Autism Ideas – Part 3 – Kissinger’s Brice’s Mind Files

The species Homo sapiens has a fantastic capacity to memorize information. Of course every mammal can remember some things, and so can invertebrates, but I’m talking major. I’m talking about being able to record every detail of what one is exposed to, day after day.

A man named Kim Peek, who passed away two years ago, had committed 12,000 books to memory. His brain knew what was on each page of those books! (His life story was presented in the movie “The Rain Man.”)

A century earlier, Russian psychiatrist A R Luria recorded the case of a ‘mnemonist,’ named ‘S,’ who couldn’t seem to shed even his short term memories, something we normals or to use the current buzzword, we neurotypicals — do after the passage of less than five minutes.

I am here to say something about autism, this article being third in my Autism Ideas series, but I have a hidden agenda as well. I am here to clobber Henry Kissinger, and the many, many doctors who have for decades participated in an evil program of mind control. So there! the agenda is no longer hidden! Mine is a polemical position, and a cri de coeur. Or as we say in the land of freedom fries, C’est un cri de coeur bigtime.”

ONE AUTISTIC INDIVIDUAL’S WAY OF THINKING IN PICTURES

Dr. Temple Grandin proudly wrote the book “Thinking in Pictures” (2006 free online) to describe how her mind developed. Probably owing to her autism, Temple has a way of storing all her information, all her knowledge, visually. Most of us store it symbolically.

(As far as I know, my knowledge is stored in words, and words are but symbols.) Temple Grandin says, “When I was a child and a teenager, I thought everybody thought in pictures. I had no idea that my thought processes were different.”

Grandin compares herself to the aforementioned guy named ‘S.’ She says: “My own thought patterns are similar to those described by A. R. Luria in “The Mind of a Mnemonist” [about] a man who worked as a newspaper reporter and could perform amazing feats of memory. Like me [Temple], the mnemonist had a visual image for everything he had heard or read.”

Grandin also recognizes an affinity with “rain man” — who, by the way, was not autistic although the movie producers decided it would be helpful to the audience to portray him that way. She says, “When I read, I translate written words into color movies or I simply store a photo of the written page to be read later. WHEN I RETRIEVE THE MATERIAL, I SEE A PHOTOCOPY OF THE PAGE IN MY IMAGINATION” (emphasis added)

She thinks it likely that the rain man “used a similar strategy to memorize telephone books, maps, and other information. He simply photocopied each page of the phone book into his memory. When he wanted to find a certain number, he just scanned pages of the phone book that were in his mind. To pull information out of my memory, I have to replay the video.”

Grandin is ever grateful for her skill at visualizing, as it helped her to become an inventor of farm machinery. She can rotate images in her mind and perform many a neat trick. This was also a talent of Nikola Tesla (and on that note, may God help us all).

All was not advantageous, however, for rain man Kim Peek, who hardly coped with daily life. As for the Russian known only as ‘S,’ Jerome Bruner deduces, from Luria’s book, that ‘S’ was so unselective “that what remains behind is a kind of junk heap of impressions.” The patient “suffered from a failure to organize or ‘regularize’ what was remembered into schemata.”

Amazingly, it is possible to deliberately doctor someone’s brain, early in life, so that they end up with an eidetic memory (one that can photograph pages of books), as will be argued below.

CLOBBERING HANK

Let’s get straight to the clobbering. Oh dear. No sooner have I said that than I feel guilty. I actually do not want to clobber Henry Kissinger at this late date, but I wish we had threatened him with vile punishment in order to deter him from the unbelievable crimes he has committed. He did his worst in Asia, Africa and Latin America, in other words the developing world (developing? what exactly is being developed, one wonders).

But he did not forget the nation that gave him the honor to serve, first as National Security Advisor — “Just call me Excellency”– and then as Secretary of State — “How divine I am!”

He started to work for the US Army in the 1940s and was groomed at Harvard for greater things. (Actually there’s reason to query whether one can get greater than Harvard in those things, but we won’t go into that today. If you’re not aware of ol’ Veritas’s role in mind control you could be in for a shock.)

By the 1968 election Henry was ready to be Cabinetized, in either a Democrat or Republican administration! That, plus moonlighting in the KGB. The phrase ‘one-stop shopping’ comes to mind, doesn’t it? It does if you be as skeptical of the “Cold War” as I.

WHO IS MS BRICE TAYLOR?

You get born in California in 1951 and you think you are going to have a nice life. Oh, but you don’t realize that there are two America’s. One is normal and the other is about as perverted as the human imagination can conjure. Thanks to wholesale importing of fascist psychiatrists from Europe after World War II, there were major ‘studies’ going on in the US.

Well, they were called ‘studies’ — as in “We’ll need new psychological weapons should we ever have the misfortune to be dragged into another war.” (The army is STILL saying that.) But there was also sadism for its own sake.

‘Brice Taylor’ is the pseudonym for Sue Ford, born into a family of the kind called ‘multi-generational.’ Not that every family doesn’t have multi-generationality, but in the jargon of mind control it means that the child’s parents and grandparents were themselves twisted from infancy.

The story is that they were in religious cults and had to commit ritual atrocities. More likely the cabal (a.k.a., the Illuminati), that has run the world since about 1770, made sure to invent cults for the very purpose of producing a ‘crop’ of people who’d then be available as torturers.

Am I sure of what I am talking about? Yes. Excellent research has been published, and on the Internet you can look for “Svali,” who tells pretty thoroughly a day in the life of a cult. Svali also shows how well penetrated is every occupational group, all answering ultimately to the Illuminati. Note: I’d prefer a different name for them, but they do call themselves ‘Illuminati,’ the enlightened (!). Sure, they are pathetic but it is a colossal mistake for us to ignore them.

One reason I’m so confident about mind control is that doctors absolutely refuse to breathe a word about this subject. There are declassified CIA documents galore, on the ‘Net, so it would be easy for doctors to verify this but instead they are silent. Like they have been brainwashed.

Sue Ford, whom I will refer to as Brice, since that is the name under which she wrote her 1999 book “Thanks for the Memories,” was a slave owned by Bob Hope that’s Bob Hope the comedian. (His theme song, you may recall, was “Thanks for the Memories.”) He was ‘in’ with Kissinger. Or they were both in the mafia, or whatever. Brice Taylor was happily married to a dentistry student Craig Ford, at University of Southern California, and was herself a student at Pepperdine.

The fact that her husband did not object to her being regularly kidnapped from the home and consigned to prostitution indicates that he, too, was probably ‘under control.’ Eventually, she claims, their son was also turned into a slave for Henry. (That boy needs Society’s protection TODAY. It is completely up to us to put a stop to the flourishing slave trade in the US.)

Every member of the Secret Service is indubitably aware of what happened to Brice. She had access to residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Av for three decades and was tasked with delivering messages, from the cabal, to various US leaders and others such as California’s governors Ronald Reagan and Pete Wilson.

KISSINGER HAS NARY A SCRUPLE ABOUT TAKING OVER BRICE’S BRAIN

In her book, Brice says: “Henry spent time at UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute in Westwood, California, in the area where they tested me and worked on my brain with all of their high tech equipment; bright lights, goggles, drugs, electroshock, CAT scan tubes, etc. Henry told me to hop up on the table. The doctor examined my reflexes and looked into my eyes with different lights and gave me tastes and smells and all sorts of things that they said would powerfully affect my brain.” (How interesting.)

“Another time doctors in white coats played perceptual mind games with me at a NASA installation. They put huge eye machines up to my face and had me close one eye and then the other in order to program each side of the brain separately. Some things were then reversed and programmed into another area of my brain through the opposite eye. They called this “cross-programming.” Information for mind file use was stored only on one side of my brain. Then, they allowed me to rest a moment before they injected me with some drug ”

I pause here to apologize to any reader who has hitherto been aware of these macabre dealings that take place right in our ‘university hospitals.’ But now you’ll attempt to stop it, won’t you?

A word about Luria’s patient, the mnemonist known as ‘S’. I suspect ‘S’ may have been fiddled with. It’s true that Kim Peek and Temple Grandin acquired their memorizing ability without being fiddled with. It does occur in Nature (indeed the Peek/Grandin skill is possessed by every one of us, just not in such abundance). But Luria was working in the heady, pioneering days of psychology. And it is now believed that, in Illuminati-land, many scientific achievements were made on the QT, and were given a public debut decades later. (See Greg Hallett on that.) Without doubt Brice had an eidetic memory created for her by Kissinger.

THE MIND FILE SYSTEM AND THE PENTAGON

Henry, wearing a disguise, took 8-year old Brice to Disneyland. “Once I got off the ride Henry said something hypnotic to me to lock in the program. Henry put me on ride after ride, and after I got off the rides, dizzy, nauseated, lightheaded, disoriented, frightened, or whatever, he told me to ‘listen intently,’ while he programmed all sorts of things into my mind file system.” (All these quotes are from “Thanks for the Memories”)

“Henry also programmed me in front of a carousel ride. and the files in my mind were to glide smoothly and as easily as the carousel turning. Then it would come to a stop, like the wheel of fortune, at the mind file that Henry would ask for.”

Much of the story takes place well before Kissinger was a member of government. If he wanted to fetch data from federal buildings, for his bosses in the Illuminati (i.e., World Government), he had to steal it. He would often take the child with him at night with his heavy bunch of keys and simply break in. At the Pentagon he had to grease somebody’s palm this could be done with cash or by volunteering Brice’s sexual services (age being no bar in Washington D.C.). He had, in advance burned into her brain a map of the Pentagon’s filing cabinets 12 rows of 12 cabinets.

“Like a rat in a maze, I knew my way exactly to the desired destination and I used a small flashlight that Henry had given me for this purpose. The file area had cameras that filmed the area, like in banks. Those had to somehow be shut down. Henry told me to pull the file, photographically memorize its entire contents within a prearranged mind-file.” Brice had only minutes to do this mental photographing and get back to where the guard was waiting. “There were certain Pentagon officials who were more cooperative than others.”

“Henry was well greased into the inner network of the FBI and CIA. The director was always ‘one of theirs’ [that’d be Mueller and Panetta today], but Henry had a lot of important information to give these agencies in order for things to groove, like well-oiled cogs. Henry had a lot of business with the CIA and the FBI and it was all a big secret. Sometimes it was [coded with] a long string of numbers, or a word like “Ajax” or “coma,” or “barley him “or “make him into a ham on rye,” or “tonight, 3 a.m. Federal Building job.”

After Brice had been with Kissinger for years, she says that he remarked “Like in a good marriage, after a while there is unconscious communication going all the time.” She says: “He meant that it was like knowing each other so well that you know each other’s thoughts, and that’s how he trained me to be attuned to him.” (Excuse me, is this taxpayer-funded?)

“Thanks for the Memories” is not super-affordable for purchase but it is downloadable. I think there’s too much White House sex in it making people afraid to quote it. To conclude this article, I offer the following paragraph, which claims there is a mandatory downtime between the use of the mind-files and sexcapades. (Elsewhere in the book she specifies that it is a two-hour wait.) I shall redact the president’s name — not that it matters, they’re all horribly guilty.

“I was used with President Redact hundreds of times if not more, ever since I was a teenager. He knew that I had to have time in between when he used my mind files for demonstration or information and sex. So having a leisurely lunch provided the time necessary.”

Still, she has not and so is slogging away with this series of ‘Autism Ideas.’ Maxwell recommends, in her book, that criminal charges be brought against any doctor who has committed menticide (the killing of a mind). That should go without saying, shouldn’t it?

Jumping Sundogs Over Thunderclouds
Image Credit: abrigatti, YouTube Explanation: What’s happening above those clouds? In the past few years, videos have appeared on the web detailing an unusual but little known phenomenon: rapid light changes over clouds. Upon inspection and contemplation, a leading hypothesis for its cause has now emerged. In sum, this hypothesis holds that a lightning discharge in a thundercloud can temporarily change the electric field above the cloud where charged ice crystals were reflecting sunlight. The new electric field quickly re-orients the geometric crystals to a new orientation that reflects sunlight differently. In other words, a lightning discharge can cause a sundog to jump. Soon, the old electric field may be restored, causing the ice crystals to return to their original orientation. To help this curious phenomenon become better studied, sky enthusiasts with similar jumping or dancing sundog videos are encouraged to share them.

741 Hz Frequency Awakening Intuition

Jan 27, 2012 | Metaphysics, Nature Body Mind

These original sound frequencies were apparently used in Ancient Gregorian Chants, such as the great hymn to St. John the Baptist, along with others that church authorities say were lost centuries ago. The chants and their special tones were believed to impart tremendous spiritual blessings when sung in harmony during religious masses. These powerful frequencies were rediscovered by Dr. Joseph Puleo as described in the book Healing Codes for the Biological Apocalypse by Dr. Leonard Horowitz. I give honor to both of these gentleman for the part theyve played in helping return these lost frequencies back to humanity.

The Six Solfeggio Frequencies include:
UT 396 Hz Liberating Guilt and Fear
RE 417 Hz Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change
MI 528 Hz Transformation and Miracles (DNA Repair)
FA 639 Hz Connecting/Relationships
SOL 741 Hz Awakening Intuition
LA 852 Hz Returning to Spiritual Order

For example, the third note, frequency 528, relates to the note MI on the scale and derives from the phrase “MI-ra gestorum” in Latin meaning “miracle.” Stunningly, this is the exact frequency used by genetic biochemists to repair broken DNA the genetic blueprint upon which life is based!

57 Health Benefits of Going Vegan

Jan 27, 2012 | Nature Body Mind

Vegans are frequently misunderstood as fringe eaters with an unnatural passion for animal rights. While many vegans do feel passionately about animals, its time for others to see that a vegan diet and lifestyle go way beyond animal rights. Following a healthy, balanced vegan diet ensures a host of health benefits as well as prevention of some of the major diseases striking people in North America. Read these blogs to find out about the health benefits or going vegan or just provide better information to your patients.

Nutrition

All of the following nutritional benefits come from a vegan diet full of foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans, and soy products.

Reduced saturated fats. Dairy products and meats contain a large amount of saturated fats. By reducing the amount of saturated fats from your diet, you’ll improve your health tremendously, especially when it comes to cardiovascular health.
Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates provide energy for your body. When you don’t have enough carbohydrates, your body will burn muscle tissue.
Fiber. A diet high in fiber (as vegan eating usually is) leads to healthier bowel movements. High fiber diets help fight against colon cancer.
Magnesium. Aiding in the absorption of calcium, magnesium is an often overlooked vitamin in importance to a healthy diet. Nuts, seeds, and dark leafy greens are an excellent source of magnesium.
Potassium. Potassium balances water and acidity in your body and stimulates the kidneys to eliminate toxins. Diets high in potassium have shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
Folate. This B vitamin is an important part of a healthy diet. Folate helps with cell repair, generating red and white blood cells, and metabolizing amino acids.
Antioxidants. For protection against cell damage, antioxidants are one of the best ways to help your body. Many researchers also believe that antioxidants help protect your body against forming some types of cancer.
Vitamin C. Besides boosting your immune system, Vitamin C also helps keep your gums healthy and helps your bruises heal faster. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant.
Vitamin E. This powerful vitamin has benefits for your heart, skin, eyes, brain, and may even help prevent Alzheimer’s Disease. A diet high in grains, nuts, and dark leafy greens is full of Vitamin E.
Phytochemicals. Plant-based foods provide phytochemicals, which help to prevent and heal the body from cancer, boost protective enzymes, and work with antioxidants in the body.
Protein. That protein is good for your body is no surprise. It may be a surprise to learn that most Americans eat too much protein and in forms such as red meat that are not healthy ways of getting protein. Beans, nuts, peas, lentils, and soy products are all great ways to get the right amount of protein in a vegan diet.

Disease Prevention

Eating a healthy vegan diet has shown to prevent a number of diseases. Find out from the list below what you could potentially avoid just by switching to a healthy, balanced vegan way of eating.

Cardiovascular disease. Eating nuts and whole grains, while eliminating dairy products and meat, will improve your cardiovascular health. A British study indicates that a vegan diet reduces the risk for heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Vegan diets go far in preventing heart attack and stroke.
Cholesterol. Eliminating any food that comes from an animal and you will eliminate all dietary cholesterol from your diet. Your heart will thank you for that.
Blood pressure. A diet rich in whole grains is beneficial to your health in many ways, including lowering high blood pressure.
Type 2 diabetes. Not only is a vegan diet a weapon against Type 2 diabetes, it is also “easier to follow than the standard diet recommended by the American Diabetic Association.” Read more about it here.
Prostate cancer. A major study showed that men in the early stages of prostate cancer who switched to a vegan diet either stopped the progress of the cancer or may have even reversed the illness.
Colon cancer. Eating a diet consisting of whole grains, along with fresh fruits and vegetables, can greatly reduce your chances of colon cancer.
Breast cancer. Countries where women eat very little meat and animal products have a much lower rate of breast cancer than do the women in countries that consume more animal products.
Macular degeneration. Diets with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially leafy greens, carrots, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes, can help prevent the onset of age-related macular degeneration.
Cataracts. Much the same way macular degeneration is headed off by a vegan diet, cataracts are also thought to be prevented through the intake of the same fruits and vegetables. Produce high in antioxidants are also believed to help prevent cataracts.
Arthritis. Eliminating dairy consumption has long been connected with alleviating arthritis symptoms, but a new study indicates that a combination of gluten-free and vegan diet is very promising for improving the health of those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteoporosis. Bone health depends on a balance of neither too much or too little protein, adequate calcium intake, high potassium, and low sodium. With a healthy vegan diet, all four of these points set a perfect scenario for preventing osteoporosis.

Physical Benefits

In addition to good nutrition and disease prevention, eating vegan also provides many physical benefits. Find out how a vegan diet makes your body stronger, more attractive, and more energetic.

Body Mass Index. Several population studies show that a diet without meat leads to lower BMIs–usually an indicator of a healthy weight and lack of fat on the body.
Weight loss. A healthy weight loss is a typical result of a smart vegan diet. Eating vegan eliminates most of the unhealthy foods that tend to cause weight issues. Read more about weight loss and a vegan diet here.
Energy. When following a healthy vegan diet, you will find your energy is much higher. This blog post in Happy Healthy Long Life describes how NFL tight-end Tony Gonzalez started eating vegan and gained energy–while playing football.
Healthy skin. The nuts and vitamins A and E from vegetables play a big role in healthy skin, so vegans will usually have good skin health. Many people who switch to a vegan diet will notice a remarkable reduction in blemishes as well.
Longer life. Several studies indicate that those following a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle live an average of three to six years longer than those who do not.
Body odor. Eliminating dairy and red meat from the diet significantly reduces body odor. Going vegan means smelling better.
Bad breath. Vegans frequently experience a reduction in bad breath. Imagine waking up in the morning and not having morning breath.
Hair. Many who follow vegan diets report that their hair becomes stronger, has more body, and looks healthier.
Nails. Healthy vegan diets are also responsible for much stronger, healthier nails. Nail health is said to be an indicator of overall health.
PMS. When switching to a vegan diet, many women tell how PMS symptoms become much less intense or disappear altogether. The elimination of dairy is thought to help with those suffering with PMS.
Migraines. Migraine suffers who go on vegan diets frequently discover relief from their migraines. Read more about the food-migraine connection in this article.
Allergies. Reduction in dairy, meat, and eggs is often tied to alleviation of allergy symptoms. Many vegans report much fewer runny noses and congestion problems.

Too Much in the American Diet

The typical American diet not only consists of too much food, it also relies on too much of unnecessary food products or toxins. The following list explains how a vegan diet can eliminate these problems.

Animal proteins. The average American eats twice as much protein as necessary for a healthy diet and much of that is from red meat. Getting protein from beans and grains is much healthier and reduces the risk for osteoporosis (see above).
Cow’s milk dairy. The human body is not designed to digest cow milk and cow milk dairy products, yet the idea of milk being healthy is pushed through advertising. As many as 75% of people in the world may be lactose intolerant and many people suffer from undiagnosed milk allergies or sensitivities. By eliminating cow’s milk from your diet, you are improving your overall health.
Eggs. Many nutritionists believe that the number of eggs in the American diet is too high. While sometimes disputed, it has been shown that eggs can raise cholesterol levels.
Mercury. Most of the fish and shellfish consumed has mercury in it. While some fish have less than others, it is almost impossible not to be putting mercury in your body when you eat fish.
Sugar. Most people have heard that Americans consume way too much sugar. Relying on other sweeteners that are not synthetic, processed, or derived from animal products is a healthier way to eat. Many vegans do not eat processed sugar due to the fact that most of the cane sugar is refined through activated charcoal, most of which comes from animal bones.

Other Benefits

In addition to the health benefits above, following a vegan lifestyle and diet also provides these benefits as well. From helping the environment to avoiding serious bacterial infections, learn other benefits to eating the vegan way below.

Animals. Many people begin a vegan diet out of concern for animals. Whether opposed to the conditions of animals intended for food or eating animals in general, going vegan will help your conscience rest easily.
Environment. Growing plants takes much fewer resources than growing animals. By eating vegan, you can help reduce the toll on the environment.
E. coli. E. coli comes from eating contaminated red meat and is the leading cause of bloody diarrhea. Young children, those with compromised immune systems, and elderly people can become extremely ill or die from E. coli. Eating vegan means completely avoiding the risk of E. coli infection.
Salmonella. Another gastrointestinal illness from animal products, salmonella food poisoning is closely related to E. coli. The most frequent way people contract salmonella food poisoning is through contact with raw eggs or raw chicken meat from chickens infected with salmonella. Again, going vegan means eliminating this risk altogether.
Mad cow disease. It’s safe to say that most people would want to avoid contracting a fatal, non-treatable disease. One way to ensure you don’t get Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is by not eating animals infected with mad cow disease. While the incidence of mad cow disease is not reportedly so high in North America, it does exist.
Global food supply. Feeding grain to animals meant as food sources reduces the amount of food that is available to underdeveloped nations. Many people will go hungry while that same food they could be eating is given to animals raised for slaughter. Eating vegan ensures that you have removed yourself from the participation of this imbalance.
Hormone consumption. Eating animals that have been given hormones to speed growth (a common practice in the meat industry) means those hormones go into your body. Not only can this disrupt the natural balance of your hormones, but some of the hormones given to animals have shown to cause tumor growth in humans.
Antibiotics. Antibiotics are frequently given to feed animals, which can lead to bacterial resistance. Many of the antibiotics used to treat human infections are also used in feed animals.

Healthy Eating

A vegan diet can be a much healthier way to eat. Find out how to combine the vegan diet with other ways of eating for an even more healthy way to go or discover ways to keep your vegan diet healthy but more convenient with the resources below.

Raw. A raw diet lends itself to veganism by the very nature of its design. Find out how to combine live and vegan diets with Raw Inspirations.
Organic. Eating organic and vegan is super easy to do. Use some of the recipes from this blog for help with meal ideas. The posts have slowed, but you can always search the archives for some great ideas on how to live and eat organic and vegan.
Fat-free. Vegan eating is typically pretty low in fats anyway, but the FatFree Vegan Kitchen shows you how to make some delicious vegan food that is always fat free.
Gluten-free. Due to allergies, Celiac’s Disease, or whatever your reason you avoid gluten, find out how to combine the best of gluten-free with vegan cooking in the Gluten-Free Vegan blog.
Eating out. Eating out isn’t usually associated with eating healthy, but a vegan diet ensures there will be a lot less of the bad things in the food you choose. Find eating out options around the world for vegans here.
Lunch. Maintaining a vegan diet means you are likely to take your lunch more often than most people. Vegan Lunch Box offers recipes, tools, and ideas for carrying great vegan lunches every day.

10 Amazing Life Lessons You Can Learn From Albert Einstein

Jan 27, 2012 | Nature Body Mind

Albert Einstein has long been considered a genius by the masses. He was a theoretical physicist, philosopher, author, and is perhaps the most influential scientists to ever live.

Einstein has made great contributions to the scientific world, including the theory of relativity, the founding of relativistic cosmology, the prediction of the deflection of light by gravity, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, the zero-point energy concept, and the quantum theory of a monatomic gas which predicted Bose–Einstein condensation, to name a few of his scientific contributions.

Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.”

He’s published more than 300 scientific works and over 150 non-scientific works. Einstein is considered the father of modern physics and is probably the most successful scientist there ever was.

10 Amazing Lessons from Albert Einstein:

Follow Your Curiosity

“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”

What piques your curiosity? I am curious as to what causes one person to succeed while another person fails; this is why I’ve spent years studying success. What are you most curious about? The pursuit of your curiosity is the secret to your success.

Perseverance is Priceless

“It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”

Through perseverance the turtle reached the ark. Are you willing to persevere until you get to your intended destination? They say the entire value of the postage stamp consist in its ability to stick to something until it gets there. Be like the postage stamp; finish the race that you’ve started!

Focus on the Present

“Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”

My father always says you cannot ride two horses at the same time. I like to say, you can do anything, but not everything. Learn to be present where you are; give your all to whatever you’re currently doing.

Focused energy is power, and it’s the difference between success and failure.

The Imagination is Powerful

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

Are you using your imagination daily? Einstein said the imagination is more important than knowledge! Your imagination pre-plays your future. Einstein went on to say, “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination.” Are you exercising your “imagination muscles” daily, don’t let something as powerful as your imagination lie dormant.

Make Mistakes

“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”

Never be afraid of making a mistake. A mistake is not a failure. Mistakes can make you better, smarter and faster, if you utilize them properly. Discover the power of making mistakes. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, if you want to succeed, triple the amount of mistakes that you make.

Live in the Moment

“I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.”

The only way to properly address your future is to be as present as possible “in the present.”

You cannot “presently” change yesterday or tomorrow, so it’s of supreme importance that you dedicate all of your efforts to “right now.” It’s the only time that matters, it’s the only time there is.

Create Value

“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”

Don’t waste your time trying to be successful, spend your time creating value. If you’re valuable, then you will attract success.

Discover the talents and gifts that you possess, learn how to offer those talents and gifts in a way that most benefits others.

Labor to be valuable and success will chase you down.

Don’t Expect Different Results

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

You can’t keep doing the same thing everyday and expect different results. In other words, you can’t keep doing the same workout routine and expect to look differently. In order for your life to change, you must change, to the degree that you change your actions and your thinking is to the degree that your life will change.

Knowledge Comes From Experience

“Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.”

Knowledge comes from experience. You can discuss a task, but discussion will only give you a philosophical understanding of it; you must experience the task first hand to “know it.” What’s the lesson? Get experience! Don’t spend your time hiding behind speculative information, go out there and do it, and you will have gained priceless knowledge.

Learn the Rules and Then Play Better

“You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”

To put it all in simple terms, there are two things that you must do. The first thing you must do is to learn the rules of the game that you’re playing. It doesn’t sound exciting, but it’s vital. Secondly, you must commit to play the game better than anyone else. If you can do these two things, success will be yours!

7 surprising things you’re not supposed to know about sunscreen and sunlight exposure

Jan 27, 2012 | Nature Body Mind

(NaturalNews) Ask somebody about sunscreen and you’re likely to receive an earful of disinformation from a person who has been repeatedly misinformed by health authorities and the mainstream media. Almost nothing you hear about sunscreen from traditional media channels is accurate. So here’s a quick guide to the 7 most important things you need to know about sunscreen, sunlight and vitamin D:

#1) The FDA refuses to allow natural sunscreen ingredients to be used in sunblock / sunscreen products

It’s true: If you create a truly natural sunscreen product using exotic botanicals with powerful sunscreen properties, you will never be able to market it as a “sunscreen” product. That’s because the FDA decides what can be used as sunscreen and what can’t, regardless of what really works in the real world. And there are really only two natural ingredients the FDA has allowed to be sold as sunscreen: Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

Any other non-chemical sunscreen ingredients, if sold as “sunscreen,” would be considered mislabeled by the FDA and result in your products being confiscated… even if they offer fantastic sunscreen protection!

Not surprisingly, this whole monopoly over sunscreen chemicals is designed to protect the profits of the chemical companies while marginalizing the natural product companies which could easily formulate far better solutions. I have personally spoken to the founders of several health product companies who have figured out amazing sunscreen formulations using nothing but natural botanicals, but the FDA won’t let them market their products as sunscreen products!

It’s just another example of the FDA standing in the way of health innovation.

#2) Nearly all conventional sunscreen products contain cancer-causing chemicals

Read the ingredients list of any sunscreen product sold at Wal-Mart, or Walgreens, or any other mainstream store. I dare ya!

You will not be able to pronounce most of the chemicals found in the ingredients list. That’s because most sunscreen products are formulated with cancer-causing fragrance chemicals, parabens, harsh alcohols, toxic chemical solvents and petroleum oils. A typical sunscreen product is actually a chemical assault on your body. That’s why research shows that using sunscreen actually causes more cancer than it prevents (http://www.naturalnews.com/023317_skin_chemicals_products.html).

#3) In a nation where over 70% of the population is vitamin D deficiency, sunscreen actually blocks vitamin D production

Vitamin D deficiency is perhaps the most widespread vitamin deficiency in North America. According to the research, 70 percent of whites are deficient in vitamin D, and up to 97 percent of blacks are deficient (http://www.naturalnews.com/030598_vitamin_D_Institute_of_Medicine.html).

Chronic vitamin D deficiency promotes cancer (http://www.naturalnews.com/031560_vitamin_D_cancer.html), winter flu and infections, depression, osteoporosis and hormonal imbalances. Depending on whom you believe, vitamin D alone can prevent anywhere from 50% to nearly 80% of all cancers (http://www.naturalnews.com/021892.html).

By blocking vitamin D production in the skin, sunscreen products actually contribute to cancer-promoting nutritional deficiencies.

This doesn’t mean you should never wear a sunscreen product, of course. If your skin is really pale and you’re planning a day on the beach in Hawaii, you will obviously benefit from some level of sun protection using a truly natural sunscreen product. But an informed health-conscious person would try to allow their skin to achieve a natural, healthy tan (yes, a tan truly is healthy if it’s combined with good nutrition, see below) through sensible exposure levels that activate vitamin D production in the skin.

#4) You can boost your internal sun resistance by changing what you eat

Here’s the real secret about sun exposure that no one in conventional medicine is talking about (because, as usual, they are woefully ignorant about nutrition): You can boost your internal sunscreen by eating antioxidant-rich foods and superfoods.

The supplement astaxanthin, for example, is very well known for boosting your skin’s natural resistance to sunburn. Its fat-soluble carotenoids are actually transported to skin cells where they protect those cells from UV exposure.

The more natural antioxidants you have in your diet, the more sunlight your skin will be able to handle without burning. Nearly everyone mistakenly believes that a person’s sunlight burn response is purely a genetic factor. They’re wrong. You can radically improve your resistance to UV exposure through radical dietary changes.

I’m a great example of this, actually, as I used to burn in just 20 – 30 minutes of sunlight when I was on a junk food diet years ago. But now, as someone who eats superfoods and high-end nutritional supplements every day, I can spend hours in the sun and will only turn slightly red (which fades a few hours later and does not result in a burn or skin peeling).

Except for one time on an all-day visit to a water park, I have not worn sunscreen in over 8 years. I spend a large amount of time in the sun, and I have absolutely no concerns whatsoever about skin cancer. My skin, most people tell me, looks significantly younger than my biological age. That’s not from sunscreen; it’s from nutrition. Sun exposure does not make your skin “age” if you follow a high-nutritional density diet.

#5) UV exposure alone does not cause skin cancer

It is a complete medical myth that “UV exposure causes skin cancer.” This false idea is a total fabrication by the ignorant medical community (dermatologists) and the profit-driven sunscreen companies.

The truth is actually more complicated: Skin cancer can only be caused when UV exposure is combined with chronic nutritional deficiencies that create skin vulnerabilities.

To create skin cancer, in other words, you have to eat a junk food diet, avoid protective antioxidants, and then also experience excessive UV exposure. All three of those elements are required. Conventional medicine completely ignores the dietary influences and focuses entirely on just one factor: Sunscreen vs. no sunscreen. This is a one-dimensional approach to the issue that’s grossly oversimplified to the point of being misleading.

The medical industry, it seems, does not want people to figure out they can literally eat their way to healthier skin. It’s amazing, actually: Your skin is made entirely out of the food you eat, so how could your diet not affect your skin health? Yet no one in conventional medicine — not the dermatologists, not the doctors and not the health regulators — has the intellectual honesty to admit that what you eat largely determines how your skin reacts to UV exposure.

#6) Not all “natural” sunscreen products are really natural

Be careful when shopping for so-called “natural” sunscreen products. While there are some good ones out there, many are just examples of greenwashing, where they use terms like “natural” or “organic” but still contain loads of synthetic chemicals anyway.

A good guide for checking on sunscreen products is the Environmental Working Group guide (EWG) at:
http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/

Some of the products that are truly natural include Loving Naturals sunscreen and Badger All Natural Sunscreen. Read the ingredients labels to see for yourself. Don’t use any sunscreen product containing ingredients that sound like chemicals:

• Methyl…
• Propyl…
• Butyl…
• Ethyl…
• Trieth…
• Dieth…
etc.

Always buy unscented sunscreen unless for some reason you just enjoy coating your skin with artificial perfume chemicals. A typical sunscreen product is made with over a dozen cancer-causing fragrance chemicals, and they’re absorbed right through your skin. Most sunscreens, when applied as directed, are really just toxic chemical baths that heavily burden your liver and can give you cancer.

#7) Many “chemical free” sunscreens are loaded with chemicals

Search Amazon.com for “chemical free natural sunscreen” and you’ll see a listing for:

Jason Natural Cosmetics – Earth’s Best Sun Block Chemical Free, 4 oz cream

Click on the product and you’ll find a listing of its ingredients which includes: C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sorbitan Isostearate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Ethyl Macadamiate, Calcium Starch Octenylsuccinate, Stearalkonium Hectorite

So how are those not chemicals? Ethylhexyl Palmitate is NOT a chemical? Who are these people kidding? The Amazon.com description (title) of this product is false and misleading. In all fairness, however, this product title looks like it was added into the Amazon.com system by the vendor and not the Jason company itself. But it’s an example of how the information you see from online vendors can often be misleading.

Always read the ingredients of any sunscreen product before using it. Don’t poison yourself with sunscreen!

Beware the disinfo minefield surrounding sunscreen products

Perhaps more with sunscreen than any other personal care product, the “official” information distributed through the mainstream media is hopelessly misleading (if not downright false). Remarkably, no one in the media or the government is even willing to admit that fragrance chemicals are bad for your health. Similarly, no one is willing to admit that the chemicals you put on your skin get ABSORBED by your skin.

Without those two truths being acknowledged right up front, the rest of whatever they say about sunscreen is worthless babble. Any honest talk about sunscreen must acknowledge the simple truth that the chemicals you put on your skin get absorbed into your skin, and that most sunscreen products are made out of a chemical cocktail of cancer-causing substances.

This is the truth about sunscreen that both the sunscreen industry and the cancer industry doesn’t want you to hear. It’s the dirty little secret of sunscreen: The more you use, the more you CAUSE cancer in your body! (And the more money the cancer centers make “treating” your cancer with yet more deadly chemicals known as chemotherapy.)

So buyer beware. Sunscreen products are a minefield of lies, fraud and disinformation designed to keep you ignorant of the importance of sun exposure as well as the health risks associated with using cancer-causing chemicals on your skin.

Stick with truly natural sunscreen products (when needed) and try to build up a healthy tan while consuming large quantities of superfoods and antioxidants in your diet. Consider taking astaxanthin or other fat-soluble nutrients on a regular basis. Engage in daily juicing of fresh fruits and vegetables which are loaded with living nutrients. Time your sun exposure to build up a healthy tan so that you don’t need sunscreen at all. Contrary to all the misinformation we’ve all been fed, a healthy tan is actually a good sign that you’re achieving adequate vitamin D synthesis in your own skin.

7 Foods Experts Won’t Eat

Jan 27, 2012 | Nature Body Mind

1. GMO FOODS (Any of them)

The Expert: Jeffrey Smith, author of Seeds of Deception and founder of Institute for Responsible Technology

The Situation: GMO foods encourage the massive spraying of herbicides on our topsoils, polluting the ground, waterways, animals and humans. Scientific studies have shown the RoundUp Ready genes in GMO foods to transfer to our intestinal flora and the pesticide producing genes, called Bt-toxins, to be present in both unborn fetuses and their mothers. In short, GMO foods pollute our environment and out bodies. No long term health studies of GMO foods have been performed on humans. In addition to polluting our bodies with mutant DNA, eating RoundUp Ready GMO foods insures a hefty dose of herbicide given that GMO crops are even more heavily sprayed than conventional non-organic crops. The environmental, political, economic, and social damage by GMO foods is staggering. GMO foods include corn, soybeans, sugarbeets, potatoes, alfalfa, canola, potato, papaya, rice, honey, squash, rapeseed, tomatoes, sweet corn, tobacco, peas, and more in the pipeline.

The Solution: Check that all the food you purchase is non-GMO. Demand a halt to GMO foods any chance you get. Support mandatory labeling of GMO foods. Buy ORGANIC. Plant a garden

2. Canned Tomatoes

The Expert: Fredrick vom Saal, PhD, an endocrinologist at the University of Missouri who studies bisphenol-A.

The Situation: The resin linings of tin cans contain bisphenol-A, a synthetic estrogen that has been linked to ailments ranging from reproductive problems to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Unfortunately, acidity (a prominent characteristic of tomatoes) causes BPA to leach into your food. Studies show that the BPA in most people’s body exceeds the amount that suppresses sperm production or causes chromosomal damage to the eggs of animals. “You can get 50 mcg of BPA per liter out of a tomato can, and that’s a level that is going to impact people, particularly the young,” says vom Saal. “I won’t go near canned tomatoes.”

The Solution: Choose tomatoes in glass bottles (which do not need resin linings), such as the brands Bionaturae and Coluccio. You can also get several types in Tetra Pak boxes, like Trader Joe’s and Pomi.

3. Corn-Fed Beef

The Expert: Joel Salatin, co-owner of Polyface Farms and author of half a dozen books on sustainable farming.

The Situation: Cattle evolved to eat grass, not grains. But farmers today feed their animals corn and soybeans, which fatten up the animals faster for slaughter. More money for cattle farmers (and lower prices at the grocery store) means a lot less nutrition for us. A recent comprehensive study conducted by the USDA and researchers from Clemson University found that compared with corn-fed beef, grass-fed beef is higher in beta-carotene, vitamin E, omega-3s, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), calcium, magnesium, and potassium; lower in inflammatory omega-6s; and lower in saturated fats that have been linked to heart disease. “We need to respect the fact that cows are herbivores, and that does not mean feeding them corn and chicken manure,” says Salatin.

The Solution: Buy grass-fed beef, which can be found at specialty grocers, farmers’ markets, and nationally at Whole Foods. It’s usually labeled because it demands a premium, but if you don’t see it, ask your butcher.

4. Microwave Popcorn

The Expert: Olga Naidenko, PhD, a senior scientist for the Environmental Working Group.

The Situation: Chemicals, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), in the lining of the bag, are part of a class of compounds that may be linked to infertility in humans, according to a recent study from UCLA. In animal testing, the chemicals cause liver, testicular, and pancreatic cancer. Studies show that microwaving causes the chemicals to vaporize—and migrate into your popcorn. “They stay in your body for years and accumulate there,” says Naidenko, which is why researchers worry that levels in humans could approach the amounts causing cancers in laboratory animals. DuPont and other manufacturers have promised to phase out PFOA by 2015 under a voluntary EPA plan, but millions of bags of popcorn will be sold between now and then.

The Solution: Pop natural kernels the old-fashioned way: in a skillet. For flavorings, you can add real butter or dried seasonings, such as dillweed, vegetable flakes, or soup mix.

5. Farmed Salmon

The Expert: David Carpenter, MD, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University at Albany and publisher of a major study in the journal Science on contamination in fish.

The Situation: Nature didn’t intend for salmon to be crammed into pens and fed soy, poultry litter, and hydrolyzed chicken feathers. As a result, farmed salmon is lower in vitamin D and higher in contaminants, including carcinogens, PCBs, brominated flame retardants, and pesticides such as dioxin and DDT. According to Carpenter, the most contaminated fish come from Northern Europe, which can be found on American menus. “You can only safely eat one of these salmon dinners every 5 months without increasing your risk of cancer,” says Carpenter, whose 2004 fish contamination study got broad media attention. “It’s that bad.” Preliminary science has also linked DDT to diabetes and obesity, but some nutritionists believe the benefits of omega-3s outweigh the risks. There is also concern about the high level of antibiotics and pesticides used to treat these fish. When you eat farmed salmon, you get dosed with the same drugs and chemicals.

The Solution: Switch to wild-caught Alaska salmon. If the package says fresh Atlantic, it’s farmed. There are no commercial fisheries left for wild Atlantic salmon.

6. Milk Produced with Artificial Hormones

The Expert: Rick North, project director of the Campaign for Safe Food at the Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility and former CEO of the Oregon division of the American Cancer Society.

The Situation: Milk producers treat their dairy cattle with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH or rBST, as it is also known) to boost milk production. But rBGH also increases udder infections and even pus in the milk. It also leads to higher levels of a hormone called insulin-like growth factor in milk. In people, high levels of IGF-1 may contribute to breast, prostate, and colon cancers. “When the government approved rBGH, it was thought that IGF-1 from milk would be broken down in the human digestive tract,” says North. As it turns out, the casein in milk protects most of it, according to several independent studies. “There’s not 100% proof that this is increasing cancer in humans,” admits North. “However, it’s banned in most industrialized countries.”

The Solution: Check labels for rBGH-free, rBST-free, produced without artificial hormones, or organic milk. These phrases indicate rBGH-free products.

7. Conventional Apples

The Expert: Mark Kastel, former executive for agribusiness and co-director of the Cornucopia Institute, a farm-policy research group that supports organic foods

The Situation: If fall fruits held a “most doused in pesticides contest,” apples would win. Why? They are individually grafted (descended from a single tree) so that each variety maintains its distinctive flavor. As such, apples don’t develop resistance to pests and are sprayed frequently. The industry maintains that these residues are not harmful. But Kastel counters that it’s just common sense to minimize exposure by avoiding the most doused produce, like apples. “Farm workers have higher rates of many cancers,” he says. And increasing numbers of studies are starting to link a higher body burden of pesticides (from all sources) with Parkinson’s disease.

The Solution: Buy organic apples. If you can’t afford organic, be sure to wash and peel them first.

Fluoride: Calcifier of the Soul

Jan 27, 2012 | Nature Body Mind

Sayer Ji
Infowars.com
November 4, 2011

The Discovery

Research published in 2001 showed that fluoride (F) deposits in the pineal gland with age and is associated with enhanced gland calcification. Eleven aged cadavares were dissected and their pineal glands assayed:

“There was a positive correlation between pineal F and pineal Ca (r = 0.73, p<0.02) but no correlation between pineal F and bone F. By old age, the pineal gland has readily accumulated F and its F/Ca ratio is higher than bone.” Source

What Is The Pineal Gland?

The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain, and is sometimes called the “third eye” as it is a light sensitive, centrally-located organ with cellular features resembling the human retina.

One article describes the role of the pineal gland in more technical terms here:

“The role of the nonvisual photoreception is to synchronise periodic functions of living organisms to the environmental light periods in order to help survival of various species in different biotopes” Source

The pineal gland is best known for its role in producing the hormone melatonin from serotonin (triggered by the absence of light) and affects wake/sleep patterns and seasonal/circadian rhythms. Like a tiny pea-sized pine cone it is located near the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres and is a unique brain structure insofar as it is not protected by the blood-brain-barrier. This may also explain why it is uniquely sensitive to calcification via fluoride exposure.

More Than An Endocrine Gland

Technically the mammalian pineal gland is neural tissue, and the cells within the pineal gland – the pinealocytes – have characteristics that resemble the photorecetpor cells in the retina.

This has given rise to the opinion that it should be reclassified:

“In our opinion, the main trend of today’s literature on pineal functions–only considering the organ as a common endocrine gland–deviates from this structural and histochemical basis.” Source

The pineal gland has been a subject of much interest since ancient times. Galen described it in the 3rd century, and the philosopher René Decartes (1596-1650) identified the pineal gland as the “seat of the soul.” His explanation for this conclusion is quite interesting:

“My view is that this gland is the principal seat of the soul, and the place in which all our thoughts are formed. The reason I believe this is that I cannot find any part of the brain, except this, which is not double. Since we see only one thing with two eyes, and hear only one voice with two ears, and in short have never more than one thought at a time, it must necessarily be the case that the impressions which enter by the two eyes or by the two ears, and so on, unite with each other in some part of the body before being considered by the soul. Now it is impossible to find any such place in the whole head except this gland; moreover it is situated in the most suitable possible place for this purpose, in the middle of all the concavities; and it is supported and surrounded by the little branches of the carotid arteries which bring the spirits into the brain.” Source: Wikipedia

Decartes was one of the few philosophers who was experienced in vivisection and anatomy, and who righly pointed out the unique nature of the pineal gland’s location in the brain and blood supply.

The “third eye” is also a well known symbol in Eastern literature, and may be concretely grounded in the anatomical structure and function of the pineal gland.

Calcium Stones In the Brain

Pineal gland calcifications upon dissection resemble gravel, and are composed of calcite (calcium carbonate) and/or calcium hydroxylapatite, the latter of which is not unlike dentin or bone. (Source)

Pineal gland calcification is associated with a number of diseases in the medical literature:

Alzheimer Disease
Bipolar Disease
Circadian Dysregulation
Hormone Imbalances: Low Melatonin
Insomnia
Low Back Pain
Parkinson Disease
Schizophrenia
Sleep Disorders
Stroke

Source: GreenMedInfo.com

Fluoride As A “Therapeutic” Neurotoxin?

Now that it has been established that fluoride (F) exposure contributes to the calcification of the pineal gland, the question remains: what are the subjective affects of these tissue changes to those who undergo them?

Prozac may represent an archetypal example of how fluoride affects the personality/soul. This drug (chemical name fluoxetine) is approximately 30% fluoride by weight and marketed as an “antidepressant,” even while a major side effect of its use and/or withdrawal is suicidal depression. Modern psychiatry often treats depressive disorders – the “dark night of the soul” – as an organic disorder of the brain, targeting serotonin reuptake by any chemical means necessary. Fluoride and fluoxetine, in fact, may accomplish their intended “therapeutic effects” by poisoning the pineal gland. Animal studies confirm that when mice have their pineal glands removed they no longer respond to fluoxetine. Source

Perhaps the primary reason why Prozac causes a favorable reaction in those who are treated (poisoned) with it, is that it disassociates that person from the psychospiritual conflicts that they must normally suppress in order to maintain the appearance of sanity and functionality in society, i.e. it is control and not health that is the goal of such “treatment.”

If Prozac and other sources of fluoride in our environment deposits within the pineal gland, accelerating the transformation of functional pineal tissue into calcification, is it possible that it works by dehumanizing and flattening the affect of those who are under its influence?

How Do We Prevent Pineal Gland Calcification?

Eliminating exposure to fluoride is the #1 priority. We can start by being careful about surreptitious forms of fluoride in Teflon, foods and beverages produced with muncipal water, tap water, infant formula, fluoride containing drugs like Prozac, toothpaste, etc. We have collected a number of studies from the US National Library of Medicine on natural substances which mitigate fluoride toxicity here. We also have a section on our database dedicated to finding substances which prevent or reverse other forms of pathological calcification which may have relevance for pineal gland calcification here. Lastly, there is research on the potential value of magnesium and phytate in reducing pineal gland calcification which can be viewed here

CDC admits not a single person has died from consuming raw milk products in 11 years

Jan 27, 2012 | Government Agenda, Nature Body Mind

Ethan A. Huff
Natural News
November 17, 2011

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) refuses to acknowledge that, based on all available statistics, raw milk produced on clean, small-scale farms is actually far safer than pasteurized milk from factory farms. But the agency did admit earlier this year, after being pressed and warned of a potential Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request if it failed to comply, that not a single person has died from raw milk consumption in over a decade.

This may come as a shock to some who, because of all the propaganda about the alleged dangers of raw milk, are convinced otherwise, but it is true — one of the two deaths often cited by the CDC as evidence that raw milk is dangerous was actually linked to the consumption of raw queso fresco cheese, which is currently outlawed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). And the other is likely linked to an adulterated raw milk product as well, rather than to raw milk.

After repeatedly petitioning the CDC for clarification about its questionable raw milk statistics and getting nowhere, Mark McAfee, owner of Organic Pastures Dairy Company (OPDC) in California, finally threatened to file a FOIA request to get to the truth. Shortly thereafter, he received a response from an unidentified official at the CDC’s information office explaining that the one “raw milk” death that occurred between 1998 and 2008 was actually linked to illegal raw queso fresco cheese.

The agency has not yet provided details about the other death, but it is likely that it, too, was linked to some adulterated raw milk product rather than to raw milk itself. If and when the agency finally fesses up to the truth about that case, it will also be inadvertently admitting that it has lied to the public for many years about the nature of raw milk.

The CDC’s continual avoidance of talking about the much worse dangers associated with pasteurized milk further illustrates its raw milk bias. In 2006 alone, there were at least 1,300 people who got sick from pasteurized milk just in California — and yet the CDC only talks about the roughly 39 reported illnesses every year in the Golden State that are alleged, but not necessarily proven to be, linked to raw milk.

Zero-point energy

Jan 27, 2012 | Metaphysics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zero-point energy is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may have; it is the energy of its ground state. All quantum mechanical systems undergo fluctuations even in their ground state and have an associated zero-point energy, a consequence of their wave-like nature. The uncertainty principle requires every physical system to have a zero-point energy greater than the minimum of its classical potential well, even at absolute zero. For example, liquid helium does not freeze under atmospheric pressure at any temperature because of its zero-point energy.

The concept of zero-point energy was developed in Germany by Albert Einstein and Otto Stern in 1913, using a formula developed by Max Planck in 1900.^[1]^[2] The term zero-point energy originates from the German Nullpunktsenergie.^[1]^[2] The German name is also spelled Nullpunktenergie (without the “s”).

Vacuum energy is the zero-point energy of all the fields in space, which in the Standard Model includes the electromagnetic field, other gauge fields, fermionic fields, and the Higgs field. It is the energy of the vacuum, which in quantum field theory is defined not as empty space but as the ground state of the fields. In cosmology, the vacuum energy is one possible explanation for the cosmological constant.^[3] A related term is zero-point field, which is the lowest energy state of a particular field.^[4]

[hide]

[edit] History

In 1900, Max Planck derived the formula for the energy of a single energy radiator, e.g. a vibrating atomic unit:^[5]

$\epsilon = \frac{h\nu}{ e^{\frac{h\nu}{kT}}-1}$

where h is Planck’s constant, ν is the frequency, k is Boltzmann’s constant, and T is the absolute temperature.

Then in 1913, using this formula as a basis, Albert Einstein and Otto Stern published a paper of great significance in which they suggested for the first time the existence of a residual energy that all oscillators have at absolute zero. They called this residual energy Nullpunktsenergie (German), later translated as zero-point energy. They carried out an analysis of the specific heat of hydrogen gas at low temperature, and concluded that the data are best represented if the vibrational energy is^[1]^[2]

$\epsilon = \frac{h\nu}{ e^{\frac{h\nu}{kT}}-1} + \frac{h\nu}{2}$

According to this expression, an atomic system at absolute zero retains an energy of ½hν.

In 1916 Walther Nernst postulated that the vacuum of space is filled with zero-point electromagnetic radiation.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Relation to the uncertainty principle

Zero-point energy is fundamentally related to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Roughly speaking, the uncertainty principle states that complementary variables (such as a particle’s position and momentum, or a field’s value and derivative at a point in space) cannot simultaneously be defined precisely by any given quantum state. In particular, there cannot be a state in which the system sits motionless at the bottom of its potential well, for then its position and momentum would both be completely determined to arbitrarily great precision. Therefore, the lowest-energy state (the ground state) of the system must have a distribution in position and momentum that satisfies the uncertainty principle, which implies its energy must be greater than the minimum of the potential well.

Near the bottom of a potential well, the Hamiltonian of a system (the quantum-mechanical operator giving its energy) can be approximated as

$\hat{H} = E_0 + \frac{1}{2} k \left(\hat{x} - x_0\right)^2 + \frac{1}{2m} \hat{p}^2$

where E₀ is the minimum of the classical potential well. The uncertainty principle tells us that

$\sqrt{\left\langle \left(\hat{x} - x_0\right)^2 \right\rangle} \sqrt{\left\langle \hat{p}^2 \right\rangle} \geq \frac{\hbar}{2},$

making the expectation values of the kinetic and potential terms above satisfy

$\left\langle \frac{1}{2} k \left(\hat{x} - x_0\right)^2 \right\rangle \left\langle \frac{1}{2m} \hat{p}^2 \right\rangle \geq \left(\frac{\hbar}{4}\right)^2 \frac{k}{m}.$

The expectation value of the energy must therefore be at least

$\left\langle \hat{H} \right\rangle \geq E_0 + \frac{\hbar}{2} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} = E_0 + \frac{\hbar \omega}{2}$

where $\omega = \sqrt{k/m}$ is the angular frequency at which the system oscillates.

A more thorough treatment, showing that the energy of the ground state actually is $E_0 + \hbar \omega / 2,$ requires solving for the ground state of the system. See quantum harmonic oscillator for details.

[edit] Varieties

The concept of zero-point energy occurs in a number of situations.

In ordinary quantum mechanics, the zero-point energy is the energy associated with the ground state of the system. The professional physics literature tends to measure frequency, as denoted by ν above, using angular frequency, denoted with ω and defined by ω = 2πν. This leads to a convention of writing Planck’s constant h with a bar through its top to denote the quantity h/2π. In those terms, the most famous such example of zero-point energy is $E={\hbar\omega / 2}$ associated with the ground state of the quantum harmonic oscillator. In quantum mechanical terms, the zero-point energy is the expectation value of the Hamiltonian of the system in the ground state.

In quantum field theory, the fabric of space is visualized as consisting of fields, with the field at every point in space and time being a quantum harmonic oscillator, with neighboring oscillators interacting. In this case, one has a contribution of $E={\hbar\omega / 2}$ from every point in space, resulting in a calculation of infinite zero-point energy in any finite volume; this is one reason renormalization is needed to make sense of quantum field theories. The zero-point energy is again the expectation value of the Hamiltonian; here, however, the phrase vacuum expectation value is more commonly used, and the energy is called the vacuum energy.

In quantum perturbation theory, it is sometimes said that the contribution of one-loop and multi-loop Feynman diagrams to elementary particle propagators are the contribution of vacuum fluctuations or the zero-point energy to the particle masses.

[edit] Experimental observations

A phenomenon that is commonly presented as evidence for the existence of zero-point energy in vacuum is the Casimir effect, proposed in 1948 by Dutch physicist Hendrik B. G. Casimir (Philips Research), who considered the quantized electromagnetic field between a pair of grounded, neutral metal plates. The vacuum energy contains contributions from all wavelengths, except those excluded by the spacing between plates. As the plates draw together, more wavelengths are excluded and the vacuum energy decreases. The decrease in energy means there must be a force doing work on the plates as they move. This force has been measured and found to be in good agreement with the theory. However, there is still some debate on whether vacuum energy is necessary to explain the Casimir effect. Robert Jaffe of MIT argues that the Casimir force should not be considered evidence for vacuum energy, since it can be derived in QED without reference to vacuum energy by considering charge-current interactions (the radiation-reaction picture).^[6]

The experimentally measured Lamb shift has been argued to be, in part, a zero-point energy effect.^[7]

[edit] Gravitation and cosmology

Unsolved problems in physics
Why doesn’t the zero-point energy density of the vacuum change with changes in the volume of the universe? And related to that, why doesn’t the large constant zero-point energy density of the vacuum cause a large cosmological constant? What cancels it out?

In cosmology, the zero-point energy offers an intriguing possibility for explaining the speculative positive values of the proposed cosmological constant. In brief, if the energy is “really there”, then it should exert a gravitational force.^[8] In general relativity, mass and energy are equivalent; both produce a gravitational field. One obvious difficulty with this association is that the zero-point energy of the vacuum is absurdly large. Naively, it is infinite, because it includes the energy of waves with arbitrarily short wavelengths. But since only differences in energy are physically measurable, the infinity can be removed by renormalization. In all practical calculations, this is how the infinity is handled. It is also arguable that undiscovered physics relevant at the Planck scale reduces or eliminates the energy of waves shorter than the Planck length, making the total zero-point energy finite.

[edit] Free-energy devices

As a scientific concept, the existence of zero-point energy is not controversial although the ability to harness it is. In particular, perpetual motion machines and other power generating devices supposedly based on zero-point energy are highly controversial and, in many cases, in violation of some of the fundamental laws of physics.^{[citation needed]} However, many engineers claim to have invented such over-unity devices.

Thus, current claims to zero-point-energy-based power generation systems have the status of pseudoscience.^[9]

The discovery of zero-point energy did not alter the implausibility of perpetual motion machines. Much attention has been given to reputable science suggesting that zero-point-energy density is infinite, but in quantum theory, zero-point energy is a minimum energy below which a thermodynamic system can never go. Thus according to the standard quantum-theoretic viewpoint, none of this energy can be withdrawn without altering the system to a different form in which the system has a lower zero-point energy.

It is possible that the discovery of new physics will alter this conclusion. For example, in stochastic electrodynamics, the zero-point field is viewed as simply a classical background isotropic noise wave field which excites all systems present in the vacuum and thus is responsible for their minimum-energy or “ground” states. The requirement of Lorentz invariance at a statistical level then implies that the energy density spectrum must increase with the third power of frequency, implying infinite energy density when integrated over all frequencies.^[10] If this theory is correct, there is no reason that energy, or for that matter, momentum, could not be extracted, and would of course still leave infinite energy density and infinite momentum density, isotropic in all directions simultaneously, remaining in the wave field.

According to NASA, “the concept of accessing a significant amount of useful energy from the ZPE gained much credibility when a major article on this topic was recently [March 1st, 2004] published in Aviation Week & Space Technology, a leading aerospace industry magazine”.^[11]

The calculation that underlies the Casimir experiment, a calculation based on the formula predicting infinite vacuum energy, shows the zero-point energy of a system consisting of a vacuum between two plates will decrease at a finite rate as the two plates are drawn together. The vacuum energies are predicted to be infinite, but the changes are predicted to be finite. Casimir combined the projected rate of change in zero-point energy with the principle of conservation of energy to predict a force on the plates. The predicted force, which is very small and was experimentally measured to be within 5% of its predicted value, is finite.^[12] Even though the zero-point energy is theoretically infinite, there is as yet no practical evidence to suggest that infinite amounts of zero-point energy are available for use, that zero-point energy can be withdrawn for free, or that zero-point energy can be used in violation of conservation of energy.^[13]

U.S. Patent #3899144 for Powder Contrail Generation inventors: Donald K. Werle, et. al. Posted in this story is a very interesting PDF available for download here for a 1975 U.S. Patent issued to Donald K. Werle, Romas Kasparas, Sidney Katz, assigned through the U.S. Navy, that describes a dispersion method for a “powder contrail.”

As other researchers have also pointed out, the Powder Contrail Generation patent document could be a useful clue into the true agenda and purpose of the “chemtrail” phenomenon, which is clearly tied to almost a century of man-made weather manipulation. Already, it is admitted that the government has experimented with geo-engineering, which is says would help reflect heat and combat phony global warming / climate change.

It also references 5 other patents that deal with aviation fuel dispersants that go back to the 1920s. It further references the “chaff” application, as to create a radar jamming reflective screen, and other potential applications, including the use of numerous other powder formulas.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The powder contail generator in pod 10, shown in FIG. 1, is provided with a powder feed hopper 12 positioned in the center section of the pod and which feeds a powder 13 to a deagglomerator 14 by means of screw conveyors 16 across the bottom of the hopper. The deagglomerator 14 produces two stages of action. In the first stage of deagglomeration, a shaft 18 having projecting radial rods 19 in compartment 20 is rotated by an air motor 21, or other suitable drive means. The shaft 18 is rotated at about 10,000 rpm, for example. As powder 13 descends through the first stage compartment 20 of the deagglomeration chamber, the hammering action of rotating rods 19 serves to aerate and precondition the powder before the second stage of deagglomeration takes place in the jet mill section 22. In the jet mill 22, a plurality of radial jets 24 (e.g., six 0.050 inch diamter radial jets) direct nitrogen gas (at e.g., 120 psig) inward to provide energy for further deagglomeration of the powder. The N2, or other suitable gas, is provided from storage tanks 25 and 26, for example, in the pod.

The jet mill 22 operates in a similar manner to commercial fluid energy mills except that there is no provision for recirculation of oversize particles. Tests with the deagglomerator show that at a feed rate of approximately 11/2 lb/min, treated titanium dioxide powder pigment is effectively dispersed as single particles with very few agglomerates evident.

A d v e r t i s e m e n t

The nitrogen gas stored in cylinder tanks 25 and 26 is charged to 1800 psig, for example. Two stages of pressure reduction, for example, by pressure reduction valves 28 and 29, bring the final delivery pressure at the radial jets 24 and to the air motor 21 to approximately 120 psig. A solenoid valve 30 on the 120 psig line is connected in parallel with the electric motor 32 which operates the powder feeder screws 16 for simultaneous starting and running of the powder feed, the air motor and the jet mill deagglomerator.

Air enters ram air tube 34 at its entrance 35 and the exhaust from the jet mill deagglomerator passes directly into the ram air tube. At the deagglomerator exhaust 36 into ram air tube 34, an upstream deflector baffle 38 produces a venturi effect which minimizes back pressure on the powder feed system. The powder is then jetted from the exhaust end 40 of the ram air tube to produce a contrail. A pressure equalization tube, not shown, can be used to connect the top of the closed hopper 12 to the deagglomeration chamber 14. A butterfly valve could be provided at the powder hopper outlet 39 to completely isolate and seal off the powder supply when not in use. Powder 13 could then be stored in hopper 12 for several weeks, without danger of picking up excessive moisture, and still be adequately dispensed.

Preparation of the light scatter powder 13 is of a critical importance to production of a powder “contrail” having maximum visibility for a given weight of material. It is essential that the pigment powder particles be dispensed as separate single particles rather than as agglomerates of two or more particles. The powder treatment produces the most easily dispersed powder through the use of surface treatments which minimize interparticle cohesive forces.

Titanium dioxide pigment was selected as the primary light scattering material because of its highly efficient light scattering ability and commercially available pigment grades. Titanium dioxide pigment (e.g., DuPont R–931) with a median particle size of about 0.3u has a high bulk density and is not readily aerosolizable as a submicron cloud without the consumption of a large amount of deagglomeration energy. In order to reduce the energy requirement for deagglomeration, the TiO2 powder is specially treated with a hydrophobic colloidal silica which coats and separates the individual TiO2 pigment particles. The extremely fine particulate nature (0.007u primary particle size) of Cobot S–101 Silanox grade, for example, of colloidal silica minimizes the amount needed to coat and separate the TiO2 particles, and the hydrophobic surface minimizes the affinity of the powder for absorbtion of moisture from the atmosphere. Adsorbed moisture in powders causes liquid bridges at interparticle contacts and it then becomes necessary to overcome the adsorbed-liquid surface tension forces as well as the weaker Van der Waals’ forces before the particles can be separated.

The Silanox treated titanium dioxide pigment is further protected from the deleterious effects of adsorbed moisture by incorporation of silica gel. The silica gel preferentially adsorbs water vapor that the powder may be exposed to after drying and before use. The silica gel used is a powder product, such as Syloid 65 from the W. R Grace and Co., Davison Chemical Division, and has an average particle size about 4.5u and a large capacity for moisture at low humidities.

A typical powder composition used is shown in Table 1. This formulation was blended intimately with a Patterson-Kelley Co. twin shell dry LB-model LB–2161 with intensifier. Batches of 1500 g were blended for 15 min. each and packaged in 5-lb cans. The bulk density of the blended powder is 0.22 g/cc. Since deagglomeration is facilitated by having the powder bone dry, the powder should be predried before sealing the cans. In view of long periods (e.g., about 4 months) between powder preparation and use it is found preferable to spread the powder in a thin layer in an open container and place in a 400*F over two days before planned usage. The powder is removed and placed in the hopper about 2 hours before use.

Obviously many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.

BACKGROUND

The present invention relates to method and apparatus for contrail generation and the like.

An earlier known method in use for contrail generation involves oil smoke trails produced by injecting liquid oil directly into the hot jet exhaust of an aircraft target vehicle. The oil vaporizes and recondenses being the aircraft producing a brilliant white trail. Oil smoke trail production requires a minimum of equipment; and, the material is low in cost and readily available. However, oil smoke requires a heat source to vaporize the liquid oil and not all aircraft target vehicles, notably towed targets, have such a heat source. Also, at altitudes above about 25,000 feet oil smoke visibility degrades rapidly.

SUMMARY

The present invention is for a powder generator requiring no heat source to emit a “contrail” with sufficient visibility to aid in visual acquisition of an aircraft target vehicle and the like. The term “contrail” was adopted for convenience in identifying the visible powder trail of this invention. Aircraft target vehicles are used to simulate aerial threats for missile tests and often fly at altitudes between 5,000 and 20,000 feet at speeds of 300 and 400 knots or more. The present invention is also suitable for use in other aircraft vehicles to generate contrails or reflective screens for any desired purpose.

The powder contail generator is normally carried on an aircraft in a pod containing a ram air tube and powder feed hopper. Powder particles, surface treated to minimize interparticle cohesive forces are fed from the hopper to a deagglomerator and then to the ram air tube for dispensing as separate single particles to produce a contrail having maximum visibility for a given weight material.

Other object, advantages and novel features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.

The Truth About ‘Fluoride’

Jan 27, 2012 | Taboo Terminology

(or what every Mother should know)

by A. True Ott
tott@mountainwest.net
© August 2000

Fluoride used by Nazis to sterilize inmates and make them docile. Fluoride a key dumbing down ingredient of Prozac and Sarin nerve gas — poisons of choice for tyrant rats.

First of all, it needs to be stated that the ‘substance’ referred to as ‘Fluoride’ is a misnomer – there is no such substance listed in the periodic chart of the elements, nor in the prestigious CRC handbook, nor in the sacred ‘bible’ of the pharmaceutical industry – the illustrious ‘Merck Index’. Instead, we find a GAS called Fluorine – and from the use of this gas in various industries such as aluminum manufacturing and the nuclear industry -certain toxic byproducts are created which have ‘captured’ fluorine molecules. One such toxic, poisonous ‘byproduct’ is called sodium Fluoride – which according to the Merck Index is primarily used as rat and cockroach poison and is also the active ingredient in most toothpastes and as an “additive to drinking water”. But sadly, there is much more to this sordid tale.

Did you know that sodium Fluoride is also one of the basic ingredients in both PROZAC (FLUoxetene Hydrochloride) and Sarin Nerve Gas (Isopropyl-Methyl-Phosphoryl FLUORIDE) – (Yes, folks the same Sarin Nerve Gas that terrorists released on a crowded Japanese subway train!). Let me repeat: the truth the American public needs to understand is the fact that Sodium Fluoride is nothing more (or less) than a hazardous waste by-product of the nuclear and aluminum industries. In addition to being the primary ingredient in rat and cockroach poisons, it is also a main ingredient in anesthetic, hypnotic, and psychiatric drugs as well as military NERVE GAS! Why, oh why then is it allowed to be added to the toothpastes and drinking water of the American people?

Historically, this substance was quite expensive for the worlds’ premier chemical companies to dispose of – but in the 50’s and 60’s – Alcoa and the entire aluminum industry – with a vast overabundance of the toxic waste – SOMEHOW sold the FDA and our government on the insane (but highly profitable) idea of buying this poison at a 20,000% markup and then injecting it into our water supply as well as into the nation’s toothpastes and dental rinse. Yes that’s right folks, a 20,000% markup. Consider also that when sodium Fluoride is injected into our drinking water, its level is approximately 1 part-per-million (ppm), but since we only drink ½ of one percent of the total water supply, the hazardous chemical literally ‘goes down the drain’ and voila – the chemical industry has not only a free hazardous waste disposal system – but we have also PAID them handsomely in the process!!

Independent scientific evidence over the past 50 plus years has shown that sodium fluoride shortens our life span, promotes various cancers and mental disturbances, and most importantly, makes humans stupid, docile, and subservient, all in one neat little package. There is increasing evidence that aluminum in the brain is a causative factor in Alzheimer’s Disease, and evidence points towards sodium fluoride’s strong affinity to ‘bond’ with this dangerous aluminum (remember it is a byproduct of aluminum manufacturing) and also it has the ability to ‘trick’ the blood-brain barrier by imitating the hydrogen ion thus allowing this chemical access to brain tissue.

Honest scientists who have attempted to blow the whistle on sodium fluoride’s mega-bucks propaganda campaign have consistently been given a large dose of professional ‘black-listing’ and thus their valid points disputing the current vested interests never have received the ink they deserve in the national press. Just follow the money to find the ‘control’ and you will find prominent American families to be prominent ‘players’ in the scandal. In 1952 a slick PR campaign rammed the concept of ‘fluoridation’ through our Public Health departments and various dental organizations. This slick campaign was more akin to a highly emotional “beer salesman convention” instead of the objective, scientifically researched program that it should have been. It has continued in the same vein right up to the present day – and now sodium fluoride use has now become ‘usual and customary’.

To illustrate the emotional vs. the scientific nature of this issue, just look at the response given by people (perhaps yourself included?) when the subject of fluoridation comes up. You need to ask yourself, “Is this particular response based on EMOTIONS born of TRADITION, or is it truly unbiased and based instead on thoroughly researched objectivity?” There is a tremendous amount of emotional, highly unscientific “know-it-all” emotions attached to the topic of ‘sodium fluoride’ usage -but I personally have yet to find even ONE objective, double blind study that even remotely links sodium fluoride to healthy teeth at ANY AGE. Instead, I hear and read such blather as “9 out of 10 DENTISTS recommend ‘fluoride’ toothpaste” etc. etc. etc. Let me reiterate: truly independent (unattached to moneyed vested interest groups) scientists who’ve spent a large portion of their lives studying and working with this subject have been hit with a surprising amount of unfair character assassinations from strong vested-interest groups who reap grand profits from the public’s ignorance as well as from their illnesses. (Just follow the money!)

Do you have diabetes and/or kidney disease? There are reportedly more than 11 million Americans with diabetes. If it is true that diabetics drink more liquids than other people, then according to the Physicians Desk Reference these 11 million people are at much higher risk drinking fluoridated water because they will receive a much deadlier dose because of their need for higher than normal water consumption. Kidney disease, by definition, lowers the efficiency of the kidneys, which of course is the primary means in which fluoride (or any other toxic chemical) is eliminated from the body. Does it not make sense that these people shouldn’t drink fluoridated water at all? Cases are on record (Annapolis, Maryland, 1979) where ill kidney patients on dialysis machines died because they ingested relatively small amounts of SODIUM FLUORIDE from unwittingly drinking the ‘fluoridated’ city water supply? Will adequate warnings be given to people with weak kidneys, or will the real cause of such deaths be ‘covered up’ in the name of ‘domestic tranquility’?

Concerning the ‘practice’ of putting sodium fluoride into drinking water, where did this insanity begin and WHO tried it first? From personal research, the very first occurrence of purposefully putting sodium fluoride into drinking water was in the German ghettos and in Nazi Germany’s infamous prison camps. The Gestapo you see had little concern about sodium fluoride’s ‘supposed’ effect on children’s teeth; instead, their reason for mass-medicating water with sodium fluoride was to STERILIZE HUMANS and force the people in their concentration camps into calm, bovine, submission. (See for reference: “The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben” written by Joseph Borkin.) Kind of shocking isn’t it folks!! Ah, but it gets even better.

The following letter was received by the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research, Milwaukee Wisconsin, on 2 October 1954, from a research chemist by the name of Charles Perkins. He writes:

“I have your letter of September 29 asking for further documentation regarding a statement made in my book, “The Truth about Water Fluoridation”, to the effect that the idea of water fluoridation was brought to England from Russia by the Russian Communist Kreminoff. In the 1930’s Hitler and the German Nazis envisioned a world to be dominated and controlled by a Nazi philosophy of pan-Germanism. The German chemists worked out a very ingenious and far-reaching plan of mass-control which was submitted to and adopted by the German General Staff. This plan was to control the population in any given area through mass medication of drinking water supplies. By this method they could control the population in whole areas, reduce population by water medication that would produce sterility in women, and so on. In this scheme of mass-control, sodium fluoride occupied a prominent place.

“Repeated doses of infinitesimal amounts of fluoride will in time reduce an individual’s power to resist domination, by slowly poisoning and narcotizing a certain area of the brain, thus making him submissive to the will of those who wish to govern him. [A convenient and cost-effective light lobotomy? — Ott].

“The real reason behind water fluoridation is not to benefit children’s teeth. If this were the real reason there are many ways in which it could be done that are much easier, cheaper, and far more effective. The real purpose behind water fluoridation is to reduce the resistance of the masses to domination and control and loss of liberty.”

“When the Nazis under Hitler decided to go to Poland, both the German General Staff and the Russian General Staff exchanged scientific and military ideas, plans, and personnel, and the scheme of mass control through water medication was seized upon by the Russian Communists because it fitted ideally into their plans to communize the world.”

“I was told of this entire scheme by a German chemist who was an official of the great I.G. Farben chemical industries and was also prominent in the Nazi movement at the time. I say this with all the earnestness and sincerity of a scientist who has spent nearly 20 years’ research into the chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology of fluorine — any person who drinks artificially fluorinated water for a period of one year or more will never again be the same person mentally or physically.”

Signed: CHARLES E. PERKINS, Chemist, 2 October, 1954.

Another letter needs to be quoted at length as well to help corroborate Mr. Perkin’s testimony. This letter was written by a brilliant (and objectively honest) scientist named Dr. E.H. Bronner. Dr. Bronner was a nephew of the great Albert Einstein, served time in a WWII prison camp and wrote the following letter printed in the Catholic Mirror, Springfield, MA, January 1952:

“It appears that the citizens of Massachusetts are among the ‘next’ on the agenda of the water poisoners.

“There is a sinister network of subversive agents, Godless intellectual parasites, working in our country today whose ramifications grow more extensive, more successful and more alarming each new year and whose true objective is to demoralize, paralyze and destroy our great Republic —- from within if they can, according to their plan — for their own possession.”

“The tragic success they have already attained in their long siege to destroy the moral fiber of American life is now one of their most potent footholds towards their own ultimate victory over us.”

“Fluoridation of our community water systems can well become their most subtle weapon for our sure physical and mental deterioration. As a research chemist of established standing, I built within the past 22 years 3 American chemical plants and licensed 6 of my 53 patents. Based on my years of practical experience in the health food and chemical field, let me warn: fluoridation of drinking water is criminal insanity, sure national suicide. DON’T DO IT!!”

“Even in very small quantities, sodium fluoride is a deadly poison to which no effective antidote has been found. Every exterminator knows that it is the most effective rat-killer. Sodium Fluoride is entirely different from organic calcium-fluoro-phosphate needed by our bodies and provided by nature, in God’s great providence and love, to build and strengthen our bones and our teeth. This organic calcium-fluoro-phosphate, derived from proper foods, is an edible organic salt, insoluble in water and assimilable by the human body; whereas the non-organic sodium fluoride used in fluoridating water is instant poison to the body and fully water soluble. The body refuses to assimilate it.”

“Careful, bonafide laboratory experimentation by conscientious, patriotic research chemists, and actual medical experience, have both revealed that instead of preserving or promoting ‘dental health’, fluoridated drinking water destroys teeth before adulthood and after, by the destructive mottling and other pathological conditions it actually causes in them, and also creates many other very grave pathological conditions in the internal organisms of bodies consuming it. How then can it be called a ‘health plan’? What’s behind it?”

“That any so-called ‘Doctors’ would persuade a civilized nation to add voluntarily a deadly poison to its drinking water systems is unbelievable. It is the height of criminal insanity!”

“No wonder Hitler and Stalin fully believed and agreed from 1939 to 1941 that, quoting from both Lenin’s ‘Last Will’ and Hitler’s Mein Kampf: “America we shall demoralize, divide, and destroy from within.”

“Are our Civil Defense organizations and agencies awake to the perils of water poisoning by fluoridation? Its use has been recorded in other countries. Sodium Fluoride water solutions are the cheapest and most effective rat killers known to chemists: colorless, odorless, tasteless; no antidote, no remedy, no hope: Instant and complete extermination of rats.”

“Fluoridation of water systems can be slow national suicide, or quick national liquidation. It is criminal insanity ——- treason!!”

Signed: Dr. E.H. Bronner, Research Chemist, Los Angeles

Apparently, the public outcry by Dr. Bronner and others precluded the fluoridation of public water systems for a season – but soon thereafter, the Food and Drug Administration allowed this deadly poison to be put in ‘toothpaste’, and our dentists were systematically brainwashed into providing ‘fluoride treatments’ to their many patients. Of course, today many major metropolitan areas have a minimum of 1 parts per million sodium fluoride systematically added to their water supply and more areas are seeking to add this poison every year. Add to this the fact that bottling companies (soft drinks, juices, etc.) use fluoridated water to make their products – is it any wonder that people can no longer think clearly and ask pertinent questions of their elected and ecclesiastical leaders? Is it also a mystery why so many top Nazi mind control scientists were brought to America by the CIA and their infamous ‘Operation Paper Clip’?

If you believe all of this is ‘just a coincidence’ – go ahead and keep brushing your teeth with your ‘fluoride’ toothpaste and sucking on your sodium fluoride enhanced Coke or Pepsi product – for ignorance truly is bliss and you truly deserve what you get.

Mothers, if your little ones are having trouble concentrating at home or in school, or have been diagnosed as ‘attention deficit’ – perhaps you would be well advised to look for the culprit (and the solution to the problem) no further than your home medicine cabinet (your tube of toothpaste) and your friendly neighborhood school’s water fountain!!

Finally, An Apocalypse-Proof Bunker House

Jan 27, 2012 | Satire

Located in Adirondack State Park in New York, this cabin is now on sale for $1.75 million. It was constructed on top of a cold-war era missile storage tower and is just perfect in case of a nuclear war or the zombie apocalypse (stock accordingly). Its above ground area is 2,000 square feet (186 square meters), but once you enter the basement, you’ll enjoy another 2,300 square feet (213 square meters).

A bird’s eye view of the property.

Upstairs room.

The entrance to the basement.

Basement door.

The basement area used to be a launch control center and then was converted into a couple of bedrooms, a dining room and bathrooms.

Stairs that lead to the storage tower.

Tunnel that leads to the storage tower.

Inside the storage tower. Even though it’s now empty, a missile used to be housed inside this nine-story building. And as you can see it is a luxurious and inviting area for the whole family to enjoy the rest of their lives.

Drunken Ben Bernanke Tells Everyone At Neighborhood Bar How Screwed U.S. Economy Really Is

Jan 27, 2012 | Satire

August 3, 2011 | ISSUE 47•31

The intoxicated Federal Reserve chairman informs bar patrons of the dangers of reckless spending.

Article Tools

SEWARD, NE—Claiming he wasn’t afraid to let everyone in attendance know about “the real mess we’re in,” Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke reportedly got drunk Tuesday and told everyone at Elwood’s Corner Tavern about how absolutely fucked the U.S. economy actually is.

Bernanke, who sources confirmed was “totally sloshed,” arrived at the drinking establishment at approximately 5:30 p.m., ensconced himself upon a bar stool, and consumed several bottles of Miller High Life and a half-dozen shots of whiskey while loudly proclaiming to any patron who would listen that the economic outlook was “pretty goddamned awful if you want the God’s honest truth.”

“Look, they don’t want anyone except for the Washington, D.C. bigwigs to know how bad shit really is,” said Bernanke, slurring his words as he spoke. “Mounting debt exacerbated—and not relieved—by unchecked consumption, spiraling interest rates, and the grim realities of an inevitable worldwide energy crisis are projected to leave our entire economy in the shitter for, like, a generation, man, I’m telling you.”

Enlarge Image A drunken Bernanke attempts to find the Aerosmith song “Back In The Saddle” on the bar jukebox.

“And hell, as long as we’re being honest, I might as well tell you that a truer estimate of the U.S. unemployment rate is actually up around 16 percent, with a 0.7 percent annual rate of economic growth if we’re lucky—if we’re lucky,” continued Bernanke, nearly knocking a full beer over while gesturing with his hands. “Of course, if everybody knew that, it would likely cripple financial markets across the entire fucking globe, even in various emerging economies with self- sustaining growth.”

After launching into an extended 45-minute diatribe about shortsighted moves by “those bastards in Congress” that could potentially exacerbate the nation’s already deeply troublesome budget imbalance, the Federal Reserve chairman reportedly bought a round of tequila shots for two customers he had just met who were seated on either side of him, announcing, “I love these guys.”

Numerous bar patrons slowly nodded in agreement as Bernanke went on to suggest the United States could pass three or four more stimulus packages and “it wouldn’t even matter.”

“You think that’s going to create long-term economic growth, let alone promote job creation?” Bernanke said. “We’re way beyond that, my friend. There are no jobs, okay? There’s nothing. I think that calls for another drink, don’t you?”

While using beer bottles and pretzel sticks in an attempt to explain to the bartender the importance of infusing $650 billion into the bond market, the inebriated Fed chairman nearly fell off his stool and had to be held up by the patron sitting next to him.

Another bargoer confirmed Bernanke stood about 2 inches from her face and sprayed her with saliva, claiming inflation was going to “totally screw” consumer confidence and then asking if he could bum a smoke.

“Sure, we could hold down long-term interest rates and pursue a program of quantitative easing, but c’mon, we all know that’s not going to make the slightest bit of difference when it comes to output, demand, or employment,” Bernanke said before being told to “try to keep [his] voice down” by the bartender. “And trust me, with the value of the U.S. dollar in the toilet, import costs going through the roof, and numerous world governments unprepared for their own substantial debt burdens, shit’s not looking too good for us abroad, either.”

“God, I’m so wasted,” added Bernanke, resting his head on the bar.

Later in the evening, Richard Kampman, a truck driver who was laid off in 2010, said Bernanke approached him in the men’s restroom and attempted to strike up a conversation about various factors contributing to the current financial crisis.

“He stumbled up to the urinal and started mumbling on about the depressed housing sector or something,” said Kampman, who claimed Bernanke had to use both hands on the wall to steady himself. “Then after a while he just sort of stopped and I couldn’t tell if he was laughing or crying.”

“Then he puked all over the sink and the mirror,” Kampman added.

Customers at the bar told reporters the “shitfaced” and disruptive Bernanke refused to pay for his drinks with U.S. currency, claiming it was “worthless.” Witnesses also confirmed that near the end of the evening, Bernanke put money into the jukebox and selected Dire Straits’ “Money For Nothing” to play five times in a row.

“This is what it’s all about,” said Bernanke, who reportedly danced alone in the middle of the dark tavern. “Fucking love this song.”

Your Rights Regarding Social Security Numbers

1. PART I YOUR RIGHTS WHEN AN SSN IS REQUESTED

1.1. Question: Do I have to get my newborn child a social security number?

Answer: No. There is no law that requires parents to get a social security number for their newborn children. The Social Security Administration was recently asked this very question. In their response the Assistant Commissioner of Social Security stated:

“The Social Security Act does not require a person to have a Social Security number (SSN) to live and work in the United States, nor does it require an SSN simply for the purpose of having one.”Many hospitals automatically generate social security number application forms (Form SS-5) for newborns before they leave the hospital. This is done under the “enumeration at birth” program instituted under the GATT legislation. But hospital personnel are required to ask the parent if they want to get a SSN for their child. The parent can simply decline the service. Many people, such as those who give birth at home, never deal with this hospital paperwork at all. Once a number is assigned to a child it is difficult if not impossible to get it expunged from the SSA records. (See “5. Can I rescind my social security number?” below.)

Subsequent to the “Family Support Act of 1988” (Pub. L. 100-485) some States now require parents to give their Social Security numbers in order to get a birth certificate for a newborn.As amended, Title 42 U.S.C. 405(c)(2)(C)(ii) includes the following:”In the administration of any law involving the issuance of a birth certificate, each State shall require each parent to furnish to such State (or political subdivision thereof) or any agency thereof having administrative responsibility for the law involved, the social security account number (or numbers, if the parent has more than one such number) issued to the parent unless the State (in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Commissioner of Social Security) finds good cause for not requiring the furnishing of such number. The State shall make numbers furnished under this sub clause available to the agency administering the State’s plan under part D of subchapter IV of this chapter in accordance with Federal or State law and regulation. Such numbers shall not be recorded on the birth certificate.”The federal law (another federal funding-contingent requirement) allows the SSN requirement to be waived for “good cause.” There is no definition included in the Act for “good cause.” And more importantly, there is absolutely NO PENALTY imposed on anyone for refusing to provide the “required” [requested] SSNs.

1.2. Question: Can I claim a tax deduction for dependents without using Social security numbers?

Answer: Probably not. In 1994 Congress enacted “Uruguay Round Agreements Act,” (H.R.5110, Public Law: 103-465), to implement certain requirements imposed upon the member nations that signed on to the NAFTA and GATT treaties. The GATT implementing legislation includes the following provision: “TITLE VII–

REVENUE PROVISIONS, Subtitle E – (amendments to the U.S. Code)”SEC. 742.
TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS REQUIRED AT BIRTH.
“(b) DEPENDENCY EXEMPTION- Subsection (e) of section 6109 is amended to read as follows:
“`(e) FURNISHING NUMBER FOR DEPENDENTS- Any taxpayer who claims an exemption under section 151 for any dependent on a return for any taxable year shall include on such return the identifying number (for purposes of this title) of such dependent.'”

During floor discussion on passage of this treaty-implementing legislation, the following exchange took place between Senators Moynihan and Domenici:

“Mr. DOMENICI: A final question of special concern is that GATT requires that every United States citizen receive an identification number at birth, and that this matter is unrelated and irrelevant to matters of trade. The answer is that this requirement is included in the implementing language of GATT; it is not part of the GATT itself. This language was included in the implementing legislation because to ensure accurate assessments of income taxes, improper deductions on tax returns must be minimized.

“Mr. MOYNIHAN: It is the Social Security number.

“Mr. DOMENICI: The Social Security number, that is right. As a consequence, this section is designed to reduce tax cheating by people who claim children they do not have, which has the effect of reducing their taxes. This is important because it has a significant effect on the amount of tax revenue collected, which directly correlates with the overall net cost of the agreement to the U.S. Treasury. Therefore, the United States has decided that it is critical to maintain an accurate accounting of its taxable population.” [Congressional Record, 1994, Page: S15275]

Additionally, in 1997 Congress passed the “Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997” –

(HR2014, Public Law: 105-34). Section 101 of the Act entitled “Child Tax Credit” amended the Internal Revenue Code, Title 26, section 151, subpart A of part IV of subchapter A of chapter 1, (regarding deductions for dependents), by adding Section (24), so as to now read:

“(e) No credit shall be allowed under this section to a taxpayer with respect to any qualifying child unless the taxpayer includes the name and taxpayer identification number of such qualifying child on the return of tax for the taxable year.”

Recently, the following letter was sent by the IRS to a family claiming their children on their tax return without supplying their social security number:

“Dear Taxpayer:
“This letter is your legal notice that we have disallowed your claim(s). We can’t allow your claim(s) for refund or credit for the period(s) shown above for the reason(s) listed below.

“PER SECTION 151(e) STATES THAT EACH DEPENDENT MUST HAVE AN IDENTIFICATION NUMBER IF THEY ARE BEING CLAIMED AS A DEPENDENT ON THE TAX RETURN. SECTION 152(e) HAS BEEN CORRECTLY APPLIED. (emphasis added)

“If you want to sue to recover tax, penalties, or other amounts, you may file a lawsuit with the United States District Court having jurisdiction or with the United States Court of Federal Claims. These courts are independent bodies and have no connection with the Internal Revenue Service.

“The law permits you to do this within 2 years from the mailing date of this letter. If you decide to appeal our decision first, the 2-year period still begins from the mailing date of this letter.

“However, if you signed an agreement that waived your right to the notice of disallowance (Form 2297), the period for filing a lawsuit began on the date you filed the waiver.”

The IRS Code states that the “taxpayer identification number, (TIN)” in certain cases is a social security number. Claims for dependent children without associated SSNs may be disallowed. (See also “4. Can I get a TIN?” included in this FAQ.) The 1998, Form 1040 instructions state, regarding dependents, “If you do not enter the correct SSN, at the time we process your return, we may disallow the exemption claimed for the dependent.”

1.3. Question: Can I give some other number when I am asked to provide an SSN?

Answer: Yes, with caveats.

Government Agencies:
Giving ANY false information to a government agency for any reason may result in prosecution, fines, and even imprisonment. Title 42 U.S. Code, section 408 imposes fines and penalties for misuse of social security numbers. Title 18 U.S.
Code, section 1028 imposes criminal penalties and fines for misuse of government documents. It is a violation of one or more federal laws to make a misrepresentation to a federal agency.

Private Businesses:
A person may arrange by agreement with a private concern, business, or enterprise to use a substitute number other than a social security number, but it should be made clear that the number being used is not an SSN.

1.4. Question: Can I get a TIN?

Answer: Only if you are an “alien.” A “TIN” (an IRS “Taxpayer Identification Number”) may be assigned ONLY to “alien” individuals who are not eligible to work in the United States. Additionally, TINs are issued by the Internal Revenue Service, unlike the SSN which is the only number issued by the SSA. A TIN is not an alternative or a “substitute” for a SSN.
The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 26 – Internal Revenue, ChapterI, Sec. 301.6109-1 titled “Identifying Numbers” states that:
“(a)(1)(i) [T]here are generally three types of taxpayer identifying numbers:
social security numbers, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) individual taxpayer identification numbers, and employer identification numbers. Social security numbers take the form 000-00-0000, IRS individual taxpayer identification numbers take the form 000-00-0000 but begin with a specific number designated by the IRS, and employer identification numbers take the form 00-0000000. Both social security numbers and IRS individual taxpayer identification numbers identify individual persons… For the definition of IRS individual taxpayer identification number, see paragraph (d)(3) of this section.”
“(d)(3)(i) The term IRS individual taxpayer identification number means a taxpayer identifying number issued to an alien individual by the Internal Revenue Service… the term alien individual means an individual who is not a citizen or national of the United States.”

1.5. Question: Can I rescind my social security number?

Answer: You can only file a request for the SSA to delete the record of your SSN “application,” they will not rescind a SSN once assigned. The Social Security Act Does Not Require Anyone to Obtain a SSN: It should be first noted that the Social Security Act does not require anyone to obtain a Social Security number.

The Social Security Administration has consistently stated as follows:

“The Social Security Act does not require a person to have a Social Security number (SSN) to live and work in the United States, nor does it require an SSN simply for the purpose of having one.”

The SSA only says that if someone works without a SSN the agency cannot correctly credit the person’s account for the period in which they work without a number.

1.5.1 Rescinding Numbers Assigned to Children At Birth:

As stated earlier, many hospitals have (relatively recently) begun filling out social security number application forms (SSA form SS-5) for newborn children under the enumeration at birth program. The Social Security Administration can remove the record of a number being assigned to a child, however they will resist doing so. In fact, the SSA office will likely try to intimidate a parent into keeping a number once one has been assigned. A parent requesting to have a number removed from their child will be treated in accordance with SSA Policy RM00205.95, as indicated below:—

SSN ASSIGNED THROUGH ENUMERATION AT BIRTH RM 00205.95 Parent Objects to Assignment of SSN to Child Under the Enumeration at Birth (EAB) Program

A. POLICY – SSA does not change, void or cancel SSNs. In special situations, SSA will delete the applicant information from the SSN record.

B. PROCEDURE – PARENT OBJECTS TO SSN
– A parent may object when a child is assigned an SSN via the EAB program. If a child is issued an SSN card via the EAB program (the online Numident shows “FMC:6” for Enumeration at Birth items) and the mother states she answered “no” to the enumeration question when providing birth information for the newborn, assume that either the hospital made an error or the State inadvertently keyed “yes”. Explain that the child will need an SSN eventually if he/she will be listed as a dependent on an income tax return. If the parent accepts this explanation and will keep the SSN card, stop. If this explanation is not acceptable explain that on SSA’s records, the record will remain dormant, unless earnings are posted. If the parent accepts this explanation and will keep the SSN card, stop. If the parent accepts the explanation but does not want the SSN card:
– repossess and destroy the card (RM 00201.060).
– explain that if the parent later applies for an SSN card for the child, the same number will be assigned.

C. PROCEDURE – REQUEST FOR DELETION
If the parent insists that we delete the applicant information from the SSN record, explain that the deletion action may take several months:

– Document the parent’s objection and advise the parent that the case must be sent to the central office (C0) for review.- Explain to the parent that if we delete the applicant information from the SSN record, a subsequent SSN request (likely before the child is age one) will result in a different SSN. In addition, if and when the parent files for an SSN for the child in the future, he/she should enter “no” in item 10 on the SS-5.
– Forward all material pertinent to the situation (including F0 observation and recommendation) to the CO at:
Social Security Administration OPBP, DE, E&E 3-E-26 Operations Building, 6401 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, Maryland 21235
– Request CO review of the case and take action concerning the parent’s request for deletion of the data from the SSN record. – – Send a copy of the entire file to the appropriate regional office staff so that they can discuss ongoing problems with the involved State.

—
[End of Policy Statement]
—

The Social Security Administration will remind the parent that, (as stated elsewhere in this FAQ) a parent can no longer claim their child for a “child tax credit” on IRS tax forms without identifying their child using a SSN. The SSA representative may also say that the child will need a SSN to enroll in school and in order to work. Although schools often do ask for a SSN when a child enrolls there is no requirement that the child must have one in order to go to school. (The issue of working without a SSN is addressed in this FAQ under Part II, Number 2: “Do I have to provide a social security number to my employer?”)
With persistence a SSN assigned to a child will likely be removed under the above procedure.

1.5.2 Applying to Have the SSN Application Removed From an Adult:

If a person decided they do not need or want an SSN, they may request that SSA delete the record of their SSN application. Since the SSA policy states that in special situations, SSA will delete the “application information from the SSN record,” the agency should honor all such requests.

1.5.3 The Social Security Administration May Not Remove The Record of Some SSNs:

A question was recently posed to the Social Security Administration regarding rescinding an adult’s Social Security number. The Agency’s response indicates that once payments have been made under an assigned account number, the record of the Social Security number — and all information about the person it was assigned to — will never be removed from SSA files.

The Social Security Administration policy manual, “RM 00205.095,” addresses this issue; it states:

“SSA does not change, void or cancel SSNs. In special situations, SSA will delete the application information from the SSN record.” This specific SSA policy statement is in regard to numbers assigned to children at birth.

However, the statement appears to be a “blanket” policy. Apparently this is the SSA policy with regard to all assigned SSNs. Accordingly, it appears that the SSA does not delete or remove SSNs from their records under any circumstance. All indications are that once a SSN has ever been assigned, the record is permanently maintained by the Administration.

According to the Social Security Regulations, a person must use a SSN if they apply for public benefits. An applicant for government benefits who does not have, or does not use, a SSN will be denied.

In conclusion, once a person has ever been assigned a SSN – and paid into the Social Security system – they will ALWAYS HAVE A SSN in the records maintained by the SSA. This fact alone should be enough to make people choose to NOT get Social Security numbers assigned to their children. If they do, however, the SSN will remain associated with them forever. Only in certain cases – and then, only with persistence – will the SSA remove the record of the “application” for a SSN.

1.5.4. Rescinding an SSN:

Some people have sent letters to the Social Security Administration stating that they were “rescinding” their social security number. They publicly “give it back” so to speak. However, the Social Security Administration continues to maintain a record pertaining to each person using their social security account number. It’s sort of analogous to the theme of the pop song “Hotel California” by the Eagles band where it says, “you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.” We are not aware of any cases where the SSA agreed to expunge an adults records. Neither are we aware of any occasion where the SSA refunded any amount of contributions.

1.6 Social Security is Not a Contract:

Some people argue that when they applied for a SSN, they “unknowingly” entered into a “contract” with SSA and that by rescinding their number they absolve themselves of any commitment they may have unknowingly made. But the simple fact is, Social Security is not a contract. This very important point is clearly brought out by Larry Becraft in his brief entitled “Comment Upon Voluntary Nature of Social Security.” Therein, he states:

“Is Social Security a contract? A private insurance policy is clearly a contract because the policyholder makes a promise to pay money to the insurance company, which in turn agrees to likewise pay the policyholder if certain contingencies arise. These “promise to pay” elements are essential for a contract, but they simply are not present with Social Security. First, Social Security “payments” are not premium payments, but are taxes instead.

“Secondly, there is no corresponding and enforceable ‘promise to pay’ from the Social Security Administration to its ‘beneficiaries.’ [G]overnment contracts are very special and require an appropriation from Congress before money can be expended and a contract made. Regarding Social Security, the only ‘beneficiaries’ who have any claim against the public treasury are those for whom Congress has already made an appropriation, which can last no longer than a year. The rest of the Social Security claimants in America have no enforceable claim on public funds, and all they possess is a ‘political promise,’ upon which Congress can renege at any moment. If Congress decided tomorrow to cut off all Social Security, nobody would have any claim for payment. Thus, Social Security has never been and is not now a contract.”

Simply applying for (and receiving) a Social Security number does not constitute the making of a contract. And additionally, the Social Security Administration has never asserted that Social Security was a “contractual” agreement.

2. PART II OBJECTING TO REQUESTS FOR SSNs

2.1 BUSINESSES REQUESTING SSNs

2.1.1 Do I have to give my SSN to “XYZ” Company in order to get [some service or goods]?

Answer: No, but you may be denied the service or goods.

When an individual and a private company engage in any business transaction they are actually entering into a contractual agreement – whether written, stated, or implied. The contractual “terms and conditions” (which may be included in a written contract or may simply be a “policy”) may include a requirement for a social security number as a condition to conducting business. In such case it is totally up to the individual to decide whether or not they want to conduct business according to the contractual terms. If the person does not agree to the terms, they will notbe able to conclude the transaction. It’s that simple. There is no “law” specifically requiring a private company to conduct business with a person who refuses to comply with their contractual terms – even if it includes a requirement for a SSN.

The Social Security Administration in their publication “SSA Publication No. 05-10064”, July 1997, regarding business requests for social security numbers states:

“If a business or other enterprise asks for your Social Security number, you can refuse to give it to them. They may have another method of keeping their records. However, this may mean doing without the benefit or service for which your number was requested. Giving your Social Security number is voluntary, even when you are asked for the number directly.

“If requested, you should ask- “- why your Social Security number is needed; “- how your Social Security number is going to be used; “- what law requires you to give your Social Security number; and “- what are the consequences if you refuse to give your Social Security number. “Answers to these questions will help you decide whether you want to give your Social Security number to get the benefit or service. The decision is yours.”

The Social Security Administration recognizes and acknowledges the fact that in some cases individuals may not be able to “buy or sell” if they refuse to give out their social security number. However, many businesses will agree to use a number other than a social security number if asked to do so.

If you decide to resist giving out your social security number to a private company but you would like to do business with them anyway, you need to determine why they want your number. The two most likely answers are: 1) They simply want a unique nine digit number to enter into a computer database so that they can identify and distinguish you from other customers within their record keeping system; or, 2) They want to obtain a “consumer credit report” for use in determining whether they want to extend you credit. In the latter case, the business may have a contract with a credit-reporting agency to “exchange” information about you and your account, typically using a SSN. Both of these “reasons” can be satisfied, upon agreement, without necessitating the use of a SSN. A credit report can be obtained without using a SSN.

Once it is determined exactly why the business wants to obtain a SSN, then determine whether an alternative arrangement can be worked out.

The “simple” answer to the question as to whether a person must give their social security number to engage in some business transaction is “NO”. But the business may refuse to conduct business with the resistor. The options here are to either: 1) give out your social security number; 2) do without the goods, benefit, service, or access; 3) persuade the other party to amend or modify the contractual terms and conditions; or, 4) sue the other party in court – the grounds for such suit would have to be determined by tort merits of the complaint (perhaps discrimination).

2.1.2. Do I have to give my employer my SSN?

Answer: No. Employment is a form of contractual agreement. Generally, the same points made in the previous answer regarding contractual agreements also apply here.

If the terms of employment include a requirement that the employee must supply their social security number then there are basically four options available: 1) supply the requested SSN; 2) ask to work out another arrangement where the SSN isn’t required; 3) don’t work for that company; or, 4) sue the business in court.

An employee or job applicant may be able to receive protection from coerced submission of a SSN for employment purposes by relying on federal anti-discrimination laws. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 Section 703(a)(1), Title VII, 42 U.S.C. Section 2000e-2(a)(1) makes it unlawful to discriminate against any employee or perspective employee on the bases of his or her religion. (This is in addition to the basic Constitutional First Amendment protection of the free exercise of religion.)

In 1992 a complaint was filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEOC) by a Mr. Hanson, wherein he claimed as a “Christian Fundamentalist” he could not obtain or use a SSN. The EEOC filed suit against the business that fired Mr. Hanson on his behalf. The suit claimed that firing Mr. Hanson due to his not having or getting a SSN constituted discrimination due to his religious belief. The business claimed that they were required to either force Mr. Hanson to get a SSN or fire him because they were required by certain IRS Code sections and regulations to report all employees’ SSNs on certain IRS forms. The business also responded that it was required by federal law to report all employees’ SSNs to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

The EEOC countered that the only requirement imposed upon a businesses by the various tax laws was that employers must “request” an employee’s or potential employee’s taxpayer identification number, and that there was be no penalty for a business not succeeding in obtaining one. The EEOC, itself a federal government agency, stated in its “Plaintiff’s Response to Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss” that:

“the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated pursuant to the code do not contain an absolute requirement that an employer provide an employee social security number to the IRS.”

The EEOC further argued that employers were permitted to use any one of several acceptable forms of identification and employment eligibility verification other than a SSN and still comply with the Immigration Reform Act requirements.
The Court denied the employer’s motion to dismiss the complaint. A settlement was later reached in which Mr. Hanson was awarded back pay. The Court’s final decree setting out the terms of the settlement stated that: “The [employer] shall be permanently enjoined from terminating an employee for failure to provide a social security number because of religious beliefs.”

A sincerely held religious belief may serve as a valid basis for objecting to requirements for a social security number for employment purposes. A business could be found guilty of discrimination for taking adverse action against an employee or applicant due to their refusal to use or obtain a SSN.

2.2 GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES REQUESTS FOR SSNs

2.2.1. Do I have to give the State my SSN to get a driver’s license?

See the following URL to read what the Social Security Administration says about this subject:

(The answers addressed in this section apply equally to State “Voter Registration” and “Blood Banks,” in that the same sections of law reviewed herein are worded similarly for these two additional State administered functions.)

Answer: No, but you may be unlawfully denied the license depending on the particular State you live in. Driver licensing, voter registration, and blood donation laws vary from state to state. Federal, state, and local laws regulate what information may or may not obtained from individuals by governmental agencies. These laws govern how and when information may be requested as well as what uses may or may not be made of the personal information collected by government agencies.

By far the most common “governmental” request for social security numbers comes from state driver’s licensing agencies.

When someone applies for a driver’s license and objects to giving out their SSN the license administrator will often respond, “Federal law requires that we must get it,” or “Federal law authorizes us to get it.” So, to answer the questions regarding use of SSNs by government agencies we must first look at the controlling “Federal” laws.

Title 42 of the United States Code, Section 405(c)(2)(C)(i) “PERMITS” States to use social security numbers in the administration of their driver licensing programs. However, this is not a federal “requirement” that States must obtain social security numbers when issuing driver’s licenses. Therefore, Title 42 U.S.C. 405(c)(2)(C)(i) is not an “authority” for states to require SSNs. The Social Security Administration addressed this fact in their publication “SSA Publication No. 05-10002”, October 1996, which states:

“You should not use your Social Security card as an identification card.
However, several other government agencies [other than SSA] are permitted by law to use Social Security numbers, but there is no law either authorizing or prohibiting their use.”

As shown in the above quoted publication, several government agencies are “PERMITTED” by law to use social security numbers, but THERE IS NO LAW “AUTHORIZING” such use. An important recent U.S. Supreme Court decision reaffirmed the fact that the federal government cannot compel [force] states to enforce a federal regulatory program – such as requiring SSNs. In the case “Sheriffs Mack and Printz v. The United States,” June 27, 1997, the nation’s highest court stated:

“We held in “New York” that Congress cannot compel the States to enact or enforce a federal regulatory program. Today we hold that Congress cannot circumvent that prohibition by conscripting the State’s officers directly. The Federal Government may neither issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States’ officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program. It matters not whether policymaking is involved, and no case-by-case weighing of the burdens or benefits is necessary; such commands are fundamentally incompatible with our constitutional system of dual sovereignty.”

Under the Printz line of U.S. Supreme Court cases the federal government cannot, even if it wanted to, force states to obtain a social security numbers as a condition to getting a driver’s license. To do so would constitute a federal subjugation of each State law-making lawmaking authority in direct violation of the fundamental and historical legal principle of “dual sovereignty”.

However, Congress HAS enacted a multitude of new laws (all connected to federal funding) which do require states to comply with federal “guidelines” in order to receive federal money. Several of these new laws include “requirements” that the states must enact state laws requiring their licensing agencies to obtain social security numbers. Funding contingent type laws are so relatively new that the U.S. Supreme Court has not ruled on their constitutionality. The U.S. Supreme Court did, however, comment on this very issue in Printz, and the Court indicated that the practice of enacting federal funding contingent laws is as unconstitutional as the direct commands themselves. (More on these type laws can be found below in Part III of this FAQ in the section entitled: NEW FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS.) We can safely conclude that Title 42 U.S. Code, Section 405(c)(2)(C)(i) does not, and cannot impose a requirement that the states must obtain social security numbers from driver’s license applicants.

The next point to consider then is whether there are any federal regulatory requirements which “regulate” the use of social security numbers when a State is “permitted” or “allowed” to obtain them for any purpose.Then we must determine whether or not the “regulatory” law is “inconsistent,” with section 405(c)(2) clause (i).

This brings us to the Privacy Act. The Privacy Act of 1974 By far the most significant Federal law regulating the uses that may be made of social security numbers is the “Privacy Act of 1974” (Pub. L. 93-579, Section 7). The Privacy Act clearly “regulates” the use of social security numbers by federal, state, and local government agencies. Section 7 of the Act states:

”(a)(1) It shall be unlawful for any Federal, State or local government agency to deny to any individual any right, benefit, or privilege provided by law because of such individual’s refusal to disclose his social security account number.

and,

”(b) Any Federal, State, or local government agency which requests an individual to disclose his social security account number shall inform that individual whether that disclosure is mandatory or voluntary, by what statutory or other authority such number is solicited, and what uses will be made of it.”

An adjacent section of the Privacy Act found at 7(a)(2) states:

”(a)(2) [The] provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection shall not apply with respect to… any disclosure which is required by Federal statute…”

As can be seen here, The Privacy Act at Section 7(a)(2) provides an exception to the prohibitive statement in paragraph (1), (the absolute prohibition against any federal, state, or local agency denying to any individual a benefit, right, or privilege due to their refusal to disclose their social security number). The key words used in the exception are found in the phrase “required by federal statute.” As we saw in “Printz,” the federal government cannot enact laws “compelling” (or requiring) a State to obtain SSNs. Which means that federal law cannot “require” a state agency to obtain social security numbers. Therefore, the “exception” found at 7(a)(2) does not, (and cannot), apply to state requests for SSNs.

Title 42 U.S.C. section 405(c)(2)(C)(v) also states:

“(v) If and to the extent that any provision of Federal law heretofore enacted is inconsistent with the policy set forth in clause (i), such provision shall, on and after October 4, 1976, be null, void, and of no effect.”

Paragraph, “(i)” is the permissive clause of Section 405 reviewed earlier which “allows” or “permits” the states to use a social security number for their driver’s licensing programs. There is nothing “inconsistent” with the above interpretation. In fact, any other interpretation would create inconsistencies. Hence, there is nothing “inconsistent” with the federal regulatory provisions of the Privacy Act with regards to the “permissive” clause found in 42 U.S.C. section 405(c)(2)(C)(i). It follows then that while 42 U.S.C. section 405(c)(2)(C)(i) does permit states to use social security numbers in the administration of their driver licensing programs, they must comply with the Privacy Act requirements and prohibitions. Unfortunately, many states are not complying. (It must be assumed that since the SSN is a federally assigned number, federal laws can be used to regulate and restrict its use.)

Are there any penalties for misuse of a person’s social security number by a state agency? In fact, there are.

Title 42 U.S. Code, section 408(a)(8) states:
“[Whoever] discloses, uses, or compels the disclosure of the social security number of any person in violation of the laws of the United States; shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction thereof shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both.”

2.2.2 State Driver’s License Laws:

Some States have enacted State laws requiring social security numbers as a condition for being issued a driver’s license. Some states even use a person’s social security number as the driver’s license number. Most of these states, (but not all), have policies or laws which allow the use of alternative numbers when requested. In either case, when states require a social security number under the authority of state law, they are supposed to be regulated by the requirements and prohibitions contained within the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, Section 7.

Currently, a person living in a state with laws requiring a social security number as a condition to getting a driver’s license may have only one recourse – should they decide to force the issue they may have to file a lawsuit. As of this writing (2/0/99) two such suits are pending on appeal in both California and Alabama. (See “Religious Objections to Social Security Number Requirements” below.)

Of special note: A few states recently passed legislation which actually PROHIBITS the use of social security numbers for purposes related to the issuance of a driver’s licenses. Most notably, Georgia and Louisiana in 1997, both enacted State laws prohibiting their State’s licensing agency from obtaining a SSN from driver’s license applicants.

The answer to the driver’s license question is: No federal law “compels,” “authorizes,” or directly “requires” states to obtain social security numbers from driver’s license applicants. Even if such a federal law did exist – based upon recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions – states would be in violation of fundamental, court adjudicated constitutional principles should they decide to enforce it. All requirements for social security numbers by state government agencies, for any purpose, must comply with the regulatory requirements stipulated in the federal Privacy Act of 1974 prohibiting states from denying any right, benefit, or privilegebecause of an individual’s refusal to disclose his social security account number. Whenever a state does request a SSN it must provide the Privacy Act “notice” identifying: the uses that will be made of the number; whether supplying the SSN is mandatory or voluntary; and, the statutory authority for the request.

2.2.3 Religious Objections to Requirements for a SSN as a Condition for Licensing:

Several people have already won court cases objecting on religious grounds to State requirements for a SSN as a condition to receiving a driver’s license. In “Leahy v. District of Columbia” Circuit Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, (now a U.S. Supreme Court Justice), wrote the Court’s opinion upholding John C. Leahy’s religious objection to providing his social security number in order to get a driver’s license. Also, as recently as October 1997, five plaintiffs sued the City of Los Angeles, on religious objection grounds, objecting to the State’s requirement that driver’s license applicants must provide a social security number as a condition to getting a license. They won the case in the State Superior Court but the State is currently appealing. A similar case is pending in Alabama on appeal.

2.3 QUASI-GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES REQUESTS FOR SSNs

4.Do I have to give banks and non-governmental entities a social security number?
Answer: No (For the purpose of this FAQ, entities such as banks and utility companies are classified as “quasi-governmental” entities. Public schools and universities, banks, utility companies, libraries, and even airlines are also grouped in this class. All of these entities generally provide social services and are typically regulated by federal, state, or local laws. The Postal Service is also classified in this group because they are regulated under the banking laws when issuing postal money orders.)
As publicly regulated entities these “quasi-governmental” entities must also comply with the requirements and prohibitions of the Privacy Act. However, here again, not all of them do. (See “Yeager v. Hackensack under “Social Security Number Related Court Cases” in the FAQ Addendum.) Each “misuse” of a social security number by one of these entities must be challenged on a case-by case basis. This may necessitate a lawsuit.

2.3.1 Banks (Financial Institutions):

Banks may deny service or resist opening an account or transferring funds for an individual who does not provide a social security number when requested. Banks are required by federal regulations to make and file certain reports on the purchase of money orders and other transfers of funds. This requirement is in furtherance of the federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) laws. As of January 16, 1996, Title 31 USC Sec. 5325, Subtitle IV – Chapter 53 – Subchapter II, imposes a requirement upon financial institution for the filling of reports for certain financial transactions.

Title 31 USC Sec. 5325 Section 5325, titled “Identification required to purchase certain monetary instruments” states that:
“(a) No financial institution may issue or sell a bank check, cashier’s check, traveler’s check, or money order to any individual in connection with a transaction or group of such contemporaneous transactions which involves United States coins or currency… in amounts or denominations of $3,000 or more unless the individual has a transaction account with such financial institution… or the individual furnishes the financial institution with such forms of identification as the Secretary of the Treasury may require in regulations…”

The regulations state that banks must request a social security number when establishing a bank account for an individual and from anyone that does not have an established account seeking to obtain “bank checks, cashier’s checks, traveler’s checks, or money orders.” Pursuant to Title 31, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 103.34, banks are required to ask for the Social Security number when opening a bank account or issuing a certificate of deposit for a new customer. But “in the event that a bank has been unable to secure, within the 30-day period specified, the required identification, it shall nevertheless not be deemed to be in violation of this section if (i) it has made a reasonable effort to secure such identification, and (ii) it maintains a list containing the names, addresses, and account numbers ofthose persons from whom it has been unable to secure such identification, and makes the names, addresses, and account numbers of those persons available to the Secretary as directed by him.” This provision applies also to purchases of bank checks, cashier’s checks, traveler’s checks, or money orders without providing a SSN.

Under the federal regulations (with the exception of casinos and the Postal Service) financial institutions are required to file “reports” for all financial transactions in amounts of $10,000.00 or more. And all institutions which issue or sell “bank checks and drafts, cashier’s checks, money orders and traveler’s checks” must file a report on all purchases made by a single person totaling $3,000.00 or more.

The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 31, section 103, states that(as of July 1, 1997):

“Subpart A – Definitions “Sec. 103.11 Meaning of terms.

“(l) Established customer. A person with an account with the financial institution, including a loan account or deposit or other asset account, or a person with respect to which the financial institution has obtained and maintains on file the person’s name and address, as well as taxpayer identification number (e.g., social security or employer identification number) or, if none, alien identification number or passport number and country of issuance, and to which the financial institution provides financial services relying on that information.”
“Subpart B–Reports Required To Be Made “Sec. 103.20 Determination by the Secretary.
“The Secretary hereby determines that the reports required by this subpart have a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax, or regulatory investigations or proceedings.”

“Sec. 103.22 Reports of currency transactions.

“(a)(1) Each financial institution other than a casino or the Postal Service shall file a report of each deposit, withdrawal, exchange of currency or other payment or transfer, by, through, or to such financial institution which involves a transaction in currency of more than $10,000.”

“Sec. 103.28 Identification required (for filing reports).

“Before concluding any transaction with respect to which a report is required under Sec. 103.22, a financial institution shall verify and record the name and address of the individual presenting a transaction, as well as record the identity, account number, and the social security or taxpayer identification number, if any, of any person or entity on whose behalf such transaction is to be effected…”

“Sec. 103.29 Purchases of bank checks and drafts, cashier’s checks,money orders and traveler’s checks.
“(a) No financial institution may issue or sell a bank check or draft, cashier’s check, money order or traveler’s check for $3,000 or more in currency unless it maintains records of the following information: (2) If the purchaser does not have a deposit account with the financial institution: (i)

(A) The name and address of the purchaser; (B) The social security number of the purchaser, or if the purchaser is an alien and does not have a social security number, the alien identification number…”

2.3.2 U.S. Post Office:

The U.S. Postal Service has implemented a policy (again to implement the requirements of the federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) laws) requiring Postal employees to report “suspicious activities” when selling Postal Money Orders. Anyone attempting to purchase a Postal Money Order in amounts over $3,000.00 is requested to provide a SSN which is to be included on their Form 8105A. Anyone who resists or is reluctant about providing their SSN will be reported on Postal Form 8105B. A Money Order purchased without supplying an SSN is considered “suspicious activity” according to the new Postal guidelines.

2.3.3 Universities:

Universities are regulated by the Privacy Act. Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in “Plyler v. Doe”, [457 U.S.202 (1982)] that requiring SSNs from students was discriminatory. The ruling must be enforced “equally,” which means that the prohibition against universities requiring social security numbers from students applies to all students. Most universities still expect students to have and to use an SSN. Some schools will even try to coax new students into filling out an SSN application form, but most schools and universities will accommodate an alternative proposal. And none may deny admittance based on the lack of an SSN.

2.3.4 Airlines:

Title 14 CFR 121.693(e), administered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), requires operators of large aircraft to collect passenger names for each flight. In recent years, air carriers have begun to routinely check identification for every passenger. Currently, there is no requirement that airlines collect, record, or copy information from identification documents.
Section 203 of Public Law 101-604 (49 USC 44909) provides that the Secretary of Transportation shall require all United States air carriers to provide passenger manifests for flights. The statute further notes that the Secretary of Transportation shall consider the necessity and feasibility of requiring United States carriers to collect passenger manifest information as a condition for passenger boarding of any flight subject to the passenger manifest requirements.

On September 9, 1996, Vice President Al Gore submitted an initial report to President Clinton from the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security with recommendations regarding passenger manifests. Recommendation 15 states: The Commission believes that Section 203 of the 1990 Aviation Security Improvement Act, which requires airlines to keep a comprehensive passenger manifest for international flights, should be implemented as quickly as possible. While Section 203 does not apply to domestic flights, the Commission urges the Department of Transportation to explore immediately the costs and effects of a similar requirement on the domestic aviation system. The Final Report of the Congress, issued February 12, 1997, contained the same recommendation.

On March 13, 1997 the Department of Transportation entered an “Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM)(Volume 62, Number 49) for the purpose of requesting information concerning operational and cost issues related to U.S. air carriers collecting basic information (e.g., full name, date of birth and/or social security number, emergency contact and telephone number) from passengers traveling on flights within the United States. This proposal is being issued pursuant to the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act of 1996. As of the date of this writing, the proposed rule which would require airlines to collect SSN from domestic passengers has not been finally adopted. Under present laws and regulations the airlines are not required to get social security numbers from passengers, but policy appears to be trending in that direction.

2.3.5 Utilities:

On June 25, 1985, a group of residential customers filed a complaint against the Hackensack New Jersey water company alleging violations of their constitutionally and statutorily protected privacy rights. Specifically, the plaintiffs claimed that the information sought by the water company, (which included the customer’s social security number), was protected by the Privacy Act of 1974, Pub.L. No. 93-579, section 7. In the final order the court ruled that in this particular case the Privacy Act did regulate the actions of the privately operated water company, Hackensack, to the extent that it functioned under State or Local regulations.

3. PART III NEW FEDERAL FUNDING CONTINGENT REQUIREMENTS

3.1. What new requirements were imposed by the recently enacted federal laws?

Answer: Several. [see below] Although, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in “Printz” that the federal government may not “compel” states to enforce federal regulatory programs, Congress has nevertheless recently engaged in a practice of “strong-arming” the states by threatening to withhold federal funding if the they do not conform to federal funding guidelines. Examples of the federal strong-arm tactics are widespread.

Public Law 104-193 (“The Contract With America, Welfare Reform Act”):

Title 42 U.S. Code, section 666 entitled ” Child Support and Establishment of Paternity” is a prime example of federal “enticement” legislation. This section of federal law was amended by Public Law 104-193, “The Welfare Reform Act of 1996,” and further amended by the “Balanced Budget Act of 1997,” (H.R.2015) so as to now read as follows:

“42 U.S. Code Section 666.

“(a) In order to satisfy section 654(20)(A) [the funding contingentrequirements] of this title, each State must have in effect laws requiring the use of the following procedures…:
“(13) Procedures requiring that the social security number of-

“(A) any applicant for a professional license, driver’s license, occupational license, or marriage license be recorded on the application…”

The above section appears to impose a requirement upon the states to obtain SSNs from applicants for, among other things, driver’s licenses. But, remember that this is a “funding contingent” requirement. And remember also that the Privacy Act regulates the uses that may be made of SSNs by local and state agencies.

Another clause within 42 U.S. Code section 666(a) (as most recently amended by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997) requires that states must have in place: “(16) Procedures under which the State has (and uses in appropriate cases) authority to withhold or suspend, or to restrict the use of driver’s licenses, professional and occupational licenses, and recreational licenses of individuals owing overdue support or failing… to comply with subpoenas or warrants relating to paternity or child support proceedings.”

In order to locate individuals and suspend their licenses, states will typically “key” on social security numbers (since Child Support Enforcement agencies use SSNs in the administration of their payment program).
Section 666 also requires that states must have provisions in place which allow the state’s Child Support Enforcement Agency to attach an individual’s financial holdings. This also is accomplished using an individual’s social security number.
Even private utilities such as, electric, cable television, and phone service providers must make customer records and information available to each state’s Child Support Enforcement agency. This information will be accessed using a customer’s SSN if they have one on file.

Public Law 104-193 also established the “New Hires Directory” – yet another imposition upon the states as a condition to receiving federal funding. Under the New Hires program states must establish and maintain a database directory known as the “State Directory of New Hires.” Each state must enact laws requiring every employer to report each newly hired employee – along with their social security number – to the state’s New Hires Directory.

Public Law 104-208 (Immigration Reform Act):
Another law passed in 1996, Public Law 104-208, imposes an unprecedented “threat” to the states regarding driver’s licenses. Section 656 provides that after October 1, 2000, federal agencies may not accept for any identification-related purpose a driver’s license issued by a state unless the license contains a social security account number that can be read visually or by electronic means. The only exception for this requirement is if the State does not require the license or document to contain a social security account number but requires that: “every applicant for a driver’s license, or identification document, must submit their social security account number; and an agency of the state verifies the number withthe Social Security Administration.” Due to strong public objections, as part of the 1999 budget legislation Congress placed a one-year moratorium on implementation of this provision.

Public Law 104-208 included several new enactments intended to crackdown on illegal immigration and unlawful employment of illegal immigrants. PL104-208 established what’s known as the “Employment Eligibility Confirmation System”.
And, the law provided for the establishment of the “Machine Readable Document” pilot program as part of the Employment Eligibility Confirmation System. The Machine Readable Document pilot program requires that the documents used to confirmemployment eligibility must be machine-readable and must contain the individual’s social security number. Only a few States are presently participating in this pilot program.

3.2 Conclusion Regarding New Federal Funding Requirements for SSNs:

State requirements for SSNs – based on funding contingent federal enactments – are very new. States may take the position that they are not bound by the Privacy Act prohibitions regarding the use of social security numbers because, they will argue: “federal law requires” or “authorizes” them to obtain social security numbers. However, none of the above cited sections of recently enacted federal law constitute “authority” for the states to demand social security numbers. Court challenges will likely be necessary in order to settle the matter regarding these relatively new types of federally implemented “coercion” laws.

4. PART IV ADDENDUM – WHO NEEDS A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

4.1 Assignment of Social Security Numbers:

The section of federal law that addresses issuance and assignment of social security numbers is found at Title 42 U.S. Code, Section 405(c)(B)(i), (Pub. Law 92-603, 86 Stat. 1329, Section 137 of the Social Security Amendments of 1972).
Here, it states that the Commissioner of Social Security is to take affirmative measures to assure that social security account numbers will, “to the maximum extent practicable,” be assigned to all members of the appropriate groups or categories ofindividuals who m ay be assigned numbers.

The law provides that the “appropriate” classes of individual to whom the Commissioner may assign social security numbers are: aliens; individuals who want to receive federal benefits; (including children who fall into either of those two classes); and the children of members of either of those two classes.

Code of Federal Regulations

301.6109-1 “(d) Obtaining a taxpayer identifying number-

“(1) Social security number.”Any individual required to furnish a social security number pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section shall apply for one, if he has not done so previously, on Form SS-5… Individuals who are ineligible for or do not wish to participate in the benefits of the social security program shall nevertheless obtain a social security number if they are required to furnish such a number pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section.

“(2) Employer identification number- [snip] “(3) IRS individual taxpayer identification number-

“(i) Definition.

“The term IRS individual taxpayer identification number means a taxpayer identifying number issued to an alien individual by the Internal Revenue Service, upon application, for use in connection with filing requirements under this title. The term IRS individual taxpayer identification number does not refer to a social security number…”

“(iii)An applicant for an IRS individual taxpayer identification number must submit such documentary evidence as the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe in order to establish alien status and identity.”
Note that individual “Taxpayer Identification Numbers, TINs” may only be issued to “alien individuals” who may not be issued a social security number as you will see below. The application for a “TIN,” the W-7, plainly states on the face and in the instructions that only “aliens” may apply for a TIN.
If you apply for a social security number for yourself or for your child, you must either file under the “alien” status, or otherwise it is assumed that you are, or expect to be, a recipient of some federal benefit.
In fact, if a person not qualified to receive a social security number and nevertheless applies for one, they may in violation of Title 42 U.S. Code Section 408 for falsely claiming eligibility, or Title 18 U.S. Code, section 1028 for misuse of government documents.
Federal Requirements for Social Security Numbers:Applicants for public benefits must have and use a social security number in order to receive the benefit.
Title 42 U.S. Code, Section 405(c)(F) states:
“(F) The Commissioner of Social Security shall require, as a condition for receipt of benefits under this subchapter, that an individual furnish satisfactory proof of a social security account number assigned to such individual by the Commissioner of Social Security or, in the case of an individual to whom no such number has been assigned, that such individual make proper application for assignment of such a number.”

Courts have ruled that in order to receive government benefits from any federally funded benefit program – even if the funds are State administered – a person must use a social security number when applying. In the case of “PEISTER v. STATE of Colorado, DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES,” Peister objected, based on freedom of religion grounds, to using a social security number in order to get Colorado’s Old Age Pension benefits. The court ruled that a person must use their social security number in order to receive benefits under the State’s Old Age Pension Benefits Program.

4.2 Treaties and Social Security

A reference to social security is included in the United Nation’s “UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS” treaty. Article 22 of the treaty declares that: “Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.”

Another treaty, the UN’s “INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS,” Article 24 states:
“2. Every child shall be registered immediately after birth and shall have a name.”
Social Security is Global As a consequence of various international treaties, every industrialized nation has instituted a national “social security” program. Under the GATT agreements, every signatory country is required to “register” (number) all child at birth.

Presently, over 170 countries currently have a social security system in place. The list includes every major country in the world. In terms of population, the world’s 10 largest countries which have a social security system are:

1. China
1,210,000,000
2. India
968,000,000
3. United States
268,000,000
4. Indonesia
210,000,000
5. Brazil
165,000,000
6. Russia
148,000,000
7. Pakistan
132,000,000
8. Japan
126,000,000
9. Bangladesh
125,000,000
10. Nigeria
107,000,000

World’s Largest Jeweler Embraces Augmented Reality

Jan 27, 2012 | Globalist Corporations, Video

DeBeers, the world’s largest jeweler, is letting its customers try on diamonds without ever leaving home.

The company’s new “My Forevermark Fitting” software uses augmented reality to test drive earrings, necklaces, engagement rings and more. All you need is a webcam and a printer.

Once you print out DeBeers’ special marker, the software detects the mark and virtually “places” the selected jewelry on your body using your webcam. The effect is much like looking at yourself in a mirror, only with the big engagment rock you’ve been pining after.

DeBeers is just the latest company to take advantage of augmented reality tech. Do you think this is the next big trend in online shopping — or just a fad?

Wall Street Journal Secrecy

To: "Whalen, Jeanne" <Jeanne.Whalen[at]wsj.com>
From: John Young <jya[at]pipeline.com>
Date: Sun, 22 Aug 2010 12:45 +0600
Subject: RE: from the WSJ

Jeanne,

Following up our telephone exchange on Friday:

1. You said the WSJ editor turned down the use of Rupert Murdoch's
penthouse for an inteview because editorial and business are kept
separate and Murdoch is business. That is hoarily disingenuous for
no media keeps editorial and business separate, the two are
inseparable with business always in control.

2. I said there is no need for me to comment further on Wikileaks, 
the story is now a churn of publicity stunts by Wikileaks, its
supporters and detractors.

3. You said there was interest in reporting on Cryptome in addition
to Wikileaks. I said that is another story, not related to Wikileaks.

To amplify 3, Cryptome shares with Wikileaks and many others
older and newer, the aim of reducing secrecy in government,
business, organizations, institutions and individuals.

Pervasive secrecy corrupts as an essential protector of those who
want control and manipulate the citzenry and subjects. Those who 
advocate secrecy always justify it by claims of threats that require 
secrecy to prevent or fight.

In truth, secrecy protects and empowers those who use it and 
weakens those for whom it is invoked to protect.

Secrecy hides privilege, incompetence and deception of
those who depend on it and who would be disempowered
without it.

The very few legitimate uses of secrecy have served as the
seed for unjustified expanded and illegitimate uses.

A vast global enterprise of governments, institutions, organizations,
businesses and individuals dependent up the secrecy of abuse
of secrecy has evolved into an immensely valuable practice whose
cost to the public and benefits to its practitioners are concealed
by secrecy.

Secrecy has led to a very large undergournd criminal enterprise
dealing with stolen, forged, faked, and planted "secret" information
involving governments, businesses, NGOs, institutions and
individuals. Its value likely exceeds that of the drug trade, with 
which it works in concert to hide assets, procedures and operators
that is keep the secrets in emulation of the secretkeepers.

Ex-secretkeepers are involved in this undergroung enterprise
as beneficiares, informants, facilitators of exchanges with
the agoveground secretkeepers and as spies for hire.

Secrecy is the single most threatening practice against democracy
and democratic procedures such that it is highly likely that there is
no democracy or democratic institutions unsullied by secrecy.

Secrecy poses the greatest threat to the United States because
it divides the poplulation into two groups, those with access to
secret information and those without. This asymmetrial access
to information vital to the United States as a democracy will
eventually turn it into an autocracy run by those with access
to secret informaton, protected by laws written to legitimate
this privileged access and to punish those who violate these
laws.

Those with access to secret information cannot honestly
partake in public discourse due to the requirement to lie
and dissumlate about what is secret information. They can
only speak to one another never in public. Similarly those
without access to secret information cannot fully
debate the issues which affect the nation, including
alleged threats promulagsted by secretkeepers who
are forbidden by law to disclose what they know.

Senator Patrick Moynihan, among others, has explored
the damaging consequences of excessive secrecy. Attempts
to debate these consequences have been suppressed
or distorted by secrecy practices and laws.

Efforts, governmental and private, to diminish secrecy
have had modest effects, and the amount of secret information
continues to grow virtually unchecked and concealed by
the very means questioned, secrecy itself.

These secrecy-reduction efforts are continually being attacked 
by the secrets enterprise by secrecy-wielding oveseers, including 
presidents, legislators and the courts. 

While some of the privileged media challenge these practices, 
most do not and thereby reinforce the unsavory.

It should not be surprising that this leads to an increase in 
efforts to challenge secrecy practices by those excluded, 
including such initiatives as, among many others around
the globe, Cryptome and Wikileaks.

Cryptome disagrees with the use of secrecy by Wikileaks
and its monetization of secret information which mimics
those it ostensibly opposes, say, Rupert Murdoch, among
untold others.

UNITED STATES CODE

Jan 27, 2012 | Globalist Corporations, Taboo Terminology

Title 28 3002 (15)

(A) (B) (C).

The UNITED STATES is a corporation

U.S. Code

3002. Definitions
.
.
(15) “United States” means- a Federal corporation;

Obama is the President of the Corporation, and the citizens are the employees of the corporation

America is a British Colony. (THE UNITED STATES IS A CORPORATION, NOT A LAND MASS AND IT EXISTED BEFORE THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR, AND THE TROOPS DID NOT LEAVE UNTIL 1796.)
Republica v. Sweers 1 Dallas 43, Treaty of Commerce 8 Stat 116, V. New Haven 8 Wheat 464, Treaty of Peace 8 Stat 80, IRS Publication 6209, Articles of Association October 20, 1774

The King of England financially Backed Both Sides fo the Revolutionary war.
(Treaty at Versailles, July 16 1782, Treaty of Peace 8 Stat 80)

The United States Corporation did not declare independence from Great Britain or King George.

In 1604, a corporation called the Virginia Company was formed in anticipation of the iminent influx of white europeans, mostly British at first, into the North American continent. Its main stockholder was King James I, and the original charter for the company was completed by April 10th 1606.

The Virginia Company owned most of the land of what we now call the USA. The Virginia Company (the British Crown and bloodline families) had rights to50% of all gold and silver mined on its lands, plus percentages of other minerals and raw materials, and 5% of all profits from other ventures.

The lands of the Virginia Company were granted to the colonies under a Deed of Trust (on lease) and therefore they could not claim ownership of the land. They couild pass on the perpetual use of the land to thier heirs, but they could never own it. Ownership was retained by the British Crown.

MONSTER: Human Being by birth, but in some part resembling a lower animal. A monster hath no inhertable blood and cannot be heir to any land.

You own no property, slaves can’t own property. Read the Deed to the property that you think is yours. You are listed as Tenant. (Senate Document 43, 73rd Congress 1st Session)

After the first 21 years from the formation fo the Virginia Company, all ‘duties, imposts, and excises’ paid on trading activities in the colonies had to be paid directly to the British Crown through the Crown treasurer.

Queen Elizabeth controls and has amended U.S. Social Security.
(S.I. 1997 NO.1778 The Social Security)

A 1040 form is for tribute paid to Britain. (IRS Publication 6209)

Americans are slaves to the Queen and own absolutely nothing.
(Tillman v.Roberts 108 So. 62, Van Koten v. Van Koten 154 N.E. 146, Senate Document 43 & 73rd Congress 1st Session, Wynehammer v. People 13 NY REP 378, 481)

Social Security is not insurance or a contract, nor is there a Trust Fund.
(Helvering v. Davis 301 US 619, Steward Co. V. Davis 301 US 548.)

The criminal courts on the lands of the Virginia Company were operated under Admiralty Law, the law of the sea, and the civil courts were under Common Law, the law of the land. This is relevant moving forward.

The United States of America is not a country, it is a corporation owned by the same Brotherhood bloodlines who owned the Virginia Company, because the USA is the Virginia Company!

You can not use the Constitution to defend yourself because you are not a party to it.
(Padelford Fay & Co. v. The Mayor and Alderman of The City of Savannah 14 Georgia 438, 520)

“The People” does not include U.S. Citizens.
(Barron v. Mayor & City Council of Baltimore. 32 U.S. 243)

The Act of 1871 also created a separate form of government for the District of Columbia, which is a ten mile square parcel of land, and is governed with British Admiralty Law, U.C.C. “Acts of the Forty-First Congress,” Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and 62. “An Act To Provide A Government for the District of Columbia.”

When Americans Agree to have a social security number the citizens of the united states surrender their sovereighnty and agree to become franchises of the United States (The Virginia Company of th British Crown). Americans are led to believe that there is only one United States and the Federal government is the rightful government.

THE use of lower/upper case, is make a legal statement. Have you noticed that when you recive correspondence relating to the government, law and anything to do with finance, including taxation, your name is always spelt in upper case? Check your Drivers Licsense, Stock Portfolio, Speeding Ticket, etc.

But your upper case name is not you. It is a corporation/trust set up by the ‘government’ Corporation through the treasury department at your birth. Every time a child is born, a trust/corporation is created using his or her namein all upper case.

Law Dictionary:
person
n. 1.) a human being. 2) a corporation treated as having the rights and obligations of a person

natural person
n. a real human being, as distinguished from a corporation, which is often treated at law as a ficticious person.

corporation
n. an organization formed with state governmental approval to act as an artificial person to carry on business (or other activities), which can sue or be sued, and ….

Everything in the “United States” is For Sale: roads, bridges, schools, hospitals, prisons, airports, etc. (Executive Order 12803)

Americans are Human capital. (Executive Order 13037)

The U.S. has two flags, a military flag and a civil flag for peacetime.
(the recognizable flag is the military version)

“MILITARY. Pertaining to the war of to the army; concerned with war.
See Note:
The Amendatory Act to the Trading with the Enemy Act of October 6,1917–namely the Emergency Banking Relief Act of March 9, 1933– defined the American people as the enemy, legally, of the United States Government because of the bankruptcy, through which the private, international FederalReserve System ‘became the Government’ (Creditor of the United States). See ‘Ramifications of the Bankruptcy — The Nature of the Federal Reserve Notes’.

The national flag of the United States always has a gold fringe when displayed in court or federa buildings, and this is also the case in federally funded schools and on the uniforms of US troops. Under the International Law of the Flags, a gold fringe indicates the jurisdiction of the commercial law, also known as the British Maritime Law, and, in the US, as the Uniform Commercial Code, UCC.

Bush launched a ‘war on terrorism’ on behalf of a private corporation to further the goals of that Corporation. It had nothing to do with ‘America’ or ‘Americans’, because these are very different legal entities. It is the United States Corporation that owns the United States military and everything else that comes under the term ‘federal’.

It is not the duty of the U.S. police to protect Americans. Their job is to protect the Corporation and arrest the code breakers.
Sapp v. Tallahasee, 348 So. 2nd. 363, Reiff v. City of Philadelphia, 477 F.Supp 1262, Lynch v. N.C. Dept of Justice 376 S.E 2nd 247.

There are no Judicial courts in America and there has not been since 1789. Judges do not enforce statutes and Codes. Executive Administrators enforce Statutes and Codes.
(FRC v. GE 281 US 464, Keller v. PE 261 US 428, 1 Stat. 138-178)

Sexual Intercourse:
Commerce is a term of the largest import. It comprehends intercourse for the purpose of trade in any and all its forms.

The most powerful court in America is not the United States Supreme Court, but the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. (42 Pa.C.S.A. 502)

Pennsylvania is the keystone state.

The FCC, CIA, FBI, NASA and all the alphabet gangs were never part of the United States government. Even though the “US Government” held shares of stock in the various Agencies. (U.S. V. Strang, 254 US 491, Lewis v. US, 680 F.2d, 1239)

Americans may think that their government and legal system is pegged in some way to the Constitution, but it is not. The United States, like Britain and elsewhere, is ruled by commercial law to overcome the checks and balances of common law. Its another monumental fraud.

Britain is owned by the Vatican. (Treaty of 1213)

The Pope can abolish any law in the United States. (Elements of Ecclesiastical Law Vol. 1 53-54)

The Popes laws are obligatory on everyone. (Bened. XIV., De Syn. Dioec, lib, ix., c. vii.,n. 4. Prati, 1844) (Syllabus, prop 28, 29, 44)

Americans are the cows, the IRS is the company that milks the cows. The UNITED STATES corporation is the Veterinarian who takes care of the herd, and the British Crown is the Owner of all the farm. The farm is held in allodium by the pope.

All this is founded on Roman law, which goes back to the babylon and Sumerian law. The Illuminati bloodlines have been playing thies same game trhoughout the centuries. It was brought into england in 1066 and has been enforced by the Pope, Kings and the Christian churches ever since. It is the total and relentless mind control, people are taught to believe in things that do not exist.

How to Terminate Your Social Security Number

Jan 27, 2012 | Globalist Corporations

I saw this in a bulletin and thought I’d pass it along…

How to Terminate Your Social Security Number

Interesting call to the Social Security Administration

So I’ve been contemplating turning in my social security number, in order to stop being a Federal United States employee, so I called the SSA today just to see what they would say.

SSA: Hello this is Dorothy, how may I help you?

ME: Hello Dorothy, I recently learned that Social Security is a voluntary insurance program, and that I may terminate my SS number at any time and get out of it, my question is, do I get all of my money back that I payed in when I turn in my number?

SSA: (pissy) No

ME: So I’d probably have to file suit for that?

SSA: Probably

ME: one more question, is there a SSA form that I fill out to cancel my number?

SSA: hold on let me check…

(2 minutes)

SSA: sir?

ME: Im here

SSA: we dont have a form for that, you would have to send in a letter and your card.
(much nicer attitude for some reason)

ME: O.K., I was surprised to find out it was voluntary, I always thought it was mandatory to have a number.

SSA: Are you in the United States

ME: do you mean in the United States as defined as the District of Columbia, or do you just mean one of the states?

SSA: one of the states (no hesitation or surprise in her voice)

ME: oh, one of the states

SSA: yeah it actually is mandatory to have one if your not paying into another pension program to the federal or state government.

ME: Oh, you mean if Im a state or Federal Employee?

SSA: Yes

ME: Oh, ok, yeah, I’m not a State or Federal employee, ok, thanks for your time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For anyone else interested in doing so, tthe SSA can be reached at 1-800-772-1213.

Edward, ID Number DELTED, my SSA customer service rep looked into the termination section of their manual to verify the procedure for terminating my social security number.

He gave me the office address and number of my local office and told me to send it in with a letter describing the fact that I wish to terminate my number as it is voluntary.

He asked why I wish to terminate my number and I stated that I wished to stop contibuting to the program voluntarily.

“Well,” he said, “You can just tell your employer to stop withholding the money from your paycheck. That way you can still get the benefits that you have paid into so far.”

I explained to him that I tried to do so with my employer, but my employer believes that he is required to continue withholdings.

He then went on to say that if I did terminate my social security number through the process he described that I would receive a letter stating that I have terminated the number and withholdings can terminate as well.

Brilliant!!!! Absolutely brilliant.
