Some just under pressure that fine line. You want a safe neighborhood without people looking in your windows or they are the rogue cops looking through your windows. If their stepping over those lines and coming back to harass you cuz u were in your home they could probably find out who your were by your address and had no cause like someone of your description was wanted that is BS. You probably went with your instincts they were looking for a fight. Now their probably looking over their shoulder wondering if your gonna do anything about it, do something about it and call internal affairs make a official complaint. If not they will think your neighborhood is their territory not yours. That you no longer trust the instigator walking your territory. You know like those rouge bears.
There is a definite line between right and wrong, maybe I was a wuss. However, I think I proved my point to a wider audience and creating awareness is half the battle even if I had to grind my teeth over it.
There is a reason they wear brown shirts…cause they’re full of $hit.
Well you know that saying in English seize the day. So your not important? Did u at least ask them the reason they asked? When I worked part time at the jail in intake people would tell me they were picked up just because they were homeless. One of the reasons other than looking for warrants. Think laws should be changed if they aren’t bothering anyone they can’t use vagrancy as a excuse to imprison people.
ps if u were in your home didn’t read that earlier get a camera out don’t answer the door. Less they have a warrant they can’t do nothing. That was just a retaliation play. Little brother go get big brother to boss the other kids around. Actually some of these guys esp rookies or no instinct think their on to something so you one in away when he called wolf. Then you can turn around and call internal affairs and make a complaint and since there were others you should all complain less there was drinking and noise complaint or something. I made no complaint because we were both joking around in jestire and the time since I still had the girl with me was used to have her call a relative to get her. These days they do something about that but not then. That brother Karma I guess was killed in a auto accident before the year was out I heard.
However the other 5 adults saw the Nazification I had been flapping about for some time. A light bulb or two went on…
Then they started asking about car parts…
These cops these days branding weapons are looking to end their carrear and or get sued. Depending on how much time in the day you have it cost them time and energy if you don’t tell them your name. Since I had time once after a teen girl ran to my house for protection because her older brother she was living with ” immigrants” was beating her up and I refused to let him take her so the criminal called the cops on me. Then I interferes with injustice giving her a way out going back with him until another relative could take her. They asked me my name and they would answer the reason they were asking so told them it was Mickey Mouse and spelled it out for them. They took me to jail for a few hours to no avail until the girl told them who I was. I just wanted to see how far they’d take it. So some will others just complain then cave in I guess. Guess it’s about how far your willing to take things. In that time they had a better sense of humor though but not to good at protecting women or girls then,
Gata like the gold hues…
Sound travels too well. Long story short, after declining to give the bylaw officer my name, 3 cop cars showed up even as we were going to bed, just to get my name.
Could have been my dissertation on brown shirts but I decided my best fallback position was to avoid the taser.
Nazipalooza
I love how you Yanks can enforce your rights, good onya.
Ya just can’t complain in the next breath about illegal aliens taking your jobs and not paying tax or Obamacare because the border is porous.
Ya Ya, I know it’s not the actual border, where this should be iron clad (or walled).
Go ahead, tear a strip off a socialist Canuck….
I see ISIS as the genisis of the Unholy Trinity (Israel, Saudi, US) to supplant Assad in Syria to gain pipeline access to Europe and lessen Russia’s energy monopoly.
ISIS did the FF gas attack that went sideways (as well as their ISIS concept) for the “West”. Since that didn’t go as planned, a second front to divert Russia was opened in Ukraine, with another FF MH17 shoot down to entrap Russia.
Israel gains by tying into said pipeline with their offshore assets and gets rid of the Shia (Hezbollah) threat in Lebanon, Syria and Iran. They relish Islam fighting against each other. Israel saw how well Catholics and Protestants blew each other up in Ireland.
Saudi (Sunni) gains financially along with Qatar and Bahrain as well as quashing their other arch enemies of Shia belief. They also want to rid their largest petro competitor, Russia through Chechyen proxies…a la 1998 oil crash to kill the ruble.
US, until recent shale oil bonanza, wanted cheap oil (in petrodollar reserve currency) to fund globalization and the MIC. The MIC doesn’t care if oil is cheap or expensive, they just want everyone to spend money killing each other. Oh and they are now the Israeli/Saudi pitbull bitch.
And China just Sun Tzu it all.
Confucius say it comes down to Frenemies
And who is John Galt?
The other 70% Kenyan lives in the white house.
Watch out for that wacky tabaccy my friend. 🙂
So … things are not so rosy in parts of the AG world. Shades of 1932.
Beautiful day here, got out in the garden and did some prep work for the first time this year. Felt good to stretch those muscles out.
No problem with band width. Mercola is the go-to health guy AFAIC.

aint nuthin questionable about ditch weed. Roaches flipped out the window contain a few seeds, and presto, free Pickens of the golden herb!
about the farm commodity thing, some crop rent places will continue to be farmed. The high cash rent in the corn belt is another matter altogether. If the new corn and bean crops aren’t hedged, they won’t be planted. Margins are razor thin in farming and nobody is going to intentionally bankrupt themselves. They will take their chances in court.
had to put another log on the fire today. At least this storm didn’t start with freezing rain. Lot of schools closed tomorrow.

I’d say it’s worth the bandwidth to post since health is more important than …..silverngold
Dear friends,
Dr. Joseph Mercola is one of the best informed and most popular doctors on the Internet. His many tips for better health have helped to improve the lives of literally millions of people. Dr. Mercola is also one of the few nationally recognized doctors who is aware of the major manipulations going on behind the scenes in the health industry and in other key areas covered by WantToKnow.info.
Dr. Mercola’s website, Mercola.com, is one of the ten most visited health websites on the Internet with a daily email newsletter that now goes out to over two million subscribers, including 40,000 health care professionals.
The below list of 10 medical myths compiled by Dr. Mercola not only gives invaluable tips for better health, it shows how the health care industry has failed to inform us of key matters which impact our lives and world on a daily basis.
If you are not aware of one or more of these key health topics, it might serve you well to learn more by following the links provided. The “What you can do” box at the bottom of the article also has additional better health tips and ideas on how to spread the word and further inform yourself.
With best wishes for a healthy world,

10 Medical Myths Even Most Doctors Believe
By Dr. Mercola of www.mercola.com (Edited for brevity)
CNN has published a list of the “truth about twelve ‘health myths'”. Among the myths this article busts? “If you cross your eyes, they’ll stay that way.” “Eat the crust of your bread because it’s full of antioxidants,” and, “to get rid of hiccups, have someone startle you.”
There is a massive amount of medical misinformation circulating now, which is causing an epidemic of chronic disease unprecedented in human history. With all the medical misinformation we’re exposed to on a daily basis, it’s disappointing to see CNN waste time and space on yet another entertainment-style fluff piece, discussing “health myths” that have no real bearing on your health.
Below I review 10 real health myths that CNN didn’t bother to mention, even though these are the cause of a lot of unnecessary suffering and premature death. Because there is no shortage of real health myths that can, and do, have a massive impact on tens of thousands if not millions of people. Here is my list of the top 10 health myths, none of which CNN bothered to mention:
1: Cardio is the Best Type of Exercise
In recent years, researchers have begun to realize that conventional cardio, such as jogging, is not all it’s been cracked up to be, and that you can actually improve your health and increase fat burning by making slight modifications to your cardio routine.
The problem is that traditional cardio only works on the slow twitch muscle fibers in your red muscle, completely ignoring your white muscle super-fast twitch fibers.“Peak 8” refers to peak exercises done once or twice a week, in which you raise your heart rate up to your anaerobic threshold for 20 to 30 seconds, followed by a 90-second recovery period. To perform these properly you will want to get very close to, if not exceed, your maximum heart rate by the last interval. Your maximum heart rate is calculated as 220 minus your age.
Researchers have found that interval cardio produces a unique metabolic response that is in large part responsible for its superior benefits. Intermittent sprinting produces high levels of chemical compounds called catecholamines, which allow more fat to be burned from under your skin and within your muscles. The resulting increase in fat oxidation is thought to drive the increased weight loss.
It is also the only type of exercise that will increase growth hormone levels. This becomes especially important after the age of 30, when growth hormones steadily decline. It is much safer and far less expensive to have your body make growth hormone naturally though Peak 8 type exercises than to inject it like many athletes do to the tune of $1500 per month.
2: Vaccines are Safe and Effective and Prevent Disease
I completely understand that for many this issue is not debatable as they believe that vaccines are one of the greatest gifts to public health in the history of civilization. If you believe that, then let me encourage you to open your mind and explore other views held by many well respected physicians, scientists, clinicians and pro-vaccine safety educators. You might want to review the article Read This Before Vaccinating for Anything, to help you start your exploration process.
When it comes to vaccines, there are three primary questions that need to be considered.
- First, is the vaccine in question safe?
- Secondly, does it effectively prevent disease?
- And third, which vaccines can safely and effectively be given together or in close succession?
Unfortunately, these issues have not been sufficiently studied for most vaccines, and those vaccines that have been studied frequently show that they are either unsafe, ineffective, or both!
When several vaccines are administered together, or in close succession, their interaction may completely overwhelm your child’s developing immune system.Now consider that if your child is vaccinated according to the CDC’s recommended schedule, by the time your child starts kindergarten he or she will have received 48 doses of 14 vaccines. Of these, 36 doses will be given during the first 18 months of life – a time when your child’s body and brain is undergoing massive development!
Public health officials have NEVER proven that it is indeed safe to inject this volume of vaccines into infants. What’s more, they cannot explain why, concurrent with an increasing number of vaccinations, there has been an explosion of neurological and immune system disorders in American children.
This issue covers so much ground, it’s impossible to even try to summarize the many hazards and the lack of efficiency data for all the vaccines currently being given, in this article.

3: Fluoride in Your Water Lowers Your Risk of Cavities
The theory behind the introduction of fluoride in your water supply initially seems beneficial – to reduce the incidence of dental caries in children. However, the health dangers of fluoride are so numerous; they far outweigh any benefit to your teeth, and that’s IF water fluoridation actually did what it’s claimed to do.
Today, even promoters of fluoridation concede that the major benefits are only fromtopical applications; fluoride works from the outside of the tooth, not from inside of your body, so why swallow it? Statistics tell us that water fluoridation is ineffective for preventing caries. There is practically no difference in tooth decay between fluoridated and non-fluoridated countries, and no difference between states that have a high- or low percentage of their water fluoridated.
Meanwhile, fluoride can cause significant harm, from dental fluorosis to thyroid damage to reduced IQ and much more. I’ve joined forces with the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) to help end water fluoridation poisoning in Canada and the United States.
For more about the dangers of fluoride, and information about how to get involved in this campaign, please see this recent article, which also includes an excellent interview with Dr. Paul Connett, who created FAN and is one of the foremost experts on this topic.[Better health tip: For an MSNBC/Reuters article revealing scientific skepticism on the benefits of fluoridated water, click here.]
4: GMO Crops are Safe, Well Tested and Economically Beneficial
GMOs may be the greatest health disaster in the American diet. Within 9 years of their introduction in 1996, multiple chronic illnesses jumped from 7 percent to 13 percent of the population, food allergies doubled in less time, and many other ailments have exponentially increased with the introduction of GM foods.
Millions may already be suffering health problems caused by genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in their diet. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine has already urged doctors to prescribe non-GMO diets for all patients, citing studies that show how GMOs cause disorders such as vital organ damage, gastrointestinal and immune system problems, accelerated aging, infertility, and dysfunctional regulation of insulin and cholesterol.
But not only are GM foods a health disaster, they also pose a significant environmental threat, and industry promises of financial benefits have turned out to be false as well.
For a quick introduction, I recommend reading the article 10 Reasons to Avoid Genetically Modified Foods, which delves into everything from the health problems associated with eating GM foods to the evidence against GM crops as a sustainable, economically and environmentally viable alternative to traditional farming. [Better health tip: For major media articles showing these dangers, click here. A powerful essay on the science of GMOs isavailable here and excellent documentary can be found here.]
5: Sun Causes Skin Cancer
There are many misconceptions about melanoma – the most dangerous type of skin cancer that accounts for more than 75 percent of skin cancer deaths. But despite all the bad press linking sun exposure to skin cancer, there’s almost no evidence at all to support that stance. There is, however, plenty of evidence to the contrary.
Over the years, several studies have already confirmed that appropriate sun exposure actually helps prevent skin cancer. In fact, melanoma occurrence has been found to decrease with greater sun exposure, and can be increased by sunscreens. In my interview with vitamin D expert Dr. Robert Heaney, he explains how the conventional recommendations are in fact causing the very health problem they claim to prevent.
How does sunlight prevent, rather than cause, skin cancer? In short, it’s the vitamin D formed in your skin from exposure to sunlight that provides this built in cancer protection. The vitamin D goes directly to genes in your skin that help prevent the types of abnormalities that ultraviolet light causes. Unfortunately, if you follow the conventional recommendation to avoid sun exposure or always use sunscreen, your skin will not make any vitamin D, leaving you without this built-in cancer protection.
Statistics confirm the truth of these findings, as melanoma rates have increased right along with sun avoidance and increased use of sunscreens. If avoiding the sun actuallywas the answer, then melanoma rates should have decreased exponentially over the past couple of decades. Instead, sun avoidance and the excessive use of sun screen are actually the two primary reasons for the rise in melanoma.

6: Saturated Fat Causes Heart Disease
As recently as 2002, the “expert” Food & Nutrition Board issued the following misguided statement, which epitomizes this myth:
“Saturated fats and dietary cholesterol have no known beneficial role in preventing chronic disease and are not required at any level in the diet.”
This dangerous recommendation, which arose from an unproven hypothesis from the mid-1950s, has been harming your health and that of your loved ones for about 40 years now.
The truth is, saturated fats from animal and vegetable sources provide the building blocks for cell membranes and a variety of hormones and hormone-like substances, without which your body cannot function optimally. They also act as carriers for important fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Dietary fats are also needed for the conversion of carotene to vitamin A, for mineral absorption, and for a host of other biological processes.
In fact, saturated is the preferred fuel for your heart! For more information about saturated fats and the essential role they play in maintaining your health, please read my previous article The Truth About Saturated Fat.
7: Artificial Sweeteners are Safe, Well Tested and Promote Weight Loss
Most people use artificial sweeteners to lose weight. The amazing irony is that nearly all the studies that have carefully analyzed their effectiveness show that those who use artificial sweeteners actually gain more weight than those who consume caloric sweeteners.
In 2005, data gathered from the 25-year long San Antonio Heart Study showed that drinking diet soft drinks increased the likelihood of serious weight gain – far more so than regular soda. On average, each diet soft drink the participants consumed per day increased their risk of becoming overweight by 65 percent within the next seven to eight years, and made them 41 percent more likely to become obese.
The reasons for this ironic reality are still being investigated, but there are several potential causes, including:
- Sweet taste alone appears to increase hunger, regardless of caloric content.
- Artificial sweeteners appear to simply perpetuate a craving for sweets, and overall sugar consumption is therefore not reduced—leading to further problems controlling your weight.
- Artificial sweeteners may disrupt your body’s natural ability to “count calories,” as evidenced in studies such as this 2004 study at Purdue University, which found that rats fed artificially sweetened liquids ate more high-calorie food than rats fed high-caloric sweetened liquids.
There are also a large number of health dangers associated with artificial sweeteners and aspartame in particular. I’ve started compiling a growing list of studies pertaining to health problems associated with aspartame, which you can find here. If you’re still on the fence, I highly recommend reviewing these studies for yourself so that you can make an educated decision. [Better health tip: For an incredibly revealing, carefully researched documentary on the dangers of artificial sweeteners, click here.]
8: Soy is a Health Food
The meteoric rise of soy as a “health food” is a perfect example of how a brilliant marketing strategy can fool millions. But make no mistake about it, unfermented soy products are NOT healthful additions to your diet. If you find this recommendation startling then I would encourage you to review my Why Soy Can Damage Your Health, which contains links to dozens of articles on the topic, and a video I recently did.
On the contrary, thousands of studies have linked unfermented soy to malnutrition, digestive distress, immune-system breakdown, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders and infertility—even cancer and heart disease. Not only that, but more than 90 percent of American soy crops are genetically modified, which carries its own set of health risks.
Here is a sampling of the detrimental health effects that have been linked to soy consumption:
- Breast cancer
- Brain damage
- Infant abnormalities
- Thyroid disorders
- Kidney stones
- Immune system impairment
- Severe, potentially fatal food allergies
- Impaired fertility
- Danger during pregnancy and nursing
I am not opposed to all soy, however. Organic and, most importantly, properly fermentedsoy does have great health benefits. Examples of such healthful fermented soy products include tempeh, miso and natto. [Better health tip: For a powerful essay on the dangers of genetically modified soy and other foods, click here.]
9: Whole Grains are Good for Everyone
The use of whole-grains is an easy subject to get confused on especially for those who have a passion for nutrition, as for the longest time we were told the fiber in whole grains is highly beneficial. Unfortunately all grains, including whole-grain and organic varieties, can elevate your insulin levels, which can increase your risk of disease.
It has been my experience that more than 85 percent of Americans have trouble controlling their insulin levels — especially those who have the following conditions:
- Overweight
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Protein metabolic types
In addition, sub-clinical gluten intolerance is far more common than you might think, which can also wreak havoc with your health.
As a general rule, I strongly recommend eliminating grains as well as sugars from your diet, especially if you have any of the above conditions that are related to insulin resistance. The higher your insulin levels and the more prominent your signs of insulin overload are, the more ambitious your grain elimination needs to be.
If you are one of the fortunate ones without insulin resistance and of normal body weight, then grains are fine, especially whole grains. It is wise to continue to monitor your grain consumption and your health as life is dynamic and constantly changing. What might be fine when you are 25 or 30 could become a major problem at 40 when your growth hormone and level of exercise is different.
10: Low-Fat Diets are Healthy
The low-fat myth may have done more harm to the health of millions than any other dietary recommendation. Again, just as the recommendations to avoid sunshine has increased melanoma rates, the low-fat craze led to increased consumption of trans-fats, which we now know increases your risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. To end the confusion, it’s very important to realize that eating fat will not make you fat!
The primary cause of excess weight and all the chronic diseases associated with it, is actually the consumption of too much sugar — especially fructose, but also all sorts of grains, which rapidly convert to sugar in your body. If only the low-fat craze had been a low-sugar craze, then we wouldn’t have nearly as much chronic disease as we have today.
For an explanation of why and how a low-fat diet can create the very health problems it’s claimed to prevent, please see this article. [Better health tip: For an informativeWashington Post article on this subject, click here.]
Final Thoughts
As you can see, there’s no shortage of health myths out there. The myths reviewed above are but a sampling, because there are still many more. As opposed to the nonsense offered in the CNN article above, these health topics are all essential to get “right” if you want to protect your health, and the health of your loved ones.
“And lastly, referring to how the jihadist group is using social media and Internet to spread its propaganda and recruit new fighters, Tarpley said there is an interest in not having the Islamic State propaganda shut down online. All major Internet companies are based in the United States and therefore the White House could easily limit, if not close down, the presence of Islamic State on the Internet, if it wanted to.”
“Second, Turkey, a NATO member with a huge army, is right next to the war-town Syria and Iraq, where the jihadists operate. Tarpley asks the important question: why cannot the Turkish Army come into the lawless Syrian and Iraqi territory and simply wipe the jihadists off the face of the Earth in a matter of weeks, especially if the United States and NATO were so keen to destroy the Islamic State?”
Seems to me the reason would be that Turkey doesn’t want to get in a nasty war with a bunch of crazy jihadis who well might destabilize Turkey itself. That’s not hard to understand.
US historian Webster Tarpley says that the United States created the Islamic State and uses jihadists as its secret army to destabilize the Middle East.
The Islamic State is a secret army of the United States and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a leader of the terrorist group, is a close friend of US Senator John McCain, says US historian Webster Tarpley, according to Iranian News Agency IRNA.
The author, known for his book “9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA”, said that all terrorism around the world is created and facilitated by the US government.
These are not Tarpley’s first comments in which he blames the United States for creating the Islamic State. Earlier, Press TV had an interview with Tarpley during which he explained his rationale why he thinks the United States was behind the creation of the terrorist group.
Tarpley began by saying that the money that supports the Islamic State and its operations comes from Saudi Arabia, a key US ally in the Middle East. The main money donor of the Islamic State is allegedly Prince Abdul Rahman al-Faisal, the brother of Saud bin Faisal Al Saud, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister, and Prince Turki bin Faisal Al Saud, the former Saudi Ambassador to the United States. Having said that, Tarpley concludes that if the United States really wanted to get rid of the Islamic State, it would have easily issued an ultimatum to Saudi Arabia and told the Gulf Kingdom to stop sending arms and money to the terrorists in Iraq and Syria.
Second, Turkey, a NATO member with a huge army, is right next to the war-town Syria and Iraq, where the jihadists operate. Tarpley asks the important question: why cannot the Turkish Army come into the lawless Syrian and Iraqi territory and simply wipe the jihadists off the face of the Earth in a matter of weeks, especially if the United States and NATO were so keen to destroy the Islamic State?
If the United States actually thought that the Islamic State was a monstrosity that must be destroyed at all cost, Tarpley asks why wouldn’t the White House join the government of Bashar Assad in Syria, the legally recognized government and the UN member state, in the fight against the jihadists and crush them once and for all? And also, why did the US troops bomb Syrian units loyal to Assad, once the Syrian army started to defeat the jihadists and push them away? Counterproductive and senseless at best, the secret supporter of the militants at worst, Tarpley says.
And lastly, referring to how the jihadist group is using social media and Internet to spread its propaganda and recruit new fighters, Tarpley said there is an interest in not having the Islamic State propaganda shut down online. All major Internet companies are based in the United States and therefore the White House could easily limit, if not close down, the presence of Islamic State on the Internet, if it wanted to.
Although Tarpley’s line of thinking might seem a little too provocative to some, the questions that he asks are nonetheless important. There is certainly a connection between the emergence of al-Qaeda and the American involvement in Afghanistan back in the 1980s. And since al-Qaeda was a forefather of the Islamic State, there might be a possibility of a more intimate relationship between the government of the United States and the jihadists, currently cutting people’s heads off in Iraq and Syria.
