Part I: Clean, Green Cosmetics ARE Beautiful, Lifesaving, Honorable, And Cool!
The consumer buying choices you make for your skin care, make up, hair care, home cleaning products, gardening/lawn products, baby products, and food…. they all add up in a big way and affect your health, longevity, quality of life.
In part I of my radio show today, October 29th, 2011, my conversation with Marj Melchiors of Cosmetics Without Synthetics was timely and important for all women, teens, and everyone.
Check out her website for natural cosmetics/hair/body care products that are non-toxic, holistic, and beautiful: www.allnaturalcosmetics.com
There are a ton of toxic, harmful ingredients in sunscreen, make up, lotions, bath/shower gels, hair care, baby products, and pet products…. Why? This is a 'wild west' in the business world, and there are virtually no regulations whatsoever. Thus, you need to be wise enough to take action for your health and be your own advocate. The FDA and other incompetent tax-draining agencies have no interest in the safety of cosmetics and the MANY chemical ingredients that are in the daily lotions and potions most consumers assume are safe and then slather onto their skin.
Be careful of anything you cannot pronounce… and even seemingly innocent words like "parfum" are just another way of hiding more than 200 toxic chemicals that make the synthesized, desired scent the manufacturer desires for their product.
Instead, look for "Essential Oils" as the natural, holistic, healing, honorable way to bring fragrance to a beauty lotion/potion/make-up/hair care.
Be careful of ALL "Parabens" such as Methyl-paraben, and propyl-paraben. These are toxic preservatives.
Be careful of anything with Propylene Glycol. This is extremely toxic. It makes a lotion or shampoo/make-up more viscous and keeps something in a liquid state. However, the goons that make the commercialized products KNOW this stuff is horribly intoxicating and dangerous to the body. It goes directly through the skin, into the blood stream, and then your Liver and Kidneys are left to deal with yet one more toxic chemical.
Instead, a good company will use natural oils and Glycerin to make the desired viscosity for any products they make. These natural oils are actually healing and beautifying to the skin.
Another really dangerous ingredient is "PEG" or Poly-ethylene Glycol. There is usually a number after the acronym of "PEG." Be VERY careful of this and NEVER buy a product with this ingredient. Super toxic, very bad for the body, and certainly bad for the waterways it gets washed into and pollutes the oceans and drinking water.
Please make sure you take control of your life by reading up on the unsavory practices of most cosmetics companies that puts their own bottom-line before your health, wellbeing, safety, life.
Clean, pure cosmetics is something to get excited about.
"Perfect sincerity and transparency make a great part of beauty, as in dew drops, lakes, and diamonds."—- Henry David Thoreau
Part II: Dr. Stephen Blake: Veterinarian Extraordinaire!
Check out his AMAZING web site and get informed and be empowered now! The Pet Whisperer
I cannot repeat enough times how incredibly diabolical the 'vaccine industry' is to both people and to animals.
As Dr. Blake confirmed in our conversation on the air, vaccines have never been proven to be safe or even effective! Yikes! What are we allowing to be shot into the bodies of our innocent pets?
And why is it always the mentality with way too many Vets that vaccines are remotely safe and even necessary? Who REALLY taught these Vets their medical information when they were in Veterinary school? And why is it "one size of vaccine fits all" mentality?
Looks like our Veterinary Schools have been corrupted by the very same system that corrupted the human medical schools…. the big pharma-chemical paradigm.
What about food? Food IS medicine. It can also be a killer. The choices you make as a 'pet parent' can bring life or bring dis-ease and death to your beloved pet.
Understand the ingredients in commercial pet foods, and avoid mass-produced, chemical laden pet food brands [that are, ironically, sold relentlessly in Veterinarian offices!]
Enzymes are key to your health and your animals' health. Everyone needs digestive Enzymes and proper nutrients to nourish the body.
I love a product called "Green Mush" by Healthforce Nutritionals along with digestive Enzymes and probiotics for my pets. I also put some Flax Seed oil into their food, too. A great product called "Salba" or ground flax seeds gives some help to the digestion, and your pet will start to have a better life with giving such health giving supplements to them.
RAW food, human-grade, Organic, free range, humane. I am personally a Vegetarian, but I realize that my Cats are natural predators and need to eat meat. I buy them human grade, Organic, local meat from humane farms. I give them Raw plus the best canned food I can buy. Some brands I personally like are "Spots Stew" and "Weruva" among other good brands that make small batches, honorably made pet food.
Among the many topics discussed with Dr. Blake today, the wretched Chemicals used for "Flea" and other parasite infestations are DEADLY to our animals. They cause dis-ease, cancer, thyroid and other degenerative conditions.
Avoid ALL products that you can buy from the pet store OR your Vet where you put a chemically laden toxic soup between the back shoulder blades of your beloved pet!
Have you ever asked yourself WHY these products have to be placed between the back shoulder blades? This is crazy. It is so highly toxic that when YOU touch these chemical products, YOU will get sick, too. It trans-dermally soaks through your skin and right into your blood stream.
Horrible. Who is in charge here to oversee these toxic Chemicals? Again, it is the "Wild West" with the chemical industry machine.
Instead, check out Dr. Blake's Web site, The Pet Whisperer and check out your many options for healthy care for your pets.
I like to use anything with NEEM oil in it. It works wonders on unwanted pests. There are shampoos, and even sprays. You should also always put some Garlic into your pets food, and this certainly helps to keep away unwanted parasites and fleas. I like to buy the "Kyolic" brand in capsules. You open some capsules and mix it into your pets food [depending upon the size of your pet.] You can also chop up some Organic, fresh Garlic and put it into your pets food, too, if you prefer.
Be the advocate for your family that you have to be today.
Be a voice with your local and nationally elected [asleep at the wheel] Government officials. I have no idea how these men and women, whose jobs it is to simply protect the taxpayer/consumer/citizen/environment, can ignore their obvious duties to this world. It defies all logic that they are so ignorant to these clear and present dangers in our world that are easily expunged if they only had the backbone and the will to do so.
I send Love to all the animals whose lives have been cut short from vaccines, toxic food, and other chemicals that should never have been allowed into the market place. Our voices have to lift higher and louder to remove these toxins from the "mainstream" Veterinarian practices.
" What is happening to our world is almost too colossal for human comprehension to contain…. To contemplate its girth and its circumference, to attempt to define it, to try and fight it all at once, is impossible. The only way to combat it is by fighting specific wars in specific ways."—- Arundhati Roy

"Taking no chances means wasting your dreams" — Ellen Hopkins
Saturday, February 12th, 2011, I visited with Deb Marsden, the founder of Connecticut Farm Fresh Express and with Carollanne Crichton, the founder of Solavedi Ayurvedic Skin/Body Care and now Organic Perfumes….
So, where do you start in 'Going Green' and how do you actually begin a healing, holistic, and conscious lifestyle?
#1. You buy local.
Local, Sustainably produced Agriculture both stimulates the local economy and nourishes your body with more vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in the produce than something that was picked before it was ripe and trucked/flown from a far away destination.
The added benefit to eating locally grown produce is that is was pollenated by local BEES! This strengthens your immune system for your particular climate, and enhances your body's ability to live in tandem with the seasons.
Buying Organic, and Sustainable is KEY to building your immune system, making your brain function clearly [yes, food plays the biggest role in your emotions, memory, and ability to think] AND building a local economy that rewards small, local farmers for their ecologically friendly practices.
… It's a win/win…. Let's put our investments where the local, sustainable farmer is….
I love Connecticut Farm Fresh Express www.ctffe.com because I know, for certain, that I am getting clean, organic and sustainably produced food that is both local and small in production.
I say "NO" to the big, Agribusiness Factory Farms! They are bad for the environment as they dump more toxic waste into our waterways than all other industries combined and pollute our last remaining open spaces with their toxic pesticides and horrifyingly dangerous Genetically Modified Organisms [Monsanto is one of the worst of these companies and is, by far, the most evil company that you could research on your own. Unbelievable practices that are producing never-seen-before Frankenstein chemicals into our water, air, land, bodies.]
It is proven that Organic, Sustainable, and local produce contains more phytonutrients, antioxidants, and minerals. It is also economically better for families since buying DIRECT from the Farmer as Farmer's Markets or via Community Sustainable Agriculture groups/Co-ops is more cost effective.
Connecticut Farm Fresh Express, LLC
Deb Marsden, Owner
If you live anywhere in Connecticut, you can order from Thursday through Tuesday morning [6AM] your sustainable groceries to be DELIVERED to your door by Thursday or Friday, depending on where you live.
Cool. I love it. It's like Christmas every week for me, and I get the added "happy" benefit from eating lovingly produced food… YUM.
For my out-of-State listeners and worldwide listeners, you can google sustainable Farmer's Markets and CSA's/Co-ops to find an organization that gives their communities similar eco-friendly choices!
Let's take back our world and use our economic power as consumers to send a very clear message to big-agribusinesses, factory farms, and elected Government Officials who have been bribed with campaign donations from the oil/gas, agribusiness, and cattle industries to "look the other way" at this environmental destruction, and lowered quality of life for everyone.
Factory Farms like this one pictured are nightmares for both the animals and the environment. These animals are forced to live out a miserable life stuffed into a cage with no way to turn around, exposed to abusive and virus-ridden, loud and nauseating conditions that cause them to become diseased… then they are force fed junk [like ARSENIC] to make them fatter quicker and shot with antibiotics and hormones…. this is a disease causing industry for PEOPLE, the environment [the waste is worse than any other on earth and destroys ground water], and the animals suffer unspeakably.
… Time to wake up? I believe it is time to force these factory farms to shut down.
Consumption of factory farmed flesh for humans is the PROXIMATE CAUSE of most auto-immune diseases today.
By the way, consumption of 'meat' [animal flesh] causes your body to become ACIDIC. Every bite…. your body turns acid. This is HOW your body gets weakened, sick, and creates fertile ground for bacteria, fungus, virus to grow.
If you decide to eat animal flesh, I urge you to purchase LOCAL, small farm, sustainable, free range, grass fed, humanely raised animals ONLY! …. And cut down your habits from daily to once a week, and then to once in a while…. your body will start to detox the acid more efficiently, and you will lose those extra pounds you've been needing to rid yourself of!
You need an ALKALINE body chemistry to be healthy. Green foods such as Chlorella, Wheat Grass, Dandelion, Arugula, Broccoli, Spinach…. and all GREEN VEGETABLES create the homeostasis that you need to maintain and bright mind, energy, strong immune system.
Also, try to eat at least 50% of your fruits and veggies RAW. Get a Vita-Mix [awesome] multi-speed blender. I prefer a super, well built blender that can make soups to ice cream [like the Vita-Mix] over a juicer. You get all of the good fiber and the WHOLE plant/fruit this way. Your skin will thank you!
What you put into your body counts, and what you put onto your body counts.
Want to be beautiful at every decade of your life? I do.
I love artisan companies like Solavedi Ayurvedic Skin and Body care because they are lovingly, mindfully, ecologically produced with ingredients that are directly from the earth…. God's garden.
I believe Cleopatra and the world's great beauties utilized God's garden of amazing spices, herbs, vegetables, minerals and fruits to enjoy both vibrant good looks and energetic, magnetic health. After all, health IS beautiful!

I believe small, organic companies are changing the taste of the consumer base for the better.
No longer do we want harmful chemicals slathered onto our bodies or factory-Frankenstein, processed anything— we want to the real, honest feeling of being at peace with the earth.
The feeling of getting back to our roots as living beings with emotions is something we have all experienced: either at the beach…. in the woods…. during a thunderstorm…. when it first snows…. the fresh air of Springtime… the warm sun on our skin…. It just feels good. You feel alive, free, balanced, happy.
You cannot reproduce this organic experience from a chemical-laden factory! Much to the chagrin of chemical, pharmaceutical, agri-businesses, and the oil/petroleum industries…. you just cannot synthesize the REAL, GOD MADE, Hand made goodness of this earth.
Ayurveda is the oldest form of medicinal healing we have on this earth. It is powerful, even miraculous in its healing properties to the body, mind, and the spirit."Ayush"= Life "Veda"= Knowledge
Our lives on this earth, and the quality of life on this earth TODAY and the question of whether we will have any life on earth in the future depends on every person to make mindful, quality choices in their daily habits.
It is more expensive to get sick. Doctors don't have the time to truly help you, and even more horrifying, they are never taught anything about Ayurvedic healing, homeopathy, NUTRITION, chemical dangers, Chinese meridiens/medicine, or herbs, vitamins, spices, food… they have no knowledge whatsoever and no training to organically, completely heal you naturally. It does not exist in their world. They are taught about pharmaceutical drugs and surgery. They are taught to treat the symptoms and NOT the whole body… it is totally crazy when you look at the mess of our system and how it got to be so inept [and corrupt]. And by the way, they are totally blinded into allegiance to some system that keeps them in business and the same system that controls all of the medical schools [the big pharmaceutical companies]. Thus, they have no clue when it comes to the damage that vaccines, factory chemicals, pollution in food and water, and bad, processed food does to children, adults, and our family companion animals. Unacceptable!
You need to be your own advocate and to help yourself, do the research, and command a better life into existence.

I am committed to giving to my listeners the knowledge that they are entitled to have in their lives.
I am so keenly aware of the confusing and false messages that we are constantly bombarded with in all aspects of the media, so my mission with my radio shows is to open the door to honorable, organically healthy information that will give you the tools to be truthfully healthy both inside and out.
Your body wants to heal itself! Yeah! Isn't that cool?
No body in the mainstream medical 'healthcare' paradigm is going to tell you this. It would cost them their profits. You staying on their anti-life drugs is what they want.
But your life is too important. Every single person has a God given mission to reach their fullest potential. To be healthy is supposed to be your birthright.
Making organic, healthy choices every day become habits that are life-giving and bring you emotional equilibrium and a sense of purpose.
"My own prescription for health is less paperwork and more running barefoot through the grass." — Terri Guillemets
Twelve years ago, I went on a very dark journey. I believe that this was the BIG LIGHTBULB impetus to dusting off my own ingenuity and finding a better way to health.
I went from one Doctor to the next with no answers yet lots of money and time wasted. I was given one toxic, dangerous medical test after the next [most Doctors don't bother to mention the dangers of most medical testing procedures] AND I was prescribed so many antibiotics and other toxic drugs I cringe whenever I think about that time in my life.
The turning point was when I found myself in an abusive, predatory "father knows best" Doctor's office. Alone. Desperate for answers. Trusting.
This Doctor was advanced in years. He was referred to me by a trusted friend from my church, and I made the mistake of blindly following this bad advise without having a healthy minded skepticism. However, most very ill people just want to trust a Doctor in white coat in the hope that they will find some relief from their suffering.
This Doctor did things to me that I cannot write about on my blog. I believe that I could not have been the first person he abused and patronized because he was "THE DOCTOR" in his mind, and you– the minions out there with no medical training– must shut up and be a good little patient.
Wow. Just briefly describing the situation gives me the creeps.
The moment I walked through the doors to the Upper East Side Brownstone medical office, it was bad energy times many billions…. I should have turned around and walked out…. but I had not yet been taught to LISTEN and to TAKE ACTION on my INTUITION.
The bad feeling was for good reason. The appointment was a nightmare of verbal, physical, and psychological abuse. This Doctor never helped me after my compliance and endurance of his tirades in his office and his overpowering me and controlling me psychologically that day.
From now on this predator will be referred to as a 'bad doctor.' He was evil, and lives in total darkness and pathetic ignorance. This is the antithesis of what we believe a health care provider should be, and it is unacceptable that America has become a nation of people who have been subjected to bad medicine in what somehow [politically] became 'mainstream.'
To add insult to literal injury, this bad doctor was so arrogant that he would not take phone calls from patients and his policy was clearly one of being in total control in order to keep you, the needy patient, a hostage.
The X Rays, Cat Scans, Mammogram, and other horribly toxic and physically dangerous tests he sent me on were like being on a never ending gravy train [at my expense] for his friends in the medical testing business.
I was never given any answers after the toxic trail that led to nowhere. I got sicker and sicker after these tests, and I was finally so exhausted and ill that I could not function for more than 2 hours a day.
Most days I was in emotional agony from the physical disability of not having a body that would maintain any energy at such a young age. I was in the prime of my life, and I could not understand what was happening to my body as my mind tried 'positive thinking' and other measures to help overcome the chronic fatigue, malaise, yeast and bladder infections, kidney infection, constantly run down, always catching bronchitis and other viruses that were more than happy to find a weakened host.
My Thyroid and my Adrenals were totally exhausted and hurting. My Liver and Kidneys were so toxic that I started to have additional physical symptoms like dark spots on my skin.
I was devastated by these symptoms that were downplayed and even totally ignored by most doctors I took the time to trust.
My new career was stalled because I had not an ounce of energy for auditions, call backs, even classes or meetings with Managers and Agents. I was probably the only young Actor in NYC who dreaded the phone calls for Auditions! I was at a total low point.
My sex drive had plummeted to almost nothing. This was a source of a joke to this bad, abusive, wretched doctor who thought it was funny! Wow. The ignorance that is stemmed from the arrogance in our current medical system is astounding.
Loved ones, friends, and my husband were concerned, but certainly had no knowledge of how to help me.
My sugar cravings were off the charts. It controlled my life in a very bad way. I was like a sugar addict. In fact, later I learned that refined and processed sugar IS A DRUG! I was in constant craving mode for processed foods that I KNOW NOW were feeding the bacteria and viruses that had taken over my body. It was a merry-go-round of cravings and then horrible side effects.
After interviewing knowledgeable people, researching this medical misconduct and the prevalence it has in BOTH human and veterinary medicine, I am convinced that this is one of the least talked about and misunderstood phenomenon's in America today.
For health and beauty: Stay away from refined sugar and processed/convenience blobs called 'food' but are, in reality, poison to your body.
Instead, use Stevia, Xylitol, and Agave Syrup for your sweeteners. They are delicious and healthy. Lucuma Fruit Powder and Mesquite Meal are also lesser known but totally nutritious, yummy sweeteners.
Today, I thank God every single day for my health, wellness and knowledge and for LITERALLY a new life.
I remember keenly the day I decided to reach deep within myself to fight back, reclaim my life, and find answers for myself.
I had no idea what holistic healing was. I did not know how to properly utilize food as medicine and to nourish my God-given body. I did not know what a Naturopathic Doctor was. I did not know what a genuine holistic practitioner was. I had no idea about the TOXIC cosmetics I was slathering all over my body, and putting on my face every day.
But as I started to take small steps every day in finding some answers, I found myself gravitating towards what I can only describe as light-filled people and organizations.
One day in New York City, I stumbled upon a Naturopathic Doctor in mid-town. His name was Dr. Stephen Felder. He saved my life.
Prior to finding Dr. Felder, I had seen a few natural-type doctors, but really got no answers from them. The meetings left me confused, and even frustrated that I had nothing after the exam and conversations with these practitioners. There was always 'next time' or an expensive, time consuming test, etc. No straight talk…. and this was very similar to what I had experienced in the Allopathic, mainstream system. There was never any time to give me the empowerment to make even small improvements that very day… it was about the money for some these practitioners, I am sorry to say.
I needed to be given the tools and the information to understand what was happening in my body and how to become 100% healthy WITHOUT spending a ton of money with agonizing tests, time, and spinning my wheels!
What Dr. Felder gave me was information. He gently guided me and told me WHY I was craving sugar: I had an overgrowth of Candida.
I remember asking, "What is Candida overgrowth? And what is Candida?" He was precise and informative in THE FIRST MEETING. He gave me the answers I needed and educated me about Leaky Gut Syndrome, which is what I had. He educated me about NUTRITION. He gave me a very easy, precise roadmap to health.
I was also given something called "Kinesiology" by Dr. Felder. I have had other practitioners perform this procedure on me many times since my initial meeting with Dr. Felder over a decade ago, and I must warn people that the accuracy of this simple test is highly dependent upon the honesty and integrity of the practitioner.
Dr. Felder got it right for me.
What was so beautiful about the beginning of my new journey into health and true wellness in both body, and in mind [and spirit, of course] was that I only had to see Dr. Felder a few times. That was it.
I was armed with the new information that had been missing in my life before the day I met Dr. Felder.
My wish for everyone who is chronically ill right now to have this incredible experience to health. It is such a gift to be given your life back!
I then found my way to so many amazing people, web sites, books, classes, nutrition schools, organizations, and whole food supplements and cleansing programs.
My life changed. An "About Face."
I started to find ancient healing modalities that worked for me, and the vast ocean of new information was totally exciting to learn about. Each month I got stronger, had more energy, and I experienced the wholesome healing that I realize is "God's Garden" so explicitly described in the Bible that was given to us to utilize for health and longevity, and not to abuse and synthesize into chemicals!
After this decade of self-empowerment and total lifestyle restoration, I am still on an enlightened journey of learning everyday.
I see everyday as a really cool opportunity to learn more. It's like a treasure hunt for information that has been tucked away from what we all know as 'mainstream' information.
The up side to getting healthy is that my memory skills, intelligence, inquisitiveness, brightness, clarity are dramatically and ASTRONOMICALLY fit and sharp.
All this is beautiful.
I am stronger in every way, and I choose natural beauty because it is glowing, honest, irresistible and empowering.
But when living in this chemically toxic world, and having been injured from past vaccines and other toxins, the pursuit of being healthy is a daily lifestyle regimen.
This journey has led me to become knowledgeable in Green Building practices and materials, environmental activism, wildlife protection, food as the most important daily choice for healing you can make, animal reverence, farming practices, vegan and vegetarian lifestyle choices for health, natural makeup and skin/hair care, organic living practices, non-toxic home cleaning and gardening, holistic human and animal care, holistic dentistry [and why MOST professed holistic dentists are clueless regarding the toxins they are still installing in people's mouths!] and other consumer advocacy issues….
When you create opportunities to help others, you are gorgeous. You FEEL gorgeous on the inside. This comes out on your face, and your energy is shifted to enlightenment.
It all starts with a clean body. L. Ron Hubbard wrote one of the most important books you could read entitled, "Clear Body, Clear Mind."
Clean out the toxins in your body, then clean out your makeup kit– wear a mask and gloves when you remove the junky makeup from its jars [and recycle the jars].
Replace your daily regimen with organic, hand made, honorably made cosmetics and you will feel and see the difference.

My show this week on Monday, November 22nd, with Rose Marie Swift, Organic Make Up Artist and the creator of RMS Beauty products was one that everyone– men, women, children, animals, the living environment– will benefit from.
What you put onto your face and body goes directly to your bloodstream and to every organ in your body. What you wash down the sink and put onto your garden, and in your home ends up in your drinking water, your air, and the entire environment….
It's time to know the truth about cosmetics, body care products, household products, baby and pet care products!
Rose Marie Swift and I talked about the dangers of highly advertised and promoted, yet very dangerous procedures, like the DNA damaging Mammography. This horrible X Ray causes Breast Cancer, yet is promoted as "lifesaving" by the cancer industry.
By the way, the cancer industry employs millions of people and rakes in Trillions of dollars for their closed-loop money train.
PREVENTION should be the key message and NOT 'early detection' as is overtly stated over and over and over again by this industry that has harassed and maligned every good, holistic Doctor who has actually FOUND the CURE to cancer!
The makeup you use has everything to do with whether or not you are setting your immune system up for an attack by the opportunistic and predatory cancer cells and other degenerative viruses that wait for your body's immunity to be weakened.
Your DNA is damaged by Mammography. Your immune system is damaged and your body then becomes a host for any and all viruses that will take advantage of this weakness.
THERMOGRAPHY should be at the top of everyone's list. But sadly, it is not simply because the money raked in from the conventional, toxic drug industry is too powerful. The healthy alternatives are totally ignored.
…. And what does my makeup and skin care have to do with my health and the environment? EVERYTHING.
Beware of the following products:
Talc [Talcum Powder]
Parfum/Fragrances [more than 10,000 toxic chemicals may be present in this seemingly innocent ingredient].
Methyl and Propyl Paraben [and ALL Parabens]
Propylene Glycol [extremely toxic]
Sodium Laurel Sulfate [Causes hair loss, and damages skin cells]
FD&C Dyes [linked to cancer]
All Hair Dyes [both PPD and Ammonia cause liver and kidney damage along with many degenerative diseases].
Petrochemical ingredients like petroleum jelly, etc.
Chlorine [Lung and organ damage].
Fluoride [causes tooth decay, immune and brain damage, nervous system damage, lowers intelligence, and can be fatal].
Based on organic and natural living principles, Rose Marie Swift created a gorgeous make up line that is highly sought after. Her thoughtful ingredients and commitment to natural beauty in all women [and men] is irresistible.
Check out her web site, and find out for yourself how you can arm yourself with knowledge and be more beautiful than ever!

My interview with Sally Leachko of Meadowlake Farm Honeybee Products on July 19th was my second with Sally this year on this most important topic.
We will face famine if we don't stop the assault on our most precious food producers….
Where are the Bees? Who is killing them?
All fruits and vegetable plants are dependent upon bees for pollination to produce the food that both animals and humans need to survive.
My conversation with Sally Leachko revealed that after World War II, Bayer Pharmaceutical, Monsanto, BASF and other chemical warfare companies began to introduce large numbers of Organophosphates ["OP's"], including "Parathion," into the marketplace for insect control.
These dangerous chemicals are, in fact, treacherous warfare chemicals designed to kill the nervous system of humans, too.
Bayer's Pesticide introduced within the last few years is one of the biggest culprits in the disappearance of our Bees. Watch out for anything labeled with "Clothianidin," made by Bayer.
Bayer, of course, denies any culpability, but the evidence continues to point to this particular pesticide with the colony collapse of millions of Bees in the USA and all over the world.
There is no excuse for killing our planet!
There are healthy, even more effective alternatives to toxic chemicals…. and here are a few web sites to find the information you need to be part of the movement to take back our world [and its future] from chemical warfare companies:
Also visit:
Bayer is not alone in their chemical warfare crimes. There are a handful of dirty players in this highly profitable and reckless industry.
Keep in mind, however, that during World War I, Bayer was involved in the development and manufacture of many poisonous gasses [in fact, the most lethal known to mankind] that were used in the trenches, including Chlorine gas and Mustard gas.
Bayer was and is a subsidiary of AG Farben [or aka, IG Farben]. AG Farben owned Auschwitz, and is the largest chemical warfare manufacturer in this world.
Do you think, for one minute, that they care about your health? Your family? Your well being? Your water supply? Your food supply? Your heartbeat? Your future?
The Nazi Regime from WW II never disappeared as the chemical warfare propaganda wants so desperately for the general population to be lulled into believing; instead, terrifyingly, they simply changed faces and morphed themselves into pharmaceutical [almost benevolent] organizations with Nazi killers at the helm… but invisible to the naked eye of the public.
AG Farben and Bayer Pharmaceuticals were also involved in the development of the next toxic generation of chemical warfare agents, known as "Lawn and Garden" pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers… the technical name for chemists is "Organophosphate Compounds." They are highly toxic, and are currently sprayed at an alarming rate onto commercially grown [large Agri-business] crops AND sold to the innocent consumer for home use.
Scared yet? You should be. The companies behind the mass murder during warfare are the very same Sociopaths behind the mass extinction of our precious pollinators and of our entire eco-system.
Do you think they give a damn?
"Neo-Nicotinoid" pesticide is also killing our beloved family pets. These terrible insecticides are put into the very lethal serums given to our animal companions for the 'control' of Fleas and Ticks.
DON'T BUY IT. There are natural, more healthy alternatives to toxic pesticides. Most good pet stores sell "DeFlea" and other non-toxic and HERBAL cleansers. Don't allow any misguided, ignorant commercial ad or Veterinarian to force toxic, chemical pesticides upon our pets. I have a cat who was seriously injured, and my neighbor had a dog who was killed by these very insecticides.
My Notable Quotable for this show:
"The future of our fragile, beautiful planet home is in our hands. As God's family, we are stewards of God's creation. We can be wantonly irresponsible, or we can be caring and compassionate. God says, 'I have set before you life and death…. choose life.' [Deuteronomy 30:19]
— Desmond Tutu, Foreward, "The Green Bible."
The time is now to DEMAND from our elected officials that Organic farming practices be supported by our tax dollars AND NOT LARGE CHEMICAL COMPANIES!
Can you believe that Organic is more expensive to buy only because the toxic, chemical laden "conventional" labeled fruits and veggies are subsidized generously by our hard earned tax dollars? This is totally horrifying.
Fruits and Veggies that you should ONLY buy Organic:
Green Beans
Sweet Bell Peppers
Bee Colony Collapse Disorder is manmade. Demand the immediate discontinuance of Neo-Nicotinoid pesticides.

Tags: beauty from the inside, celebrities are green, eco warriors, eco-lounge, elect politicians who care about the environment, Organic Lifestyles, take action for the environment, you are what you eat
If most Celebrities care about the environment, animals, holistic health, Organic food, being conscious consumers…. shouldn't everyone?
Aren't we all stewards of God's gift of this earth that sustains all life? Don't we all have a responsibility to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for our own actions and rally for ecologically responsible governance, companies, products, and services?
Nicole Sherwin, the eco-gorgeous, "Green Guru," is the founder of Nicole Sherwin Events, domiciled in LA, California.
Nicole does the job of sifting through all of the "green washing" that is out there and brings the many honorable, truthfully "Green" companies and products to her hip, Eco-Zen "Green Lounge" experiences that showcase valuable information and products, organic food and alcohol, along with eco-furniture, eco-travel…. everything.
Nicole's new site will be launching at the end of June to bring these products and fun facts to all consumers who want to "Go Green" but need a little help in deciphering what is real, and what is– well, totally fake information that is called 'green washing.' You can check out http://www.greenloungeexperience.com later this month…
"Some people shy away from responsibility because it brings with it accountability. So let me ask you this, is it more empowering to be accountable for your own actions and attitudes, or to make somebody else responsible?
You see, when we give away accountability we create a state of helplessness.
So I encourage you, liberate yourself—- accept responsibility."
— Jonathan Wells, Founder, "Advanced Life Skills."
Countless Celebrities have become Eco-Warriors! Now it's time for everyone to join this cause for life….
Nicole and I agree that beauty starts on the inside with your heart, soul, spirit, life, thoughts, actions, food choices, what you put into your body both mentally and physically, and with contributions to life.
Be amazed at how beautiful you are when you give back to society, take care of your body organically, holistically, and methodically. A clear mind and a clear body bring a beautiful, thoughtful, graceful, grateful, productive, and successful life.
"The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you are but aliens and my tenants. Throughout the country that you hold as possession, you must provide for the redemption of the land."
— Leviticus 25: 23-24

Peter Bedard of the online educational resource, "Create Your Health" has quite a story behind his vast array of knowledge when it comes to taking control of your health NATURALLY.
His own trials and tribulations with his health in the past [much like what like so many great holistic educators have experienced in their lives] has brought Peter to the forefront of being a voice of Alternative, Holistic, TRUTHFUL healthcare.
My show with Peter as my guest broadcast live on June 7th on "Conscious Lifestyles" Radio Show on WGCH. You can check it out on WGCH.com/Conscious Lifestyles Archives
Check out Peter Bedard at www.CreateYourHealth.com
Saving your life ALSO means making sustainable, eco-conscious choices for the environment, too. The air you breathe, the water you drink, the paints you choose for your home, the food you eat, the cosmetics you put onto your body, the vitamins and minerals you choose…. they ALL play an integral part in YOUR HEALTH.
* Prolo Therapy
* Somatic Therapy
* Ozone
* Household Cleaners… use Vinegar and Water or [cheap] Vodka and Water and Baking Soda for tough stains! There are also great Eco-Friendly companies like, "Seventh Generation" that make good-for-the-planet products…

– and these are just a few of the holistic healing modalities that Peter Bedard has brought to your fingertips when you visit his web site www.CreateYourHealth.com
"Buddhist philosophy and even some quantum theory tells us that our thoughts directly affect the world we live in. Life is too precious to wait for all the things we want…. So, my advice is to live life NOW, and to expect each and every moment to be the miracle it is."—- Peter Bedard
Thank you, Peter. May your mission to help others be a blessing to this world. God Bless.
P.S. Send an email, letter, or postcard to your elected representative demanding an END to large factory farming, pesticide use, and to request TAXPAYER SUPPORT for Organic, small, LOCAL farms! Let's stop supporting the large, Agri-businesses that are wrecking havoc on the environment and killing us with pesticides and animal cruelty…. believe it or not, our tax dollars, by the millions, are supporting this because of misguided local and national Politicians! TAKE ACTION. TOMORROW IS HERE.

Are You Ready for the Holidays?
David Spero
November 14, 2007
Well, here it comes: The hardest time of year for people with long-term health conditions like diabetes.
How bad can the holidays be? Well, when I worked in emergency rooms, we knew we'd see more strokes, more heart attacks, more accidents, and just about everything except sunburn during the holiday season. The patient list usually included a fair number of people with hyper- or hypoglycemia.
It's easy to see why. During the holidays, there's always lots of food, lots of alcohol, and lots of people. Sometimes you're traveling; sometimes you have guests coming to you. It's hard to keep on a self-management routine when your situation keeps changing, when it might be harder to find time to exercise and harder to stay on your meal plan.
There may also be emotional issues with family members that can stress you and throw you off. Even people you love can make you a little crazy if they're fighting with each other, bringing up old issues, or pushing your buttons. Some may not accept your diabetes and go out of their way to make it difficult for you, like when Aunt Helen says, "I made this chocolate cheesecake, just the kind you like," and implies that she'll be very hurt if you don't take a big piece.
It wouldn't be so bad if it was just one night. But it's more like six weeks from Thanksgiving to New Year's. (Nine weeks if you start with Halloween like my family does.) The cookies, candies, and cakes just keep coming. So do the visitors and special events.
For people who don't have family members nearby, or are not on good terms with them, loneliness can turn the holidays into a sad time. So can lack of sunlight—these are the shortest days of the year. Darkness is depressing, and depression interferes with self-management.
Not All Bad
Maybe we can help each other get through the holidays and get the most out of them. What have been your holiday self-management experiences? What has caused you the most problems? What have been the greatest benefits and joys? What solutions and strategies have you come up with? Share them with us here, and maybe we'll all have a great six weeks!
Ah the holidays, the times where smelling is a bit hazardous to my health. I actually haven't found a way to err, not smell those delicious pies, sweets, turkeys and other questionable yet delectable tid-bits.
Posted by: Zee | Nov 14, 2007 06:28 PM
The Holidays have not been a problem for me as a person with diabetes (PWD) since 1957.
Posted by: Lee | Nov 14, 2007 06:41 PM
I'm the cook for these events so I can at least control the content of food. For years I've been paring down the fat and carbs in each dish and have figured out the carbs for a serving of each ahead of time. But I have to make a conscious effort to stop and think when I sit down to eat. Sometimes I have to do that more than once during one meal. Gone are the days when I can just eat and enjoy. Now I have to be deliberate about it all. If I don't, I end up taking too much insulin or not enough. I get in a walk sometime after the main meal. That helps me keep my wits about me and gives me an emotional as well as physical break from all the excitement. I also check my blood glucose more often than usual and make adjustments if necessary.

This Thanksgiving will be exceptionally hard on my family. Last year we skipped Thanksgiving because my Dad was in Intensive Care and we were camped out at the hospital. We let him go the next day. This will be our first Thanksgiving without him, and the memories of last year will be extra fresh in our minds.
Posted by: Ephrenia | Nov 15, 2007 09:50 AM
Ephrenia, my heart goes out to you. In November of 2000, my mother died quite suddenly. The first Thanksgiving without her was hard. But it got easier each year after that. Although we still miss her, now the sadness is subdued, and the good memories are sweeter.

Thanks everyone for these great suggestions. Many of them I have never heard before, and I like them. Maybe someone can turn them into an article or a book!

Emily Brown Lambert ChrismonsEmily Lambert's Gift for Every Generation
Chrismons to adorn our Church's Christmas tree
by Reginald Carter, Church Historian
What are those beautiful, handmade ornaments that adorn our Church's Christmas tree at the beginning of Advent each year? They are called Chrismons, a term that comes from the Latin phrase "Christi Monogramma," meaning "monogram of Christ." A chrismon is one of a number of Christian symbols representing aspects of the ministry of Jesus Christ, his birth, life, death and resurrection, as well as, the life, ministry and history of the Church. What about the Chrismons on our tree? Where did they come from – who made them?
Most of the Chrismons hanging from the branches of our Christmas tree were created in the 1980s by members of our church family. They were organized, inspired and guided by Emily Lambert who believed that the chrismons would keep us focused on the true meaning of Christmas. Emily was very active in the Women's' Missionary Union, WMU, and shared her talents of quilting and other craft activities. Many assisted Emily in the creation of Chrismons, including adult church members as well as children through RA's, GA's, Sunday School and the Youth. When the Chrismons were completed, Emily would ask children of the congregation to assist her in hanging the ornaments and she would explain their meaning. In the years to follow Emily would be a part of a church ceremony, "The Hanging of the Greens" and at that time children again helped with the Chrismons and were reminded of the meaning of selected ornaments.
Emily Brown Lambert was born at Guildford College, NC on May 12, 1912, the daughter of James Edward Sr. and Nellie Wakefield Brown. She and her husband, Dewey Winfred Lambert, moved to the Orange High School community of Hillsborough in 1975 and became active members of First Baptist Church. Emily was a Life Member of garden clubs in Charlottesville, VA and Hillsborough, NC and enjoyed participating in church and community service projects. Emily and Dewey moved to Twin Lakes Retirement Community in Burlington, NC in 1994 and became active members of the First Baptist Church of Elon. Dewey and Emily had been married 62 years when he died at age 92 in 2001. When members of our church would visit Emily in Burlington, she would always ask if the church was still using the Chrismons that she and others had lovingly fashioned for the Christmas tree. A smile came to her face when reassured that the Chrismons were still being used and well cared for by the church.
Although most in our church family today do not remember Emily Lambert, her gift of a Chrismon adorned Christmas tree at First Baptist lives on to be enjoyed by this and hopefully many more generations to come. Emily passed away in 2010 at age 98.
Below are some examples of Chrismons that have been made by various members of our Church family. The heavy use of pearls represents the Bible as containing precious "pearls of wisdom". The colors of the Chrismons are gold and white to represent the purity and perfection of Jesus Christ and His majesty and glory. Early Christians used symbols to identify themselves to one another to designate meeting places of the early church and to declare their belief in Christ. These early symbols of the church helped to transmit the Christian faith for centuries.
White rose- representative of the Nativity and of Virgin Mary.
Butterfly - the immortality of the soul.
Cross- a generic Christian cross, a common symbol of Jesus' crucifixion and of salvation.
Other Chrismons and Their Meaning
Circle: symbolizes the world, God's wholeness, and eternal life.
Crown: Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Jerusalem Cross: (Large cross with four smaller crosses in each quad)
This cross was worn by the crusaders going to Jerusalem.
Fish: (ichthus in translation and IXOYC in Greek) a symbol used in early church times to secretly communicate a Christian, one to another
Dove: represents peace. Also scripture reference to God caring for the sparrows, Matthew 10: 29-31 and Luke 12:24
Cross above the world: God's care and love His creation and for us all
Butterfly: represents resurrection
Celtic Cross: a cross with "wide" arms to denote the crucifixion and resurrection
Greek Cross: arms are of equal length
Star of eight points: the "extra" 2 points symbolize regeneration and baptism
Triangle and Trinitarian: stand for the Trinity.
Alpha and Omega: the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet to symbolize the beginning and the end, as God is the beginning and the end of all (Omega is like an upside down "U" with handles.)
IHS or IHC: Iota, Eta, Sigma--The three Greek letters are the first three in the Greek word for Jesus.
Box: represents Christ as the cornerstone of the kingdom of God
Lamp and Candle: Jesus of the Light of the World
Chi Rho: the first 2 Greek letters for the word Christ (Looks like the letter "P" with an "X" superimposed.)
Shepard's Crook: Jesus is the Good Shepard
These listed Chrismon shapes are some of the many Chrismons. Further information may be found on the web.

*Ascension Lutheran Church, Danville, VA, holds the copyright on the word "Chrismons". It was given to them by Mrs. Frances Spencer, who originated the concept and brought it to fruition in that church in 1957.

text: THE STUFF It's capitalism, baby! This fall, New Line is releasing a clutch of Powers paraphernalia everything from talking dolls to greeting cards. Ironic, given that retailers initially said no when the studio pitched them Powers product in late 1996. Although the film's success raised some eyebrows, the bandwagon jumpers really changed their tune after the home video debuted in March to super-groovy sales (more than 2 million copies to date). Two years ago, says Imhoff, "their reaction was, 'Very funny script. But let's [wait and] see.' Now their reaction is 'We have to have this property.'" Which explains why a store near you will soon be carrying adult-size Halloween costumes (you too can be a Fembot!), Austin and Dr. Evil plush dolls, and, believe it or not, an official (though nominally neutered) Austin Powers Swedish Made Enlarger, modeled after the film's member-enhancing gizmo. There's even talk of a fast-food tie-in for the sequel. Still, Imhoff promises to avoid any Godzilla-size exploitation. "We are not going to allow people to get sick of Austin Powers," he says, adding that Myers has approval on every tchotchke produced. "He [even] signed off on the Swedish Enlarger." Maybe Austin's new catchphrase can be Do I make you money, baby?

Three years ago, TV Guide dared to compile a list of the Top 25 Cult Shows Ever, a veritable who's who of programs that got people talking — and in many cases still had them talking long after the final episode aired. The litmus tests were many. These are the types of shows that make normal folk Romulan-fluent, series that inspire what can only be called worship. The faithful collect everything from action figures (and perhaps way too many of them) to yellowing scripts obtained by any means necessary. They attend conventions in fangs or blue skin or with Hurley's numbers tattooed in disturbing places.
Spurred on by the successful campaign to get Jericho plucked from the postapocalyptic ashes and returned to CBS' 2007-08 slate, TV Guide revisited that years-old countdown, asking ourselves such tough questions as: Is Lost too

What's happened and is still happening in Japan is tragic. We're looking at perhaps 20,000 dead and missing from the Tsunami itself, and then the untold long term illnesses and deaths to be attributed to the radiation eminating from the destroyed nuclear reactors at Fukushima.
These two events have created for the people of Japan a "refugee shock". There are now millions of people who have to seriously consider moving away from their town and homes to avoid being in close proximity to the radioactive fallout. This radiation is of special concern to children and pregnant mothers becuae so many of their fast growing cells are especially vulnerable to the negative effects of radiation.
My hope is that I can find a computer developer who is fluent in both Japanese and English to take the code here from Amerisafe and adapt it to the Japanese language. If anyone reading this blog knows of a Japanese programmer who would be willing to volunteer his/her services please have him/her contact me. I am based in Chicago, USA, and preferably I would like to work with a developer in the city, or at least based in the United States.
Along these lines, I also contacted the Information Office at the Japanese Consulate/Embassy in Chicago. I was told that my introductory email was being distributed throughout the office. I hope they get back to me, but I can understand why they wouldn't because I'm sure they are very busy, and new ideas and tools often sidelined when an organization (or individual) is under stress. However, if anyone reading this has influence over the Japanese Consulate, please also feel free to have them contact me.
A final thought: Our civilization is like a finely designed Swiss wristwatch. Every little gear and cog fills an essential role to the proper functioning of the timepiece, and if one little part is broken or out of alignment, the entire watch stops. Society is fragile. Human beings are fragile. But if we all can come together and make emergency plans, then we're designing safety and elasticity into the system. It will keep us from shattering.
Thank You,

Very Interesting article
Greetings Matthew & Friends,
Earlier today I saw Matthew's interview with Project Camelot about making plans in the event of a social collapse. I recently launched a social-networking website for "Preppers" that connects people in the countryside with people living in the cities so that in the event of a disaster the people in the densely-populated areas may have a pre-arranged and welcome place to go.
The site is called Amerisafe.org. It is free to join and so far we have about 50 members. When people sign-up the give their approximate location, and then they fill out a questionnaire much like on a dating website so that people can find like-minded partners with which to buddy-up.
The site also allows users to blog, embed videos, create events and groups, and make friends with other preppers around the country.
Our mission is to create a buffer to any social shock that may come in the future. The more that people can safely move to the countryside in the event of social stress, the more likely we will hold onto our freedoms, and civilization.
Thanks you for your time, and let me know if you have any thoughts or questions.
Chicago, IL
Greetings Friends of Amerisafe,
I don't know the extent to which a network like this may already exist, but I think alongside the idea of city-folk and country-folk networking for the sake of disaster preparation, I think it would be a good endevour to try and network organic and pesticide-free food distribution. Certainly science is a good thing in helping raise yields, but the human body is so sensitive to foreign chemicals. We can't go on forever thinking that these chemicals and the manipulated genes in food will not have some effect on the population. But aside from that, again, we need to build out alternative food distribution networks, and this, I believe, would help create those pathways of familiarity and friendship that would be key to creating a robust Amerisafe network. Thoughts? ... and Thanks, Rich
Below is an email exchange I had with a well-known blogger in the prepper community. She is concerned that many country-folk are not inclined to show hospitality to city folk in the event of a SHTF scenario....
[Friday, Aug 20, 2010]
Hello XXX, I am contacting you because recently I launched a social networking website called Amerisafe.org that networks people living in the cities with people in the countryside so that if ever there is a social collapse (whether from man-made or natural causes) the people in the cities will have a safe and welcome place to go.When users sign-up they fill out a profile which then helps them find like-minded individuals. The site also uses filters and geo-mapping to help people find partnering households at adequate "safety distances" from their homes. The site is free and entirely volunteer-based, but the main goal is to help preserve lives and our freedoms in the face of any trials that may come.The website still needs a population of users for its features to work. This will still take a little time, but if you could, please take a minute to review the site and if you like it please review it in your blog... and let me know if you have any questions.Thanks, & Best,Rich Sengwww.Amerisafe.org
[Her Reply]Rich, I'm interested in how you visualize this working out in reality. I've read too many comments on blogs and forums that indicate people in the country see city people as a horde to mow down with their rifles. If a family shows up at a homesteaders door without food, clothing, or any resources, other than Christian charity, what's in it for the homesteader? Your site is taking a long time to load on my computer. Maybe you've already answered these questions there. XXX [My Reply]
Hi XXXX,Thanks for writing back.... and sorry about the site taking too long to load... I just spoke with my developer and he said it could be caused by a few things...for instance, because the site is using Google's free mapping API we are not a high-priority, or, Google could just be having a slowdown, or, so could my server of my host. Also, there is the chance that you haven't installed yet the highest version of Flash, which can also sometimes be a source of slow-downs. I hope though that this slow-down is just a one-off and won't be present in your future visits.In answer to your question though about the hostilities people in the country might have for people flooding-in from the cities, well, this is EXACTLY why I made this site. It was in my prayers and flowing imagination that I thought this sort of network would help avert mistrust and conflict between city-folk and country-folk.I mean, if we ever start turning our guns on each other we are really going to be miserable... and it would be so unnecessary too. The mission of Amerisafe is to build this network of hospitality and planning NOW so that if the you-know-what ever does hit the fan people will not panic and hence become desperate.Another thing too... and I say this as a person living in the middle of Chicago... most of the people here are disconnected from the soil... from the land. We are here doing are own thing, and to our credit, we are contributing our part to what helps make America such a great nation. But people in the country... they are more rooted in the land... and this gives them a more natural spirituality... and more importantly... the "eyes to see." So, I guess what I'm saying is that people in the country who are making preparations have a noble calling to be sensitive to our blindness... and to extend hospitality and love...even when by most secular measures we don't deserve it. But if we can build that bridge now, while we still have time, all of us will be better off in the long run.I hope this makes sense. And, I hope you find amerisafe newsworthy for your blog. It is pretty well-known (with a very cute illustration, btw). If you have any more thoughts or questions please let me know.Best, & Thanks, Rich

[My Response]
Hello XXXXX,Thank you for taking the time to check out Amerisafe. I agree with many of your concerns, on both the levels of human-nature and logistics. Allow me though to try and field some of our concerns.#1. When people sign up they indicate how much money they would be willing to contribute to supplies. So no, the burned of paying for everything is not supposed to land solely on the country-folk. Also, the amount a city-person is willing to contribute can be a factor a rural homestead considers in deciding with whom to buddy-up.#2. I believe that as people sign-up it will catch-on and spread via word-of-mouth. You are right in that you can't have hoards of people heading to the same homestead. Instead, the people in the cities who do make plans need to spread the word to their urban neighbors to create their own Amerisafe partnerships. Everyone needs to know (and this is pretty obvious) that people need to take responsibility for their own contingency plans.#3. Not all disasters will be instantaneous, and the ensuing social collapse could take several days, weeks, or months. We never will know until (or if) something happens. As for Hurricane Katrina, the weathermen was forecasting its hitting New Orleans 5 days in advance. That's plenty of time for the prepared to head to their partnering homesteads.#4. Again, you have a good point about people bringing their entire clan to a homestead. But that is the whole point of making arrangements now... and making sure everyone is accounted for. If everyone in the city had a back-up plan think of how powerful that would be. Think of how that would bring us all together in cooperation, instead of under a spirit of panic and fear, where surely then the guns would come out. We can avoid American fighting Americans if we plan smartly now. And yes, this requires an extra effort on the part of the country folk... a heroic spirit of hospitality... but let that be your opportunity to most closely pattern your life after Jesus' commandments of feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and taking in the homeless. I mean, these trials that seem to be building on the horizon will be first and foremost tests of our fidelity.I am glad you have the eyes to see. People in the city are wising up too, but many of them are disconnected from the soil and the countryside, which is your particular strength.... which is why we need you, but America is made of all of us, and we are a great nation because we have both cities and countryside. We work together now, so, let's just start building in-roads into area of disaster prep.Thanks again for your thoughts, and please feel welcome to send me comments or ask me more questions. Please also feel welcome to voice your opinions and concerns over your blog. At the very least our discussion here may help some people connect.Best, Rich Seng
I just heard of this startling article on Alex Jones' infowars.com
It's speculative, but it speaks of worst case scenarios of mass evacuation in the gulf states in the event of a hurricane blowing inland the toxic fumes offgassing off of the oilspill...
I just read this interesting article about how people on the west coast are spending tens of thousands of dolllars making plans for themselves and their families in case of a major disaster... interesting too how one of the persons intrviewed stresses that he doesn't want his prepping to become a self-fulfilling prophecy...

That was very interesting story. Yes I pictured everything in my mind as I was there taping the whole thing. It's good to see you give yourself to him completely and trust him in knowing that he is teaching you how everything needs to be done and you also accepting your punishment for not doing it right. I just wonder how you would react in a situation when you master orders you to pleasure more than him and have his friends over to also take care of them as well! Just a thought.ReplyDelete

*** Media Advisory *** Leading Conservatives to Hold Press Conference on the Nomination of John Bryson to be Secretary of Commerce
July 11, 2011
Posted by Katie Brown firstname.lastname@example.com
Leading Conservatives to Hold Press Conference on the Nomination of John Bryson to be Secretary of Commerce
WASHINGTON, D.C. -Tuesday, July 12 at 12:30 PM, Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, will join leading conservative groups, Freedom Action and the American Conservative Union, to hold a media availability for credentialed press to discuss their opposition to the nomination of John Bryson to be the Secretary of Commerce.
Senator Inhofe: "The Secretary of Commerce should have a record of promoting not stifling economic growth and Bryson's career is a clear demonstration of the latter. Not only is he the founder of a radical environmental organization and a member of a United Nations' advisory group on climate change, he was also a strong advocate of the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill. Even though this legislation would have been the largest tax increase in American history, would have destroyed hundreds of thousands of jobs and made gas and electricity bills skyrocket for every American, Bryson said the bill was 'moderate.' I am pleased to join the American Conservative Union and Freedom Action in opposition to John Bryson's nomination."
WHO: Senator James Inhofe; Al Cardenas, American Conservative Union; Myron Ebell, Freedom Action
WHAT: Press Conference on the nomination of John Bryson
WHEN: TOMORROW, Tuesday, July 12 at 12:30 PM
WHERE: 406 Dirksen, EPW Hearing Room
NOTE: Media Availability for credentialed members of the press only
