Could banks now be leading us all into a state of …(cough)… asphyxiation? Could they be pilfering not just our savings but our very oxygen supply? Well, we all know that banks have been behaving rather self-destructively of late. However, not everyone knows that bankers chop down trees in their spare time. Nor did I know until recently that the frontal lobe of a banker is the same size as a squirrel’s.

Why Are We All Acting Like THIS?
In a way it is all very simple. Whether in the realm of politics, climate change, health, financial reform or anything else, people are thinking in straight lines. Straight lines are for dummies. Don’t believe me? Well, excuse me, but according to Einstein, no less, spacetime is curved. So there.
This idiocy is occurring regardless of whether it is the leaders…(see above), or the led…(also see above) who are following them into the pit.
The 1% thinks in straight lines: ie how to maximize their profits in the quickest way without ANY REGARD TO CONSEQUENCES.
The 99% also thinks in straight lines: stagger along behind, complaining and moaning, but not removing their hand from the idiot directly in front of them. That action would mean something else: thinking for yourself, and thinking in non-linear mode.
Otherwise, sooner or later, this is going to happen:
Aargh!!
Still not convinced? Okay, so does this thing below look as though it is a good tool for thinking yourself out of a difficult situation?
A Great Thinking Tool? Please Vote.
OkAY, SO YOU FEEL YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT, DO YOU? Let’s see what you come up with then:
2 straight lines mean: NO MOVEMENT AT ALL
Sorry, but I’m not convinced. Two straight lines means NO MOVEMENT AT ALL. Or, in plain English, it means stuck. At loggerheads. No way forward. Hmmm.
As Einstein astutely implied, straight lines don’t exist in reality. They exist in our heads and in our behaviors. Briefly put, as long as we continue to think in straight lines, we will be condemned to end up with THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND.
So, is there a viable alternative? Yep, just look below:
The Core of Non-Linear Thinking: the Hub of the TORUS
If you want to see this in pulsation mode, check this out:
Torus: When the Mind Engages with Reality
Here is a schematic diagram of the energy flows inherent to nonlinear thinking:
Thinking the Way Leonardo and other Smart People Think
So let’s apply that now to the planet:
Plasma and Planets Don’t Act or Think Like Politicians and Conventional Scientists
I hope you get the gist by now. Again, as Einstein told us, in order to resolve problems we need to do so at a higher level from the one on which they were generated.
This means using the brain in a holistic, non-linear way to comprehend the full scope of things as they play out in spacetime. Sadly, the “leaders” in charge today, whether in finance, politics, medicine or conventional academic science, plus the masses of drained, impoverished, frustrated and disempowered millions throughout the world, are not reaching out for new, non-linear solutions.
If you have enjoyed this post, please let us know by email. I call this style of blogging my “quick and dirty” method: get the point over without waste or frills.
Now to one of the pressing world problems that linear thinking the world over is failing to grasp in its full implications: radiation toxicity.
Both forms are all encompassing in air, water, soil and food. Together, they interact to place more physiological and mutagenic burdens on the human being already exposed to multiple chemical and biological toxins.

The cutting you have just read is an excerpt from transcribed audio files of a United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission meeting of March 12, 2011. Below you will find the clip in a slightly more expanded context. None of this material has been edited or otherwise modified from the original transcripts.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING MATERIAL SLOWLY and TRY TO REALIZE WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU. What is clear from this cutting is that the NRC was very determined from the outset to prevent labs from monitoring the fallout from Fukushima as it spread eastward towards the United States. In brief, from the very beginning, we have been lied to and deceived, just as the Japanese people have been lied to and deceived by their own government and regulatory agencies. (Only recently have the Japanese authorities been force to admit that the Fukushima fallout has been at least two times higher than their original “estimates”).
I wish I did not have to spend time making this clear to people, but my experience has been that although, of course, their are people everywhere who can see through (and anticipate) the lies, there are far greater numbers of naive, complacent people only to happy to be duped, because when you have been duped, it does not disturb your comfort zone, and you do not have to take action. Sadly, this more or less describes the mass of the American people at the present time.
JAPAN’S FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI ET AUDIO FILE
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Saturday, March 12, 2011
MR. SHARON: This is Brian Sharon. Quick question, well, not question, but I’ve gotten a couple of emails here today, from some of the National Labs, and they’re all — there are a couple of them chomping a the bit, you know, saying, “Ghee, can we help? Ghee, can we go calculate this,” with the codes and all that stuff.
I keep telling them, “No, you don’t know the scenario,” but you know, somebody might want to call DOE and tell them to tell their labs to cool it, because the last thing we want is the labs going off, talking to the press, talking about consequences and all sorts of other stuff, because you know, they’re chomping at the bit, to do something, and I’m not sure, Eliot, maybe you’ve got a point of contact up there at DOE?
MR. BRENNER: I’ll send a note to their Press Secretary, asking him, through his chain, to reach out, down to the labs and tell them to back off. If we’ve got other chains, we might as well –
MALE PARTICIPANT: If I could chime in on that? On the Deputy’s call yesterday, I was on with the Chairman, and Pete Lyons was one of the principals at DOE. Lyons may be a good source to contact at DOE.
MR. JOHNSON: This is Mike Johnson. My other thought was, it may be just to cut to the chase, just to pass the same, to call the lab directors and say, “Knock it off,” or whatever messages we want to get to them.
There are a number of ways we can do this.
So, I agree, Brian, we’ve got to do it soon.
MR. McDERMOTT: Okay, we’ll take that action from headquarters.
The only way out of this, if there is one, is for people to start thinking for themselves and taking personal responsibility for change. Why are people today so lame, mentally and spiritually? What has happened to people that they have lost the fire of independent thinking, the courage to cut through BS and demand the truth? How can so many people trust information from government or corporate (which amounts to the same thing) regulated channels? Have we forgotten about the weapons of mass destruction conveniently invented by those war mongerers Bush and Blair, the weapons of mass destruction that were never there?
Are we willing to sit back and passively absorb the slow-cooking, mass destruction from Fukushima Daiichi as it poisons us all and permanently damages the DNA of future generations?
Are we willing to tolerate this lying machine of an administration that is in bed with the both nuclear industry and Wall Street while it pours out more outrageous misinformation and propaganda? Are we willing to become victims of global contamination resulting from the greed and negligence of these vested interests, while turning a blind eye to the President playing video games (or playing God) with his personal Kill Lists and drone attacks?
The madness will only stop when the people have the sense to remember the responsibility that comes with being human: if you have a brain, use it. If you have a heart, awaken it. If you have integrity and honesty, activate them. Staying asleep only brings everybody down with you.
Here is a visual mapping of the spread of hot particles over the northern hemisphere from Fukushima. The plume model shown here refers only to efflux from Reactor Number 1 on March 2011. In other words, it represents only a small portion of the total efflux since the accident occurred, and a tiny fraction of the catastrophic levels should Reactor Number 4 combust in the coming months. Please pay close attention to the density of contamination over the United States. If this makes you too uncomfortable, please go on and read my previous post on Cognitive Dissonance.
On Saturday I presented a public lecture on the dangers we are currently facing from radiation. It was free, everyone was invited.
The purpose of the talk was to instruct people in the different types of radiation to which we are being exposed, both ionising and non-ionising, and to highlight the critical dangers emanating from Fukushima for people living on the West Coast of the US.
I was shocked to realize how completely unaware many people in the audience were of what is going on. They were largely clueless. I emphasized to them how this lack of understanding was the direct result of under-reporting and propaganda on the part of the media and the regulatory authorities.
But some people really did not want to hear this. This line of reasoning did not go over too well with those folks.
Many people are so invested in NOT paying attention to anything and NOT hearing the whistleblower…and really good at convincing themselves by hook or crook that if anything really bad is going to happen it is not going to happen to them or, at least, not in their lifetimes.
This is cognitive dissonance: discomfort occurs in us when conflicting beliefs have to be accommodated within the same mental space. This results is an attempt at rejection or suppression. We try to reject from our minds information that does not fit in with our preferred view of reality.
Another, simpler way of describing their reaction would be: laziness.
Mental laziness, spiritual and ethical laziness, dullness of mind and heart.
If you don’t like to hear what someone is saying, even if a little voice inside your head is telling you that it may well be true, you just decide that it can’t possibly be true and that will restore everything to the way it was before, correct? Then we can just carry on just as before without looking through the windscreen and just let our driver continue to drive us… straight off the cliff? What cliff?
I was shocked to see that hardly a person in the room was aware of Fukushima radiation reaching the United States in any meaningful amount, or of any critical issues at Reactor Number 4. Or even that there was a Reactor Number 4.
So today we learn from TEPCO, courtesy of a Fukushima Diary update that there has been a cooling systems failure at Reactor Number 4. TEPCO is currently investigating the problem. Apparently, the water temperature in the holding tank was at 31 degrees C when the malfunction began. TEPCO estimates that the water temperature would rise by just under one half degree Celsius per hour. 65 degrees C is the danger level for combustibility of the spent rods in Reactor 4′s holding tank, so from that we can calculate how long TEPCO has to fix the problem, however temporary the fix might be.
So here we are, going about our business in blissful, willful ignorance, while 1,535 spent MOX fuel rods sit in an exposed and almost dry tank 100 feet above ground in a horribly damaged, delapidated building with the roof blown open and now the cooling system is not working.
But people don’t seem to want to hear about this.
People don’t seem to want to live in reality. Too much effort, perhaps? Too much discomfort to look at things as they actually are?
If people are this lazy and unwilling to look at things, what does this mean for the rest of us?
Yes, here we go again. See, human rights are no longer in. Black is in. Black lines are in, big time in.
Everywhere, the police are dressing up in black, semi-military apparel. I wonder which fashion house they consult with.
Oh, and tanks have been rolling through the streets of Missouri recently. That’s right, tanks. Just in case the boys in black can’t hold the line against the people.
Those darned people, always demanding something. Look at them, demanding not to be irradiated at Ohi as they believe they were at Fukushima.
Okay, so that didn’t take long did it? The Japanese PM Noda has quickly reversed his decision to close down all Japan’s nuclear reactors. Two have now been re-opened. One of these is Ohi: Ohi reactor is now open for business again.
Too bad if the people don’t like it.
But hey, who cares, if you can just draw a big black line wherever you want?
Political flip-flop manouver, just like our American President does all the time: say one thing and then quickly do the opposite and screw the people, (if they even notice, ha!). So, if the Japanese people don’t want to die from more radiation poisoning, that’s tough on them. Radiation is good for the economy which means it’s good for you. Besides, we politicians have profit margins to maintain and debt-to-GDP ratios to fix. In other words, we got fat bankers to feed. It’s a tough job being PM or President. Gotta go and feed those CEOs and bankers so they’ll vote me back in, understand?
Same as in all other countries right? So call in the boys in blue, (or white or black, or whatever…)
Get a sense of deja vu, anybody?
Line of Black Mold Grows on Democracy
Sometimes the shirts are black, sometimes the shirts are white, but the message always is:
WE ARE HERE TO PROTECT YOU -
FROM YOUR RIGHTS, right?
WE ARE HERE TO MAKE SURE YOU stay SILENT,
right?
TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NO SAY,
right?
IN matters of LIFE OR DEATH,
RIGHT OR WRONG, we decide
right?
IN BLACK AND WHITE, it says here:
“Disperse or you’re under arrest.”
Right?
WRONG.
Life is a sacred experiment
It is a curious fact of life that the tiniest events can reveal the greatest mysteries. Science, with its relentless pursuit of the smallest conceivable particle, obviates this. As, indeed, does poetry: in a poem, tiny expressions of personal experience can capture the greater whole for us; a poem can present us with the very core of human experience.
“For it is important that awake people be awake,
or a breaking line may encourage them back to sleep;
the signals we give – yes, no, or maybe -
should be clear: the darkness around us is deep.“
- William Stafford
The minute mirrors the vast, and vice versa, as Lao Tzu teaches in the Tao Te Ching.
“Without going outside, you may know the entire world.”
Where better to find a mirror image of ourselves than in the bacterial realm? After all, our very bodies are composed of resident micro-organisms that outnumber our host cells by a ratio of 10:1.
Yesterday, I watched a chilling battle going on in my living room just under a window sill. Two spiders were locked in combat. The longer limbed spider swiftly gained the advantage and began encoiling its prey with strands of that supremely tensile yet flexible material invented by arachnids. Two of its absurdly long legs pumped back and forth as it spun furiously away. It was a chillingly clinical demonstration of technical superiority. And of cold-blooded intent.
Such is nature, after all. Despite all our fantasies, religious or otherwise, nature stays true to its contract with the Grim Reaper.
Yet although spiders are relatively small beings, and although their strategic domination over small denizens of the entomological kingdom can make our skin creep, they are not our best choice for mirroring the human being. We need to go smaller still.
Perhaps it would be better to compare humans to a slime-mold organism, spreading its spores worldwide. Or to a intestinal parasite, gouging its planetary host of nutrients and resources. Or to a virus, decimating the natural immunity of its target; or perhaps even to a heavy metal particle, a blood-borne macro-molecule, interfering with multiple enzyme pathways vital to the systemic health of the host.
We can hardly be sentimental about the role of the human being in the greater, planetary world, faced as we are today with the god-awful mess we have generated.
But for the moment at least, we can settle for pathogenic bacteria as the ideal theater in which to study ourselves.
And when we look closely at bacteria, what we discover is their use of the magic ring: plasmids.
For those unfamiliar with the term, plasmids are replicons: self-replicating portions of DNA independent of chromosomes. They are often circular or ring-like, hence we are calling them, Lord of the Rings.
plasmid rings
They are found in archaea, bacteria and also in certain eukaryotic cells. Plasmids are much used in the bio-tech industry as vectors through which genetic information can be transferred. Once specific genes have been inserted into this carrier mechanism, the plasmid, in turn, is inserted into the host micro-organism. Hence, a modified being is produced through genetic engineering.
But how do bacterial plasmids function outside the lab, when they are left to their own devices? And how can this teach us about ourselves, and perhaps make us a little wiser and more self-reflective?
The plasmid is an evolutionary device that enables bacteria to transfer genetic material across territorial lines (ie. into other strains or even species). Because the plasmid is not embedded in chromosomal DNA, it can be let go and delivered like a message. And because it can self-replicate, it has a sort of independence, a life of its own.
Plasmids are somewhat similar to viruses: they are not quite what we consider to be living beings. Rather, they are bits of information that are self-sustaining and self-replicating. Plasmids are even less of a “creature” than a virus, in that they are composed exclusively of DNA. Indeed, they are sometimes called, naked DNA.
Viruses, on the other hand, insert their own genetic material into host cells in order to for the viral body to replicate. Plasmids, by contrast, are nothing but bits of independently self-replicating genetic information in the form of circles. They are the biological equivalent of what are called, in metaphysics, “thought forms“.
Plasmid dynamics are of considerable interest in applied microbiology.
Biologists from Indiana University have published their research into the plasmid vectors of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, which causes crown-gall disease, a tumor like growth in plant hosts, such as walnut trees, roses, grapes and other fruit trees.
Whilst Agrobacterium can successfully insert some of its genetic material into the plant host via its plasmid, this comes at a significant energetic cost to the bacterium itself.
The point, from the bacterium’s point of view, of infecting the plant with a select portion of its DNA, is to generate tumors in the plant host that will provide a source of nutrients for Agrobacterium tumefaciens to feed off.
It is an exhaustive process for the pathogenic Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain to express the plasmid genes necessary to engineer infection. This can be compared to the high costs a nation incurs when it mounts an invasion into a foreign land. For example, the military invasion of Iraq in 2002.
Researchers at Indiana University have pointed to a different, non-pathogenic strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens that is able to “freeload” off the resources generated by their pathogenic cousins. These strains do not have to exhaust their internal cellular machinery in the act of mounting an invasion, and their presence may actually constrain virulence whilst they stabilize the overall Agrobacterial presence in the plant.
What we see here is a kind of partly competitive, partly collaborative dynamic between two strains.
Ike says, "We must guard against the military-industral complex."
This brings to mind human motivation and behavior with invasion and resource stripping of conquered nations. The military (viz pathogenic plasmid) moves thought forms (propaganda) into the nation it is invading. This is very costly to the nation mounting the attack. However, it expects to profit in the end through control of stolen resources such as oil. Then the business wing moves in: the corporate portion of the military industrial complex. This presence in the conquered territory works to maximize its extraction of resources without having to exhaust itself in the process, which is the military’s role.
In the end of course, the business and resources garnered from the conquered territories are funneled back into support the military again, so that the adequate amount of energy is restored to mount future attacks of the same nature.
Haliburton thrives in Iraq
Anyone interested in following up on the Indiana University studies can read their research article, “A cooperative virulence plasmid imposes a high fitness cost under conditions that induce pathogenesis,” that appeared in Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Earlier this year, a strange, “spider web like substance” was detected in the cooling pools at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River site, in South Carolina. After receiving a report filed by the SRS officials, the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, which is a federal oversight panel, admitted:
“The growth, which resembles a spider web, has yet to be characterized, but may be biological in nature.”
May be biological in nature? If preliminary testing by the DNFS is unable to determine whether this substance is biological or not, one wonders what kind of procedure they are using. A kit from ToysRUs?
Of course, the avuncular DNFS goes on to reassure us, “Whatever it is, it doesn’t appear to be causing any damage.”
Yet the author of the original blog posting from which this information is drawn, noted investigative journalist Joseph Trento, informs us that “highly radioactive snakes, frogs and even a 3 legged gator populate the Department of Energy’s Savannah River site.”
Not causing any harm, eh?
Biological evolution, let us all recall, proceeds by virtue of adaptation to environmental stimuli. This occurs, as we know, by the process termed natural selection, whereby specific gene alterations that randomly occur, are “selected” by the host to enhance its survival chances.
For most of the 4.5 billion years of the Earth’s existence, such mutations have occurred in the face of natural challenges. These include, but are not limited to, vast fluctuations in ambient planetary temperatures, asteroid collisions, volcanic eruptions and upthrustings of igneous rock, periodic flooding and tectonic plate shifts. Only in the tiniest sliver of planetary history – mostly, the past hundred years – have man-made toxins such as petro-chemicals, PCBs, plastics, pharmaceuticals, military and civil waste products, electromagnetic smog and fossil fuel exhausts – contributed to “natural selection” in significant ways. And none more so than radiation.
Anyone doubting this has merely to look at heart rending images of birth defects among the children on Chernobyl. In fact, women living in the most severely contaminated areas such as parts of Belarus, have been advised by doctors never to get pregnant.
So what is this unidentifiable spider web like substance collected from the cooling pools at the SRS, and what affinities (chemical or biological) might it have with the black substance that keeps on returning to the streets of Tokyo in the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster?
This “black substance” continuously shows up on the streets of Tokyo and neighboring areas. As recently as March of this year, it was found at the entrance to an elementary school in the Japanese capital. Constant tracking of this substance, and forensic analysis of its makeup, has been assiduously carried out by the contributors to FUKUSHIMA DIARY, a grassroots initiative fighting bravely against the denials and obfuscations of officialdom.
Some Tokyo residents have compared the black substance to the black rain that fell after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Forensic analysis of the material has determined cesium concentrations in the following amounts:
Cs 137: 37,596 Bq/Kg
Cs 134: 53,344 Bq/Kg
Total: 90,940 Bq/Kg
For those who may not know, cesium is a beta-particle radionuclide that also emits gamma radiation. Cesium 137 has a half-life of 30 years, which means that it will take thousands of years to be rendered inert. This radionuclide easily bio-accumulates in organic materials, and especially in animals higher up the food chain. The entire, spent fuel complexes at Fukushima Daiichi, were they to ignite in a chain reaction scenario subsequent to combustion at the precarious Reactor 4, would release quantities of cesium 137 into the world’s atmosphere that have been calculated to be 85 times as high as those emitted from Chernobyl in 1986.
Toxic black mold
Fungi thrive on radioactivity. They appear to utilize the pigment melanin to convert gamma radiation into a hydrolysis process that enables them to gain mass, in ways possibly analagous to the manner in which green plants utilize the pigment chlorophyll to convert sunlight into carbohydrates in the process known as photosynthesis.
We should remember that gamma radiation is a type of light. It is made of photons, and is thus without mass just like visible light. It travels at the same speed as visible light. Why would it not be a kind of convertible food for molds and fungi?
As recently as 2007, robots sent into the still highly reactive Chernobyl plant brought back samples of a black, slime-mold organism thriving on the walls of the abandoned facility.
Could the South Carolina spider web like material, the black substance found on the streets of Tokyo, with its high concentrations of cesium, and the Chernobyl black mold all belong to the same family?
And if the black mold was not detected at Chernobyl until 25 years after the meltdown in 1986, how come the black substance has been appearing in Japan just one year after the Fukushima disaster began? What could this possibly imply about radiation levels released at Fukushima relative to radiation levels released at Chernobyl?
In the Pacific Northwest, where I have my practice, black mold is endemic. This is a cool, damp part of the world, not unlike much of Japan in climate. Black mold by itself is severely toxic to humans, and is also a co-factor in other debilitating such as Lyme’s.
One of our best weapons with which to fight mold is Jatoba, a plant native to Peru. Jatoba sits at the center of our anti-mold and anti-candida protocols. It is highly effective, and also highly energizing.
However, treatments cannot be one-dimensional, and all co-factors need to be tended to in a careful and professional manner. The assimilation of radioactivity by native black mold species further enhances their destructive potential. After all, why would a slime-mold organisms not “ select” from mutations driven by radioactive emissions?
Renowned German physician, Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt has observed how spirochetes such as borrelia burgdorferi (which causes Lyme’s disease) are caused to mutate in a negative direction by exposure to non-ionising radiation from cell-phones, radio-towers and other microwave generating sources and appliances.
All radiation whether ionising or non-ionising, will tend to trigger mutations within harmful microorganisms, rendering medical treatments more difficult.
Natural medicines must, therefore, include:
1) The ability to destroy black mold itself.
2) The ability to rid the body of immune-compromising endo-toxins left in the system after the mold itslef has been eliminated.
3) The ability to generate radio-protection in human cells.
4) The ability to restore damage to DNA from radiation and toxic black mold exposures.
Otherwise we may all eventually end up like the snakes in the radioactive Savannah River site in South Carolina.
We are living in Orwellian times. Who could possibly deny it? The way to get to the top, and to stay there, is to lie as efficiently as possible. This means mastering the old art of doublespeak – do you remember the term from the last millenium? It has since been upgraded into a shinier, modern version. The new version has three key components:
1) No-holds-barred deceit.
2) Confuse people by pretending to do the very opposite of what you are planning to do.
3) Smile a lot. (Also, roll up your sleeves whenever possible to show you are one of the folks; a man of service who delivers on his promises).
Let’s Do Doublespeak
If you get this down, you can travel to some very high places. The reason behind this is that it greatly profits those in charge of the world’s financial system, the banks and the multinational corporations. The merger of state and corporate power is called fascism. This is the system we live under today, not democracy but a cloaked form of fascism. The cloak is state managed welfare, a socialism that actually benefits big business. This confuses the hell out of people and makes their brains short-circuit: thus, the current administration is attacked by many as being leftist and socialist. We all know how disastrous communist and socialist regimes were in the war-torn twentieth century, right? So, of course, no-one would want socialism brought to the US, correct? Yet behind this “convenience” of socialism there is a dark background of fascism. That is, behind the veneer of state managed welfare and surveillance - increasing interference by the federal government into daily life and liberties – is a giant feeding mechanism leading straight into the swollen pockets of the ultra-haves.
A smartpig can never be too rich or too equal
The ultra-haves run the show, and the political leaders are nothing more than traffic cops directing profit flows their way. For this, they need to have excellent makeup artists and tele-prompters, and to be able to seduce populations with the promise of “a good time”. Basically, they are whores for corporate interest. This is how socialism and fascism merge, and democracy is left holding the short stick. In 1835, Alexis De Tocqueville wrote his classic work, “Democracy in America”. If he wrote a sequel today it may have to be called, “Demagoguery in America”.
An article in today’s Huffingtonpost by Zach Carter brings all this into clear relief
(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/13/obama-trade-document-leak_n_1592593.html)
The article discusses leaked documents from Obama’s trade agreement with six other Pacific nations, the semi-covert Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact. The leaked document is posted on the website of Public Citizen.
Senator Ron Wyden (D.Ore), who is also the only high ranking US politician to have bothered to travel personally to Japan to see for himself how disastrously out of control the situation is at Fukushima, ” has been so incensed” by lack of public access to sections of the TPPTP, that he has introduced legislation requiring further disclosure.
The irony of this situation is that whilst the state becomes more and more intrusive into the lives of its citizens, it is becoming more and more covert in its behind-the-scenes machinations. Cocktails, anyone? How about a Liar’s Delite?
The leaked document reveals the full charade of Obama’s broken campaign promises, and how this two-facedness works to further undermine the health rights of US and other populations under the Pacific trade umbrella. This portion of the Trans-Pacific agreement grants foreign multinational corporations rights to circumvent US regulations on the environment, banking and other issues by appealing to an “international tribunal”. Such tribunals would in reality be kangaroo courts set up to exonerate these corporations from penalties or other litigation.
Anyone doubting this simply has to refer to the section in the document itself which spells this out for us:
“The tribunals would be staffed by private sector lawyers that rotate between acting as ‘judges’ and as advocates for the investors suing the governments”. More doublespeak, anybody?
In brief, a jerry-rigged piece of off-shore judiciary is being covertly built by the current administration. This off-shoring of legislation further promotes the abilities of the 0.1 % to maximize their profit margins without breaking a sweat.
Are YOU sweating yet?
The sweat, instead, is pouring from the heads of the most vulnerable: human beings in need of low-cost generic drugs; and our common heritage, the devastated natural environment so desperately in need of more protective, and enforceable legislation.
According to Margrete Strand Rangnes, Labor and Trade Director for the Sierra Club, “Our worst fears about the investment chapter have been confirmed by this leaked text…This investment chapter would severely undermine attempts to strengthen environmental law and policy.”
And the agreement would also allow companies to ramp up their prices for vital medications by granting them inviolable, long term patents. The effect? Access to life-saving generic drugs becomes impossible to poorer people, especially those in developing nations. And in the US, such price hikes place further, unsustainable pressures on already over-extended state and municipal budgets. The consequence is more debt at personal, municipal and state levels; more bankruptcies, despair, and more people succumbing to preventable illnesses.
The outer face of socialist rhetoric conceals an inner face of fascist extortionism. To add to the irony, the Obama adminstration is more gung-ho than the previous one. Obama, it has been said, is like Bush on steroids.
‘”Bush was better than Obama on this” says, Judit Rius, US manager of Doctors Without Borders Access to Medicines Campaign. What she means is that Bush had a better record on ensuring affordable public access to necessary medicines than Obama does. How can you be worse than very bad?
“It’s pathetic,” continues Dr. Rius, “but it is what it is. The world’s upside down.”
So what is the opposition saying about this? Excuse me, what opposition? Mr. Obama’s rival for the job in the upcoming November elections has urged the US to finalize the deal as soon as possible.
Trust Me, I Know What To Do To Fix Things
A two party system engineered to produce the same results, no matter what. A far cry from any meaningful democracy. Today, everything is manipulated at every level. From the genome of plants by Dow Chemicals and Monsanto, to the commodities and equities markets with algorithm robo-trading, to any last vestige of truthful reporting by the state-and-corporate dominated media, or “presstitutes” as Gerald Celente calls them.
But wait, Hope and Change, Obama’s bastard children are still alive and kicking right? Because 100 million people can freely exchange their thoughts and ideas on Facebook. Won’t Facebook save the people, and save the economy too?
The Facebook IPO implosion tore the mask off this illusion. There is a new movie out about the characterless face of Facebook, one M. Zuckerberg. According to the highly respected financial analyst Richard Russel, interviewed on KingWorldNews, “I watched a movie about Zuckerberg on Bloomberg, and my conclusion is that the Zuck double-crossed a lot of ‘friends.’ I don’t think he’s a sweet guy. The word is that Facebook is too intrusive. Many people who value their privacy are leaving the Zuck. People are afraid that the Zuck could be a potential J. Edgar Hoover. Personally I wouldn’t trust Zuck to give me change for a dollar. ”
Wanna get Zucked?
The name Zuckerberg, roughly translated from German means, Mountain of White Sugar.
Look at the man’s charming, vacuous, feelingless smile in the middle of a vacant, white, characterless face. Tell me this is not just a lump of human white sugar that has made a mountain of cash out of people’s naivety and need to connect. Isn’t this is what the whole sorry game is about?
I am just waiting for the fat lady to start screeching loud enough that enough people walk away from the House of Manipulation.
I recently posted an entry about the puzzling spider attack on a community in northern India. In that blog, I show a photograph taken in Belarus of frighteningly dense swarms of mosquitos. If they bring anything to my mind, they are Biblical accounts of swarms of locusts. But let’s forget the archetypes and the apocalyptic imagery for a second. Let’s just take another cool, level-headed look. Here is a second photo of this phenomenon in Belarus, showing a large swarm of mosquitoes settled upon a parked car:
And here is another:
Perhaps many people do not know where Belarus is, or even that it exists. Americans, in particular, are somewhat clueless about even their own geography, which is one major reason why they are equally clueless as to what is going on globally with radioactive contamination. Nation states, headed by governments and their propaganda machines, the essentially state controlled media, attempt to distort information in ways that suit their own interests. This has been the over-riding reason for the almost complete info-blackout as to what is occurring at Fukushima Daiichi, and how this is affecting the American people, and indeed persons inhabiting the northern hemisphere. Let’s not even mention the animals, fish and plant life.
But why is Belarus of such interest to us?
In the March/April 2004 edition of Orion magazine, author Hope Burwell writes a gripping account of how the Chernobyl disaster has affected the people of that country since the meltdown of 1986. Her essay is entitled, Jeremiad for Belarus. On location in Frankfurt at The International School, in 2000, Burwell was asked if she would be willing to join a delegation to Cherikov, a small town in the southeast of the country.
“Belarus?” I asked. “What’s Belarus?”
“The country most contaminated by Chernobyl,” answered a German colleague.
“I thought that was Ukraine,” I said.
She sighed, “Most Americans seem to.”
Reading Burwell’s report of her investigation of post-Chernobyl effects on the population of Belarus makes for harrowing reading:
Nearly half of Belarus’s teenagers have serious health problems. Forty-five to 47 percent of those graduating from high school have physical disorders like gastro-intestinal anomalies, weakened hearts, and cataracts; 40 percent of them have chronic “blood disorders” and malfunctioning thyroids. The number of handicapped adolescents has trebled in the last decade.
On my first trip, in November 2000, I spent three days touring schools in Cherikov and the even more contaminated areas of the Mogilev district. Then we traveled to children’s hospitals in Minsk. What I saw there still shows up in nightmares: children with eyes in the sides of their heads, and children with no eyes at all, children with fingers that look like toes, and children whose genitals are so poorly formed one can’t determine their sex. Those nightmares are audible with infant wails like the cries of wounded wild animals.
Abandoned orphans abound. Burwell singles out a group huddled in a barn at the edge of town. The eldest of them is just twelve years old. They get by on a diet of “stolen eggs and radioactive apples”. Their parents? Dead, or dying from Chernobyl, plus vodka to blank it all out. The orphanages? Unbuilt or unplanned for.
Yet the state of Belarus, despite scant economic means at its disposal did make major, even heroic, efforts to de-contaminate the land, asphalting over dirt roads and removing 7,300,000 cubic meters of contaminated topsoil. But in the end, they had to acknowledge it was beyond them. The contamination was too overwhelming. A white flag of resignation ensued. Eventually, they resorted to lies. The people were told that the radiation had gone away and the danger had passed. Only the mad believed this.
Life expectancy in Belarus for a newborn today has dropped to fifty-nine.
And during those meagre fifty nine years, it can expect a high degree of suffering and chronic ill-health.
Could it happen elsewhere? “Could it happen here?” ponders Burwell in 2004, as she explores the Duane Arnold Energy Center, Iowa’s nuclear reactor. “Yeah, you could make it happen here,” replies an engineer, by which he means a relatively unsophisticated terrorist style attack.
Of course we all worry about attacks of this sort, and are made to worry about adequate security to protect us. But the fact is that we are already in the midst of a radioactive catastrophe that will – unless some very drastic repair strategies are figured out real soon – transform the continent of Narth America, and probably Europe, into a vast extension of what occurred in Belarus as a result of the Chernobyl meltdown.
“Our” contemporary meltdown is not Ukrainian but Japanese: Fukushima-Daiichi. And we in the United States are effectively “downwind” of the fallout as it bridges the Pacific at increasingly dire and dangerous levels.
In his imva.blog, [http://blog.imva.info/world-affairs/radiation-hitting-streets-la], Dr. Mark Sircus remembers the fate of the Belarus people, and refers to that same seminal essay by Hope Burwell. But he also provides specific data as to the rapidly elevating quanta of radioactive fallout affecting this country, and in particular Los Angeles. In a posting entitled, Radiation Hitting the Streets of LA, Dr. Sircus explains how radiation levels are still rising with ominous consistency. What pertains to LA will also pertain to the rest of the continental US, and eventually to much of the northern hemisphere.
Here are a few pointers from that post:
Debris from Fukushima Now Washing Up on the West Coast
Radioactive Tuna Discovered in California
In our lungs, in our tissues, in our brains and, ultimately, in our genes where mutations will generate horrible birth effects such as we have seen, so tragically, in Belarus. Certain radionuclides have specific, selective affinities for human tissue. For example, strontium- 90 travels to the bones, marrow and the teeth. Cesium-137 moves preferentially into the heart,eyes and brain. Plutonium-239, amongst the most deadly of radionuclides, is inhaled as part of airborne particulates, and can settle in tender lung tissue, from where it can enter system circulation via the blood.
Humans cannot live without hope. The spirit dies without the sense of hope, meaning and purpose in life. What can be done to engender hope in this unfolding crisis?
At the most basic level, the body may, to some degree, be protected and de-contaminated using natural substances such as plants, minerals, salts and special foods. We are currently developing a comprehensive website that will provide essential information on protection and cellular repair to all interested. We are also now offering workshops and seminars on Radiation Remedies here in Friday Harbor. At the end of August, we will present a hands on theory and practice workshop on food preparation that protects the human body from the damage done by radionuclides.

The new site is called www.radiation-remedies.com You may bookmark it prior to its being launched online. We will also let you know through this blog when the new site is ready to go online.
Now that you know a bit more about the tragic, recent history of Belarus, the phenomenon of the swarming mosquitoes may be less perplexing. Who knows whether genetic mutations have created a variety of mosquito unknown before? As I showed in the previous post, the physical formation of the swarm clouds bears an uncanny resemblance to the morphology of the white smoke plumes emanating from Fukushima.
We can also appreciate the swarms of bugs as a “canary in the coalmine”, not so much for the long suffering people of Belarus, but rather for the rest of us who are either foolishly complacent, or utterly misinformed, about radiation levels.
When we humans interfere with Nature at a genetic level, as with nuclear wastes or GMOs, a Pandoras box is opened up, and all sorts of ungodly chaos can spill out. But we can still hope to turn this around. Nature is not an inert, incapacitated victim. Nature has the inherent capacity to heal itself, and we all need to trust this mysterious power, and treat it with reverence and intelligence. If, as a whole, humans opt for this attitude, there is still a way out of the encircling darkness. Nature does not need us, but we need Nature, now more than ever. If only on an individual level, if you follow our advice about natural healing, you may be able to strengthen the resources of you body to cope with the onslaught of radioactive toxins.
An article originally posted in the Times of India has spawned global fascination with a strange spider attack in the town of Sadiya in Assam. One would expect a good measure of rumor to get mixed up with the facts. One would also expect Fox News to latch on (much like a venomous spider!) to this story for its “fear factor”, so beneficial to ratings. That said, the phenomenon itself is not so easily explained away.
As reported in today’s Huffington Post in an article which simply recapitulates similar information found elsewhere on internet news sites, there was an uncannily aggressive invasion of an Indian town by an as yet unidentified species of spider on May 8, during a religious festival in the town of Sadiya. Reportedly, two people have died from the spider venom, although their deaths may, as skeptics point out, be attributable to infection due to unsterilized draining of the wound by local healers. Nonetheless, there has been a spate of injuries, many requiring hospitalization. Arachnid experts have been trying to identify the species. The consensus is that this spider is not one native to the province of Assam, in northeastern India, which has no indigenous populations of highly venomous spiders. Tarantulas are native to the region, but none possessed of high potency venom.
Indian arachnologists are currently investigating whether this might be some wholly unrecorded species of spider, an as yet unidentified type of tarantula, a black wishbone variety or possibly a funnel-web species. These last two species are native to Australia, but not to the Indian subcontinent.
If this is not then a local species, where did it emerge from? And how to explain the nature and ferocity of these attacks?
According to Dr. L.R. Saikia, Chair of the Department of Life Sciences of Dibrugarh University, the spider “leaps at anything that comes close…and latches on to them after biting.” Local people have spoken of this phenomenon of spiders leaping, biting and latching on to their flesh. This would seem to be normal behavior for species of jumping spiders, yet the spider’s ability to do this is partly attributable to the strength of it’s biting mechanism, the arachnid version of mandible and teeth: “The chelicerae and fangs of this critter are quite powerful,” stresses Dr. Saikia.
Is this story truly noteworthy, or just a weird and over-hyped occurrence that sets off the arachnaphobia alarm in urban populations?
I would like to suggest that this story be viewed in a more comprehensive context. Nowadays, we are receiving multiple, sickening evidence of mass deaths of birds, fish, and marine mammals. These sudden and deeply saddening events are being reported from many quarters. A simple search online for “sudden bird deaths” will provide evidence of this phenomenon, which is now becoming increasingly commonplace. These surreal “death events” foreshadow mass extinction of species, a globe wide pattern of accelerated species extinctions we know objectively is now occurring at a disturbing rate. Once gone, a species will never return. And humans are no different. Are we living on borrowed time? I think so. And which species has been responsible for the decimation of countless others? No prizes for guessing the right answer.
James Lovelock, the originator of the Gaia theory, was first attacked and later embraced by many of his peers in the field of genetics. Gaia theory describes the Earth as one great living organism, with multiple species making up many of its constituent parts.
Dr. James Lovelock, founder of the Gaia hypothesis
One constituent part has proliferated so much, and done so much damage to the rest of the organism, that it can only be likened to cancer. That cancer is us, homo sapiens.
The way Leonardo Da Vinci really sees us
If we look around for signs of how our sick state of imbalance has reverberated through the various kingdoms of nature, we find the writing on the wall, not chalked on faintly, but Writ Large.
If you still don’t believe me, check out this photo of mosquito swarms in Belarus:
Now check out this photo of radioactive smoke emitted from fires at core meltdowns at Fukushima reactors 1 and 3:

Look carefully: do you notice a similarity here?
Okay, perhaps you do not want to see this striking correspondence. Perhaps you prefer to look away, and bury your head in the sand. Perhaps you would prefer to believe what government “scientists” and other “expert” flunkeys are feeding you. But just in case you would like to be be reminded of how the greatest genius produced by Western civilization thought of such types, here is another clue:
Inside the Brain of the Government Authorities and Nuclear Regulators
Just remember: if you don’t think for yourself, someone else is going to be doing your thinking for you. And who might that be, I wonder?
By the way, if you enjoyed this post, look for the follow up where I will explore how protease inhibitors could be used against the venomous spider bites in a similar way in which they are being used to fight the AIDS virus.
