LAWSUIT COULD END WATER FLUORIDATION ONCE AND FOR ALL BY DEMONSTRATING ITS NEUROTOXICITY

The practice of water fluoridation in the United States has been under growing scrutiny for years by a public that has become conscious of the fact that adding toxic chemicals which are proven to be harmful to human health and children’s development to public water is medication without consent.

Never-the-less, the effort to stop fluoridation of municipal water supplies has been an uphill battle against entrenched financial interests and against dated ideas about health. While each year we hear news of cities heeding the concerns of their citizens and stopping fluoridation, without a major victory at the national level, people will be fighting this for years to come, all the while consuming toxic chemicals in the one thing we cannot live without, water.

The Fluoride Action Network (FAN) is reporting on a major development to cut the head off of this snake, and an unprecedented lawsuit is now holding promise for a national reversal of municipal water fluoridation.

Based on neurotoxicity studies, the “EPA has been served with a petition that includes more than 2,500 pages of scientific documentation detailing the risks of water fluoridation to human health.”

As noted by FAN in a recent press release:

“This case will present the first time a court will consider the neurotoxicity of fluoride and the question of whether fluoridation presents an unreasonable risk under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

And, in contrast to most other legal challenges of Agency actions, TSCA gives us the right to get the federal court to consider our evidence ‘de novo’ — meaning federal courts are to conduct their own independent review of the evidence without deference to the EPA’s judgment.”

The lawsuit has been served along with a petition containing thousands of signatures of concerned and well-informed citizens, and includes more than 2500 pages of documents detailing the harm inherent in poisoning the pubic with fluoride.

In detail, the complaint is an attempt to demonstrate how this practice violates the Toxic Substances Control Act.

“The Fluoride Action Network (FAN), along with a coalition of environmental and public health groups has filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in response to their denial of our petition under Section 21 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) seeking a ban on water fluoridation.

We believe this lawsuit is an unprecedented opportunity to end the practice once and for all in the U.S., and potentially throughout the world, based on the well-documented neurotoxicity of fluoride. You may read the official complaint here.” [Source]

Final Thoughts

The negative effects of consuming fluoridated water are well-documented, and the body of evidence continues to grow. In 2012 a major Harvard study presented a study demonstrating water fluoridation lowers IQ. In 2016 a study demonstrated a link between increased diabetes and water fluoridation. In 2015 the EPA had to issue new guidelines for safe levels of fluoride, reducing the amount, citing the potential for fluoridated water damages teeth, which ironically, is the very condition which we are told is the reason we need fluoride in the first place.

Public water fluoridation is slowly being defeated, and this lawsuit may play a major role in this fight.

ET Disclosure Lite – Wikileaks and Other Admissions That We’re Not Alone

Gina Flores

Waking Times

Nathaniel Mauka, Staff Writer

NASA Administrator, Major Charles Bolden once told school children that Area 51 did exist and that aliens had visited our planet, but that none of those aliens were hidden at the mysterious base in Nevada. Later, the exact location of Area 51 was revealed in government documents but there was still no mention of aliens. CIA spy planes then confirmed the location of Area 51, though the US government had denied its existence for over 40 years.

With the latest Wikileaks dumps, fueled by Julian Assange, and the testimony of numerous government officials at a congressional-style hearing, the question about aliens is rehashed, but is any new truth really revealed? Are the emails contained in the Wikileaks dumps new news, or is it something that insiders have been revealing to the public for decades now?

Are there really ‘fresh’ details on UFOs and the presence of aliens on our planet in the latest Wikileaks dumps, or is this just a publicity stunt by certain powers which would like to keep the full scope of the alien agenda under wraps?

Julian Assange has been telling different sources for years that UFOs and aliens were disclosed in diplomatic emails. Are these revelations just now appearing before the public eye in the recent Wikileaks dumps, or are the emails revealing something else? Are certain public figures just trying to make “in-roads with the UFO crowd?”

It should be noted that Assange is an Australian who is wanted by Interpol over a charge of rape and sexual assault in Sweden. He has also made some disparaging remarks in the past about other ‘truth’ movements, which will be revealed momentarily. Are the wikileaks dumps preparing the masses for a dam-release of information, or just more cover stories to confuse the already heated conversation among UFO researchers and alien believers looking for full, and final disclosure?

Podesta also promised in a CNN interview, that should Hillary Clinton gain the presidency, she would declassify as many federal documents about aliens as possible.

John Podesta Interviewed by CNN:



Though that outcome obviously hasn’t come to pass, there is still more fodder for those who have been anxious to hear our governments finally reveal the truth about aliens, free-energy, advanced technology, and the numerous additional implications of ‘removing the knowledge of an extraterrestrial presence from the citizens of our country.’ This is what recently deceased, former apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell told Podesta in one email. That the government had been hiding the truth for at least 50 years.

Mitchell also wrote to Podesta, “Remember, our nonviolent ETI from the contiguous universe are helping us bring zero point energy to Earth. They will not tolerate any forms of military violence on Earth or in space.”

Mitchell had also told Dateline ABC in 1996, that he had personally met with representatives of other countries who said that they had encountered aliens. Mitchell also said that aliens were giving technology to the US government. He further disclosed that the American government had been conducting experiments on alien bodies, but had stopped after President John F. Kennedy wanted to know more and disclose this truth to the public. Mitchell also revealed that aliens had been visiting us for sometime, were much more advanced than us, and that we would have been destroyed a long time ago if they were hostile. (Source)

Interestingly, scientists just revealed that aliens may be so much more advanced than us, that they cannot even tell the difference between an alien and the advanced laws of physics. Aliens might exist as beings so far beyond our understanding, that they disappear into the fabric of space/time.

As it turns out, our own government, let alone aliens, might be so far advanced, that we can’t even tell when a disclosure narrative is being leaked, or if it is being controlled by individuals either off-planet or simply by a military industrial complex which stands to gain far too much by keeping us in the dark.

No matter the level of advancement of an alien civilization, the Podesta Wikileaks dumps also suggest that Area 51 may well be an alien embassy where some extraterrestrials meet with our government officials to carry out intergalactic business – but this is denied. Boyd Bushman a retired senior scientist for Lockheed Martin, admits as much.

The Area 51 details and other alien secrets were hinted at between emails from rock singer, Tom DeLonge, and Podesta, discussing a disclosure program that DeLonge was arranging to include key contractors and government officials, including Dr. Neil McCasland, the former Commander for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Major General Michael J. Carey, USAF. The Special Assistant to the Commander, Air Force Space Command, Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, and Robert F. Weiss, the Executive Vice President and General Manager of Aeronautics Advanced Development Programs, Lockheed Martin Corporation.

DeLonge said in a recent Instagram address, “Wikileaks messed some important stuff up,” but continued to say, “things just got bigger.”

Another interesting bit of information in the Wikileaks dump includes email correspondence between Podesta, DeLonge, and Robert Weiss of Lockheed Skunkworks. Lockheed has long been thought to be back-engineering alien technology, including craft.

Ben Rich, Lockheed’s former CEO admitted on his deathbed that UFOs were real, and that military personnel were already travelling among the stars. Specifically Rich stated,

“We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects, and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do.”

“We now have the technology to take ET home. No, it won’t take someone’s lifetime to do it. There is an error in the equations. We know what it is. We now have the capability to travel to the stars. First, you have to understand that we will not get to the stars using chemical propulsion. Second, we have to devise a new propulsion technology. What we have to do is find out where Einstein went wrong.”

Moreover, even religious figures have told us more than what are in the Wikileaks emails. The Vatican’s acceptance of aliens was made public when the president of the Vatican Observatory Foundation confirmed that it is only a matter of time before alien life forms are discovered.

When we add these facts to recent interviews by congress and senate members which took place at a congressional-style hearing, a full disclosure scenario starts to look inevitable, but that isn’t what is happening now, at least so far.

Former Senator of Alaska, Mike Gravel tells us that the government is hiding the Galactic Federation of Light from citizens. He attests that thousands of military personnel had to sign non-disclosure agreements about sightings, Area 51, and other important extraterrestrial events:

Congresswoman, Lynn Woolsey recently posed the question, “Is the ET cover up due to plans to arm space?” She discusses incidences where aliens have shut down nuclear weapons when they needed to to protect the human race.

Dr. Brian O’Leary a former Princeton Physics Professor, and NASA astronaut has also revealed much more than Assange’s Wikileaks dumps.

Then there is the research of individuals like Command Sergeant Major, Robert Dean, is a well-known UFO researcher involved in alien studies for over 40 years who served at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), as well as NATO as an intelligence analyst with a Cosmic Top Secret clearance. While on this assignment, he helped move the headquarters to the new site in Belgium. Dean worked in the Operations Division and was a member of the inner Command Staff thereby working with and seeing the SACEUR (Supreme Allied Commander Europe) almost daily. It was while he was stationed at SHAPE that Robert’s interest in UFOs first started.
One night, while on duty, Robert removed a file from SHAPE’s security vault called “The Assessment” – An Evaluation of Possible Military Threat to Allied Forces in Europe”. The file was marked Cosmic Top Secret and revealed the truth about aliens and UFOs. He is the only person who has successfully sued the US Government over UFOs.

Dean has researched numerous UFO sightings, and put forth testimony by Admirals, high-ranking Air Force officers, and others’ testimony it would be difficult to ignore. Perhaps, most famously, he revealed to the public, a crashed UFO which was downed in Russia, with very explicit pictures.

So, do we believe the latest email dumps? Sure – they aren’t telling us anything new. It’s even more interesting why there’s so much fuss over them when you consider that Julian Assange talked about UFO cults more than five years ago, describing one cult as the Raelians, whose beliefs mix religion, sex, pseudo-science and alien mythology.

State Department officials in Canada had expressed concern over the group’s influence there, citing a 2002 incident when the group falsely claimed to have cloned humans, but this forewarning aside, Assange also admits that there are references to aliens in “cablegate,” though “they are only small and passing in reference.” It is also interesting to note that Assange, though linked to the latest Wikileaks dumps, once called 9-11 Truthers, “paranoiacs.”

The former NASA Astronaut, Edgar Mitchell’s handful of emails to Podesta are perhaps the most telling of all.

A message, dated 18 January 2015, reads:

Subject: email for John Podesta (c/o Eryn) from Edgar Mitchel re meeting ASAP

Dear John,

As 2015 unfolds, I understand you are leaving the Administration in February.

It is urgent that we agree on a date and time to meet to discuss Disclosure and Zero Point Energy, at your earliest available after your departure.

My Catholic colleague Terri Mansfield will be there too, to bring us up to date on the Vatican’s awareness of ETI [extraterrestrial intelligence].

Another colleague is working on a new Space Treaty, citing involvement with Russia and China. However with Russia’s extreme interference in Ukraine, I believe we must pursue another route for peace in space and ZPE on Earth.

I met with President Obama’s Honolulu childhood friend, US Ambassador Pamela Hamamoto on July 4 at the US Mission in Geneva, when I was able to tell her briefly about zero point energy.

I believe we can enlist her as a confidante and resource in our presentation for President Obama.

I appreciate Eryn’s assistance in working with Terri to set up our meeting.

Best regards,
Edgar D. Mitchell, ScD
Chief Science Officer & Founder, Quantrek
Apollo 14 astronaut
6th man to walk on the Moon

The second message, dated 18 August 2015, includes a brief introduction and links to articles that primarily discussed the militarization of space:

Subject: email for John Podesta c/o Eryn re Space Treaty (attached)

Dear John,

Because the War in Space race is heating up, I felt you should be aware of several factors as you and I schedule our Skype talk.

Remember, our nonviolent ETI from the contiguous universe are helping us bring zero point energy to Earth. They will not tolerate any forms of military violence on Earth or in space.

The following information in italics was shared with me by my colleague Carol Rosin, who worked closely for several years with Wernher von Braun before his death.

Carol and I have worked on the Treaty on the Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space, attached for your convenience.

Best regards,
Edgar

Edgar D. Mitchell, ScD
Chief Science Officer & Founder, Quantrek
Apollo 14 astronaut
6th man to walk on the Moon

Mitchell made these assertions many times.  In a 2009 interview with the Guardian he stated:

“We are being visited,” [Mitchell] said. “It is now time to put away this embargo of truth about the alien presence. I call upon our government to open up … and become a part of this planetary community that is now trying to take our proper role as a spacefaring civilization.”

Wikileaks tells us nothing new. No classified documents are mentioned, no change in UFO news we haven’t already been well aware of for decades is revealed. These are not revelatory disclosures, but they just might lead to full disclosure after-all. Are they meant to test public acceptance of the topic? Are they meant to give weight to the testimony of numerous NASA scientists, astronauts, high-ranking military officials, and researchers? The truth will reveal itself eventually, but thus far, we are still being led by our noses with a carrot on the end of a stick.

EU’s Smallest Nation Is Its First To Completely Ban Monsanto’s Toxic Glyphosate

NoFakeNews

Alex Pietrowski, Staff Writer
Waking Times

The European Union’s smallest member country, Malta, has officially begun the process of completely banning Monsanto’s toxic glyphosate from the 122 square mile island nation in the Mediterranean Sea. Labeled a ‘probable carcinogenic’ by the World Health Organization, controversy over the use of glyphosate, a primary ingredient in the popular gardening product RoundUp, is a globally contentious issue, yet very few nation states have sided with precautionary reasoning when considering the continued use of this toxic herbicide and crop desiccant.

Usage of glyphosate is soaring worldwide, even in the face of vast expert and personal testimony that confers upon the risks to public health of its usage in industrial agriculture and in small-scale farms and gardens. In addition to being suspected of causing cancer under certain conditions, glyphosate has been linked to many other serious and chronic health problems, such as autoimmune disorders, liver poisoning, autism, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, inflammatory bowel disease and other chronic illnesses.

Furthermore glyphosate is severely disruptive to the gut microbiome of the human body, which is now being understood as a ‘second brain,’ responsible in major ways for regulating mood, the emotional body, our immune system, and influencing mental health conditions like depression.

“Glyphosate is such an effective killer because it gets into plants and prevents them from taking up their normal nutrients – thus starving them to death. Glyphosate depletes micronutrients(such as calcium, zinc, magnesium, sulfur and cobalt, just to name a few) which are essential for health in plant and animal organisms. Specifically, glyphosate interferes with the shikimate pathway, a metabolic function in plants which allows them to create essential amino acids or proteins. Without this pathway functioning properly, the plant cannot survive.

Although animals and humans don’t have a shikimate pathway, here comes the glyphosate problem: the bacteria in our gut (microbiome or microbiota) do have this pathway, and we are reliant upon this microbiome in our gut for our health, immunity and our “second brain”. When we allow glyphosate to infiltrate our system, it destroys our gut and subsequently our immune system.” [Source]

Additionally, it is widely known that misuse, abuse and overuse of agrichemicals such as glyphosate is a common international problem, as is highlighted in the case of Argentina, where agrochemicals are causing widespread and terrifying health problems for citizens, especially those living close to farms and agricultural facilities in rural areas.

With such an overwhelming body of evidence linking so many health issues to this chemical, it would stand to reason that governments around the world should err on the side of caution, which is a point also made by Malta’s environment minister.

“Environment Minister José Herrera has said that Malta’s opposition to glyphosate is based on the precautionary principle, which states that potentially hazardous protects should not be used unless they can be proven safe.” [Source]

France may be next in considering an outright national ban on glyphosate, indicating that we may be on the brink of triggering a global domino effect, hopefully allowing consumer and public concern to be recognized above the interests of multi-national corporations. If the political will to ban the risky chemical can be mustered by one nation, it can be mustered by any nation.

“The decision shows courage from government’s side as it chose to listen to the concerns of experts and individuals who have demanded that our fields, streets and gardens would be free from this risky weed killer.” [Source]

For a comprehensive look at the risks involved with the use of glyphosate, please visit our database on this critical public health issue, here. Watch this telling interview with a Monsanto lobbyist who makes the claim that glyphosate is safe to drink, but refuses to do so when offered the chance, saying, “I am not an idiot.”

6 Reasons Why Most Scientific Research is Fake, False or Fraudulent

Gina Flores

Test Tubes Fake ScienceChristina Sarich, Staff
Waking Times 

How often do scientists smugly quote the latest research on a topic only later to be made the fool by insider revelations that published research in peer-reviewed journals is abjectly false? This happens so frequently now, that it has become clear: Science is broken, and most scientific research is fraudulent.

It isn’t broken like a bike needing a new tire, or even an outdated paradigm that has reached its tipping point, as in the time of the renaissance. Modern science is broken for reasons that might shock you.

First, there’s a replication crisis. More and more studies simply cannot be replicated, so any false theories are not thrown out, but left floating as acceptable ‘fact’ in the hallowed scientific ethers, when they are nothing more than studies paid for and promoted by the companies who have a marked interest in proving their personal hypothesis.

Take for example a recent review of 67 blockbuster drug discovery research findings published in prestigious journals.  A review of the studies found that three-fourths of them weren’t right. Bayer simply couldn’t replicate findings that were published in more than 75 percent of their drug trials. Another study of cancer research found that only 11 percent of preclinical cancer research could be reproduced – but the problem isn’t just in the pharmaceutical industry.

Even in physics, supposedly the most complex and most reliable of all sciences, two of the most flaunted physics results of the past few years — the announced discovery of both cosmic inflation and gravitational waves at the BICEP2 experiment in Antarctica, as well as the supposed discovery of superluminal neutrinos at the Swiss-Italian border — have now been retracted.

Why the gross negligence in a field that has been heralded as sacrosanct? The errors in science have been due to simple arithmetic miscalculations or excel spreadsheet mistakes, but they are also due to industry greed and outright fraud.

Science has even discredited itself – in one study meant to hoodwink the very prestigious British Medical Journal, a paper with eight major errors was submitted. Not a single one of the 221 scientists who reviewed the paper caught all the errors in it, and only 30 percent of reviewers recommended that the paper be rejected.

Second, scientists can manipulate data almost any way they deem fit. Data can be excluded, included and re-arranged to support the presupposition of any scientist.

Third, the scientific community doesn’t listen to women, young people, or those whose ideas go against the current scientific dogma. The greatest scientific pioneers were once weirdoes with wiry glasses and grandiose ideas that they set out to prove with the scientific method. Now, we have an aged scientific population, that is mostly white and male, worried about getting tenure at their institutions or that have been lobbied directly by pharmaceutical and biotech industries to promote a certain plan that affects our entire sociological structure.

Next, its all about the fame and money. These two things alone kill objectivity. Industry-funded studies completely ignore conflict of interest and skew any possible hope for real scientific results. This is why institutions like the FDA, supposedly founded on scientific study, are a complete fraud.

Finally, its about the social pandering to guys in white lab coats. We’ve made scientists Gods while ignoring that they are people with greed, lust for power, and other very human traits.

There aren’t just cracks in the current scientific community, there are gapping gulches that need to be addressed. William A Wilson writes:

Even if self-correction does occur and theories move strictly along a lifecycle from less to more accurate, what if the unremitting flood of new, mostly false, results pours in faster? Too fast for the sclerotic, compromised truth-discerning mechanisms of science to operate? The result could be a growing body of true theories completely overwhelmed by an ever-larger thicket of baseless theories, such that the proportion of true scientific beliefs shrinks even while the absolute number of them continues to rise. Borges’ Library of Babel contained every true book that could ever be written, but it was useless because it also contained every false book, and both true and false were lost within an ocean of nonsense. [First Things] 

Skeptic of science, Michael Shermer, says that science is “a set of methods designed to describe and interpret observed or inferred phenomena, past or present, aimed at building a testable body of knowledge open to rejection or confirmation.”

Science is modifiable and falsifiable, just like religion. So why have we made it the modern day, untouchable dogma? We can’t treat beliefs as facts, but when science is broken we do. How do we trust science again when it is so shattered? Perhaps its time to trust our guts again, and not every testimony given in the latest scientific journal.

The Reason Why Diet and Exercise Don’t Work Like They Used To

Gina Flores1 Comment

Alex Pietrowski, Staff
Waking Times

There is a good reason why diet and exercise don’t work like they used to, and that’s because food is not at all what it used to be.

Ninety percent of grocery store shelf space is dedicated to processed foods, developed by food companies who compete against each other for ‘stomach space,’ the industry term for the market share of product food companies can push down consumers’ throats. The foods most widely available in our culture are scientifically engineered to create physical and psychological dependency, and in the last couple of decades our cultural eating habits have been socially re-engineered to include endless mindless eating of industrialized junk food.

Perfectly Engineered Food

Perfectly engineered food is serious business, and as Michael Moss, author of Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us, points out, companies like Nestle, Pillsbury, Kraft, Nabisco, General Mills, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola and Mars, employ absolutely everything at their disposal to get people to not only like their products, but to crave more and more of them.

In a recent interview with National Public Radio, he offers an insider’s look into how this these corporations go about creating the most effective food products they can develop. He describes what the industry calls the ‘bliss point,’ the magical sweet spot between salt, sugar and fat that will give their products the highest allure, thereby generating the greatest possible sales, and the highest number of loyal, repeat customers.

Here, he describes how the process of developing a hit product using an example from the Dr. Pepper corporation:

“They would hire people like Howard Moskowitz, trained in high math at Queens College and experimental psychology at Harvard. Howard was one of the people responsible for some of the biggest icons in the grocery store.

For example, he walked me through his recent creation of a new soda flavor for Dr. Pepper. … He started with no less than 59 variations of sweetness, each one slightly different than the next, subjected those to 3,000 taste tests around the country, did his high math regression analysis thing, put the data in the computer. And out comes this bell-shaped curve where the perfect amount of sweetness — not too little, not too much — is at the very top of the curve.

And it’s Howard who coined the expression “bliss point” to capture that perfect amount of sweetness that would send us over the moon, their products flying off the shelf.” [Source]

This strategy works extremely well, and because sugar is naturally so desirable to human beings, even products you wouldn’t think needed any sugar at all are being loaded with sweeteners in order to boost their appeal, including many well-known foods that never used to be sweet at all.

“It’s not that they engineer bliss points for sweetness in things like soda, ice cream, cookies — things we know and expect to be sweet. The food companies have marched around the grocery store adding sweetness, engineering bliss points to products that didn’t used to be sweet. So now bread has added sugar and a bliss point for sweetness. Yogurt can be as sweet as ice cream for some brands. And pasta sauce — my gosh, there are some brands with the equivalent of sugar from a couple of Oreo cookies in one half-cup serving.

And what this does, nutritionists say, is create this expectation in us that everything should be sweet. And this is especially difficult for kids who are hard-wired to the sweet taste. So when you drag their little butts over to the produce aisle and try to get them to eat some of that stuff we all should be eating more of — Brussels sprouts and broccoli, which have some of the other basic tastes like sour and bitter — you get a rebellion on your hands.” [Source]

Re-engineering and re-branding food has worked extremely well to completely change the cultural landscape of our relationship to food, and to completely rewire our expectations about eating. Something major shifted a couple of decades ago, and now people no longer have any compunction about eating all the time, even during other activities, and some foods are deliberately designed to be eaten from one hand while doing something else with the other.

“There are experts who say there was a day in the 1980’s when suddenly it became socially acceptable to eat anything anywhere anytime. Thats when you saw Parents stop telling their kids not to snack between meals. Snacking became the 4th American meal, and that played right into the hands of the food companies.” [Source]

The food industry is also lowering the quality of sweeteners and fats, and are substituting a variety of sweeteners to replace more expensive sugars, and playing tricks with how these products are labeled so the consumer has no idea what they are eating. Products labeled as ‘diet’ are often more much dangerous to health than natural ingredients and typical calorie loads.

“Food producers have many tactics for hiding food ingredients which have become unpopular with consumers, and such has happened to high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) following numerous scientific studies that have linked it to obesity, Type 2 diabetes and autism. In order to stop using the HFCS name in the ingredients list, food makers have taken to calling a sub-category of HFCS as “fructose syrup” or, plainly, “fructose”.

HFCS is a highly-processed chemical sweetener used in many processed foods, including breads, cookies, candy, condiments, and soft drinks. HFCS extends the shelf life of products, and it is often cheaper than sugar, which are the main reasons why manufacturers like it. But HFCS has gotten a bad rep, considering the circumstantial evidence that links it to various metabolic diseases, so Big Food and the Corn Refiners Association (CRA) decided to get creative.” [Source]

The health problems associated with a diet rich in highly caloric, chemical-laden, scientifically engineered and addictive foods are becoming more obvious now than ever before. Even some of the top players in the food industry have had to admit the truth about the growing epidemics of obesity, diabetes and other chronic illness related to the overconsumption of processed foods.

Junk Food

Speaking to an auditorium of high-powered food industry executives in 2013, Micheal Mudd, vice president of Kraft Foods presented information on the statistics surrounding food and public health.

“As he spoke, Mudd clicked through a deck of slides — 114 in all — projected on a large screen behind him. The figures were staggering. More than half of American adults were now considered overweight, with nearly one-quarter of the adult population — 40 million people — clinically defined as obese. Among children, the rates had more than doubled since 1980, and the number of kids considered obese had shot past 12 million. (This was still only 1999; the nation’s obesity rates would climb much higher.) Food manufacturers were now being blamed for the problem from all sides — academia, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society. The secretary of agriculture, over whom the industry had long held sway, had recently called obesity a “national epidemic.”” [Source]

Salt, sugar and fat, the three horseman of the food apocalypse, and the go to ingredients for food engineers in search of increased product sales and brand-loyal customers who cannot physically resist these foods. Breaking the spell of processed foods is easier now than ever, though, and consumers are affecting the decisions of these corporations by changing their buying habits.

Earth as an Alien Enterprise

“The tendency towards psychological collectivism does not have man’s welfare as its end. It is designed for his exploitation.”  – Jacques Ellul

As you surely know by now, your online behavior, from banking to shopping, to searching for anything including health and financial information, even your cell phone usage is, “…fed into databases and assembled into profiles of unprecedented depth and specificity.” [Pasquale]

This information is then sold to companies you know nothing about and used to market to you, to evaluate your potential to get a job, a mortgage, a loan, a rental, and many other dreams you may have that could be denied to you because of collected data you know nothing about.

There is no such thing as a ‘free’ App — all Apps are Trojan Horses. We now live in the Internet, the algo-matrix… like it or not, and the tyranny of massive data collection is upon us.

Now is the time for us to rethink our euphoria with technology. 

As law professor and author Frank Pasquale notes, Silicon Valley’s top managers are not great sages to be trusted— in fact, they “hide behind corporate operations so covert that their actual contributions are hard to assess… why all the secrecy?” His book, The Black Box Society, The Secret Algorithms That Control Money and Information, asks why secrecy is so important in the ‘black box’ takeover of society.

Perhaps the most egregious example of this is in the area of finance. Algorithms have expanded exponentially into every aspect of banking, bonds and stock markets, with ever increasing mazes of derivatives, collateralized debt obligations, CDO’s, now in the trillions of dollars. Humans no longer trade in global markets, as algorithms move stocks, commodities, and currencies around the planet in seconds. HFT, high frequency trading, is a ubiquitous form of high-tech front-running. Actual people don’t stand a chance.

A ‘flash-crash’ can take markets down a thousand points in a few seconds. Bots, mysteriously called ‘dark pools,’ are “artificially intelligent systems that execute trades in milliseconds and use the cover of darkness to outmaneuver their creators, ultimately hijacking the global markets from human control and pushing the entire system toward a global meltdown that could happen in seconds.” [S. Patterson]

The Greed Algorithm

The algorithms are constantly being refined and expanded to further invade every aspect of our lives, therefore, there can be no ‘transparency,’ as regulators struggle to even understand an ever-changing field created by minds digitally oriented and advanced far-beyond most. The private companies and corporations pay these digital geniuses far more money than possible for the government agencies that are supposed to protect the public, luring the best minds away from the regulatory sector with hugely obscene salaries.

The innovators run the game and everyone else, including regulators, are clueless, in the dark, and vulnerable. As Pasquale says, “Secret algorithms — obscured by a triple layer of technical complexity, secrecy, and ‘economic espionage’ laws that can land would-be whistle-blowers in prison — still prevent us from understanding what is truly going on in many major financial firms.”

The ET Connection

The rapid rise and implementation of technology like this for largely evil ends doesn’t add up unless you broaden your perspective a bit.

The Hopi Indians have told the story of how more evolved Extra-Terrestrials, ET’s, once offered earth governments technology that could clean up the planet and help us advance into a partnership with the rest of the galaxy, the Confederation, or the Galactic Federation. In return, we would have to give up nuclear weapons, nuclear energy, and all nuclear research. Our military, afraid of the ET’s, turned them down.

Then, the story goes, that another group of ET’s approached earth governments with offers of more advanced technologies – without the request that we give up our pursuit of nuclear anything. In return, alien abductions of humans for their hybridization programs were allowed.

When you bring Extra Terrestrials, ET’s, into the picture, the present situation makes more sense. After Hiroshima, ET’s began showing up more frequently, especially in the USA. Out-of-control radiation is considered by ET’s to be unacceptably perilous to all life, and they were intervening so that the humans would not irrevocably damage their planet, the solar system, or beyond.

These less evolved ET’s began to give world governments technologies within certain limits and planet earth went from an industrial era with machines and assembly lines, to silicon chips, fiber optics, computers, Apps, robotics, drones, artificial intelligence, AI, and we know not what else, all in the span of a single lifetime.

The advances in technology since the 1940’s are beyond exponential. They are flat out unbelievable. How long did it take us to invent the wheel? How, then, could we achieve all of this in such a short time frame?

What They’re Hiding… The Breakaway Civilization

The people who have access to secret technology are way ahead of the rest of us. They are the ‘Breakaway Civilization,’ and “secret algorithms — obscured by a triple layer of technical complexity, secrecy, and ‘economic espionage’ laws that can land would-be whistle-blowers in prison still prevent us from understanding.” [Pasquale]

We have little to no comprehension of the veiled, secretive world we are now forced to inhabit. The people with ‘access’ are the owners, controllers and financiers behind these technologies that emerged out of the ET ‘deal,’ and they have become obsessed with their own power. Pasquale reports CEO Eric Schmidt of Google saying he wants Google users the be able to ask it, ‘What shall I do tomorrow?,’ and ‘What job shall I take?’ This is beyond creepy and moving into the domain of a totalitarian invasion of the human heart and psyche.

“What concerns me is when these projects go ‘beyond black’; people with ulterior motives that have gotten in control of these projects and/or the funding for them, and/or the ability of what is really scary, to write unlimited checks with no recourse to anybody…it becomes evident that they have agendas that are independent of the United States. And the attitude is seemingly one of control — power and control.” – Former U.S. Air Force computer operations and programming specialist, William J. Pawelec. [T. Good, EARTH an Alien Enterprise, The Shocking Truth Behind the Greatest Cover-up in Human History]

The power to obfuscate these technologies, to use them for individual profit, to manipulate people, markets, global finance – this kind of power has never been seen on our planet in written history, some 6000+ years. This extreme power has made the elite insane with greed. Only insane men and woman would destroy the middle class, a necessity for a successful democracy and culture, and initiate the largest transference of wealth in history, confiscating 90% of the wealth of the planet for themselves, the 1%.


That’s madness.

They are building a technological Superclass, “…an international upper class of people whose economic interests had more in common with each other than with the majority of people who share their nationality. [D. Rothkopf]” Nation states are finished. It’s a global corporate state in their eyes.

The men and women who wield the power of these secret technologies are now taking over the planet under the guise of what is called ‘globalization,’ which is supposed to benefit mankind. However, globalization “undercuts many national and local power structures and cultural concepts that have foundations deep in the bedrock of human civilization, namely the notion of sovereignty.” [D. Rothkopf]

Take the Trans Pacific Partnership, the TPP, as proof. No one is allowed to read this trade agreement, which shouldn’t even be called a ‘trade’ agreement, because the TPP is “a corporate/investor rights agreement… that extends patents, copyrights and other monopolies so investors can collect ‘rents’ (and) elevates corporations and corporate profits above the level of government.” [Common Dreams] You can be sued for breaking corporate laws you know nothing about.

We are watching our lives and the future being turned over to a global technological corporate authoritarian empire that secretly tracks us every second of the day in vast databases stored around the planet – our home planet – that is being polluted and poisoned as global corporations suck its resources dry. Our techno-overlords have seduced us into a hypnotic complacency, and we are spinning out our own spiders web that entangles our consciousness, awareness and intelligence… a stealth ‘net’ that enslaves us to an invisible elite.

The bizarre level of control that has emerged, was nearly impossible to foresee even just 20 years ago.

What Can We Do? The Key to Liberation

There are many brave men and women speaking out, working to expose the tsunami of multiple layers of lies, propaganda, grand illusions and fraudulent delusions that we are being force fed.

Frankly, though, it is difficult to envision a way to win, to overwhelm them with any known human force, so, we turn to the ideas of Enlightenment and Liberation that are found in ancient wisdom. From the Sanskrit Upanishads:

Even the gods [any other dimensional beings] cannot prevent his becoming this, for he has become their Self. …if a man worships another deity thinking: He is one and I am another, he  does not know.

He [who does not know] is like a sacrificial animal to the gods. As many animals serve a man, so does each man serve the gods. Even if one animal is taken away, it causes anguish to the owner; how much more so when many are taken away!

Therefore it is not pleasing to the gods that men should know this [that they are the One].

– Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, I.iv.10

The wisdom in these lines holds the Key.

What happens metaphysically when you bow-down to worship any ‘other’ is that you in fact give whatever you worship, in the external illusory hologram, your energy. You might say you give them ‘permission’ to take your energy and will. Whoever worships another – meaning any other being on this earth, or any being from the myriad denizens of the Invisible Realms, the gods, angels, or ET’s – his energy becomes ‘sacrificial’ food for that entity. They are indeed giving their own power away to another.

Our entry into the rest of the universe, the end of Earth’s so-called ‘quarantine’ and centuries of the miserable rule of tyrants lay in our realization of the Oneness of All and of our inter-connectedness with the Woven Universe. As more of us begin to understand that everything and everyone, every man, woman & child, and every being in the universe is God, we increase our chances of being able to shake off these insane greedy tyrants, like the fleas that they are, without firing a shot.

The revolution has to take place within each of us as a change in our consciousness. The Truth does set you free.
