Well, I took Rob Davis's advice and attended the book signing of 'One World Democracy' last Friday night here in Asheville. One of the authors, Byron Belitsos gave a great talk and I got a copy for myself. The other author, Jerry Tetalman was not present.

I was thrilled to meet Rob and his very lovely wife there, as well as some very lovely friends of theirs.

So far, I have only read the Preface of the book and I'm so impressed with it that I'm going to write it here to give you all a taste of it, as you might want to order a copy for yourselves. It's a little long, but not too. Here goes, enjoy! Your Friend, Debralee


One World Democracy--Preface

"We have it in our power to begin the world over again."

---Thomas Paine---Common Sense 1776

This book is an introduction to the greatest political transformation in history--the democratic revolution to create enforceable global law.

This epochal change in human affairs will put an end, once and for all, to the war system that is the greatest scourge facing mankind.

In this revolution, ordinary people will take control of this planet from those who foment war and profit from war, and who permit environmental destruction.

This will be a movement of optimists and visionaries, those who are ready to seize the opportunity to reinvent our world, ready to leave behind the cynics whose only contribution is to maintain the status quo.

In this movement, world peace is not a vague and utopian goal--but a practical, enduring peace that is acheived through world laws that are passed by democratic world legislature, interpreted by world courts, and enforced by a global government that represents all of humanity, high and low, north and south, black and white.

We truly can create "the parliment of the world, the government of mankind" as the English poet Tennyson prophetically envisioned in the nineteenth century. The time for this historic task is upon us, now in the tweny-first century.

This global peace and justice movement is already well under way. Worldwide demostrations like the historic "global day of protest" against the US invasion of Iraq on Febuary 15, 2003 are just one sign.

Yet something more than rejectionism is needed from our progressive leaders. These times require a positive and practicle vision for how to solve international conflicts; how to relieve global poverty; and how to end the physical destruction of our preciuos planet.

We therefore ask you to imagine a world peace movement focused on making the United Nations, or some successor, into a truly representative government for all humanity.

Imagine a global legislature or world parliment whose first order of business is the abolition of war.

Envision a world court whose routine work is to apply global law to individuals, rather than punishing entire nations for the crimes of their leaders.

Visualize a planetary bill of rights that is zealously guarded, and a constitutional balance of power that prevents excesses by any branch of the world government.

Reflect on the satisfaction of living peacefully under the rule of global law where there is -less- government, -lower- taxes, -better- distribution of resorces, -no- nuclear weapons, -open- borders, - less- environmental destruction, -no- imperial domination, -no- military-industrial complex, -more- security, -more- justice for labor and minorities--and a global renaissance in the arts, science, religion, and culture.

And imagine yourself a part of this, the greatest political movement ever to occur.

We the people of planet earth are the sovereigns of our destiny; if we stand together, we can build a just and democratic government of humankind that will abolish war forever, and work together with all nations to solve the other pressing problems facing our fragile planet. It really can be that simple--and that exhilarating.

This book is directed especially at progessives and visionary leaders in all walks of life who care deeply about global justice, reduction of poverty worldwide, and the protection of the planet's environment--but especially those who are working for world peace.

In our view, today's world peace movement is too often marked by a naive utopianism that confuses human nature with angelic nature. Angels can live in peace without law and government--but humans cannot. In our all-too-human world, peace without justice is an illusion--an uneasy truce until the next war comes along, such as the intractable Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Global justice, we argue, is simply not achievable without the establishment of law by an elected legislature in combination with judicial institutions that interpret and apply the law. And courts of law are almost useless without enforcement mechanisms-- the notorios impotence of the UN being a case in point. Those who aspire for world peace really have no choice but to work for the achievement of enforcable global law.

"There is no peace without justice, no justice without law, and no law without government"--according to the formula of the United World Federalists of the late 1940's. The decades since then have only affirmed the truth of this old activist slogan. A great day is coming when the world's peace movement and social justice progressives will once again embrace this crucial syllogism; and that is the day when we will become empowered to end war and ecocide. Only then will there be an end to the military dominance of America and a genuine solution to terrorism. Only then can we really tackle the dauntiing problems of global pollution and grinding poverty.

Let us use the twenty-first century to create the end of war--not the end of humankind. To abolish war we will need enforceable global law-- the expansion of civilization to a planetary scale. This book invites you on a lifelong journey to the achievement of plantary peace and prosperity. Let's get there by working to build one world democracy.

The following is the forwarding message. I feel horrible seeing this.

As many of you may already know, the USDA has a viscious animal-hating division, "wildlife services" and, fortunately, the New York Times recently ran a quick blurb on how this department, Orwellian-named "Wildlife Services" is killing MILLIONS of animals. I'm attaching the article, but -- dave (and friends) - is there any way you can post the contact information where people who see your web page can call the USDA and protest? (Ps. included in the recent Wildlife Survey was a recommendation to kill a minimum of 9,000 NYC pigeons)

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON, Sept. 10

(AP) - The government killed more than 2.7 million "nuisance" animals last year, including starlings, black bears, coyotes and wolves, mainly because they threatened livestock or crops.

The number of deaths, one million more than in 2003, drew criticism.

"Wildlife Services killed more than five animals per minute in 2004," said Wendy Keefover-Ring, a spokeswoman for Sinapu, a Colorado advocacy group for predators.

The program is the responsibility of Wildlife Services, an Agriculture Department program. "Lethal means is something that we do as a final resort," said a Wildlife Services spokesman, Dan Perry.

Mr. Perry said the department helped landowners and others take measures to keep creatures out.

I recently sent another batch of material to George Young. I enclosed a personal letter yet again covering issues of health, energy resources, ICNIRP and the responsibilities of local / national government. I also wrote about Agnes' dilemma (she has a copy of that). I didn't expect much by way of a reply, so was pleased to receive the following :

Thank you for your letter, enclosing the literature from Mast Sanity.

It makes a powerful case for a review of the planning regulations, and I have sent a copy of your letter to Yvette Cooper, the Minister for Planning, to see whether the Government has any plans to review their guidance in the light of the evidence that you refer to.

I will let you know how I get on.

I am not sure whether we have a debate at the main Party Conference on this, but I am pretty sure it will be raised at one of the many fringe meetings.

Hartz IV: Hausbesuche und Anrufaktionen bei Arbeitslosengeld-II-Beziehern (10.10.05)

Angesichts einer "Kostenexplosion" bei der Arbeitsmarktreform "Hartz IV" plant Bundeswirtschaftsminister Wolfgang Clement (SPD) offenbar verstärkte Hausbesuche und Anrufaktionen. Nach dem Plan soll offenbar vor allem kontrolliert werden, ob Leistungsbezieher in eheähnlichen Verhältnissen wohnen und daher von ihrem Partner unterstützt werden müssten. Außerdem sollen die Behörden die Daten aller Arbeitslosengeld-II-Bezieher in einer Telefonaktion überprüfen. Auch ein Datenabgleich mit den Finanzämtern und verschärfte Kontrollen der Arbeitsbereitschaft durch Trainingsprogramme mit Anwesenheitspflicht seien geplant, berichteten die "Berliner Zeitung" und das Nachrichtenmagazins "Focus". Außerdem wolle Clement verhindern, dass etwa junge Arbeitslose nur aus dem Elternhaus ausziehen, um mehr Sozialleistungen zu erhalten.

Die Vorschläge von Bundeswirtschaftsminister Wolfgang Clement (SPD), Hartz-IV-Betroffene mit Hausbesuchen, telefonischen Kontrollen und Datenabgleichen mit den Finanzämtern zu behelligen, stoßen bei den kleinen Bundestagsparteien auf Kritik. Nach Auffassung der Bundestagsabgeordneten Petra Pau (Linkspartei) verkomme die Agentur für Arbeit dann zur "Agentur gegen Arbeitslose". Erst hätten Millionen Betroffene ihren Arbeitsplatz verloren, dann wurden sie gedemütigt, nun sollen sie verfolgt werden. Das sei die Quintessenz rot-grüner Arbeitsmarktpolitik. Der schwache Staat zeige Stärke. Zustimmung zu dem Maßnahmenpaket kam vom Städte- und Gemeindebund.

I don't know how it is in the Netherlands or other countries, but I do know that at least in one of Haifa's hospitals, people with neurological problems are sent to other departments because the neurological department is completely exloding with people complaints on symptoms, this has never been in the past, as I was told by one of the nurses.

In one hospital in Tel Aviv there are 4 floors of parking lot only for people going to chemotherapy, and oncologists informed to the public through newspapers (two months ago) that if there wouldn't be additional radiations equipments in hospitals soon, then they would have to send people abroad to do the radiations.

This sounds a really good development. The information circulated in terms of a cloud with very different signal structures is a very sound reminder that it isn't just the amount that matters, and that it is different from all the other sources. We are constantly told that mobile phone masts can't be bad because so much other radiation is TV, radio, taxis etc. (Operators here delight in taking measurements and showing phones as a few spikes in a very wide spectrum.)

More important is the reminder on responsibility. I still press the argument on "the ethics of doubt": in so many other matters, even slight doubts with such potential consequences drive greater response. But now I gather in the UK the argument is "cost per life", a principle governing the WHO "precautionary approach". It's all OK so long as not too many people die as a result.

And who decides the price of life, the acceptable number? Today our Parliament debated the issue of assisted suicide for people dying in the greatest distress and pain. One of our leading bishops argues forcefully that no life can be taken in any circumstance, and that even the person themselves cannot decide on life. Yet here we have church steeples with masts and antennae transmitting this slow killer, and it is OK so long as too many people do not die.

Yes, an international European group with the same message, the senior scientists with their collective doubts, and real pressure on ethics and responsibility. Maybe more as-yet uninformed people would respond to the force of a European movement. Maybe economies of scale would enable our resources to achieve more.

You used to be able to count on 'up' being 'down,' 'black' being 'white,' 'yes' meaning 'no' and of course, their opposites, but not any more. I have to be amazed at the condemnation of the way all levels of government had responded in the aftermath of the breaching of the government-made levees in New Orleans. ... I think we have recently been witness to not one, but two terrific examples of government disaster response working perfectly -- exactly as designed. In the 9-11 instance we have found out that inter-agency turf wars and petty squabbles kept fairly precise information forewarning the devilish deed from moving into the hands of anyone who would investigate further and/or act upon it. ... In New Orleans, we find that sheer stupidity combined with corruption and complacency led to the disastrous consequences that filled the news hour, until the propaganda media used the onslaught of Rita to wipe New Orleans right off the front page and into the recesses of the public's collectivist mind...

Whenever the world is not to his liking, President Bush has a tendency to turn to the military to make it better. The most prominent example is the country's response to 9/11, complete with wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. After Hurricane Katrina, Bush belatedly called on the military to assist in securing New Orleans, and has since suggested that Congress should consider empowering the military to be the 'first responders' in any national disaster. On Tuesday, the president suggested that the United States should confront the risk of a bird flu pandemic by giving him the power to use the US military to quarantine 'part[s] of the country' experiencing an 'outbreak.' So we have moved quickly in the past month, at least metaphorically, from the global war on terror to a proposed war on hurricanes, to a proposed war on the bird flu. Of all these proposals, the use of the military to attempt to contain a flu pandemic on US soil is the most dangerous...

Liberty Unbound

[W]hat's most interesting about this whole sorry mess is the reaction of the American people. Virtually nobody put any blame on the government for the flooding, even though damage would have been almost trivial if government had acted in anything like a prudent fashion during the century prior to the flood. Instead, people -- especially media and politicians -- blamed the government for failing to respond quickly enough and with enough money. On one level, this makes a certain amount of sense: after all, government did fail to provide any meaningful help, and even retarded private efforts. A hurricane is no longer perceived as an 'act of God.' It is now seen as an act of government. But think about it for a minute: why on earth should you expect the perpetrator of such a disaster to provide timely and meaningful relief? (for publication 11/05)

For the first time in his presidency, George W. Bush faces a widespread conservative revolt. Nothing he has done before -- not McCain-Feingold, not steel tariffs, not his failure to veto excessive spending, not even last year’s proposed amnesty for illegal immigrants -- has provoked as hostile a reaction on the right as the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court. ... Yet if Bush is becoming a lame duck, it signals an opportunity rather than an ending for conservatives. It is time to contemplate life after Bush and to rethink our movement’s independent identity...

In the 1960s, during the Vietnam era, the radicals of Students for a Democratic Society vowed to 'bring the war home.' It was meant as a threat: that they would visit the same destruction on the U.S. that American troops were visiting on Vietnam. In the present age, however, it is George W. Bush and war supporters in both parties who have brought the Iraq war home -- as evidenced by the recent terrorist threat to New York City. According to the local authorities, the plot involves 15 to 20 suicide bombers carrying backpacks or pushing baby carriages on New York City subway lines. A memo just now being made public says remote-controlled or timed explosive devices are involved. Three people have already been arrested -- not in the U.S., but in Iraq...

Tom Brokaw's mega best seller, The Greatest Generation, struck a powerful chord throughout our nation. The reason why is because we as Americans today sense that we have lost something very profound, something elemental and essential that shaped the grit of our forefathers in earlier times, something that we have let slip away through indolence and intellectual treason to the Founders' vision for our country. Our instincts are quite correct. What we have lost, and what the early generations of the 20th century possessed, is that heroic sense of life born of a golden age forged from 19th century values that were handed down from stoic parents to stalwart sons and daughters throughout the 20's and 30's. What the members of the World War II generation possessed was that steel-willed belief in America as earth's Eldorado with a divine destiny. This is something that today's country club conservatives and Brat Pack liberals know absolutely nothing about...

Bad Zwesten. "Am Ende war keine Frage mehr offen", so beschrieb Bürgermeister Michael Köhler die Atmosphäre beim runden Tisch in Sachen Mobilfunk. Mehr als drei Stunden saßen Vertreter von Bürgerinitiative (BI), Gemeinde, Kirchenvorstand und Kliniken am Donnerstag mit einem Vertreter der Firma Vodafone zusammen.

Nicht nur Bad Zwestens Bürgermeister war mit dem Gespräch zufrieden. Auch Hans Eitle von der BI bezeichnete den runden Tisch als "durchaus konstruktiv".

Vodafone-Sprecherin Tanja Vogt betonte, dass ihr Unternehmen derzeit keinen konkreten Standort für eine Mobilfunksendeanlage im Auge habe. Auch seien bisher keine Gespräche mit Haus- oder Grundstücksbesitzern geführt worden. Vodafone plant im kommenden Sommer eine UMTS-Sendeanlage in Bad Zwesten zu errichten.

Die ursprünglich für den 14. Oktober geplante Bürgerversammlung findet nicht statt, teilte Bürgermeister Michael Köhler mit. Zunächst soll ein unabhängiger Gesundheitsexperte über das Thema Strahlenbelastung und Mobilfunk informieren. Anschließend soll das Thema bei einer Bürgerversammlung diskutiert werden. Auf dem Podium sollen dann Vertreter aller beteiligten Gruppen zu Wort kommen dürfen.

Termine dafür ständen jedoch noch nicht fest. Laut Köhler bemüht sich die Gemeinde, die Terminkalender der Referenten möglichst schnell mit einander abzugleichen. Beide Veranstaltungen sind für November geplant.

Kontakte zu unabhängigen Experten stellte unter anderem die Bürgerinitiative her. "Die BI hat uns ihre Hilfe angeboten", berichtete Köhler. Gerne würde die Gemeinde von den fachkundigen Informationen profitieren.

Der Bürgerinitiative läge bereits umfangreiches Material zu den Themen Gesundheitsvorsorge und Strahlenbelastung durch Mobilfunk vor. Diese ergaben sich durch Kontakte zu anderen Gruppen, die teils erfolgreich gegen den Bau von Mobilfunksendeanlagen gekämpft haben.

Ebenfalls keine weiteren Mobilfunkmasten möchten 32 Ärzte in Bad Zwesten haben. Mit einem Appell an Politiker schlossen sich die Mediziner den Forderungen und Bedenken der Bürgerinitiative an. Die Ärzte betonten, dass Hinweise auf die Gesundheitsgefahren durch Hochfrequenzstrahlung zunehmen würden und nicht länger ignoriert werden dürften. (CLM)

A ROW could break out between a church and its primary school over plans to erect a mobile phone mast on top of the church tower.

Fund-raisers fighting to save the crumbling tower at St Thomas Parish Church in St Annes thought their prayers had been answered when a bid by mobile giant Orange was recommended to be approved.

But Ted Dempsey, acting headteacher at St Thomas Primary School, today voiced concerns over health fears surrounding the masts. He said: "Obviously our main concern and interest is for the health and safety of the children. We are currently taking advice on any issues that this could present for us or if it could harm our pupils. "The problem has been discussed at a meeting of the school governors and it was decided we needed to seek guidance on the matter.

"We are a church school and of course we want to support the church. However, we have to first consider the health and safety of pupils."

Health groups have raised concerns about the safety of mobile masts in recent years but there has been no firm evidence to prove the transmitters are dangerous.

St Thomas Parish Church, which was built more than 100 years ago, has battled for eight years to find a way of keeping the tower after stonework became eroded and unsafe and the tower had to close. Last year, the fund-raisers thought they had hit a dead end after being turned down for a Heritage Lottery Grant and applied to demolish the tower.

But the plan was met with concern from residents and the demolition plans were rejected by Fylde Council, which wanted the landmark preserved.

Earlier this year, a company representing mobile telephone giant Orange approached the church with the offer of placing a mast on top of the tower – effectively paying for the £260,000 cost of the upgrade work through an upfront fee and an annual rent.

The Rev Peter Law-Jones, the vicar at St Thomas, said: "I understand people have concerns, but I hope people understand we are acting in good faith for the good of the church and the community.

"We have taken our own advice and have been told that because of the height of the church tower the impact would be non-existent. "This will hopefully secure the future of the church, which, if it were to close, would be a massive loss to the community."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven
http://omega.twoday.net/search?q=Microwave+Cooking

By Stephanie Relfe B.Sc. (Syd.)

Microwave cooking is one of the most important causes of ill health. It is certainly one of the most ignored.

There was a lawsuit in 1991 in Oklahoma. A woman named Norma Levitt had hip surgery, but was killed by a simple blood transfusion when a nurse "warmed the blood for the transfusion in a microwave oven!"

Logic suggests that if heating is all there is to microwave cooking, then it doesn't matter how something is heated. Blood for transfusions is routinely warmed, but not in microwave ovens. Does it not therefore follow that microwaving cooking does something quite different?

A little evidence of the harm caused by microwaving cooking was given by the University of Minnesota in a radio announcement:

"Microwaves ... are not recommended for heating a baby's bottle. The bottle may seem cool to the touch, but the liquid inside may become extremely hot and could burn the baby's mouth and throat... Heating the bottle in a microwave can cause slight changes in the milk. In infant formulas, there may be a loss of some vitamins. In expressed breast milk, some protective properties may be destroyed.... Warming a bottle by holding it under tap water or by setting it in a bowl of warm water, then testing it on your wrist before feeding, may take a few minutes longer, but it is much safer".

There have been very few scientific studies done on the effect of eating food microwaved food. This is rather surprising when you think about the fact that microwaves have been with us for only a few decades - and that in that time the incidence of many diseases has continued to increase.

Two researchers, Blanc and Hertel, confirmed that microwave cooking significantly changes food nutrients. Hertel previously worked as a food scientist for several years with one of the major Swiss food companies. He was fired from his job for questioning procedures in processing food because they denatured it. He got together with Blanc of the Swiss Federal Institute of Biochemistry and the University Institute for Biochemistry.

They studied the effect that microwaved food had on eight individuals, by taking blood samples immediately after eating. They found that after eating microwaved food, haemoglobin levels decreased. "These results show anaemic tendencies. The situation became even more pronounced during the second month of the study".

Who knows what results they would have found if they had studied people who ate microwaved food for a year or more?

The violent change that microwaving causes to the food molecules forms new life forms called radiolytic compounds. These are mutations that are unknown in the natural world. Ordinary cooking also causes the formation of some radiolytic compounds (which is no doubt one reason why it is better to eat plenty of raw food), but microwaving cooking causes a much greater number. This then causes deterioration in your blood and immune system.

In addition, they found that the number of leucocytes increases after eating microwaved food - something which haematologists take very seriously, because this is often a sign of highly harmful effects, such as poisoning.

Also, after eating microwaved food, cholesterol levels increased. Hertel said "Common scientific belief states that cholesterol values usually alter slowly over longer periods of time. In this study, the markers increased rapidly after the consumption of the microwaved vegetables." He believes his study tends to confirm new scientific data that suggest cholesterol may rapidly increase in the blood secondary to acute stress. "Also," he added, "blood cholesterol levels are less influenced by cholesterol content of food than by stress factors. Such stress-causing factors can apparently consist of foods which contain virtually no cholesterol - the microwaved vegetables."

The results were published in "Search for Health" in the Spring of 1992. How was this research greeted? A powerful trade organisation, the Swiss Association of Dealers for Electroapparatuses for Households and Industry somehow made the President of the Court of Seftigen issue a `gag order'. Hertel and Blanc were told that if they published their findings they would face hefty fines or up to one year in prison. In response to this, Blanc recanted his findings. Hertel, on the other hand, went on a lecture tour and demanded a jury trial.

FINALLY, in 1998 the Court `Gag Order' was removed. In a judgment delivered at Strasbourg on 25 August 1998 in the case of Hertel v. Switzerland, the European Court of Human Rights held that there had been a violation of Hertel's rights in the 1993 decision. The Court decided that the `gag order' prohibiting him form declaring that microwaved food is dangerous to health was contrary to the right to freedom of expression. In addition, Switzerland was sentenced to pay compensation of F40,000.

In Summary: Blanc and Hertel found that eating microwaved food:

* Increases cholesterol
* Increases white blood cell numbers
* Decreases red blood cell numbers
* Causes production of radiolytic compounds (compounds unknown in nature)

RUSSIANS BAN MICROWAVE OVENS

After the World War II, the Russians also experimented with microwave ovens. From 1957 up to recently, their research has been carried out mainly at the Institute of Radio Technology at Klinsk, Byelorussia. According to US researcher William Kopp, who gathered much of the results of Russian and German research - and was apparently prosecuted for doing so (J. Nat. Sci, 1998; 1:42-3) - the following effects were observed by Russian forensic teams:

1. Heating prepared meats in a microwave sufficiently for human consumption created:

* d-Nitrosodiethanolamine (a well-known cancer-causing agent)
* Destabilization of active protein biomolecular compounds
* Creation of a binding effect to radioactivity in the atmosphere
* Creation of cancer-causing agents within protein-hydrosylate compounds in milk and cereal grains;

2. Microwave emissions also caused alteration in the catabolic
(breakdown) behavior of glucoside - and galactoside - elements within frozen fruits when thawed in this way;

3. Microwaves altered catabolic behavior of plant-alkaloids when raw, cooked or frozen vegetables were exposed for even very short periods;

4. Cancer-causing free radicals were formed within certain trace-mineral molecular formations in plant substances, especially in raw root vegetables;

5. Ingestion of micro-waved foods caused a higher percentage of cancerous cells in blood;

6. Due to chemical alterations within food substances, malfunctions occurred in the lymphatic system, causing degeneration of the immune system=s capacity to protect itself against cancerous growth;

7. The unstable catabolism of micro-waved foods altered their elemental food substances, leading to disorders in the digestive system;

8. Those ingesting micro-waved foods showed a statistically higher incidence of stomach and intestinal cancers, plus a general degeneration of peripheral cellular tissues with a gradual breakdown of digestive and excretory system function;

9. Microwave exposure caused significant decreases in the nutritional value of all foods studied, particularly:

* A decrease in the bioavailability of B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, essential minerals and lipotrophics

* Destruction of the nutritional value of nucleoproteins in meats

* Lowering of the metabolic activity of alkaloids, glucosides, galactosides and nitrilosides (all basic plant substances in fruits and vegetables)

* Marked acceleration of structural disintegration in all foods.

As a result microwave ovens were banned in Russia in 1976; the ban was lifted after Perestroika.

Standing in front of a microwave is also highly damaging to your health. Perhaps you have already felt this intuitively? We know that cells explode in the microwave - just fry an egg in your microwave. We are made up of trillions of cells. So work out how many are getting damaged if you stand in front of your microwave for 5-10 minutes.

In the past I had been told that it was important for people to stop eating microwaved food, but I did not pay too much attention to this because I had been microwave cooking for years. I never thought much about it but I suppose that I figured that if something was so bad for us, then there wouldn't be so many people using it. Little did I know.

When I first began seeing clients for sessions of kinesiology, I did not worry too much about telling them to give up eating microwaved food. However, I kept a record of all of the corrections that were needed for each client when they came in. Now, once a correction is made, it is to be hoped that the correction will stay in place for a long time to come, hopefully months if not years. People often ask me "How long will it last?" May answer to them is "That depends on your lifestyle".

Most of my clients came back to see me after about two weeks. In the early days I found that many who came back were not much better. I found that they were again `out of balance'. That is, their electrical circuits were not working correctly (which is common for many people). It was therefore not surprising that they were not much better, because the body does not begin to fully fix itself until the electrical circuits are in balance.

The question was, why did their electrical circuits go out of balance? The answer had to be something that was highly stressful, to effect the body in such a short space of time. Once that answer was remedied, the client would begin to get better. Using muscle testing, I went through the process of testing if the cause was electrical, chemical/nutritional, emotional or structural. Again and again the same answer would come up - electrical. When I then went through a range of possible electrical causes, the same answer again came up again and again - the person had eaten microwaved food! Incidentally, this answer never came up when a person had NOT eaten microwaved food.

I began to tell all of my clients on the first visit that under NO circumstances were they ever to do microwaved cooking again. I gave this a higher priority than any of things that are normally considered as health risks, such as cigarettes or alcohol. Immediately I began to get a marked improvement in the results I was getting. Long term problems such as headaches, back aches and emotional instability went away within a few weeks.

Other kinesiologists can confirm these results. David Bridgman, who has years of experience as a kinesiologist, said "Of all the people I test for allergies, 99.9% so far show severe sensitivity to any microwaved food".

I experienced the effect of eating microwaved food for myself one time. I had been doing quite a lot of kinesiology and feeling on top of the world when for no apparent reason I began to feel rather `grey' and rather low. I realised that I needed a balance from a kinesiologist. Sure enough, I was out of balance. When the kinesiologist used muscle testing to see why my body had gone out of balance, the answer came up ... microwaved food! The trouble was, I couldn't remember eating any. Until I remembered a particular vegetarian restaurant I had been to. When I went back to the restaurant and asked them if they microwaved their food, they told me that they did.

So be warned! Many restaurants use microwaved cooking, even `health' restaurants. Ask if the "steamed vegetables" are in fact steamed - or are they microwaved? I have sent meals back when they have not been what they were described on the menu, much to the surprise of the restaurant owners.

MICROWAVED PLASTIC WRAP HAS 10,000,000 TIMES FDA LIMITS OF CARCINOGENS!

From: doug@d-w-m.com

Sent to me by a reader: Hello Folks. Hopefully all of you are already well enough informed so as to avoid the use of a microwave oven due to the many detrimental effects consuming microwaved food has upon our health, but "just in case", here is some interesting info sent to me by Ron Scanlon -- many thanks, Ron! Cheers, Doug

University of California, Davis Medical Center 2315 Stockton Boulevard, Sacramento, California 95817

As a seventh grade student, Claire Nelson learned that di(ethylhexyl)adepate (DEHA), considered a carcinogen, is found in plastic wrap. She also learned that the FDA had never studied the effect of microwave cooking on plastic-wrapped food. Three years later, with encouragement from her high school science teacher, Claire set out to test what the FDA had not.

Although she had an idea for studying the effect of microwave radiation on plastic wrapped food, she did not have the equipment. Eventually, Dr. Jon Wilkes at the National Center for Toxicological Research agreed to help her. The research center, which is affiliated with the FDA, let her use its facilities to perform her experiments, which involved microwaving plastic wrap in virgin olive oil.

Claire tested four different plastic wraps and "found not just the carcinogens but also xenoestrogen was migrating [into the oil]...." Xenoestrogens are linked to low sperm counts in men and to breast cancer in women. Throughout her junior and senior years, Claire made a couple of trips each week to the research center, which was 25 miles from her home, to work on her experiment. An article in Options reported "her analysis found that DEHA was migrating into the oil at between 200 parts and 500 parts per million. The FDA standard is 0.05 parts per billion."

Her summarized results have been published in science journals. Claire Nelson received the American Chemical Society's top science prize for students during her junior year and fourth place at the International Science and Engineering Fair (Fort Worth,Texas) as a senior.

When Torture Becomes Policy

By Mike Whitney 09 Oct 2005

"President [sic] Bush has made it clear that he will veto the $435 billion Pentagon appropriations bill because it restricts his ability to abuse prisoners in the war on terror.

The bill, which forbids the 'cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment' of prisoners in US custody, was passed by an overwhelming 90 to 9 majority in the Senate...

This week, former UN chief weapons inspector, Scott Ritter, compared George Bush and Tony Blair to Nazi war criminals saying that, 'Both of these men could be pulled up as war criminals for engaging in actions that we condemned Germany in 1946 for doing.'

Bush's veto removes any doubt about the veracity of Ritter's comments."

EARTH CHANGES TV NEWSLETTER

Part – I Has The Magnetic Pole Reversal Already Begun?South Atlantic Anomaly Could be First Evidence

by Mitch Battros - ECTV

This is Part I of III

In my last two interviews, one with Dr. Peter Olson, Geophysicist from Johns Hopkins University , and Dr. Nicola Scafetta, Applied Physicist from Duke University has sparked my curiosity to apply an additional direction to my published “Equation”.

Still, the Sun is no doubt the origin of all interactive play. (at least in our solar system, but this will be explained in my book “Cosmic Rain” due out late spring.). The Sun is the triggering mechanism for a causal chain reaction to what happens on our home planet. One might say for all planets…in our solar system. What I have been learning lately is what slower acting, but perhaps far more powerful effect the Sun has on the Earth’s core. What we all agree upon (myself and my distinguished guest Dr. Olson and Dr. Scafetta) is the Sun is the primary cause for our climate and weather. It is pronounced and almost instantly in active effects. But what is going on below is far more powerful but disguises in a stealthy slow moving mannerism. The old story of the frog in the slowly heating pot comes to mind.

Although most of our scientific equipment is pointed towards the sky (satellites, telescopes etc,) to measure the Sun’s activity and its effect on our magnetic field, ionosphere, stratosphere, and as of late our “weather” (see equation), not much has been disclosed or known about what lies beneath our feet. So lets take a closer look.

Equation:

Sunspots => Solar Flares => Magnetic Field Shift => Shifting Ocean and Jet Stream Currents => Extreme Weather and Human Disruption

In very much the same way as lightning strikes, so does the Earth’s highly charged core. Did you know when we think we see a lightning bolt hitting Earth; it is actually met with a matching bolt from the ground shooting upward? That’s’ right. A lightning bolt rises from the ground and meets a lightning bolt from the sky up to several hundred feet in the air. With this understanding, and upon Dr. Olson’s studies of the Earth’s core, mantle and crust, I am suggesting the solar flares, CME’s, and various space emitted charged particles, having a similar “reverse charge” in the same manner as lightning bolts. More on this later, but first let’s take a look at what is the “South Atlantic Anomaly”.

South Atlantic Anomaly

Earth is surrounded by a close-to-spherical magnetic field, the magnetosphere. According to what we know today, it is being generated by dynamo action in the Earth's interior where conducting liquid metals are kept in motion by the forces of convection (heat exchange), coriolis, and gravitation, and just as the charged windings in the coil of a dynamo generate a magnetic field when moved, these masses create the Earth's magnetic field. Without it, our compasses wouldn't work, there would be no northern lights (auroras), and it protects us from space radiation by deflecting high energy particles from deep space or by capturing them in the so-called Van Allen Belts. Of these, discovered by the first US satellite, Explorer 1, in 1958, there are two, one closer, the other farther away, and both surround the Earth like a doughnut.

Unfortunately, at a certain location over the South Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Brazil, the shielding effect of the magnetosphere is not quite spherical but shows an unusual distortion, which scientists explain as a result of the eccentric displacement of the center of the magnetic field from the geographical center of the Earth (by 280 miles) as well as the displacement between the magnetic and geographic poles of Earth. This is to say Magnetic North is not consistent with Geographical North. At times this area becomes very unstable and “bounces” kilometers apart. But there is more to this “unpredictable” monolithic anomaly than many in the science community had ever known…until now.

AOL Time-Warner Censors Alex Jones Websites Nationwide blackout

http://www.prisonplanet.com/index.html
Prison Planet | October 5 2005

Time Warner's ISP, Road Runner, has blocked access to all of Alex Jones' flagship websites across the entire United States.

We were first alerted to this problem early this morning when several locals in Austin reported that they were unable to access Infowars.com, PrisonPlanet.com or Prison Planet.tv.

Austin Time Warner had previously shut down access to our websites on a whim, claiming they were 'hate material' but in all cases had quickly restored them after receiving complaints.

However, this latest attack on free speech is occurring nationwide, with Time Warner subscribers from New York to California reporting that their access to the websites is being blocked.

The last attempt to shut us down came
http://www.prisonplanet.tv/articles/july2005/220705underattack.htm shortly after the London Bombings, which saw our traffic go through the roof after we released a plethora of articles exposing government involvement.

The consequence of this is that Prison Planet.com alone on some days gets more hits than the Britney Spears website or Rush Limbaugh.

Previously we reported that UK ISPs like
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/infowarsnews/message/452 Tiscali were blocking their subscribers from accessing the website after the 7/7 bombings.

It is obvious that those in high places are showing their disapproval. This only vindicates all the information we have been putting out.

How can a website that merely reports and comments on mainstream media articles be described as 'hate' unless there's a different agenda afoot? How can Bill O'Reilly get on Fox News and call for
http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/october2005/051005edorsedassassinating.htm assassinating Prime Ministers and Pat Robertson on the 700 Club http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=45916 do the same and yet we get censored for being hateful? We have never called for violence against anyone and actively encourage peaceful exchange of information.

This is part of a growing trend of authoritarian censorship of the Internet in preparation for the
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/09/28/internet_end_nigh/ emergence of Internet 2, where only government approved websites will be allowed to exist and the old Internet will be shut down.

Monolithic corporations in lock-step with government are following the http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/october2005/041005shutsdown.htm Chinese model, where any website mildly anti-establishment is immediately shut down and its owners arrested. The vast majority of Internet cafes in China http://www.guardian.co.uk/internetnews/story/0,7369,752802,00.html were shut down in 2002 after the government started a fire in one Beijing cafe and then demanded all the rest be shut down for 'safety reasons'.

Under anti-terrorism laws in Italy, Internet
http://prisonplanet.com/articles/october2005/051005email.htm cafe owners are forced to take photo ID's of all their customers and install key-logging and filter software which blocks any websites the government chooses.

Today's actions by Time Warner fall into the same category. The First Amendment is under siege by jack-booted totalitarians in suits that graciously lick the boots and follow the orders of the establishment lackeys.

In 2002 Dell Computers http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,50723,00.html cancelled an order placed by Weigand Combat Handguns because the company name triggered a security alert. The word 'combat' was not accepted by Dell's post-9/11 security alert system. This is an example of the inane and sweeping nature of these filtrations systems and the blanket idiocy applied to these cases.

We are urging all our readers (not that you will even be able to read this if you subscribe to Time Warner!) to boycott any Time Warner/Road Runner ISP service and cancel your subscription with them. They have proven themselves time and time again to be an anti-American freedom hating tool of the establishment.

We urge you to double your efforts in spreading the truth. Copy and distribute our artcles more than ever. We are under a direct assault, the only response needs to be a massive and powerful counter-offensive. To all alternative media websites, please post this article as we are all in the same boat, we are all under enemy fire.

If Time Warner do not immediately restore subscribers' access to our websites we will initiate a wider boycott campaign. They are already receiving a deluge of complaints and according to some are now claiming that this is an 'error' that they are looking into and citing other websites that have also been affected, even though these websites are having no problems.

We will update this article as and when Time Warner restores access to Alex Jones' websites. If they fail to do so we will carry telephone numbers and e mail addresses for people to make their complaints.
