Human Rights

I agree: "The process of labeling minority groups interferes with the responsibility we have of relating to all fellow human beings." We have to be careful when walking through mine fields and picking up booby traps too. We have to be accurate in what we say.
The Italian-American Civil Right League was created by Joseph Colombo with the intention of fighting defamation and persecution of Italians. Colombo was the head of the Colombo Crime Family, one of the Five Families in New York City. If one reads why the League picketed the Manhattan Office of the FBI, their organization seems less hilarious than it does at first glance. If we look deeper we see more:
Since the exposure of the Cosa Nostra, in the 1950s, Italians have been portrayed as the leading American gangsters. Everyone has heard of Al Capone in Chicago and Lucky Luciano in New York City. Italians were featured in the TV series The Untouchables (by Desilu) and the blockbuster movie The Godfather (by Mario Puzo). Italians have been the subject of innumerable books TV shows and movies. Luciano is credited with having organized organized crime. Capone started his career in NYC and was an associate of Luciano.
Luciano had two boyhood friends who became his partners in big time crime: Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel "the man who invented Las Vegas" and Meyer Suchowijansky better known as Meyer "the accountant" Lansky. The three young up-and-coming hoods were tutored by Arnold "the brain" Rothstein who invented the way to earn billions during Prohibition, back when a billion dollars was a lot of money. Rothstein counseled co-operation and organization.
Of the members of ethnic groups prominent in big time crime, Italians are singled out. Some other well-known names from the past are "Dutch" Schultz, The Purple Gang (Detroit), Murder Incorporated, Louis "Lepke" Butchalter and so on. The list of big time criminals is long and fascinating. Below is some of it. Some are Italians, some are not. Interestingly, the FBI, under J. Edgar Hoover, focussed on bank robbers while it denied the existence of organized crime. After bank robbers, the FBI focussed on Communists. The people in the list below are all historical figures today. Who are today's gangsters and what are they doing?
The true home of Big Time Crime is and has always been politics. But that is an entire universe we don't have time to look into today. If you have time click these links. Have fun!

My cholesterol was 9.6 mmol/l or 371.23 mg/dl the last time it was checked. I should be dead according to the medical experts. But I'm not dead. I may live another sixty years. That is the plan. Am I at risk of heart attack? Cardiovascular disease? I don't think so. Of course I'm not a doctor, so what do I know?

Gardasil Victim Speaks Out
© MMXII V.1.0.5
by Morley Evans
This is Brittany whose life has been destroyed by Gardasil™, another pharmaceutical wonder drug from Merck. Brittany is 23 years old. She breaks my heart, but Merck doesn't care. Merck is "only in it for the money." Merck wants to vaccinate every girl, starting when she is 13 years old. They are passing laws to make it mandatory. Mothers and fathers, you must protect your children. You must stop Merck. Say, NO!
Merck took 18 years out of my life with Zocor™. I was in a coma in 2000 after I had been tortured for eight years. It took me ten years to recover. Add it up. Merck and my doctors could not care less PROVING they are only in it for the money. Brittany will lose more years than I lost. Brittany is young. She has decades of suffering ahead of her. She might not be as lucky as I have been. Merck doesn't care one way or the other. You must care. You must say, NO! There's something really wrong going on here.

The Jewish Vote
© MMXII V.1.0.8
by Morley Evans
Jews account for about 2% of the American population. When Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the U.S. Congress a few weeks ago, standing ovations were so frequent the assembled were virtually on their feet the whole time. Every American candidate running for office bends over backward to demonstrate solidarity with Israel. Why do Jews have so much power? They don't.
Jews have been astoundingly successful in the United States. Jews can be found among the leaders in every category: publishing, broadcasting, law, medicine, retailing, finance, education, science, entertainment, business, journalism, labour, politics and crime. There are probably no Jews on welfare or among the homeless. Jewish children are always among the brightest and hardest working students. It could seem to the simple-minded that this small population runs everything and controls everyone.
A survey of Whose Who seems to support the Zionist view which is that Jews are the Master Race, that Jews are "God's Chosen People" and that everyone else exists to serve them. But the Zionist view is wrong and despite intense Zionist pressure throughout the last century, most Jews are ambivalent to — if not hostile to — Zionism and Israel. Norman Finkelstein boasts that he is the only Jew they won't let into the "Jewish State". He is not alone, however. Jews are at the forefront of the anti-war, anti-Israel movement. Israeli Jews put themselves in jeopardy to denounce the treatment of the Palestinians and work to help them. Those Jews don't own the American broadcast media and they don't have zillions of dollars stashed away. Their voices go unheard — like everyone else's voices, they are silenced by the "free press".
In the United States, AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), apparently decides who will get elected in Washington and who won't get elected. That's why the Congressmen and the President suck up to them and bow down low when they pass by. They aren't really motivated by "the Jewish vote." Jews have always voted for the Democratic ticket. Furthermore, it is the "Israel" lobby, not the "Israeli" lobby. The AIPAC masters have their own agenda which is even farther right than Likud or the Nazis (who got their Master Race ideas from the Zionists, according to Neturei Karta an order of Orthodox Jews). The Israeli leaders certainly listen pretty carefully when AIPAC speaks because AIPAC controls the American loot that finances Israel.
It would be incorrect to say that "the Jews" control the United States and the fate of the world. It would be correct to say that a handful of zillionaires control the United States and the fate of the world by deciding who is elected to Congress and who becomes the President. They are a cryptocracy that acts in concert with the Federal Reserve System and the other central banks, Wall Street and the military-industrial complex. They are not all Jewish. They are not all American. According to Alfred Lilienthal in the Zionist Connection, this shifted into high gear with the election that was "stolen" by Harry Truman and his Zionist financiers in 1948. "Give 'Em Hell Harry", dropped A-bombs on the Japanese and started the Cold War that lasted over sixty years. You might want to look at what the voiceless and dispossessed have been saying about the brave new world we live in. You won't hear from them in the high school civics class.
Elections are a sideshow to divert everyone's attention and provide the illusion that "the people" are in control. In reality, nothing changes whoever is elected. People who were disgusted by George W. Bush voted for Barack Obama who is worse than Bush and has done what Goldman Sachs wanted when they chose to be Obama's largest donor. Finally, "anti-Semitism" has been an extremely useful red herring to confuse the hounds, insight the mob and protect the crooks.

Lent
© MMXII V.1.0.1
by Morley Evans
Why is the cross the symbol of Christ and Christianity?
Numbers 21:4-9
21:4 From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; but the people became impatient on the way.
21:5 The people spoke against God and against Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we detest this miserable food."
21:6 Then the LORD sent poisonous serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many Israelites died.
21:7 The people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you; pray to the LORD to take away the serpents from us." So Moses prayed for the people.
21:8 And the LORD said to Moses, "Make a poisonous serpent, and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten shall look at it and live."
21:9 So Moses made a serpent of bronze, and put it upon a pole; and whenever a serpent bit someone, that person would look at the serpent of bronze and live.
John 3:14-21
3:14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
3:15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.
3:17 "Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
3:18 Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
3:19 And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.
3:20 For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed.
3:21 But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God."

Paul Craig Roberts
© MMXII V.1.1.3
by Morley Evans
http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2012/03/08/war-with-iran-obama-looking-for-a-way-out/
RT is Russian Television. Paul Craig Roberts was the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration.
http://www.paulcraigroberts.org
MY COMMENT:
After centuries of masquerading as the world's perennial good-guy, Washington is unmasked as the driving force behind the one world evil empire. The United States is always pushing for more. They've fooled everyone for a long time. Are we beginning to wake up? Is it too late?
Will there be a war on Iran? There has never been an issue more critical than this because Russia and China are involved and so are Pakistan and India. They all have nukes, so does Israel. "Disarming" Iran, which does not have nukes, is a ploy on the geopolitical chessboard. If China, Russia and Pakistan do nothing, the U.S. will encroach on them further after destroying Iran as it destroyed Iraq and Libya. "The Great Game" is world domination and the United States is close to total victory, some think in Washington. They must press on now or lose everything.
Washington is fomenting war. This is a game of chicken. Who will back down? The other side is not without assets. As PCR says, Russia supplies all natural gas and most oil to Europe. (Did you know that the Middle East supplies almost no oil to the United States?) China (followed closely by Japan) is the largest creditor of the United States after the Federal Reserve System. (U.S. debt is roughly J-1/4, C-1/4, Fed-1/2.) Russia also has all those ICBMs from the Cold War still pointed at us. American foreign policy has been aggressive right from the beginning in 1776, so no one can blame it all on Israel which currently has inordinate influence in Washington. Or does it? Washington could simply tell Israel no more money and no more support if you don't get real and do what you're told. Israel has no power. Israel is just another chess piece.
The solution lies with Americans themselves. They need to demand an end to Washington's Empire. Will they? Americans need to wake up to the fact that they have zero control of the U.S. government. It is controlled by Wall Street and the Federal Reserve; the Military-Industrial Complex; and the Israel lobby which is a creature of Mossad. They decide who gets elected and what they do after they are elected — not the voters. Americans' thoughts are controlled by the media they watch. How can Americans break out of this prison? They can forget about elections and armed rebellion. The Civil War was the last time anyone tried to break away by force. JFK was the last person who thought he could buck the system.
What about a tax strike? One is actually going on right now. Every time Americans (or anyone else) buys something "Made in China" or "Made in Mexico" or "Made in Costa Rica" or "Made in Brazil" or "Made in Japan" they are driving a nail into the coffin of the Empire which is already out of money if not out of business, yet. The Fed thinks it can continue to rule the world with its funny money. It cannot. Americans don't have to elect a better President, they can buy a toaster or a shirt and save themselves and the world. The parasites will be purged. George W. Bush told Americans to go shopping. . . Proving one never knows whom one will have to thank and that geopolitics is more like Go, than Chess: just when it looks like you are winning, you lose.
We get lots of things we want from China and Japan. They get IOUs that we will never pay. What do we get from The Fed? That's right: We get nothing — except its phony money. For that they want our homes, our businesses, our land, our lives. The Federal Reserve System combined with its central banking buddies is the biggest swindle in history. Are you going to go off to kill and die for them?

Clinical Trials Examined

Patients in Clinical Drug Trials
May Be Putting the Public at Risk
The recommended dose of a medication may be too high if patients in clinical trials did not take the full dose. This could lead to unexpected adverse drug reactions and toxicity after the drug is approved for use in the general population.
McLean, VA, March 13, 2012 - Every person taking a prescription drug assumes that the recommended dose is safe. Consumer Health Information Corporation suggests there could be a link between nonadherence of study patients in clinical trials to unexpected adverse drug effects and personal injury cases in recent years. If a person taking a prescription drug is more adherent than the study patients in the clinical drug trial, the recommended dose might be too high for that person.
Dr. Dorothy L. Smith, author of "Patient Adherence in Clinical Trials: Could there Be a Link to Postmarketing Patient Safety?" recently published in the Drug Information Journal, reviewed the last twenty years of research on patient adherence in clinical trials. The research has shown that up to 30% of clinical trial participants are missing doses and not taking the full dose. In order for study investigators to determine the safest recommended dose, it is critical that patient adherence in clinical trials is greater than that of the general population.
The problem is worsened, according to Dr. Smith, when study patients do not tell clinical investigators that they have missed doses and do not give honest feedback. These patients want to "please" the study team and/or do not want to be removed from the study. Electronic prescription caps have offered a solution but do not address the whole problem of patient adherence. The computer chips in these prescription containers accurately monitor when a medication is removed from the container but cannot monitor whether the patient actually administered the study drug or discarded it. Ultimately, it comes down to patient behavior and decisions that study patients make.
A clinical trial could be well-designed but a 20% to 30% decrease in medication adherence may require that the sample size be doubled in order for the study results to be accurate. If this is not done, the research results will be flawed and the dose recommended for the public could be too high.
Patient adherence in the general population has been increasing due to major attention it has received from FDA, health care professionals, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance companies. Patients are now receiving better patient education because of the efforts of these organizations and health care professionals. Potential patient safety problems could arise when patient adherence in the general population exceeds that of the clinical trial. Depending on the specific medication and medical condition of the patient, there could be a higher risk of adverse drug effects including toxicity.
Dr. Smith urges that "Study participants need to understand the important role they play in the clinical trial and how their actions and feedback will affect the accuracy of the study results as well as the lives of future patients who will be taking the study medication once it has been approved." She recommends that in order to protect the public:
"It's a sobering finding." states Dr. Smith. "I have spent my career trying to help patients take their prescription drugs correctly and to take the recommended dose. Clinical trial investigators need to develop a compliance strategy that will increase patient adherence to a level that will not require an increase in sample size to maintain the power of the study. This will give health professionals assurance that patient safety is not in danger because the dose and adverse event profile would be based on a higher level of study patient adherence than would be expected in the general population after the launch."

The problem is worsened, according to Dr. Smith, when study patients do not tell clinical investigators that they have missed doses and do not give honest feedback. These patients want to "please" the study team and/or do not want to be removed from the study. Electronic prescription caps have offered a solution but do not address the whole problem of patient adherence. The computer chips in these prescription containers accurately monitor when a medication is removed from the container but cannot monitor whether the patient actually administered the study drug or discarded it. Ultimately, it comes down to patient behavior and decisions that study patients make.
A clinical trial could be well-designed but a 20% to 30% decrease in medication adherence may require that the sample size be doubled in order for the study results to be accurate. If this is not done, the research results will be flawed and the dose recommended for the public could be too high.
Patient adherence in the general population has been increasing due to major attention it has received from FDA, health care professionals, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance companies. Patients are now receiving better patient education because of the efforts of these organizations and health care professionals. Potential patient safety problems could arise when patient adherence in the general population exceeds that of the clinical trial. Depending on the specific medication and medical condition of the patient, there could be a higher risk of adverse drug effects including toxicity.
Dr. Smith urges that "Study participants need to understand the important role they play in the clinical trial and how their actions and feedback will affect the accuracy of the study results as well as the lives of future patients who will be taking the study medication once it has been approved." She recommends that in order to protect the public:
- Patient adherence in clinical trials needs to be increased to a level that will exceed that of the general population
- Clinical trials need to provide patients with information they can understand. The majority of Informed Consent Documents are written in language study patients cannot understand.
- Study investigators must make it "easy" for patients to be more adherent with study medications.
- Medication instructions, reminders, compliance packaging, Smartphone Apps, texting, electronic patient diaries, patient logs are all tools that will motivate them to take the full dose of the medication.
- Study patients need to feel "safe" to provide honest feedback to the clinical trial team regarding any problems they are experiencing with the study drug.
"It's a sobering finding." states Dr. Smith. "I have spent my career trying to help patients take their prescription drugs correctly and to take the recommended dose. Clinical trial investigators need to develop a compliance strategy that will increase patient adherence to a level that will not require an increase in sample size to maintain the power of the study. This will give health professionals assurance that patient safety is not in danger because the dose and adverse event profile would be based on a higher level of study patient adherence than would be expected in the general population after the launch."

Pharmaceutical Medicine
© MMXII V.1.0.2
by Morley Evans
Hi Dorothy,
by Morley Evans
Hi Dorothy,
I am glad to hear from you. Thanks for writing.
Based upon over sixty years of experience in Regina with pharmaceutical medicine, I cannot agree with you. Doctors, not patients, are the problem. Medicine, by which I mean pharmaceutical medicine, in Canada is a vast criminal empire that is protected by public opinion, the bureaucracy, the legislatures, and the judiciary. It is connected to the public treasuries and promoted hour after hour by the Canadian Brainwashing Corporation (CBC) and the rest of the mass media. The end is in sight, fortunately. Canadian medicine does not deliver — and cannot deliver — good health. It is bankrupting the country. It already costs more than everything else combined. Projections show that soon "healthcare" will gobble up 80% of the Ontario budget leaving only 20% for everything else. It has been out of control in Saskatchewan for decades. Regina may have the worst and most corrupt "healthcare" system in the world. Doctors here have been lording it over everyone for a century despite being guilty of the most egregious malpractices. Organized medicine here has arranged to force every complaint into the "legal" system which it controls. Every case that gets to court is dismissed. The annual report of the Canadian Medical Protective Association proves my point. There is no quality control because no one is interested in quality. Medicine here is a racket.
Merck and Pfizer are the worst pharmaceutical companies: they are truly "only in it for the money." Johnson & Johnson is the only good pharmaceutical company I have found. When I discovered I was allergic to Rogaine® and reported it to the FDA, Health Canada and Johnson & Johnson, only the company replied in any meaningful way. I was refunded my purchase price without question. I was thanked for reporting my problem. They wanted to know if I had recovered. (After using Rogaine® for a month, Rogaine® had made me itchy all over. When I stopped using Rogaine® the itching stopped.) I was contacted by many different people at Johnson & Johnson who really seemed to care about me. They didn't tell me I was a liar or that I had not followed instructions, or that I was trying to defraud the company, or that I was crazy.) Maybe it is a corporate con job, but I don't think so. I bless them all. The others could not care less. If your life is destroyed or if you die, too bad for you. They are cursed. The doctors here will pay for their crimes, in this life or the next where they will be chained to the oars of a Roman galley and row across the Lake of Fire, forever. There is no mercy there.

A Proven Migraine Cure
© MMXII V.1.0.6
by Morley Evans
by Morley Evans
The Cancer Industry warns everyone that Gerson therapy doesn't work and that it is harmful besides. On the contrary, there is over one hundred years of solid evidence obtained from practitioners all over the world that Gerson therapy works. There is, as well, over a hundred years of solid evidence that pharmaceutical medicine does not work and is harmful besides.
Dr. Max Gerson started looking for relief from his own migraine headaches and discovered by accident that what cured migraines also cured other diseases. The first of these was cutaneous tuberculosis which was thought to be unrelated to migraine headaches and which was also incurable. What Gerson discovered is that when one gets one's nutrition right, the body heals itself and whatever was wrong disappears: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity and cancer top the list of incurable diseases today that nutrition cures.
Dr. Gerson discovered in an obscure Italian medical journal what Gerson would develop over a lifetime:
The advice of the Italian doctor was to eat only one food and see if the migraines stopped. If migraines did not stop, he suggested trying a different food. If migraines went away, it was time to add another food. If migraines did not return, add another food. If they did return, one would know what to avoid. One must be careful and not cheat. This is called an elimination diet. This is a scientific experiment. Select one food that is a fresh raw fruit or vegetable. Don't start with pork chops or bacon. Believe it or not, you won't die if you do this. Do not consult with your pharmaceutical doctor. He works for your enemy. Your friends won't help you either. You can eat as much as you want of this one food, so you won't be hungry. Dr. Gerson started with apples. Choose organic and fresh.
I am selling Juice PLUS+ which is an easy and affordable way for everyone to get started on the road to good health and long happy lives. Women can enjoy trouble-free pregnancies and deliver healthy babies who will grow up to be healthy adults.
Simply adding Juice PLUS+ to all the bad things most people are exposed to will not work, but once people get started, they usually seek ways to do even more. They stop eating crap that is making them sick. They avoid everything that is advertised. They drink more (filtered) water. They stop taking pharmaceutical drugs. They try to eliminate sugar which is hard because the "food" industry puts sugar into everything. Sugar is just like Heroin (By-the-way, the Bayer Pharmaceutical company used to sell Heroin).
If someone wants to feel better, they can take drugs. If someone wants to get better, they can fix what is wrong. There is a mountain of evidence that a diet rich in fresh raw fruits and vegetables promotes good health. It is a universal prescription available to everyone.
_________________________________________________I am 64 years old. Yet I am healthier than I was when I was 46, or 26 or 16 or 6. I survived Iatrogenesis which nearly ended my life in June 2000 after I had been tortured for eight years. I weighed 125 pounds when I came home from hospital. By the Grace of God, I was able to rebuild my health with exercise and nutrition over the next ten years. Pharmaceutical medicine took 18 years out of my life. They could not care less, proving what they are.
