Five things you can do right now to help stop the economic plundering of our world

(NaturalNews) The economic plundering of our world is well under way, with the Goldman Sachs “white shoe boyz” taking over entire national economies as they confiscate the wealth of the working class. They aren’t the only evildoers wreaking havoc across the world, of course: A cabal of powerful and criminally-insane corporations are destroying the future of food, plotting to keep citizens suffering from disease, and even perpetuating war so they can earn obscene profits from selling more bullets, bombs and missiles. You can help resist this economic imperialism by taking simple actions that protect your wealth and pull it out of the hands of the globalists who are actively destroying our world. Here are five of the most powerful action steps to take that can turn the tables and restore economic sovereignty at every level — household, community, state, nation and the entire globe. #1) Shop at local farmers’ markets, food co-ops and local grocers Stop buying Tyson chicken. Stop buying Monsanto-engineered GMO foods at the grocery store. Stop giving your money to food industry globalists such as ADM, Cargill and PepsiCo. Every time you buy a can of brand-name soda, a carton of genetically modified soy milk, or a bag of popular snack chips, you are financially supporting a system of global agricultural poverty and food domination that destroys life and liberty. If you shop based solely on price and not ethics, you are take part in the economic destruction of our world. Shop local, buy organic and avoid all the corporate food giants and their deceptive, dishonest packaged foods. Remember: If the food you eat comes in a box, your family and friends will eventually find YOU in a box, too. #2) Pull your money out of the big banks and put it in local credit unions When you deposit $1,000 in a globalist bank, they can turn around and, through a series of fractional reserve banking transactions, turn that into $9,000 in loans that earn them interest. Inversely, by pulling $1,000 out of a globalist bank (JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, Bank of America, etc.), you deny them the ability to make $9,000 in loans, thus shrinking their profits by a significant factor. One of the most powerful and honest strategies you can use to protect your own savings and stop financially supporting the global financial crooks who are running the largest banks is to move your money to a local credit union . Most credit unions, by law, cannot bet on derivatives. So they don’t have the $68+ TRILLION in financial exposure that Bank of America has right now, for example. (http://seekingalpha.com/article/301260-bank-of-america-dumps-75-trillion-in-derivatives-on-u-s-taxpayers-with-federal-approval) Of course, your local credit unions are normally not insured by the FDIC, but that’s actually a bonus because the FDIC will itself be insolvent in the first 24 hours of a true banking debt collapse (its own funds are a pittance compared to the scale of the global derivatives debt possessed by the banks it claims to insure). (http://seekingalpha.com/article/215209-bank-failures-driving-fdic-to-insolvency) You’re far smarter holding your money in a local credit union covered by an independent insurance agency that has nothing to do with the large global banks and their coming derivatives disasters. #3) Stop working for The Man as a wage slave If you punch a clock working for The Man, then you’re part of the problem. Every hour of your effort goes to keep propping up the very system that’s bringing you down. It’s difficult, of course, to find work these days, and it’s absolutely true that The Man pays double or even triple the wages of anyone else. Heck, even TSA jobs come with great pay, government health benefits, and the “administrative right” to sexually molest innocent people, which is a real bonus to some of the disturbed psychopaths who take those jobs in the first place. (http://www.naturalnews.com/034323_National_Organization_for_Women_TSA_illegal_searches.html) If you want to stop working for The Man, you are going to have to downsize your material wealth and instead be content to possess spiritual wealth (and ethical currency, so to speak). Yes, you might live in a smaller house and drive a smaller car, but you won’t have to sell out your soul to an evil system of tyranny and oppression. So if you’re currently punching a clock for some evil corporation, some tyrannical government entity, or some poison-pushing pharmaceutical company, find a new line of work and stop supporting the very system that’s destroying us all. #4) Trade soon-to-be-useless paper currency for real goods Are you still sitting on a bunch of paper currency and hoping it will somehow be worth the same amount in five years? Stop kidding yourself… the value of all the top global currencies is eroding by the hour. At times, it seems like it’s not happening because they’re all eroding together, so the relative valuation between currencies appears to be deceptively stable. But underneath it all, global currency devaluation has viciously accelerated — and both the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve are committed to printing even more counterfeit currency to further speed the process. By the time all the European banks are bailed out, and the U.S. banks are bailed out, and the Canadian and Australian banks are bailed out, if you’re still left holding hyper-inflated currencies like the U.S. dollar, you’re going to be lucky to still own ten cents on the dollar in terms of today’s purchasing power. That’s why smart people are exchanging their soon-to-be-worthless currencies for real things that hold real value: Dirt (farmland), gold, silver, quality firearms, stored food, hand tools, tractors and much more. We recently ran an article promoting Himalayan Salt Lamps which are an easy way to store 3-4 pounds of valuable full-spectrum salt while also using it as a lamp in the short term. All 1,000 of the lamps we had sold out within 6 hours , which just goes to show you that NaturalNews readers are getting it (http://www.naturalnews.com/NNStore-HolidaySpecials.html). They understand the value of having things of real worth rather than sitting on mere dollars (or the electronic equivalent thereof). #5) Stop voting for politicians funded by Wall Street bankers This is perhaps the most important — and yet most difficult — principle of all: Stop voting for politicians and bureaucrats who are propped up by banker money. It’s almost impossible to do, of course, since nearly all the politicians — across the political spectrum — take big money from the big banking cartels. Obama himself is deeply in bed with Wall Street interests, but so was Bush and others. Herman McCain, who thankfully dropped out of the Republican race just a couple of days ago, was a Federal Reserve insider. You couldn’t pick a more compromised candidate to try to fix the economy when he’s part of the very system of theft that’s destroying it! The only real candidate who would challenge the economic plunder of our world is, of course, Ron Paul (www.RonPaul2012.com). He’s the guy who has stood firm on the principle of auditing the Fed and even ending the Fed so that the money supply of America can be put back into the hands of the Congress (i.e. the People) and not a private bankster cartel run by globalist crooks. Do these five things now if you want to help save your nation from total economic destruction Right now, whether you are Republican, Democrat or Libertarian, one of the most patriotic things you can do to save your nation is follow these five steps and start redirecting your financial resources away from the globalists and toward your local community. Support small, local businesses. Support local financial institutions. Don’t buy the stock of evil corporations, even if they pay financial dividends. Vote for candidates who operate with consistent ethics, not the ones who give the slickest speeches and promise the most handouts. Put your time, money and effort into restoring your nation or you will lose your nation. Every dollar that you spend, save or invest in a profit-driven bank or evil corporate giant is a dollar that will one day be used to wage economic warfare against you and your own children . Think about what you’re doing. Save yourself, my friends, because all the other big players out there would far prefer to enslave you than set you free.

US Constitution repealed by traitorous Senators; ‘Republican party now the Gestapo party’ says observer

(NaturalNews) The mainstream media doesn’t want you to know about this story even though it is arguably the single most important story of the year in terms of impacting your future as a free citizen. Yesterday as part of the National Defense Authorization Act , the U.S. Senate voted to repeal the Constitution and its Bill of Rights by authorizing the U.S. military to operate on U.S. soil, conduct secret kidnappings of American citizens and throw them in secret military prisons where they will be “legally” tortured, interrogated and murdered. All that is required for this to take place is the allegation that you are somehow linked to something resembling “terrorism.” There is no due process and no evidence whatsoever required. And this is all being give the thumbs up by the traitorous U.S. Senate, led by Republicans like Sen. John McCain who should know a thing or two about secret prisons. You won’t find any real coverage of this story in the mainstream media, which has predictably sided with tyranny while blacking out this story for reasons you can only imagine. So I’ve collected some of the more important videos and articles you need to see in order to understand what’s happening with this issue and why America is about to descend in an overt, in-your-face military police state run by militant Republican tyrants. If you thought Bush was bad, just wait until a Republican wins the election in 2012 and then uses this law to declare open war on the American people… Here are some videos and articles you need to see: Paul Craig Roberts on RT America http://www.prisonplanet.com/paul-craig-roberts-congress-is-repealing-the-constitution.html “We now have a Republican party that is a Gestapo party…” Stewart Rhodes on InfoWars Nightly News http://www.prisonplanet.com/paul-craig-roberts-congress-is-repealing-the-constitution.html ACLU – Senate Poised to Pass Indefinite Detention Without Charge or Trial http://www.aclu.org/national-security/senate-poised-pass-indefinite-detention-without-charge-or-trial “The bill is an historic threat to American citizens and others because it expands and makes permanent the authority of the president to order the military to imprison without charge or trial American citizens… The Moral Liberal – Indefinite Detention and the Free Society http://www.themoralliberal.com/2011/12/01/indefinite-detention-and-the-free-society/ “The government shouldn’t be allowed to imprison people indefinitely without charge or trial. It shouldn’t be necessary to say this nearly 800 years after the Magna Carta was signed and over 200 years after the Fifth Amendment was ratified… WIRED Magazine – Senate Wants the Military to Lock You Up Without Trial http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/12/senate-military-detention/ Paul Joseph Watson – Indefinite Detention Bill Passes Senate 93-7 http://www.prisonplanet.com/indefinite-detention-bill-passes-senate-93-7.html “The Senate last night codified into law the power of the U.S. military to indefinitely detain an American citizen with no charge, no trial and no oversight whatsoever…” Mercury News – U.S. military shouldn’t be the ‘police, judge and jailer http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_19451274 “It is an insult to our nation’s values — the kind of thing we protest when it happens in China and other dictatorships…” Now you know what the FEMA camps are for This is a message to all those trolls and morons who have been attacking all of us freedom defenders for the past several years: Now you know the FEMA camps are true! Where do you think the U.S. military planned to put all these U.S. citizens they round up under this new law? The FEMA camps, of course! We’ve got the entire censored episode of Jesse Ventura’s “Conspiracy Theory” that reveals these FEMA camps in full detail. Watch it now with renewed knowledge of why these internment camps have been constructed across the USA: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=CFB1CAFAADB65C1EF25BE43D7910BD27 All this harkens back to World War II and the Japanese internment camps set up on U.S. soil, followed by the military rounding up of Japanese citizens: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_American_internment You think they won’t do it again? Then why did they just pass a bill declaring the entire USA to be a “battleground” and opening the door for the military to operate in U.S. cities and streets? Liberals and conservatives, we should all be Constitutionalists The other thing I’m fed up with in all this — so I’m going to voice it right here — is all the liberals who whine about those of us who defend liberty and work to protect the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights. A lot of liberals say they think the Constitution is “outdated.” Well guess what? Sen. John McCain agrees with you! And he’s trying to make it legally obsolete so U.S. troops can kidnap you at gunpoint and you have no legal right to say no. People, the Bill of Rights is the only thing keeping you alive right now , especially for the liberals who don’t usually own firearms to protect themselves. It’s the Republicans who are trying to destroy the Bill of Rights these days, don’t you get it? All the liberals and progressives reading this should be opposing McCain and the other treasonous Republican Senators who are pushing this “indefinite detainment of American citizens” tyranny. We should ALL be Constitutionalists — Republican and Democrat, conservative, liberal, libertarian and the undecided. Do you understand that without the Bill of Rights, we are nothing but a military dictatorship run by a bunch of bankster criminals? Get this through your thick skulls, all you Anderson Cooper-watching zombies: Suppose this bill gets signed into law by Obama, who says “I’ll never use it on American citizens.” But then suppose an evil globalist like Newt Gingrich gets elected into office in 2012. Care to guess what he’ll do with this bill? He will simply declare marijuana to be a “tool of terrorism” and then unleash the U.S. military on California pot dispensaries , using armed troops to round up everybody who smokes a little weed, then throwing them in secret U.S. military prisons where they are subjected to torture. No charges, no public defense attorneys, no due process, no accountability whatsoever. All 100% legal because it was voted into law by the traitorous U.S. Senate. You think this couldn’t happen in America? Wake up, people: The Patriot Act was passed with the promise that it would “never be used against Americans” and was only for “terrorists,” right? But now up to 90% of the Patriot Act prosecutions are being leveled against American citizens for things that have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism. (http://infowars.net/articles/december2005/091205Patriot_act.htm) Get it through your heads, folks: When you hand more power to Big Government, that government always — ALWAYS — abuses that power . The whole point of the Bill of Rights was the limit government power so that it could not engage in secret arrests, torture, assassinations, indefinite detention and other tactics used by nations like North Korea, China and Cuba. But with this Senate bill, the USA will become a lot like North Korea, which is filled with secret prisons. All the things we in the USA complain about other nations doing to their innocent citizens — illegal arrests, torture, etc. — will be LEGAL under U.S. law! Gee, does that mean the UN should now invade the United States and fund rebels to overthrow our government in the same way that it did with Egypt and Libya? The complaints against the tyrant dictators of those nations, by the way, pale in comparison to what the United States is about to unleash on its own citizens. So I’m curious of Hillary Clinton will organize a United Nations invasion of America to “protect the innocent protestors” like we do with other nations? The full list of the traitorous, criminal U.S. Senators who voted for this bill The U.S. Senators who voted for this bill are now unindicted traitors and criminals who have openly attempted to destroy the very U.S. Constitution they swore allegiance to. Notice how this list is dominated by Republicans? All these Senators should now be publicly arrested and tried for seditious acts by a jury of their peers — a lawful right they would deny you!

Rick Perry loses his mind during national debate, can’t name third federal agency to shut down

(NaturalNews) Rick Perry is now history as a Presidential candidate. No one wants a President who can’t even remember what he stands for, and during last night’s debates, Texas Governor Rick Perry proved himself to be frighteningly absentminded. Watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6an4zSj8LhU Perry: “And I will tell you, it’s three agencies of government when I get there that are gone. Commerce, education, and the uh… uh… what’s the third one there? Let’s see…” Then Ron Paul, who of course actually knows what he’s talking about, says, “You need five!” Perry: “Oh, five? Okay. Commerce, education, and uh, the uh… uh…” Another candidate suggests, “EPA?” Perry: “EPA, there you go, no.” Then the mainstream media guy running the debate says, “Seriously? Is EPA the one you were talking about?” Perry: “No sir. We were talking about the uh… agencies of government… EPA needs to be rebuilt…” Media guy: “But you can’t name the third one?” Perry: “The third agency of government I would do away with the education, uh, the uh… commerce, uh… let’s see, the… I can’t, the third one. The third one I can’t, sorry.” This truly pathetic performance made the front page of the Drudge Report this morning, which featured a link to the 53 seconds of video that will likely go down in history as the moment the whole nation realized Rick Perry was not mentally qualified to be President. Watch it again at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6an4zSj8LhU Ron Paul’s message never changes and is never forgotten The thing about lying all the time as a Governor is that sooner or later all those lies become too difficult to sort out, and your brain goes on the fritz. It’s so much easier to just tell the truth, isn’t it? Ron Paul’s message remains consistent and simple: End the Fed. Cut a trillion dollars out of the federal budget. Restore liberty. Get the government out of our private lives. It’s not hard to remember because it’s based on core, fundamental principles upon which our nation was founded. Ron Paul needs no teleprompters to give a speech. He needs no cue cards to answer a question on live television. And most of the time when he’s talking to the press, he’s schooling the reporters on fundamental economics, bringing them up to speed on the way reality operates. Here at NaturalNews, we endorse only one candidate for President, and that’s Ron Paul. Not as a Republican or a Democrat, but as a person with wisdom and character, a person who tells the truth, and a person who stands head and shoulders above the crowd of professional liars and globalist puppets who are trying to fudge their way to the finish line. You can bet Ron Paul could name five federal agencies to eliminate , right off the top of his head, with plenty of time to spare! Rick Perry couldn’t even name the third government agency he wanted to eliminate. But even then, why not just make one up on the spot instead of looking like a fool? Couldn’t you just whip out an answer like “The Post Office!” Or “The Pentagon!” Or how about the FDA? Or the USDA? Or take your pick among every other agency that’s run by a pack of tyrants or criminals: DEA, ATF, FTC… the list goes on. How could you NOT think of a single federal agency to eliminate? Heck, you could probably name ANY government agency to eliminate and it would make sense. From a field of over a dozen likely targets, how could Rick Perry have failed to come up with number three? It is with great relief, however, that Perry has now violently thrown himself out of the race. This vaccine-pushing, globalist-agenda-pimping miscreant deserves no place in the U.S. White House, and the fact that he even got this far is a terrible indictment of the gullibility and foolishness of the donors who supported him so far. There’s only one real candidate for U.S. President, folks. His name is Ron Paul. He stands for health freedom, legalized medical marijuana, legalized hemp farming, legalized raw milk, lower taxes, greater freedom, the ending of imperialist wars and numerous other examples of liberty and common sense. If you don’t vote for Ron Paul, don’t bother voting at all. www.RonPaul2012.com

Obama tells farmer no need to worry about government over-regulation of agriculture

(NaturalNews) During a town hall meeting yesterday, when an Illinois farmer told President Obama he was concerned about upcoming regulations regarding the Food Safety Modernization Act and would rather be farming than “filling out forms and permits,” Obama had choice words to offer in reply: “Don’t always believe what you hear.” For once, Obama has told the truth. “Don’t always believe what you hear” should be the rally cry for all the farmers, raw dairy producers and consumers harmed by government actions taking place under the Obama administration — actions which can only be called war against the People and crimes against nature. It was Obama’s USDA, for example, that approved genetically modified alfalfa to be openly planted everywhere, thereby contaminating non-GMO alfalfa crops with DNA pollution that’s impossible to remove from the harvest (http://www.naturalnews.com/031196_GE_alfalfa_GMOs.html). This is the same USDA that also recently said it would do nothing to halt the release of GMO yard grass seeds into the marketplace (http://www.naturalnews.com/033022_Scotts_Miracle-Gro_GMO_seeds.html). Because of that decision, by the Spring of 2012, we could see genetically engineered lawns spouting up in neighborhoods all across America, where they will be frequently sprayed with toxic Roundup herbicide chemicals. It was under President Obama that the FDA masterminded the recent armed raids on American raw dairy farmers by bringing a SWAT team to an L.A. food distribution center (http://www.naturalnews.com/033220_Rawesome_Foods_armed_raids.html). There, under the watchful eye of federal government thugs, agents proceeded to pour all the milk down the drain then seize and destroy tens of thousands of dollars worth of cheese, watermelons, mangos and other valuable food (http://www.naturalnews.com/033225_Rawesome_Foods_photos.html). Obama, of course, could have stopped this outrageous incarceration of raw dairy farmers at any time, but he stood back and said nothing. Perhaps he was too busy going on vacation (http://www.prisonplanet.com/trump-obama-takes-more-vacations-than-any-human-being-ive-ever-seen.html) to take any meaningful action trying to protect American farmers from gun-toting government tyrants. It was under Obama’s watch that Michigan gardener Julie Bass was threatened with 93 days of jail time for growing tomatoes in her own front yard (http://www.naturalnews.com/032960_Julie_Bass_home_gardening.html). While this wasn’t a federal case (it was drummed up by local tyrants who run the city of Oak Park), Obama could have easily intervened with a national message about “the freedom to garden.” Where was Michelle Obama on this point in particular? The President’s wife can grow a garden on the White House lawn, but a mom in Oak Park Michigan can’t do the same on her own private property? Insane. It’s only going to get worse as the FDA gains more power under the FSMA Just watch as the Food Safety Modernization Act really kicks in, folks, because that’s when Obama’s words will really ring true: “Don’t always believe what you hear.” For starters, all the official talk about this food safety act claimed that small farms and growers would be exempted from the new FDA regulations. This, of course, is a complete lie: No commercial grower is exempt from the act. Small farms must apply to be granted an FDA exemption from only two provisions of the bill, and even that exemption is only offered at the pleasure of the King (the FDA). (http://www.naturalnews.com/030808_food_safety_bill_American_farmers.html) Secondly, the FDA’s view on “safe food” is perverted to begin with. The FDA admittedly believes that the only safe food is dead food . Anything that’s pasteurized, fumigated or irradiated is made safer, according to the FDA; but “live” foods are all considered dangerous and even pathogenic! An FDA spokesperson recently told the New York Times that drinking raw milk would cause children to become “paraplegics.” This is an example of precisely the kind of disinformation fear tactics campaign the FDA is waging against producers of raw or unprocessed foods. According to the FDA, Americans should be eating dead foods while taking patented prescription medications to cover any symptoms that might appear from malnutrition. The FDA is on the record stating that there is no such thing as any food, plant or herb that has any biological function whatsoever for treating, curing or preventing any disease! (http://www.naturalnews.com/029698_censorship_FDA.html) It is this kind of nutritional insanity that the Obama administration has unleashed upon America’s agricultural industry with the Food Safety Modernization Act, which only emboldens the FDA with more power — power that will be used to destroy nutrition in America and wipe out providers of healthful food products. Where is Obama on the biggest agricultural issue of the century? If you really want to revitalize agriculture in America, legalize hemp farming . That single action would pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the hands of farmers and turn the USA into a huge producer of hemp seeds, hemp oils, hemp fibers and other valuable hemp products. Even though Obama promised to move on this issue during his campaign, he has done absolutely nothing to push for legalizing hemp farming in America. The farmers be damned! No President can credibly claim to support American agriculture if they aren’t pushing for the total legalization of hemp farming. (It’s legal in Canada. So why do we import all those hemp products from Canada when we could be growing them in the United States?) On this issue — just as with ending wars, closing down Gitmo, pushing for medical marijuana legalization and just about everything else the political left has been pushing for — Obama has been a disappointing failure. But wait, there’s more! Get ready for the FDA to go Nazi on the nation Thanks to the Obama administration’s push for the Food Safety Modernization Act, we will soon see an army of FDA agents sweeping across America, ransacking organic gardens, pillaging raw dairy producers, vandalizing local food distributors and intimidating innocent farmers at gunpoint, using tactics that can only be called acts of terrorism . Any who refuse to comply with the FDA’s new tyrannical rules will be arrested and handcuffed while their inventory is destroyed and their offices ransacked. FDA agents are on the record stealing cash and computers, seizing business records, confiscating customer email lists and addresses, then forcing to these very same businesses to pay for the FDA’s own surprise inspections just to make sure they’re still obeying orders (http://www.naturalnews.com/033280_FDA_raids_timeline.html). These are the actions of a government-run terrorist organization , and these actions are being conducted with a nod and wink from the Obama administration which actually went out of its way to push for giving the FDA even more power and more money! No more Bushes or Obamas, please… Even though Obama was elected under the banner of “hope” for real change, it turns out this President is a pro-war, pro-GMO, pro secret prisons, pro Federal Reserve president who repeatedly seeks to expand the power of the very same government regulators that are terrorizing innocent Americans right now. Only Presidential candidate Ron Paul dares point out the outrageous abuses of freedom being pursued by the FDA today. In this interview on CNN, he called out the U.S. government for denying people the freedom to “drink raw milk”: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=00F7C086AFAB902425583F5567988F88 So stop putting your misplaced faith in the latest fad Democrat or Republican, folks. What we need in America is leadership based on PRINCIPLE . There’s only one candidate who stands on principle, which is why he’s being lambasted by the totally corrupt press: His name is Ron Paul. Ron Paul stands for legalizing hemp and medical marijuana , ending FDA tyranny in America, protecting our rights to buy and sell raw milk , ending the completely corrupt EPA and restoring liberty and freedom to America. I don’t agree with Ron Paul on every single thing, but when it comes to 2012, there’s no other candidate that even comes close to the honesty, integrity and liberty-loving actions of this man. If he’s not on the ballet, I won’t even vote! Because let’s face it: Bush was a war-mongering psychopath. Obama is an inept corporate sellout. And Rick Perry — God forbid he should somehow end up on the ballot — is a Big Pharma lackey who pushes vaccines onto little children. There’s only one choice who makes any sense at all to those who believe in liberty, freedom and a restoring of commonsense principles in America: www.RonPaul2012.com Left and Right Unite! Forget the partisan politics. It’s ultimately about freedom, folks. And only Ron Paul has the courage to defend and preserve it.

Was Judge John Roll the actual target of the Giffords shooting?

(NaturalNews) While most of the country has been focused on the tragic shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), the murder of Judge John McCarthy Roll, a federal judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, remains largely and strangely missing from most of the mainstream press coverage of this event. Judge Roll, considered by some to be one of the most constitutionally-centered judges in history, was a defender of liberty who, prior to his murder, had begun working with Rep. Giffords to build a new courthouse and to assert Arizona’s sovereignty in dealing with illegal immigration. In essence, Rep. Giffords and Judge Roll were effectively breaking down the false ‘left/right’ political paradigm that paralyzes Americans from fighting back against government tyranny. This unique alliance between ‘left’ and ‘right’, and the potential it had to dismantle a whole host of encroaching federal interventions in state affairs, may be one of the reasons why Judge Roll’s murder is conveniently being left out of the spotlight. Worth noting here is that Jared Lee Loughner’s two primary victims were a significant and growing threat to the political status quo. Giffords is a Democrat, and Judge Roll was a conservative. But the two had begun working hand-in-hand to accomplish real goals for the people they served, both in Arizona and across the country. Judge Roll’s understanding of the proper role of the federal government had huge implications in all sorts of freedom issues, including health freedom. S.510, for instance, is the type of unconstitutional, freedom-grabbing legislation that Judge Roll would likely have fought against because of its significant encroachment on individual freedom to buy and sell locally-grown food. And any efforts to harmonize U.S. health laws with those of international governing bodies would likely have been struck down by Judge Roll as unconstitutional. Judge Roll issued a ‘preliminary ruling’ against a case that would permit Obama to seize citizens’ assets without cause Just days before being murdered, Judge Roll had issued a preliminary ruling with intent to rule against the case of ‘United States of America v. $333,520.00 in United States Currency et al’. The subject of the case involved giving the Obama Administration power to seize citizens’ assets regardless of whether or not it could be proven that they committed any sort of crimes. And Judge Roll had planned to declare it unconstitutional. Even though previous presidents have gained similar asset-seizing powers, the recent case would have represented a significant milestone in overriding due process by giving the federal government arbitrary power to steal private property without legitimate cause. And regardless of whether the one doing the seizing was a Democrat or a Republican, Judge Roll would have made the same ruling because, to him, it was a matter of constitutionality, not partisan politics. Unlike most other judges, Judge Roll backed the Constitution and its provisions for individual liberty even when it was not popular. His conservative ideologies were secondary to fulfilling his primary oath of office in defending the U.S. Constitution. And for this reason, he was often hated by both sides for making unpopular, but justified, rulings based on constitutional guidelines. Was Judge Roll the real target? Judge Roll’s unwavering commitment to the Constitution was a major roadblock for those trying to advance unconstitutional agendas. Few, if any, judges are as knowledgeable and principled as Roll was on constitutional issues. And from what is known of him, he could not be bought off by political lobbyists. In fact, many from both sides of the aisle were upset at his decisions because they did not always strictly align with any one political party. As a result, he received many death threats throughout his tenure as a judge. But when considering how significant his contributions were to both Arizonans and to Americans at large, why is his murder being left out of the headlines? Interestingly, some reports that do mention him indicate that he had not even planned to attend Rep. Giffords’ rally the day of the shootings, but decided to do so after allegedly receiving a call asking him to stop by and speak to the Congresswoman. Other reports say he just happened to be shopping at the Safeway grocery store where the event was being held, and decided to greet Rep. Giffords and thank her for her support in fighting illegal immigration. Regardless, Judge Roll was either coincidentally at the right place at the wrong time for his murder, or he was one of the primary targets. Whether he was the sole target or a primary target along with Rep. Giffords, the strange events surrounding the murder of Judge Roll deserve more attention than they are currently getting. Most media sources decided right off the bat that Rep. Giffords was the primary target, and that the others murdered or injured were just secondary ‘bystanders’. Case closed, they say. But upon what evidence do they base these assertions? Even beyond considering the fact that federal judges typically do not attend public political events like the one Rep. Giffords held, what are the odds that one of the most constitutional federal judges — one that clearly threatened the establishment powers — happened to be present at the time of the massacre? Why were local police not present at this outdoor, public event featuring a controversial Congresswoman? And why has there been little to no mention of Judge Roll’s murder by the mainstream media? The victims of the shootings, their families, and all American citizens deserve a proper investigation into what went on the day of the Tucson massacre. There are many pieces to the puzzle that remain missing, and many questions that demand answers. If the American public simply accepts the mainstream rhetoric, then there is little left to be learned. But if concerned citizens delve deeper down the rabbit hole and push for answers, the full truth may eventually come to light. Judge Roll’s death, in particular, deserves serious further investigation.

U.S. House repeals Obama health care reform

(NaturalNews) The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a repeal of Obama’s health care reform, voting largely along party lines at 245 to 189 (three Democrats supported the vote). The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid promises to block it from ever coming to a vote there. Congressional Republicans characterized Obamacare as “job-killing” and called it a “trillion-dollar tragedy.” In response, one Democrat compared Republican rhetoric to World War II Nazi propaganda. Democrats, predictably, attempted to emphasize how Obamacare would “create jobs.” Of course it would create jobs: When the system doesn’t help anybody get healthy, the number of patients needing disease management services skyrockets, and that translates into job creation in the sick-care industry. A person could similarly “create jobs” by unleashing an infectious virus in a major U.S. city and seeing how many people line up for emergency care at the hospitals. But that’s moronic. “Creating jobs” shouldn’t be done on the backs of sick people — especially when that sickness could be prevented through the application of commonsense nutrition. Then again, one should never expect the rhetoric of lawmakers to follow any economic logic in the first place. Both war and disease create plenty of jobs. But those aren’t the kind of jobs that improve the quality of life for the American people. The real story behind health care reform The bitter debate that took place in the House of Representatives today is little more than elaborate cover, of course, for the underlying truth that neither political party supports real health care . Both parties are so strongly influenced by Big Pharma financial interests that passing meaningful health care reform which would serve the best interests of the American people is a political impossibility. Sadly, the U.S. Congress has long passed the stage where legislative votes are conducted in the best interests of the American people. Instead, votes are cast as political ballast, to appease campaign contributors and gain favor with party officials. The very structure of Congress — with its corporate-funded campaign contributions and lobbyists — is no more able to meet the real needs of the American people than a disturbed mental patient is to spontaneously achieve cognitive clarity. Pleasing the corporations What’s wrong with Congress and health care is not that members of Congress don’t want to improve the health of Americans, it’s that they exist in a system of corporate political influence that makes such action impossible. There’s simply too much money to be made from sickness and degenerative disease. The idea of keeping the American people healthy is far too threatening to the profits of the drug companies and cancer industry (not to mention the diabetes industry and heart disease industry) to allow realistic health solutions to become law. This isn’t being cynical; it’s being realistic about the underlying motivations and influences of the U.S. Congress. When you have a nation whose lawmakers are funded by powerful corporations, it should be no surprise that you end up with laws and regulations which strongly favor those corporations. Revoke the personhood of corporations The real problem in all this is that corporations continue to have legal standing as individuals . This long-established precedent has allowed corporations to claim protections under the Bill of Rights as if they were individuals. This is how the corporate funding of politicians has become “protected” by the U.S. Supreme Court as a Free Speech issue. But Free Speech was never intended to apply to corporations. The Bill of Rights enumerated rights of the People , not rights of multinational, multi-billion dollar corporate giants. As a result, the U.S. has become a corporatocracy rather than a democracy. Your puny little vote at the polls, in other words, counts for naught against the never-ending flood of dollars from corporations into the campaign reelection funds of congressmen and Senators. You can’t out-vote a suitcase full of $100 bills exchanged under the table. Vote all you want. The corporations still run Congress and set the legislative agenda. Elaborate theater That’s why all this activity you see on Capitol Hill right now with the repeal of Obamacare is really just elaborate theater designed to create the appearance that members of Congress are somehow standing up for the American people. And it’s all being done under the much larger illusion that you need a government to take care of you in the first place. Why do we need representatives in Washington at all? That structure is a carryover from the horse-and-buggy days when Morse code telegraphs were considered cutting-edge technology. It wasn’t dot-com. It was dot-dot-dash. Today, we could all vote on laws via the internet, without the need for Washington bureaucrats to vote for us (or so they claim). How about a Direct Democracy ? Of course, the other side of that argument is that the average U.S. citizen is incapable of grasping the ramifications of important legislation and would be easily swayed by national television advertising. That’s probably true to some extent. But it’s difficult to see how theoretically ignorant voters could produce worse results than Congressional sellouts who actively vote against the interests of the American people time after time. You can be sure, by the way, that Congress will never vote itself out of power. Its members want to maintain power over you, your health care, your money and your actions for as long as the American people will continue to allow them to do so. The real theater, you see, is not that Congress allows itself to be ruled by corporations, but rather than the People allow themselves to be ruled by Congress!

Was Judge John Roll an intentional target of the Giffords shooting?

(NaturalNews) While most of the country is focused on the tragic shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), who as of this writing remains hospitalized in critical condition, the murder of Judge John McCarthy Roll, a federal judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, remains largely and strangely missing from most of the mainstream press. Judge Roll, considered by some to be one of the most constitutionally-centered judges in history, was a defender of liberty?who, prior to his murder, had begun working with Rep. Giffords to build a new courthouse and to assert Arizona’s sovereignty in dealing with illegal immigration. In essence, Rep. Giffords and Judge Roll were effectively breaking down the false “left/right” political paradigm that paralyzes Americans from fighting back against government tyranny. This unique alliance between “left” and “right”, and the potential it had to dismantle a whole host of encroaching federal interventions in state affairs, may be one of the reasons why Judge Roll’s murder is conveniently being left out of the spotlight. Not long after the tragic shootings of Rep. Giffords, Judge Roll, and 17 other innocent bystanders at an outdoor political event in Tucson, Ariz., many in the mainstream media immediately began to pin Jared Lee Loughner, the shooter, as a right-wing “tea partier”, despite his affections for far-left-wing icons like socialist Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto . He was also a fan of?Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf . Loughner’s classmates referred to him as “left-wing”, though, which together with the other facts debunks the myth that Loughner was somehow on a Sarah Palin-induced political rampage. Nevertheless, the media frenzy has so far played itself out as the perfect scapegoat to fuel partisan hatred, and effectively avoid further scrutiny of the events surrounding the actual shootings. Much more important than Loughner’s own political affiliations is the fact that two of his primary victims were a significant and growing threat to the political status quo. Giffords is a Democrat, and Judge Roll was a conservative. But the two had begun working hand-in-hand to accomplish real goals for the people they served, both in Arizona and across the country. Judge Roll’s understanding of the proper role of the federal government had huge implications in all sorts of freedom issues, including health freedom. S.510, for instance, is the type of unconstitutional, freedom-grabbing legislation that Judge Roll would likely have fought against because of its significant encroachment on individual freedom to buy and sell?locally-grown food. And any efforts to harmonize U.S. health laws with those of international governing bodies would likely have been struck down by Judge Roll as unconstitutional as well. In other words, Judge Roll truly was the real deal when it came to upholding the Constitution. Judge Roll issued a ‘preliminary ruling” against a case that would permit Obama to seize citizens’ assets without cause Just days before?being murdered, Judge Roll had issued a preliminary ruling with intent to rule against the case of “United States of America v. $333,520.00 in United States Currency et al”. The subject of the case involved giving the Obama Administration power to seize citizens’ assets regardless of whether or not it could be proven that they committed any sort of crimes. And Judge Roll had planned to declare it unconstitutional. Even though previous presidents have gained similar asset-seizing powers, the recent case would have represented a significant milestone in overriding due process by giving the federal government arbitrary power to steal private property without legitimate cause. And regardless of whether the one doing the seizing was a Democrat or a Republican, Judge Roll would have made the same ruling because, to him,?it?was a matter of constitutionality, not partisan politics. Unlike most other judges, Judge Roll backed the Constitution and its provisions for individual liberty even when it was not popular. His conservative ideologies were secondary to fulfilling his primary oath of office in defending the U.S. Constitution. And for this reason, he was often hated by both sides for making unpopular, but?justified, rulings based on constitutional guidelines. Was Judge Roll the real target?

He also exhibited clear signs of schizophrenic behavior that made him say contradictory and nonsensical things. So is there any significance to all this in relation to his shooting rampage? Loughner’s deranged behavior and persona illustrate that he obviously had severe mental problems, to say the least.

Republicans may elect Pfizer lobbyist to head RNC

(NaturalNews) As yet more proof that Big Pharma corruption crosses all political lines, Republicans are now considering putting a Pfizer lobbyist, Maria Cino, into the top position at the RNC. Cino was a strong supporter of Obama’s health care reform and yet is a favorite pick of former Vice President Dick Cheney. She’s also been helped by House Speaker John Boehner. GOP strategist Mary Matalin even hosted a fundraiser for her. Cino was active in the Bush Administration which, as NaturalNews regularly reported over the years, was deeply corrupted by Big Pharma’s profit interests. It was the Bush Administration, for example, that structured a deal with Big Pharma to actually remove the ability of the federal government to negotiate bulk price discounts with the drug companies. This is part of the reason why Medicare is so expensive today: The Bush Administration locked in monopoly pricing for the drug giants, including the very same drug company (Pfizer) for which Maria Cino had lobbied. Pfizer, by the way, pushed the hardest for passage of Obamacare reforms. As the Wall Street Journal reports, Pfizer CEO Jeffrey Kindler was keen to see Obamacare become law: “In 2009 Pfizer became the fourth largest federal lobbyist, spending nearly $25 million. The strategy: The industry would pledge $80 billion to reform. In return it would get greater volume and a requirement that people buy brand-name drugs. Democrats would also fight against drug reimportation and forgo price controls. No one pushed harder than Mr. Kindler. The CEO made no fewer than five trips to the White House last year. He was the man prodding Pharmaceutical Researchers and Manufacturers of America head Billy Tauzin every step. He wrote an op-ed with the SEIU’s Mr. Stern demanding reform. He pressed the industry’s $150 million ad campaign promoting ObamaCare, rolled out with liberal activist groups.” (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704041504575045702997683276.html) The illusion of a two-party system So how could the RNC be headed up by a political operative named Maria Cino who openly lobbied for Pfizer and pushed for Obama’s health care reform? The answer is simpler than you think: What we are witnessing here is yet more evidence of the illusion of a two-party political system in America. Regardless of whether a politician is a Democrat or Republican, they all answer to the corporations . America is no longer a democracy as much as it is an Oligarchy, where the wealthy elite control both the global corporate interests and the national political agendas. People like Maria Cino are mere pawns in this global power struggle that seeks to control the world’s economies, banking systems, health care systems and media outlets while squashing independent thought (and natural medicine, for that matter). The drug companies, as NaturalNews readers already know, not only control the national sick-care system in America; they also control med schools, medical journals, and the research funding of many universities. They openly bribe doctors, buy politicians and commit research fraud in order to get their products approved as “safe” by the FDA. Both Democrats and Republicans are, in essence, Big Pharma sellouts who continue to grant the industry a protected, monopolistic market to “treat” disease in America while the FDA criminalizes natural alternatives that are cheaper, safer and far more effective at promoting health. So if you’ve been thinking that the Republicans are all aligned against Obamacare, think again : The RNC may soon be led by a Big Pharma insider who strongly supports Obamacare. After all, the two party system is really just one giant party for the drug companies. Because when it comes down to dollars, Republicans can be bought off just as easily as the Democrats .

Giffords shooter shows pattern of psychiatric derangement; no political affiliation

(NaturalNews) Of all the senseless acts of violence we’ve seen over the years, today’s shooting at a Gabrielle Giffords public event in Tucson really strikes home. I spent time in the company of “Gabby” Giffords and met many members of her staff during her first run for Congress. I saw her as a “balanced” representative (a former Republican turned Democrat who still, for example, supported Second Amendment rights) who I thought could bring some new energy into Washington, which seems to perpetually suffer from “Good ‘Old Boys” syndrome. That she has been violently attacked by an individual who is obviously mentally deranged is shocking and extremely disturbing. But just as disturbing is how the mainstream media has latched onto this story as a way to demonize anyone who believes in the U.S. Constitution. The shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner , is, by any sensible interpretation, mentally deranged. Yes, he mentioned the Constitution among his various ramblings, but he also listed the Communist Manifesto as being among his favorite books. In addition, he released a YouTube video containing unintelligible ramblings of repeated nonsense phrases, including references to the government taking away “grammar,” of having a colorful bird on his shoulder, brainwashing and what he called “conscience dreaming.” The utterly false and irresponsible accusation floating around certain circles on the ‘net that Loughner was some sort of extreme right winger who targeted a Democrat is extremely irresponsible and hateful. Giffords was pro Second Amendment and publicly supported the right of the People to keep and bear arms. She was also a huge supporter of a stronger border with Mexico , which has traditionally been one of the key positions of Arizona conservatives. Giffords can’t be pigeonholed into a label, you see. Her views are far more complex than “Democrat” vs “Republican.” She is certainly no “left-wing liberal.” A pattern of psychiatric intervention? What’s clear from the shooting is that Loughner was gunning for EVERYBODY , not just Giffords. He unloaded multiple rounds (15 – 20 rounds, according to press reports) on anybody and everybody standing nearby: Children, adults, etc. Does this ring a bell for anyone? A young white male, disillusioned, confused, mentally deranged… and opening fire on innocent people? That’s the pattern we saw in the Columbine High School shootings in 1999, and it turned out that the shooters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, were on psychiatric medications . (http://www.naturalnews.com/025826_Antidepressants_school_shootings.html) In fact, numerous public shootings have been carried out by those who are either on psychiatric medications or who have recently stopped taking them (which can be just as dangerous in the short term). Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold talked about how their world had become like a dream, where they couldn’t tell the difference between the dream world and the waking world. Those are now virtually the same words as Jared Lee Loughner who, in his various ramblings, talked about “sleepwalking” during the day and “conscience dreaming [sic]” at other times. While we have no proof yet that psychiatric drugs are involved here, we do see a very suspicious pattern of mental instability that suggests a likely connection. The sleepwalking behaviors Loughner describes are, in fact, common side effects of psychotropic drugs such as Ambien , which is famous for causing people to actually “sleep drive” into town and suddenly awake in the middle of the road, driving their car in their pajamas, with no knowledge of how they got there (http://www.naturalnews.com/019413.html). I must stress that we don’t yet know whether Loughner was on sleeping medications or psychiatric drugs, but his behavior fits the pattern of someone who was: The lack of touch with reality, the violent and indiscriminate shooting, and the interweaving of the dream world with the real world. These are red flags of someone who is either suffering from a severe nutritional deficiency that affects brain function (vitamin D, for example, is important for preventing schizophrenia) or someone whose brain has been chemically altered through pharmacological intervention. The phrase “young white male” should scream out the obvious statistical link to ADHD drugs, by the way. What is VERY clear at this point is that Loughner was not of the presence of mind to be rationally affiliate with ANY political party: Not on the left, nor the right. His apparent psychosis takes him way out of the realm of rational participation in any particular philosophy. Even his favorite books listed on his Myspace page adhere to no particularly consistent overriding philosophy. He was, however, fascinated with the question of what is real versus what’s just an imaginary dream. He was a fan of Alice in Wonderland , for example, as well as George Orwell’s Animal Farm . Don’t be fooled by the MSM coverage of this story Although there is still much more to emerge from this tragic event, it is clear that this is not some simple story about a disgruntled patriot who wanted to kill a Democrat. In fact, Loughner was no patriot at all: He openly talked about burning the American flag . Rather, this is really a story about mental illness in America , and the roots of this mental illness are undoubtedly partly found in these elements: • The chemical contamination of our food and water (fluoride, food additives, etc.) • Widespread nutritional deficiencies that promote mental illness • The scourge of the psychiatric drug industry and the widespread drugging of teens and children … and also, quite possibly: • The “programming” of young males with extremely violent video games which are now also used in the military to desensitize young adults to the violence of killing. Loughner, by the way, was reportedly a military recruit. As more facts emerge from this story, we will do our best to cover them here on NaturalNews. I am personally angered by these events as well as the mainstream media’s outrageously dishonest attempts to twist this story into some sort of “gun nut” angle, which it most definitely is not. I am also extremely saddened at the loss of life that occurred today, right in Tucson, virtually right next door to where I used to shop for organic produce at the Whole Foods on Oracle (used to be Wild Oats). That was not a “bad” part of town. That whole section of Tucson is actually the safer part of the town. In many ways, it is the “yuppie” part of town where the wealthier folks lived, with their high-end schools. Loughner attended one of those high schools on the northwest side of Tucson, I’ve been told. He was not part of the far rougher schools on the South side of that city, where the Latino gangs are located. The Latino gangs, notably, don’t shoot politicians. They just shoot each other. My heart goes out to Giffords, her family, and the other victims of this senseless crime. Most especially to the young child who was reportedly shot, and the federal judge who was reportedly killed. Several Giffords staff members were also harmed or killed (we don’t have solid details yet). I can tell you that, from my personal experience, the Giffords staff members are very dedicated, hard-working honest people and none of them deserve this kind of treatment. I may not agree with all the political decisions of Giffords (she voted for Obamacare, for example), but neither do I condone any use of violence to settle such disagreements. But remember, this was not an act of political activism . This was an act of madness carried out by a mentally deranged individual. I do not believe Giffords’ political positions had anything to do with it at all. After all, Loughner shot at all the other people in the crowd, too, and he had no way to know their political views either. Tucson cops, concealed carry firearms and more There is a report that one individual in the crowd was carrying a concealed firearm and managed to bring it to bear in an effort to stop Loughner from committing further violence. This may have been a lifesaving action. Many people in Arizona carry concealed firearms legally, acting as a sort of “citizens response team” to prevent such violence from taking place. In fact, the Tucson police department, for which I helped raise thousands of dollars as part of my non-profit volunteerism there, is desperately short on cash and actually recruits citizens to help law enforcement do their jobs more effectively there. I will write more about the dynamics of this, and the Tucson police force, in follow-up articles right here on NaturalNews. As someone who used to attend law enforcement meetings in Tucson, I know many of the high-ranking police officials on a personal basis, and I know them to be some of the most dedicated local law enforcement professionals I’ve ever met. Watch NaturalNews for more follow-up reports as we attempt to dig into this story and find out what could have possibly led to such an act of senseless violence. We will also take part in any fundraising efforts that get organized to help the victims of this shooting. But the most important thing we can do right now is try to get to the bottom of what’s behind this shooting and then take action to prevent such a terrible act of violence from occurring again.
