How come no one makes such mockery out of Oriental and Middle Eastern religions?  How complacent can we be?
OT Movie "Corpus Christi" an offense to believers

The movie " Corpus Christi " is due to be released this June to August.  A disgusting film set to appear in America later this year depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals!  As a play, this has already been in theatres for a while.  It's called " Corpus Christi " which means "The Body of Christ".  It's revolting mockery of our Lord.  But we can make a difference.  That's why I am sending this e-mail to you. 
 If you do send this around, we just might be able to prevent this film from showing in America .  Let's stand for what we believe in and stop the mockery of Jesus Christ our Savior.  Where do we stand as Christians?  At the risk of a bit of inconvenience, I'm forwarding this to all I think would appreciate it, too.  Please help us prevent such offenses against our Lord. 
 There is no petition to sign, no time limit, or minimum number of people to send this to..  It will take you less than 2 minutes!  If you are not interested and do not have the 2 minutes it will take to do this, please don't complain when God does not have time for you because He is far busier than we are.  Hey, it's worth a shot!  Apparently, some regions in Europe have already banned the film.  All we need is a lot of prayer and a lot of e-mails.
 
JUST GET THE WORD OUT

Hellmann's Mayonnaise - A Bit Of History:
 
 
Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was
manufactured in England .
In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York .
This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico .
But as we know, the great ship did not make it to  New York .
The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.
The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss.
Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.  
The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as - Sinko De Mayo.
 
WHAT???
You expected something educational from me?  : )))))

Research project to focus on blending Omega-3 oils with Green Tea Breaking

Thursday May 6, 2010
 
The provincial government is  investing up to $10,000 in research at Memorial University on the use of seal and fish oil derivatives in green tea formulations.
The main purpose of the project is to promote further usage and commercial application of seal and fish oil.
The project will use green tea derivatives blended with marine-based omega-3 oils to evaluate commercial use of the products as functional food ingredients.
As well, the work will promote the province’s research capability in the field of nutrition and health aspects of marine oil and lipids.
It will also provide an important opportunity to bring this body of research to a pre-commercialization stage.
 “This work will promote further usage and commercial application of omega-3 derivatives prepared in blended food products,” said Fisheries and Aquaculture Minister Clyde Jackman.
“Our government has always supported full utilization of the seal resource. This is an important opportunity to provide for new and potentially high-value uses for seal oil products.”
Green tea extracts contain chemicals that have a variety of positive physiological effects.
While green tea components have been widely studied, this research will investigate the use of green tea blended with marine-based fatty acids, providing an effective means of expanding applications into more diverse projects, having improved health benefits.
 The research will examine subsequent applications of these blends in other health foods, cosmetics and natural health products. It will include evaluation of the economics of the process and how green tea Omega-3 products may have positive impacts on certain cancers, viruses and other inflammatory diseases.
Dr. Fereidoon Shahidi of Memorial University is the project leader.
He and the other project team members have a long history in the field of research on marine oil and seal products.

How come we can't come up with innovative ideas like this anymore?
==============================================================
Click on the video for a better idea.
 
 
The train that never stops at a station: How to get on and off the non-stop high speed train!
A new Chinese train innovation - How to get on & off the bullet train without stopping.  VERY COOL CONCEPT !
No time is wasted. The bullet train is moving all the time. If there are 30 stations between Beijing and Guangzhou, just stopping and accelerating again at each station will waste both energy and time. 
A mere 5 min stop per station (elderly passengers cannot be hurried) will result in a total loss of 5 min x 30 stations or 2.5 hours of train journey time!
The Chinese are innovative enough to come up with a non-stopping train concept. When the train arrives at a station, it will not stop at all.
The passenger at a station embarked onto to a connector cabin way before the train even arrive at the station. When the train arrives, it will not stop at all. It just slows down to pick up the connector cabin which will move with the train on the roof  of the train.
While the train is still travelling away from the station, those passengers will board the train from the connector cabin mounted on the train's roof. After fully unloading all its passengers, the cabin connector cabin will be moved to the back of the train so that the next batch of outgoing passengers who want to alight at the next station will board the connector cabin at the rear of the train roof.
When the train arrives at the next station, it will simply drop the whole connector cabin at the station itself and leave it behind at the station. The outgoing passengers can take their own time to disembark at the station while the train had already left. At the same time, the train will pick up the incoming embarking passengers on another connector cabin in the front part of the train's roof. So the train will always drop one connector cabin at the rear of its roof and pick up a new connector cabin in the front part of the train's roof at each station.

Subject: New Investigation: Dairy Farm Workers Caught Stabbing, Beating, and Punching Cows & Calves

      

Chilling undercover footage recorded during a new Mercy For Animals investigation exposes dairy farm workers sadistically abusing cows and young calves.

Captured on hidden camera, the shocking scenes of abuse reveal a culture of cruelty at Conklin Dairy Farms in Plain City, Ohio.

During a four-week investigation between April and May, MFA's investigator documented farm workers:

  • Violently punching young calves in the face, body slamming them to the ground, and pulling and throwing them by their ears
  • Routinely using pitchforks to stab cows in the face, legs and stomach
  • Kicking "downed" cows (those too injured to stand) in the face and neck - abuse carried out and encouraged by the farm's owner
  • Maliciously beating restrained cows in the face with crowbars - some attacks involving over 40 blows to the head
  • Twisting cows' tails until the bones snapped
  • Punching cows' udders
  • Bragging about stabbing, dragging, shooting, breaking bones, and beating cows and calves to death

After viewing the footage, Dr. Bernard Rollin, distinguished professor of animal science at Colorado State University, stated: "This is probably the most gratuitous, sustained, sadistic animal abuse I have ever seen. The video depicts calculated, deliberate cruelty, based not on momentary rage but on taking pleasure through causing pain to cows and calves who are defenseless."

Immediately upon completion of the investigation, Mercy For Animals contacted the City Prosecutor's Office of Marysville regarding the ongoing pattern of abuse at Conklin Dairy Farms. MFA is pushing for employees of the facility to be criminally prosecuted for violating Ohio's animal cruelty laws.

The deplorable conditions uncovered at Conklin Dairy Farms highlight the reality that animal agriculture is incapable of self-regulation and that meaningful federal and state laws must be implemented and strengthened to prevent egregious cruelty to farmed animals.

Although many of the abuses documented at Conklin Dairy Farms are sadistic in nature, numerous MFA undercover investigations at dairy farms, pig farms, egg farms, hatcheries and slaughterhouses have revealed that violence and abuse to farmed animals - whether malicious or institutionalized - runs rampant nationwide.

Compassionate consumers can end their direct financial support of farmed animal abuse by rejecting dairy, and other animal products, and adopting a vegan diet.

January of this year, 2010, the weather stayed so cold in St. Louis, Missouri and Alton, Illinois that the bald eagles were cruising over houses in hopes of a quick meal. They could not access fish that were at the bottom of the river and had gathered together.  Would imagine the same thing was happening in Clarksville, Missouri where the eagles are also found. 

Some kind souls decided to feed the eagles so they would survive the cold spell. They gathered fish and started feeding the group of eagles huddled on the shore.

The photos below show what happened. A former teaching colleague took these photos in front of his home. Incredible!

All species of pig are smarter than dogs, and capable of abstract representation. “They can hold an icon in their mind, and remember it at a later date,” says Professor Stanley Curtis of Penn State University, who discovered that pigs dominate at video games with joy sticks. Curtis goes on to say, “Pigs are able to focus with an intensity I have never seen in a chimp.

Just wanted to remind you to wear your gloves when working outside this year

 
THIS GUY WAS BITTEN BY A SPIDER LIKE THIS IN ONTARIO 2 YEARS AGO AND IT LITERALLY EATS YOU AWAY
 
SO BE WARNED THEY ARE HERE
 
 
 
 
If you don't look at but one picture, be sure you take a look at the last one so that you will know what the spider looks like!
It's springtime & cleanup is going on. Be careful where you put your hands. They like dark spaces & woodpiles.

This guy was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider.

Day 3

The following illustrates the progression of a brown recluse spider bite.  The affected skin actually dies on his body!







Day 5


Some of the pictures towards the end are pretty nasty, but take a look at the last one - it is a picture of the spider itself.


Day 6


The Brown Recluse Spider is the most dangerous spider that we have in the
USA  & CANADA

Day 9


A person can die from it's bite. We all should know what the spider looks like

Day 10

Send this around to people you love, because it is almost summertime.

People will be digging around, doing yard work, spring cleaning, and sometimes in their attics.



The Dangerous Brown Recluse Spider


Please be careful. Spider bites are dangerous and can have permanent and highly negative consequences.

They like the darkness and tend to live in storage sheds
or other areas that might not be frequented by people or light.

If you have a need to be in your attic, go up there and turn on a light and leave it on for about 30 minutes before you go in to do your work!

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS!

fluffydasha
Send Email Send Email
 
 
This is interesting and encouraging because it comes from a far left European. 

 

Spanish Politician castigates US and Israel bashers.

Pilar Rahola




Pilar Rahola is a Spanish politician, journalist and activist and member of the far left.   Her articles are published in Spain and throughout some of the most important newspapers in Latin America . 


"Why don't we see demonstrations against Islamic dictatorships in London ,   Paris ,    Barcelona ? 

Or demonstrations against the Burmese dictatorship? 

Why aren't there demonstrations against the enslavement of millions of women who live  without any legal protection? 

Why aren't there demonstrations against the use of children as human bombs? 

Why has there been no leadership in support of the victims of Islamic dictatorship in     Sudan ? 

Why is there never any outrage against the acts of terrorism committed against   Israel ? 

Why is there no outcry by the European left against Islamic fanaticism? 

Why don't they defend Israel 's right to exist? 

Why confuse support of the Palestinian cause with the defense of Palestinian terrorism? 

And finally, the million dollar question:  Why is the left in Europe and around the world obsessed with the two most solid democracies, the United States and Israel, and not with the worst dictatorships on the  planet? The two most solid democracies, who have suffered the bloodiest attacks of terrorism, and the left doesn't care. 

And then, to the concept of freedom. In every pro Palestinian European forum, I hear the left yelling with fervor: "We want freedom for the people!" 

Not true. They are never concerned with freedom for the people of Syria , or Yemen , or Iran , or Sudan , or other such nations.  And they are never preoccupied when Hammas destroys freedom for the Palestinians. They are only concerned with using the concept of Palestinian freedom as a weapon against Israeli freedom. The  resulting consequence of these ideological pathologies is the manipulation of the press. 

The international press does major damage when reporting on the question of the  Israeli-Palestinian issue. On this topic they don't inform, they propagandize. 

When reporting about   Israel , the majority of journalists forget the reporter code of ethics. And so, any Israeli act of self-defense becomes a massacre, and any confrontation, genocide. So many stupid things have been written about Israel , that there aren't any accusations left to level against her. 

At the same time, this press never discusses Syrian and Iranian interference in propagating violence against Israel ; the indoctrination of children and the corruption of  the Palestinians. And when reporting about victims, every Palestinian casualty is reported as tragedy and every Israeli victim is camouflaged, hidden or reported about with disdain. 

And let me add on the topic of the Spanish left. Many are the examples that illustrate the anti-Americanism and anti-Israeli sentiments that define the Spanish left. For example, one of the leftist parties in Spain has just expelled one of its members for creating a pro-Israel website. I quote from the expulsion document: "Our friends are the  people of Iran , Libya and Venezuela , oppressed by imperialism, and not a Nazi state like Israel ." 

In another example,  the socialist mayor of Campozuelos changed Shoah Day, commemorating the victims of the Holocaust, with Palestinian Nabka Day, which mourns the establishment of the State of Israel, thus showing contempt for the six million European Jews murdered in the Holocaust. 

Or in my native city of   Barcelona , the city council decided to commemorate the  60th anniversary of the creation of the State of Israel, by having a week of solidarity with the Palestinian people. Thus, they invited Leila Khaled, a noted terrorist from the 70's and current leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a terrorist organization so described by the European Union, which promotes the use of bombs against Israel . 

This politically correct way of thinking has even polluted the speeches of president Zapatero. His foreign policy falls within the lunatic left, and on issues of the Middle East , he is unequivocally pro Arab. I can assure you that in private, Zapatero places on Israel the blame for the conflict in the    Middle East , and the policies of foreign minister Moratinos reflect this. The fact that Zapatero chose to wear a kafiah in the midst of the Lebanon conflict is no coincidence; it is a symbol. 

Spain has suffered the worst terrorist attack in Europe and it is in the crosshairs of every Islamic terrorist organization. As I wrote before, they kill us with cell phones hooked to satellites connected to the Middle Ages.
And yet the Spanish left is the most anti Israeli in the world. 

And then it says it is anti Israeli because of solidarity. This is the madness I want to denounce in this conference. 

Conclusion: 

I am not Jewish.  Ideologically I am left and by profession a journalist. Why am I not anti- Israeli like my colleagues? Because as a non-Jew I have the  historical responsibility to fight against Jewish hatred and currently against the hatred for their historic homeland,   Israel . To fight against anti-Semitism is not the duty of the Jews, it is the duty of the non-Jews. 

As a journalist it is my duty to search for the truth beyond prejudice, lies and manipulations. The truth about Israel is not told. As a person from the left who loves progress, I am obligated to defend liberty, culture, civic education for children, coexistence and the laws that the Tablets of the Covenant made into universal principles. 

Principles that  Islamic fundamentalism systematically destroys. That is to say that as a non-Jew, journalist and lefty, I have a triple moral duty with   Israel , because if Israel is destroyed, liberty, modernity and culture will be destroyed too.

Stella Awards

It's time again for the annual 'Stella Awards'! For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued the McDonald's in New Mexico , where she purchased coffee. You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. Who would ever think one could get burned doing that, right? That's right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch your head. So keep your head scratcher handy.


Here are the Stellas for this past year  --  2009:


*SEVENTH PLACE*

Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son.

Start scratching!


* SIXTH PLACE *

Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles , California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.

Scratch some more...


* FIFTH PLACE *

Terrence Dickson, of Bristol , Pennsylvania , who was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count 'em, EIGHT days and survive on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner's insurance company claiming undue mental Anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish. Keep scratching. There are more...

Double hand scratching after this one..


*FOURTH PLACE*

Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the Stella's when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor's beagle - even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun.

Pick a new spot to scratch, you're getting a bald spot..


* THIRD PLACE *

Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument. What ever happened to people being responsible for their own actions?

Only two more so ease up on the scratching....


*SECOND PLACE*

Kara Walton, of Claymont , Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000....oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure.


Ok. Here we go!!


* FIRST PLACE *

This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was: Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down?
$1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.


Are we, as a society, getting more stupid....
or are more members of Congress serving on juries these days?

Subject: ASPARTAME --Sweet Poison...........this is a serious health warning..............

Aspartame and the affects it has on our health has been
an issue for sometime but do not look for it to be removed
from products anytime soon. Try to enjoy fresh produce and fruit from
your local farmers market this summer. 



 
-----= Sweet Poison
This is a very helpful  email…. Something to be aware of.
 
 
 
 SWEET POISON!

 

 

 
     A   MUST READ!  

 

 

 
In October  2001 my sister started getting very sick.  She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around.. Walking was a major chore...It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain. 

 

 

 
By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her.   She was in so much pain, and so sick she just knew she was dying.  

 

 

 
She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance,  etc...in her oldest daughter's name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of. 

 

 

 
She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd. 

 

 

 
On March 19 I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS. 

 
 
 

 
I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my sister if she drank diet soda?  

 
She told me that she did. As a matter of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment. 

 

 

 
I told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda!     I e-mailed her article my friend, a lawyer, had sent.    My sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk! 

 

 

 
The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but, she sure felt a lot better.  

 
She told me she was going to her doctor with this article and would call me when she got home. 

 

 

 
Well, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed!     He is going to call all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind.    In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by t he Aspartame in the diet soda...and literally dying a slow and miserable death. 

 

 

 
When she got to Florida March 22, all she had to take was one pill, and that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning!     She is well on her way to a complete recovery.  And she is walking!  

 
No wheelchair!  

 

 

 
This article saved her life. If it says 'SUGAR FREE' on the label;    DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!   I have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on 'ASPARTAME,' marketed as  'Nutra Sweet,'   'Equal,' and  'Spoonful.' 

 

 

 
In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in  the United States, in 2001, there was an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus.  It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this to be rampant.

 

 

 
I stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject.  I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous:  

 
When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis... Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants.   The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus.   

 

 

 
Many people were being diagnosed in error.  Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is! 

 

 

 
Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with  Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers.  

 

 

 
The victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit.    He or she continues its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition.   We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas. 

 

 

 
In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision loss returned and hearing loss improved markedly. 

 

 

 
This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia.

 

 

 
During a lecture, I said,   'If you are using ASPARTAME ( Nutra Sweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc. ) and you suffer from fibromyalgia  symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs,   Cramps,   Vertigo,   Dizziness,   Headaches,   Tinnitis,  

 
Joint pain,   Unexplainable depression, anxiety attacks,

 
slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss

 
you probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!'

 

 

 
People were jumping up during the lecture saying,   'I have some of these symptoms..  

 
Is it reversible?' Yes!    Yes!    Yes!    STOP drinking diet sodas and be alert for Aspartame on food labels!

 

 

 
Many products are fortified with it!  This is a serious problem.    Dr. Espart (one of my speakers) remarked that so many people seem to be symptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to a hospice; a nurse stated that six of her friends, who were heavy  Diet Coke  addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence! 

 

 

 
Diet soda is  NOT   a diet product!  It is a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you crave carbohydrates.  

 

 

 
It is far more likely to make you GAIN weight! 

 

 

 
These products also contain formaldehyde, which stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. 

 
 
 

 
Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin and is used primarily to preserve 'tissue specimens.'  

 

 

 
Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we SHOULD NOT store it IN our body! 

 

 

 
Dr. H. J. Roberts stated in his lectures that once  free of the    ' diet products ' and with no significant increase in exercise; his patients lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period. 

 

 

 
Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics.  

 
We found that some physicians, who believed that they had a patient with retinopathy, in fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame.   The Aspartame drives the blood sugar out of control.  

 
Thus diabetics may suffer acute memory loss due to the fact that aspartic acid and phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken  without the other amino acids necessary for a good balance. 

 

 

 
Treating diabetes is all about BALANCE.  

 
Especially with diabetics, the Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrier and it then deteriorates the neurons of the brain; causing various levels of brain damage, Seizures,   Depression,   Manic depression,  

 
Panic attacks,   Uncontrollable anger and rage. 

 

 

 
Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics as well.    Documentation and observation also reveal that thousands of children diagnosed with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their behavior when these chemicals have been removed from their diet.  

 

 

 
So called 'behavior modification prescription drugs' (Ritalin and others) are no longer needed.  

 
Truth be told, they were never NEEDED in the first place!  

 

 

 
Most of these children were being 'poisoned' on a daily basis with the very foods that were 'better for them than sugar.' 

 

 

 
It is also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of  diet Coke and diet Pepsi  consumed by men and  women fighting in the Gulf War, may be partially to blame for the well known Gulf War Syndrome. 

 

 

 
Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e., mental retardation, if taken at the time of conception and during early pregnancy.  

 
Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should NEVER be given artificial sweeteners.  

 

 

 
There are many different case histories to relate  of children suffering grand mal seizures and other neurological disturbances talking about a plague of neurological diseases directly caused by the use of this deadly poison.' 

 

 

 
Herein lies the problem:  

 
There were Congressional Hearings when Aspartame was included in 100 different products and strong objection was made concerning its use. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, and still nothing has been done.    The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. 

 

 

 
Sadly, MONSANTO'S patent on Aspartame has EXPIRED!    There are now over 5,000 products on the market that contain this deadly chemical and there will be thousands more introduced..  

 
Everybody wants a 'piece of the Aspartame pie.'  

 

 

 
I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame, knows how deadly it is. 

 

 

 
And isn't it ironic that MONSANTO funds, among others, the American Diabetes   Association, the American Dietetic Association and the Conference of the American College of Physicians? 

 

 

 
This has been recently exposed in the New York Times.  These [organizations] cannot criticize any additives or convey their link to MONSANTO because they take money from the food industry and are required to endorse their products. 

 

 

 
Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote and presented a bill that would require label warnings on products containing Aspartame, especially regarding pregnant women, children and  infants.  

 

 

 
The bill would also institute independent studies on the known dangers and the problems existing in the general population regarding seizures, changes in brain chemistry, neurological changes and behavioral symptoms.  

 

 

 
The bill was killed. 

 

 

 
It is known that the powerful drug and chemical lobbies are responsible for this, letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting and uninformed public. Well, you're informed now!  

 

 

 
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW!  

 

 

 
Please print this out and/or e-mail   To your family   And friends.

 
They too have a right to know!

There are sophisticated software in the market that allows SPAMMERS to use bogus emails without being tracked down. They could be coming from abroad or from your neighbor -- you will never know.  These spammers go around stealing email addresses, specially the ones that are well known and has a large audience such as the Anti-Fur Society email addresses.  So, the AFS emails are used all the time by these scumbags.  When one gets an email like the one below, the person opens it without paying attention and voila!  It is a scam! People who don't know about these software, may think we're advertising sex drugs and other worse stuff.
 
In the case of this message, it could've been used maliciously against AFS to discredit our work.  So, if you get any such email--just know that it DID NOT COME from the Anti-Fur Society!
 
PS:  when you send out emails to lots of people - be sure to put their email on BCC so as to protect them from these vicious spammers.  Also, all our groups are protected from these because people's emails are NOT shown to non-members.
 
Thanks,

Subject: BP Embraces Exxon’s Toxic Dispersant "Corexit 9500", Ignores Safer Alternative

Corexit 9500 is four times as toxic as the oil itself...

Gulf Oil Spill: BP Trying To Hide Millions of Gallons of Toxic Oil?

BP Embraces Exxon’s Toxic Dispersant, Ignores Safer Alternative

It has been confirmed that the dispersal agent being used by BP and the government is Corexit 9500, a solvent originally developed by Exxon and now manufactured by Nalco Holding Company of Naperville, IL.  Their stock took a sharp jump, up more than 18% at its highest point of the day today, after it was announced that their product is the one being used in the Gulf.  Nalco’s CEO, Erik Frywald, expressed their commitment to “helping the people and environment of the Gulf Coast recover as rapidly as possible.”  It may be that the best way to help  would be to remove their product from the fray.  Take a look at some of the facts about Corexit 9500:

A report written by Anita George-Ares and James R. Clark for Exxon Biomedical Sciences, Inc. entitled “Acute Aquatic Toxicity of Three Corexit Products: An Overview” states that “Corexit 9500, Corexit 9527,  and Corexit 9580 have moderate toxicity to early life stages of fish, crustaceans and mollusks (LC50 or EC50 – 1.6 to 100 ppm*).  It goes on to say that decreasing water temperatures in lab tests showed decreased toxicity, a lowered uptake of the dispersant.  Unfortunately, we’re going to be seeing an increase in temperatures, not a decrease.  Amongst the other caveats is that the study is species-specific, that other animals may be more severely affected, silver-sided fish amongst them.

Oil is toxic at 11 ppm while Corexit 9500 is toxic at only 2.61 ppm; Corexit 9500 is four times as toxic as the oil itself.  Sure, a lot less of it is being introduced, but that’s still a flawed logical perspective, because it’s not a “lesser of two evils” scenario.  BOTH are going into the ocean water.

The lesser of two evils seems to be a product called Dispersit, manufactured by Polychem, a division of U.S. Polychemical Corporation.  In comparison, water-based Dispersit is toxic at 7.9-8.2 ppm; Dispersit holds about one third of the toxicity that Corexit 9500 presents.  Dispersit is a much less harmful water-based product which is both EPA approved and the U.S. Coast Guard’s NCP list.  So why isn’t it being used?

We spoke with Bruce Gebhardt at Polychem Marine Products, asked him if Dispersit was being used in the Gulf Oil Spill situation.  “Very little,” he replied.  When asked why, the impression was that the government had used Corexit 9500 in the past, and was going with what they know — no matter how dangerous that might prove to be.

Dispersit has a demonstrated effectiveness of 100% on the lighter South Louisiana crude, and 40% on Pruhoe Bay’s heavier crude.  Exxon’s Corexit 9500 is just 55% effective on SL and 55% effective on PB.  On an average, Dispersit is 70% effective, and may prove 100% effective, while 9500 is an average of 50% effective, with a maximum effective use of just 55%.  Corexit 9500 is a harsh petroleum-based solvent which is dangerous to people and sea life.  Dispersit’s human health effect is “slight to none.”  Whether or not a dispersal agent is a wise move, the question remaining unanswered is: Why is Corexit 9500 is being used at all, when the water-based Dispersit is available, markedly more effective and less toxic?   Follow the money.

Dispersal of the oil does not eliminate it, nor does it decrease the toxicity of the oil.  It just breaks it up into small particles, where it becomes less visible.  It’s still there, spewing toxicity at an even greater rate (due to higher surface area.)  But now it’s pretty much impossible to skim or trap or vacuum or even soak up at the shoreline, because most of it will never make it to the shoreline.  Instead, that toxic crude oil AND the dispersant will be spread all over the ocean’s waters.   This is why introducing such a product into the crude oil as it comes out from the pipe is a very bad idea for the ocean.

It may not be pretty, but if the oil makes it to the shore, it can be soaked up, cleaned up.  To “disperse” it means it will NEVER be cleaned up.  It will just stay out there, polluting and poisoning the ocean, her inhabitants, and all the food we take from it.  It’s unwise to be using Corexit 9500 at all, but introducing it to the oil as it leaves the broken pipe is approaching madness.  Mr. Gebhardt agrees that the oil should be contained, and what has been leaked should be allowed to come to shore where it can be removed from the ocean by less toxic means.

BP’s use of Corexit 9500 on the oil before it rises to the surface seems to be a deliberate attempt to mask the poison, to cover up that it continues to flow out from the ocean’s floor, while making it impossible to recover.  In short, BP and Exxon want to spread the toxic oil throughout the oceans of the world, pollute everywhere, rather than allow it to be seen coming to shore where BP would have to pay for its containment and clean-up.  It’s our job to keep them from getting away with sweeping this ugly mess under the surface.

And we wonder where all the money is going (hint: it's not all going to China ...)
 
You and I may never see health care again the way it used to be, but "Emperor Obama" took six (6) doctors with him for a three (3) day visit to  London  -- along with 494 other essential staff. 

 
If you're not sure what "big government" implies, take a look at this . . ..
                           
But you have already read all about this in your local newspaper ...
