Sunscreen chemicals are not good for you

Oxybenzone - dangerous!





Free Radical Generators and Gender-Bending Estrogenic Chemicals





For decades, irresponsible cosmetic companies and a small group of very vocal, publicity-seeking dermatologists have strongly advocated that chemical sunscreens should be heavily applied before any exposure to sunlight, even on young children. They insisted that such sunscreen use would prevent skin cancer and protect your health. This was despite of a lack of any adequate safety testing of these chemicals. (It should be emphasized that most dermatologists are much more cautious and careful.)



On the other hand, over the past decade, many scientists studying cancer have come to virtually the opposite conclusion; that is, the use of sunscreen chemicals may be increasing the incidence of cancer and that sunlight exposure may actually decrease human cancer rates and improve your health.



It now appears that many heavily-used chemical sunscreens may actually increase cancers by virtue of their free radical generating properties. And more insidiously, many commonly used sunscreen chemicals have strong estrogenic actions that may cause serious problems in sexual development and adult sexual function, and may further increase cancer risks.



It is not that these compounds were ever viewed as benign substances. Organic chemists have been long aware of the dangers of compounds in chemical sunscreens. Such chemicals are widely used to start free radical reactions during chemical synthesis. These chemicals are the dangerous types that one carefully keeps away from your skin while working in a laboratory. To use them, you mix them into a combination of other chemicals, then flash the mixture with an ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet absorbing chemicals then generate copious amounts of free radicals that initiated the desired chemical reactions.



Despite the medical establishment's near unanimity on the issue of sunlight exposure, on other health issues in the past, serious errors been promoted to the public.



1. In 1927, 12,745 physicians endorsed smoking Lucky Strike cigarettes as a healthful activity. In the 1940s and 1950s, thousands of prominent surgeons were used in national cigarette advertisements to reassure the public about the safety of cigarette smoking.



2. In the 1950's, lobotomies were promoted for mental disorders and produced near-totally dysfunctional people.



3. In the 1960's and 1970's, diets high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fats and partially hydrogenated fatty acids such as safflower oil and margarine were recommended to reduce heart disease. However, long term studies found that, while such diets decreased heart disease, they increased the total death rate and the cancer rate and produced accelerated aging.

Chemical sunscreens have three primary defects: 1

They are powerful free radical generators.

Their free radical generation increases cellular damage and changes that lead to cancer.

Psoralen - such a compound that is used to treat psoriasis increases skin cancer rates 83-fold.

2

They often have strong estrogenic activity.

Estrogenic - "Gender Bending" - chemicals interfere with normal sexual development -

Engendering a host of secondary medical problems - see more below.

3

They are synthetic chemicals that are alien to the human body and accumulate in body fat stores.

The human body is well adapted to de-toxify biologicals that it has been exposed to over tens of millions of years. But it has often has difficulty removing new and non-biological compounds such DDT, Dioxin, PCBs, and chemical sunscreens.



Chemical Sunscreens Include:



Benzophenones (dixoybenzone, oxybenzone)



PABA and PABA esters (ethyl dihydroxy propyl PAB, glyceryl PABA, p-aminobenzoic acid, padimate-O or octyl dimethyl PABA)



Cinnamates (cinoxate, ethylhexyl p-methoxycinnamate, octocrylene, octyl methoxycinnamate)



Salicylates (ethylhexyl salicylate, homosalate, octyl salicylate)



Digalloyl trioleate



Menthyl anthranilate



Avobenzone [butyl-methyoxydibenzoylmethane; Parsol 1789] - This is the only chemical sunscreen currently allowed by the European Community. However, its safety is still questionable since it easily penetrates the skin and is a strong free radical generator.

I really don't like drama, and generally I can stay away from it. Some how I ended up in some, though not a huge amount, just enough to really piss me off at the moment. Excuse my rant, I just needed to get it out and typing is faster than writing in journal.





Well I tried to help out an aquaintance and he turned out to be a shit. I am wondering, "Now how the hell did that happen?".



KailendoReturns wrote me last night and was sad. I asked him what was wrong and he told me about being forcefully inducted and blinded in a certain Coven. I don't know the whole story. He told me but I don't really recall, just the gest.



So I wrote the Coven Master chick and asked for a favor of releasing him to me so that I could send him to the Coven of his choice. She did. I thanked her.



So KailendoReturns tells me that he would like to be released and I remind him that he could be snatched up by another Coven if he didn't let me send him directly over to the Coven of his choice. I told him several times what could happen. He didn't seem to care of my warnings and so I released him. That was earlier this evening.



I get here tonight and I get a message from him.

A sad loss ...



ET breaks the news that comedian George Carlin has died from heart failure. The man who made famous the "seven words you can never say on television" passed away at 5:55 p.m. Sunday at Saint John's Hospital in Santa Monica, his longtime publicist said. He was 71.



Carlin, who has had several heart attacks and a history of cardiac issues, went into the hospital this afternoon after complaining of heart problems.



Carlin has more than 20 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, numerous TV and movie roles, and three best-selling books to his credit. Last year, he celebrated his 50th year in show business, and he had just finished his last HBO special in March, "It's Bad for Ya."

8 ways illegal immigrants are making you sick
04:30 Jun 22 2008
Times Read: 969

"I’ll be the first one to step up and get a tear in my eye about huddled masses yearning to



breathe free and live “the American Dream” in this “Land of Opportunity.” But the cold fact is



that today, too many people go around the system and sneak into America from countries with



markedly lower and even non-existent health standards. But these people are bringing more than



just cheap labor with them… In some of these countries—Mexico included—diseases that you



only read about in Victorian novels (cholera, TB, typhoid, and even plague) are daily occurrences.



It’s no coincidence that all of these diseases are now on the rise right here in the U.S.



That’s right: Diseases we did away with long ago are “mysteriously” beginning to reemerge.



These are the same diseases that terrorized Americans for hundreds of years. Maybe it’s been too



long for everyone to remember what it was like when people lived in constant fear of diseases



like these. Surely if they remembered, alarm bells would be sounding loud and clear—and people



wouldn’t worry so much about the need for cheap labor, and the fear of being perceived as racist.



What a load of bull.



You can call me a racist all you want, but if turning a blind eye to (or heaven forbid, welcoming



with open arms) these illegals means opening up my children’s children to these awful diseases,



you can forget it. I won’t stand for what these moochers are doing to our land, our schoolrooms



or our hospitals—and neither should you.



And keep in mind that coming into our country LEGALLY means you’ve been screened for



these diseases. It’s those that ignore the system and make their own rules that are putting us at risk.



Allow me to put some names to these faces of disease. I just hope that you never have to meet them.



1. Tuberculosis



As illegal immigration continues to run amok thanks to business and the government turning a



blind eye, tuberculosis is making a comeback in the States. Reports say that over three-quarters of



the TB cases reported in California were found in foreign natives.



Public health officials are not concerned enough by this. As for me? I’m terrified. Because the



most frightening part of this is that there are emerging strains of drug-resistant TB being brought



into the country by illegal immigrants who, of course, bypass the health screenings regularly conducted



with legal immigrants.



2. Chagas disease



You’ve probably never heard of this “kissing bug disease,” but Latin Americans know it all



too well. And why shouldn’t they? It affects more than 18 MILLION people there every year—



and 50,000 of those die. In fact, it’s the leading cause of heart failure in Latin America.



The bugs that spread it (triatomine bugs) are endearingly called “kissing bugs” because they



prefer to feed on your lips and face. There’s nothing sweet about their kisses, though. They nibble



on your face while you’re sleeping…then they defecate on you. If the feces enter your body through



mucous membranes or breaks in your skin, you’ll contract the disease.



Some people present no symptoms, and others will only end up with common cold symptoms.



But the disease can also cause local swelling, enlargement of your liver or spleen, and swollen glands.



It can get progressively worse from there—leading to an enlarged esophagus, enlarged heart, heart



failure, altered heart rate, and sometimes cardiac arrest. Up to 30 percent will eventually die…when



their heart or intestines actually explodes.



This disease isn’t contagious, and chances are you won’t run into these little buggers—but that



doesn’t mean you’re free and clear. Blood tainted with Chagas disease has turned up in our blood



supplies, and some transplanted organs are infected with the disease as well. Right now, there are



three proven cases of people receiving Chagas-infected organs. Two of them died.



3. Leprosy



Leprosy seems to be on the decline all around the world—everywhere, that is, except for the U.S.



That’s right, from 2005 to 2006, when the world was experiencing at 13.4 percent DECREASE in



leprosy cases, cases in the U.S. shot up higher than ever.



Forty or so years ago, less than 900 people in the U.S. were afflicted with leprosy. But in just



the last three years, that number has ballooned by 800 PERCENT—with over 7,000 new cases



reported. What’s going on here?



Right now, you’re probably thinking: Leprosy, that Biblical disease? But disease of Biblical proportions



is more like it. It’s a horrific disease, the likes of which you can’t fully understand unless you



see it. (If you’re not the squeamish type, try Googling the term “leprosy” and see what comes up.)



Just like the others, this is an imported disease. Dr. Terry Williams, who runs a clinic for lepers,



says that most of the cases he sees are imported from all over the world…like Africa, the



Philippines, China, and South America.



4. Dengue fever



This is another illness that most people in America have never heard of. But not too long ago, a



Texas town that borders Mexico experienced an outbreak. Can you imagine why that could be?



Maybe it has something to do with the fact that this mosquito-borne illness is on the rise in Mexico



and throughout Latin America.



The classic form of the disease consists of fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, and rashes—



and sometimes nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. But the hemorrhagic form isn’t quite so vanilla. As



the name implies, it causes both internal and external bleeding…including bloody diarrhea, vomiting



blood, and bleeding from mucosa.



The only thing doctors recommend is “supportive therapy,” such as staying hydrated and possibly



a blood transfusion (just make sure it’s not tainted with Chagas disease). In other words, there’s no cure.



5.Whooping cough



Another “ancient disease” on the rise. Even the American Academy of Pediatrics is saying that



it’s worse now than it’s been in the last 40 years.



This isn’t just your run-of-the-mill cough, either. It’s caused by an airborne bacteria called



Bordetella pertussis. It attacks your breathing passages and narrows your airways, which leads to



intense coughing and difficulty breathing. It’s especially dangerous for kids, and it can be deadly



for infants.



6. Cysticercosis



This is a parasitic disease caused by the pork tapeworm, and it’s caused by poor food-handling



practices. If you’re infected, something as simple as not washing your hands after you use the restroom



can cause you to contaminate food…and thereby spread it to other victims. The eggs will



hatch in your intestine, and then take up residence at any given place in your body.



One man who had a chronic headache ended up having a cyst of tapeworm larvae in his brain.



It could have killed him. This isn’t a rare situation, either. Hundreds of others have developed neurological



diseases because of this tapeworm. (Gives you something to think about when you step



into a fast-food restaurant…)



Between 1990 and 2002, 221 people in the U.S. died from cysticercosis. Almost 85 percent of



them were born in another country—and 62 percent of that number came from…you guessed it…



Mexico. Of the 33 American who died, 60 percent were living in California.



But since cysticercosis isn’t on the radar screen of most doctors and clinics, I’m betting that most



cases go undiagnosed—which means that the severity of the problem is likely far greater than the



numbers indicate. The easiest way to avoid this one…cook your own meals.



7. Morgellons



If it feels like you have bugs crawling under your skin, it might not be your imagination—especially



if you live in Texas, Florida, and California, where a mysterious disease called Morgellons is



crawling up from its neighbors to the south.



No one knows what causes it, how it’s spread, or how to make it go away. The medical establishment



has been quick to shrug it off. Victims wish they could do the same.



Victims complain of hair loss, skin thickening, fatigue and joint pain. But the worst part of all



has to be unexplained black fibers that come out of their skin. One sufferer said, “It gives you the



sensation that you have worms under your skin or rats crawling on you.” Another said, “When you



lay down, as soon as your head hits the pillow, your hair starts crawling.”



8. Polio



We did away with polio back in the 1940s when the advent of the polio vaccine. Since then,



you probably haven’t worried too much about this viral infectious disease. But polio is nothing to



mess with. It has a wide range of severity. It can be as minor as gastrointestinal problems and flulike



symptoms, or it can damage the central nervous system, leading to partial paralysis (as was the



case with FDR).



Now, once again, it’s on the rise in the U.S., thanks to the infected illegals who bring it across



the border with them. Luckily, this is one we do know how to fight, but when was the last time you



heard of anyone having to line up for a polio vaccine?



5 ways to protect yourself from illegal immigrants and their diseases



OK. Right now you’re probably thinking: To hell with being politically correct! How can I



avoid these diseases?



I wish I could give you an easy solution, but the problem is just too big for a quick fix. It would



be nice if we could ship all the illegals back to where they came from, but let's be honest: We know



that's not going to happen. In the meantime, here are a few steps you can take to stay healthy and



disease-free: Your best defense is a healthy immune system. A few of my favorite immune-boosters



include lactoferrin, elderberry, chamomile tea—and the cheapest one: sleep.



Wash your hands often. It might be the oldest advice in the book, but it works.And if you’re traveling



in close quarters—like on a bus or plane—wear a mask.



See if the restaurants you frequent check for these diseases. Do they have Hispanic immigrants



handling food? Find out and act accordingly.



If you hire Hispanics, you’ll want to see more than a green card. Get a recent medical certificate



showing they are not infected with this or any other parasitic disease, such as Giardia lamblia or amebiasis.



They should also be checked for TB. Check the fingernails of kitchen workers daily. If they



resent it-fire them.



3 foolproof steps we’ll never take to curb illegal immigration



Of course, I could go on and on, telling you about the rise of malaria, hepatitis A, B, and C, the



increase in all sorts of parasitic infections, and even HIV. But I think you’ve got the picture. That’s



a lot of sick people and a lot of serious diseases that we’re not quite prepared to fight.



I’m not a fan of political correctness, so I’m not afraid to tell you that I think it’s high time someone



in our government did something to stop illegal immigration before it brings this country to its knees—



and puts us all in the hospital. It isn’t all about Mexico, but that’s where a lot of it stops—and could end.



I’ve got a few of my own ideas of how to stop the impending economic disaster illegals represent:



1. A BORDER FENCE––Politicians say it’ll cost too much, but even at its most expensive



(an estimated $8 billion, tops), it would be cheaper than the negative lifetime economic



impact of just 1.5% of the illegals already in this country.



2. RESCIND BENEFITS––Simply by virtue of their presence in this country, illegal



immigrants are entitled to emergency health care, police and fire protection, and every



right to privacy, liberty, and due process of law that all American citizens are entitled to.



Many states grant them driver’s licenses, and many hold mortgages and credit cards.



Beyond this, their children, even if born one minute after illegally crossing the border,



enjoy full U.S. citizenship, along with all the perks.



3. EMPLOYMENT PROHIBITIONS––Making it a felony for anyone in America to hire



an illegal immigrant would go a long way toward discouraging those bent on hopping the



border to make a living. If the money river dries up, the “fish” will swim back from



whence they came.



Doing just these three things would neutralize the illegal immigrant threat almost overnight. If



we did these things, we wouldn’t even NEED to make illegal entry or occupancy a crime (another



measure being discussed by Republicrats). Nor would we have to go through the costly process of



mass deportations.



If illegals found they couldn’t work, get benefits, or guarantee their unborn automatic citizenship,



they’d go home and make Mexico all it could be (which was the goal of the all-but defunct



NAFTA).



Repeated surveys have shown that the vast majority (as much as 87%) of Americans favor the



construction of a fence or wall along the entirety of the U.S./Mexico border. But all this evidently



means nothing to our elected officials, including our President.



For them, the soul (and health) of America is secondary to votes, cheap labor, tax revenue, and



the opportunity to expand government (and their own power) through entitlements like welfare,



healthcare, and education assistance.



And so, instead of a return to the fairness and uniquely American concept of large-scale LEGAL



immigration and assimilation—one of the pillars of greatness this nation is built upon—we’ll end



up with a morass of half-measures, none of them effective, and all of them inflating government



power while at the same time watering down our once-great entrepreneurial culture into a massive



welfare state as stratified by social classes (the “haves” and “have-nots”) as any communist country



ever was.

Dear Member,



I have an important alert for anyone who may have recently purchased pet food from a PETCO retail store.



Two FDA inspections of an Illinois PETCO distribution center have revealed products stored in unsanitary conditions, including rodent and pest contamination.



The Illinois distribution center provides pet foods to PETCO locations in 16 states: Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin.



The FDA cautions: "Consumers who have handled products originating from the PETCO distribution center should thoroughly wash their hands with hot water and soap. Any surfaces that came in contact with the packages should be washed as well. Consumers are further advised as a precaution to thoroughly wash products sold in cans and glass containers from PETCO in the 16 affected states."



You can find complete information at this link:

By Sarah Womack, Social Affairs Correspondent





Today is the happiest day of the year, according to a psychologist.



The combination of sunshine and England's progress in the World Cup means the country is in a very optimistic mood, says Dr Cliff Arnall, of the University of Cardiff.



He has devised a formula for measuring mood through outdoor activity, energy levels and sunlight. He used a similar method to calculate that Jan 23 was the most depressing day.



His formula is O + (N x S) + Cpm/T + He, in which O stands for being outdoors and outdoor activity, N for nature, S for social interaction, Cpm for childhood summers and positive memories, T for temperature and He for holidays and anticipating time off.



Today was pinpointed as the happiest day of the year because of its added "thank goodness it's Friday" feeling at the start of a summer weekend.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;



Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,



And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.



I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

breitbart.com — Where does Obama get his talking points? It sure sounds like advice from Goofy Gore.

While I was angry at McCain for his support for the stupid ban on offshore drilling, I am glad he "appears" to have come to his senses & reversed his position. (Lets hope he keeps it if he gets elected). Obama is ether a downright socialist who wants to see us collapse economically or he is stupid beyond belief. Since approx $30.00 of the price of each barrel of oil is speculation the price would drop about $0.50 a gallon within a few weeks if we lifted the ban started drilling off the continental shelf, ANWAR & opened the shale oil fields. in approx 6-8 years prices would fall dramatically. I HAVE NEWS FOR OBAMA THERE IS ALREADY OFFSHORE DRILLING OFF OUR COASTS. CHINA IS DRILLING OFF CUBA 90 MILES FROM KEY WEST FOR THE CASTRO GOVERNMENT. I would ask Obama how long will it take to get Hydrogen cars in mass on the roads economically, most experts say approx 20 years that's if they can overcome the safety of storage as well as the cost deficiency of pulling Hydrogen out of water which currently uses more energy to do this than it produces.









mgdtkemgdtke:

Does the H stand for "Hypocrite" in Obama's initials? He says he is for the little guy, the poor guy, the middle class. Well, high energy prices hurt these people the worse. Opening oil fields offshore and in ANWR, as well as the oil shale fields, will create many jobs for these people. Build more refineries and the amount of jobs go higher.



It will only take 10 years to get to the oil in ANWR and off the coast because the stupid wacko environmentalist will start litigating. It should take no more than 2 years to get production safely and environmentally friendly if we didn't have the stumbling blocks.



We need a short-term plan and a long-term plan. The price of oil will drop significanlty if the US just announces that drilling will begin in previous off limit areas. For the long-term goal of lessening our dependence on foreign oil, build more nuclear plants, release the moratorium on reprocessing spent nuclear fuel, and provide tax breaks for energy alternatives R&D.

O.J. Simpson fails to turn himself in to the LAPD at a prearranged time and is later spotted in a white Ford Bronco on a Los Angeles expressway. After a low-speed pursuit through the freeways and streets of Brentwood, O.J. is finally arrested live on television in the driveway of his mansion. According to one of the defense attorneys who served on O.J.'s "Dream Team," Simpson tried to kill himself in the car, but the gun misfired. The Juice allegedly told him: "I pulled the trigger and it didn't go off."

Scans see 'gay brain differences'

The brains of gay men and women look like those found in heterosexual people of the opposite sex, research suggests.



The Swedish study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal, compared the size of the brain's halves in 90 adults.



Gay men and heterosexual women had halves of a similar size, while the right side was bigger in lesbian women and heterosexual men.



A UK scientist said this was evidence sexual orientation was set in the womb.





As far as I'm concerned there is no argument any more - if you are gay, you are born gay

Dr Qazi Rahman

Queen Mary, University of London



Scientists have noticed for some time that homosexual people of both sexes have differences in certain cognitive abilities, suggesting there may be subtle differences in their brain structure.



This is the first time, however, that scientists have used brain scanners to try to look for the source of those differences.



A group of 90 healthy gay and heterosexual adults, men and women, were scanned by the Karolinska Institute scientists to measure the volume of both sides, or hemispheres, of their brain.



When these results were collected, it was found that lesbians and heterosexual men shared a particular "asymmetry" in their hemisphere size, while heterosexual women and gay men had no difference between the size of the different halves of their brain.



In other words, structurally, at least, the brains of gay men were more like heterosexual women, and gay women more like heterosexual men.



A further experiment found that in one particular area of the brain, the amygdala, there were other significant differences.



In heterosexual men and gay women, there were more nerve "connections" in the right side of the amygdala, compared with the left.



The reverse, with more neural connections in the left amygdala, was the case in homosexual men and heterosexual women.



The Karolinska team said that these differences could not be mainly explained by "learned" effects, but needed another mechanism to set them, either before or after birth.



'Fight, flight or mate'



Dr Qazi Rahman, a lecturer in cognitive biology at Queen Mary, University of London, said that he believed that these brain differences were laid down early in foetal development.



"As far as I'm concerned there is no argument any more - if you are gay, you are born gay," he said.



The amygdala, he said, was important because of its role in "orientating", or directing, the rest of the brain in response to an emotional stimulus - be it during the "fight or flight" response, or the presence of a potential mate.



"In other words, the brain network which determines what sexual orientation actually 'orients' towards is similar between gay men and straight women, and between gay women and straight men.



"This makes sense given that gay men have a sexual preference which is like that of women in general, that is, preferring men, and vice versa for lesbian women."

Disney killed the Lemmings! =( And won an award for the documentary.

Contrary to popular belef, the lemming does not commit suicide. I was looking into it one day and learned different. They are so cute too!



"Misconceptions about lemmings go back many centuries. In the 1530s, the geographer Zeigler of Strasbourg proposed the theory that the creatures fell out of the sky during stormy weather (also featured in the folklore of the Inupiat/Yupik at Norton Sound), and then died suddenly when the grass grew in spring.[4] This was refuted by the natural historian Ole Worm, who first published dissections of a lemming, and showed that lemmings are anatomically similar to most other rodents.



While many people believe that lemmings commit mass suicide when they migrate, this is not the case. Driven by strong biological urges, they will migrate in large groups when population density becomes too great. Lemmings can and do swim and may choose to cross a body of water in search of a new habitat[5]. On occasion, and particularly in the case of the Norway lemmings in Scandinavia, large migrating groups will reach a cliff overlooking the ocean. They will stop until the urge to press on causes them to jump off the cliff and start swimming, sometimes to exhaustion and death. Lemmings are also often pushed into the sea as more and more lemmings arrive at the shore. [6]



The myth of lemming mass suicide is long-standing and has been popularized by a number of factors. In 1955, Carl Barks drew an Uncle Scrooge adventure comic with the title: The Lemming with the Locket. This comic, which was inspired by a 1954 National Geographic article, showed massive numbers of lemmings jumping over Norwegian cliffs.[7]. The suicide myth was further propagated by Walt Disney documentary White Wilderness in 1958 which includes footage of lemmings migrating and running head-long over a ledge. An investigation in 1983 by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Brian Vallee, showed that the Disney film makers faked the entire sequence using imported lemmings (bought from Inuit children), a snow covered turntable on which a few dozen lemmings were forced to run, and literally throwing lemmings into the sea to show the alleged suicides."

I am not sure what I had/have, but it really sucks. I have heard of quite a few other people having it too, actually. Apparently, it's "going around". I got it from my Dad or brother when they visted and they got it from my great aunt and uncle on Memorial Day when they visited them. Started as a sore throat (really bad!) and cough. Then it went to really achy neck, congestion and all the above. Then I lost my voice and the coughing spells started. Then the red eye when I woke started. It was all hitting me and pissing me off. And I had my birthday in all that. pfft.....



My brothers came to visit for my bday and Neil. Well, the weekend after my bday. My brother Josh decided he was going to take us all out to see Indiana Jones for my birthday. I had planned on getting perfume as his gift for me, CKN2U. I love that shit and have been wanting some for about 7 or 8 or 9 months. So I was like, "Oh shit, damnit!", to myself when he said that. I said, "I've seen it. Eh, it's ok. I thought you already saw it.". Last I heard he was going when it opened. No, he got busy. I saw it online and it wasn't worth seeing again and paying money for it. Besides, it was MY birthday and taking everyone out to a movie wasn't my idea of a birthday present. Now if he was doing that randomly sometime to treat everyone that would be great. But not for MY birthday. =( So we went to the mall and got my perfume after we cooked out.



After the mall we raced go carts. It was fun. But with my chest thing, I didn't think I was doing myself good by being in that wind.



The coughing fits are awful. They hit me about 3am and last for hours, and my body involuntarily coughs on each exhale. I cough until I almost throw up. Sucks.



Today I have quite a bit of my voice back. I am still coughing though.



I like Usher's new song, "What's your name?". It has a sample in it that sounded familiar and I figured it out that it's from Heartbeat City by The Cars.

Secret Plan To Kill Internet By 2012 Leaked?
08:35 Jun 12 2008
Times Read: 1,083

So what do you think of this?









Some question if report that pay-per-view system to be introduced is a hoax, but wider march to regulate the web is documented







ISP’s have resolved to restrict the Internet to a TV-like subscription model where users will be forced to pay to visit selected corporate websites by 2012, while others will be blocked, according to a leaked report. Despite some people dismissing the story as a hoax, the wider plan to kill the traditional Internet and replace it with a regulated and controlled Internet 2 is manifestly provable.



"Bell Canada and TELUS (formerly owned by Verizon) employees officially confirm that by 2012 ISP’s all over the globe will reduce Internet access to a TV-like subscription model, only offering access to a small standard amount of commercial sites and require extra fees for every other site you visit. These ‘other’ sites would then lose all their exposure and eventually shut down, resulting in what could be seen as the end of the Internet," warns a report that has spread like wildfire across the web over the last few days.



The article, which is accompanied by a You Tube clip, states that Time Magazine writer "Dylan Pattyn" has confirmed the information and is about to release a story - and that the move to effectively shut down the web could come as soon as 2010.

People have raised questions about the report’s accuracy because the claims are not backed by another source, only the "promise" that a Time Magazine report is set to confirm the rumor. Until such a report emerges many have reserved judgment or outright dismissed the story as a hoax.



What is documented, as the story underscores, is the fact that TELUS’ wireless web package allows only restricted pay-per-view access to a selection of corporate and news websites. This is the model that the post-2012 Internet would be based on.



People have noted that the authors of the video seem to be more concerned about getting people to subscribe to their You Tube account than fighting for net neutrality by prominently featuring an attractive woman who isn’t shy about showing her cleavage. The vast majority of the other You Tube videos hosted on the same account consist of bizarre avante-garde satire skits on behalf of the same people featured in the Internet freedom clip. This has prompted many to suspect that the Internet story is merely a stunt to draw attention to the group.



Whether the report is accurate or merely a crude hoax, there is a very real agenda to restrict, regulate and suffocate the free use of the Internet and we have been documenting its progression for years.



The first steps in a move to charge for every e mail sent have already been taken. Under the pretext of eliminating spam, Bill Gates and other industry chieftains have proposed Internet users buy credit stamps which denote how many e mails they will be able to send. This of course is the death knell for political newsletters and mailing lists.













The New York Times reported that "America Online and Yahoo, two of the world’s largest providers of e-mail accounts, are about to start using a system that gives preferential treatment to messages from companies that pay from 1/4 of a cent to a penny each to have them delivered. The senders must promise to contact only people who have agreed to receive their messages, or risk being blocked entirely."



The first wave will simply attempt to price people out of using the conventional Internet and force people over to Internet 2, a state regulated hub where permission will need to be obtained directly from an FCC or government bureau to set up a website.



The original Internet will then be turned into a mass surveillance database and marketing tool. The Nation magazine reported in 2006 that, "Verizon, Comcast, Bell South and other communications giants are developing strategies that would track and store information on our every move in cyberspace in a vast data-collection and marketing system, the scope of which could rival the National Security Agency. According to white papers now being circulated in the cable, telephone and telecommunications industries, those with the deepest pockets–corporations, special-interest groups and major advertisers–would get preferred treatment. Content from these providers would have first priority on our computer and television screens, while information seen as undesirable, such as peer-to-peer communications, could be relegated to a slow lane or simply shut out."



Over the past few years, a chorus of propaganda intended to demonize the Internet and further lead it down a path of strict control has spewed forth from numerous establishment organs:



* Time magazine reported last year that researchers funded by the federal government want to shut down the internet and start over, citing the fact that at the moment there are loopholes in the system whereby users cannot be tracked and traced all the time.



The projects echo moves we have previously reported on to clamp down on internet neutrality and even to designate a new form of the internet known as Internet

2.



* In a display of bi-partisanship, there have recently been calls for all

out mandatory ISP snooping on all US citizens by both Democrats and Republicans alike.

*

The White House’s own recently de-classified

strategy for "winning the war on terror" targets Internet conspiracy theories as a recruiting ground for terrorists and threatens to "diminish" their influence.

*

The Pentagon recently announced its effort to infiltrate

the Internet and propagandize for the war on terror.

*

In a speech last October, Homeland Security director Michael Chertoff identified the web as a "terror training camp," through which "disaffected people living in the United States" are developing "radical ideologies and potentially violent skills."

His solution is "intelligence fusion centers," staffed by Homeland Security personnel which will go into operation next year.

*

The U.S. Government wants to force bloggers and online grassroots activists to register and regularly report their activities to Congress. Criminal charges including a possible jail term of up to one year could be the punishment for non-compliance.

*

A landmark legal case on behalf of the Recording Industry Association of America and other global trade organizations seeks to criminalize all Internet file sharing of any kind as copyright infringement, effectively shutting down the world wide web - and their argument is supported by the U.S. government.

*

A landmark legal ruling in Sydney goes further than ever before in setting the trap door for the destruction of the Internet as we know it and the end of alternative news websites and blogs by creating the precedent that simply linking to other websites is breach of copyright and piracy.

*

The European Union, led by former Stalinist and potential future British Prime Minister John Reid, has also vowed to shut down "terrorists" who use the Internet to spread propaganda.

*

The EU data retention bill, passed last year after much controversy and with implementation tabled for late 2007, obliges telephone operators and internet service providers to store information on who called who and who emailed who for at least six months. Under this law, investigators in any EU country, and most bizarrely even in the US, can access EU citizens’ data on phone calls, SMS messages, emails and instant messaging services.

*

The EU also recently proposed legislation that would prevent users from uploading any form of video without a license.

* The US government is also funding research into social networking sites and how to gather and store personal data published on them, according to the New Scientist magazine. "At the same time, US lawmakers are attempting to force the social networking sites themselves to control the amount and kind of information that people, particularly children, can put on the sites."



The development of a new form of internet with new regulations is also designed to create an online caste system whereby the old internet hubs would be allowed to break down and die, forcing people to use the new taxable, censored and regulated world wide web.



Make no mistake, the internet, one of the greatest outposts of free speech ever created is under constant attack by powerful people who cannot operate within a society where information flows freely and unhindered. Both American and European moves mimic stories we hear every week out of state controlled Communist China, where the internet is strictly regulated and virtually exists as its own entity away from the rest of the web.



The Internet is freedom’s best friend and the bane of control freaks. Its eradication is one of the short term goals of those that seek to centralize power and subjugate their populations under tyranny by eliminating the right to protest and educate others by the forum of

the free world wide web.

First birthday...

This is the first birthday I have had since Mom passed. We always got together for birthdays. Just not the same. I was the one that got us together for the silliness of hats and silly string. But it was around her that we would gather for it all.



I had a dream of her last night. She told me, "I'm not dead.". I keep waiting on signs from her. Maybe that is what I am going to get as signs. I know they come to us in our dreams. That's what I am hoping anyway. I was hoping for more like, a full bodied apparition of her, sitting there with me, talking to me, telling me about the afterlife.

Ha, jeez......yep, emo......

I just colored my hair. It was supposed to be a lighter color in goldish colors. Instead it's lighter with reddish, which I told them I did NOTwant, at Sally's Beauty Supply. *sigh* Well, it IS warm and is ok, so I will leave it for now. I do like the bottom part of it enough to keep, but the top is too reddish. I told Danny when I talked to him, to just say, "Oh, that is hot!". He said, "I always do, don't I?". Well he wasn't found of when I went almost blonde with my highlighting experiments. He likes brunettes.



I have somehow caught something, but not quite sure what it is. Maybe a cold. But I am pretty much hoarse now and can hardly speak....congestion, sore throat...not as much energy. My neck was hurting severely yesterday but better today. I am downing the vitamin c. I believe that helped. That and Reiki. Things that I get tend to shapeshift and change forms. Who knows. I looked up the emotional reasons for it and it said something about some arguing and yelling. That would be Danny yelling about the sheriff saying that only I could pick up Mom's note this weekend (and celebrate my birthday with my brothers and Neil). It upset me and I told him that I was getting panicky and to stop yelling at me. He said he was yelling at the sheriff. I was like, no, you are yelling at me. Well, 1. He doesn't want to pay the $120 in gas for the trip, plus food for suppers there, etc. 2. Money spent could be for my birthday presents. 3. He is having a very hard time being there since Mom passed and like us all, he expects her to walk out of her bedroom like she would after a nap, and join us. =( I understand. I feel the same way too. I had wanted to go over there, but I understand and agree with his reasons. Hell I don't know what to do.



So, today is my birthday. I am now 39. The last year of my 30s. Not sure how to feel about it. I know age is just a number. But that number keeps going up! ;) I am all too aware of my mortality. Always have been. I am quite young at heart and play a lot, jump around and still like to dig in the dirt. Still, I look down and see more dimpling, more lowering of lines. Sometimes it bothers me, because I am so used to my body being a certain way and I see the subtle changes. Other times I can jump on the "I am proud to have this body and my age! Some never get to experience it!". I guess, if I can still play and do what I want to do in life physically, and still turn some heads, then I am doing just fine. That's pretty much how I see it.



I have a movie on pause, so I think I will finish that and eat a salad with tons of cheese croutons on it. =) I found a better copy of The Strangers online and am watching that. It's spooky as shit!
