Structured Diet for Strategic, effective weight loss - with tech comment

Subject: diet and antioxidants

Introduction:

With or without exercise, it is relatively easy to loose weight on this structured diet using a sequencing from liquids into food groups, the food and strategy which provides better nutrition, kills candida albicans – a yeast related, opportunistic and competing organism - and promotes thermogenics. Thermogenics is metabolic increase using foods that lead to burning body fat (and/or where the food itself needs more energy to burn than the calories the food gives back to the body).

One will find this diet effective for youthful vigor, weight lose -if one wishes to use it for that purpose as the diet is a modified Fit-for-Life with Atkins. Atkins has little fruit and virtually no carbs, while "fit-for-life" suggests fruit AT BREAKFAST ONLY, but prohibits the inclusion at the same meal of proteins with carbohydrates, and prohibits eating after 7pm. Blood flow to the brain is better when one avoids eating proteins and carbohydrates at the same meal.

Again avoid all YEAST, including that in beer. Atkins book has an entire chapter on yeast and its impact on the body, mind and emotions. Stumbling on both his insights and mine may be liberating for the user of this diet and/or supplements.

Candida Albicans and its pathology
The yeast family organism by the name of candida albicans causes many health problems passed off as other problems. Candida Albicans, or “c Albicans” are a bane of the civilized world and contemporary life. While depriving and killing the candida albicans and perhaps parasites and other negative bacteria, the point of this structured food strategy using superior quality calories is optimal nutrition for one’s body and soul, and sense of well being.

Poor diet with insufficient amounts of non anti-biotic polluted red meat and/or B-12, excessive amounts of beer and alcohol, and insufficient exercise, sleep, sunshine promote candida proliferation. Candida cause cravings for, and the desire to ‘taste “Comfort food” such as bread/yeast, dairy, sweets, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and some of their chemical blow back signs are depression, PMS and cramps, phlegm, slow colon, sinus headaches and migraines (although regular migraines and bi-polar are from a parasite which has positioned itself on the hypothalamus and imparted its own chemical interference w/one’s brain chemistry).

Candida usually are the physiological root of cravings (as well as perhaps feeling fatigued, sleepy, depressed, depression, irritable and habits such as eating for 'comfort' or eating when depressed or nervous, lack of concentration/mental focus, cigarette smoking, craving for alcohol. When detoxing, sometimes I’ve gotten that skin-crawling-listlessness and occasional nausea which passes after a few hours, but is quite annoying while enduring it.

Candida albicans are ‘opportunistic’, which means they plume when the body’s run-down condition permits their proliferation. These organisms are negative and dysfunctional in the body, and will reduce one's vitality when simultaneously competing for proper nutrition against the beneficial bacteria in our bodies. The candida generally will proliferate over the good bacteria in one’s digestive tracts, UNLESS one takes proper nutrition and life style steps, as well as a separate supplement first thing in the morning and before meals, such as a lacto bacillus supplement. Lacto bacilius “LB” products such as All Flora (use if possible one without soy) , and Primadophilus bifidum, are effective. LB are important organisms although from foods such as yogurt, beets, carrots, radicchio one can find natural lacto bacillus.

Candida are related to other spores such as molds, mushrooms, etc. THESE ORGANISMS WHILE DYING OFF will produce cramps and gas and WILL AND DO HAVE THEIR OWN CRAVINGS, WHERE THE ORGANISMS WILL IMPART ‘HUNGER’ FOR THAT WHICH THEY ARE HUNGRY – COMFORT FOOD (any of the above that has ingredients such as sugar that usually help proliferate their lifecycle) – THEY WILL IMPART THAT HUNGER CHEMISTRY TO THE ‘HOSTS’ BRAIN, LUNGS, AS WELL AS IMPART THEIR PATHOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY TO OUR MINDS (AS THE ORGANISMS' DEATH CHEMISTRY exists, AND IMPARTS TO US) THAT 'FEELS' DEPRESSED*, REJECTED, DEJECTED, WORTHLESS, NEGATIVE, EMOTIONALLY VULNERABLE.

Other Physiological blow back from yeast
Remember yeast is a living organism and spore. Yeast gunks up the liver with its own root system, causing the liver to render dirtier, thicker blood, while causing body odor and the other candida problems, etc. Eliminating yeast or sugar in the diet, generally eliminates body and scalp odor and the 'garlic on the breath' after used as a liver cleanse or cold remedy won't be so bad, but several cloves of chopped garlic in kefir (home made is best) and taken at night or first thing on an empty stomach is good for the liver and to get rid of colds.

On Children, Babies and their taste buds/desire for ‘sweets’ picky eating and colic:
If you ate sweets and indulged your Candida while you were pregnant, your children usually will be born with Candida Albicans. You can remedy this with cleaning up your diet while breast feeding although babies will be sensitive to the garlic and other quality anti-oxidant Candida killing qualities in your diet. This will cause them some gas until their Candida are killed. I am not certain if this takes a day, a week or a month, however avoid giving them formula from milk with the dairy anti-biotics especially if you are avoiding this yourself, avoid using soy based formulas as well as BigPharma formulas in general. If you are getting proper nutrition and vits/anti-oxidants, that will pass into breast milk. While they are growing, avoid foods with white refined sugar, sodas and other ‘juices’. Clean water and clean milk from non-antibiotic polluted livestock will be the better beverages for them with limited amounts of quality pure, non sweetened, juices not from concentrates. And if they’ve been given vaccines, make certain they get sufficient B vitamins, using baby vitamins that one can find at the better health food stores.

Diet suggestions and tips
THERE IS virtually NO PROCESSED FOOD ON THIS STRATEGY by going to a diet that is: yeast free, processed food free, white sugar -free, white refined flour free strategy, ie eliminating all foods with yeast, and all processed foods. There are Non Yeast breads sold at the better health food stores found in their freezer cases. One needs to read ingredients as yeast is found in saltines, most crackers and virtually all pretzels, so low fat or low sugar isn't always the issue, it's also a yeast issue and what feeds the yeast spores for reasons I explain.

There is no bread, or other yeast products, white sugar, or things made with white or brown sugar, or in general processed food, except matzo or similar cracker such as Ryevita. Further, eliminating virtually all white refined flour and white refined sugar mitigates cholesterol build-up and plaque in the circulatory system. White refined flour is bleached and bromated - this and white refined sugar gunk up the liver, and reduce efficiency in proper fat digestion and cholesterol 'development'/use.

As a result - use breads without yeast, sometimes, although even some slow rise and natural rise are with yeast, however, ask - known as 'slow rise' or 'natural sour' found in the better health food and sometimes better supper markets.. I would not recommend this and I have suffered when taking the risk on bakery 'slow rise' or natural sour bread except for ‘French Meadows’ brand found in freezer cases of the better, larger health food stores.

This Diet recommends grass-fed dairy and meat livestock, while avoiding feed lot cattle (most red meat and pork at this point unless labeling states other wise) processed meats, etc, hot dogs, sausages, and meat w/livestock medicines such as anti-biotics or growth hormones and processed/artificial smoked fish, farmed fish and all artificially smoked meat including ham. Avoid ‘pulled’ beef and pork, both which have vinegar.

The Diet recommends fresh fruits/vegs/ kefir, and eggs, and perhaps some occasional whole grains such as buckwheat or river rice, but NOWHERE NEAR THE CARBS AND/OR YEAST CURRENTLY FOUND IN MOST DIETS.

On Cholesterol
This diet has virtually no white refined sugar or white refined flour both which gunk up the liver and foul with clean cholesterol production that the body needs for itself for nervous system and proper brain nerve/chemistry function. Without what the body produces for itself that is clean, the body will ‘electrocute’ itself. The nerves in the muscles and brain need the proper cholesterol and clean fats (omega 3,6,9, vit e, unsaturated fats), so small amount of clean cholesterol one ingests via eggs and milk given the other foods on this diet mitigate bad cholesterol buildup. There are no triglycerides in any food on this diet, unless one eats processed food. The diet includes many fresh fruit and vegetables - grapefruit, fat burners, grass fed livestock while avoiding feed lot, hormone fed, dairy and livestock, including other items for metabolic increase and cruciferous vegetables all which counter any negative effects of clean cholesterol in the diet. REMEMBER this diet avoids all processed food, and triglycerides are found in THAT. Chicken and Eggs from poultry raised without anti-biotics or other pharma used on poultry on this diet are ok and perhaps the clean milk, which naturally have 'cholesterol'.

Avoid food cooked in or cooking in metal pots, pans - unless enamel or ceramic lined. Cook in oven/stove Pyrex or ceramic, or enamel lined cookware - Martha Stewart, corning, Pyrex, a French brand for enamel lined all are very good. AVOID ALUMINUM FOIL OR ALUMINUM OF ANY SORT NONE, NOT EVEN FAST FOOD CONTAINERS.... ASK FOR THE PLASTIC or paper take-out containers on this structured eating plan.

Avoid sweets and products of white sugar, processed food, yeast/bread, items with baking power especially those with include aluminum or phosphates**, SWITCH TO limited amounts of BAKING SODA AND IF POSSIBLE, substitute YOGHURT OR MOLASSES FOR THE ACID TO ACTIVATE THE SODA. I’ve done a great deal of baking however and actually one can avoid any leavening agents except cream of tarter or eggs and egg whites, unless the recipe doesn’t call for eggs. Most cookies and baked goods however call for leavening which can be eliminated from the recipe with very little negative impact and taste difference.

** Note on phosphorus, phosphates and oxalic acid foods which foul the circulatory system and kidneys. AVOID concentrations of these which one finds in baking powder, oats, fonio (an African grain), peanuts, cheese, poultry, colas but all man and naturally carbonated beverages are bad for oxygen flow in the muscles, spinach, coffee, chocolate, ‘black’ and ‘green’ tea. The candida love certain chemicals and the swelling is their allergic reaction. I also get this reaction from nitrates and nitrates in most smoked foods, smoked fish but not from naturally salty foods such as celery. I also suggest higher use of dandelion tea, dandelion herbal capsules, and dandelion greens which are effective in mitigating phosphorus concentrations.

This diet will generally fix circulation problems and high blood pressure, with the use of the l-carnitine to deal with fat buildup in the body, perhaps blood vessels. Generally, the diet will also eliminate fluid retention if one avoids the high phosphorous, high phosphate, and refined foods/refined sugars, vinegars, and avoids yeast/bread products generally avoiding what flares the candida albicans, when aggravated will produce fluid retention and stiffness in the joints due to the fluid retention.

Use some sea salt and/or ‘fish’ sauce, an Asian condiment found in Asian food stores. Avoid sodas-carbonated beverages, or coffee/tea as these will impair the proper function of the kidneys. Sometimes I chew bitter cola one can buy sometimes at West African stores but a ginseng supplement is also ok. Switch to Yerba Mate, a South American beverage found in many of the Latin and South American bodegas in New York.

Boil all milk although most people can handle any negative bacteria in organic dairy and dairy such as Farmland and Welch Farms. Boil Dairy in ceramic, Pyrex, Corningware or enamel lined stainless steel or enamel lined cast iron. Boil or cook all dairy before eating accept yogurt -plain is best, which actually should be home made... switch to Farmland or any other that says it does not use the PbST or the rBST hormone in the milk, or organic. Typically if farmers are avoiding using stimulant hormones, they also will avoid using dairy pharma/anti-biotics. The dairy anti-biotics cause serious problems such as disruption in the gut chemistry, skin lesions from their impact on the physiology as well as the eventual candida and parasitic build up in the digestive tract that will cause skin lesions and other deleterious conditions in the body, scalp/skin

To make ones own kefir (drinkable yoghurt): boil (to kill the bacteria - and if it's Farmland - watch it, however it shouldn’t boil over unless it's been cut with water) half gallon milk (better names such as Farmland, Parmalat Organic and this already has the bacteria killed, Welch Farms neither have the Pbst or rBst Hormone, or organic) in an enamel lined pot or boil in ceramic bowl in oven. Let cool to room temperature but leave in warm place like oven cooled down or on a pilot, unless already have a previous mixture and one is replenishing, then open 4 lacto bacillus capsules into cooled mixture and stir in and let sit overnight to 'yog'.... It will thicken and will get even thicker when cold. Have this with fruit, alone before in the mornings with the capsules, with other gut cleanse products when mixed with filtered water... or at night with chopped garlic or for tzatziki... It is a loose yogurt and can be used in place of butter milk, kefir! (or replace (clabbered) milk /use baking soda in baked goods and back with either milled dried cane juice, but no white refined sugar, and perhaps turbanado, molasses, honey, maple syrup, rice syrup, corn syrup - but this isn't the best thing to use as corn virtually always now is Genetically modified.

Condiments, Vinegar, and Legumes
While beginning and on this diet, one is killing the candida and other bad bacteria which actually cause the cravings (and one must eliminate the use of ) for sweet, vinegar, soy sauce, alcohol, etc as candida dwells in one's body, ears, nasal cavities, nose, mouth, brain (for cigarette smoke, which has sugar in the tobacco, and the brain craves it and the nicotine), so these negative organisms in their life cycle will die anyway, and as a result their life cycle crave sweets and other things that promotes their living.

This Diet also eliminates all SOY which is a legume on which the candida feed. I suggest also avoiding GMO foods such as non-organic corn, soybeans; virtually all corn and soybean product are from GMO. Soy is not native to the 'western' diet. Moreover, given its amino acid profile, as a protein Soy is inferior to fish or meat from grass fed livestock, and or organic poultry, however, if one eats those grains and legumes, go organic.

Avoid vinegar in general as the candida thrive on it. Vinegar gives me three or more days of fluid retention, and gurgling gut. One finds vinegar in most condiments. So avoid those and make your own mayonnaise and mustard. There are recipes for these and one can substitute lemon juice for vinegar. One will find Vinegar in virtually all ricotta and cottage cheeses, and of course in many cured and pickled foods, olives and yes without question virtually all bottled salad dressings. As a general diet clean-up, the diet avoids use of commercial mayonnaise (unless home made with lemon juice and olive oil), soy sauce, vinegar, mustard, catsup. And if you use them, you may have a swelling, fluid retention reaction.

The candida in the mouth are craving to taste sweet. If necessary, occasional use of something like a cough-drop – I used Riccola or Duane Reade Menthol, however feeding candida sweets promotes their continued aggravation in the body. So deny the spores their lust to proliferate their lifestyle at your expense, and bless yourself in the process. The more powerful and greater proliferation of their chemistry and pathology of these negative organisms in the body, mouth, tissues such as digestive tract, that chemistry's signal in our minds and mouths is to crave, feel sleepy, grouchy, PMS, depression, ... a number of different manifestations at different times...while the candida want to live and steal nutrition from the beneficial organisms and our bodies' needs.

Sequential eating
At a meal first have hot beverages such as herb tea or soups and then something like tomato juice. Then have the vegetables and/or fruit GENERALLY AT BREAKFAST ONLY, but after any capsule supplements that one takes. The new info on the capsules is that when from commercial cow bone gelatin, these have pollutants and MSG in them, optional - break open the capsules and put into kefir or vegetable juice before the meal.

After eating the fruit at breakfast, then vegetables, celery or cabbage, etc one would eat their carbohydrates or proteins. At breakfast last - eat hard boiled eggs (organic or Eggland's best, another quality name), as there is nothing in this diet to promote problems with the cholesterol in the eggs, one can eat as many eggs as one wants, although one should increase the use of garlic in the diet to cleanse the liver... All root vegetables used are organic if from the US ... where the most pesticides and polluting fertilizers are used. Avoid produce from Texas, where I'd heard there farms use human effluent for fertilizer. Human effluent, ie, human sewage is very polluted.\

Avoid eating carbohydrates and proteins at the same meal: proteins and carbohydrates, such as pasta or potatoes are not had at the same meal. Eat meat or proteins with vegetables and eat starches with vegetables.

OK: spices and herbs, fresh ground pepper, sea salt, are all fine, even 'fish sauce', olive and safflower, and perhaps canola oil are OK
OK Carbohydrates eaten occasionally and sequenced after vegetables: buckwheat, organic polenta or cracked corn, other whole grains such as millet, river rice, brown rice.

Avoid margarine. Use organic butter if possible, or butter from cows not fed the growth/milk production hormone which is hard to find and unless labeled that the farmers avoid the use of Pbst and rBST stimulant hormones – is hard to find. I generally only use (sweet) butter when I bake, and only occasionally when I cook ( also generally avoiding anything from cans, although I will eat canned WILD salmon that is very recent - you can tell by the date on the can the farther away the expiration date, the fresher the salmon).

Use grass fed meat, organic poultry or game and fowl that are known to be ok Murrays, Bell & Evans, buffalo, goat meat

Breakfast. It is better for the metabolism to have a decent morning meal. Start with hot Yerba mate beverage (or Wisdom of the Ancients 'tea' bags/boiled water) first, then fresh fruit - Green apples -peeled/cored unless organic but wash with soap and water and dry the surface of all fruit whether or not one is paring the fruit, citrus. And/or other fruit... option to include but not necessary although one will feel less hungry for longer and eggs are thermogenic: Hard boiled eggs, organic is best; OR oat meal, or hot cereal or grits that are unrefined with no white sugar or brown sugar.

Lunch: perhaps fruit first but rather veg juice before then steamed or raw, well washed with a vegetable wash to eliminate the pesticides unless organic (then washed anyway) fresh vegetables, either more clean protein such as plain yogurt of roasted goat or another sort of grass fed organic meat or - but not at the same meal if a pasta, brown rice, or another whole grained boiled/steamed like rice. Perhaps a baked potato not baked in foil AVOID ALUMINUM FOIL. AVOID STAINLESS STEEL AND ALUMINUM POTS AND PANS. PREFER ENAMEL LINED, OR CERAMIC.

Dinner: - perhaps veg juice before, then raw, steamed or sautéed vegetables, and clean protein or another complex carbohydrate. Nuts from the shell or raw nuts from the bulk bins are fine. Avoid salty, roasted, dry roasted... from the can or jar. Nuts and seeds between meals is ok although if dealing with phosphorus buildups, balance with dandelion greens and dandelion tea.

Other product tips, suggestions
Switch to glycerin soap or tea-tree oil and/or Grandpas pine tar soap when you can for face/scalp, and avoid detergents on your skin, etc. I also have begun to use Ivory Soap which is actually very effective to kill bacteria without additives and Kirks coconut-soap, or olive oil soap. Ammonia will cut the film on the bathtub and sink surfaces.

Herbal/superfoods
A special supplement for enzymes is key to improve the digestive process to extract complete nutrition in the food where the enzymes promote improved bio-availability for the body, head ... Go with the Vits first, and if purchased all at one time, the entire group can run between $400-$500.

1. Parazyme made by Renew Life, which makes the anti-parasitic I use for Digestive enzymes. Any good anti parasitic as above, Paragone, Parasitin, and any other good herbal anti parasitic will kill candida albicans, although there are also supplements to kill candida albicans. Parasites thrive in a chemistry of contamination...I have suffered from parasites at least Twice - a ruptured appendix (appendicitis is caused by a microscopic parasite behind the appendix), and at another point I passed an enteric parasite. So a diet low in processed foods, most hormone/antibiotic laced commercial dairy with is teaming with shigella and ecoli (organic is a little better), sweets, but high in garlic, onions, cruciferous vegetables diminish parasite aggravation
2. Nutribiotic - grapefruit seed extract +other astringent herbals and Parazyme by Renew life
3. Cloves and

4. Wormwood extract – both made by Q-W & Company
5. Sonnes' No7 treatment - it's a liquid that helps keep down negative bacteria in the lower digestive tract and very effective if interested on detox efforts and when fighting candida albicans. Very effective although I don’t use every day as others may and do. I use Sonne’s 7 occasionally when I am having blowback from ecoli/shigella. Another capsule known as “Perfect 7” also includes montmorilinite as well as lacto-bacilius.
6. Cleanse Smart by Renew Life, any other gut scrape/gut cleanse product such as the
Sonnes products used sparingly unless on an aggressive gut cleanse program
7. CoEnzyme Q10 at least 100 mcg daily. 300mg-400mg +
8. Vit C 4000 mgs to 10,000 mgs daily will kill decay in the teeth and roots as well as avoiding the commercial toothpastes with fluoride. Switch to the natural nonfluoride.
9. OPC- pycnogenol 100mgs or Pynogenol Complex, an excellent supplement but I am very sensitive to the green tea extract in it.... however, I am sensitive to the green tea extract in anything, so I generally avoid all supplements with green tea and anything with additional phosphate bonded elements such as calcium which is used to add ‘calcium’ unnecessarily while attempting to keep the anti-oxidant ingredients in the body for longer so the green tea acts to slow the function of the kidneys. One should take the tablet supplements after food and be certain to take enzymes to promote optimal digestive function to extract optimal nutrition from the supplements for the body's and brain's use.
10. OPC -Grape Seed Extract 100mgs, or bilberry
11. Vit E - at least 400mgs daily at least unless very active, on a low fat diet and on fat burners such as L-Carnitine, then use 800mgc to 1200mgs. Carleson’s has some great E and other Fat soluable products.
12. Super Lysine Plus (this is the name of the product) made by Quantum\ except for the Tricalcium phosphate in this, which I find a problem
13. Use very good multivitamins such as SuperNutrition Brand
14. Vit C 5000mgs-10,000mgs Rainbow Light brand
15. Vit B complex Solgar Megasorb
16. Germanium Sequioxide
17. Oil of evening primrose, is better than borage or flax seed which aren’t bad
18. fish oil capsules – Solgar’s or Krill or Nordic Naturals Complete Omega 3-6-9
19. Green drink/tablets of spirulina and chlorella - Green Energy by Super Nutrition. or Earthrise Spirulina Greens blend Or E3AFA is another good green product
20. lacto bacilius supplement often found in the refrigeration case or on the shelf in PB8 or Kyodophilus or All Flora or Country Life’s Daily Dophilus without the soy. Excellent reasonably priced product
21. royal bee jelly and bee pollen. YS and Burts are very good
22. fat burner such as l- carnitine a safe supplement, although you will need to take extra Vit E which is the nerve cushion/fat soluble vitamin... if on fat burners and low fat diet, will need more Vit E to protect the nerves and prevent 'self electrocution' when the nerves emit electro chemicals in order to make the muscles function and if that process is impaired by 'free radical' build up and nerve cushion problems from insufficient E, then in the tissues that remains and muscles are further polluted with more body and environmental pollution.
23. a good garlic supplement - Garlicin and any of the others are fine or a garlic w/selenium supplement
23 a) Kyolic “108” and “106”. Very good garlic supplement
any good ginseng supplement and other thermo genic supplements such as cayenne, etc
24. Colostrum and permutations of colostrum

25. Cayenne - any good name... to kill negative bacteria in digestive tract and heart cavity.... also very good for metabolism.
26. Nature’s Way Urinary Plus Cranberry and other Nature’s Way herbal combinations are very good. Nature’s Way also has Dandelion capsules and other combinations with dandelion such as Leg Veins.

27. E3AFA Blue green algae. Or Earthrise, Supergreens and more as mentioned above

The antioxidant/supplements are not a cheap part of the strategy, however, the food part of the strategy is generally inexpensive - processed food usually costs more than unprocessed food so in the short and long run, even if one is switching in some cases to organic, one is spending a better quality dollar than for what was previously spent for and wasted on processed food. Read the Gospels for the interaction of the Lord and the people when they needed healing and wholeness. Notice that the Levitical diet in that was what people used. Food in that era was either ‘clean’ adhering to Levitical law or unclean. There was no processed food or BigPharma anti-biotics and other BigPharma drugs used on the people unlike today. Although people are sick and infirmed from sin and iniquity/sins of the fathers and lawlessness then as well as today, today people make their lives worse via sedentary life style, processed food and bigPharma, medtech/mengele medical profession corruption and pollution. The US medical system is a volume based revenue model. This means that the more people ignorated to fall in and remain in it are the way the system makes money and self-enriches. The Lord is a rewarder of them who diligently seek Him. And in seeking Him one gains wisdom and understanding. One also gains faith to trust Him for better quality of life and health, however one also can avoid the medtech system and its operating strategy with the Lord and better nutrition and life style choices.

I have only gotten 'flu' when I have had some sort of infection or had eaten junk food and came into contact with cold germs. Once I’d gotten flu when I had a bad tooth infection that later needed root canal, which happened after my dentist had forgotten to deal with a bad cavity and my diet had trended into junk during the holidays and insufficient exercise, not enough antioxidants. Everyone else with that flu, however lost a week of work in bed while in my case with my constitution generally better, I had the 'bad cold'/cough.

This diet will prevent (assuming clean personal habits, not living near or on a toxic waste dump or major polluter, and no pets - pets often have parasites and in general make it more difficult to prevent in ones environment bacteria from pet fecal matter), reverse cavities and with the coQ10 in large amounts; fix gall bladder problems - as long as one doesn't overeat or eat food from animals polluted with anti-biotics and Bigpharma livestock pharma, do polluted dairy and put pressure on a problemed gall bladder, and generally it will also prevent gout. It will hinder if not prevent arthritis (the strategy uses clean fats and avoids the heavy metals from the cookware, other sources which the negative bacteria in the body and joints find useful for thriving in the anaerobic environment) and other auto immune illnesses.

Bless the Lord!

Clean, grass fed livestock and cooking things such as goatmeat

Roasted Goat or any other game or grass fed livestock- clean, grass fed meat... unless using organic: US cattle, US lamb, US pork, buffalo, 'hacked' or goat shoulder the shank cut in half, or whole is one is going to roast it on a spit or in a large oven but otherwise cut to fit the cookware....

Clean fat from meat, cut off while cold as it is easier to remove the fat from the meat while it is cold. Fill bowl with filtered water or bottled water, and if one is concerned about bacteria, immerse in a mixture of a few fluid ounces of peroxide (mixed w/ or w/o cheap vodka as an even more effective disinfectant) and filtered water, disinfect the meat letting the bacteria bubble/be killed. Then rinse in fresh filtered water either in bottle of from filter on tap (NON FLUORIDATED) and drain off the water.

Add chopped after washing, dry jalopeno pepper washed with soap and hot water and towel dry, organic onions, bulb garlic, organic carrots washed in filtered water chop all the above and in a large enamel lined casserole with lid, or Dutch oven with lid or ceramic cookware with lid, or enamel lined roasting pan with lid. Herb/spice, and if one wishes, add cleaned vegetables, and add some filtered water in the bottom of the pot, more for 'soup', less or none for roasted meat, then bake with lid on the pot at 350 for approx 2 hours

Editorial Thoughts on Nanotech, cloning and psychotronics:
The body along with enzymes can properly absorb the anti oxidants without the nano tech. God didn't do nano tech. I agree that those who misuse the technology are the enemy. It's the argument - guns don't kill people; people kill people. Do I want to program the gun to become HAL? No. This is where nano tech is going. \

Partly like cloned cows/cattle for milk and meat. We've got plenty, why clone something God did just fine? if one takes responsible care of their livestock they can breed the good ones without the problems, but they inbreed, give them hormones, make them sick, give them anti-biotics, and this is the pathetic food supply they attempt to feed to us.

*Actually at this point some of the ‘depression’ I origin in THE PSYCHOTRONIC technology. (
www.globalresearch.ca See Babacek article on "psychotronic weapons"*) COMBINES WITH THAT NEGATIVISM TO INTERFERE WITH ONE'S THINKING, SOCIETY'S PEACE AND SELF-SUFFICIENT/SELF -RELIANT BELIEFS AND on a GRAND SCALE PEOPLE’S 'FEELINGS' THOUGHTS OF SELF-WORTH.

Note on genetics: there are 12 variations on a gene. The knowledgeable genetic scientists don’t want YOU to know this. What is considered a genetic defect often is a genetic variation that is perhaps yet to be known to exist and not a defect, however, this is the new eugenics and the science shamans are using every ploy and deceit, knowingly or unknowingly to deceive the ordinary and trusting person. A great deal of the current bio, bio-chem, genetic, and med is 4rth Reich-controlled or subsequent to what the nazi doctors found before and during WWII. Many of these scientists we sanctuaried here at our top institutions, Rockefeller U, big Pharma, Big Med, top universities. Trust little of what they say and promote. Watch when big corporate interests are pushing soy, and apply the same skepticism to virtually everything else coming out of military-industrial complex America and science (shaman)/medtech/think-tank America.

I had dental work done to replace fillings, many of which were old and breaking. The dentist used the composite resin bonds to “cap” teeth, although be careful if your profession is something sophisticated such as investment banking or law, or science. The intelligence apparatus had my dentist use a root canal that had a surveillance implant it. The psychotronics at this point are fairly sophisticated, and more advanced than “MK Ultra” illegal implants in people that the CIA were experimenting using invasive, insidious technology in the 1950s-1970s. Through it, the US intelligence apparatus which has turf on ‘wall street’ and elsewhere in American society, will espionage information and cause other problems in your life. Although your dentist may seem trustworthy, I suggest you get a circular X-ray of your teeth before and after any major dental surgery. If your dentist that if he/she implants you with any sort of unwelcomed technology, aside from switching dentists, you may have to go to your state attorney general with the X-Rays as well as other consumer protection boards in your city/state.

Recently my suspicions have been confirmed about what is attempting to cripple US domestic production and commerce, or what the on-goings by big corporate management has been attempting to achieve.

Since 1860, but most aggressively during and since the assassination of Lincoln and our failure to return to government under the Constitution, we are seeing and living under ad hoc - provisional government.

At the present time we also are seeing an administration finishing the task of the last one in the attempt to shrink the US economy to fit 'G20' constraints-bands of growth. As most G20 countries are dog breath economies, and the Europeans want the US to float the IMF with a USD500B funding, as well as foot the build out in the developing and underdeveloped world many of which are former colonies of our 'allies', we're looking at economic treason by the wall street financial orgy and last as well as this administration's corruptions to destroy the power of US domestic production, commerce and vigor.

Psychotronics: THE SECRET WAVE THAT AFFECTS YOUR DECISIONS
Please find and use the information as part of your understanding of what artificially shapes the 'playing field' on which you must provide your services and 'goods'.

Recently reacquainting with a colleague and activist with PhD in Biophysics, who while working on satellite technology and technology related to HAARP, and understanding their effects and purposes by its contractors and users, after which she then quickly crossed into activism to ban this technology's use on mankind, having some hard copy of literature she uses in her activism, I decided to check a website www.globalresearch.ca sited as a source in her literature.

Although not lauding the website as manna from heaven, I found its search engine to yield some valuable information on psychotronics, and information to describe and expose where this technology is used as weapons of sorts against mankind grand scale and for targeted use against individuals to achieve other more counterproductive ends. Curious people for expose on nasa should also see http://www.nasawatch.info/

One must also understand the application where grand scale effect of psychotronic hardware on mankind can drive investment markets and create pump/dump bubbles, jury tamper, drive an accommodating mind set in Congress where Congress 'feels' and thinks itself compelled to accept political money, accommodate corporate friendly legislation, vote majority for fraudulent war, or even believe propaganda while proponents of any particular cause fail to produce any particularly compelling evidence. When Carl Rove said something to the effect of rousting the christian right in the last election, it was easy to see where using an issue such as 'same sex marriage' and psychotronics on the voters during election time would produce a greater number of agitated people than if the election were void of psychotronic grand scale use on Americas of voting age, and ignorant of the issues and ignorant of what is manipulating their 'drive' to vote for or against any candidate or issue. Worse than drunken sailors on a mission for licentiousness.

At the present time, 100 year old Tesla technology has been perfected and our government is a major purchaser of this technology produced by major military and 'security' contractors such as Lockheed Martin. Catherine Austin Fitts, a former Dillon Read board member and Assistant Secretary of HUD found the "Black OPs" budget while working in Bush1's administration. http://www.solari.com will give some insight on where and how expenditures for psychotronics occurs and all off the radar screen into the pockets of the military contractors for one could say 'secret state' interests, notwithstanding, I see no productive use for psychotronic weapons on Americans in an open society requiring for its health and longevity, unmolested reasoning, deliberation, and CRITICAL THINKING on the matters of life, society, and clean, open government rather than their invasion into our privacy while on our wallets and at the cost of our Republic, it/they conducts its business with its cronies behind closed-doors and paints it to us as 'national security'.

I've not only included the website, I likewise have included one of the more valuable and informative articles on the website that describes the use and effects of psychotronic weapons. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.

On a final note, keep in mind that Littleton, Colorado represents the site of two organizations: Lockheed Martin and Columbine High school. Given this technology can and is used to create a state of mind where young people would feel so possessed as to buy guns and shoot friends, and selves, and knowing that the military contractors such as Lockheed martin manufacture this technology and perhaps contemptuously think they can experiment with this as if with impunity and an invisible hand given the remote nature the technology possesses, one should 'connect-the-dots' on the problems this technology presents to society.

Respectfully,

The Deadly Instruments of the New World Order: Electromagnetic and Informational Weapons - The Remote Manipulation of the Human Brain
by Mojmir Babacek

Editors Note: We bring to our readers this carefully documented review article by Mojmir Babajek. While the text deals with a number of complex scientific processes, the implications of these findings are far-reaching. The arsenal of electromagnetic and informational weapons, used to manipulate the human mind of targeted individuals or populations, is an integral part of the weapons system of the New World Order. The US military possesses a sophisticated arsenal of psychotronic weapons which could be used both domestically and internationally.

Electromagnetic and informational Weapons could be used in conventional wars theatres, without the knowledge of the enemy. It is therefore essential that we not only take cognizance of these findings, but we mobilize nationally and internationally against the use of brain manipulating technologies.

Michel Chossudovsky, 5 August 2004
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In October 2000, Congressman Denis J. Kucinich introduced in the House of Representatives a bill, which would oblige the American president to engage in negotiations aimed at the ban of space based weapons.

In this bill, the definition of a weapons system included:

"any other unacknowledged or as yet undeveloped means inflicting death or injury on, or damaging or destroying, a person (or the biological life, bodily health, mental health, or physical and economic well-being of a person). through the use of land-based, sea- based, or space-based systems using radiation, electromagnetic, psychotronic, sonic, laser, or other energies directed at individual persons or targeted populations for the purpose of information war, mood management, or mind control of such persons or populations"(15).

As in all legislative acts quoted in this article, the bill pertains to sound, light or electromagnetic stimulation of the human brain.

Psychotronic weapons belong, at least for a layman uninformed of secret military research, in the sphere of science fiction, since so far none of the published scientific experiments has been presented in a meaningful way to World public opinion.

That it is feasible to manipulate human behavior with the use of subliminal, either by sound or visual messages, is now generally known and acknowledged by the scientific community.

This is why in most countries, the use of such technologies, without the consent of the individual concerned, is in theory banned. Needless to say, the use of these technologies is undertaken covertly, without the knowledge or consent of targeted individuals.

Devices using light for the stimulation of the brain constitute another mechanism whereby light flashing under certain frequencies could be used to manipulate the human psychic(psychie?).

As for the use of sound, a device transmitting a beam of sound waves, which can be heard only by persons at whom the beam of sound waves is targeted, has been reported in several news media. In this case, the beam is formed by a combination of sound and ultrasound waves which causes the targeted person to hear the sound inside his head. Such a procedure could affect the mental balance of the targeted individual as well as convince him that he is, so to speak, mentally ill.

This article examines the development of technologies and knowledge pertaining to the functioning of the human brain and the way new methods of manipulation of the human mind are being developed.

Electromagnetic energy
One of the main methods of manipulation is through electromagnetic energy.

In the declassified scientific literature only some 30 experiments have been published supporting this assumption (1),(2). Already in 1974, in the USSR, after successful testing within a military unit in Novosibirsk, the Radioson (Radiosleep) was registered with the Government Committee on Matters of Inventions and Discoveries of the USSR, described as a method of induction of sleep by means of radio waves (3), (4), (5).

In the scientific literature, technical feasibility of inducing sleep in a human being through the use of radio waves is confirmed in a book by an British scientist involved in research on the biological effects of electromagnetism (6). A report by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on nonionizing radiation published in 1991 confirms that:

"many of biological effects observed in animals exposed to ELF fields appear to be associated, either directly or indirectly, with the nervous system." (2).

Among the published experiments, there are those where pulsed microwaves have caused the synchronization of isolated neurons with the frequency of pulsing of microwaves. For example, a neuron firing at a frequency of 0.8 Hz was forced in this way to fire the impulses at a frequency of 1 Hz. Moreover, the pulsed microwaves contributed to changing the concentration of neurotransmitters in the brain (neurotransmitters are a part of the mechanism which causes the firing of neurons in the brain) and reinforcing or attenuating the effects of drugs delivered into the brain (1).

The experiment where the main brain frequencies registered by EEG were synchronized with the frequency of microwave pulsing (1,2) might explain the function of the Russian installation Radioson. Microwaves pulsed in the sleep frequency would cause the synchronization of the brain's activity with the sleep frequency and in this way produce sleep.

Pulsing of microwaves in frequency predominating in the brain at an awakened state could, by the same procedure, deny sleep to a human being.

A report derived from the testing program of the Microwave Research Department at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research states

"Microwave pulses appear to couple to the central nervous system and produce stimulation similar to electric stimulation unrelated to heat".

In a many times replicated experiment, microwaves pulsed in an exact frequency caused the efflux of calcium ions from the nerve cells (1,2). Calcium plays a key role in the firing of neurons and Ross Adey, member of the first scientific team which published this experiment, publicly expressed his conviction that this effect of electromagnetic radiation would interfere with concentration on complex tasks (7).

Robert Becker, who had share in the discovery of the effect of pulsed fields at the healing of broken bones, published the excerpts from the report from Walter Reed Army Institute testing program. In the first part "prompt debilitation effects" should have been tested (8). Were not those effects based on the experiment by Ross Adey and others with calcium efflux?

British scientist John Evans, working in the same field, wrote that both Ross Adey and Robert Becker lost their positions and research grants and called them "free-thinking exiles" (6). In 1975, in the USA, a military experiment was published where pulsed microwaves produced, in the brain of a human subject, an audio perception of numbers from 1 to 10 (9). Again the possibility to convince an individual that it is mentally ill is obvious. The testing program of American Walter Read Army Institute of Research, where the experiment took place, counts with "prompt auditory stimulation by means of auditory effects" and finally aims at "behavior controlled by stimulation" (8).

Let us assume that the words delivered into the brain were transcribed into ultrasound frequencies. Would not then the subject perceive those same words as his own thoughts?

And would this not imply that that his behavior was being controlled in this way through the transmission of ultrasound frequencies? In this regard, the American Air Force 1982 "Final Report On Biotechnology Research Requirements For Aeronautical Systems Through the Year 2000" states:

"While initial attention should be toward degradation of human performance through thermal loading and electromagnetic field effects, subsequent work should address the possibilities of directing and interrogating mental functioning, using externally applied fields." (10).

Several scientists have warned that the latest advances in neurophysiology could be used for the manipulation of the human brain.

In June 1995, Michael Persinger, who worked on the American Navy's project of Non-lethal electromagnetic weapons, published a scientific article where he states:

"the technical capability to influence directly the major portion of the approximately six billion brains of the human species without mediation through classical sensory modalities by generating neural information within a physical medium within which all members of the species are immersed. is now marginally feasible" (11). In 1998, the French National Bioethics Committee warned that "neuroscience is being increasingly recognized as posing a potential threat to human rights" (12). In May 1999 the neuroscientists conference, sponsored by the UN, took place in Tokyo. Its final declaration formally acknowledges that :

"Today we have intellectual, physical and financial resources to master the power of the brain itself, and to develop devices to touch the mind and even control or erase consciousness.We wish to profess our hope that such pursuit of knowledge serves peace and welfare" (13).

On the international political scene, in the last few years, the concept of remote control of the human brain has become a matter of international and intergovernmental negotiation. In January 1999, the European Parliament passed a resolution where it called "for an international convention introducing a global ban on all developments and deployments of weapons which might enable any form of manipulation of human beings." (14)

Already in 1997, nine states of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) addressed the UN, OBSE and the states of the Interparliamentary Union with the proposal to place at the agenda of the General Assembly of the United Nations, the preparation and adoption of an international convention "On Prevention of Informational Wars and Limitation of Circulation of Informational Weapons" (16), (3).

Informational Weapons
The initiative was originally proposed, in the Russian State Duma, by Vladimir Lopatin (3). V. Lopatin worked, from 1990 to 1995, in sequence, in the standing committees on Security respectively of the Russian Federation, Russian State Duma and of the Interparliamentary Assembly of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), specializing in informational security.(3). The concept of informational weapon or informational war is rather unknown to the world general public. In 1999, V. Lopatin, together with Russian scientist Vladimir Tsygankov, published a book "Psychotronic Weapon and the Security of Russia" (3). There we find the explanation of this terminology:

"In the report on the research of the American Physical Society for the year 1993 the conclusion is presented that psychophysical weapon systems.can be used. for the construction of a strategic arm of a new type (informational weapon in informational war)."

Among many references on this subject, we refer to Materials of the Parliament Hearings "Threats and Challenges in the Sphere of Informational Security", Moscow, July 1996, "Informational Weapon as a Threat to the National Security of the Russian Federation" (analytical report of the Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation), Moscow, 1996 and a material "To Whom Will Belong the Conscientious Weapon in the 21st Century", Moscow, 1997. (17).

In 2000 V. Lopatin introduced, after two other authors, the third in order bill on the subject of "Informational and Psychological Security of the Russian Federation". Lopotin's findings were reviewed by the Russian newspaper Segodnya:

".Means of informational-psychological influence are capable not only of harming the health of an individual, but, also of causing, according to Lopatin, 'the blocking of freedom of will of human being on the subliminal level, the loss of the ability of political, cultural and social self identification, the manipulation of societal consciousness, which could lead to the destruction of a sense of collective identify by the Russian people and nation'" (16).

In the book "Psychotronic Weapons and the Security of Russia", the authors propose among the basic principles of the Russian concept of defense against the remote control of the human psyche not only the acknowledgement of its existence, but also the fact that the methods of informational and psychotronic war are fully operational ("and are being used without a formal declaration of war") (18). They also quote the record from the session of the Russian Federation's Federal Council where V. Lopatin stated that psychotronic weapon can

"cause the blocking of the freedom of will of a human being on a subliminal level" or "instillation into the consciousness or subconsciousness of a human being of information which will trigger a faulty or erroneous perception of reality" (19).

In that regard, they proposed the preparation of national legislation as well as the establishment of legal international norms "aimed at the defense of human psyche against subliminal, destructive and informational manipulations" (20).

Moreover, they also propose the declassification of all analytical studies and research on the various technologies. They warned that, because this research has remained classified and removed from the public eye, it has allowed the arms race to proceed unabated. It has thereby contributed to increasing the possibility of psychotronic war.

Among the possible sources of remote influence on human psyche, the authors list the "generators of physical fields" of "known as well as unknown nature" (21). In 1999 the STOA (Scientific and Technological Options Assessment), part of the Directorate General for Research of the European Parliament published the report on Crowd Control Technologies, ordered by them with the OMEGA foundation in Manchester (UK) (22, http://www.europarl.eu.int/stoa/publi/pdf/99-14-01-a_en.pdf ).

One of four major subjects of the study pertained to the so-called "Second Generation" or "non lethal" technologies: "This report evaluates the second generation of 'non-lethal' weapons which are emerging from national military and nuclear weapons laboratories in the United States as part of the Clinton Administration's 'non-lethal' warfare doctrine now adopted in turn by NATO. These devices include weapons using. directed energy beam,.radio frequency, laser and acoustic mechanisms to incapacitate human targets" (23) The report states that "the most controversial ,non-lethal' crowd control . technology proposed by the U.S., are so called Radio Frequency or Directed Energy Weapons that can allegedly manipulate human behavior. the greatest concern is with systems which can directly interact with the human nervous system" (24). The report also states that "perhaps the most powerful developments remain shrouded in secrecy" (25).

The unavailability of official documents confirming the existence of this technology may be the reason why the OMEGA report is referencing, with
respect to mind control technology, the internet publication of the author of this article (26 http://www.europarl.eu.int/stoa/publi/pdf/99-14-01-a_en.pdf ).

Similarly, the internet publication of the director of the American Human Rights and Anti-mind Control Organization (CAHRA), Cheryl Welsh, is referenced by the joint initiative of the Quaker United Nations Office, United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research, and Programme for Strategic and International Security Studies, with respect to non-lethal weapons (27).

On September 25th, 2000, the Committee on Security of the Russian State Duma discussed the addendum to the article 6 of the Federal law On Weapons. In the resolution we read:
"The achievements of contemporary science. allow for creation of measured methods of secret, remote influencing on the psyches and physiology of a person or a group of people" (28). The committee recommended that the addendum be approved. The addendum to the article 6 of the Russian Federation law "On Weapons" was approved on July 26, 2001. It states: "within the territory of the Russian Federation is prohibited the circulation of weapons and other objects. the effects of the operation of which are based on the use of electromagnetic, light, thermal, infra-sonic or ultra-sonic radiations." (29).

In this way, the Russian government made a first step to stand up to its dedication to the ban of mind control technology.

In the Doctrine of Informational Security of the Russian Federation, signed by president Putin in September 2000, among the dangers threatening the informational security of Russian Federation, is listed "the threat to the constitutional rights and freedoms of people and citizens in the sphere of spiritual life. individual, group and societal consciousness" and "illegal use of special means affecting individual, group and societal consciousness" (30). Among the major directions of the international cooperation toward the guaranteeing of the informational security is listed "the ban of production, dissemination and use of 'informational weapon' " (31).

The foregoing statement should be interpreted as the continuing Russian commitment to the international ban of the means of remote influencing of the activity of the human brain.

Similarly, in the above mentioned report, published by the STOA, the originally proposed version of the resolution of the European Parliament calls for: "an international convention for a global ban on all research and development, which seeks to apply knowledge of the chemical, electrical, sound vibration or other functioning of the human brain to the development of weapons which might enable the manipulation of human beings, including a ban of any actual or possible deployment of such systems."(32)

Here the term "actual" might easily mean that such weapons are already deployed.

Among the countries with the most advanced military technologies is the USA which did not present any international initiative demanding the ban of technologies enabling the remote control of human mind. (The original version of the bill by Denis J. Kucinich was changed.)

All the same, according to the study published by STOA, the US is the major promoter of the use of those weapons. Non lethal technology was included into NATO military doctrine due to their effort: "At the initiative of the USA, within the framework of NATO, a special group was formed, for the perspective use of devices of non-lethal effects" states the record from the session of the Committee on Security of the Russian State Duma (28).

The report published by STOA states: "In October 1999 NATO announced a new policy on non-lethal weapons and their place in allied arsenals" (33). "In 1996 non-lethal tools identified by the U.S. Army included. directed energy systems" and "radio frequency weapons" (34) - those weapons, as was suggested in the STOA report as well, are being associated with the effects on the human nervous system.

According to the Russian government informational agency FAPSI, in the last 15 years,U.S. expenditures on the development and acquisition of the means of informational war has increased fourfold, and at present they occupy the first place among all military programs (17),(3).

Though there are possible uses of informational war, which do not imply mind control, the US Administration has been unwilling to engage in negotiations on the ban on all forms of manipulation of the human brain. This unwillingness might indeed suggest that the US administration intends to use mind control technologies both within the US as well as internationally as an instrument of warfare.

One clear consequence of the continuation of the apparent politics of secrecy surrounding technologies enabling remote control of the human brain is that the governments, who own such technologies, could use them without having to consult public opinion. Needless to say, any meaningful democracy in today's world could be disrupted, through secret and covert operations. It is not inconceivable that in the future, entire population groups subjected to mind control technologies, could be living in a "fake democracy" where their own government or a foreign power could broadly shape their political opinions by means of mind control technologies.

Soy, the Soydid truth they dont want you to know
Important paper by Dr. Blaylock exposing soy as the public health hazard that it is.

Yesterday Robert Cohen of www.notmilk.com put a column on his large non-milk list against Dr. Blaylock and Dr. Mercola's warning against the use of soy products. I believe he did this because he advocates soy milk and sells a machine he calls soy toys. He also has a large calling with 7 Day Adventists who should also receive this rebuttal from Dr. Blaylock. Robert's information was wrong and I couldn't stop him nor could I convince him to allow Dr. Blaylock to show his side so people getting the information could form their opinion having both sides of the debate. Dr. Blaylock has answered Robert. This article is chock full of incredible, life-saving information everyone should have. I'm putting it on my lists but I hope
that others who have lists will, in fact, also share it, publish it and saturate the globe with it. Dr. Blaylock's web site with his books is www.russellblaylockmd.com and he also has an excellent newsletter. Also for more information on MSG go to www.truthinlabeling.org Dr. Blaylock can be seen in the movie Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World (cori@soundandfuryproductions.com) Stay tuned for Sweet Remedy, coming soon.

Dr. Blaylock's rebuttal was very necessary because "Truth" always comes first, and we're talking about people's lives. It's bad enough that industry and professional organizations who are funded by industry mislead the public. And the glutamate people are very powerful and continually put out propaganda to consumers. Dr. Blaylock's information is brilliant and is the truth of the matter.

All my best,

Response to Robert Cohen's Slanderous Statements

I have been sent an e-mail that you have circulated concerning my objections to soy-based foods. I must say your slanderous rantings are that of a three-year old having a temper tantrum, not a reasoned discussion of the issues involved. You portray yourself as a "scientist", but I fail to see your credentials posted. I am a board-certified neurosurgeon, retired Clinical Assistant Professor of Neurosurgey, Visiting Professor of Biology at Belhaven College and have written over 30 papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. I serve on the editorial board of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons and the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association.

My recent papers on the connection between excitotoxicity and fluoride neurotoxicity, and autism and the Gulf War Syndrome have received praise from leading authorities in each of these areas of research. I am the co-developer of one of the most commonly used methods for removal of intraventricular meningiomas, for which I am given credit in all major neurosurgical texts, along with my mentor Ludwig G, Kempe, one of the most famous names in Neurosurgey.

I have written three chapters in three medical textbooks as well as three nutrition books for the lay public, one of which you quoted, citing me as an expert in the field. I do extensive study in the field of excitotoxicity.

Since you are now in the business of selling soy products and a soy-milk making machine, I can understand your concern for your financial future. That has nothing to do with science. If your reading public wants an excellent review of the dangers of soy I suggest they read Dr. Kaayla Daniel's newly released book- The Whole Soy Story. You rambling defense of soy safety falls far short of science for a number of reasons. Aspartic acid, which is a naturally occurring amino acid, that, despite your statement that it is an essential amino acid, is not. It can be synthesized from oxaloacetate and glutamate via transamination. What you and many of the defenders of excitatory amino acid safety cannot seem to understand, or refuse to understand, is that free amino acids act differently than those occurring in whole foods.

Digestion breaks most proteins into amino acids only at a very slow rate. I quote Guyton's Textbook of Medical Physiology, page 794- " As a result the normal rate of absorption... (amino acid absorption is determined) by the rate at which they can be released from the proteins during digestion. For these reasons, essentially no free amino acids can be found in the intestine during digestion." When soybeans are processed, the excitotoxic amino acids (glutamate and aspartate) are not only released, they are concentrated. This is especially so in soy protein isolates and soy protein concentrates-which are used in soy milk. This means that your figures on the glutamic and aspartic acid contents is much lower than in fact exist in your product.

Olney and others have shown that human blood levels of glutamate increase as much as 20X on glutamate loading with concentrations found in such hydrolyzed proteins. These high blood levels are transferred into the human brain, especially under certain circumstances. Even in the completely normal brain, glutamate, aspartate and other excitotoxins can enter the brain via the circumventricular organs, which includes the hypothalamus. As you certainly know, or should know, one of the most sensitive structures in the brain is the arcuate nucleus. It is easily destroyed by levels of glutamate found in hydrolyzed proteins and this has been proven in laboratory studies.

It is also known that the blood-brain barrier contains glutamate receptors and that free glutamate at these concentrations, can open the barrier, allowing these high levels of glutamate to freely enter the brain. It is also known that a multitude of conditions open the barrier, including strokes (both gross and silent), brain injury, brain tumors, certain pesticides, mercury, lead, autoimmune disorders (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, etc), radiofrequency radiation (cell phones), seizures, multiple sclerosis and infections. Anyone with these conditions should avoid products that contain high levels of excitotoxins, such as hydrolyzed soy products. T his constitutes a large percentage of the population.

In addition, pregnant women should avoid such excitotoxin-containing products, since the placenta concentrates the glutamate, exposing the baby to much higher levels of glutamate than the mother. This has been proven. It has also been proven, that the baby's brain is 5X more sensitive to excitotoxin exposure than is the adult brain and that humans are 4X more sensitive than the next most sensitive animal species. And this is under the best of conditions.

It has been shown that inflammation dramatically increases the toxicity of excitotoxins on the brain, especially in small children. This means that any inflammatory condition, virus, bacterial infection or immune disorder, will increase a person's and especially a baby's risk of injury. Since the human baby's brain undergoes its most rapid growth and development from the last trimester of pregnancy through the first 2 years of life, it is most at risk from food-based excitotoxins, such as hydrolyzed soy.

A number of recent studies have shown that excess glutamate exposure during this period of "brain growth spurt" can alter the develop ment of the child's brain, especially neuroendocrine, cognitive, behavioral and language functions.

I am sure many of your readers are not aware that one of the earliest finding during glutamate research was that newborn animals fed glutamate developed gross obesity. This has been repeated numerous times and is used in obesity studies. An international panels of neuroscientist cited this as a possible reason for the obesity epidemic in the developed world. With the dramatic increase in glutamate food additives and consumption of soy products, especially soy based formula and soy milk by babies and small children, is is no wonder we are seeing this epidemic of childhood gross obesity and diabetes. Experimentally, glutamate exposure in these same doses can induce diabetes in animals.

Experiments have also shown that early exposure to glutamate can alter-permanently-the baby's vascular reactivity. This would have major implications in cardiovascular disease. Likewise, early exposure to higher levels of glutamate, equal to that of food-based excitotoxins, results in behavioral problems, endocrine disruption, increased susceptibility to seizures early in life and alterations in lipid profiles that increase the likelihood of cardiovascular disease later in life. In fact, newer studies have shown that elevated blood glutamate significantly increases free radical generation in the endothelial lining of blood vessels-the very mechanism that causes atherosclerosis.

Recent research has also shown that many tissues and organs in the body contain glutamate receptors and that overstimulation of these receptors can cause a number of clinical problems. For example, glutamate receptor stimulation of pulmonary tissues can result in bronchiospasm (as in asthma) and worsening of pulmonary function in those with lung diseases. The heart muscle and heart conduction system (AV and SA nodes) also contain numerous glutamate receptors. As I pointed out, the pancreas (ilets of Langerhans) also contain abundant glutamate receptors, and explains the resulting diabetes.

Even more frightening is the recent discovery that glutamate greatly enhances the growth of a number of cancers-especially brain cancers, such as the glioblastoma and malignant astrocytoma. Breast, lung and ovarian cancers have also been shown to spread and metastasize faster when glutamate levels are elevated. This has been proven, and is beyond dispute.

We know that under certain conditions, glutamate toxicity is greatly increased, which includes low magnesium levels, deficient mitochondrial energy production [such as hypoglycemia, mitochondrial disease, during aging, with all of the neurodegenerative disease (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ALS] and most chronic diseases), during inflammation and when associated with other toxins-including mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, pesticides, fluoride and industrial chemicals. This would include tens of millions of Americans, who should be avoiding soy products.
While there is a lot more concerning excitotoxins, which can be found in my two books-Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills and Health and Nutrition Secrets That Can Save Your Life., unfortunately, there is a lot more involved than just excitotoxins. Soybeans and especially their hydrolyzed and processed products, contain high levels of manganese, aluminum and fluoride-all of which are powerful cell toxins, especially for brain cells.

Recent studies have shown that when aluminum is combined with fluoride, which occurs very easily, brain levels of aluminum are doubled. Extensive research connects aluminum in the brain with most of the neurodegenerative diseases. When hydrolyzed as in soy milk, the fluoride and aluminum easily bind, forming neurotoxic fluoroaluminum compounds. The concentration at which this occurs in 0.5 ppm, a very small concentration. Fluoroaluminum compounds interact with G-proteins, which are common cell communication systems, especially in the brain and operate most of the glutamanergic receptors in the brain (glutamate receptors).

I would call attention to a most important study reported in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition in the year 2000. It describes a 25 year study of middle-aged individuals consuming a diet containing tofu, which found a strong association with brain atrophy and cognitive impairment and the consumption of this soy product. Brain atrophy was determined by MRI scans. In fact, low brain weight was seen in 12% of men consuming the lowest amount of tofu and 40% consuming the highest amount. This indicates a dose-response effect, making a stronger case of neurotoxicity. I can go on forever with research and studies showing a significant danger of consuming large amounts of soy products, especially soy milk, but I have other things to do-like research processed food toxicology .

I would hope that Mr. Cohen would in the future refrain from his temper tantrums and childish, slanderous name-calling. Neither I nor Dr. Mercola are idiots, morons or suffering from delusions. What we are not doing is making money selling soy products. I expect this response to appear on your website.

Governance, Sarbanes-Oxley And Value Reporting:
New Life for the Shareholder? or, a "Wink-and-a-Nod"

Ineffective Board representation combined with 'transition' into grand scale absentee ownership (investors who are indifferent about the nature of their assets, as long as it produces the desired return) has produced an amnesia with regard to risks entailed with management self-dealing. The other participants in the recent financial crisis have been the legislators and lobbyists, which partly produced the reason for the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX"). Again, we seem to have the same culprits of previous financial failures, as demonstrated in the 'unintended' consequences of most of the S&L legislation. With respect to the success of SOX, prudence exhorts skepticism; perhaps board and governance along with educated 'owners' and other stakeholders may remedy agency self-dealing.

Further, those knowledgeable of the legislative process, as well as the forces that drive matters to the point where legislation becomes the result are asking was the SOX really the right answer? With Congress' interest to legislate corporate governance, accountability for internal controls, and firms which provide that and external reporting services, was SOX necessary federal legislation when the SEC could have had the Exchanges require any eventual compliance of its listed firms? Was it necessary to make into statute the practice of arm's length assurance and audit? Perhaps the 50 states should audit the companies incorporated in each one, looking for signs of malfeasance and negligence, rather than permit further federal encroachment into states' matters. I remain somewhat skeptical that more vigilant oversight wouldn't have been the appropriate answer at the board level of the issuers, at the accounting firms, and for their profession's code of conduct to remain fully respectful for the degree of integrity necessary to provide such services that fan the public trust, or cynicism and litigation. Perhaps without federal force, however, nothing would have changed, even though we should be concerned about what REALLY changed below the radar screen, and SOX's "unintended" consequences.

Congress hoped to subtly shed attention, and thus, blame from itself and its campaign contributing management and board cronies. With Congress typically passing management-cozy laws, in SOX however, the jury may be out still on management's continuation of its recent practice of battering the reporting model in order to self-deal and self-enrich. Between senior management certifications required under Sections 302 and 906, and discipline for improper influence on conduct of audits in section 303, management, auditors, and external reporting firms may find it extremely difficult to commit fraud and misrepresent the firm's performance. The Act is attempting to end to corporate earnings-gaming by requiring 'arms-length' practices for the reporting and earnings calculating via disciplining and diminishing the relationship between management and the public accounting firms. Additionally, SOX is repositioning a firm's relationship with the public accounting firms at the board level. In several other sections including Section 404, SOX also shifts internal audit responsibilities toward oversight of financial integrity, hopefully including a greater emphasis on the quality of the information produced from the internal reporting with associated controls, not merely auditing the systems to determine levels of functionality, which was formerly what the internal audit largely examined. Section 804 extends the 'Statute of Limitations for Securities Fraud', hopefully another way to mitigate corporate fraud (all above and following SOX references are cited from E&Y's "Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 The Current Landscape (Rule Updates and Business Trends", as of 8/03).

Firms enjoy access to the public exchanges, however, and while listed to trade publicly, they are required to comply with the new legislation. With SOX eliminating much of the former permissibility to use the reporting model to contort appearances of financial performance (Section 401 is requiring complete, enterprise wide disclosure, linking with the SEC's Reg G (1/22/03) to prohibit presentation of misleading and inaccurate non GAAP reporting), this may be why management is seeking desperately to retain the use of free options and is attempting to have Congress force the FASB to withdraw pending GAAP to expense options as a form of executive compensation.

Evidently, SOX likewise is producing 'pressure' at firms such as Ernst & Young, which we see: "Following the passage of the Act (SOX), these pressures continue to mount, together with increased regulation, and a renewed focus on corporate governance practices and financial reporting integrity and transparency", found in the opus of E&Y's Rule Updates and Business Trends, "Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002" (8/03), a helpful document E&Y provides to summarize the sections of SOX.
E&Y and its peers have every ability to produce quality audit and assurance services to prevent misrepresentation, fraud, and piracy of every sort in public reporting, if they remain committed to the task. One sees this admirably demonstrated in the "Company A Cash Disbursements - Narrative", 12/31/03 (Audit/Control) checks and balances at the cash disbursements level. Perhaps not having participated in official audits, I also found impressive E&Y's Assurance and Advisory Business Services "Preparing for Internal Control Reporting, A Guide for Management's Assessment under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act" (0677), "Evaluating Internal Controls" (in 3 parts), as a part of E&Y's services to provide "comprehensive assessment and documentation of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting" pursuant to Section 404 (0677, p. 2). Perhaps the control and reporting staff at listed firms should be required to comply with Continuing Professional Education in control accounting and financial reporting including new GAAP; professionals at the public accounting firms must meet these continuing ed requirements (0677, p. 14, "Whether the accounting department has processes in place to identify significant changes in GAAP promulgated...").

Although it should not surprise me, notwithstanding, I found the distinction made between audit and assurance services rendered by the public accounting firms to listed companies where E&Y indicates, "Finally, the project team needs to include in its understanding and evaluation the company's process for producing financial reports" (0677, p. 21). Was this responsibility overlooked before SOX, and now must be part of the check list of assurance/audit firm tasks? Perhaps a disconnect existed between the respective results of audit and assurance efforts, where one may attribute the disconnect partly to a management disrespect for the "Cost-Benefit Concept" that would avoid reducing difficult-to-quantify risks and the practice of 'old-fashioned' audit tasks (0677, p. 27). Sadly, the accountants complied. Hopefully, with the SOX created PCAOB, the accounting firms will find that they need to render superior, arm's length work (Sections 101 & 102, 104, and 108). And meanwhile, 'window dressing' comes to mind. E&Y Partners Haverstick and Ridder mentioned that internal audit responsibilities are shifting more towards oversight of financial integrity (Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002: The Current Landscape, p. 5, Section 302: Management Certifications Business Trends). From what are these responsibilities shifting? What before was so flawed about how E&Y handled these things, and how can E&Y certify systems as fool-proof and game-proof? Time will tell.

Not fully agreeing with Eccles, et al's premise that the 'reporting model' has failed, I absolutely support complete transparency, high-idealed board practices, and corporate governance that are fully accountable to the non management shareholder in every prudent way in order to eliminate the pervasive agency problem that has been abusing the stakeholders in public companies. Further, internationalizing the reporting model adds yet another element of distraction that management uses to self-enrich and promotes corporate colonialism; we need to deal with our US GAAP problems. Eccles, et al, also had mentioned three dimensions of risk that companies should answer in their financial reporting: what has management practiced to produce 'value', what practices destroy value, and what confidence has the ordinary investor to estimate the distribution of outcomes (Eccles, et al, p.145, 146). Although the authors have asked in the end something seemingly abstract, perhaps investors unconsciously ask themselves this by their 'investment' choices, such as choosing mutual funds.

Perhaps few investors really care about SOX, however, and the aforementioned associated efforts that we are making regarding increasing transparency and more effective governance. Perhaps huckstering the 'markets' as a 'safe' investment and as a proxy for savings accounts, but now attracting the same market gambling that previously found outlet at the race track has contorted the activity in the investment markets, coincident with this get-rich-quick mentality that is occurring in times of indolence which also promotes corporate interests and self-dealings front and center stage. Such speaks ill of our society, when commercial interests have gained the power and attention that they have. SOX will not solve any of this.

The authors give us the following past-as-prologue concerns. First, the authors state that boards must demand the necessary information (Eccles, et al. P. 239). Should we assume the authors are telling us that boards of directors neglected to ask for full disclosure and full transparent financial reporting from management? Or rather, why wasn't management giving the board this information?

Next, perhaps Shareholders' Equity would provide the better location for reporting of changes in Goodwill, as these fair value changes fail the realizable and earned tests for income statement reporting (Eccles, et al, p. 241, 242). The authors also discuss internet measurement standards for intangible items that need valuation for balance sheet purposes, however, which I would never include in the Income Statement (p. 261), unless these items actually earned realizable revenue.

Eccles, et al, further believe that Value Reporting Revolution can eliminate information confusion that seems to be causing battles among the users and issuers of financial reports (p. 249), rather than exposing management's interest to self-enrich, which in realtiy is producing the confusion. The authors fail to observe another associated factor which is management's desire to distinguish itself from the next guy, so as to gain the investors' dollars. It seems this is partly the undertow to the authors' interests and thesis related to finding the 'value drivers' of firm, including the Global Reporting Initiative (triple bottom line). In addition, the accounting firms should include in their audit report their insights 'about how to improve that performance" (p. 267) and charge for it accordingly. The auditors' job is not to advise management, however, and here the authors reveal their continued co-dependence to have some management level, value-added position that violates the arm's length, disinterested 3rd party rule, and exists as another part of the undertow. The authors err again when they smugly add that the industry 'expert' model has worked well for management allies such as the bankers and consultants, and that the accountants likewise can enjoy this (p.269, 270).

Without omission about the role of sell-side analysts, a respected utility analyst by the name of Barry Spenser (God rest his soul) once noted about this group, "Why do you think they call it the SELL side?" His rhetorical comment answered many questions related to the problems everyone else had with Wall Street and sell-side analysts. The public had failed to ask Wall Street about the truthful role of the 'sell-side' analyst, and wait for the correct answer; salesmen will tell you anything if they are permitted.

Constitutional vrs 'Free' trade (work in progress)
"Free" Trade - The Controlled Trade of the British 'Crown'

What is the history of 'free' trade? We can thank the British 'Crown' for 'free' trade. One conjectures the expression alluded to the lack of taxation on the "Crown's" imported goods, or perhaps where British ships were accessing regions typically controled by ships of other societies, and transporting 'free' of foreign involvement with those exported goods from those regions to Britain and British settlments.

The British in the late 16th through early 19th centuries had attempted to gain more access to, and control of trade in the regions controlled by other countries, this interest to control trade the British Crown-colonistic form of trade/commerce they labeled as 'free' trade. Even in and out of the American settlements as well as other 'colonies' of the British 'Crown', the British Crown wanted to control all trade including all transport of goods. The 'Royal Navy', conceived originally to pirate, then morphed to protect the British "Crown's" (commercial interests') trade from pirates, in time had greater ambitions and beliefs in its efficiency - its speed to transport goods. Reading Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" may remind one of his argument about enterprises more efficient than others at transporting goods in and out of foreign regions. Although some like to identify that part of Smith as describing 'comparative advantage', actually Smith was describing 'free' trade and alluding in this case without specifying some presumed 'techonological' advantage that British ships had over Spanish or Dutch ships, and so the British ships had a comparative advantage with regard to their speed than those of other societies. Identifying the terms and concepts becomes important in the slick double-speak that the commercial interests have perpetrated over the century or so including and since our Civil War.

While discussing the developement of the British navy, Andrew Herman's "To Rule the Waves: How the British Navy shaped the World" (Collins, 2004) reveals and describes the term 'Free' Trade, researches the British Navy's escort and armament of its trade vessels, as well as British Crown efforts to control trade in and out of its regions and colonies, including access to those of the other colonial powers. For this reason, he added, the British viewed Sam Adams and John Hancock as 'smugglers' because they opposed, and competed against the Crown's interests and efforts to control trade in or out of the Americas.

No wonder when we drafted the Declaration of Independence, we were separating ourselves from the British People, the British King/Monarchy, and the "British Crown", another lable for the British commercial interests, a number of which had financed and supported the founding of colonies in the 'new world'. In our Revolution, we were liberating ourselves not only from lack of representation and associated taxes when the 'Crown' opposed and rejected paying taxes to the King and told him to 'get it from the colonies', but we were shedding the British intent to control trade into our society. The British Crown began aggressive punishment and interference of, and against American merchants and their trade, while we began actions of civil disobedience and aggressive efforts to separate/liberate ourselves from virtually everything British and Crown.

Contemporary versions of colonialist Crown trade, commonly known as 'Free' Trade agreements, play on the ignorance of those from whom this back-to-the-future piracy is targeting- the means of the ordinary voter and shareholder. Academics of virtually all levels in the US ubiquitously teach 'free' trade as if it is THE accepted, unquestioned form of international trade and commerce. College economics professors teach that 'barriers' trade hinder 'free' trade. Over time, the prevailing, predominant theme regarding trade has become 'Free' trade, where 'experts' site it as the way for advancement, enrichment, and something we must embrace in what they describe as our 'democracy'. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

The British and the current 5th Column within the US, let's calls these the 'Red Coats' or the Red Coat 'Free'Traitors, meanwhile, condemn those among us who aggressively advocate we keep, as well as call for our public servants to keep the Constitution where we indirectly tax, ie, charge duties, tariffs, and excise taxes/customs fees - on all imported goods and I would include services. They condemn us as protectionists and trade haters or opposing trade when again, nothing could be farther from the truth. We are not a society with colonies - that for which the British Crown purposed 'free' trade to exist. The British hated our Constitution's prohibition of the British Crown's preferred form of trade, now painted to ignorated Americans to mean 'open' trade when 'free' trade disingenuously means trade to suit special, middle-man interests. The slam of protectionist/protectionism attempts to argue for something that our Constitution - our Rule of Law- prohibits and which the Constitution makes no argument or support for it anywhere, even though the language is loose in ARticle 1 Section 8. The Protectionist epithet is a typical slam of those resentfully disenfranchised and deceitfully attempting to control the playing field to advantage themselves. Tariffs on ALL imported goods, and I would include ALL services, discriminates against no particular import, with the result that open trade exists, while we have our quality of life encouraged and promoted while tariffs, etc on all sorts of imports encourages us to do business with each other, and broadly developing wealth throughout our society among all of us, without the interference, problems, the greed, and ambitions of foreign commercial and sovereign interests of other societies. Our free trade with former colonialist societies and their former colonies has bailed out those counterparties, while we have financed their socialism and welfare states.

NAFTA.

Last year marked the 10th Anniversary of the North American 'Free' Trade Agreement, otherwise known as NAFTA. In addition to the terrible consequences of the final and unfinished part of NAFTA mandating to economically integrate the US with Canada, less economically asymmetric than the US, but also with Mexico, not only different culturally, but a 3rd world country economically, with all the problems and failures of a cronyist, post-colonialist, deeply divided, class-stratified, sectarian society. Unless we repeal NAFTA as well as other free trade agreements, the future for the US domestic economy looks increasingly bleak.

Management and those facilitating middle-man interests including the financial press, sidestep, supress, or avoid the truth. Meanwhile, 'free' trade in general continues to erode our domestic commercial environment with experts monitoring the melt-down. Academics involved in developing NAFTA have admitted the more disturbing truth about 'free' trade: Clement's (1999), et al's, "North American Economic Integration" describes on page 12: "political scientists also have reason to be uneasy about NAFTA (as an illustration). They tend to view free trade agreements as a problematic issue for political candidates irrespective of their ideological positions, ie, free trade is usually seen by workers in developed countries (AND IN OUR REPUBLIC) as a threat to their economic security, especially during periods of stagnating wages and massive restructuring 'downsizing', as was in the case in the early 1990s" (that particular recession was caused by a Democrat-lead Congress and Reagan's 1986 Tax Act, which contributed to the 'thrift crisis' and the 'banking' crisis. Corporations took advantage to the recession to conduct restructuring and charge-off the expense for this during a time when corporations were already reporting lower profits. Those write-offs related to restructuring charges, coincident with the passage of NAFTA and may have been, probably were used to finance manufacturing investment in Mexico, hidden in the income statement in the restructuring charges taken in a slow economy).

Clement continues, "Nonetheless, firms <> especially those in high-tech, export-oriented industries, tend to support 'freer' trade and through lobbyists, wield considerable influence with political candidates, hence, politicians may well lose voter support if they support 'free trade' and lose campaign funding if they oppose it - a classic 'no win' situation. Nevertheless, some political scientists looking at (foreign relations) which have fluctuated widely in recent decades use (these agreements) a tool for 'normalizing' the channels of ...discussion... on a wide range of economic and political issues..." .

The Fraud of the "New Ecomomy" and its non union, younger work force. For example, the 'tech' industries such as Information tech, computer hardware and software and 'enterprise' build-out including the Internet technology are relatively 'young' sectors, have little in the way of legacy benefits costs, often employ younger people with fewer responsibilities, less risk aversity, and less interest in work security in this time in their lives, so they will take jobs with less benefits, lower (these jobs are usually non union) wages, and less stable than more established companies which populate our S&P 500 group of corporations. These people are more manipulated by the promise of wealth of exercising options in a 'rising market' and will trade a better paying,more secure job with better benefits for a promise through working for a company that unfortunately is validated by the deceitful, racist globalism ploy. Moreover, many of these companies avoid unions and so going forward, a different, cheaper employee cost structure exists for management in those sectors.

As the better paying, better benefits in jobs with S&P 500 companies allowed by Congress through tax treaties to flee to foreign shores, PNTR, bashed tariffs and duties, more publicly traded companies' managements presume they have their operating strategy mastered to the letter, and in foreign societies employ people not contributory to the development of the American 'Brain Trust', while also not employing Americans in America that contribute and support the US brain trust of engineers, other scientists and mathemeticians. Meanwhile, 'free' trade also produces that pervasive 'race' to the bottom condemned by Senator Corzine, and most evident in the developed societies and economies, while seemingly desired by the reductionist, colonialist minded, as illustrated by that 'German efficiency' one could argue as evident with the nazis, and thus illustrative of the '4rth Reich' influence on contemporary American commercial activity.

In a very innocuous, yet revealing way, the authors on this book on international trade exposed the heart of the matter... that Corporate Management wants free trade to suit their own pockets, regardless of their employees, and elected officials want the lobbyists' wielding campaign contributions from corporate managements looking to line their own pockets. THE TRUTH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH (exporting ) DEMOCRACY, WHICH THEY HAVE TERMED TO BE SOMETHING FRIGHTENINGLY LESS THAN THE FRAMERS OF OUR REPUBLIC KNEW THAT WORD TO MEAN AND FOUGHT TWO WARS TO ESTABLISH IN THIS CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.

The ultimate waste of taxpayer moneys into management hands with much 'Free Trade' and the difference between our government gathering Constitutional taxes such as Tariffs, rather than having the Executive Branch take fruits of our labor with direct taxation aside from wage/salary/ and similar taxes, I would rather pay the Tariffs on imports I infrequently purchase so as to have back my salary, bonus, and returns from investments untaxed.

So, Qui Bono? The management interests paying their lobbyists, who make campaign contributions into political candidates and/or their campaigns benefit most from 'free' trade. Virtually always, management interests via lobbyists are looking for earmarked legislation that hammers down our Constitution, that pesky unspecified "barriers" to trade defined more specifically as duties, tariffs, and excise taxes coincidentally, indirect forms of taxation described in Article I Section 8 of our Constitution, our Rule-of-Law, and that to which our public servants pretend to take their oath of office to uphold. Note that the ordinary voting and share holding American is omitted as a benefactor, and actually indicated as disenfranchised, while lobbyists and corporate interests aggressively hammer down our Constitution so as to self-enrich and self-deal.

On what premises does 'Free' Trade exist, or "How-do-we-sell-this-to-the-huddled-masses"? "Comparative Advantage", and "an interdependent world" - double-speak expressions coined by economists and their corporate plantation masters, argue when a society has certain natural resources, these are its contribution back to the global economy. Those societies formerly under colonialism and in the reality of contemporary corporatism, meanwhile, remain subject to management and the developed societies attempting to pirate and control the world's resources for a select group. Let's call that group the 'Secret' or even the Corporate State, which never lets these commodity and/or 'developing' societies fully develop themselves to full self-sufficiency. An 'interdependent' world, meanwhile, in reality positions management - THE AGENT, THE MIDDLE MAN, to directly or de facto control everything. Recall the Middle Man, or the Agent, aka "Management" are those who originally were acting on behalf of the owners. Although the shareholders elect the board, senior management over perhaps the last 30 has controlled the nominating slate of directors - leaving the shareholders' representatives to self-deal and collude with management. With the past 50 years yielding an increasing number of non management, non-founder shareholders - uninvolved, absentee owners in the businesses in which they are invested via mutual funds, 401(k)s and other passive stock holdings - most fail to remain knowledgeable and active in the decision making of the company while also remaining ignorant and impotent in exercising more control left to the cozy dealings of management and their designated board of directors.

As a result, we see little arm's length decision-making at the board and senior management level, where the directors could mandate different operating strategies effectuated by management, including prohibiting management from siting abroad for the hidden agenda of accessing cheap labor regions, or hiring lobbyists and making large campaign contributions. As the American Wallet is the biggest and the most coveted by all global constituents, and our investment markets reflect this prosperity and history of abundance, management's disingenuous reasons for interest in foreign markets for their goods and services exists largely because via 'free' trade - import without Constitutional duties, tariffs, and excise taxes, as well as other taxpayer subsidized tax breaks, and programs in the form of 'export' insurance to insure payment to the exporter who may be exporting into regions incapable of affording the US good exported to it.

Both taxpayer and commercial bank funded, IMF and World Bank 'lending' into those vulnerable, often former colonial regions, frequently fund foreign crony purchases of those particular US military hardware and other trappings of western wealth, funds US corporate projects in those regions occurring largely to suit Western commercial interests in the resources in those regions while those indigenous peoples and citizens in those societies are left uneducated or under-educated, rivened with civil wars and other insurgent produced strife, etc.

So comparative advantage, as the reason for 'free' trade's argument by experts as benefiting the world, sadly prevents societies from self -sufficiency. The operative term in action acts merely as a source for cheap commodities and labor for managements' advantage.

The 'interdependent world' also parades its self as 'exporting our liberty', or 'we need to actively engage in the world so that they don't hate our freedoms', or so that they dont hate our 'way', or the most disingenuous - 'opening-up' foreign markets to our producers and goods. These deceits and frauds act as the mask of management's slick argument to cheapened the 'staff' and/or 'labor' costs on the income statement and pocket those cheesy labor 'saves', to continue to site abroad and shed labor unions which were/are a hated thing by the German and now American fascists whose influence on 2nd half 20th c. American commerce has come to us as the '4rth Reich' (Hartrich: "Fourth and Richest Reich" Macmillan, 1980, which describes German redevelopment there as well as here in the US after WWII, however, refers more to the deterioration of American private enterprise to a back-to-the-future mix of colonialisticness under the contemporized Anglo-American Crown). Compare the overlap and interaction of corporate interests with our elected and non-elected public servants, who appear to serve the corporate 'state' rather than we who elected them to represent and serve us in government. Management and the 'economy' operate above the law, while in reality, we even have the Uniform Commercial Code and state laws of incorporation to which Management and Corporate interests must answer, when they pervasively practice otherwise, let alone to force commerce to answer to rule of law we have with the Constitution. We are seeing cozy, crony-istic matrices which closely contemporaneously resemble the Nazi/german fascist state overlapped with British 'Empire', all largely achieved subsidized by the ordinary voters and non management shareholders.

How have we contorted our Constitution, where we seemingly have 'embraced' this disengenous form of commerce that not only violates our rule-of-law, but establishes a management operating strategy which is producing domestic economic deterioration, capital flight to cheap, labor regions to squeeze short term labor saves out of offshoring corporate offenders, and those saves when run through the income statement goosing it briefly for short term profits. Mexico and Latin America (NAFTA), now China with Permanent Normalized Trade Relations ("PNTR"). In this century, we could see it de facto with redevelopment of Japan, Taiwan and other previously cheap labor regions, be they former fascist societies or otherwise. Via the British influence in America after the 1820s, one could argue with De Tocqueville's analysis of 'Democracy in America', when he believed our lack of crime rooted itself in our pervasive practice and belief in Christianity and religion, perhaps where the faith in the 'Golden Rule', we could also source our prosperity in that conduct as well as respect and commitment to uphold the Constitution, including the indirect taxation and form of generating revenue for federal government described in Article 1 Section 8. With the American Revolution, the argument largely ceased regarding who controlled trade into and out of America.

At this point, however what occurred in American society that has given seeming impunity to corporate interests and their corruptions to operate above the law? We could begin with understanding the British Crown's and European banking interests' determination to re-control America. The British Crown produced the "Irish Potato Famine" and engaged in bringing the Irish to the States, which altered the demographics and cultural mix in the States at that point. Although some states had larger populations of Catholics than others, generally throughout society, education and literacy was high as well as commitment to American Government being to only government to which all Americans would commit, without acknowledgement of Roman Catholicism's seat of 'government' at the Vatican. The British Crown, in introducing what culturally altered the relative homogeneity in American Society, later, although abolishing slavery in Britain in the late 1830s, continued to advantaged itself with the use of Slavery in the American South, meanwhile perhaps continuing to use barter as its exchange mechanism in the trade it did with the cotton and sugar plantations.

Barter is an inferior exchange mechanism and economic model largely as it ties the weaker counter party to the more powerful counter-party, which isn't exchanging the money of account as the unit of exchange. Use of the money of account in the exchange for products liberates the receiving party to engage in trade and production/services with other counter-parties. It left the American South vulnerable to looking to maintain its establishment as its means for enjoying and establishing wealth when Lincoln and Congress opposed future slavery in newly formed states entering the Republic.

The British practice of 'Free' Trade failed to override our Constitution while we kept it, however, over the many years that our perhaps mortally wounded Republic never officially declared peace after the Civil War, which had us under a military provisional government, and it had/has left us vulnerable to the ignorance of the voter, the public servants elected and sent to represent us, but compromised in part as a result of the failure for Congress under the Constitution to officially declare itself in session on December 1st of every year, ANY YEAR, AS IT HAS NOT SINCE 1859, and has left control of the federal government into the hands of the corporate interests (Dessie Andrews www.PetitionForPeace.net). It was this status in part produced by the British Crown and perhaps the/part of the Faustian pact to which John Quincy Adams agreed when he went to Britain to negotiate their back-off from supporting the South in our Civil War, which Lincoln produced in part when sending troops to force South Carolina back into the 'Union', then bringing opprobrium of the other southern states, which only THEN seceded from the "Union" to assist South Carolina when it was militarily punished. The northern bankers and arguably the foreign bankers and foreign corporate interests still financed both sides of the war, however, we became the target of the European and British Elites' fears and ambitions to end the American Republic, conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that All Men are Created Equal, that in this society, all men shall enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

No imperialism exists in this Republic, no waste of voters' lives and resources, no federal assistance into private corporate fancies, interests, except for what appears to have been infrastructure development. Trade Promotion Authority and 'bi--partisan' ie, corporatist/ internationalist/ globalist domestic support among our public servants for 'free' trade and increasing statism we see illustrated forthwith. We must eschew every sort of contemporary colonialist/corporatist - 'shadow government' agenda which attempts and would disrupt our governmental system of Checks and Balances. Supporting 'Trade Promotion' formerly known as 'fast track', first gained during Ford's administration, then expired and re-proposed during the Clinton Administration (and as well as related 'trade' efforts such a NAFTA'S sister "Free Trade for the Americas") violate the system of checks and balances between the Executive and Legislative branches originally established in our government.

We should have cause for concern when Alan Greenspan, Colin Powell, and Charlene Barshefsky support Trade Promotion/Fast Track - and the umbrella Big Daddy - "Free Trade" - trade treachery and corporate management pork/welfare when one realizes the intentions. Although Ms. Barshefsky, Mr.Powell and Mr. Greenspan represent different constituencies, all share their membership in the "Shadow Government" and support corporate and special interests over those of the US electorate and the Constitution, and were not and are not subject to direct control by Congress and real scrutiny of voting citizens and Taxpayers.

Paul O'Neill verbalized their agenda to the Week end Financial Times, a London based daily financial newspaper - in its Saturday edition (May 18, 2001) Perhaps O'Neill thought only globalistic readers and the leaders who believe his comments are ambitious FT Week-end readers. Treasury Secretary O'Neill said that he wants to eliminate corporate income taxes, that the individual taxpayer would shoulder the heavier tax burden, the individual taxpayer now pays 80% up from 60% 20 years ago of 'income' taxes to the US government, and that able-bodied elderly can or should or would have to continue to work - as if in an adjustment to the current social security system. This is largely the shared agenda of Ms.Barshefsky, Mr. Greenspan, who calls us all 'consumers' and frets over the low savings rate, and perhaps even Mr. Powell, but time will tell.

Even Ms. Barshefsky and President Bush agree that trade 'endeavors' often are a form of diplomacy, and at a future point may become some sort of entry to treaties. This is actually a VERY backward way to conduct US State Affairs and Foreign Policy, as well as ignoring that Senate ratifies treaties, these which likewise it also negotiates.

Permitting the Executive Branch dictatorship, with only the President elected once every four years - this is THE TRADE PROMOTION PLOY - our public servants in the Executive Branch doing corporate management's job when the Executive branch negotiates corporate foreign counter-party relationships. Any allowance of the Executive Branch to develop trade and trade agreements, export licenses, and other US Gov activities with foreign nations on behalf of corporate management without any FINAL step-by-step oversight by our Legislative Branch -people who we elect every 2, 4 years THE VOTERS' BOARD OF DIRECTORS, primarily exhibits a group of people very absorbed with their own self-serving corrupt ends and desirous of its own agenda without the historical successful oversight, rather than historical respect of checks, balances, and responsibilities left us in word and THEME of the ideals embodied in the U.S. Constitution.

'Free Trade' and its bastard off-spring 'trade agreements', thus are management pork and thus are management pork and support more management dinosaurs than any subsidized industry. Free Trade does not benefit US citizens with lower prices, as management for themselves pockets the savings from: not having to pay duties and Constitutional Tariffs accompanying the imports, avoiding the higher US wage levels, where with 'free trade' the intermediary processes of US off-shore manufacturing and tax-havened enters without the cost savings passing to end prices and end users - the voters. The 'free trade' argument is to largely enrich management with the difference saved by eliminating Tariffs and duties while avoiding issues such as labor problems and commodities with environmental impact concerns. Meanwhile the national wealth is undermined and revenues to the government similarly are undermined from fewer tariffs and lower tax revenues from marginally and underemployed voters when the 'jobs' have been allowed to flee to tax havens and foreign shores via and into the corporate interests of those on the BUSINESS 150 ROUNDTABLE.

Another fantastic kudo for 'free trade' and supposedly 'trade promotion' also declares that it 'exports our democracy'. Trade promotion and 'free' trade no more exports our democracy than does exporting garbage and sewage for dumping. Further, the countries to which we allegedly are 'exporting our democracy' are corrupt, authoritarian/ totalitarian (fascist or communist), sectarian, class-stratified societies with national religions, whose people remain in virtually the same deplorable condition as they were 50 years ago, when many were under their former dictator or colonial powers and/or controlled by Roman Catholicism or some other national religion or national church.

This revisits another reason for the half-nelson propaganda to push 'free trade': many of the countries with which we are practicing 'free trade' are former colonies of developed nations and our corporations are merely replacing the former colonial powers that extracted resources and exploited the remoteness and underdevelopment of those regions and societies. In a de facto way, it puts money back into the hands of our allies by 'trading' and doing business in their former colonies. Our presence in these regions actually more destabilizes that stabilizes due to the instability and corruption in those rule of man governments combined with the nature of the 'development' in those former colonies: they had their own cultural development disrupted by European colonialism, and then again disrupted differently by US Corporate colonialism.

Results from today's retro-feudal, corporate welfare in the States and its international version in the manner of corporate colonialism (ie,"exporting our democracy" - siting abroad to lower labor and commodities expenses to give short term boosts to operating revenues) in underdeveloped regions include: civil wars which arise over strife from valuable commodities or water. Thieves armed and funded by corporate interests disrupt people who farm their land in these rural regions to relocate themselves elsewhere,leaving the valuable commodities for exploitation by financial backers of the armed guerillas (or conducted through an 'Iran-Contra' strategy). The span of examples finds Africa on the extreme end, with Latin South America on the other, as well as the PRC included. It uses a more creative form of control and destructiveness, however, against its people moving in unsanctioned forms of liberty and against the interests of that corrupt totalitarian regime.(I opposed PNTR and the plane incident and the deals to securitize the sour loans of its corrupt, failed banks continues to vindicate my assessment of capriciousness and irrationality of that absurd, wasteful, and mad government. I find it worse, however when my government acts as foolish as that of the PRC's.)

We are seeing little more than contemporized, state sponsored/supported, ie - fascist state/authoratarian - (British/European) colonialism, and 'free' trade was among ITS chosen ways of commerce.

Exporting White Collar Jobs - earlier post
"Exporting White Collar Jobs"

Aggressively I have promoted and supported the keeping of our Constitution and committing to our rule of law embodied in it. As a result, I have maintained publicly aspect of our Constitution which in statutes uses against all imported goods and services the practice of duties, tariffs, and excise taxes.

The Founding Fathers who wrote our Constitution also signed the Declaration of Indpendence and believed in the themes of the Enlightenment, and practiced these here in the US. The use of duties, etc against imported goods and services means we were committing to the engagement of each other's efforts and contributions of their goods and services in our society. If the 'wealthy ' wanted to pay more due to the duty on the import, they had the ability, but at least we were developing each other and meanwhile developing the wealth of each other and of our society, ALL OF THIS BY THE COMMITTMENT OF RULE OF LAW TO US, AND TO EACH OTHER. We bought property, houses, invested, saved, educated our children, ourselves. the liberty to continue to access this ability and the econonmy behind it however erodes under the following circumstances.

Done on the backs of the middle class and those of what one might also say the 'underclasses' - 'Free trade' and one could include 'tax relief' and the current Administration's interest's for its cronies for 'economic stimulus' as it were, practiced by colonist societies (and one could add corporate welfare societies of various sorts) whose wealthy had reserves of commodities and resources outside of their domestic societies, and as a result wanted to be able to import those goods (and services) into the domestic regions without being taxed, tariffed on them, and for the people under the tariff/duty scenario, might avoid buying those imported goods/services and depending on the influence those 'wealthy' in those colonist societies had on their governmental leaders, be it King, Parliment, or unfortunately now in the States, on the Executive Branch and sadly on Congress, things and related matters of 'trade'/commerce, etc dissintegrate to this as described.

One in analyzing the European societies that practiced colonialism, but in general considered the 'old world' sees practiced strong social contracts in 'class' and 'social' stratification not known or seen similarly here in the States, but sadly existing more here over the years. The people in the old world were and to a degree today are treated poorly by the upper strata in those societies, and when one understands the development of the 'welfare state' this can only exist with the favor of the wealthy and upper classes which have power with the governemntal bodies. Some demonstration of social along with financial committement to society, such as universal health care and/or retirement exists and at great expense under their tax scenarios; such actually disserves not only those in all levels of societies, it makes their companies more unbalanced with the levels of taxes they have to pay to support their welfare states, and resent in 'global' market place not having more for their managements, and higher profits to draw 'money-minded' and 'mercenary' investors.

As a result elaborate and carefully crafted arguements, etc management produces to the investment community to appeal to their 'wallets' to buy shares in those companies, while management is practicing its own economies by off-shoring production to cheap labor regions, passing some of the gains through the income statement to the pretax profit line, while pocketing the rest in what ever way they can.


Salaries are above the taxline, and so this is the part of the Bush administration's interest for itself and its cronies' pressure on our Congress for tax cuts, and pressure on our institutional investors to be patient for profits being cultivated in cheap/slave labor inclines costly to establish however in other ways to themselves, and those expenses too are above the tax line , thus increasing pretax expenses and reducing profits. I ONLY SUPPORT AND REMAIN PATIENT FOR PARADIGM CHANGING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT at this point. ANY CORPORATION PRACTICING RELOCATING/OFF-SHORING PRODUCTION/GOODS/SERVICES TO CHEAPER INCLINES, I REJECT AS AN INVESTMENT because of the social upheaval and disuse/decay of our most valuable natural resource, our own people and our brain trust and its development at present and for the future.

At first, with the fascists and their influence - these hated and continue to hate the unions, because the fascist types read 'communism' into unions, and resented sharing any wealth with the 'little people', especially those who had the guts to stand up to management which orginally in the societies that at one point were the owners who didnt want to share, except what they wanted to or had to share to keep competitive, and over the last 50 or so years have had most recent influence on our management practices in the US - initially sited in the US in non union regions such as the south and West. US management in turn are now generally responsible for the mercenary and 'globalist' interests of corporations mostly owned by American institutions, endowments, and foundations.

These globalist managements pay/say EXTRAORDINARY sentiments and notions about developing regions and peoples outside of the US and one could include the rest of the European/British 'Western societies', including Australia, New Zealand, And Canada. Notwithstanding the complete financial meltdown it means to the laid- off ordinary voter/ employee, and in time erosion of society due to violation of the Constitution, then similarly reflected in the grand scale commercial meltdown and financial/economic disease is today where we are, with promise to get worse if people don't start to vigorously oppose free trade and this bogus 'economic stimulus' package, as well as the corrupt expenditures of this administration.

WE must! WAKE UP AND SEE THE FRAUD, HOWEVER SENTIMENTAL AND EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT MAY PAINT IT, but it is complete and utter drivel, incredibly self-serving and only profitable as long as the Voters/taxpayers continue stay brainwashed, think that management and the 'think tanks' know best and continue to think in that dumbed down, little people mentality - generally alien to early post (American) Revolution society - now sadly which seems to support, and swallow the lies of 'free trade' now maintained by not only management, but also by the 'think tanks' and sadly now our Elected officials who are violating our Constitution and in turn, the public trust by engaging not only the corruption of partnering with the corrupt, and anti-Republic interests of management, but also with those who have power behind it and are looking to have more power and control over society - relying on these for campaign contributions.

U.S. Financial Firms Bank On Shipping Much Office Work Overseas
By Doug Tsuruoka

Tough times are driving U.S. financial services companies to have more office work done overseas. So says Andrea Bierce, a director at consultant A.T. Kearney Inc., a unit of Electronic Data SystemsCorp.

Bierce says banks, brokerages and insurance firms find it's cheaper to have back-office work like accounting and employee benefits done in nations like India and Brazil, where wages are lower than in the U.S.

Tech-savvy workers in such areas process, check, calculate and enter data. They send the data back to the U.S. home office via the Net.

Some firms also are shifting call centers to countries with English-speaking populations, like Canada, Ireland and India.

Sometimes U.S. financial firms open their own offices abroad. Other times, they farm out the work to an outside vendor, an approach called offshore business processing outsourcing.

"Financial companies say they're saving up to 50% on their data processing costs by going offshore," Bierce said.

Also pushing the trend is the availability of faster Internet connections and lower telecom costs in these countries the last few years. Bierce recently spoke with IBD about the trend.

IBD: Are lower costs the only reason U.S. financial firms are shifting office work overseas?

Bierce: No. A recent survey by A.T. Kearney showed 93% of respondents said it was to reduce costs. But 64% said it was to increase productivity. And 42% said it was to enhance service quality.

IBD: How big a role has the Internet played in getting U.S. financial firms to use offshore business processing?

Bierce: Increased Internet load capacity and other improvements in digital technology have made all the difference.

IBD: What types of work are being farmed out to offshore firms?

Bierce: Until recently, many offshore relocations were limited to data entry and transaction processing. But more players are moving a wider range of functions overseas. They include call centers, human resources, benefits management, finance and accounting, operations support and customer service.

IBD: Can you give some examples?

Bierce: Sure. General Electric has 5,000 workers in five locations in India. They started basing some of their back-office work in India in 1997. They plan to have 20,000 people working in the country by the end of 2003.

(Insurance company) AIG has offshore activities in the Philippines, Ireland and China.

IBD: What other U.S. financial services are part of this trend?
Bierce: American Express and Citibank are doing finance and accounting. J.P. Morgan Chase and HSBC are doing operations support and analytics overseas.

IBD: How much money are they saving?

Bierce: GE says for every dollar they spend, they save a dollar.

IBD: Aren't labor costs rising in countries like India? Won't this drive up costs for offshore business processing?

Bierce: A recent A.T. Kearney study shows labor costs to run a call center in India have increased 11.5% in the last three years. Total compensation for a software project manager has increased by 8.7% in the same period. However, when you offset that with reduced telecom costs and the fact that salaries for Indian labor are still so low, moving offshore is still an outstanding opportunity.

IBD: How far have telecom costs declined in some countries?

Bierce: Our research shows telecom costs have decreased by 30% in India the last three years. This is because of supply and competition in telecom services, market liberalization and privatization efforts.

IBD: Are U.S. financial firms worried their intellectual property and data security could be compromised by relocating some functions to nations like China?

Bierce: The privacy and intellectual property issues are two of the biggest deterrents for companies looking at China. But there are ways to offset the risk.
We know of a (foreign) insurer that does some of its offshore processing in China. This insurer offers policies to U.S. companies coming into China that protect them against infringement of intellectual property and breach of customer privacy. These policies help others mitigate the risks.

IBD: Has the war with Iraq (news - web sites) and 9-11 caused some companies to think twice about shifting office work overseas?

Bierce: The war in Iraq has slowed some of this activity. So has the outbreak of
SARS (news - web sites) (the severe acute respiratory syndrome virus) in Asia. But offshoring isn't a short-term strategy. It's a long-term strategy to fit a company's global business model and business strategy.

IBD: Can technology make it safer for a company to move some office functions overseas?

Bierce: Yes. Disaster recovery and business continuity planning is a big help

the internet and the PRC
I've hated our involvement with the greed-hegemonist chest-beating, ambitious, capricious, bloodyminded tyranny in the far east..... errrr, our 'strategic partner' in the far east by the name of the Peoples' Republic of China.

I vigorously opposed PNTR with the PRC and figured its disidents knew it for what it is, a lying, capricious, ambitious society viewing us as inferior, and we have been greedy fools with regard to our interaction with the prc, and keeping our profits there, viewing this as 'tribute' from an inferior people.

Few americans realize this was an absolutely foolish relationship with which we engaged, and although Stoessinger while at RAND exposed the PRC ("Nations in Darkness: China, Russia, America, 1970) for what it is, he left open the question if we should engage with the PRC. 2 years later Nixon and Kissinger went to China.

In a discourse in 2001 I had with PriceWaterhouseCoopers' top engagement partner who had returned to the west after being in the PRC for 5 years, we agreed on every one of my talking points which noted the sad and reasonably transparent truth to which he somewhat spoke and to which he agreed when I pointedly exposed the reality of our situation in the PRC. As a brit and with business being the business nazi/fascist policy of life as many of the elite (and contemporary "Crown") brits are so slick peddle, he believed in spite of the very bad news we discussed at the Union League club to a Foreign Policy Association gathering to which he spoke, we should engage with the PRC because, in effect, it's so big, when most of it doesnt really count for anything in comparison economically to what americans can do, and far less there count with regard to their wallet and voice than here... and for all the reasons - all actually quite negative - to which he thinks we should engage, to the contrary I think we should cut our losses and retrench domestically.

We're the biggest wallet in the world of which EVERYONE wants a piece. so if we are our own biggest wallet, we need to keep it for ourselves, re-establishing our own wealth, building up each other....this is part of what made us great...and as william penn believed, no man got wealthy alone... we are not for people who think us inferior, and that our commerce there (in the PRC) is tribute to them that they keep when they are violating contracts by doing such...

this all is a long, longer than a soundbit, newsday post.

our corporations early on had large losses there when we were looking for china to be an end market for our finished goods. we got hosed with the taxpayer and the nonmanagement shareholder eating the losses, while management and the prc boogied with our money....

And meanwhile, they kept our profits which to which they'd agreed was our split in the deals BY CONTRACT. THE PRC IS NOT A SOCIETY THAT WORKS BY CONTRACT. IT WAS NOT IS NOT A RULE OF LAW SOCIETY.. WITH OUR WRITTEN CONSTITUTION HAVING BEEN THE BEST EXAMPLE AT ONE POINT OF RULE OF LAW AND A SOCIETY THAT ANSWERS TO WRITTEN RULE OF LAW.

so we are building china, we are what makes that place hum with all of their cooly labor. but it's our taxpayers and americans buying cheap cooly produced goods that verves that place.

we need to stop vote american with our wallets and follow our Constitution and hit all imports with tariffs, duties and excise taxes. Art1,Sect8 of our Constitution. there is no argument for 'free' trade in our Constitution, even if one wants to parce it loosely.

this is a major soap box for me, but i warned mccain and the others to oppose pntr with the prc.. and mccain and the others thought it a big deal about the internet there; that the internet was 'freedom' there. and notice our elected public servants seem to prefer the word freedom to the word liberty which suddenly george bush seems to fancy. what's the scoop? I noticed he is also using the expression of ownership... as this new back to the future old piracy policy about social security into the rigged markets to line wall street's and corporate cronies' pockets.

delay, who i met at the convention in philadelphia in 2000... and when i had the opportunity to ask him why when he'd first opposed pntr why he sided with clinton about pntr, he said he went to china and saw all those entrepreneurs -and i saw this glow in his eyes.. i felt a little pity for him and knew what had hit him while there... I knew they targetted him for an OP, psi coolaid of the mindcontrol sort and that was it. they marched him around all those 'entrepreneurs' that the goons in the prc leave to act as some head fake and front of a developing 'market' economy so as to fake out the west....and he was unaware of what hit him and he supported pntr... i was glad to hear it for myself from the horse's mouth, and actually glad to meet him.

but if mccain thinks the internet is going to bring down the tyranny of the prc, what goes around comes around, and the internet will bring down the tyranny here.

why do you think tenet and wolfowitz think the internet here should be controlled? because people like me and the cia perp who feeds me info - often lies, but sometimes some workable info that wasnt anything that i wouldnt have figured for myself, or already knew but the perp and those on his end reminded me.... but when I emailed that tenet was with the cia from the beginning while the trade center was being packed with explosives i think which began during clinton's admin... and notice during the clinton admin, his cia director was changed 3 times. i think.

what a way to delay an op on your watch if you're president of the united states... change your cia director or let him get changed. i think clinton knew pnac, et al, were attempting to pull off the 911 op during his watch and he has contempt for the ordinary american, but thinks more highly of his legacy and his wife's future than he has contempt for the ordinary american and ambition for the new world order and the zionista/neocons and their creepy 4rth Reich cabal.

but the point of this email is that done in this realm what one sows, one reaps. if one lives down in this realm, one will be subject to it. and if they are hoping the web produces a change in china's government, they need to look at the bodies in their own back yard, such as the blood on the hands of the bushteam and all the dems and gop who are accessories or conspirators to the treason on 91101 at the wtc,not to mention the years of treason with the zionist israelis, the elite brits, the EU bilderberg arm, the money changers and soothsayers here and abroad on our wallets and on the ignorance of the ordinary american.

til the next time,
Ben Franklin Republican,
aka Andrea Psoras.

ps, Going forward, I will post what I have been promoting and crusading for years, and will respond as I am able to comments.
