The idea that depression and other mental health conditions are caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain is so deeply ingrained in our psyche that it seems almost sacrilegious to question it.

Canola Oil – Genetically Modified Poison
Canola is genetically modified rape seed oil – a poison. It is cheap so many manufacturers are turning to it. It’s not easy to find bread made without it. Not that we should be eating bread, just saying.
“Rapeseed oil is poisonous to living things and is an excellent insect repellent. I have been using it (in very diluted form, as per instructions) to kill the aphids on my roses for the last two years. It works very well; it suffocates them. Ask for it at your nursery. Rape is an oil that is used as a lubricant, fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base and as an illuminate for color pages in magazines. It is an industrial oil. It is not a food. Rape oil, it seems, causes emphysema, respiratory distress, anemia, constipation, irritability, and blindness in animals and humans. Rape oil was widely used in animal feeds in England and Europe between 1986 and 1991, when it was thrown out. Remember the “Mad Cow disease” scare, when millions of cattle in the UK were slaughtered in case of infecting humans? Cattle were being fed on a mixture containing material from dead sheep, and sheep suffer from a disease called “scrapie”. It was thought this was how “Mad Cow” began and started to infiltrate the human chain. What is interesting is that when rape oil was removed from animal feed, ‘scrapie’ disappeared. We also haven’t seen any further reports of “Mad Cow” since rape oil was removed from the feed.”

Fox News Reporters Fired For Refusing To Lie To The American People
Editor’s note: This article and video are in reference to a 1997 four-part investigative series on one of Monsanto’s most controversial products, which never aired. The story remains an important lesson in media censorship and how Monsanto wields its high-powered legal division in order to silence the full truth from ever reaching a wide audience.
One of the most puzzling aspects of the GMO experiment in the United States is what’s going on in other nations in comparison to here.
For example, over 30 countries worldwide currently institute some sort of ban on GMO crops, and both Europe and Canada also have banned the bovine growth hormone drug rBGH, which has been the source of great controversy behind the scenes in the United States.
All that controversy reached a breaking point at one local news station in Florida, where two investigative reporters sought out to find the truth about one of Monsanto’s most highly profitable, and highly controversial, products.
The reporters, Steven Wilson and Jane Akre, went to great lengths in order to expose links to cancer and these Monsanto products, crafting a hard-hitting story that could have saved the health of millions of Americans.
But instead of being rewarded for their courage and due diligence, they were subjected to the ultimate betrayal, losing their jobs over what could have been the most ground-breaking health story in decades.
To Whom Do You Listen?
Let me tell you about a little girl who was born into a very poor family in a shack in the backwoods of Tennessee. She was the 20th of 22 children, prematurely born and frail. Her survival was doubtful. When she was 4 years old, she had double pneumonia and scarlet fever-a deadly combination that left her with a paralysed and useless left leg. She had to wear an iron leg brace. Yet she was fortunate in having a mother who encouraged her.
Well, this mother told her little girl, who was very bright, that despite the brace and the leg, she could do whatever she wanted to do with her life. She told her that all she needed to do was to have faith, persistence, courage and an indomitable spirit.
So at nine years of age, the little girl removed the leg brace and took the step the doctors told her she would never take normally. In four years, she developed a rhythmic stride, which was a medical wonder. Then this girl got the notion, the incredible notion that she would like to be the worlds greatest runner. Now, what could she mean — be a runner with a leg like that ?
At age 13, she entered a race. She came in last—–way, way last. She entered every race in high school, and in every race she came in last. Everyone begged her to quit. However, one day, she came in next to last. And then there came a day when she won a race. From then on, Wilma Rudolph won every race she entered.
Wilma went to Tennessee State University, where she met a coach named Ed Temple. Coach Temple saw the indomitable spirit of the girl, that she was a believer and that she had great natural talent. He trained her so well that in 1960 she went to the Olympic Games in Rome. There she was pitted against the greatest female runner of the day, a German girl named Jutta Heine.
Nobody had ever beaten Jutta. But in the 100 metre sprint Wilma Rudolph won. She beat Jutta again in the 200 metres.Wilma had just earned 2 Olympic gold medals. Finally came the 400 metre relay. It would be Wilma against Jutta once again.The first 2 runners on Wilma’s team made perfect handoffs with the baton. But when the 3rd handed the baton to Wilma, she was so excited she dropped it, and Wilma saw Jutta taking off down the track.
It was impossible that anybody could catch this fleet and nimble girl. But Wilma did just that! Wilma Rodolph had earned her 3rd Olympic Gold Medal.That day she made history as she became the first woman ever to win three gold medals in the same Olympic Games. And they said she would never walk again……… !
Do you have someone telling you that you cannot do or achieve something that you really want to do?
Well, who do you believe?
You and The Banks
It’s interesting how things happen. A few days ago I received the below message about what to do to stand against the bank rip offs and not be part of their game. Then today I see on Facebook an ad asking for people to protest the fact that Westpac have just declared their highest ever profit but are crying poor, as well they should with their off-balance-sheet exposure to worthless derivatives and the fact that the government guarantee runs out so the next lot of borrowing without the government guarantee securing it will cost them double the interest that the last lot did.
The following is a strategy laid out by an financial insider who laid out a simple approach that any single person could apply in order to hit back at all the criminal financial activities that we are forced to put up with by using the financial system against them.
Sounds good…..ehhh!
Besides, the obvious, of just moving your money entirely out of the BIG FAT CAT BANKS, into the smaller communal banks, credit unions or similar bank.
This alone sends them a message, but if you have:
A Personal Loan
A home loan
Credit Card
Line of Credit
Car, boat or bike loan etc, etc.
Then there is a simple method of not only hitting the banks where it hurts them the most, their back pockets, but you can save yourself a bunch of money in the process.
Simply put, if each and every person reading this, decided to transfer all their existing loans and credit cards over to a smaller bank or union, such as the local Credit Union and in the process, negotiating a better long term rate with the new bank as most of these banks and credit unions actually want your business and to work with you, then you have not only taken action that will ultimately hurt the big guys, but will benefit you, your family, your local community and the personnel who work at these banks that actually give a crap about their customers.
No BULL.
It actually gets much better for those who have credit cards and are paying the exorbitant interest rates being charged by the BIG BANKS.
The opportunity to discuss a personal loan or some similar loan with the smaller bank is not only welcomed, but with the current campaigns and sentiment against the larger profit driven banks, would play an advantage to you, as once again. The smaller banking institutions are only too eager to get NEW business and are prepared to bend over backwards to get it.
As long as you are able to sit down and speak with the right person at the new bank, and explain to them your discontent with your current financial relationships with the BIG BANKS, and that you are willing to do what it takes to move your business over to XYZ, and in return for doing so, expect to receive better rates and real customer care with REAL service.
LET’s TAKE A CLOSER LOOK:
Current Loans with your bank:
2 x Credit Cards = $15,000.00
Personal Loan = $25,000.00
Car Loan =$10,000.00
Total in loans =$50,000.00
Average Interest rate being paid = 14% or $7,000.00.
Same loans, at a better average interest rate of 12% would see an EXTRA $1,000.00 STAY in your pockets. Work out a better consolidation plan with your new friend at the local bank, and see even higher amounts of CASH stay with you and your family.
For example, roll all your debts into a credit line against your mortgage, and pay only 5,6 or 7 % in interest rates. It really doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the savings you are going to make.
Sure. It is going to take time, and it’s going to be a pain in the back side, but, isn’t that worth sticking to these FAT CATS!
And sticking to them with the only vote that truly matters at the end of the day–by just walking yourself and your money right out of their banks.
And done right, with an overall reduction of interest being paid on your outstanding liabilities, you should see more of your money staying where it truly belongs….in your pockets.
Best of luck. Oh yeah…please help to spread this message to as many of your friends, family and associates.
There has never been a better time, to help the little people hit back at these TOO BIG to FAIL BANKS, and help end the financial crimes being perpetrated upon us all.
For all those under dogs around the globe.
