Philosophical Musings on the Juxtaposition of the Words "Commercial" and "Food"

by Sherry L. Ackerman, Ph.D.

(NaturalNews) So, how did it happen? How did we all get complacent enough to accept the phrase "commercially produced food" without even blinking an eye? How did Uncle Sam, in WWII public service announcements, go from advising the US public "to garden" to later telling the post-911 US public "to shop". And, not just to shop, but to shop for food.

Food is the hub of the wheel. It's the one thing that we all have in common: we all have to eat. And, we are what we eat. Recent statistics regarding the number of people with early onset cancer, degenerative disease, diabetes and dementia all point to a decline in the quality of our food. "Commercial" anything is about profit, not quality. So, when food becomes a profit motive, a lot goes out the door.

Some of the things that fly out the door are health, money (yours, not theirs), environment and energy. Big Agriculture is unconcerned about the environmental carnage left behind by pesticides, GMO crops, soil depletion or erosion.Big Agriculture is unconcerned about how much fuel it takes to run those mega-machines to produce, harvest and transport crops. And, Big Agriculture doesn't care how much food costs you and your family. They care about directing profits to already rich corporate interests.

Most of the food in your supermarket travels thousands of miles in trucks or planes to get from the farm to the shelves. Think about how much fuel us used to transport those items. What kind of impact does that have on the environment? When you purchase food at the store, you're also paying for the cost of shipping, packaging and storing that food. What kind of impact does that have on your wallet?

While organic foods have grown in popularity, many commercially available foods are still sprayed with pesticides, herbicides and preservative formulas to prevent disease and spoilage. The USDA currently allows "57 trace pesticides" in foods labeled organic. Are you scared (or angry) yet? Not only can these chemicals pose health risks to you, they also impact the environment through air and water pollution.

The concept of "commercial food" really gets at the heart of the differential identified by Scott Nearing. Nearing made a clear distinction between "use production" and "market production". Use production is when you produce something (in this case, food) for your own household's use. Market production, obviously, is producing for sale on the open market. Nearing argued, and I agree, the "use production" was, in the Big Picture, the most efficient and effective economic model.

By growing and preserving your own food, for example, you'll save money. Food grown from seed costs a lot less than store-bought. By preserving your harvest you can reduce the amount of food you throw away due to spoilage. There is no packaging. There are no middle managers. In addition, you can save the seeds from the fruits of your plants and replant them next year. By following these practices you could feed yourself indefinitely.

Food that you grow yourself just tastes better. Food in markets, even health food stores, is often in cold storage for up to a month before being sold. Fresh food is more nutritious and has better flavor than the stuff that comes from the store.

I grow my own food. I "get my groceries off the ground". When I walk through my garden and cut fresh greens for salad--and eat them no more than an hour later--the benefits of Nearing's "use economy" are evident. Nothing, absolutely nothing, that I can buy at a market (even a Farmer's Market) comes close to the level of quality that I can produce right outside my window.

It's my vision that more and more people will wave goodbye to "commercial food" and replace it with a "use economy" model. If Uncle Sam won't tell us to GARDEN anymore, we'll just do it ourselves!

Thankfully as Christians unless we can create our own garden, we must rely on the Lord to protect and preserve us. Even with our garden they can come along and pass laws that would make gardening illegal. We know how they operate so our complete trust is in the Lord. He will show us what to do.

Apple assumes role of Big Brother by developing patent to automatically disable iPhone cameras at concerts (and police or government abuse incidents?)

by Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

(NaturalNews) As annoying as many are, the steady stream of garbled, shaky video clips of musical concert performances that get uploaded to YouTube every day could become a thing of the past, at least for Apple iPhone users. According to a recent report from Business Insider, Apple has filed a patent for new technology that is capable of automatically disabling iPhones from being able to video record live concerts, which in turn prevents users from violating copyright laws by eventually sharing such videos with others.

The patent, which many see as a major assault against personal freedom, explains that in the presence of certain infrared signals, an iPhone could be controlled by outside sources to shut down its video capturing capabilities. Though posited in light of copyrighted musical performances, such technology could also be used to disable iPhones from filming police abuse scenarios such as what took place back in May at the 2011 annual Wheeler Block Party at Western Illinois University (http://www.naturalnews.com/032318_b...), or the recent case of Miami police who gunned down Raymond Herisse and destroyed a witness' camera phone (http://www.naturalnews.com/032655_p...).

Even the technology's assumed purpose of simply deterring the illegal filming of concerts, however, is disconcerting. If Apple ends up incorporating this type of technology into iPhones, the company will essentially assume control over its customers' personal devices. And if this control gets into the hands of the wrong people, there is no telling the extent to which one's iPhone will literally be controlled and managed by Big Brother.

Imagine if your personal computer (the iPhone is a type of personal computer, actually) suddenly stopped loading websites like NaturalNews, or literally prevented you from watching certain video clips that expose the truth about what is going on in the world (such as those found at NaturalNews.TV), simply because some outside force sent an infrared signal that disabled it, outside of your control of course. This is the type of territory into which Apple is now treading, and it is a disturbing type that deserves concerted opposition both from Apple users and from the public.

In partial victory against GMOs, U.S. Congress bans FDA from approving GM salmon

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) The U.S. House of Representatives passed a law today that would effectively bar the FDA from approving GM salmon. This is a direct result of the rising awareness of the dangers of GMOs among American consumers, along with steady coverage of the issue by the alternative media (including NaturalNews) and the efforts of Jeffrey Smith from ResponsibleTechnology.org

For months, the FDA has seemed on the verge of approving GM salmon. They claim it's no different than regular salmon and has zero health risks. This is a lie, of course: The FDA has no idea what the long-term health effects are from genetically modified salmon (or GM foods of any other kind, actually), and the pending approval of GM salmon was actually the result of criminal corruption inside the FDA which now favors big corporate interests instead of the health and safety American people.

The FDA, it turns out, will approve almost any poison -- even one that kills people or gives them cancer -- as long as some sufficiently wealthy corporation profits from it. All the so-called "scientific scrutiny" the FDA says it conducted in regards to GM salmon was nothing more than an elaborate circus act designed to bring the appearance of science to an agenda that has nothing to do with science at all... and everything to do with politics and profit (http://www.naturalnews.com/029770_salmon_genetically_engineered.html).

The FDA is so incredibly corrupt that it believes consumers should NOT even know which foods contain genetically modified ingredients! The idea that GMO foods should be honestly labeled is considered highly offensive by the FDA. It wants to keep consumers ignorant of what's in their food because if people really knew what was in most of the food they buy, they would be absolutely horrified.

GMOs, as NaturalNews readers well know, are not merely carriers of the genetic code to produce poison pesticides; they have also been scientifically proven to cause widespread infertility. (http://www.naturalnews.com/025001.html)

Learn more about the dangers of GMOs at http://www.responsibletechnology.org/ or watch my music video Just Say NO to GMOs at: http://www.naturalnews.com/NoGMO.html

How do you stop a rogue federal agency from poisoning the people?

Alaskan Republican Don Young gets the credit for spearheading this effort to halt GM salmon. He accomplished this by amending a farm spending bill and including language that prevents the FDA from spending money on approving GM salmon.

The reason this strategy is necessary is because the FDA is a rogue agency that largely operates outside the law to pursue its own agenda. As explained by attorney Jonathan Emord, author of The Rise of Tyranny (http://www.amazon.com/Rise-Tyranny-Jonathan-W-Emord/dp/0982059507), U.S. federal agencies operate as Kingdoms that respect no law and are run by unelected bureaucrats. The FDA respects no law and no freedoms whatsoever -- not even the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The only way Congress can intervene in the FDA's agenda to keep Americans ignorant of the presence of GMOs in their food is to deprive it of the funding it needs to operate.

This is why the FDA is constantly trying to expand its budget through deceptive legislation efforts such as the S.510 Food Safety Bill. Every corrupt (evil) federal agency always wants more money so that it can have more power and authority over everybody else. And because the people who run these agencies are never elected (FDA, FTC, USDA, DEA, DHS, etc.), they answer to no one and can never be removed from their jobs by the voters.

This is how tyranny grows, just as we've seen with the TSA and its lewd body searches that are conducted in complete violation of the Fourth Amendment.

Not yet law

This effort to deny the FDA the ability to approve GM salmon isn't a law yet. It's only been passed by the House. Now the Senate needs to approve a similar amendment before it can become law. So the battle continues in the Senate...

If this effort succeeds, it will be the first time the U.S. Congress has really stood up against the FDA to fight for real food safety in the United States of America. And it may signify the beginning of a huge public backlash against GMOs that will ultimately end in GMOs being outlawed in the USA.

Watch for more posts here at NaturalNews as we track the outcome of this legislative effort. Also, I predict the FDA will hurry up and try to approve GM salmon in the next few weeks before this bill becomes law, thereby circumventing its effects. If it does, the FDA will actually be guilty of unleashing what can only be called an experimental biological weapon onto the U.S. public.

It will also destroy the salmon industry because no one will trust salmon anymore. If you don't know which salmon is GMO or not, would you keep buying salmon? Probably not.

I don't have the confidence in government to believe they would ever let that law pass the Senate eventhough it passed the House.
1. They have an agenda and ALL of them are responsible to see it go through. NONE are exempted.
2.  The population must be lowered by any means possible so GMO salmon will help the process along.
So this law will not pass. Our only hope brethren is the Lord Jesus Christ. He will show us how to survive this and He will protect us.

Isaiah 30:21  And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Isaiah 41:10  Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

New NASA research points to possible HAARP connection in Japan earthquake, tsunami

by Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

(NaturalNews) Recent data released by Dimitar Ouzounov and colleagues from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland highlights some strange atmospheric anomalies over Japan just days before the massive earthquake and tsunami struck on March 11. Seemingly inexplicable and rapid heating of the ionosphere directly above the epicenter reached a maximum only three days prior to the quake, according to satellite observations, suggesting that directed energy emitted from transmitters used in the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) may have been responsible for inducing the quake.

Published in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) publication Technology Review, the findings are presented alongside a different theory called Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling, which hypothesizes that the heating in the ionosphere may have been caused by the impending earthquake as the fault line released radioactive radon. This theory, of course, is not actually proven, but is instead presented as a possible explanation for the presence of the high-density electrons and emitted infrared radiation that was observed.

Another explanation for this strange heating -- and one that, upon analysis, seems much more likely -- is that it was an indication that concentrated energy was used to induce the earthquake, and not the other way around. Numerous credible reports and scientific observations reveal that HAARP technology is fully capable of being used as a scalar weapon, meaning it can emit strong electromagnetic pulse bombs that can alter weather or trigger seismic fault lines.

Evidence that HAARP is not only capable of inducing earthquakes, but that it appears to have been used on Japan

A casual glance at the graphics presented as part of Ouzounov's research data shows near-perfect heat rings present above the epicenter of the quake. If radon emissions from the fault line were truly responsible for creating these heat zones, they would more than likely have had irregular, scattered appearances, rather than concentric circles. This anomaly by itself debunks the theory that the impending earthquake caused the heat patterns.

Also, readings from the HAARP Induction Magnetometer, which visualizes the frequency spectrum of signals detected in the earth's geomagnetic field, show that a steady, ultra-low frequency (ULF) of roughly 2.5 Hz was being broadcast days before the earthquake. The 2.5 Hz ULF happens to be the exact same frequency as the natural resonance produced by an earthquake -- and since there were no constant earthquakes occurring on the days before the quake as the HAARP Induction Magnetometer appeared to indicate, the logical conclusion is that the signal was being broadcast to induce the quake (http://presscore.ca/2011/?p=1624).

Some would argue that HAARP is not capable of producing such frequencies, especially at the power levels that would be required to induce a massive earthquake like the 9.0+ that occurred in Japan. But testimony by various governments says otherwise.

On April 28, 1997, then US Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen gave an important keynote address at the Conference on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and US Strategy at the University of Georgia in Athens. When asked a question about terrorism, Cohen had this to say as part of his response about the type of technology that existed, even back then:

"Others are engaging even in an eco-type terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves" (http://www.defense.gov/transcripts/transcript.aspx?transcriptid=674).

This admission counters the claims made by some that no such technology exists, and that it is impossible to create seismic activity using directed energy. Clearly the technology has been around for a while, and the notion of it being used as a weapon is anything but a baseless conspiracy theory.

Then, there is the EU report on the environment, security and foreign policy, that was released on January 14, 1999 (http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//TEXT+REPORT+A4-1999-0005+0+DOC+XML+V0//EN). This report outlines various types of weapon threats, including a section entitled, "HAARP - a weapons system which disrupts the climate."

The paper explains that HAARP is "run jointly by the US Air Force and Navy," and that one of its purposes is "to heat up portions of ionosphere with powerful radio beams." It also states the following important details:

"HAARP can be used for many purposes. Enormous quantities of energy can be controlled by manipulating the electrical characteristics of the atmosphere. If used as a military weapon this can have a devastating impact on an enemy. HAARP can deliver millions of times more energy to a given area than any other conventional transmitter. The energy can also be aimed at a moving target which should constitute a potential anti-missile system."

Later references to HAARP describe it as "a matter of global concern," emphasizing that most people have no idea it even exists. This was written, of course, more than a decade ago -- and yet not much has changed since that time, despite several pushes to make HAARP more transparent. But if HAARP is truly responsible for helping to induce some of the seemingly natural disasters that occur in the world, it is no surprise that the program continues to be kept largely under wraps.

Forensic evidence emerges that European e.coli superbug was bioengineered to produce human fatalities

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) Even as the veggie blame game is now under way across the EU, where a super resistant strain of e.coli is sickening patients and filling hospitals in Germany, virtually no one is talking about how e.coli could have magically become resistant to eight different classes of antibiotic drugs and then suddenly appeared in the food supply.

This particular e.coli variation is a member of the O104 strain, and O104 strains are almost never (normally) resistant to antibiotics. In order for them to acquire this resistance, they must be repeatedly exposed to antibiotics in order to provide the "mutation pressure" that nudges them toward complete drug immunity.

So if you're curious about the origins of such a strain, you can essentially reverse engineer the genetic code of the e.coli and determine fairly accurately which antibiotics it was exposed to during its development. This step has now been done (see below), and when you look at the genetic decoding of this O104 strain now threatening food consumers across the EU, a fascinating picture emerges of how it must have come into existence.

The genetic code reveals the history

When scientists at Germany's Robert Koch Institute decoded the genetic makeup of the O104 strain, they found it to be resistant to all the following classes and combinations of antibiotics:

• penicillins
• tetracycline
• nalidixic acid
• trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazol
• cephalosporins
• amoxicillin / clavulanic acid
• piperacillin-sulbactam
• piperacillin-tazobactam

In addition, this O104 strain posses an ability to produce special enzymes that give it what might be called "bacteria superpowers" known technically as ESBLs:

"Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) are enzymes that can be produced by bacteria making them resistant to cephalosporins e.g. cefuroxime, cefotaxime and ceftazidime - which are the most widely used antibiotics in many hospitals," explains the Health Protection Agency in the UK (http://www.hpa.org.uk/Topics/Infect...).

On top of that, this O104 strain possesses two genes -- TEM-1 and CTX-M-15 -- that "have been making doctors shudder since the 1990s," reports The Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentis...). And why do they make doctors shudder? Because they're so deadly that many people infected with such bacteria experience critical organ failure and simply die.

Bioengineering a deadly superbug

So how, exactly, does a bacterial strain come into existence that's resistant to over a dozen antibiotics in eight different drug classes and features two deadly gene mutations plus ESBL enzyme capabilities?

There's really only one way this happens (and only one way) -- you have to expose this strain of e.coli to all eight classes of antibiotics drugs. Usually this isn't done at the same time, of course: You first expose it to penicillin and find the surviving colonies which are resistant to penicillin. You then take those surviving colonies and expose them to tetracycline. The surviving colonies are now resistant to both penicillin and tetracycline. You then expose them to a sulfa drug and collect the surviving colonies from that, and so on. It is a process of genetic selection done in a laboratory with a desired outcome. This is essentially how some bioweapons are engineered by the U.S. Army in its laboratory facility in Ft. Detrick, Maryland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation...).

Although the actual process is more complicated than this, the upshot is that creating a strain of e.coli that's resistant to eight classes of antibiotics requires repeated, sustained expose to those antibiotics. It is virtually impossible to imagine how this could happen all by itself in the natural world. For example, if this bacteria originated in the food (as we've been told), then where did it acquire all this antibiotic resistance given the fact that antibiotics are not used in vegetables?

When considering the genetic evidence that now confronts us, it is difficult to imagine how this could happen "in the wild." While resistance to a single antibiotic is common, the creation of a strain of e.coli that's resistant to eight different classes of antibiotics -- in combination -- simply defies the laws of genetic permutation and combination in the wild. Simply put, this superbug e.coli strain could not have been created in the wild. And that leaves only one explanation for where it really came from: the lab.

Engineered and then released into the wild

The evidence now points to this deadly strain of e.coli being engineered and then either being released into the food supply or somehow escaping from a lab and entering the food supply inadvertently. If you disagree with that conclusion -- and you're certainly welcome to -- then you are forced to conclude that this octobiotic superbug (immune to eight classes of antibiotics) developed randomly on its own... and that conclusion is far scarier than the "bioengineered" explanation because it means octobiotic superbugs can simply appear anywhere at any time without cause. That would be quite an exotic theory indeed.

My conclusion actually makes more sense: This strain of e.coli was almost certainly engineered and then released into the food supply for a specific purpose. What would that purpose be? It's obvious, I hope.

It's all problem, reaction, solution at work here. First cause a PROBLEM (a deadly strain of e.coli in the food supply). Then wait for the public REACTION (huge outcry as the population is terrorized by e.coli). In response to that, enact your desired SOLUTION (total control over the global food supply and the outlawing of raw sprouts, raw milk and raw vegetables).

That's what this is all about, of course. The FDA relied on the same phenomenon in the USA when pushing for its recent "Food Safety Modernization Act" which essentially outlaws small family organic farms unless they lick the boots of FDA regulators. The FDA was able to crush farm freedom in America by piggybacking on the widespread fear that followed e.coli outbreaks in the U.S. food supply. When people are afraid, remember, it's not difficult to get them to agree to almost any level of regulatory tyranny. And making people afraid of their food is a simple matter... a few government press releases emailed to the mainstream media news affiliates is all it takes.

First ban the natural medicine, then attack the food supply

Now, remember: All this is happening on the heels of the EU ban on medicinal herbs and nutritional supplements -- a ban that blatantly outlaws nutritional therapies that help keep people healthy and free from disease. Now that all these herbs and supplements are outlawed, the next step is to make people afraid of fresh food, too. That's because fresh vegetables are medicinal, and as long as the public has the right to buy fresh vegetables, they can always prevent disease.

But if you can make people AFRAID of fresh vegetables -- or even outlaw them altogether -- then you can force the entire population onto a diet of dead foods and processed foods that promote degenerative disease and bolster the profits of the powerful drug companies.

It's all part of the same agenda, you see: Keep people sick, deny them access to healing herbs and supplements, then profit from their suffering at the hands of the global drug cartels.

GMOs play a similar role in all this, of course: They're designed to contaminate the food supply with genetic code that causes widespread infertility among human beings. And those who are somehow able to reproduce after exposure to GMOs still suffer from degenerative disease that enriches the drug companies from "treatment."

Do you recall which country was targeted in this recent e.coli scare? Spain. Why Spain? You may recall that leaked cables from Wikileaks revealed that Spain resisted the introduction of GMOs into its agricultural system, even as the U.S. government covertly threatened political retaliation for its resistance. This false blaming of Spain for the e.coli deaths is probably retaliation for Spain's unwillingness to jump on the GMO bandwagon. (http://www.naturalnews.com/030828_G...)

That's the real story behind the economic devastation of Spain's vegetable farmers. It's one of the subplots being pursued alongside this e.coli superbug scheme.

Food as weapons of war - created by Big Pharma?

By the way, the most likely explanation of where this strain of e.coli was bioengineered is that the drug giants came up with it in their own labs. Who else has access to all the antibiotics and equipment needed to manage the targeted mutations of potentially thousands of e.coli colonies? The drug companies are uniquely positioned to both carry out this plot and profit from it. In other words, they have the means and the motive to engage in precisely such actions.

Aside from the drug companies, perhaps only the infectious disease regulators themselves have this kind of laboratory capacity. The CDC, for example, could probably pull this off if they really wanted to.

The proof that somebody bioengineered this e.coli strain is written right in the DNA of the bacteria. That's forensic evidence, and what it reveals cannot be denied. This strain underwent repeated and prolonged exposure to eight different classes of antibiotics, and then it somehow managed to appear in the food supply. How do you get to that if not through a well-planned scheme carried out by rogue scientists? There is no such thing as "spontaneous mutation" into a strain that is resistant to the top eight classes of brand-name antibiotic drugs being sold by Big Pharma today. Such mutations have to be deliberate.

Once again, if you disagree with this assessment, then what you're saying is that NO, it wasn't done deliberately... it happened accidentally! And again, I'm saying that's even scarier! Because that means the antibiotic contamination of our world is now at such an extreme level of overkill that a strain of e.coli in the wild can be saturated with eight different classes of antibiotics to the point where it naturally develops into its own deadly superbug. If that's what people believe, then that's almost a scarier theory than the bioengineering explanation!

A new era has begun: Bioweapons in your food

But in either case -- no matter what you believe -- the simple truth is that the world is now facing a new era of global superbug strains of bacteria that can't be treated with any known pharmaceutical. They can all, of course, be readily killed with colloidal silver, which is exactly why the FDA and world health regulators have viciously attacked colloidal silver companies all these years: They can't have the public getting its hands on natural antibiotics that really work, you see. That would defeat the whole purpose of making everybody sick in the first place.

In fact, these strains of e.coli superbugs can be quite readily treated with a combination of natural full-spectrum antibiotics from plants such as garlic, ginger, onions and medicinal herbs. On top of that, probiotics can help balance the flora of the digestive tract and "crowd out" the deadly e.coli that might happen by. A healthy immune system and well-functioning digestive tract can fight off an e.coli superbug infection, but that's yet another fact the medical community doesn't want you to know. They much prefer you to remain a helpless victim lying in the hospital, waiting to die, with no options available to you. That's "modern medicine" for ya. They cause the problems that they claim to treat, and then they won't even treat you with anything that works in the first place.

Nearly all the deaths now attributable to this e.coli outbreak are easily and readily avoidable. These are deaths of ignorance. But even more, they may also be deaths from a new era of food-based bioweapons unleashed by either a group of mad scientists or an agenda-driven institution that has declared war on the human population.

To this day, Coca-Cola still imports coca leaves which are used to manufacture cocaine in the United States

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) Coca leaves have been chewed and consumed as tea for thousands of years in the high Andes. They are rich in many essential nutrients; they ease respiratory and digestive distress and are a natural stimulant and painkiller. Indigenous tradition and scientific studies have both confirmed that in their natural form, the leaves are completely safe and non-addictive -- it takes intensive processing and toxic chemical ingredients to produce cocaine. That's why more and more coca-containing products have started to hit the market in Andean countries in the past few years.

Yet the United States still aggressively pursues an eradication policy that encourages Andean governments to spray their forests with toxic chemicals to eliminate this medicinal crop. It is illegal to import or possess the leaves under U.S. law -- unless you're the Coca-Cola company. In an effort to preserve the traditional flavor of the best-selling drink, the company long ago convinced the U.S. government to exempt it from the law.

(Coca-Cola, by the way, used to literally contain cocaine in its original formula. The practice was halted in 1903, but the name persisted. The "coca" part of "coca-cola" is derived from the coca plant, and the "kola" comes from the kola nut which also flavored the original beverage.)

The secret history of Coca-Cola, coca leaves and cocaine

Coca-Cola is the only U.S. corporation that has been granted the right to legally import coca leaves into the United States, via a coca processing lab known as the Stepan Company). In 1922, the Jones-Miller Act banned cocaine imports into the United States, but Coca-Cola (and its lab) was granted an exception. This exception remained a secret until the late 1980's when the New York Times seemed shocked to discover the truth.

As the New York Times published in 1988 (http://www.nytimes.com/1988/07/01/business/how-coca-cola-obtains-its-coca.html)

This week, details of how Coca-Cola obtains the coca and how it is processed emerged from interviews with Government officials and scientists involved in drug research programs. They identified the Illinois-based Stepan Company as the importer and processor of the coca used in Coke. After Stepan officials acknowledged their ties to Coca-Cola, the soft drink giant confirmed those details of its operations.

In a telephone interview from Coca-Cola's Atlanta headquarters, Randy Donaldson, a company spokesman, said, ''Ingredients from the coca leaf are used, but there is no cocaine in it and it is all tightly overseen by regulatory authorities.''


100 tons of cocaine ingredients each year - let's do the math

Approximately 100 metric tons of coca leaves are imported to the Stepan Company each year (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepan_Company) under "special permission" from the DEA. Keep all this in mind when you consider the total fraud of the current "War on Drugs" and how young African American men are given ten-year prison sentences for pot possession while one of the largest corporations in America is actually importing leaves that are used to manufacture cocaine.

Once the coca leaves are imported into the USA under these special permissions from the DEA, the cocaine is extracted out of the coca leaves. Coca-Cola doesn't use the cocaine, you see. There is no cocaine in Coca-Cola today.

This brings up an obvious question: Where does all the white powder cocaine go if not to Coca-Cola? It turns out that this cocaine is sold to a St. Louis company called Mallinckrodt Incorporated.

Mallinckrodt receives not only all the cocaine from the Coca-Cola imports, but also imports opium from India (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallinckrodt). In addition, this company also buys THC extracted from marijuana grown in the United States. So much for the War on Drugs, huh? It turns out if you buddy up to the DEA and federal regulators, you can make all the cocaine you want while buying opium and marijuana by the ton -- as long as you're a powerful corporation with ties to Coca-Cola and other wealthy organizations.

More than a quarter ton of cocaine for "medicinal" use?

It's a reasonable question to wonder where all this cocaine and opium ends up going after it arrives at Mallinckrodt. The official explanation is that it's for "medical use." But let's do the math on this and see if that explanation holds water.

According to various websites that are readily found in any search engine, it takes roughly 300 grams of coca leaves to produce 1 gram of refined cocaine. This means that 100 metric tons of coca leaves (100 x 1000 kilograms, or 100,000 kilograms) can produce roughly 333 kilos of cocaine each year.

Ask around... That's a lot of cocaine. Remember, too, that these are 333 kilos of cocaine approved by the DEA -- an agency which claims to be fighting a "war on drugs" but somehow grants immunity to Coca-Cola suppliers who are literally manufacturing hundreds of kilos of cocaine each year.

All this brings up the obvious question: What is the Mallinckrodt company doing with 333 kilos of cocaine each year? Throwing a big annual Christmas party or something? It is impossible to imagine that 333 kilos of cocaine are being used for "medical purposes" unless you have a very loose definition of "medical purposes." Although this is pure conjecture, I wouldn't be surprised to learn if a significant portion of this was handed out to top DEA officials as bribes to pay them off and keep the cocaine operation running.

Enough lines of cocaine for the entire U.S. Congress!

Continuing with the math, 333 kilos is (obviously) 333,000 grams of cocaine. How much cocaine is that, exactly? Well, according to TheGoodDrugsGuide.com, a typical "line" of cocaine (a "line" is what a typical user will inhale to ingest the cocaine) contains 50 - 75mg, or roughly 1/20th of a gram (http://www.thegooddrugsguide.com/cocaine/faq.htm).

This means that each gram of cocaine is enough to make up to 20 "lines" of cocaine, give or take, depending on how crazy you and your friends are.

Multiply that by the 333,000 grams of cocaine that could be produced from the 100 metric tons of cocaine leaves being imported into the USA each year, and you come to the astonishing realization that the coca leaves imported for the benefit of the Coca-Cola company can be processed into the equivalent of 6.66 million lines of cocaine each year!

Here's the math again (calculations are all rounded for the sake of convenience, so they're just rough estimates):

100 metric tons of coca leaves = 100,000 kilograms of coca leaves
100,000 kilograms of coca leaves produces 333 kilograms of cocaine
333 kilograms equals 333,000 grams
333,000 grams of cocaine can be divided into 6.66 million "lines" of cocaine

P.S. According to Wiki Answers, 333,000 grams of cocaine is worth roughly $16.7 million on the street (at $50 a gram).

It strains the limits of believability to think that 333,000 grams of cocaine are being used for "medical purposes" in America. How and where are 333,000 grams of cocaine being used for "medical purposes?" I mean, have you ever gone to your doctor and watched him write a prescription for cocaine? Nope.

This seemingly leaves only three possibilities for where all this cocaine is going:

Possibility #1) The Mallinckrodt company might be stockpiling massive amounts of cocaine each year, perhaps dwarfing Disneyland's "Space Mountain" ride.

Possibility #2) The Mallinckrodt company might be somehow destroying massive amounts of cocaine each year. (But human greed probably prevents this from happening, given that this white power is so darned valuable...)

Possibility #3) The Mallinckrodt company might be "losing track" of massive amounts of cocaine each year (i.e. is disappears out the back door and into the hands of DEA agents and politicians who keep the whole operation "legal"). This is one case where brown-nosing the DEA leaves a thin layer of white dust on your nose, too.

Or hey, maybe all this cocaine is being quietly distributed to all the doctors and pharmacists who are chronically addicted to drugs themselves -- it's a huge percentage of the medical workforce because they have access to drugs on a day-to-day basis and they think they need a pharmaceutical kick to survive their long work hours. 6.66 million lines of cocaine is enough to keep a few thousand pharmacists churning away, filling high-profit prescriptions for painkillers and psychiatric drugs that turn everybody else into addicts, too.

Big Pharma has a long history of manufacturing cocaine

Interesting historical fact: At the turn of the 20th century, many giants of the pharmaceutical industry were manufacturing cocaine. These companies included Parke, Davis, Merck and Squibb.

Merck, the present-day manufacturer of Gardasil vaccines, dominated the cocaine market. (Source: Andean cocaine: the making of a global drug, by Paul Gootenberg). It just goes to show you that drug companies don't really care much about what they're selling you as long as it makes them a profit. Your doctor is your dealer, and Big Pharma is his hook-up.


Cocaine was always sold and bought in the USA. Where is a demand there will ALWAYS be a supply, especially in Congress.

Even So, Come Lord Jesus!
"And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city."
Genesis 11:5-8
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie."
Revelation 22:13-15
"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."
Revelation 1:7
"He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
Revelation 22:20
In this issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter, we will once again examine the multitude of indicators that declare we are rapidly moving ever closer to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Although most people have grown attached to this world and do not want to believe that it could ever end, we know that the situation on this planet continues to deteriorate and that our God has something far better prepared for His people.
As we progress through time, fewer and fewer people are still faithfully awaiting the return of Jesus Christ. The skeptics tell us we are foolish. After all, it has been over two thousand years since Jesus promised to return, and he still has not done so. However, it is important to remember that there were prophecies of Christ's first coming dating all the way back to the book of Genesis. By the time Jesus was finally born, very few people were still waiting for him to arrive. Perhaps this is the reason Jesus asked in Luke 18:8, "Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
Yes, our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, is going to return, and I believe it will be very soon. The signs are all around us and the conditions of the end times which Jesus spoke of are coming to pass before our very eyes. As we watch and pray and see the circumstances of this world grow worse by the day, the cry of God's people is "Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
The Rising One World Government!
Throughout the history of the world, there have been an uncountable number of wars and numerous disasters that have taken many lives. After a war or catastrophic event, there is often a call for the world to unite to prevent such disasters in the future. For example, after the first World War, the League of Nations was formed. After World War II, we saw the establishment of the United Nations. The first such call for world unity, however, is recorded in the book of Genesis.
Knowing full well that God had recently destroyed the entire earth with a flood, the population of the world banded together and began to build a city with a tower reaching unto the heavens. They reasoned amongst themselves that if God ever sent another flood, their tower would save them from being wiped out. When God saw what the people reasoned in their hearts to do, he was sorely displeased and confounded their languages. Since the people could no longer understand each other, they were unable to complete their Tower of Babel, and they were scattered all over the planet. The Bible also tells us that God divided the earth in the days of Peleg. Scientists would later refer to that event as the continental drift.
The Tower of Babel was the first ever attempt at a one world government. God put a stop to it because He understands that the hearts of men are evil by nature, and if the whole world was united together, it would only be a short amount of time before every man, woman, and child was under bondage and tyranny. It was the historian and writer Sir John Dalberg-Acton who said, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." (1) Therein lies the reason why Satan wants a one world government, for if one were established, it would not be difficult for him to seize control.
The push for a global one world government continues to this day. In fact, the United Nations now claims 192 sovereign state nations as members of its organization. While the United Nations serves an umbrella group encompassing the entire world, there are other treaties and alliances being formed to unite countries in a closer tight-knit fashion. Europe has their European Union, which has united twenty-seven nations together. A recent report from Al Arabiya News indicates that Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria are planning to establish a common visa system. (2) A secret cable from the Ottawa Embassy in Ottawa, Canada, and dated January 28, 2005, discusses the possibility of a "North American Integration," which would bring together Canada, the United States, and Mexico. The recently leaked-out document states, "An incremental and pragmatic package of tasks for a new North American Initiative (NAI) will likely gain the most support among Canadian policymakers. Our research leads us to conclude that such a package should tackle both 'security' and 'prosperity goals.' This fits the recommendations of Canadian economists who have assessed the options for continental integration. While in principle many of them support more ambitious integration goals, like a custom union/single market and/or single currency, most believe the incremental approach is most appropriate at this time, and all agree that it helps pave the way to these goals if and when North Americans choose to pursue them." (3) In other words, they want to unite the North American nations gradually so that citizens of each nation will be more willing to accept an unified economy and currency.
As we watch countries around the world unite, I can't help but think back to my childhood when I would assemble jigsaw puzzles. I would put pieces together in clumps, and those clumps would get bigger and bigger as I went along. Finally, I would put all of the pieces together and the puzzle would be completed. We are seeing countries clumped together now. Eventually they will want to connect all of the pieces or clumps, and what they would hope to have at that point is a one world government.
The people who are working behind the scenes to establish a one world government include not only the United Nations, but groups such as the Council on Foreign Relations, or CFR. My father once stood outside their building located at 58 East 68th Street in New York City. Two women came out of the building under the guise of a smoking break, but undoubtedly they wanted to see what my parents and the people who were with them were up to. My father struck up a conversation with them and asked the question, "What is your agenda?" One of the women replied, "To ensure that the United States is not isolationist." What is isolationism? According to one dictionary definition, isolationism is "the policy or doctrine of isolating one's country from the affairs of other nations by declining to enter into alliances, foreign economic commitments, international agreements, etc., seeking to devote the entire efforts of one's country to its own advancement and remain at peace by avoiding foreign entanglements and responsibilities." (4) If we read between the lines, it is easy to see that the Council on Foreign Relations exists to make sure that the United States takes its place in the one world government system, which they are attempting to install.
While most members of the organization are elitists not commonly known by the average person, some members of the group are quite famous. The official CFR roster includes names such as former president of the United States Bill Clinton, actress Angelina Jolie, actor Richard Dreyfuss, broadcast journalist Barbara Walters, and news anchor Tom Brokaw. (5)
In order to successfully bring forth a global one world government, you must indoctrinate children from a very young age on the virtues of such a system. It was Vladimir Lenin, the founder of the Soviet Communist Party, who once said, "Give me just one generation of youth, and I'll transform the whole world." (6) When children go to school, their fertile young minds are often filled with globalist propaganda. In fact, one of the most bone-chilling quotes I've ever read came from a professor, known as Dr. Chester M. Pierce from Harvard University, who stated, "Every child in America entering school at the age of five is mentally ill because he comes to school with certain allegiances to our founding fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It's up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well - by creating the international child of the future." (7)
The good news is that all efforts to set up a one world government will fail. Ultimately, the biggest obstacle preventing Satan's plans from reaching fruition is the existence of God's children who will always refuse to go along with Satan's evil system. In Daniel 2:44 we read, "And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever."
Did Obama Get Osama?
On the evening of May 1, 2011, Barack Obama announced that the infamous terrorist known as Osama bin Laden was shot and killed at a compound located in Abbottabad, Pakistan. According to the official story, bin Laden was killed by an elite team of Navy Seals known as Team Six. (8) They say they then quickly identified the body by a variety of means, including a DNA test. (9) After supposedly verifying the identity of the man they shot and killed, bin Laden was quickly given a water burial in the North Arabian Sea. (10)
The mission, which was code-named Operation Neptune Spear, seems to be covered in a shroud of secrecy. From the very outset, many of the details fed to the public by the government and the media were contradictory, and what really happened that evening in Abbottabad has been very difficult to ascertain.
While the United States' government claims that they quickly buried Osama bin Laden at sea because it is customary in Islam for a body to be buried within twenty-four hours of death, they seemed ignorant of the fact that Islam generally considers burial at sea to be a disgrace unless there are absolutely no other options. A cleric from Egypt, known as Ahmad al-Tayeb, claims that bin Laden's sea burial "runs contrary to the principles of Islamic laws, religious values, and humanitarian customs." (11) Why would the government bother to abide by one Islamic law while simultaneously violating another?
To date the Obama Administration has offered no evidence whatsoever that Osama bin Laden was actually killed when they said he was and in the manner that they claim. Many folks believe that bin Laden was already dead and had been dead for nearly a decade. I have a Fox News report in front of me, which is dated December 26, 2001, and it has the headline "Bin Laden Already Dead." The article, which cites a report from the Pakistan Observer, claims that Osama bin Laden died from a lung complication near the Tora Bora Mountains. (12)
An ABC News report, dated January 28, 2002 states, that on the night of September 10, 2001, bin Laden was at a hospital in Pakistan receiving dialysis. The report cites a hospital worker who claims they had a very unusual patient that night. "The military had him surrounded, and I saw the mysterious patient helped out of a car. I have seen many pictures of the man. He is the man we know as Osama bin Laden. I also heard two army officers talking to each other. They were saying that Osama bin Laden had to be watched carefully and looked after." (13)
A report from CNN, dated January 18, 2002, quotes Pakistan's former president, General Pervez Musharraf, as saying of bin Laden, "I think now, frankly, he is dead for the reason he is a kidney patient." Musharraf went on to say, "I don't know if he has been getting all that treatment in Afghanistan now. And the photographs that have been shown of him on television show him extremely weak. I would give the first priority that he is dead and the second priority that he is alive somewhere in Afghanistan." (14)
We may never know what really happened and how much of the official story is true. With today's modern technology, it is easy to fake pictures and videos. In fact, according to an article from the Washington Post, dated May 25, 2010, the CIA admits to faking at least one bin Laden video. (15) However, the majority of the American people will never question the official story because they desperately want it to be true. I personally cannot say for sure what happened because I wasn't there. However, in my personal opinion, I find the official story to be flimsy at best. It will be interesting to see if Barack Obama attempts to use this event as a way to bolster his chances of reelection.
Is The United States Becoming A Police State?
The United States of America is traditionally known as a "free country." In fact, the United States' Declaration of Independence refers to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" as "unalienable rights." Yet, since September 11, 2001, we have seen the freedoms that American citizens traditionally enjoy become slowly and systematically stripped away. When the US Patriot Act was passed in October 2001, it gave the United States government an unprecedented amount of authority to watch, spy, and conduct surveillance on the American people. Agencies of the government, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, can now issue letters demanding the release of information regarding American citizens. These letters, which are known as National Security Letters, require no probable cause or judicial oversight. In the year 2010, the FBI issued 24,287 such letters and demanded information pertaining to 14,212 Americans. (16)
How bad could things get? Counter terrorism experts are now speculating that security measures may need to be increased at a variety of locations; including malls, shopping centers, stadiums, hotels, and even places of worship, due to concern of retaliatory terrorist attacks related to Osama bin Laden's death. According to security consultant David Boehm, in the future we could see security checkpoints at all such locations, which they refer to as "soft targets." (17) Will we someday be forced to suffer through an airport style security checkpoint just to go shopping at the local department store?
On May 4, 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, issued a press release announcing new policy changes, which will allow them to seize food and prevent it from being released to the marketplace for up to thirty days regardless of whether or not there is any evidence that the food may be unsafe for consumption. The press release states, "Previously, the FDA's ability to detain food products applied only when the agency had credible evidence that a food product presented was contaminated or mislabeled in a way that presented a threat of serious adverse health consequences or death to humans or animals." The new regulations, which are part of the Food Safety Modernization Act, will take effect in July 2011. (18)
Many news outlets have been publishing reports in recent days of Apple and Google's ability to collect data about its mobile phone users and to track their whereabouts everywhere they go. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, phones running on Google's Android operating system collect user location data every few seconds and transmit that data to Google several times an hour. Apple also collects location data of its iPhone users and receives transmission of that data every twelve hours. (19) It has now come to light that the Michigan State Police have been utilizing a device that can quickly copy all information from a person's mobile phone, and the equipment is sometimes being used even in cases of minor traffic violations. The device, which is known as the Physical Analyzer and is manufactured by a company known as CelleBrite, allows for the "complete extraction of existing, hidden, and deleted phone data, including call history, text messages, contacts, images, and geotags," according to the product brochure. (20)
Legislation has been drafted by Department of Transportation officials commissioning the creation of a Surface Transportation Revenue Alternatives Office to conduct trials for a new mileage tax that would charge automobile drivers for every mile that they drive. The proposal is highly unpopular, and according to Geoffrey Styles, writer of the Energy Outlook blog, the potential invasion of privacy is a big reason many American drivers would balk at the implementation of the new tax. "The problem comes the minute you introduce a device in the vehicle. [People] do not want the government to know where they are and where they are going," Styles said. (21)
Promiscuous Behavior - Condoned By The Powers That Be!
In today's society, the population of the Western world is constantly bombarded with lust-instilling material from television, magazines, licentious musicians, provocative Hollywood stars, and especially the Internet. This constant exposure to unseemly material is wreaking havoc on the lives of not only the adult population, but also on the lives of the children.
The city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, ranks within the top ten for incidences of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. In fact, the occurrence of HIV in Philadelphia is five times the national average, and 25 percent of all new infections occur with youth ages thirteen to twenty-four. In an attempt to combat the spread of STDs, the Philadelphia Department of Public Health has been distributing free condoms throughout the city at more than one hundred sites, including community-based organizations, churches, corner stores, beauty salons, adult clubs, bookstores, bathhouses, and college health centers. However, the city of Philadelphia decided that wasn't enough, and they have now launched a new program known as "Take Control Philly." The website for the program, which is geared towards youth, includes instructional videos which explain how to use condoms, and it also features a form that children ranging from ages eleven to nineteen can fill out to request that condoms be delivered to their homes through the mail. (22)
As It Was In The Days Of Lot!
For those who have studied American history at any depth, it is quite apparent that mainstream culture in the United States has grown more permissive as the years have passed. We now see a whole slew of sins brought to the forefront of society and proudly paraded about while those responsible for the aberrant behavior are patted on the back and told that their lifestyles are acceptable. Yet, our Holy Bible tells us that our God is unchanging. If he disapproved of certain actions in the past, he still disapproves of them today, regardless of what politicians, activists, or preachers may have to say about it. In Malachi 3:6 it says, "For I am the LORD, I change not."
The Bible makes it very clear that God does not approve of homosexual behavior. However, the few Christians still willing to stand up in opposition to this perverse lifestyle find themselves in an increasingly precarious situation. Those who dare to speak out against homosexuality are ostracized and called bigots. It has become quite clear that homosexuals are determined to ram their way of life down our throats and force us to not only tolerate their behavior, but accept it.
Lawmakers in the state of California are now considering a bill known as the Fair Education Act, which would require schools to include the "achievements" of homosexuals in their history and social studies curriculum. State Senator Mark Leno, an openly gay Democrat from San Francisco, authored the bill. "It is apparent that we are censoring the history lessons of our students by denying them the facts of the struggle for equal civil rights for the LGBT community," Leno said. (23)
The United States Navy has announced they will now allow same-sex marriages to be performed in their chapels. "Consistent with the tenets of his or her religious organization, a chaplain may officiate a same-sex, civil marriage: if it is conducted in accordance with a state that permits same-sex marriage or union; and if that chaplain is, according to the applicable state and local laws, otherwise fully certified to officiate that state's marriages," said Rear Admiral Mark Tidd, the Navy's chief of chaplains. (24)
Despite being a predominantly Catholic nation, the South American country of Brazil has legalized same-sex unions. The decision by the Brazilian Supreme Court was unanimous with the vote being 10-0. (25) As the homosexual lifestyle becomes more prevalent and accepted all over the world, it becomes another sign that we are living in the end times. In Luke 17:28-30, the Scriptures tell us, " Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed."
Record Breaking Deadly Weather!
April 2011 was a month of extreme weather in the United States. There were six states - Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia - that recorded their wettest April since 1895. Meanwhile, Texas suffered from a drought that covered 95% of this large state. To make matters worse, there were 305 tornadoes from April 25-28, which killed at least 309 people. The total amount of tornadoes in the United States for the entire month of April was an astounding 875. (26)
The recent wet weather in the United States has also caused catastrophic flooding in many areas along the Mississippi River. The flooding was so bad in some sections along the river that the Army Corp of Engineers was left with no other recourse but to destroy one levee and open floodgates in other areas, which has left millions of acres of land underwater. (27)
Weather Services International is predicting the formation of fifteen tropical storms this hurricane season. Eight of those storms are expected to be of hurricane strength with at least four of them being a category-3 strength hurricane or greater. Weather forecasters have warned Americans to "expect a much more impactful season along the US coastline." (28)
There certainly seems to be an increase in deadly weather, not just in the United States, but all over the world. As we see earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and other disasters occur, it serves as a reminder of how much we need God's protection in these tumultuous times.
A Stalling Economy!
As usual, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke and his associates at the Federal Reserve are insisting that America is on the right track, and that the road to recovery is just around the bend. They keep telling us that things are getting better, but unemployment remains extremely high, the housing market is in rough shape, inflation is rising, gas prices are hovering around $4.00 per gallon, and the United States government is on the verge of defaulting on its debt if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling by August 2011.
How bad is the job market in the United States? McDonalds Corp, which is known for its cheap, unhealthy fast food, recently went on a job hiring spree and hired 62,000 new employees. The original plan called for the hire of only 50,000 employees, but what is truly shocking is the amount of people they had to turn away. Over one million people applied for jobs at McDonalds. (29)
A real estate research firm, known as Zillow, reported in May 2011 that 28.4 percent of all single-family home mortgages now have negative equity. Home loans in this condition are referred to as "underwater mortgages." (30) The city of Chicago is so desperate to get rid of their abandoned homes that they have now teamed up with Bank of America to simply donate some of the empty houses to nonprofit organizations. (31) Just think, the housing market is so bad in Chicago that they have decided to start giving homes away!
On May 16, 2011, the United States' government reached its debt ceiling of $14.29 trillion dollars. Although the country is at its debt limit, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told Congress that the government will continue to be able to pay its debts until August 2, 2011, through the use of "extraordinary measures," such as borrowing money from the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund. (32) In all likelihood, the U.S. Congress will raise the debt ceiling before we reach August 2011. However, the reality remains that the United States of America is a country that can no longer function without borrowing money. The interest payments on U.S. debt in the year 2010 exceeded 413 billion dollars. (33)
In closing, I encourage all of you to keep seeking God in these troubling times. I know there are many things wrong in this world in which we live. However, we serve a great and merciful God who will watch over us and keep us safe if we abide in His will. If you have not yet given your heart to God, I encourage you to do so now. I know that without the Lord Jesus Christ in my life, I would feel hopeless. Our Saviour has promised that He will return, and I know that God always keeps His promises. The cry of my heart truly is, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus."
Thank you to all who support this ministry. It is your kindness and generosity that allows us at Last Trumpet Ministries to do what we do. We will endeavor to keep you all informed of the current events happening in these last days and strive to improve the quality and content of each new issue of this newsletter in the subsequent months. It has been one year since we published the final issue written by my father, Pastor David J. Meyer. I know that he cannot be replaced, but I thank God and all of our readers for this opportunity to serve in his absence and work for the Lord as we grow ever closer to the glorious return of our Saviour. If you have any prayer requests, small or great, feel welcomed to send them our way. Our intercessors will give each request individual attention. We also ask you to keep us in prayer concerning a new processing center that we would like to build on property adjoining our church that my father had purchased shortly before passing on. We seek God's wisdom, grace, and blessing as we attempt to work out all of the details regarding this project. I know that if it is the Lord's will, everything will work out. Grace and peace be unto you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

A Terrible Shame

.C. teachers help their students cheat on standardized examsby J. D. Heyes

(NaturalNews) If you thought you'd heard it all regarding the sad state of public education in the U.S. today, think again. In the nation's capital, the teachers there help their students cheat on standardized exams.

A report last month said the D.C. Public Schools district is under investigation after officials discovered 14 security breaches by both students and teachers during standardized testing in April. The Office of State Superintendent ordered the investigation after throwing out test scores from three classrooms with "evidence or strong suspicion of test security violation."

"Two classrooms had possible testing irregularities and one classroom had a confirmed case of testing impropriety," Safiya Simmons, a spokeswoman for acting schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson, told the Washington Examiner.
In all, the superintendent's office is investigating 18 classrooms after evidence was found that incorrect test answers were erased and then corrected during 2010 testing. Eight of the institutions were charter schools, but 10 belonged to the chronically troubled D.C. public school system. All three of the classrooms where the tests were tossed out belonged to the D.C. district.

Naturally, the report said, D.C. public school officials had no comment about what went on in the suspect classrooms, but really - what can they say? After all, actions speak louder than words: Two teachers were forbidden from taking part in the
2011 testing and a third teacher left the school district before the investigation was finished. Moreover at the Noyes school, one teacher admitted to a violation, USA Today reported.

School spokesman Fred Lewis said none of that was related to the suspected cheating. That denial might carry some weight if this wasn't the first time the D.C. school system has been flagged for suspicious test scores.

According to
USA Today, 103 D.C. schools were flagged between 2008-2010 "for having at least one class of students with statistically high rates of wrong answers" that were erased and corrected. That's more than half the schools in the district.

Coincidence? You be the judge. At Noyes, students' passing math on the standardized tests went from 10 percent to 58 percent in a single year, earning it a National Blue Ribbon award from the U.S. Department of Education. But in 2010, during standardized testing, 80 percent of the school's classrooms were flagged for having an inordinate, suspicious amount of erasures that were replaced with correct answers.

In a separate school, seventh grade students averaged 12.7 wrong-to-right erasures, a phenom with better odds than winning the Powerball lottery, USA Today said.

And all along, the nation's large teachers unions continue to resist any real attempts at reforming
public education - such as genuine school choice - and holding teachers responsible for their actions (and for actually educating our kids).

Is it any wonder the nation's kids rank near the bottom in
comparison to students in developed nations, a development that is certainly not new.

Big Government and Big Union education clearly isn't working, and worse, many of the so-called professionals - the teachers themselves - can't be trusted.

The only real choice, if we're serious about improving our education system, is offering parents a choice in where to send their kids to school. Private schools offer better educational results and it's not just an option for rich kids only.

Every year we wait is another generation of kids we lose.


It's apparent these teachers are purposefully keeping our young people IGNORANT.  The Illuminists are aware given the opportunity youth are a force to reckon with once they figure out what's happeining to them. They hope by keeping them dumb and " uneducated" they wont have the ability to think thus with entertainment, ipods,ipads and other gadgets to keep them occupied, they wont ask questions just go merrilly along into oblivion.
My prayer is the Lord will call some out.

E.coli superbug outbreak in Germany due to abuse of antibiotics in meat production

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) The e.coli outbreak in Germany is raising alarm worldwide as scientists are now describing this particular strain of e.coli as "extremely aggressive and toxic." Even worse, the strain is resistant to antibiotics, making it one of the world's first widespread superbug food infections that's racking up a noticeable body count while sickening thousands.

Of course, virtually every report you'll read on this in the mainstream media has the facts wrong. This isn't about cucumbers being dangerous, because e.coli does not grow on cucumbers. E.coli is an intestinal strain of bacteria that only grows inside the guts of animals (and people). Thus, the source of all this e.coli is ANIMAL, not vegetable.

But the media won't admit that. Because the whole agenda here is to kill your vegetables but protect the atrocious practices of the factory animal meat industries. The FDA, in particular, loves all these outbreaks because it gives them more moral authority to clamp down on gardens and farms. They've been trying to irradiate and fumigate fresh veggies in the USA for years. (http://www.naturalnews.com/023015_f...)

Meanwhile, scientists have been cracking the code of this particular lethal strain of e.coli. Microbiologists from the University Clinic Hamburg-Eppendorf now say "A preliminary analysis pointed to possible reasons for this strain of E. coli's extreme aggressiveness and resistance to antibiotics. In addition, it can now be researched how this new type of E. coli strain developed, why the strain can spread at great speed and why the illness it unleashes is so serious." (http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/Ki...)

Complete blackout of the obvious source of this new strain

The mainstream media is predictably pretending it has no idea where this new strain came from. They're all scratching their heads and just focusing on the "killer cucumbers" which is of course a particularly lame bit of disinfo.

Want to know where this e.coli really came from? The abuse of antibiotics in factory animal farms.

Factory animal farm operations, you see, raise cattle, pigs and chickens in such atrociously bad and dirty conditions that they have to pump them full of antibiotics just to avoid the rapid spread of infection. This constant dosing with antibiotics creates the perfect breeding ground for superbugs in the guts of these animals.

Then, these animals defecate and drop billions of e.coli bacteria with their stools which are then collected and used as crop fertilizers. So the crops are actually grown in this stuff that's contaminated with animal fecal matter containing antibiotics-induced superbugs.

The veggies grown in the e.coli fertilizer then get shipped to supermarkets, where people buy the produce and fail to wash it properly. Once they consume it, the e.coli goes to work in their own guts which are largely devoid of friendly flora because many people are also on antibiotics which wipe out their own intestinal flora, creating a perfect environment for food borne infection.

That's when people start dying, you see. It's all basic cause and effect.

So, you see, antibiotics play a double role in this tragedy: They're widely abused throughout the animal ranching industry, and they're also widely abused by doctors treating human patients. And yet the media is just strangely reluctant to print this obvious fact. They almost outright refuse to tell readers the truth: E.coli superbugs are an antibiotics problem, not a vegetable problem!

What the press says about this outbreak - wow!

Some astonishing quotes from the press:

Chinese and German scientists analyzed the DNA of the E. coli bacteria and determined that the outbreak was caused by "an entirely new, super-toxic" strain that contains several antibiotic-resistant genes, according to a statement from the Shenzhen, China-based laboratory BGI. It said the strain appeared to be a combination of two types of E. coli.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4324754...

"This is a unique strain that has never been isolated from patients before," Hilde Kruse, a food safety expert at the World Health Organization, told The Associated Press. The new strain has "various characteristics that make it more virulent and toxin-producing" than the many E. coli strains people naturally carry in their intestines. Preliminary genetic sequencing suggests the strain is a never before seen combination of two different E. coli bacteria, with aggressive genes that could explain why the outbreak appears to be so massive and dangerous, the agency said.

How to protect yourself from e.coli

On the practical side, what can you do to protect yourself from e.coli contamination of vegetables? There are FOUR simple things you can do:

1) EAT LOCAL. Grow your own food and / or buy from local farmers' markets.

2) WASH YOUR VEGGIES. If you wash them well, even e.coli won't be a problem. The e.coli is only present in those veggies that aren't adequately washed.

3) TAKE PROBIOTICS. The more "friendly" bacteria you have in your gut, the less space there is for toxic e.coli to take hold. The secret truth about these infections -- that you're not being told -- is that virtually everyone infected with toxic e.coli is someone with compromised digestive flora. Taking probiotics gives you a buffer against invading nasties.

4) AVOID ANTIBIOTICS. Most antibiotics are prescribed to humans by clueless doctors who prescribe them for things like viral infections and asthma, none of which are treated in the least by antibiotics.

These four simple steps will protect nearly everyone from e.coli infections acquired through food. So why doesn't the mainstream media teach people these four simple steps? Because they're too busy blaming cucumbers, tomatoes and spinach, I guess. They're utterly ignorant of the simple dynamics of e.coli superbug mutation and propagation.

Food safety isn't rocket science, folks. It's simpler than you've been told. And it's based on the fundamental idea that you shouldn't raise cattle, hogs and chicken in dirty, inhumane conditions requiring a constant dose of chemical antibiotics just to keep them alive.
