HEALTH and HEALTHIER TALK

 
 

1. Air fresheners:

Often contain napthelene and formaldehyde. Try zeolite or natural fragrances from essential oils.

2. Art supplies:

Epoxy and rubber cement glues, acrylic paints and solvents, and permanent markers often contain carcinogens.

3. Automotive supplies: Most are toxic. Keep them safely away from the house and dispose of at a hazardous waste disposal center.

the concept of a white, blond–haired, blue–eyed master Nordic race didn’t originate with Hitler. The idea was created in the United States, and cultivated in California, decades before Hitler came to power.

Chossudovsky: US will start WW3 by attacking Iran (VIDEO)

EXCELLENT: THE PLAN, BY EDWIN BLACK  The book’s starting point is America’s (in)ability to cope with an acute fuel crisis. It does thus not start off with the  ordinary peak oil scenario based on a relatively slow decline in global production but rather takes as its starting point a rather sudden change for the worse. ‘Oil will ‘peak’ the very hour a person cannot pump a gallon of gas or buy bread on an unstocked supermarket shelf because someone thousands of miles away has cut the lines of supply’.
My comment: Edwin Black is also the author of ‘IBM And The Holocaust’, a stunning book, which documents the involvement of IBM in providing database resources to the Third Reich.
