Six Corporations that control what you know **edited

Child Health has posted a video on the consolidation of the media into the hands of a few.  This is a prime example of what happens to Freedom of the Press and the Marketplace of Ideas when the public only hears the opinions of Too Big Too Fails.  As the video illustrates, the newsroom editors, TV station editors, and others will decide what the NEWS is…that is why you need to get your news from several different sources with differing opinions…the truth is somewhere in-between.

We used to be the envy of the world for our Freedom of the Press….now we rank 46th in the world.

**edited to correct glaring gaff. Oy.

 

Proving mercury leaching

A clever member of our mercury support group has submitted a pdf of Georgia Tech university testing of his mouthguard for mercury (Hg) contamination.  It proves that Hg leaches out of dental amalgams…something we all knew, but the brain-dead FDA will not acknowledge it.

Mouth Guard Report

Like the Bayer corporation, this is another example of not holding corporations nor dentists, nor the ADA, or anyone else responsible for what can only be described as a criminal act.  People are being poisoned while they look the other way.

Why? Because of $$$ they might have to spend out in lawsuits….can’t have anybody taking responsibility, now can we? /snark

My personal opinion is that every single person who has been made ill by amalgams should be given an automatic disability status until they are able to chelate this stupid poison out of their system and regain their health and ability to earn a living.

 

They’re killing environmentalists

DN! had a piece up yesterday on environmentalists being killed for trying to protect the land, air, and water…for all of us.

147 killed in 2012, compared with 51 in 2002…nearly three times as many.

Jose DeSilva (sp?) says what Joe Kane said in Savages— that some poor person will accept the dinero of the corporations and aid in the destruction of the forest.  This is how they divided tribe members in Savages–they picked a few vulnerable ones and split the loyalties. Divide and Conquer in action….

As you listen to the video, it is really shocking how this is going on and not being reported.  I mean, how obvious is it that these are deliberate acts…an axe in the head of an environmentalist…Penetra being murdered right after speaking out for the environment…and we never hear of this in the lame media?  Yet…they are right there to label environmentalists as nuts and whackos who should be condemned.

 

 

 

 

What if you would rather not have WiFi at the beach?

In what seems like a positive–having wifi in public spaces–perhaps is not so great…?

What if you’re going to the beach to get the hell away from “civilization” and find yet another intrusion of technology in a natural space…??

What if, like me, you’re heavy metal poisoned and react negatively to Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMF) to the point of zapping your strength (think kryptonite), zapping the adrenals,  and making you nauseous to the point of wanting to throw up?  What if you’re prone to seizures?

I’m sitting here typing this, and the radio keeps giving me feedback….and I’m wondering why the hell is it doing that?  Is there a surge of EMF? If so, where is it coming from??

If you’re concerned about this, there are measures you can take to protect yourself from EMF’s.

 

 

Pro-Russian aggressors seize police station

This is not good.  They say it’s not the Russians, but pro-Russian Ukrainians…but I dunno…

Ukrainians are passionate, that’s for sure, but to seize a police station?  That says to me if it is Ukrainians,  that they felt confident enough with *someone* backing them to pull such a stunt.  *Someone* has to be orchestrating all of this behind the scenes…*someone* whom is power hungry and has a lot to gain.

<sigh>

Meanwhile, I hope my Russian reader is doing okay.  I worry that your seeking information may have landed you in trouble….praying for you…

Senate asks Canadian residents for testimony

The U.S. Senate has asked residents that were forced out of their homes by tarsands in Alberta, Canada, to testify about their experience.

They say in the report that they don’t want to be used for political gain.  I can’t blame them for that–enough evidence of people being used by politicians for them to be wary.

But it is no secret that petroleum is toxic and tarsands are much, much more toxic. 

From the second link:

Tailings ponds which now cover an area the sized of Washington DC contain multiple toxic chemicals including arsenic, benzene, lead, mercury, naphthenic acid, and ammonia.  As much as 2.9 million gallons of toxic tailings leak into the environment every day.  A 2014 study showed that extreme concentrations of PAHs present in tailings may be evaporating into the air and then deposited into water.  New federal research by Environment Canada released in February 2014 confirms that leaking tailings ponds are leaching into groundwater and then into the Athabasca River.

As someone whom has suffered from mercury toxicity, this is particularly alarming to me.  I can be a witness to how devastating this heavy metal is and how difficult it is to get it out of your system and get well again.

Meanwhile, the Enbridge pipeline project is due to get underway in Indiana.  Yet, there are *crickets* from the environmental groups, media, etc.  This is our “XL”…and no one gives a sh*t.

As a side note~ I know there are folks in the oil industry who read my blog–this is not meant to offend, but I can’t be silent on the destruction of the environment for humans, animals, plants, water, and soil.

 

 

 

Update: Shanesha Taylor

I went back to look for updates on Shanesha Taylor, the mother who left her kids in a car to go to a job interview. She pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Leonard Pitts has a good piece up on her plight–the difficulties the poor face in trying to get out of poverty.  He makes some stinging observations about all the waste in Congress…and yet…they would rather deny people food and aid to get out of poverty…

 

 

 

Vancouver peaceful pipeline protests

A problem that plagues peaceful protestors are those that wish to cause trouble.

The problem is in knowing if they are bad actors looking to stir things up for their own amusement or agent provocateurs–sent in by agencies or the oil companies themselves to give the non-violent activists a bad name.  The next problem is banishing them from the movement.

The person calling himself “james Moore” in the piece is typical.  Not knowing the writer of the piece, it’s hard to know if this person said those things or whether it is fabricated to make them look bad.  Or worse–to put this out there to justify police crackdown.

Like I’ve said before, I won’t support violence and many folks who would otherwise support environmentalists will back away from violent protests.

Setting police vehicles on fire is not violence in that it hurts a human being, but it is destructive…and is counterproductive if you think about all the toxins you’re sending into that very environment you’re trying to protect.  You might feel a release of frustration for a moment or two, but in the end, it doesn’t further your cause.

 

 

We are Not Bug Splats

Just how dehumanizing is it to refer to people you kill as “bug splats”??  Good God.

Dehumanizing the “other” is as old as…well, war…I suppose.  The “other” are portrayed as dogs, rats,  and other things to dehumanize them.  It makes it easier to shoot someone if you no longer see them as a human being.

200 innocent children dead.  We should hang our heads in shame.
