       "It's Just That Pollution Isn't Counted."   >:(
       
       Vandana Shiva, the activist, author and scholar gives a
       fascinating talk here about the idiocy, the tragedy and fallacy
       of speaking about "growth", which connotes progress and triumph
       - in terms of the GDP.
       "I'm not an economist and that's why I can look at GDP and
       growth from the outside, where it hurts... where it hurts
       nature, eco systems, local communities. And it's at that level
       that our models of growth which are driving not just our
       economic paradigm, but the paradigm of how society should be, is
       creating poverty at so many levels." she says.
       "The problem with the GDP as an abstract number is, it
       insulates itself from feedback- and no matter what scale of
       destruction takes place, there is no way to feed it back in...
       if you take China's and India's growth and add the destruction
       of the rivers- just our water bodies and our rivers because of
       pollution, we would be having a NEGATIVE growth. It's just that
       pollution isn't counted."
       We love you Vandana!

       The following article informs you of the truth. I recommend you
       save it and use it as a reference in your daily food purchases.
       It will help you live a longer and healthier life. Consider it a
       prudent and informative bit of caveat emptor.

       Here are 20 nutrition facts that should be common sense (but
       clearly aren’t).
       1. Artificial Trans Fats Are Not Suitable For Human Consumption
       Trans fats are nasty.
       Producing them involves high pressure, heat and hydrogen gas in
       the presence of a metal catalyst.
       This process turns liquid vegetable oils into a thick, toxic
       sludge that is solid at room temperature.
       You have to wonder what was going through the head of the person
       who actually thought of putting this stuff in food and selling
       it to humans. It is baffling, really.
       Of course, trans fats are more than just unappetising. Studies
       have shown that they are incredibly harmful as well, linked to a
       drastic increase in heart disease risk (1, 2).
       2. You Don’t Need to Eat Every 2-3 Hours
       You really don’t need to be constantly eating in order to lose
       weight.
       Studies have actually looked at this and found that smaller,
       more frequent meals have no effect on fat burning or body weight
       (3, 4).
       Eating every 2-3 hours is inconvenient and completely
       unnecessary for the majority of people. Just eat when you’re
       hungry and make sure to choose healthy and nutritious foods.
       3. The Mainstream Media Should Never be Trusted For Nutrition
       Information
       The mainstream media is part of the reason for all the nutrition
       confusion out there.
       It seems like every week there is a new study making headlines,
       often contradicting another study that came out just a few
       months earlier.
       These stories often get a lot of attention, but when you look
       past the headlines and read the actual studies, you find that
       they are taken way out of context.
       In many cases, there are other higher quality studies that
       directly contradict the media frenzy (which rarely get
       mentioned).
       4. Meat Does Not Rot in Your Colon
       It is completely false that meat rots in the colon.
       The human body is well equipped to digest and absorb all the
       important nutrients found in meat.
       The protein gets broken down in the stomach by stomach acids,
       then the rest of it gets broken down in the small intestine by
       powerful digestive enzymes.
       All the fats, proteins and nutrients are then moved past the
       digestive wall and into the body. There is simply nothing left
       to “rot” in the colon.
       5. Eggs Are Among The Healthiest Foods You Can Eat
       Eggs were unfairly demonized because the yolks are high in
       cholesterol.
       However, studies show that cholesterol from eggs doesn’t raise
       blood cholesterol in the majority of people (5).
       New studies that include hundreds of thousands of people show
       that eggs have no effect on heart disease in otherwise healthy
       individuals (6).
       The truth is, eggs are among the healthiest and most nutritious
       foods you can eat.
       Almost all the nutrients are found in the yolk, and telling
       people to avoid the yolks (or eggs altogether) is one of the
       biggest mistakes in the history of nutrition.
       6. Sugary Drinks Are The Most Fattening Aspect of The Modern
       Diet
       Added sugar is a disaster, and getting it in liquid form is even
       worse.
       The problem with liquid sugar, is that your brain doesn’t
       compensate for the calories by eating less of other foods (7).
       In other words, these calories don’t get “registered” by the
       brain, making you eat more calories overall (8).
       Of all the junk foods, sugar-sweetened beverages are the most
       fattening of all, and that is saying something.
       7. Low-Fat Does Not Equal Healthy
       The “low-fat” diet promoted by the mainstream nutrition
       guidelines is a miserable failure.
       Numerous long-term studies show that it doesn’t work, neither
       for weight loss or disease prevention (9, 10, 11).
       What’s more, it led to a plethora of processed “low-fat” foods
       to be brought to the market. Because foods taste bad without the
       fat, the food manufacturers added a whole bunch of sugar to them
       instead.
       Foods that are naturally low-fat (like fruits and vegetables)
       are great, but processed foods with “low-fat” on the label are
       usually loaded with unhealthy ingredients.
       8. Fruit Juice is Not That Different From Sugary Soft Drinks
       A lot of people believe that fruit juices are healthy.
       It seems to make sense, because they come from fruit.
       However, fruit juices contain just as much sugar as sugary soft
       drinks like coca cola (12)!
       There is no fiber in them and no chewing resistance, making it
       very easy to consume massive amounts of sugar.
       A single cup of orange juice contains just as much sugar as two
       whole oranges (13, 14).
       If you’re trying to avoid sugar for health reasons, then you
       should avoid fruit juice as well. It is just as bad, and the
       small amounts of antioxidants do not make up for the large
       amounts of sugar.
       9. Feeding Your Gut Bugs is Critical
       Did you know that you are actually just 10 percent human?
       The bacteria in the intestine, known as the gut flora, actually
       outnumber human cells 10 to 1!
       In recent years, research has shown that the types and number of
       these bacteria can have profound implications for human health,
       affecting everything from body weight to brain function (15,
       16).
       Just like your body’s cells, the bacteria need to eat, and
       soluble fiber is their preferred fuel source (17, 18).
       This may be the most important reason to include plenty of fiber
       in your diet, to feed the little guys in the intestine.
       10. “Cholesterol” is Not The Enemy
       What people generally refer to as “cholesterol” isn’t really
       cholesterol.  ;D
       When people talk about the so-called “bad” and “good”
       cholesterol, they’re actually referring to the proteins that
       carry cholesterol around.
       LDL stands for Low Density Lipoprotein and HDL stands for High
       Density Lipoprotein.
       The truth is, cholesterol is not the enemy. The main determinant
       of heart disease risk is the type of lipoproteins that carry
       cholesterol around, not cholesterol itself.
       11. Weight Loss Supplements Almost Never Work
       There are tons of different weight loss supplements on the
       market.
       The problem is that they almost never work. They are claimed to
       lead to magical results, but fail when put to the test in actual
       studies.
       Even the ones who do work, the effect is too small to really
       make a noticeable difference.
       People who promote magic solutions like weight loss supplements
       are actually causing harm, because this distracts people from
       the things that actually matter.
       The truth is that the only way to lose weight and keep it off,
       is to adopt a lifestyle change.
       12. Health is About Way More Than How Much You Weigh
       People focus way too much on just weight gain/loss. The truth is
       that health goes way beyond that.
       Many obese people are metabolically healthy, while many normal
       weight people have the same metabolic problems associated with
       obesity (19, 20).
       Focusing just on body weight is counterproductive. It is
       possible to improve health without causing weight loss, and vice
       versa.
       It appears that the area where fat builds up is important. The
       fat in the abdominal cavity (belly fat) is associated with
       metabolic problems, while the fat under the skin is mostly a
       cosmetic problem (21).
       Therefore, reducing belly fat should be a priority for health
       improvement, the fat under the skin and the number on the scale
       don’t matter as much.
       13. Calories Count, But You Don’t Necessarily Need to Count Them
       Calories are important, that is a fact.
       Obesity is a matter of excess stored energy (calories)
       accumulating in the form of body fat.
       However, this does not mean that people need to track or count
       calories, or monitor everything that enters their bodies.
       Although calorie counting works for a lot of people, there are
       many things that people can do to lose weight, without ever
       having to count a single calorie.
       For example, eating more protein has been shown to lead to
       automatic calorie restriction and significant weight loss.
       Without restricting calories (22, 23).
       14. People With High Blood Sugar and/or Type 2 Diabetes Should
       Not be Eating a High-Carb Diet
       For decades, people have been advised to eat a low-fat diet with
       carbs at 50-60 percent of calories.
       Surprisingly, this advice was extended to include people with
       type 2 diabetes, which can not tolerate a lot of carbs.
       People with type 2 diabetes are resistant to insulin and any
       carbs they eat will cause a big rise in blood sugar levels.
       For this reason, they need to take blood sugar lowering drugs to
       bring their levels down.
       If anyone benefits from a low-carb diet, it is diabetic
       patients. In one study, a low-carb diet for only 6 months
       allowed 95.2 percent of patients to reduce or eliminate their
       blood sugar medication (24).
       Although the advice is changing (slowly), many “mainstream”
       organizations around the world are still telling diabetics to
       eat a high-carb diet.
       15. Fat Doesn’t Make You Fat, but Neither Does Carbohydrate
       Fat has often been blamed for obesity, because fat contains more
       calories per gram than protein and carbs.
       However, this doesn’t really have any practical meaning.
       People who eat a diet that is high in fat (but low in carbs)
       actually end up eating fewer calories than people on low-fat,
       high-carb diets (25, 26).
       This has conversely led many people to blame carbs for obesity,
       but this is a mistake as well. Plenty of populations have eaten
       high-carb diets but remained healthy.
       As with everything in nutrition, this depends on the context.
       Fat can be fattening, carbs can be fattening. It all depends on
       the rest of the stuff you are eating and your overall lifestyle.
       16. Junk Food Can be Addictive
       In the past 100 years or so, food has changed.
       People are eating more processed food than ever, and the
       technologies used to engineer foods have become more elaborate.
       These days, food engineers have found ways to make food so
       “rewarding” that the brain gets flooded with dopamine (27).
       This is the same mechanism employed by drugs of abuse (28).
       For this reason, some (but definitely not all) people can become
       addicted and completely lose control over their consumption
       (29).
       Many studies have looked at this and found similarities between
       processed junk foods and drugs of abuse (30).  (Agelbert NOTE:
       Anyone NOT wanting to use CFS to also recognize the similarities
       between drug pushers and processed food manufacturers is either
       delusional or complicit in the legalese hair splitting mendacity
       the food processing corporations engage in to cover theirab
       initio[/I] - from the very beginning! [I]mens rea.)
       17. Health Claims on Packaging Should Never be Trusted
  HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/47b20s0.gif
       People are more health conscious than ever.
       The food manufacturers [img width=100
       height=070]
  HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-241013183046.jpeg[/img]<br
       />are well aware of this, and have found ways to market the same
       old junk to the health conscious people as well.
       They
  HTML http://www.u.arizona.edu/~patricia/cute-collection/smileys/lying-smiley.gif<br
       />do this by adding misleading labels like “whole grain” or “low
       fat” on their foods.
       You will now find all sorts of seriously unhealthy junk food
       with health claims on the label, such as “whole grain” fruit
       loops and cocoa puffs.
       These labels are almost always misleading, and are used to trick
       people into thinking that they’re making the right choice for
       themselves (and their children).
       If the packaging of a food tells you that it is healthy, then it
       probably isn’t.] (Agelbert NOTE: But this mens rea doubletalk is
       LEGAL.  >:( in our  UNLAWFUL corrupt court system.  >:()[/i]
       18. Refined Vegetable Oils Should be Avoided
       Vegetable oils, like soybean, corn and canola oils, are
       extracted from seeds using harsh processing methods.
       These oils contain large amounts of Omega-6 fatty acids, which
       are biologically active and humans never consumed in large
       amounts during evolution (31).
       Studies show that these oils can cause oxidative stress and make
       the LDL lipoproteins in the body become oxidized, potentially
       contributing to heart disease (32, 33, 34).
       19. “Organic” or “Gluten-Free” Does Not Equal Healthy
       There are many health trends in the world these days.
       Organic food is popular, and going gluten-free is trendy.
       However, just because something is organic or gluten-free, it
       doesn’t mean that it is healthy. For example, you can make all
       sorts of junk foods out of organic ingredients.
       Foods that are naturally gluten-free are fine, but gluten-free
       processed foods are often made with seriously harmful
       ingredients that are even worse than their gluten-containing
       counterparts.
       The truth is, organic sugar is still sugar and gluten-free junk
       food is still junk food.
       20. Blaming New Health Problems on Old Foods Doesn’t Make Sense
       Heart disease didn’t become a problem until about a hundred
       years ago.
       The obesity epidemic started around 1980 and the type 2 diabetes
       epidemic followed soon after.
       These are the biggest health problems in the world, and it seems
       pretty clear that diet has a lot to do with them.
       For some very strange reason, the health authorities started
       blaming them on foods like red meat, eggs and butter.
       But we’ve been eating these natural foods for thousands of
       years, while these health problems are relatively new.
       Doesn’t it make more sense to suspect all the new stuff instead?
       Such as all the processed foods, added sugar, refined grains and
       vegetable oils?
       Blaming new health problems on old foods simply doesn’t make
       sense. *

       Empowering Citizens
       The Community Rights Movement, as host Janaia Donaldson points
       out, is one of the most exciting movements of our time. 150
       communities in 9 states have passed ordinances that stop
       corporations from moving in.
       This means these communities have been able to stop natural gas
       fracking, huge factory farms, and other big business.
       "We The People" have and can exercise our authority to govern
       ourselves." says community rights educator Paul Cienfuegos.

       Meet Theranos, Inc. – The Blood Testing Company with Henry
       Kissinger and a Cadre of Military and Political “Elite” on its
       Board[/size][/move]
       Michael Krieger | Posted Tuesday Jul 22, 2014 at 4:59 pm
       
       Kissinger deserves vigorous prosecution for war crimes, for
       crimes against humanity, and for offenses against common or
       customary or international law, including conspiracy to commit
       murder, kidnap, and torture.
       A good liar must have a good memory: Kissinger is a stupendous
       liar with a remarkable memory.
       – Christopher Hitchens in The Trial of Henry Kissinger
       I first heard of Theranos, Inc. in the fall of 2013, when the
       Wall Street Journal published a piece titled, Elizabeth Holmes:
       The Breakthrough of Instant Diagnosis. However, it wasn’t just
       me. It was the first time pretty much anyone on earth had heard
       of the company, because despite having been founded a decade
       earlier in 2003, it maintained a level of secrecy more
       characteristic of classified military operations.
       Here are some excerpts from that original article:
       [quote]Ms. Holmes, a 29-year-old chemical and electrical
       engineer and entrepreneur, dropped out of Stanford as an
       undergraduate after founding a life sciences company called
       Theranos in 2003. Her inventions, which she is discussing in
       detail here for the first time, could upend the industry of
       laboratory testing and might change the way we detect and treat
       disease.
       Ten years ago, Ms. Holmes was working out of the basement of a
       group college house, a world away from her current headquarters
       at a rambling industrial building in a research park just off
       campus. The company’s real estate was one of the few Theranos
       facts known to Silicon Valley, but one suggestive of the closely
       held business’s potential: The space was once home to Facebook,
       and before that Hewlett-Packard. [/quote]
       Agelbert NOTE: The above paragraph is TEXTBOOK puff piece
       mendacity laced with the NOT SO HIDDEN message to the reader
       that THIS IS A BUY - GET IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR WHEN THE IPO
       COMES OUT - THIS IS A HORATIO ALGER SUCCESS STORY-  USA, USA!
       ::)
       [quote]
       The secret that hundreds of employees are now refining involves
       devices that automate and miniaturize more than 1,000 laboratory
       tests, from routine blood work to advanced genetic analyses.
       Theranos’s processes are faster, cheaper and more accurate than
       the conventional methods and require only microscopic blood
       volumes, not vial after vial of the stuff. The experience will
       be revelatory to anyone familiar with current practices, which
       often seem like medicine by Bram Stoker.
       A Theranos technician first increases blood flow to your hand by
       applying a wrap similar to one of those skiing pocket warmers,
       then uses a fingerstick to draw a few droplets of blood from the
       capillaries at the end of your hand. The blood wicks into a tube
       in a cartridge that Ms. Holmes calls a “nanotainer,” which holds
       microliters of a sample, or about the amount of a raindrop. The
       nanotainer is then run through the analyzers in a Theranos
       laboratory. Results are usually sent back to a physician, but a
       full blood work-up—metabolic and immune markers, cell count,
       etc.—was in my inbox by the time I walked out the door. (Phew:
       all clear.)
       It’s the kind of modern, painless service that consumers rarely
       receive in U.S. health care, though Ms. Holmes makes the point
       the other way around: “We’re here in Silicon Valley inside the
       consumer technology world . . . and what we think we’re building
       is the first consumer health-care technology company. Patients
       are empowered by having better access to their own health
       information, and then by owning their own data.”

       So who could argue with that story right? A bright young prodigy
       emerges from Silicon Valley, drops out of Stanford and ten years
       later develops a product that could disrupt the healthcare
       industry for the better. So what’s the catch? Well, as the Wall
       Street Journal itself noted later on in that very same article:
       Ms. Holmes declines to discuss Theranos’s future plans, though
       one may speculate. There could be military applications in the
       battlefield, especially given the numerous framed American flags
       across the Theranos office and the presence on its corporate
       board of retired Gens. Jim Mattis and Gary Roughead, former
       Defense Secretary Bill Perry and former Secretary of State
       George Shultz.
       It was this paragraph that raised a red flag for me back then,
       but I more or less brushed it off and forgot about the story.
       Until today, when I came across an article by Robert Wenzel
       titled, What is Henry Kissinger and Gang Up To Now? It was here
       that I realized there are far more shady members of the board
       that was initially reported. We can now add to the list:
       •Henry Kissinger
       •Richard Kovacevich- who served as the Chief Executive Officer
       of Wells Fargo & Company from 1998–2007 and Chairman of the
       Board from 2001-2009.
       •William Perry- Former Secretary of Defense
       •Riley P. Bechtel -Chairman of the Board and a Director of
       Bechtel Group, Inc
       •Bill Frist- Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader
       •Samuel Nunn- Served as a United States Senator from Georgia for
       twenty-four years and as Chairman of the Senate Armed Services
       Committee
       Yes, this whole thing becomes very creepy, very quickly. You can
       accuse Henry Kissinger of many things, but being a humanitarian
       isn’t one of them. Furthermore, you’d think there’d be more
       healthcare professionals or businesspeople on the board, but
       it’s almost all military men and politicians.
       Even worse, in a USA Today story earlier this month titled,
       Change Agents: Elizabeth Holmes Wants Your Blood, Kissinger
       seems downright giddy:
       “Elizabeth’s iron determination and great intellectual ability
       turned me from a mild skeptic to an enthusiast,” says Kissinger,
       adding that he was introduced to Holmes by his friend Shultz.
       “We aren’t exactly a group of people who give away our time
       lightly,  :evil4:” Kissinger says with a laugh. “But we are
       impressed with her commitment to lowering health costs and bring
       this advance to developing nations. Elizabeth may make a lot of
       money, but that is not her motivation.”
       I have no idea what these military men and war criminals are up
       to, but it probably isn’t good. When there’s smoke, there’s
       fire. And there’s a lot of smoke here.

       I agree with Micheal Krieger. Also, Holmes has about as much
       "fear of needles" as she has of Swiss Bank accounts. Just for
       the Hell of it, I Googled "fear of needles". You should too.
       This phrase is the KEY to EVERYTHING published about this
       population tracking and control police state M.I.C. maneuver
       presented to the public as a "private" Corporation for better
       living through cheap blood tests. LOOK for this kind of inane

       like you" BALONEY to make you believe the rest of the TRIPE (See
       Bill Gates left Harvard because he "liked to gamble." :evil4:).
       EVERYBODY remembers those phrases. THAT is why the clever
       propagandists seed the propaganda with them. They are PSYOP
       mnemonic devices. The phrase causes your brain to REMEMBER the
       details of the stuff they want you to remember AND puts your
       caveat emptor circuits to sleep.
       Theranos is the M.I.C. Potemkin front for heinous police state
       population tracking and control program. That is the answer to
       the Conspiracy Quiz I posted yesterday. Learn or be burned,

       A side note about Theranos
       Theranos is licensed to open blood testing services at
       pharmacies in all U.S. States. However they Only have a one or
       two in Palo alto, California and FORTY in Phoenix Arizona. They
       get the oldy goldies suckered FIRST.

       (see getting YOU to pay for your own enslavement).  8)
       [quote]
       Theranos disclosed to Inc. magazine that it initially targeted
       its blood testing services at new-to-market drugs involved in
       clinical trials, because frequent testing is required to
       indicate whether a new drug therapy is efficacious or causing
       adverse reactions.[11] Since this disclosure, Theranos has begun
       to offer services directly to consumers via Theranos Wellness
       Centers located inside Walgreens stores (beginning in
       2013),[27][28] with, as of January 2015, one posted location in

       How to beat Theranos at their M.I.C. agenda game
       The key to understanding what Theranos is REALLY all about is
       the "fear of needles" phrase that shows up EVERWHERE in regard
       to the esteemed, humble, hard working, lover of humanity,
       youngest billionaire on the Forbes list, Ms. Holmes. [img
       width=160
       height=095]
  HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-241013183046.jpeg[/img]
       They KNOW people generally are not too fond of needles. They
       will claim that it's just another silly "conspiracy theory" that
       they are working for the police state M.I.C.
  HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/237.gif
       They will claim that they have no interest in your blood data,
       and if they  did, the government already can get that data from
       any and all labs in the country using the "Patriot" Act.  ;D
       Yeah, that is true. BUT Theranos, unlike all blood labs, is
       going to use a finger lancet device to get your blood for all of
       its tests (except for the urinalysis, of course - which they
       also offer - gotta make everything look above board, ya know!).
       Now suppose I was a Monsanto/CDC/M.I.C. Dr. Strangelove that
       wanted to INJECT people with a sleeper nano-agent that could be
       activated with some aerosol in the atmosphere (later on) to
       produce certain physical effects or mental dysfunction on those
       injected on cue?
  HTML http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-devil19.gif
       What would I do to make up a reasonable excuse to introduce the
       agent into a person's blood stream?
       Well, any medical doctor knows that any break in the skin, no
       matter how tiny (see tsetse flies and mosquito disease vectors)
       can permit a serious invasion of our cardiovascular system and
       compromise our immune system.
       Said Dr. Strangelove might "patent" a handy dandy FINGER LANCET
       DEVICE that ACTUALLY has it's tip laced with the nano-sleeper
       bio-agent. Of course I would have to sell people on the idea
       that NEEDLES are a BAD thing and PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF THEM,
       would I not? So how would I do THAT without bad mouthing the
       medical establishment that relies 24/7 on the use of needles?
       Why, I would cleverly and disinenuously claim the FOUNDER OF THE
       CORPORATION IS AFRAID OF NEEDLES!   [img width=40

       If the attendant claims that will "not do" because antiseptic
       conditions cannot be "guaranteed" and shows you their neato
       finger lancet wrapped in air tight clear plastic (for your
       health and benefit - not to keep a nano-agent viable, of course
       ;)), I suggest you pull out the other finger lancet device (that
       you purchased earlier somewhere else) that is also wrapped in
       plastic to see their
       reaction...
  HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-200714191258.bmp<br

       There are lots of lancet devices on the market. This is just one
       of several.

       the skin that measures your glucose levels.

       If they have no issues, then my conspiracy theory is baloney.
       But if they refuse to allow you to lance your finger with your
       device, then I suggest you connect all the M.I.C. propaganda and
       skullduggery DOTS in the "fear of Needles" phrase dog and pony
       show AND THEN make an excuse to get TF out of there, pronto.
