Stop Smart Meters Australia

Armchair activists: here’s your chance  to make a difference, with just a few clicks of your fingers!

OurSay, in conjunction with Deakin University, is giving the public an opportunity to pose questions to Senate candidate and WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange.

The following question regarding  smart meters is one of the contenders:

“Wireless smart meters breach people’s privacy, increase costs to the consumer, cause serious health problems, adversely affect pets, livestock, wildlife and bees, and damage homes and appliances. What do you believe is the real reason governments around the world are inflicting (wireless) smart meters on unwilling consumers and what will the Wikileaks Party do about smart meters, if elected?”

Each voter is given 7 votes to be used on any question(s) they choose.  Julian Assange will be asked the top five voted questions on August 16th.

Emergency Declared at Fukushima


Fukushima *

Fukushima * (Photo credit: Sterneck)

From ‘nsnbc‘, the latest on the Fukushima catastrophe. The level of health danger to the whole world cannot be exaggerated. The poor Japanese are in for a torrid future. The rest of the world cannot escape serious consequences and should be made aware of all the risks. (Refer News You Don’t Want to Read About Fukushima ). There is much more involving food chains and air quality that extends globally.

The degree of denial and cover up associated with this drastic situation is a disgrace to the human race.  Amazingly, many still believe that nuclear power is ‘safe’ enough to continue its use and further development.

Admittedly, if a transfer to Thorium Salt Reactors ( refer  China claims it leads the way with safe nuclear energy by using thorium), was being seriously and urgently implemented, the world would seem to have a better future. Not without issues (refer Nuclear Power – Thorium Reactors ) but that is another story altogether. Strange how money is available for mega-war destruction but energy production ‘has’ to be established on a mega-profit-making level.

Anyway, back to the point, large-scale death and maiming from Fukushima.

Christof Lehmann (nsnbc),After a 6.0 earthquake shook Fukushima on Sunday, the crippled nuclear power plant has attracted renewed national and international attention. Now, Shinji Kinjo, the head of Japan´s Nuclear Regulatory Authority, NRA, admits to a Reuters journalist, that “right now, we have an emergency”

Fukushima crippled reactorOn Sunday, an earthquake, measuring 6.0 on the Richter Scale, shook the Fukushima Prefecture in Japan. The epicenter of Sunday´s earthquake was near the epicenter of the 2011, 9.0 earthquake, that caused the death of more than 15.000 during a subsequent Tsunami, and which crippled the Fukushima Daiichi power plant, causing the meltdown of the core of several reactors, and as some experts claim, the meltdown of stored fuel rods.

The earthquake on Sunday directed renewed national and international attention to the situation at the crippled Fukushima power plant. The immediate response from the side of the operator of the plant, TEPCO, was that the earthquake had not caused any new or additional damage.

 However, in July it transpired, that the plant continues leaking highly radioactive contaminated water directly into the Pacific Ocean. Now, the head of Japan´s Nuclear Regular Authority, NRA, admits that “Right now, we have an emergency”.

Approximately 400 tons of groundwater percolate into the basements of the crippled plant every day. There, the groundwater mixes with the water, which is pumped into the plant in the, according to some sources desperate” attempts to cool down the reactor cores which are in a state of meltdown. The temperature of the cores however, continues to rise. The highly contaminated water is escaping directly into the Pacific Ocean.

On Sunday, a nuclear physicist stated to nsnbc international, on condition of anonymity, that the situation at Fukushima can best be described as an open air nuclear power plant in meltdown mode, with the cooling water being pumped directly into the ocean.

Moreover, the contaminated water is also entering the surface soil and the groundwater. The consequences could be described as catastrophic.

Top 8 Tips to Feed Your Brain and Power Up for the Day: Brain Boosting Foods!


I subscribe to this blog because it supplies a lot of good information.

Scientific misconduct in medicine.


From ‘Doc’s Opinion’, another helpful article, at least helpful to me in supporting my cynical attitude to what I consider the adulteration of science and its practices, becoming more obvious each day. Partly more obvious because of the extent of the internet, but seemingly also because of the increasing disregard of correct and moral, scientific standards and practices by practitioners who are adversely influenced by greed and self-interest.

Gross Misconduct

Gross Misconduct (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Part of ‘Doc’s Opinion’ article ” “You know nothing Jon Snow” – Scientific misconduct in medicine.” linked here.

When it comes to medical knowledge I´m aware that there is very little I know and very much I don´t know. I allow myself to be comforted by the old words of Socrates: “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing”.

However, I know I can improve. Seeking knowledge has always been among my highest priorities. My fountain of information is the medical literature and tons of results from scientific studies. In order to be a better doctor, I can literally bathe every day in a pool of fresh scientific data from peer reviewed medical journals. Afterwards I will sense the strength of increased wisdom in my veins. I will be wiser than yesterday. I will be better suited to take care of my patients and educate my coworkers.

But, today there is foul-smelling from my fountain of medical knowledge. The past week saw some new twists in the tale of a prominent Japanese cardiologist, Dr Hiroaki Matsubara, accused of fabricating and manipulating data for cardiology research later published in a range of cardiology journals. Last year, the American Heart Association (AHA)  issued a notice of concern about five of Matsubara´s papers appearing in three of their journals, Circulation, Circulation Research, and Hypertension, between 2001 and 2004. Recently, the American Heart Association retracted these papers.

Concerns about Dr Matsubara also involve the Kyoto Heart
Study presented at the European Society of Cardiology 2009 Congress and later published in the European Heart Journal. This publication was later retracted by the journal.

A few days ago, Japan’s minister of health, Norihisa Tamura, as well as university officials at Kyoto Prefectural University announced that the Kyoto Heart Study data were “very likely” fabricated.  ”Incomplete” patient data were used in the study, which concluded that the blood-pressure drug Valsartan reduced cardiovascular events via mechanisms unrelated to blood-pressure lowering. Had “complete patient records” been used, the study would have reached “a different conclusion,” the university concluded. Finally, it has also emerged that two employees from the pharmaceutical company Novartis were involved in the conduct and analysis of the Kyoto Heart Study, as well a another trial, the Jikei Heart study. However, their participation was not acknowledged in publications and presentations of the data.

All of us know that the case of Matsubara is not unique. However, we don´t know whether it is just the tip of the iceberg or if this is a rare event. All we know is that scientific  misconduct in medicine should not exist. However, I fear it is much more common than we realize. [My emphasis].

Medical science is about seeking knowledge and testing hypotheses in order to be able to move forward, and increase our understanding of health and disease. But there is another, sometimes darker side to it.
It is characterized by ambition, competition, need for acknowledgement, and an obsession to get there first. The words “greed”, “ruthlessness” and “dishonesty” may even sometimes be appropriate. Obviously, there is risk of foul play.

When I started my blog I thought I was well suited, due to my
education and knowledge, to provide my readers with reliable information about heart disease and cardiovascular prevention. My strength was my knowledge of the medical literature, and how to interpret scientific data. However, if the literature is contaminated with falsified and manipulated data, I wonder: How much do I really know?

The sadness of the author’s realization of the reality of the corruption in extent and depth, is revealed here and must be a warning to the others in this industry who need to also wonder “How much do I really know?”  I suggest, a lesson to be learned by many.

The Sun and Skin Cancer: Examining the Truths, Pseudo-Truths and Lies of Mainstream Science


A topic that has been on my ‘to-do’ list for ages. From ‘Wakeup World’  By Dr. Michelle Kmiec.

Hopefully this throws some light  [ 🙂 ] on the subject and reveals some truths.

Readers please comment if you disagree with any of this information.

positive

My apologies to the source blog and author for reproducing the whole article. Hopefully readers will be impressed by this post and check out your blog, linked here.

So we hear the sun is good you… and then the sun is bad for you… and then later the sun is good for you again (or is bad for you now… I just can’t keep it straight).

Isn’t this game of ‘good-bad-good’ played on just about every topic under the sun (terrible pun I know…sorry about that)?

We are a society immersed in fear… fear… and more fear. So the sun being another object of fear isn’t any big surprise.

The notion that we, people that live on the surface of this planet, should cover-up and stay out of the sun as much as possible has always struck a strange cord with me. I could believe something like this if we, in fact, lived underground and were nocturnal cave dwellers; only to come out at night to work and play.

But we are not nocturnal by nature. We sleep at night and are active during the day. Did nature get this wrong? Could this perhaps be nature’s biggest joke on us? Or are we the ones who are confused?

There are reasons why we are active during the day rather than at night, and our physiology proves it:

1.  The pineal gland provides melatonin at night and serotonin during the day.

2.  We have excellent day vision and poor night vision.

3.  Vitamin D is a vitamin-like hormone that our body makes only with direct sun exposure.

4.  Not to mention that we are “programmed” to be drawn to the sun. Don’t we all just love that warm sunny day? Doesn’t it do absolute wonders on your state of mind?

Nonetheless, we’ve been told to stay out of the sun, cover up, and lather on the sunscreen on. And aren’t we totally brain washed regarding sunscreen? We are told that if we don’t put on the sunscreen, we’ll get wrinkles and/or get skin cancer. Right? Sound familiar?

And now the latest myth about being out in the sun… it is becoming more dangerous due to the shrinking ozone layer causing the sun rays to be stronger than ever before, of course causing more skin cancer. But that’s another topic all together.

UVA and UVB Rays:

Before we go into more detail, here’s a little refresher on UVB and UVA rays.

“New Information Dissolves Illusions About Vaccines—And They’re All Illusions”


Some more provocative claims that the mainstream theories and practices regarding vaccinations need challenging. Undoubtedly, this is a very contentious issue. To unconditionally brand all vaccinations as unnecessary and /or unsafe would seem wildly and willfully incorrect and unintelligent. This may or not be the thrust of the ‘VacTruth’ organization and this particular book.

The point I am comfortable in putting forward is that there is much wrong, in general, with the vaccination industry, its practices and motivations. This article offers more evidence that this is indeed the case. Until the valid questions about:

  • the quality of vaccines,
  • the efficacy of vaccines,
  • the specific need for specific vaccines,
  • the safety of vaccinations,
  • the honesty of the drug companies,
  • the validity of testing trials,
  • the honesty and impartiality of the regulating organizations,
  • the relativity of profit making and patient safety agendas,
  • and the effectiveness and honesty of adverse incident reporting procedures

are independently assessed and appropriately actioned, these questions need to be repeatedly asked and publicised.

I would also highlight the points made about sanitation, clean and healthy foods and natural remedies, the importance of which are largely overlooked in the agenda-driven vaccination promotions.

Dissolving Illusions is a powerful new book written by Roman Bystrianyk and Suzanne Humphries, MD

This article from  ‘Vactruth’ , by Jennifer Hutchinson, about a new book by Susan Humphries MD & Roman Bystrianyk titled “Dissolving Illusions”, deserves some attention.

There’s a new book out. It’s called Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History. The biggest illusion is quite simple and is the basis for the entire book and what the book ultimately proves. Before I continue, answer this true-or-false question:

Throughout history, vaccines have been responsible for the increase in life expectancy, and drastically reduced the death toll from infectious diseases.

If you said false, you are correct. Vaccines were not responsible for the increase in life expectancy or the major drop in mortality from infectious diseases.

Another question.

True or false: Clean water, nutrition, hygiene, and sanitation were responsible for the eradication of all of many infectious diseases.

This is true, which Dissolving Illusions clearly shows. This single fact makes the following question easy to answer.

True or false: The vaccine program in this country is based on a false premise.

Absolutely true. Really think about this. Diseases like cholera and typhoid all but vanished before the introduction of any vaccine. Therefore, vaccines could not have been responsible for the eradication of these diseases.

But wait. I was told my whole life that vaccines are absolutely necessary to protect us from awful diseases. How can it not be true?

It’s Basic History 101

In the 1800s and 1900s, many people in the United States lived in poverty and filth. In small, overcrowded, dark houses with rats, roaches, mosquitoes, and other vermin. Streets were filled with sewage and garbage and dead animals—often as much as two to three feet deep in places like New York City. Food and drinking water were diseased.

People were malnourished. They didn’t have clean running water and flush toilets. When they became sick, they ended up in hospitals that were also dirty and unsanitary, lacking in basic hygiene such as handwashing and instrument sterilization and isolating the sick.

Many worked long hours in dirty, unsafe conditions, without fresh air, exercise, and rest. Even children labored to the point of illness and sometimes death. Epidemics were rampant, with millions dying from diseases like typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery, diphtheria, pertussis, scarlet fever, measles, yellow fever, tuberculosis, puerperal fever, and smallpox. Mortality was high, and life expectancy was low.

This is the forgotten history. This is what was responsible for the spread of disease. This is the truth.

Then came the Sanitation Revolution. Everything changed. Sewage and waste was properly disposed of. Clean drinking water was mandated. Food was inspected and handled properly so it was no longer contaminated. Milk was pasteurized. Labor laws were passed to protect workers. Basic hygiene was implemented. In many countries, life became cleaner, safer, and better.

Another piece of the forgotten history is the lost remedies. Vitamins, cinnamon, garlic, echinacea, jicama, fresh juice, apple cider vinegar, cod liver oil, silver, and other natural supplements were used to treat infectious diseases. And guess what? They worked very well.

The result? By 1940, deaths from measles, scarlet fever, pertussis, and diphtheria were practically a thing of the past. Deaths from scarlet fever—a bigger killer—were almost unheard of by the early 1900s, even before antibiotics were used to treat it. Tuberculosis, pneumonia, flu … same thing. When they surfaced, they were much milder. Mortality was rare. That’s a fact.

And this is important. This happened during a time when there was an almost zero vaccination rate.
