residues of solvents, pesticides and other chemicals may also be present, but also do not have to be listed. The National Uniformity for Food Act, currently being debated in the U.S. Congress, would make it illegal (yes, illegal) for states to require cancer warnings on foods that contain cancer-causing chemicals (such as California's Proposition 65.) See articles on the Food Uniformity Act.

2. Monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is added to thousands of food and grocery products through a dozen different innocent-sounding ingredients, imbalances endocrine system function, disabling normal appetite regulation and causing consumers to keep eating more food. This chemical not only contributes to nationwide obesity, it also helps food companies boost repeat business. See articles on MSG.

3. MSG is routinely hidden in foods in these ingredients: yeast extract, torula yeast, hydrolyzed vegetable protein and autolyzed yeast. Thousands of common grocery products contain one or more of these chemical taste enhancers, including nearly all "vegetarian" foods such as veggie burgers (read labels to check). See Food manufacturers hide dangerous ingredients in everyday foods by using confusing terms on the label.

4. ADHD in children is caused almost entirely by the consumption of processed food ingredients such as artificial colors and refined carbohydrates. Eighty percent of so-called ADHD children who are taken off processed foods are cured of ADHD in two weeks. See articles on ADHD

5. The chemical sweetener aspartame, when exposed to warm temperatures for only a few hours, begins to break down into chemicals like formaldehyde and formic acid. Formaldehyde is a potent nerve toxin and causes damage to the eyes, brain and entire nervous system. Aspartame has been strongly linked to migraines, seizures, blurred vision and many other nervous system problems. See articles on aspartame.

6. Most food dips (like guacamole dip) are made with hydrogenated oils, artificial colors and monosodium glutamate. Many guacamole dips don't even contain avocados.

7. Plastic food packaging is a potent health hazard. Scientists now know that plastics routinely seep the chemical bisphenol A into the food, where it is eaten by consumers. Cooking in plastic containers multiplies the level of exposure. Bisphenol is a hormone disruptor and can cause breast formation in men and severe hormonal imbalances in women. It may also encourage hormone-related cancers such as prostate cancer and breast cancer. See Plastics chemical bisphenol A found to promote prostate cancer in animal studies.

8. Milk produced in the United States comes from cows injected with synthetic hormones that have been banned in every other advanced nation in the world. These hormones help explain why unusually young teenage girls develop breasts at such a young age, or why hormone-related cancers like prostate cancer are being discovered in unprecedented numbers. In order to protect Monsanto, the manufacturer of hormones used in the industry, the USDA currently bans organic milk producers from claiming their milk comes from cows that were not treated with synthetic hormones. Even organic milk is now under fire as the Organic Consumers Association says Horizon milk products are falsely labeled as organic. See Horizon milk, Wild Oats named in consumer boycott of "false" organic products. (The solution to all this? Drink raw almond milk instead. Make it yourself with a Vitamix, water and a nut milk bag.)

9. Most grocery products that make loud health claims on their packaging are, in reality, nutritionally worthless (like meal replacement shakes, instant chocolate milk, etc.). The most nutritious foods are actually those the FDA does not allow to make any health claims whatsoever: fresh produce. See articles on food labeling.

10. Food manufacturers actually "buy" shelf space and position at grocery stores. That's why the most profitable foods (and hence, the ones with the lowest quality ingredients) are the most visible on aisle end caps, checkout lanes and eye-level shelves throughout the store. The effect of all this is to provide in-store marketing and visibility to the very foods and beverages that promote obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease and other degenerative conditions now ravaging consumers around the world. See articles on food marketing.

Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About

This is the information that "they" don't want you to know. The drug companies do not want you to know that virtually all non-prescription and prescription drugs are the number one cause of illness and disease in the world! The TV media does not want you to know this either because they receive so much advertising revenue from the drug companies they do not want to offend their number one source of profits. Additionally, the news media has officers and directors and shareholders that are directly financially tied to the drug industry. The US Government and governments around the world do not want you to know how dangerous drugs are either. They want the population to be heavily drugged, and the politicians are in office primarily because of the funding received from the drug industry. The drug industry today is the same as it has been throughout history. Go back and read about the opium trade between the British and China. The British used the opium trade to finance their imperialistic expansion around the world and to control the population of China. The Chinese leaders wanted the population to be heavily drugged on opium to keep them under total control and to ensure no uprising. Remember it's always all about the money, and remember the second thing after money, and in many cases before money, is power! Always remember the motivation why things occur. It's always about money, power, influence, prestige or status.

I recently appeared on CNBC's talk show, "The Big Idea" with Donny Deutsch. Donny is an excel-lent interviewer and is a very intelligent, articulate man. He is incredibly successful and comes from the advertising world where he built a huge successful advertising giant. Remember CNBC is a news station all about business. If you watch any of their news shows, you will see that there is much talk about the profitability of stocks and pharmaceutical companies. If you look at the amount of advertising revenue CNBC receives from the pharmaceutical companies, it's staggering. CNBC of course is a part of NBC, which of course is owned by GE, and the chain goes up from there. The officers and directors of GE are heavily financially tied to and have financial interests in the pharmaceutical industry as well as fast food and oil. This is the way it is on virtually every major conglomerate. When I appeared on CNBC, and was interviewed by Donny, he interrupted and cut off my sentence every single time I opened my mouth! It appeared that he was petrified that I would say certain things about the drug companies. In fact, the one moment I brought up the drug companies, he cut me off saying don't go there, don't go there, don't go there. That's the whole point folks. The news media doesn't want to "go there". Nobody wants to "go there". Well this is where we must go. Going there means talking about the financial conflict of interest with the drug companies. Going there means exposing how dangerous and deadly the drugs are. Going there is exposing that all the drug research and scientific evidence about drugs comes directly from the drug companies -- the companies themselves that actually sell the product and have a financial interest in getting you to buy it! Even independent research is funded by the drug companies. This is where nobody wants to go. But this is where we all need to go.

Nonprescription and prescription drugs are the number one cause of disease. Check out your medicine cabinet. You have a slew of nonprescription and prescription drugs. Everything from Neosporin®, Ex-Lax®, Advil®, Tylenol®, NyQuil®, Afrin®, etc. You have nonprescription drugs that you don't even think are drugs any more. You think they're just regular products. The fact is they are powerful dangerous drugs. Just because you don't need a prescription doesn't mean they're not incredibly dangerous. Just recently, as reported on Fox News, Tylenol® has now been determined to be a significant cause of liver damage. Another cause, of course, is the statin family of drugs, used for lowering cholesterol. This is vitally important. People have been popping Tylenol® like candy not realizing that it is affecting their liver in a negative way. Why is this important? When your liver is not operating properly, it instantly and automatically leads to a breakdown throughout the entire body and leads to illness and disease! This is the whole point. When you have an illness or disease, a medical doctor wants to give you some type of drug or surgical procedure to handle and address the symptoms you are experiencing. They do not ask "what's the cause". If they did, it almost always routes back to excess toxicity, which is caused by nonprescription and prescription drugs. If you have an illness and it can be linked back to a liver that's not operating properly, and then determined that the liver is not operating properly because of the Tylenol® you've been taking and the statins for lowering cholesterol like Lipitor®, you could then easily "cure your disease" by stopping the Tylenol® and the Lipitor®, taking care of your liver and strengthening it with herbs and nutrients under the care of a licensed healthcare practitioner, thus letting your body heal itself, normalize and then as if by magic your symptoms go away. Remember drugs do not heal anything, they just suppress symptoms by making the body do something unnatural. The body heals itself. Just recently researchers have been amazed that a man in a coma with incurable brain damage miraculously came out of his coma because the body miraculously and "impossibly" rebuilt the brain cells that scientists had said were beyond repair! You read this right. The body repaired brain cells that medical doctors and scientists had said could never be repaired. The body heals itself. If you are ill, do not believe that doctors heal you or drugs heal you, they do not, they suppress symptoms by making the body do something unnatural, and they actually cause illness and disease. If you have illness and disease, put the body back in balance by getting rid of the toxins, finding the cause of your disease, handling nutritional deficiencies, reducing stress, and allowing the body to repair and heal itself.
So what is the evidence that nonprescription and prescription drugs cause disease? - There is plenty. Remember the tobacco industry had knowledge that cigarette smoking caused disease as early as 1950. Even with that knowledge the tobacco company executives made the decision to lie and deceive the public and even congress about the dangers of cigarette smoking. They made a financial decision to let millions of people die so that they could make billions and billions of dollars in profits. The pharmaceutical industry is doing exactly the same thing. They conduct research on drugs in third world countries, watching people suffer and die from drug trials that are never made public. There was an actual movie describing this practice called The Constant Gardener; I highly recommend you watch it. It is in effect a true story. The drug companies have evidence and knowledge that nonprescription and prescription drugs cause disease. They're hiding this information from you and lying about it. Even so, independent reporters around the world are picking this up, finding the facts and evidence and reporting it. The Associated Press, Reuters, and other news organizations have articles exposing this. Even lawsuits are being filed. This information, however,
is being hidden from the public at large because it is not making front page news or making headlines on television news programs or radio news programs. The reason, as I mentioned before, is that the media, including TV, radio, and newspapers retain so much advertising profits from the drug industry that they cannot publicize the dangers of nonprescription and prescription drugs. The officers and directors also had major financial conflicts of interests and ties to the pharmaceutical industry so they do not want their newspapers, radio, and television entities disseminating information about the dangers and ineffectiveness of drugs. Let's go through a couple interesting articles. New York Times, April 22, 2006, describes the avalanche of drug lawsuits being filed against drug manufacturers for drugs that are causing severe medical problems and even death. Merck is dealing with over 11,500 lawsuits over the fact that they sold Vioxx®, a worthless painkiller that would not save one life, even though there is evidence that they knew that it might kill thousands or even hundreds of people. Many other companies are bracing for lawsuits over a number of other widely used medications. A hormone therapy drug manufactured by Wyeth called Prempro® has been linked to a series of diseases. Ortho-Evra®, a birth control patch, manufactured by Johnson & Johnson has now been found to cause a whole host of medical problems. The drug manufacturer, AstraZeneca, manufactured an antipsychotic drug called Seroquel®. This drug has been shown to cause weight gain and a host of other deadly diseases. Merck manufactured an Osteoporosis medication called Fosamax®, which has been linked to severe jaw decay.

These four drugs alone have annual sales of over seven billion dollars. They are used by millions of patients. These patients had been put at risk for stroke, breast cancer, weight gain, jaw decay, and a host of other side effects. The drug companies knew this. They didn't care. They simply cared about increasing profits. Ambien®, the widely used sleep medication, has major side effects that are now being discovered. This was reported in Yahoo news.

The antibiotic Tequin® manufactured by Bristol Myers Squibb causes severe blood sugar complications and is being pulled by the market. At least 20 people have died by taking this antibiotic in its proper dosage and over 150 people hospitalized. These are the known cases. Insiders tell me that they estimate virtually tens of thousands of people hospitalized after taking this medication and not knowing that their hospitalization or symptoms were caused by this widely used antibiotic. This was reported on MSNBC.
Both ABC News and the New York Times reported that GlaxoSmithKline in combination with the FDA sent a letter to doctors warning that the antidepressant Paxil® would increase suicide behavior in young adults. There are more side effects of Paxil® that are being revealed and will be published shortly.

Guidant pace makers and defibrillators have been found to have serious side effects. Lawsuits are going to be filed against the manufacturers.
The Osteoporosis class of drugs called Bisphosphonates, which has been used to prevent broken and deteriorating bones and cancer in Osteoporosis patients has now been shown to actually cause Osteoporosis in the areas of the jaw. It seems that drugs that are being given to prevent or treat Osteoporosis or the weakening of the bones are actually causing deterioration of the bones. This was reported in the New York Times and the Spartanburg Herald-Journal.

Yahoo News reported that headache drugs actually give people headaches. It appears that several types of drugs used for migraine headaches, as well as other types of pain killers, actually increase headaches and cause other, potentially lethal, medical side effects.
The Journal of the American Medical Association, USA Today, and Yahoo News reported that antidepressant drugs such as Prozac® actually increase the risk of Type II Diabetes. It was also discovered that Prozac®, which was used to treat anorexia was found to be absolutely worthless in the treatment of anorexia and actually caused eating disorders.

Pfizer's drug for lowering cholesterol, Lipitor®, has now been shown to cause lasting muscle damage! This is one of the most widely used drugs in the world and has already been known to cause liver problems. Over twelve billion dollars a year is generated for Pfizer with the sale of Lipitor®. The research now shows that Lipitor® causes pain, weakness, and memory problems. It also causes pain, fatigue, and
tingling sensation in both hands and feet as well as degeneration of muscle mass and liver problems. Lipitor® absolutely makes the body unhealthy and leads to a series of diseases. This was reported in Yahoo News.

Vaccines cause disease as reported by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. There are over 50 poisonous elements in vaccines. The most poisonous is the mercury laced Thimerosal. However, it has been reported that all vaccines cause disease.
Prostate cancer treatments are unnecessary and actually harmful. As reported in the British Journal of Cancer and Yahoo News prostate cancer treatments result in serious side effects including impotence and incontinence.

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons has reportedly concluded that the measles vaccine is the cause of Autism. Additionally, vaccines have now been shown to cause serious intestinal inflammation.

Lawsuits are being filed against the manufacturers of Ritalin®, Prozac®, Adderall®, Zoloft®, Neurontin®, Concerta®, Lexapro®, Effexor®, and Strattera®. It is now proven that these drugs all have serious side effects resulting in a host of illnesses including potential heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, and other disease.

Rheumatoid Arthritis drugs Humira® and Remicade® may double your risk of getting serious infection and triple your risk of developing various kinds of cancer. These drugs have also been shown to cause lymphoma, tuberculosis, and pneumonia. New research now shows that these drugs also lead to skin, gastrointestinal, breast, and lung tumors. This was reported in US Today, MSNBC, and The Journal of the American Medical Association.

Blood pressure drugs linked to major birth defects. As reported on AOL News, blood pressure medications previously thought to be safe now are shown to raise major birth defects as well as cause a host of other problems including heart attack and stroke - you're reading this right. People take high blood pressure medication to reduce their risk of heart attack and stroke but the research now shows that it actually increases your risk of heart attack and stroke as well as causing severe birth defects.

The bottom line is nonprescription and prescription drugs cause disease. If you want to be healthy, if you want to cure symptoms you have, you must stop taking nonprescription and prescription drugs. If you go to a doctor who gives you prescription or nonprescription drugs to take for simple symptoms, go to another doctor. Go to www.naturalcures.com and find a licensed healthcare practitioner in your area who does not use drugs and surgery. Medical doctors have no knowledge or training in alternatives to drugs and surgery. Remember they are paid to give you drugs. The more drugs they prescribe, the more money they make from the drug companies. They have both a financial conflict of interest to give you drugs and they don't have any knowledge or information about alternatives.

ADD and ADHD cured! If you have children who are experiencing symptoms that have been classified as Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, you must know that your children are not suffering from a deficiency in Ritalin® or some other psychiatric prescribed drug. If your children are experiencing symptoms such as hyperactivity, inability to be attentive, inability to learn or grasp new information, there could be a host of potential reasons. First, the children could be growing at a rate that is not normal. This could be caused by meat and dairy products. Meat and dairy products are loaded with bovine growth hormone. This hormone causes children to grow at an abnormal rate. This could be one of the causes. Avoid all meat and dairy that has bovine growth hormone in it. Only feed your children meat and dairy that is organic without bovine growth hormone. Another cause is nitrites in food. Many sandwich meats, hotdogs are loaded with nitrites causing extra brain activity resulting in symptoms called ADHD. Additionally, artificial sweeteners such as Splenda® and Nutrasweet® have been linked to the ADD and ADHD symptoms. Aspartame is found in almost all snack food. Splenda® is also rampant. Please read the labels. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) also falls into this category of excito-toxins and when consumed by young children causes this type of behavior and symptoms. MSG is loaded in fast foods such as Taco Bell, McDonalds, Burger King, even Pizza Hut. If your children eat fast food, they're being loaded with monosodium glutamate and other excito-toxins. If they eat hotdogs and lunchmeats, they are being loaded with nitrites. If they eat snack foods, such as potato chips, Doritos, corn chips, or other type of snacks, they are loaded with monosodium glutamate. If they drink any type of diet or "sugar free" product, they are being loaded with artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda® or Aspartame. These all can be a cause of ADD and ADHD. Simply eliminating these from the diet can in a matter of days correct the symptoms. The University of Adelaide in Australia also found that children who have severe symptoms of ADHD are deficient in omega 3's. Omega 3's can be found in fish oils. When you are deficient in omega 3's, depression also exists. Supplementing your children's diet with fish oils can be very effective at solving the ADD phenomenon combined with simple dietary changes. Remember drugs are not the answer. ADHD drugs cause serious side effects including insomnia, personality changes, suicidal thoughts, heart attacks, stroke, sudden death, and depression. It also stunts the growth and leads to major psychological and physiological problems later in life. Remember ADHD drugs are more powerful than cocaine. One of the most effective ways to get omega 3's is by taking krill oil.

Handy "Eat-to-Beat-Stress" Hints

Ice cream seems like a quick fix, but you're better off making some wise stress-busting diet choices such as:


* Eating oatmeal, which provides more of all the B-Vitamins (except for pantothenic acid), than black beans, brown rice, or whole grain bread.

* Trying dried apricots to help keep blood sugar levels even. Stress causes the body to release hormones that cause blood sugar levels to fluctuate, triggering cravings and anxiety.

* Anxiety is associated with deficiency in the mineral selenium; one T chopped Brazil nuts, or 3 nuts, will provide you with your entire 200 mcg. daily requirement; almonds, pecans and walnuts contain 6, 6, & 21 respectively.

* Culinary herbs like basil, ginger and thyme contain mild sedative compounds, but according to experts, cooking them destroys those calming compounds; so, try eating raw in a salad.

* Stress suppresses the immune system; boost immunity by getting at least 200 mg. of Vitamin C daily: 1 C halved strawberries = 86 mg., 1 kiwi = 74 mg., and 1 C of pineapple chunks = 24 mg.

* To end your day, brew a cup of chamomile, lemon balm or valerian tea, which all contain anti-anxiety compounds. Steep the herb (1 tea bag, 3 T fresh or 1-2 tsp. dried) in covered cup of water; strain after 5 min., drink and enjoy (or, drink 1-3 cups throughout your day).

Safe Cheap Alternative to Birth Control Pills/patch/shots

As controversial and this seems at first, I feel that Birth control pills and tampons harm women's health and exploits them by profiting off of women for the bulk of her life is not something worth the advocacy or promotion by the women's rights movement, and definately not worth your money. Paying for pills and tampons your whole life may be very costly - to your wallet and your health. Thousands of women die every year or develop other conditions from birth control pills. The use of absorbable tampons create all sorts of issues for women - of which i've known about for a while. But up until two hours ago I was left in the dark about a product that makes toxic, deadly, and carcinogenic birth control pills completely unnecessary!

Here I'll just list some of the risks and alternatives to tampons and birth control products. You can either spend sixy dollars once in your life for all your menstral and birth control needs - and never risk death or side-effects - or you can spend thousands of dollars on tampons and BC pills your whole life, as well as thousands more on trying to cure whatever side-effect you develop from the long-term use of BC pills. The choice is yours. If i've convinced just one of you to do the research and you wind up purchasing any of the products, I'd love to know and i'd also love to hear a follow up testimonial please!


Birth Control Pill/Shot/Patch/etc*
-Linked to bone thiness/osteoperosis/osteoarthritis, blod clots, mood swings, weight gain, yeast infections, breast and other cancers, embolisms, stroke, birth defects, cramping and irregular periods, migranes, breast tenderness. Birth control pills can also deplete very important nutrients, including vitamins B2, B6 and B12.

The birth control industry is a $2.8 Billion dollar industry and the pharmaceutical companies keep coming out with new products that they can implant under your skin, or that change your cycle so you only get one or two periods each year. They test on and kill animals in the process, and also without properly assessing the health risks for humans. Many birth control products have been recalled years after killing thousands of women or causing other disorders.

Birth control pills work by promoting continuous high levels of estrogen in a woman's body. Science tells us this is dangerous. A woman's natural cycle is composed of rising and falling levels of estrogen and progesterone. Birth control pills work by keeping estrogen at a sufficiently high level that they fool the body into thinking it is pregnant, therefore another pregnancy cannot occur. It is not even 100% effective, but it has sooooo many health risks!

Alternatives to Birth Control Pill/shot/patch: Besides the obvious condoms, diaphram, and spermicides, here's a new one I'd like to spread awareness about: The Creighton Model Fertility Care System (CrM). It uses the science-based modality of NaPro Technology (NaPro), a women's health science that evolved from interpreting the biomarkers of the menstrual and fertility cycle, mainly, all the stages of cervical mucus and the length and intensity of the menstrual flow. See: http://www.naprotechnology.com. This technology can concurrently address all gynocological issues - anything from preventing needs to hysterectomies to preventing and curing cervical sists/cancer.

For the cost of one months worth of birth control pills, you can have a safe and even more reliable method of checking to see if you are fertile. Here's how it works: During a woman's menstrual cycle, there are only about three days when her egg is available for fertilization. Sperm can survive up to 72 hours (3 days) in the vagina and uterus, so if sexual intercourse occurs up to three days before a woman is fertile, she can still potentially become pregnant. Thus, there are about six days per month (3 days prior to fertility, and 3 days of fertility) that a woman can conceive.

It is scientifically well established that hormones filter into saliva and that during fertility a ferning pattern can be seen in saliva under a high powered magnification lens. Just prior to or during fertile days the sample will typically resemble "ferns," while during non-fertile days, only random and shapeless dots will be visible.

The Ovu-Tech is a hand-held mini-magnification lens about the size and shape of a lipstick holder. If you want to check whether you may be fertile, you simply:

1. Make sure you haven't had anything to eat or drink for 2 hours.
2. Put a small amount of saliva on the lens and allow it to dry.
3. Insert the lens into the magnification lens and push a little button to illuminate the lens.

If you are just about to become fertile or if you are fertile, you will easily see a beautiful crystalline ferning pattern under the magnification lens. This is an easy and convenient way for you to monitor your hormonal changes and enhance your awareness of your menstrual cycle. If you track your cycles and fertility on a calendar, soon you will have a keen awareness of where you are in your monthly cycle, and what is happening hormonally in your body.

Cycle awareness can be especially helpful for women who tend to have anovulatory cycles (no ovulation occurs and thus there is infertility, and no progesterone is made). If you know that you haven't ovulated in any given cycle, and thus your ovary won't be producing progesterone, you can then supplement with progesterone that month and avoid estrogen dominance symptoms such as PMS.

The ovulation kits that measure hormones in urine to determine fertility tend to be expensive, messy, and can only be used once. In contrast, at the cost of not much more than one ovulation kit, the Ovu-Tech can be used over and over, and has a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.

Risks of Tampons
-Linked to the rare but fatal toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Tampons are bleached white with toxic chlorine so as to be associated with cleanliness. However, the vagina is continually self-cleansing. It naturally washes away dead cells and bacteria. This is disrupted when the tampon absorbs all the moisture. Infections can occur when debris is not flushed out. Absorbency enhancers in tampons can cause peeling of the mucous membrane, vaginal dryness, ulcers, and lesions. Perfumes and fragrances in some tampons are reported to cause internal irritation, allergic reactions, and disruptions of a woman's microbial balance. Vaginal inflammation can result from fibers from tampons becoming embedded in vaginal walls, and tampons made chiefly of rayon have some levels of dioxin at levels which have been found to adversely affect reproductive and immune systems.

These environmentally unfriendly disposable products also continually take money out of a woman's paycheck from puberty until she reaches menopause. Now wonder they fought so hard for women to have equality in the workplace, women need to work more at their job to pay for feminine hygene products because women have special needs!

M&M/Mars Support Vivisection

Mars Uncovered

Strong relationships are being forged between UK and US research
establishments. According to a report written by Sir G R of Oxford
University and entitled 'International Partnerships of Research
Excellence
- UK-USA Academic Collaboration', a key figure in the US in this
collaboration has been Dr Harold Schmitz, the Technical Director of
Mars
Inc. Mars has also funded research at Oxford University to the tune of
£235,002.74 in 2004/05.



Oxford University is clearly reaping the rewards of these increasing
partnerships. One such partnership is with The Scripps Research
Institute,
which is the largest private research institution in the United States
and
is well known for conducting the most horrific experiments on non-human
animals. For more information click on the link:
http://www.speakcampaigns.org.uk/articles/20051122dirty_dealings.php

Partnerships also exist between the UK Ministry of Defence and the US
Homeland Security, and Oxford University has once again benefited
directly
from these close partnerships. In 2004/05 Oxford University received a
substantial amount of money from the US Military, and, of course, part
of
the money was used to conduct animal-based experiments:

United States Army £339,986.00
United States Department of Defence £142,094.62
United States Air Force £117,152.43
United States Naval Research Laboratory £81,450.79

One of the experiments that was funded by the US Air Force and
published
in 2004 comprised of two rhesus monkeys having metal coils implanted
near
the eyes. The coils were wired up to the eye in order to monitor eye
movement. Let’s not forget that George was also used in eye
experiments.
The two rhesus monkeys
were
then fitted with head restraints and
forcefully restrained in primate chairs. During the experiments the
monkeys were given rewards of water, which would suggest that they were
deprived of water for long periods of time before the experiments took
place in order to make them compliant during the experiment. Of course
the
water reward would only be given if the monkeys did what the
vivisectors
wanted them to do - which almost certainly means the monkeys would have
been severely dehydrated before the experiments took place [1].
Interestingly, the research was conducted by none other than Colin
Blakemore, who has built a career out of blinding kittens. For more on
Blakemore’s fraudulent career click on the link:
http://www.speakcampaigns.org.uk/articles/20050227blakemore.php

Lets also not forget that Mars Inc, who are also known
as
Masterfoods
in
Europe, are a manufacturer of pet foods, such as Bounce, Cesar,
Chappie,
Frolic, James Wellbeloved, Katkins, Kitekat, Pal, Pedigree Chum, Royal
Canin, Sheba, Techni-cal (US & Canada), Whiskas. Pedigree (part of Mars
Inc) also manufactures Thomas rabbit food and Trill bird food. Mars Inc
are also responsible for killing many animals, mainly cats and dogs at
their research centre in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. Non-human
animals
are forced to spend their entire lives as experimental tools, enduring
years of research so that Mars Inc can produce pet foods and make
millions
in profits from sales to consumers who live with and have loving
relationships with animals not unlike those behind the walls of the
Mars
research laboratories.

Mars Inc's best selling confectionary products include: M&M's,
Snickers,
and the Mars bar. Its other products include 3 Musketeers, Dove,
Milky
Way,
Skittles, Twix, and Starburst sweets. They are also the makers of
Combos and Kudos snacks and Uncle Ben's rice.

As part of the 'George Week of Action' why not organise demos against
Mars
Inc premises in your area. Don’t forget, Mars Inc are not only
responsible
for killing animals at their own experimental research centre, but are
also helping to organise greater scientific co-operation between the US
and UK research establishments, which undoubtedly includes animal based
research. Not only that: Mars Inc are also helping to fund research
projects at Oxford University. Whatever way you look at it, Mars Inc
(Masterfoods) have blood on their hands.

Animal Enterprise Terrorism

A bill is pending in the House and Senate right now, H.R. 4239 and S. 1926, also known as the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, that would devastate the animal rights community. If this bill goes into law, it would effectively make it a crime to engage in non-violent actions similar to those employed by civil rights heroes such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Susan B. Anthony and Mahatma Gandhi if those actions result (albeit indirectly) in loss of profits for the affected business(es).

The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act would make it illegal to cause a loss of profits to any business which is considered an "animal enterprise," including factory farms, vivisection labs, circuses, fur farms and other businesses which routinely inflict unimaginable suffering on animals who cannot speak to defend themselves. Even if the loss in profits to the company results from peaceful protests, effective boycotts or media campaigns, under the language of this law, it could be interpreted as a violation which could impose a hefty prison sentence of several years. This bill is clearly unconstitutional and violates First Amendment freedom of speech.

Take action today to fight for your right to protest. We can not let government quiet our voices for the animals! Call the House and Senate and make sure they oppose H.R. 4239 and S. 1926!
