Hold the Bacon!.. Please

Bacon es no bueno

Before you order that extra side of bacon or dine on a nice juicy pork chop, you might want to consider that the pig that your meal came from is a tainted and not as sanitary as you think.

In a recently published study conducted by Consumers Union, pork samples bought in six US cities found 69% of 198 samples were contaminated with a bacteria (Yersinia enterocolitica) which can cause fever, diarrhea and abdominal pain.  In another test conducted 20% of 240 samples contained low levels of ractopamine which is used to promote growth in pigs in the US (its banned within the European Union, China and Taiwan).

Why is this important? Because its possible (mind you possible) that the increase in resistance within humans to antibiotics can be linked to the overuse of antibiotics in various livestock.  For several decades many mass producers of pigs, chickens and other farm animals have utilized antibiotics as a way to not only protect their animals from disease but to also promote growth and increase their eating capacity (how much they eat compared to weight gain).

The National Pork Producers Council disputed the Consumers Union report saying that low sample numbers were not comprehensive enough to produce any conclusions as well as believing that Consumers Union’s outspoken views on antibiotic use in livestock clouded their views.

If the Consumers Union report is biased as the National Pork Producers Council claims then what about a report in the January 2012 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences conducted by Michigan State University and the United States Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service that antibiotics in pig feed increased the number of antibiotics resistant genes in gastrointestinal  microbes in pigs.

In a nutshell this causes concerns for the livestock and humans because what happens when we become completely immune to antibiotics that are supposed to cure us? Can our scientists produce “super-antibiotics” soon or fast enough? Is it more important to have big fat pigs for people to eat or people being able to live and be cured when they get sick?

Was Hurricane Sandy Man Made?

 

“Atmospheric Scientists in aircraft take information from hurricanes for DHS Operation H.A.M.P. (HURRICANE AEROSOL AND MICROPHYSICS PROGRAM). DHS funds it. One of the functions of those planes is deploying aerosols. In 2010 the American Meteorological Society (AMS) presented discussion on how these aerosols were effective at decreasing and increasing the intensity of Hurricane KATRINA under DHS Operation H.A.M.P.” published on Oct 27, 2012 by revmichellehopkins

This will be a very brief post with hopes that you readers will chime in and post your thoughts (as you usually do). As a native New Yorker, I can say that I witnessed and survived both Godzilla-like hurricanes Irene and Sandy (not to mention an earthquake at the end of the summer of 2011). But with all of the recent back to back catastrophic natural disasters like hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and countries like Indonesia, Haiti, Chile, India, and Japan to name a few, the name HAARP seems to be on the tips of everybody’s tongue except mainstream News reporters. Why is that?

Conspiracy theories run wild these days but I am a firm believer in the old cliche that “wherever there is smoke there is fire”. So please watch the clip and feel free to share your thoughts, links, research or stories with anything regarding HAARP technology and how its being manipulated for population control OR feel free to play devils advocate and debunk the conspiracy theory. Thank you.

Occupy Why?

What motivates the Occupiers? Nothing and everything. They don’t know, you don’t know and I don’t know. But for a movement without an easily articulated message they have staying power, and just like an old geezer with a young hottie, It ain’t natural. There is magic in a bottle.

These kids get their boost from old pros with deep pockets. The face of the crowd is rarely a face in the crowd. The infantry shares little in common with its commander. Each equally important, each with separate orders, unaware of the roles they play in the big picture. And who is in control? I wonder…

Emails have proven communication and consultation between the street team and unrepentant 60’s radical underground weatherman Bill Ayers and left wing hatchet-man and Rolling Stone contributor writer Matt Tiebi. Move on.org and The Tides foundation are progressive groups’ charges with shaping public perception and forwarding a liberal agenda by any means possible. These organizations also shield donators and benefactors from direct contact in order to give a ‘hand-off’ appearance. They have also been directly linked through email to the occupy movement, they planned or organized many of the extra marches and demonstration targets with in NYC and other hot spots.

The list doesn’t end there; People like Shannon Rolle from Occupy Ontario and Organize Now, a spinoff of Acorn, can clearly be seen as a plant and paid agitator. Ads have been posted on Craig’s List offering $450-600 a week to hit the streets. These have been posted by Ad-busters and the Working Family Party

The unions have co-opted the protests as representative of the down trodden proletariat. With the SEIU flash filling locations and Jimmy Hoffa speaking to them with inciteful rhetoric.

The press has given millions of eyeballs to the relatively small number of public dissenters. The ratio is akin to that of a bank standoff, a hostage crisis or pretty blond girl in a well.

The main motivation is the inequities in the American wealth. This is the basis for the 99%/1% analogy. More curious is that people believe wealth should be equal and that government has the power and right to alter this. The fact the majority of the wealth in few hands is now new. The outrage over it is.

The huge mental disconnect between these protesters and logic becomes evident when you think they would wonder how they are being sustained. They are backed by those wealthy they despise. The bailing out of Wall street’ act, the center of their discontent, was hatched and implemented by the administration they champion!?!’

 

Money for food and shelter is coming in too. This has attracted street people. The mostly upscale kids toys, I phones and Macbooks have attracted street criminals. Their suburban naiveté has attracted the sexual predators

It serves everyone that the movement has no cohesive message or voice. Then anyone can put words in their mouth

 

 

The kids in the street will say they are there to fight corporate greed. Their indignation has no claim unless they are shareholders. They have more cause to protest Washington for wasting their money, either outright or by bailing out the investment houses deemed too big to fail. As citizens we can claim that the government works for us and must act morally or ethically but we cannot make demands of Bank board of directors

The white house likes the people in the streets because it supports their current rhetoric of a dissatisfied America as a mandate to radically change and control these ‘criminals’. Which ultimately is their goal- to stay in office and wield more power. All this time the ’villains’ in the financial distract are their supporters who have communication, access and economic relief.

The protesters are pawns who have been lied to. “You’ll make a difference, things will change and you will benefit”. We can’t ignore the fact that many just want to get high and hook up with a hippie chick, those who want free food and easy targets for theft or those who just love the conflict and ‘Burn, baby, burn’ confrontation.

All they are doing is providing content to support the administration taking even more drastic socialist policies. It supports the union platform as well. And the liberal media love it too. I think they made a point but have overstayed they welcome. Most of America is saying “My life sucks too but I have to keep paddling or my little boat will sink”

And you know, if things were better, all these people would be too busy working, earning money and spending it to care about those who are better off.

A New Round of ℞ Trouble

So you can finally afford to go to the doctor but now as luck, fate, karma what have you would have it, you are in need of a prescription drug to cure what ails you; but there is currently a shortage of the drug you need and many others.

In response to this very troublesome issue, in the beginning of November President Barack Obama signed an executive order that instructs the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to take needed actions to help reduce the shortages. This order expands the FDA’s authority to keep pressure on the drug manufacturing companies to keep them aware of any shortages that may occur in the future as well as continuing to monitor the current situation.

So far in 2011 over 200 prescription drugs have been reported to have shortages and the most common shortages are occurring in cancer drugs, anesthetics (used for patients having surgery) and electrolytes for IV feeding use. You may be wondering how drug shortages can happen in this day and age, well one explanation is that some manufacturing companies stopped producing the older drugs to make new versions which amazingly enough are also more expensive.

In addition to the fact that patients can’t get the prescribed drugs they may need, the government has to make sure that the manufacturing companies don’t raise the prices on the drugs (that there are shortages of), so the manufacturing companies essentially caused this problem and now have to be closely watched so they don’t get even more rich off of people, what a system.

This shortage is so bad that the FDA has a list of the drug shortages on their website, think about that for a second…there has to be a list because there are so many. The health care industry in the United States just can’t seem to get things right…one step forward equals ten steps background. People who can afford health care can’t get the drugs they need and of course there are the people who can’t afford health care at all.

Big Brother is Watching YOU

Big Brother is Watching YOU

As you casually walk down the street do you have that eerie feeling that someone is watching you, that eyes are piercing into the back of your head…well there are eyes on you and just how many sets of eyes may frighten you. The eyes belong to all those people who are watching the video feedback that is streaming each second of each minute of each hour of each day of each week of each month of each year.

Walk around in the United States and chances are that if you look up on a building you will see a camera mounted on multiple walls. These ‘security cameras’ make us feel safe and protect the businesses and the people around but is that really the case. How right was George Orwell when he published 1984 and made ‘big brother’ a household word. Our lives are being streamed onto TV’s somewhere and we have no control of it, we, the citizens of the United States of America are all basically reality television stars without ever auditioning. Are you frightened by this concept?

And let’s not be fooled by the purpose of these cameras, they are not for our protection they are to feed someone’s God complex, whether it is the government or businesses. Are you also being watched at work, are you monitored, is your internet time being logged, are the keys that you hit on your keyboard being logged to see what you are typing and where it leads to, do you have cameras inside your building, do you even know if you have cameras inside your building. Is your company so concerned about your productivity or do the powers that be, just need to feel like they know and see everything. Are you frightened yet?

Of course the use of surveillance has been around for some time, but what really sparked interest in the use of cameras were the events that occurred on September 11. Following 9/11, security measures were at a premium and not just by the United States government. The use of surveillance among small business owners and international conglomerates rose beyond anyone’s imagination. The estimated number of surveillance cameras has grown to about 30 million units nationwide and is currently over a 3 billion dollar a year industry.

The use of cameras is great if is used solely for the purposes of tracking foreign nationals posing a threat to the safety of thousands of US citizens, I guess, but what happens when the feedback from the cameras are used by police investigators without probable cause or even by marketing agencies who are paying for your information and to track your movements and interests. At what cost are we being kept safe and from whom are we safe from?

What about your home, do you feel completely comfortable and free from preying eyes in the sanctity of your own home? Do you? We are losing our right to freedom, a basic right to live and be free, free from those watching us who have no right to even care what we are doing let alone keep a constant watch on us and besides who is keeping an eye on those who are watching.

The Mystery of Plum Island

montauk_plum_island_monster

The Plum Island Animal Disease Center is a federal research facility located two miles off the coast of Long Island in New York. It claims to be dedicated to the research of animal diseases; however, at one point it has been home to Swine Flu, Rift Valley Fever, Anthrax, Mad Cow Disease, Lyme Disease, Foot-and Mouth Disease, and West Nile Virus. The land on which Plum Island sits was originally purchased during the Spanish American War for the construction of Fort Terry.

In 1954, Mexico and Canada began experiencing mass outbreaks of Foot-and-Mouth Disease in cattle. In response to the outbreak, the Army simply gave Plum Island to the Agriculture Department for the express purpose of establishing a research site to study Foot-and-Mouth Disease. Oddly enough, this was the exact time that the Plum Island facility requested a $75 million dollar upgrade to make “the facility to a bio-level 4 status” for the express purpose of biowarfare research.

From its beginning, the Plum Island Animal Disease Center was shrouded in secrecy. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly who commissioned the work or who was running the show. However, it has been proven that in the 1950’s, President Truman okayed the US Government’s recruitment of high-ranking Nazi scientists to head up the project on Plum Island. These men of the Third Reich were offered a swift ticket out of Germany and then ushered into the US. One such Nazi was a man named Erich Traub whose specialty in Hitler’s army was germ warfare, specifically research using the common tick as a weapon to transfer deadly diseases.

At the beginning of the Cold War, the US and the Soviet Union were both looking for ways to destroy each other. They were looking for new ideas and it was time to play dirty. In November 1957, U.S. military intelligence explored the possibility of eliminating of the food supply of the Soviet Union by destroying all their farm animals. Enter Erich Traub. The US military believed Traub’s work with germ warfare could provide them with the ultimate weapon. The theory was simple; the ticks could be used to transmit deadly disease to the USSR in a very effective and undetected manner. Traub would simply inject the ticks with the lethal pathogen of choice, attach large numbers of infected ticks to birds or other animals, and then Viola! An instant Russian pandemic could be delivered right to the front door of the Kremlin. The Joint Chiefs of Staff liked the idea so much that they authorized this project along with other germ warfare research in 1952.

Fast forward to1975. A mystery illness broke out just a short distance away from Plum Island in the town of Old Lyme, CT. It was a sickness that the medical community had never seen before. This mystery illness was given a name…Lyme Disease. Once cases began popping up all over the Northeast, some serious medical research was done in an effort to find out what caused Lyme Disease. Officials quickly determined that Lyme Disease could only be caused by one thing: deer ticks. Sound a little too coincidental?

A former Nazi scientist gets his one way ticket to the US in the 1950’s, he’s put in charge of a multi-million dollar biowarfare research facility, is asked by our own government to create the ultimate biological weapon using ticks to deliver and spread disease, and then a mass illness caused by ticks breaks out in a rural Connecticut town that’s just miles away from Plum Island. In the 1980’s, even more questions came to light when researchers discovered traces of borrelia (the infectious and deadly bacteria of Lyme Disease) in preserved insect and animal samples found on neighboring Shelter Island and Long Island. The samples dated back to the precise time that Erich Traub was infecting ticks at the Plum Island lab. This was proof that the ticks infected in the island’s lab had not been contained to the island. Sensing the tension, the government did what they always do when they’re trying to cover their tracks…deny, deny, deny.

In the coming years, several people began to speak out about the disturbing tests that were being conducted on Plum Island. James McKoy was employed as a maintenance worker on the island repeatedly complained about the poor security of the labs. He claimed that in December of 2002 the island suffered from a power outage in the labs. The emergency generators failed to kick in and, according to McKoy, workers spent hours attempting to seal the doors of the lab with duct tape. You read that right. Duct Tape. Nothing stops life-threatening germs like duct tape. McKoy was fired after speaking out to the public.

In 2008 and 2009, things got worse for the island’s reputation as creatures began to wash ashore at Mantauk in Long Island. The carcasses were leathery, had stick-like clawed fingers, hair in patches, elongated misshapen heads, and stunk like crazy. Officials of Plum Island quickly denied the bodies came from their labs. However, the creatures were scooped up by unknown agents, never to be seen again. But wait, it gets better. Police were called out to the island in 2010 because maintenance workers dialed 911 after finding a mutated body on the shore.

You read that right, too. A mutated body! According to police reports, the body had very elongated fingers, webbed digits in some areas, and five holes had been drilled into the skull. Suffolk County Police reported the body to be a white male, but changed their report the very next day to say the body was that of a black male. Shouldn’t be a hard task to determine if a body is of Caucasian or African descent, right? Again, the Men in Black scooped up this mystery body and no one has laid eyes on it since.

Officials continue to deny that Plum Island poses danger to Americans, be it from germ warfare or mutant experiments. However, if there is no risk to the American public, how did Lyme Disease mysteriously infect citizens in a tiny town that happened to be down-wind from Plum Island? If there are quantities of lethal germs being stored within the labs of Plum Island, exactly what do they plan to do with them and why? Do they plan to use them on unsuspecting American citizens?

What kind of genetic science projects have they been involved in? Animal diseases do not produce a mutating effect on human bodies, nor do they create massive genetic changes in animals. What’s even more frightening than all of the information that we do know about Plum Island…is the information that we don’t know.

GLOBAL KARMA

Karma

The Sanskrit word “karma” means, literally, “law of cause and effect”. So what do I mean when I say “Global Karma”? If we apply the literal Sanskrit meaning of cause and effect, the answer is simple. Whatever we do to our planet will have definite consequences and effects. What we need to determine is whether our global actions will have positive or negative effects. So let’s review.

First I’d like to look at our current population growth. Wikipedia states: The world population is the total number of living humans on the planet Earth, currently estimated to be 6.97 billion by the United States Census Bureau as of July 1, 2011. The world population has experienced continuous growth since the end of the Bubonic Plague, Great Famine and Hundred Years Wars in 1350, when it was about 300 million. Current projections show a continued increase, with the population to reach between 7.5 and 10.5 billion by the year 2050.

If you pay any attention at all to current economics you will know without a doubt that we are already having difficulty sustaining our current global population. How is it possible to sustain a continued increase in population? Simple, it isn’t. We are already gearing up for a shortage of oil, food and water worldwide with power countries stockpiling these supplies. In addition to that, we live in a closed ecological system, by which I mean there are only so many resources that our planet is capable of producing. Once those resources are gone, where will we find new resources?

Next let’s look at the ecological damage we are doing to our planet. We have oil spills, desalination of the oceans due to the polar caps melting, terraforming of natural environments to make them more suitable to our desired living conditions, the introduction of new plant breeds which kill off the natural flora and fauna and yet don’t reproduce on their own, the dumping of nuclear waste into the oceans, drilling, mining and tunneling all over the planet, the list goes on and on.

Are we as humans so vain as to think that we can continue on this path of destruction without the planet fighting back?

If you look around, you will see that global karma is already in effect. Today we see global warming – with the current trends in place, global warming will produce extreme weather conditions and heat waves which will eventually lead to species extinction. Species extinction means the resources we rely on for survival would no longer exist, therefore our species – the human species will be one of those to go extinct.

In addition to global warming, we see a trend of increasing volcanic eruptions and earthquakes worldwide. We feel these effects more now than in the past due to our greater population levels. Once unpopulated areas are now teeming with people. When earthquakes and volcanoes hit these areas, the effects are even greater due to the enormous loss of life, disease and famine caused by the destruction of our infrastructure. The recent earthquake in Japan which resulted in the failure of the nuclear processing plant is a prime example of this occurrence.

So what can we do to reverse the global karma in effect now, or is it already too late? We enlightened citizens need to stand up, do our individual part to be kind to our planet. If enough people were to do this, I believe we can at least slow down, if not reverse the effects our mistreatment of the planet.

The Philly Experiment of 1943

"Philly Experiment photo 1"

One autumn morning at 9am on July 22, 1943, a top secret experiment was carried out at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The US Navy destroyer escort USS Eldridge was involved in the legendary Project Rainbow which was the brainchild of none other than Albert Einstein. The goal? Render a ship and all those aboard invisible.

During World War 2, scientists on both sides of the conflict were in search of a wonder weapon, capable of tipping the scales in their side’s favor. The most famous of these weapons is of course the Atomic Bomb. But in addition, according to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, time travel and interstellar space travel are in fact possible and some believe that Einstein was pioneering space-time compression technology for the US government.

The US navy originally set out to design a ship that couldn’t be detected by magnetic mines or radar. They outfitted a small warship with the most advanced electronics of the day and switched on the power. It is currently unknown if the original intent was to achieve radar invisibility or if they sought complete optical invisibility. Whatever they were after, it is generally accepted among most believers that the device involved generated an unbelievably powerful electromagnetic field around the destroyer, which created a mysterious green haze in full view of several merchant marine and observation ships.

The electromagnetic field would have caused light and radar waves to bend around the ship, a process called refraction. According to the stories, the experiment was a complete success, defying expectations and leaping American technology generations ahead of its enemies. The power was turned off and the ship reappeared in the same green haze from before. Officers boarded the ship and it quickly became obvious that something wasn’t quite right. Crew members were disoriented and nauseous and sent away for medical evaluations.

The Navy soon found another crew for a new round of experimentation. The scientists and navy brass decided that they only required radar invisibility and changed the Eldridge’s equipment. On October 28, 1943, the final test was performed. The generators were turned on and the Eldridge achieved partial invisibility. Eye witness accounts assert that a faint outline of the ship’s hull in the water was visible and that everything was fine in the first moments of the test. Then, in a blinding flash of light, the ship vanished and reappeared over 200 miles away in Norfolk, Virginia and was witnessed for several minutes before disappearing in another flash of light and reappearing back in Philadelphia. What was originally an attempt to hide the vessel from conventional technology had attained suspected de-materialization and teleportation.

There are some differing accounts as to the outcome of the experiment on the crew. The crew was violently sick and allegedly, some sailors were frozen stiff, unable to move an inch for months. There are other horror stories of men physically fused into the hull of the ship, dying agonizing deaths, or some that were never seen again, apparently de-atomized during the teleportation or forever adrift in alternate dimensions. The men who survived suffered numerous mental disabilities and were discharged as “unfit for service”.

There is little concrete evidence available for this theory, mostly first-hand accounts and vague descriptions from scientists who claimed to be involved. There is even some debate as to whether or not electromagnetism was involved at all. Some say thermal energy while some even claim it was sonic and ultrasonic sounds waves. Whatever the case may be, one must wonder what kinds of technology, fascinating and dangerous, the US government has hidden away.

Are Alien sightings us in the future?

Alien photo circa 1967

Are alien sightings us in the future?  Before you write the question off as ridiculous lets first understand evolution.  Evolution is a change in the gene pool of a population from generation to generation by such processes as mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift. Evolution tells us that birds are the direct decedents of dinosaurs.

Fathers of evolution such as Thomas Henry Huxley and Dr. JH Ostrom studied the bones of the Archaeopteryx dinosaur and found them to be too similar to that of the avians (birds) and after years of worldwide scientific studies have concluded that birds come from dinosaurs and furthermore, birds are also reptiles.

Notice how much smaller birds are than dinosaurs but the skeletons of the two are almost identical to the point where there is no mistaken the two are related.  Now let’s study what is popular about the common appearance of aliens also referred to as greys and how the description lines up with our evolution.

1) We have 5 fingers but the pinky finger, according to evolutionist, will eventually dissolve as we use it less and less due to technology where we rely on machines rather than manual labor : The greys have only 4 fingers.

2) Scientist say that as we evolve we will have far less body hair : The greys have zero body hair.

3) As our technology grows we use far less verbal communication, rely on emails and texting and do very little physical labor : the greys communicate telepathically and move objects via telekinesis instead of using their limbs.

4) Scientists for years have been trying to master time travel : almost every significant UFO sighting has taken place during a major world event like World War II, earthquakes, volcano eruptions etc.  I guess if in the future we will travel back in time to witness these events up-close.

5) Because of we spend so many hours in front of computer screens, television screens, and cell phone screens, our vision has deteriorated in alarming numbers in just a few years : According to Roswell blue book documents, the greys wear huge black contact lenses to see because their vision is so poor.

6) The Stealth Bomber is an American pyramid shaped, heavy bomber with low observable stealth technology designed to penetrate dense anti-aircraft defenses and deploy both conventional and nuclear weapons. The plane is known to fly and maneuver at unbelievable speeds and barely makes any sounds : Most documented UFO’s are either disc or pyramid shaped and move at alarming speeds without making any sounds or noises.

7) Scientists say that men are currently evolving biologically (fact).  The Y chromosome is shedding. Some speculate that the more women become financially self sufficient and buy into misguided feminism like getting pregnant, being emotional, or having periods are things that are oppressive, embarrassing and evil then the more the male need to procreate will change to satisfy this natural urge.

The outcome some scientists have concluded is that the human female will eventually die off and males will become something that is neither male or female : The greys have no genitals, no body hair, and are known to abduct women to steal their eggs to help them procreate.

Keep in mind, it is a fact that the Y chromosome that is only carried by men is mutating and men are growing less and less body hair.  Men are also becoming less masculine with softer voices. Think of men of Hollywoods golden years like Marlon Brando, Steve Mcqueen, and John Wayne as compared to today’s men like Justin Bieber, Zack Efron, and Tom Cruise.  Big difference.

Religion and Government have Failed Us

Illuminati's All Seeing Eye

Not everyone who reads this will understand it. But if you do than you are of the small group intended for this information to reach. With 2012 right around the corner, all of the signs are around us that something very scary and final is near. Take your blinders off and see that your government and religion won’t protect you because the government is only concerned with saving the wealthy and the rich and religion has been watered down and used as a manipulation tool to pacify you and keep you ignorant and weak.

But you who are the poor and/or working class are destined to die due to HAARP technology induced hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and snow storms that will only get worse. The world governments are becoming one government; the NWO (New World Order) which intends to annihilate the masses in order to retain the few resources that are dwindling due to over population and the Earth’s the natural defenses to human abuse.

But you can be of the few to survive. Just as the wealthy are building underground shelters and safe houses, so are a few wise people around the world who are building safe houses across the planet in areas so that you too can survive these man made natural disasters. Don’t get left behind. If you’re tired of being afraid, lonely, broken, ashamed, guilty, lost, and worried come to a place that you will truly call a home and a family.
