How to prevent and reverse cancer

Heaven forbid you ever hear the words: “You have cancer”. But if you did – what would you do? I would hope you find the courage and conviction to embrace life and defeat cancer with all your power. A cancer diagnosis is NOT a death sentence – it’s a wake up call – which…

Obama administration announces ‘War on Terror’ is over; so can we fire the TSA and repeal the Patriot Act now?

In an astonishing bit of unexpected news, a senior State Department official has announced, “The war on terror is over.” This stems from the idea, reports the National Journal, that, “it is no longer the case, in other words, that every Islamist is seen as a potential…

Feds urge churches to peddle flu shots to members, partner with drug stores to sponsor flu clinics

(NaturalNews) Every year, the federal government and its pawns in state and local governments get a little bit more aggressive in their push for full compliance with the flu vaccine agenda. And this year, they are targeting faith-based groups and the leaders of such groups, which include pastors, priests, rabbis, and imams — to promote flu vaccines to their members during religious services, and even to partner with local drug stores to hold flu vaccine clinics. In a recent issue of the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Partnership Center Newsletter , the agency wrote about its new Seasonal Flu Guide for Community and Faith-based Organizations and Leaders . The aim of initiative is to use religious leaders and institutions to increase flu vaccine compliance. And in order to ensure success, HHS held a private conference call recently — no press allowed — to discuss strategies. “[F]aith and community leaders play an integral role in helping to keep their communities and congregations healthy, especially during flu season,” says the HHS announcement. “As trusted messengers, (religious leaders) are able to spread important information about health practices and the need for vaccination.” You can view the full HHS announcement here: http://www.hhs.gov/partnerships/resources/newsletter/111411.html In other words, government authorities, apparently unsatisfied with the current vaccination rate, are now looking to trusted religious leaders to become “messengers” for delivering Big Pharma’s flu vaccine propaganda to their congregations. The end goal of all this, of course, is to convince those who have rejected the flu vaccine that it is safe and effective (which it is not), and to persuade them to take it. The whole initiative is a product of the White House’s Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, which is really just a benign-sounding name for the federal government’s “Trojan Horse” promotion of its own agendas via religion. And it already appears to be working quite well to promote flu vaccines as, during the conference call, officials allegedly spoke of a Catholic priest who stopped during the middle of his sermon to receive a flu shot — needless to say, many inspired clergy and parishioners immediately followed suit. As part of this push to turn religion into a catalyst for promoting flu vaccines, federal officials hope churches and religious institutions will also actively partner with local drug stores like Walgreens to hold flu shot clinics. The endless barrage of flu shot advertisements, promotions, and incentives that drug stores already utilize on their own is apparently still not enough to convince many members of the public to willingly accept the useless vaccine (http://www.naturalnews.com/033998_influenza_vaccines_effectiveness.html).

TSA strip-searches 85-year-old woman in wheelchair while National Organization for Women (N.O.W.) remains shamelessly silent

(NaturalNews) For a federal government that has gone insane with criminality, no act of violating fundamental human rights is too outrageous anymore. In the latest chapter of the U.S. government’s police state humiliation of innocent American women, an 85-year-old woman in a wheelchair, Lenore Zimmerman, was strip-searched by TSA agents who left her bleeding from a painful gash in her leg. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/dec/04/woman-claims-strip-search-jfk-airport) “They took me into a private room and strip-searched me,” says Zimmerman. “They took my pants down… and then they took my underwear down.” (http://www.local10.com/news/85-year-old-says-she-was-strip-searched-at-JFK/-/1717324/4870970/-/4dg4fk/-/index.html) The TSA responded with what can only be a carefully-worded lie, claiming, “While we regret that the passenger feels she had an unpleasant screening experience, TSA does not include strip searches as part of our security protocols and one was not conducted in this case.” Oh, so now Lenore is a liar? Why would an 85-year-old grandmother lie about being strip-searched by the TSA? So the TSA blames her for inventing all this, claiming it essentially never happened. (http://www.local10.com/news/85-year-old-says-she-was-strip-searched-at-JFK/-/1717324/4870970/-/4dg4fk/-/index.html) “Why would I make up this story?” Zimmerman responded in a NY Daily News article. “In my wildest dreams, I couldn’t think of such a thing happening.” (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/lenore-zimmerman-outraged-tsa-denies-strip-searched-85-year-old-long-island-grandmother-article-1.986437) Let me get this straight: So if the TSA takes your grandmother into the back room and has their way with her, she might have an “unpleasant experience” but it’s all 100% approved by the TSA which then denies the whole incident even took place? This is the yet another sign of the runaway criminality of the TSA and the entire federal government which now feels it is above the law and answerable to no one. That more people aren’t engaged in a massive outcry against this also shows the extreme desensitization of the public which has already been achieved. Had this event happened just a decade ago, the national media would have been in an uproar. That it happened in 2011, during an era when the TSA routinely conducts illegal molestations of air travelers, apparently doesn’t even raise eyebrows anymore. And that’s pathetic (more below…). Secret laws that can never be challenged The federal government currently claims that when you enter an airport, you are essentially “government property” and its agents can do anything to you that they want, with zero protections, no boundaries and no recourse. In fact, in dismissing Gov. Jesse Ventura’s recent lawsuit against the TSA, a federal court recently put forth the following astonishing points in its ruling: 1) TSA’s laws are “secret” and you cannot know what they are. (It’s “national security” didn’t ya know?) 2) TSA’s laws can be changed at any time without notice. (And you still can’t know what they are.) 3) You must abide by these secret laws even though you do not have any right to know what they are. (We don’t have to tell you what the rules are, but you have to follow them anyway!) 4) These laws may never be challenged by anyone, even if they violate federal law, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution or even basic human rights. In other words, technically speaking the TSA could pass a “secret” administration rule right that gives all TSA agents the right to have unrestricted deviant sexual intercourse with all selected air travelers as a “right” that cannot be challenged (just like with the kings in the Dark Ages). Under these perverse rules, the TSA could declare all Middle Eastern people to be a sub-human species, or require all teenage boys to be “thoroughly searched” Sandusky-style. I’m not making this up. The TSA now has the “administrative right” to do all these things, according to federal courts. And none of it can be challenged. (Outrageous!) This is obviously a total violation of U.S. law and the very principles of freedom upon which this country was founded. The Fourth Amendment means what it says. It is not subject to “administrative nullification.” We are living under a police state system right now, as you read this… Obscene violations of the rights of women Getting back to the grandmother in the wheelchair, she had asked to avoid the microwave radiation naked body scanner because she has a heart defibrillator surgically implanted in her chest, and she was concerned the machine’s radiation might interfere with her medical device. So in what now appears to be a clear punishment for daring to request “special” treatment, Lenore Zimmerman was subjected to an 11-minute humiliation and psychological torture session by thuggish, criminal-minded TSA agents who have been repeatedly caught engaging in other criminal acts such as distributing child pornography (http://www.naturalnews.com/030787_child_pornography_TSA_agents.html), stealing the valuable electronics of air travelers (http://www.naturalnews.com/032947_TSA_thefts.html), planting fake bags of cocaine in travelers’ luggage (http://www.naturalnews.com/030302_TSA_naked_body_scanners.html), and even flashing their TSA badges and then raping women (http://www.wjla.com/articles/2011/11/harold-rodman-tsa-worker-arrested-for-sexual-assault-69420.html). The TSA is an out-of-control agency that openly violates the rights of women in particular, respecting no boundaries of human decency or personal privacy. It openly violates the core tenants of the United States Constitution and its Bill of Rights which specifically protects the People from “illegal search and seizure” schemes dreamed up by tyrannical government. In fact, the Fourth Amendment was written into the Bill of Rights for precisely this kind of scenario which also existed pre-1776 when occupying British soldiers raped and fondled colonial women as they pleased, then claimed they had the “king’s right” to engage in such behavior. Our forefathers said, “Enough is enough!” And before they put this rule on paper, they put more than a few musket bullets through the thick skulls of the British soldiers who learned the hard way what “justice” really means. Such is history of revolution. All for a “terror” threat that’s 100% imagined The real shocker in all this is that the TSA’s security mandate was put in place in response to an imagined threat that was entirely fabricated by the U.S. government itself. This government has virtually the entire nation running scared of imaginary “terrorists,” believing there are terrorists hiding under ever bed, around every dark corner, and plotting to kill everybody if not for the presence of all these thuggish police who are somehow protecting us from terrorists and maybe demonic leprechauns, too. OMG, there could be terrorists hiding in your pants! Hadn’t we better check there? And yet, look around you. Have you ever seen a terrorist? Seriously. Have you EVER seen a terrorist? Have you ever seen a mad bomber? Have you ever seen the FBI actually stop a terror plot that it didn’t dream up itself to begin with? (http://www.naturalnews.com/033751_FBI_terrorism.html) Don’t you get it? There is no terrorism in America other than what the government itself has been creating! The whole thing is an “Emperor Has No Clothes” mirage that has the public acting out some sort of shared delusion that we’re all under assault by these evil, imaginary terrorists. Janet Napolitano insists “if you see something, say something” but in reality, nobody even sees anything because the war on terror is a complete fabricated fraud . To see something, you’d have to dream it up first, just like the FBI does. The very best article ever written on this topic was penned by Paul Craig Roberts , former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury and former associated editor of the Wall Street Journal. Entitled, “In the War on Terror a Hoax?” (http://www.infowars.com/?p=62008), this article exposes the total fraud and fabrication of this falsely engineered war. I’ve posted comments on that spot-on analysis at: http://www.naturalnews.com/034321_war_on_terror_paranoia_hoax.html Only read it if you really want to know the real truth behind the fabricated war on terror. For how long will the American sheeple allow government criminals to strip-search their wives, mothers and grandmothers? Even in North Korea, the tyrant police state administrators don’t reach down the pants of civilians who are merely trying to travel. That form of sexually-perverse tyranny is unique to the United States of America, to the great shock of the rest of the world. It is astonishing that woman’s rights groups aren’t marching in the streets over the TSA’s sexual molestation of women — palming their breasts, back-handing their genitals, strip-searching them for no logical reason. These are not merely crimes against Americans, they are crimes against women in particular. Where is the National Organization for Women in all this? The utter silence of the N.O.W. on this issue — as grandmothers are being strip-searched, detained, bloodied and badgered — is nothing less than a total indictment of the false agenda of that entire organization. If the N.O.W. will not stand up for women in their time of need right now, as they are being physically and mentally abused by the federal government in airports across the nation, then the organization’s entire reason for existence is a total fraud . It might as well just dissolve itself and admit it only “selectively” stands up for women when such a stance is politically expedient. Or perhaps it should rename itself to be the “National Organization for Women Except for Those Being Abused by Government.” N.O.W.E.T.B.A.G, in other words. Why are women who travel by air not given the same protections as those who work in offices? What is it about N.O.W. that prevents it from speaking out against corrupt, criminal government in the first place? If N.O.W. existed in 1943 as a non-profit in Germany, I suppose it would have stood for “protecting women unless they are Jewish, in which case they can all be gassed to death” because that was the government’s policy at the time, right? I ask: What gives the government the right to abuse women who would otherwise be protected if they were subjected to similar behavior in the workplace? Why is it WRONG for a suit-wearing executive to grab the tush of a co-worker in the office, but it’s perfectly okay for a butch TSA she-brute to fondle the vagina of an innocent traveler and smirk while she calls it “security?” The silence of the N.O.W. in all this is so shameful that I wonder how the top executives and directors of that organization can look themselves in the mirror each day, remaining silent while their own sisters, daughters and mothers are being groped, fondled, abused and tormented by thuggish, psychopathic government agents known as the TSA? Just because the TSA claims to be fighting an imaginary war on an imaginary enemy that they claim lives inside your pants doesn’t make it true. It’s absurd from the start. The situation with N.O.W. is actually even worse than what I’ve describe here: The TSA was an exhibitor at a National N.O.W. Conference in 2009 where it maintained an information table or booth (http://www.now.org/organization/conference/2009/exhibitors.html). Is the TSA recruiting at the N.O.W. conference? Is this not the ultimate in total hypocrisy and a conspiracy of crime against women? Hey women: If you’re sexually abused in a GOVERNMENT workplace, that’s suddenly okay The upshot of all this is apparently that if you are a woman, and your “workplace” is a government office claiming to be fighting terror, you can now be sexually abused, groped, tormented and even stripped naked against your will and the N.O.W. won’t say a word , apparently. Suddenly it’s all magically okay because of an imaginary “terrorist” enemy that’s no more real than the Easter Bunny or the cartoon elves from Rice Krispies. Shame on N.O.W. for its inexcusable silence as our nation’s women are being sexually and psychologically abused — even bloodied — by government agents. Shame on the thuggish abusers who take these TSA jobs and carry out this police state agenda in exchange for a paycheck and the promise of a pension (which will one day be stolen from them, of course). Shame on the mainstream media for whitewashing this story, ignoring the muffled cries of all the women, teenage daughters, moms and grandmothers who are being routinely abused in all this, almost as if Penn State’s football coaching staff were directing the TSA’s strip-search protocols. Shame on America for allowing this to go on, day after day, in complete and blatant violation of the Peoples’ Fourth Amendment rights (not to mention fundamental human rights). A nation of people who will routinely let the government stick their hands down their pants — and excuse it all by claiming there are invisible “terrorists” hiding around every corner — is a nation of cowards who have forgotten what freedom really means. While tyrants run rampant, America sleeps… Will America ever awaken to protecting innocents against tyrants? I can only wonder, what event of overreaching tyranny will awaken the sleeping People? Will it take a TSA agent openly raping little boys in the back room? Or would that be okay, too, as long as somebody claims they’re “fighting terror”? Maybe Napolitano should be replaced by Sandusky, and then we’d have even better security in America because all the young boys would be checked for bombs inside and out, huh? Yeah, it’s sick. I apologize for even needing to draw these parallels, but this is the level of insanity that has now been achieved by the TSA and its open molestation and torture of innocent travelers. At what point has it gone too far, I ask you? If the TSA claims it can merely write its own supreme rules that are subject to no law, no legal review and no courts challenge , then what’s to stop the TSA from just ruling over the entire nation as a criminal police force that routinely rapes daughters and children on street-corner TSA checkpoints? Is there no requirement for the TSA to abide by any laws whatsoever? Are we honestly supposed to believe that the actions of the TSA will be held in check solely by the “ethics” of the TSA itself? Are you kidding? Are you insane? This is the whole point of checks and balances, folks. The Bill of Rights is a check against tyrants who, throughout history, have “gone TSA” on their own populations and ended up raping their own innocent civilians merely because nothing stopped them from doing so. The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to HALT government attempts to overreach its limited mandate, and today, nothing is stopping the TSA from getting worse by the day. If the courts will not intervene, and all laws are openly ignored, and the local police and sheriffs will do nothing to stop these criminals operating at the airports, then I must ask the inevitable question: At what point must obedience to the LAW be enforced by the citizens themselves? I can only wonder what it’s going to take before the sheeple of America decide they’ve had enough and they march into their local airports with the local Sheriff and bunch of armed deputies carrying M4 rifles and they ARREST THE TSA AGENTS and charge them with not just the crimes they have committed, but conspiracy to commit those crimes as well. TSA agents, after all, would feel right at home in prison where getting gang raped is part of the culture. Heck, it might be so familiar to them all that they would mistake prison for a “federal workplace!”

Report: Investors (China?) buying up US farmland at alarming rate

(NaturalNews) There are arguably a number of varying factors influencing the mass farmland sell-off currently taking place in the American Midwest. One thing seems certain, though — America’s once-treasured farming tradition is quickly fading into history as the next generation of Americans abandon rural life, and investors come in to snap up their fertile plots of soil in Iowa and elsewhere. The trend of migration from rural to urban life is nothing new. But what is relatively new is the heightened interest among investors from around the country, and even from around the world, in purchasing US farmland as a type of “hedge” commodity for their portfolios — and this is especially true as the value of farmland continues its rise to record levels. A recent Reuters report explains that in Iowa, an agricultural mecca marked mostly by corn and soy crops these days, fertile farmland has become a hot commodity that is attracting many out-of-towners. Unable or simply unwilling to further the legacy of their parents and grandparents, farmland heirs are selling or auctioning off their family land to the highest bidder. At the same time, demand for farmland is so high that many landowners feel it just makes good financial sense to sell their land. According to the latest figures, farmland prices in Iowa have increased about 24 percent within the past year, and the average per-acre price of cropland across the state is now $5,700 (http://www.iowafarmertoday.com/news/regional/iowa-farmland-values-soar-again/article_60910298-145e-11e1-9ee9-001cc4c002e0.html). Another issue is the exorbitant federal estate tax, also known as the “death” tax, that farm heirs are levied following a farmer’s death. This tax, which can exceed 50 percent of an estate’s total value in some cases, can force farm heirs to sell some or all of the land just to pay it, which inadvertently forces farming families out of the business whether they want to or not. And just who is buying all this land? Well, as we reported a few months ago, wealthy investors like George Soros (http://www.naturalnews.com/033319_food_prices_farmland.html), and China, which currently holds the most US debt currency in the form of Federal Reserve Notes (http://www.crikey.com.au/2011/06/16/foreign-ownership-of-aussie-land-the-peril-of-selling-the-farm/) have been busy buying farmland around the world. In other words, when the ever-worsening economic meltdown eventually leads to massive food shortages, Americans will have already sold their source of food down the river for a heap of worthless debt currency.

While consumers shop, U.S. descends into planned financial implosion that favors corporate elite

(NaturalNews) We live in interesting times. Even as our own civilization hangs on the precipice of financial solvency, the priorities of the uninformed masses as so distorted that many will actually camp out in front of a Best Buy store in order to be the first in line to save $100 on a big-screen TV. In a time when the very problems of society are rooted in over-consumption and too much television , the everyday pleebs place such high importance on expanding the size of their mainstream media hypnosis devices that they will physically fight each other to get one of these TVs at a slightly lower price. Meanwhile, the federal debt has plunged past $15 trillion, the freedoms and liberties upon which America built its economic strength are fast eroding, and the U.S. has practically entered a fighting war with Pakistan (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/26/us-pakistan-nato-idUSTRE7AP03S20111126). Pay no mind to any of that, friends. Wal-Mart has teflon-coated waffle makers on sale for two bucks off! Sleight-of-mind distractions Meanwhile, the 2012 presidential election races are under way, and the mainstream media seems determined to catapult anyone into the White House as long as his name isn’t Ron Paul. The last thing the globalist controllers really want is someone who dares to tell the People the truth about topics that matter — the Federal Reserve, national debt, foreign wars, the Bill of Rights and more. Presidents are supposed to be entertainers and distracters , didn’t you know? When a nation’s collision with financial reality is all but inescapable, that nation inevitably turns to bread and circuses . And so sleight-of-mind distractions invite the masses to invest their attention in dancing with the stars, lusting after the latest electronics gadgets, and tuning in to staged news footage from the front lines of the fabricated “war on terror” where U.S. troops are now openly engaged in the planting, harvesting and protecting of the opium trade in Afghanistan. You can talk about anything you want in America, it seems, as long as it’s not the Bill of Rights, or buying something with cash, or exercising your Free Speech rights — because all of those things are now considered signs of being a suspected terrorist . Layers of deceit The most astonishing thing about it all is how many layers of wool have been pulled over the eyes of the American people, most of whom suffer under the illusion that they still live in a “free” country. Where to begin in educating people about this? First, there’s the engineered “war on terror” which was entirely invented, carried out and sold to the American people as a way to justify more war spending and the stripping away of fundamental human rights. Then there’s the economic quackery taking place right under our noses as the Federal Reserve — a private corporation that answers to no one — has been quietly and deliberately stealing America’s wealth for nearly a hundred years. Following the money is simply too difficult for mainstream Americans, who are unable to grasp how purchasing power is deliberately stolen from them through the dilution of the money supply. You’re never supposed to get ahead, don’t you know? A common wage earner can no more save money and make it into the ranks of the ultra wealthy than a frog can transform into a magical unicorn. That’s because a small percentage of your wealth — everything you’ve worked for — is stolen from you year after year, much like the way in which rain erodes a pile of sand that you might have stacked and shoveled into a mound. The economic deceit is designed to keep you enslaved; to keep you working for the globalist corporations that pocket the profits of your labors — and usually tax-free! Two examples: Bank of America pays NO taxes (http://www.thestreet.com/story/11059978/bank-of-america-pays-no-taxes-gets-1b-refund-report.html), and General Motors also runs a sweet offshore tax shelter structure that makes it virtually immune to paying taxes at all: http://money.cnn.com/2011/02/23/news/companies/gm_bailout/index.htm Meanwhile, YOU are taxed when you earn (payroll taxes, paid by your employer), taxed when you save (capital gains taxes) and taxed when you spend (sales taxes). You’re even taxed when you just sit on a pile of money and do nothing (monetary devaluation / price inflation). And remarkably, some of the more ignorant members of society have been out protesting, calling for more taxes on the People as a “solution” to all this! No, my friends. We do not need more taxes on the People. In fact, let me explain something to you that will absolutely astonish you once you grasp the simple truth of it: The U.S. government needs NO TAX MONEY whatsoever to operate! The myth of government needing tax money How’s that? You’ve all been told the government needs a few trillion dollars a year in tax revenues to build bombs, make roads, pay social security benefits and the like, right? It is the Great Lie of our time. Allow me to explain… The idea that the U.S. government needs us to send it our money is rooted in the false assumption that the government cannot simply create the money it wants to spend. And yet, we all now know that to be false. For example, in October 2008 during the first investment banker crisis, the U.S. government (via the Federal Reserve) simply created nearly $1 trillion and handed that money over to the richest, filthiest banksters on the planet. Here’s a partial list of who received the money (and this list isn’t even up to date) http://projects.propublica.org/bailout/list Where did this money come from? Think about it. Did you send in some cash to help with this bailout? Of course not. The money was created out of thin air by the U.S. Treasury working in conspiracy with the Federal Reserve. And that wasn’t even the end of it: Between 2008 and 2011, the U.S. government conspired with the Federal Reserve to create trillions more — in what can only be called “counterfeit” money — and then hand it over to the world’s wealthiest corporations, banks and institutions. According to the New York Times, the U.S. government has now committed $12.2 trillion to these institutions: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/02/04/business/20090205-bailout-totals-graphic.html Okay, so where is all this money coming from? Did the U.S. government ask every taxpayer to send in a check to cover this $12 trillion? Nope, because that would have required each American man, woman and child to pay $40,000 just to cover it. That obviously didn’t happen, so where did this money come from? The government just CREATED the money out of thin air. There is technically no need for federal income taxes Here’s the kicker in all this: The government could be creating money right now to end the entire federal tax system so that no American citizen would ever need to pay tax again. The tax code, after all, was originally created only to tax corporations , not the People. Yet today it’s the wealthiest corporations that are paying no tax while the People are being bankrupted by it. So the government, you see, could simply create the few trillion dollars it needs each year to pay for defense spending (bombs and bullets), interest on the debt, social security, Medicare, etc. And that means the government technically doesn’t need YOUR tax dollars at all! Now, of course, it would be financial suicide for the government to keep creating trillions of dollars each year, thereby eroding the purchasing power of the dollar and resulting in price inflation across the nation — but it’s doing that anyway! In other words, the government is already CREATING trillions of dollars in new money, year after year, solely for the benefit of the wealthy banksters and global corporate giants. So if the government is already headed into total financial insolvency (runaway debt increases combined with an upcoming currency collapse) — why not use this suicidal process to help the People for a while instead of just bailing out the wealthy corporations? Imagine this: The IRS announces a cancellation of the personal income tax. You no longer have to file on April 15th. You can keep all the money you’ve earned, other than state income taxes. Can you imagine the economic boom that would result? People who earn more will spend more, thereby unleashing a domino effect of new job creation across the economy. People would be happier, stress would be lowered, and we would probably see a reduction in heart attacks and suicides, too. The federal government, meanwhile, would simply create a couple of trillion dollars each year to fund its own budgetary needs, and we could all ride this insane financial monster into the ground together while at least avoiding the hassle of filling out a stack of income tax paperwork every April. There’s no question, you see, that the U.S. government is headed into total financial insolvency. I’m just saying that as long as we’re headed that way, we should be bailing out the People instead of bailing out the rich banksters and wealthy corporations. Why not cancel the income tax next April 15th and announce an income tax bailout for the working people? Don’t you see that the bankster bailouts are the most obscene example of crony capitalism? The money goes to the insider pals while the debt burden is heaped upon the working poor. That’s the real problem with America — not capitalism , but criminality! The real purpose of the income tax – it’s not what you think So if the tax code is not needed to generate money for the government, what is its purpose, you ask? The purpose of the federal tax code is to keep you down, to keep your face buried in the dirt so that you can never rise up and “get ahead.” The purpose is not to fund the federal government itself, as you’ve been told. The government has already proven it can create trillions of dollars when it really wants to . So remember that as you’re out spending your after-tax dollars this holiday season. Most of what you have been told by conventional, mainstream sources is pure fabrication: The War on Terror, the “danger” of marijuana, the “right” of the government to reach down your pants at the airport, and of course the “need” for you to “contribute” to the government to pay for roads and schools. It’s all so hilariously fictional that we should all be rolling on the floor laughing about it if we weren’t already writhing from the pain of writing all those checks to the government. Taxes, you see, are really just a financial shakedown . They are an exercise of thuggish government power over the common people for no purpose than to remind the People they are slaves to the state. And for that purpose, federal taxes are very, very effective. Much like the fictional War on Terror, the IRS reminds everybody to “be afraid” and comply. And it works. Even I comply with the federal tax code and dutifully pay what seems to be far too much to the federal government every single year. The difference is that I know it’s all a silly game and has nothing whatsoever to do with actually funding government operations. So I pay, and I chuckle, and I continue to work toward the day when we may see the rise of social justice in America where the money supply is honest, the corporations are stripped of their fictional “rights,” and everyone shares equally in the funding of running a smaller government whose main function is to protect and preserve the rights of the People… not to rule over them like tyrants. Happy Holidays from NaturalNews. Enjoy your Christmas season, but as you spend money this year, I encourage you to look at that money in an enlightened way and realize the deeper truth of where money comes from, how it is created, and how government use money confiscation (and devaluation) to weaken the economic power of the People while concentrating it in the hands of the few.

McDonald’s dumps McMuffin egg supplier after investigation reveals ‘significant’ and ‘serious’ health violations

(NaturalNews) Fast-food giant McDonald’s is once again in the media limelight after it was recently revealed that its West Coast egg supplier has been engaged in “significant and serious violations,” according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). McDonald’s officially ended its relationship with Minnesota-based Sparboe Farms after an undercover investigation exposed severe animal abuse and filthy conditions at the company’s Vincent, Iowa, facility. For years, Sparboe Farms, the fifth-largest factory egg producer in the US, had been the sole supplier of eggs for all McDonald’s restaurants west of the Mississippi River. But after undercover video captured by Mercy for Animals, a Chicago-based animal rights group, went viral, the fast-food chain officially dumped Sparboe as its supplier and issued a public statement about its decision that questioned “the management of Sparboe facilities.” Captured video footage shows factory workers aggressively grabbing chickens by their necks and slamming them in and out of cages, for instance, which is a serious abuse violation. It also shows seemingly endless rows of chicken “battery cages,” where chickens are packed densely in stacked rows of inhumane cages. Chickens that live in such conditions often wallow in their own feces, and some get caught in cage wiring which results in their death. You can watch some of this disturbing footage at the following link: http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/mcdonalds-dumps-mcmuffin-egg-factory-health-concerns/story?id=14976054 The FDA reportedly issued a company-wide warning letter to Sparboe Farms, which operates a number of other factory hen houses in the Midwest, decrying these and other violations. The agency also cited the company for at least 13 violations of its new federal egg rule, which was enacted following the massive egg recall saga from last year (http://www.naturalnews.com/029539_salmonella_eggs.html). Corporate retailer Target, which had also sold Sparboe Farms eggs at its Super Target stores, recently pulled all the company’s eggs from store shelves following the release of the damaging footage. Like McDonald’s, Target expressed surprise at the findings, and took the position that it was unaware of the “unacceptable conditions in the company’s egg laying facilities.” Neither McDonald’s nor Target has indicated who they will choose as their new egg suppliers. But because of the nature of their business models, both companies will likely just choose other factory egg suppliers that utilize many of the same inhumane and filthy chicken raising methods — in other words, consumers can expect more of the same.

TSA refuses to fulfill promise to conduct independent safety investigation of naked body scanners

(NaturalNews) Not even a month after promising to conduct a legitimate, independent study on the safety of the illegal naked body scanners used in airports across the US, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Administrator John Pistole is now saying that such a measure is unnecessary, and that it may not happen after all. ProPublica reports that, despite myriad evidence that the privacy-invading machines can emit high levels of deadly ionizing radiation, Pistole has presented more rehashed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data as “evidence” that the machines are safe — and he is actually purporting that this biased data is sufficient to verify the machines’ safety. “My strong belief is those types of machines are still completely safe,” said Pistole at a recent hearing of the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. “If the determination is that this IG (inspector general) study is not sufficient, then I will look at still yet another additional study.” Unfortunately for Pistole and his cronies at DHS and TSA, having a “strong belief” about something does not make it true. And Pistole’s repeated avoidance of allowing a real investigation into the safety of naked body scanners clearly shows that he and his corrupt agency have something to hide from the public. Pistole’s use of the words “still yet another additional study” basically insinuates that existing studies have already verified the safety of backscatter naked body scanners — but they definitely have not. In fact, the supposed “safety data” that the TSA has been relying on to assert the safety of the machines was exposed as fraudulent earlier this year (http://www.naturalnews.com/032425_airport_scanners_radiation.html). Not only was the data flawed, but the study was conducted in secret by unnamed scientists, and by the company that makes the machines, Rapiscan Systems. The safety tests also did not even involve the actual machines used at airports — they involved phony “mock-up” machines made of random spare parts at the company’s manufacturing unit. That Pistole would even suggest that existing “safety” studies conducted in this manner are legitimate is an insult to the intelligence of every American. And yet millions of Americans continue to comply with TSA’s unconstitutional use of these deadly machines, and willfully subject their bodies to blasts of carcinogenic ionizing radiation every day.

How to grow your own living food (and emergency nutrition) with EasyGreen sprouters

(NaturalNews) It’s one of the top concerns of people everywhere — how do we grow our own food for superior nutrition and food sovereignty? How do we store an emergency food supply that can get us through a crisis when conventional food deliveries to grocery stores may be cut off? One of the most powerful answers to all this is sprouting , and sprouting is no more complicated than having a ready supply of sprouting seeds , then adding water and sprouting your own living nutrition for mere pennies a serving. Three big reasons why people sprout People sprout for three primary reasons: Reason #1) Vegans and vegetarians sprout seeds to eat high-protein living foods which make up the bulk of their diets. Reason #2) Surthrivalists sprout seeds to grow their own emergency foods indoors, using no soils and having a compact food storage benefit (seeds are really tiny, but they sprout into larger foods). Reason #3) Smart consumers sprout seeds in order to save money on their grocery bill, as sprouted seeds provide high-density nutrition at a fraction of the cost of traditional superfoods. Sprouting, in other words, is one of the few strategies used by vegans, vegetarians, survivalists, practical household moms and everybody else who wants to grow their own powerful nutrition for pennies a serving. It’s almost a form of ” micro-gardening ” because you’re practicing small-scale agriculture right on your kitchen counter. Kinda fun, actually… Why sprouts can keep you alive (and more…) Sometimes people joke about those who eat a lot of sprouts (“It’s rabbit food!”), but the science behind sprouting is no joke. Scientifically speaking: • Sprouts synthesize their own natural VITAMINS. • Sprouts are high in blood-cleansing CHLOROPHYLL. • When grown in the right water, sprouts absorb numerous MINERALS and convert them into organic, bioavailable forms for safe human consumption. • Sprouts are LIVING food that provide enzymes and other supportive benefits to human health. • Sprouts are HIGH PROTEIN foods that can also help maintain or even build muscle mass. • Some types of sprouts contain ANTI-CANCER nutrients such as I3C, which are widely documented and also common in cruciferous vegetables. The bottom line is that sprouts can give you living vitamins from plants — and this is something you can enjoy on a daily basis or during a food crisis, if that’s what you reserve it for. How to sprout for (almost) FREE I wouldn’t want to live on sprouts alone, but neither would I want to live without them! For me, they are part of my daily diet of superfood smoothies (avocado chocolate smoothies, for example), quinoa lentil soups and occasional sources of high-quality free-range meats (I’ve been eating more quality meats since working on a ranch in Texas). Sprouting can be as easy as placing seeds in a nut milk bag (or a sprouting bag) and soaking them every few hours to maintain their moisture. This approach, of course, requires a lot of attention to keep the seeds moist but not overly moist to the point where they start to grow mold. But it’s the most affordable way to start sprouting. Video teaches you how to sprout for nearly FREE Check out this awesome video on NaturalNews.TV by Jamison , who shows you how to sprout for (nearly) free: http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=66095ABDE53CD5AC994E73DBFE3EEF0B Here’s also another interesting video from YogaBodyNaturals.com showing “soil-free wheatgrass sprouting” http://www.naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=88E6C66F15E7FFFE65CE4B0E04507E56 Automated sprouting For those who want to automate countertop sprouting , there are a couple of machines on the market that maintain the proper sprout moisture for you. I’ve tried three sprouting devices over the last few years, and the best overall device that I found is called the EasyGreen Sprouter . It’s a countertop unit that helps you grow five trays of sprouts (and you can put a different sprouting seed in each tray) simply, affordably and reliably. In essence, it controls the moisture for you and “waters” your sprouts on a repeating timer while maintaining the right humidity. Using this machine on my countertop (you need to use it next to a sink because it has a small drain tube), I’ve been able to grow masses of sprouts for just pennies a serving: Broccoli sprouts (yeow!), mung bean sprouts (like in Chinese food), wheat grass sprouts (for juicing!), and my favorite, alfalfa sprouts . You can also grow radish sprouts, which are rather intense in their flavor but also contain strong medicine. The EasyGreen Sprouter EQMV The EQMV is the newest model of the EasyGreen Sprouter, which has become a mainstay among healthy living advocates. It comes with: • The EasyGreen MikroFarm sprouting machine (18″ x 24″ x 7.5″) • Mist generator • Activation timer (for controlling the misting frequency) • 5 Food-grade growing trays • Owner’s manual CD This is the unit I own and use (I plan to shoot a video about it soon, like my recent video on cactus fruit juicing.) It allows you to germinate, grow and harvest large quantities of sprouts in mere days, for just pennies a serving. It sits on your kitchen counter and uses water and electricity. That’s it. And the water used to grow your sprouts is never recirculated back into your sprouts, meaning your sprouts are grown in FRESH water only (the used water drains into your sink). You can also add minerals to your sprout water if you wish for them to update additional minerals and transform them into plant-based organic minerals. This is, by far, the healthiest and most natural way to intake minerals — get them from plants! The EasyGreen Sprouter is also stackable , so you can double or triple your sprout production in the same counter space. We’ve got the EasyGreen Sprouter on sale right now at the NaturalNews Store, where it’s being offered at 10% off the normal price for a limited time. This is a great value on a solid countertop device that can significantly enhance your ability to grow nutrition and grow your own emergency food . Click here to see the sale price in the NaturalNews Store . Starting with nothing but seeds and water, you can have edible sprouts in 2-3 days , followed by a much larger harvest in 4-5 days, and you can rotate your trays to continually produce fresh sprouts each day thereafter. You can also produce extra sprouts then refrigerate them while you grow more! So you can “pre-sprout” a larger quantity. If you’re in Europe, purchase through: www.easygreeneurope.com If you’re in Canada, call 888-772-6001 to find out where you can buy it in-country. Sprouting hints and tips It’s better to sprout in a cooler area because a cooler room inhibits any possibility of mold growth. You don’t want refrigeration temperatures, of course, but more like something in the high 60′s or low 70′s (F). By the way, I’ve personally grown teff sprouts , then dried them in a countertop food drying machine after pouring applesauce over the top of the sprouts. This makes a crunchy apple sprout bar that’s an amazing emergency food. Yep, you can “play” with all this and create your own amazing sprouted foods or dried superfoods by using nothing more than a sprouting machine and a food dryer (like the Excalibur units). In fact, I’m so excited about this that I recently purchased a Cabela’s food dehydrator to begin large-scale stored food production. Hopefully I’ll bring you some video reports on that in the weeks ahead! When you get a sprouter, remember to stock up on spouting seeds . These are easy to store (refrigerate them if you have the space), and they provide what seems like a massive amount of sprouts from a relatively tiny amount of sprouting seeds. The effect is quite astonishing. And, believe me, for all you survivalists out there (like me), sprouts are far more nutritious than MREs! I personally enjoy teff sprouts and alfalfa sprouts the most. For me, radish sprouts and broccoli sprouts are way too intense and sharp in their taste. I would only use them sparingly. Mung bean sprouts are great for stir-fry dishes, but of course at that point they are no longer raw and living. Dr. Gabriel Cousens likes to sprout sunflower seeds at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Arizona. I’ve toured their facility and they have a fairly large sunflower seed sprouting operation (way beyond the scope of this single machine), but if you just want to sprout sunflower seeds for personal use or family use, this machine is absolutely perfect. Oh, by the way, you can also sprout chia seeds in this machine, although I haven’t experimented with that very much yet. Enjoy your sprouts! And remember, if you want to save 10% on the EasyGreen Sprouting machine , get it on sale at the NaturalNews Store: Click here to see the sale price in the NaturalNews Store . Enjoy!

Freedom alert: "Occupy" protests may turn violent, followed by reactionary decline into martial law

(NaturalNews) The signs of escalation are unmistakable. In Oakland, Portland, St. Louis, New York, Denver and other cities, local authorities have begun a “crackdown” on Occupy protesters. A woman was raped at Occupy Philadelphia (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2011/11/woman-raped-at-occupy-philadelphia/), and BayCitizen.org is now reporting: “Labor organizers and community activists — including the husband of Mayor Jean Quan — are engaged in a desperate behind-the-scenes effort to prevent a violent showdown between police and protesters at the Occupy Oakland encampment.” (http://www.baycitizen.org/occupy-movement/story/last-minute-attempt-occupy-violence/) In Oakland, the city issued a cease and desist order for protesters to clear out, and similar declarations are being heard at other cities such as New York. But it’s obvious from the talk and demeanor of the protesters that many aren’t going to leave, no matter what! While this alone might already be a recipe for violence, there’s the far more concerning reality of undercover agent provocateurs who work for the government and who are hired to stir up violence! We’ve seen this over and over again, where government agents use persuasion engineering tactics to try to convince innocent protesters to throw pipe bombs, for example, or hurl rocks at windows and unleash a wave a violence. Slouching towards Martial Law The purpose of all this, of course, is for government to intentionally escalate the violence so it can justify a violent crackdown. This crackdown, in turn, might unleash even more violence as protesters fight back, at which point all the mainstream news media networks focus their cameras on the “bloodied police” (while ignoring the bloodied protesters), all while calling for government to “do something about it!” That’s how we end up living under martial law, of course. All it takes is one sufficiently hyped-up violent act for a city, state or even the federal government to issue a state of emergency followed by martial law. This is what they’ve been pushing for all along — they just need an excuse to enact it! Under martial law, all your rights and freedoms are suspended . The Bill of Rights, in other words, is put on hold, and the government could issue a nationwide ban on sales of gold, guns and ammo (among other things). Anyone caught possessing a simple pocket knife could be thrown in the slammer. Anyone caught trading in “contraband” (silver coins) could be arrested at gunpoint and dragged away to be interrogated. This is what’s coming in Amerika if we’re not careful. Martial law is the ultimate condition of government power, and it can stay in place for years . This is what the government wants — to strip away any remaining rights and powers of the People and concentrate those powers in the hands of the corrupt, fascist state. Remember: Even in North Korea, government agents don’t reach down your pants at the airport! Amerika has become the most obscene police state North Americans could have imagined, and under the stench of Napolitano, it’s only going to get worse. A call for peace In order for “Occupy” to achieve its aims, it must remain non-violent . Descent into violence would be an utter failure, and it would give the government the excuse it needs to end all Occupy protests and turn Amerika into a runaway police state nation. That’s why Occupy protesters must resist violence at every turn. They must resist bloodshed and even be willing to be bloodied themselves without striking back. This is the essence of peaceful protest against tyrannical empires. The “success” of such protests would be the national publicizing of government agents beating innocent non-violent protesters who don’t fight back. The emotional power of such imagery would turn the entire nation against the government and would rally millions more to join the cause. But the opposite is also true: If protesters become violent and begin shooting at police or striking back at them, the totally corrupt and morally inept mainstream media will, of course, just focus on acts of violence by the protesters and use that to push a national crackdown agenda. Martial Law may be coming soon In 2008, I publicly predicted riots in the streets would appear in America as the corrupt financial system began to crumble. Even at that time, I urged people to avoid violence and to work toward peace, not violence. Today, we are seeing signs that this situation is escalating. I am concerned that we may soon see eruptions of violence across the nation , fomented in part by government agents themselves. This means all the rest of us should prepare for martial law , because it seems increasingly likely to be arriving soon. How do you prepare for martial law? For starters, you stock up on all the items that will be illegal to buy or sell under martial law. Get squared away with gold and silver, for example. It could suddenly become extremely difficult to acquire, which would also make its value skyrocket in the underground economy. Secondly, make copies of all your important documents and keep them in a safe place (that’s also fireproof). Under martial law, you will be required to “show your papers” at frequent checkpoints, just like under Nazi Germany. And if you lose your documents, it will be a total nightmare to try to get new ones issued if you don’t have copies. Thirdly, speak out about the injustices taking place in America today. Why are the banksters given trillion-dollar bailouts while the People are burdened with billions in student loan debt that they are unable to repay? Why does government money go to the wealthy elite instead of helping the people it’s supposed to serve? Or, better yet, why does the Federal Reserve run the U.S. money supply in the first place? Why is government running every little detail of our lives, and reaching down our pants at the airport, and telling us that we can’t grow gardens in our front yards? If there is any conclusion to come out of these “Occupy” protests, it’s that big government is dangerous government . The only real way to protect our interests and our freedoms is to slash the size and power of government and thereby return power to the People where it belongs. There is only one Presidential candidate who believes this, by the way, and his name is Ron Paul. The media conspiracy against Ron Paul is now so arrogant and obvious that in the last debate, they only gave Ron Paul 89 seconds to speak during the entire debate! (http://www.infowars.com/ron-paul-gets-89-seconds-to-speak-in-cbs-debate/) This, it turns out, was a deliberate CBS News policy to try to muzzle the only presidential candidate who makes any sense at all. This is why mainstream media morons are humorously called presstitutes or “news whores” by those who are informed. CBS News might as well be called KGB News at this point, since it functions as nothing more than a dictatorial extension of corrupt state power. The mainstream media, you see, doesn’t want people to tell the truth. That’s why they won’t dare mention NaturalNews, for that matter. NaturalNews is to the mainstream media what Ron Paul is to the presidential debates — we tell the truth and appeal to the informed, rational thinking of free people who wish to break free from the shackles of government lies and propaganda. “Occupy” protesters want much the same thing — an end to crony capitalism and secret government deals that favor powerful corporations. They want real freedom and justice for all people, not the slanted, state-run “freedom lite” that government thugs like Janet Napolitano try to sell us through telescreen broadcasts that urge everyone to spy on their neighbors. America is on the verge of being won back … or lost forever… depending on which way this all goes. But violence will only lead to more government tyranny. Only peace can bring us out of this police state nightmare and move us toward the non-violent revolution that will be necessary to restore liberty and justice in America. Keep the peace, folks. It is the only way out of this mess.
