<p style="text-align:left;">Friday, January 20, 2012 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer</p>
<p><span style="text-align:left;">(NaturalNews) Some of the most deranged and sociopathic individuals on the planet hold respected positions of authority in medicine and at institutions of higher learning, and a recent journal article in the <a class="zem_slink" title="American Medical Association" href="http://www.ama-assn.org/" rel="homepage">American Medical Association</a> (AMA)&#8217;s Journal of Ethics serves as a reminder of this disturbing reality. In the article, two doctors from Oxford University in the UK advocate forcibly injecting individuals with experimental <a class="zem_slink" title="Vaccine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine" rel="wikipedia">vaccines</a> &#8220;for the greater good of society.&#8221;</span><br style="text-align:left;" /><br style="text-align:left;" /><span style="text-align:left;">PrisonPlanet.com reports that <a class="zem_slink" title="Oxford" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.7519444444,-1.25777777778&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=51.7519444444,-1.25777777778 (Oxford)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Oxford&#8217;s</a> Susanne Sheehy, <a class="zem_slink" title="Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_of_Medicine%2C_Bachelor_of_Surgery" rel="wikipedia">BM BCh</a>, MRCP, <a class="zem_slink" title="DTM&amp;H" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DTM%26H" rel="wikipedia">DTM&amp;H</a>, and Joel Meyer, BM BCh, MRCP, together authored the paper, entitled</span><em>Should Participation in Vaccine <a class="zem_slink" title="Clinical trials" href="http://www.wikinvest.com/concept/Clinical_trials" rel="wikinvest">Clinical Trials</a> be Mandated?</em><span style="text-align:left;">. In it, the duo recommends &#8220;[c]ompulsory involvement in vaccine studies&#8221; in response to a general lack of willing volunteers, many of whom are not exactly comfortable sacrificing their bodies and their health to have a toxic brew of untested chemicals injected into them.</span><br style="text-align:left;" /><br style="text-align:left;" /><span style="text-align:left;">The totalitarian viewpoint of Sheehy and Meyer, both of whom are members of the <a class="zem_slink" title="United Kingdom" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.5,-0.116666666667&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=51.5,-0.116666666667 (United%20Kingdom)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">UK&#8217;s</a> <a class="zem_slink" title="Royal College of Physicians" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.5257861111,-0.144969444444&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=51.5257861111,-0.144969444444 (Royal%20College%20of%20Physicians)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Royal College of Physicians</a>, is nothing short of frightening. That any human being is capable of convincing himself that forcibly injecting another human being with chemicals, live viral components, and other toxins is a good idea, is a shocking anomaly in and of itself. But this scenario becomes especially disturbing when those in positions of power adopt this psychopathic viewpoint.</span><br style="text-align:left;" /><br style="text-align:left;" /><span style="text-align:left;">Clearly stated in their paper, Sheehy and Meyer believe mandatory participation in <a class="zem_slink" title="Vaccine trial" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_trial" rel="wikipedia">vaccine trials</a> is no different than requiring individuals to serve on jury duty, for instance, or to serve in the military. They also believe that forcing people to take experimental vaccines, even when such vaccines come with obvious &#8220;inherent risks,&#8221; is an individual&#8217;s required duty to give back to society.</span><br style="text-align:left;" /><br style="text-align:left;" /><span style="text-align:left;">Perhaps the most disturbing element of the paper, though, is its suggestion that &#8220;increas[ing] the severity&#8221; of diseases will help to facilitate &#8220;compulsory recruitment&#8221; into experimental vaccine trials. Deliberately creating more deadly strains of disease in order to scare people into vaccine programs, in other words, is apparently considered to be a valid approach by Sheehy and Meyer, whose passionate worship of vaccines have led them to such a preposterous notion.</span></p>
<p>A little bit of history on vaccine trials &#8212; it was revealed back in 2008 that at least 14 Argentinian children died as part of an experimental vaccine trial conducted by British pharmaceutical giant <a class="zem_slink" title="GlaxoSmithKline" href="http://www.gsk.com" rel="homepage">GlaxoSmithKline</a> <span style="color:#0000ff;">(<a href="http://www.buenosairesherald.com/article/88922/gsk-lab-fined-$1m-over-tests-that-killed-14--babies" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0000ff;">http://www.buenosairesherald.com/article/88922/gsk-lab-fined-$1m-over-tests-that-killed-14&#8211;babies</span></a>)</span><span style="text-align:left;">. Also in 2008, 21 homeless individuals in Poland died during an avian flu vaccine experiment </span><span style="color:#0000ff;">(<a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/023665_vaccine_flu_homeless.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0000ff;">http://www.naturalnews.com/023665_vaccine_flu_homeless.html</span></a>).</span></p>

Maybe because they want freedom instead of tyranny, it turns out. Because if you&#8217;re a total slave to the police state, it doesn&#8217;t really matter whether you&#8217;re on the left or the right, does it?</span><br />
<span style="color:#000000;">Here, I give you ten solid reasons why even liberals and progressives are supporting Ron Paul. And by the way, I don&#8217;t worship Ron Paul or any individual. What I honor is <strong>the principles </strong>that Ron Paul stands for &#8212; the very same principles President Obama has outright abandoned in his broken promises and disturbing reversals against the <a class="zem_slink" title="Americans" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans" rel="wikipedia">American people</a>. Out of all the candidates, only Ron Paul has the ethical and moral strength to carry out his office from a place of principle rather than betrayal.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color:#000000;">#1) Ron Paul supports decriminalizing marijuana and ending the <a class="zem_slink" title="War on Drugs" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_Drugs" rel="wikipedia">War on Drugs</a>. Obama does not.</span></h2>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Remember when Obama<em>promised</em>he would decriminalize marijuana, but now his own administration continues to raid legal drug dispensaries in California? That&#8217;s a classic Obama lie: Say one thing to get elected, then turn around and do the exact opposite.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Ron Paul, on the other hand, openly supports decriminalizing marijuana and ending the failed War on Drugs. Although he doesn&#8217;t<em>promote</em>recreational drug use (and neither do I), he understands that treating weed smokers as hard-core criminals is ethical, morally and economically wrong. See my related article on <a class="zem_slink" title="Snoop Dogg" href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/1103420-snoop_doggy_dogg" rel="rottentomatoes">Snoop Dogg</a> and his recent drug bust in Texas: </span><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/034612_Snoop_Dogg_marijuana_War_on_Drugs.html" target="_blank">http://www.naturalnews.com/034612_Snoop_Dogg_marijuana_War_on_Drugs.html</a></p>
<h2><span style="color:#000000;">#2) Ron Paul supports the freedom to choose what you eat and drink, including raw milk, but the Obama administration continues to run armed raids on raw milk farmers</span></h2>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Under Ron Paul, the <a class="zem_slink" title="Food and Drug Administration" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.0353363,-76.9830894&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=39.0353363,-76.9830894 (Food%20and%20Drug%20Administration)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">FDA</a> would be forced to end its vicious armed raids on Amish farmers and raw dairy producers. Obama has openly allowed such armed raids to continue under his watch, refusing to even take a stand for food freedom in America.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Ron Paul understands that <strong>liberty is the most important component of abundance</strong>. If you are not free to choose what you want to eat, smoke what you want to smoke, and choose your own type of medicine and health care, then you are a slave, not a citizen. Ron Paul seeks to <strong>get Big Government out of your life</strong>, away from your kitchen, out of your medicine cabinet and away from your children.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color:#000000;">#3) Ron Paul would seek to eliminate FDA censorship of the scientifically-validated health claims for herbs, <a class="zem_slink" title="Dietary supplement" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietary_supplement" rel="wikipedia">nutritional supplements</a> and natural remedies</span></h2>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Under Bush and Obama, the FDA&#8217;s continued censorship of truthful statements about medicinal herbs, homeopathy and nutritional supplements has been fully supported by the White House. Obama is just a corporate puppet, of course, and that means he does whatever the powerful corporations tell him to do &#8212; especially the Wall Street and Big Pharma corporations. So it&#8217;s no surprise he hasn&#8217;t taken a stand to support health freedom for foods and supplements.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">But Ron Paul has pushed the <strong><a class="zem_slink" title="Health freedom movement" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_freedom_movement" rel="wikipedia">Health Freedom</a> Protection Act </strong>year after year</span> (<a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/019382_Health_Freedom_Protection_Act.html" target="_blank">http://www.naturalnews.com/019382_Health_Freedom_Protection_Act.html</a>), <span style="color:#000000;">tirelessly working to<em>legalize nutrition in America</em>and restore Free Speech for Chinese Medicine herbs, <a class="zem_slink" title="Medicine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicine" rel="wikipedia">Western medicine</a> herbs and dietary supplements. Where Obama wants people to remain ignorant and malnourished, Ron Paul wants to restore your right to know the truth about supplements and natural medicine. As Ron Paul said in late 2005:</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>&#8220;The Health Freedom Protection Act will force the FDA to at last comply with the commands of Congress, the <a class="zem_slink" title="First Amendment to the United States Constitution" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" rel="wikipedia">First Amendment</a>, and the American people by codifying the First Amendment standards adopted by the federal courts. Specifically, the Health Freedom Protection Act stops the FDA from censoring truthful claims about the curative, mitigative, or preventative effects of dietary supplements, and adopts the federal court&#8217;s suggested use of disclaimers as an alternative to censorship. The Health Freedom Protection Act also stops the FDA from prohibiting the distribution of scientific articles and publications regarding the role of nutrients in protecting against disease.&#8221;</em></span></p>
<h2>#4) Ron Paul would shut down secret military prisons like Gitmo, but Obama wants to expand those prisons and fill them with Americans!</h2>
<p>It is now common knowledge that Obama lied when he said he would shut down Guantanamo Bay. As it turns out, Obama actually signed the NDAA (<a class="zem_slink" title="National Defense Authorization Act" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act" rel="wikipedia">National Defense Authorization Act</a>) on <a class="zem_slink" title="New Year" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year" rel="wikipedia">New Year</a>&#8216;s Eve (when no one would notice). The NDAA grants the U.S. government the claimed &#8220;legal&#8221; right to &#8220;indefinitely detain&#8221; U.S. citizens, throw them in secret military prisons, interrogate them and even kill them with <strong>no due process</strong>. All this can now take place without a person even being<em>charged</em>with a crime, much less given their day in court. (<a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/034537_NDAA_Bill_of_Rights_Obama.html" target="_blank">http://www.naturalnews.com/034537_NDAA_Bill_of_Rights_Obama.html</a>)</p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Obama quietly signed this bill on New Year&#8217;s Eve, hoping no one would notice. This is how low his morals have stooped, by the way &#8212; to signing traitorous bills in the dark of night, on the evening before a major holiday where half the nation is hung over from alcohol. Why no signing ceremony with full coverage by CNN, huh? Maybe it&#8217;s because national<em>traitors</em>don&#8217;t want their crimes against the <a class="zem_slink" title="The U.S. Constitution" href="http://www.history.com/topics/constitution" rel="historycom">United States Constitution</a> to be filmed on camera.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">In signing this, Obama violated his own oath of office, nullified the <a class="zem_slink" title="United States Bill of Rights" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bill_of_Rights" rel="wikipedia">U.S. Bill of Rights</a>, and essentially committed an act of mass civil rights violations against the People of America. Rep. Ron Paul, on the other hand, is one of the very few people who has openly and sternly opposed this unlawful NDAA which blatantly and arrogantly violates the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">This single point alone outweighs everything else you might think about Ron Paul. Even if you disagree with Ron Paul on other issues, none of that really matters if you&#8217;re rotting away in a secret military prison for daring to protest in a public park, for example. <strong>Without the Bill of Rights, nothing else really matters </strong>because tyranny takes over. The Bill of Rights must be defended first and at all costs. It is the only thing limiting the power of government and protecting the People from tyranny. Without it, we are all little more than slaves to a military dictatorship.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color:#000000;">#5) Ron Paul is anti-war, Obama is pro-war.</span></h2>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Remember when Bush was the President, and everybody on the left was screaming about getting us out of all those wars in the Middle East? Funny how they suddenly fell silent when Obama took over the reins from Bush and continued running those same wars, isn&#8217;t it?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Ron Paul is solidly anti-war. Although he agrees with the need to &#8220;defend our shores,&#8221; he also believes that the United States has no moral authority (nor financial stability) from which to engage in running around the world as some sort of global police force, intervening in the business of nations,<em>especially in the Middle East</em>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">He is solidly against a war with Iran even as all the other candidates seem to be almost desperate to throw<em>other people&#8217;s sons and daughters</em>onto the front lines of violent conflict. Only Ron Paul truly honors the troops by <strong>bringing them home</strong>. All the other war-mongers who say &#8220;support our troops&#8221; are really screaming, &#8220;Let our troops get killed overseas!&#8221; And unlike Gingrich, Ron Paul actually served his country as a military man, even with a child to care for:</span><br />
<a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/ron-paul-i-went-photo-going-viral-on-internet.html" target="_blank">http://www.prisonplanet.com/ron-paul-i-went-photo-going-viral-on-internet.html</a></p>
<h2><span style="color:#000000;">#6) Ron Paul&#8217;s wants to end the Fed and stop bailing out wealthy banksters, while Obama is a Wall Street sellout</span></h2>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Don&#8217;t you find it astonishing that, under the Obama administration, wall street crooks like Jon Corzine have been involved in the <strong>theft of billions of dollars </strong>from American farmers and investors, yet<em>no one has been indicted, prosecuted or criminally charged</em>for those crimes?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Under the Obama administration, white-collar crime gets a wink and a nod. That&#8217;s because people like Vice President Joe Biden actually worship Jon Corzine </span></p>
<span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="https://ephraiyim.wordpress.com/2012/01/22/10-reasons-why-even-democrats-liberals-and-progressives-are-choosing-ron-paul-over-obama/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/xm3VMrKqJSA/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Wall Street crooks were some of the largest contributors to the Obama election campaign, and they continue to promote both Obama and Mitt Romney.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Ron Paul, on the other hand, gets no support from the criminal banksters. That&#8217;s because he pledges to reign in the Fed, end the disastrous trillion-dollar bailouts and halt the theft of money from U.S. taxpayers by the wealthy elite.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Once again, this reason alone is enough of a reason to vote for Ron Paul. <strong>He&#8217;s the only candidate who doesn&#8217;t support the financial criminals on Wall Street</strong>. Maybe that&#8217;s why the crooked corporate media keeps smearing him in the news&#8230; they&#8217;re all tied in with the same crooks who run Wall Street.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color:#000000;">#7) Ron Paul does not need a teleprompter to tell you what he believes, and his message has remained consistent for over 25 years</span></h2>
<p>Obama needs a teleprompter to figure out what to say. That&#8217;s because he&#8217;s mainly a puppet who says what he&#8217;s told to say and signs what he&#8217;s told to sign (like the NDAA, which he of course promised he wouldn&#8217;t sign but did anyway).</p>
<p>Ron Paul needs no teleprompter. He doesn&#8217;t have to keep track of which lies he told in which speech to which group. That&#8217;s because Ron Paul tells the truth every time, and his message is the same whether he&#8217;s in Iowa, New Hampshire or Texas.</p>
<p>Ron Paul isn&#8217;t sexy, trendy or hip. Instead, he&#8217;s honest, reliable and ethical. Gee, those might be good qualities for leaders to possess, ya think?</p>
<h2>#8) Ron Paul is not really a Republican loyalist</h2>
<p>This should come as quite a relief to the Democrats out there. Ron Paul is really a<em>Libertarian</em>who is running on the Republican ticket thanks to the necessary mechanisms of our two-party system. Most of today&#8217;s Republicans are just as corrupt as status quo democrats. They start wars, stage false flag terror events and hand out trillions of dollars in bailouts and government contracts to their corrupt buddies.</p>
<p>Ron Paul is none of that. He&#8217;s a humble, highly intelligent and principled individual who often votes<em>against</em>his fellow Republicans on bills that run counter to the United States Constitution.</p>
<p>If Ron Paul wins as a Republican, that would of course give Republicans some additional power in Congress, but Ron Paul answers to no one other than God and the People. As all the corrupt corporate lobbyists realized long ago, <strong>Ron Paul thinks for himself </strong>and cannot be bought off, no matter how high the offer. He sticks to principles, he honors the Constitution, and he is dedicated to improving the future of our nation, period!</p>
<h2>#9) Ron Paul wants to legalize Free Speech (again)</h2>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it interesting how many of the OWS protesters are now being forced to pay daily fees for the &#8220;privilege&#8221; of protesting? Gee, I thought America was a free country, and I thought you could peaceably assemble anytime you wanted and shout your grievances to your government. Guess not: <a href="http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=FF2F1E3B23AEACE48AB3559AB17B857F" target="_blank">http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=FF2F1E3B23AEACE48AB3559AB17B857F</a></p>
<p>Now the police state pepper spraying has begun, all under Obama of course, who now wants to send Americans into secret military prisons and deprive them of their due process rights. If you believe in the First Amendment and freedom of speech, you<em>can&#8217;t</em>believe in Obama! He is the polar opposite of freedom (plus, he flat out lies a lot).</p>
<p>Ron Paul has fought for the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution for<em>decades</em>, and he has a PERFECT voting record in defending it. He does not waver. He does not bend. He fights for your freedoms in a way that no other Democrat or Republican has ever done.</p>
<p>If you want Free Speech to be legal again in America, vote for Ron Paul.</p>
<h2>#10) Ron Paul wants to criminally investigate the crooks in Washington</h2>
<p>Most Democrats and Republicans are all crooks who just cover each other&#8217;s backs. Yeah, you raped a little kid, but I stole a billion dollars from the taxpayers, and we&#8217;ll just agree to both remain silent. Sound familiar? That&#8217;s what happens in Washington D.C. almost daily.</p>
<p>Ron Paul thinks <strong>elected officials should follow the law</strong>. Shock! What a concept! Along with that, he also believes that Attorney General Eric Holder should not run guns into Mexico as part of a staged scam to blame the Second Amendment. Gasp!</p>
<p>Who else dares to say the bureaucrats in Washington are crooks who should be <strong>criminally investigated </strong>for their crimes against the People? You won&#8217;t find status quo officials pursuing any of this, of course, because<em>they&#8217;re all corrupt!</em></p>
<p>Only Ron Paul stands out above the lawless corruption and criminal-mindedness of the status quo in Washington D.C. He is the &#8220;anti-insider,&#8221; the one man who actually threatens the entire corrupt system (which is why the press smears him every single day). This is why the recent voting in Iowa was falsified and rigged to make sure Ron Paul wouldn&#8217;t win (this was openly admitted by the Republican leaders on local radio). The crooks in Washington absolutely do not want Ron Paul to become President, and that alone should be sufficient reason to put Ron Paul into office!</p>
<h2>You want real hope? Real change? Support Ron Paul</h2>
<p>If you love the way things are today &#8212; unemployment on the rise, a government drowning in debt, soldiers coming home in body bags, your friends and neighbors rotting in prison after getting caught with a little weed &#8212; then vote for Obama! He&#8217;s happy to carry on the insane policies that have led us to this point in history.</p>
<p>But if you want<strong>real change</strong>in America, support Ron Paul.<strong>Make a donation today</strong>, so that he can raise the necessary funds to clobber &#8220;Mittens&#8221; Romney and win the Republican nomination. Then we&#8217;ll have a faceoff between Barack Obama and Ron Paul, and there&#8217;s no question Paul would win that contest if the voters still have a couple of brain cells functioning when they go to vote.</p>

<p><span style="color:#000000;">Cyberg, Tennessee—<a class="zem_slink" title="The Reverend" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Reverend" rel="wikipedia">The Reverend</a> McBilly Osfeiser strode to the rostrum of of the Full Bible Perfect Word Baptist Church, a frame building reeking of plainess and Protestantism. He was a tall man, with the sharp facial planes and hard visage of a desert patriarch about to kill something. The congregation shrank in their pews. He was a man who brooked no sin, and no sinners, whom he consigned to eternal damnation, and thought they were getting off light. He looked fiercely about, and spoke:</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">“Brethren, I come before you to preach the word of God, for these be evil times, and the children of Israel, and yea the parents and grandparents, even unto their heirs and assigns, are sore beset by the tribe of Mohammed, and Beelzebulb, and Luciferin and Luciferase. In the name of God we must gird our loins, whatever exactly gird means, and smite the followers of Allah, and suffer them not to live, neither child nor mother with child nor suckling babe. Their lands shall be accursed and nothing there shall prosper, neither tares nor the wild ass; thus saith the Lord God, the God of Israel , the god of love and mercy.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">“Today we shall begin our sermon with the story of Samsung and Delilah, in the book of Hezechiah, chapter fourteen, verses nine through twenty-seven, in the reign of <a class="zem_slink" title="Agrippa I" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrippa_I" rel="wikipedia">Herod Agrippa</a>. In that time Israel was sore beset by the Malachites and the Catamites, even the Stalactites and Stalagmites, and the Assyrians of Kng Areopagitica with many chariots threatened the city of Solomon. But Samsung spent three days and three nights fasting and praying, and sacrificed a sheep, and it was good in the eyes of the Lord. In the morning he went forth and slew them all, cutting through them with sling and samothrace as one scything wheat until not a Stalagmite was left standing. saving the city.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">“Today, brethren, we of Christ face the same test of our faith. In Afghanistan, as we speak, the Mohammedan <a class="zem_slink" title="Taliban" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taliban" rel="wikipedia">Taliban</a> build mighty forces which they will use to conquer all of Christendom and enslave us, having gotten here mysteriously.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">“The powers of the darkness are many and patient, and the Mohammedan awaits to make our wives and daughters into harem slaves. It is well said that if we do not slew them there, or perhaps slay them, they will slew us here, or a slew of them will slay a slew of us there, maybe here, or they will&#8230;whatever. Remember the second book of Malthusians, when Chay-suss expelled the Gadarene Swine from the woman afflicted with leprosy, “Rebus sic stantibus,” he said. “<a class="zem_slink" title="Carthago delenda est" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carthago_delenda_est" rel="wikipedia">Carthago delenda est</a>,” which is the Latin for “Get the back whence thou camest, and thy towel.”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">“I urge you, brethren, to support our Christian troops who with magnificent courage are killing the heathen with drones strikes from thousands of feet while sitting in Colorado. To those weak in faith, who say that we are killing innocent women and children, I say unto ye, women are the source of all Taliban and thus must be military targets. If we destroy arms factories, should we not destroy Taliban factories? As the mighty warrior Jay-suss would want, we will smite them, and leave them bleeding and dying, and wailing over their broken children, blinded and crushed and burned, that they might learn to walk in the ways of righteousness.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">“And now, brethren, I want to introduce you to one of our own warriors for Christ, Willy Bill Bedford, who is just back from the heathen land of Afghanistan, and wounded—wounded, brethren!&#8211;smiting the in-fiddle for Jay-suss. Willy Bill, will you come up and testify?”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Willy Bill was a big, chunky kid with a sloping forehead you could have used to bank a turn in a motorcycle race, and about every other tooth was missing so he looked like a piano keyboard. His left arm was in a cast. “Willy Bill,” shouted Reverend Osfeiser, “Tell your brothers and sisters in Jay-suss how you been doing the Lord&#8217;s work.”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Willy Bill seemed uncomfortable but he sort of scrunched up his courage and said, “Yeah, well. OK, Reverend. Well, we was out in Litani Province and there was twelve of us in a Humvee with &#8217;bout a thousand rounds each of seven-six-two and a sack full of <a class="zem_slink" title="Holy Bible: 10th Anniversary Edition" href="http://www.amazon.com/Holy-Bible-Manic-Street-Preachers/dp/B000666VKQ%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzemanta-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000666VKQ" rel="amazon">Bibles</a> an&#8217;&#8230;”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">The reverend roared, “And tell the brethren why you had Bibles, the inerrant perfect word of God, with you!”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">“Oh, yeah. We belong to Bible Spreaders, we try to bring Moslems to know Jesus, you know. BS is real important to us, so we always&#8230;.”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">“You hear that? Bringing souls to God!”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">“Well, we came to Awali, that&#8217;s this village, maybe three hundred sand-nig—Taliban and their kids, all dirty and livin&#8217; in mud huts because they don&#8217;t love Jesus and the kids there beg for something to eat because they don&#8217;t know that beggin&#8217; ain&#8217;t right. Well, we told them to get away and smacked them around a little because they might be suicide bombers, you know, and you could just tell the grown-ups hated us for our religion and our freedoms and all, and then we heard a rifle go off. Well, they ain&#8217;t supposed to have rifles. So the lieutenant called in a air strike and a couple of sixteens came in, and whoom, they just smacked the livin&#8217; dog-snot out of those fuckers and&#8230;..”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">“Now, Willy Bill, don&#8217;t be using language like that. Do you think Jay-suss talked that way? It&#8217;s a sin.”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">“I&#8217;m sorry, Reverend. I won&#8217;t do it again. I don&#8217;t want to commit no sin. Anyway, it was a good strike, killed almost everybody although a few was left screamin&#8217; and makin&#8217; a fuss and women was huggin&#8217; kids or what was left, I mean, how much sense does that make? I guess they learned their lesson. So we went through and left Bibles on top of some of the dead ones so whoever found them would come to Jesus and then I fell off the Humvee and broke my arm.”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">At which the Reverend McBilly Osfeiser shouted, “Hosannah! Praise the Lord! While we have sat here, living a life of ease, Willy Bill, Cyburg&#8217;s own Willy Bill, has smote the in-fiddles, and saved our precious daughters from being in harems, though perhaps not in back seats, and saved our holy Tennessee, where we are free and snakes have handles and the God of Wrath rules as he did with Noah in the Sinai!”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">I need a drink.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:left;">By <a title="Posts by Kevin Carson" href="http://baltic-review.com/author/kec/" rel="author">Kevin Carson</a> <span style="color:#000000;">| 14.01.2012 | 0:37 ET in Europe</span></p>
<h5><span style="color:#000000;">The <a class="zem_slink" title="The States" href="http://www.history.com/topics/states" rel="historycom">US</a> <a class="zem_slink" title="United States Department of Defense" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8709888889,-77.0559611111&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=38.8709888889,-77.0559611111 (United%20States%20Department%20of%20Defense)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Department of Defense</a> recently promulgated a new “defense” guidance document: “Sustaining US Global Leadership: Priorities for 21st Century Defense.” I use scare quotes because it just doesn’t seem quite right to use “defense” to describe a document that — like its predecessors — envisions something like an American <a class="zem_slink" title="Nazi Germany" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=52.5166666667,13.4&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=52.5166666667,13.4 (Nazi%20Germany)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Thousand-Year Reich</a></span></h5>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Baltic DOD" src="http://baltic-review.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/defense-470x254.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="254" /></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">The greatest shift in emphasis is in the section “<a class="zem_slink" title="Power projection" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_projection" rel="wikipedia">Project power</a> despite Anti-Access/Area Denial Challenges.” The “threat” to be countered is that China and Iran “will continue to pursue asymmetric means to counter our power projection capabilities.”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">That refers to a long-standing phenomenon: What Pentagon analysts call ”<a class="zem_slink" title="Assassin’s Mace" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin%E2%80%99s_Mace" rel="wikipedia">Assassin’s Mace</a>” weapons — cheap, agile weapons that render expensive, high-tech, weapons systems ineffective at a cost several orders of magnitude cheaper than the <a class="zem_slink" title="Pentagon" href="http://www.history.com/topics/pentagon" rel="historycom">Pentagon’s</a> gold-plated turds. In the context of “area denial,” they include cheap anti-ship mines, surface-to-air missiles, and anti-ship missiles like the Sunburn (which some believe could destroy or severely damage aircraft carriers).</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Thus the Pentagon defines as a “threat” a country’s ability to defend itself effectively against attack or to prevent an enemy from putting offensive forces into place to attack it. Yes, you read that right: To the American national security establishment, it’s considered threatening when you prepare to defend yourself against attack by the United States. It’s the perspective of a Family Circus character: ”Mommy, he hit me back!” That kind of double standard is pretty common in the National Security State’s assessment of the world.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">What can one say of a situation in which America runs a military budget equal to the rest of the industrialized world put together, maintains military bases in half the countries around the globe, routinely intervenes to overthrow governments, rings China with military bases — then solemnly announces that China’s military establishment is “far larger than called for by its legitimate defensive needs?”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Considering that the U.S. considers its “legitimate defensive needs” to encompass outspending the other top ten military powers in the world combined and maintaining the ability to preemptively attack any other country in the world, it’s hard to guess what the Pentagon’s criterion is for determining China’s “legitimate defensive needs.” But it’s safe to say “legitimate” defensive forces don’t extend to the ability for China to defend its territory against attack from the main actual threat facing it: A global superpower trying to turn China’s neighborhood into a battlefield.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">And how about attacking Saddam for “making war on his own neighbors” – when the U.S. actively supported his invasion of Iran in the 1980s? Not to mention the U.S. Marines waltzing in and out of most of America’s Caribbean “neighbors” throughout the middle of the 20th century. Did they have “incubator babies” in Nicaragua and Costa Rica back in the 1930s?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">To Washington, any country capable of resisting American attack, or of ”defying” American commands (whether under a UN Security Council figleaf or not) is by definition a “threat.” And any country inflicting significant losses on U.S. military forces, in the process of defending itself against <a class="zem_slink" title="United States Armed Forces" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Armed_Forces" rel="wikipedia">American military</a> attack, is guilty of aggression (against U.S. attempts to “defend our freedom,” one presumes).</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">American perceptions of “self-defense” and “aggression” are as distorted as those of Nazi Germany. When the only way you can “defend yourself” against another country’s “threat” is to go to the other side of the world to fight it, because it lacks the logistical capability to project military force more than a few hundred miles outside its own borders — and the main “threat” is its ability to fight back when you attack it — you know something’s pretty messed up.</span></p>

<p><img src="http://blog.imva.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/clip_image0021.jpg" alt="image" width="410" height="273" /></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">An estimated 350,000 people in the <a class="zem_slink" title="The States" href="http://www.history.com/topics/states" rel="historycom">United States</a> are living with multiple sclerosis (MS), a <a class="zem_slink" title="Pain" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain" rel="wikipedia">painful</a>, debilitating, and sometimes fatal disorder of the <a class="zem_slink" title="Central nervous system" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_nervous_system" rel="wikipedia">central nervous system</a>, and the United States government could care less and would doom this population to more suffering than can be imagined. A long list of ugly words comes to mind when one thinks of any person, organization or institution that would keep helpful and safe medicines away from MS sufferers.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">MS is the most common debilitating neurological disease of young people, often appearing between the ages of 20 and 40, and affecting more women than men. Symptoms vary considerably from person to person; however, the one most frequently noted is <a class="zem_slink" title="Spasticity" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spasticity" rel="wikipedia">spasticity</a>, which causes pain, spasms, loss of function, and difficulties in nursing care.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">MS exacerbations appear to be caused by abnormal immune activity that causes inflammation and the destruction of myelin, the protective covering of nerve fibers, in the brain or spinal cord. MS most frequently presents at onset as a relapsing and remitting disorder, where symptoms come and go. Current <a class="zem_slink" title="Treatment of multiple sclerosis" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treatment_of_multiple_sclerosis" rel="wikipedia">treatment of MS</a> is primarily based on symptoms, focusing on such problems as spasticity, pain, fatigue, bladder problems and depression.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Anecdotal reports and a small controlled study have reported that <a href="http://www.safeaccessnow.org/article.php?id=4558#note26"><span style="color:#000000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">cannabis improved spasticity and, to some extent, improved tremor in MS patients</span></strong></span></a>. Many studies of the pharmacology of cannabis have identified effects on motor systems of the central nervous system that have the potential of affecting tremor and spasticity. A recent carefully controlled study of the efficacy of <a class="zem_slink" title="Tetrahydrocannabinol" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrocannabinol" rel="wikipedia">THC</a> in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, the animal model of MS, demonstrated significant amelioration of these two MS symptoms. Moreover, <strong>cannabis has demonstrated effects on immune function that also have the potential of<span style="text-decoration:underline;">reducing the autoimmune attack</span> that is thought to be the underlying pathogenic process in MS</strong>.<a id="_ednref1" title="" name="_ednref1" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn1"></a>[1]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>MS patients report that cannabis has a startling and <span style="text-decoration:underline;">profound effect on <a class="zem_slink" title="Spasm" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spasm" rel="wikipedia">muscle spasms</a>, tremors, balance, bladder control, speech and eyesight</span>. Many wheelchair-bound patients report that they can walk unaided when they have smoked cannabis</strong>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">A <a class="zem_slink" title="House of Lords" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.4988055556,-0.124861111111&amp;spn=0.005,0.005&amp;q=51.4988055556,-0.124861111111 (House%20of%20Lords)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">House of Lords</a> report states that the British Multiple Sclerosis Society (consisting of some 35,000 MS-suffering patients) estimates that as many as 4% of their population already use cannabis for the relief of their symptoms despite the considerable legal risks associated with prohibition. The chairman of the committee went on to state that, “We have seen <strong>enough evidence to convince us that a doctor might legitimately want to prescribe cannabis to relieve… the symptoms of multiple sclerosis and that the criminal law ought not to stand in the way</strong>.”</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Numerous case studies, surveys and <a class="zem_slink" title="Blind experiment" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_experiment" rel="wikipedia">double-blind studies</a> have reported improvement in patients treated with cannabinoids for symptoms including spasticity,<a id="_ednref2" title="" name="_ednref2" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn2"></a>[2],<a id="_ednref3" title="" name="_ednref3" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn3"></a>[3],<a id="_ednref4" title="" name="_ednref4" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn4"></a>[4] chronic pain, tremor, sexual dysfunction, bowel and bladder dysfunctions, vision dimness, dysfunctions of walking and balance (ataxia), and memory loss.<a id="_ednref5" title="" name="_ednref5" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn5"></a>[5],<a id="_ednref6" title="" name="_ednref6" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn6"></a>[6],<a id="_ednref7" title="" name="_ednref7" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn7"></a>[7]<a class="zem_slink" title="Cannabinoid" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid" rel="wikipedia">Cannabinoids</a> have been shown in animal models to measurably lessen MS symptoms and may also halt the progression of the disease.<a id="_ednref8" title="" name="_ednref8" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn8"></a>[8]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">A recent British survey of MS patients found that <strong>43 percent of respondents used cannabis therapeutically</strong>. Among them, nearly three quarters said that cannabis mitigated their spasms, and more than half said it alleviated their pain. A survey published in August 2003 in the <em>Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences</em> reported that <strong>96 percent of Canadian MS patients believe that cannabis is therapeutically useful for treating the disease</strong>. Of those who admitted using cannabis medicinally, the majority found it to be beneficial, particularly in the treatment of chronic pain, spasticity, and depression.<a id="_ednref9" title="" name="_ednref9" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn9"></a>[9]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">A U.K. study published recently in the journal <em>Lancet</em> looked at 630 multiple sclerosis patients after 15 weeks of orally delivered treatment. <strong>Fifty-seven percent of the patients taking a whole cannabis extract said their pain had eased</strong> compared with 50% who took capsules containing THC and 37% who were given placebo capsules.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Scientists have long been exploring the potential of cannabinoids to inhibit neurodegeneration. A 2003 study that the American MS Society calls “interesting and potentially exciting” demonstrated that cannabinoids were able to slow the disease process in mice by offering neuroprotection against EAE.<a id="_ednref10" title="" name="_ednref10" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn10"></a>[10] After analyzing the findings, authors at London’s Institute of Neurology concluded, “In addition to symptom management,<strong>cannabis may also slow down the neurodegenerative processes that ultimately lead to chronic disability in multiple sclerosis and probably other diseases</strong>.”<a id="_ednref11" title="" name="_ednref11" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn11"></a> [11]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Over 40 medicines are listed by the Multiple Sclerosis Society as commonly used by MS patients. Drugs commonly prescribed for muscle spasticity and tremor include Klonopin, Dantrium, Baclofen (Medtronic), Zanaflex and Valium. Klonopin (Clonazepam) and Valium (diazepam) are both benzodiazepines, central nervous system (CNS) depressants manufactured by Roche. <strong>Overdoses of these medications, especially when taken with alcohol, may lead to unconsciousness and death.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">These drugs frequently cause people to become drowsy, dizzy, lightheaded, clumsy, or unsteady. Other common side effects include slurred speech, abdominal cramps or pain, blurred vision or other changes in vision, changes in sexual drive or performance, gastrointestinal changes, including constipation or diarrhea, dryness of mouth, fast or pounding heartbeat, muscle spasm, trouble with urination, and trembling. Studies in animals have shown that clonazepam and diazepam can cause birth defects or other problems, including death of the animal fetus. Overuse of clonazepam during pregnancy may cause the baby to become dependent on it and it may pass into breast milk and cause drowsiness, slow heartbeat, shortness of breath, or troubled breathing in nursing babies. By comparison, the side effects associated with cannabis are typically mild and are classified as “low risk.” Euphoric mood changes are among the most frequent side effects.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Some doctors are exceptionally dense when it comes to using medical marijuana. Dr. Jacqueline Friedman would rather inject botulinum toxin injections instead.<a id="_ednref12" title="" name="_ednref12" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn12"></a>[12] In 2009 the National Multiple Sclerosis Society released recommendations on marijuana as a treatment for MS, stating, “Although it is clear that cannabinoids have a potential for both management of MS symptoms such as pain and spasticity, as well as for neuroprotection, it cannot yet be recommended because … studies to date do not demonstrate a clear benefit compared to existing symptomatic therapies and… issues of side effects, systemic effects and long-term effects are not yet clear.”</span></p>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">Magnesium and MS</span></h3>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Although the cause remains officially unknown, multiple sclerosis is widely thought to begin as an autoimmune<strong>inflammation with magnesium deficiency at the core</strong>. In studies it’s been shown that there was a significantly lower value of magnesium than that seen in control cases. The most marked reduction of magnesium content was observed in CNS white matter including demyelinated plaques of MS samples.<a id="_ednref13" title="" name="_ednref13" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn13"></a>[13]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.magnesiumforlife.com/"><span style="color:#000000;">Magnesium</span></a> protects the cells from aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium and nickel. Evidence is mounting that low levels of magnesium contribute to the heavy metal deposition in the brain that precedes Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s. Research has shown that the symptoms of MS are very similar to mercury poisoning.<a id="_ednref14" title="" name="_ednref14" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn14"></a>[14] Mercury contamination is one major cause of inflammation in our bodies.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>The rate of relapse in multiple sclerosis was found to be<br />
decreased with dietary <a href="http://imva.info/index.php/2010/04/magnesium-oil/"><span style="color:#000000;">magnesium supplementation</span></a>.<a id="_ednref15" title="" name="_ednref15" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn15"></a>[15]</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Magnesium deficiency causes and underpins chronic inflammatory syndrome. Inflammation is the missing link to explain the role of magnesium in many pathological conditions. Dr. Mazur says, “Magnesium deficiency contributes to an exaggerated response to immune stress and oxidative stress is the consequence of the inflammatory response.” Magnesium deficiencies feed the fires of inflammation and pain and it is magnesium that modulates cellular events involved in inflammation.<strong> </strong><strong>Increases in extracellular magnesium concentration cause a decrease in the inflammatory response</strong> while reduction in the extracellular magnesium results in cell activation.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>Magnesium is central to immunocompetence and<br />
plays a crucial role in natural and adaptive immunity.</em><a id="_ednref16" title="" name="_ednref16" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn16"></a>[16]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">MS sufferers have a wide variety of symptoms that often begin rather abruptly and proceed at a highly variable and unpredictable pace. Common early symptoms include numbness, pins and needles sensations, incoordination, weakness especially in the legs, painful loss of vision in one eye, double vision, dizziness, pain at various sites, urinary symptoms and impotence. Symptoms of MS that are also symptoms of magnesium deficiency include muscle spasms, weakness, twitching, muscle atrophy, an inability to control the bladder, nystagmus (rapid eye movements), hearing loss, and osteoporosis.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;"><em>What is essential to remember about treating pain with<br />
magnesium is it treats both the symptom and the cause of pain.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Researchers have found oral magnesium therapy effective on patients with multiple sclerosis. In one formally reported case a 35-year-old woman suffered with severe spastic paraplegia resulting from multiple sclerosis (MS). A significant improvement in the spasticity was found after only one week from the onset of the treatment on the modified Ashworth scale, an improvement in the range of motion and in the measures of angles at resting position in the lower limbs.<a id="_ednref17" title="" name="_ednref17" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn17"></a>[17]</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Nystagmus is characterized by an involuntary movement of the eyes, often noted as a shaky or wiggly movement and has been directly tied to magnesium deficiencies. People with MS also have higher rates of epilepsy than controls. Epilepsy has also been linked to magnesium deficiencies. Without doubt magnesium supplementation accompanied by pH control via diet and the use of sodium bicarbonate will do wonders for not only multiple sclerosis patients but also Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease sufferers.</span></p>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">Iodine</span></h3>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">The relatively low prevalence of multiple sclerosis in Japan, despite its temperate latitude, has puzzled many researchers. We know though that their soils have some of the world’s highest known levels of <a href="http://iodine.imva.info/"><span style="color:#000000;">iodine</span></a> caused by the use of seaweed as a fertilizer. Deficiencies of this essential trace element appear to be associated with many diseases, or birth defects, including goiter, cretinism, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and cancer of the thyroid and nervous system. People with MS may also have low levels of selenium or of glutathione peroxidase, an enzyme produced from selenium. A theory explaining the pathogenesis of MS concerns an increased stickiness of cellular plasma membranes, hampering normal vascular function of the brain. In agreement with that theory researchers have found significantly lowered selenium values and lowered glutathione peroxidase activities.<a id="_ednref18" title="" name="_ednref18" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn18"></a>[18]</span></p>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">MS and Mercury Exposure</span></h3>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">The central nervous system is extremely sensitive and reacts to a combination of factors that allopathic doctors don’t normally consider or address. Toxic exposures, nutritional deficiencies and emotional anguish converge most pointedly on the nervous system with often catastrophic results. Toxic substances such as mercury, which the body is chronically exposed to, accumulates in the brain, pituitary gland, CNS, liver, kidneys, etc. and <strong>can damage, inhibit, and cause imbalances at very low levels of exposure</strong>. Heavy metals can cause major neurological, immunological, and metabolic damage.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Each individual will be seen to have their own unique combination of neurological, endocrine, and enzymatic imbalances along with autoimmunities that result from the above factors. Symptoms will vary resulting in different diagnoses: multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), or Parkinson’s disease (PD), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and even rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Dental amalgam is documented by medical studies and medical lab tests to be the largest source of both inorganic and methyl mercury in most people who have several mercury amalgam fillings. Very low levels of exposure have been found to seriously affect individuals who are immune sensitive to toxic metals, or have an inability to detoxify metals due to deficient sulfoxidation or metallothionein function or other inhibited enzymatic processes related to detoxification or excretion of metals.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Amalgam exposures are commonly above government health guidelines. This is due to continuous vaporization of mercury from amalgam in the mouth, along with galvanic currents from mixed metals in the mouth that deposit the mercury in the gums and oral cavity. Mercury is one of the most toxic substances in existence and is known to bioaccumulate in the body of people and animals that have chronic exposure.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">A large epidemiological study of 35,000 Americans by the National Institutes of Health, the nation’s principal health statistics agency, found that <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">there was a significant correlation between having a greater than average number of dental amalgam surfaces and having chronic conditions such as epilepsy, MS, or migraine headaches</span></strong>. MS clusters in areas with high metals emissions from facilities such as metal smelters have been documented.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Mercury has been found to accumulate preferentially in the brain, major organs, hormone glands, and primary motor function related areas involved in ALS—such as the brain stem, cerebellum, rhombencephalon, dorsal root ganglia, and anterior horn motor neurons, which enervate the skeletal muscles.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Exposure to mercury and magnesium deficiencies are at the root of inflammation. Chelation of mercury will relieve many of the problems caused by it and restoring magnesium levels will protect our cells from the inflammation that mercury causes. Magnesium is a necessary factor in chelation, for without it chelation will not be successful.<a id="_ednref19" title="" name="_ednref19" href="http://blog.imva.info/medicine/multiple-sclerosis#_edn19"></a>[19] Heavy metals like cadmium, lead, and mercury compete with nutritional magnesium, keeping it from availability to protect our cells. The healthy cell wall favors intake of nutrients and elimination of waste products and this is one of the reasons magnesium is so important in detoxification and chelation.</span></p>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">MS Seen through a Vascular Surgeon’s Eyes</span></h3>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Dr. Paolo Zamboni, a former vascular surgeon and professor at the University of Ferrara in northern Italy, has come upon an entirely new idea about what causes MS and how to treat it. He found that scientists who had studied the brains of MS patients had noticed higher levels of iron in their brain, not accounted for by age. The iron deposits had a unique pattern, often forming in the core of the brain, clustered around the veins that normally drain blood from the head. No one had ever fully explained this phenomenon, considering the excess iron a toxic byproduct of the MS itself. Using Doppler ultrasound, Dr. Zamboni began examining the necks of MS patients and found that almost 100 percent of the patients had a narrowing, twisting or outright blockage of the veins that are supposed to flush blood from the brain. He then checked these veins in healthy people, and found none of these malformations. Nor did he find these blockages in those with other neurological conditions.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">What was astounding was that not only was the blood not flowing out of the brain, it was “refluxing” or reversing and flowing back upwards. Zamboni dubbed the vein disorder he discovered CCSVI, or chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency, and began publishing his preliminary research in neurology journals. He soon found that the severity of the vein blockages corresponded to the severity of the patient’s symptoms. Patients with only one vein blocked usually had milder forms of the disease; those with two or more damaged veins had more severe illness.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">If key veins of MS patients are blocked, perhaps we can open them and restore normal blood flow? Yes doctors use balloons to open up blocked arteries that feed blood from the heart but there are many natural treatments that can help, such as using niacin and different enzymes as well as removing the heavy-metal buildups with chelation.</span></p>

Researchers believe that these naturally found cannabinoids could create immune suppression. Much like steroids, but with fewer side effects, cannabinoids can &#8220;switch off&#8221; a portion of the immune response and bring down inflammation and hyperactivity of immune cells, possibly preventing or slowing some of the damage caused to the myelin by immune cells. The cannabinoids do this by interacting with the receptors on specific immune cells.<a href="http://ms.about.com/b/2009/05/19/chemical-in-marijuana-to-slow-multiple-sclerosis.htm"><span style="color:#000000;">http://ms.about.com/b/2009/05/19/chemical-in-marijuana-to-slow-multiple-sclerosis.htm</span></a></span></div>

Given the variable and subjective results of cannabis findings thus far, the clear cognitive negative effects, and given that there are alternative treatments for spasticity and pain, including muscle relaxants, botulinum toxin injections, anti-epileptics, and tricyclics, which can be carefully measured and dosed, I see no current place for medical marijuana in our armamentarium at this time.” Her peer review comment to a study showing the benefits of cannabis treatment in MS. <a href="http://www.clinicalcorrelations.org/?p=2688"><span style="color:#000000;">http://www.clinicalcorrelations.org/?p=2688</span></a></span></p>

Another reason would be the part it plays in glutathione production but undoubtedly, as Dr. Haley indicates, the Mg-ATP provides the crucial energy to remove each toxicant. A magnesium ion is an atom that is missing two electrons, which makes it search to attach to something that will replace its missing electrons so it is actively and directly involved in diminishing heavy metal toxicity. Magnesium appears to be a competitive inhibitor of lead and cadmium. An increased level of magnesium has been shown to eliminate lead and cadmium through the urine and has also been reported to reduce the toxic effects of aluminum.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:left;">In 2011, the protester so upset the prevailing order of things that <a class="zem_slink" title="Time (magazine)" href="http://www.time.com/" rel="homepage">Time magazine</a> named her (or him, as the case may be) its <a class="zem_slink" title="Person of the Year" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Person_of_the_Year" rel="wikipedia">Person of the Year</a>. Recently, protesters in <a class="zem_slink" title="China" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.0,105.0&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=35.0,105.0 (China)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">China</a>, <a class="zem_slink" title="Russia" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=55.75,37.6166666667&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=55.75,37.6166666667 (Russia)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Russia</a> and <a class="zem_slink" title="Yemen" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=15.35,44.2&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=15.35,44.2 (Yemen)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Yemen</a>, to name a handful, went on the streets voicing opposition to the kinds of barefaced injustices that feature in human life in every corner of the globe.<br />
In Yemen, <a class="zem_slink" title="Reuters" href="http://www.reuters.com" rel="homepage">Reuters</a> reports, troops loyal to the country’s President Ali Abdullah fired on demonstrators, killing at least nine. In China, meanwhile, an uprising is under way against land grabs in <a class="zem_slink" title="Guangdong" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=23.3333333333,113.5&amp;spn=1.0,1.0&amp;q=23.3333333333,113.5 (Guangdong)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Guangdong province</a> pursuant to so-called “liberalisation policies begun in 1979.” However different the situations in China and Yemen, the demonstrations represent attempts of peaceful society to assert itself against and to repel the aggression of the state — “the political means.”<br />
The state is fundamentally a way for organized groups of robbers and exploiters to control valuable resources. It has always been thus, but rather than simply acknowledging its own criminality, the state drapes its continuing mission of deprivation and violence in the robes of “public service.” Giveaways of land, cultivated and therefore owned for generations by, for example, small farmers, are granted the imprimatur of “free enterprise” and “liberalization.” Similarly, turning the military loose on unarmed citizens is defended with the language of social tranquility and respect for the rule of law. With the social upheaval and brutality that dominates the news today, the “law and order” <a class="zem_slink" title="Justification for the state" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justification_for_the_state" rel="wikipedia">justification for the state</a> has grown ever more untenable, even preposterous. In 1970, advancing a more scholarly understanding of anarchism, James J Martin argued that there was “little justification” for the idea of anarchism as “a doctrine of destruction.” Martin explained that “a program of pure negation or obstructionism” is no “more than faintly related” to anarchism, which indeed sets forth in its literature a positive vision for a stateless future.<br />
Individualist or market anarchism, contrary to flimsy caricatures, has never meant advocacy for disorder or for a society without substantive rules for conduct, one pushed into — in Hobbes’ words — a war of all against all. It is instead the state that has made war pass for society, a war that pits the privileged few against the productive many.<br />
The protests materializing around the world in this moment are a reaction, consciously or not, to the chaos bred by political authority. If the state is in fact meant to build the conditions of law and order, then we have to wonder why we live in a world covered by states like Yemen and China, ruled by people like <a class="zem_slink" title="Vladimir Putin" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Putin" rel="wikipedia">Vladimir Putin</a>.<br />
Though depicted as utopians, obsessed with pie in the sky daydreams, or as bomb-throwing provocateurs of pandemonium, <a class="zem_slink" title="Anarchism" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism" rel="wikipedia">anarchists</a> petition simply for a society in which freedom is the guiding principle. Granted, on its own, that doesn’t mean much, but without aggression against innocents, the state could not exist.<br />
Without the state, we would still be left with lots of questions, forced to deal with the logistical requirements of abstractions like justice, but we’d be closer — significantly so. And maybe that’s enough of a hope for the new year 2012, that we gnaw away even more at the systems of authority that oppress us and defile our communities.</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/40-hard-questions-that-the-american-people-should-be-asking-right-now">The Economic Collapse</a> </strong><br />
<em>December 29, 2011</em></p>
<p>If you spend much time watching the mainstream news, then you know how incredibly vapid it can be.  It is amazing how they can spend so much time saying next to nothing.  There seems to be a huge reluctance to tackle the tough issues and the hard questions.  Perhaps I should be thankful for this, because if the mainstream media was doing their job properly, there would not be a need for the <a class="zem_slink" title="Alternative media" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_media" rel="wikipedia">alternative media</a>.  Once upon a time, the mainstream media had a virtual monopoly on the dissemination of news in the <a class="zem_slink" title="The States" href="http://www.history.com/topics/states" rel="historycom">United States</a>, but that has changed.  Thankfully, the Internet in the United States is free and open (at least for now) and people that are hungry for the truth can go searching for it.  Today, an increasing number of Americans want to understand why our economy is dying and why our national debt is skyrocketing.  An increasing number of Americans are deeply frustrated with what is going on in <a class="zem_slink" title="Washington, D.C." href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8951111111,-77.0366666667&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=38.8951111111,-77.0366666667 (Washington%2C%20D.C.)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Washington D.C.</a> and they are alarmed that we seem to get closer to becoming a totalitarian police state with each passing year.  People want real answers about our foreign policy, about our corrupt politicians, about our corrupt financial system, about our shocking moral decline and about the increasing instability that we are seeing all over the world, and they are not getting those answers from the mainstream media. If the mainstream media will not do it, then those of us in the alternative media will be glad to tackle the tough issues.  The following are 40 hard questions that the American people should be asking right now….</p>
<p><strong>#1</strong> If Iran tries to shut down the <a class="zem_slink" title="Strait of Hormuz" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=26.5666666667,56.25&amp;spn=1.0,1.0&amp;q=26.5666666667,56.25 (Strait%20of%20Hormuz)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">Strait of Hormuz</a>, what will that do <a title="to the price of oil" href="http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/news/1112/gallery.2012-financial-apocalypse/2.html" target="_blank">to the price of oil</a> and what will that do to the global economy?</p>
<p><strong>#2</strong> If Iran tries to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, will the United States respond <a title="by launching a military strike" href="http://af.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idAFTRE7BR0K220111228" target="_blank">by launching a military strike</a> on Iran?</p>
<p><strong>#3</strong> Why is the <a class="zem_slink" title="Federal Reserve System" href="http://www.federalreserve.gov/" rel="homepage">Federal Reserve</a> <a title="bailing out Europe" href="http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2011/12/federal-reserves-unauthorized-massive.html" target="_blank">bailing out Europe</a>?  And why are so few members of Congress objecting to this?</p>
<p><strong>#4</strong> The U.S. dollar has lost well <a title="over 95 percent" href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/10-things-that-would-be-different-if-the-federal-reserve-had-never-been-created" target="_blank">over 95 percent</a> of its value since the Federal Reserve was created,  the U.S. national debt is more than 5000 times larger than it was when the Federal Reserve was created and Federal Reserve Chairman <a class="zem_slink" title="Ben Bernanke" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/ben-bernanke" rel="huffingtonpost">Ben Bernanke</a> has a track record of incompetence that is absolutely <a title="mind blowing" href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/say-what-30-ben-bernanke-quotes-that-are-so-stupid-that-you-wont-know-whether-to-laugh-or-cry">mind blowing</a>.  So what possible justification is there for allowing the <a title="Federal Reserve" href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/category/federal-reserve">Federal Reserve</a> to continue to issue our currency and run our economy?</p>

<p><strong>#6</strong> Why are European banks parking<a title="record-setting amounts of cash" href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/45802572" target="_blank">record-setting amounts of cash</a> at the <a class="zem_slink" title="European Central Bank" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=50.1095,8.674&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=50.1095,8.674 (European%20Central%20Bank)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">European Central Bank</a>?  Is this evidence that banks don’t want to lend to one another and that we are on the verge of a massive credit crunch?</p>
<p><strong>#7</strong> If the European financial system is going to be just fine, then why is the <a class="zem_slink" title="Government of the United Kingdom" href="http://www.number10.gov.uk/" rel="homepage">UK government</a> <a title="preparing feverishly" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2079184/UK-prepares-emergency-measures-euro-collapse.html?ITO=1490" target="_blank">preparing feverishly</a> for the collapse of the euro?</p>
<p><strong>#8</strong> What did the head of the IMF mean when she recently said that we could soon see conditions “<a title="reminiscent of the 1930s depression" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/financial-panic-sweeps-europe-as-the-head-of-the-imf-warns-of-a-1930s-depression" target="_blank">reminiscent of the 1930s depression</a>“?</p>
<p><strong>#9</strong> How in the world can Mitt Romney <a title="say with a straight face" href="http://thehill.com/video/campaign/201489-romney-says-universal-healthcare-is-a-conservative-principle" target="_blank">say with a straight face</a> that the individual health insurance mandate that he signed into law as governor of Massachusetts was based on “conservative principles”?  Wouldn’t that make the individual mandate in Obamacare “conservative” as well?</p>
<p><strong>#10</strong> If the one thing that almost everyone in the Republican Party seems to agree on is that Obamacare is bad, then why is the candidate <a title="that created the plan" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/16-reasons-why-mitt-romney-would-be-a-really-really-bad-president" target="_blank">that created the plan</a> that much of Obamacare was based upon leading in so many of the polls?</p>
<p><strong>#11</strong> What did Mitt Romney mean <a title="when he stated" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=CFtUO-z-r48" target="_blank">when he stated</a> that he wants “to eliminate some of the differences, repeal the bad, and keep the good” in Obamacare?</p>
<p><strong>#12</strong> If no Republican candidate is able to accumulate at least 50 percent of the delegates by the time the Republican convention rolls around, will that mean that the Republicans will have a<a title="brokered convention" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/the-new-republican-primary-rules-make-it-possible-for-the-republican-establishment-to-steal-the-nomination-from-a-candidate-they-dont-like" target="_blank">brokered convention</a> that will enable the Republican establishment to pick whoever they want as the nominee?</p>
<p><strong>#13</strong> Why are middle class families being taxed into oblivion while the big oil companies receive<a title="about $4.4 billion" href="http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/2011-05-12-oil-industry-tax-breaks_n.htm" target="_blank">about $4.4 billion</a> in specialized tax breaks a year from the federal government?</p>
<p><strong>#14</strong> Why have we allowed the “too big to fail” banks to become <a title="even larger" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2067359/Revealed-The-secret-1-2-TRILLION-bailout-given-banks.html?ito=feeds-newsxml" target="_blank">even larger</a>?</p>
<p><strong>#15</strong> Why has the United States had a negative trade balance <a title="every single year" href="http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/statistics/historical/gands.pdf" target="_blank">every single year</a> since 1976?</p>
<p><strong>#16</strong> Back in 1970, 25 percent of all jobs in the United States were manufacturing jobs. Today, <a title="only 9 percent" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/30-reasons-why-2011-is-going-to-be-another-crappy-year-for-americas-middle-class" target="_blank">only 9 percent</a> of all jobs in the United States are manufacturing jobs.  How in the world could we allow that to happen?</p>
<p><strong>#17</strong> If the United States has lost an average of 50,000 <a title="manufacturing jobs" href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/how-can-america-create-wealth-if-our-industrial-base-is-destroyed-50000-manufacturing-jobs-have-been-lost-every-month-since-2001" target="_blank">manufacturing jobs</a> a month since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, then why don’t our politicians do something about it?</p>
<p><strong>#18</strong> If you can believe it, <a title="more than 56,000" href="http://www.politifact.com/ohio/statements/2011/nov/07/betty-sutton/betty-sutton-says-average-15-us-factories-close-ea/" target="_blank">more than 56,000</a> manufacturing facilities in the United States have permanently closed down since 2001.  So exactly what does that say about our economy?</p>
<p><strong>#19</strong> Why was the new Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial on the National Mall <a title="made in China?" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/12/martin-luther-king-memorial_n_925341.html" target="_blank">made in China?</a>Wasn’t there anyone in America that could make it?</p>
<p><strong>#20</strong> If low income jobs now account for <a title="41 percent" href="http://www.businessinsider.com/america-middle-class-in-decline-2011-4#-6" target="_blank">41 percent</a> of all jobs in the United States, then how are we going to continue to have a vibrant middle class?</p>
<p><strong>#21</strong> Why do <a title="the poor are getting poorer" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/29-amazing-stats-which-prove-that-the-rich-are-getting-richer-and-the-poor-are-getting-poorer" target="_blank">the poor just keep getting poorer</a> in the United States today?</p>
<p><strong>#22</strong> How can the Obama administration be talking about an “economic recovery” when <a title="48 percent" href="http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/12/15/9461848-dismal-prospects-1-in-2-americans-are-now-poor-or-low-income" target="_blank">48 percent</a> of all Americans are either considered to be “low income” or are living in poverty?</p>
<p><strong>#23</strong> Why has the number of new cars sold in the U.S. declined <a title="by about 50 percent" href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/getting-worse-40-undeniable-pieces-of-evidence-that-show-that-america-is-in-decline">by about 50 percent</a> since 1985?</p>
<p><strong>#24</strong> How can we say that we have a successful national energy policy when the average American household will spend a whopping <a title="$4,155" href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/45727242" target="_blank">$4,155</a> on gasoline by the end of this year?</p>
<p><strong>#25</strong> Why does it take gigantic mountains of money to get a <a title="college education" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/35-shocking-facts-that-prove-that-college-education-has-become-a-giant-money-making-scam" target="_blank">college education</a> in America today?  According to <a title="the Student Loan Debt Clock" href="http://www.finaid.org/loans/studentloandebtclock.phtml" target="_blank">the Student Loan Debt Clock</a>, total student loan debt in the United States will surpass the 1 trillion dollar mark in early 2012.  Isn’t there something very wrong about that?</p>
<p><strong>#26</strong> Why do about a third of all U.S. states allow borrowers who don’t pay their bills <a title="to be put in jail" href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/12/13/388303/the-return-of-debtors-prisons-thousands-of-americans-jailed-for-not-paying-their-bills/" target="_blank">to be put in jail</a>?</p>
<p><strong>#27</strong> If it costs tens of billions of dollars to take care of all of the illegal immigrants that are already in this country, why did the Obama administration go around Congress and grant “<a title="backdoor amnesty" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/barack-obama-cannot-get-congress-to-pass-amnesty-for-illegal-immigrants-so-now-he-is-just-going-to-ram-it-down-our-throats-any-way-that-he-can" target="_blank">backdoor amnesty</a>” to the vast majority of them?  Won’t that just encourage millions more to come in illegally?</p>
<p><strong>#28</strong> Why are gun sales setting <a title="new all-time records" href="http://edition.cnn.com/2011/12/27/us/record-gun-sales/index.html?eref=rss_topstories&amp;utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_topstories+%28RSS%3A+Top+Stories%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader" target="_blank">new all-time records</a> in America right now?</p>
<p><strong>#29</strong> Why are very elderly women <a title="being strip-searched" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/9-examples-of-elderly-americans-being-strip-searched-or-sexually-molested-by-tsa-agents-at-u-s-airports" target="_blank">being strip-searched</a> by TSA agents at U.S. airports?  Does that really keep us any safer?</p>
<p><strong>#30</strong> The last words of Steve Jobs were “<a title="Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow." href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204552304577115051424219634.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_MIDDLETopOpinion" target="_blank">Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.</a>“  What did he mean by that?</p>
<p><strong>#31</strong> How in the world did scientists in Europe decide that it was a good idea for them to create a new “<a title="killer bird flu" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/will-the-newly-created-killer-bird-flu-someday-be-used-as-a-bio-terror-weapon-to-reduce-the-population" target="_blank">killer bird flu</a>” that is very easy to pass from human to human?</p>
<p><strong>#32</strong> If our founding fathers intended to set up a limited central government, then why does the federal government just continue to get <a title="bigger and bigger?" href="http://www.kitco.com/ind/Turk/turk_jul112011.html" target="_blank">bigger and bigger?</a></p>
<p><strong>#33</strong> Are we on the verge of an absolutely devastating <a title="retirement crisis" href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/25-bitter-and-painful-facts-about-the-coming-baby-boomer-retirement-crisis-that-will-blow-your-mind">retirement crisis</a>?  On January 1st, 2011 the very first of the Baby Boomers started to reach the age of 65.  Now <a title="more than 10,000 Baby Boomers" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/in-2011-the-baby-boomers-start-to-turn-65-16-statistics-about-the-coming-retirement-crisis-that-will-drop-your-jaw" target="_blank">more than 10,000 Baby Boomers</a> will be turning 65 every single day for the next two decades.  So where in the world are we going to get all the money we need to pay them the retirement benefits that we have promised them?</p>
<p><strong>#34</strong> If the federal government stopped all borrowing today and began right at this moment to repay the U.S. national debt at a rate of one dollar per second, it would take <a title="over  440,000 years" href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/17-national-debt-statistics-which-prove-that-we-have-sold-our-children-and-grandchildren-into-perpetual-debt-slavery" target="_blank">over 440,000 years</a> to pay off the U.S. national debt.  So does anyone out there actually still believe that the U.S. national debt will be paid off someday?</p>
<p><strong>#35</strong> If the U.S. economy is getting better, then why are an all-time record 46 million Americans now on food stamps?</p>
<p><strong>#36</strong> How can we say that we have the greatest economy on earth when we have a child poverty rate that is more than twice as high as France and <a title="one out of every four" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/29/us/29foodstamps.html" target="_blank">one out of every four</a> American children is on food stamps?</p>
<p><strong>#37</strong> Since 1964, the reelection rate for members of the U.S. House of Representatives <a title="has never fallen below 85 percent" href="http://www.opensecrets.org/bigpicture/reelect.php" target="_blank">has never fallen below 85 percent</a>.  So are the American people really that stupid that they would keep sending the exact same <a title="Congress critters" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/you-wont-believe-these-statistics-which-show-how-corrupt-lazy-and-stinking-rich-our-congress-critters-have-become" target="_blank">Congress critters</a> back to Washington D.C. over and over and over?</p>
<p><strong>#38</strong> What does it say about our society that <a title="nearly one-third" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2076173/US-youth-crime-revealed-THIRD-young-adults-arrested-23.html" target="_blank">nearly one-third</a> of all Americans are arrested by the time they reach the age of 23?</p>
<p><strong>#39</strong> Why do so many of our politicians <a title="think that it is a good idea" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/30-signs-that-the-united-states-of-america-is-being-turned-into-a-giant-prison" target="_blank">think that it is a good idea</a> to allow the U.S. military to arrest American citizens on American soil and indefinitely detain them without a trial?</p>
<p><strong>#40</strong> A <a title="new bill" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/why-we-must-stop-sopa" target="_blank">new bill</a> being considered by the U.S. House of Representatives would give the U.S. government power to shut down any website that is determined to “engage in, enable or facilitate” copyright infringement.  Many believe that the language of the new law is so vague that it would allow the government to permanently shut down any website that even links very briefly to “infringing material”.  Prominent websites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube would be constantly in danger of being given a “death penalty”.  The American people need to ask their members of Congress this question: Do you plan to vote for <a title="SOPA" href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/why-we-must-stop-sopa" target="_blank">SOPA</a> (The Stop Online Piracy Act)?  If the answer is yes, that is a clear indication that you should never cast a single vote for that member of Congress ever again.</p>
<p>So do you have answers to some of the questions posted above?</p>
