Why is that Boy a Girl? Part 2

Back in November 2009, I posted and article on this blog entitled, 'Why is that Boy a Girl?' Go back through the archives and check it out. Here is a followup on that topic which has to do with the biological manipulation of the human population through environmental toxicity, vaccines, gmo foods, electro-magnetic radiation, etc.

Why some boys have breasts
If Hillary Clinton were president, I'd say there was a conspiracy at hand -- a conspiracy to change the few remaining men in this country into tree-hugging, rainbow-wearing fruitcakes.
Conspiracy or no, there's still an all-out assault on the male population. Men are exposed to estrogen at every turn, from birth to the grave -- and we're only just beginning to feel the effects. From low sperm counts, to increased testicular cancers, to increased numbers of homosexuals, men are fighting a losing battle.
I've already warned you about soy and BPA. Now, there's another chemical to avoid at all costs.
The latest research links phthalates, a common chemical found in plastics, to abnormal breasts in boys -- a "budding" problem today. (Heck, some of these feminized little lads should be fitted for training bras!)
When researchers compared 40 boys with abnormal breast growth to 21 boys without the condition, they found that the boys with boobs had between 2.8 and 25 times the levels of phthalates than those with normal flat chests.
Because phthalates soften plastics, they're in everything from shower curtains to plastic wrap to food containers. They're also used to stabilize scents -- which means you find them in fragrance-based products like perfume and shampoo.
So what should you do? For starters, the less plastic you use, the better. Whenever you can, stick to products that come in glass containers. And if you're eating food from the perimeter of your grocery store, you won't have to worry as much about the chemicals from the cans and jars.
If you stop purchasing products that contain phthalates, the manufacturers will take notice. BPA is a perfect example of that.
Even though the FDA has refused to regulate this cancer- causing, estrogen-mimicking toxin, more and more manufacturers are voluntarily doing away with it -- not because they care about your health, but because they're focused on the bottom line.
But does it really matter why? For you, the end result is the same.

2200 US Swine Flu Deaths Among Those Who Received the Vaccine!

If you are like 80% of the American people, you never received the swine flu vaccine. Maybe you read this blog, or you heard others who were debunking the scare tactics of the government who were trying to herd the whole world into accepting the untested unproven novel flu vaccine. So you never got the shot, but you have been wondering whether or not you did the right thing. Now we know that approximately 2200 of the 11,000 flu deaths in this country occurred among those who were vaccinated! The vaccine does not work! It's a fraud and a scam! You were right not to roll up your sleeve. The vaccine has no more than a 1% effectiveness rate! It's the same trick from 1976 all over again. So just keep taking your Vitamin D and don't worry about it any more.

Thousands Who Received H1N1 Vaccine Died Anyway!

NaturalNews) The CDC is engaged in a very clever, statistically devious spin campaign, and nearly every journalist in the mainstream media has fallen for its ploy. No one has yet reported what I'm about to reveal here.It all started with the CDC's recent release of new statistics about swine flu fatalities, infection rates and vaccination rates. According to the CDC:• 61 million Americans were vaccinated against swine flu (about 20% of the U.S. population). The CDC calls this a "success" even though it means 4 out of 5 people rejected the vaccines.• 55 million people "became ill" from swine flu infections.• 246,000 Americans were hospitalized due to swine flu infections.• 11,160 Americans died from the swine flu.Base on these statistics, the CDC is now desperately urging people to get vaccinated because they claim the pandemic might come back and vaccines are the best defense.But here's the part you're NOT being told.The CDC statistics lie by omission. They do not reveal the single most important piece of information about H1N1 vaccines: How many of the people who died from the swine flu had already been vaccinated?
Many who died had already been vaccinatedThe CDC is intentionally not tracking how many of the dead were previously vaccinated. They want you (and mainstream media journalists) to mistakenly believe that ZERO deaths occurred in those who were vaccinated. But this is blatantly false. Being vaccinated against H1N1 swine flu offers absolutely no reduction in mortality from swine flu infections.And that means roughly 20% of the 11,160 Americans who died from the swine flu were probably already vaccinated against swine flu. That comes to around 2,200 deaths in people who were vaccinated!How do I know that swine flu vaccines don't reduce infection mortality? Because I've looked through all the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials that have ever been conducted on H1N1 vaccines. It didn't take me very long, because the number of such clinical trials is ZERO.That's right: There is not a single shred of evidence in existence today that scientifically supports the myth that H1N1 vaccines reduce mortality from H1N1 infections. The best evidence I can find on vaccines that target seasonal flu indicates a maximum mortality reduction effect of somewhere around 1% of those who are vaccinated. The other 99% have the same mortality rate as people who were not vaccinated.So let's give the recent H1N1 vaccines the benefit of the doubt and let's imagine that they work just as well as other flu vaccines. That means they would reduce the mortality rate by 1%. So out of the 2,200 deaths that took place in 2009 in people who were already vaccinated, the vaccine potentially may have saved 22 people.
61 million injections add up to bad public health policySo let's see: 61 million people are injected with a potentially dangerous vaccine, and the actual number "saved" from the pandemic is conceivably just 22. Meanwhile, the number of people harmed by the vaccine is almost certainly much, much higher than 22. These vaccines contain nervous system disruptors and inflammatory chemicals that can cause serious health problems. Some of those problems won't be evident for years to come... future Alzheimer's victims, for example, will almost certainly those who received regular vaccines, I predict.Injecting 61 million people with a chemical that threatens the nervous system in order to avoid 22 deaths -- and that's the best case! -- is an idiotic public health stance. America would have been better off doing nothing rather than hyping up a pandemic in order to sell more vaccines to people who don't need them. Better yet, what the USA could have done that would have been more effective is handing out bottles of Vitamin D to 61 million people. At no more cost than the vaccines, the bottles of vitamin D supplements would have saved thousands of lives and offered tremendously importantly additional benefits such as preventing cancer and depression, too.
The one question the CDC does not want you to askThrough its release of misleading statistics, the CDC wants everyone to believe that all of the people who died from H1N1 never received the H1N1 vaccine. That's the implied mythology behind the release of their statistics. And yet they never come right out and say it, do they? They never say, "None of these deaths occurred in patients who had been vaccinated against H1N1."They can't say that because it's simply not true. It would be a lie. And if that lie were exposed, people might begin to ask questions like, "Well gee, if some of the people who were killed by the swine flu were already vaccinated against swine flu, then doesn't that mean the vaccine doesn't protect us from dying?"That's the number one question that the CDC absolutely, positively does not want people to start asking.So they just gloss over the point and imply that vaccines offer absolute protection against H1N1 infections. But even the CDC's own scientists know that's complete bunk. Outright quackery. No vaccine is 100% effective. In fact, when it comes to influenza, no vaccine is even 10% effective at reducing mortality. There's not even a vaccine that's 5% effective. And there's never been a single shred of credible scientific information that says a flu vaccine is even 1% effective.So how effective are these vaccines, really? There are a couple thousand vaccinated dead people whose own deaths help answer that question: They're not nearly as effective as you've been led to believe.They may not be effective at all.
Crunching the numbers: Why vaccines just don't add upThink about this: 80% of Americans refused to get vaccinated against swine flu. That's roughly 240 million people.Most of those 240 million people were probably exposed to the H1N1 virus at some point over the last six months because the virus was so widespread.How many of those 240 million people were actually killed by H1N1? Given the CDC's claimed total of deaths at 11,160, if you take 80% of that (because that's the percentage who refused to be vaccinated), you arrive at 8,928. So roughly 8,900 people died out of 240 million. That's a death rate among the un-vaccinated population of .0000372With a death rate of .0000372, the swine flu killed roughly 1 out of every 26,700 people who were NOT vaccinated. So even if you skipped the vaccine, you had a 26,699 out of 26,700 chance of surviving.Those are pretty good odds. Ridiculously good. You have a 700% greater chance of being struck by lightning in your lifetime, by the way.What it all means is that NOT getting vaccinated against the swine flu is actually a very reasonable, intelligent strategy for protecting your health. Mathematically, it is the smarter play.Because, remember: Some of the dead victims of H1N1 got vaccinated. In fact, I personally challenge the CDC to release statistics detailing what percentage of the dead people had previously received such vaccines.The headline to this article, "Thousands of Americans died from H1N1 even after receiving vaccine shots" is a direct challenge to the CDC, actually. If the CDC believes this headline is wrong -- and that the number of vaccinated Americans who died from H1N1 is zero -- then why don't they say so on the record?The answer? Because they'd be laughed right out of the room. Everybody who has been following this with any degree of intelligence knows that the H1N1 vaccine was a medical joke from the start. There is no doubt that many of those who died from H1N1 were previously vaccinated. The CDC just doesn't want you to know how many (and they hope you'll assume it's zero).
Where are all the real journalists?I find it especially fascinating that the simple question of "How many of the dead were previously vaccinated?" has never been asked in print by a single journalist in any mainstream newspaper or media outline across the country. Not the NY Times, not WashingtonPost.com, not the WSJ, LA Times or USA Today. (At least, not that I'm aware of. If you find one that does, let me know and I'll link to their article!)Isn't there a single journalist in the entire industry that has the journalistic courage to ask this simple question of the CDC? Why do these mainstream journalists just reprint the CDC's statistics without asking a single intelligent question about them?Why is all the intelligent, skeptical reporting about H1N1 found only in the alternative press or independent media sites?You already know the answer, but I'll say it anyway: Because most mainstream media journalists are just part of the propaganda machine, blindly reprinting distorted statistics from "authorities" without ever stopping to question those authorities.The MSM today, in other words, is often quite pathetic. Far from the independent media mindset that used to break big stories like Watergate, today's mainstream media is little more than a mouthpiece for the corporatocracy that runs our nation. The MSM serves the financial interests of the corporations, just as the CDC and WHO do. That's why they're all spouting the same propaganda with their distorted stories about H1N1 swine flu.But those who are intelligent enough to ask skeptical questions about H1N1 already realize what an enormous con the pandemic was. In the end, it turned out to be a near-harmless virus that was hyped up by the CDC, WHO and drug companies in order to sell hundreds of millions of doses of vaccines that are now about to be dumped down the drain as useless.Sources for this story include:CNNhttp://edition.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/...Washington Posthttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy...

'Comfort Foods' Cause Depression

Could your unhealthy diet be the reason for your mood disorder? And maybe you were thinking that your 'comfort foods' were helping to make things better. Just the opposite may be true. Check this article out that details the findings in a recent study of the relationship of diet to mood. Is it really surprising that junk food produces junky emotions? It makes sense since we know the brain is the most metabolically active organ in the body and is effected first by any dietary deficiency.

Unhealthy diets could fuel female depression
By Daily Mail Reporter

14th January 2010
Research found mood disorders were more common among women who ate high-fat and sugary foods
Women who suffer from depression may be fuelling it with a diet of unhealthy, processed foods, a new study has shown.
Researchers from the University of Melbourne found that mood disorders were more common among women aged 20 to 93 who, over 10 years, ate primarily processed, refined, high-fat foods.
'There's no magic diet,' Dr Felice Jacka said, but added eating a diet mainly of vegetables, fruit, whole grain foods, low fat dairy products, and lean meat, and reserving processed and sweet treats to 'sometimes foods,' will aid physical health and may also support mental well-being.
Jacka's team assessed diet and psychiatric evaluations gathered over 10 years from 1,046 women.
A total of 925 women were free of mood disorders, whereas 121 had depressive and/or anxiety disorders, the researchers reported in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
When they assessed how diet might relate to mood disorders, they found that a 'Western' diet - eating primarily hamburgers, white bread, pizza, chips, flavoured milk drinks, beer, and sugar-laden foods - was associated with more than a 50 percent greater likelihood for depressive disorders.
By contrast, both depression and anxiety disorders appeared about 30 percent less likely among women eating a more 'traditional' Australian diet - mostly of vegetables, fruit, beef, lamb, fish, and wholegrain foods.
These associations remained when the research team allowed for a variety of factors including age, body weight, social and economic status, education, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol drinking habits.
But similar 'adjusted' analyses in women mainly consuming fruits, salads, fish, tofu, beans, nuts, yogurt, and red wine showed no similar associations.
The researchers said the findings highlighted the need for additional investigations to determine whether unhealthy eating leads to declining mental health or vice versa.

Statement by Wyclef Jean on Haiti Earthquake

STATEMENT BY WYCLEF JEAN ON HAITI EARTHQUAKE
Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 02:05PM
“Haiti today faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the country has ever experienced. The magnitude 7.0 earthquake – and several very strong aftershocks – struck only 10 miles from Port-au-Prince. I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone. We must act now. President Obama has already said that the U.S. stands ‘ready to assist’ the Haitian people. The U.S. Military is the only group trained and prepared to offer that assistance immediately. They must do so as soon as possible. The international community must also rise to the occasion and help the Haitian people in every way possible.” Many people have already reached out to see what they can do right now. We are asking those interested to please do one of two things: Either you can use your cell phone to text “Yele” to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund (it will be charged to your cell phone bill), or you can click here to DONATE.Thank you,WyclefThe regular Yele Haiti website will resume in a couple of weeks. In the meantime our focus is on providing real-time information about the situation in Haiti.

Famine on the Horizon 2010

This blog has featured a number of articles and posts emphasizing the absolute necessity to take action now to make sure you and your family have something to eat - no matter what. We have highlighted Growing Power's food revolution and Will Allen, as well as many other aspects of this looming global problem that is best characterized by an unfamiliar term, famine. The following article from Britain's Guardian Newspaper has a headline that says it all. People may not be ready to riot over political or economic issues, but when there is no food to eat - that changes everything. No government can rule a people it cannot feed. Self-sufficiency in food is the mark of true independence whether it is a nation or an individual. Food dependency is slavery and ultimately death. The harsh winter we are experiencing is showing us how fragile our life line of food actually is.

Nine meals from anarchy
A cold snap shows how fragile our supply of food and fuel is. We need a more sustainable system
11 January 2010 21.30 GMT

'Man has lost the ­capacity to ­foresee and forestall," wrote Albert Schweitzer. A colossal banking crisis and a big freeze in the middle of what was meant to be a mild winter don't encourage confidence to the contrary.
Reassurance is fine as long as it's well founded. And in the midst of fears about gas supplies and the panic buying of food Gordon Brown is hardly likely to scream that we are all doomed. It is, after all, his job to tell us that all will be well. But will it? People were shocked at the scale of social breakdown when Hurricane Katrina revealed a long-term, creeping erosion of civic resilience. Are we just waking up to the fact that several wrong turns have left our essential supplies much more vulnerable than they need to be?
In 2004 Britain ceased to be able to meet its energy needs domestically. Since then our dependence on imports, particularly of natural gas, has risen dramatically. The situation can only worsen as gas is subject to the same iron law of depletion as oil, and its moment of peak production lags not far behind.
Similarly, Britain's ability to feed itself has been in long-term decline, and food prices are reportedly rising in the cold spell. It was only two years ago that droughts in Australia caused a crisis in world grain supplies; in April 2008 food crises affected at least 37 countries and there were related riots in many. As climate change and volatile oil prices destabilise global agriculture, we are becoming more dependent on food and energy imports just as the geopolitics of both make it less likely that the world will generously meet our needs.
This year is the 10th anniversary of the fuel protests, when supermarket bosses sat with ministers and civil servants in Whitehall warning that there were just three days of food left. We were, in effect, nine meals from anarchy. Suddenly, the apocalyptic visions of novelists and film-makers seemed less preposterous. Civilisation's veneer may be much thinner than we like to think.
Part of the problem lies in the infrastructure that emerges from a market system focused on narrow cost savings. The result is easily disrupted just-in-time supermarket food supply lines, and a risky assumption that anything we need can easily be bought on global markets. The latter becomes problematic when in response to global shortages, governments around the world understandably choose to meet their domestic needs first. In Britain, not only are our strategic fuel reserves low by international comparison, our strategic food reserves are history.
One response to the vulnerability revealed in 2008 has been the rise of the so-called land grab. Several wealthy countries and companies have targeted up to 20m hectares of productive farmland in poor countries for acquisition and control. In Madagascar, public outcry led to the government's fall.
As a child I was quietly haunted by Doris Lessing's book The Memoirs of a Survivor. Society had broken down, and people were on the move, displaced amid an increasingly brutal disorder. The presiding government was useless but just about able to "adjust itself to events, while pretending probably even to itself that it initiated them".
Events are revealing that many of the things we take for granted, like bank accounts, fuel and food, are vulnerable. If we value civilisation, the litmus test for economic success should not be short-term profitability, but resilience in the face of climatic extremes and resource shortages. When Gordon Brown meets Cobra, the civil contingencies committee, this week, item one should be the transition to a more sustainable food and energy system.

Swine Flu Update: D225G Mutation in Brazil

Once again, Dr Henry Niman is out front keeping us abreast of all that is new in the still on-going Swine Flu epidemic. The major media are largely silent and are mostly concerned with the vaccine scammers backstabbing one another. The marketing campaign to convince the public of the world's nations that they must be vaccinated against the Swine Flu has been a miserable failure. Now governments are backing out of production contracts they signed months ago with the big vaccine manufacturers. Expect big law suites as inventories grow of unused and unsaleable vaccine lots. They're talking about shipping it all off to 'third world' countries as 'foreign aid'. But the real story centers around the severe and fatal cases that are still occurring around the world in many countries caused by a viral mutation called D225G. Now D225G has showed up in fatal cases in Brazil which is a long way from Ukraine and other Eastern European countries where it first appeared. This may mean that a fatal mutated virus is spreading, and there is the possibility that it may replace the milder form that has been wide-spread so far. In that event, the death rate may sky-rocket. Let us hope that that does not happen.

But the news from Brazil is not good.

Identical H1N1 Fatal D225G Sequences in Brazil and Ukraine

Recombinomics Commentary 14:39January 11, 2010

Recent sequences from five fatal cases in Brazil were released, including an HA sequence with D225G, a polymorphism which had only been seen in fatal cases in Brazil. This 100% case fatality rate linked to samples with D225 or D225N has been reported for several countries, but in many instances the origin of the sample has been the affected tissue. This might skew data toward fatal cases because most milder cases are diagnosed via nasopharyngeal swabs which may have lower levels of H1N1 with D225G. However, the Brazilian sample, A/ Rio de Janeiro/5826/2009 was a nasopharyngeal swab, demonstrating that D225G could be identified through an upper respiratory source commonly used for milder cases. However, the sequence in the July sample from Brazil was an exact match with A/Lviv/N6/2009, which was from the lung of a fatal case in Ukraine, collected in late October. This identity provides additional evidence supporting the spread of these sequences, which is further supported by matches between more localized sequences.However, the WHO working hypothesis maintains that the changes at position 225 are random errors that do not transmit. The matches such as the one above, or the same change in closely related sequences that are close in time and space, are simply coincidences generating independently again and again by copy errors. This unlikely scenario is cited because these changes are appended onto different genetic backgrounds. In Brazil the background in Rio de Janeiro with D225G is distinct from the two sequences in Sao Paulo with D225G. Moreover, there have been many additional examples of jumps from one genetic background to another, which is most easily explained by recombination. However, WHO consultants insist that recombination plays little or no role in genetic drift, which is solely driven by random copy errors.As more data accumulates, this random mutation hypothesis becomes less and less tenable. In addition to the above sequence from Brazil, recent sequences from Ukraine and Moldova have two or more changes at position 225, further diminishingly the explanation of random mutations. In Ukraine, these new sequences demonstrated that the reports of position 225 changes paralleled the spread of the outbreak and associated fatalities. Initial sequences were from western Ukraine and involved HA sequences with D225G or D225N. Subsequent sequences from Kviv and Chernihiv had both changes in the same patient, which would require two random errors that coincidently targeted the same position in the same patient. Moreover, the Kyiv patient also has D225A requiring three random errors at the same position. Examples of multiple changes at the same position in the same patient have been reported in patients in the United States, Mexico, and Sweden, which are unlikely to be generated by the same random errors repeated again and again.These changes are associated with a case fatality rate of 100% in many countries, including Ukraine and Brazil and raise serious concerns. The WHO effort of shoring up an untenable hypothesis is hazardous to the world's health.
