How does America treat its veterans? An independent journalist specializing in the impacts of war, Aaron Glantz, provides a devastating indictment of the Bush administration for its blatant neglect of soldiers and its disingenuous reneging on their benefits.
In 2009 Aaron Glantz spoke at US Santa Barbara:
Book: The War Comes Home
The Hidden Toll of America's Wars
May 29, 2009 — "Five American soldiers died on Monday after being shot by a fellow soldier at one of the biggest American bases in Baghdad. Journalist Aaron Glantz says the story is tragic but not surprising. Glantz is a Rosalynn Carter Fellow for Mental Health Journalism at the Carter Center and the author of 'The War Comes Home: Washington's Battle Against America's Veterans.'"

Cathy: Praising The Lord for His carefulness over you.
What Kelly called "double agents', now is getting defined somewhat more clearly. Those who call Satan's workings the workings of Jesus.
The Esau lesson. Giving up one's eternal Father God inheritance for temporary natural works of Satan. e.g., The Christians for Jews. Going by the natural flesh & political structures, Satan's world system, and saying it is the workings of Father God.
This is blaspheming the Holy Spirit, The Sin Unto Death.
The speaker I listen to has coined the phrase "SUD". Those so called Christians, who are not really Trusting in Jesus,but are sold out to the World System in the form of the apostate church, are commiting the Sin Unto Death, SUD. "SUDs" characteristicly bother (give the evil eye to, gang stalk, etc...) the real Christians by trying to get them to conform to the apostate church mind control. Many of the harassments come from these false christians, and not from anti-Christ people or demons in general. These people draw the life energy from the innocent lambs. The observations we have made of certain persons that brings the question "are these people double agents?" are cases in point. The caution these days is to those who speak perfectly, you cannot fault them on their doctrine, but their spirit is not right.
Big names of this nature are Rick Warren and John Hagee, the Todd Bentley folks. And small scale are some persons I know that I wonder about. One lady in [city], I wonder if she has her Salvation because her social image attitude seems to be regular worldly. Another lady in [another city], who is sold out to the commercial church scene, yet would never join a church membership. Then, people can wonder about my behaviors of fear of "Big Brother" not being consistent with The Faith that Jesus tells us to have. Proverbs tells us to be prudent, that when evil abounds the righteous lay low.
I need to draw closer to Jesus.

"Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby many be defiled; Lest there [be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears."
Hebrews 12
"What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness."

Stumbling Upon Truth: No More Lies
One day I was looking for some information about Rihanna's song Russian Roulette back when it was due to be released. I had heard the song was receiving some flack from critics because of its message. They were concerned it would encourage young people to commit suicide. My research on that song was the start of my investigation on the real meaning behind songs, which led to my questioning other things that I had once supported, things that I had never bothered questioning and religious and political views that seemed confusing even downright weird. Since October 2009, I can tell you that I have opened one door only to find another door, open that one and then another and all of the doors lead to that pyramid that appears on the dollar bill!
My eyes are being opened everyday to the truth behind the lies. I never imagined just how many lies I have been fed from society, family, friends, strangers etc. about hard core values of just daily living! Oftentimes these so-called moral teachings have been severely hypocritical and judgmental. There seems to be "a believe whatever the teacher, the tv, your boss tells you" attitude and never question it. Well, I no longer subscribe to such teaching and as a result I have p*ssed off people both on and offline -- I won't feed into lies! As I write, a biblical scripture comes to mind, "For we are not ignorant of the devil's devices," 2 Corinthians 2:11.
So have fun uncovering the lies you have been fed too!
Know What You Are Watching & Why You Are Watching It
Often we watch television, attend movies, and sit in front of our computers watching Internet shows without thinking about the symbols in scenes, the images on clothing, and the hand movements of the characters. Children sit in front of cartoons with hidden messages that are sexual in nature. We don't say much to one another about what we see, because we are often too busy thinking about the next thing we would like to do. We don't normally question the validity of the information being given to us, because it isn't that important or we reason "I have better things to do." This is the attitude that people who are in control of your money, community and world want you to have, "I don't care." This is why unfair rules, regulations, bills, etc. get passed while you sleep, eat, and watch a show specifically designed to dumb down your mind. Those in power know very well the psychological impact of subliminal advertising, soft mind control and more. Meanwhile the Average Joe doesn't care what he is being fed in mind, body or spirit and that is why many die prematurely -- never living up to their full potential due to someone else controlling their mind and their money.
I posted the following video, because some of my readers really need to open their eyes and understand what messages they are being fed especially if they have children. Everything that is labeled "G" or "PG" is really not for children. The underlining messages are really there to entertain naive adults who are all too willing to follow whatever messages hidden or in plain site they are given. If you have a faith and you haven't been using it lately, now may be a good time to start putting it into action. God bless.

In this 1986 video, Norman Dodd states that the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Ford Foundation, Guggenheim Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation were involved in the intentional instigation of the United States into World War I. They also planned to mould world history through the explicit control of education in the United States. His allegations stem from reviewing the minutes of the Carnegie Institute and their explicitly stated plans.

Well this is not the same thing. Oil fire and oil spill is a different animal. Of course the number 11 is the tell tell sign I saw that movie if I remember right that show is about the end of earth and two kids get picked up by aliens and are taken to a new planet while earth melted away. It was really weird. I think it was bomb by haliburton to cause a crisis so govt cam take over oil instead of private companies. If it kills 1/3 of life in the oceans well we will wonder for sure what would be interesting is if there has been a documentary on oil spills recently or has National geographic did a write up on it

MSG is Making Folks Obese
Bewlow is an email sent to me this morning regarding MSG which is in more foods than we realize. After you scroll down and read this email, CLICK HERE to read more on MSG.
MSG (a slow poison).
Here's an interesting article that warrants a read.... better be extra vigilant in checking labels from now on ....
MSG (a slow poison) - Very interesting information for those who eat out often.
The food additive MSG (Mono-Sodium Glutamate) is a slow poison. MSG hides behind 25 or more names, such as Natural Flavoring. MSG is even in your favorite coffee from Tim Horton's and Starbucks coffee shops!
I wondered if there could be an actual chemical causing the massive obesity epidemic, and so did a friend of mine, John Erb. He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo in Ontario , Canada , and spent years working for the government. He made an amazing discovery while going through scientific journals for a book he was writing called The Slow Poisoning of America .
In hundreds of studies around the world, scientists were creating obese mice and rats to use in diet or diabetes test studies. No strain of rat or mice is naturally obese, so scientists have to create them. They make these creatures morbidly obese by injecting them with MSG when they are first born.
The MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates, causing rats (and perhaps humans) to become obese. They even have a name for the fat rodents they create: "MSG-Treated Rats."
When I heard this, I was shocked. I went into my kitchen and checked the cupboards and the refrigerator. MSG was in everything -- the Campbell 's soups, the Hostess Doritos, the Lays flavored potato chips, Top Ramen, Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper, Heinz canned gravy, Swanson frozen prepared meals and Kraft salad dressings, especially the "healthy low-fat" ones.
The items that didn't have MSG marked on the product label had something called "Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein," which is just another name for Monosodium Glutamate.
It was shocking to see just how many of the foods we feed our children everyday are filled with this stuff. MSG is hidden under many different names in order to fool those who read the ingredient list, so that they don't catch on. (Other names for MSG are "Accent, "Aginomoto," "Natural Meat Tenderizer," etc.)
But it didn't stop there.
When our family went out to eat, we started asking at the restaurants what menu items contained MSG. Many employees, even the managers, swore they didn't use MSG. But when we ask for the ingredient list, which they grudgingly provided, sure enough, MSG and Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein were everywhere.
Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's, Taco Bell, every restaurant -- even the sit-down eateries like TGIF, Chili's, Applebee's, and Denny's -- use MSG in abundance. Kentucky Fried Chicken seemed to be the WORST offender: MSG was in every chicken dish, salad dressing and gravy. No wonder I loved to eat that coating on the skin -- their secret spice was MSG!
So why is MSG in so many of the foods we eat? Is it a preservative, or a vitamin?
Not according to my friend John Erb. In his book The Slow Poisoning of America , he said that MSG is added to food for the addictive effect it has on the human body.
Even the propaganda website sponsored by the food manufacturers lobby group supporting MSG explains that the reason they add it to food is to make people eat more.
A study of the elderly showed that older people eat more of the foods that it is added to. The Glutamate Association lobbying group says eating more is a benefit to the elderly, but what does it do to the rest of us?
"Betcha can't eat [just] one," takes on a whole new meaning where MSG is concerned! And we wonder why the nation is overweight!
MSG manufacturers themselves admit that it addicts people to their products. It makes people choose their product over others, and makes people eat more of it than they would if MSG wasn't added.
Not only is MSG scientifically proven to cause obesity, it is an addictive substance. Since its introduction into the American food supply fifty years ago, MSG has been added in larger and larger doses to the pre-packaged meals, soups, snacks, and fast foods we are tempted to eat every day.
The FDA has set no limits on how much of it can be added to food. They claim it's safe to eat in any amount. But how can they claim it's safe when there are hundreds of scientific studies with titles like these:
"The monosodium glutamate (MSG) obese rat as a model for the study of exercise in obesity." Gobatto CA, Mello MA, Souza CT , Ribeiro IA. Res Commun Mol Pathol Pharmacol. 2002.
"Adrenalectomy abolishes the food-induced hypothalamic serotonin release in both normal and monosodium glutamate-obese rats." Guimaraes RB, Telles MM, Coelho VB, Mori C, Nascimento CM, Ribeiro. Brain Res Bull. 2002 Aug.
"Obesity induced by neonatal monosodium glutamate treatment in spontaneously hypertensive rats: An animal model of multiple risk factors." Iwase M, Yamamoto M, Iino K, Ichikawa K, Shinohara N, Yoshinari Fujishima. Hypertens Res. 1998 Mar.
"Hypothalamic lesion induced by injection of monosodium glutamate in suckling period and subsequent development of obesity." Tanaka K, Shimada M, Nakao K Kusunoki. Exp Neurol. 1978 Oct.
No, the date of that last study was not a typo; it was published in 1978. Both the "medical research community" and "food manufacturers" have known about the side effects of MSG for decades.
Many more of the studies mentioned in John Erb's book link MSG to diabetes, migraines and headaches, autism, ADHD and even Alzheimer's.
So what can we do to stop the food manufactures from dumping this fattening and addictive MSG into our food supply and causing the obesity epidemic we now see?
Several months ago, John Erb took his book and his concerns to one of the highest government health officials in Canada . While he was sitting in the government office, the official told him, "Sure, I know how bad MSG is. I wouldn't touch the stuff." But this top-level government official refuses to tell the public what he knows.
The big media doesn't want to tell the public either, fearing issues with their advertisers. It seems that the fallout on the fast food industry may hurt their profit margin. The food producers and restaurants have been addicting us to their products for years, and now we are paying the price for it.
Our children should not be cursed with obesity caused by an addictive food additive.
But what can I do about it? I'm just one voice! What can I do to stop the poisoning of our children, while our governments are insuring financial protection for the industry that is poisoning us?
This message is going out to everyone I know in an attempt to tell you the truth that the corporate-owned politicians and media won't tell you.
The best way you can help to save yourself and your children from this drug-induced epidemic is to forward this article to everyone.
With any luck, it will circle the globe before politicians can pass the legislation protecting those who are poisoning us.
The food industry learned a lot from the tobacco industry. Imagine if big tobacco had a bill like this in place before someone blew the whistle on nicotine?
We the public do not want to be rats in one giant experiment, and we do not approve of food that makes us into a nation of obese, lethargic, addicted sheep, feeding the food industry's bottom line while waiting for the heart transplant, the diabetic-induced amputation, blindness, or other obesity-induced, life-threatening disorders.
With your help we can put an end to this poison. Do your part in sending this message out by word of mouth, e-mail, or by distribution of this printout to your friends all over the world and stop this "Slow Poisoning of Mankind" by the packaged food industry.
Blowing the whistle on MSG is our responsibility, so get the word out.

"Adrenalectomy abolishes the food-induced hypothalamic serotonin release in both normal and monosodium glutamate-obese rats." Guimaraes RB, Telles MM, Coelho VB, Mori C, Nascimento CM, Ribeiro. Brain Res Bull. 2002 Aug.
"Obesity induced by neonatal monosodium glutamate treatment in spontaneously hypertensive rats: An animal model of multiple risk factors." Iwase M, Yamamoto M, Iino K, Ichikawa K, Shinohara N, Yoshinari Fujishima. Hypertens Res. 1998 Mar.
"Hypothalamic lesion induced by injection of monosodium glutamate in suckling period and subsequent development of obesity." Tanaka K, Shimada M, Nakao K Kusunoki. Exp Neurol. 1978 Oct.
No, the date of that last study was not a typo; it was published in 1978. Both the "medical research community" and "food manufacturers" have known about the side effects of MSG for decades.
Many more of the studies mentioned in John Erb's book link MSG to diabetes, migraines and headaches, autism, ADHD and even Alzheimer's.
So what can we do to stop the food manufactures from dumping this fattening and addictive MSG into our food supply and causing the obesity epidemic we now see?
Several months ago, John Erb took his book and his concerns to one of the highest government health officials in Canada . While he was sitting in the government office, the official told him, "Sure, I know how bad MSG is. I wouldn't touch the stuff." But this top-level government official refuses to tell the public what he knows.
The big media doesn't want to tell the public either, fearing issues with their advertisers. It seems that the fallout on the fast food industry may hurt their profit margin. The food producers and restaurants have been addicting us to their products for years, and now we are paying the price for it.
Our children should not be cursed with obesity caused by an addictive food additive.
But what can I do about it? I'm just one voice! What can I do to stop the poisoning of our children, while our governments are insuring financial protection for the industry that is poisoning us?
This message is going out to everyone I know in an attempt to tell you the truth that the corporate-owned politicians and media won't tell you.
The best way you can help to save yourself and your children from this drug-induced epidemic is to forward this article to everyone.
With any luck, it will circle the globe before politicians can pass the legislation protecting those who are poisoning us.
The food industry learned a lot from the tobacco industry. Imagine if big tobacco had a bill like this in place before someone blew the whistle on nicotine?
We the public do not want to be rats in one giant experiment, and we do not approve of food that makes us into a nation of obese, lethargic, addicted sheep, feeding the food industry's bottom line while waiting for the heart transplant, the diabetic-induced amputation, blindness, or other obesity-induced, life-threatening disorders.
With your help we can put an end to this poison. Do your part in sending this message out by word of mouth, e-mail, or by distribution of this printout to your friends all over the world and stop this "Slow Poisoning of Mankind" by the packaged food industry.
Blowing the whistle on MSG is our responsibility, so get the word out.
Over the years my opinions have changed but this will never change: Jesus Christ, Lord, God and Savior, died on the cross and rose from the dead to pay for my sin.
