Why Getting Stoned is Better Than Getting Drunk
AlterNet Myths about marijuana convince people that alcohol is safer, but science shows pot is the healthier choice. Alcohol kills approximately 70,000 people per year. Prescription pills, which have helped overdose become the leading cause of accidental death in America, result in more than 20,000 deaths per year. Marijuana has never killed anybody. Although scientific research is available to show that pot is relatively harmless, and in fact medically beneficial, myths and propaganda about the plant’s alleged harm lead to marijuana laws so severe they often have the unintended consequence of driving people to drink alcohol, a ...
Monsanto Investor Bill Gates Says GMO Crops Needed to Fight Starvation
Anthony Gucciardi/Activist Post Bill Gates, the heavy Monsanto investor who purchased 500,000 shares of the biotech giant in 2010, has been touting Monsanto’s genetically modified creations as a tool that is necessary to prevent starvation in poor nations. The same poor nations where thousands of farmers routinely commit suicide after being completely bankrupt by Monsanto’s overpriced and ineffective GM seeds. The same company that we recently exposed to be running ‘slave-like’ working conditions, forcing poor workers to operate the corn fields for 14 hours per day while withholding pay. According to Gates, this is the company whose GMO crops are going ...
Law of Attraction: Thinking Is Not Enough To Turn Your Thoughts Into Reality
PreventDisease Thoughts can turn into reality faster than you realize. But it takes more than just thoughts to make your biggest dreams come true. If you don't truly feel your intention, it may never come to pass. Within the seed of your desire is everything necessary for it to blossom to fulfillment, and Law of Attraction is the engine that does the work. -- Abraham-Hicks The Law of Attraction is a thought, a belief ...
The President’s YouTube Forum Deems Marijuana Legalization Questions “Inappropriate”
Jesse Warren Image Russ Belville/NORML As of 7pm Pacific, I checked the YouTube.com/WhiteHouse page to see how many votes our question received in President Obama’s latest YouTube Forum. The good news? Our question, “With over 850,000 Americans arrested in 2010, for marijuana charges alone, and tens of billions of tax dollars being spent locking up non-violent marijuana users, isn’t it time we regulate and tax marijuana?” received 4,023 votes, making it one of the most popular submissions to the forum. The bad news? See for yourself. “The submission has been removed because people believe it ...
Pieces Of Planet Mars Landed In Africa Last Summer
Disinfo Obviously, the best result from inspection would be (additional) evidence of Martian lifeforms. Via the Globe and Mail: Scientists are confirming a recent and rare invasion from Mars: meteorite chunks from the red planet that fell in Morocco last July. The fireball was spotted in the sky six months ago, but the rocks weren’t discovered on the ground until December. The last time a Martian meteorite fell and was found fresh was in 1962. All the known Martian rocks on Earth add up to less than 240 pounds. This is an important and unique opportunity for scientists ...
The 7 Biggest Reasons To Never Eat Genetically Modified Foods
PreventDisease You may not want to eat genetically modified (GM) foods, but chances are, you are eating them anyway. There are urgent reasons why we need to ban them altogether. Monsanto is one of the most malevolent ...
If The Economy Is Improving….Then Why Is….?
TheEconomicCollapse Everywhere you turn these days, someone is proclaiming that the economy is improving. Barack Obama is endlessly touting the "improvement" in the economy, the mainstream media is constantly talking about "the economic recovery" and an increasing number of Americans seem to be buying into this line of thinking. A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found that 37 percent of Americans believe that the economy will improve over the next year, while only 17 percent of Americans believe that it will get worse. But is the economy actually improving? Not really. At the moment ...
Is Now The Time To Move Away From Major U.S. Cities?
TheAmericanDream As the U.S. economy falls apart and as the world becomes increasingly unstable, more Americans than ever are becoming "preppers". It is estimated that there are at least two million preppers in the United States today, but nobody really knows. The truth is that it is hard to take a poll because a lot of preppers simply do not talk about their preparations. Your neighbor could be storing up food in the garage or in an extra bedroom and you might never even know it. An increasing number of Americans are convinced ...
What Is The Price Of Your Values, Morals and Soul?
PreventDisease What decides whether you will sell out your personal values to the highest bidder? It can be reasonably suggested that there would be no corruption in the world if people refused to sacrifice their value systems for monetary compensation. So why does it happen? A neuro-imaging study shows that personal values that people refuse to disavow, even when offered cash to do so, are processed differently in the brain than those values that are willingly sold. The experiment is curious one especially considering its funding sources namely the U.S. ...
Iran Oil Ban Will Up Oil Prices By 30%: IMF
Share | Email | Print PressTV The International Monetary Fund headquarters in Washington DC The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says sanctions imposed by the US and European Union on Iran's oil and financial sectors will cause the global oil price to rise by 20-30 percent. A paper published by the world body on Wednesday said the oil price hike would occur “if Iran halts oil exports as a result of US and European Union sanctions.” The IMF further stated that financial sanctions against Tehran may be "tantamount to an oil embargo" and would imply supply declines of about ...
The Disease Machine: Why Drug Makers Keep You Sick
Anthony Gucciardi/NaturalSociety Why are ineffective and dangerous drugs peddled by supposed ‘public health’ organizations in place of well-established natural solutions with virtually zero side effects? The truth of the matter is that drug makers simply would not profit if the world were to awaken to the plethora of free health-promoting substances that beat out over-priced pharmaceuticals and medical interventions. There would be no need for pharmaceutical manufacturers, phony ‘public health’ organizations peddling the latest ‘miracle’ drug, and certainly no research organizations feeding off the donations of good-hearted individuals. You may think that this is an ...
Brit Studies Show ‘Magic Mushrooms’ Seen To Be Effective In Treating Depression
Lindsay Goldwert/NYDailyNews.com Peter Dejong/AP Scientists seeking new ways to treat depression are seeing magic in psychedelic mushrooms. Psilocybin, the active ingredient in the druggy fungus, seems to affect the medial prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that is hyperactive in people who suffer from depression, reports Reuters. Mushrooms seem to work similarly to anti-depressant drugs like Prozac but with additional, mind-opening benefits. Two British studies found that psilocybin affects the area of the brain that keeps the world orderly and prevents thing from appearing new and strange, allowing for “loosened” thoughts and keener experience of personal memories. Study authors are ...
Even Slight Dehydration Impacts Brain Function, Mood, and Energy
Mike Barrett/NaturalSociety A new study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that dehydration is a key factor in the cause of headaches, loss of focus, fatigue, and low mood while exercising and resting. The importance of staying hydrated and consuming healthy amounts of water has been voiced by experts for decades, but knowing exactly how water can positively impact you may be the key that causes you to increase consumption. Even Slight Dehydration Impacts Brain Function, Mood, and Energy The study involved 25 women, with all of them being just about 1 percent lower than ...
24 Facts That Show How Ridiculously Unfair Our Economy Is For Americans Under The Age Of 30
TheEconomicCollapse If you are an American under the age of 30, you have probably figured out by now that the entire economic system is stacked against you. The way that our economy is structured today is ridiculously unfair to younger Americans. First, we endlessly push our young people to go to our ridiculously expensive colleges and universities where the pile up enormous amounts of debt. Then they get out into the real world where they find that only a handful of really good jobs are available for the vast army of college graduates ...
Homeland Security Wants to Spy on 4 Square Miles at Once
Spencer Ackerman/Wired.com It’s not just for the Afghanistan and Iraq wars anymore. The Department of Homeland Security is interested in a camera package that can peek in on almost four square miles of (constitutionally protected) American territory for long, long stretches of time. Homeland Security doesn’t have a particular system in mind. Right now, it’s just soliciting “industry feedback” on what a formal call for such a “Wide Area Surveillance System” might look like. But it’s the latest indication of how powerful military surveillance technology, developed to find foreign insurgents and terrorists, is migrating to ...
Marijuana: Nature’s Wonder Drug Curbed by The Illuminati
Charlotte Harrison-Smith/HenryMakow.com "My father, a high-level Freemason, told me how man's knowledge of seeds were the "key" to controlling the Kingdom of not just heaven, but also the Kingdom on earth." The Illuminati can be attacked on their vulnerable flank, the suppression of cannabis. This would undermine their pharmaceutical and medical monopolies. For most of my life, I believed Hemp and Cannabis, or Marijuana, was an evil visited upon our society. I viewed those who used it as slow, ignorant and lazy. I had never taken any time to research the subject because ...
Living The Matrix-Who’s Fuel Are You?
Zen Gardner/BeforeItsNews Where's your energy going? Never mind the money, products or what have you that you are generating, what is harvesting your intention, enthusiasm, dreams and desires? Are you anywhere near in control of your life? Why is it humanity seems to be spinning its wheels rather than progressing, while the insane scientific, military industrial complex accelerates in size and power like a monstrous metastasizing ghoulish tumor? The answer is clearly in the question. Whether you go for the esoteric concept that inter-dimensional or spiritual entities are ultimately behind this rapacious control system or ...
Top Secret Places Governments Don’t Want You To Know About
Disinfo This satellite image of Area 51 shows dry Groom Lake just northeast of the site. Area 51, Hangar 18, Montauk, Pine Gap, Fort Detrick, Rudloe Manor, Zhitkur, Porton Down, the Dugway Proving Ground, and the Dulce Base: these are just a handful of the many and varied select, highly-classified installations about which the governments of the United States, Australia, China, Russia, the United Kingdom and elsewhere, prefer that we, the general public, remain steadfastly ignorant of. And those same governments have extremely good reasons for wishing us to remain in the dark. It is at ...
SOPA and PIPA Fully Alive-And a New Bill Joins Them
Heather Callaghan/Activist Post This is what remains of Megaupload.com Many of us breathed a sigh of relief when an overwhelming amount of Americans banned together and voiced their opposition to Congress over both the Stop Online Piracy Act, and Protect Intellectual Property Act. Sites that dimmed the screen for a day or two have gone back to normal — Facebook users have swapped their anti-SOPA images for their previous profile pictures. We may have even believed that the postponement of the vote originally scheduled for January 24th was some sort of white flag of capitulation. But that is certainly not ...
