Powerful video here. I just don’t understand why he didn’t want to talk to them nor drink the water…/snarky to the extreme
What price for food that is edible or water that does not contain heavy metals? What price for healthy bodies from unpolluted air, water, and soil?
What price for life?
The First Nations of Canada sent a letter to Stephen Harper and Christy Clark asking for investigation into the Mount Polley disaster and for mining reform.
I’m sure Stephen Harper will jump right on that…/snarky for sure
My blog on Mount Polley here.
…or selling our destiny…depending on your point of view. Naomi Klein was on DN! today, talking about climate change and our need to change the things we value in order to save the planet.
Perhaps it would be better stated to save ourselves…the planet will survive, i.e., after the humans and animals and plant life are dead from toxicity, the planet will re-emerge clean…like a phoenix rising up from the ashes.
Klein makes a point that the Green movement has been co-opted by the very targets they were fighting against. Sadly, she states that The Nature Conservancy has been drilling. Incredible! Back in the day, it was one of the organizations I donated to. That and Sierra Club, but when I found that Sierra was “partnering” with Clorox bleach…yeah, I stopped supporting them even before my life took its downturn.
She mentions the indigenous taking on the big corporations –asserting land rights. You might recall about a year ago, with the natives of Canada protesting fracking exploration on their lands–
My posts on the events:
October 20th. October 22nd. November 4. November 8. November 24. December 1. December 15.
Klein asserts that those who stand to lose the most from the change in what we value–solar over oil, coal, and nuclear energy–are fighting a dirty war with the help of politicians and others who are bought and paid for.
They don’t care what ill health effects are created by the toxic environment. It’s just mindboggling how they think that their pollution is not going to affect them–do they think they live in a bubble, immune from what happens around them?
An example–the pollen counts have been high here lately, so I haven’t been outside to jog. I went yesterday morning, and then had problems with deep coughing. I haven’t really had that deep coughing in awhile. There has to be a connection. Not only to the “normal” pollution, but from chemtrails, aka bioengineering–as I saw several trails in the sky to the East of me. They have been spraying them above the clouds so it’s harder to see them, but they’re there.
I saw these from twenty miles away, Sunday:
Just recently, Joe Donnelly, Dan Coats, and Jackie Walorski, Indiana politicians, have come out against EPA regulations. The local radio station is airing commercials (surely paid for by those in the industry) stating that the EPA is a threat. I kid you not.
Dan Coats here–from an “EPA abuse” website, most likely being supported by the coal industry; and here and here–this extension period was needed so they could flood the airwaves with the commercials I’m now hearing….
Notice the “job-killing” tactic–classic playbook. Why doesn’t Sen. Coats tout renewable energy jobs that would be created if we stopped supporting the dirty coal industry?
Jackie Walorski here: jackiewalorski.com/walorski-farm-bureau-take-aim-epa/
And here–a big thank you from the Farm Bureau. Pfft.
Note the scare tactics of “big government” and “regulating every faucet”….
Farmers need to realize their part in polluting the water. And they need to be given some incentive for going organic, and not using chemicals in food production. Where is the money for that?
Our water flows into the Ohio, which flows into the Mississippi, which flows into the Gulf. It has been noted that Indiana is one of the biggest polluters (17 million pounds of toxins into our waterways EVERY YEAR), and the coral and sea life are dying because of it.
All the while, mercury in Indiana waterways is ABOVE the standards set from the USGS website.
| Mercury contamination in water and fish throughout Indiana has routinely exceeded levels recommended to protect people and wildlife. About 1 in 8 fish samples tested statewide had mercury that exceeded the recommended safety limit for human consumption. The causes include mercury in the rain and mercury going down the drain, according to a recently released federal study.The most significant source of mercury to Indiana watersheds is fallout from the air. Much of the mercury in the air comes from human activity. In Indiana, coal-burning power plants emit more mercury to the air each year than any other human activity. In urban areas, wastewater discharge contributes a substantial portion of mercury to waterways. |
This has got to be the worst that I’ve seen yet of ALEC. When people get wise to what is happening, ALEC has devised a way to thwart their efforts to take back control through local governments and regulations–removing your right to self-governing and autonomy. Their arrogance is mindboggling.
After years of trying to thwart local government, last week ALEC launched a new offshoot aimed at infiltrating it. The American City County Exchange (ACCE), had its first meeting last week, coinciding with ALEC’s Dallas meeting. ACCE’s goals, structure, and funding mirror those of its parent organization. According to The Guardian, the agenda for ACCE’s initial meeting focused on privatization and fighting public sector unions. Or, translated into ACCE doublespeak, “Effective Tools for Promoting Limited Government” and “Releasing Local Governments from the Grip of Collective Bargaining.”

More here on workers fighting back. against low wages. And here on sick days.
PRWatch has this up on ALEC continuing its dirty campaigns against everything that is logical.
From the piece:
ALEC is even going after people who want to generate solar power for their homes. The boom in home solar energy generation—there has been a 60 percent increase in domestic solar installations in the past year—is a threat to ALEC’s dirty energy producing members, so they have a bill to amend so-called net metering laws that allow homeowners to sell excess electricity back to the grid. It is the ability to do this that makes solar an increasingly affordable possibility for homeowners. ALEC’s bill would charge homeowners additional fees, with ALEC environment task force director John Eick telling The Guardian that these users are “free riders on the system.”
~~~~~~~~
You know, it’s one thing to try to promote your heavy-metal containing pollution, but it’s a whole ‘nother thing to try to prevent people from taking a proactive stance against your dirty fuel. Unreal.
Solar energy has sooo many benefits–one of which is independence from the greedy energy producers whom have stripped our lands of trees, poisoned our water and soil, and then not paid for the land use nor taxes on top of that.
Sixty percent increase in solar energy use…just in the last year…this is a *huge* threat to them.
Mike Pence, doing ALEC’s bidding, along with the coal industry.
Not long ago, Indiana ranked in the top five for low cost of electricity. Now, thanks to an onslaught of regulations from Washington, Indiana ranks somewhere firmly in the middle of the pack.
~~~~~~~~~~
Reading between the lines, this is as much an admission of guilt for polluting our air, water, and soil with heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic) from coal. They were getting away with it until regulations prevented the free-for-all.
I keep thinking about that 17 million pounds of toxins put into our waterways every single year…and BP dumping mercury into Lake Michigan every single year, courtesy of Indiana Dept. of Environmental Mis-Management….and the lack of action when the toxic spill floated down the Ohio…
I had heard this report was out but hadn’t seen it until now–about our toxic waterways. Indiana, unfortunately, heads the list for toxic load. It’s worse than I first read about–the number now is 17 million pounds of toxins into our waterways. 43 million pounds released into the Ohio river, THE most toxic river. Good Grief.
And Joe Donnelly, Dan Coats, and Jackie Walorski, paid by their bosses (in the form of campaign $$, and God knows what else), are fighting for the industries’ right to poison us. Some of them are so bold to say they’re fighting for us and our families….seriously. 17 million pounds of toxins. Whom is irresponsible, Mr. Coats?
NY Times has a page up on fines and violations…and how nobody takes responsibility.
The Sierra Club’s take on the Indiana Dept. of Environmental Mis-Management, including a dog boiled alive by hot water discharge, and a coal industry lobbyist being appointed to…wait for it…the IDEM–for prosecuting the polluters. If this wasn’t so serious, I would be laughing my arse off.
So…you all might recall I blogged about the vulnerability of the Irish to heavy metal poisoning due to a genetic factor…
…my other sister dropped a bombshell last week at the funeral dinner–she had her daughter tested because of health issues…and….drum roll please….she has the double gene responsible for the inability to detox heavy metals.
I knew it….but I couldn’t convince my siblings that because we were Irish, we were more susceptible.
They had a hard time believing that my stupid amalgams had made me so ill. My sis was a dental hygienist in another life, so she was brainwashed into believing that stuff was perfectly safe. She was exposed to it eight hours a day, five days a week. I won’t go into her health issues, but there’s plenty to point towards mercury poisoning.
And yet, it’s still hard for her to wrap her brain around–because she just noticed the red spots on my arms–that have been there for over ten years–probably closer to fifteen years. She thinks that’s a sign of allergies. Yes and no. Allergies are worse with mercury poisoning and many on the support group have some sort of skin issue like mine.
I explained to my sister (she lives out of state, so I don’t get to see her that often), that my red spots got much worse when I worked at the state mental hospital that was located near a cement plant that burns hazardous waste. I found out a couple years ago that it was spewing mercury into the air. This just clicked for me that my red spots got worse when I worked there, and then started to disappear when I moved out of town after losing my house. The thing is–when I chelate, the red spots itch like crazy and become an angry red. And when they do go away, there is a pink scar left on my forearm.
I’ve passed another milestone that indicates I am progressing, however slowly–my long time readers might recall I mentioned warts on my thumb and middle finger. The warts on my thumb began to disappear a year or two into chelation. The middle finger, however, was still there. Until now.
It was getting itchy and red during chelation, but still remained until this week–where the body finally dealt with it and tada! I no longer have the wart. Incredible how the body is such a miracle. I knew that viruses cause warts, so I was waiting for the immune system to take care of it. Doctors, of course, want to just remove the warts without thinking about why the wart is there and if there is something gone wrong with the immune system…?
So…yeah…a little progress, but a giant leap as far as I’m concerned.
And knowing that I was right all along about the Irish genetics is just wonderful. Validated.
Now if they’ll only listen to me about Dr. Cutler’s protocol and start chelation before things get really bad…
…and following a grain free organic diet…but yeah, that’s probably not going to happen–lots of resistance, but I can hope, can’t I?
Have these people completely lost their minds?
One New York state study found radioactivity in fracking waste water at 267 times the level considered safe for human consumption. Other studies found several cancer-causing contaminants in fracking waste water. The report cites arsenic, lead, hexavalent chromium, barium, chloride, sodium, sulfates, boron, benzene and radioactive agents.
~~~~~~~~
You might remember hexavalent chromium…it was the stuff used by PG & E featured in the movie, Erin Brockovich.
It, as well as benzene, are known cancer causing agents. Arsenic and lead, of course, are heavy metals that cause neurological damage and in enough amounts–death.
It is just mindboggling that the fracking proponents look the other way at the damage caused by the fracking process. All that matters to them is getting the gas out of the ground, no matter the consequences. Well, it has a way of coming back on you…quality of life goes down…healthcare costs go up…and each generation suffers more DNA damage.
(Side note~Migraine is gone…weird. I felt like I was getting one Tuesday, and then it went away. Probably due to the new stress of job and getting away from all grains and chocolate….it’s going to be interesting to see how my body re-adjusts, if my migraines are any clue.)
I got the rare chance of watching Melissa Harris-Perry this morning. I don’t always agree with her conclusions, but do enjoy the stimulating program. She talked about the Santa Barbara shootings and the gender bias of the shooter, Elliott Rodger. She mentioned a video by him, but refused to play it, so I went looking for it on youtube:
Wow. Just Wow. Two minutes into this video, and you can see why women rejected this guy. Narcissistic. Self-absorbed. Playing the victim. Shallow. Entitled.
Over and over again, he claims rejection by women and doesn’t understand why. Over and over again he says “these beautiful blonde women” are out with “douchebags”….when they should be out with “wonderful” him. Women have great intuition (which they don’t always listen to) and probably could see this guy’s warped view of himself and the world and his negative energy towards them…as is now known by his murdering people.
MHP’s guest stated that this guy had a sense of entitlement. I can see that in the video. By his view, he was such a “terrific” guy, and was entitled to the beautiful women, but couldn’t get them….so he killed them.
There are so many things tied to Elliott Rodger’s view –one of which is the society’s rape/violence culture against women.
Rodger focuses on rejection by beautiful women. I would lay bets that there were women who liked Elliott…but they weren’t “beautiful” on the outside. He probably treated them badly…as he claims he was treated. It’s okay, you see, to treat women who are “ugly” by society’s standards in a disrespectful and dismissive tone. This makes me so angry I could spit nails right now.
They brought up that Elliott was autistic. Okay, you all know what I’m going to say next…he was a high functioning autistic, with apparent aggression and rage — both tied to mercury poisoning. Will anyone explore that possibility while investigating this case? Probably not. And another chance at recognizing mercury/heavy metal poisoning/toxicity’s influence in crime is ignored.
From the first link:
Studies involving a large sample of autistic and schizophrenic patients found that over 90 % of those tested had high levels of the milk protein beta-casomorphine-7 in their blood and urine and defective enzymatic processes for digesting milk protein(92,93,83), and similarly for the corresponding enzyme needed to digest wheat gluten(92,94)
Due to the large number of vaccinations that are now containing mercury thimerosal, most children have been documented to receive mercury exposure far above the government health guideline for mercury, and the number of causes of autism has increased over 600% in the last decade[81,A,43b].

[…]
A group of violent criminals had signif. higher levels of hair lead and cadmium levels than non violent controls(62b)
[…]
Studies at the Argonne National Laboratory found that the majority of delinquents and criminals had high metals levels such as cadmium and lead, and to fall into 2 categories. One group with high copper and low zinc, sodium potassium tended to have extreme tempers, while another group with low zinc and copper, but high sodium and potassium tended to be sociopathic(115). But it was found that treatment of delinquent or violent prone individuals for metals related problems including nutritional therapy usually produced significant improvements in mood, violent behavior, and functionality- with complete cure in the majority of cases (115,119,120).
~~~~~~~~
A note here about hair analysis–Dr. Cutler is of the belief that hair levels are helpful, but not 100% indicators of toxicity. Time and again, mercury poisoned folks have tested low mercury on hair tests — NOT because they are not poisoned, but rather, because their bodies are not secreting mercury. They lack the ability to efficiently rid the body of mercury. Once they began to chelate, and their poor bodies were able to function half-way decently, their hair tests have changed to high mercury levels.
It is almost a rule that on the mercury support group, that we are gluten and dairy intolerant–lack of enzymes since mercury interferes with it.
It will be interesting to see the developing story. God Bless the parents and loved ones who lost someone.
A member of the mercury support group posted this link to the Spring Caustic Commentary on the Weston Price Foundation website.
It’s pretty informative for those who are unfamiliar with Weston Price’s work. He was a dentist who traveled the world, observing the indigenous tribes. He discovered that they had perfect teeth–no dental decay. When they became industrialized, and ate a more Western diet, their dental health began to suffer. Price also observed the changes in mouth structure–before the Western diet, the parents had bright, wide smiles….but the generations afterward had more narrow smiles and misshapened teeth by overcrowding the mouth. And yet, Western doctors refuse to see the connection between diet and overall health and wellbeing.
