Do you know what's good for you? Have you personally studied various
cures, potions and concoctions to figure this out, or are you taking
someone else's word for it? Do you have any personal experience with
certain substances, medications or procedures when treating your
disease, or are you trusting someone else that they know better which
will work and which will not? Are you using an allopathic physician, a
naturopath, some other alternative practitioner, or maybe a combination
of all these? Are you sure the physician you use has told you all the
alternatives you have to choose from? Are you sure you know what would
work best for your particular circumstance?
Chances are you might think you do, but that you do not. The simple fact
may be that there are just too many treatment choices for any one
person to know them all. Yet, sadly, in this nation of supposedly free
people, we don't have access to nearly enough of those treatments. The
FDA has already decided for you that many of those treatments are
unworthy of your time. They have done so despite evidence from other
parts of the world that some of these work for some (or even most)
people who try them. One might ask why an agency charged with
determining the safety and efficacy of food and drugs would prevent
proven cures from coming to market in the US, and one would be right to
ponder this question long and hard and look into the matter deeply.
The answer, however, is really simple. The FDA doesn't care about you.
It doesn't care about safety. It doesn't care about food safety and it
doesn't care about drug safety. If it did, aspartame would not be
allowed as an ingredient in food products. If it did there would be more
complete and comprehensive studies on drugs and vaccines before they
became available on the market and those studies would be done by an
independent laboratory with no financial conflict of interest. If they
did, then they would report in great detail on a variety of health care
approaches rather than just blowing off every approach other than
allopathic. If they did, then there'd likely be a lot less processed
food on our store shelves and consumers would be more educated as to the
dangers such foods present to your health. If they did, then there
wouldn't be this epidemic of prescription drug deaths taking place in
our nation.
Some would like to blame this on incompetence. They like to point at the
size and scope of the FDA and claim that it is too big and cumbersome
to do an effective job. I don't believe that. I believe that, at least
at the top, the FDA knows exactly what it's doing. I believe these
people are malicious and dangerous. They don't care about your safety
because they do care about the profits of some very large and
influential multinational corporations. They care about large
agricultural corporations and the large chemical corporations (Monsanto,
et al.) that provide them with herbicides and pesticides. They care
about the large pharmaceutical corporate entities. They care about large
medical interests like the AMA. They don't care about what makes you
sick or about what makes you well because you don't supply their
political cronies with the money necessary to stay in power.
You can't tell me the people at the top of the FDA are stupid or
incompetent. In fact, I think they're probably pretty smart and that
they know exactly what they're doing. There is plenty of scientific
evidence out there to support my point of view that they have approved
dangerous food and drugs for consumption. I somehow doubt very much that
all this evidence has escaped their notice. They simply choose to
ignore it. Worse than that, they choose to prevent everyday working folk
from understanding it. It's not enough to allow their corporate buddies
to produce food and drug products that poison the bodies of decent,
hard working Americans, they allow the use of propaganda to poison the
minds of those same Americans to make them think that such food and drug
products are healthy and safe. They abuse the trust that has been
instilled in their institution so that the poor fools who still listen
to them will continue to believe that we have the "safest" supply of
"healthy" food and the most advanced medicine in the world. Nothing
could be further from the truth. The trust has been broken. All so that a
few people at the top of a few corporations can reap a harvest of
obscene wealth from the seeds of human suffering they have sown.
Making sure your food and drug supply is dangerous and poisoned is just
one way the elite ruling class makes sure the sick of this nation don't
get well. They also do their best to try to prevent drugs and natural
cures known to be safe and effective from being sold in the United
States. Marijuana is perhaps the best known for this. For decades we
have been told that marijuana had no medicinal effects. The FDA even
declared that testing could not be done in the United States so that
science could not find differently. We of course now know better. Anyone
who still believes that marijuana has no medicinal uses is so far in
denial as to be beyond hope that the light of reason will ever penetrate
the darkness that has warped their mind. Either that or they're
involved with the drug war and on such a terrible power trip that they
have no empathy toward the sick and dying and perhaps even enjoy the
pain and suffering they cause.
Why would these people still work to prevent access to medical marijuana
even after it has helped so many and so much evidence has been
presented that it does, indeed, have medical uses? The answer is again,
money. There is more profit in marijuana if it is kept illegal. By
keeping drugs illegal, governments with their monopolies of legitimized
force are better able to control the drug trade. Look into the evidence
that the CIA is one of the biggest drug trade organizations in the
world. You can continue to hide your head in the sand and believe that
intelligence agencies have only the best interests of the public at
heart or you can open your mind and at least look over the information
and admit that the possibility exists that some people just might be in
it for the wealth and power. Once it is legal to grow and it is removed
from the black market, the risk (of death and imprisonment) has been
lifted and more people will compete to grow it leading to a fall in
prices and a reduction of profit margins. At that point those involved
in the black market will have to look elsewhere to make the kind of
profits they now enjoy.
But it's more than that. It's more than marijuana and illegal drugs. The
FDA prevents proven cures from coming to market, especially natural
cures. Cancer cures, for instance, have been around for years, but they
would have you believe that cancer is some mysterious disease that
baffles the medical establishment and will likely never be cured. Look
into alternative cancer cures. Look into essiac tea, Royal Raymond Rife,
Dr. Simoncini and his baking soda cure, "The Cure for All Cancers,"
dietary cures, etc. All these have been available for some time and
there are thousands of case studies where they've worked. I've even
heard from a personal source whom I trust implicitly that there is a
cancer vaccine that has been shown to be effective available in other
countries but not yet here. Yet these cures remain elusive to Americans
who are suffering from such disease. They are not widely known to the
general public. The FDA and the government has done more than just keep
knowledge of such cures from the people, they have actively prevented
doctors from treating patients even to the point of arresting them and
destroying their research and notes no matter how many people they have
helped and how much suffering they have relieved.
Why would the FDA and other government agencies want to prevent such
cures from being known? Why would they want to crack down on doctors who
are helping patients using these methods? Why would they imprison
people engaging in voluntary business interactions with one another? The
answer is again simple. Money, power and influence have everything to
do with it. How many people need to die before something is done about
this injustice? How much suffering has to occur before people realize
that those who were entrusted to alleviate such suffering are actually
condoning the practices that cause it due to their own greed and lust
for power?
Neither the pharmaceutical industry, the medical industry, nor the
financial industry want to see cures for many diseases come to market
when they can make so much more money by treating the patient's
condition for years. The pharmaceutical industry makes billions selling
expensive drugs such as chemotherapy drugs and the like. The medical
industry makes billions selling expensive treatments that take long
periods to complete such as radiation treatment. Researchers make
billions from government grants and charitable donations looking for
cures that always seem to show promise and yet never seem safe or
effective enough to come to market. The financial industry makes
billions selling health insurance to a populace that is frightened of
coming down with a disease that is expensive to treat and without
insurance will likely result in their financial ruin. This is even more
true today now that government has mandated insurance for everyone under
pain of fines for those who do not comply.
The FDA, like so many other federal government agencies, has failed
utterly. It does not protect the public, it harms individuals that trust
it to make decisions for them. It has abused the power granted to it by
helping to enrich the ruling elite that already have too much wealth,
power and influence. It has helped dumb down the people of this nation
by fostering a false belief that their organization is looking out for
everyone's best interests and no one need take responsibility for their
own healthcare decisions. The FDA needs to be declawed. It needs to be
made into an advisory bureau only, with no method available to it to
enforce its will, if it is to exist at all.
Mostly, people need to be made aware of its foibles and start educating
others as to its true nature. People need to take responsibility for
their own healthcare and the healthcare of their families and friends
who still wish to believe in the magic of government and trust its
agencies. People need to demand that government stay out of their
private business as well as their private lives. People need to deny
consent to be ruled even by the alphabet agencies supposedly set up to
protect them. After all, if I wish to listen to the advice of someone,
is it right for someone in power to force me to listen to the advice of
someone else? Is it right for someone to force me to do business with
someone I do not wish to do business with? No one should have that kind
of power, no individual and no group of individuals. I own my own body
and they do not. It is my decision what I put in it and no one should
have the power to prohibit me from doing so or to force some substance
or treatment upon me which I do not wish to take.

The Energy and Currency Cartels, the Economy and Your Life
When I express my views on energy and the future of humanity I am oft
times labeled a dreamer. I am sometimes told the technologies I speak of
are too expensive and are therefore not worth it for homeowners to
install. I am told that homeowners would be better off financially if
they continue to pay the low prices charged by energy companies with
their coal burning and nuclear power plants. I am told that cars can't
make the change over to battery power because the technology simply
isn't there. I don't believe any of that is true. I think that
technologies have been developed that are far ahead of anything many of
us might imagine. I believe that the power elite I often talk about are
preventing these technologies from getting out simply so they can
continue to control your life.
The key to the above is control. It is not money. It is not profit. It is a way to maintain control over you and your life. It is a way to control everything, everywhere. As long as you are paying a certain percentage of your income to someone else so that you can power your refrigerators, televisions, computers and other electronics, you are dependent on their technologies and their aptitude. As long as that's the case, they'll be able to cut your power, for whatever reason they please, whether you like it or not. I'm not saying they will, or that you'd give them any reason to do it, but these are uncertain times we live in. We are dependent on oil and its supply can be interrupted for a variety of reasons.
The energy cartels are tied into another, more powerful cartel. They are tied into the currency cartel. This is a group of financial elites who supply the western world with its currencies, including the US dollar (in the form of Federal Reserve Notes, or FRNs) and the European Union's euro. It could be said that this really took hold when Nixon nullified the Bretton Woods agreement by decoupling the dollar from gold. He then went on to strike a deal with the Arab world that they would only sell their oil for dollars, hence creating the petrodollar and at the same time making the FRN the world's reserve currency. So should the need for oil as an energy source be greatly reduced or eliminated, some very powerful corporate interests would lose a great deal of their power and influence. This makes for a huge incentive for both the currency and energy cartels to make sure this doesn't happen.
Oil drives the economies of the Western world. Imagine a world where all modern devices are no longer able to operate. Imagine a world where cars and trucks no longer operated. How would product come to market? How would your electronic devices work? How would we communicate? Your iphones and ipads would be worthless collections of silicon and metal alloys. Your televisions, light bulbs, electric heaters and air conditioners would become relics of a bygone era. How long until all the modern processed food emptied from store shelves? In such a world one would soon either adapt or die. You could either learn the old ways, or we could develop new ways.
I don't like to sound like a gloom and doomer, but at the same time I don't want my positive nature to cause me to turn a blind eye to reality or history. The reality is that the energy and currency cartels have a tremendous amount of power and influence over our federal government and the senators and congressmen who claim to represent the people. History has shown that our "lawmakers" will make laws beneficial to these powers rather than laws beneficial to the economic under classes or protecting individual rights. The reality is that we've been going through a long economic depression. History shows that often times hard economic times end in massive and very destructive wars. History also shows that the same energy and currency cartels benefit greatly from those wars. Here's an interesting lecture on how all wars can be tracked back to private central bankers as the initial fomenters of events leading to war called "All Wars are Bankers' Wars" by Mike Rivero. I urge everyone reading this to listen to it all the way through.
Who are these men to make such monumental decisions? Who are they who feel they can threaten the most powerful governments on the planet? They threaten more than governments when they make such threats, they threaten you, your way of life, your children and grandchildren's future, and everyone's economic security. Who are they who feel they can decide the fates of millions? Who are they who would cause such human suffering to try to sate their own insatiable lust for wealth and power? Are these men gods? Are they demons? What magic do they hold over otherwise good men to cause them to turn against their fellow human beings?
These men are not gods or demons, though they might fancy themselves to be. They have no power over other men, but these other men let greed and lust for power rule over their judgment and corrupt their principles. They excuse their immorality by claiming it necessary for the "greater good," but in their hearts of hearts they know the greater good is not served and a great evil is perpetrated. Those they have corrupted claim a higher purpose, but they have been lowered to the basest of levels and seek to do the same to all mankind. These men are the central bankers. These men are the influential corporatists. These men may live amongst all the finest luxuries this physical world has to offer, but their souls are black as coal and their spirits reside in the depths of the deepest, most stagnant, most fetid marsh imaginable.
Money is not wealth, but those entrusted with its creation use it to enrich their own selves. Money is not power, but those who create it use it to influence those who have obtained positions entrusted with certain powers. Money is not energy, but those who create it have used that power to corner the market on fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are not the only sources of energy, but those who produce them would like to keep everyone dependent upon them. The way to break the cartels is to break the cycle of dependence. The way to break the cycle of dependence is to stop using the products they offer. As hard as it sounds, we must each personally make an effort to do what we can to stop using fiat currencies and to stop using the fossil fuels the cartels provide.
It is important that we strive for independence. It is important that we honor individual property rights. It is important that we do our best to become self owning individuals who decide for ourselves which other individuals or groups of individuals we want to do business with and which individuals or groups of individuals we don't want to do business with. In this way we can shun those who would wage wars on others. In this way we can shame those who would bring harm to others. In this way we can decide with our dollars who deserves our money and who doesn't. In this way we can decide for ourselves who we associate with and who we don't. In this way we can deny our consent to be governed. No individual or group of individuals should have the power to force you to do business with them. No individual or group of individuals should have the power to force you to associate with them. No individual or group of individuals should have the power to force you to let them violate your natural rights or suffer catastrophic consequences. It is only when everyone has the power to say "no" to these individuals or groups of individuals without fear of retribution that mankind will be truly free. It is only then that we will truly prosper. It is only then we will be allowed to become the best humans we can possibly become.

Respect and the American Presidency
There's a famous radio talk show I listen to. Actually, it's on late at
night and so I listen to the podcast. The host will occasionally have a
guest on who will speak about the Obama administration and many times
these guests will refer to the president simply as Obama. The host
believes that proper respect should be shown and the top executive
should be referred to as "president Obama." He thinks that even if one
doesn't respect the man one should respect the office. I happen to
disagree. I think proper respect is earned, and in my eyes Mr. Obama has
not earned my respect. In my lifetime no one who has ever obtained the
office of POTUS has earned my respect, with perhaps the exception of JFK
but I was only three when he was killed. It is therefore extremely
difficult for me to respect even the office itself.
In fact, most of these politicians running for office have earned my disrespect. It's so easy to see them trying to deceive. I see them making promises I know they won't keep. I see them saying they'll vote or act one way while doing the exact opposite. I see that they don't care what the people think, that they are more concerned with some agenda behind the scenes. I can tell that they are working toward something that resembles the old Soviet Union or Nazi Germany. I can see through their ruse. They are habitual liars. They are powdered conmen paraded in front of the fawning masses by complicit media outlets engaging in propaganda. They are the worst type of criminals for they try to legitimize their crimes and force the masses to go along without protest. I hold no hope that any of that will change for the better anytime soon.
I would have more respect for a mob boss than I do for the president. At least they don't try to pretend they're something they're not. At least you know when you pay them their extortion money that you're being extorted. They don't try to tell you that your money is going to a good cause. They don't try to convince you that those they kill were terrorists who deserved it. You know that when you pay the mob their extortion money that you're paying them to leave you alone. At least the mob will do that. When you pay your taxes, the government will still intrude on your life and tell you how you should run your business.
I was brought up being taught to respect the president. He held the highest office in the land and supposedly had to be of the highest caliber in order to do so. When I look back on it and see the men who have held the office in my lifetime, is it any wonder I hold no respect for the office any longer? Johnson was a cold hearted power monger who deepened our involvement in Vietnam. Nixon was a crook who wanted to be remembered differently. Ford was the only president ever to hold that office who was not elected in any way, shape or form. He was appointed to the office of vice president after Agnew resigned and to the office of president after Nixon resigned. Cater was, well, Carter. He might have been well intentioned, but he seemed so inept. Reagan showed promise, but his actions never lived up to his words. Bush the elder was a war mongering liar whose lips could not be read. Clinton, though entertaining, was of dubious character. It's a little more than simply strange how many people he had business dealings with ended up murdered or suicided. Bush the younger was perhaps the most criminal, the worst war criminal, the most treasonous of all, or so I thought until this current administration. Bush's use of imprisonment and torture was sickening and inexcusable. Obama has surpassed all that I just mentioned in terms of audacity, a sick disrespect for morality and human life, and far reaching criminality.
Now it has come to the fore that this administration has been assassinating its own citizens without due process of law. Now the Congress is finally investigating how it came to pass that a natural born American citizen and a sixteen year old American boy were killed by remote control drones piloted by CIA operatives. Now we see executive level memos expressing an opinion that the president has the "right" to kill American citizens if certain poorly defined conditions are met, conditions that when loosely interpreted could net me a death by drone sentence.
After all, I am a Ron Paul supporter and that could make me a terrorist according to the MIAC report. I am quite vocal about it and that could make me a leader in a terrorist organization. I have even voted for Ron Paul and that could be interpreted as plotting terrorist activity against the establishment. You see the slippery slope we're on? And just because something like this hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it can't or won't happen. After all, if you give a man the power to do something, it's only a matter of time before he uses that power.
And I am asked to respect such a man simply because he holds a powerful office? Indeed, I disrespect him even more for succumbing to the temptation to use and abuse such awesome power. I disrespect the office even more for having usurped and centralized such power in the first place when it was meant to be spread out evenly between branches of government. That usurpation was criminal to begin with and the first president to use such unconstitutional powers should have instead refused to use them and insisted they be removed from the office of president and then placed back in the hands of the people where such power belongs. By accepting such power and trying to legitimize its use, the office of president has become illegitimate in my eyes, and should be illegitimate in the eyes of anyone who respects the Constitution of the United States of America.
No president of our nation should be granted the legitimate use of such power. It is not a power of the president of the United States. It is a power of the Fuhrer. It is a power of the Premier. It is a power of the Chairman. It is a power of the tyrant. To use such power is to be a tyrant. To use such power is to discard what it is to be American. To use such power is to violate the basic principles that made this nation the shining beacon of liberty it once was. To have and to use such power helps turn our constitutional republic into an authoritarian dictatorship. This is not how it's supposed to be.
I don't respect Hitler. I don't respect his office of Fuhrer. I don't respect Stalin. I don't respect his office of Premier. I don't respect Mao. I don't respect his office of Chairman. I no longer respect the office of President of the United States. I don't respect it if a Republican holds it and I don't respect it if a Democrat does. This office disrespects me, it disrespects humanity, why should anyone respect such a disgusting tribute to ultimate power? If I am ever to respect the office again, or the individual who holds the office, than that office must be occupied by someone who reflects the values I hold dear. It must respect individual freedom. It must respect honesty. It must respect integrity. It must respect peaceful statesmanship. And so must the individual who holds said office. When I see a person whose actions exemplify such qualities holding the office, then I will once again respect that person. When I can one day go to the polls and vote for a greater good rather than a lesser evil, then I will respect the office. Until such a day, the powers that be do not have my consent to rule over me.
Personally, I think the President of the United States of America has been a puppet of an elite ruling class for a long time now. I think he is just following the orders of a secret government. I will respect the president when he stands up to those who control the office. I will respect him when he says "no" to the military/industrial complex. I will respect him when he speaks out against the central banking and energy cartels. I will respect him when he moves to restore the Constitution to the place of honor it deserves.
Until such a day, I think we should be careful as to where we place our respect. Placing respect in an office or a person who hasn't earned it helps to legitimize the corruption of that person and that office. Respecting such a person or such an office regardless of whether that respect is earned only helps to embolden that person or that office to continue and expand its corruption. It is tantamount to condoning actions that should not be condoned. It is only when we show them the disrespect they deserve and turn our backs on them for their misdeeds that we will see change in a positive direction.

In fact, most of these politicians running for office have earned my disrespect. It's so easy to see them trying to deceive. I see them making promises I know they won't keep. I see them saying they'll vote or act one way while doing the exact opposite. I see that they don't care what the people think, that they are more concerned with some agenda behind the scenes. I can tell that they are working toward something that resembles the old Soviet Union or Nazi Germany. I can see through their ruse. They are habitual liars. They are powdered conmen paraded in front of the fawning masses by complicit media outlets engaging in propaganda. They are the worst type of criminals for they try to legitimize their crimes and force the masses to go along without protest. I hold no hope that any of that will change for the better anytime soon.
I would have more respect for a mob boss than I do for the president. At least they don't try to pretend they're something they're not. At least you know when you pay them their extortion money that you're being extorted. They don't try to tell you that your money is going to a good cause. They don't try to convince you that those they kill were terrorists who deserved it. You know that when you pay the mob their extortion money that you're paying them to leave you alone. At least the mob will do that. When you pay your taxes, the government will still intrude on your life and tell you how you should run your business.
I was brought up being taught to respect the president. He held the highest office in the land and supposedly had to be of the highest caliber in order to do so. When I look back on it and see the men who have held the office in my lifetime, is it any wonder I hold no respect for the office any longer? Johnson was a cold hearted power monger who deepened our involvement in Vietnam. Nixon was a crook who wanted to be remembered differently. Ford was the only president ever to hold that office who was not elected in any way, shape or form. He was appointed to the office of vice president after Agnew resigned and to the office of president after Nixon resigned. Cater was, well, Carter. He might have been well intentioned, but he seemed so inept. Reagan showed promise, but his actions never lived up to his words. Bush the elder was a war mongering liar whose lips could not be read. Clinton, though entertaining, was of dubious character. It's a little more than simply strange how many people he had business dealings with ended up murdered or suicided. Bush the younger was perhaps the most criminal, the worst war criminal, the most treasonous of all, or so I thought until this current administration. Bush's use of imprisonment and torture was sickening and inexcusable. Obama has surpassed all that I just mentioned in terms of audacity, a sick disrespect for morality and human life, and far reaching criminality.
Now it has come to the fore that this administration has been assassinating its own citizens without due process of law. Now the Congress is finally investigating how it came to pass that a natural born American citizen and a sixteen year old American boy were killed by remote control drones piloted by CIA operatives. Now we see executive level memos expressing an opinion that the president has the "right" to kill American citizens if certain poorly defined conditions are met, conditions that when loosely interpreted could net me a death by drone sentence.
After all, I am a Ron Paul supporter and that could make me a terrorist according to the MIAC report. I am quite vocal about it and that could make me a leader in a terrorist organization. I have even voted for Ron Paul and that could be interpreted as plotting terrorist activity against the establishment. You see the slippery slope we're on? And just because something like this hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it can't or won't happen. After all, if you give a man the power to do something, it's only a matter of time before he uses that power.
And I am asked to respect such a man simply because he holds a powerful office? Indeed, I disrespect him even more for succumbing to the temptation to use and abuse such awesome power. I disrespect the office even more for having usurped and centralized such power in the first place when it was meant to be spread out evenly between branches of government. That usurpation was criminal to begin with and the first president to use such unconstitutional powers should have instead refused to use them and insisted they be removed from the office of president and then placed back in the hands of the people where such power belongs. By accepting such power and trying to legitimize its use, the office of president has become illegitimate in my eyes, and should be illegitimate in the eyes of anyone who respects the Constitution of the United States of America.
No president of our nation should be granted the legitimate use of such power. It is not a power of the president of the United States. It is a power of the Fuhrer. It is a power of the Premier. It is a power of the Chairman. It is a power of the tyrant. To use such power is to be a tyrant. To use such power is to discard what it is to be American. To use such power is to violate the basic principles that made this nation the shining beacon of liberty it once was. To have and to use such power helps turn our constitutional republic into an authoritarian dictatorship. This is not how it's supposed to be.
I don't respect Hitler. I don't respect his office of Fuhrer. I don't respect Stalin. I don't respect his office of Premier. I don't respect Mao. I don't respect his office of Chairman. I no longer respect the office of President of the United States. I don't respect it if a Republican holds it and I don't respect it if a Democrat does. This office disrespects me, it disrespects humanity, why should anyone respect such a disgusting tribute to ultimate power? If I am ever to respect the office again, or the individual who holds the office, than that office must be occupied by someone who reflects the values I hold dear. It must respect individual freedom. It must respect honesty. It must respect integrity. It must respect peaceful statesmanship. And so must the individual who holds said office. When I see a person whose actions exemplify such qualities holding the office, then I will once again respect that person. When I can one day go to the polls and vote for a greater good rather than a lesser evil, then I will respect the office. Until such a day, the powers that be do not have my consent to rule over me.
