I just saw a video by Will Smith that I really liked!
How Crooked Is The System? This Crooked
If you could cheat the government out of tens of billions of dollars and get fined $200 million and not have to make restitution for the money you bilked, how likely would you be to do it again? (Given that you were crooked enough to do it in the first place.)

Aspartame Is A Crime
Take heed folks! Avoid any food that has artificial sweeteners in it.
Would You Like Some Food With Your Toxins?
Canada has gone where the FDA fears to tread, testing commonly consumed foods for glyphosphate residues from Monsanto’s Roundup weedkiller – and the results are literally sickening.
The Canadian Food Inspection agency reports that glyphosphate, the carcinogenic key ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, was found in 29.7 percent of 3,188 foods tested in the last two years.

If you are not eating organic, please start getting some detoxifying ingredients into your diet! Or regularly doing a detox program. The detoxifying ingredients I have in my bars and powders are listed here: http://www.healthelicious.com.au/Nutri-Blast-Detox-Blend.html
The Effect of Aspartame On Your Brain
Lower memory, cognitive ability and increased depression.
Please avoid this neurotoxin like the plague it is!
The controversy surrounding the neurological effects of aspartame began in the 1980s. At first, concern was limited to those with preexisting mental illness. An early study at Case Western Reserve University was halted prematurely for safety reasons because subjects with a history of depression appeared to be experiencing such severe reactions to the sweetener. The researchers concluded that “individuals with mood disorders are particularly sensitive to this artificial sweetener and its use in this population should be discouraged.”
Doctors Name Monsanto’s Larvicide As Cause of Brazilian Microcephaly Outbreak
The arch criminals of the “profit at any cost, even if it means we have to toxify the food and environment” game are found to be guilty again!
A report from the Argentine doctors’ organisation, Physicians in the Crop-Sprayed Towns,[1] challenges the theory that the Zika virus epidemic in Brazil is the cause of the increase in the birth defect microcephaly among newborns.
The increase in this birth defect, in which the baby is born with an abnormally small head and often has brain damage, was quickly linked to the Zika virus by the Brazilian Ministry of Health. However, according to the Physicians in the Crop-Sprayed Towns, the Ministry failed to recognise that in the area where most sick people live, a chemical larvicide that produces malformations in mosquitoes was introduced into the drinking water supply in 2014. This poison, Pyriproxyfen, is used in a State-controlled programme aimed at eradicating disease-carrying mosquitoes.
The Physicians added that the Pyriproxyfen is manufactured by Sumimoto Chemical, a Japanese subsidiary of Monsanto. Pyriproxyfen is a growth inhibitor of mosquito larvae, which alters the development process from larva to pupa to adult, thus generating malformations in developing mosquitoes and killing or disabling them. It acts as an insect juvenile hormone or juvenoid, and has the effect of inhibiting the development of adult insect characteristics (for example, wings and mature external genitalia) and reproductive development. It is an endocrine disruptor and is teratogenic (causes birth defects).
The Argentine Physicians commented: “Malformations detected in thousands of children from pregnant women living in areas where the Brazilian state added Pyriproxyfen to drinking water are not a coincidence, even though the Ministry of Health places a direct blame on the Zika virus for this damage.”
They also noted that Zika has traditionally been held to be a relatively benign disease that has never before been associated with birth defects, even in areas where it infects 75% of the population.
Larvicide the most likely culprit in birth defects
Pyriproxyfen is a relatively new introduction to the Brazilian environment; the microcephaly increase is a relatively new phenomenon. So the larvicide seems a plausible causative factor in microcephaly – far more so than GM mosquitoes, which some have blamed for the Zika epidemic and thus for the birth defects. There is no sound evidence to support the notion promoted by some sources that GM mosquitoes can cause Zika, which in turn can cause microcephaly. In fact, out of 404 confirmed microcephaly cases in Brazil, only 17% tested positive for the Zika virus.

Wouldn’t this be wonderful?
88 percent of Mayo Clinic referrals for 2nd opinion get new diagnosis
Now THIS is interesting data I did not have.
Many patients come to Mayo Clinic for a second opinion or diagnosis confirmation before treatment for a complex condition. In a new study, Mayo Clinic reports that as many as 88 percent of those patients go home with a new or refined diagnosis – changing their care plan and potentially their lives. Conversely, only 12 percent receive confirmation that the original diagnosis was complete and correct.

Are You Dancing With The Devil?
This could be interpreted in several ways. If you are a toxic relationship you might perceive the devil to be your partner. If you are unhappy at work you may regard your boss as the devil. If you are not enjoying sensational energy and health, might I suggest you look at your diet and lifestyle as being the devil in your life. Most people dance too long with the devil of a standard diet, toxic overload and inactive lifestyle. Read my book and learn how to dance with a better partner than the devil!

PR and Marketing Lesons
Great read from Susie and a fascinating look at the manipulative shenanigans behind the scenes.
Where on Earth did ethics and doing the right thing go?
Were they ever there?
Is an ethical society a new thing we need to b ring into being?
I’m thinking so.
From Susie…
Now, whatever your opinions on Trump, this is a very interesting video to watch – and to understand… See, by trade I am a graphic designer and as a part of my degree, I’ve studied marketing and the history of marketing. Later, working as a designer and senior designer for industries like health (The Cancer Council), media (Foxtel), finances (MLC) and the government (departments of Health, Eductation and Fair Trading), I have often observed and applied various marketing tactics to achieve a certain outcome – a desired effect to benefit my client.
This is where a designer’s true value lies – not in making pretty pictures but in projecting ideas, in creating desire, manipulating the reality. It’s important to understand this because our society today is entirely run on marketing. ENTIRELY. Whatever you think your thoughts are on ANY given subject, it is important to understand that someone, somewhere GOT PAID to come up with an idea, a viewpoint, a desire, and that huge campaigns have been crafted to get the public to agree or disagree with these ideas.
Mind-boggling but true, and you can see it done in EVERYTHING, good or bad: politics, foods, immigration, vaccine-safety, health foods, medicine, even general ideas…
Do you know, for instance, that the whole idea of babies sleeping away from their mothers only came about (read: was artificially created and promoted) in the last century, in conjunction with the industrial revolution and the businesses of war, when the traditional family model was shattered and both men and women were needed in the workforce? For thousands of years babies have slept with their mothers but since mothers now were needed elsewhere, a method was created to detatch them from their children at an early age (and children from their mothers), promoting co-sleeping unsafe and old-fashioned…
This is around the same time formula was being pushed as superior to breast milk and the crying-it-out method was introduced – these were all deliberate ideas, created for a specific purpose, and then huge campaigns were created and experts paid for to lend their support. CRAZY!!
This video is quite informative on how some of these tactics work, and marketing is not only used for products.
When I did my degree, one of my lecturers introduced this subject to us by stating that in the state of war, WE – the designers (together the other creative professions) – would be the first ones to be targeted and killed off. Because we UNDERSTAND how masses are manipulated, because WE CAN manipulate the masses, because WE ARE TOO DANGEROUS. So this knowledge is dangerous… But so, so VITAL in this world!!
You have to be able to see through propaganda, you absolutely must keep looking for information yourself and draw your own conclusions based on what you find – everything today is rigged; in this capitalistic society, you can bet your life on that EVERY SINGLE VIEWPOINT being pushed is a paid-for marketing campaign. Marketing is the science on how to make people like or dislike something. Look, like most people I know I have been disgusted at how on earth Trump got into this position – yet now, having watched this video, I recognise soooo many things that we have been fed already based on these smearing campaigns… Maybe he is not such a bad guy after all? What is the truth? Who knows…
“Fake news” is absolutely real but who is spreading them?? We really need to be aware and awake and not just blindly follow what we are being fed. Question everything!!
Live as best as you can and don’t go crucifying others for their decisions – either they are being unawarely manipulated or they have woken up and done their own research – in any case, our compassion and understanding toward one another needs to be much stronger than the drive for money!!
Peace & Love.
Off my soapbox now…
