the truth about computers...

Today a fourth grade student told me he wanted to write a poem about computers. I thought he was going to produce something about mindnumbing computer games or instant messenger... instead, this is what he brought to me:

"Soon computers turn robots into recruiters
and turn palm-pilots into sharp-shooters
Shooting-looters of beavers, rivers, rats
Shooting residents of natural habitats
And that's not all,
They even cause the trees to bawl.

So, computers are modern day looters
Controlling both cars and scooters
Turing us all into nature's polluters
And not into nature's sustainable suitors."

a natural solution to allergies

Instead of pumping your body up with all of the new allergy medications (who's side effects are usually worse than the malady they are "curing") I would first suggest a more natural remedy.Many seasonal allergies are caused by pollen. When bees create honey, there is a small amount of pollen incorporated; therfore, by eating local honey your body can build up an immunity to the flowers and weeds that grow in your area.

If you decide to give the local honey a try, here are a few tips taken from allergies.about.com:

*Keep in mind you may have an adverse reaction. (possibly consult your physician first)
*Buy unpasteurized honey from a local beekeeper or local farmer's market.
*Make sure the honey is from a place as near as possible to where you live.
*If possible find out if it was collected at the same time of year as when you suffer from pollen-related allergies.
*Start using it a month prior to your allergy season.
*Begin with a small amount and gradually increase the amount used.
*Do not heat the honey.

price of greed...

Followin' the trail on the old treasure map,
I came to the spot that said "Dig right here."
And four feet down my spade struck wood
Just where the map said a chest would appear
But carved in the side were written these words:
"A curse upon he who disturbs this gold."
Signed, Morgan the Pirate, Scourge of the Seas.
I read these words and my blood ran cold
So here I sit upon untold wealth
Tryin to figure out which is worse:
How much do I need this gold?
And how much do I need this curse?

Disease Deities on Capitol Hill Address Autism: Vaccine Injuries Reflect a Deeper Political Pathology
by Dr. Leonard Horowitz

On April 17, 2002 a number of U.S. Autism Ambassadors toured the Capitol Building in Washington by invitation of Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa. The following day, five ambassadors cross examined government officials representing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) concerning heavy metal toxicity and skyrocketing autism rates increasingly linked to vaccination politics and policies. I was among these five concerned citizens and professional panelists. What we witnessed during our tour of Capitol Hill prepared us for what we experienced during this Congressional hearing.

These are photographs I took from the Capitol Building in Washington. The first shows a portion of the Dome of the Rotunda in the Capitol Building central to the two wings in which (left wing) Democrats and (right wing) Republicans-our nation's leaders-conduct business, establish policies, and enact laws impacting the health and safety of all Americans. The art was masterfully painted by Constantino Brumidi to reflect, according to government promotions, "the principles upon which the United States of America was founded." Close inspection shows this angelic creature bearing the medical insignia in her right hand, and a bag full of money in her left. She is seen placing the bag full of money, as a bribe, down upon the desk of politicians in the act of writing legislation.

During the congressional hearing Indiana Republican Dan Burton, and other Congressmen including Connecticut Republican Christopher Shays informed the audience that despite the stunning increase in autism rates with its established link to vaccines containing mercury (i.e., thimerosal), Congress had requested an additional $75 million for government officials favoring vaccines to study autism. Hearing officials determined that the CDC had commissioned a classified study that examined the impact of vaccines containing mercury on the brain, nervous and immune systems of children. Their altered report secreted a horrifying conclusion that America's youth was, in fact, being crippled en masse by drug makers' use of mercury in vaccines. Furthermore, Dan Burton alluded to the disturbing conflicts of interest common to the vaccine industry in which oversight agencies such as the CDC's vaccine advisory board, ACIP, are frequently represented by paid industry officials and drug company scientists. Here, the majority of members favor policies supporting drug companies and vaccinations increasingly found harmful to the American people.

Given the above, I addressed my statement and single question to government officials thusly: "How can we assure that putting the 'fox in charge of the hen house,' so to speak, will do what needs to be done -stop the autism epidemic- without a full, top to bottom, 'house cleaning' within the NIH, CDC, NIAID, ACIP, NIMH, and FDA, freeing this bureaucracy from special pharmaceutical industry biases and influences, especially since the lives of our children, our nation's future, is at great risk?" Unfortunately, as you can read in the Congressional Record, Rep. Shays felt compelled to defend these agencies, and block further discussion on this saying that it was neither the time nor place for this question.

I replied that I simply wished to assure the elimination of individuals with conflicting interests, particularly those within vaccine policy setting agencies and committees, such as CDC and ACIP, whose officials are routinely provided waivers in contrast to the current federal law (18 U.S.C. section 208) that discourages such conflicting interests. It seemed to me that the angel bearing the medical insignia and bag of gold had dropped from the Dome of the Rotunda onto Representative Shays's lap, as my reasoned advice was censored and politics proceeded as usual.

The next two photographs provide the context for these discussions, in fact our whole trip to Capitol Hill and this report. The first picture shows the Roosevelt Memorial from a distance.
The second is a close-up of the inscription therein. This photo was obtained from a postcard in the gift shop of the Capitol Building that visitors traverse prior to exiting the nation's leading policy-making site. The inscription reads:
"THEY (WHO) SEEK TO ESTABLISH SYSTEMS OF GOVERNMENT BASED ON THE REGIMENTATION OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS BY A HANDFUL OF INDIVIDUAL RULERS. CALL THIS A NEW [WORLD] ORDER. IT IS NOT NEW AND IT IS NOT ORDER."
As a retired liberal Democrat who matured into a conservative Republican before embracing Liberatarianism, I suspect President Roosevelt was privy to, and influenced by, the same forces depicted on the Dome of the Rotunda and reflected in Rep. Shays objection to my very rational question. Clearly, the "handful of individual rulers" who have established systems of government in which human beings, allegedly "Free Americans," have been regimented include those in charge of the pharmaceutical cartel-the most powerful special interest on Capitol Hill. These shadow governors heavily influence the CDC, ACIP, NIH, NIMH, and virtually every government agency dealing in the realm of public health and medicine.

Vaccinations deployed effectively by leading globalists and "health" organizations under their control, provide the principle genocidal weapon with which "regimentation" or population control is effected.
Are we not simply looking at standard Machiavellian theory in practice?Machiavellian theory holds that most successful world leaders and rulers can best control populations, including politicians, through managed chaos-first creating problems then advancing solutions. The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and subsequent anthrax mailings, addressed elsewhere on this website (See: http://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/anthrax/anthrax_espionage.html) provides a great example of this socio-economic and political dynamic. These horrific events have prompted entirely new national security, anti-terrorism, and infection control industries aside from cultural changes in which people are happier than ever to relinquish civil rights for greater promised security.

Thus, is it really farfetched to consider documentation in books and websites such as these that show the current cancer and AIDS epidemics were sponsored in this way, and that the hepatitis and hemophiliac genocides from contaminated blood products did not happen by chance or simple negligence. (Link to http://www.tetrahedron.org/, and http://www.americanreddoublecross.com/) What about every war during the past century, including the "War on AIDS," "War on Drugs," "War on Crime," "War on Cancer," "War on Poverty," "War on Illiteracy," and current "War on Terrorism?" Are we too afraid to ask who profits most from these wars along with the great new plagues?

Massive evidence now indicates all of these social controls reflect "regimentation" wielded by shadow governors who pull the political strings on Capital Hill depicted in Brumidi's beautiful Dome of the Rotunda. The angel, embracing medicine and money, metaphorically depicts powerful banking officials, including Rockefeller and Bush family members in America, and the Rothschild's and British Royalty of Europe, highly influential among the worlds most powerful drug dealers, such as those directing the Merck pharmaceutical company-the world's leading vaccine supplier and among the world's premier "population control" (i.e., depopulation) funding agencies (besides the Rockefeller Foundation and Rockefeller directed Population Council).

Indeed, the New World Order envisioned by the select rulers about whom Roosevelt spoke is not new, nor orderly. Managed chaos, along with the current and coming plagues, including AIDS, autism, and other vaccination results, is merely symptomatic of a deeper political burden. The underlying disease bleeds humanity of both health and wealth. It needs to be exorcised-cut out and burned up in the flame of purifying truth. Each one of us has a role to play in this exorcism. It is called "bringing truth to light." This evil darkness cannot exist in the light of truth lovingly spoken after learning the facts.

Bird Flu Madness

Oprah on bird flu: Enough to scare you good, but that's about all
by Pamela Rice
[NEW YORK CITY JANUARY 26, 2006]

I happened to watch Oprah this past Tuesday (January 24) and oh boy!
Her topic, BIRD FLU; her guest, DR. MICHAEL OSTERHOLM, an infectious-disease expert from the University of Minnesota. The message was as dire as any I've ever heard on commercial television.

To Oprah's credit, she said she wanted to do anything she could to engender awareness about the potentially apocalyptic results of a bird-flu pandemic—the virtually inevitable catastrophe referred to on the show as second only to nuclear war in deadly consequences. Unfortunately, her show merely served to scare the heebie-jeebies out of her viewers, and she ended up neglecting to note the most important fact associated with the terrifying scenarios put forth.

Three things about the show should be deeply troubling to vegetarians who hold a food-politics perspective.
FIRST, when Oprah's guest was asked if people should stop eating chicken, not a nanosecond went by than Dr. Osterholm emphatically stated no, not at all. I seem to recall he also said something to the effect that chicken is a fine food, nutritious, even.

SECOND, Dr. Osterholm then went on to say that the problem is not chicken (the food) or chickens (the animals), per se, it was that in Asian countries poultry are raised outdoors. He didn't have time to explain to the audience his reasoning, but it is the current industry view that Western-style methods of chicken production need to be incorporated throughout Asia. Indoors, the animals are protected from disease carried by migratory birds. Also, when birds are contained, controls in the form of culling programs and biosecurity can be implemented more systematically as well. When you have free ranging animals you also have less control over manure runoff. Not only a threat to waterways, manure presents a ready-made vector for disease.
Alas, factory farming is the solution to bird flu, or at least it could have been. But now it's too late; the deadly H5N1 strain is of course spreading wildly and threatening to mutate into an agent of worldwide pandemic.

Oprah gave no challenge to the doctor's assessment of chicken or to his solution to the problem of bird flu, however cryptic. She elicited no deeper understanding about the causes of bird flu. Then again, would she dare question the profit-driven, meat-industry viewpoint again? My guess is she was consciously worried about another lawsuit, one such as that famously brought against her in 1998 by Texas cattlemen when, on one of her shows, she disparaged eating beef? Remember her spontaneous resolution: "I'm never eating a hamburger again."?

Incidentally, Dr. Osterholm noted on air that when the great 1918 influenza pandemic occurred there were vastly fewer poultry birds in Asia than there are today. He explained that in that year, when roughly a hundred million people perished as a result of the scourge, there were only 12 million chickens in Asia at the time. Today, 13 billion chickens inhabit Asia, making a flu pandemic all the more likely.

Furthermore, he noted that the common flu for which people get their yearly flu shot kills 36,000 people around the globe every year. Osterholm brought this fact to light simply to distinguish common flus from those that cause pandemics.

THIRD, and I believe the most troubling aspect of the show for vegetarians: There was no mention of vegetarianism as a solution to the current bird-flu crisis. There was no mention that influenza—whatever the type—would not exist but for the domestication of poultry, period. There was no mention that influenza, one of the deadliest pathogens the world has known, would not exist in a vegetarian world.

I leave you with one of the more dismal statements in Oprah's bird-flu Web site. I hope all vegetarians agree, we need to be more vocal on this issue.... We may not get such a deadly strain of bird flu, but as for completely escaping another pandemic, Dr. Osterholm says, "This is not a probability issue, it's going to happen. What we don't know is which strain it's going to be or when it's going to happen. It could be tonight. It could be 10 years from now. The bottom line is we have a lot to do to get better prepared." In conclusion, I say let's take the "pan" out of pandemic and put it in front of the word "vegetarian." "Pan-vegetarian." There. That's more like it.
