Health - Who Wants An Asthma Cure?

Who Wants An Asthma Cure? 


  
I was out to breakfast with a friend recently and she showed me pictures
of her 3 year-old niece.

I said that she was adorable, and my friend said, "Yes, she is. But I feel so bad for her. They just found out she has asthma, poor thing."
Unfortunately, illnesses like this in young children are WAY too common these days.
Asthma has become one of the most common chronic diseases in children. According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, asthma affects over 9 million children in the US alone.
But it seems EVERYONE is getting it. It's becoming as common as a sore throat, for heaven's sake.
From 1980 to 1995, adult-onset asthma rates in the US for adults between the ages of 35 and 64 increased over 60%. And it's not showing any signs of slowing down.
The CDC has reported that asthma cases among adults grew by 4.3 million from 2001 to 2009!
Adult onset asthma is more difficult to diagnose than asthma in kids because many adults have other underlying medical conditions (heart problems, acid reflux, emphysema) that may cause similar symptoms.
But regardless of whether it's in a child or adult, the question remains:
Why?
Why are SO many adults and kids getting asthma these days?
Well, here are 3 possibilities.
I call them "The 3 Asthma Culprits"
 

Asthma culprit #1- Imbalanced gut microflora
Studies show one of the culprits behind the sharp rise in asthma lies not in the lungs, but in the gut.
Scientists have been studying the relationship between the beneficial and harmful bacteria in your gut and asthma symptoms, and their research shows a BIG connection.
Here's why:
Asthma is an inflammatory condition.
Normally, your airways shouldn't get inflamed when they're exposed to things like harmless environmental organisms and changes in the temperature.
But in people with asthma, that's precisely what happens.
What that means is their body's anti-inflammatory mechanism isn't working properly.
Now, beneficial bacteria in the gut (probiotics) help your immune system develop helpful cells called regulatory T cells. These are white blood cells that travel all through your body and reduce inflammation...kind of like a fire fighter putting out fires.
So if someone doesn't have enough probiotic bacteria in their system, their level of helpful T cells goes down. This makes them more likely to experience inflammatory responses that they normally should not have, including asthmatic responses.
In addition, numerous studies have been performed that show the development of asthma follows very closely with decreases in the population of probiotics in the guts of the people studied.
 

Asthma culprit #2- Lack of antioxidants
Oh, the wrath of the typical fast food, processed food and soda diet continues to grow.
Add asthma on to the list of ways these so-called "foods" violate your health.
First and foremost, "foods" like these feed the harmful bacteria in your gut (while starving the good guys). This can encourage asthma symptoms through the gut connection mentioned in number 1 above.
In addition, these so-called foods are completely lacking the naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and antioxidants found in real foods.
And that, my friend, can cost you from head to toe and in your lungs.
Studies show that people who eat foods higher in Vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, flavonoids, magnesium and selenium have lower rates of asthma. Many of these substances are antioxidants, which protect your cells from damage and inflammation.
One recent study of asthma and diet showed that teens with poor nutrition were more likely to have asthma symptoms. Those who didn't get enough fruits and vegetables were the most likely to have poor lung function.
On the flip side, a 2007 study showed that children who grew up eating a Mediterranean type diet (which is high in nuts and foods like grapes, apples and tomatoes) were FAR LESS likely to have asthma symptoms.
But here's an important point: The studies also showed that supplementing with vitamins and minerals did not have the same protective effect against asthma that eating the natural food sources of nutrients had.
In other words: Your nutrients should NOT come from a pill. Your body knows the difference.
 

Asthma culprit #3- Lack of Omega-3 essential fatty acids
Not only are our diets grossly deficient in nutrients and antioxidants like I mentioned in number 2 above, but we're not getting the Omega-3 essential fatty acids that we need either.
Omega-3 essential fatty acids are one of your body's natural anti-inflammatory agents...and since asthma is an inflammatory process, that's not good.
Adding to that is the fact that the typical modern diet is LOADED with inflammation-causing Omega-6 EFAs, which studies suggest may WORSEN asthma symptoms.
 

So what can you do? Fight the 3 asthma culprits of course!
If you or someone you love suffers from asthma, let me be the bearer of good news: You can safely and naturally get relief from asthma.
Without the dangerous side effects of medications!
Here's how you can help fight the 3 asthma culprits:
1- Take a top shelf probiotic supplement
Probiotics help with asthma naturally from within...encouraging your body to learn to react more normally to environmental factors without an inflammatory response.
Super Shield multi-strain probiotic formula was designed with asthma sufferers in mind.
Super Shield contains Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium lactis, both of which have been heavily studied and shown to be helpful to asthma and eczema sufferers.
Plus, Super Shield's 11 other strains work synergistically with L. rhamnosus and B. lactis to strengthen your immune system and encourage the development of more inflammation-fighting T cells.
In addition, Super Shield can help encourage better digestion and proper nutrient absorption...so you have a better chance of absorbing whatever vitamins, minerals and protective antioxidants you get in your diet.
Learn all the ways Super Shield can help you here.
 

2- Eat foods that digest & absorb efficiently
There's no getting around it--in order to have any degree of good health (including healthy lungs), you MUST get the nutrients and antioxidants your body needs from REAL foods.
And part 2 of that is your digestion must be efficient in order to actually ABSORB those vital nutrients!
And if all that sounds about as exciting to you as watching paint dry, not to worry.
I can help you achieve both of those goals (and love every bite) with the Great Taste No Pain system or if you're gluten-challenged, Great Taste No Gluten.
Both Great Taste No Pain and Great Taste No Gluten show you what foods to eat (and what foods to pair together) to keep digestion smooth and nutrient absorption high.
Plus, they're loaded with delicious ideas featuring real foods that you'll absolutely LOVE -- there are no bland or boring dishes in my recipe books! I challenge anyone to find a dish in these books that isn't among the best -- if not THE best -- tasting food they've ever eaten in the respective categories.
 

3- Supplement with Omega-3 essential fatty acids
The Omega-6 and Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) in your body work to stir up and then reduce inflammation.
You see, Omega-6 EFAs activate your body's defense mechanisms like blood clotting, inflammation and allergic reactions, and you need those during emergencies such as when you sustain an injury or ingest something dangerous.
Then when the "emergency" is over, Omega-3 EFAs come in and cool down inflammation, produce calmness in your nervous system and reduce cholesterol and clotting in the blood.
This system works perfectly as long as you have about a 5:1 ratio of Omega-6:Omega-3 EFAs in your body.
But the typical American has truckloads of inflammation-causing Omega-6 fatty acids in our acid-forming diets but not nearly enough Omega-3s, causing our ratios to skyrocket to 20:1 or higher.
And we have the inflammatory conditions (including asthma) to prove it!
But you can help reduce inflammation dramatically and fight asthma by replenishing your Omega-3 supply with a top flight fish oil formula like VitalMega-3.
Just 2 capsules a day gives you a full 1,000 mg. each of the necessary Omega-3 essential fatty acids (known as EPA and DHA), which is the dose that has been recommended by experts to help bring your Omega EFAs into a more proper balance.
 

Asthma is making life miserable for increasing numbers of people, but that doesn't mean that you're completely defenseless against it.
When you give your body the help it needs from within and fight the 3 asthma culprits, you could be breathing a whole lot easier.
And possibly needing less or no medication at all!
Wouldn't THAT be nice?
To your health,

PPS: Frances is off her asthma meds and then some!

Sherry,
I have to share with you my latest blood work results. You can share them if you want.
Not only have I been able to manage my heartburn, but also my asthma and now my cholesterol. My cholesterol level went from 199 to 159 within 3 months! The doctor took me off simvastatin and will watch it over the next few months.
So, I'm off the purple pill, the asthma medicine, and the cholesterol drugs.
Besides that, my weight is holding steady at 130 and I feel great. The only medications I am on is thyroid. Not bad for 67!
All I need now is to get off my lazy butt and pump up the exercise!
Thanks for all your help.
Frances

OUR NATION'S REAL ROOTS ARE IN THE BIBLE


Subj: OUR NATION'S REAL ROOTS ARE IN THE BIBLE

(A bit lengthy, but well worth the read.)

REMEMBER GEORGE SOROS IS AN ATHEIST AND ONE OF OBAMA'S GREATEST SUPPORTERS. AS ONE OF THE RICHEST MEN IN THE WORLD, HIS GOAL IS TO DESTROY AMERICA . HE IS ALSO A PARTNER IN DISRUPTING OUR 2012 ELECTION RETURNS, BY BUYING INTO THE COMPANY WHO COUNTS THE VOTES. THEY WANT TO KEEP THIS QUIET; LET'S SHOUT IT TO THE WORLD, WHILE WE ARE STILL A NATION!!!

Please take a few minutes to read this message and Almighty God Bless You.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:6-8[a] NIV

Shame we have lost these words....

OUR NATIONS REAL ROOTS ARE IN THE BIBLE:

(This is one e-mail that needs to be shared. But then, we may already be too late. Let's hope NOT. God help us!!!)

Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of The Declaration of Independence were orthodox, deeply committed Christians? The other three all believed in the Bible as the divine truth, the God of scripture, and His personal intervention.
It is the same congress that formed the American Bible Society. Immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of scripture for the people of this nation.

Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words, 'Give me liberty or give me death.' But in current textbooks the context of these words is deleted. Here is what he said:
'An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle sir, is not of the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death'.

These sentences have been erased from our textbooks.

Was Patrick Henry a Christian? The following year, 1776, he wrote this 'It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here'.

Consider these words that Thomas Jefferson wrote on the front of his well- worn Bible: 'I am a Christian, that is to say a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our Creator and, I hope, to the pure doctrine of Jesus also'.

Consider these words from George Washington, the Father of our Nation, in his farewell speech on September 19, 1796:
'It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible. Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, our religion and morality are the indispensable supporters. Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that our national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle'.

Was George Washington a Christian? Consider these words from his personal prayer book: 'Oh, eternal and everlasting God, direct my thoughts, words and work. Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the lamb and purge my heart by the Holy Spirit. Daily, frame me more and more in the likeness of thy son, Jesus Christ, that living in thy fear, and dying in thy favor, I may in thy appointed time obtain the resurrection of the justified unto eternal life. Bless, O Lord, the whole race of mankind and let the world be filled with the knowledge of thy son, Jesus Christ'.

Consider these words by John Adams, our second president, who also served as chairman of the American Bible Society.

In an address to military leaders he said, 'We have no government armed with the power capable of contending with human passions, unbridled by morality and true religion. Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other'.

How about our first Court Justice, John Jay?

He stated that when we select our national leaders, if we are to preserve our Nation, we must select Christians. 'Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian Nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers'.

John Quincy Adams, son of John Adams, was the sixth U.S. President.

He was also the chairman of the American Bible Society, which he considered his highest and most important role. On July 4, 1821, President Adams said, 'The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity'.

Calvin Coolidge, our 30th President of the United States reaffirmed this truth when he wrote, 'The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible, that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country'.

In 1782, the United States Congress voted this resolution: 'The congress of the United States recommends and approves the Holy Bible for use in all schools'.

William Holmes McGuffey is the author of the McGuffey Reader, which was used for over 100 years in our public schools with over 125 million copies sold until it was stopped in 1963. President Lincoln called him the 'Schoolmaster of the Nation'.

Listen to these words of Mr. McGuffey: 'The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our notions on the character of God, on the great moral Governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free institutions. From no source has the author drawn more conspicuously than from the sacred scriptures. From all these extracts from the Bible I make no apology'.
Of the first 108 universities founded in America , 106 were distinctly Christian, including the first.

Harvard University, chartered in 1636. In the original Harvard Student Handbook rule number 1 was that students seeking entrance must know Latin and Greek so that they could study the scriptures:
'Let every student be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life (John 17:3), and therefore to lay Jesus Christ as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and learning. And seeing the Lord only giveth wisdom, let everyone seriously set himself by prayer in secret to seek it of him'. (Proverbs 2:3)

For over 100 years, more than 50% of all Harvard graduates were pastors!

It is clear from history that the Bible and the Christian faith, were foundational in our educational and judicial system. However in 1947, there was a radical change of direction in the Supreme Court.

Here is the prayer that was banished:

'Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence on Thee. We beg Thy blessings upon us and our parents and our teachers and our country. Amen'.

In 1963, the Supreme Court ruled that Bible reading was outlawed as being unconstitutional in the public school system. The court offered this justification: 'If portions of the New Testament were read without explanation, they could and have been psychologically harmful to children'.

Bible reading was now unconstitutional , though the Bible was quoted 94 percent of the time by those who wrote our constitution and shaped our Nation and its system of education and justice and government.

In 1965, the Courts denied (as unconstitutional) the rights of a student in the public school cafeteria to bow his head and pray audibly for his food.

In 1980, Stone vs. Graham outlawed the Ten Commandments in our public schools.

The Supreme Court said this: 'If the posted copies of the Ten Commandments were to have any effect at all, it would be to induce school children to read them. And if they read them, meditated upon them, and perhaps venerated and observed them, this is not a permissible objective'.

Is it not a permissible objective to allow our children to follow the moral principles of the Ten Commandments?

James Madison, the primary author of the Constitution of the United States, said this: 'We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments'.

Today we are asking God to bless America . But how can He bless a Nation that has departed so far from Him?

Most of what you read in this article has been erased from our textbooks. Revisionists have rewritten history to remove the truth about our country's Christian roots. All, who read and agree with the words herein, are to be encouraged to share it with others, so the truth of our nation's history is told.

SaLuSa 17-October-2012


Hello All:
                      We wait a while longer. When things do start to happen, there will be many Questions for them to answer.  God Bless  Love to all Smile Red rose Red heart

             
SaLuSa 17-October-2012
Do you realize that this year in particular you have grown in levels of consciousness to the point where you have more than balanced the dark energies. You have achieved it by attracting the Light to yourselves and grounding it upon Earth. It has helped to end the domination of the dark Ones who can only hope to create fear, and delay their inevitable defeat. They are not finished but now we can fully contain them and protect our allies. Their ultimate removal is therefore going to be a mere formality. They can longer look to the Reptilians for advice, and are but a pale reflection of what they used to be. It means that the final weeks before Ascension will not be as catastrophic as some of the older predictions indicated. Indeed, with the presence of the Galactic Federation of Light who have the authority to prevent any major setback, you are going to have a fairly comfortable ride for the rest of your journey.
Meantime we call upon all Lightworkers not to relax their efforts to forge ahead with the changes within their own communities. There is much you can do at a local level to help restore your sovereignty, and we note that there are moves to become more independent. We encourage this approach as it will lay down the foundation for what is to follow, when any laws and legislation taking away your rights will be reviewed. The cunning of the dark Ones has gradually taken them away without you realizing what has been happening. As you must know by now, you have all but been on the verge of total enslavement, but that is no longer possible. It will not be long before you are freed from the controls that have taken away your freedom.
Progress is always slow on Earth but is nevertheless still heading in the right direction. You will not have to wait much longer before events occur that will signal that the end times are really underway. We know you would have wished for our presence on Earth a lot earlier, but in the long run you will have lost nothing. All that you have been promised awaits you, and matters have long moved beyond the stage where the dark Ones can prevent them. What you have achieved so far without us is remarkable, and your awakening is still growing faster. It will make our appearance much easier for people to accept, and we are still talking with your leaders about it. Clearly we would rather do it with them, but we have set our own deadline for it. If necessary we will do our own thing to ensure disclosure takes place without too much delay.
We have much admiration for those Lightworkers who have worked hard at their missions, often without knowing how long they would have to do it. For everyone the end of duality comes ever closer, and they will learn that their hard work has paid off. Their dedication will be rewarded when they learn how much difference they have achieved, and understand how many souls they have helped evolve. After Ascension life will become so much easier, and there will be no conflict or negativity to deal with. If you can imagine what it is like to be with souls of a like kind, you will have some measure of how wonderful it will be. By then you will also have met with your brothers and sisters from the Inner Earth who have long moved into the Light. There will truly be a time of great celebration and naturally we will also be a part of it.
You may be tiring and anxious to move out of duality, but you should intuitively know if your journey has been completed. The final days are going to be quite hectic for some of you, who still have karmic issues to finalize. Do what you know to be right as you cannot take anything of the old vibrations with you. It most likely applies to you in a very personal way, and if you are not sure about it try to find those quiet times when you can go within for the answers. You do in fact have all knowledge within, but normally do not remember to use it. Simply make sure that your ego does not get in the way and override your Higher Self, as it acts on behalf of your old self. In time you will of course have no problems with such issues, as you will have acquired a greater level of consciousness.
The power in the world still lies with you the people, which is why the Illuminati tried to take away your rights by false and foul means. It only takes sufficient of you to come together with a common purpose and strong intent, and you would be surprised to learn how much energy it carries. Thought is powerful, but it needs to be backed by belief if you are to have any chance of achieving your aims. Over a period of time you have contributed to different peace movements, and that has taken you so much nearer to gaining it. World peace must come and it will be declared before very long. Wars are like a pestilence and have achieved nothing but misery and debt amongst the nations involved. Think of the number of families torn apart by senseless war action and the loss of loved ones.
We can tell you that those serving their countries are becoming disenchanted by what they are experiencing. Also that as the consciousness levels rise so will the numbers of those who wish to leave the services. War is a brutal game and has become more devastating as technological advances are made in weaponry. Like everything else that has no place in the future, it cannot maintain its existence and must fall into disuse. You know, and we know that if the same energy had been put into achieving world peace, you would have had it many, many years ago. You could have been living in complete unity and enjoying a good standard of life, without poverty or need.
Of course the peace that we talk about is to be yours anyway, and will come much quicker than you might anticipate. We have been working with your authorities for a long time to bring it into being, and if possible we aim to bring it in before the year is out. It is something that we will be allowed to enforce, and have the capabilities to do so. Nothing can be hidden from us, and we will also know if we are being lied to when agreements are drawn up. We would consider that unlikely as by then the "right" people will be leading each nation. There is no time to play around with the future of you all, therefore we will only deal with those who are positive minded and have your best interests at heart.
I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and thank those who work diligently and honestly to bring back your freedom.
Thank you SaLuSa
Mike Quinsey.

Israel Tries to Assassinate Top US General, Then Invites Him for Tea


Israel Tries to Assassinate Top US General, Then Invites Him for Tea – by Kevin Barrett

Posted on by Jean
Source: Veterans Today
October 15, 2012

Has a massive, seismic fault line opened up between the US and Israel?
The Israeli government, like its New York special agent Larry Silverstein, has never been criticized for lacking chutzpah.
But Netanyahu and company may be setting a new record for diplomatic chutzpah by inviting America’s top military commander over for tea -  two months after they tried to assassinate him!
The Times of Israel, a pro-Netanyahu rag, just published an article practically begging Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chair of the American Joint Chiefs of Staff, to come visit Israel a week before the US presidential elections. I have reprinted the entire article below, interspersed with my translations from the Neocon-ese.  The original article is plain text; my translations are bracketed in boldface.
US chief of staff will likely visit Israel this month
Martin Dempsey expected to be on hand for conclusion of joint training exercise ‘Austere Challenge 12
By Asher Zeiger October 14, 2012, 6:56 pm 1
The chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey [who survived an Israeli assassination attempt in reprisal for his nixing war with Iran]  is expected to visit Israel at the end of the upcoming joint missile defense exercise in late October, Israeli sources revealed on Sunday.
“Austere Challenge 12
is set to be the largest-ever exercise of its kind, involving some 1,500 soldiers from the Israeli and American armies. The exercise is expected to go on for approximately two weeks, and while Dempsey’s visit has not yet been officially confirmed, Israeli sources were quoted by Maariv as saying that they expected him to be in Israel at the end of the exercise. [Is this wishful thinking, the same way Israel "expected" Obama to meet with Netanyahu, rather than David Letterman, in New York last month? Or will Dempsey really be there - to tell Israel "no October surprises, don't even think about attacking Iran - and by the way, any more assassination attempts, and we might just 'accidentally' turn Tel Aviv into a molten glass parking lot."]
If he does come to Israel, Dempsey will join Adm. James Stavridis, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR). The visit will take place about one week before the US elections are held on November 6. [Translation: "Perfect timing for a Patrick Clawson-style October Surprise…too bad Dempsey and his friends are hip to us, otherwise we could blow him up and blame Iran."]
Tensions between the US and Israel have been on the rise in recent months over the appropriate course of action to thwart the Iranian nuclear drive. Israel has pushed the US to declare a “red line” for Tehran — a point after which there would be military action rather than sanctions — while the US has reiterated the need to continue pressuring Iran through diplomatic means, reserving a  military strike as a last resort. [This is not entirely a "US vs. Israel" issue. It's a "sane people vs. crazy people" issue. It's the lunatics in the US and Israel, including Netanyahu a.k.a. Wile E. Coyote and his dumb friend Mitt, who want red lines and military action; while sane heads in both countries have no interest in war with Iran, period.]
One unnamed Israeli source said Dempsey’s visit would be politically significant in that it would underline the depth of security ties between Israel and the US. [In other words, Netanyahu could say "Gee, Gen. Dempsey, we're really sorry about trying to assassinate you in Afghanistan, please don't hold it against us."] In August, the longstanding relationship between the two allies was called into question when Dempsey called on Israel not to attack Iran, saying that he would not want to be “complicit” in such a strike.[The subsequent assassination attempt on Dempsey "called the relationship into question" even more sharply.]
Tensions between the US and Israel also increased when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the UN General Assembly in late September and was unable to arrange a sit-down with President Barack Obama.  [Who was too busy yukking it up with a really important person, David Letterman.] US officials attempted to downplay the lack of a meeting, saying that Obama did not arrange individual meetings with any world leaders during the General Assembly. [Except for Letterman, the King of Late-Night Comedy.] Israeli officials, however, interpreted Obama’s refusal to meet as a response to continued Israeli pressure regarding Iran. [They figured if Obama only meets with really funny guys like Letterman, maybe Netanyahu could win back Obama's friendship by doing a truly hilarious Wile E. Coyote imitation at the U.N.]
In late September, Obama reiterated in an interview on “60 Minutes” that his working relationship with the Israeli prime minister was very good. [The actual quote, I believe, was: "Boy, I've been giving it to him good, haven't I? Like when Sarkozy and I left the microphone on - that was really good!"] “I understand and share Prime Minister Netanyahu’s insistence that Iran should not obtain a nuclear weapon,” Obama said. ["However," he added, "I do not suffer from his paranoid delusion that Iran actually has a nuclear weapons program."]

At the End of the Day by John Ward

At the End of the Day

During the First World War, the Allies excelled themselves at propaganda depicting the Beastly Hun as a depraved barbarian pitch-forking babies and raping nuns. Almost none of it was true. Reading recent accounts here and elsewhere, however, you could be forgiven for thinking that some dastardly arm of something or other had it in for the bankers, each day inventing yet another unlikely tale of disgusting behaviour.
The problem in 2012 compared to 1916 is that almost all the charges levelled at bankers can be relatively easily verified. Far from representing left-wing propaganda, the endless examples of crooked banking practice are probably the top of a small iceberg - clinging onto which, below the water level, is a 4 billion cubic centimetre lump of anthrax.
For a while back there in 2011, the defence-line being drawn by the Establishment was along the lines of the Islamist/Islamic con: "you should be more accurate, and talk about a tiny minority of investment bankers" and so forth. But the revelation of banking retail scams during 2012 (almost all of which hark back to at least 2007) has blown that particular Torres Vedras away.
Yesterday, I posted the latest episode in the RBS saga. This has been a quite extraordinary trail of unethical and at times downright criminal attempts to make the citizen cough up in yet another way for the deranged greed of those who worked for  Freddie Goodwin. As the series has unfolded, however, it's become obvious at the jawslog@gmail.com inbox that the vast majority of retail banks both here and in the US are engaged in very similar practices.
So I fully expect at any day to hear that Lloyd Blankfein is a secret baby-forker: except he isn't, of course, because there's no money in it. But there is money in child prostitution, and Lloyd has been up to his fat neck in that little cess-pit. This too is represents an amazing depiction of "Do what you must, just don't get caught".
The biggest trading post for under-age sex trafficking in the US is a Web site called Backpage.com. Behind it in some grubby cellar somewhere is a cleverly obscured outfit called Village Voice Media, but nobody knew for a long time who was backing it. However, earlier this year New York Times journalist Nicholas Kristoff began asking around.
He discovered after much sleuthing that the backers were a syndicate of private equity financiers... including Goldman Sachs with a 16% stake. This isn't new news by the way, it's just that I hadn't been shown the piece until two days ago. What struck me about it was not the amoral use of vulnerable females by a bank (what's new there?) but the absolutely classic Nuremburg Nazi-apparatchik defence when caught. Kristoff writes:
'Goldman Sachs was mortified when I began inquiring last week about its stake in America’s leading Web site for prostitution ads. It began working frantically to unload its shares, and on Friday afternoon it called to say that it had just signed an agreement to sell its stake to management.
“We had no influence over operations,” Andrea Raphael, a Goldman Sachs spokeswoman, told me.'
"Look, I hat nuzzink to do mit der dropping of zose pellets in ze showers, versteht? Und I haff sold all my memorabilia," said Andrea Schnitzelnoodle as she faced the Allied judges. Dear oh dear oh dear.
A brief look back at the arrogant malpractice of RBS alone in recent times is incredible: defrauding SMEs, overcharging SMEs, falsifying credit records, shifting irretrievable toxicity into the taxpayer-liable part of the Group, hiding subpoena-demanded documents from the authorities, forcing entrepreneurs into insolvency....all of it done in the full knowledge that, without the taxes paid by those customers, RBS would simply have melted down into a radioactive pancake.
The other main difference between today and, say, the Second World War, is that the Japanese emperor didn't say to his soldiers and subjects, "Look here, we really must stop knocking our gallant chaps who gouge out the eyes of living Burmese and then leave them for British advance parties to discover screaming in the noonday sun. I mean, eggs and omelettes and all that".
But the Mayor of London does precisely that in relation to banks. Now let's face it, I've been unfairly victimising BoJo of late. And the unfairness is there for all to see when you consider that, in private, the overwhelming majority of the Tory Right and much of its press would agree with everything he says. Michael Fallon, for example, is of a very similar view to the Turkish Aryan. You would be amazed to hear what some apparently quite respectable folks at the Daily Express, Evening Standard and Daily Telegraph think on the subject. (And they exist at the Mail too - despite its on the whole laudable attacks on banking scams).
This is, it goes without saying, no different to the censorship employed by the Guardian, Observer and Mirror over several decades about the equally blatant attempts of hard-Left Trade Union leaderships to nobble the British economy, and bring the sovereign legislature to its knees. There remains also a spooky silence among Britain's liberal titles about the conduct of certain returning officers during the process to elect Ed Miliband leader of the Labour Party.
What it all comes down to in the end is power, and in particular the power that money can bring. It explains why, in New York, London, Hong Kong, Berlin, Brussels and Athens, nobody is going to jail.
But the reason there is much back-slapping hail-fellow-well-met whenever Stephen Hester visits the Treasury is that the obverse is true: the powerless surrender and amoral desperation that having no money can bring.
Hester is a banker, and the Treasury officials are senior Mandarins. Between them, these two sectors represent a staggering 64% of all Britain's National Debt liabilities. Looking at that figure, it's obvious that looking to their creatures the politicians for help in controlling them is a vain one indeed. The media both off and online are the only people left who can not so much bring them to justice, as force the Justice system to do its job.
If shame won't do it (and it almost certainly won't) then I think we should work on the basis of threatening to reveal their criminality and throw them into dungeons somewhere. This is the big advantage that rational blackmail has over accusatory but baseless propaganda: the innocent victim can ignore the invention; but the Sir Humphreys and the Diamonds cannot afford to ignore others unveiling the truth about their base greed.

“Intel Drop” Can Mean so Many Things

Plans Are In Motion to “Take Down” America

By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor

The “black dot” is on the United States.  There really hasn’t been a country called the United States for some years.  Our constitution, flawed and inadequate failed entirely when it came to protecting us from a series of coups through assassinations, rigged elections and false flag terrorism.
The worst flaw, the US Supreme Court, 5 activist maniacs, the two ”America killing acts,” the 2000 election that brought us 9/11, the depression, the wars and “Citizens United,” which turned the US over to organized crime, no longer simply Meyer Lansky, the Bush family, but something far more insidious.
First a quote from George Orwell, one of my favorites, I am beginning to call it my “You ain’t paranoid, they are really out to get ya’” quote:
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.
With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter…No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable…Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.”
We are going to take a moment or two to look at who the real enemies of America are and, just perhaps, some might wonder why we are lied to so outrageously.  One answer could be, “Because we seem to like it.”
 “If you ain’t been shot or at least someone has made a serious attempt to kill you, you ain’t worth nuttin’”
You might want to give this concept some serious consideration.  With the number of people that hated Nixon or George W. Bush, perhaps the most hated men in recent history, behind Hitler and Stalin, we won’t discuss Netanyahu here but though he supposedly lives with virtually no personal security in a country filled with Iranian “hit squads” and Palestinian “suicide bombers,” he remains untouched.
There is an answer here, one I strongly suggest we get used to accepting.  Political assassinations, a majority of things called “terrorism” and incidents from “lone gunman” shootings to odd disease outbreaks are part of a mosaic of destabilization, acts of secret societies that dictate to governments who spend billions on disease development, build armed space platforms, train terror groups, run narcotics and have looted the world through devaluing every form of wealth or security any normal human could possibly own.
That leaves “normal people” with “shotguns and canned goods” but, with the constant propagandizing, America’s crashing IQ’s and life expectancy, the GOP fight to end all health care delivery and financial survivability for the 99%, guns are useless.
I pick up every phone call now and notice “US Government” on caller ID before the real number rings in.  There is nothing worse than working in, and in my case “for” an incompetent ”police state.”
EXPECTATION ADJUSTMENT
In discussions with scientists, the year “1972 keeps coming up.  Some believe that history itself, and they are really saying “time,” went ”out of alignment” then.  With some exceptions, history reversed, diseases became more rampant, freedoms long promised disappeared, all hope for mankind’s future died, 1972.
Since then, we have been living in a “movie set” world, hollow, empty and “scripted.”
We had a century of industrialization, improvement in standard of living, education, human rights, the end of colonialism, technologies were advancing that impacted the daily lives of mankind at an unimagined rate.
Then they stopped.  We got phones with “apps,” bland cars, cheaper long distance calls and the “internet,” something I would “uninvent” given the opportunity.
We were denied many things.
Freedom is one.  We are much less free than any time since the feudal era.  America is the remnants of a post industrial civilization where the decay is being fought against by a very few.  There is a real direction we are looking at, elimination of freedom to think and choose, manipulation and suppression of all information and the systematic destruction of any hope for the future.
None of us want to talk about the election.  Obama has proven what it takes to move against the criminal cartels that control most states in the US, most city governments, 70% of our police departments.
Did he decide to keep the Department of Homeland Security and all the new Bush era Kafkaesque “organs of state security” so he might, some day, use them to defend America from its real enemies, the 1%, the mobsters that rule congress, the tens of thousands of petty thieves that fill our local governments, run our financial sector and move our narcotics to poison our children?
Or is he, as is said so often, not that different?  Whatever the truth is, there is nowhere to find it.  It isn’t as though we don’t have some who would tell it but there is, once you stick your head inside the operations of our govnerment, no sign of order or sanity, no sign of reality.
Yesterday, here in Ohio, I watched one of the endless Romney commercials.  I recognize “tired” and even “stressed out.”
Romney’s face looks wrong, his voice and gestures.  It isn’t just the lying, we expect and, frankly, deserve nothing else.  He is really quite insane and anyone who looks into his eyes and doesn’t see it, let me know.
We aren’t just talking “bi-polar” here, the rumor being spread.  George W. Bush was right, though he may not have expressed it properly.  No reasonable human could imagine someone more despicable than George W. Bush or those around him as well, running for public office in any country, no dictator, no crazed usurper, we had all believed we had seen the worst.
I keep expecting Romney to pull a parakeet out of his pocket and bite off its head.
He is that crazy.
“Playing” the media is a profession that endless millions are spent on.  Digging around, especially when you have broad access to people’s childhood friends, college roommates, family and political associates, can give you access to more than rumors.
Our problem, if you aren’t in the pay of the democrats or capable of blackmailing Romney and Adelson, the real GOP candidates, and staying alive, the rumors that have come out in “stage two” of “examining Romney’s underwear drawyer” aren’t printable.  Not that they aren’t true.
It isn’t even fear of having your car blown up, something every journalist faces today.  As with “W,” Romney has required ”watchers” and has not been able to hold it together.  It isn’t just the kind of inane rambling that I find myself in after 3 cups of caffeine ridden espresso and no sleep for two nights.  Romney isn’t a “brain chemistry” issue like Bush but a major personality disorder.  He may be elected president.
In reality, he probably can’t be successfully treated to a point where he could safely be integrated into normal society.
You will get no further information out of me.  I am out of my depth here.  All I can say is look at his commercials, look into his eyes and tell me if you would let him walk your dog, much less take care of your children.
This is the danger of a life of money and privilege, it tends to turn out crazy people.  What was so different about the upbringing of Franklin Roosevelt and Jack Kennedy?
Funny thing, but to get a security clearance, at a certain level at least, you have to pass a rather extensive psychiatric exam.  The people who can “kill the world” can be total fruitcakes.
I don’t think I am the only one who notices this.  Why the silence?
Few realize this but Ted Bundy could very well have been elected president.  It would have taken very few “adjustments” and the money behind him and he could have done it.  The only thing that kept him out of the White House was that he stopped himself, went on a very public killing spree.
Will Romney gun down a camera man at a debate?  I can only wonder.
RUSSIA, TURKEY and SYRIA
A short statement:  The US is preparing for war, not an invasion of Iran but something different.  This is all that can be said, those who are in position to know, see it.  As for others, it isn’t for me to add details.
Much of the basis for the current meltdown is a not very well hidden plot against the US, originating with Netanyahu, the “front man” and Erdogan, his “sidekick” as we refer to such things in the cowboy movies of old.
I laid out some of the basis in an article on Press TV’s website yesterday.
A key factor is Secretary Clinton.  She is currently playing the “Darth Vader” to President Obama’s “reasonable man.”  This seems to be more than pre-election maneuvering by Obama but more preparation for an “October Surprise” that will be orchestrated by one or more major powers, we are talking Russia and China.
China is desperate to have Mitt Romney in the White House as is Israel.
Russia is pushed into a corner over Syria, has gained significant control over Turkey, is openly partnered with Israel and has made inroads with Pakistan.
Then again, somewhere, somehow, America’s enemy in Afghanistan, best expressed as “evil Taliban” or “freedom loving patriots,” as most of our enemies for the past few decades are very much from that group, our enemy has now gotten a large supply of “first line” weapons.
The rockets of old, like giant versions of children’s fireworks are not GPS and laser guided munitions with longer range.  America’s bases in Afghanistan are no longer survivable.
These munitions do not belong there, there is no way they should have reached Afghanistan.  They are of Russian manufacture.
Additionally, advanced shoulder launched surface to air missiles has made use by piloted aircraft, helicopters, fighters at all but the highest altitudes, C 130 gunships, all have been curtailed or grounded.  This is a game changer.  It reminds me, of course, of the US program to supply the Mujahideen with Stinger missiles, a program managed by Colonel Timothy Osman (bin Laden) for the US Army and CIA.  Osman died under mysterious circumstances in 2001 and again in 2011.
Neither of his funerals were attended by his CIA handlers, his close friends, Zbigniew Brzezinski or George W. Bush or his reputed assistant and “Al Qaeda chief,” Adam Perlman, grandson of the founder of the Anti-Defamation League now headed by Abe Foxman.
JORDAN
Troops are being moved into Jordan under the totally insane “cover and deception” of a “refugee operation.”  A child could have thought up a better story after killing his baby brother. (the only morally relative analogy I could think of)
The Kurds are being sucked in, part of a double flanking maneuver theoretically against Syria and Iran.
Someone seems to have forgotten that even the Kurds, who want independence from Baghdad and possession of the Kirkuk oil fields are Shiites and unlikely to meet Israel and Turkey’s expectations of acting as a forward base.
The end result would be civil war in Iraq, Kurdistan would be crushed and Iraq would join with Iran.
I have good friends in Kurdistan and am deeply concerned that they are “being played.”  America has a huge debt to the Kurds, having abandoned them to Saddam under Bush 41 who stood aside and allowed tens of thousands of Kurds to be slaughtered because…
You see, Bush 41 is a businessman with strong partnerships in Turkey and Israel and, on occasion, forgot he was President of the United States and began to see himself as a “Mitt Romney corporate monster” clone.
30,000 died for a business deal nobody even remembers anymore.
The VX gas came from South Africa through Israel, shipped by a company a block from the Four Seasons Hotel in Amman, Jordan.
Our CIA are such geniuses.
Behind all of this is Saudi cash, a “not so invisible” partner in what is really very much a move on the United States.
LIBYA
One of the first moves was the assassination of the US ambassador, Chris Stephens, in Benghazi.  The lying about this has gone on long enough, even Obama and Biden are forced to take part and they are the intended victims.  We have become that delusional that lies take on a life of their own.
Globalresearch.ca, a website I find “pointedly disinformational” is now claiming the imaginary “green militia” is responsible.
Last week, someone said my mother did it.  She died in 2007.
I will be clear:  The Benghazi operation was weeks, if not months, in planning, done by combined military and intelligence, Mossad planning, at least one team from the UAE and surveillance help done by two European powers that are considered close allies of the US.
All were bought off with Saudi money and carefully coordinated with Terry Jones, formerly of the CIA for 30 years (duh) and groups within the US that include CATO and top Romney supporters.
Yes, there was advanced warning but none of it tied to anyone being mentioned.
All you have to do to get away with murdering an American ambassador or killing 3000 Americans is include a few protected Israeli’s in the group, throw around enough Saudi money and hide behind phony “neocon” politics.
This was pure treason and everyone knows what is written here is totally true but nobody can say a word because the press, just before an election, would pounce on them.  Telling the truth is now considered proof you are crazy while staging terror attacks on the US can be done with impunity.
At times, when I read about FEMA camps I almost wish it were true.  I would fill them to the brim with politicians, press, police, judges and, best of all, teach congress and the Pentagon princes some real skills and growing turnips.
Ah, but I digress…
For those who have ears to hear and eyes to see, America has enemies that have plans in motion, terrorism, new wars, rigging this election for sure, depopulating the United States, destroying what is left of our system of government and most of it is going on at the hands of a few thousand wealthy oil and arms dealers, bankers, lobbyists and a huge number of traitors in Washington.
Every American who is not insane probably knows all of this by now but I just thought I would mention it in case someone has been living under a rock for the past few decades.
IRAN
Let’s talk nukes.  Here is a simple explanation:
Israel (which runs America through its media) claims Iran is making nuclear weapons by turning uranium hexa-fluoide gas into metal and fashioning this into bombs of some kind.  Netanyahu claims Iran is weeks from doing this.
HOWEVER
Nobody has ever turned this gas into metal, uranium, plutonium, tin foil, spoons and forks, and such technology is a century or more away for the United States, much less Iran.
Here is a good analogy:
If you are a smoker, light up a Camel, take a long drag and exhale a Chevy truck.
Didn’t work the first time?
Keep trying.
Don’t stop until you have lung cancer.  If you believe Netanyahu, and this is exactly what he is suggesting, you probably ought to be out buying license plates for that new truck right now.
I do so tire of crazy people, especially when so many of them are world leaders or claim to be nuclear physicists.
MORE IRAN
This is the recent rumor with one solid confirmation.  Iran announced, two weeks ago, that they had upgraded their air defense system to work up to 72,000 feet and 85 kilometer range.
Now we are told that, while the Turks were forcing down planes from Russia with imaginary “radar tubes” of World War II vintage, Russia delivered an S400 air defense system to Iran.
Think “hypersonic.”
The video says “Will not be available to foreign customers for some years.”
Russia offered this to Turkey last year.
A two year old video can be awfully dangerous.  These units drive right off the back of planes and deploy immediately.
For those who read all the wrong newspapers or see too much TV news, even Saudi Arabia wants to use Russian equipment.  From 2010, UPI Business:
“ongoing tensions in U.S.-Saudi relations — as well as the Saudi desire to be seen as independent from Washington — would push Riyadh more in the direction of buying weapons from Russia.”
 Thus, he concluded, “it seems that a major Saudi weapons purchase from Russia is highly likely. It is just the timing that is in doubt.”
 If the deal does ahead, Saudi Arabia would be the first foreign customer of the S-400. Moscow would thus become a direct threat to the U.S. arms industry.
 Major missile manufacturers like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon have been trying for years to persuade Saudi Arabia and the other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council — the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain — to buy interoperable U.S. Patriot PAC3 batteries.
News you haven’t heard?  Hmmm.
IRAN AND AZERBAIJAN
A month ago, the Guardian released a story reporting that Israel had military forces in Azerbaijan preparing to attack Iran.  When asked, the president of Azerbaijan indicated he was “considering the ramifications” and was “closely allied with Israel militarily.”
Reuters published this:
Reuters – Yet despite official denials by Azerbaijan and Israel, two Azeri former military officers with links to serving personnel and two Russian intelligence sources all told Reuters that Azerbaijan and Israel have been looking at how Azeri bases and intelligence could serve in a possible strike on Iran.
“Where planes would fly from – from here, from there, to where? – that’s what’s being planned now,” a security consultant with contacts at Azeri defense headquarters in Baku said. “The Israelis … would like to gain access to bases in Azerbaijan.”
Then, today, we hear this:
Azeri President Ilham Aliyev says unity and cordial relations between Iran and Azerbaijani in all fields will be beneficial to regional stability.
“Baku is a strategic friend of Tehran,” Aliyev said in a meeting with Iran’s new Ambassador to Baku Mohsen Pak-Ayeen on Sunday.
He added that Azerbaijan’s strategic policy is based on the expansion of all-out ties with the Islamic Republic.
Azerbaijan was among the first countries that defended Iran’s peaceful nuclear energy program and will not permit other sides to affect mutual ties, the president pointed out.

Pak-Ayeen submitted his credentials to the Azeri president and said the Iranian officials are determined to strengthen relations with Baku.He added that the two countries enjoy great potential in economic and cultural areas which should be identified and used to bolster relations.
 What happened in between is part of that mosaic of the region, the hand of Russia, Iran’s real muscle showing and the weakness of Israel, the nation that, with the help of a retired George Tenet, former CIA director, was going to lead Georgia, a police state under the autocratic rule of Mikhail Saakashvili, to control the region and its gas pipelines and other resources.
Then came the video below, showing Saakashvili’s prisons, sodomy and torture, long approved, long subsidized by Washington and Tel Aviv.  Saakashvili’s party lost, another NATO domino has fallen and more stands revealed.
SAUDI AND OTHERS
Americans were quick to blame Saudi Arabia after 9/11.  In fact, a Saudi face was painted on the event, with the imaginary hijackers and their “funding” all tracing back to Saudi Arabia, a country that, considering, at the time anyway, their holdings of American debt, could have cared less.
Very few Americans knew Israel and Saudi Arabia,  Israel and Turkey, Israel and Mubarak and so many others were waiting for America to show weakness, waiting to pounce, to pull behind China and Russia, waiting to show their hatred for America.
Eventually America’s only allies may be Iran and Kurdistan.
Britain and the “special relationship” has long been a memory of something that never existed.
Similarly, Merkel’s Germany is hardly an American ally.  Merkel, however, hates Germany as much as she hates America.
AMERICA ALONE AND BEST FROM WITHIN
Not for the first time, America has faced foreign invasion.  We may well see the White House torched again as it was during the War of 1812, a war of America against Britain and the Federalists.
Never before have we faced a party hijacked like today, instead of Ron Paul, the legitimate GOP candidate and sure winner, we have Romney and Ryan, obvious stooges of international organized crime tasked with bringing a nation to its knees.
There has been much talk of civil war in America.  In a sense, we have had a an un-civil “cold war” in America for decades.
We see the casualties every day.
Our only real question will be a Darwinian one, is an America ruled by the inferior, the ignorant and corrupt going to survive or can the police state be beaten?
Eight years of destruction under Bush and 4 years of “spit and glue” under Obama have left little to defend.
