Where is our bail out?

More jobs! More tax cuts! Just give us some money instead of taking it...after all it's our money. And while you are at it.. how about reinstating those regulations that Bush lifted allowing corporations to further rip us off. Insurance companies gladly take our money..but refuse to pay for procedures that doctors recommend.

Jobs are going overseas and what is lift are low paying. Well, I guess that's it for bail outs. I mean how can corporations and banks expect money from tax payers when tax payers are not making any money. If we make no money or very low money we pay little or less income tax.. and spend far less.. so no sales taxes.

I hope politicans are happy, they finally drained the average tax payer and left us with nothing. But, still the greedy CEO's ask for more and they get it.

I think the extreme rich who got even more rich on my buck.. should give it back. Put the money back into the corporations and stock holders. This lowly government should straighten up and do what is right and over see. Really, did they even need these bail outs? Or were they merely taking advantage of a government that they knew would just hand them the money.. because they could...because they are all greedy. The hell with the economy and the average American tax payer..we are nothing but peons to them..peasants.

It's a type of control and manipulation.. to keep them hungry and wanting.. it's control over the little ones at the advantage of the wealthy.

be careful out there.

A cars hit an ice patch and end up in the medium on a four lane interstate. The driver gets out leaving the passenger in the car and gets on his cell phone... well hello I guess he was in shock and didn't realize that someone else just may hit that same patch of ice..well...here comes another vehicle hitting the same ice patch that they hit..only this vehicle is a semi..Sorry to report that the guy on the cell phone sadly gets killed..I pity him and the poor person on the other end of the call;and of course, his passenger! The Semi.. runs totally over the car where the passenger is stranded but she is unhurt.

If this happens to you the state trooper reports.. get out of the car and run 40 to 50 yards to safety..or stay in the vehicle.

But, I know, under stress, we don't all think rationally. Too sad and right before the holidays! Well anytime is bad but then, especially and they were engaged.

How strange is that...

I didn't know what it was.. the noise that I was hearing at 4:00 AM.. It woke me up. I soon realized that the noise ended when the furnace fan shut off. Now what? The furnace is only two years old! Oh no - furnace trouble.. and it's eight degrees outside... the coldest night so far this winter season. What would I do?

Was it the cold air causing the problems? It seemed to be to sound like a loose belt..something floppy, wobbly. What could I do?

I had extra filters nearby so removed the old dirty filter and replaced it with a nice clean one. When the furnace ran again the noise was slight but there but with each running of the fan and motor the noise ceased..until it was gone. Yes!

Yes! It's evening now and I haven't experienced any problems..I am so happy! I am assuming that the filter was dirty enough to make air difficult to pass and so the filter fluttered..perhaps. I could have reinstalled the old dirty filter to try to reproduce the sound...but why? Let's let well enough alone...it's eight degrees outside!

Whatever! I'm so glad I could take care of it. I'm so glad I tried all I could do before call "the man". "What would the man do"? Besides charge me $75.00. The last time he was here over a year ago.. he merely say "Want me to put this in?" My own filter.. he didn't even bring one with him. How rude?

My furnace is situated in a small closet with the hot water heater positioned below it...there are ventilation slats in the door for for air intake.. it's the only intake there is. I noticed after I had the furnace installed that if the door was slightly open the fan drew it shut.. so I've put something in between door and frame to hold the door open so it draws much easier. Well, the new furnace is much more efficient then the old and is probably more designed to stand alone in a big open area. Well, not here, so I usually make sure the door propped about ten inches open.

Tomorrow a slight raise in temperature is expected....yippee!

if only I could get my butt in gear..but I can't seem to focus on one thing.. I have sculpturing, drawing, to do and so much more.

Maybe I can't focus on reading some more political or economical jargon because I need a break from it. Lord help me!

My friend, my ex, has a very cool MacBook picked out for me.. oh three have bought new MacBooks this weekend...gee what's 1500 more to spend.. actually, this laptop works okay for printing.. etc., I would have to get a new printer too, if I bought a MacBook. Hopefully a discount applies.. someone I can't seem to justify the purchase.

For 1500 I could buy two pictures of new furniture.. but gee how would the new blend with the old stuff? It wouldn't! If only it were a year from now.

Lord help me, universe help me, Emma help me, Ezekiel, Edy and Georgette please help me.. feel loved, something is wrong.. something is missing.. I can't quit figure it out.. I think it's love itself. Where is the romantic love?

Rich Warren .. booo

Well I guess there isn't a preacher on earth who is FOR gay marriage.. assholes! I thought god demanded.. LOVE ONE ANOTHER! But Christians are the biggest hypocrites alive!

So why is Obama even having a preacher? Why are we even mixing bible thumping hypocrites with politics to begin with?

Just when we may have a sense of hope.. here comes more .. crap! People wake up.. all over the world.. it will never get better...because these rich kids were not taught to share.. not even one little crumb..not even Obama.. who was born poor or Clinton.

It's typical male.. big shot attitude..you make your own way.. and the poorer you get the harder they, the big shots, make it for you.

It's like the poor sap who misses a car payment, or house payment or credit card payment.. because times are tough and they're poor.. what happens.. it gets even harder for them to get credit.. see what I mean. See how they do... just like Bush and FEMA and New Orleans.. or Sri Lanka.. hey, manmade title waves.. read "Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein.. Of course the Christians have their holier-than-thou heads buried they don't want to know the truth.. it's easier just trusting that our government means well by us.. well, if you are a big shot lobbyist or corporate head they do..

So let's see what Obama squeezes out of us.. what few drops we have yet..

Thirty more days until we are rid of the evil

one who hides behind evil Christian beliefs.. against stem cell research (saving lives), against abortion, yet they okay capital punishment, torture and starting wars for profit and rich men's greed.

So what makes leaders so evil? Little dicks? Little brains? Sick minds? Or all the above? Look at every country - start with Iceland, Russia and the USA where people are going hungry, and need clothes and homes. They are educated and jobless. Economies are suffering yet their greedy leaders are walking away with it all proudly!

So where are the hearts of these greedy CEO jerks? Let's give it up.. lets.. sell a jet or one your fancy houses and support a whole town for a year..you greedy sons-of-bitches! I'm not the only one that is pissed off.. just what the nightly news..

I can't believe rich people are so materialistic? Do we need to get rid of all the men and "allow" women to straighten things out? Would women be that greedy and cut throat too? Get a bunch of mothers in there running the show with hungry mouths to feed and you'll see them get things straightened out very quickly... but women are not as ruthless as men.

And I wonder, will Obama be any different once he gets a taste of all that "power". It's all nothing but a power play. A one up man-ship between man. Whats the point? I say put them all in a ring and let them fight it out.. oh, now I understand all the wars.. pathetic!

Bush is the biggest asshole I have ever seen.. oh please how do we know it just wasn't a scam for banks and auto to get every last cent they could before Democrats took over D. C. And I'm sure the lobbyist are pissed.. since Obama says he won't deal with them. Why, they already got all the deregulations they want.. corporations and financial institutions were allow to run amok without oversight and regulations and you see where it got us? We are poor, jobless, homeless, while they stuffed their pockets full of money.

Just where to you think their millions of dollars in salaries, bonus, and parachute umbrella packages came from.. shareholder profits that shareholders didn't get.. and certainly they didn't put the money back into their businesses... but like Enron, instead took the money and ran with it without penalty I might add.. all friends of the Bush Dynasty.

It's a sign of power.. they are the extreme power.. who crush out countries to get more rich.. and they want people to be broken and poor and struggling..it's the capitalist way.. and it's the plan to rule the world that way.. I'm sure..

And really what would socialize medicine cost them.. a month of war in Iraq? They are the bullies on the playgrounds that you hated to run into! What would providing jobs and decent wages.. (McCain and Bush voting against a measly minimum wage increase.. eight times).

Yet stupid Christians with blinders on seeing only one issue, abortion! Well, it's the dumbing down affect.. they, the powers that be, want you to be stupid.. but yet patriotic and believe that everything they do is right.. and then go enlist and fight their take-over and monetary gain wars for them..yeah, risk your life so that they can get even more rich! I guess they're jealous of the Saudi's is that it or of Dubai. You know, just the bullies on the playground.

Just what is the deal? If were were totally oil free and we could be if we got rid of the likes of oil companies and Monsanto.. oh yeah, now even people in India have to buy their petroleum based herbicides and pesticides from Monsanto.. when crop rotating and cattle feeding on the same land.. periodically.. say 3 years cattle; 5 years crops would enrich the soil for planting and get rid of insects.. but Monsanto wouldn't make any money then. And Monsanto won't allow farmers to hold back crops for seed for next season either. Well, they want to make them buy more...

Then there's the food and drug industry working together.. to get us obese with corn fructose.. yeah.. fatten them up and we'll dispense drug and heart surgeries.. it's all planned against us.. there is no incentive to promote.. health the natural way.. because then there would be no rich drug companies, food companies, oil men, auto.. you name it..

Capitalism is nothing more than seeing how big shot corporate heads can rip us off at our expense for their monetary gain. What a system.. gee what a democracy.. Oh, and they are Christians too......don't forget that..

Oh, let me add just one more thing.. in case you think you can take your prescription for birth control or the morning after pill and or maybe HIV medicine and have it filled out.. well, maybe the pharmacist will fill it out.. but maybe the clerk, due to religious belief, won't take your money.. so there!! God speaks! You do without.. and have that baby and raise that child.. the CHRISTIAN way.. because now ..anyone can refuse by Bush's new law to not give you your prescription!

Watch Rachel Maddow and Keith Oberman on MSNBC every evening.. you'll lean a lot.. and listen to NPR daily.

Elizabeth Warren

will be chairing the Congressional oversight for the bail outs.. yes!

Mama will be watching the bad boys play! I'd say get ready to smack some greedy hands illegally in the till!

If you are a wife or mother.. you know you can't trust little boys with a lot of money.. they get greedy for power and toys! Geez!

Elizabeth Warren can't understand why solvent banks are still getting a bail out money while ordinary citizens cannot pay their mortgages and save their homes.. oh, I can tell you why.. the big ass big shots at the banks are lobbyist buddies of Bush. And the Milton/Cameron Shock and Awe Chicago Boys like to keep ordinary people strained and in pain.. it's dominance and control..that's how Hitler came to power.. people were starving and would have listened to anything.. they had no choice. Poor boys make perfect soldier material.. hello Detroit over crowded with recruiters

I wonder does so much power go to ones head.. where they actually believe they are god and life means nothing.. mere collateral damage if it gets in the way? It's okay.. so the rich get even more rich.. just when is enough, enough?

So I guess since we the tax payers are

bailing out the auto companies.. they think we will be faithful buyers of their products now. Of course I would love to help the auto workers..

Yes, there's a "but" here..why couldn't GM have kept the EV1 around back in 1998 when California demanded lower emissions and had of goal of zero emissions. Of course it was Bush again..

Yes the Ev1 (see the DVD "Who Killed the Electric Car?") was a very popular total electric car and the people who leased it, loved it!

And as anyone in Washington actually checked the auto makers' books? Every 2nd or 3rd car I while driving.. is American. Are we sure they are just not wanting to get every cent they can get too.. like the rest of them in cahoot with this administration for the lobbyist at regular tax payers' expense.

I truly doubt if Obama is any different.. once they get to Washington.. all promises are gone.. it's called capitalism ... all for the rich and re-election..

Just like the Republicans are grooming Jeb Bush or the nephew now.. will old man daddy Bush ever just go away.. just go away...he'll be around I guess until the every last oil drop drips.. he's from a long line of bankers too...

Now you know Washington wasn't going to give anything to the average tax payer.. on no.. the big shots get all the perks..and just keep getting. Of course.. the big shots get the bail outs without question or over-sight. It's just more bull shit! Just more Enron mess.

And they are blatant about it! Oh guess what no more attacks since 9/11.. the same date the capitalist coup marched in on Chili - 9/11/ - 76.

Of course no more attacks since 9/11 they weren't necessary.. they got what they wanted..

Rev. Rick Warren

I guess we'll never get to meet a all encompassed loving preacher..hey we'll people out here to.. we gay people! We are living and breathing people with hearts and souls. We were designed homosexual for a reason..probably to give you cause and reason to grow spiritually and love and embrace diversity! Ever think of that.. you religious fanatics out there thinking you are god herself!

Oh well! See what you preachers have done..there are young homosexuals out there committing suicide so as not to embarrass their parents.

There is nothing wrong with being gay. I'm a lesbian! Of course it's taken me sixty years to finally feel comfortable with myself.. you know living amongst holier than thou straights it's hard to measure up and preachers have caused all of our anxieties because they hate those of differences.

And it's all about love..Christians think I should love selectively. What ever you do Mr. or Mrs. Christian.. never color outside the box.

I remember when I was a kid and it was awful for a man to wear any color shirt but white to a wedding.. I mean to the reception. It was practically against the law to wear white after Labor Day. I remember having to wear god awful dresses on a Saturday evening movie date.. he had to wear a suit.. it was prodigal. Don't color outside the lines.

It didn't matter if your heart was breaking.. don't color outside the lines. Life stank! I was miserable.. and so now.. no f****** preacher or anyone else for that matter is going to tell me who I can or can not love or spend my time with.. get it!

Besides most preachers and men of the cloth or gay anyway.. and isn't it odd how most offenders preach the opposite.. I mean look at Larry Craig, Ted Haggard.. probably Fred Phelps too .. the ones who yell against gays the loudest are usually gay themselves... what a joke.. you preachers are!

And parents better wise up too.. be happy your kids are happy...and in love. and stop worrying more about what the f****** neighbors and the rest of the family thinks.

See how the church causes havoc in peoples' lives.. it's pathetic!

another kick in the face.

Rich Warren is to speak at the Inaugural address.. he's anti-gay. Nice!

Oh so nice of you

to put into law that credit card companies can't raise the interest rate on you if you keep a balance and make regular payments.. and if they do decide to they have to give you 60 day notice. But, there's a catch.. the law doesn't go into effect until about August of 2010.

Is this a joke or what? 2010? And trust me the house and doesn't never helped us either.. they put the cap at 34% Hello? Where in the hell is the government of "we the people" instead of we the rich?

I hate Bush and Christians!

So now Pharmacist, doctors and everyone else do not need to tell the potential patent up front that they do not perform abortions or give out information regard such or birth control.. and they don't need to prefer the potential patient to someone who does! Young women you better be careful!

Any doctor, pharmacist, nurse practitioner doesn't have to couch anyone regarding their choices.. or prescript birth control information, methods or choices to potential patients..and many do not have to tell you anything up front.. in order words they can just keep quiet about the fact that you are not going to get any type of birth control or abortion information. So make sure YOU ASK up front!

It makes me sick that all these people think they can PLAY GOD! I'd say mind your own business! Be careful too because they like to preach the fucking bible to you too!

What gives every Christian the right to think THEIR way is the right way? But then it's okay to ravish a country over profit and oil? It was okay for the Christian crusaders to march into countries and take over...and teach the "pagans" their way! I can't stand these hypocrites that are nothing more than bullies.. shoving their beliefs right or wrong down our throats...go away.. we are not interested.

I am a spiritual being here as a human being.. I have a conscious and a brain that allows ME to choose and make decisions for myself.. I certainly do not need some phony for profit Christian crusader forcing their beliefs on me which I do not agree with. I suggest you do your damn job or get out of the medical business and get your own damn church if you want to preach from the medical pulpit! You are being a hypocrite by not doing your job to your fullest.. and you are being a hypocrite by misleading potential patients. Shame on you! I have a brain I will make my own choice.. it's just another male ego son-of-a-bitch dominance scheme to put women back into their place.. trailing behind the "all-mighty" male! And don't try to tell me that the mere mortal male.. didn't write the bible in the imagine and likeness of HIMESELF! PLease! You take us for fools!

Ron Blagojevich, Governor of Illinois

..is he being used to get to Obama.. for the next eight years .. like the Republicans did with Bill Clinton the whole time Bill Clinton was in office?

You know how dirty the Republicans are.. they're working on the next election already..don't you think?

Can't help it, I have to talk about this stuff...

I'm spiritual! So I am not into any of this religious stuff.. you know it's all man written and created don't you; for manipulation and control and money. Just like the government.. plus keep them poor and under control..

Poor people make good soldiers..they eagerly accept the incentives offered...

I was watching the view and like me Joy is iffy, doubtful, questionable about religious beliefs... and Elisabeth is as idealistic and naive as the day she was born.. the church and Bush love that - it's perfect! Elisabeth said just look around it must take a god to create all this..glory around us.

I am just not convinced..I think "god" is created by man..bibles were written as guide book of rules to benefit leaders of religions.

I'm spiritual like I said..so I don't really need constructed religious jargon and guide lines. I believe we are all gods and that the power lies within each and every one of us.. if only we believe it does and tap into our inner strengths.. of course the church doesn't want you to know that..then you wouldn't need them! Get it? They would be out of business.. and not get your money.. so they can decorate the church and wear fancy slippers, little crown hats and golden robes and live with a group of men.. and have alter boys for perks. Get it?

I am spiritual and I believe that we all have the capability of tapping into our inner strengths for whatever reason we need. Think about it? Our minds are very powerful..we can heal ourselves and well as make ourselves sick! Dreams and wishes do come true so be careful.. and if you do want something.. be specific and do not generalize then put it out there for the universe to work your wells... it works. It's important that you always be grateful for everything you have.. your good health, everything.

I thank the universe for my wisdom, riches, loves, lover, curly heavy hair, slender, lovely, muscular body, youthfulness, cuteness, good health, good common sense, intelligence and wit.

Bush and Homeland Security..

oh please.. only thing he can talk about is his war...certainly can't brag about the economy or the honesty of Bernard Madoff, former NASDAQ big shot, or the Goldman Sachs bail out...did you know they pay only 1% tax because of their geographical mix..meaning "off shore" assets moved off shore...and they still had their hands out for a bail out!! Did you know that Secretary of Treasury, Hank Paulson comes from Goldman Sachs. Is that just too funny! The more I think about it, the more I wonder if Iraq wasn't a diversion so Bush would have something to talk about... he said one thing he knows for sure is that we haven't been attacked since 9/11..I guess not..not unless they plan another one! How transparent is all this to you?

The lobbyist planned the whole thing towards the end of the eight year term.. the big finale! The biggest rip off yet to the American tax payer..let's just see how much money we can really walk away with! Hey I wouldn't put it past them! And the 2004 election.. another hoax..just like the first on in 2000.. they had a plan and they were going to carry it out no matter what.. I think the plan was put in place.. after daddy Bush lost to Bill Clinton. Daddy Bush wanted to get Saddam Hussein then..and get a foot hold in Iraq to protect his oil interest.. his investments and their oil interest. And privatize security and everything else over there so all these big corporations headed by former generals, some of them, could walk away with a lot of tax payer money.

I hope the war for profit was profitable for certain interest groups like Halliburton, Blackwater, KRB and others.. We all know Cheney was CEO for Halliburton. These guys don't even try to cover up what they are doing anymore..why, they can get away with anything.. they are the leaders. And collateral damage is acceptable. The war was a lie..everything was a lie. The way New Orleans after Katina by FEMA was shameful..they didn't care if the poor side of town was destroyed they have planned to rebuild that with hotels and condos anyway. Read the book "Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein. Read about Sri Lanka too in that book. While your reading read "American Dynasty" by Kevin Phillips. Read "overthrow" by Stephen Kinzer. All great reads!

I really love speculating about this economic and political stuff.. how they do stuff...just how they accomplish take overs.. So now Obama will get in there and get some money back in the budget and balance it so the Republicans can get elected eight years from now. Oh, they'll get elected if they really want to! You have to admit that Rove and Cheney were geniuses who certainly used their eight years to their and their lobbyist's full benefit. They walked away with the store! Plan genius!

I love watching MSNBC Keith Obermann and Rachel Maddow! Excellent!

Care free in Italy!

Well, now we know why Spitzer got outed and caught with a pay girl! He was keeping an eye in NY over the SEC. Interesting? I'm listening to NPR and found out that neither Christopher Cox or SEC can be sued. No government agency can be used. Well, I guess there would be no court for them..since Federal Judges and all would be in cahoots.

Then there was Reagan and Bush deregulations gearing them up for fraud and thievery. Deregulation open the gates for corporations and Wall Street to have a free for all.

Now you know why the American people, the American tax payer has no faith in our governmental systems. Bernard Mayoff (formerly on the board of NASDAQ) as many were turned a blind eye too. Now the investors do not have a leg to stand on. Old and broke after saving for years.. think the government will help them out? LOL! This government only helps out their "kick-back" buddies.

I was speaking the other day to an Italian and he says..there is nothing wrong with Socialism as we Americans were brainwashed to believe. Italian and many other countries are happy with "their" system. We here in the United States do not have a system "for the people" as our forefather's promised. This country was built on "take over dominance" of Capitalism so a few rich men can get even more rich at the expense of the already poor guy who pays taxes and gets nothing in return.

Tax payers are so hard at work trying to make ends meet that they have no time to investigate or protest our greedy capitalism system which rips people off at every turn in over to turn a buck for the already wealthy managements influenced by government and vice versa...in cahoots via lobbyist monetary campaign and favor payoffs.

Yeah politics is dirty business.. evidently heads of corporations is understanding a dirty business too. Dog eat dog! Give me socialism.. that is the only way everyone will be created and treated equally..where doctors get bonuses (England) for getting someone to stop smoking.. where there is an actual incentive to get and keep people healthy.

Not like in this country will drug companies are brain washing untested pill stuffing and promoting unhealthy habits while promoting artificial foods to clog veins and chock out health... you know hospitals have to pay for newly built cardiac departments. So think drug, medical, and food corporations all work together? Interesting isn't it. But, that is the capitalist way..to make money at your expense.

And look at the cars that American have made for us? "Unsafe at any speed" about the Carvair made my Chevrolet.. read the book by Ralph Nadar. Oh course auto companies blame it all on the unions. But unions came about because workers were so mistreated and working in unsafe conditions. Maybe we do need Socialism..

Oh but then we wouldn't have a choice between quality and junk at all! Well, in socialist countries people protest until they get what they want... they pay high taxes and depend decent products..decent health care. This old joke about the English have bad teeth came about as a slogan from American capitalist brain washing Americans that social dental and health care was faulty. Not true! There, doctors and dentists are given monetary incentives to get and keep people healthy.. makes sense doesn't. Keep them healthy and save the government tax payer's money..excellent idea.. everyone wins.

I'm so sick of this government favoring the corporate rich while we pave their way with our hard earn tax dollars..just what are we getting out of this? Less and less is what we are getting! When is enough, enough? I just want a happy medium, a balance!

I only hope that Obama does have great influence and makes a considerable difference in favor of the average tax payer..

Oh and get a load of this.. the Italian 64 now but retired at age 44 with full pay for the rest of his life..oh, and full health, vision and dental care! Worry free! Wouldn't it be nice to be worry free..for a change. Worry free and struggle free!

Jeep Renagade of the Future

besides being cool looking the car's technology is that as the wheels turn the battery recharges. How brilliant is that? The center of gravity is low because the batteries are low between the wheels as is the mechanism that charges the battery from the motion of the turning wheels. The body, tires and all the materials of the car are made from all recyclable materials. The car is silent...and without pollutants. It's good looking! Built it well and it will sell!!

I want one.. yes, and it's a Jeep! Now we're talking...If American auto companies begin engineering, dependable, affordable, energy saving and environmental friendly cars before you know it they'll get back into the black and wouldn't need a hand out.. Hell if GM didn't crush the EV1 in 2003 and kept it around against Bush's wishes.. they would probably be in the black. So guess who is running the show.. for the auto companies...the oil men. It's not time to move away from oil yet.. because old greedy white men.. are getting rich..and want to continue to get even more rich. In the past the big three crushed any new popular devices or autos..that went against their wishes and likes.. and were better than their products..yes.. capitalism is evil and dog eat dog. Beware of big business. Just like Eisenhower warned when he left office.. "beware the industrial military war machine"

But, an independent engineer came up with this idea.. "Future Cars" program didn't say if he was associated with an American auto company so, we'll see?

So there you are.. I will look forward to many new innovations coming forward after 1/20/09.. in the mean time I"m sure the big oil people.. will try to squash every "green" idea that comes along. It's scary!

Is it possible that we can actually have a president that is good for this country and the people in it! Is it possible? Will we are definitely overdue!

You pig..eat this shoe

Farewell to Bush! I think the Iraqi reporter demonstrated it best! And all Bush could say was that it was a "Size 10". Is Bush nuts?

Bush didn't hear one insulting word the Iraqi reporter shouted! "Here's for the innocent people, the woman and children that you killed".

And for what? Oil? Hey we want it, we take it.. it's the American way.....well just wait until so are so in hock with China that they come and take and we can't do a damn thing about it!

"It's like not waving with all five fingers" What? Is Bush senile?

And how about the Secret Service.. they just stood there and let it happen? Must have been Blackwater security! Is that too funny? The guy even had the chance to throw another shoe.. there could have been a bomb in the shoe...

Well so much for security! There goes your five fingers. Maybe that is what even the security thinks of him..dumb shit!

Well, read "Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein..and get her slant on take over coups for big business!

We want, we take!

Beginning to sleat....

It's very windy! My fires gone out, I'm getting tired but can't seem to drag myself to bed...I want to do everything - now. Should just sleep and do it all tomorrow.. but I think I am a night person. Reading and drawing for night time things to do when it's dark out doors - don't ask me why. I wonder, am I the only one who feels that way?

But sleeping is for dark. I think I think I'll miss her when I get to bed so I'm putting it off..we had a fabulous weekend. Now back to reality and work.

Hopefully the streets will not be iced over.. as depressingly promised. I hope the holiday are clear streeted and safe. I'm invited out all over the place and hate arriving a wreck.. praying not to wreck. Too scary!

I hope I never have to drive my girlfriends street when it's icy or snowy.. I'll turn around (hopefully will fine such a spot) and go back home. I do not want to wreck my car. I do not want car payments!! I wish to drive old and reliable for many, many more miles. Especially, in this man-made crooked awful economy! I think we got ripped off by leaving Republican sponsored lobbyist.. don't you? "Oh please deregulate that and this and no, please no over-sight" Well, even with your huge monetary gifts the crooks will not have to worry about any over sight!

It's pure pathetic if you ask me. Well, soon the tax payers won't have enough jobs to fork over taxes.. so where the big shots going to get their bail outs then. Oh, I know, old reliable China. Yes, soon they will be all living here and owning everything. Well, here their population can grow..there will be no child birth limits. Why? We have the room! If wonder! When this country is ran by the Chinese will women suffer a social class set back?

You know women here in this country are at the brim of pulling themselves up into a first class population category. I'm sure men wish them to be pushed down and under their thumbs once again! Why not.. stomp their spirits .. it's the male domineering ego way! To oppress and rule and conquer and stomp out.. and over take countries and governments and markets for manipulative, greedy, self-profit and monetary gain. It's the American way! And don't get in the way of progress....

So as I sit here waiting for the fire to die down... I thank the universe for my many blessings of love, grace, hope, and intelligence. Good health, pain-free days! I thank the universe!

Let's see would I prefer yard or loft next time around when the economy turns a new leaf and people actually have money enough to stop working mutiple jobs and only need one decent paying job! When is that going to happen. These greedy idiots running the show are too stupid to see that if you "allow" the people to prosper (and not only your fat ass selves) that the economy will prosper and still too the rich can get a little more rich. But not here! These greedy slugs want it all - and now! Step on the little guys. Get the hell out of my way - stupid. They are kicking themselves. Now noone gets anything! We are all poor! Many poor and a handful of greedy, evil, heartless idiots who think they can actually take it with them.. you know I'm glad no one, practically no one can wait exactly what they choose to eat, when they want too because if they do they'll get a chronic disease.. one of the silient killers will attack.. so money can't buy lots of food. No one gets a free pass in that department!

Fires still burning.. can't go to slee yet. Let's see what can I eat? Or drink? More coffee?

I wonder how the good doctor is doing.. I wonder if she got to practice the way she wanted to practice. I miss her kindness, her soft healing hands, her warm heart, and her wonderful deep brown saintly eyes. The woman was god to me! Probably still would be too! I pray her life is going well and she is well and happy and feels satisfied and loved! May all she does turn to gold and she is happy and very successful this holiday season and always!

Funny, how angels appear when we need them mose and in magical, mysterious ways..

I'm happy now with my new love. Personally I wish us the best.. we both deserve the best with prosperity, good health, lots of love, sex and fun and wonderful magical happy times. We've worked hard and suffered long...mistakeningly, to get to this point.

I mean, why do people think they have to suffer.. stupid ass church! Another crock of bull spread by the religious money brubbing anti-christ religious for conquering and controlling and manipulating and using. They don't give a crap about people.. they want to conquer, control, dominate and manipulate and take every hard earned dime you have and stick in their greedy pockets...relgious are no worse than politicans!

So now, there you are, and it's the pure truth.. who can we rip off next!

Nuclear? Why?

So, per Rachel, Bush is meeting up with the guys in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) to speak of "nuclear" power? Why? That area is extremely rich with oil and the money it brings.. so why are they building nuclear plants, for power (?). Aren't they burning oil to generate power? A concern, they are friends with Iran another nuclear power. Another concern - Bush. He is over there speaking to them? What not dodging shoes in Iraq? Why? This lame duck is like a headed duck run amok...creating havoc during his last days in office. Down right scary!

And about that Iraq reporter going off on Bush over how he allowed the killing of civilians ...well, that just went right over his head.

We don't care.. if we want we take.. just ask Cameron, Friedman and the Chicago Boys!

Well at least Bush can duck a shoe.. what an

idiot! Bush is a real idiot! He has no sense of what really went on in Iraq.. or of all the civilians who met their death.... oh you can't tell me he didn't know he just didn't even care! Bush, I mean,
rather, Cheney got Blackwater Security over there (for profit and waste of tax payers money) all for oil! All for conquer and dominant as we are so infamous for! It's a shame! You know that shoe attack insistence didn't even faze him. He thought it was funny! The guy's a sociopath! He's always been rich and daddy has bailed him out of everything he ever got into because he failed at everything.. from National Guard, from his own oil company that went belly up.. to this presidency.. you know it was daddy Bush running the show.. why he had all of his old cronies.. running the show.

Bye bye.. say Good-bye!

lay offs "The Big Squeeze" a book to read..

I'm listening to NPR and in tears over the sad lay off stories that I am hearing..the last caller is also losing Medicare along with her employment. The announcer was surprised at this ..but then again, I think hey it's the Bush rip off years.

Is it really a market correction or a sell out of the country's economy perhaps to China? Are we that much in hock? You know it's awfully crowded in China and I'm sure they could use lots more room.

In these bleak times my stained, soiled yet structurally sound arm back chair looks fine..even in the sunshine. I feel the heavy hearts of those listeners. Just who did this to us?

Was it the housing bubble they knew in 2005 was bound to burst one day? So the banks grew crookedly desperate and forked out faulty loans to pressure persuaded American dream hopefuls. And yes we were all in denial and mistakenly living in the moment.

Was it greedy CEO tactics...are they laughing all the way to Swiss banks.. certainly not our banks here in this country. And was Bush and company in on the biggest scam yet to happen to us? And he gets away Scott free? And now they are setting up Jeb in the Florida Senate to rip us off again...perhaps in 2012? Can't the crooks just go away..when is enough enough? When they conquer the whole Western Hemisphere and then more..perhaps the Middle East too. So what do they really have in mind for this country? I know the Camerons and Milton Friedmans' Chicago Boys have a plan to coup and over take something else. Or have they goofed up badly... and China is in the lead now? I watched Boston Legal the other evening and Candance Bergen had a lead and argued in court against the Chinese buying out her firm that when the communist buy our law firms..they can see that our laws get changed..so where it it all end? She asked..are we that much in hock? She quoted Hillary in saying..you can't pick a fight with your bank...and at this point in time China is our bank.

Can you believe instead of going green and natural creating jobs here by creating power with wind, solar and water we go into hock with China to buy oil and support a middle eastern country so the Bush Dynasty consisting of old already rich bucks could get even richer. Lobbyist are in control, you know, and run the show.. they are our governing crew.. Bush took orders from them. Well, actually, Bush didn't have a clue..it was the Cheney Show or more likely The Daddy Bush Show!

I hope everyone survives this mess we are in. It's time to cut back...wear old, rent movies, and drive used..

And may the rich get big and fat.. funny isn't it? No matter how rich anyone is, if they want to be healthy they too must exercise and eat healthy foods in limited amounts. And may the chemical company CEO's eat their own processed so call foods!

Good lot to the tax payer....we sure saw a lousy return on our tax money in the way of social benefits haven't we... what a lousy, corporate designed war over oil and dominance to get a petroleum foot hold in the Middle East at our expense? Most of our money went and will go for many years into greedy CEO pockets.. nice job! One has to admit that the Republicans wasted no time in their eight years!

Relationships

and how we struggle to fit their needs. Well she and I really don't have any problems, ourselves. Well, we didn't at first but then I pulled back because of rather negative comments she made about her family and perhaps..friends. Well, I guess minor and rather like most families. Just them being straight is a stumbling block right there.. straights are so righteous.. (the church would love to hear me say that.. it's what "they" preach after all) But, it's been so comfortable the last four years after I ditched the straight world..that I almost hate to return to it's righteous blind eye towards homosexuality.

This morning I was thinking of a straight friend I had back when I was in my mid 30's. I had a crush on her.. so listened intently, for whatever reason now I'm not sure, about her boyfriends payments to his daughter and how she was going back to court time and time again so she wouldn't have to pay it. I swear I listened to her irritating voice for hours on end with a stupid (now that I think of it) sympathetic ear. What a fool I was putting others emotions, time, and feeling and stuff in their lives before mine. I've done this all my life taking the backseat..keeping my mouth shut..for they weren't really interested in what was going on with me anyway. And where did it get me? No where. Yet when it came to me.. expressing my thoughts, even in my own bad mis-pronunciation I was reprimanded, corrected and cut off left embarrassed and deflated I merely gave up...it was't worth it. Some stings last a long time.

And what about this relationship... if I give, there will only be more emotional demands and trauma which usually cuts into my sexual response and never theirs.. seems nothing ever effects the women in my life's (or men of the past, for that matter) sexual orgasms, but mine it does. I hate my mother! The woman set me up for emotional and relationship failure. I lived in an isolated emotionally, intellectually negative environment. She could never be pleased. Nothing was right! They say for some dumb reason..we look for relationships like familiar relationships no matter how bad the past familiar relationship was.. so there you are.. my life in a nutshell.

I listened to Oprah's friend Gale's XM radio program on the way to take my ex's car to get her oil changed and heard the male guess speaker say that he had to relearn emotions and get in touch with his emotions and learn to express them in order to maintain his second marriage. He said we unconsciously try to get from our life partners what we never could get from our parents or care takers of our childhoods. Yeah and pronounce words wrong...a total disaster because whatever you are trying to say..is ignored for the outspoken correction of your mispronunciation. An embarrassment and deflation of an already fragile self-esteem...but what they have to say is more important than whatever you ever had to say. And it happens with every relationship. What are you going to do for them or it's a deal breaker.. just like my mother! And they want to know up front or they cut you off..in more ways than one. Why are they so perfect and I am not? Is what I want to know. I began this relationship with confidence.. it's fading already.. because I see now where I have to .. bend.

So have I solved anything here with journaling my feelings and concerns.. it is said that the answer always lives within we just have to dig down and pull it out. If I go along.. is it the end of my enjoyable sex life.. because I have given too much of myself? It's happened in the past.

But, more recently before this relationship... I was seeing a very busy married woman..she was running everyone's life so it seemed. She was her kids bank or maybe he was. I have my own opinions about that.. having to fend for myself my whole life..no hand outs for me. I learned that up front at a very tender age. My family was a bunch of takers not givers.

So and loving my former long term ex dearly.. there was pain there too... a diminishing of my self until I took it back again. So, yes, I am hesitant and aren't we all. Hey, we're not kids anymore..this stuff isn't new.. and we've learned along the way, sometimes much to our detriment rather than emotional gain. So I ask the universe to help me out here. I ask my special spiritual guides Emma, Ezekiel, Edy and Georgette, my couples counselors, to help me out. I ask them now to lead me down the correct path to love and soul enrichment. Oh why do all loves comes with...stuff.

Sometimes, don't you wonder why we must deal with all the "family" stuff. Family certainly gives an assumed feeling of "ownership" and "permanence" that is assumed and taken for granted.. like we're never going to get tired of it and abandon ship.. like anything can be said and done and we'll stick around. What a joke! What's the saying.. the manipulative and controlling saying, "blood is thicker than water"..don't think so!

But, I think I can put myself in neutral and pretend.. it's casual and not life threatening. And the sun's out and I'll go for a mind, soul searching, run..the sun is warm and nourishing and it's god's spotlight on me.

Twenty minutes have elapses since I posted this entry.. and upon reading my email..Yes! Life is truly magical. Thanks so much Edy and Georgette.. and Emma and Ezekiel, of course. Well, she had sent me email wanting to come over Thursday evening and spend the night and the day with me on Friday.. which wonderfully opened the door for me to ask to go with her Friday evening if she still had plans with her friends... if I'm invited, of course, I said.. So, thanks universe.

Thank you universe.. for my immediate mgaical answer and you'll super laser flash fast response.. it truly is a wondrous, glorious, magical, sun-shiny day! I will do the run now for good measure.. I love you guys! I say that with tear filled eyes..

"How do You Get Tough with Your Banker?"

asked Hillary, according to Shirley on Boston Legal! "Made in China" with a weak dollar as it is, China is investing here like gang busters (I'm not quoting - can you tell?). First of all we ship all manufacturing overseas, now all things are made in China. Remember during the Vietnam years.. all things were made in Japan.. you know why? Because the empty supply ships coming back from Vietnam.. stopped by Japan and filled up and then sold "made in Japan" in the States. Now, we never see "Made in Japan", all we see is "Made in China". Well we owe them tons of money.. like Hillary said "

It's only a matter of time that we all will be working for China! Are we that much into hock? Funny how no one speaks of the trillions of dollars of national debt any more? Don't you think? Or "the war"?

It's all about the economy these days... is that an adversion too? Just what is this government up to. Are we being sold down the river...so not only Joe the Plumber is in debt and out of work everyone is..vulnerable. Have the oil men gone too far for a greedy buck, for the old oil bucks? Just when is enough enough?

Guess I read too much about matters of Shock and Awe? I've read "Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein it will awe you..

Seems to me the powers that be are up to something.. oh they knew this was coming.. you know timing is everything! Is it all a plan? Or do they fly by the seat of their pants? Reactive instead of proactive? Surely they are proactive.. the stakes are too huge. But the Chinese do have us over a barrel.. an oil barrel and we did it to ourselves..all because we are subborn and greedy and can't give up being a big shot!

We must admit the Bush dynasty spent there time well these past eight years didn't they.. Oil went form 25.00 per barrel to 148.00 and back down.. time enough for "them" to make a mint! The big three is begging..of course they want a piece of the pie too! The government owns the banks now...and China is at our door step. Like Hillary said.."How can you get tough with your banker?"

Gee was it wise to borrow from China to buy oil from another country. Does it make sense to aid the riches of the middle east, and the far east while we go broke? Does it make sense to ship jobs overseas. Are we shipping all the money out of this country? Why? Makes you wonder doesn't it? You know the lobbyist run the show..are the banks and auto really broke or just taking advantage while they can..why pay to re-tool when you can get someone else too! Maybe they are kicking and screaming into alternative powers sources.

All GM had to do was bring back the EV1.. or they could have kept it here.. they crushed the last one in 2003.. did you know that? In it's place they introduced us to the up-your-nose Hummer (you'll drive what we tell you to drive!) See the DVD "Who Killed the Electric Car?" You'll love it! It's classic! And very well done!

You know it's a wonder the oil men didn't buy up all the electrical power plants and force us to use oil and gas lamps only.. like the oil, auto and tire companies bought up all the street car tracks across the country in every city then ripped them out and build super highways in their place. They sure weren't thinking clean air then were they?

And now of course we are in a sorry state as million of more jobs have been lost just within the last month.. and more lay offs are coming. Just what were "they" thinking? Is anyone is control? That's a joke! Well, when deregulate and then allow all the lobbyist to get what they want.. there should be mass confusion and toe stepping and now we have the results. And you know if you give people free rein, the rules (what rules? They were erased with deregulations) will be bended and broken, you know, to make that fast buck!

It is a case of over take.. Ewen Cameron and Milton Friedman and the Chicago Boys in action. Read "Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein and read "Overthrow" America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq by Stephen Kinzer author of "All the Shah's Men". Great reads!

Sometimes I just try to understand the logic of it all, if there is any logic, I wonder? I'm thinking with such great stakes at hand certainly there is..but we can't for get the "greed" factor....and greed is a very dangerous element..in this economy.. or lack of economy.

Now you know why we need a decent president! An over sight is due! Well the big three is getting an over sight panel along with their loan. You can't just let these greedy idiots run amok; that's what got them into greedy trouble in the first place.. and just how many millions do you need? Just greed should be confined.. I mean locked up..and left with nothing.. made to give it all up to poor people who have just lost their jobs.

It seems to me that if economicst wanted us

to spend more money.. they wouldn't be painting such a gloommy scenario. That kind of negative talk will only push us down deeper into a recession. Is that what our government and economist want? Just what is going on here?

Oh, I definitely believe they have a plan and I believe that plan is to take full advantage and get every last cent of money that is out there and stick it in their pockets..the hell with the auto companies..the CEO's will stick the money right in their pockets and then merely ask for more..and of course since they are all in cahoots.. they will get more. But, that sort of thinking and planning doesn't work for us.

Bush just bought a 2 million dollar home in Texas. yeah with all this deregulating he has allowed through the years..he got himself a good deal I guess! Well, someone allowed the crooks to drive the market down using risking loans... so he could get it extra cheap. Yes, the Bush Dynasty.. will it ever fad away? Read "American Dynasty" by Kevin Phillips. He's another one: "Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein and "Overthrow" by Stephen Kinzer.

Now Jeb Bush is planning on running for the Florida Senate seat that will be vacant soon. Seems that present Senator is not planning on running again. Wonder how much money he got.. not to. See they are getting their players in place for 2012. Again! Yeah they know Florida is a huge electoral state and they are digging in deep already.

Here's one for the Cholesterol fearing fans: "Hidden Truth about Cholesterol-lowering Drugs" by Shane Ellison, M.Sc. He claims that prescription drugs the fourth leading cause of death after cancer, heart disease and stroke. Hm, I never realized that stat ins lower CoQ10 in the body. Low CoQ10 leads to congestive heart failure due to weakening of the heart muscle, this is called cardiomyopathy.

Sta tin due contain some Anti-inflammatory benefits..that is why doctors want people with normal levels of cholesterol to take stat ins too. A simple C R Protein test will let you know if you have an inflammatory condition. But reading on in the book, I see that there are natural nutrients with anti-inflammatory benefits.. such as fish oils, alpha-lipoic acid, green tea, ginger, and/or 95% grape see extract.. just to name a few.

I'm switching gears here again.. speaking of the auto industry. Oh please. The big three were cutting cost and knew they were building "bad" cars. I love the idea of leaking oil between oil changes.. yeah.. when you had a add a quart of oil between oil changes.. was that ingenious or what? The oil industry loved it I'm sure!

Now, I'm with Jay, he says the guys on Wall Street and in finance committed out and out plan fraud with bundling faulty loans and selling them to investors overseas.. they knew those bad loans would fail.. they pushed them onto innocent but ignorant people...promising them the all American dream of home ownership! It's pretty sad isn't it! Well, homes were over built and construction loans were due.. so they had to be sold right? Do what you can to move these homes....promise them anything....just move them. They say that loan officers were set up in hotel conference rooms at phone banks with quotas to meet..."sell 'em!" with whatever it takes..

Well, guess I'm finished philosophizing for today.

Obama is hoping right to it.

Commerce Secretary will be Bill Richardson. I'm pleased with Hillary Clinton for Secrtary of State.

Today Obama attended the Governor's meeting. Obama is on top of it! And he's not even in office yet! Quit the opposite of you-know-who!

Then there was W who went on vacation for the first eight weeks when he got into office! Well, I believe we all know how he got elected. Fixed? Remember how the preachers commanded parisoners vote for W. Remember the anti-abortion and anti-gay reheric. No wonder we're hated. Thanks a lot!

You know in retrospect.. it certainly is easier to connect the dots. Oh well, just read the books for yourself. Start with "Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein and "Overthrow" by Stephen Kinzer.

And wasn't Nixon a bastard

Yeah they released White House tapes some with Vietnam bombing instructions. Oh yeah more Cameron and Friedman Shock and Awe. Communist threat...I say Catholic church and government scare tactics. Remember fall out shelters?

Remember shock and awe after 9/11. Red, orange and yellow days of fright? Those people are nuts and will do anything to establish global super-capitalism.

Hey, you can get oil from algae and it grows very fast..the sun makes it oily. It needs lots of co2.. so grow it around power plants. The greenist of fuels algae to oil. And it will replace petroleum diesel. Well, they're talking the talk, let's see if they walk the walk.

I can't believe these people are this stupid to safe a buck

by making first year residents work continuously for36 hours without sleep! Are they nuts? And they have been doing this for a hundred years. So now after a hundred years of stupidty someone got a brain fart and suggests (after several law suits, of course [seems someone has to always die first always]) they get although only five hours..at least some sleep after sixteen hours.

You know it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that lack of sleep is a reall harzard to not only the residents but to their patients.

And what exactly was the purpose of working straight 30 hour tours without sleep?

I don't know.. some times I just wonder about people!

you need a plan sam...

The big three.. I believe are merely taking advantage of an opportunity to get some money before their friends leave Washington. They drove a hybrid to D.C. this time, instead of flying private corporate jets there. With plan in hand, they stand, waiting for Congress to bail them out.

The big three hard hit by unpopular styling of dinasaurs designs are hurting. In my opinion they did it to themselves. In months they could retool and come with an affordable, dependable (for a change) electric car. Hey, remember the EV1 in the late 90's till they crushed them all by 2003? We know for sure they can do it.. soo it is all bull to me and nothing more than a mere opportunity taken to further rip off the American taxpayer in an attempt to drain every last cent we had.. and stick more money into their own greedy pockets. How un-American is that? But, of course, we take their word of financial statements. We don't double check. They could have avoided this.. by building state of the art electric, affordable electric cars that use ordinary electricical out-lets.

Lame Duck run Amok

Can't wait until W is out of there! He's dangerous...like a headless chicken trying to find his way out the door!

So now he wants to end abortion...but anniliating foreign countries so the Chicago Boys can establish super-capitalism in them is okay? And war over oil is okay? And the death penalty is okay? Yeah right - Mr. Christian.

Well, you know.. they are gods! Just ask them! They decide who lives and who dies...

just maybe..

all the neighbors will get out and leave for a while and I'll get a chance to play my saxophone..so far while waiting I've listened to President Elect Obama announce his newly appointed Security Council. Congratulations to the ladies.. but let's just hope the council and the leaders that be have the over sight and the in sight, unlike the mic tech, to realize leaders come in all heights! How embarrassing for the shorter ladies who were stretching to rise an eye ball above the protruding phallic object..or was that an unconscious die hard old boys' club fathernity Freudian slip!

I was drawing while I was listening, reading before that trying to finish "Supercapitalism" by Robert B. Reich. I've just finished "Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein. And I know I have a Kevin Klein book around here somewhere to read. I read all of his books. My favorite: "American Dynasty"!

I read books about our government and capitalism because I am trying to understand the male mind? Apparently - it's ran by self-serving greed and a shock and awe mentality. Pure brute mentality!

Oh lets just explode bombs in the ocean and wipe out Sri Lanka and build beach front hotels for the rich! Or how about lagging FEMA and destroyed leves for the same reason in Louisiana? It's all about hotels and Walmarts.

I guess I can see the Walmart skull and bones lobbying capitalist idealism. "Large" organisations and corporations are easier to control with a same mind set mentality.

got a good book selection for you ..

It's called "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein. It will knock your socks off. It's about the rise of disaster capitalism!

You just wouldn't believe the stuff that goes on .. and has gone on since Reagan at lease if not before. Look out for the Chicago boys and Milton Friedman's economics.

Okay don't want to give anything away.. but what this book does is connect the dots....like "follow the money" and the "turmoil". I was wondering why there were so much unrest around the world.. now I know why.. we're there!

Two more months.. of

chest leading, butt strutting, arrogant Bush! Oh yeah - "If we decide on any important changes we'll be sure to let newly elected Obama know!" Oh please - you idiot! We are in the time of crisis and now is not the time to be so arrogant or try to act like you really know what the hell is going on! He's the epitome of ignorance!

They should be working together and Obama in on the decisions for these next sixty days. Why is there a lap anyway! Shouldn't the new president take over immediately? And not allow time for the old to disrupt and destruct - any further - in this case!

Just another attempt at draining the well dry before they leave - just to see if they can get anymore to stuff in their pockets! Greed should be imprisoned - of course that would include the whole of this past republican circus! Talk about a bunch of smart ass crooks! And arrogant! It's black mail for one thing - much less a "hold-up"! "Give us all the money our we'll take the whole economy down with us! Pretty smart actually! Is that more of "shock and awe" tactics?

I'm reading the "The Shock Doctrine" The Rise of Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein

Yeah the crooks are being pretty sophisticated in greedy plans to rip off the American taxpayer!

Instead of bailing out everyone at the top - who are already rich and should put back into the companies. I'm talking about CEO top heavy not shareholders! What the government should do is demand that corporations bring back good paying jobs so build our economy. Oh the hell with it!

The hell with oil. Plastics can be made out of corn syrup - didn't you know? Maybe this economical correction is the best thing yet! A fresh start at new "green" 21st century jobs where American can lead the way "out" of war for oil - and greed over oil! Please! The hell with the oil - let's go air, wind, solar for electrical power.

How about people getting honest for change and stop trying to rip people off or taking advantage of people's loses for corporate gain! What a bunch of ass holes! As a nation; as a people - we should do not have much to be proud of!

Imagine people working like dogs at low paying stupid jobs - the only ones left - to rip off other people - to treat people - to rob people!

Just another Neal Bush dirty Savings and Loan scandal! The Bush dynasty has been the worse yet. I thought Nixon was a down right "let's ripp'em off crook!". Reagan was no better.. chiseling away at safe guarding regulations - oh they knew it was to rip off the American people and an attempt to fool people and the economy for a while till the end of their term and then leave the next fool with all the mess! Of course McCain would have only continued on with the mess - he's no economist! This isn't a joke! Obama has an economic education that is much needed in this time of crisis. He has a clue - Bush is as dumb as this flower pot I'm sitting next to! An insult to the American public! Fool! Like we weren't aware of the things, the actual planning and shock and awe that lead us into a monetary war for oil and Halliburton products!

It all started with crooked Enron - Ken Lay - Bush's friend. Yeah he deceased alright! I got a bridge to no-way I'll sell you on that one! Yeah, take the money and run without penalty without punishment; not so even a hand slap! While millions of people lose their monetary futures; their hope and dreams!

But, when you are a big shot you can do what you want and it doesn't matter how many toes you step on - as long as you can do what you want - and get rich - and feel powerful - and buy what you want - to show off and appear successful to impress people - because people really give a crap about you - and forget it! You are not fooling anyway!

A good, Christian, decent person who at least take the money and help others out with it! A decent person is not ruthless and destructive to other's. What ever happened to ethics, honor and pride? In my mind - they are all a bunch of losers riding on the phoning bible fiction - it's all fiction! Written by mere mortals!

So, let's hope some of these jerks get some pride about themselves. Money certainly can't buy you health, respect or honor!

What a bunch of losers! Get those suckers off of Capitol Hill and take all those 34,000 losing lobbyist with you! Please!

Talk about another forest of crookery - thievery! The drug companies - inventing diseases to fulfil their own drug prescription needs! Pretty amazing! My friend has her own Lipitor story.. and now even off the drug she still doesn't feel right!

Yes, it pays to read and research.. but in today's sick economy (because we were allowed to be cheated and robbed) most people have to work two or three jobs to make ends meet (oh yeah it was very important that the rich - get rich! Who ever heard of CEO's making 800 times more than then their employees. Where I come from that is called embezzlement!

Too bad...

Obama can't just step up to the plate now and get moving on home foreclosures and stimulus packages for the average tax payer. Paulson is a Bush/Cheney agent and you know once again nothing will get accomplished for us.. only the rich. If only Obama could go to work right now.

In fact I think it's "their" last ditch effort to drain our economy and the average tax payer totally dry before "they" leave office!

Obama would have had an incentive package out here by now and he would create helpful ways for people missing house payments to save their home. But most importantly Obama by now would have the wheels in motion for a "green" environment and economy.

This evening on PBS, I believe, there will be a documentary about prescription drugs in our tap water. Probably from what we pee more than them being dumped down the drain. It is said that our filter systems only clear out so much! Ugh! And they don't want us drinking bottled water either saying there are PBR (or whatever) in the plastic that contaminates the water.

Oh woe are we! We do need a conscientious president. Bush is an idiot! All Bush and Cheney and H. W knew to do was remove regulation and restrictions and stipulations that protected the average tax payer and opened the 'greed" door for banks, finance companies with sub-prime rate loans practically forced on people with "car salesman like techniques".

So, can we possibly hang on - can the economy - hang on for sixty days? I certainly hope so! My intuition tells me the market will rebound bullistly like gang busters once it gets going. I believe that Obama will product incentives for medium size corporations and businesses to get "green" and our economy will not only survive but thrive!

Rachel

What a refreshing sight on TV.. Keith Oberman - go home! You stink! Who are you trying to be Jon Steward or Colbert..and Chris.. go ome Keith.. it's not appealing
Why do you have to be loud and forceful and ugh!

I want more of Rachel...Now's she's pleasant on the eyes and hears and is a Rhodes scholar I hear. And as cute as can be! She's the best! And she's not an egotistical smartass. She doesn't drown out people. And have you ever notices.. she appoligizes if it's call for.. you'll never hear a man do that - for anything. It's always someone's fault! Ugh!

blungering idiots

in Washington seem to be bumping into each other.. and no one is knowing who's doing what or what to do next?

Of course Republicans are adamating in favor of only helping CEO's and larger businesses...you know the ones who got us into this trouble anyway by there greedy creative methods of ripping off the American tax payer. But Republicans don't deal with us pions only big shot crooks in Washington and on Wall Street.

So guess that's not going to well so today Paulson said money is going to banks and brokerage.. not sure now. But it's all very scary.

I think China got a bail out and their market's went to health! The whole world economy is going to hell.

Thomas L. Friedman who wrote "Flat, warm and crowded" thinks we should not bail out the American auto companies. Why? Because they spent most of their profits on ads trying to get Americans in big gas guzzlers when the could have used that money to develop new hybrids (that got decent mileage)and electric plug in cars.

Let's face it.. the Republicans have made the biggest mess in history during the whole eight years and now that they have set up this miserable mess they are "bailing"! What a bunch of losers and masters of greedy lobbyist.. I hope they are all happy while America starves? What a bunch of crooks. Them alone with their big shot buddy CEO's picking profits in their pockets.. and bail out money too, I'm sure.. Well, they go unregulated so it's a free for well!

The president's job is to monitor and regulate and set restrictions and make sure people are treated propering and without treatery.. but of course Republicans only work for people of money! Bush is the worse pesident I think I have ever seen!

If he was a man, I mean a man - he would work with Obama now to get things in place to help the tax payers of this country.. the poor who are losing their money, homes, and jobs. What kind of an idiot is this man? He hasn't a clue! And no I don't fee sorry for him.. being the president is not some silly game you get into to one up your brother or to please your daddy! Daddy too was pissed because he lost to Clinton and then spent the whole eight years trying to tear Clinton down. And daddy Bush was pissed because he couldn't get Saddam Hussien.. so junior thinks he's going to get in there and save the day and be a big shot to his daddy. Trust me Cheney was running the show for daddy.. anyway what a mess! No one wins here. Well except big shot daddy's friends CEO crooks.. because since Reagan de-regulations and no over sight or restrictions lead the way.. and CEO's had a free for all and took the money and ran. This stuff went on way back when with Enron and Stupid Bush didn't have a clue!

Seems Paulson doesn't have a clue either. No wonder other countries hate us... for our "let bankers, CEO's and wall street run amok" attitude.

A president is supposed to over see, regulate and restrict the amount of money CEO people can make! It's not that hard to figure out Bush.... When lobbyist demand you merely say "NO!" So now we're in this mess that this last administration has created. Clinton left things in fine shape desspire all the crap Republicans tried to dish out and Bush managed in only 8 years to place this economy in near disaster! What fools!

Yes, the big three spent all their money trying to brain wash men mostly into living like their daddys and driving stupid retro gas guzzlers. What fools? What oil fools? This is the 21st century.. act like it! Cars need to be smaller.. we look ignorant and foolish. Like we don't give a damn about the environment.. like we don't give a damn about bundling and shipping off bad debt, knowing I might add, to other countries. How a bunch of losers... I'm actually feeling hoplessliess and embarrassed! All I have to say is that they better gets their acts together and work together.. and stop acting like stupid idiots and fix this mess! Instead they are probably all scambling around like a bunch of chickens trying to suck out the last dollar they can for themselves.

Joe lieberman is an embarrassment!

Pushing statin.. even onto people with normal

cholesterol! See the USA article below. Sure trying to push the sell of statins aren't they? See they are degrading Vitamins,, they want people to rather buy statins.. you know the drug companies..the greedy drug companies.. I heard the drug company head of the FDA (talk about double dipping or conflict of interest)wants to put all supplement under the control of the FDA. I guess they want to get all the money they can.. probably charge an arm and leg for them too! Hey Obama we need corporate oversight and regulations put back into play.. promto! Let's build up what Bush torn down.. fast.. before it destroys the global economy! Is that reason to call it treason? yet?

So here's the article I was talking about....if the drug companies had it their way every people alive would be on some kind of prescription drug.. well, give them time, they'll invent a few more diseases.. hey, how many times have you peed today.. over eight? Then you need a pill! (doesn't matter if you drank a ton of coffee - that's no excuse.. you need a pill I'm saying)! Gosh darn it!

By Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY

An eight-year study of more than 14,000 male physicians found that taking vitamin C and vitamin E did not prevent cardiovascular disease.

The findings for vitamin C are not surprising given the results of numerous studies that reached the same conclusion, says Howard Sesso, a professor at Harvard Medical School and lead author of the study. It will be published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

STATINS: Help even in those with normal cholesterol, study showsBETTER LIFE: More on heart health

But the findings for vitamin E are new because this was the first large, strictly controlled study to assess the supplement and how it affects the heart and blood vessels, Sesso says.



The men enrolled in the Physicians' Health Study II were broken into four groups, which were given vitamin C and a placebo, vitamin E and a placebo, C and E together, and placebo only. The dosages were 500 milligrams of vitamin C daily and 400 international units of vitamin E every other day. There were about 3,600 men in each group.

When results were assessed, it was found that neither C nor E had an effect on what the researchers call "major cardiovascular events," which include heart attacks, stroke or death.

The study results might seem disappointing for consumers, "but we actually feel this is important from a public health standpoint, given the frequency of these vitamins' use without having good data," Sesso says.

The hope that vitamins C and E might help prevent cardiovascular disease came from both animal and test-tube studies in which the antioxidants had shown heart benefits. There are also studies of people who followed diets rich in these vitamins and who also took supplements.

Annette Dickinson, former president of the Council for Responsible Nutrition, a supplement industry group, says the findings point to the need to place supplements in a context in which consumers are also taking other steps toward a healthful life.

"You pull a nutrient out of the whole diet context and you don't see the same effects," she says.

Dickinson says more research is needed to determine whether a higher dose or different form of vitamin E would be more effective.

Keynesian economics....

interesting! Now I know what it is

Named after John Maynard Keynes. And I"m quoting from

http://www.investorwords.com/2693/Keynesian_Economics.html
"
Keynesian Economics definition named for economist John Maynard Keynes. An economic theory wich advocates government intervention, or demand-side management of the economy, to achieve full employment and stable prices."

I agree, government should regulate and over see and intervene if necessary in wall street business transactions and activites. There should be auditors checking the books when a company goes public to protect investors. It's only reasonable. But, lobbyist wanted regulations extremely reduced and this govenment having the responsbility to protect the tax payers.. turned their backs and added a blind eye to fraudulent, unethical and corrupttion by companies. My opinion: You can't open the gate and not expect the carrle to roam freely!

In my opinon the offenses when hand in hand. Conservatives weren't going their jobs and Bush did not sign off several times when Democrats tried to past a bill to raise minimum wage! Just what was Bush thinking? And he tries to dissolve unions too! Of course businesses do not want taxes raises, or wages raised or have to content with unions but look at teh results of de-regulations through the republicans years in office.. every body is going belly up!

For the past eight years people were forced to charge more onto credit cards.. well, that's clue number one that people cannot make enough to keep up with the raising cost of everything - but wages!

The major fault by government is to not over see and audio public companies but instead let them run amok and big shot CEO's ran off with all the money.. so share holders got nothing and employees even less.

In just six months alone a half a million jobs have been lost! Because the economy was allowed to run with out over sight.. and one company had no idea what another was doing.. or maybe they did.. and they were top-dogging it see who could get more money faster.. who could own the most trophies in way of jets, houses, whatever, big shot CEO egotistical maniacs buy?

Our government is at fault here for turning the Federal Reserve, FDA and everything else over to the capitalist corporate heads themselves. Bush open the door and let the foxes into the hen house - he invited with de-regulation favors to lobbyist!

I believe Bush is the worse president I have ever seen.. but really daddy Bush knew W was an idiot and so his main men were Cheney and Rove.. let's clean house I guess they thoughts.. get attacked, make up an excuse, never find the guy.. probably one of the team! All to get a foot hold in oil country and especially bases all over the Middle East to protect our "interest" there (oil).

I wonder what really will happen when Obama tries to get us off of oil! I see already the oil people are advertising they are getting in on the "green" deal.. they'll just use lip service and stall like they have been doing for the past 40 years.

To my knowledge there has been no move away from fossil fuel or their use in making plastics for just about everything we use. You know you really never hear that end of it do you? About the plastics? So, see the DVD: "The Oil Factor" The story behind the terrorist attack! You can order through Netflix. Very interesting!

Yeah we'll get more lip out of the oil companies.. and are the American car companies really going under or is everyone waiting in line for a free hand out, I mean bail out, by the government.. so the big shot CEO's can be allowed to stick that in their pockets too - again without regulations or over sight!

I just can't believe the all around crooks we have had in Washington and on wall street.. betting on eocnomic futures.hedge funds, bundling of bad debt and shipping it off to foreign markets...nothing like bringing every body down. I guess the big shot CEO with all the money they stuffed in their pockets before the shit hit the fan are off on some tropical isle basting in the sun. Most of them probably are not even in this country anymore.. well, they have about ruined us (just like idiot Bush) then they just go off somewhere after they have done their damage.. again, they are not held accountable either. I guess if Nancy Peloski and Barney Frank went after the wrong doers in businessess they would have to go after the Bushes, all three, and the rest of the cronies.. they'll probably are not enough jails to hold them all.

I'd say things started going sour with Ken Lay, Bush's Enron buddy. Well, isn't it funny how he conveniently died right before he was scheduled to go to trail...you know he would have drugged in members of the white house.. they were friends.. you know! But, I suspect, he probably is hiding away on some island with all those people's futures in his pockets.. while the poor smucks he left behind to struggle are still struggling. Why? Just how much money do these poor excuses for humans need?

Obama and FDR blog comments.. very interesting

so I'm posting the web page so I can go back and read and re-read.. love history
especially when we just may be re-living a bit of it.. only this time globally:

http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2008/11/obama_and_fdr.html

Okay, I'm quoting a blog entry by Brooksfoe.. because I really liked it and thought it was brilliantly written.. I even commented to tell him so..
The following is his blog entry!

"The reason conservatives like to bruit this argument about is that trying to end recessions through public works programs is gay, while ending recessions by firebombing enemy cities is manly. Building national parks? Gay. Building B-29s? Manly. It wasn't the fiscal stimulus of WWII that ended the Depression; the Depression ended via a mysterious testosterone-plus-airborne-ordnance alchemical reaction which took place when the boots hit the beaches at Normandy. To solve the current economic crisis, in other words, we must bomb China. Though perhaps bombing Germany and Japan again might do the trick too -- with Toyota and BMW out of the way, Ford and GM might just have a shot at escaping bankruptcy."

Congrats to Brookfoe - I love this! So very well written!




"

I'm confused... so researching..thank god for the internet!

cholesterol lowering findings.. read my previous blog.. also, I just may go on the Dr. Atkens high protein diet.. but I'l stick to lean protein and egg whites.

Well this previous articles says our bodies produce cholesterol and if we don't get it in our diets our bodies product more..so. I know I've been getting a low protein diet? I am still researching.

But, I do know that when I have gone on the high protein diet my Cholesterol level went down to well below 200!

For the past two years my weight as been arund 130 and I've been running.. exercising a lot but eating mostly vegetables and fruits and carbs with less protein..less fat! Yes I am not kidding. So I think there is some truth into the prvious post article I've included. Last year my cholesterol was 256 and recently 258! See, my body is producing more cholesterol because I am not getting any in my diet! Thus, the Dr. Atken's diet makes sense and this previous article and book by Karl Loren makes sense! And it's worked for me in the past I've lost weight from 138 to 125 using the Dr. Atkins' diet and I'm going to try it again! Besides I have a constant graving to EAT whereas high protein diet curbs that constant graving to EAT!

So I'll start today with lean chicken and green beans which I have on hand now. I'm getting out my Dr. Atkins book and looking up receipes and I will keep this blog updated with my process! I'm excited.. what me me work...

Okay I was going for a run but I'm hungry I haven't had anything to eat yet today and it's 1:00 PM. So here I go. Oops had a Honey Stinger 35g Carb...(well, that's my carbs for the day) before I began my research and made my decision to go high protein. I'll drink lots of water.

Now I need to run (1:00 PM about) before this soy protein 25g of protein with about 16 oz. water.. wears off.

Wish me lot on my endeavor! I know a few years ago.. I lowered my LDL with Dr. Atkins High Protein diet.. of course I lost weight too.. but it seems natural carbs and little protein is rising my HDL is 73(should be more than 50 for a woman! but also my LDL 160 (130 would be okay)!

Wish me lot! I'll give it six weeks like that stupid Cheerio's commerical!

At this moment, I am not over weight and I exercise like hell! My blood pressure is great! 117/63 check several times.. So, something we very wrong here with a recommended diet of lots of fruits and vegetables and whole grains.. because I've been doing that.......do "they" want me to be on dangerous statins? Read my previous blog.. from earlier today!!

Cholesterol problems?

I found the following at a website:
http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/articles/p72.htm

What Is Cholesterol?

As I was preparing this article I wanted to find a "good" definition for "cholesterol." I have heard the terms "LDL," and "HDL" used, but never could get interested in really learning what those words meant.

I'm glad now that I didn't spend more time trying to understand LDL and HDL. The Trolls are grasping at straws. They first said that "high cholesterol" caused death from heart disease. That was easily proven to be false. So, they did what trolls often do, they brought out some new words, more complicated, and said that there was really "good cholesterol" and "bad cholesterol." This puzzled me, and perhaps it puzzles you?

For this article I decided I had to really get to the bottom of this -- and, as I said, I'm glad I waited. Of all the many sources I investigated for an explanation of these words, none of them made sense to me until I found Dr. Uffe's explanation. It is not very technical, and it is VERY good, so I urge you to learn these terms, from the full article I have published HERE:

Your cholesterol tells very little about your future health

Cholesterol is a peculiar molecule. [click here to see a molecular model] It is often called a lipid or a fat.

However, the chemical term for a molecule such as cholesterol is alcohol, although it doesn't behave like alcohol.

Its numerous carbon and hydrogen atoms are put together in an intricate three dimensional network, impossible to dissolve in water. All living creatures use this indissolvability cleverly, incorporating cholesterol into their cell walls to make cells waterproof. This means that cells of living creatures can regulate their internal environment undisturbed by changes in their surroundings, a mechanism vital for proper function. The fact that cells are waterproof is especially critical for the normal functioning of nerves and nerve cells. Thus, the highest concentration of cholesterol in the body is found in the brain and other parts of the nervous system.

Because cholesterol is insoluble in water and thus also in blood, it is transported in our blood inside spherical particles composed of fats (lipids) and proteins, the so-called lipoproteins.

[Karl: Consider these "spherical particles" to be like submarines that contain the cholesterol. The submarines floating along through water (or blood).]

Lipoproteins are easily dissolved in water because their outside is composed mainly of water-soluble proteins. The inside of the lipoproteins is composed of lipids, and here are room for water-insoluble molecules such as cholesterol. Like submarines, lipoproteins carry cholesterol from one place in the body to another.

The submarines, or lipoproteins, have various names according to their density.

The best known are HDL (High Density Lipoprotein), and LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein).

The main task of HDL is to carry cholesterol from the peripheral tissues, including the artery walls, to the liver. Here it is excreted with the bile, or used for other purposes, for instance as a starting point for the manufacture of important hormones.



The LDL submarines mainly transport cholesterol in the opposite direction. They carry it from the liver, where most of our body's cholesterol is produced, to the peripheral tissues, including the vascular walls.

When cells need cholesterol, they call for the LDL submarines, which then deliver cholesterol into the interior of the cells. Most of the cholesterol in the blood, between 60 and 80 per cent, is transported by LDL and is called ”bad” cholesterol, for reasons that I shall explain soon.

Only 15-20 percent is transported by HDL and called ”good” cholesterol.

A small part of the circulating cholesterol is transported by other lipoproteins.

You may ask why a natural substance in our blood, with important biologic functions, is called ”bad” when it is transported from the liver to the peripheral tissues by LDL, but ”good” when it is transported the other way by HDL.

The reason is that a number of follow-up studies have shown that a lower-than-normal level of HDL-cholesterol and a higher than-normal level of LDL-cholesterol are associated with a greater risk of having a heart attack, and conversely, that a higher-than-normal level of HDL-cholesterol and a lower-than normal LDL-cholesterol are associated with a smaller risk. Or, said in another way, a low HDL/LDL ratio is a risk factor for coronary heart disease.

However, a risk factor is not necessarily the same as the cause. Something may provoke a heart attack and at the same time lower the HDL/LDL ratio. Many factors are known to influence this ratio.

[Karl Note: He is very correct here! One of the biggest mistakes medical science makes is to equate "cause" with "effect." In other words, they SEE some effect, and put the label of "cause" on that effect. The label is a lie! The effect that was observed is often accurate. The "label" is a political decision, not a scientific one!]

What is good and what is bad?

People who reduce their body weight also reduce their cholesterol.

In a review of 70 studies Dr. Anne Dattilo and Dr. P.M. Kris-Etherton concluded that, on average, weight reduction lowers cholesterol by about 10 per cent, depending on the degree of the reduction. Interestingly, it is only cholesterol transported by LDL that goes down; the small part transported by HDL goes up. In other words, weight reduction increases the ratio between HDL- and LDL-cholesterol (1).

An increase of the HDL/LDL ratio is called ”favorable” by the diet-heart supporters; cholesterol is changed from ”bad” to ”good”. But is it the ratio or the weight reduction that is favorable?

When we become fat, other harmful things occur to us. One is that our cells become less sensitive to insulin, so that some of us develop diabetes. And people with diabetes are much more likely to have a heart attack than people without diabetes, because atherosclerosis and other vascular damage occur very early in diabetics, even in those without lipid abnormalities. In other words, overweight may increase the risk of a heart attack by mechanisms other than an unfavorable lipid pattern, while at the same time overweight lowers the HDL/LDL ratio.

Also smoking increases cholesterol a little.

Again, it is LDL-cholesterol that increases, while HDL-cholesterol goes down, resulting in an ”unfavorable” HDL/LDL ratio (2).

What is certainly unfavorable is the chronic exposure to the fumes from burning paper and tobacco leaves.

Instead of considering the low HDL/LDL ratio as bad it could simply be smoking itself that is bad. Smoking may provoke a heart attack and, at the same time, lower the HDL/LDL ratio.

Exercise decreases the bad LDL-cholesterol and increases the ”good” HDL-cholesterol (3).

In well-trained individuals the ”good” HDL is increased considerably. In a comparison between distance runners and sedentary individuals, Dr. Paul D. Thompson and his colleagues found that the athletes on average had a 41 per cent higher HDL-cholesterol level (4).

Most population studies have shown that physical exercise is associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease, and a sedentary life with a higher risk. It also seems plausible that a well-trained heart is better guarded against obstruction of the coronary vessels than a heart always working at low speed.

A sedentary life may predispose people to a heart attack and, at the same time, lower the HDL/LDL ratio.

A low ratio is also associated with high blood pressure (5). Most probably, the hypertensive effect is created by the sympathetic nerve system, which is often overstimulated in hypertensive patients. Hypertension (or too much adrenalin) may provoke a heart attack, for instance by inducing spasm of the coronary arteries or by stimulating the arterial muscle cells to proliferate, and, at the same time, lower the HDL/LDL ratio. [There is more to this data -- click here for the full article by Dr. Uffe.]

Well, you know, now that the only difference between HDL and LDL is the DIRECTION IN WHICH THE STUFF IS MOVING! I'll bet you've never seen that explanation before?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What Did You Miss?

By now you are wondering, What am I missing? Who said that margarine was safe and butter dangerous? Why should the government try to eliminate butter from the marketplace? You can see, above, that the government is helping the cottonseed people promote the value of their margarine against butter, on the basis of some sort of danger in butter.

What was the scientific basis for such claims?

Now, you have to go back in time to 1948 when the master planners secretly got some very early government money to start proving that butter was dangerous and margarine was safe and good for you. This very desirable conclusion, from their point of view, required two earlier inconvenient facts to be proven false:

First, it had been well established that cholesterol in the blood stream did not cause death from heart disease. If the master planners were to sell their oil they would have to reverse this truth.

Second, it had been well established that cholesterol in your diet did not cause cholesterol in your blood stream. It the master planners were to sell their oil they would have to reverse this truth.

The master planners concluded:

1. There needed to be research showing that high cholesterol in the blood caused death from heart disease.

The cholesterol myth started in 1913 when a Russian scientist, Dr. Nikolai Anitschkov, fed rabbits massive amounts of cholesterol -- the rabbits died of heart disease. Click here for more about this misleading study.

Later scientists, who had a point they wanted to prove, often quote these studies as the first proof that dietary cholesterol causes heart disease. It isn’t that these studies, in 1913, were so scientifically conducted, it was simply that they represent a historical foundation. If a scientist, today, wants to claim that dietary cholesterol causes high blood cholesterol and that that is the cause of heart disease, he will cite all sorts of studies, but in order to get some historical legitimacy he will often cite the 1913 study.

The 1913 study done by the Russian simply ignores the fact that rabbits are vegetarians and that their bodies cannot handle animal fat.

As my friend Dr. Mendelsohn would say, The Russian study proves conclusively that you should not feed butter to rabbits!

Today’s master planners will start off citing the rabbit study, but omit the fact that there were rabbits involved, or fail to mention that rabbits can’t use animal products in their diet -- they die! One of the most misleading of these is Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper:

With Anitschkov’s experiments, however, the connection between cholesterol-laden foods and hardening of the arteries began to be much clearer. Click here for more about Dr. Cooper.

2. Then, there was need for research which would show that a diet which is high in cholesterol (eggs and butter) would cause high cholesterol levels in the blood.

This second research need would have seemed insurmountable to any honest researcher. There were, by 1970, literally dozens of well-done scientific studies which showed the exact opposite -- that cholesterol in the diet had no significant effect on cholesterol in the blood stream.

The master planners have succeeded, as you realize. Health care costs go up, not for health, but for the profits of the drug industry. Click here to read one of the latest stories -- how health care will soon be at $3 trillion dollars per year -- about 17% of the entire GDP. Dr. Scott Grundy was the hidden author of the diet that is killing America! Dr. Grundy is still doing it -- click here for a recent article. Click here for his biographical information.

How did they do that?

One of these master planners was Dr. Daniel Steinberg. Dr. Steinberg could be called the father of death by cholesterol lies. Click here for a recent claim by him. But, he has also been whitewashed -- made to look respectable. Click here to read an interview in which he, now, endorses vitamins as a preventive for heart disease. The whitewasher should have known better. But, for a more candid view of Dr. Steinberg's real position, click here. I covered Dr. Steinberg, and the entire cholesterol lie in Chapter Five of my Book -- beware there is some heavy stuff here.


Dr. Steinberg was a physician who worked on cholesterol drug research at the University of California at San Diego. He was the Chairman of the Conference and cut off any speaker who criticized the lie that was being launched. He may wish to forget this, or hide it, but those who were there will remember. This "conference" was NOT administered in the way prescribed by the rules!

Another master planner was Dr. Robert I. Levy of Columbia University. In 1973, Levy was named director of NHLBI's extramural Division of Heart and Vascular Diseases where he coordinated a network of Lipid Research Clinics (LRC) to carry out research on blood-lipid abnormalities.

Another master planner was Dr. Richard Peto, an Oxford University epidemiologist. Review of dozens of scientific studies for which he gets credit do not include this infamous period when he contributed to the lies about cholesterol. He is another who hides his past -- as those guards at Nuremberg who, found after 50 years, claim that it was just too long ago for them to be brought to justice.

Technically, the head master planner would have been Dr. Basil M. Rifkind. He presented false data to the Conference and Dr. Steinberg cut off any debate on it. Dr. Rifkind had taken over from Dr. Steinberg, in some flawed research referred to as the Coronary Primary Prevention Trial, CPPT, of which more later. (Dr. Rifkind has been active spreading lies and preventing truth even a few years ago. He has not disappeared! But he lost out to the other trolls in prestige. )

Here is a quote from another researcher on this subject. Click here to read the entire report:

LRC [Lipid Research Clinics] researchers claimed that the group taking the cholesterol-lowering drug had a 17 per cent reduction in the rate of CHD [coronary heart disease], with an average cholesterol reduction of 8.5 per cent. This allowed LRC trials Director Basil Rifkind to claim that "for each 1% reduction in cholesterol, we can expect a 2% reduction in CHD events".

The statement was widely circulated, even though it represented a completely invalid representation of the data - especially in light of the fact that when the University of Maryland lipid group analyzed the LRC data, they found no difference in CHD events between the group taking the drug and those on the placebo.


There is much more to this complete story. It is all among the links on this page and in the several Chapters of my Book, Life Flow One, The Solution For Heart Disease. I urge you to study further.

I am not including HERE much of the corrupt history of the Framingham Studies -- all of that data is in my Book.

Here is part of that, however, from THIS SOURCE:

The ongoing Framingham Study found that there was virtually no difference in coronary heart disease (CHD) "events" for individuals with cholesterol levels between 205 mg/dL and 294 mg/dL - the vast majority of the US population. Even for those with extremely high cholesterol levels - up to almost 1,200 mg/dL - the difference in CHD events compared to those in the normal range was trivial. This did not prevent Dr William Kannel, then Framingham Study Director, from making claims about the Framingham results. "Total plasma cholesterol," he said, "is a powerful predictor of death related to CHD."

It was not until more than a decade later, in 1992, that the real findings at Framingham were published - without fanfare - in the Archives of Internal Medicine, an obscure journal. "In Framingham, Massachusetts," admitted Dr William Castelli, Kannel's successor, "the more saturated fat one ate, the more cholesterol one ate, the more calories one ate, the lower people's serum cholesterol ... we found that the people who ate the most cholesterol, ate the most saturated fat, ate the most calories, weighed the least and were the most physically active."

Corruption Within The Heart, Lung And Blood Institute
Another Troll, Dr. Lenfant has been part of the corruption within the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute which allowed cholestyramine to be sanctioned as the first officially recommended cholesterol-lowering drug by the government. This stuff was so unpleasant in taste that when it was tested the researchers allowed for the possibility that up to 35% of the people taking it would refuse to continue. A large percentage of people who were supposed to be part of the official scientific trial of this stuff refused to take it. The cholesterol-lowering effect was also much less than they needed to substantiate its use. Dr. Lenfant ALSO changed the way blood pressure is measure and doomed us to decades of harmful drugs thereby. Click to learn more on that one!

Cholestyramine continues to be still available for sale -- under the brand name Questran, marketed by Bristol Laboratories.

Merck Sharp & Dohme's drug lovastatin (Mevacor) later became the drug officially sanctioned by the United States Government, and the one, had the master planners had their way, which you would have been forced to take, even against your will. (Source)

I am not including HERE more evidence of corruption at the National Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute. For the purposes of this article THIS was the group that approved a cholesterol-lowering drug even though the study showed that it had no value.

There is so much more!

Even if YOU are not taking a cholesterol-lowering drug, there are millions of others, around you, who are taking Lipitor and others. They have swallowed the lies of these trolls -- you can help some of them. Give them a copy of this material, ask them to read it. Some will.

The world doesn't much seem that it wants to be saved! But, here and there, among the many, are the few who are aware enough to seek out the truth and test it, then apply it.

Dr. Uffe Ravnskov Demolishes The Cholesterol Myths!

As I prepared to write this major research report about cholesterol I spent many hours looking for a "good" definition and description of cholesterol. Many of the results of my searches are among these pages, but none of those ever satisfied me. When I found THIS article, by Dr. Ravnskov, I was instantly amazed at the simplicity and thoroughness of the explanation. Thus I am now using THIS reference to "cholesterol" as my central focus for the simple definition and description of this term. I have taken the liberty, further, of adding comments within this article to point out information that I think needs further detail or emphasis. I also found Dr. Ravnskov's Book on this subject and have one illustrative Chapter from that book, excerpted below or the whole Chapter -- click here.

Did you know. . .

. . . that cholesterol is not a deadly poison, but a substance vital to the cells of all mammals?

. . . that your body produces three to four times more cholesterol than you eat?

. . . that this production increases when you eat only small amounts of cholesterol and decreases when you eat large amounts?

. . . that the "prudent" diet, low in saturated fat and cholesterol, cannot lower your cholesterol more than a small percentage?

. . . that the only effective way to lower cholesterol is with drugs?

. . . that many of the cholesterol-lowering drugs are dangerous to your health and may shorten your life?

. . . that the new cholesterol-lowering drugs, called statins, do lower heart-disease mortality, but this is because of effects other than cholesterol lowering? Unfortunately, they also stimulate cancer, at least in rodents.

. . . that you may become aggressive or suicidal if you lower your cholesterol too much?

. . . that polyunsaturated fatty acids, those which are claimed to prevent heart attacks, stimulate infections and cancer in rats?

. . . that if you eat too much polyunsaturated oil you will age faster than normal? You will see this on the outside as wrinkled skin. You can’t see the effects of premature aging on the inside of your body, but you will certainly feel them.

. . . that too much polyunsaturated oil may provoke atherosclerosis?

. . . that people whose blood cholesterol is low develop just as many plaques in their blood vessels as people whose cholesterol is high?

. . . that more than thirty studies of more than 150,000 individuals have shown that people who have had a heart attack haven’t eaten more saturated fat or less polyunsaturated oil than other people?

. . . that old women with high cholesterol live longer than old women with low cholesterol?

. . . that many of these facts have been presented in scientific journals and books for decades but proponents of the diet heart hypothesis never tell them to the public?

. . . that the diet-heart idea and the cholesterol campaign create immense prosperity for researchers, doctors, drug producers and the food industry?

Dr. Uffe has also written THIS about cholesterol.

Dr. Claude Lenfant -- Master Planner -- Corrupter of Truth -- Troll!
Here is Congressional Testimony by Dr. Claude Lenfant, Director of the National Heart, Blood & Lung Institute -- one of the major trolls responsible for millions of deaths in the United States and the rest of the world. Click here to read his verbal testimony, and click here to read his "prepared statements." Here is an evil person.

"During the 1950s, it was observed that a patient who was receiving chelation therapy for lead poisoning coincidentally experienced relief of angina symptoms. Since that time, many patients have sought and received chelation therapy for atherosclerosis, a "hardening of the arteries" that leads to heart disease and stroke. One theory behind using chelation to treat this disease is that it may remove calcium, which is present in some atherosclerotic lesions, and therefore decrease the obstruction in the arteries.

"The patient receives repeated intravenous infusions of the drug EDTA that, some believe, grasps the calcium and pulls it from the area of obstruction."

This last statement by Dr. Claude Lenfant is, of course, absolutely false -- Lenfant is repeating it because many IV doctors, foolishly, still say this same thing!

The lies started by the trolls have spread world-wide. CLICK HERE for an interesting, if covert, message from an Associate Professor in Japan -- a man who finds fault with my article about cholesterol.

Who are the "some" he quotes? The foolish ACAM doctors! I wrote about this many months ago -- unfortunately it remains true. The IV doctors are their own worst enemies!

Notice, here, how ACAM has harmed itself. ACAM has continued to refuse to recognize that EDTA removes metals, and that metals cause free radical multiplication, and that free radicals cause heart disease. Thus, a scientist or doctor, like Dr. Lenfant, can shoot holes in the EDTA therapy simply by alluding to the foolishness of EDTA directly affecting calcium. Thus, Lenfant brings up the handling of calcium by EDTA when he knows, full well, that is NOT how it works, and the ACAM doctors are stuck in their own corner -- not willing or able to speak the truth about their own specialty!]

"However, others believe that when EDTA is administered intravenously, it encounters and binds with calcium circulating in the blood, and not with any calcium that may exist in the atherosclerotic lesions. According to this view chelation therapy not only may be ineffective in reversing atherosclerosis, but also may expose the patient to risk by depleting the body of calcium and other essential nutrients. "

Another foolish straw man put up by Lenfant, so he could knock it down -- Oh! What an evil man this is!

"There is, in fact, no sound evidence that EDTA chelation therapy is effective or has clinical benefit for atherosclerosis. For nearly three decades, the NHLBI has carefully followed the scientific literature on this issue. Our thorough and critical review of the published literature on EDTA chelation, which includes numerous case studies and testimonials, identified only two scientifically rigorous clinical trials, neither of which found any benefit of the therapy."

The Original Troll Slayer -- Thomas Moore
Here is the man who started it all -- writing the brave Book, now out of print, "Heart Failure."

Click here for one of the most powerful Chapters from his Book.

It was Mr. Moore's book that got ME, Karl Loren, passionate about writing my own Book on heart disease. Mr. Moore has done a major service to mankind. Unfortunately his Book got him into enough trouble that he has not continued writing along that line -- the pressures involved here must be measured in the many, many billions of dollars.

His Book is out of print! Few remember it!

The cholesterol-lowering drugs are the single largest category of profitable drugs. Every drug company is in on the act. If Mr. Moore's Book had been accepted as true, and his truth spread through the "news media" then literally billions of dollars of drug company profits would have been lost and some millions of Americans would not have died when they did.

Click here for a page that describes his Book, for sale, if you can find one.

Mr. Moore's Book can take credit for saving many lives, as shown here:

The death rate on the operating table, from bypass surgery, varies from 1% to as high as 25% depending on what doctor holds the knife. The differences used to be greater, but publicity started by Thomas Moore’s book, Heart Failure, forced several hospitals to transfer (rather than to report to the police for murder) those surgeons whose death rates were too high. But, the average death rate, under the knife, is about 5%. (Source)

Mr. Moore is also the man who exposed this false information:

In 1971 these master planners formed the Task Force on Arteriosclerosis. The terrible story behind this corrupt group is very well told by Thomas Moore in his Book, Heart Failure.

Over many pages, in great detail, Mr. Moore reports on individual master planners. There was a peak in their activities, in December, 1984, when they formed the Consensus Development Conference. The previous link is for a description of the process, itself -- a "consensus development conference." Click Here to see the actual document from the 1984 Conference.

Another Slayer Of Trolls

Sally Fallon and Dr. Mary Enig are two others who have been battling the cholesterol trolls! Mary, unlike Dr. Uffe, has named the names of the trolls in her writings. She hasn't told the whole story about butter and margarine, but she has done more investigative work on the actual sources of the cholesterol lies than any other person, except me and Mr. Moore, author of "Heart Failure."

Here is a full story about the cholesterol myths, and the constant rejection by so-called serious publications to print the truth about cholesterol. The full report by Dr. Enig and Ms. Fallon is HERE.


The problem with the 40 years of NHLBI-sponsored research on lipids, cholesterol and heart disease was that it had not produced many answers—at least not many answers that the NHLBI was pleased with. The ongoing Framingham Study found that there was virtually no difference in coronary heart disease "events" for individuals with cholesterol levels between 205 mg/dL and 294 mg/dL—the vast majority of the US population. Even for those with extremely high cholesterol levels—up to almost 1200 mg/dL, the difference in CHD events compared to those in the normal range was trivial.29 This did not prevent Dr. William Kannel, then Framingham Study Director, from making claims about the Framingham results. "Total plasma cholesterol" he said, "is a powerful predictor of death related to CHD." It wasn’t until more than a decade later that the real findings at Framingham were published—without fanfare—in the Archives of Internal Medicine, an obscure journal. "In Framingham, Massachusetts," admitted Dr. William Castelli, Kannel’s successor "the more saturated fat one ate, the more cholesterol one ate, the more calories one ate, the lower people’s serum cholesterol. . . we found that the people who ate the most cholesterol, ate the most saturated fat, ate the most calories weighed the least and were the most physically active." (source)

Mary Enig, alone, has also publicized that something called "trans-fatty acids" are much more found in margarine than in butter, and that these trans-fatty acids are very harmful.

The final results of Enig's ground-breaking compilation were published in the October 1983 edition of the Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society. Her analyses of more than 220 food items, coupled with food disappearance data, allowed University of Maryland researchers to confirm earlier estimates that the average American consumed at least 12 grams of trans fat per day - directly contradicting ISEO assertions that most Americans consumed no more that 6 to 8 grams of trans fat per day. Those who consciously avoided animal fats typically consumed far more than 12 grams of trans fat per day. (Source)

Click here for a German language condemnation of cholesterol as having anything to do with heart disease.

One method of selling more of these useless, even harmful, drugs is for the drug companies to apply to the FDA for permission to sell their drugs "over the counter" rather than through prescription.

That is finally happening, in 2005.

Should cholesterol-lowering statins, the biggest selling drugs in the world, be available to consumers as easily as aspirin -- on drugstore shelves without a prescription?

A joint venture between Merck & Co. and Johnson & Johnson is asking for permission to sell a 20-milligram dose of Merck's Mevacor over-the-counter, arguing that the step would extend the benefits of the drugs to potentially millions of patients who currently aren't taking them. (Source)

Before they tried to shift these drugs to "OTC" status, it had became obvious that cholesterol was NOT responsible for heart disease, the trolls came up with the concept of "good cholesterol" and "bad cholesterol. Click one on of the links below for what a famous scientist has to say about that one! That is demolished as valid science by all those exposing the old cholesterol myth. But, there is now a brand new culprit in the heart disease arena. It is now "C-Reactive Protein." You can click here to learn about it, but what you really should know about it is that it is what will gradually push cholesterol off the medical claims pages. Here are some of the references on THIS web site:

In other words, the medics will never admit they were "wrong" about cholesterol, but they will now start talking about this "new thing" until cholesterol is just old news, and the "new science" suggests that "C Reactive Protein" is REALLY the problem. Here is an excerpt from the Wall Street Journal, one year after the above references, showing that, indeed, C Reactive Protein IS the new problem -- sliding the always-false cholesterol scare further down the scale of people's awareness.

Here comes the Wall Street Journal, one of the final endorsements of false drug science -- validating the importance of "C-Reactive Protein" (whatever that may be) and making you comfortable with the "false fact" that your Lipitor is still effective, but that it is now found to be effective against a new villain -- now that the old villain is proven false. (Source)

Wall Street Journal:

In findings that could change medical care for heart patients and spur a new wave of drug development, two research groups reported compelling new evidence in the effort to prevent heart attacks: Reducing levels of a protein known as CRP may be just as important as fighting cholesterol.

Cardiologists who led the studies said the findings are likely to transform how doctors think about and use cholesterol-lowering statins, the world's top-selling class of drugs and a major weapon against the ravages of cardiovascular disease.

The results also amount to the strongest evidence yet that CRP, or c-reactive protein, is a cause of heart disease. That is likely to spur already heightened interest among drug companies to develop other medicines that would reduce levels of CRP. (Source)

C Reactive Protein is just another symptom of heart disease caused by free radical damage to the cells in the arteries. For some years into the future you will see cholesterol being minimized and C Reactive Protein being emphasized.

It is planned!

Another slayer of trolls is Dr. Elmer Cranton, who wrote:

A recent multi-country study in Europe, funded by the World Health Organization, showed that low blood levels of vitamin E are statistically 100 times more significant as a predictor of coronary heart disease than are high blood levels of cholesterol.(141). In another report, all published autopsy studies that correlated the extent of atheromatous arterial plaque with levels of blood cholesterol were reviewed. Surgical specimens removed at the time of bypass surgery were also analyzed. After eliminating data from those few individuals with a hereditary form of extremely high cholesterol (above 400 mg/dL), no correlation was found between blood cholesterol levels and the severity of atherosclerosis.(142) The author stated that prior studies falsely concluded that blood cholesterol levels correlated with atherosclerosis because of failure to eliminate those occasional individuals with extremely high cholesterol caused by a lethal genetic mutation. (source)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The National Cholesterol Education Program -- Dr. James Cleeman -- Troll!
Dr. Cleeman was chosen many years ago to head the campaign to sell lies to the American public. He has bragged of how successful he has been. He is a troll --- guilty of preying on humans by spreading false information that has caused millions of Americans to abandon the diet of their grandparents and enrich the pockets of the margarine makers and the cholesterol-lowering drug people. he is a troll, indeed.

Here is a quote from the Book, Heart Failure, by Thomas Moore:

ONE MORNING IN EARLY OCTOBER OF 1987 THE U.S. health authorities announced that 25 percent of the adult population had a dangerous condition requiring medical treatment. Since there were no symptoms, it would be necessary to screen the entire population to identify those in danger. More than half of those screened would be dispatched to their physicians for medical tests and evaluation. Then for one out of four adults treatment would begin. The first step would be a strict diet under medical supervision. If within three months the dieting had not achieved specified results that could be verified by laboratory tests, a more severe diet would be imposed. The final step for many patients would be powerful drugs to be taken for the rest of their lives. (Source)

You have probably read a few "conspiracy stories" or at least been exposed to them?

I've noticed that as exciting as they often are, they are very short on the type of details you can check out -- yourself. Yet, Dr. Cleeman is STILL the head of this "educational program" and he has been in the news, with his picture and title, recently. He exists. I say to you that he is one of the terrible trolls -- that is my opinion. What is yours?

The Current Scene

The popular media in the United States continue to spread these lies, as shown in the cover of Newsweek for July 13, 2003, and the related story:

Welcome to the age of statins. If you aren’t taking a cholesterol-lowering drug yourself, chances are you know someone who is. And it’s not necessarily an overweight, out-of-shape sports fan in his 50s who ventures off the couch only in search of chips and beer. An estimated 12 million to 15 million American adults of every age and description—from Gen-Xers to their octogenarian grandparents—depend on America’s most popular prescription drugs to scour their bloodstreams of LDL cholesterol, the waxy goo that can block arteries and cause heart attacks and strokes. And, according to federal health guidelines, 21 million more Americans should be taking statins to help ward off cardiovascular disease. Statins have become so critical in the war against cholesterol that a leading statin researcher compares them to the ultimate miracle med. Says Dr. Rory Collins of Oxford University: “Statins are the new aspirin.” (source)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Final Objective -- Drugging America Into Submissive Apathy! -- The Trolls Are Winning!

First the trolls wanted to convince you that butter was dangerous. Then they wanted you to change your diet -- Dr. Scott Grundy was the architect of that diet -- hidden behind the walls of the American Heart Association at the time. Just a short while ago he was the one to announce to America that the "danger level" for cholesterol had just been reduced, and that another 20+ million people now must take a cholesterol-lowering drug. I wrote about that in a Wednesday Letter -- HERE. The American Heart Association, of course, continues to spread the lies -- click here.

Then they convinced you that your high cholesterol was because you were weak and unable to stick to their diet. So, they then suggested you might have to take a cholesterol-lowering drug for the rest of your life! They have succeeded. If the drug didn't work, then bypass surgery, another fraud, was ready for you.

They may have succeeded with society as a whole, but YOU, as an individual, can still escape the clutches of these trolls -- the truth is what you need to set you free!

The sales of just ONE of the cholesterol-lowering drugs, Lipitor, climbed 28% from 1999 to 2000, as reported in the Wall Street Journal:

During the period under investigation, Lipitor was owned by Warner-Lambert Co., which co-marketed the drug with Pfizer. In 2000, Pfizer completed a hostile takeover of Warner-Lambert, in large measure to gain complete control over Lipitor, which is the New York-based company's biggest seller and most important drug. Last year, Pfizer reported Lipitor sales of $6.45 billion, a 28% increase compared with 2000. Source

and another quote from the WSJ on March 29, 2002. Lipitor is the NUMBER ONE drug in sales:

WASHINGTON -- Spending on prescription drugs jumped 17% last year, raising concerns about further big increases in health-insurance premiums and steeper pharmacy bills for those without drug coverage.

The National Institute for Health Care Management Foundation said in a report to be released Friday that spending rose sharply because more people are using prescription drugs, more people are buying more expensive drugs and prescription-drug prices in general are rising faster than the cost of living. Source


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the Test Results are Too Low -- Change The Tests!

The terrible truth that 50% of all those who have had heart attacks had "normal" cholesterol OUGHT to teach these fools that high cholesterol is NOT associated with the cause of heart disease. This page is that major article by me, Karl Loren. But, when the observations don't fit the theory, then you invent new and different tests -- that the "normal tests" for cholesterol must be "wrong." Then, all you have to do is design a new test that shows more people with high cholesterol, so you can then scare them into taking more Lipitor. There is no end to the evil in this business!

This VAP test is another complete fraud in the largest medical industrial business in the world -- heart disease!

There is another change of the ground rules. Originally the "safe" level of cholesterol was set at the apparent "national average" of 200. When that hasn't sold enough Lipitor, the great gods of science decided to change the level at which cholesterol would be considered dangerous. You understand this is all trash science!



New Government Cholesterol Standards Would Triple Number of Prescriptions (May 2001)

Rarely have so few doctors recommended so many drugs for so many people -- virtually overnight.

For the first time in eight years, the federal government has published new cholesterol standards. If the more rigorous guidelines are widely followed, doctors could end up writing a stack of prescriptions that would nearly triple -- to 36 million people -- the number of Americans on cholesterol-lowering drugs.

The recommendations would put fully 18% of American adults on "statin" drugs like Pfizer Inc.'s Lipitor, Merck & Co.'s Zocor and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.'s Pravachol. And the new guidelines could theoretically triple U.S. sales of these medicines to nearly $30 billion a year.

The standards come from the National Cholesterol Education Program's expert committee on cholesterol, and they are published in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association. The quasigovernmental group was appointed by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, which is part of the National Institutes of Health.

Under the guidelines, anyone who already has coronary artery disease and whose LDL, or "bad," cholesterol is above 130 generally should be on drug therapy. "We used to say to try lowering it with diet first, but now we say that if your LDL is above 130 and you have coronary disease, you should be on drug therapy," says the committee's chairman, Scott M. Grundy, director of the center for human nutrition of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.

. . . . .

Some doctors suggest the financial ties of some committee members may have played a role in the emphasis on drug therapy. Five of the 14 panel members were consultants to -- or received honorariums from -- Pfizer, Merck, Bristol-Myers or other companies, including AstraZeneca PLC, maker of the experimental drug Crestor, which may be the most powerful cholesterol drug yet. "This whole program has the flavor of a drug industry/NIH cabal," says Sidney Wolfe, director of the Health Research Group of Public Citizen, a Washington-based consumer advocacy group. "The fundamental principles are correct, but it seems like they are pushing too hard toward drug therapy." [Source]

It is hard to believe how blatant this attack on our public health is.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Depth Of Research -- Enormous!

I, Karl Loren, have spent more time researching this article than any other newsletter I've written.

I have published literally hundreds of NEW pages, in addition to the thousands of previously published pages about the cholesterol myth.

You won't find a more complete story about the fraud of cholesterol claims by the trolls anywhere else on the planet. This newsletter, when printed on paper will take about 31 pages, but there are literally HUNDREDS of more pages linked from this one newsletter.

I urge you to take the time to read it all. Make a copy for your hard disk! Who knows whether it might not just be deleted from here???

Why?

Because you are one of the very tiny number who are learning the truth about cholesterol -- because you have a responsibility to your family, friends, neighbors and mankind to help spread this truth. Evil is a real force on this planet. The drug companies making $10 BILLION per year in sales of a worthless drug? Do you think they might use some illegal means to clamp down on this story?

I invite you to write to me, Karl Loren, personally, to tell me what you think of this information. CLICK HERE to go to the message page -- write to me. I will respond, personally, and will publish your opinion, questions, comments on a page located HERE.

Research References

This Wednesday Letter is one of the most heavily researched writing projects that I, Karl Loren, have ever undertaken. There are probably at least 3,000 pages among my 12 web sites that deal in one way or another with the subject of "cholesterol," and probably a few hundred were added JUST BECAUSE of my research for this article.

Not too many of my readers will want to spend the dozens of hours going through all these pages, but some might, and some might like to know that this resource is available anytime they want to take a look. The article above includes many links to other sections and pages. The most important of these many pages, and others, are now shown below.

You may well run into some doctor or other person who simply dismisses the claim I make: "Cholesterol is not a factor in predicting heart disease -- the entire campaign to get people to take cholesterol-lowering drugs is a fraud!" But, challenge any of these people to read through these references, write to me, Karl Loren, personally, as they may wish to refute anything they find, and see if they can continue with their foolish false notion about cholesterol.

All the links below are among the 15,000 pages and 12 web sites published by me, Karl Loren.

One index page contains many links to other pages on the subject of cholesterol. This index page would be a good place to take a look at, glance over the many titles of other web pages, and click on any that interest you. This page is located at: http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/articles/indexcholesterol.htm

One particular web site has several very useful references to cholesterol:

Any serious researcher, wanting to get full advantage of my 15,000 pages, should read how the Google search feature works on these web sites. The Google search feature, on every page on these webs, allows you to search for any word or phrase on any one of the 12 web sites -- the search is very fast and helpful. Go to the one page that describes all the features of using the Google Search: http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/articles/google1.htm

Using the Google Search feature with the word "cholesterol" gives a very large number of link references on each of several webs. Take a look:
