Bigger questions…

by

I was just stunned last night when the news reported that Nancy Lanza was taking her troubled son to shooting ranges and teaching him how to shoot a gun.  What on Earth was she thinking?! Some links here and here.

It’s just beyond comprehension how she is portrayed as being so fearful of her son, and then teaching him not only to shoot, but to have guns in the home–it makes absolutely no sense.

One of the stories says she was “responsible” and this meant she would keep the guns locked up.  But if she’s out showing off the guns to her landscaper, and anyone that comes to the home, then I have my doubts on whether the guns are kept locked up.  She was obsessed with them.

Story after story states that she was this great mother and doted on her son and was advocating for him…but it just doesn’t go with the other details coming out–keeping in mind that the Connecticut State Police stated they had “good evidence” they recovered at the home.

I’m wondering about Nancy’s mental state, as well.

Adam Lanza was reported to have Asperger’s, which is a form of autism.  He was painfully shy.  He was intelligent, but could not connect with people and with him burning himself, he was crying out for someone to help him.

All of the above symptoms can be connected to mercury/heavy metal poisoning, which some believe (me being one of them) is linked to autism.

A good general article here on the symptoms.

An article here linking heavy metals with autism, ADD, Asperger’s, etc. (I don’t recommend the products or cleanses this site is pushing).

A quote from the above:

The relationship of the heavy metals and children with autistic symptoms is being researched from every angle thought of. One team of investigators reported damage to the intestinal mucosal layer , in the form of increased permeability, in over 40% of autistic children tested. This gastrointestinal dysfunction would allow greater amount of toxins to penetrate the gut barrier into systemic circulation, and thus increase the toxin burden in children unable to properly process this onslaught of toxin agents.

This is known among those of us with “leaky gut”–the question is which comes first–the heavy metal poisoning that damages the gut, or the damaged gut (from undigested gluten) allowing more heavy metals to poison us?

Rage is one thing that is linked to heavy metal poisoning, so it is not unreasonable to think that Adam could have been toxic.  What I want to know is this:  Did his mother have amalgams? Did Adam?  Was there any known exposure to heavy metals (a redundant question on my part, because it’s not IF you’ve been exposed, it’s when and how much)?

Robert Kennedy speaks about the increase in autism with increased vaccination here.

(A side note here: Santa just arrived here in the Library. There’s a group of little ones here for story hour–squealing with delight.  Nice.  Trying hard not to get emotional with the mixed feelings….)

A good article here on toxins in Stratford, Connecticut.  Another here on toxins in the fish in CN rivers. And since the damage to DNA happens slowly, from generation to generation, it’s quite possible that Nancy was mildly toxic, and Adam was more so…

A side story here on a nuclear reactor in Connecticut also being shut down because the water in Long Island sound was too hot to cool it.  If you recall, this also happened here in the midwest. (Nuclear radiation damages the thyroid, among other things, which can also lead to mental issues.)

Government reported toxic releases in Connecticut.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t mention mercury releases, but this does.

Finally, this from HuffPost on heavy metal poisoning.

The questions to what happened in Connecticut will continue, and hopefully, this time, we will get the right answers.  It’s a complex problem, but not impossible to solve–it just takes more than lather, rinse, repeat…

 

No way…

by

…that 90% of the Democrats endorse and support Hillary Clinton for president in 2016. (Of all the times to forget my earphones–so I can’t watch this, but I have heard parts of it.)

She actually thinks Henry Kissinger, Tony Blair and Benjamin Netanyahu are upstanding people that speak well of her integrity and leadership skills?

Kissinger quotes that are alarming:

“Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.”

“Intelligence is not all that important in the exercise of power, and is often, in point of fact, useless.”

“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.”

In other words, power turns him on–ego, ego, ego.  Intelligence is not needed when you’re trying to bomb the hell out of another country–you only need bigger bombs than they have.  And lastly, starving people will do wonders at gaining their compliance to do things they would not normally do.  And he who has the gold makes the rules….

Tony Blair and his compliance with invading Iraq.

And, of course, we know of Netanyahu’s connections to Romney and his exaggerating the Iran threat….for twenty years…

Clinton is a war hawk who would love to push that fabled “red button” at the slightest provocation….or none at all.

One of the employees bought a converter for our TV in the main room for the residents, so I get whatever our antenna picks up.  I watched ABC This Week on Sunday morning and was stunned at Carville’s statement that 90% of Dems have already decided that Clinton will be the nominee.

First of all, how dare you make such an assumption of what the voters are thinking??  I am so sick and tired of politicians and pundits using the phrase “the American people believe/want/need…” when they can only speak for themselves.

…and from where this writer sits, I’d vote for Romney before I’d vote for another Clinton in the White House.  I’m sick of Bushes and Clintons in the White House.  We can thank Clinton for NAFTA, and Bush II for No Child Left a Mind, and for getting us into two wars on false claims of weapons of mass destruction…between all of them, they’ve done a bang up job of ruining this country.  And let’s not leave out the Godfather of it all, Ronald Reagan.  I’m ashamed to say that I voted for him the first four years, but thankfully, not the second four…

Cantor blocking reauthorization of VAWA

by

Turtle Talk has a blog up here.

I found this statement a little unsettling:

The two sources say, to Cantor’s credit, his staff has said they’re willing to try to come up with other solutions to responding to violence against women on tribal lands, as long as the solution doesn’t give tribes jurisdiction over the matter. But proponents of the Senate bill see the limited jurisdictional change as the only realistic way to address the problem.

To Cantor’s credit, he’s willing to come up with solutions…

…as long as the solution doesn’t give tribes jurisdiction…

In other words, “we can’t trust those Indians to know what is best for them, so Big White Brother has to keep his thumb over them and decide what is best for them…” /snark

Meanwhile, women are being brutalized by non-native men who know they can violate them without punishment.  A free-for-all.

Continuing the violence against women

Why is this article trying to make Jovan Belcher out to be some sort of compassionate person who is a victim in this tragedy?

He’s not.

He’s a bully who couldn’t have his cake and eat it, too, and took his girlfriend’s life when she objected to his fooling around on her.  It’s especially poignant that he lost it when she went out and enjoyed herself for an evening without him.

He had a choice on whether to pack up and leave because things were not working out, or kill her and himself.  He chose to take her life…he is not the victim in this scenario.  And he chose to leave his daughter motherless as well as fatherless.

And before I get flack for not buying into the victimhood–there are plenty of people in this world who had rough childhoods and they rose above it and have made decisions not to repeat the bullying, control freak behavior.  It’s a choice.  I’m not saying it’s easy, but it’s the right way to live.

God Bless those that rise above their circumstances and stop the cycle of abuse and violence.

 

No, not broken homes…

Listening to Rush Limbaugh at noon, and can.not.believe.my.ears.

He starts out by criticizing feminists for turning the tragedy of Jovan Belcher political.  (sigh)

He blames single parent households, and then says that Belcher was a sick individual, and that the gun didn’t kill the woman, a man did.

Okay, I have to agree with the gun thing–something that I’m at odds with the progressive crowd.  It’s not the guns that are the problem, but the acceptance of violence as a way to settle disputes.  *ahem* Two wars going on at the same time… Vietnam….Kent State…the Occupy movements…I could go on…

The marriage myth is just that–that kids from divorced parents will turn into killers or wife beaters, etc.

Well, let’s look at that, shall we?

George W. Bush was a product of an intact household.  Launched aforementioned wars.  Agreed that waterboarding and other torture was quite all right.

As far as I know, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld’s parents were also together.

John Wayne Gacy had an intact home, and it should be noted that there was domestic violence in the home, along with his father being alcoholic.

There are many folks who manage to make something of themselves without being violent towards others in spite of divorce.

It’s a crock that divorce alone causes abhorrent behavior.  Poverty is more of an indicator of how well a person will do, but we can’t deal with that, now can we?
