paragraphs = 5 Dynamic Announcement insertion point With all of the vitamins and supplements going around these days, it is hard to decide which ones are real and which of these are simply a scam. The number of scams seems to be going up these past several years because of the huge boom in field of nutrition, but all of this does not mean there aren’t quality products. Simply look at Max International and their MaxGXL. This product has been receiving

Kurt Nimmo Infowars October 8, 2009The latest endeavor of Alex Jones, Fall of the Republic, will make you angry. How can it not? It lays out in precise detail the long-running plot by a cabal of global elitists to take over the world and deliver humanity into grinding slavery and usher in a new Dark Age. It spells out how the elite have worked tirelessly to bankrupt a once proud, industrious, and self-reliant nation through financial terrorism.

“This blessed Earth has given us many wonderful foods. I believe our trust is best placed in foods the way Nature intends, not in products concocted in laboratories by multinational corporations trying to exploit the vegetarian market. ” ~ John Robbins, Author The Food Revolution & Healthy at 100 Rarely do I choose to write here about the actually mechanics of vegetarianism, mostly because I don’t like labels and definitions and because I figure that people can work things out for themselves.

Texas Governor Rick Perry replaced three members of a panel which was investigating Cameron Todd Willingham’s 2004 execution for the murder of his family by arson. Why are people saying this is a cover up? – Perry had denied a last minute appeal which had included a report by an arson expert debunking the junk science used to convict Willingham. – Perry is running for re-election in 2010, and now has the uncomfortable distinction of being labeled the governor who allowed his state to execute an innocent man without lifting a finger to stop it.

By SETH BORENSTEIN (AP) – 1 hour ago WASHINGTON — NASA’s great lunar fireworks finale fizzled. After gearing up for the space agency’s much-hyped mission to hurl two spacecraft into the moon, the public turned away from the sky Friday anything but dazzled. Photos and video of the impact showed little more than a fuzzy white flash. In social media and live television coverage, many people were disappointed at the lack of spectacle. One person even joked that someone hit the pause button in mission control.

And don’t die of vaccination, and don’t die of Tamiflu. Now I’m back in the Netherlands, after experiencing the weird commercials they have on prescription drugs, and the vaccination hype in America, it seems they want to enforce vaccination in the Netherlands! And just as I thought that for once the Netherlands was staying cool about this hype, it seems that was just the silence before the storm. I have some things to show about vaccinations: The truth from an ex-pharma pusher: very interesting! The Pharma industrie is out to keep us sick, not to make us better.

I’d like to start today’s blog by thanking the Prison Blog ( genpop.org ) for mentioning Bike Blast 2009 , which is having a Poker Run to benefit the Innocence Project of Florida. We are very grateful for the support! Moving on – Well, there isn’t really much to say about Cameron Todd Willingham, wrongfully executed in Texas . But that’s the shocker – nothing has happened. There still has been no official admittance of wrongful execution.

The improbable story that Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize obscured the actually far stranger story that we, um, bombed the moon last night. NASA crashed a piece of space junk into the moon’s south pole this morning to find out if the dark, cold craters there contain water in the form of ice. The impact of the 2.2-ton empty rocket part kicked up a cloud of dust. Then, a second spacecraft flew down through that dust, checking for water, and sent data and live footage of the crash back to Earth.

Don’t throw away your tool belt just yet… but with all the cool new home improvement apps floating around out there, you might want to find a spot for your iPhone in between your tape measure and your awl. With 35,000 total apps to choose from, some practical and some down right stupid (see “Pull My Finger” app), you’ll need an app to sort through your apps. Hey, that’s not a bad idea! Make that 35,001. Until my new app for apps is available for download, here are the top 6 best home improvement-related apps that are to DIY for.

The Register has an interesting summary of a recent University of Toronto study: Psychologists in Canada have revealed new research suggesting that people who become eco-conscious “green consumers” are “more likely to steal and lie” than others. The new study comes from professor Nina Mazar of the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management and her colleague Chen-Bo Zhong. “Those lyin’, cheatin’ green consumers,” begins the statement from the university.

For people who have sworn off weight-loss diets, principles of nutrition can seem like just another set of eating rules to rebel against. The idea behind the non-diet approach is that you can trust your inborn body wisdom to tell you when and what to eat. If that’s true, then why do you need to learn anything? Isn’t this an intuitive, non-thinking approach? Plus, with all the contradictory advice out there, is there really such a thing as “good nutrition”? There is not one single nutrition principle that isn’t contested by someone somewhere.

Watch it at http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html Nothing much, is the answer I think you’re looking for. Except for tides, maybe – and the last time I checked the jury was still out on whether they were of any use to anyone except surfers. And yet we’ve named an entire day after the moon. Not just a once-a-year day either. A once-a-weeker. (I’ll let you guess which one – answers on a postcard addressed to Eskom, please.) I’m sure you’ve seen the details of the matter covered elsewhere, perhaps even in the pages of this very publication.

Former Vice President and “climate change” profiteer Al Gore swoops in to Madison today, bringing his special blend of liberal guilt, hypocrisy, and junk science in his keynote speech to a group of environmental journalists meeting in the Capitol City. Madison could not be more thrilled. Oh, and Barack Hussein Soetorobama won the Nobel Peace Prize . Greatest human being who ever graced the earth with his presence. It’s impossible for mere mortals like ourselves to comprehend his awesome awesomeness.

The results aren’t final yet, but I’m beginning to suspect that I might be. Jacob’s mum is always more finely tuned to the nuances of those around her. It takes me a while longer to notice the secretive glances and the subtle berth that separates us from the normals. But it’s there. Young, handsome and charming. I’ve been trying a little bit to understand why, but not much.

It may be difficult for you to understand why anyone would want to give away or to sell their family photographs, but just as there are people that are willing to sell their family photography, there are also people out there who are interested in buying up these old antique photographs even though they are of complete strangers. There are people that are collecting antique photography, and they are actually just as diverse as the images that they are collecting.

Another heap of junk is about to collide at high velocity with the Moon to test a theory about ice possibly lying in abundance near its poles. This is important for any humans who are planning to exploit it in the near future, not in the least because they’ll need ice in their cokes when the Sun is high. I hope any sentient creature there will get an inkling of disaster before it gets spread into infinitesimally small, some probably twitching pieces – as cows sense an approaching storm.

Picking up a book called “Weird Florida” while on vacation there, I came across the story of the former Xanadu house in Kissimmee, Florida. The Xanadu House, reportedly named for the summer residence of Kublai Khan, was the brain child of builder Bob Masters and architect Roy Mason. Masters was primarily concerned with showcasing his technique for rigid foam construction, but Mason’s vision of the future turned the unusual show-house into a tourism phenomenon, attracting more than 1,000 visitors a day at its peak.

The fact is there are 5 diseases that are fatal to humans, the first one is heart attack, the second is cancer, then stroke, lung disease and last but moving up fast in the list is diabetes. The fatal five share two common elements, Free-radicals and inflammation. Free-radicals are molecules or atoms that are missing an electron, the free-radicals attack any healthy cells they come in contact with and steal an electron causing damage to the cell membrane.

If you read anything by Esther Hicks or her Abraham teachings , you’ll quickly learn that the secret of the law of attraction lies in our ability to resonate a particular vibration or frequency that is in tune with our desires. Basically, we are all made of energy at our core – and those molecules that make up our being on a quantum level are constantly in motion. While, yes, I agree that science says we are all made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons in constant motion, I have a difficult time believing that my thoughts can change how, specifically, all those particles that make up my body vibrate.

“What you want is to add and subtract lengths of input DNA easily, and the feedback enzyme arrangement does this. When the feedback arrangement is in place, the molecule will open itself up for transcription much more easily, and more rapidly. Your program will be transcribed onto two strings of RNA. One of the RNA strings will go to a reader – a ribosome – for translation into a protein.

This is Sheldon Kannegiesser . In the 1970s he was a stay at home defenseman best remembered with the Los Angeles Kings. He wasn’t the flashiest defender on the ice, but he was a steady and reliable performer who the coach could count on day in and day out. To the fans, he is simply remembered as “the guy with the big name.” Kannegiesser retired from pro hockey in 1978. He’s remained in California ever since, raising his two boys and pursuing several business interests.
The moon – that nocturnal inspiration to poets and lovers for centuries – was viciously attacked yesterday morning at 7:31 EST by Muslim terrorist Barack HUSSEIN Obama and his co-conspirators within THE GOVERNMENT.
A clear message has been sent by this radical jihadist to good and decent people everywhere. There is no room for misinterpretation: if they can target the moon – THE MOON! – in such a ghastly and unprovoked matter, it proves – conclusively – that Main Street is not safe. All of us are vulnerable to their insidious wickedness and villainy. Our children must be protected from the radical, hideous agenda of this man and his vile administration. Mark my words, my fellow Americans – today the moon, tomorrow Anytown, USA. OH, THE HUMANITY!
Where will it all end? What sinister plans does he have in store for Christendom? Don’t say you weren’t warned, America! Don’t you dare say you weren’t given ample notice of this Kenyan-born extremist’s evil intentions for us. I can see it now: Death Panels! Communist Medicine! An abortion clinic in every public school! Generations of innocent American schoolchildren forced to memorize entire paragraphs of the autobiography of Malcolm X! I have seen the future, my friends. It is bleak. Very very bleak.
But seriously folks….
