Depression: Look and Learn
The Cure for What's Coming
As I’ve written before, as goes Michigan, so goes America. America’s prosperity – even the world’s, was built on manufacturing, especially automobiles.
Oh, Michigan! Oh, Detroit!!!! Officially the unemployment rate is 21%. That DOESN’T COUNT the people who lost their jobs and never qualify for unemployment benefits, like sub-contractors and 1099 people. It also doesn’t count all the people who have fled the area because the economy is so bad.
As goes Michigan, so goes America. It was said before, and with horror we see it coming true before our very eyes.
Americans won’t give away their sovereignty unless we’re homeless and starving. There couldn’t possibly be a NAU or an NWO unless America was on its knees. Or, six feet under.
CellAdam Cancer Treatment Debate: Damian Thompson & Zenit
Nancy & Ronald Reagan
Now, here’s a REAL quandary. ANOTHER ‘push-me pull-you’ debate from two EXTREMELY RELIABLE sources, Zenit and Damian Thompson of Holy Smoke.
ANOTHER ‘push-me pull-you’ debate about stem cell research, embryonic stem cell research, the church and the church, and in the center of all of this, and the ones paying the price, are those poor souls struggling with cancer and other diseases.
Let’s begin talking about WILD claims, shall we?
The stem-cell industry has dragged every pity party who has had more than 15 minutes of fame into the presence of an adoring Congress & Senate in order to promote stem cell research, and MORE specifically, EMBRYONIC stem cell research, for the potential cure of everything from spinal injury paralysis, Alzheimer’s Disease, cancer, diabetes, baldness, Muscular Dystrophy, and on and on in the universe of potential miraculous cures, all the way down to freckles.
This is the magic CURE ALL according to the ‘industry.’
In fact, it is so believable that bankrupt states like Michigan and California have purposely gone out of their way to invest countless hundreds of millions, even BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars in the bio sciences, slavering at the thought that these technologies will create a very high ROI and turn those states back into powerhouses of economic booms.
In all this, from the far stretches of liberaldom and even conservativedom come vicious, livid, screeching accusations that the Vatican is opposed to all science, all medicine, all human progress for the reason that it condemns dismantling embryos cell by cell for research or medicinal purposes.
The Vatican is NOT opposed to stem cell research and never has been. It is opposed to the useless and unnecessary experimentation on, and destruction of, embryos for the purposes of stem cell research. The Vatican is totally in support of ‘adult stem cells’ – so named for obfuscation purposes clearly, but available in huge quantities in umbilical cord blood and in amniotic fluid, and proving very effective in a wide range of illnesses.
But with all this hoopla, all the blame-game and accusations, per business-as-usual there are almost no treatments available in the United States with the breakthroughs that have been made in other countries. Citizens attempting to obtain the same medicines, at prices lowered in other countries, faced immediate action by the FDA and the government, making such international purchases illegal. Medication and treatment prices are kept artificially so high that an entire new class of tourism has developed for Americans- medical tourism.
Not so wild claims:
In 2007, census figures revealed there were more than 45 million Americans without health insurance, many more who were underinsured.
That was BEFORE the massive job losses due to the collapsing economy that we have been experiencing the last two years.
We also know that the Congress, under pressure from big pharma, attempted to ban and/or restrict alternative nutritional supplements. Citizen outrage was so great that the bill never passed.
So in the face of a cancer treatment that is helpful AND effective, inexpensive, is ethical according to Christian standards, discussed in a highly respected Vatican journal and used in Catholic hospitals, Damian Thompson considers all this ‘counter knowledge?’
Damian says:
I should add that Pentin writes authoritatively for The Catholic Herald on Vatican affairs, where he knows what he is talking about. I am at a loss to explain the disappearance of his critical faculties on this occasion.
In my estimation, it is Damian Thompson’s critical faculties, and especially, his compassion that have disappeared on this occasion. Blocked by a softening Nanny State cushy health system that most Americans can only dream of, the man has become possessed by arrogance.
The loss is YOURS, Damian, yours and those who read your information like it is gospel.
Either stem cells are living up to those incredible claims or they are not. Just like other supplements, Americans can and do have a right to give them a try.
Having been one of those many souls who has lost loved ones with cancer, loved ones who lived, worked and died without health insurance, who paid the taxes that went into the wild claims of health research; I can only say that if there are any out there who have a chance that this alternative will work, that this alternative will even help, then in every possible way I support this effort. If anyone is interested in trying this ethical new treatment, I have created a page just for you to easily obtain the ‘nutritional supplements.’
God bless you and your difficult, and very sacred, journey with cancer.
Curioser & Curioser: Obama’s White House Blog!
Barak Obama
You can tell a LOT about a blogger by the information, categories and links on their blog. Obama’s White House Blog is very telling in that regard as well.
It is the Agenda itself that is supremely of interest, in these days of economic collapse, impending depression, widespread and growing unemployment, layoffs, business closings both small and large, incredible numbers of home foreclosures and homelessness…
Yes, the President has his hands full and it wasn’t his fault.
To be SURE we know what his priorities are, we must look at his agenda as he has it categorized on his blog. Here is the list:
# THE AGENDA
* Civil Rights
* Defense
* Disabilities
* Economy
* Education
* Energy & Environment
* Ethics
* Family
* Fiscal
* Foreign Policy
* Health Care
* Homeland Security
* Immigration
* Iraq
* Poverty
* Rural
* Seniors & Social Security
* Service
* Taxes
* Technology
* Urban Policy
* Veterans
* Women
* Additional Issues
Notice anything missing? Anything at all? Is there ANYTHING on this list that strikes you as, well, critically MISSING given the current free-fall of our economy?
What I noticed missing right away is BUSINESS. No Commerce, no Small Business, no Large Business, no Business Development…
Unless it comes under ‘additional issues.’
On the other hand, social issues are broken out very widely. There is ‘family,’ ’seniors,’ ‘women,’ ‘civil rights,’ ‘immigration,’ and ‘disability.’
Nothing under ‘housing,’ ‘banking,’ or ‘Federal Reserve.’ No ‘agriculture.’
Aside from that, want to add some political pics to Flickr? Here’s quite the group!
Almost instantaneously after the swearing in ceremony, the section on women, with its new and radical pro-abortion stance, was posted on this new blog. Change indeed.
While the administration seems to intend to include everyone under its mantle, the prominent absence of business related issues, agriculture, banking, and the profound commitment to abortion is guaranteed to bring on a firestorm of controversy almost overnight.
This will certainly be an interesting blog to watch, and to watch for actions and deeds related to this new administration. A platform like that can only be one thing- divisive.
Nuking America? War Mongering & False Flag Destruction
Now our illustrious and traitorous FBI is disclosing that Bin Laden has 20 suitcase nukes, smuggled from the former Soviet Union and into America through the open border between America and Mexico. They assert that THIS is the reason Ahmedinajad of Iran mocks us, saying that America will be bombed back into the stone age.
All this DESPITE THE FACT that BIN LADEN IS DEAD. Benazir Bhutto paid the ultimate price for revealing that information to David Frost of the BBC, in an interview that was- astonishingly- never shown on American television.
Closing the border at Mexico has LONG been demanded of our government, by Americans, and has been an inexcusably ignored issue by our President, our Congress, and the Senate. PURPOSELY ignored, it has become plain, especially when our Department of Homeland Security has been given BILLIONS of dollars to harrass, investigate, and monitor American citizens despite the Constitution.
Like 911 and the World Trade Centers; like Oklahoma City; like the very concerned people of Texas City Texas believe, like the Anthrax attacks; the truth of nukes in America will be that of another false flag operation, designed to crumble America’s and American’s power and grant global domination to… who? Israel? No, not Israel, but the Zionists within it.
With all the ‘intelligence’ our government has collected, with all the ‘intelligence’ that has been given priority of everything, including the rule of law, it is our government that is responsible for any nukes set off in America, directly responsible or indirectly.
Between McCain’s September Surprise of his coming exit from the Presidential race, the likely assassination of BO, and the return of a Hillary Clinton/ Mitt Romney presidential race, the truth is that we are UNLIKELY TO SEE A CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT.
Bush’s dearest wish, “As long as I’m the dictator,” is just about to be realized. There is NO WAY Bush/Cheney will permit themselves to be charged with murder or treason. There is NO WAY the global bankers are going to give up their power over the governments of the world. There is NO WAY the Neo-Cons and their puppet media want to put global nuclear war on the back burner where it belongs.
The only way is to have a catastrophe so great, so devastating, that even the hypnotized American people are willing to give up all their rights, submit to a monstrous dictatorship, and give in to anything the dictators order.
I hope your souls are in order, readers, to meet your maker. We are on the verge of a global destruction for the final realization of the ambitions of a few, and they’re willing to take down the planet and every person necessary, to accomplish their goals.
Congress Speeding Up the Economic Collapse
Congress’ continual spending of money that we don’t have is only speeding up the economic collapse predicted with certainty by the global banks and causing Bernanke to actually panic.
Blank check signing for the vastly overbloated and wasted military spending bill, but ONLY if they add tens of billions more for their pet projects. America’s NEEDS are being traded back and forth just to leverage spending for things most Americans are against, don’t need, and are proven wasteful.
Making matters worse, of course, they don’t even know what they actually want or need, meaning that the billions spent on the Department of Homeland Security is nearly ALL wasted, with almost nothing being accomplished, except for making sure the Constitution is being gutted more and more.
As long as THEY get what they want, what do they care if YOU have anything but misery?
Either further deflate the value of the dollar, or see if CHINA will pay more. I mean, why not give China rights to all of our property- we don’t need it, do we?
War Mongering Barak Obama? Nukes for AIPAC?
Antiwar people had high hopes for Barak Obama, and due to the over-influence of AIPAC on our policies, Obama crumpled like a McDonald’s wrapper and promised extreme measures of our American Government on AIPAC’s behalf.
AIPAC was Obama’s FIRST STOP after getting the nomination.
IT is a HUGE FLIP, based on his promises of ending war.
And his namesake, Barak, indicates Israel will WAIT on talks with its neighbors, until next year, after the elections, evidently when they REALLY have some muscle to bargain with.
He’s promising to go after Iran- something Israel could do itself if it so chose. Let’s be clear here- Iran has done NOTHING to us to justify a nuclear attack against them.
If we nuke Iran we have committed a horrifying crime against God, against humanity, against the planet.
He’s promising Israel ANOTHER 30 billion dollars for their defense- almost none of the investment we’ve made in them up to now has been spent. We spend, AND we do their defending. A double-whammy.
Now we are told our economy WILL COLLAPSE within three months and he’s promising Israel TENS OF BILLIONS MORE?
There it is. We build up their defense, bankrupting ourselves, and then spend at least that much more defending THEM. We create a GLOBAL WAR, all for Israel?
Once we’re bankrupt, they will STILL have all we gave them. They won’t be coming to OUR defense, you can be sure.
What do American interests have to do with AIPAC’s? Only this: they can buy and sell our politicians. By doing so they can threaten the free world, they can spend OUR money any way they like, they can tamper with our elections and they can make EVERY American interest answer to them.
Time for America to rid itself of the leach called AIPAC. Its bleeding us to death.
American interests and AIPAC interests have TOTALLY diverged. The case for their similarity is pathetically inadequate to justify ANY of this. Furthermore, WHY SHOULD ANY AMERICAN POLITICIAN be running to them? Shouldn’t AIPAC wait on our politicians like everyone else?
Its time for REAL STATESMEN who KNOW the truth about our country, what we’re really facing, what’s actually happening, and what will ACTUALLY work to help us. No more AIPAC puppets. There are altogether too many of those in our government now.
These aren’t kids games, here. These aren’t issues American Idol can solve. These are dangerous, TREACHEROUS, and REQUIRE COURAGE, INTELLIGENCE, AND EXPERIENCE.
Waffling and pussy-footing will take America DOWN. There are all too many people that would LOVE to see that.
Astounding Ron Paul Supporters!
We all knew it was going to come whether we liked it or not… the political dirty tricks and the mainstream media burial of Ron Paul made THAT all too clear. When the Montana delegates that Ron Paul won went to Romney INSTEAD, well the handwriting was on the wall.
The puppetmasters were gloating with mocking joy, filling chatrooms with taunters and idiots as the fake Ron Paul ’supporters’ they are, yet Ronulans have become accustomed to all that.
What the REAL Ron Paulites are is ASTOUNDING.
No, there is no hope. But not the way the parties think.
There is NO HOPE for this country. NO HOPE that our politicians will actually DO THEIR JOB, protect our rights, and get off of the neo-con platform that is destroying our economy and leading us into a nuclear war.
The country will soon fall because of all of this.
In the meantime, the Ron Paul people will still be fighting for this country.
Systematically, deliberately, with all the intellect and courage the internet people have going for them.
Just like the earthquake gives no clue before it strikes, so too, the American people who BELIEVE in the Constitution will be doing some serious ground shaking.
And just like the shoddy buildings in the disastrous earthquake zones, the traitorous parties won’t know what hit them until they are suddenly flat.
We’ve learned well. You’ve taught us well. Thanks loads.
We’re not going ANYWHERE. This is OUR COUNTRY. We want it back and, BY GOD, we’ll GET IT BACK.
The Ron Paul people ARE astounding. I’m proud to know them.
Dems BLOCK Impeachment: Interferes with their Agenda!
Nancy Pelosi and the democratic leadership blocked the impeachment proceedings against George W. Bush. Why? “It interferes with OUR AGENDA” (emphasis mine), more proof if anyone needed any, that there is no difference between the agendas of either party.
Since taking control of Congress, Democratic leaders, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in particular, have declined to support impeachment saying it would only be divisive and interfere with their agenda, a position reiterated Wednesday by a Pelosi spokesman.
Collusion is just as serious of a crime against America and Americans as direct treason, and unfortunately we have all too much of that.
The excuses, of course, are all the ones we expect: ‘It would divide the public’ ‘he’ll be gone in a few months’ ‘it interferes with our agenda.’
It is no longer a disgrace to be a vice president or president with the cloud of impeachment hanging over his head, a thing for which we can perhaps thank the Clintons.
Lawbreaking, violating oaths of office, subterfuge, disappearing dissenters, all of these are NOW in the common tool-box of our government and they wonder, “what are you citizens so angry about? Its business as usual!”
NOW, they say, “It would mean that Dick Cheney would be president!!!” Except for the fact that the articles of impeachment against that minion of the devil are already gathering dust in the Judiciary committee…
The fact is, that BOTH could be impeached and the disgrace also known as Nancy Pelosi would then become our FIRST woman president- but she doesn’t want THAT… what agenda could be so important that she would set aside something so in tune with HER throbbing ambitions?
Well, politicians our SERVANTS, we don’t like your AGENDA. We haven’t for years.
Ron Paulers, Libertarians, Conservatives, Constitutionalists- HERE IS YOUR REALITY CHECK!
The Country will NOT be returned to the people by accepted and known legal methods such as impeachment. Of course, we cannot even rely on the ‘Department of Justice’ or the ‘House Judiciary Committee’ to be interested in or return to us anything like real justice, because Justice has been sucked dry in this country, like a spider sucking the life out of its wound-up victim.
Our alternatives are disappearing one by one by one. We ALL need to give that some serious THOUGHT.
Two parties and ONE agenda. Who’s agenda?
Wealth Migration Means New World Energy Order
Solve the energy crisis Ron Paul’s way, or go with the ‘flow.’
Massive mis- and dis- information about energy, oil supplies, demand and a serious distortion in the market in favor of the few who profit mightily off the industry, now we discover that there are some very diabolical intentions behind this ‘crisis.’
Wealth migration from the developed West into the developing East is one of five reasons given to create a New World Energy Order.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global energy sector is evolving into a “new world energy order” whereby demand and supply equations are changing and new active players are emerging in the international arena.
Of course, no global dictatorship could ever truly take power unless and until it had total control of all energy supplies, including but not limited to oil.
Here is one major reason, perhaps the thing we have corporate America to thank most for…
A steady migration of power and wealth from energy-deficit to energy-surplus nations: The transfer of wealth alone is already mind-boggling. The oil-exporting countries collected an estimated US$970bil from the importing countries in 2006, and the take for 2007, when finally calculated, is expected to be far higher.
It is also probably the basis for the drumbeats of nuclear war against Iran and other Middle Eastern Nations- all of whom, holding vast quantities of oil, have standing between a global dictatorship and all the means of controlling the people of the world.
No amount of ass-kissing by a Saudi Prince or King can do a thing if the global bankers decide to nuke you if you don’t cooperate.
A growing risk of conflict: Throughout history, major shifts in power have normally been accompanied by violence – in some cases, protracted violent upheavals.
Yes, American taxpaying citizens, you are giving up your children, your liberties and your protections of Constitutional law, giving up your moral basis for diplomacy, giving up your jobs, your productivity, your homes, your financial security, all in order to let the bankers RUN THE SHOW.
Let’s just keep voting the bastards in, shall we?
Ron Paul People Watching the Suicide of the GOP
This video is WORSE THAN PATHETIC. It is a disgrace to Americans, America and the GOP.
McCain is so liberal that angry Clinton supporters have no problem voting for McCain instead of Obama.
This is great, as far as the GOP is concerned.
McCain’s positions are intolerable to true Republicans and conservatives, in spite of the hideously delivered false rhetoric of McCain’s speech. He would be happy to illegally spy on Americans, just as Bush does.
As we discussed here before, McCain broke his own laws, McCain/Feingold, and then got a reprieve from the president, instead of being slapped down as a lawbreaker.
That’s fine with the GOP too!
In fact, all this is so good with the GOP that even when Ron Paul took the delegates in MO, the GOP stole them from Ron Paul and gave them to Romney instead, who is no longer a viable candidate.
The political games the GOP is playing, EVEN IF IT MEANS ITS OWN DEMISE, tells me that there is SO MUCH MORE TO THIS STORY. Diebold, perhaps?
Well, voters aren’t taking this crap lying down. They have created a page for voters to tell the GOP their exact intentions- that McCain can’t win against Obama, and therefore, either support Ron Paul or see what will happen.
You can put your two cents into this also, and you should! Send it to every Ron Paul voter you know, and make sure we have a HUGE list of what the GOP will lose, if they don’t get with the true conservative agenda.
