How Money Is Created As A Debt By Private Banks
This is the story of how private banks force most of us into the vicious, enslaving circle, in which you have long been feeling trapped. Working your ass off for six days a week only to be able to pay the rent, the gas, the bills and very little more. If getting a mortgage to buy a house means signing a slavery contract for the rest of your life, maybe THERE IS something deeply wrong with the economics of our system and the way create debt out of money THEY DO NOT OWN.
Light Pulses Knock Out Viruses
A pulse of purple-colored laser-light applied to viruses, called M13 bacteriophages, destroyed the viruses completely. The power density of the light is low enough that it does not damage surrounding cells and tissue, but high enough to produce large-amplitude vibrations in the virus’ shell, which causes it to disintegrate.
Of course his is the kind of discovery for which Royal Raymond Rife with his "beam ray" device was run out of town and pretty much crucified, in the first part of the 20th century.
Are Your Cell Phone and Laptop Bad for Your Health?
A growing number of scientists, along with a diverse collection of technology critics, are pointing out that our bodies constantly generate electrical pulses as part of their normal functioning. They maintain that incoming radiation from modern technology may be fouling those signals. But with hundreds of billions in sales at stake, the communications industry (and more than a few scientists) insist that radio-frequency radiation can't have biological effects unless it's intense enough to heat your flesh or organs, in the way a microwave oven cooks meat.
Electronic smog linked to respiratory disease
Electrical fields from computers, televisions and other everyday equipment can give people asthma, influenza and other respiratory diseases, a startling new study suggests. The research, by scientists at Imperial College London, provides academic backing for one of the more controversial claims of campaigners against the thickening electro-smog from sources such as mobile phones and their masts, Wi-Fi systems and household electrical devices.
German Federal Government warns of Wireless networks
The crucial sentence in the answer of the Federal Government, which might cause unease among home net workers and get the PC specialized trade up in arms, reads: "the Federal Government generally recommends to keep the personal radiation exposure through high frequency electromagnetic fields as small as possible, i.e. to prefer conventional cable links if possible, without the use of radio-based solutions." In other words: The beautiful wireless world, where one sits on the sofa with the laptop on the knees, as in countless advertising spots, is too dangerous, says the Federal Government.
Canadian University Bans Wireless Networking, Citing Health Concerns
The president of Lakehead University, in southwestern Ontario, says that he will not allow the institution to deploy a wireless network on the campus out of concern that the electromagnetic frequencies such systems emit could endanger students' health. The president, Frederick F. Gilbert, became concerned about the health effects of wireless networks after reading studies done by scientists for the California Public Utilities Commission, said Marla Tomlinson, a spokeswoman at Lakehead, a 7,000-student institution in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The California scientists concluded that people exposed to electromagnetic wavelengths might be at risk of developing cancer and recommended further investigation.
Monsanto Goes GMO-Free - in its Cafeteria
From now on, staff at the British headquarters of biotech giant Monsanto will be eating only non-genetically modified products on their lunch breaks. Foods containing genetically modified soy and corn are no longer available in the company cafeteria. Granada Food Services, which manages the canteen, is said to be concern
