No More

by

Jeff Nguyen has a blog up featuring Eddie Vedder’s song “No More”.

God bless Phil Donahue— still fighting the good fight.  I grew up watching Donahue and he opened my world.  He talked about subjects that were taboo.  He asked intelligent questions.  I loved the “live” aspect of his shows where callers could call in to add to the story.

It was a sad day when his show was no more.  And even sadder that he was fired from MSNBC for speaking out against the Iraq war.

 

NSA: It’s worse than we thought

by

I hope you’re sitting down, because this is going to blow you away.

An interactive graphic from Der Spiegel explains that this tool is a part of NSA’s ANT division that the agency developed so it can see and hear what is happening in a room “without having to actually install radio-signal-emitting bugging devices in them.”

~~~~~~~~~

…and you thought that mercury poisoned folk like myself were crazy for saying that EMF’s bothered us greatly.  When I was sicker, I could not talk on a cell phone for an hour, or I would become ill with a migraine.  EMF’s from the classroom smartboard/computer/wand make me ill.

And as far as the radiated beams causing cancer…well, that is a stone in the gravel pit.  The NSA is running amok with nobody reining them in or following anything that looks like our Constitution…

Oh, and in case you missed it–they’re also intercepting laptops bought online and installing spyware on them. Yep.

….because we got to get the boogeyman.

We got to get the boogeyman.

I wonder about this and those birds falling out of the sky.  More here.

The ripples that come after…

by

...Congress cuts unemployment benefits.  I disagree with the writer’s assertion that the Democrats “wanted to continue” unemployment benefits.  Are you kidding me?  These are the same people going along with Third Way mentality that wants to end New Deal social programs….

…meanwhile, they budgeted $500 Billion for the defense budget….a budget that should be reigned in, because they have too many contractors, too much waste,  (want to find money to support the jobless, give food to the hungry, and find homes for the homeless?  $430 MILLION in cutting waste is a place to start)  and an NSA that is running amok.

There is just something very, very wrong when a country spends more money to kill people than save them.

 

 

 

 

Third Way

by

You might remember this post with a quote that says the words “third way”.  Not long after I posted it, Ed on the Ed Show (MSNBC) mentioned the Third Way.  I can’t remember exactly what he said, but it was negative and the segment intrigued me.

I’ve just now gotten around to doing a bit of research on Third Way.  Whew…do you smell a rat??  Me, too.

Red flags are going off with Elizabeth Warren being attacked by supposed Democrats for…speaking out against selling us out to the 1% by cutting Social Security and other social programs….calling them “populist”. Um-hmmm…that and the word “entitlement” are key words for the “I’ve-got-mine-screw-you” crowd. 

Now, getting back to the previous post with Hillary Clinton’s religious leader saying those words:  third way…and how they wanted to do away with New Deal programs:

It emerged, he [Reverend Don Jones] says, as a third way, a reaction against both separatist fundamentalism and the New Deal’s labor-based liberalism.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Social Security. Public Schools.  Medicaid.  Medicare.  Public employees like fire fighters, police.  Public Libraries.  A decent living wage.

I know that it’s hard to believe they want to destroy it all, but all signs are pointing towards that very end.

Elizabeth Warren stands in the way of that.

Here’s a humorous video up on it:

Please, please run for President, Elizabeth.  Please!!  I’ll go knocking on doors…whatever needs done to help get you votes.  Hillary Clinton is nothing but a Goldwater Girl doing the dirty work of the bankers, warmongers, education profiteers, Big Oil, Monsanto, and no doubt countless other organizations that don’t give a crap about Americans or America, the poor, the elderly, the children, the environment, nor the middle class.

Please run, Elizabeth.

Larry Lujack

by

Those of you not from the Midwest won’t get this post, but an icon of the 70s has passed–Larry Lujack who dominated the radio during the 70s, has passed.   We lived three hours away from Chicago, but the powerful WLS reached our little town and much of northern Indiana. (There is a great youtube of Lujack broadcasting in May 1971.  I don’t think it’s “official” , though, so I can’t link to it.  But just listening to it is a great toss back to those days–the fun we had (describing oil cans as “beautiful” *snort* ) and the times–Vietnam updates /protestors are featured on the news and I’m not sure, but I think they are announcing officers being investigated for shooting Vietnamese, but I’m not sure if it’s related to the My Lai massacre.)

We loved listening to Lujack on our school bus as we made the trip into school, laughing at programs like the “Tooth Fairy”…complete with background noise like doors opening/closing, footsteps, and all that made radio great.  I feel sorry for my kids’ generation, because they never got to experience that part of our culture.

I had the name “boogiecheck” for awhile as a log on name.  People thought it was something dirty–it wasn’t.  It was in reference to a program on WLS with John Records Landecker, where he made short bits of callers’ conversations into a hilarious soundbyte.   The program was so popular that when Landecker went to a local high school to speak at a convocation, he was greeted with the crowd chanting:  “Boogie Check, Boogie Check, ooh aah!  Boogie Check, Boogie Check, ooh aah!”   This was the intro to the program from that moment on.

Landecker once told a story of one Friday, a payday, in the olden days where they actually handed out paper checks that one took to the bank to deposit.  He said he picked up his check, and started to walk towards the bank, and with each step, he felt more tired.  His arm hurt.  By the time he got to the bank, he could barely put one foot in front of another.  When he got to the bank teller, he found the reason why:  he was carrying Larry Lujack’s paycheck instead of his own.  Haha.  Must have been soooome big ole’ paycheck. 🙂

Peace and comfort to Larry’s family on his passing…

I heart Valerie Plame

by

Valerie Plame was on CNN talking with Wolf Blitzer a little while ago.  I tried to locate her interview on their site…but it’s nowhere on there and I’m too tired to look deeper for it.

She talked about the newest revelation of the CIA operative in Iran…who disappeared while on assignment.  She said the analyst who sent him there had no business doing so.  A further explanation on CBS stated that three analysts were fired after his disappearance.

Plame stated that since 9/11, the defense dept has been overtaken by defense contractors.  She named the amount, but I forget how much– a large amount, though.  She is all for cutting the amount of defense contractors to shrink the dept back to manageable size. (paraphrasing)

Watch your back, Valerie.  John F. Kennedy had the same thoughts….

 

Reign of Error; Kochs, et al, planning assault on Ed.

by

Patrick Walsh has a report up on Reign of Error, by Diane Ravitch.

Oh, and have you heard?  It’s open season on teachers.  The climate that No Child Left a Mind and Race to the Bottom have created—to punish students for not being perfect students and their teachers, who are under tremendous pressures to not have any stupid kids (said facetiously)–has now come to fruition.  I’m sure Bill Gates, Eli Broad, Michelle Rhee, et al, are laughing themselves silly.

Jan Ressenger put up a link to this report from the Guardian on just how far the Kochs and their comrades are willing to go….not only to destroy public education, but continue attacks on working folks and unions…

SPN’s president, Tracie Sharp, told the Guardian that “as a pro-freedom network of thinktanks, we focus on issues like workplace freedom, education reform, and individual choice in healthcare: backbone issues of a free people and a free society.”

~~~~~~~

I wonder if she could get the word “free” in there any more…was she wrapped in a flag, too??  Because that would *definitely* mean that this program was patriotic and would strengthen democracy…

...by destroying it…

“it’s for your own good” has to be the biggest lie ever told!

Side note~ someone in the comments section linked to the Yes Men video. Enjoy. (Be sure to click on Part 2–with Surviva-balls.  Hilarious.)

Someone also kindly posted a link to a list of Kraft foods.  Again…where are the antitrust laws?  Why is one food manufacturer able to control so much of the market share?  Not that junk food, which is the majority of crap that Kraft makes, is something healthy..what if folks were able to afford healthy made-from-scratch food…?  We could do some serious damage to Kraft’s bottom line if we refused to buy their junk food and bought only fresh….and we’d be healthier, too.

Center for Media and Democracy has the scoop on SPN.  (As a side note~ I haven’t been getting regular emails of the CMD for a few months now–it’s been spotty at best…interesting.  I’ll have to make a note to keep checking their website for updates.)

True to nature, they hide their lobbying disguised to avoid paying taxes.  Good Grief, these people know how to play the game of getting someone else to pay while they reap the benefits.

The mention of the Goldwater Institute raises huge red flags–Hillary Clinton was a Goldwater Girl.  An excellent blog here on her history…er, her trying to re-write her history…and Bill’s.

The Clintons LOVE poor black people on welfare

• The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) that was dreamt up by past Republican administrations, was actually passed by Congress and signed by Clinton. This act was filled with vindictive measures aimed at the poor. Among other things, it set a five-year lifetime limit for cash assistance and gave the states power to adopt stringent restrictions in several other areas. Another key part of the Act, was the imposition for the first time of lifetime limits on welfare. Once a welfare mother uses up this lifetime limit, set at five years by the federal government, she and her children can never again receive federal cash benefits, no matter how desperate their condition and no matter what happens to the overall economy.
Bill Clinton has certainly laid his Mack game down heavy in the black community. Maybe that’s why the African-American community has been so thoroughly duped by lip service, prominent public appearances and appointments, and an office on Harlem’s 125th (although Clinton certainly hasn’t used it much).

~~~~~~~~

Ahem.   There are white people on food stamps, as well.  The Clintons, along with the Kochs, et al, don’t like POOR people.  Period.

We can’t talk about Bill Clinton’s love for his “black race” without mentioning Rwanda. You remember what happened in Rwanda? If you don’t, then I suggest you rent the movie “Hotel Rwanda” and be prepared to be thoroughly disgusted. Bill Clinton not only refused to intervene to save over one million people from being hacked to death, but he even declined to convene his Cabinet to discuss the crisis.

~~~~~~~~~

I highly recommend Hotel Rwanda.  Just don’t watch it and Schindler’s List on the same weekend.  I actually had to call my son after watching them both one weekend….I needed to talk to a sane human being…

And let’s not forget this piece on the secretive group Hillary Clinton belongs to.  As I’ve said on many occasions…it never ceases to amaze me how people who call themselves Christian act nothing like Christ.  Who would Jesus bomb, Hillary?

I’ve read this piece before, but this sentence just packed a punch:

It emerged, he [Reverend Don Jones] says, as a third way, a reaction against both separatist fundamentalism and the New Deal’s labor-based liberalism.

~~~~~~~~

…a reaction against….the New Deal’s labor-based liberalism.  In other words:   unions….working folks….public education…social security…medicaid…..livable wages…(and the environment, too, but that would come later).

…and if you listen carefully to conservative media, you’ll hear subtle and outwardly snide attacks on Roosevelt’s New Deal.  Get it, now?

And this:

Niebuhr and Tillich’s combination of aggressiveness in foreign affairs and limited domestic ambition naturally led Clinton toward the gop. She was a Goldwater Girl who, under the tutelage of her high school history teacher Paul Carlson (whom Jones describes as “to the right of the John Birchers”), attended biweekly anticommunist meetings and later served as president of Wellesley’s Young Republicans chapter.

~~~~~~

…she attended biweekly anticommunist meetings.  Wellesley…if the movie “Mona Lisa Smile” is any indication, is a conservative’s utopia…so Young Republicans chapter there?  Pretty hard to swallow that this was a fluke -a flash in the pan….especially when one turns a critical eye to Hillary’s record.  I mean, if they call themselves Democrats, but act as Republicans…

“Mind conservative but a heart liberal” tells me that she is like so many guys who say they’re “socially liberal, but fiscally conservative”.  What this means is:  I’m selfish and self-absorbed.  And I don’t follow my heart.  I let my purse strings do the thinking for me.   In other words, I choose money over God.  (Jesus said that we could only serve one Master–money or God.  Not both.)

Okay, there is more to write, but I’m really tired from the day and need to call it quits.

 

Documentary on Chem trails

by

Well, this is the most documented film on chemtrails that I’ve seen to date.  Lots of stuff to digest…if the nausea from sick feeling doesn’t get you first…

It’s the first segment of seven, so you’ll have to click on the rest at the site.  I recommend clicking on the youtube link to upload the others, as it seems there is a problem with the sound.

In video #3– the woman senator brings up the skyrocketing numbers of Alzheimers and the link to aluminum.  She mentioned the theory that people who drank a lot of soda pop from aluminum cans became ill with alzheimer’s.  She said her father had alzheimers and never drank soda pop.  My Mom didn’t either.   It was always a gripe of mine that my father was adamant against junk food and he never allowed pop in the house when we were growing up (but now I am thankful for his wisdom).

AND–this is a big AND–pop didn’t come in aluminum cans until later–it was manufactured with glass bottles in the 70s and I think early 80s.  If this theory is the case, then why are the pop manufacturers still allowed to use aluminum cans?? If it were true, why wouldn’t aluminum cans be banned?  For that matter, why is plastic still allowed to be used by food manufacturers when it is known that plastics disrupt the endocrine system and cause cancer?

You know, as I am listening to her talk, with the accumulation of aluminum in the brain cells over time, it pops into my head that it was the early 90s that Hughes Aircraft got the patent for spraying…it was about ten years ago–1993–when my Mom started to exhibit some symptoms of Alzheimers.  Like mercury, lead, and other heavy metals, it takes time for it to accumulate to a point that the person can no longer function.  It’s a gradual process of disabling someone….and animals, too.  The deer with neurological diseases popped into my head as I wrote that.

Given that gluten intolerance causes gut inflammation (leaky gut), that allows heavy metal poisoning….and deer love corn, which is GMO…well, it begs the question of whether the deer are suffering from gut inflammation….that nobody is testing for, naturally.  I did a quick search for animals and gut inflammation, and could find nothing.  I don’t know why this wouldn’t be an issue to explore–any animal with corn or soy as a primary diet food should be watched carefully–but we can’t have that–might dip into Monsanto’s profit margin to label their frankenfood as harmful to physical and neurological health.

Gut inflammation and heavy metal poisoning pretty much go hand in hand.  You’re likely to find one with the other.

The video mentions the spraying causing cancer—it is a known fact that mercury causes cancer.

One of the symptoms associated with aluminum toxicity is anemia.  I mentioned in my recent post that I was pale the morning after the skies being sprayed with 26+ chemtrails.  I was as white as a sheet.  I also had the swollen face with pain in my sinuses– a known reaction to aluminum (and mercury), too.  I was jogging the morning of, so I was taking in more air than normal.  This scares me with all the implications of it.  Farmers and anyone who works outside should be alarmed, as well….because the continued exposure will slowly build up.

I’m not sure of the accusations lobbed–there is a lot of money involved in spraying–that much is certain.  And it’s hard not to think about the money trail–who stands to benefit from this?  Who has the resources to pull this off?  Who doesn’t give a rip about the health effects nor have any qualms about killing people?  And if this is a harmless technology, then why deny it is happening?

This is hard to talk about.  It’s disturbing to say the least.  But I’ve seen changes in my health because of the spraying, and because I’m already suffering from mercury poisoning, I’m especially vulnerable to toxins from any source.  I have noticed in FW that there were sooo many people on oxygen, with difficulty breathing.  Most of them were only ten years older than me.  You just didn’t see so much illness as you see today.  I mean, it’s rare that a week goes by that I don’t hear about a young person getting cancer.  Young kids are getting heart attacks, for crying out loud.  You NEVER heard of that unless someone was very ill–it wasn’t a shock because they were in ill health.  Now they’re dropping dead playing sports.

Something is terribly, terribly wrong.
