More on Thatcher

by

After reading this, I wanted to come back and comment on the fact that she had dementia.  Reagan did, too.

Does anyone else wonder at this?  What about heavy metal poisoning for the cause?  Could the meanness of the world be caused by toxicity?  We know it’s a known fact of mercury poisoning that anger and rage come with it.  The Mayo Clinic’s site on dementia–note that heavy metal poisoning is way down on the list.  It mentions low thyroid, which is good, but depressingly doesn’t mention diet. 

More here from someone who recovered from dementia after adopting a gluten-free diet.

Finally, here’s a report on the connection between criminal behavior and high levels of heavy metals. So much grief caused by toxins…and yet, it’s ignored by the medical profession, the corrections system, the public, etc….

Protests at her funeral here.

On the Mirror site, someone commented that they should put her in a black bag and put her out with the rest of the trash.  Okay, that’s a little harsh.  But spending  10 million is too, too much, especially for someone who promoted austerity.

Funny how people who advocate austerity measures never include themselves as recipients.

Bush isn’t sorry

by

common dreams has this up on an unapologetic George W. Bush .  The cartoon says it in ways that words could never come close.

From Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary:

so·cio·path Listen to audio/ˈsoʊsijəˌpæθ/ noun

plural so·cio·paths

[count] : someone who behaves in a dangerous or violent way towards other people and does not feel guilty about such behavior
— so·cio·path·ic Listen to audio /ˌsoʊsijəˈpæθɪk/ adjective
▪ a sociopathic personality ▪ sociopathic behavior ▪ He is sociopathic.

Oil company profits and/or new business from the Iraq War.  This was one of my arguments for my friend who was in the military–that the war was being fought for oil.  She was adamant that we would not be lied to about weapons of mass destruction.
From the article:
At the same time, representatives from ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips and Halliburton, among others, met with Cheney’s staff in January 2003 to discuss plans for Iraq’s postwar industry. For the next decade, former and current executives of western oil companies acted first as administrators of Iraq’s oil ministry and then as “advisers” to the Iraqi government.

Note further down the word privatization.  Sound familiar??

I tried to search for Afghanistan profiteering, but coming up empty.  I’ll wager that it’s the same, since there is an oil pipeline there.

I found this on the companies that profit the most from war.

Feeding the dark side.

 

 

Dealing

by

I’m trying to get away from Boston for my own health, but I can’t stay away.  I went home yesterday and could not stop crying.   With my Mom’s passing and all, I really think I am on the brink of PTSD.   I wonder how everyone else is doing?  Have we all reached that point?

All I can say is bravo! to those who went in after the blast when everyone else was running away.  I bow to you.

And to Bill, the 78-year-old whom the video showed collapsing after the blast….who got back up and finished the race….bravo! to you, as well.  And extra Bravo! for even running a freaking marathon while 78-years-old!!  Our aussie friends said it best, when they reportedly said, “Bastards can’t keep Bill down!” A report here from down under.

 

 

The latest on Boston

by

A report here from the Boston Globe.  I heard a report of a 5-year-old child sitting with eyes opened, dazed, with his parent lying next to him with a limb blown off.  Good God.

After I left here yesterday, I went to our community room and watched the news coverage of it.  CBS had cameras already there because of the race, so they had footage of the bombs going off.  Mayhem.

It’s just hard to wrap one’s brain around this.  I woke up crying about my Mom this morning. And yesterday.  There’s been another death in the family–an uncle–and I don’t know if it’s just me or if anyone else is just feeling overwhelmed with Newtown and now this. I’m borderline post traumatic, I think.  Too much.

 

 

Genetics and corporations

by

Well, if we had any doubt at all, it is true that corporations actually think they own us.  Literally.

What seems like a no-brainer–that you can’t own something you didn’t personally create, as in human beings–somehow becomes less clear once money is involved.

So, because someone wants to make a buck, the human body is patentable?

If that is so….and corporations own my body….who can I sue for being heavy metal poisoned??
