HEALTH: How Not to Die

Sunday, March 27, 2016

Published on Feb 11, 2016
Dr. Greger visited Google NYC to discuss his new book – How Not to Die.

The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-recognized lecturer, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the fifteen top causes of death in America—heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson’s, high blood pressure, and more—and explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, freeing us to live healthier lives.

The simple truth is that most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. The 15 leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually. This doesn’t have to be the case. By following Dr. Greger’s advice, all of it backed up by peer-reviewed scientific evidence, you will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer.

History of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet. Have high blood pressure? Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug—and without the side effects. What about liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease (our #1 killer)? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to help prevent the disease, but arrest and even reverse it.

In addition to showing what to eat to help prevent the top 15 causes of death, How Not to Die includes Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen—a checklist of the foods we should try to consume every day. Full of practical, actionable advice and surprising, cutting edge nutritional science, these doctor’s orders are just what we need to live longer, healthier lives.

I attempt to follow all of his advice. Sometimes I even succeed. I hope that even that little effort will make a difference. Of course, I wear my seatbelt, ignore my cell phone, and look both ways if ever cross a street. So, I’ll probably get hit by lightening!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: IRS is a corrupt criminal organization

Ep. 621 The IRS Is About to Terrify Organizations into Shutting Up
18th March 2016
Tom Woods

*** begin quote ***

Wait until you hear the new rules the IRS is set to impose on a wide variety of organizations in September 2016 if all goes as planned. For example, forbidden “electioneering” will include so much as the mention of a candidate’s name on a website. We get into the details in this episode.

*** end quote ***

# – # – #

The IRS is a corrupt criminal organization that’s greedy for power over “We, The Sheeple”.

Remember Lois Lerner. You should you’re maying her ever month for “her service”. 

Who she was working for is in doubt, but one thing is for sure is that it was NOT the Taxpayer.

Argh!

Here Tom exposes another over reach!

POLITICAL: New meaning for “No justice; no peace”

Friday, March 25, 2016

http://nypost.com/2016/03/20/will-hillary-get-charged-or-what/

Will Hillary get charged, or what?
By Charles Gasparino
March 20, 2016 | 8:00pm 

*** begin quote ***

FBI sources say he has no backing from President Obama and Attorney General Loretta Lynch to recommend charges against the former secretary, since a Clinton presidency may be the best chance to preserve the Obama legacy.

That leaves Comey in a bind: Does he do what is politically expedient and deny the reality that Clinton’s email server activities violated the law, or follow the evidence to wherever it takes him?

Here’s hoping he uses the same standards against Clinton as he used against Stewart and Quattrone.

*** end quote ***

If she is not charged, then this is the end of the USA. It would strip away the illusion of equal justice under the law. “No justice; no peace” would take on a new meaning.

MONEY: Negative real rate of return for the LAST FORTY YEARS!

Thursday, March 24, 2016

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/03/no_author/german-response-negative-interest-rates/

German Response to Negative Interest Rates: Safe Deposit Boxes
By Paul-Martin Foss 
Carl Menger Center
March 19, 2016

*** begin quote ***

The Japanese response to negative interest rates was to buy personal safes. The German response is to pull money out of bank accounts and stick it in safe deposit boxes. Both are perfectly understandable reactions to the prospect of having to pay interest to a bank for holding deposits.

It is particularly interesting in Germany, where the Bundesbank a few years ago admitted that the average real rate of return on savings deposits has been negative for nearly the past 40 years.

Now that nominal rates have turned negative too, the facade of savings accounts as a safe place to park money to earn a little bit of income has finally been ripped away.

*** end quote ***

Wow, I stumbled across this when I was reading. What an admission!

I “know” that the FED (The Federal Reserve Bank is a misnomer. IT ain’t “federal”. It reserves nothing. And, it ain’t a “bank”. It is a private cartel of the elite banks run for their benefit and that of the entrenched politicians.) runs the printing press and adds electronic digits as it “needs” to. That continually robs “We, The Sheeple” of their purchasing power.

Now with “nominal interest rates” near zero, I would think that people would be waking up to the scam.

This statement really rubs everyone’s nose in it. And, like <synonym for excrement>, it’s a very unpleasant experience.

So what is Joe Sixpack to do?

Clearly “savings” are being silently, quietly, and invisibly taxed aka stolen away.

You can’t even calculate how much of Joe Sixpack’s earnings are being stolen.

The sadder part is that Joe doesn’t even realize that he’s been robbed.

Argh!

Even most sad about the whole thing is that all the Joe Sixpacks are suffering from the same lack of realization.

Argh!

Buy assets, bullion, or even bullets. Anything to preserve value.

GOLDBUG: A universal gram based gold currency is what the world needs

Tuesday, March 22, 2016

http://www.321gold.com/editorials/moriarty/moriarty031516.html

Reviewing The New Case for Gold
Bob Moriarty
Mar 15, 2016

*** begin quote ***

… … what we need is for all countries to accept a gram based gold currency unit instead of gold being tied to anything. The financial problems of the world today are caused by fake money and the solution is not another fiat currency that no one understands but real money that you can touch and feel and hold. Gold fills the bill, SDRs do not.

*** end quote ***

Imagine how easy it would be for commerce and travelers.

And, no more controversy about exchange rates, “currency manipulation”, and “racing to devalue”.

The Tower of Babel says that humanity was cursed with different languages. Maybe we were cursed with different currencies and that is really the thing that keeps us separate. And, under the proverbial thumb of the Bankers.

Of course, that will never happen.

“Honest money” is the friend of the poor, senior citizens on fixed incomes, and anyone trying to save! For retirements, a house, a child’s education.

Remember that “Cross of Gold” speech? How much better of would be those Farmers if their “wealth” hadn’t been stolen by the Gooferment with it’s inflation, “price supports”, and regulations?

While there’s no way to know for sure, it couldn’t be as bad as the “hidden tax” of the inflation of the US dollar. It has lost 99% of its value in the last 40 years.

Argh!

And, don’t forget the the current 18T+ national debt and the guesstimated 200T+ in unfunded liabilities that our posterity will have to deal with!!!

Gold is the standard.

GUN: It’s obvious that law-abiding contributing members of society live matter more

Family Laments Shooting Death of Teen Burglar By Homeowner
Posted by Bob Owens on March 15, 2016 at 12:33 pm

*** begin quote ***

For our civil society to remain intact, we must resist attempts by opportunistic politicians and activist groups to insist that criminals be treated as the most important members of society, instead of the drain on civil culture that they clearly are and have been. If we allow criminals to assume that their lives matter more than that of law-abiding, contributing members of society, then our entire culture and way of life if at risk.

*** end quote ***

I’m a pro-life pro-choice little L libertarian.

It’s never “right” to initiate force against anyone.

The right to property is a fundamental right. Our property represents how we have spent our time and the choices we’ve made.

This criminal was just that. Someone, who just stole, with out regard to “rights” or what was “Right”.

I agree that the tactical decision made by the shooter was “dumb” and could have turned out badly.

But, we need to think clearly who are the “victims” of “violence”.

It’s not the criminals.

RANT: Is an Amazon “oversold” like an Airline “bump”?

Sunday, March 20, 2016

This morning I was thinking about my fiancée’s recent experience with an Amazon purchase.

Background, she ordered a “new” (antique!) Blackberry phone. All well and good. It “disappeared”. Even though USPS reported it as delivered to her door.

Yeah, I know all about “porch pirates”. And, was perfectly fine until this morning.

Then, when safely under my tin foil hat, my Conspiracy Theorist bent came to the forefront and began asking questions.

Interesting that when she ordered it, Amazon said they had five for sale. When she called to complain about the missing delivery, the representative offered a refund OR A REPLACEMENT. She was told to wait until the follow ing Monday to make it official. When she did, “Amazon is no longer selling these”. (a polite FU! imho)

So as a certifiable Conspiracy Theorist, perhaps like the airlines who “bump” flights that they deliberately “overbook”, I suspected that maybe Amazon “oversold” this items.

Now, I’m an Amazon Prime-er, and I order lots of stuff. (18 items alone in 2016!) And, I have NEVER fallen prey to a “porch pirate”. That day, I got a delivery that USPS put in a locker. The next day, Sunday, I got a USPS delivery to the door.

Argh!

Now, maybe Amazon oversold it, realized that, and decided “who do we screw”?

Maybe Amazon has a label to the USPS that says “Lose this package”. And, USPS plays along. 

Why would USPS do that? Collision with Amazon; lest Amazon decide to bribe Congress that it want to deliver mail. Perhaps, even Amazon pays more for the “lose this package” service?

Argh!

I urged her to grip to Amazon a lot louder, the USPS, and any Gooferment entity that would listen.

Isn’t interesting that the same phone is available at Blackberry for 100$ more — no problem.

So why didn’t Amazon just buy one there and send to her to keep the Customer happy? Yeah, now it’s all about money!

I wonder if other people have had similar experiences.

Argh!

You’re right. I don’t trust ANYONE or ANY Crony Capitalist corporation. 

I’m sure the US Gooferment is going to rush to investigate itself.

Argh!

INSPIRATIONAL: Climate Scientists don’t really understand the mechanics of what happens

Saturday, March 19, 2016

http://tomwoods.com/podcast/ep-613-climate-change-what-does-science-really-say/

Ep. 613 Climate Change: What Does Science Really Say?
9th March 2016
Tom Woods

To call any aspect of the climate change orthodoxy into question is to risk being condemned as “anti-science.” But are the arguments and computer models of the so-called mainstream really so rock solid?

About the GuestChip Knappenberger is assistant director of the Center for the Study of Science at the Cato Institute. He has over 20 years of experience in climate research and public outreach, and has published numerous papers in the major atmospheric science journals on global warming, hurricanes, precipitation changes, weather and mortality, and Greenland ice melt, among many other areas.

Articles Mentioned
“The Case against a Carbon Tax,” by Chip Knappenberger, Robert Murphy, and Patrick J. Michaels
“Climate Models and Climate Reality: A Closer Look at a Lukewarming World,” by Patrick J. Michaels and Chip Knappenberger

Guest’s Links
Center for the Study of Science, Cato Institute
Chip’s Cato page (with his writings)

# – # – # – # – # 

What I found interesting was the following points:

  • Politicians and bureaucrats want a crisis; even if it’s not understood.
  • Media hypes the outrageous “solutions” aka “it bleeds, it leads”.
  • It’s a good possibility that the activities of man influences local weather. Maybe even global climate.
  • Warming maybe a good thing for humanity (i.e., wine grapes in England; farms in Greenland; a thriving Roman Empire).
  • It may be a 100 years before the sea level rises 18 inches. Humanity adapts to all sorts of “stuff”.
  • Can’t do much to deprive poor people of electricity which is carbon based.
  • Maybe radical “solutions” aren’t needed.
  • Climate Scientists don’t really understand the mechanics of what happens.

What I found inspirational was the quiet reasoned discourse about a controversial subject without rancor. I found that I could accept this. Probably because it was reasonable and reasoned. 

YMMV.

Son Charged With Murder For Killing His Mom’s Attacker
Posted by Jenn Jacques on March 10, 2016 at 2:13 pm

*** begin quote ***

“At that point, the 15-year-old son went to a place in the home where he knew there was a firearm,” Spotsylvania Sheriff’s spokesman Capt. Jeff Pearce said .”[He] took a semiautomatic firearm from a nearby location in the room and fired several shots at Conroy, striking him multiple times.”

*** end quote ***

He should be given a medal and sent home. Period.

Argh!

He saved the taxpayers a bunch of buxs.
