Our ill culture’s

biggest story -

the looming death

of the Bill of Rights

Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

(Healingtalks) The biggest story Healingtalks has ever reported about is the current looming death of the US Bill of Rights. The immediate trigger is the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act, but there is far more to this.

Why the media blackout

That you practically don’t hear anything about this – except on the Internet – is indicative of the vast cultural and spiritual illness and corruption of our times. Every major newspaper, TV and radio station should be blaring non-stop about this story. Instead there is a blackout. You have to hunt for it. The main street media have been taken over which is what enabled Congress to be taken over.

This has happened quietly, ever since the passage over the Telecommunication Act of 1996. So in the short run this has been at least two decades in the making. That Telecommunications Act, amending the original one of 1934, allowed for the consolidation of media control and as a death-knoll for the spirit of America. Massing enough votes in Congress, this bill overturned the freedom of thousands of independent media outlets to present the American public’s real spirit, the spirit of 99% of the population having become dominated by the voice of the 1% or really much less.

Main Street news thus could be fabricated and almost completely controlled without challenge (except for later on the Internet).

This especially tried to put a tombstone of the spirit of the 1960′s or what had threatened the dominance of commercial forces. Now through this infamous Act, the elite of our nation gained the upper hand to enact their agenda for America, and for decades to come.

But this development was not just one of two or three decades making as in the chart above. It had really been four centuries in the making, and even more (if one considers the evolution of influences since Greek and Roman times)

Mislead by a corrupt 17th century vision

In my opinion, the root spiritual foundation of western civilization is by now itself ill.

This is why we face such ever more corrupt political and economic forces taking mind-control and overturning our otherwise spirited culture.

The fact is that for the past 400 years we have adopted a mechanical, machine-like,  spirit-less and essentially dead and unconscious vision of nature – as introduced with great naivete and at the same time huge arrogance and aggressiveness by 17th century European culture. So am I saying that what brought us computers, planes, cars, refrigerators, TVs and so on is a naive view of nature? This is only when misused in a deeply-penetrating way (which is what a universal view ultimately mandates and requires ) to then harm the core of ourselves. Modern chemical pollution accomplishes something akin.

That new vision, however, and as best expressed in the writings of Sir Isaac Newton, gained immense prestige and influence, enough to overturn the dominance of the medieval order, the Bible-led view that had stood its ground for almost two thousand years. The displacing Newtonian view was what inspired modernity as we know it.

Prior political order overturned at the same time

At first this involved an overturning of the rule of Kings and Queens whose power was delegated by the Roman Catholic Church (or via belief in the authority of the Bible whose truths were borne to light by the Pope and his emissaries on earth). Because of this loss of faith, it became thinkable and possible to eliminate the royalty, and in fact the royal family of Russia was murdered in one night on July 16-17, 1918, as ordered by Lenin.

And so there was the American, French, and Russian revolutions all of which fought for religious liberties, or for freedom from medieval despotic prior authoritarianism and thereby for a new order – for better or worse.

What led the spirit of those times, at least in America, appears on the brink of failure and collapse. In my view, that collapse was inevitable.

Why? Before answering that question, it is instructive to know how the overturning of the spiritual leadership of the biblical vision in more detail, and what was entailed in the new modern vision coming to dominance. For changes in belief precede the changes in our outer world.

New Heliocentric View of the Cosmos

How the new vision rose to dominance

The Bible, for almost two thousand years, had implied that we lived in a “geocentric” universe (the earth was presumed to be at the center of things) and as it was written in Genesis that  “the stars were created to shine upon the earth.” That ancient vision, and its long-held truths, suddenly became challenged by the discoveries of modern science that the earth really rotates around the sun. This was shown  via telescopes, and the new philosophies of the “Renaissance” offered to better explain how this happened via symbolic math formulas rather than biblical revelations as the supposed highest and surest authority for objective truth. The universe was suddenly moving like a GRAND CLOCK rather than via the Bible-described divine order.

E=mc²

That vision, which led the new way, upheld the universe moved like a Grand Mechanical Clock, in tick-tock or predictable fashion.  The underlying and justifying philosophy for this whole view was codified and expressed in Newton’s Principia Naturalis Mathematica. That book, rarely read but probably second only the Bible in the influence if its message offered to outline the essential and “true”  laws of nature – again being “supposedly” and everywhere mathematical.

Of course we are taught almost never taught to think these principles could even possibly be just “supposedly” mathematical. Nature was now absolutely mathematical in is unifying order. The title of Newton’s book was thus  translated from the Latin to read and express an arrogance that transcended any “supposedness,” namely as  “The Mathematical Laws of Nature.

With this new and exciting cosmic vision being grounded on an inner terra firma or bedrock, showing us a new way to the Oneness of nature (and via formulas like E=mc2) man had found an order of nature more certain than the Bible – and thus mroe to be believed in and followed!

Armed with this transcending knowledge, the Renaissance was born. This meant a “rebirth” of our culture out of the Age of Darkness, of blind faith, and again “supposedly” into the Age of Reason.

Belief in a vision “supposedly” no longer faith-led and no longer merely believed in

Humanity now had god-like truth to become Gods. In short, the new vision was not considered a faith-led view. It was absolutely true. It was objectively true. And only peers who adopted that view could be considered those who truly knew nature.

The mathematicians were thus called “natural philosophers.

But I have grown to become a renegade in regard to all such supposition, assured they were dead wrong – and death-ridden in their understanding in more senses than one.

It is my view that we really got a transferred faith to another false and ultimately dangerous illusion – one that is still followed unquestionably as we revered the truths of chemists, physicists, and astronomers -
no less than then.

The atomic view as not just a way of seeing nature, ideologically-led,

but as THE objective way – free of belief, free of any guide to artificially/synthetically reconstruct nature

Thus  Newton could make statements like the “atom” (the indivisible building block of nature and to parallel 1/1=1 as the building blocks of mathematics) formed the truest foundation of our world because that was “what God created on the first day of Creation.” If one reads carefully the literature of that time, the mathematical vision was affirmed by our senses but also justified by faith. This is because they really only could explain how but not why the universe had to be mathematical.

There was never a real overseeing explanation of exactly why – why thus to believe in the mathematical order as reigning universally and  to displace all other views including the Bible  It  was simply enough to know that math symbols could more accurately and predictably describe the movement of the stars. With that justification we could arrogantly extend that justified view everywhere in nature – no matter what the consequences were or where we found ourselves as a result. From that point forward we were to follow mathematical symbols and formulas, as unearthed in lab explorations, to wherever they might lead or mislead us.

But the misleading part was thought unthinkable. This is usually in the nature of a faith-born or belief-laden views

But what if that vision is indeed flawed and misleading? What if we have been fooled through a lack of a deeper understanding of what is consciousness and the interplay of beliefs with that consciousness?

Could it even be possible that for the last 400 years we have essentially been so vastly mislead, and by this hugest of mistakes and beliefs – that the consequences are now coming to roost, to haunt us, and to bring us to a very deadly black flowering and fruition – and endgame for life on planet earth?

In my renegade view, that is exactly what I see happening as the predictable outcomes of our course as we have lived through the 20th and now 21st century.

We face actually a spiritual lesson if you like. And from the ashes of that Newtonian vision’s failure – cosmically, micro-cosmically and socially, a far better understanding is possible, if humanity survives this lesson in foolishness of beliefs, arrogance and utter naivete.

Metastatic skin cancer                     Industrial air pollution

Welcome to the Industrial Revolution and our Modern Age

Then having discovered this again “supposedly” truer order, man’s rise to dominion over nature was now assured for all times. We were to enter a Utopian age of only unlimited progress, health and well being. We were to re-establish Eden.

This myth  then led all of humanity, including the later split between socialists and capitalists as two sides of one coin supporting the Industrial Revolution, its commercial, materialistic society and our overall modern age.

As one contemporary of Newton put it, “Newton knew more about the Cosmos than all of humanity combined,” and the Principia. though understood only by a select few physicists, was to be followed as a new faith that was not a faith.
Little did they understand that if we believe in any ideational or conceptual or symbolic order, we might foolishly recreate thereby rather than objectively discover the world by such means.

Architectural symbol for this same rise of a new spirit and vision

What replaced the medieval vision, the mathematical and mechanical, also became the root spiritual foundation of our  modern industrial and commercial culture – whether again led by capitalists following the American Revolution or communists following the Russian – as they both believed in the same root vision – just having alternative ways socially and politically to make it work. Socialism would free us from the tyranny of economic exploitation and capitalism from the tyranny of government.

Architecturally a good part of this is symbolized on Wall Street

There we now find a dwarfing of Trinity Church, built in the 17th century – and which used to be the highest building in NYC – with its steeple pointing to the Biblical God. Trinity was built by the Church of England and again architecturally this meant it represented the dominance of the medieval world over the Americas . George Washington knelt there to pray for an overturning of that order. He and his revolutionaries managed to do just that.

What has been the end result?

Now banking, insurance, brokerage, real estate and other commercial structures dwarf Trinity Church – as did Twin Towers before it came down. These are all boxy, linear, math-designed structures, forming a sharp contrast to Trinity’s medieval architectural design, and representing again new spirit of our modern world. Inside the new buildings we also find boxy,  linear, separate offices and separate office cubicles (all of which can be considered symbolic) and where grand social calculations are made by accountants and brokers.

With the leadership of a newly-introduced vision, human beings were indeed supposed to, in the depths of their souls, relate best to each other via money or mathematically – or in exactly the same way that Sir Isaac Newton told us the stars related to each other – and rather than as told by the revelations of the Bible . For the latter was no longer to be absolutely trusted.

Following Newton’s lead, his friend, Sir William Petty, became the first economist in England. Petty laid out a new math-bound, statistical guidance for the modern world, and in his book called Political Arithmetic. It implied that all of humanity should and again must relate to each other, along with nature, mathematically (commercially via money) to live in harmony with the new found divine cosmic order.

This was what Newton, Petty’s friend, had  supposedly discovered as the “natural order” of our cosmos – with its central or unifying paradigm being mathematics.

Four centuries later, welcome to the not only science but Wall Street-lead culture of our times.

I personally know that culture, and Trinity Church well, having chosen to live in the belly of the Behemoth for nearly a decade, and as president of two Wall Street securities firms.

The flaw must be deeper….and it is

Newton died a schizophrenic, which should tell us something about his inner vision not necessarily being so firmly grounded in the ocean of our inner consciousness.

The root flaw and corruption of that vision was not exactly what Marx and Engels pointed out in the 19th century (that the means of production were owned by just a few capitalists). The repairs done to the collapsing stock markets in the 1930′s and the rise of socialism and progressive or liberal movements to help labor, the poor and the middle classreally didn’t fix the same problem in the end.

We find a yet more extreme polarization of wealth and the markets near collapse,all over again – and as I would claim, predictably.

The great pacific garbage patch

Our socio-economic and political orders, rooted in the revolutions of the past, are not the only things on the verge of collapse. The survival of many living environments around the planet is being challenged. Rachel Carson back in the 1960′s  pointed out that there was this strange and apparent misdirection of the modern world that had promised us endless progress – namely that we were destroying our surrounding living ecologies. She wrote this as Carson herself was dying of cancer. But with all the fixes she proposed or a Carson-inspired environmental movement, decades later we actually find the sale of pesticides and herbicides are astronomically greater!

Our oceans, air, and land terrains are hugely more polluted and threatened then ever before, and increasingly so. Above is pictured the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, said to be twice as large as the state of Texas, and stretching a thousand miles. It is an ugly and toxic manifestation of our recreation of nature.

Thus the taproot flaw must, in my view, be deeper, far deeper – and it is! The mistake lies deep not on the surface, in what we do to create pesticides and herbicides, for example, but rather in the very adapting of the core vision as first polluting our minds, and then as a consequence the outer world surrounding us and the biology within of our own bodies.

Single greatest discovery of my life
one which explains the central flaw of our
modern vision, and how we can move beyond it

The single greatest discovery of my life has been actually several parts to this revelation. First I began to realize, after certain events in my life, that the root essence of nature is really what we experience as life – no matter how rare that might manifest as strongly elsewhere in the universe, and not what is mechanical.  Machines never occur naturally anywhere in pristine or untouched-by-man terrains. You won’t find a bicyle in a rainforest unless we have put it there.

How can what never once occurs anywhere naturally represent what occurs everywhere and always. Such a distortion of reality can only be the result of projected and artificial or synthetic beliefs.

So I discovered for myself that rather and instead what is again at the core of nature is life rather than what is mechanical But that is not the end of it.  What points to the mechanical and designs machines is mathematics. Or one could say that machines model the mathematical order of things. What then plays the same role in a life-centered view?

Planet Earth

If one watches the video planet earth, the common denominator in all of life is living awareness. We can use a still lengthier spelled out word for what is really a simple phenomenon, namely “consciousness.”

But this begs the question what is the root nature of math-symbols, their pointing paths, and likewise what is the root nature of consciousness – as these two views can guide us to two very different ways of perceiving all things.

In my youth, when my left-brain shut down temporarily after a stroke, and after having been a math prodigy,I learned that this consciousness really forms something special and at the same time precisely distinct – namely “the universal relationship of connection in nature or the principle of connection itself in nature” – connecting all of nature as One and thus forming the real and true essence of nature – not the illusion-born or surface appearing math-bound order that Newton envisioned, presupposed, and sold to the rest of humankind to follow.

I became , as you can see, a renegade, opposing the vision I had been taught to believe was absolutely true, and especially as a math prodigy. It was like deifying Ayn Rand, the great capitalist writer while working on Wall Street. I very simply grew to be no longer be sure that the mathematical vision of chemistry/physics/astronomy was infallibly true. I went further, much further to characterize the whole vision of Newton as essentially false when imposed upon the depths of nature, or as a powerful reversal illusion. This is why Nobel-prize winning physicists and chemists can come down with Alzheimer’s disease, because their math-bound vision doesn’t extend far enough – not to all the reachers of their inner world and for the guidance of their personal lives – rather than space ships to outer space.

Life being dedicated to healing and the raising of consciousness

Knowing this – that we live in a life and consciousness centered universe, and to the very depths of my soul, has led me to an endless stream of  very deeper and greater insights. The most important application of these insights are to he healing arts, helping myself and others heal from a variety of ailments.

Overall it has essentially taught me to revolutionize everything I know about nature and my own life’s guidance. It has led me to a life more dedicated to the healing arts and to the raising of my consciousness and that of others to a higher level.

Rather than making money on Wall Street

Imagine that natural healing comes about through the re-connection of our inner consciousness, our life, and that this is because the essence of consciousness is again a  universal relationship of connection.

A better understanding of consciousness, as the universal connective relationship in nature, then guides life to become more whole, more healed, more connected – and rather than, with the mathematical vision, to guide us to develop industrial technology and a fragmentation of vision.  All of my naturopathic wisdom on how to heal practically is based on this understanding – with a thousand and one derivative insights. The proof of this vision is actually in the healing arts as applied to depth, systemic, chronic ills – just like the proof of the mathematical view appears in its ideological home turf or when designing machines.

Among the most important and beginning insights, and with absolute certainty for myself is that we do not essentially live in a mathematical universe  – and not as Newton proposed, described and mathematically expressed. This is what physicists, chemists, and astronomers still follow in step. We rather live in a universe a life-and-consciousness centered universe, one that is  only superficially mathematical in appearance, but not so in its interior, permeating inner essence. This is why a living organism can break all of Newton’s mechanical “universal laws” of motion.

In fact Newton’s vision, with its reversal of what is essential and what is superficial,  is what has so powerfully corrupted our whole economic/political and cultural consciousness about our natural world and ourselves – especially where there is concentrated, centralized power to do so.

To concentrate attention represents separative consciousness, and the corruption of that attention thus happens with centralized government, and by monetary forces that concentrate their influence – causing representative of democracy to be separated from those they represent. We thus need more publicly funded elections to demonetarize the consciousness of our legislators. We need to decentralize government as much as possible, and to re-establish the vitality of local community governance, based on sustainable models of being truly at one with nature

Why don’t we really live in a cosmos whose essence is mathematical?

In short, we really need to overturn the highest truth of the Renaissance, the belief in an essentially machine-like world, just as the Renaissance overturned the highest truths of medieval times, the belief in a divine cosmos as described by he Bible.

Otherwise the road we are on and where we are headed, predictably, will destroy not a little but all of life on earth – because the essence of our central vision of the cosmos, when used to penetrate into the universal core of life harms and undermines that core essence of life. This is the same as a knife cutting a living organism apart. A cutting knife cannot be swung in all directions without doing harm.  The mathematical view, like the knife, cannot be swung in all directions as a universal paradigm. It is better used as a servant to the conscious, life-centered, and life-supporting views.

At present our culture leans in the opposite direction toward a most extreme dominance of mechanical view over life (symbolized by genetic engineering)- and which can only lead to our self destruction and the destruction of life on earth.

Still we are inundated with icons (culturally mythologized images) of both physicists who supposedly best and beter understand nature and similar icons (again culturally-mythologized images) of doctors with stethoscopes, who via mechanical view supposedly better undersand our bodies.

The latter view also sees the heart as merely a mechanical pump.

Why is this whole inspiration of the past 400 years, again what has led us to live in an industrial, money-dominated, and pharmaceutical-led “healing” culture, so flawed?

The following may upset those who studied physics and chemistry, if my words are taken seriously, and they are so meant to be.

Let us suppose that math symbols do not really point to the divinely essential order in nature. Where then do they point us?  This requires putting consciousness above the pointing path of these symbols rather than following obediently from behind or below, which  is itself a huge revolutionary step. What is the more objective, rather than mythologized view of the use of math symbols? What can we perceive when we consciously overview the pointing path of those symbols?

Remember that the 17th century came out of a biblical, or faith-led culture – a faith now transferred to the new math-bound view. There could never be something above God to judge God, and so too with math symbols as ultimate arbiters of reality.

Here we deny this claim and do put our consciousness above as it anyway forms the more real essence by which to perceive and judge our world.

What I have repeatedly seen – with what I call naked, right-brain dominant or raw-wisdom – is that math symbols clearly and unmistakeably and consistently point to certain directions that are not without biases,  The form the very highest (or most universal) inner pointing tools for how to separate all elements of consciousness. They are the naturally dominant means to then organize left-brain consciousness, the surface/separative and thereby surface-bound view. When we confuse what is seen as surface appearances with more a more depth view, we harvest illusions and become lost. This is what happens to dementia sufferer. They lose their way in the inner world of consciousness. This is what happens to right-brain damaged patients, who only have the use of the left brain, and thus and again suffer from dementia.

Because one cannot connect a vision of nature universally using universal abstractions of separation, the mathematical, the highest left-brain vision becomes itself demented. It is actually the most deeply irrational and ultimately consciousness-destructive and corrupting of visions – when deeply applied in the midst of living terrains. It does not really objectify perceptions. It does not deeply know or understand our life-centered world. This is why our healing arts are in a shambles and we have multiple, major run-away health epidemics in a consciousness-numbed culture.  The fasting growing of these health epidemics are all consciousness ailments – like diabetes, metastatic cancer and Alzheimer’s. With Alzheimer’s especially the consciousness is lost so that memories no longer connect.

All of the above is childishly easy to demonstrate

It takes no PhD or being a math prodigy to sort through any philosophic dumbo jumbo.

We miss the simplest of truths when covered over by complex algebraic or calculus formulas.

If three apples are separate, we can count them

But blend these same apples together to make applesauce, and we cannot count them any longer. Math symbols abstract universal separation – pointing to the opposite principles relative to what is life and consciousness. When universally applied with integrity, which is what the cosmic vision are bound to do ( and nowadays more so  to the tiniest nanotechnology levels) that view has to lead to a systemically undermining, corruption or ill consciousness and impinging of life. This becomes a profound insight, why our modern world must change its course if we are to be rescued form our stranded straights.

Thus we cannot do the following:

• Build a consciousness uncorrupted culture led by a math-bound vision – If consciousness is the universal relationship of connection in nature, then you predictably and ultimately undermine cultural consciousness via the dominance of a math-bound view of nature to her deepest depths.  Why? Because conscious is again the opposite universal relationship of connection in nature, and inside of us! Again there is hardly a more revolutionary statement to make than to say that we undermine the integrity of consciousness through a universal mathematical vision, rather than the claimed opposite stance of the Renaissance.  Is this just my fantasy, without any basis in our senses? No one can see this reality in our consciousness challenged culture, and in how nursing home patients fed multiple, math-designed drugs walk the halls like near-dead zombies. One can see this insight in how money can corrupt consciousness.
  
  Mirror reverse image  or reversal illusion
• But the mathematical view does seemed to work Doesn’t it? - At first a math-vision-led culture will seem to make great progress as the vision is applied more superficially – and where it best applies. But later, the same guidance can and will pollute and destroy living nature and the essence of living nature, again corrupting and harming its consciousness. That has been my own overall, life-long insight. The reversal illusion is universal, and between the surface and depth or superficial and essential order of nature. It is like a mirror image reversed, apparently true with a trillion details but at the same time false. This also happened with the reversal illusion of geo- and heliocentricity. Reversal illusions in general are the most powerful, griping and addicting of illusions, why when uncovered this can be shocking and can engender “re-volutions” in thought. Here the reversal illusion of he math-bound view  is of much greater significance than the geo-helio reversal, whose discovery catapulted us into the modern world. It is the ultimate and most difficult of  illusions to pierce – the quintessential mistaking of surface appearance for depth truth.
  
• Thus an allopathic doctor will initially suppress consciousness-surface symptoms to make it appear that he or she is healing a disease. But eventually it does not heal when systemic. What his or her drugs will do is harm life yet more with so-called “side-effects” which are really main effects. This is why there are no chemical cures for Alzheimer’s disease. The order of inner consciousness and that of life again class oppositely with the math-bound order. We intuit this when whatever is mechanical is anathema to creative/conscious life.
•  We feel it with conscious pain when our bodies are cut apart, or  rendered to become like machines which they are not. Machines are made of separate parts, we and all living things are whole organisms connected via our consciousness, the universal connective relationship. We feel pain as that consciousness rushes to a site of any tear, rip or cut.
• This is why a large random mix of chemicals thrown into a compost heap destroys the life of the heap or forms a super-toxic waste site. The same happens ecologically on a wider scale. The very same also happens deep inside of us as we ingest synthetic chemicals, being lured by the marketing pressure  and consciousness deceptions of giant pharmaceutical firms. To avoid this view, these pharmaceutical companies test drugs in lab-created environments of separatetest-tube isolations. They don’t test the mathematical view as a connected whole, as with the example, of the compost heap, because that would challenge and undermine their science.
• I know all the arguments about positive uses of math and science – Positive uses exist and have validity. But the validity is surface limited, rather than universal or all-integrally and depth true. The vision profoundly lacks integrity and was not well thought through. Yes we can use a thermometer, for example, to measure exactly how far there is a departure from a point of temperature balance. But again, these are double negative applications- to use what is separative consciousness to get back to what is connective or a point of balance. If we alternatively or directly force that separative vision onto the essence of nature, the same life that is helped will be lethally harmed and even to the point of mass extinctions. We see this looming threat on the horizon with many developments, the proliferated of atomic weapons, the ever expanding chemical pollution of our planet, and the rising genetic engineering and nanotechnology applications.
  
  
• Discovering the ultimate depth essence of nature -The real essence of nature has to be what integrally connectsall things.  It cannot be what universally separates all things – no matter how much I would like to follow the lead of Newton.This is similar to chocolate being the essence of a chocolate bar. That essence is not represented by what is on the wrapper of the chocolate bar. It is rather represented by what is inside and connectively throughout. Mathematics remains ever the abstraction of how to separate all elements of consciousness.
•  When we separate things, we form surface appearances. We cut an apple apart, and surfaces appear which then also start to brown and to decay. The latter, the universally separative understanding, on an inner  level, similarly starts to corrupts the universally connective, the more conscious understanding. This is the understanding of nature that lies in between the slices of light that a microscope isolates or separates as 1, 10x, and 1000x. As you cannot glue things together with a chainsaw, you cannot connect a vision of nature with chainsaw symbols that mislead us to cut all perceptions apart. Rather with a universally separative vision of nature, you can best build atomic weapons to destroy the Earth and we can create the means to pollute all of our planet’s living, conscious terrains – without exceptions.

In short, we have been misguided grossly for 400 years

It is paradoxical that the vision which created democracy and lands of liberty and a modern science of nature is also what is now undermining those terrains, as highlighted on a special anniversary date.

Just 210 years ago, on December 15th, 1791, the Bill of Rights became the law of the land. Now we see an overturning of that Bill of Rights on Dec 15, 2011!

But understanding what was presented above, this process has been an inevitable and twice as long-run development (400 years, two hundred past the enactment of the Bill of Rights).

The early fruits of the Industrial Revolution were again, what we can best might call double-negatives which equal only superficial positives – and to be undermined latter as the vision is ever deepened applied and expanded. Thus machines negated and replaced mechanical chores, a double negative that yielded a superficial positive – including a short-term abolishing of slavery. This is why the Renaissance vision was treated with such huge excitement – with the thrilling belief that it would only lead us to endless human progress and the glorious conquest of nature – including our human nature.

Sir Isaac Newton never imaged McDonald’s innovative mechanization of food delivery and what that would do to our health; or Monsanto’s mechanization of what is at the core of life and what it would do to threaten life all over the planet; or Fehmi’s invention of formulas that led to the building of atomic weapons – based on Cartesian coordinate formulas, a vision of space infinitely separated or exploded. Newton never imagined the creation of a Bill of Rights and its later shredding. Blind belief in an order does not yield wisdom or foresight.

Thus a far deeper application of the very same root Newtonian vision, has mislead and misguided us toward a wholesale destruction of life, of free-will and ultimately of cultural consciousness – or a far greater and deeper eventual slavery of humanity.

We are on that doorstep. Make no mistake about it. We have arrived at that doorstep.

What we visualize, we always create

We are ultimately responsible for the world we have created it. And not until we change our root inner vision, or what has led us to where we are today,  until we green our inner consciousness and not just our gardens, our outer world will continue on this very same path to the very same ends and unstopped.

What we visualize inside of us, we materialize outside of us.

That is the ultimate law of consciousness and the ultimate challenge.

Greatest story of our times

And so the story unfolds that on December 15th 2011, the US Senate, following the US House of Representatives, passed the National Defense Authorization Bill.

It is a bill that totally historically guts the Bill of Rights.

It is a bill that ends the dominance of the spirit of 18th century America.

The founding fathers were wise but their efforts were not enough to withstand the evil potentials of government and its dominant economic forces. They still underestimated the power of those forces to undermine their noble efforts – to withstand the ever greater evolution of a commercial-dominated culture which we’ve seen in our times.

The real terrorist attack

This new NDA Act destroys the liberty that Americans have fought for, for at least two hundred years. It is the ultimate terrorist act or overturning of our nation.

It allows for the arrest and indefinite detention of any US citizens who are just accused of being a “terrorist” – without the necessity of any trial or proof.

Building 7 Demolition Though Never Hit by a Plane

The fake terrorist attack

This has been enacted during a time when the whole “War on Terror” was fabricated by the Bush administration. The notion that three buildings came down on Wall Street due to a terrorist attack of two planes, and within seconds or in demolition fashion is a public IQ test.  It is also a test for how far mass consolidated media can distort and recreate Orwellian reality.

No loin-skill clothed Afghans could ever have challenged a trillion-dollar-a-year-spending military and its air defense system.

Norad, that air defense system, was ordered to be shut down on 9-11. The only true accounts of what happened can be found on the Internet.

Then came the passage of the “Patriot Act” – which the whole primary purpose for staging 9-11.

And now comes the ultimate follow up, the NDA Act – the end game of killing American democracy.

I came from Nazi Germany

Those criminals in our culture who have staged 9-11 studied what happened with the burning of the Reichestag that thus led to the destruction of democracy in Germany.

My family was a survivor of Nazi Germany only because my father read Mein Kampf and saw what was coming. We live in times, that is in an age of drones, where there is no where any longer to run to. So we are forced to remain and stand up to the forces of our times and via an infowar – letting the truth come out.

Hanging together through these tough times

Our commercial culture has created a new brave world were we live ever more separately and in zombie-like ways, dumbed down by drugs and TV addictions. Also the single person living alone has become the highest rising social statistic of our commercial times. This evidences still further a disintegration of society. But ultimately the pendulum must swing the other way.

As Benedict Arnold once stated, and this applies powerfully to our times. a time of deep cultural illness and corruption,…. we must now either hang together or else hang separately. We need to create new local and intentional (conscious) community structures – to rebuild our world out of the ashes of the modern.

After the NDAA’s

shredding of the Bill of Rights

the Internet is next

Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

(Healingtalks) Normally we write just about health issues. However, certain recent political developments are so threatening to the freedom of our culture that they affect the health of all aspects of our lives.

When it comes to politics there is an elite in control. And what has spooked that elite of our country the most?

It is not difficult to figure out.

Trying to control the collective mind

Back in the 1960′s there was a very powerful cultural movement that threatened the soul of modern capitalism. To remedy that threatening climate, bills were soon passed to consolidate control of all the media, setting the  stage for an essential killing of America’s spirit. The aim was to guarantee that a 1960′s style or unconventional cultural revolution would never happen again. That effort was highly successful, and has held its ground for nearly four decades. But just as flowers and grass dare to eventually grow through the cracks in cement sidewalks, something new and alive is popping up that threatens to overturn this apple cart.

It’s the freedom of the Internet.

The power of Internet freedom

We have seem its power of the Internet in the Middle East, helping to overthrow authoritarian governments.

Make no mistake about it, the elite in America have gotten the message, and quite a long time ago (considering that they began to build FEMA camps over a decade ago).  Their plans have accelerated to retake control in 2012.

This  includes the provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to allow for indefinite confinement of US citizens just by being accused or suspected of being a “terrorist”

Attempting mind control

A follow up thrust is a bill called SOPA in the House and a parallel bill called Protect IP Act in the Senate.

Thus what began as an attempt to restrain foreign piracy on the Internet has totally changed into a bill to essentially kill the Internet’s freedom. Make no mistake about it. This is a criminal piece of legislation. Congress no longer represents the American people when passing legislation. It represents lobbyists and corporate influence, no matter how malevolent.

Why Congress is moving so quickly on these bills

The answer is simple. If they don’t, and in as little as a year, the elite will lose out big time.

Movements like the citizen effort in California to put on the ballot a bill to label genetically engineered foods will set a trend that will eventually bankrupt Monsanto.

Such uncontrolled public efforts, circumventing Congress, are scaring the daylights or freaking out the elite.

They want to retake and maintain full control. But because their thrust is so malevolent and evil, this time it will require violence.

The combined effort of NDAA’s unlimited detention law, the building of FEMA camps, and now the SOPA/IP Act’s attempt to destroy the Internet – these are all part and parcel of the same big picture to retake control.

SOPA and IP Act thrusts to destroy Internet free speech

Thus the proposed legislation would be an Orwellian power grab by the U.S. Justice Department to be able to shut down any Internet site it wants to, and by fiat. All the “Justice” Department has to do is claim a site violates this law. As with the National Defense Authorization Act, the accusation, without trial,  suffices to criminalize the target. There will be no due process in the Courts. It would establish an unbridled “thought police and set a worldwide precedent.

A mere accusation is enough

Again under the proposed legislation, a mere accusation shuts down a site, supposedly because it unlawfully featured copyrighted content.  The accusation need not be proven or even accompanied by probable cause.  This is similar to how the FDA is threatening and has successfully put out of business natural supplement companies.

Again, all that the government accuser has to do is point a finger at a website and it is dead.

Financial death too boot

Additionally, the bills grant regulators the right to choke off revenue to the owners of these newly classified “rogue” websites by accusing their online advertisers and payment providers as co-conspirators in the alleged “piracy.” Again, no finding of fact would be required – the mere allegation of impropriety is all that’s needed to cut the website’s purse strings. The bill would threaten to make linking illegal, except for the linking from and to government approved (or not disapproved) sites.

Who’s vulnerable to this legislation?

Just about all websites. The bill would criminalize sites like Youtube or even Facebook. The penalty for posting “copyright” material is 5 years in jail!

Don’t be fooled these bills are not at all about protecting copyrights any more than the Clean Air Act was about clean air.  The latter was about allowing for more pollution. Know the difference between a pretext and the real reason a bill is being passed.

SOPA and the IP Act are the equivalent of curing a headache with a guillotine.

If they go through Congress, kiss goodbye to America’s freedom of speech. Know the ulterior and clear motive has really absolutely nothing to do with copyrights. There are enough laws on the books for that already. The real goal to kill freedom of expression that is threatening the elite

Wake up American and the world.

National Defense

Authorization Act -

greatest threat

to civil liberties

Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

(Healingtalks)  December 15th (the  day this article was first posted) was  the 220th anniversary of when, in 1791, Congress entered into law The Bill of Rights. This represented the soul of America, what brave men and women fought to defend – our liberties. All of that is about to be overturned, no kidding. This is no joke. Besides the fact that the US government has built around 1000 detention centers around the country, and is now staffing them, a friend tells me of another friend in the military who is disgusted about how troops, returning from wars like Iraq, are being trained to turn on the American public with lethal weapons. Again no kidding. This is no joke. How I wish this was just fear mongering.

Forbes details the legal framework behind this development.
________________________________________________________________

If Obama does one thing for the remainder of his presidency let it be a veto of the National Defense Authorization Act – a law recently passed by the Senate which would place domestic terror investigations and interrogations into the hands of the military and which would open the door for trial-free, indefinite detention of anyone, including American citizens, so long as the government calls them “terrorists.”

So much for innocent until proven guilty. So much for limited government. What Americans are now facing is quite literally the end of the line. We will either uphold the freedoms baked into our Constitutional Republic, or we will scrap the entire project in the name of security as we wage, endlessly, this futile, costly, and ultimately self-defeating War on Terror.

 Over at Wired, Spencer Ackerman gives us the long and short of things:

There are still changes swirling around the Senate, but this looks like the basic shape of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act. Someone the government says is “a member of, or part of,  al-Qaida or an “associated force” can be held in military custody “without trial until the end of the hostilities authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force.” Those hostilities are currently scheduled to end the Wednesday after never. The move would shut down criminal trials for terror suspects.

Indefinite detention

But far more dramatically, the detention mandate to use indefinite military detention in terrorism cases isn’t limited to foreigners. It’s confusing, because two different sections of the bill seem to contradict each other, but in the judgment of the University of Texas’ Robert Chesney — a nonpartisan authority on military detention — “U.S. citizens are included in the grant of detention authority.”

An amendment that would limit military detentions to people captured overseas failed on Thursday afternoon. The Senate soundly defeated a measure to strip out all the detention provisions on Tuesday.

So despite the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee of a right to trial, the Senate bill would let the government lock up any citizen it swears is a terrorist, without the burden of proving its case to an independent judge, and for the lifespan of an amorphous war that conceivably will never end. And because the Senate is using the bill that authorizes funding for the military as its vehicle for this dramatic constitutional claim, it’s pretty likely to pass.
I seriously don’t care if you’re a liberal or a conservative or a libertarian or a Zen anarchist. So long as you aren’t Carl Levin or John McCain, the bill’s architects, you can join the Civil Liberties Caucus. Spencer writes:
Weirder still, the bill’s chief architect, Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), tried to persuade skeptics that the bill wasn’t so bad. His pitch? “The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States,” he said on the Senate floor on Monday. The bill would just let the government detain a citizen in military custody, not force it to do that. Reassured yet?

Civil libertarians aren’t. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) said it “denigrates the very foundations of this country.” Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) added, “it puts every single American citizen at risk.”
This is what I mean: Give me Rand Paul and Al Franken any day of the week over the Levins and McCains of the Senate. We need more elected officials with the sensibility of Ron Wyden or Al Franken* on the left, or Rand Paul on the right. Right and left are such shoddy, ad hoc descriptors these days anyways.

What’s truly at stake when we start talking about Big Government and such is far more dangerous and preposterous than high marginal tax rates.

Stripping away our freedoms

We’re talking about the stripping away of our most basic freedoms. We’re talking about a potential state that can call me a terrorist for writing this blog post and then lock me up and throw away the key.

What’s the line from Batman? The night is always darkest just before the dawn. I like to think that’s true, because times seem awfully dark these days.

* Update: Actually, Franken voted for the NDAA so never mind. He’s also sponsoring the PROTECT IP Act which would clamp down on free speech online.

to action -

Ron Paul warns of

real harms to America

Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

(Healingtalks) A healing blog normally is focused on giving you the means to heal yourself, and to ward off the external threats to your health. But there is more happening to our world that can upset our well-being than just a virus.

When I came to the US  from Germany some 50 years ago, my family were the lucky survivors of the war. This was when America was the land of the free and the home of the brave – a refuge for those seeking shelter from political and religious tyranny. When my uncle came to the US, shortly before us, he kissed the ground. We all worshiped the Statue of Liberty

Who’s not aware that lots has changed in America?

Lots has happened since, and the change is about to accelerate. If you are not aware of sinister elements of the US government that are preparing for marshal law on our soil – you are not entirely with it. My dad saved his life in 1939 when he read Hitler’s Mein Kampf and knew something evil was amiss. He fled to Poland, then Russia and survived the war. Without his foresight, I would not be alive to write these words.

Germany was then a full democracy. It was also a “high culture” as well-  the land of Goethe, Beethoven and Mozart. People said it just couldn’t happen there. Then, like the demolition of Twin Towers, came the burning of the Reichstag and the abrogation of liberties, supposedly to protect Germans like the Patriot Act. Heimland or Homeland Security was initiated there as here (ring a bell?). Many of those who refused to believe this all was happening, especially among Jews, died in the camps in the millions. It may seem unimaginable for something similar to be brewing.  But a criminal elite in our country has recently been freaked by the rapidity of Middle East uprisings, unseating tyrants, and by the freedom of information of the Internet, and more recently by the  Occupy Wall Street movement. They are taking it seriously.

Thus they have vastly accelerated a plan, more than a decade in the making.

More than just threatening marshal law

When the banks, who pull the strings of Washington government, demanded a bailout as their right, when some Congressmen balked, they threatened marshal law. The banksters are doing the same in Europe now, threatening marshal law if the Euro collapses. But the threats in the past were empty because they weren’t prepared for it, not as yet.  As unbelievable as it sounds, they have been systematically planning for it, and soon these banksters who tell Obama, what to do and when, will be ready. Thus we are close to facing times like the demise of democracy in Germany. Don’t kid yourself, thinking that such a view is just one of extremism and unfounded.

Wake up America. Smell the REAL detentions camps that FEMA has already built to house millions of Americans all over the US, 800 camps built under contract by Haliburton beginning in 1999. Now for the first time these are openly being staffed for emergency 72 hour activation. If you are at all spooked, it is a time for a call to action. Should I mention some really have ovens and a store of 500,000 plastic coffins. Now that would be too much to mention.

Legislative key to Americans occupying the camps

The legislative key for operating and occupying these camps is the ‘indefinite detention’ provision’of the National Defense Authorization Act. It is set now been rushed for a vote in the House and Senate. It is an open and dangerous step to establish full martial law in America – and basically to shred the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.

Speaking with the Alex Jones Show today, Congressman Paul went on the offensive against the bill, which is set to be signed into law by President Obama later this week.

Battlefield of NDAA bill – Section 1031

Section 1031 of the NDAA bill, which itself defines the entirety of the United States as a “battlefield,” allows American citizens to be snatched from the streets, carted off to a foreign detention camp and held indefinitely without trial. The bill states that “any person who has committed a belligerent act” faces indefinite detention, but no trial or evidence has to be presented, the White House merely needs to make the accusation.

Paul said he saw significance in “the announcement and the arrogance of it all,” making reference to the Obama administration’s claim that it can now assassinate American citizens anywhere in the world and noting that the passage of the NDAA bill is an effort to codify the policy into law.

This is the biggest news of our times

“This is a giant step – this should be the biggest news going right now – literally legalizing martial law,” said Paul, noting that the subject did not come up at all in any of the Republican debates.

The Congressman also decried the “arrogance” of an attempt to push through via a voice vote an amendment that would have still authorized indefinite detention even if a detainee was found innocent after a trial. The amendment was narrowly defeated by his son, Senator Rand Paul.

“This is big,” emphasized Paul, adding “This step where they can literally arrest American citizens and put them away without trial….is arrogant and bold and dangerous.” Despite speculation that the Obama administration would veto the bill, it emerged yesterday that it was the White House itself which worked to remove language from the bill that would have protected American citizens from indefinite detention under Section 1031.  The administration has been working with lawmakers to alter a separate provision, Section 1032, which pertains to the military being required to take custody of individuals.

With the administration’s concerns over Section 1032 now largely resolved, a revised and final version of the bill could be signed into law before the end of the week. “The conferees said they plan to bring the bill to the House floor for a vote as soon as Wednesday afternoon and to the Senate soon thereafter,” reports Politico.

Despite the revisions, the bill still contains language that allows Americans to be detained without trial at a detention center anywhere in the world.

Legislators are intentionally misleading Americans

Republican Congressman Justin Amash has again warned that lawmakers are attempting to mislead the American people by claiming U.S. citizens are exempt from the most dangerous provisions of the bill. “Pres. Obama and many Members of Congress believe the President ALREADY has the authority the bill grants him. Legally, of course, he does not. This language was inserted to keep proponents and opponents of the bill appeased, while permitting the President to assert that the improper power he has claimed all along is now in statute,” writes Amash.

“They will say that American citizens are specifically exempted under the following language in Sec. 1032: “The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States. Don’t be fooled. All this says is that the President is not REQUIRED to indefinitely detain American citizens without charge or trial. It still PERMITS him to do so,” warns the Congressman.

Super-urgent call to action

Amash is encouraging Americans to contact their representatives and sign a petition expressing their opposition to the NDAA bill, calling it “one of the most anti-liberty pieces of legislation of our lifetime.”

US Constitution repealed

by frightening new law

Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

(Healingtalks) You might the headline is just a cute joke but unfortunately it isn’t. The mainstream media doesn’t want you to know any of this story, even though it is one of the most important we have ever reported on, since our inception. It affects everyone’s health as well as liberty and free rights to pursue happiness.

Literally repealing the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights

The US Senate jus voted, as part of the National Defense Authorization Act to essentially repeal the Constitution and its Bill of Rights. The law authorizes the U.S. military to operate on U.S. soil, conduct secret kidnappings of American citizens and throw them in secret military prisons. There they can and will be “legally” tortured, interrogated and even murdered.

Welcome to the NEW AMERICA

All that is required to become a detained outcast from the NEW AMERICA is the accusation that you are somehow linked to “terrorism.” There is no definition of that term, no due process and no evidence required. This has already been voted on by a traitorous U.S. Senate, led by Republicans like Sen. John McCain who should, due to that vote, themselves be in jail.

News Blackout

As with the Constitution-destroying provisions of the “Patriot Act,” you won’t find any depth coverage of this story in mainstream media, which has been bought up, lock-stock-and-barrel by an elite that is simultaneously behind the passage of this law. This is no joke. How and which newspaper and media magnates are involved is another story.

If you thought Bush was bad, just wait until a Republican wins the election in 2012 and then uses this law to declare open war on the American people. Impossible? The massive FEMA detention camps, built by Halliburton, and to hold a million or more American “terrorists” have now been built. This year they even have paid management, and with representatives ready-to-go in every state.

FEMA camps no joke

Where do you think the U.S. military planned to put all these U.S. citizens they round up under this new law? The FEMA camps. There is no longer any doubt!

Detention or concentration camps can’t happen here – think again

We’ve got the entire censored episode of Jesse Ventura’s “Conspiracy Theory” that reveals these FEMA camps in full detail. Watch it now with renewed knowledge of why these internment camps have been constructed across the USA:
Learn about FEMA CAMPS!

All this harkens back to World War II and the Japanese internment camps set up on U.S. soil, followed by the military rounding up of Japanese citizens: About Japanese internment camps.

You think they won’t do it again? Why did they just pass a bill declaring the entire USA to be a “battleground” of terrorism – and opening the door for the military occupation of US cities? Your hometown?

On the verge of becoming a military dictatorship

Our liberty and the soul of our country is at stake. Our survival as a free nation. It is time thus for all of us to reaffirm the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Without the Bill of Rights, we are nothing but a military dictatorship, led by bankster criminals?

Time for all to become constitutionalists

The looming scenario is we get this law signed by Obama declaring “I’ll never use it on American citizens.” Then Newt Gingrich gets elected in 2012 and all hell breaks loose.  Mike Adams of naturalnews suggests “he might unleash the U.S. military on California pot dispensaries, using armed troops to round up everybody who smokes a little weed, then throwing them in secret U.S. military prisons where they are subjected to torture. No charges, no public defense attorneys, no due process, no accountability whatsoever. All 100% legal because it was voted into law by the traitorous U.S. Senate. You think this couldn’t happen in America? Wake up, people: The Patriot Act was passed with the promise that it would “never be used against Americans” and was only for “terrorists,” right? But now up to 90% of the Patriot Act prosecutions are being leveled against American citizens for things that have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism: See (Looming Destruction of America by Patriot Act)

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely

That’s for certain. Wake up America. Tyranny is at our doorstep.

The purpose of the Bill of Rights was to limit government power. It was prevent secret arrests, torture, assassinations, unlimited detention and other police-state tactics used by nations like Nazi Germany, North Korea, China and Cuba. But with this Senate bill, the USA will become among them, in short order. All the things we in the USA complain about in these other nations will become routine in the US – illegal arrests, torture, etc. – as it will be entirely LEGAL under U.S. law! The complaints against the tyrant dictators in other nations may pale in comparison to what is in store.  So will Hillary Clinton organize a United Nations invasion of America to “protect the innocent protestors?” Don’t hold your breath.

Declaration of the

Occupation of Wall Street

By Nathan Batalion, Global Health Activist, Healingtalks Editor

(Healingtalks)  In just the past few decades, our democracy has broken down BIG time.

The interests of the common person are being gang raped. Most of the major public institutions that protect people have been ravaged. The list is too long to mention, and this process really did speed up to dizzying speeds during the Bush Administration.This has not halted under the current “democratic” one.

As major media have been monopolized and/or co-opted, real issues and real people’s candidates have almost no voice to partake in true democracy. Computerized voting booths are not reliable and even two prior presidential elections were stolen through fraud. 1% or less of the population now controls the whole wealth and power of the rest.

What used to be America the democracy, the land of the free and the home of the brave is falling apart.

Not to mince words and besides all the related grievances expressed below, and there are tons more, we must not ever forget the vast levels of  lies and deception – expressed through a control of TV, newspaper and radio outlets…(about 20% of all advertising is for pharmaceuticals with paid actors to tell us evil lies) as well as the gross mis-education of doctors, we see the creation of a diabolical practice of  “medicine” that systematically postures the most mis-trained doctors to have god-like scientific authority, dressed in sterile white coats with largely useless stethoscopes (for the healing process) worn around their necks and who really are indoctrinated to not fathom even the meaning of “healing” and to systemically pollute our bodies with the toxic main (not side) harming chemical drugs (and whose waste even harms our earth beyond measure).

They practice criminal medical ignorance to make a “living.”

Beneath the veils, it is all about making money at all costs, and at the terrible expense of our true well being as disease epidemics like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer’s,  and so on continue unstopped – though all these conditions are largely unnecessary and preventable.

Will FDA Regulate

Natural Supplements

….and Ban the Best?

Details

A First Step: Banning the Best Supplements

It is apropos to add the following, based on an article that Dr. Bill posted a few years ago, when this issue was first brewing, and that now becomes  ever more urgently something to address: There is an old saying, “Follow the money.” Big Pharma develops drugs to supposedly fight disease  and then sell it via doctors to consumers. But consumers are finding that readily available vitamins, minerals, herbs, and supplements are often just as effective (if not MORE so) as the drugs, but without harmful side effects. Wouldn’t it then make sense for lobbyists to push to regulate away these readily available, natural supplements to protect their Big Pharma constituents? Yes.

And therein lies the problem. Right now, we have the choice to use supplements and herbs, if we choose to… so, in steps the FDA to take away that choice!

Health freedom action alert: FDA attempting to regulate supplements, herbs and juices as “drugs”

When it comes to health freedom, this is the FDA’s end game.

FDA’s Plan

A new FDA ‘guidance’ document, published on the FDA’s website, reveals plans to reclassify virtually all vitamins, supplements, herbs and even vegetable juices as FDA-regulated drugs.

Massage oils and massage rocks will be classified as “medical devices” and require FDA approval.

The document is called Docket No. 2006D-0480. Draft Guidance for Industry on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration.

The FDA is accepting public comments on the docket. They tried to sneak this under the radar, but word got out and now the natural health community is up in arms over this rule. If you wish to protect your access to nutritional supplements, herbs, essential oils, homeopathic medicine or any other ‘complementary’ or ‘alternative’ modality, it is crucial that you take action to post your comments with the FDA right now and write your representatives in Washington to put a stop to this outrageous effort to destroy natural medicine. (And be sure to really write them. Just sending an email has virtually no impact compared to writing a physical letter in your own words.)”

What You Can Do

Write, call, or use this link to send the FDA a message… we want access to supplements, and natural health alternatives!

Click HERE to send a message to the FDA!

Here is the FDA’s address and their phone numbers:
Food and Drug Administration
1401 Rockville Pike, Suite 200N
Rockville, MD 20852-1448
Phone: 800-835-4709 or 301-827-1800

Be sure to cite Docket No. 2006D-0480. Draft Guidance for Industry on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration in your message, letter, or call.

Here is a link to what the FDA is saying in its “Guidance:”

Guidance for Industry on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration

Notice that it says that this, “includes, but is not limited to, botanicals, animal-derived extracts, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, prebiotics and probiotics: whole diets, and ‘functional foods‘.”

There is is, folks… do you want anything in this list regulated by the FDA?

What else can you do

Send a letter to your Representative and two Senators demanding the FDA immediately withdraw their oppressive proposed guidelines pending rational discussions with those who depend on dietary supplements to protect their health and livelihood.
Send a letter to the President’s Office of Management and Budget as the FDA’s proposed guidelines on new dietary ingredients directly conflict with an Executive Order issued July 11, 2011, that orders the FDA to streamline and repeal burdensome regulations that interfere with job creation, economic growth, and innovation.

Comment:

(Healingtalks) Economic health is akin to physical health. It goes  haywire when the “best treatments” are corrupted by the biggest financial interests.

Let’s note the following. America’s greatest period of explosive prosperity occurred exactly when the top 1% of wealthiest Americans were taxed at 90% of their income and when estate taxes were also confiscatory. This transferred wealth from the rich to the poor, and kept the powers to be in balance.

It prevented the wealthy elite  from harming the general economy, the middle class and poor, for their own purposes.

Now everything is upside down.

So predictably we are in the worst of manufactured recessions.

The trickle down theory (allowing ever more money to flow to the rich to best and move the economy forward) is more than a sham.

Life was far better, beyond comparison, in the 1950′s when labor movements were strong, when the average worker had two weeks vacation or when most mom’s tended to stay home to raise children rather than be forced to work to survive.

That American Dream has already been destroyed and the process continues.

It was accomplished via the systematic and deep corruption of Washington as well as consolidated takeovers of  the media (the latter thanks mostly to The Communications Act of 1996 passed by Congress, signifying a control of the collective consciousness by the rich, and the death toll of what was once the spirit of America).

Both Republicans and Democrats have been affected by this immense corruption.

This was evident in the recent federal debt-cutting compromise where neither side  raised taxes for the super-rich.

Perhaps if there is a further collapse of our economy then some kind of real grass roots revolution will take place.

The article from Op Ed below highlights a manufacture  “grass roots revolution” that is actually working against itself and how this hugely malevolent coup was achieved.

How Billionaires

Are Destroying

the American Dream

The recent US deficit reduction plan makes no sense at all– until you remember who’s behind the Tea Party movement.

Based on an article by George Monbiot. Published in the Guardian

Two Ways to Cut Federal Deficits

There are two ways of cutting a deficit: raising taxes or reducing spending.

Raising taxes means taking money from the rich. Cutting spending means taking money from the poor.

Not in all cases of course: some taxation is regressive; some state spending takes money from ordinary citizens and gives it to banks, arms companies, oil barons and farmers. But in most cases the state transfers wealth from rich to poor, while tax cuts shift it from poor to rich.

So the rich, in a nominal democracy, have a struggle on their hands. Somehow they must persuade the other 99% to vote against their own interests: to shrink the state, supporting spending cuts rather than tax rises. In the US they appear to be succeeding.

Partly as a result of the Bush tax cuts of 2001, 2003 and 2005 (shamefully extended by Barack Obama), taxation of the wealthy, in Obama’s words, “is at its lowest level in half a century”(1). The consequence of such regressive policies is a level of inequality unknown in other developed nations. As the Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz points out, in the past 10 years the income of the top 1% has risen by 18%, while that of blue collar male workers has fallen by 12%(2).

Compromise Federal Debt Ceiling Deal,

It Cremates the Little Guy

The deal being thrashed out in Congress as this article goes to press seeks only to cut state spending. As the former Republican senator Alan Simpson says, “the little guy is going to be cremated.”(3) That, in turn, will mean further economic decline, which means a bigger deficit(4). It’s insane. But how did it happen?

Origins of the Tea Party

The immediate reason is that Republican members of Congress supported by the Tea Party movement won’t budge. But this explains nothing. The Tea Party movement mostly consists of people who have been harmed by tax cuts for the rich and spending cuts for the poor and middle. Why would they mobilize against their own welfare? You can understand what is happening in Washington only if you remember what everyone seems to have forgotten: how this movement began.

On Sunday the Observer claimed that “the Tea Party rose out of anger over the scale of federal spending, and in particular in bailing out the banks”(5). This is what its members claim. It’s nonsense.

The movement started with Rick Santelli’s call on CNBC for a tea party of city traders to dump securities in Lake Michigan, in protest at Obama’s plan to “subsidise the losers”(6). In other words, it was a demand for a financiers’ mobilization against the bail-out of their victims: people losing their homes. This is the opposite of the Observer’s story. On the same day, a group called Americans for Prosperity (AFP) set up a Tea Party Facebook page and started organising Tea Party events(7).

The movement, whose programme is still lavishly supported by AFP, took off from there.

Who is Americans for Prosperity?

So who or what is Americans for Prosperity? It was founded and is funded by Charles and David Koch(8). They run what they call “the biggest company you’ve never heard of”(9), and between them they are worth $43 billion(10).

Koch Industries is a massive oil, gas, minerals, timber and chemicals company.

Over the past 15 years the brothers have poured at least $85m into lobby groups arguing for lower taxes for the rich and weaker regulations for industry(11). The groups and politicians the Kochs fund also lobby to destroy collective bargaining, to stop laws reducing carbon emissions, to stymie healthcare reform and to hobble attempts to control the banks. During the 2010 election cycle, Americans for Prosperity spent $45 million supporting its favoured candidates(12).

But the Kochs’ greatest political triumph is the creation of the Tea Party movement. Taki Oldham’s film AstroTurf Wars shows Tea Party organisers from all over the Union reporting back to David Koch at their 2009 Defending the Dream summit, explaining the events and protests they’ve started with AFP help. “Five years ago,” he tells them, “my brother Charles and I provided the funds to start Americans for Prosperity. It’s beyond my wildest dreams how AFP has grown into this enormous organisation.”(13)

AFP mobilised the anger of people who found their conditions of life declining, and channelled it into a campaign to make them worse. Tea Party campaigners appear to be unaware of the origins of their own movement. Like the guard in Geoffrey Household’s novel Rogue Male who has been conned into working for the enemy, they take to the streets to demand less tax for billionaires and worse health, education and social insurance for themselves.

Are they stupid? No. They have been systematically misled by another instrument of corporate power: the media. The Tea Party movement has been relentlessly promoted by Fox News, which belongs to a more familiar billionaire. Like the Kochs, Rupert Murdoch aims to misrepresent the democratic choices we face, in order to persuade us to vote against our own interests and in favour of his.

The Rich Man’s Political Coup

What’s taking place in Congress right now is a kind of political coup. A handful of billionaires has shoved a spanner into the legislative process. Through the candidates they’ve bought and the movement that supports them, they are now breaking and reshaping the system to serve their interests. We knew this once, but now we’ve forgotten. What hope do we have of resisting a force we won’t even see?
