Pulling Out of the Banks

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

Well, I have this to show you… a short documentary video about the use of actual gold and silver in place of inflating currency. I find it most enlightening and heartening that these people in Indonesia are sophisticated enough to frank their own currency instead of losing their wealth to the inflation of fiat currency.  It also makes me feel a tad depressed that the majority of Americans, and most of Europe, aren’t getting this concept down pat. In fact, I think the majority of America and Europe are in for a very rude awakening. http://www.davidicke.com/articles/the-money-scam/37146-gold-dinar-silver-dirham-

Up until fairly recently, both the U.S. and Great Britain made it against the law to own gold bullion. Both thankfully rescinded those insane laws.  The U.S. made it unlawful to own gold bullion back during the Great Depression… they made anyone stupid enough to do so, cash in their gold at $20 an ounce, and once that was done, the gold was revalued  at $30 an ounce. That was a huge difference back then, and a travesty as well.  In fact, I distinctly remember an old Disney movie starring Dean Jones in which the main character discovered that he had a duck that laid solid gold eggs, and the character fretted about being caught with this “bullion” by the authorities. 

I expect some similar attempt to rescind any of our attempts to maintain control over our personal wealth by the NWO types. Obama is already considering imposing a transaction fee on all bank transactions… like if you go on-line and move $100 from checking to savings, you’ll pay a 2% tax on that simple movement. Or when your paycheck hits the bank, they would collect a percentage of that (on top of what they’ve already withheld)… then there’s that “carbon tax” thing they’re trying to soak us for. It also looks like they’re going to try to get people off of cash so they can be assured of collecting these taxes.  The minute you hear that crud, you definitely keep your paychecks away from the bank. I fully expect to see alternative check cashing services cropping up at that point. I expect to see a lot of alternative commerce in general.

These central bankers are doing to the U.S. exactly what they’ve done to the countries in the European Union, as well as so many other countries around the world. In each and every case, they sink their hooks into a country’s economy, rack up the debt service, then impose “austerity measures”… they hike taxes and take away pensions. Yes, they’re doing that here. It is total economic enslavement. We have to stop it. Iceland did… their populace elected some normal non-politician citizens to clean up the mess, then arrested the officials that had created the mess, then decided NOT to pay the IMF for the debt that the country did nothing to rack up. Iceland is showing the way.

I agree that people are waking up to the fact that we are being plundered by a cabal of private bankers. I also understand that most of the money is being held and used by less than 10 big banks, who have managed to bribe congressmen to relax the regulations they had to follow, and then privatize all profits while pushing all losses to the public sector.  We need to quit subsidizing these people. When you add together what we pay in property taxes, sales taxes, income taxes and now the taxes that are going to be charged on employer-provided health insurance, it  is only a short matter of time before we see a full-on taxpayer revolt.

I’ve been pestering people, especially my family, to hurry up and at least buy some friggin’ silver. It is now up to $19.84 spot, meaning that you’ll pay over $22 for a 1 oz. silver eagle. I’ve been buying silver off and on since it hit $9 an ounce, so granted, I’m feeling pretty good about this. It won’t be long before the tipping point on silver at around $22-$24 spot per ounce will spur the market. You might as well buy silver now before the price catches up with its availability. I fully expect silver to re-index back to the old 16 to 1 ratio with gold, fairly soon.

I’m slowly pulling away from the banks, myself.   I  recommend not keeping any more in the bank than is absolutely necessary to write checks against to pay bills. I also recommend keeping cash in the house to cover bills in the event of a “bank holiday”, which looks inevitable. You know the utility companies, mortgage companies and grocery stores will continue doing business in regular money long after it loses its value. The mortgage company is under contract to accept the “currency of the realm”, so that’s a no-brainer.

One other thing… don’t put anything in a bank’s “safe deposit box”.  These things are neither regulated nor insured, and bank employees have all the keys and can plunder them at will. Get yourself a fireproof box for your important papers.

Some Info on Guns

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Having spent several evenings talking with ladies who had no earthly idea of what they were looking at when shopping for guns for self-protection, I decided to put some of my thoughts on paper.

There are more gun manufacturers than ever. Your chances of finding a good fit for your lifestyle and protection are excellent. Many manufacturers are creating lines specifically geared for women, including how they typically carry their weapons (purses, anyone?) and their size/strength ratios. There are also more types of ammunition to go with these guns.

I grew up in an NRA household… but that was in the 1970s, before the NRA got so friggin’ nutty about carrying military-style full-auto arms. My dad kept a sizeable collection of fairly exotic ordinance under my bed, in my chest of drawers, and tucked into the attic crawlspace on the other side of my closet. He would describe the protective packaging and length and I would go to the spot and fetch it for him to play with.

The first thing I have to point out is the two basic types: revolvers and semi-automatic. If you want something you can use while still half-asleep, or conversely, while scared shitless, get a good double-action revolver, the more basic, the better. 

Semi-automatic pistols have a “magazine” that you load the bullets into, and the magazine goes up into the butt of the gun where it feeds into the chamber. These tend to be a lot sleeker and the new space-age materials make them lighter and very durable. The thing is, you have to pull back on the top of the thing (the slide) in order to start shooting… which can cost you seconds, especially if you fumble. Once you start shooting, you can keep squeezing until the gun presents you with an empty chamber. You can usually carry more ammo in the magazine than most revolvers, and you can reload by hitting the button to release the spent magazine and then sticking a fresh one in. You sacrifice some ease of use for the smaller size.  Remember it is a “magazine”, not a “clip”… a clip goes onto the top of a really big rifle to feed the ammo directly into the chamber.

If you go for your Concealed Handgun License, you need to qualify on a semi-automatic gun, which most CHL classes will rent to you for that class, that way you can carry either kind of gun after you get your license. In Texas, you have to qualify with a minimum of .32 caliber… period. You can bring your 9 mm, your .40 caliber or anything else you want for the class, but the minimum is .32 caliber.  Once you have your license, you can carry anything you darn well want to… as long as it is concealed.

In Texas, you have to get the CHL in order to carry outside of your property. You can keep a gun in your car at all times, but you can’t take it out of your car unless you are on your property or have the CHL. Having the CHL doesn’t mean that you can carry a firearm just anywhere either… a lot of malls (probably with Yankee owners) forbid carrying on their property, along with a number of government buildings, stadiums and what-not. I won’t bother going to any of these malls.

If you don’t have anyone around to teach you the ways of guns, by all means, take a class! The NRA can refer you. So can your local gun shop. Knowledge is power. Getting yourself past the fear is very empowering.

Now a couple more things:  (1)  You don’t flash your gun unless you are prepared to use it. If someone has broken into your house with you in it, you don’t attempt to make threats. If someone has kicked in your door or window, you shoot first and ask questions later. In Texas we have something called the “Castle Doctrine”… as in “your home is your castle”.  In a lot of instances, simply the presence of a gun has made all the difference in the world, and caused a would-be attacker to flee.

(2)  There is no such thing as “shoot to wound”. You shoot to kill every damn time, and believe it or not, that is a tough thing to accomplish under pressure. You don’t want the criminal coming back with bigger ordinance to use against you, and you don’t want him coming back with a lawsuit, either. Speaking as an ordained minister, go ahead and kill the bugger! He’s going there fast, anyway, so help him get his death-wish. You might as well stop him from continuing on a long string of murders.

Silencers?  Why? Quit watching TV!  The most idiotic thing I ever saw was the title sequence for the old Avengers TV series… shows a silencer on a revolver. I guess that looked tough to the producers, but it showed their ignorance… revolvers are open chamber so the noise comes out of the back. If you shoot, believe me, you want the noise to be noticeable! Noise is your friend! A shot fired into the asphalt of a parking lot does constitute the use of “deadly force” in Texas, but it is more than enough to get someone’s attention if you are stopping an assault.

A word about WD-40:  Only in moderation, and only on revolvers that are easy to clean. WD-40 is basically olive oil, and as such, it turns to goo in fairly short order. When the stuff originally came out, policemen would spray down their guns with this stuff, and discovered that it caused their handguns to misfire in bad way… really embarrassing and dangerous. I inherited a semi-automatic .22 target pistol that had been sprayed down with WD-40… it was so gunked-up that it wouldn’t fire at all. I had to take it to a gunsmith to take apart and use his ultrasonic cleaner on it… $70 to reclaim the use of that gun. Stick to good synthetic machine oils. Talk to your gunsmith.

Gun control:  Means using BOTH HANDS… capice?

SOME FINDINGS:

In finding ammo, I’ve discovered that .32 and .22 are relatively easy to find, even at WalMart.  The .38 and .357 got kind of rare after Obama got sworn in.  9 mm is a lot easier to find across the board. Bear that in mind.

My first handgun purchase was back in 1978… I was 18 and I purchased a North American Arms stainless steel, 5-shot, .22 long rifle derringer, and I carried it either in my pocket or in my purse. We didn’t have the current concealed handgun laws back then. I have two of these now. Great to have on you while doing your walking program. It makes an excellent loud noise, which alone is a deterrent. Not very good past 20 feet, but you wouldn’t want to get hit with a .22 hollow-point, either.

Several manufacturers make a good compact double-action revolver that has the hammer concealed… you just point and squeeze. Smith & Wesson makes a Model 442 Revolver and uses .38 special ammo. Ruger makes the same thing for like $300 less, and theirs is called the LCR.  The idea behind this is so you can throw it in your purse without that hammer thing on the top getting hung up on anything, and you can just keep your hand on your gun in your purse and shoot through your purse if you have to. You just squeeze. I like Ruger… good products and good value.

I personally carry a Kel-Tec P-32 semi-automatic pistol… 9 ounces loaded. The magazine holds 7 bullets, and you can carry with an additional bullet in the chamber so you can just squeeze away without having to cock it. I choose not to because there is no “safety lock” button on the gun. If I have to pull that puppy out, it is going to be intentional.  http://www.kel-tec-cnc.com/  Expect to pay around $350. Taurus makes something similar for about $450.

Something new I discovered:  The Taurus Judge.  It is a small frame 5-shot revolver that can shoot either .45 caliber long bullets or .410 shotgun shells, which makes it a favorite with campers and hikers that come across lots of snakes. Now… a .410 shotgun shell probably won’t kick a lot, given how chunky this particular handgun is. The spread of the pellets in that cartridge ammo would really guarantee enough hits to prove a deterrent to just about any critter, including the two-legged kind. I’m betting the .45 bullets would tend to kick like a mule.   http://www.taurususa.com/  Expect to pay around $500 new, but that depends on the barrel length. The longer the barrel, the better the accuracy and stability.

Now… as for longer weapons… I offer the following link:  http://www.captaindaves.com/guide

Kel-Tec does manufacture a series of semi-automatic rifles in different calibers, and they make these things to be upgraded on a whim. Several models can fold in half. Their SU-22 rifle can carry 26 rounds of .22 caliber long rifle, and will accept magazines for the Atchison M-16 conversion (more ammo). My friends will typically ask you to consider a carbine of some sort. Just bear in mind that you will need training and you will have to carry it… don’t over-do.

If you opt for a shotgun, get one that will hold as many shells as possible. That single-shot may not be enough if it came down to it. The lower the gauge, the bigger the cartridge and the larger the BBs inside the cartridge… and the bigger the kick when fired. Remember that.

Native American Prophesy and World History

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

If you get the chance, take a look at his video regarding Native American prophesy about the times we are in:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7cylfQtkDg  there are several parts, so watch all of them. The elders depicted in these films explain things, both in the historical context and in the prophetic context. They speak about how the United States is basically going to die. They speak about how how out of the top 100 “economic units” in the world, 49 are countries and 51 are corporations. That means that corporations are calling the shots.  Today we are living in a fascist corporatocracy… the merger of corporation and state, with the top criminals in Wall Street taking everything they can, plundering all the world, leaving nothing but waste behind.  Look around.  America is in that unsustainable “age of empire” that has collapsed every other empire we’ve ever seen… including the Roman Empire, British Empire, French Empire and Nazi Germany.  We’re already in two war arenas, and our military isn’t doing well.  The U.S. is billions and billions in the hole, and most of that money is going to special corporate interests. War is a racket, and the racketeers are in charge.  The corporate news media is flogging the upcoming probable war with Iran, which has just been equipped with nuclear power and weapons by the Russians. If we, or Israel, messes with Iran, it is going to be bad.  Other markers for this time period include a very probable staged terror event.

We’ve got a short amount of time to get ourselves situated right.

A few people have looked at me like I was crazy when I told them what was coming up in the next few months. Some in the new age community have told me that you manifest what you focus on. Okay… so I have empowered myself to get my ducks in order so I cannot be blindsided by the coming probable economic melt-down.  I’ve been loading up on storable foods, I yanked my money out of the bank and stock market, I’ve invested in metals… and I started a garden.  With that kind of groundwork done, I have handled my preparations for the future as best I can, and I can focus on manifesting whatever I want from a place of security without the distraction of being worried.  Empower yourself to do what you can to get your house in order to lessen the potential for real hardship as you can.  The last thing you want to do is rely on the government to help you… remember Katrina? How about the BP oil spill?  Nope, you’re on your own if you want to survive and even flourish… and that will take some preparation.

Remember the story about the grasshopper and the ant?  The ant worked hard to prepare for the winter while the grasshopper played all summer and then died when winter set in.  This economic winter is gonna be a bitch. People are going to die. There will be riots. Like Gerald Celente says, “when people have lost everything and they have nothing left to lose, that is when they lose it.”

The government is actively doing its best to destroy America. All the laws that prevented total corporate takeover have been removed… the anti-trust acts, Glass-Steagall, the regulations that kept consumer banks apart from investment banking… all of it has been dismantled. Remember back in the 1970s  and 1980s when we had the big savings and loan scandal and the government had to bail out and then investigate thousands of savings & loans nation wide?  Over 5,000 crooked bankers were sent to prison!  Now the rules are gone, the accounting guidelines have been rewritten, and the people who used to investigate, aren’t investigating.  The big-wigs at Goldman Sachs, AIG, Citibank, and the dozen or so others who crashed the market back in 2007/2008 with their derivatives should really be in prison. 

Remember back in the 1970s… after Nixon took us off the last vestiges of the gold standard, it took 2 years for the inflation to hit. The Federal Reserve printed only 13% more money per year over those 2 years, and it translated to a 12% inflation rate. The Fed did a correction by raising the interest rate to 20% to suck the excess money out of the system. The other big difference… we still had our manufacturing base because we hadn’t shipped our jobs overseas. Most of us did pretty well in spite of the high interest, and personally, I was too young/broke at the time to be noticed by Carter’s tax mafia… or Clinton’s for that matter.

Given that it takes 2 years for inflation to hit after they decide to print lots of money… 2008 was when Bush’s TARP bailouts started, followed by all of Obama’s bailouts… he even sent $300 Billion to bail out Greece!   Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have $5 TRILLION exposure to the mortgage market, so technically the government is the primary landowner. Bush, Obama and the Fed have increased the money supply some 120% and there is now some $105 TRILLION in government debt, and most of it has gone to big-wig criminals that created the very same set of crises to begin with.  That is an ungodly amount of currency.  The inflation will likely be hitting this fall… 2 years after the TARP bailout started the ball rolling. We have no idea how high the inflation rate will be, but given the enormity of the situation, it’s likely to be a booger-bear.

We have been looted and now we are being stuck with the bill. People aren’t gonna stand for that, especially when the few that still have jobs and medical benefits see that their premiums have gone up and the insurance coverage they get from their jobs is being taxed as income.  I predict massive tax protests. I can also predict that a lot of people are going to quit filing tax returns to fund this nonsense. 

The mid-term elections coming up?  Bah!  Even if nothing but Tea Party type candidates win in this election, that still leaves all the lame ducks in control through January… and with nothing to lose, they will do everything they can to further their crooked agenda in those 3 months.

The Weimar Republic collapsed one currency, paying off their war debt in debased currency,  then created a new currency backed by the one thing they had:  land.  They still couldn’t make an economic recovery, since in the treaty of WWI, the forces for appeasement gave away Germany’s breadbasket, the Sudetenland. When the rest of the world was whooping it up during the roaring 20’s, Germany couldn’t feed itself.  It wasn’t long after that when a twerp named Hitler came to power, promising “change”.  Having learned the lessons of history,  German Chancellor Merkel decided not to debase the German economy, but rather to make it possible to actually make money by not doing a bunch of bailouts and “stimulus”… and they’ve now got a nearly 9 percent GROWTH rate as a result.   http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/14/world/europe/14germany.html?_r=2&scp=7&sq=german%20economy&st=cse

If the Fed decided to rein it all in this time, how the heck would they do it?  I don’t think they can and I really don’t think they intend to. They will most likely continue to print all the money they can until the whole house of cards collapses. They will pay the debts with debased currency, then they will restart the economy with a new currency that is backed by something else.  But what?  We won’t be allowed to back our currency with OPEC oil any more. We’ve still got oil & gas, lots of real estate (land), minerals of all sorts… of course Obama’s doing his best to stop all of that from being developed.  Even if they do have a new currency waiting in the wings (Amero, anyone?) it may not be readily accepted.  When they do introduce the new currency, you probably won’t get much in trade for the dollars you’re holding in the bank and stock market now. You might as well beat them to it.

Will a currency changeover be orderly?  I kinda doubt it.  Obama’s criminal wild bunch have already legislated a bunch of currency controls to keep us from being able to access our money.  When the dollar collapses and the hyperinflation hits, there will likely be a protracted “bank holiday”  preventing us from having access to our money, and the money will likely have very little value when you can access it.  Can you imagine spending your whole paycheck for a loaf of bread?  Yeah… that bad.  

Can you and your family live on the food, cash and trading goods you have in your house for say… 3 months?  How about longer?  While you have the chance, start buying food before the prices go up.  The grocery stores have to raise the prices on the new, more expensive inventory as they bring it in to replace the old inventory that is being bought up. Buy that $1 can of beans now… don’t wait unti it is $2.50.  Load up on closeouts.  Make sure you have seasonings to make it taste good.  Stock up on what you would want to eat if you got stuck at home for some weeks. You don’t wanna be stuck in a breadline at a FEMA camp.

THE SECRET TO TIGHT GUMS…

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

I just got the ol’ postcard notice from my dentist. This is the same dentist that George Herbert Walker Bush goes to here in Houston. The guy is a real peach, and tries to be gentle. I don’t have the trepidation at the concept of going to the dentist that I used to. I’ve got a handle on a lot of the underlying problems that were giving me hell so many years ago.

Well… last summer, I finally decided to go to the dentist, after having not gone for three years. The hygienist x-rayed me, checked me over and cleaned my teeth, and remarked at how very little plaque I had, and that my gums were amazingly tight. Their main comment was that I had probably been brushing my teeth a little too hard, most probably because I hadn’t been going to the dentist regularly. The dentist himself confirmed this, looking at my information sheet listing the many vitamin and herb supplements that I take, either with every meal, or as I feel the need. These include a whole vitamin C supplement, B-complex, co-enzyme Q-10, MSM, gelatin/silica supplement, Fo-ti, calcium-magnesium-zinc, omega 3-6-9, vitamin D and E, and beta carotene. If I’m fighting an infection, I know to add selenium, olive leaf extract (in capsules) and oregano oil gelcaps to the pile.

I mentioned that I switched to iced tea in place of soda pop, and I use Stevita stevia sweetener in that iced tea. I also munch on ice after meals to clean the teeth, or at least knock off the big chunks. I also switched to non-waxed dental floss, because the unwaxed variety scrubs between the teeth better, and I usually swish with colloidal silver  (and I swallow it) instead of regular mouthwash. I also use an “organic” toothpaste without fluoride, that uses essential oils to control bacteria in the mouth. Fluoride, I’ll remind you, not only does nothing whatsoever to help your teeth, but makes you acquiescent to all sorts of abuse (probably the main reason why we’re in the current pickle with our government), and shuts down the pineal gland (the source of most of our psychic ability). Most of the sweets I make at home are sweetened with stevia, xylitol and inulin-FOS, and much cleaner ingredients than you will ever see in the grocery stores. On top of all that, my campaign to get the candida out of my body has definitely helped my gums.  All of these differences are very good.

I still needed some serious care at the time… I had one cracked tooth, and a couple of the crappy veneers that the quack dentist put on several years ago (and she cut my gums to do so) were falling off, leaving sharp edges. I needed a crown for that broken tooth, so he took a cast and then installed a temporary crown, then got rid of a couple of amalgam fillings and patched one of the veneers. I got to break the whole bill down into four payments, which helped, though it really took a chunk out of my budget. It kept me from putting any money away for the last four months of 2009 and into 2010, which made paying income taxes a booger-bear.

Listen… my teeth aren’t much to look at. I grew up in an area (South Houston) with a lot of natural fluoride in the water that caused me to have streaky yellow teeth; kind of like horse teeth. That quack dentist on Highway 6 is no longer in that location, and her partner in crime, the endodontist she sent everyone to, is now deaf (she never listened to anyone anyway). The point I’m making is that we have to take care of ourselves the best we can while we are in these fragile bodies. That means questioning the standard medical or dental line and doing our own research. It also means listening to our own bodies. What you do that impacts your dental health, also remarkably impacts the rest of the body in every way, long term.

Earth Medicine

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

In this instance, I am talking about Diatomaceous Earth.

A little background story first… some years ago, I went to a very bad dentist. The woman was ruthless and incompetent at the same time. She screwed around with everything in my mouth, cutting into gums, replacing enamel with crowns and veneers, and did this screwed up bridge over two teeth where two root canals had been done… both on her watch because the endodontist she sent me to did a half-ass job the first time. I relived the Inquisition every time I went there, and I payed her thousands of dollars for the privilege. In the midst of all this, there were antibiotics… several rounds of them. I went from being on the way to losing some weight, to having my gut in complete upheaval because of a systemic candida albicans infection. I wound up with food allergies. I wound up with my period becoming painful and heavy, and taking way too long. I wound up with mostly chronic diarrhea punctuated by occasional days of not having the runs.

I had been “diagnosed” by several holistic doctors as having leaky bowel syndrome… which actually refers to pinprick holes in the intestine walls leaking into the peritoneum… actually a rare occurrence.  After spending thousands of dollars on Chinese herbs and acupuncture, I finally hit upon what was really going on.

I’ve tried a number of things to get the candida under control and out of my system. I did the Hanna Kroeger Candida Formulas I and II, and I supplemented that with Black Walnut capsules… and that did help some… in fact, if my period were really rough, I would hit this stuff and the period would slack off pretty well.

I tried baking soda… as in swallowing several spoonfuls a day, chased by water. Yes, that alkalizes the system, but it couldn’t do it all.

I tried Willard Water… great stuff… but again, it alkalizes the system, but couldn’t do it all. It did give me some comfort and relief. I put the stuff in my cats’ drinking water and it completely healed one cat’s weepy eye that had been scratched by another cat.

At long last, last Friday the 16th, I followed a friend to a nice feed store on Veterans Memorial Drive, and picked up a big 25 lb. bag of food grade diatomaceous earth for $19.50.  That night, I started taking the stuff: one tablespoon in some juice. The stuff is a fine powder that has an astringent smell… you will need something with a reasonably strong taste to get it down.

I’ve been taking one helping in the morning and another at night and I am impressed. Seriously. My food cravings are changing… I want veggies and fruit and nuts like all get-out. My gut is feeling good and my tummy isn’t as poochy. I’ve had NO diarrhea, and what has come out has been really interesting. The stools are large and solid, and it looks like it has scrubbed some oddball stuff out of my body… some kind of fuzzy, wooly stuff.

This morning, Thursday, I noticed that the rosacea on my cheeks was already fading. While it has never been a severe case of the red blotchiness, I don’t like it. It won’t be long before I’ll be down to just using powder foundation without the liquid foundation under it.

Since the basis of diatomaceous earth is silica, I expect my hair to get even better looking. I hope my nails improve as well. 

So what else can I do with this humongous bag of D.E.?  I’ve given several ziplock bags of it to friends to try out. I’ve put a pinch of it into my cats’ food (you really have to bury it in something moist). The stuff can be used to kill bugs… they walk in it and then when they clean themselves, the tiny diatoms are sharp enough to kill the bugs. I have used D.E. in my garden with some success.

By all means, give this stuff a try. At the very least, it won’t hurt you. It’s cheap and it has numerous applications.

Obama Admits He Isn’t an American!

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

When you get the chance, take a little time to watch this video. Obama (Soetoro) as much as admits that he isn’t a born American, and his stupid wife has said so several different times on camera. Why is this posturing, incompetent jerk still in the White House? Having perjured himself over and over, both throughout the campaign and ever since, he should be doing hard time in the federal prison system… and that twit Joe Biden with him!

Listen… these creeps are doing their level best to crash the country, both from within and without. We have an election coming up this November… assuming they haven’t managed to already crash the currency and declare martial law to quell protests and riots. As it is, we’ve got more debt than the combined gross national product of the whole planet, and most of our economy is based on debt.  We’re already looking at an Argentina style hyper-inflation currency melt-down coming to America really soon.  Time to wake up.

We gotta get out there and vote ALL incumbents out of office… except Ron and Rand Paul… and make sure everyone we vote in is a constitutionalist that wants to shrink government to a manageable level, bring the military back home to police our own borders and remove the expanding surveillance state AND getting rid of a private banking cabal called the Federal Reserve.   Gang… look at your candidates carefully… ask them real questions and insist on real answers to find out where they’re coming from. If checking their backgrounds reveals they’ve never held a legitimate job in their lives, you don’t vote for them, and make sure nobody else votes for them.  Make darn sure they plan to get rid of the Federal Reserve. If a candidate gets into office and refuses to do what we put him there to do, he needs to be recalled and removed… fast.  The last mid-term election in 2006 proved a complete betrayal. We gotta get rid of the prostitutes on capitol hill.

Perimenopausal Helpers

Saturday, July 24th, 2010
As above, so below. Lately I’ve been fielding a lot of questions from my customers about how to fix perimenopause/menopause symptoms.  For some time now I’ve been doing battle with perimenopause. In my case, the symptoms have to do with my actual period… super-heavy to the point of filling adult urinary diapers, and very painful at that. I’m not kidding. A lot of women will go to their doctor hoping for help. I can tell you that the average medical response is to do a hysterectomy. My sister did that and the friggin’ doctor ripped EVERYTHING out… didn’t even leave her an ovary!  Okay… if it is fibroids, yes they can make things more difficult, but the fibroids leave when your uterine lining thins out for menopause. Same thing about endometriosis.
If you want to get rid of the fibroids… get the Essiac Tea. Herbal Healer Academy http://www.herbalhealer.com  sells the tea in bulk, liquid concentrate and capsules. It will take a long time, but it will work. A friend of mine with really big fibroids took this route… it took about two years to get them to totally go away drinking this tea twice a day. It works. The tea is also good for combatting just about any infection! If you feel a cold coming on, get into the Essiac!
The herb Sarsaparilla to replace progesterone… perhaps up to 3 capsules with each meal.
Another herb, called Dong Quai, is also called “women’s ginseng”. I’m trying this one out now. It is known to balance hormonal levels at all stages of life, eliminating PMS, perimenopause and menopausal symptoms, while providing benefits for overall health.
 
Another herb, Fo-Ti, is a youth herb… and you will need 3 capsules with each meal… really helps your energy level. I won’t do without this one. It is a youth herb… look up the history. If you take this plus two of the Swanson Vitamins Gelatin & Silicon supplement with each meal, your hair will come in thicker and darker, with a lot less gray. No kidding.
Since most of the weight gain, sleep disruption and stress during the shift into menopause stresses the adrenals, you need adrenal support. A simple solution is Red Clover, either in capsules or in tea form, or Ashwagandha, which additionally aids in weight loss.
 
Yet another FOOD herb called Maca boosts and optimizes the entire endocrine system, and most people feel it first in the sex drive. It isn’t an herb so much as a FOOD. You will take several tablespoons of this each day. Check around for it in loose form… you’ll go nuts trying to take that many capsules. Try making a smoothie with bananas and throwing the Maca in it each morning. You’ll know when to back off when you start looking at doorknobs and other odd objects in regard for their sexual gratification potential… I’m not kidding. 
 
The supplements Pregnenolone and DHEA, which are precursors to the progesterone, estrogen and testosterone. I know ladies in their 70s that take up to 100 mg of the pregnenolone daily, just to feel normal and have decent energy. If you are 50, you can handle up to 50 mg of Pregnenolone and up to 25 mg of DHEA.   My last period was super bad, and I had some of this in the house. I started taking them, the sarsaparilla and using the progesterone cream/spray, and it arrested the hemmoraging in ONE DAY!  You have to feel the body on this one… it can aggravate PMS symptoms short-term. I downsized the DHEA to 20 mg.
 
There are various progesterone creams and a progesterone spray on the Swanson Vitamins website. You just rub it somewhere on your body… and rotate the various spots you apply it to. One time you rub it on your tummy, another on your thighs, another on the inside of your arms…  No prescription required.
 
I get all of this very inexpensively on http://www.swansonvitamins.com  even with the darn shipping.
 
Another thing… stay away from all SOY, including TVP (textured vegetable protein).  No kidding. Soybean oil prevents your body from absorbing nutrition from your food… really blocks it.  Soy in general will mess up every hormone you ever had, beginning with the thyroid hormones, and then everything else. It is an endocrine disruptor.
 
If you think your thyroid is running low, taken a bunch of Kelp tablets for the iodine. Swanson has some good iodine drops, too. You can tell whether your thyroid is working right… stand in front of a mirror with your arms hanging at rest at your sides… if your hands are not palms to your legs… it they slant so the palms are not parallel with your body… your thyroid is outta whack. You need the iodine.

Predictions Regarding ObamaCare

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Gang… first of all, hit this site and sign the petition: http://www.grassfire.com/130/petition.asp?ref_id=500064

and this one:  http://www.grassrootsaction.com/220/petition.asp?Ref_ID=3302&RID=21563424

I did predict that there were going to be some lawsuits being filed in the courts to overturn ObamaCare as unconstitutional… and there are already.  Here is an article on that: http://www.personalliberty.com/news/states-say-healthcare-bill-is-unconstitutional-will-sue-federal-government-19685333/   Turns out Texas already has one in the works.   Also, in the past couple of days, there have been instances of vandalism against campaign offices and numerous threats via e-mail, regular mail and voice mail, along with a deluge of phone calls pouring into the offices of Representatives and Senators. I don’t know if this is authentic or staged to justify further erosion of our civil liberties.  When the taxes and fines start hitting, people will really be up in arms.

No matter what, I predict there will be a landslide against the Democrats in the mid-term elections. I just hope that we can stop the dysfunctional pendulum swing back to the Republicans, because they aren’t a solution… we need third parties that are interested in going back to Constitutional law. We need people who run for office to be dedicated to shrinking government and its grasping. We need strict term limits and a new law put in place that removes the country club medical plan and retirement plans the Representatives and Senators now enjoy… after all, they are only part-time employees. If they can’t live with what they’ve legislated for the rest of us, they need to fix the system for all of us!

If, for some reason, ObamaCare is not overturned, I can make some very realistic predictions:

A lot of doctors will either quit the doctoring biz altogether, or will close their formal practices and then go into private, by referral, cash-only practices off the books. I’m betting on a lot of doctors moving their practices across the border to Mexico, then commuting back and forth across the border from home to their practices. I wouldn’t blame them, either.  Imagine having to make a trip to Mexico to get your basic yearly physical and some lab work done.

We will see a huge drop off in the numbers of people going through medical school. Who would want to go a quarter-million + dollars into debt for a degree that will, by legislation, won’t allow you to pay your own bills?  I mean, really, paying the student loans, plus malpractice insurance, plus the costs of maintaining a practice… it all adds up. The whole point to becoming a doctor, if you aren’t motivated by serving humanity by healing people, is to make money.

I can also predict that a lot of smaller employers are going to go to hiring most of their employees as contractors because of the massive taxes this ObamaCare scheme will levy on employers… in other words, very few people will have real jobs with benefits.

ObamaCare, since it will take the money directly out of your bank account without your permission, will also result in a lot of people getting out of banking… no savings or checking accounts to be plundered.  If anything, most will keep a token amount of money in a passbook account so they can cash their paychecks.  As a result, more people will also be hiding their income, and we will become increasingly a cash-and-carry society. A lot of people will probably be leaning more toward bartering.

Alternative currency is already coming into play:   Idaho is minting their own silver round and accepting it as currency and S. Carolina is trying to ban federal currency altogether. At least the Idaho thing isn’t banning the dollar, and it certainly would help the mining industry in that state to provide jobs. http://www.salon.com/technology/how_the_world_works/2010/03/15/idaho_silver/index.html

If you thought the IRS was already bad, wait until they start trying to enforce new and more draconian taxes.  The IRS doesn’t have to play by the rules as other law enforcement; they can drag you in and force you to prove your innocence.  ObamaCare is going to be a tax on everyone, not just those earning over $200,000 a year… and under hyper-inflation, that amount is not going to amount to much. If you’re already having a tough time making ends meet, wait until this stuff gets put into action.

ObamaCare will force a lot of companies to force their retirees off of their good insurance and into Medicare, mainly to begin accruing monies to pay out in the stiff taxes they are staring at. People who opt to keep their company health insurance will find that it will be taxed as if it were income… yes, that is a fine for keeping your corporate insurance.

I am also predicting massive tax protests on all levels. No-Eyes, the Native American prophet, predicted this one… and that it may result in blood running in the streets. Obama and his fascist bunch are picking up and running with Bush’s neocon internment camps and will likely use any excuse to round people up and lock them away. Yes, I’m predicting civil unrest.

I predict that a lot of people are going to become more educated on maintaining their own health and will seek out natural health care… naturopaths and homeopaths. We will be returning to the days of the “root doctor” and “kitchen witch” for primary health care. You might want to go ahead and hit the bookstores for some books on herbal medicine, and perhaps start stocking up on some common herbal curatives.

I am also predicting massive, runaway inflation very similar to what Argentina went through. We’re already seeing it. We’ve been seeing the manufacturing jobs getting oursourced for years, thanks to Clinton and Bush signing NAFTA and CAFTA into law.

I can also predict more people turning every square foot of their yards into family farm plots to supplement their diets, and preserving the excess for the long term. Food is going to get really, really expensive.  Actually, it already is. Start buying seeds and putting in some raised garden beds filled with rich soil. If you haven’t started already, you need to be storing food Mormon-style. Buy some foods in bulk and store it in airtight containers.  I’m not kidding. If civil unrest keeps truckers from delivering food to the stores, or if the military decides to cordon off entire areas, or if things get to the point where you will have to “shelter in place”, or if inflation gets to the point where you need a barrel of cash to buy a loaf of bread, you will need to live on your stored foods for a while.   I’m already seeing some disturbing trends in the local stores… even WalMart is carrying less variety and isn’t keeping up with stocking. You might also want to consider some other items, like a rocket-stove so you can cook your meals using just a few twigs.  http://rocketstoves.org/

Another thing… ammo. If you run low on Spam, that squirrel in your yard is gonna look mighty tasty. The local duck ponds are going to be missing some stock, too. Personally, I’m leaning more towards keeping “cuy” (guinea pigs) like they do in Peru… not as prone to parasites.

Okay… so am I predicting the apocalypse? Actually, I’m just trying to cover the bases. Things might continue to grind along as they have been, but I’m allowing for some craziness.

Quit Using Google

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Gang… you know we’re in a police state, don’t you?  

The Google and Yahoo search engines are part of the new world order surveillance system.  Every time you use a regular search engine, your search data are recorded… every time. Your search terms, the time of your visit, the links you choose, your IP address and your User ID cookies all get stored in a database. The identity profiles that can be constructed from this cloud of information represent modern day gold for marketers.  But government officials, hackers and even criminals also have an interest in getting their hands on your personal search data.

In August 2006, AOL released three months’ worth of aggregated search data from 650,000 of its users, publishing all the details in an online database. This database is still searchable. It is an absolute eye-opener to see the potential for privacy nightmares.

Google recently took down Alex Jones’ “Obama Deception” video, both as a search engine term and as a YouTube video, informing Jones that showing Obama in a bad light isn’t allowed. They also took down some 5,000 blogs.  They are now in the business of censoring users and content. Blogsites are the last bastion of non-controlled news and opinion. The world wide web is now the front lines of the propaganda war.  Those scummy, murderous, spying control freaks that are trashing our country and our world. We must stand up to this evil.

I am asking you to use StartPage instead. http://www.startpage.com  doesn’t collect this data and maintains your privacy.

Native American Tobacco Ceremony

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

I have a wide number of applications for a special type of prayer called “Tobacco Ceremony.” The divine messenger, White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman, brought the “Tobacco Ceremony” to us some 500 years ago. I will typically use this ceremony when clearing haunting activity.

With this prayer ceremony, I found that I can anchor light anywhere, block-in or block-out any form of energy or entity, and “clear” an area of unwanted influences. For example, I felt the energies were “off” at one psychic fair I was at. I went outside and quietly walked around the building, doing the ceremony, giving thanks and asking that anyone, energy or entity be excluded from the building if it is not “working for the Light” or if it is not there for the betterment of all. Ten minutes afterwards, two of the “psychics” quickly packed up and left. I had never thought about them, either. Interesting, huh? I know a “channeler” that can’t do readings in an area I’ve done ceremony on. What does that say about what was being channeled?

You don’t need to smoke or use a special pipe. What I do is offer a pinch of the dry herbs in each direction. You may also choose to burn the herbs on a charcoal to offer the smoke. I carry a pouch filled with a generic mixture of tobacco, sage, cedar and sweetgrass, which is symbolic of the four directions. Other tribes use other herbs.

Let’s do it, shall we? Place yourself in a state of grace. Begin with an open prayer/invocation, and then start by facing EAST (or what you perceive as east), which is the start of the Medicine Wheel, holding a nice little handful of your herbs. Raise your hand offering the herbs, and begin by addressing the “Grandparents of the East”. The “Grandparents” referred to in this ceremony, includes ancestors, ascended masters, angels and the spiritual hierarchy of the planet. Give thanks to the Grandparents for all of their assistance, offer your handful of herbs and ask them for their assistance once again (insert request here), thank them in advance for their help and drop a pinch of the herbs in their direction. Do this exactly the same way facing SOUTH addressing the “Grandparents of the South”, then WEST, then NORTH. Then kneel to address the EARTH MOTHER beneath your feet, making sure to thank her for feeding you and giving you a place to live, and offer the herbs and your special request and thanks. Then stand again and talk to SKY FATHER (God, Creator, Wakan-Tanka, etc.) offering herbs, thanks, your request, and thanks in advance for this assistance, and dropping some dry herbs. Any breeze will carry the herbs to where they need to go. It is done. Give thanks. Whatever you asked for is on its way if your intent was correct and pure. This is the short form. White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman’s version is considerably more involved.

If you are a smoker, you can do this ceremony very casually and even surreptitiously. Light up a fresh cigarette, face east, offer the smoke from your hand as you pray, then take a deep draught and mentally exhale the prayers as you blow the smoke carrying your prayers up to the Grandparents of each direction as described above. Works just fine. It’s the intent that matters.

I will remind you of the importance of Universal Law when doing “ceremony”. Prayer, especially a focused prayer like this, is a powerful form of thought/energy transmission. You will get back that energy multiplied in accordance with your intent in putting the energy out to begin with. Some people say it is multiplied three times, but in truth there is no ceiling on the multiplication aspect. So, for example, if you pray for advancement on your job, ask that it be done in harmony and for the best and highest good of all concerned… not just yourself. I know one lady that did ceremony to get a promotion, and got it, but because it was not done in a harmonious way, she was fired a month later. You can do ceremony to attract a new love to your life, by putting your “spec sheet” out in this prayer ceremony, but you cannot manipluate any person in particular as that will backlash on you. You get the idea.
