Source Article from Hits: 22 Can The World Unite For The Climate Crisis March 25th 2019 Jesus Christ exposed the Jews Can The World Unite For The Climate Crisis Above: Extinction Rebellion organized Rebellion Day on Saturday November 17 2018 By Kevin J Frost – ShutterStock A team of researchers at Tufts University recently analyzed over five million scenarios predicting the future of the climate to answer the question of whether or not we can stay within the 2° C increase in temperature that is considered to be tolerable The answer is uncertain as most of the scenarios were pessimistic They report: “The massive analysis shows that meeting that target is exceptionally difficult in all but the most optimistic climate scenarios” They conclude that what is certain is the only hope for a livable future is to take swift action now to achieve “carbon-neutral energy production by 2030” Tim Radford of Climate News Network writes “Unless the world collectively and in concert takes drastic steps to slow or halt global warming generations to come face an intolerable prospect” Can the world unite to address the climate crisis While millions of people are taking action toward that end the US government Wall Street and fossil fuel profiteers continue to put profit before the good of people and the planet Local climate activists participated in the global launch of the Fossil Fuel Finance On the eve of the report release Chase Bank branches were illuminated by light projections related to the report finds Photo by Erik McGregor Progress on Reducing Carbon Emissions A new report published by Rainforest Action Network this week the Fossil Fuel Finance Report Card finds that 33 banks have invested 19 trillion in fossil fuel companies since the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at the end of 2015 The four top investors are US banks: JP Morgan Chase Wells Fargo CitiBank and Bank of America accounting for 57844 billion Activists in New York City raised awareness of the report using light projections and holding an action at a Chase Bank branch on Wall Street All of this investment is leading to increasing greenhouse gas emissions After flattening out a bit from 2014 to 2016 CO2 emissions are on the rise again and are expected to increase more this year The rise is primarily due to energy use The United States is currently the largest crude oil producer in the world This week Mike Pompeo met with oil and gas industry executives in Houston to remind them of their vital role in fueling the wars to control the world’s oil Bill Van Auken reports “Pompeo’s speech provided a blunt description of US predatory aims across the planet that involve the interests of the American-based energy conglomerates” He was open about US imperialist aims regarding oil in Iran and Venezuela According to the University of Michigan in 2018 80 of the energy used in the US came from oil gas and coal Only 11 came from “renewable sources” and over 40 of that was biomass which includes burning wood products or trash ethanol and biodiesel Biofuelwatch opposes biomass because of the large amount of land required for it the large amount of energy used to produce it and the carbon emissions Burning waste also poisons the air We have a long way to go in the United States to achieve 100 clean renewable sources of energy The largest source of new energy in the US last year was gas In 2018 there was a slight reduction in the installation of solar energy with 106 GW of new capacity New wind energy increased by 8 with the addition of almost eight megawatts a megawatt is one-thousandth of a gigawatt Wave and tidal energy production are just emerging in the US So far new renewable sources of energy are not displacing the use of fossil fuels they are simply adding to the energy we already use In addition to reducing carbon emissions carbon sequestration is also necessary to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere which is now well past the goal of 350 parts per million New farming techniques called regenerative agriculture and restoration of wetlands can store large amounts of carbon These are receiving more attention in the US SAEED KHAN / AFP / Getty Images Growing Climate Justice Movement As we have reported there are efforts across the US to stop new fossil fuel infrastructure They are definitely slowing projects down and are succeeding in some places Resistance comes in the form of pressure on agencies and lawmakers to stop permits from being given physical blockades and lawsuits This week a federal judge ruled in a case brought by a coalition of environmental groups to stop drilling for oil and gas on public lands The ruling means public land in Wyoming can’t be sold for fracking and that drilling has to stop on more than 300000 acres Another court decision this week by the United States Court of Appeals prevents TransCanada from starting construction on the Keystone XL pipeline The case is ongoing but this means construction will not be done this year Some of the most amazing climate justice activity is originating outside the US Last August then 15-year-old Greta Thunberg of Sweden started a “school strike for climate” outside the parliament building The strike became a weekly action that has now inspired students across the globe On Friday March 15 14 million youth protested in a climate strike in 2000 cities around the world in 120 countries In Milan Italy the largest gathering there was an estimated 100000 people in the streets Here are photos of those marches In the US YES Magazine reports half of the student leaders behind the climate strike are black and brown They use horizontal organizing with an intersectional lens They also use social media to communicate with each other Another global effort the Extinction Rebellion arose in the United Kingdom last fall The Extinction Rebellion is a nonviolent movement targeting governments for their failure to act on climate Participants hold creative actions like this one in Scotland where they used blue paint to create footprints that symbolize the need to take action in the streets Extinction Rebellion organizers in the US have issued a call to action for protests during the week leading up to Earth Day April 15 to 22 Both of these growing efforts require self-initiative Anyone can join them by organizing activities in their community So the good news is there is a growing climate justice movement in the US and around the world The critical questions are whether it will have enough of an impact and in time to potentially make a difference That is up to us We can no longer sit this one out If you need some inspiration listen to the words of Greta Thunberg about our dire situation: “We do need hope Of course we do But the one thing we need more than hope is action Once we start to act hope is everywhere So instead of looking for hope look for action Then and only then hope will come” And listen to our interviews with Marijn Van de Geer New Movement Arises to Force Action on Climate Change and with Dahr Jamail Finding Hope in the Midst of Climate Destruction on Clearing the FOG Upcoming events: March 28 – National Webinar on

Against Medicare For All Above photo: National Nurses United supporting Medicare for All A Washington Post news piece 3/11/19 claims Rep Pramila Jayapal’s Medicare for All bill “reflects the influence of hard-line liberal groups and unions” as well as “advocates on the far left” who would “upend health coverage for tens of millions of Americans” The phrase “hard-line” as commonly used in the Washington Post is almost always a pejorative Often it references official enemy states like Iran 5/4/18 5/9/18 or North Korea 1/18/19 In a recent Post 3/11/19 article however reporter Paige W Cunningham used the term to refer to a different kind of enemy: proponents of Medicare for All Among the “hard-line liberal groups and unions” the article refers to in its headline and lead is the Consortium of Citizens with Disabilities a coalition of approximately 100 national disability organizations The “hard-line” groups include much of the grassroots movements for healthcare justice in the country: National Nurses United Social Security Works and the Center for Popular Democracy These orgs—described elsewhere in the piece as “advocates on the far left”—are devoted to such “hard-line” positions as universal healthcare protecting senior citizens and empowering voters and activists The Post is concerned that these groups provided input to Rep Pramila Jayapal as she wrote the Medicare for All legislation HR 1384 she introduced in February In fact what the Post describes as “hard-line” and “far left” is actually a very popular position Medicare for All has long polled well among the public at large especially Democratic voters A Reuters poll from 2018 The Hill 8/23/18 showed 70 percent of the public 85 percent of Democrats and 52 percent of Republicans support Medicare for All That poll is the high water mark but the policy polls well in most other polls as well Politico/Harvard 1/7/19 This popular support was not mentioned by the Post In fact the article asserted that the “bill would overhaul the US healthcare system so dramatically that summoning broad public support for it seems like a tall order” Yet Medicare for All already has broad public support despite its reputation on K Street and Capitol Hill—and evidently in the Washington Post’s newsroom Acceptably mainstream groups Neera Tanden an opponent of Medicare for All that the Washington Post thinks should have been consulted on a Medicare for All bill Washington Post photo by Larry French/Getty Images The Post article tried to marginalize Medicare for All advocates by contrasting them with more establishment think tanks who helped design Obamacare: Instead of consulting with influential organizations such as the Center for American Progress or Families USA—two groups deeply involved in the crafting of the 2010 Affordable Care Act—staff for the Washington Democrat invited feedback over the past few months from a slew of groups further to the left Both these groups would be odd choices to get input from on a Medicare for All bill given that neither organization advocates for the policy Families USA is an especially aggressive advocate for preserving the Affordable Care Act Families USA founder Ron Pollack was quoted by Third Way 5/4/18—a corporate-funded group devoted to pushing Democrats to the right—in an essay about why Democrats should avoid the single-payer issue Cunningham failed to observe that the Center for American Progress has received donations from the likes of Blue Cross Blue Shield CVS Caremark and Americans Health Insurance Plans AHIP the largest insurance lobby in the country Politico 12/13/13 The implication from Cunningham—who has been critiqued for parroting right-wing talking points by the liberal watchdog group Media Matters 2/15/18—is that there are acceptably mainstream policies like the ACA backed by acceptably mainstream groups like CAP Jayapal and others on the other hand are going “a step or steps too far” with Medicare for All “as it would upend health coverage for tens of millions of Americans”—according “to some progressives” Assuredly “some progressives” disagree with the Medicare for All policy It is also true that “some conservatives” agree with the policy In fact you can put the word “some” before virtually any demographic group and be correct Given the volume of information about this issue available it is hard to believe the Post could not be bothered to put these vague terms in context Who are these progressives Voters or politicians Do they get money from the industry There was no information about any of that Blatant Falsehoods A since-deleted tweet from Washington Post reporter Paige Cunningham 2/14/18 said it was “super weird” that people felt the Trump administration affected their “quality of life” The Post article has several factual inaccuracies including the kicker to the “some progressives” passage which claimed Medicare for All “could cost many times more than the ACA” Almost anything could happen theoretically but this is a misleading statement at best If by “cost” Cunningham means only government expenditures then it’s almost tautological since the point of single-payer is to shift healthcare funding from private to public insurance If she’s using “cost” in a more meaningful sense—as in how much do we as a society spend on healthcare—there is really no evidence to support the idea that single-payer would cost more than the ACA The ACA had very little cost containment at all The US currently spends 18 percent of GDP and rising—the most in the world by far—on healthcare Under the most optimistic CBO projections 3/20/10 for Obamacare at its best it would leave 22 million uncovered and costs would continue to rise if at a lower rate A more recent analysis from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 2/15/17 “projects the health share of GDP to rise from 178 percent in 2015 to 199 percent by 2025” Contrarily single-payer systems—as seen around the world—are far less expensive due to savings on administrative waste and better bargaining power for drug prices In fact these savings are what make universal comprehensive care possible The cost effectiveness of Medicare for All is its main attraction Even the the Mercatus study with its ties to the Koch brothers said Medicare for All would cost 2 trillion less over 10 years than what we are projected to pay now The Nation 7/31/18 The Post mentions the new bill would use “global budgets” and claims this would “open…the door for hospitals in different parts of the country to receive different payments for the same service” The problem as the national advocacy group Healthcare-Now! explains in a tweet is that the global budgets by design don’t use a pay-for-service model with hospitals “The whole point of moving to global budgets is that you’re no longer paying hospitals per service which she herself notes earlier in the paragraph” Ben Day the executive director of HealthCare Now! explained to FAIR Critics of single-payer often claim the polls are misleading because “voters don’t understand how such a system would work” Forbes 3/19/18 Their understanding of the issue is not likely to improve after reading the Post’s coverage Messages can be sent to the Washington Post at letterswashpostcom or via Twitter washingtonpost Please remember that respectful communication is the most effective Source Article from Hits: 19 South Dakota Rushes To Outlaw Protests Against Oil Pipeline March 25th 2019 Jesus Christ exposed the Jews South Dakota Rushes To Outlaw Protests Against Oil Pipeline Above: As protests against oil pipelines persist so does the crackdown on First Amendment rights often in the guise of protecting infrastructure or public safety By Rpbyn Beck/AFP/Getty Images South Dakota Gov Kristi Noem R plans to thwart demonstrations reminiscent of the Standing Rock protests in her home state by criminalizing protesters of the multibillion-dollar TransCanada’s XL Keystone oil pipeline The Republican-dominated South Dakota legislature rushed through two bills that would chill protest and protect the pipeline business amid intense opposition Native activists and legal experts say the legislation violates the First Amendment and would not hold up in court SB 189 aims to formalize merging the identity of the state and corporations by creating a fund “to offset costs incurred by riot boosting” and SB 190 would create a fund to pay the costs incurred by the state or local governments responding to protests “They will certainly be challenged” said Mara Verheyden-Hilliard executive director of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund a legal nonprofit in Washington DC who called the two GOP-backed bills “dangerous” “What the state is doing is creating broad discretion to suppress demonstrations They are creating penalties that will threaten to bankrupt demonstrators through this riot-booting law What we are really seeing is the public officials codifying the use of public police as private security for corporate interests” she said That happened during the Dakota Access Pipeline protests where 761 people were arrested in North Dakota in 2016 and 2017 and the state spent 38 million policing the protests Most of the cases were dropped but some protesters have served jail time As protests against oil pipelines persist so does the crackdown on First Amendment rights often in the guise of protecting infrastructure or public safety Introduced by Noem on March 4 both bills passed the house and state senate on March 7 and include emergency provisions to allow them to take effect immediately and prevent a public vote Before jamming the anti-protest bills through toward the end of the legislative session Noem reportedly consulted TransCanada in February but not any of the seven tribal nations in South Dakota The bills are now heading to her desk to be signed Harold Frazier chairman of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribes said in a statement that he was disappointed with the governor for “shoving these pipelines down our throats This legislation only shows they are more concerned with saving money while suppressing South Dakotans’ rights of assembly and intimidating anyone who is considering options to stand up for what they believe is right” This is not the first time Republican legislators have tried to curb free speech with anti-protest measures In 2017 South Dakota limited the number of protesters in established “public safety zones” on highways with violators to face jail time Oregon tried to expel public college students convicted of rioting and legislators in Oklahoma specified penalties of up to 100000 in fines and ten years in prison for people harming “critical infrastructure” “These two bills seem really out of touch” said Frank James staff director of Dakota Rural Action who took issue with a “bad process” that rushed the bills through at the end of the 40-day session limiting opportunities for opponents to organize against them “Usually the governor will introduce bills by the deadline to introduce bills which is in January They hadn’t come in the last full week of the session when they had to suspend the rules to introduce the bills and had them pushed through the committee and floor votes in 72 hours” Rosebud Sioux Tribe President Rodney M Bordeaux said in a statement that Noem the recipient of significant campaign contributions from the oil and energy industries did not notify Native groups of these bills “The timing is dubious and seems to be an underhanded tactic this late in the session” he said “The bill creates a new theory of civil recovery and invents a new term: ‘riot boosting’ The bills purport to allow the recovery of triple damages against anyone who participates directly or indirectly in a protest where violence or the threat of violence allegedly occurs whether or not that person engaged in the violent activity and even if that person is not physically present when the alleged violence occurs” Tribal and environmental groups have protested the 1184-mile oil pipeline—located mostly in the United States—that would carry more than 800000 barrels of crude oil from Canada to Nebraska since it was proposed over a decade ago to carry oil to Gulf Coast refineries TransCanada markets the project as “the safest pipeline ever built” It has already faced regulatory and corrosion issues and leaked several times most recently in Missouri and in November in South Dakota A Reuters report in November found it has leaked nearly 243000 gallons of crude oil since it started operating in 2010 The 38 billion Dakota Access oil pipeline also labeled safe by Energy Transfer Partners was pushed through despite inspiring the largest Native American resistance worldwide and despite lawsuits citing Native environmental and treaty rights The pipeline—moving North Dakota oil to Illinois—opened in June 2017 and has leaked at least five times in the first six months of its operation the Intercept reported The biggest was a 168-gallon leak near the endpoint in Illinois in April 2017 Environmental groups like Greenpeace the Sierra Club and the Natural Resources Defense Council that oppose these oil pipeline projects have long been concerned about the pipeline’s potential to increase carbon emissions spill dirty oil affect climate change and the country’s clean energy future President Trump in 2017 approved the federal permit for the oil pipeline that President Obama had rejected over concerns of greenhouse gas emissions In February a federal judge in Montana kept in place an injunction that blocks TransCanada from conducting preliminary work Construction on the oil pipeline remains blocked after a federal appeals court last week upheld that decision the Associated Press reported Meanwhile the existing Keystone pipeline has leaked “substantially more oil and more often in the United States” than ever

exposed the Jews Funding The Green New Deal Without Raising Taxes And Creating Massive Debt As alarm bells sound over the advancing destruction of the environment a variety of Green New Deal proposals have appeared in the US and Europe along with some interesting academic debates about how to fund them Monetary policy normally relegated to obscure academic tomes and bureaucratic meetings behind closed doors has suddenly taken center stage The 14 page proposal for a Green New Deal submitted to the US House of Representatives by Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez does not actually mention Modern Monetary Theory but that is th it’s e approach currently capturing the attention of the media – and taking most of the heat The concept is good: abundance can be ours without worrying about taxes or debt at least until we hit full productive capacity But the devil is in the details… MMT advocates say the government does not need to collect taxes before it spends It actually creates new money in the process of spending it and there is plenty of room in the economy for public spending before demand outstrips supply driving up prices Critics however say this is not true The government is not allowed to spend before it has the money in its account and the money must come from tax revenues or bond sales In a 2013 treatise called “Modern Monetary Theory 101: A Reply to Critics” MMT academics actually concede this point But they write that “these constraints do not change the end result” and here the argument gets a bit technical Their reasoning is that “The Fed is the monopoly supplier of CB currency central bank reserves Treasury spends by using CB currency and since the Treasury obtained CB currency by taxing and issuing treasuries CB currency must be injected before taxes and bond offerings can occur” The counterargument made by American Monetary Institute researchers among others is that the central bank is not the monopoly supplier of dollars The vast majority of the dollars circulating in the United States are created not by the government but by private banks when they make loans The Fed accommodates this process by supplying central bank currency bank reserves as needed and this bank-created money can be taxed or borrowed by the Treasury before a single dollar is spent by Congress The AMI researchers contend “All bank reserves are originally created by the Fed for banks Government expenditure merely transfers previous bank reserves back to banks” As the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis puts it “federal deficits do not require that the Federal Reserve purchase more government securities therefore federal deficits per se need not lead to increases in bank reserves or the money supply” What federal deficits do increase is the federal debt and while the debt itself can be rolled over from year to year as it virtually always is the exponentially growing interest tab is one of those mandatory budget items that taxpayers must pay Predictions are that in the next decade interest alone could add 1 trillion to the annual bill an unsustainable tax burden To fund a project as massive as the Green New Deal we need a mechanism that involves neither raising taxes nor adding to the federal debt and such a mechanism is actually proposed in the US Green New Deal – a network of public banks While little discussed in the US media that alternative is being debated in Europe where Green New Deal proposals have been on the table since 2008 European economists have had more time to think these initiatives through and they are less hampered by labels like “socialist” and “capitalist” which have long been integrated into their multiparty systems A Decade of Gestation in Europe The first Green New Deal proposal was published in 2008 by the New Economics Foundation on behalf of the Green New Deal Group in the UK The latest debate is between proponents of the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 DiEM25 led by former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis and French economist Thomas Piketty author of the best-selling Capital in the 21st Century Piketty recommends funding a European Green New Deal by raising taxes while Varoufakis favors a system of public green banks Varoufakis explains that Europe needs a new source of investment money that does not involve higher taxes or government deficits DiEM25 proposes for this purpose “an investment-led recovery or New Deal program … to be financed via public bonds issued by Europe’s public investment banks eg the new investment vehicle foreshadowed in countries like Britain the European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund in the European Union etc” To ensure that these bonds do not lose their value the central banks would stand ready to buy them above a certain yield “In summary DiEM25 is proposing a re-calibrated real-green investment version of Quantitative Easing that utilizes the central bank Public development banks already have a successful track record in Europe and their debts are not considered debts of the government They are financed not through taxes but by the borrowers when they repay the loans Like other banks development banks are moneymaking institutions that not only don’t cost the government money but actually generate a profit for it DiEM25 collaborator Stuart Holland observes: While Piketty is concerned to highlight differences between his proposals and those for a Green New Deal the real difference between them is that his—however well-intentioned—are a wish list for a new treaty a new institution and taxation of wealth and income A Green New Deal needs neither treaty revisions nor new institutions and would generate both income and direct and indirect taxation from a recovery of employment It is grounded in the precedent of the success of the bond-funded Roosevelt New Deal which from 1933 to 1941 reduced unemployment from over a fifth to less than a tenth with an average annual fiscal deficit of only 3 per cent Roosevelt’s New Deal was largely funded through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation RFC a public financial institution set up earlier by President Hoover Its funding source was the sale of bonds but proceeds from the loans repaid the bonds leaving the RFC with a net profit The RFC financed roads bridges dams post offices universities electrical power mortgages farms and much more and it funded all this while generating income for the government A System of Public Banks and “Green QE” The US Green New Deal envisions funding with “a combination of the Federal Reserve and a new public bank or system of regional and specialized public banks” which could include banks owned locally by cities and states As Sylvia Chi chair of the legislative committee of the California Public Banking Alliance explains on Mediumcom: The Green New Deal relies on a network of public banks — like a decentralized version of the RFC — as part of the plan to help finance the contemplated public investments This approach has worked in Germany where public banks have been integral in financing renewable energy installations and energy efficiency retrofits Local or regional public banks says Chi could help pay for the Green New Deal by making “low-interest loans for building and upgrading infrastructure deploying clean energy resources transforming our food and transportation systems to be more sustainable and accessible and other projects The federal government can help by for example capitalizing public banks setting environmental or social responsibility standards for loan programs or tying tax incentives to participating in public bank loans” UK professor Richard Murphy adds another role for the central bank – as the issuer of new money in the form of “Green Infrastructure Quantitative Easing” Murphy who was a member of the original 2008 UK Green New Deal Group explains: All QE works by the central bank buying debt issued by the government or other bodies using money that it quite literally creates out of thin air … This money creation process is … what happens every time a bank makes a loan All that is unusual is that we are suggesting that the funds created by the central bank using this process be used to buy back debt that is due by the government in one of its many forms meaning that it is effectively canceled The invariable objection to that solution is that it would act as an inflationary force driving up prices but as argued in my earlier article here this need not be the case There is a chronic gap between debt and the money available to repay it that actually needs to be filled with new money every year to avoid a “balance sheet recession” As UK Prof Mary Mellor formulates the problem in Debt or Democracy 2016 page 42: A major contradiction of tying money supply to debt is that the creators of the money always want more money back than they have issued Debt-based money must be continually repaid with interest As money is continually being repaid new debt must be being generated if the money supply is to be maintained… This builds a growth dynamic into the money supply that would frustrate the aims of those who seek to achieve a more socially and ecologically sustainable economy In addition to interest says Mellor there is the problem that bankers and other rich people generally do not return their profits to local economies Unlike public banks which must use their profits for local needs the wealthy hoard their money invest it in the speculative markets hide it in offshore tax havens or send it abroad To avoid the cyclical booms and busts that have routinely devastated the US economy this missing money needs to be replaced and if the new money is used to pay down debt it will be extinguished along with the debt leaving the overall money supply and the inflation rate unchanged If too much money is added to the economy it can always be taxed back but as MMTers note we are a long way from the full productive capacity that would “overheat” the economy today Murphy writes of his Green QE proposal: The QE program that was put in place between 2009 and 2012 had just one central purpose which was to refinance the City of London and its banks… What we are suggesting is a smaller programme … to kickstart the UK economy by investing in all those things that we would wish our children to inherit whilst creating the opportunities for everyone in every city town village and hamlet in the UK to undertake meaningful and appropriately paid work A network of public banks including a central bank operated as a public utility could similarly fund a US Green New Deal – without raising taxes driving up the federal debt or inflating prices This article was

Source Article from Hits: 39 To protect speech and democracy President Trump must now seize the domain names of Google Facebook Twitter and other tech giants that abuse their power to silence human beings March 24th 2019 Jesus Christ exposed the Jews Natural News If you told me five years ago that I would wake up one day in America and have Facebook YouTube Twitter and Google all banning natural health news and that the entire US Congress and President of the United States would do absolutely nothing about it and that there wouldn’t be a single prominent voice on the political Left who would speak out against the scourge of censorship I wouldn’t have believed you Yet that’s where we are right now in America Actually it’s even worse Our Brighteoncom free speech video platform is under such intense threats and assault from upstream internet infrastructure providers that we are now being forced to implement outrageous limitations on speech in order to avoid the entire platform being annihilated new announcement to come soon Certain ISPs in New Zealand have now blocked the entire domain of Brighteoncom even after all the mosque shooting videos were removed from the platform under threat from other infrastructure providers New Zealand and Australia are now essentially Communist China in terms of internet censorship with NZ rapidly becoming a new Islamic state that celebrates hijabs a symbol of the oppression of women and gays We have now reached the point where the tech giants are banning all questions about vaccines… where “anti-cancer” content is being stifled on Facebook and Google… where any opinion that opposes the authoritarian left-wing techno-tyranny is silenced into oblivion Our elections are no longer fair and free given that Democracy depends entirely on public knowledge and public debate so that citizens who vote might decide for themselves which candidates and policy decisions to support yet we now find ourselves in a world where tech giants like Google and Twitter are now deciding all future elections by silencing conservative pro-Trump pro-Christian pro-America speech while granting artificially high visibility to pro-Democrat pro-socialism pro-communism and pro-Islam speech “New research from psychologist and search engine expert Dr Robert Epstein shows that biased Google searches had a measurable impact on the 2018 midterm elections pushing tens of thousands of votes towards the Democrat candidates in three key congressional races and potentially millions more in races across the country” reports Breitbart News “According to Epstein’s study at least 35455 undecided voters in the three districts may have been persuaded to vote for a Democrat candidate because of slanted Google search results Considering that each vote gained by a Democrat is potentially a vote lost by a Republican this means more than 70910 votes may have been lost by Republicans in the three districts due to Google bias In one of these districts CA 45 the Democrat margin of victory was just over 12000 votes” What the tech giants are doing today is far worse than the book burning of the Third Reich We have truly reached the point of peak insanity vastly outpacing the Third Reich and its systematic book burning agenda to deprive the people of access to “unauthorized” information that might be found in printed books It’s not just books that are under attack today of course: It’s all human knowledge which runs counter to the insane deranged narratives of the political Left We are now being told that biology no longer exists and that gender is “fluid” Despite the fact that this insane idea violates the basic sciences of physiology this is now such an ingrained position in the minds of the tech giants that anyone who opposes the gender fluidity delusion is labeled as being engaged in “hate speech” Facebook has even announced it will no longer allow advertising companies to market to women or women by gender selection claiming there is no such thing as biological gender Yes Leftists now literally believe there is no such thing as a “man” or a “woman” We’re also being told that carbon dioxide is a “pollutant” and that the world will end in 12 years if we don’t shut down all combustion engines and fossil fuel consumption the “Green New Deal” This is pure insanity on its face especially given the fact that India and China are the world’s largest producers of CO2 by far and they would obviously not be stupid enough to collapse their entire air travel agriculture and transportation industries in order to appease some insane deranged Democrat from New York whose IQ is so low that is strains the very definition of “intelligent species” Even more carbon dioxide is actually the “greening” molecule of life for nearly all plants across Earth and higher CO2 levels would restore rainforests grasslands and crops which are currently suffering under near-record low concentrations of CO2 which are near the lowest point in the history of our planet Note the RED line in the chart below showing how today’s CO2 levels are near the lowest ever experienced in the history of our planet: As all of this is happening we’re being told that all conservative speech is “hate speech” because Leftists — snowflake crybullies — have trained themselves to feel afraid of any conservative ideas including religion gun ownership for self-defense and even the fundamental idea of a nation controlling its own borders “Hate speech” is now whatever the lunatic Left says it is and even their own definition keeps wildly expanding into territory that’s so far beyond sanity and reason that it begs the question of what sort of mass mental illness affliction has taken hold on liberal cities Seriously are these people being mass poisoned with heavy metals or pesticide chemicals Is there something in the food No prominent Leftist has spoken out against censorship by the tech giants Amazingly there isn’t a single prominent Leftist who thinks that total censorship oppression of speech gun confiscation and the collapse of the entire fossil fuel-powered agricultural industry is a problem Almost without exception every single Democrat in America has essentially joined the Fourth Reich of modern fascism They cheer it They demand it And they see nothing wrong with it Fake Native American Elizabeth Warren recently declared that “housing” was a human right yet she refuses to proclaim that speech is a human right In fact among all the “rights” demanded by Democrats — including the right to murder their own babies in the name of “women’s health” — the freedom to speak is no longer one of them In censoring the speech of those with whom they disagree many Leftists now demand the outright murder of all white people Christians Trump supporters and gun owners They are systematically demonizing people for the color of their skin too claiming that being born “white” makes you evil by definition The term “white privilege” is a racial slur but the Left gets away with it because they don’t perceive their own bigotry and racism and racism at all Yes the very same political party that once embraced Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s call for a merit-based color blind society is now ready to leap at the idea of genocide — the nationwide extermination of people based entirely on the color of their skin To them this isn’t “intolerance” or hate… it’s “justice!” Even the ACLU has been silent on the mass censorship of conservative speech confirming it cares nothing about “civil liberties” and has collapsed into nothing but another left-wing hate branch of the SPLC The left-wing media itself meanwhile has collapsed into “journo-terrorism” where its primary goal is to psychologically terrorize its own viewers rather than keep people informed about important events Every world event is now another panic-driven bout of hysteria to try to demonize President Trump and every idea proposed by lunatic Democrats is embraced and celebrated as being “genius” even if it’s incredibly stupid and destructive to society How would “race reparations” really work anyway given that all living humans today can trace their ancestry back to Africa The fake news is beyond fake: It is criminal in its intent And tech giants are beyond dangerous they are running criminal racketeering and vote fraud schemes which are designed to suffocate the voices of the People and grant powerful corporations total control over the future of America Which by the way doesn’t even include America as a sovereign nation since every last one of the tech giants wants to see America overrun with illegal immigrants and turned into a Third World despotic authoritarian socialist craphole run by Democrats The tech giants must be stopped or America is lost We have now reached the point where if either the government or “We the People” don’t rise up and defeat the tech giants humanity will be forever enslaved under a globalist system of techno-fascism Yet US Senators sit and twiddle their thumbs Congress does nothing There is no organized outcry and even the President has taken no decisive action against the tech giants and their growing threat to freedom and democracy Where are the DOJ indictments of the CEOs of the tech giants Where are the mass citizens’ protests in front of the offices of Facebook and Twitter Why is Jack Dorsey free to silence whomever he wants for any reason with zero transparency and no due process whatsoever “Conservatives are coming together across a broad spectrum of enterprises and joining forces to fight what some of us believe to be potentially the greatest threat to liberty in history… I think we’re heading for an all-out war” said Brent Bozell founder of the Media Research Center as reported by Fox News: Bozell dined with leaders from the Washington Times The Federalist The Daily Signal LifeSite News Breitbart Regnery Publishing Prager U Sinclair Broadcasting The Heritage Foundation and others to discuss what they say is a left-wing bias among billionaire tech titans who are using their power to “push a political agenda” with Google Facebook Twitter and Google-owned YouTube being their primary targets “Google is potentially the most dangerous because of the power it has with its search engine” Bozell said “You’ve also got service companies that are getting into the act whether it’s PayPal or Microsoft or numerous others they’re now starting to either flat-out censor… or demonize conservative online publications” As for Twitter Bozell said it has a global group of influencers who are able to spout their messages while people with beliefs that don’t coincide with the company’s agenda are often muted He said users are forced to abide by “speech control” which gets to be “Orwellian after a while” because a ruler is essentially telling you what rhetoric is acceptable “Some of us have been cognizant of this emerging threat from the beginning” Bozell said “Only recently has everyone started realizing how big this problem is and how existentially necessary it is to fight them Everyone is in agreement that it’s an all-hands on deck situation for freedom” We have reached the point in this insanity where it may appear that the only remaining solution to save America and the First Amendment is going to be a mass uprising of concerned citizens who occupy and dismantle the tech giants server by server desk by desk cubicle by cubicle If the DOJ will take no action the thinking goes and if the President will say nothing to defend the First Amendment since his own Twitter account is not yet banned and the legal system has been corrupted under Sec 230 to grant tech corporations absolute legal immunity even while they run mafia-style racketeering operations to stifle their political enemies the remaining option comes down to pitchforks and torches so to speak But there may be a better option: Seizing the domain names of the tech giants and prohibiting them from operating at all see below for more details If the tech giants are not stopped they will inevitably be targeted in a coming civil war that we all hope to avoid A day of reckoning is coming in America We are one spark away from an open civil war and that spark could be something as simple as the initiation of nationwide gun confiscation laws which would be fiercely resisted by armed patriots law enforcement officers and both active duty and former military veterans The tyranny that was just unleashed in New Zealand by an authoritarian government simply won’t be tolerated in America The people will fight it It has become clear that the most important strategic assets in any civil war will be the tech giants Control over online speech is now even more important than control over the establishment media which has all but committed credibility suicide since 2016 I do not condone the use of violence against technology companies — I call for peaceful protests and occupation — but in my analysis it’s clear that if a second civil war is unleashed in America the tech giants will be obvious tactical assets that get prioritized for control In my analysis of this theoretical civil war until the tech giants are overrun by patriot forces all pro-America forces in such a scenario would be designated as “terrorists” by the tech giants which would also permanently ban all pro-America voices from every single online platform including Google and Facebook Seizing control over these assets and forcing a restoration of First Amendment freedoms for all Americans would be one of the most urgent priorities for pro-America forces At the boots-on-the-ground military tactical level this would be made difficult by the fact that tech giants tend to reside in left-wing Antifa-ridden areas of the country where anti-America forces would fight any patriots National Guard troops or military forces that attempt to halt the Left’s Fourth Reich crimes against humanity via speech oppression It’s worth noting that the tech giants really are engaged in crimes against humanity Silencing the speech of human beings in the way now being conducted by the tech giants is an assault on human dignity and basic human rights All those who use peaceful lawful means to halt these crimes against humanity and restore the basic human dignity of free speech would be well justified in doing so including those taking part in the defense of America against the communist-leaning insurrection and treason that’s now being carried out daily by the techno-fascists How President Trump could protect America and halt the tech giants’ insurrection all at once The “ace in the hole” in all this would be a conservative president declaring a national emergency and seizing the domain names of Google Facebook Twitter YouTube and other tech giants By declaring these tech companies to be engaged in an active insurrection against the United States of America — and operating in open complicity with Antifa terrorists and Mexican drug cartels that engage in human trafficking across the open border — the President could demand those domains be seized by the US State Department and prohibited from operating This is the solution that avoids the entire issue of people on the street battling for control over physical servers and server farms Seizing Googlecom and halting Google’s insurrection against America — and its active complicity with Communist China — is a simple non-violent solution that would end the techno-dictatorship which has now been put in place by the tech giants On the flip side a left-wing President could exercise the same power against conservatives sites and seize domain names such as Infowarscom or ZeroHedgecom — two independent media websites which are already targeted and largely de-platformed by leftist tech giants Control over the domain space is the ultimate control over online speech and that’s exactly why President Trump needs to give the tech giants this ultimatum: If you will not halt your oppression of human rights and your censorship of Americans based on political and religious bigotry as well as active election meddling you will no longer be allowed to operate as the dominant “public square” content controllers Join me in spreading the word Seizing the domain names of Google Facebook YouTube Twitter Apple Instagram Snapchat and Pinterest is exactly what President Trump should order right now These tech giants are engaged in an active insurrection against America they are engaged in active election meddling and election fraud and they are depriving Americans of their basic civil rights and human rights by silencing important voices of dissent If Google and the other tech giants are not going to honor the basic social contract of freedom of speech they must be seized and prohibited from operating at all Believe it or not any President of the United States has the power to seize corporations if they are engaged in treason against America It is time to exercise that power and restore a level playing field of free speech for all Americans It is time to end the techno-dictatorship in America by using the power of government to protect the First Amendment rights of the citizens Tech companies that engage in politically biased censorship and election meddling must be halted from operating

Roundup glyphosate caused man’s cancer… 9000 more lawsuits are pending could bankrupt Bayer March 24th 2019 Jesus Christ exposed the Jews Natural News For the second time in a year a jury has decided that the popular glyphosate weed killer Roundup caused a man’s cancer The victory could inspire a flood of similar suits in addition to the thousands that Roundup manufacturer Monsanto is already facing and the firm’s new owner Bayer could end up going bankrupt over it On Wednesday the share price of Bayer dropped more than 13 percent following the unanimous decision Investors were apparently spooked when a jury in a San Francisco federal court concluded that Roundup was a “substantial factor” in the development of Edwin Hardeman’s cancer According to his attorneys the 70-year-old developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma as a result of using Roundup regularly over the course of 26 years to address weeds overgrowth and poison oak on his property The next phase is now underway and will determine if Bayer is liable for the amateur gardener’s illness and if so how much money they will have to pay out Hardeman’s attorneys will argue that Monsanto either knew or should have known that the product can cause cancer and they will ask the jury to have the firm pay for his medical bills as well as damages A lawyer for Hardeman Jennifer Moore said: “We feel confident based on the evidence that a jury when presented with all of the evidence will see that Monsanto has committed 40 years of corporate malfeasance” Documents suggest Monsanto knew the dangers colluded with regulators Internal emails between federal regulators and Monsanto that have been publicly released as part of litigation suggest the firm authored its own research on glyphosate and then credited it to academics It also showed how a senior EPA official tried to suppress a federal glyphosate study planned by the US Department of Health and Human Services The power of the elements: Discover

cancer risk warning In August jurors in a California state court trial awarded a school groundskeeper 289 million after he developed terminal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma Although the award was later reduced the company’s culpability stands the judge ruled that Monsanto intentionally withheld information about the dangers of its weed killers Ranger Pro and Roundup and failed to inform customers that it could cause cancer Related: Glyphosate is the next Big Tobacco … Thousands of lawsuits could bankrupt Monsanto / Bayer Monsanto and Bayer are now facing more than 9000 lawsuits of a similar nature across the country and that number could well climb as more people are diagnosed with illnesses related to exposure to the chemical which has been labeled by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer as being “probably carcinogenic to humans” Some countries have already banned the use of the product while others plan to phase it out Given the controversy surrounding the potentially carcinogenic product you might wonder why Bayer was so eager to acquire Monsanto paying 63 billion for the company last year In addition to its desire to control their GM crop seeds Bayer was very interested in Monsanto’s Climate Corp data analytics which it believes is the future of farming Analysts believe the total cost of settling with plaintiffs in these cases could easily reach as high as 10 billion The stock’s drop on Wednesday marked its biggest intraday loss in 16 years and cut 91 billion from its valuation In addition if its stock continues to fall Bayer could become a target for activists or even a takeover One activist investor Elliott already holds a small stake in Bayer It’s somewhat encouraging to see the companies responsible for hurting people in their pursuit of profits finally being held accountable in court and feeling a financial sting but it won’t do much to get back the lives of the thousands of people who are now facing cancer simply because they used a glyphosate product they had been assured was safe Sources for this article include: Physorg Reuterscom lt!– –gt Source Article from Hits: 34 Spice beats chemo: Study reveals turmeric is more effective at killing cancer cells than chemo or radiation March 24th 2019 Jesus Christ exposed the Jews Natural News The mere mention of cancer strikes fear in the hearts of many people and rightfully so Having certain types of cancer often means you’ll be facing years of brutal treatments – if you’re lucky enough to live that long Although it’s hard to imagine the disease could one day be considered non-threatening the way that many of the illnesses that used to kill people hundreds of years ago are viewed now scientific breakthroughs like a recent study exploring turmeric’s effects on cancer cells are starting to give patients some hope This ancient Indian spice has been the subject of many studies in recent years as it continues to demonstrate its strength when it comes to fighting and preventing a host of diseases Its inflammation-fighting properties are already well documented and now a study published in Anticancer Research provides a comprehensive view of how the primary polyphenol in turmeric extract can selectivity kill cancer stem cells safely in ways that put radiation and chemotherapy to shame Many natural cures are valued for their simplicity but turmeric is surprisingly complex in the way it fights cancer It uses multiple molecular mechanisms to attack cancer stem cells which are responsible for producing the cells in tumors These stem cells resist chemotherapy and radiation and surgery can sometimes even cause them to spread which is why they’re often behind conventional treatment failures and tumor recurrence One aspect of curcumin’s intelligent approach is its ability to downregulate interleukin-6 The over-expression of this cytokine has been linked to inflammation progressing to cancer and curcumin stops it from being released and stimulating cancer stem cells It also directly and indirectly downregulates interleukin-1 which plays a vital role in the growth of cancer cells and interleukin-8 which stimulates the regrowth of tumor-forming cancer stem cells The power of the elements: Discover Colloidal Silver Mouthwash with quality natural ingredients like Sangre de Drago sap black walnut hulls menthol

of CXCR1 and CXCR2 and modulating pathways like the Wnt Signaling Pathway the Notch Pathway the FAK/AKT/FOXo3A Pathway and the Hedgehog Pathways If those terms are unfamiliar to you you’re not alone – cancer is a complicated disease but the bottom line is that curcumin targets deadly cancer stem cells in eight different and very powerful ways Related: Science journal confirms eating turmeric cured myeloma cancer in 57-year-old woman Curcumin leaves healthy cells alone Curcumin is a very efficient cancer fighter targeting the most dangerous cells of all cancer stem cells without touching normal cells Contrast this with chemotherapy which damages the DNA of quickly-replicating cells while they’re vulnerable during the mitosis stage of cell division It does this without determining if the cells are cancerous or completely healthy This is essential because normal stem cells are needed to maintain good health They differentiate into the cells needed to replace those cells that become damaged or sick and killing them is one of the biggest problems of chemotherapy and radiation Scientists aren’t exactly sure why curcumin doesn’t have these negative effects on normal stem cells One possible explanation is that malignant cells simply take in more curcumin than normal cells do It’s also possible that curcumin encourages cancer stem cells to differentiate into more benign cells Others theorize that it changes cells’ microenvironments in ways that benefit normal stem cells and harm cancer stem cells We might not yet know precisely how it works its magic we do know that it can be very effective Perhaps even more importantly it’s very safe compared to the currently available cancer treatments Curcumin has been safely used as a cooking spice in many cultures for hundreds of years and it causes very few if any side effects in trials Scientists are still trying to determine the best ways to harness curcumin’s healing power as a cancer therapy and the amounts needed to safely make a difference but in the meantime you can enjoy some of the benefits on a smaller scale by adding this bright yellow spice to your cooking Remember to use a bit of black pepper as well to boost its bioavailability and stay on top of the latest curcumin research It’s possible that cancer will eventually become a far less frightening prospect as researchers develop curcumin-based

exposed the Jews Natural News You can try to run but you certainly won’t be able to hide from the devastating impact of 5G fifth generation wireless communications technology should the tech cabal successfully complete its planned rollout over the next several years According to reports the scheme involves launching some 20000 satellites into orbit along with potentially millions of small cell towers here on the ground in order to saturate the planet with radioactive transmission signals The wireless industry of course insists that the high-speed technology is completely safe as does the federal government But Dr Sharon Goldberg a professor and doctor of internal medicine insists otherwise “Wireless radiation has biological effects Period” Dr Goldberg stated during a recent testimony before the Senate which you can watch on YouTube “This is no longer a subject for debate when you look at PubMed and the peer-reviewed literature” 5G causes cardiomyopathy DNA and neuropsychiatric damage and cancer warns Dr Goldberg Even with existing 3G and 4G wireless technologies which are substantially weaker than 5G portends to be problems are widespread “These effects are seen in all life forms plants animals insects microbes” Dr Goldberg contends “In humans we have clear evidence of cancer now – there is no question We have evidence of DNA damage cardiomyopathy which is the precursor of congestive heart failure and neuropsychiatric effects” Nobody can yet say for sure the extent of how harmful 5G will be until the switch is flipped But it will be harmful and this is precisely why

addition to 5G towers being positioned all across the geographical landscape at intervals as close as 500 feet the 20000 satellites to be launched into space will fill in any potential gaps – meaning nobody will be able to escape the impact of 5G Both sources of 5G transmission will blast the planet with “focused beams of intense microwave radiation” according to John P Thomas from Health Impact News And these blasts will have an intensity that’s orders of magnitude higher than anything else in existence up until this point “As bad as these small cell towers might seem from the standpoint of constant exposure to radio frequency RF radiation in close proximity to the source perhaps an even more alarming prospect will be the beaming of millimeter length microwaves at the earth from thousands of new communication satellites” Thomas writes The 5G antennas built into 5G phones themselves will also be unprecedented in terms of their intense levels of radioactive output which bodes ominous for the brain health of those who constantly have 5G phones stuck to their ears “The effective radiated power of the 5G phased array antennas in phones will be 10 times more powerful than 4G phones … No one will be free from exposure” Thomas warns “Stationary equipment such as Wi-Fi hubs in homes and offices will be permitted to use microwave beams that are 15 times stronger 300 watts

inhospitable environs of space can produce sugar molecules Better yet this sugar is not any of the common ones found in foods instead it is the complex molecule found in the DNA of living organisms In a recent experiment the researchers replicated the conditions found in outer space Then they demonstrated how this harsh setting could enable the formation of 2-deoxyribose the complex sugar molecule in deoxyribonucleic acid DNA The findings of the NASA researchers indicated that one of the most important chemical ingredients for the formation of life could be quite common in the universe If this was true 2-deoxyribose could have seeded planets which would make the development of alien life much more likely “We don’t yet know whether life is common in the universe but we’re pretty sure the presence of life’s building blocks is not a limiting factor” said Ames Research Center researcher Michel Nuevo the primary author of the science paper Ames is run by NASA Related: Bacteria found to

their lab They cooled aluminum to near absolute zero temperatures and moved it into a vacuum chamber to simulate space Next they added a gaseous mixture of water vapor and methanol a compound that contained carbon The extremely cold temperature caused the water and methanol to freeze on the surface of the aluminum The entire set-up was then bathed in ultraviolet light that represented cosmic radiation When the researchers evaluated the treated material they discovered a number of different types of sugar molecules on the aluminum One of the sugars turned out to be 2-deoxyribose The results of the Ames experiment mirrored those of a preceding French study in 2016 The French researchers were able to create ribose a related sugar molecule that served a similar purpose in ribonucleic acid RNA RNA was responsible for producing proteins in the body and could be a precursor to the more complex DNA Sugars and other organic compounds that formed in space eventually ended up on Earth 2-deoxyribose and ribose are just two of the organic molecules that have been found on meteorites Space rocks are also known to have amino acids nucleobases and amphiphiles all of which are important ingredients in living organisms Amino acids are used to create proteins Nucleobases served the same purpose for the genetic code Finally amphiphiles made up the cellular membranes around cells “The universe is an organic chemist” Ames researcher and secondary author Scott Sandford remarked “It has big beakers and lots of time – and the result is a lot of organic material some of which is useful to life” These organic compounds may have first formed in space but they eventually ended up on planets due to meteorites and comets that brought those compounds to the surface of said planets Samples of those space rocks are known to have acids alcohols and other derivatives of sugars When exposed to water these derivatives could eventually turn into the more complex sugars used in RNA and DNA Life could potentially develop from those compounds as it did on Earth Sources include: SciTechDailycom Naturecom lt!– –gt Source Article from Hits: 42 Navigating the Dark Night of the

March 24th 2019 Jesus Christ exposed the Jews March 23rd 2019 By Marco Torres Guest writer for Wake Up World The risks of consuming pasteurized cow’s milk are pronounced when consuming in the long term especially for women Not only does pasteurized milk create imbalances in the ratios of crucial minerals but it influences progression and rates of osteoporosis So which alternatives to milk are there and which ones are actually healthy The most heavily consumed processed milks in the world all carry significant problems if we assess their toxic/nutrient balance Cow’s milk is is essentially a dead liquid devoid of any real nutritional value Pasteurized dairy contains too little magnesium needed at the proper ratio to absorb the calcium Most would agree that a minimum amount of Cal to Mag Ratio is 2 to 1 and preferably 1 to 1 So milk at a Cal/Mag ratio of 10 to 1 has a problem You may put 1200 mg of dairy calcium in your mouth but you will be lucky to actually absorb a third of it into your system Over 99 of the body’s calcium is in the skeleton where it provides mechanical rigidity Pasteurized dairy forces a calcium intake lower than normal and the skeleton is used as a reserve to meet needs Long-term use of skeletal calcium to meet these needs leads to osteoporosis Along with almond milk soy milk has been one of the most popular dairy milk alternatives It’s considered higher in protein and fiber than almost any milk on the market but these benefits are generously outweighed by the health risks which are numerous The old alternatives — soy rice and coconut milk — are now joined on grocery shelves by alt-milks made from almonds cashews macadamia nuts oats peas flax hemp — the list goes on and on You can even buy milk made from potatoes or bananas Since 2012 non-dairy milk sales in the US have risen 61 per cent according to market research by Mintel There is a similar trend in the UK with plant-milk sales up a third since 2015 More than half of that is almond milk with soy and coconut milks making up another quarter of the market As you might expect for the latest food trend these milks are mostly bought by millennials or adults younger than 35 Manufacturers appeal to that generation’s values by positioning the products as a healthy alternative both for the body and the planet But is that really true Nutritionally it depends on which milk replacement you consider In general they are made by grinding up plants and soaking them in water then adding emulsifiers and stabilisers to thicken the liquid and keep it from separating but they have a lot of variety Almond and cashew milks have less than half the calories found in cow’s milk but are lower in protein Coconut and hemp milk have a rich texture owing to their high fat content and they also include a small amount of dietary fibre not found in cow’s milk Oat and rice milks are higher in carbohydrates than both cow’s milk and other plant-based alternatives Milks made from legumes such as peas soya beans and peanuts also offer amino acids not found in cereal crops Each type of alternative milk has its nutritional benefits and limitations Any one of them can be considered healthy only when combined with a rounded diet though the same can be said for dairy milk “Almost all of these products are fortified” says P K Newby a nutrition and sustainability scientist at Harvard University Many non-dairy milks have vitamin D vitamin B12 and calcium added to make them more similar to cow’s milk “Milk alternatives are only healthy if combined with a rounded diet though the same is true of dairy milk” Few of them have added iodine though which helps make thyroid hormones that regulate our metabolism A 2017 study of iodine levels in seven types of plant-based milks available in the UK found average iodine concentrations of just 17 per cent that seen in cow’s milk The authors found that only three of 47 alt-milks on the market were fortified with iodine and the concentration in those was just a bit over half that seen in cow’s milk Still Newby says people who use milk in their coffee or just for cereal could easily switch to a non-dairy alternative without much dietary impact see “Where to start with alt-milk“ “It’s not like most people are drinking this for the nutrients as such” she says “They tend to meet their nutrient needs with other foods” Glass Half-Full There are some alt-milks it makes little sense to produce in bulk Rice milk is an option for those with dairy nut gluten and soy allergies but it has far less protein than cow’s milk and often has significant amounts of sweeteners added to improve the flavour It is also one of the most environmentally costly alt-milks to produce When rice paddies are flooded to stimulate plant growth submerged biomass decomposes without oxygen producing the potent greenhouse gas methane “Rice has a much greater carbon footprint than other cereals” says Elin Roos who studies the environmental impacts of food production at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences “It’s very low in nutrition I don’t see why you should use it” Of course cows are notoriously bad for the environment as well The carbon footprint of producing cow’s milk varies from place to place but in Western countries it is typically around twice as big as that of making plant-based alternatives says Roos A 2010 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations found that the production packaging and transportation of cow’s milk emits 4 per cent of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions In fact lactating cattle are the main source of greenhouse gases among all livestock and poultry These emissions include methane that builds up in a cow’s digestive tract and is then burped out or emitted from its manure Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide are also released from any land cleared for feed crops Fertilisers used to grow feed further add to the greenhouse gas emissions “You need to produce a lot of feed for the animals” says Roos “Most of the energy in that feed is lost in the process of feeding animals so in general all the resource use is much bigger for animal products than for plant-based milks” Land management plays a role in the environmental impact of every kind of milk Some cattle graze on grassland which stores more carbon than land that has crops turned over each year But a 2017 study by the Food Climate Research Network at the University of Oxford found that the carbon sequestered in the soil would only offset up to 11 per cent of the animals’ emissions Carbon isn’t the only environmental concern to consider Nuts are notorious water sinks with some requiring nearly as much water to produce as cow’s milk “We made a calculation that came to a water footprint of 917 litres per litre of almond milk the same order of magnitude as cow milk 1000 litres per litre” says Arjen Hoekstra at the University of Twente in the Netherlands He also found that producing 1 litre of soy milk requires 297 litres of water That includes water that ends up in the milk itself water that evaporates during production and water polluted by those processes It also accounts for the water used to make the sugars and starches that flavour and stabilise the milk In a 2010 report the UNESCO Institute for Water Education assessed the water footprint of global food crops It found that of the plants used for alt-milks water usage was highest for nuts flax and soy and lowest for coconut oats rice and hemp “You also have to take into account the water scarcity situation in a region” says Roos There are places where you need to irrigate to produce any crops so they will have higher water usage And there are places like Sweden she says that rely more on rain stored in the soil — but that also adds to a water footprint On the whole it is clear that alt-milks are friendlier to the environment than traditional dairy but their growing popularity may cause problems As more people jump on the bandwagon manufacturers are starting to compete to introduce new flavours and new types of plant-based milks Roos warns that this trend may cause unintended environmental harm If demand for coconut milk skyrockets for example it will become more profitable to grow coconut trees which could lead to deforestation as farms expand To avoid that it is best to have several non-dairy options to choose from So maybe the proliferation of alt-milks is a saving grace “Alt-milks are better for the environment than dairy but their growing appeal may cause problems” All that said sometimes the impacts on the food system may not be worth the end product says Roos as with rice milk Or take banana milk which involves blending bananas usually adding some sugar and spice for flavour and straining the mixture Then it must be packaged stored and transported “Is it worth it Or is it best to just eat the banana” asks Roos Where To Start With Alt-milk Each non-dairy milk option has its pros and cons Decide what is most important to you — nutrition sustainability allergies — and then get tasting Here are a few brief reviews of some of the most popular alt-milks Rice: For those with allergies to nuts soy dairy and gluten rice milk is the way to go It is a bit thin on flavour and texture Banana: Another allergy-free option with a bit more substance than rice milk but it can be difficult to find Almond or other nuts: The flavour is nutty as you might expect and stronger than some other non-dairy milks Try these if you want something with a bit more taste Coconut: The flavour here is one of the strongest of the alt-milks so you will really have to be a fan of the tropical taste Pea: Nutritionally strong and very close to cow’s milk in texture pea milk is a nice alternative if you aren’t looking for a strong flavour and you want to avoid products with a large water footprint Oat: This is relatively easy on the environment It has an earthy flavour and enough body to use with coffee or cereal Brazil nuts almonds hazelnuts walnuts pecans and hemp seeds all make nutrient dense great tasting milks and they’re all essentially made the same way WHAT YOU NEED Organic nuts or seeds A general rule is a ratio of at least 2:1 Two parts water to 1 part nuts or seeds Half-gallon mason jar or glass pitcher Use this for soaking the nuts and storing your final product Blender of food processor You don’t need a high-speed blender or anything fancy to make nut milk Nut milk bag cheesecloth or fine-meshed sieve optional Use if you like your milk smooth instead of pulpy SOAK nuts seeds or grains by placing in a bowl with filtered water and a pinch of sea salt Different foods require different soak times – Place the desired nuts or seeds in a glass bowl and cover them with warm distilled purified or filtered water with a teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt dissolved in it – You will want to use a ratio of at least 2:1 Two parts water to 1 part nuts or seeds – Keep the bowl at room temperature and cover with a flour sac cloth or thin tea towel that breathes and then drain and rinse every few hours to remove the nasties – The soaking water will contain all of the toxic enzyme inhibitors which we are trying to remove to improve digestibility and nutrient bioavailability and helps everything blend more easily So proper rinsing is really important Make sure you do a final rinse until the water comes out clear Some people recommend doing a final rinse with a diluted solution of apple cider vinegar in order to remove any remaining bacteria – You want to try and soak the nuts for the recommended amount of time to make them as digestible as possible – As a general rule with nuts: the harder the nut the longer you need to soak Long soak nuts such as almonds pistachios and hazelnuts are best soaked for about 12 hours Common medium soak nuts are walnuts brazil nuts and pecans They require less soaking time as they swell more quickly as they are oilier Short soak nuts are cashews macadamias and pine nuts They require the least amount of soaking as they do not contain inner skins and therefore not as many enzyme inhibitors BLEND with filtered water A high-speed machine like a Vitamix is preferable to really pulverize the mixture A 1:3 ration of nuts/seeds/grains to water generally yields good results I start with 2 cups of water and gradually add more water until I get the taste and consistency I like Blend for about 1 minute This can warm the mixture Chill in the fridge or blend with ice to consume immediately SWEETEN the milk to taste with pitted dates stevia maple syrup honey coconut sugar etc You can also add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to boost flavors and 1 tablespoon of coconut butter to emulsify ingredients You can also jazz up your milks with raw cacao fruit cinnamon nutmeg or anything else that tickles your fancy STRAIN Some foods like cashews macadamias and pecans yield smooth milks However with most other foods like almonds you will get some texture You can enjoy this fibrous milk or strain it for a smoother more commercial-style blend Place a nut milk bag over a large container pour the milk in and gently squeeze the bag until all liquid has passed through You can repurpose the pulp as a body scrub by mixing with some coconut oil or dehydrate it for use in cookies crusts and crackers Here are five ideas for your pulp if you don’t want it in your milk: 1 Nut Flour The pulp can be dehydrated or placed in a 200 degree oven until dried Grind the dried pulp in a spice grinder or high-speed blender until fine2 Raw cookies Blend the pulp with some dates nut butter shredded coconut and sweet spices Roll into balls and roll in shredded coconut or raw cocoa powder 3 Soft raw cheese Blend the pulp in a food processor with a little nutritional yeast garlic lemon juice fresh herbs and salt Serve with crackers 4 Cereal Combine the pulp with your fresh nut milk dried fruits nuts and sweet spices for a porridge-like cereal ENJOY Most milks will keep in the fridge in a sealed container for two or three days Freeze any leftovers in ice cube trays for use later Homemade milks can separate when stored

World’s latest videos Source Article from Hits: 20 Focused Intention March 24th 2019 Jesus Christ exposed the Jews March 22nd 2019 By Jennie Ankney Guest Writer for Wake Up World We want to ask ourselves a question from time to time just to check in What are we focusing on To answer that question let’s look at the manifestation process or Law of Attraction If it is true that we create our reality and it is a function of the collaboration of our thoughts which creates a feeling and subsequently we are motivated to act and behave in certain ways And it is also true that we are energy and all energy has a vibration Then we are vibrating at a specific frequency that then gets broadcasted into the space around us That energy or frequency tunes into other people or things or even situations that are at that same frequency and thus we have an attractive force based on our thoughts feelings and actions…or focus Our focus is entirely under our command We choose what to focus upon Sometimes that can still be like holding an open firehose right It has a mind of its own I can’t get a saddle on my mind chatter This is more common than not for many of us We are distracted by so much input and possibilities in our modern world There is chaotic energy pulling our focus in many directions We have even found reasons to blame other people or objects for what we are creating with the vibration we are pulsing out by the focus we are holding When we take full responsibility for our vibration and resulting experiences we grab our focus back onto the experiences we want to create vs random creation/focus We give ourselves back our personal power Look at how powerful TV has become We sit down relax and gaze our focus upon the programming on TV This is passive focus We allow our focus to be dragged in and out of our selected program to focus upon advertising for businesses with a lot of money to spend They have control of our focus And depending upon what program we chose that program also has our focus and is making suggestions about us and the world around us When our focus is so relaxed as it is when we watch TV or movies these suggestions are quite powerful because our brains are at the ready to be programmed in that relaxed mode This is the place we want to get to during meditation This is where we practice being the observer Practicing no thought This is a powerful focusing tool Imagine the seeds you can plant when in this relaxed state You have the power to change your life in what ways you see fit If we allow our focus to pin ball from one thing to the next like TV programming and advertising our energy is chaotic and the overall net vibration we are pulsing out creates more chaos Do we want to start utilizing that power of our focus to our benefit What do we want to focus on What do you want to focus on If what we focus on expands then this is where we decide what we want for our lives We are here to create things in our lives that are enjoyable or even thrilling! Not more chaos right Let’s set our intention on harmony and we may want prosperity for ourselves and our loved ones too Take the time to sit down and figure out what you want to create in writing – writing it out gives your creations more power And we’re all about personal power Our practice of intentional focus can include the following steps: Thoughts help us to describe the visuals and how we want to feel Writing this down is another way to solidify our intentions Starting with gratitude can put you in a good mood right away even if you are in a terrible mood at the start Ask me how I know Feelings are in the NOW moment How we feel is always NOW no matter if we are remembering feelings from the past or if we worry about the future Best choice yet is conjuring our feelings for an expectant future This is where being more childlike making it fun and playful is where it is easy to get excited and dream big Miracles happen when we are happily expectant of an amazing outcome Why not set a trend where the miraculous becomes ubiquitous We can all practice this gratitude and contentment for a future with an assured best outcome It’s a great collective goal! Action uses the body When you follow inspiration and act on it you are already in a great space because you are in the receiving mode of an inspiration Meditation is another intentional action that is very powerful This tool takes practice Staying in the NOW moment and being the observer where there ultimately will be no thought You just start where you are and practice your best Give yourself permission to make this a priority in your life Have you figured out what you have been focused on Is that your intention Perfect! Every NOW moment you have a chance to keep choosing something to focus on that is working for you You can also make mistakes as we all do and choose another focused intention preferably learning from those mistakes as we go along There are no punishments for making mistakes When we give ourselves permission to ask for forgiveness from ourselves or others we give ourselves compassion This opens our hearts to be more compassionate to others What if everyone on earth decided to do that That would be some miraculous awesome-sauce!!

How to Meditate for Beginners Find your motivation to start Pick a peaceful quiet place Choose relaxing clothes and a comfortable pose To start set a timer for two minutes Concentrate on your breathing If your concentration is interrupted refocus on your breathing Do a body scan by focusing on different areas of your body End your meditation with a positive ritual Remember not to overthink it Just enjoy the journey Make it a habit The Step-by-Step Guide to Meditation While there are countless meditation techniques and practices the steps below offer a simple way to begin Remember while meditating there is always room for improvement and a chance to learn something new Try to enjoy the journey as you hone your meditation skills 1 Choose to Start Meditation starts with you No matter your age or physical condition meditation is always within reach What is required on your part is the decision to begin If you need some motivation then try thinking about the reasons why you want to try it in the first place Meditation can relieve stress and anxiety promote physical and mental well being and even be a spiritual experience Find a quiet moment to write down what you are hoping to get out of it and go back and read it anytime you need some motivation to meditate 2 Pick Your Location Wisely Your environment is critical to cultivating the right experience Try to find a peaceful quiet space that helps you feel relaxed While a calm bedroom tranquil garden or dedicated meditation space is ideal it’s not always possible When the optimal location is not available remember your car or even work desk can serve as your very own meditation retreat The most important thing especially when first starting out is finding a location where you have the freedom to meditate for at least two minutes without interruption 3 Get Comfortable With It Before you can completely clear your mind you will need to limit as many distractions as possible Even small irritations will become distracting once you begin to meditate Scan the area before you start and consider the type of pose you will be in the clothes you are wearing and your surroundings in general Turn off your cell phone and anything else that might be disruptive Pick a Pose Meditation works in nearly any position Sitting standing and laying down are three basic poses that are great for first-time meditators Select your starting posture based on comfort and whether or not you can hold it for a few minutes at a time For most people a good starting position is sitting cross-legged hands resting on the legs and eyes closed Clothes Any clothing can work for meditation but again comfort is key Many people enjoy light loose-fitting clothes when they meditate but you can wear anything you find relaxing If you can’t decide what to wear throw on your favorite pair of pajamas or comfortable workout clothes Chairs and Pillows Meditation can involve long periods of sitting especially as you progress Seasoned meditators will typically have a dedicated cushion or mat in their home but these are not necessary when you’re first starting out Choose a comfy blanket or pillow or a sturdy well cushioned chair to maximize comfort for extended meditation sessions Sounds and Smells Many other factors such as sounds and smells can help set the stage for a positive meditation session Some prefer adding aromas in the forms of incense essential oils or scented candles while others like to avoid sensory distractions altogether Whatever you choose just make sure the air you are breathing is fresh and clear of any toxins or pollutants Natural sounds like wild animals or a babbling brook can also enhance or distract depending on the individual Try a variety of settings to find out which works best for you 4 Set a Timer Meditation does not need to be a long process unless you want it to be If you are just starting out then begin with small increments of time Setting a timer is very helpful for beginners because it can help keep your focus on breathing and not on the clock To start set the timer for two minutes and do your best to stay focused and in the moment As your confidence builds try extending the timer by 30 seconds every session until you are meditating for five minutes or longer 5 Focus On Your Breathing One of the best ways to begin the practice of meditation is to focus on your breathing Choose your pose and follow your breath as it flows from your nose into your lungs and out again as you exhale Some find it helpful to count breaths but it isn’t necessary Concentrating on your breathing will help your mind focus as it adjusts to the silence Even seasoned meditators pay close attention to their breathing as a way to be more mindful 6 Return When You Wander Most meditation practices aim to clear the brain of all thoughts and be more mindful However it is natural and even inevitable that your mind will wander or fixate on rotating feelings and physical sensations Getting lost in these distractions is entirely normal but not the goal of meditation When this happens to you recognize that your mind has wandered and try to refocus on your breathing 7 Scan Your Body Towards the end of each meditation session take the time to do a body scan During this scan focus on different areas of your body Ask yourself how you feel and pay close attention to any part that may need healing Shift your focus from your breathing and gradually move your attention from your toes up through your feet and legs Eventually you will reach every area of your body Similar to your breathing return focus when your mind wanders 8 End Your Session on a Positive Note Carry your mindfulness through to the end of your session Slowly get up and take note of how you feel Breathe in deeply and gently adjust your body and mind Creating a personal ritual to end each session may be helpful Ending rituals could include reciting a personal mantra or finishing with a light exercise or walk 9 Don’t Overthink It Don’t spend your meditation time worrying whether or not you are doing it right It may take a while for you to become proficient and that is ok Just keep at it have fun and enjoy the journey 10 Repeat Often Meditation can help support a healthy body and mind It promotes healthy blood pressure a happy mood and strengthens coping skills1 2 3 However to start seeing the benefits you will need to meditate regularly and make it a habit Try picking a time and place every day where you can dedicate two to five minutes to meditate Meditation Aids As you continue with your meditation journey you may benefit from additional help and advice along the way As meditation has gone mainstream meditation aids of all kinds are more available Guided Meditation Guided meditation is an excellent option for many beginners Many audio and video guides are inexpensive or even free online Depending on where you live local guided meditation classes may also be available During these guided meditation classes instructors will walk you through what to do and how to do it In-person classes can also provide additional support from like-minded meditators There Is an App for That Thanks to modern technologies there is a constant stream of new resources to help you meditate better Many phone apps can help you start or perfect the practice of meditation With new apps coming out daily you will have many options to choose Look for an app that’s in a comfortable price range and focuses on a technique you want to improve Apps are especially beneficial for first-time meditators looking to track their progress Your Meditation Journey Have you tried meditation Leave a comment below and let us know what helps you meditate and how it improves your physical
