Doctors use Fukushima-like radiation to "treat" thyroid disorders

(NaturalNews) Japan has been reporting for several days that much of the raw milk being produced in the Fukushima province is now radioactive. This raises today’s quiz question: If the FDA were operating in Japan, what would they do about this raw, radioactive milk? Answer: They would seize it because it’s RAW, not because it’s radioactive. After all, it is the FDA that has long supported the mass irradiation of the food supply as a way to sterilize it and “kill pathogens.” The food irradiation agenda has long been a top priority of the FDA (http://www.naturalnews.com/023015_food_foods_USDA.html). Meanwhile, the FDA has been a steady enemy of raw milk (and other raw foods). Even today, when you buy almonds grown in California, they must be fumigated or irradiated in order to comply with California state law (which was supported by the USDA and applauded by the FDA). (http://www.naturalnews.com/021989.html) Perhaps the Fukushima nuclear power plant has a future after all: Instead of producing power, it can function as an FDA-approved food irradiation center where fresh, raw foods are exposed to radiation to make them “safe” for public consumption. Does your doctor want to irradiate your thyroid gland? It’s not just your food that’s being irradiated, of course: It’s also your body. In addition to the radiation-emitting mammography machines and cancer radiotherapy treatment machines used in hospitals every day, there’s also a very common radiation treatment for so-called “hyperthyroidism” that involves injecting a radioactive form of iodine into patients and “burning out” their thyroid gland. Guess what they use for their thyroid radiation treatment? Radioactive iodine — the same deadly substance being released from the Fukushima power plant! I can’t make this stuff up. The treatment is so dangerous that patients who subject themselves to it set off radiation alarms at airports and transportation centers. The patients are so radioactive that they’re told not to stand near any other person for several days because the radiation would damage them. From EPA.gov: “Key beta emitters used in medical imaging, diagnostic and treatment procedures are phosphorus-32, and iodine-131. For example, people who have taken radioactive iodine will emit beta particles. They must follow strict procedures to protect family members from exposure. Radioactive iodine may enter the environment during a nuclear reactor accident and find its way into the food chain. Industrial gauges and instruments containing concentrated beta-emitting radiation sources can be lost, stolen, or abandoned. If these instruments then enter the scrap metal market, or someone finds one, the sources they contain can expose people to beta emitters.” (http://www.epa.gov/radiation/understand/beta.html) Coming soon: The Fukushima hospital? The fact that western medicine uses the same deadly radiation being released by the Fukushima nuclear facility as a “treatment” for your thyroid is nothing short of astonishing. Doctors quite literally “fry” patients’ thyroid glands with this radiation, and then send them home to die from the inevitable cancers that will result. This leads to the rather obvious conclusion of what to do with the Fukushima nuclear power plant now that it can no longer be used to generate electricity: Western medical doctors can turn it into the Fukushima hospital to “treat” cancer patients and hyperthyroidism sufferers with yet more radiation! This is not said in jest. Radiation is used every day throughout the medical industry, even when radiation is the cause of the cancer in the first place. Cancer doctors, you see, have somehow reached the bizarre conclusion that cancer is caused by a lack of radiation and therefore cancer patients need more radiation as a “treatment.” If this philosophy is followed throughout Japan, it will mean that all the cancer victims from the Fukushima catastrophe will be given yet more radiation as a way to treat the cancers they develop. Or perhaps they’ll be given chemotherapy, a powerful chemical poison, to go along with the radiation. It all just shows you how completely quacked-out modern cancer treatments really are, doesn’t it? Only in western medicine does the “treatment” consist of pure poison or deadly radiation. And aren’t those the very same things that caused cancer in the first place? Isn’t it amazing how doctors say “Don’t use sunscreen” because the sun’s radiation might give you cancer, but to treat the cancer, they give you artificial radiation from far more dangerous sources? (By “artificial” I mean it is a “contrived” source of radiation that’s not normally present in the human environment.) I think they should rename hyperthyroidism treatments to be the “Fukushima protocol.” Radioactive iodine, folks. You can get it either from a nuclear meltdown, or from your doctor . Oh, and by the way, when they give you radioactive iodine to burn out your thyroid, they specifically tell you in advance to avoid taking in other sources of iodine, or else the radioactive iodine “won’t burn out your thyroid good enough” (paraphrased, obviously). Don’t protect your body, in other words. That’s the message from both the White House and the medical system: Don’t take precautions against radiation. Just do what you’re told and go along with whatever you’re supposed to do, no matter how totally loony that “official” advice might be.

Doctors in training taught to physically violate unconscious patients (explicit)

(NaturalNews) Warning: Explicit language. We apologize for the extremely explicit nature of this story, but we feel that publishing this truth, no matter how repulsive, is in the public interest and serves the greater purpose of informing patients about what can happen to them while under sedation at hospitals. Do NOT read this article if you are easily offended, grossed out or otherwise disturbed by explicit language in a medical context. The information contained in this report is NOT appropriate for children. It is, however, true. This is not a hoax. Now for the story: If you’re undergoing surgery at the hospital, you might want to have a secret nanny cam nearby to record what goes on, because it turns out that unconscious patients are being physically violated by medical students as part of their “medical training.” In a shocking report first published by Madison (http://madisonmag.com.au/news/no-consent-patients-probed-by-medical-students.htm), anesthetized patients in Australia were, without their knowledge or consent, repeatedly subjected to genital, anal and breast examinations by medical students. In one case, a man who was under anesthesia for spinal surgery was subjected to “a queue of medical students” performing practice rectal examinations . One of the medical students who participated in this outrageous act later confessed, “I was [there], the patient was under a spinal [anesthetic] as well and there was a screen up and they just had a queue of medical students doing a rectal examination. He wasn’t consented but because… you’re in that situation, you don’t have the confidence to say ‘no’ you just do it.” Details of this outrageous abuse of patient privacy will soon be published in the journal Medical Education (http://www.wiley.com/bw/journal.asp?ref=0308-0110). The entire student body was in my rectum? You really have to wonder what this poor patient thought when he woke up from surgery with a sore rectum that had been sodomized by a group of medical students while he was unconscious. He may have awoken, realized something was terribly wrong, and thought to himself, in all seriousness, “Did I just get ass-raped by my surgeon?” The answer, of course, is YES! In fact, he got ass-raped by a whole queue of medical students practicing to become doctors. Because there’s no better way to train would-be doctors how to dehumanize and exploit patients in the future than to set medical examples of the physical violation of innocent patients today. It sets the proper tone in the minds of medical students for pushing vaccines, chemotherapy, pharmaceuticals and other dangerous medical procedures that harm hundreds of millions of people each year around the world. I suppose their thinking goes something like this: If a medical student is willing to sodomize an unconscious patient just because his instructor tells him to, there’s probably nothing he won’t do to people in the future as long as he is instructed by proper “authorities” (medical journals, drug companies, government officials, etc.). The things doctors do when pressured by their peers It also carries the powerful hidden message that patients exist to be exploited by you, the doctor, in whatever way you wish , without their knowledge or consent. Note, too, that when faced by peer pressure, most medical students just go along with whatever they’re ordered to do, regardless of whether it violates a person’s rights, or medical ethics, or even federal law. As documented in this particular study, 82 percent of medical students essentially ass-raped an unconscious patient after being instructed to do so by their medical instructor. Lest you think the term “ass-rape” is inappropriate in this situation, keep in mind that the term is defined by Wiktionary as “The act of forcing anal sex upon another person, without their consent and / or against their will.” (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ass-rape) Anal sex, furthermore, is defined in one context as “fingering another person’s anus,” and given that these medical students were fingering the anuses of unconscious patients , what we have here, by any reasonable definition, is a clear-cut case of anal raping of patients by medical students. (By the way, if you’ve read this far, please remember that I included the EXPLICIT warning at the top of this article for a reason. Again, I apologize for the explicit nature of this article and I wish such events were not even taking place in our world.) Some medical students held their ground and said NO The study mentioned here documented the behavior of 200 medical students in Britain and Australia. Not all the students went along with the anal violation of unconscious patients, by the way. In one case, a student refused to participate in what he described as a woman “spread-eagled on the bed and the nurse is pulling down her jeans at the same time and it was all very complicated and you could see her, she was about seventeen.” Apparently, modern-day medical instructors think that stripping down a 17-year-old girl, naked and spread eagle, while parading a “train” of medical students to perform who-knows-what medical examinations on her is totally okay! I don’t know about you, but to me this sadly sounds a lot more like a college fraternity gang rape than any legitimate medical procedure. And it’s being undertaken by our future physicians who are studying conventional medicine. But hey, if they don’t make it through medical school, they can always get a job working for the TSA , where probing someone’s genitals without their consent is part of the official job description. Training doctors to treat human beings like animals What does all this tell you about the ethics of modern medicine? These doctors are the same people who tell you to vaccinate your children; to treat your cancer with chemotherapy; to take statin drugs and to staple your stomach in order to lose weight. These are the monsters of our medical system — the ethically deficient and criminally-minded medical molesters who commit heinous acts of what can only be called medical violence against teenage girls and unconscious men and women who are under their “care.” When you go in to get elective surgery for a serious medical problem such as colon cancer, you don’t expect to have your rectum paraded on display as a teaching aid for a group of students who each get to finger your rectum before they cut it out. Seriously, this is what one of the medical students actually said about this: “If you’re having your anus cut out then having someone’s finger put in it anyway, I just thought was an irrelevance basically so I have no qualms what[so]ever about not having specifically consented her to allow me to do a rectal examination.” This is what really goes on behind closed doors, under the surgical blankets and behind the screens, where innocent patients are sodomized, victimized and actually raped by their health care providers. And this isn’t just one isolated case, either… it’s how medical students are being TRAINED as part of their medical education! This isn’t a rogue pervert physician, in other words: It’s an institutionalized psychopathic power trip that hints at the way conventional medicine is carried out right now, all across the world. It reminds me of the Milgram experiments where students were very easily trained to apply deadly levels of electroshock jolts to innocent victims merely because they were ordered to do so by an instructor (http://www.naturalnews.com/025141.html). Those experiments proved that 70 percent of people will torture other human beings if encouraged to do so by someone in an apparent position of authority. So if you ever undergo surgery, and you wake up with a throbbing rectum or obvious physical abuse of other body parts, it’s probably not just in your head: You may have been victimized by medical students or physicians who think there’s absolutely nothing wrong with exploiting your body for their own purposes while you’re unconscious. Your disease is their treatment experiment. Your suffering is their amusement. Your rectum is their training aid. You are there essentially to be treated like an unconscious rag doll by medical staff and medical students who have lost any and all sense of the meaning behind the term “health care.” These are despicable people, and the fact that they are tomorrow’s doctors helps explain why health care is such an utter failure on every level: Physical, ethical and spiritual. Now for the good news The good news in all this, if there can be any found, is that an increasing number of younger medical students are actually embracing complementary medicine. They are increasingly questioning the old, outmoded mythologies behind pharmaceuticals, vaccines and chemotherapy, and they’re learning the importance of using holistic healing methods to support patients rather than poison them. Not all conventional doctors are ass-raping psychopaths, in other words. There are good doctors among the bad ones, and there are even conventional doctors who actually have ethics and would never even think of violating patients in such a way. Some doctors even manage to make it through medical school without losing their moral compass, if you can believe that, and we should respect those who do. Many doctors deserve tremendous credit for their miraculous work in emergency rooms, saving lives and treating acute injuries with remarkable skill and efficiency. Conventional medicine has an important (limited) role to play in society, and there are times when rectal exams are, of course, medically necessary. But when conducted, they should be done with consent unless special circumstances exist such as an unconscious gunshot victim needing acute emergency care that requires immediate action on the part of doctors and surgeons. There’s more good news in all this: The era of Big Pharma medicine is crumbling. The mythology behind vaccines is being increasingly exposed as quackery and fraud. The insanity of harmful mammograms and unnecessary surgical procedures is also being increasingly reported. Times are changing , and conventional medicine is resorting to outright desperation to keep itself in business at a time when most people are heading in the direction of holistic medicine based on patient compassion and understanding . I bet you won’t see naturopathic physicians (N.D.s) ass-raping their patients. NDs, homeopaths, herbalists and massage therapists are usually compassionate, caring individuals who respect their patients as real human beings . They honor your boundaries and they practice the healing arts with a genuine sense of ethics that’s too often lacking in the world of conventional medicine. Remember: You have power in all this. When faced with any kind of health or medical situation, you always have a choice of where to spend your dollars. I encourage you to avoid choosing conventional doctors and their superbug-infested hospitals. Wherever possible, choose naturopathic health care offered by compassionate and sensitive health professionals who treat you like a valued human being and respect your boundaries. And if you’re forced to go into a conventional hospital for one reason or another, duct tape your butt cheeks together just to be sure no one goes in there. Put a sticker on the tape that reads, “Warranty void if seal broken,” and point out to your surgeon that your rectum is off limits to him, his staff and his students. Make him sign a piece of paper that says, “I will not ass-rape my patients.” They make you sign a pile of paperwork, after all. Have a few documents of your own for them to sign for a change. That paperwork might include valuable tidbits such as, “The foot to amputate is on the LEFT. The foot to leave alone is on the RIGHT. The entire anal-rectal area is entirely off limits and don’t play with my breasts while I’m unconscious.” This is really happening I wish I were making up this story. I wish it were fiction, but sadly it’s reality. After writing about health and medicine for nearly 8 years, there’s nothing I’ve seen that surprises me anymore. To hear that medical students are being trained as a group to sodomize unconscious patients isn’t actually the worst thing I’ve heard about conventional medicine. They do far worse things to children with psychiatric drugs, and to cancer patients via chemotherapy poisons. The widespread vaccination of children with utterly horrifying chemical ingredients that are injected into their bodies is yet another true story of the harm routinely caused by conventional medicine. The good news, of course, is that I believe this era of medical violence against children and adults — which I call the Dark Ages of medicine — is crumbling by the day. The tide is rapidly shifting, and there will be a day in the near future when Big Pharma CEOs spend their days in prison, when ass-raping surgeons are convicted of their crimes, and when vaccines are rejected by the vast majority of people who come to realize the truth about how harmful they really are. Things really are going to get better in the years ahead. And I hope to be part of bringing you that good news here on NaturalNews.com. Again, I apologize for the explicit language in this article, but I hope you agree that the seriousness of the facts warrant publication. If we refuse to talk about what’s really happening behind closed doors in our hospitals and clinics, then we fail to prevent it from happening to other victims in the future.

A new measure of intelligence: Big-picture thinking trumps narrow-minded expertise

(NaturalNews) Observing the various realms of science, medicine, experts and world events, I’ve come to the conclusion that our modern definition of “intelligence” (IQ) is seriously lacking. The label of “high IQ” is typically assigned to those who are experts in narrowly-defined fields such as disease pathology, pharmacology, particle physics, mathematics or other so-called “hard science” areas. And yet, it’s not uncommon to see a high-level mathematics professor with an IQ of 175 chowing down on a processed hamburger laced with toxic chemical additives, while wearing clothes washed in carcinogenic mainstream laundry detergent. The professor may be brilliant in mathematics, in other words, but he’s unknowingly bathing his entire body in cancer-causing chemicals at the same time. Not too bright. Similarly, a typical conventional doctor thinks he knows about health, but he buys breakfast cereals made with genetically modified corn and doesn’t even know that GMOs are bad for your health. A quantum physics professor wears antiperspirant deodorant and cologne products that contain powerful cancer-causing chemicals that are absorbed right through the skin. A pharmacist who is an expert in the world of drugs and synthetic chemicals has no clue that the common mineral zinc is crucial for proper immune function. Highly-intelligent architects for some reason don’t question the collapse of the WTC 7 building on 9/11 even though the official explanation of the collapse violates the laws of physics (a subject in which architects are well-versed). Chemists don’t consider the chemistry of the toxic shampoos they put on their hair every day. Nor do many scientists think realistically about the toxicity of mercury fillings or the fluorosilicic acid (“fluoride”) dumped into the public water supply. I could go on… The point of all this is that there exists a huge gap in practical intelligence among the so-called “smartest” people in our society . I’ve spoken with countless doctors and conventional health care providers who are brilliant in their own fields and yet don’t even know the basics of nutrition. So how can it be that a guy is so smart he can be the world’s best brain surgeon, but when he goes home at night, he bathes his own brain and body in a sea of toxic chemicals consumed as additives in his processed food dinner? Most people can’t assimilate the big picture What’s lacking in these so-called “smart” people is the ability to see the bigger picture by assimilating information from a large number of seemingly unrelated sources. Or, stated in another way, even some of the most high-IQ people around can’t see the big picture because they get lost in the details. Your typical oncologist, for example, almost certainly can’t hold an intelligent conversation about nutritional therapies to support immune function because he only thinks of antioxidants as “interfering” with the toxicity of his cancer poisons. Likewise, a typical virologist persistently looks at viruses as the cause of disease but forgets that viruses are opportunists which can only propagate when the terrain is sufficiently vulnerable. Thus, the best defense against invading microorganism is to change the terrain (the person being infected) rather than to try to rid the immediate area of all viruses. Memorization is not intelligence See, the very concept of “intelligence” in our society is way off the mark. It isn’t intelligent to be able to memorize and regurgitate a huge number of facts and figures, yet this is precisely the measure of academic aptitude assessed in modern educational systems — especially in law school and medical school. To function as a crude human database of facts and figures is not very useful in an age where handheld computers and mobile computing devices can do the same thing. But what computers and search engines can’t accomplish — something that is uniquely reserved for intelligent species — is the ability to assimilate information into a larger picture. It is, in other words, the ability to “connect the dots” and see patterns and trends in what might seem like chaos to others. My favorite physicist Richard Feynman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman) was an especially gifted pattern assimilator . He was able to look far beyond the conventional boundaries of particle physics and grasp many of the non-intuitive interconnections between matter, energy and the nature of reality itself. On a more practical level, people like Gerald Celente and even Alex Jones are also phenomenally gifted pattern assimilators. It’s not that they are ridiculously good at remembering a lot of facts and figures in one very narrow area of science or knowledge; rather it’s the fact that these types of people are able to see patterns in world events and thereby interact with the world around them at a far higher level of understanding than most other people. Whereas a typical journalist sees a headline that says, “GMO restrictions called unscientific” and thinks it’s merely a story about how un-educated GMO opponents are, a more intelligent “pattern assimilator” person sees the same headline and understands the far deeper meaning it holds: That the GMO propaganda campaign is being framed in the language of “science” as a way to label reasonable opponents of GMOs as being somehow uneducated or stupid. But behind the fake science curtain, it’s really just gimmicky marketing and a profit-driven agenda. The pattern behind all that, of course, is the agenda to control the world’s food supply and, soon thereafter, charge monopoly prices for seeds (TM) that farmers used to be able to save for free. A few people are able to see the story behind the story . These people are the “meta-analyzers” of the world around them. They have what I call a “wide angle view” (a big picture view) where they can bring in observational data from a very large data set of observable events in order to infer greater understanding of the world around them. Here are just a few of the many pattern assimilators who are better known: Gerald Celente can see the big picture of world finance. He sees the signs of the slipping value of the dollar, the leveraged debt of world banks, the actions of the Fed, the Wall Street bailouts, the news propaganda from the financial sector, and so on — and from all that, he correctly infers that a global debt bubble is approaching catastrophic collapse. Many of his colleagues, on the other hand, even though they may achieve high scores on an IQ test, are scribbling away with their noses buried in the arcane mathematics of derivatives calculations, and they miss the big picture because their minds are too narrowly focused on a tiny slice of what’s really happening. When the big financial collapse comes, they will be caught with their pants down, holding their pencils in their hands. Author John Perkins is also another big-picture genius, in his own way, for being able to see the patterns of government actions on a global scaled. He’s the author of the popular book “Economic Hit Men” (and also “Hoodwinked”), and he sees patterns in the world that nearly everyone else misses. You can see my interview with Perkins, by the way, at: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=83B1AF93091799E7CEB88C5C459A530B On the nutrition front, Dr Richard Kunin is one of the most remarkable pattern assimilators you’ll ever find. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Kunin) Here’s a genius the world has largely overlooked. Alex Jones is one of the more astonishing assemblers of patterns out of chaos. His ability to see the underlying patterns behind world events is truly amazing, and whether you agree with his conclusions or not, his mind is able to amass an extraordinarily large amount of data from many sectors (health freedom, police state actions, legislative efforts and so on) and then identify patterns that most other people would miss. You can find Alex on www.PrisonPlanet.com Seeing the bigger picture doesn’t make you any more popular This list is by no means exhaustive. There are many genius-level pattern assimilators in our world. They are rarely recognized for their talents, however. If anything, those who “get” the big picture are often derided or criticized for doing so. Connecting too many dots, it seems, is dangerous for your reputation. Those who have the most success in the sciences (in particular), are the ones who keep their heads down and focus on their own tiny little corner of study without asking any of the really big questions like, “Hey, where did this grant money really come from?” I consider myself something of a pattern assimilator, as I see patterns from one area of knowledge often reflected in another. For example, if our global economy is like a world body, what would fit the definition of a cancer tumor engaged in angiogenesis? The answers is corporations , because corporations hijack their own supply of resources (much like cancer tumors build a new blood supply), then grow to a large and dangerous size at which point they begin to replicate and set up branch offices all over the world where the tumor cycle is repeated. And just like cancer tumors, corporations ultimately threaten the lives of their hosts. As an avid reader and student of human history, psychology and even quantum mechanics, I feel competent to discuss the history of philosophy as much as, say, the modern-day repeating of patterns of tyranny from World War II. The most promising and fascinating area of human discovery about to be achieved, in my opinion, relates to the superposition of quantum physics and human consciousness. This will result in a paradigm-shattering shift in understanding the nature of our reality, with ripple effects that resound throughout our modern world. Once Earth’s people come to realize, for example, that matter is consciousness (and that all consciousness is connected), the implications will require profound rethinking of things such as compassion for animals, religious beliefs and self identity. This is the really exciting stuff that’s headed our way. But we’ll never get to a higher understanding of consciousness if we remain “experts” limited to our tiny alcoves of knowledge. To really function as intelligent members of a race that has been advertised as “advanced,” we must expand not just the depth of our knowledge but the breadth of our understanding. And that, of course, means understanding the interconnectedness of our being-ness. It is the interconnectedness that really matters, quite literally (ahem). Let us hope that more members of the human species can learn to recognize the interconnectedness among not just people, plants and animals, but at another level the interconnectedness of mind, matter and energy, too. To gain understanding of this interconnectedness is — to paraphrase quite a number of scientists and philosophers from human history — to become closer to God. He who can see all interconnectedness in life and the cosmos is, of course, God Himself. To see and recognize the patterns in the reality we apparently inhabit is, in my view, the most important next step necessary for the advancement of human intelligence. Importantly, this advancement cannot come from the sciences alone. It must involve a so-called “quantum leap” in consciousness.

In wake of Giffords shooting, the mere act of questioning the government now being demonized

(NaturalNews) In the aftermath of the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson yesterday, the mainstream media is now desperately trying to blame the attack on “anti-government” sentiment. USA Today ran a tabloid journalism piece that selectively cherry-picked certain phrases used by Jared Lee Loughner in order to create the impression that he was some sort of anti-government nut. Loughner was actually a mentally deranged individual who ranted about everything from “grammar” to imaginary birds (http://www.naturalnews.com/030953_Gabrielle_Giffords_shooting.html). His state of mind, as evidenced from his YouTube posts, seems incapable of holding any traditionally-recognized political philosophy. The Associated Press, meanwhile, actually blamed the “political climate” for the shooting, saying, “The nation’s caustic political climate has become a suspect of sorts in the rampage that left six dead and a lawmaker critically injured in Arizona.” The implication from these kinds of stories is that if you criticize the government, you therefore promote violence . That is, of course, a silly idea, especially considering the fact that the government nearly always uses the threat of violence against its own citizens to get what it wants . To use the example of Obamacare, the law itself says that if citizens don’t buy health insurance, the U.S. government will essentially extract a large sum of money from you by force through the use of IRS agents and, if necessary, the government seizure of your assets. On the health care front, remember it was the U.S. government that committed medical violence against children by forcing teens with cancer to undergo chemotherapy against their will (http://www.naturalnews.com/019617.html). Various local governments also routinely threaten vegan parents with having their children taken away by Child Protective Services if they don’t start feeding their children processed factory foods such as hamburgers. The FDA, for its part, routinely sends extremely threatening letters to natural product companies (cherry growers, walnut growers, green tea importers, etc.) that contain extremely threatening language that imply company executives will be “criminally prosecuted” by the FDA, or have their assets seized, or even have their businesses shut down if they don’t agree to admit to crimes they never even committed (selling “unapproved drugs” which are really just cherries). (http://www.naturalnews.com/019366.html) No one is surprised when the government uses the threat of violence to get what it wants these days. Today, the government actually commits felony crimes against the American people on a daily basis! It’s called the “enhanced pat-down” by the TSA. If you did the exact same thing to another person at your office, you would be arrested as a “violent criminal” and charged with sexual assault. The FDA, too, has a long history of armed raids against innocents (http://www.naturalnews.com/021791.html) who were merely trying to help others improve their health with the power of nutritional supplements. These raids are always conducted with the use of firearms. The FDA even sent agents into Ecuador last year to illegally kidnap Greg Caton (http://www.naturalnews.com/027750_Greg_Caton_FDA.html) and fly him out of the country, in complete violation of international law. This, too, was conducted with the use of multiple armed agents wielding firearms. More recently, the U.S. government led an armed raid on a Venice, California food cooperative selling raw milk (http://www.naturalnews.com/030136_Rawesome_foods_raid.html). When the government commits acts of violence, it’s okay? There are many other examples of similar acts of violence by the government committed against the People of America, but it all brings me to this important question: Why are people so outraged when citizens commit acts of violence against a government official while relatively few people seem to care when the government commits acts of violence against the People? The outrage expressed in the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords is entirely justified, as violence is never the answer to disputes. Yet shouldn’t we all be similarly outraged when the government uses violence or the threat of violence to achieve its own political aims with the People? The mainstream media is dedicating a tremendous amount of coverage to this story on Giffords, and that is certainly appropriate for its own reasons. But did that same media cover the armed raid of a raw milk food store in California? Of course not. Or how about the story that the U.S. government is conspiring with the GMO industry to threaten “a list of retaliatory targets” in Europe who resist the introduction of GMOs there? (http://www.naturalnews.com/030828_GMOs_Wikileaks.html) You won’t find that story in the New York Times, USA Today, LA Times or any other U.S. newspaper that I’m aware of. The language used by the U.S. ambassador to France — the “list of retaliatory targets” — is precisely the kind of language that Sarah Palin is now accused of using against her political opponents in America. Sarah is being called out as an instigator of this shooting, yet I’m not aware of a single mainstream news outlet in America that bothered to cover this story of the U.S. government’s GMO conspiracy to push toxic crops into Europe. By the way, I’m not a Sarah Palin supporter, so that’s not where this is coming from. I’m a Ron Paul supporter, but now it seems that even supporting something like a desire to audit the Fed or honor the Constitution is going to be characterized as “radical” speech that will somehow be blamed for these acts of violence carried out by the mentally deranged. Non-violence must be a two-way street This is not meant in any way to excuse this act of violence against Giffords and those who attended her meeting. I’m already on the record condemning this act, and in every case that I have pushed for grassroots advocacy on this website, it has been done with the strict urging of non-violent action . Yet, unlike so many in the mainstream media, I believe non-violence should work both ways. I believe the United States government should stop using violence and the threat of violence against its own People in its efforts to oppress food freedom, to vaccinate children against their parents’ will, and to force people to buy into a health care plan they do not wish to purchase or use. If you do not yet understand that the government uses violence as a matter of course to get its way, then I challenge you to stop paying your property taxes for a few years and see what happens. Before long, your property will be taken from you (seized) and then sold in order to pay your “liability” to the government. And when they come to remove you from your property, will they bring happy people bearing flowers? Nope. They bring men with guns. The guns, of course, are at their sides to let you know that your compliance is not voluntary. (I pay my property taxes, by the way, and I’m not opposed to financially supporting local government where it makes sense. I use this as a simple example to point out one way in which the threat of violence is used by government.) Real peace requires governments to be kept in check If we truly condemn violence, we must condemn it from all sources, including our own governments which are, strictly speaking, the most violent and murderous organizations in the history of the world. Virtually every mass-murder that has taken place in human history has been carried out by a government claiming to be working for “a better world.” (Hitler, Stalin, Mao, you name it…) This is why the most peaceful society is one in which the government’s power is not absolute , and where the government is held in check by the citizenry who watch over the actions of government. This is also precisely why the founding fathers of the United States of America specifically created a limited federal government structure while guaranteeing certain freedoms and rights to the People as enumerated in the Bill of Rights. When Bush was in office, the government took huge steps to weaken that Bill of Rights with the setting up of secret military prisons and the Patriot Act which allows the government to arrest and detain you indefinitely , without being charged, with no attorney, for any reason they claim is related to terrorism. The Patriot Act, of course, exists in complete violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. President Obama actually ran on the platform that he would shut down Guantanamo Bay and end the secret military prisons. (There’s another broken campaign promise, eh?) Statistically speaking, the risk of violent acts occurring in any given country is far, far greater when governments rule over their people with absolute tyranny (Mussolini, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc.) than in a more balanced scale of power where governments must answer to the People. The most important way to prevent violence over the long term is to keep government in check and make sure that its power never nullifies the rights of the People. This is not a conservative nor liberal point of view. This is a practical peace philosophy that recognizes this simple inescapable fact: Most of the violence committed in our world has been committed by governments against their own people (or against the people of other nations). As someone who finds the application of violence to resolve problems deeply offensive, I am appalled by the mainstream media’s “selective” outcry of violent acts in certain selected situations while they ignore the threat of violence used every day by the government itself. The violent resolution of disagreements is unacceptable in a civilized society, yet the media apparently has no problem whatsoever covering their eyes and allowing violence to be committed against the People by the government. Stop government violence against innocents That is the real tragedy here. How many more innocents must be killed by acts of violence committed by the government before we will wake up and realize that peace is a two-way street? When the government stops allowing the poisoning our water supply (fluoride), poisoning our food (GMOs), and the mass poisoning of our children (vaccines and psychiatric medication), the anti-government rhetoric will quickly reflect such changes and naturally morph into something far less confrontational. There is a sensible reason why the anti-government rhetoric of today is so strong: Because government is not listening to the People . When the federal government bails out rich Wall Street banksters to the tune of trillions of dollars while everyday people are losing their jobs and homes, people tend to get irritated (to say the least). When people are treated like cattle by the TSA and sexually molested for merely trying to travel on an airplane, they tend to not like that very much. When farmers are arrested for selling raw cow’s milk to their neighbors, and people who carry homemade chocolate are arrested and treated like drug smugglers, it tends to tee off more than a few citizens. And when the Obama administration forces us all into buying an insurance police for a sick-care system that we neither use, nor support, nor believe in, people can get downright angry about it. This is not irrational; it is entirely understandable. And it deserves open debate which must include people being able to stand up and point out what’s wrong with various government laws, or policies, or regulatory agencies. This is part of the Democratic process . Maybe instead of asking why so many people are speaking out against the government, the media should be asking why the government has so little respect for the rights and freedoms of the People in the first place. And perhaps instead of condemning the People so often, the government should spend a little time trying to figure out how to serve the People . That is, of course, what government was supposed to do in the first place: Serve the interests of the People. Questioning your government is necessary in any functioning democracy To the extent that government continues to betray the People (FDA, TSA, CDC, etc.), it should surprise no one that the People aren’t happy about it. Questioning government is one of the most patriotic acts in which an American citizen can engage, because it is that questioning — and a demand for accountability — that forces bureaucrats to answer to the People in some small way. It is shameful and inexcusable that the mainstream media would now exploit this act of extreme violence committed in Arizona and use it as a condemnation of those who seek to keep their government in check by asking intelligent questions. It’s almost as if the media now wants to order Americans to “shut up and do what you’re told” because Big Government has all the answers for you. Just take your vaccine shots, buy your rip-off sick-care insurance and keep sweating away to earn a few dollars while the Federal Reserve effectively steals your money by creating trillions of dollars that are used to bail out the world’s wealthy elite. If the mere act of questioning the integrity of the federal government is now going to be blamed for every violent act, then we truly live under a society where the insanity of Jared Loughner has infected the minds of the newsmakers, too. It is a cowardly act to hide behind these deaths in Arizona while shouting out, “The questioners caused this! No more questioning the government!” This is precisely what the government-controlled press announced in the Nazi era. Anyone who dared to ask questions about Hitler’s ever-expanding power was arrested and (usually) put to death. I believe this is a time when, more than ever, we all need to be standing up and asking questions such as: Is the FDA’s censorship against healthy nutrition part of the reason we have so much mental illness in America? There’s a question that makes the mainstream media extremely uncomfortable. Pharmaceutical advertising money is at stake, of course, and the last thing the media wants is people asking questions that really threaten to expose the truth behind why so many people in America suffer from mental illness. Hint: It has everything to do with nutrition, which has everything to do with the FDA’s tyrannical censorship of free speech about nutritional therapies. We’ll cover more about that in a follow-up story. In the mean time, keep questioning government . It is your duty as a free citizen to do so. It is essential to the health and long-term sustainability of any democracy. It is patriotic and fundamentally necessary for the protection of freedom in a functioning democracy. Do not let the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords be the beginning of America’s jack-booted march down the dark path of stifling Free Speech and demonizing rational dissent. My heart goes out to Giffords, her staffers and the others who were killed or wounded in this senseless act of violence. I literally pray for a world where all such violence comes to end, including government acts of violence against the People.

Urgent: Democrats attempting to pass Food Safety Act by hiding it inside appropriations bill HR 3082

(NaturalNews) In a last-ditch effort to resurrect S.510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, House Democrats are effectively hiding approval of the bill inside another bill — HR 3082, an appropriations bill meant to fund the Department of Veterans Affairs. Health freedom attorney Ralph Fucetola has been monitoring this situation closely and warns that the House could “sneak” approval for S.510 through as early as tomorrow (Thursday). The John Birch Society website reports that HR 3082 is “a complicated affair,” encompassing, “…more money for Obama’s ‘Race to the Top,’ for NASA, the Veterans Administration, increased military pay and for military programs that pay compensation for private citizens in Iraq and Afghanistan, for fighting terrorism in Yemen and for helping the Israelis anti-rocket defense shield. plus the funding of many other government agencies and programs.” (http://www.jbs.org/component/content/article/1009-commentary/6574-lame-duck-legislative-update) Because passage of HR 3082 may be imminent, thereby allowing the Senate to re-vote on the bill very quickly, Fucetola urges all health freedom advocates to take the following urgent action: Take Action NOW for each member of your household to tell your Representatives that you STONGLY OPPOSE adopting the language of S. 510 in this or any other amendment or bill: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5303 Visit http://www.congress.org/congressorg/directory/congdir.tt and enter your zip code to find your Representative’s name and phone number.

Researcher warns: watching medical TV shows can make you feel sick

(NaturalNews) According to a new study out of the University of Rhode Island (URI), watching a lot of television can be bad for your health. And, no, this isn’t more research about how being a couch potato and munching on junk food while watching the boob tube is unhealthy. Instead, this study zeroes in on the heavy dose of medical content in doctor-centered dramas like “House”, “Grey’s Anatomy” and “E.R.”, as well as the evening news. It turns out, according to study author Yinjiao Ye, assistant professor of communications studies at URI, TV exposure to information about health risks and diseases that are supposedly lurking around every corner can lead people to worry about their bodies and wonder whether it’s even possible to protect their own health. For her study, Dr. Ye surveyed 274 students in the College of Communications at the University of Alabama about their TV viewing and life satisfaction. The students, who were in an age group (18 to 31) associated with good health and energy, did not know the purpose of the study. Dr. Ye found that regularly watching television shows that dramatized disease and pushed medical issues actually reduced a person’s satisfaction with their life. The research, just published in the journal Mass Communication and Society , suggests people who watch a lot of medical-themed TV come away with the idea that people frequently get sick and there’s not much that can be done about major illness. That leads them to believe they have a great likelihood of being victimized by health risks and diseases. In addition, it also promotes a strong belief in the severity of those risks and problems. In a statement to the media, Dr. Ye pointed out that the mass media are powerful in disseminating health knowledge — but they also can lead people to think they are more likely to suffer from the diseases presented on TV. So, if you are really interested in the health benefits of life satisfaction on health and longevity, she suggested that leisure activities such as socializing and exercise may be better options that spending time watching medical themed television shows. Another reason to beware of disease and doctor-centered programs: previous research that analyzed popular TV dramas like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “House” found some of the medical information presented, especially the first aid techniques portrayed on these shows, was not correct or even safe. For example, a study presented at the American Academy of Neurology’s annual meeting held in Toronto earlier this year revealed that 59 seizures occurred in 327 episodes of these shows. Almost all were shown taking place in a hospital and first aid was performed by “nurses” or “doctors” who, over half the time, delivered emergency care that was inappropriate — including holding the person down, trying to stop involuntary movements or putting something in the person’s mouth. In addition, when Duke University researchers studied almost 100 episodes of a variety of doctor-themed programs, including “ER”, they found CPR portrayals were two to five times more successful than real-life situations and created false and potentially dangerous impressions about the risks and benefits of this rescue technique. Specifically, the study found that in the fictional world of doctor dramas, patients either fully recovered or immediately died after CPR. The shows virtually ignored the very real possibility of long-term or permanent disability caused by their disease, treatment or the CPR itself.
