Romney Shocker
© MMXII V.1.0.0
by Morley Evans
With the U.S. Presidential Election only days away, this news is shocking not so much for what it is about as because it has been totally ignored by the U.S. media. Mitt Romney and his partners made billions from the Detroit bailout, then they fired all the UAW workers, closed all but one GM parts plant, and moved production to China. Is Romney the "turn-around specialist" the United States needs? Why don't you know about this?

Why We Get Fat
© MMXII V.1.0.1

Gary Taubes, a nationally known science writer, gives a lecture about obesity. The event was held at New Brighton School and was sponsored by the Santa Cruz County Office of Education.
Mr. Taubes explains at great length and detail how what was well-known to be the cause of why we get fat was somehow completely forgotten in the 1960s when people in developed countries began to become obese. Five hundred pound people were unknown before fructose became chemically free from glucose. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19626358
While everything Mr. Taubes says is worth hearing, you can "cut to the chase" as they say in movie-land and go to 1:02:23 where you will see this slide and learn the key to getting fat and losing fat. Why this knowledge was lost is an interesting question, itself, but this is what you need to know.

This is the graphic currently being promoted by the United States government to help Americans choose a healthy diet. The government felt that the Food Pyramid was too confusing.
Do you notice anything missing, perhaps wrong?
There are three general categories of nutrition, not counting water or air: carbohydrates, protein and fat. Fruits, Vegetables, and Grains are carbohydrates. Protein is protein, but it usually comes with fat unless one chooses lean as the government and health experts advise. Dairy will certainly be fat-free dairy products like fat free cheese and skim milk. So fat is completely missing, absent, not there, gone.
For decades, everyone's main obsession has been fat. Everyone is trying to lose weight. Everyone believes that they are fat because they eat fat. Everyone has been removing fat but they keep getting fatter. Everyone thinks that fat is cholesterol and they cause heart disease. Fat, fat, fat.
Jack Sprat could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean
And so betwixt the two of them
They licked the platter clean

The Fat Switch

by Morley Evans
Have you ever wondered why bears eat berries in the autumn before they hibernate for the winter? Everyone has always said bears need to put on fat before they hibernate so they can live on their fat. How can a tiny berry, or even gallons of berries help a gigantic bear put on fat? Dr. Richard Johnson knows how. In this interview he tells Dr. Mercola. You can buy Dr. Johnson's new book. He even knows why drinking diet cola makes you fat. You had better find out the connection between what you eat and metabolic syndrome. Here's Dr. Johnson's secret in one word " fructose".

The Imperial Future
© MMXII V.1.0.3
by Morley Evans
Here is the future of the world:
1). Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) will be joined by other countries outside the Empire in refusing to sell to the United States and its empire to avoid accumulating more U.S. dollars which are used to fund "the most powerful military the world has ever known."
2). Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) will be joined by other countries outside the Empire in refusing to buy from the United States and its empire, except raw materials as needed. Fewer and fewer raw materials will be needed from "the world's only remaining superpower" as resources are developed in Asia, South America and Africa.
3). The "world's only remaining superpower" (Washington) will no longer be able to pay for "the most powerful military the world has ever known" or anything else.
4). Americans, themselves, will shun the dollar and Washington's Empire, join the world community, and the money mavens will be gone — out of business, irrelevant and forgotten.
5). maps will change significantly, without war. Don't wait for scoundrels to be swinging from lampposts, as satisfying as that might seem.
Expect this process to be complete in the next 15 years. It is already well underway. The endless wars of "the world's only remaing superpower" are merely futile efforts to avoid extinction by using its only remaining asset. "What good are nuclear weapons if they cannot be used?" Indeed.

Wages
© MMXII V 1.0.5
by Morley Evans
http://corporate.ford.com/news-center/press-releases-detail/677-5-dollar-a-day
Could the policy of greater productivity (defined as more production from fewer workers and a lower aggregate wage bill) result in the contraction of the world economy as demand shrinks because people can afford to buy less? What if everything could be produced by machines owned by a few über rich capitalists and wages were zero? (We should remind ourselves that every scheme to put ownership of "the means of production" into "the hands of the people" has failed miserably.) Who would buy the production? How would they buy? Was Henry Ford a century ahead of his time? Here's a report from the Real News Network:
During the 1930s — like today — the world's financial system was stressed and people everywhere (except Nazi Germany) were suffering through The Great Depression. This period followed The Roaring Twenties which followed The Great War. This has been traced directly back to The Federal Reserve System and policies in Washington. The Great Depression was ended by World War II and the magic of the printing press: there suddenly was lots of money for war materiel and soldiers — just like now!
SIDEBAR: Henry Ford was extremely suspicious of Wall Street, bankers and the Federal Reserve. Ford also didn't like advertising, easy credit, annual model styling changes, planned obsolescence, organized labour, public relations, or war. Ford didn't like people who did like these things, the old fuddy-duddy. Henry Ford didn't like jazz either, but his grandson Henry Ford II liked jazz so much he had a New Orleans jazz band play for his funeral procession which included hundreds of grieving back people. Henry Ford II entered into a partnership that has lasted for 6 decades with the Japanese car manufacturer, Mazda, following The Pacific War.

In 1914, Henry Ford started an industrial revolution by more than doubling wages to $5 a day—a move that helped build the U.S. middle class and the modern economy.
In 1913, to help meet the growing demand for the Model T, Henry Ford turned his attention to improving the manufacturing processes. The business model Ford developed—production on a grand scale, performed by well-paid workers—spread throughout the world and became the manufacturing standard for everything from vacuum sweepers to cars, and more. [Ransom E. Olds, not Henry Ford, actually invented the moving assembly line to make cars. Ford's original assembly lines were manufactured by the Dodge brothers.]

Foreigners Fund U.S. Military
© MMXII V.1.0.5
by Morley Evans
HIGHLIGHTS: According to Michael Hudson, the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) have begun conducting business without the U.S. dollar. Turkey and China just signed an agreement. Japan and China are reaching an agreement. Middle East oil producers are ready to sign. "We do not want any more dollars," they say. That means they will stop selling things to Americans because U.S. dollars are used to buy T-Bills which finance the U.S. debt. They want to stop financing the U.S. Military. The most interesting thing Hudson says is that the U.S. is "muscle bound" and that it cannot afford to invade even Ecuador! When Mao famously said the United States is a "paper tiger", he meant that it is running on paper money. That was in 1971 when Nixon took the United States off the gold standard. Hudson says during the War in Vietnam, the U.S. was using a ton of copper per year for every soldier there. Conventional war is too expensive. Hydrogen bombs are affordable. When foreigners stop paying for the military, Congress and the IRS will try to grind it out of the American middle and lower classes who are already hard-pressed. CONCLUSION: When the money runs out, the Empire is finished. The money ran out long ago and the Empire has living on borrowed time.

Khadr and Black
© MMXII V.1.1.0
by Morley Evans
Canada was never as good as it has always been advertised to be and everyone thinks it is, but Canada is much worse since Steven Harper managed to weasel himself into the Prime Minister's Office. People everywhere can compare the treatment in Canada of Omar Khadr to Conrad Black.
Omar Khadr, after being captured as a child, was imprisoned for years in the infamous GTMO torture centre to force him to make a "confession" to patently ridiculous and indefensible charges. Now after having grown up in GTMO to become a young man, Khadr has been released into the custody of so-called "Canadian justice" after accepting a deal to either "confess" or spend the rest of his life in a U.S. prison somewhere. Omar Khadr is and always was a Canadian citizen. Canada abandoned Khadr, a child, to his tormentors. His treatment should serve as a warning to every Canadian citizen who is not a member of the Canadian élite: you are worthless and there is no justice in Canada where outrages are swept under the carpet. Canada's shameful record has been neatly expunged: one can start with the Indians, one of Canada's three founding races. Look at them.
Conrad Black was imprisoned in a nice place in Florida after having been given a real trial in Chicago where he was charged with lying and stealing his investors' money. In Canada, Black would have never been brought to trial since he is one of the anointed big-wigs. Upon being released, this convicted felon, Black, who relinquished his Canadian citizenship years ago so he could become a member of the British House of Lords, has been welcomed back to Canada where he lives in his mansion in Toronto and appears as a celebrity on the CBC, the Canadian Brainwashing Corporation. Black's career as a bully, con-man, liar and thief, which began when he was a boy, has been documented over the years.
Black is not a Canadian citizen. Black is a big fat liar and a thief convicted of grand larceny in a real trial in a real court. Khadr is a Canadian citizen. His "confession" was made under duress, to put it mildly. Every decent Canadian should be outraged by this travesty. Even some of Canada's élite should be appalled. It exposes Canada for what it is and Canadian institutions for what they are. The people who run Canada tell Canadians to salute the flag, smile proudly and obey them because Canada is good and pure, civilized and law-abiding. That Big Lie is disgusting.

Same Age?

It's Thanksgiving in Canada:
These two people are the same age. The one on the left is me. Thank God.
Twelve years ago I was at death's door — I was in a coma.
Today, at 65, I am healthier than I was at 56, or 6!
Juice PLUS+ is one reason why.

Whether you are young or old, sick or well, you can be better than you are with good nutrition!

Reflections on Islam

posted by Morley Evans
Reflections on Islam by Riazuddin Ahmed
The Quran gives titles to various prophets. For example Abraham (peace be on him) is Khalil-ullah (friend of God), Moses (pbh) is Kalim-ullah (one who spoke with God), Mohammad (pbh) is Rasool-Allah (messanger of God), and Jesus (pbh) is Rooh-Allah (spirit of God), in another place in the Quran he is referred to as "Ayat-ullah (Revelation from God).
So in the Quranic context, Jesus (pbh) is demonstrating the spirit of God through his teaching of love for fellow man, and to forgive those who wrong you just as you expect God to forgive you for your wrongs, Jesus cures the leper, raises Lazarus after death, etc. with the permission of God, according to the Quran.
Then as a "Revelation from God" (Ayat-ullah) Jesus (pbh) lives a life example as God wills for us to live, and his words are God's revelations. Jesus is also "A word from God" - for when Mary (peace be upon her) said how I can be with a child when no man has touched me, Angel replied when God wills he says "be" and it "is"!! "A word of God".
Muslims also believe that a true God does not need the ancient practice of human sacrifice to gain His pleasure. But human faith and piety as described in the story of Abraham and the attempted sacrifice of his son to please his God (Abraham's (pbh) ancient mind directing him ) that is replaced by a ram!!! Moral of the story: It was the false gods who allowed human to be sacrificed at their altars, true God doesn't need human sacrifice to be pleased.
Quran also teaches that the children don't carry their father's sin. So Adam's sin is not borne by his children. We are not borne in sin, but innocent and upright according to the Quran. It is after we have become mature enough to make right and wrong decisions that we begin to commit sins.
Therefore, Believe in an all merciful God, and by cultivating God consciousnesses ( daily regular prayer to seek guidance for the straight path), service to fellow man, and sincere repentance when aware of sinning that we can win God's pleasure and salvation.
But we are weak and prone to sin, so Muslims believe in the intercession of the Prophet (pbh) on the day of Judgement for all mankind for God's forgiveness. So according to a Hadith (saying of the prophet), all human beings who have an atom's weight of goodness will be forgiven. Amen!! Except those who are mentioned in the Quran as beyond salvation.
Muslims also await the second coming of Jesus, as his mission was incomplete. To establish the kingdom of God through humankind voluntarily submitting their will to the Will of God.

4 Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.
6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

U.S. Productivity
© MMXII V.1.1.0
Posted by Morley Evans
These figures are disturbing, even for members of the 1% who are doing just fine, thank you. Members of the 99% are concerned as their prospects grow dimmer every day. What will happen when the financial bubble bursts? It will burst. Will the 1% manage to start WW III to save itself? They are trying. Saving them is what war on Iran — which has never done anything to anyone — is about. Israel exists merely as a pretext. It has no real power and it doesn't control the Empire, sorry to tell you that, Bibi.
By the way, that's me at the bottom on the line entitled "Median male compensation." If you are male and aren't a master of the financial sector, you are probably down there with me. Hello. If you are awake and speak out against The System, you will have been lynched to warn others not to do that or you will have been quietly murdered in some dark alley if you have no symbolic importance to anyone. Hello.
If you are a man, you have no rights because men are a threat to the 1% who would own everything and everyone. Males are bulls (of course most males are steers or veal). Our owners don't like us, but some males are necessary for now. Our owners love the contented cows in their dairy herd. Moo.
Welcome to 1984.

These figures are disturbing, even for members of the 1% who are doing just fine, thank you. Members of the 99% are concerned as their prospects grow dimmer every day. What will happen when the financial bubble bursts? It will burst. Will the 1% manage to start WW III to save itself? They are trying. Saving them is what war on Iran — which has never done anything to anyone — is about. Israel exists merely as a pretext. It has no real power and it doesn't control the Empire, sorry to tell you that, Bibi.
By the way, that's me at the bottom on the line entitled "Median male compensation." If you are male and aren't a master of the financial sector, you are probably down there with me. Hello.

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the haircut, he asked for his bill and the barber replied, "I cannot accept money from you today. I'm doing community service this week." The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen tulips waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop came in for a haircut and when he tried to pay his bill, the barber again replied, "I cannot accept money from you today. I'm doing community service this week." The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Then a Member of Parliament came in for a haircut and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, "I cannot accept money from you today. I'm doing community service this week." The politician was very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Members of Parliament lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.
