From the Editor...

or the White House Rural Council. They never mention TSA, FEMA camps, arming police departments with military-style weapons and tanks, or, dread the thought, the Federal Reserve. We have Obama telling us that he has improved the economy (a huge lie) and Romney telling us that he has business experience (which is actually big-business gambling experience in which he got lucky). Neither of them has ever produced anything in their lives. Romney thinks Bain Capital experience proves he is a businessman with a super-duper insight on jobs and the economy. While he certainly has a better grip on that subject than Obama, he is mostly in the dark. Speaking of the dark, both of these candidates are merely puppets of the Wall Street/Corporate gulag or the power elite, as some call them. For your sake and the sake of your children, turn off the television and begin getting your real news and opinion pieces from the internet while you can, before Obama throws a kill-switch on the internet. Preserve several months of food, buy ammo and teach every member of your family how to shoot. If you do not have guns, buy some before Obama takes our gun rights away. If you think upticks in the stock market are indicators that the economy is improving, you are probably wrong. If you think the price of gas or of animal feed will go down, you are probably wrong. If you think the price of groceries will not increase substantially over the next several months, you are probably wrong. I have often said: Never trust a man who doesnt have calluses on his hands. Even musicians and artists have calluses on their hands. Anyone who has ever done yard work or gardening has calluses on his hands. Farmers and ranchers have calluses on their hands. Every woman who has served as a full-time mother and household manager has calluses on her hands. Everyone who has ever created an object with the idea of manufacturing it has calluses on his or her hands. We are probably going to elect a president with perfectly smooth hands like a princess. This issue of The Texas Free Press has several different kinds of articles, some with differing opinions. Please keep in mind that opinions expressed are not necessarily representative of opinions of those associated with this publication. Have a great month and a Happy Thanksgiving! Drive safely and keep you and yours close to you. Grow food. Collect everything you need to withstand possible coming hard times.

A few weeks ago a friend of mine who happens also to be an advertiser/supporter of this publication, asked me how I found out about the various issues reported in this paper and came upon the various opinion columns. I told her I got all of it by never listening to cable news, satellite news or network TV news. Since she asked, I decided to tell you my readers a little about what I do to put the articles for this publication together each month. First, I very rarely listen to the evening news on the major networks and never listen to the morning news/entertainment shows. About once a month I listen to network evening news, if simply to find out what news the mainstream media is choosing not to report and what sort of spin they are giving to the news they are permitted to report. Every morning, beginning sometime between 5:15am and 6:30am, I begin to read news on the internet from a variety of sources. I read both hard news and opinion columns. I do this for four to six hours every morning, copying links and bookmarking websites as I go, checking my email all the while. I also listen to internet talk radio nearly all day every day, including Michael Berry (mostly for laughs), Rush Limbaugh (because he is sometimes dead right), Alex Jones (because he a very brave man who is probably mostly right, even though a bit annoying at times), Hannity (just to get the input from a bought-and-paidfor stooge for the conservative cause and does have a few good points), and others from time to time. When I go to mainstream media sites, the top news stories seem to revolve around either presidential so-called debates or around Hollywood celebrities, mostly people I have never heard of and could care less about. Now and then I am reminded of how ignorant the average person of voting age is in this country. Today I heard about a woman who is planning to vote for Obama because she got a free iPhone. Wow, that pretty much sums up the attitude of I be voting for the One who promises the most free stuff. I also saw a video of people being asked such simple questions as Who is the Vice President of the United States? being unable to provide a correct answer. Most of these same people did not know that the Federal Reserve is a private corporation. Most did not know there are other candidates for president of the United States other than Romney and Obama. Most never heard of Gary Johnson and had only very vague and often inaccurate ideas of who Ron Paul is and how he clearly stands on the issues. Speaking of the issues, we have Obama telling lies about what he has not accomplished and Romney harping on jobs and the economy and neither of them objecting to the taking away of our liberties, destroying the Constitution and turning America into a police state. Neither dares tackle the EPA, the DOE, the DHS, the NDAA

From the Far West Side

You Decide
by Armando Conde

Will you vote for the Marxist, the Fascist, the quasi-Libertarian or Not at All?
All over the internet there are libertarian conservatives advocating to vote for no one in the upcoming presidential race. I admit that if Obama wins, American is in deep doggydoo-doo and may never recover. If Romney wins, America may be in slightly better shape on a temporary basis, but we will still be on the path to economic collapse, failed foreign relations and the demise of the Constitution of the United States, for Romney is just another side of the Big Gov trend in America, just another side of the nanny state, in which every move your make and every thought you have is to be censored by the government. When George Washington was elected President of the United States, he was, in essence, drafted by the people. He did not seek after the presidency. The people themselves wanted him to be the President because he a proven leader. In fact, they wanted him to be King, but he refused. Today, we are seeing Obama and Romney as men who have spent many years and an unimaginable amount of money seeking to be President. There is something fundamentally wrong with anyone who would actually seek to become President. Many call that wrongness character or personality disorders. Examples of personality disorders are narcissism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, and many more. Here is a summary of characteristics of Narcissistic personality disorder: Believing that you're better than others Fantasizing about power, success and attractiveness Exaggerating your achievements or talents Expecting constant praise and admiration Failing to recognize other people's emotions and feelings What a great description of both Obama and of Romney. Both have made a career out of running for President. Both are promoters of Big Gov. Each believes that he, and only he, can run America and tell Americans how to think, how to speak, what to eat, how-whenand-where to obtain medical care, who to go to war with next, on and on ad nauseum. Both have support from Wall Street, from the banksters, from such firms as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Citigroup, and other huge big businesses who do not have our best interests in mind. Obama has support from the NWO guy Bill Gates as well as from the United Nations, an anti-American, anti-freedom organization promoting a New World Order. The promoters of the Climate Change Agenda suppport Obama. Supporters of government support of banks and corporations support Romney. Leaders of Marxist nations want Obama to win. A writer for the Communist Party USA says that re-electing Obama is absolutely essential. Completely ignored in this entire campaign are several other presidential candidates, most notably Gary Johnson, the candidate of the Libertarian Party. While his entire approach on the issues is not exactly that of Ron Pauls, it is very close. The chief reasons he does not even have name recognition among most voters are as follows: He does not have the backing of Wall Street, as Obama and Romney do. As a result, he does not have much money. He has not been vetted by the Bilderbergs or any other power elite groups. They (the power elite) do not want him in office. It would affect their plans for wealth, power and a New World Order or Globalist Government. It would affect their desire to take away our Bill of Rights, especially the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 10th Amendments. To me, those are all reasons to vote for Gary Johnson. Go to this link to find out exactly who Gary Johnson is. Link: http://www.garyjohnson2012.c om/ There are many people who are Republicans of a libertarian bent, and that is actually most of us, wanting government out of our lives, who do not know who Gary Johnson is because he doesnt have the money to promote himself on network TV or even on cable TV, and most of you watch network and cable/satellite TV. Make yourself informed before you vote. There are others, including some very highly regarded libertarians and talk show hosts who say they are simply not going to vote at all. The reason they give is that by not voting they simply will not support our politics as usual regime and against both Obama and Romney, including the vast sums of money spent on elections. I do understand and sympathize with their positions on voting. From www.thedailybeast.com John Avlon says: In Johnson, however libertarians might have their most accomplished modern advocatea proven vote getter with demonstrated crossover appeal, a self-made millionaire and iron-man competitor who supports marijuana legalization (and lets be honest, that libertarian plank has always been a source of the movements popularity on college campuses). More importantly, he has actually reined in government spending as an executive leaving his successor a budget See Voting Continued on Page 4

Monsanto: A Company Hell Bent on Profits No Matter What the Cost

It is widely believed that the advent of agriculture gave birth to civilization millennia ago. With a reliable food source people were able to settle rather than roam the lands in search of food. The settlements would eventually increase in population which would pave the way for innovation. This innovation led to the creation of mathematics, markets, infrastructure, and other key components that make up a civilized society. Knowing that a reliable food source is essential for the development of a civilization reveals the gravity of Bilderberg member Henry Kissengers words, Control food and you control the people. Throughout history the world has seen how fascist regimes have used famines to kill millions of people as well as to reinforce the power of the state. With the growing trend of corporations overtly integrating with government, one company in particular, is trying relentlessly to take control of all seeds planted, grown, and harvested across the globe. The largest seed supplier in the world today is the Monsanto Company. Although Monsanto began as a chemical producing company in 1901, today Monsanto is widely known for producing genetically modified crops. The survival of the company was threatened by chemicals produced from the 1930s through the early years of the 1970s that have been documented to be carcinogenic among many other health ailments. During the Vietnam War 200 million gallons of an herbicide were sprayed across the jungle as part of Operation Ranch Hand. Agent Orange, the herbicide used to defoliate forested and rural lands in Vietnam to remove cover for guerillas; also led to 500,000 children born with birth defect and killed or maimed 400,000 as a result of its use. In 2004, victims rights group Vietnam Association for Victims of Agent Orange (VAVA) filed a lawsuit in US District Court in Brooklyn, New York. The case was dismissed in 2005 and again in 2007 and a petition filed by VAVA to have the case heard by the US Supreme Court was denied as well. One of the companies named in the lawsuit by the complainant was the infamous Monsanto Company. Although Monsanto, along with Dow, were found to have not violated international law in the case involving VAVA, another lawsuit was filed on the behalf of Nitro, West Virginia residents living there after 1949. Between 1949 and 1971 in Nitro, Monsanto produced the chemical Agent Orange and was accused of spreading deadly toxins across the city. Monsanto settled by setting up a $90 million fund for screening and treatment of cancercausing dioxins for the residents of Nitro. As part of the settlement Monsanto was found to have done no wrongdoing. In 2002 Monsanto, along with Solutia Inc. were found guilty of polluting the city and awarded $700 million dollars in a lawsuit on behalf of residents of Anniston, Alabama who claims to have suffered from the tragic side-effects of PCBs. Once again the chemical giant Monsanto was involved in the careless and reckless production and waste removal of the coolant fluid known as PCBs. In 2009, the city of New Bedford, Massachusetts filed suit in the Bristol County Superior Court seeking damages for the production of PCBs between 1935 and 1971. During the mid-1970s the effects of PCBs had cast a negative light on the manufacturers of the coolant; especially in 1976 when Congress passed a law banning the production of PCBs. This type of publicity for a publically traded company is never good, so in 1973 Monsanto hired the infant company Bain & Co. to help transform their image from the chemical-polluting giant into a wholesome and caring company. After graduating from Harvard in 1977, our latest flavorof-savior Mitt Romney joined Bain & Co and immediately began to help salvage and repair Monsantos reputation to preserve profits. Having full knowledge of the toxicity of the chemicals produced by Monsanto, Romney advised them to focus on life-science products, todays common weed killer Round Up, and other bio-agricultural products such as genetically modified (GM) crops. It was this approach that ultimately saved the chemical giant only to give rise to company intent on controlling all seeds in the world. In 1983 Monsanto had successfully genetically engineered a tobacco plant resistant to antibiotics by gene splicing. Then in 1987, Monsanto duplicated the results in tomatoes that were resistant to Round Up. This newly developed technology of engineering and creating a crop that is resistant to an herbicide attracted farmers that were constantly losing their fields to weeds. The costsavings from higher yields are what catapulted GM crops into the market; but the science of GM, in its infancy, has not been thoroughly studied until a recent French study revealed the dangers of Monsantos GM corn. Before I touch on the results of the French study and how and why GM crops are approved for sale, allow me to describe the process of genetically modifying a crop species used by Monsanto. To engineer a crop to be resistant to the herbicide Round Up, Monsanto scientist relentlessly searched for some type of life form that would not fall victim to the herbicide. After the restless search, Monsanto scientists discovered a soil bacterium that was resistant to Round Up. The next step to genetically splicing the Round Up resistant bacteria gene into a widely produced crop could not be accomplished without the help of some type of organism that has the ability to invade a cell. One of the greatest cell invaders is a virus and for Monsanto scientists the E. coli virus was the perfect prospect to invade the cell of a crop to implant the soil bacteria resistant to Round Up.

Everything They Ever Told Me Was a Lie

ccording to author Pat Shannan, you simply cant trust our elected officials or the news media to tell the truth. Theres always something they want to hide from the American public. But is EVERYTHING they tell you a lie, carefully crafted for the benefit of the power elite? Pat Shannan would emphatically say yes. The authors first shocker came in college. Of that time he spent in those columned halls of higher education he says: As a lifelong truthseeker, I never returned to the college classroom because much of what I found there was at the very least based upon a lie and sometimes a total fabrication from its outset. The whole education industry is designed not to inspire learning and instill wisdom, but to program young men and women to conform to government regulation and conventional wisdom. For Shannan, no subject is off limits. In the book Pat takes a look at the mainstream cover stories for some of the biggest events of the 20th century, and then provides us with the REAL STORY. Shannan examines these topics and more in the book: the censored history of debt-free money; the unverifiable past of Barack Obama; the real legacy of FDR; George H.W. Bushs connection to the would-be assassin of Ronald Reagan; the forces working with the OKC bombers; LBJs shocking admission to his mistress; how they framed James Earl Ray and Lee Harvey Oswaldand killed Vince Foster; the murder of former football star-turned U.S. soldier Pat Tillman; the inexplicable anomalies in the official RFK assassination investigation and many, many more.

Slavery in the 21st Century

one another? The Bible says you are to make them become hewers of wood and drawers of water. Menial labor for life. Let them chop cotton, as we might say in Dixie.(1) The type of slavery condemned in the Bible is manstealing kidnapping people and forcing them into bondage against their will. Okay, lets admit it those unfortunate Africans were definitely kidnapped by Muslim slave traders, not Southerners, who sold them to a willing crowd of buyers, chiefly Spanish and then British, and lastly Yankee merchants who built big mansions in Massachusetts and Connecticut on the profits of selling those slaves to individual buyers (both North and South). It was indeed a contemptible trade(2). We should not be ashamed to say so. In fact, thats why the Confederate Constitution banned the importation of slaves from Africa, before there was a War of Northern Aggression. The institution was on the way out. In the meantime, there were plenty of examples of former slaves who earned their own freedom, and ironically, some of them promptly bought slaves of their own! How inspiring to read the true stories, which are never included in our nations text books, about slaves in the South who earned enough money by working on Saturdays (their day off! Did you learn about that in school?), and purchasing their freedom, then plying their trades as free black men in the various Southern states, often as blacksmiths, carpenters, mechanics, wainwrights, coopers, cowboys, etc.(3) All of that is now ancient and white-washed history. But slavery is still alive and well, in spite of the 14th Amendment to the Yankee Constitution. Not only do we have girls kidnapped and sold into sex-slavery (just as contemptible, if not more so), we continue today with the tradition of Volunteer Slavery. In the Old Testament we are told of a way for a man to voluntarily bind himself as a slave, when he could find no way to make a living. He would find a master, and apply for the job! If accepted, the master would register the deed, literally, and mark the man by standing him against a post and driving an awl through his ear a public sign of bondage. (An earring often was worn by slaves as well.) This form of slavery is never condemned it was nothing less than a life-time contract in exchange for room and board, including medical benefits and care for the aged, until death. There is another form of slavery, roundly condemned in the Bible, that of borrowing money: The borrower is a slave to the lender. Economic bondage is condemned over and over, and the moneylender was a reviled profession. Today we practice this institutionalized form of slavery, even though were much more sophisticated in how we go about it. As soon as we come of age, we walk into a lending institution and take out a loan. First its for a credit card, then its for a car, and then its for a house, with a thirty year mortgage. We live our lives in eco-

by Bubba Smith Among the greatest crimes that men can commit is to enslave other men. We all know that. Slavery is condemned by virtually all Americans, indeed, by virtually all people. Why, the greatest crime in America, say all the history books, and reinforced daily by the media, is that once upon a time there was an institution known as Slavery, right here in the USofA. Of course, it was Down South, where that contemptible race known as Southerners had the unmitigated gall to make slaves out of poor, innocent black folks they snatched right out of the jungles of Africa. But we fixed that, didnt we? Yup, we went to war, in a noble crusade, to liberate the slaves. Those history books are full of this kind of propaganda, always ready to skew a fact in order to reinforce the twin messages: (a) slavery is always bad; and (b) the South is always bad. Were always happy to remind them of how bad they are today because their ancestors lived in a land where a few of the people owned slaves. We are amazed, upon further study, to learn that slavery is not always bad. There are several types of slavery, known throughout the history of mankind, and the one I would like to see brought back is one of common sense if a nation invades you (with the obvious intent to enslave the survivors), and if you beat them in that war of defense, then you are to make the invaders serve as your slaves for the rest of their lives. Do you think that might reduce the inclination of nations to invade

nomic bondage, most of us never being free another day in our lives. We pay untold thousands of dollars in interest to the money-lenders, and we often pass on our debts to our children, as they inherit our estates. They call it the American Dream. If you know someone with no debt today, then you know a free man. Chances are, he drives an older car and has a modest lifestyle. But hes free. The practices of a nation are invariably a reflection of the values and practices of a majority of its citizens, and that is why it does not occur to most Americans today that it is wrong for our nation to borrow money in order to get by. Thats because we are, ourselves, a nation of debt-slaves. And yet, this law is inexorable it applies to nations just as surely as it applies to individuals the Borrower is a Slave to the Lender. America the Great is now a nation in bondage to the money-lenders. Sixteen trillion dollars worth of debt that cannot and will not ever be paid back theres not enough money in the world to pay it back! But the money-lenders go right on collecting their interest, and we go right on paying it. Well, we will, up to the point that we cant pay the interest, and then there will be a shifting of the tectonic plates and society will once again be realigned. This is a cycle that happens every two to four hundred years, unless interrupted by war and conquest. Are we so arrogant, or nave, as to think it cannot happen again, and that it cannot happen to us? This nation is no longer capable of being free again, primarily because it doesnt have the will to become free.

(There are other reasons, but they pale in the face of this one.) We are comfortable in our luxurious bondage. After all, our NFL and World Series are so superior to the circuses of Rome, and our sacred political system sure beats the Roman system, where the citizens just kept voting into power the political party that promised them the most bread. Were just so superior to all that. (4) Since most of us are in financial debt, we are in a poor position to condemn the national practice of borrowing money we cannot repay, and of printing money out of thin air perpetuating a fraud that we hope will come back to bite our children, not us. What good parents we call ourselves. You and I can do nothing, not even voting for Republicans, to save this nation from a crushing economic collapse (or worse). We cannot secede (yet), as a State or a Region, although that may come to be a viable option, (but please hold that thought.) But there are things that we CAN do to become more free, as individuals Every time a man withdraws (secedes) from the debt-slavery industry, he makes himself , his family, his community and his nation that much more free. Would you be free? Then do what it takes to get out of debt! Owe no man anything, except love, as the Apostle Paul exhorts us in Romans 13:8. Pay off the credit cards, automobile loans, and the mortgage, whatever it takes. Incur no more debt. Eat beans and rice, and when you get tired of that, eat rice and beans. (5) Do what your great-grandparents did save up wealth, and pay as you go!(6)

Of all the things from which you can secede, right now, this one is the most important one to you and your family. You entered into economic bondage voluntarily, and you can still walk away from it. If you dont start the process, then you may call yourself free all day long, but you are lying to yourself, and you are leaving your children a legacy of slavery. Legal, institutionalized, 21st Century slavery. 2012 Bubba Smith Footnotes: (1) This might also make a practical solution to illegal immigration, but Im getting off the subject now. (2) As contemptible as it was, Mohammed Ali (Cassius Clay) once made the statement, after fighting in Africa, that he was very grateful that his ancestors were transported to America as slaves, for he surely would not have wanted to live like that! Other well-educated black writers and columnists have made the same observation. (3) Who knows today about the fact that the largest slave owner in South Carolina in 1861 was a black man, who was a former slave? Or that he had a pew at church, downstairs with other wealthy slave owners? Ah, history. (4) Those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repeat it. (5) Its the Gospel According to Dave Ramsey. (6) (However, with the future of paper money in such jeopardy, please dont store your wealth in that form! If you dont know how to store wealth outside the banking system, then consult with Franklin Sanders on this point. h t t p : / / w w w. t h e m o n e y changer.net)

Current GMO Debate Will Affect Your Health

vNEWS RELEASE By Cheri Tips, Executive Director, National Health Federation October 4, 2012 For any readers who still believe that government agencies are in place to protect your health issues, this news release will be of interest. I previously wrote about the issue of GMO (genetically modified organism) labeling in a May 2012 article http://www.thenhf.com/article.php?id=3310 , but new evidence has emerged that again solidifies the need to be aware, be an activist, and push for this right to know (genetically modified labeling of foods) in your State and universally. Gearing Up for a Showdown At the moment, millions of dollars (30 million plus) are being amassed by biotech industry giants to defeat Californias Proposition 37 (The CA Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act), to be voted on via a ballot initiative (November 6th, 2012). This voting is historic. If Prop 37 passes, many other States will follow suit and the American consumer will have won not only their grassroots battle against Monsanto and its allies but will rightfully be able to discern at the marketplace whether what they are consuming is GMO laden or not. Monsanto lobbyists are striving to kill Prop 37, as they have previously in more than a dozen U.S. States. Most of Europe (where GMOs are called Frankenfoods) has empathically shunned GMOs and have laws enacted for mandatory labeling regulation. But the U.S. (largest producer of GMOs) has been joined by Australia and New Zealand, among others, in promoting GMO crops without testing for many years. Consumers must understand that government and industry are tied together like Siamese twins when the issue concerns GMOs, with manufacturers having lied about GMO safety for more than fifteen years. Testing & Dangers of GMOs First, you must realize that GMOs are very much in your life already 93% of soybeans, 86% of corn, 93% canola, and 95% sugar beets. Corn and soy are in animal feed and many crops. So, food derived from corn, beans, condiments, yellow squash, papaya, dairy products, some honey, conventional meat, and even clothing from the U.S. contains GMOs, just to name a few. 80% of processed foods at your grocery store contain unlabeled GMOs. At present, in the U.S., you may look for GMO-free labels and hope the producers are truthful. Under current U.S. food labeling laws, GMOs arent required to be disclosed at all. Regulatory agencies side with agribusiness corporations in claiming that GMOs are safe for human consumption even though there has been little pre-market testing, just the required 90-day study performed by the manufacturers. Manufacturers have used their money and power to force GMO agriculture upon American citizens and much of the World. There was one government study on humans and

Everything Is Rigged - Health, Politics, Finance And More - But Here's How To Beat The System
ment. Don't believe me? Try not paying property taxes and see what happens. Your property will soon be seized at gunpoint and taken over by the government. Even WAR is completely rigged. Wars are started with false flag attacks engineered by the imperialist USA, then all the reporting on war is completely censored to shield the American public from the truth of how horrifying it really is. The entire experience of war is sanitized, processed, homogenized... just like the processed cow's milk you're (hopefully not) drinking. How do you beat a rigged system? Don't play! With all these systems rigged against you, how do you stand a chance of getting ahead? As every Vegas gambler knows deep down, the only way to beat the house is to not play against the house. Don't play their game, in other words. Instead of sending your children to government-run indoctrination centers known as public schools, home school them. Instead of watching cable news propaganda, turn off the TV and get your news from independent online media like Natural News or one of our fan sites such as Natural News tracker. Instead of being victimized by toxic GMO food, buy organic and avoid the GMOs. Instead of falling for vaccines and prescription drugs, say NO to vaccines and dangerous drugs. Turn to nutrition and superfoods instead! Instead of putting all your savings and investments in the fiat currency known as the dollar, diversify your holdings into precious metals, non-U.S. currencies, farm land and other stores of real value. Instead of voting for the next presidential puppet, simply don't vote for any president! The mere act of voting for a presidential candidate legitimizes the corrupt system. (Yes, it's definitely important to vote for local candidates and ballot measures like Proposition 37 in California.) The point of all this is that you can't beat a rigged system. That's why it's rigged, of course: to make sure you never come out on top. So stop playing in the rigged system! The house always wins, didn't you know? That's how casinos make money, and it's how nearly everything else works, too. Levels of awakening The path to true freedom begins with recognizing just how completely all the systems are rigged against you. Only from there can you withdraw your consent from all the rigged systems that are insidiously working to keep you sick, suppressed, impoverished and ignorant. From there, focus your power and your effort inward, asking self-empowering questions like how can I become better informed and educated? How can I gain new skills? How can I improve my health and set myself free from the medical enslavement system? In time, these questions will transform to more broad questions such as: How can I contribute something meaningful to the world? What can I do to serve in the defense of life and truth? These are levels of awareness / awakening. I describe them like this: Level 0 - "Zombie" This is the default level of total ignorance at which 90% of the population operates. They have no clue about anything that matters such as how fiat currency systems operate, natural cures for cancer, the true dangers of vaccines, how television manipulates their behavior and so on. (These people are often experts in sports and TV sitcoms, however.) Level 1 - "Awakened" This level is achieved when a person realizes something along the lines of "Hey, I'm living in a dream world. I'm being told lies at every turn. What is real? How can I know what is real?" This is where people start asking questions. Level 2 - "Informed" A level 2 person is someone who has taught themselves a significant amount of real history and the way the world really works. This person will have knowledge of politics, psychology, world history, economics, natural health, the natural world (water, ecosystems, soils, etc.), basic anatomy, basic science and so on. Not even 1% of the population today qualifies as level 2. Most people operate in a state of wild ignorance of the world around them. Recognizes interconnectedness of all life systems. Sees the human life experience in a humorous light. Is able to tap into higher consciousness. Rarely seeks fame and not interested in financial success. Often abandons all material wealth. Remember: The rigged systems in place today want to suppress your rise from Level 0 to Level 4. They wish to keep you as dumbed-down as possible so that you never become fully aware of what's really happening around you. Only by refusing to participate in those systems do you have a real opportunity to move up the levels and achieve the only thing that really matters: Highlevel consciousness.

From: http://www.naturalA recent two-year study news.com/ of rats fed low levels of Monsantos GM maize (corn), led by Gilles-Eric Sralini (French molecular biologist), in collaboration with CRIIGEN, a genetic- engineering firm, resulted in rats with large cancerous tumors, liver necrosis, and early death. The testing levels of GM maize (with and without the herbicide Roundup) for the rats were identical to levels permitted in American drinking water and GM crops. Both Roundup and the NK603 maize were approved by the U.S. government, one for human consumption and Roundup for treating plants. Now, the evidence seems clear that both are contributing to many cancers in animals and the human population. So, it should be no surprise then that, recently, the French government sued Monsanto for lying about the safety of Roundup. Other studies support the French-study results. Jack Heinemann (Australian, riskassessment, molecular biologist) studied GM wheat (not yet commercialized) and concluded that permanent liver damage could occur from the enzyme suppressor in the modified wheat. The NHF Supports Proposition 37 Now is the time to stop Monsanto and other agribusinesses from continuing to destroy our food supply and, with it, our health. The CA labeling vote will go directly to the California consumer; and trade-organization lobbyists will not be able to kill this Proposition, not at the polls at least. The court fight later will be another battle yet to come. The National Health Federation has been fighting on U.S. and Canadian soil against GMOs for years and at Codex Alimentarius (World food governing body) for full disclosure to consumers on labels of GMO products. The Federation strongly supports Proposition 37. As a consumer, you can add additional pressure to require mandatory labeling by visiting the NHF homepage for our petition to the FDA www.thenhf.com. Recent Voice of Russia article on GMO foods, including an interview with NHF President, Scott Tips http://english.ruvr.ru/2012_10 _01/The-hidden-cost-of-GMfoods/ Cheri Tips has served as the National Health Federation Executive Director since 2003. by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger Editor of NaturalNews.com I've been pondering this topic for weeks, trying to find the words to communicate the full impact of this realization to which we are all increasingly awakening. Everything is rigged... the stock market, the news, the food, your taxes, public schools, the health care system, and on and on. Even Lance Armstrong's cycling victories were all apparently rigged (with doping), we're now finding out. But what do I mean by "rigged" specifically? All these systems and industries are rigged to cheat you, to suppress you, and ultimately to suppress your human potential. Think about it. The sick-care system is intentionally engineered to give you cancer, keep you sick, and keep you locked into a medical system that enriches powerful corporations while sacrificing human life. The financial system is rigged to quietly steal the value of your money through endless monetary creation also known as "quantitative easing." The more money the Fed prints, the less valuable the money you worked so hard to earn is left remaining. The political system is utterly rigged to give you the illusion of choice while parading in front of you two puppets of different skin colors who both serve the same masters (the banksters). The food system is rigged with GMOs that actually poison you while spreading genetic pollution across farms and fields everywhere. The news is utterly and comprehensively rigged, and this was highlighted yet again by former CNN star reporter Amber Lyon who just went public with scathing accusations about how CNN allowed foreign terror regimes to actually BUY positive coverage on CNN's broadcasts! This story is absolutely astonishing, and the very best interview of Amber Lyon exposing all this was conducted by Alex Jones and is found on YouTube.com. (Must-see video.) See Amber Lyon's website at: http://www.amberlyonlive.com The justice system is ridiculously rigged. A woman was arrested a few weeks ago and charged with a felony crime for drawing on the sidewalk with chalk. Meanwhile, absolute evil-minded criminals like Jon Corzine and Eric Holder go free with no prosecution whatsoever. The criminals run free while the innocent are persecuted. "Science" is largely rigged. Science journals are all dominated by Big Pharma advertising money, and nearly all the so-called science you see in the news anymore is just a regurgitation of fabricated research from corporate science whores who have sold their integrity for a paycheck. Much of the effort behind "science" today is spent reinforcing a monopoly over medicine by pushing deadly vaccines while disparaging healing plants and nutrients. Government regulators are completely rigged. The FDA looks out primarily for the interests of Monsanto and drug companies, not the safety of the American people. The USDA is completely beholden to the biotech industry and the meat factory giants, routinely betraying Americans with its decisions. Private property is rigged. Thanks to unconstitutional property taxes, you never really "own" your land. Instead, you lease it from the govern-

The Texas Free Press - 5 posits in the arteries of rabbits by feeding them cholesterol. By mid-century 22 countries were keeping records on fat consumption and deaths from CHD. A University of Minnesota public health researcher, Ancel Keys (19042004), picked 6 countries (later 7) that showed an almost straight-line correlation between calories from fat in the diet and deaths from heart disease. Japan had the lowest CHD mortality less than 1 in 1,000 with the Japanese diet having only 10 percent of its calories coming from fat, whereas the U.S. had the highest CHD mortality 7 in 1000 with 40 percent of its calories coming from fat. Government-funded investigators (in 1948) started following some 5,000 men and women in Framingham, Massachusetts to see who developed coronary heart disease. They found that people with elevated cholesterol were more likely to be diagnosed with CHD and die from it. The American Heart Association (in 1956) began promoting the Prudent Diet, where corn oil, margarine, chicken, and cold cereal replaced butter, lard, beef, and eggs, as Mary Enig and Sally Fallon describe it in The Oiling of America, available HERE. By the 1970s the diet-heart idea, known as the lipid hypothesis, had become well established. It contends that 1) saturated fats raise cholesterol blood levels, and 2) cholesterol causes CHD. Next, after several years of hearings, the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, chaired by Senator George McGovern, released (in 1977) its Dietary Goals for the United States, designed to reduce fat intake and avoid cholesterol-rich foods. These goals have become official government policy. Artery clogging saturated fats, whose strings of carbon atoms are fully saturated with hydrogen atoms, were said to be especially bad. Animal fat (meat, milk, eggs, butter and cheese) and tropical oils (coconut and palm oil) contain saturated fats. Health authorities advised the American public to avoid them and replace saturated fats with carbohydrates and processed polyunsaturated vegetable oils soybean, corn, cottonseed, canola, peanut, safflower, and sunflower oils. In 1984, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a consumer advocacy group, joined the fray and started to coerce fast-food restaurants and food companies to stop frying food with animal fats and tropical oils. McDonalds fried its French fries with beef fat and palm oil. That's why they tasted so good. But CSPI's well-orchestrated saturated frying fat attack forced McDonalds and other fast-food chains to switch to partially hydrogenated (transfat) vegetable oil. In 1992, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) published its Food Guide Pyramid. The pyramid arranges food in various groups and stacks them in pyramidal parts that convey the message, Fat is bad and Carbs are good. Fats and oils are placed in the small top portion of the pyramid and labeled Use sparingly. Carbohydrate-rich bread, cereal, rice, and pasta fill up the bottom space to be consumed in abundant amounts, 611 servings a day. Further up, fruit, also high in carbohydrates, is accorded 24 servings; whereas the group that includes meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs, and nuts is allowed only 23 servings. The 60-year reign of the lowfat, high-carbohydrate diet will end. This will happen when the health-destroying effects of excess carbohydrates in the diet become more widely recognized and the health benefits of saturated fats are better appreciated.

About two and a half years ago, I was a hog. At 51 tall, I weighed about 260 lbs. I dont know the exact amount because fat ladies never step on the scales unless forced to do so by a doctor. Fat ladies also never walk fast or run because their hips, knees and feet hurt from bearing all that weight, so I never exercised unless you count waddling from the couch to the kitchen. I came upon the following article which supports the way I eat now. Although I consume even fewer carbohydrates than suggested herein and probably a little more high quality protein, in the past two and half years, I have lost more than 90 pounds. Although no longer obese, I have only about 24 more pounds to go be at a healthy weight, and I am never hungry and have no cravings for all the food-like products that made me a fat lady in the first place. My weakness was grain products of any kind, breads, pastries, corn flakes, you name it. Do not think for one minute that you are too old to change your ways. I was 70 when I began this new lifestyle. I am very active now, spending at least an hour each day with my gardening and yard care. I went from size 22 jeans to size 14.

www.EldersCountryStoreandMarket.com eldersstore@sbcglobal.net imitates life. In Woody Allen's film Sleeper, saturated fats are health foods. Miles Monroe, part owner of the Happy Carrot Health Food Restaurant in Greenwich Village, is cryogenically frozen in 1973 after a botched peptic ulcer operation (done at the now closed St. Vincent's Hospital there). Scientists wake him up 200 years later and have this exchange. Dr. Aragon: Has he asked for anything special? Dr. Melik: Yes. This morning for breakfast he requested something called wheat germ, organic honey, and tiger's milk. Dr. Aragon: Oh yes. Those were the charmed substances that some years ago were felt to contain life-preserving properties. Dr. Melik: You mean there was no deep fat? No steak or cream pies or hot fudge? Dr. Aragon: Those were thought to be unhealthy, precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true. Dr. Melik: Incredible! "(You can see this scene in the movie on YouTube, available HERE.)" There is good reason to believe that this will prove to be the case in life as well. Saturated fats play many important biologic roles. They are an integral component of cell membranes, which are 50 percent saturated fat. Lung surfactant is composed entirely, when available, of one particular saturated fat, 16-carbon palmitic acid. Properly made with this fat, it prevents asthma and other breathing disorders. For nourishment, heart muscle cells prefer saturated long-chain palmitic and 18-carbon stearic acid over carbohydrates. Saturated fats are required for bone to assimilate calcium effectively. They help the liver clear out fat and provide protection from the adverse effects of alcohol and medications like acetaminophen. Medium-chain saturated fats in butter and coconut oil, 12-carbon lauric acid and 14-carbon myristic acid, play an important role in the immune system. They stabilize proteins that enable white blood cells to more effectively recognize and destroy invading viruses, bacteria, and fungi, and also fight tumors. Saturated fatty acids function as signaling messengers for hormone production, including insulin. And saturated fats signal satiety. Not surprisingly, given all these biological functions, saturated fats make up 54 percent of the fat in mother's breast milk (monounsaturated fats are 39 percent; and polyunsaturated fats, a tiny 3 percent). Evidence against fat wilts upon close scrutiny. In his Six Country Study, Ancel Keys ignored data available from 16 other countries that did not fall in line with his graph. The results would have been a clutter of dots all over the place if he had included all 22 countries. In Norway and Holland, people eat a lot of fat but have relatively few deaths from heart disease; and in Chile, where people don't eat much fat they have a high incidence of fatal heart attacks. In an entertaining 2 minutes, Big Fat Lies on YouTube (available HERE) exposes the fraudulent science supporting this widely cited study. Saturated fat may raise cholesterol somewhat, but primarily HDL cholesterol. The ongoing Framingham Heart Study has come to show that fat and cholesterol are, if anything, healthy. A 30-year follow-up reported that for each 1% mg/dl drop in cholesterol there was an 11 percent increase in all-cause mortality (JAMA 1987;257:217680). In another report, one director of the Framingham Study states, We found that the people who ate the most cholesterol, ate the most saturated fat, ate the most calories, weighed the least and were the most physically active (Arch Int Med 1992;152:12712). Moreover, the government-issued Dietary Goals for the United States did not seek evidence to justify them. For an amusing but disturbing overview of the politics behind these goals see the (2-minute) video The McGovern Report on YouTube, available HERE. Along with other investigators (see HERE and HERE and HERE), Uffe Ravnskov, M.D., Ph.D., a Swedish cardiologist, explains in a clear and concise fashion why the idea that saturated fats and cholesterol cause heart disease is wrong. In Fat and Cholesterol are Good for You: What Really Causes Heart Disease (2009), he refutes the lipid hypothesis and addresses the economic and political factors that drive the anti-saturated-fat agenda. An epidemic of obesity has accompanied the adoption of a low-fat diet. In 1900 only 1 in 150 people were obese, 0.7 percent of the population. By 1950, 9.7 percent of Americans were obese. Now twothirds of Americans are either overweight (33 percent) or

Health Benefits of a LowCarbohydrate, High-SaturatedFat Diet

by Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD http://www.lewrockwell.com A hundred years ago, before Americans changed their diet and the calamitous events of the 20th century began, heart disease was far less common that it is now. Few Americans were overweight, and coronary heart disease was not yet recognized as an illness. Pneumonia, diarrhea and enteritis, and tuberculosis were the three most common causes of death, whereas coronary heart disease is now the most common cause of death in the United States. The medical subspecialty of cardiology was created in 1940. Since then the number of cardiologists in the U.S. has grown from 500 in 1950 to 30,000 now a 60fold increase. In 1911 Procter and Gamble (P&G) introduced Crisco, used for making candles and soap, as a new kind of food. Sold as an all-vegetable shortening, the company advertised that it was a healthier alternative to cooking with animal fats. Rather than use animal fats like lard (pork fat), tallow (beef and lamb fat), and butter for baking and cooking food, which Americans then did, P&G mounted a campaign to convince them to use Crisco instead. The company published a free cookbook with 615 recipes (from pound cake to lobster bisque), all of which required Crisco. They made it by using a newly invented process that insufflates hydrogen into vegetable oil (in this case, cottonseed oil), which gives it a solid texture resembling lard, and with yellow bleach, mimics butter. (The name Crisco is derived from CRYStalized Cottonseed Oil.) Trans fats were born. With Crisco successfully marketed as a food, this partially hydrogenated, unnatural vegetableoil began to replace natural saturated animal fats and tropical oils in the American diet. (For more on how Procter and Gamble successfully demonized lard, see HERE.) While deaths from coronary heart disease (CHD) began to mount, researchers found that they could produce fatty de-

obese (32 percent). The average American weighs 30 pounds more today than he or she did 100 years ago. In 1900 people ate more animal fat and were not exposed to high amounts of carbohydrates in sugar-rich sodas and fruit juices, and to a whole panoply of processed foods sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup. Mary Enig, Ph.D. and Sally Fallon have written a book that can help Americans shed those extra pounds. Returning to the type of diet trim Americans had at the beginning of the last century, it is appropriately titled Eat Fat Lose Fat: Lose Weight and Feel Great with Three Delicious, ScienceBased Coconut Diets (2005). Saturated fats work best for losing weight. In a randomized, double-blind trial comparing the effects of coconut oil and polyunsaturated vegetable (soybean) oil in women with abdominal obesity, women who consumed coconut oil had a significant reduction in waist circumference (with no change in cholesterol levels). Women taking vegetable oil had no change in their waist size and had a statistically significant increase in LDL cholesterol and reduction in HDL cholesterol (Lipids 2009;44:596601). In light of scientifically done studies like this, the reader might consider starting the day by drinking one ounce (30 ml) of warmedup, liquid extra virgin coconut oil mixed with a little fruit juice, especially if overweight. I do (and obtain it HERE). Americans have replaced saturated fat in their diet with processed polyunsaturated vegetable oils and carbohydrates. The Average American drinks 600 cans (56 gallons) of soft drinks a year (up from 216 cans in 1971). One-third of our dietary sugar comes from sodas, which has become the number one source of calories. Each 12-ounce can contains 10 teaspoons of sugar in the form of high-fructose corn syrup. Barry Groves, Ph.D. focuses on the untoward consequences of adopting a high-carbohydrate, high-polyunsaturated vegetable oil, low-saturated fat diet in Trick and Treat: how healthy eating is making us ill (2008). As he shows, citing 1,147 references, there is now good evidence that this diet is a major cause of the epidemic of obesity, type-2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and various mental problems (such as depression and senile dementia) that afflict an increasing number of Americans. In the body, dietary carbohydrates, sugars and starch, are converted to glucose, which indirectly directs the pancreas to release insulin into the blood. Insulin not only transports glucose into the cells, it stores glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscles. It is also the primary fat-building enzyme, converting glucose to fat. When the liver and muscles are filled with glycogen, insulin turns excess glucose into body fat. Carbohydrates are the primary cause of weight gain, not fats. (Animals raised for food are fattened with carbohydrates.) One of the major health benefits of a low-carbohydrate diet is weight loss. It enables one to lose excess weight without having to consciously restrict calories (Ann Int Med 2004;140:769777). A lowcarb diet lowers blood glucose in diabetics (Diabetes 2004;53:23752382). It improves insulin sensitivity (N Engl J Med 2003;348:2074 81). Indeed, carbohydrate restriction (with fat replacing carbohydrates) is on the way to becoming the preferred method for treating type-2 diabetes and its precursor, metabolic syndrome (Scand Cardiovasc J 2008;42:256 263). Restricting carbohydrates can also lower blood pressure (JAMA 2004;292:248222490). With growing evidence that fewer carbohydrates in the diet improves health, the much-maligned Atkins diet, first introduced in 1972, has gained new

respect (N Engl J Med 2008;359:22941). Joel Kaufmann, Ph.D. reviews 12 lowcarbohydrate diet books, beginning with Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (2002), available HERE. Indoctrinated in low-fat dogma by nutrition authorities, government agencies, and the American Heart Association, I used to advise my heart surgery patients to restrict the amount of saturated fat in their diet and not have more than one egg a week. (My Cousin Sally had eggs and bacon for breakfast most days of her life and lived in good estate to the age of 103, which I then attributed to her having very good genes.) Following the USDA food pyramid, I did not voice any concerns about how many carbohydrates they consumed, from starch in bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes and sugar in fruit, pastry, fruit juices, and soda. Not now. Now I caution them to watch their carbohydrate intake and advise that they follow a diet like the one Christian Allan, Ph.D. and Wolfgang Lutz, M.D. recommend in the Life Without Bread: How a Low-Carbohydrate Diet Can Save Your Life (2000). Their diet limits carbohydrate intake to 72 grams a day, which is equivalent to 6 slices of bread (somewhat more than the Atkins diet). I urge them to eliminate soft drinks from their diet, including diet sodas, which contain health-damaging aspartame, and drink filtered water instead; to avoid baked goods and condiments that contain high-fructose corn syrup; to stay away from the excitotoxin monosodium glutamate (MSG) used in some restaurants and to enhance the flavor of processed foods; and to scrupulously avoid trans fats, which cause cancer, trigger type-2 diabetes, interfere with immune function, and cause heart disease. But they can eat as many eggs as they please. For optimum health and weight maintenance, the ideal caloric ratios for the three macronutrients are carbohydrates, 1015 percent; protein, 1525 percent; and fat, 6070 percent of calories. Among the different kinds of fats, saturated fats and monounsaturated fats (olive oil) are good; polyunsaturated fats, except for omega-3 and (a small amount of) omega-6 essential fatty acids, are bad, especially industrially processed vegetable oils; and trans fats are terrible. Saturated animal fat is best obtained from grassfed beef and pastured chickens, along with nitrate-free, additive-free bacon and sausage; and seafood from wild (not farm-raised) fish. In Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) George Orwell writes, Orthodoxy means not thinking, not needing to think. Reading the four books referenced above will make one think and question the accepted view that saturated fats and cholesterol cause coronary heart disease and that a low-fat (high-carb) diet prevents it. What the two doctors in Woody Allen's 1973 comedy Sleeper say in 2173 about saturated fats is true. Life does imitate art. Today, Uffe Ravnskov, Mary Enig and Sally Fallon, and Barry Groves, among others are already confirming the truth of these futuristic doctors' statement. Saturated fats are good for us, and pure butter will once again be viewed as the number-one health food. -------------------------Donald Miller is a cardiac surgeon and Professor of Surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle.

November 2012 Monsanto Continued from Page 2 incognito due to patents held by Monsanto. An article in a French periodical exposed the fact that researcher had to ban all phone conversations and use encrypted emails. The irony of Monsantos enforcing of patent law is quite compelling. To gain approval for sale, Monsanto claims that their GM crops should be classified as GRAS to avoid regulation; yet Monsanto ruthlessly claims that their product is unique, hence the need for a patent. How can a company claim that their product is the same as other products in the market and claim that their product is a one-of-a-kind? Ananda Mohan Chakrabarty, a General Electric scientist filed for a patent for an oil-consuming organism in the 1970s. Initially the patent request was denied due to fact that the patent office profusely refused the granting of patents over life; however Chakrabarty challenged the denial all the way to the Supreme Court and in 1971 the Supreme Court ruled that a patent could be granted for Chakrabarty. The Chakrabarty victory opened the door for companies such as Monsanto to eventually patent the majority of crops grown today. According to Monsantos website, when a farmer agrees to purchase any patented seed they also agree to not save and replant the seed for the following season. If the farmer wishes to use the patented seed they must purchase it again. Under this agreement a farmer basically becomes enslaved to the company by either having to continuously buy seed patented seed because if they save and replant the seed the farmer has violated the license agreement. In April of 2012 a Brazilian court ruled in favor of five million farmers that sued Monsanto for taxes collected on crops. Monsanto had vigorously collected royalties on the farmers who saved and replanted their GM soybean. After a ban of GM crops was lifted in Brazil, Monsanto GM soybean flooded the country and today 85% of the soybean crop is Monsantos patented seed. The taxes drove many farmers to bankruptcy and many others to suicide. The ruling of the Brazilian court ordered the company to pay back at least two billion dollars with the reimbursements potentially totaling $7.5 billion. You would think that those farmers that do not wish to buy Monsanto seed because they have developed their own seed over years of harvesting and saving the best seeds should not have to worry about patent law. That could not be further from the truth. When nature takes it course, what one farmer plants in his field may end up in a field of a neighboring farmer and this is how Monsanto has devastated small farms across the globe by claiming patent infringement. Monsanto claims that all investigations concerning patent infringement begin when they receive word from an honest farmer who suspects that one farmer is using their GM seed without a license. During the investigation and after finding Monsantos patented seed in the suspected the fields, Monsanto files suit against the farmer for patent infringement. The financial burden of litigation against the behemoth company typically pushes the farmer to settle rather than fight. As a part of the settlement the farmer may never speak of the details of the settlement. From that point See Monsanto Continuedon Page7

Once the Round Up resistant gene was isolated from the soil bacteria and spliced with the invading gene of the E. coli virus, the great scientific minds at Monsanto decided to splice another gene from bacteria that causes tumors in plants into the soil bacteria resistant gene and the E. coli virus. Knowing that the tumorous causing gene would weaken the plant cells, Monsanto used the bacteria to invade the cells of corn to implant the genetically designed genes into the DNA of the corn to survive the use of Round Up. Now farmers could kill the weeds invading their fields without fear of killing precious crops. This approach, which on the surface is a money and labor saver for the average American farmer is what has attracted farmers across the nation to the GM crops offered by Monsanto. In 1992 Vice President Dan Quayle chaired the Council on Competitiveness which recommended to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that GM crops be given GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status. The FDA adamantly rejected the status; however, FDAs Deputy Commissioner on Policy Michael Taylor approved of regulation classifying GM foods as GRAS which allowed GM crops to enter the market. Taylor, a former lawyer for King & Spalding, was Monsantos senior counsel while with the firm. Monsanto is notorious for having former employees, lawyers, and scientists in important positions in government. Positions held by former Monsanto employees range from Secretary of Commerce to the Secretary of Defense. Just to name a few: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas-former Monsanto lawyer, Linda Fisher former executive vice president of Monsanto-Deputy Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Anne Veneman board of directors for Calgene, a company purchased by Monsanto-Secretary of Agriculture, Micky Kantor board of directors for Monsanto-Secretary of Commerce, and Donald Rumsfield former president of Searle, another company bought by Monsanto and maker of aspartame-Secretary of Defense. The list goes on and on and the revolving door of former employees of major corporations in government positions will continue to serve the shareholders rather than the People unless they can be exposed. As well as having cronies in bureaucratic positions, Monsanto has been able to skew the results of studies required for submission for approval from the FDA. Until the French study on Monsantos GM crops, the GM crops were only studied for a minimum of ninety days in lab rats. These types of studies revealed no findings of health ailments in lab animals, allowing for their approval. However, on September 19, 2012 in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, French scientist released the results of their study. The study, which covered two years rather than ninety days, showed kidney and liver damage, mammary tumors, and other serious health impediments. I will not go into the details of the study since my colleague Jenell Redding (Dr. Quack) reprinted a lengthy article by Dr. Mercola in the Octobers issue of The Texas Free Press. Please refer to last months issue for further details. The study performed by the French scientist had to be done

up around the sides of the pan to help them somewhat disintegrate into a more sauce-like consistency. To Remove The Seeds: Aftersimmering these for an hour or so, I used an old-fashioned hand-cranked sieve like our mothers and grandmothers used to make applesauce, and dumped a couple of ladles of the beautiful sauce, cranking it to remove the seeds and any skins left on the pears. The result at this time was a smooth, rich, beautiful puree of prickly pear fruit. To Prepare For Serving: Many people make jam from the pears, but since I do not consume sugar, I do not do that. The first time I harvested these little beauties, I added a bit of stevia as a sweetener and boiled the sauce down some more to serve as a sauce with grilled chicken. The next time I made it, I did not really have enough pears to justify making much sauce, so I mixed one-to-one cups of the prickly pear sauce with fresh/frozen cranberries and a little more sweetener. This was an amazing sauce. The third time I made it, I added a small amount of finely shredded onion and a small amount of chopped cilantro. Each time, it was better and better. One of the best parts about eating prickly pear fruits is the health benefits. It allegedly is full of vitamin C, aids in heart health, is full of fiber, low in calories and carbohydrates and is presumed to be an antioxidant to boot. The green paddles of the plant are also edible, as most south Texans know. Pick the fresh younger paddles in the spring, and again, use a torch to remove the needles. I am not personally a fan of nopales, but many people are, and there are many recipes on the internet for preparing these as well as for such delecacies as prickly pear vinegrette. So, now you have something else in your arsenal of good foods to eat for free!

Several years ago when we had a really good harvest of prickly pears in my neighborhood, I decided to learn to eat these. All parts of the plants are edible. I was mostly interested in the luscious red fruits. Although I am sure that many Texans have different ways of harvesting them and getting the stickers off, heres how I did it with excellent results.

Being a sissy when it comes to snakes, I picked out plants that were close to the road, usually on the county right-ofway. I took a large woven basket and a machete. I would place the basket on the ground under the part of the plant that had nice ripe pears and knock the pears off or whacked them with the machete. This way, I never had to actually touch the plants with its stickers. Once I had a basket full, I took them home and, with a bamboo skewer I poked as many pears as I could on a skewer, usually about six to eight at a time. Then, using a small, hand-held butane torch, I burned the stickers off. Once I had burned the stickers off, I dropped them in a large stew pan. I repeated this process untill all my pears were relieved of their stickers. To Cook:

Monsanto Continued from Page 6 on the farmer is forced to buy the patented seed. Even seed cleaners must face Monsantos lawyers by claiming that they help farmers clean and save the GM seed without a license. Once again the financial burden causes the seed cleaner to admit to patent infringement and pay Monsanto damages. There is no way to contain the GM crop outside of a laboratory. Once a field is seeded with the genetically modified corn, soybean, cotton, sorghum, wheat, or any other crop, it is only a matter of time before the gene spreads and infects other non GM fields. Once the patented gene is found the Monsanto lawyers scramble to break the farmer who used their seed without permission. Today more than 80% of corn and over 90% of soybean in the US is genetically modified. Cotton that is genetically engineered also dominates the cotton market. Cotton oil is commonly used in many highly processed foods. The stratagem used by Monsanto to reap enormous profits has devastated mankind. From those affected by Agent Orange and PCBs to the farmers who end up bankrupt to the anticipated devastation of a lifetime of consuming genetically modified foods; Monsanto seems to have no regard for anyone who is not a shareholder. We have seen the lengths Monsanto will go to turn a profit and dominate the food market. Since food is the cornerstone of society and Monsanto wishes to, and is well on its way, to controlling all the seeds; it is incumbent upon us to take control of our food if wish to avoid the tentacles of Monsanto. We can no longer allow a chemical giant to produce foods based on an infant science which was approved by Monsanto connected bureaucrats that is used to enforce patent law forcing unwilling farmers to purchase seeds used to produce foods commonly consumed today.

Its Your Life, Your Money and Your FREEDOM

by V J Alford can still do this. Now I feel that the purchasing of durable goods of a high quality is more important. Use a small brown envelope (2 1/4" X 3 ") to save money in towards your goals and write on each one the Goal number and what the name is for that goal. A simple way to know how much you need to put in the envelope is to take your estimated cost of that item divided by twelve and then you know you would need X amount each month for that envelope. Take out the correct amount for each of your paydays. If you are paid weekly that will be four times for most months. As soon as you get to make that purchase you are on you way to meeting all your goals. You say wait what I want costs a lot more, how in the world can I save it up in one year? Well, what you do is carry that goal over to the next year and keep on until you do have enough to make the purchase. Each year during December make your next year goal and mark off where you are at and add any new ones. You will make it and by your third year you will look at your previous goal lists and can say Holy Poly look at what we have already done. Be sure you and yours are all on the same page with this program. May the best be out there for all of us. We can make it. sions about. This is the most important step. It will let you get to where you want to be like you did when you learned to walk. Really simple, so go ahead and just do this. Sure I know you have may have read somewhere about something kinda like this. Oh! This works. I do this every year. It doesnt matter how much money you earn, just that you have written down where you want to be at the end of each year. Some years you will have carry-overs and that is great just keep writing down what you want in order to get to where you are going. Draw a line under your header. Then write My Goals Beginning in the Year 2013 and draw a line under that header. Now draw a line down the middle of the page and you may be continuing to several more pages with a line drawn down the middle. But right now we are all on the same first page. List everything you and your other better half actually want. It can be serious or silly. After making this list, go to another page and list those things and estimate the cost and write it down. Then go over these things and prioritize them by which you believe is most important to you. Just put a number 01 by the most important and continue until all have a number. At one time I said to pull 25 percent of your take home pay for savings, you

Welcome to all our new readers and for those who have missed me I will be writing off and on again for The Texas Free Press. I am really very happy about writing this article. You need this information about GOALS. So I will start with baby steps. This one is where you are pulling up and holding on as long as you can. You have a goal to walk, and the sooner the better. Now I will give you some knowledge as to how you can do the same thing for you and your family and loved ones. First you must have a pen and a yellow legal pad (you may need more than one). As a header I want you to write the following down on that first page. Year 2013 AD Goals, 01. Make Goal for 20 Years, 02. Define each small GOAL to be able to reach my 20 year Goal, 03. GOAL for financial Security, 04. GOAL for material Success, 05. GOAL for Social Happiness, 06. GOAL for Spiritual revelations, 07. GOAL for Personal Life, 08. GOAL for Business Security. To reach these aforementioned goals I must commit to writing, a believable by me 90 day projects goal and work for these goals each day - remembering should these goals ever conflict, I will adjust, reassess and redefine so that I will achieve my lifes goal which can be ever changing.

It does not involve the Federal Government in any shape form or fashion... It is to restore the Republic of Texas to its rightful status as an independent nation-state, guaranteeing the individual rights of every Texan, and achieve our place as a nation among nations. If we are to be successful in seeing Texas once again raise its head among the nations and achieving a Free & Independent Republic of Texas, then we must not continue to shoot ourselves in the foot by telling ourselves we "can't" or won't." If you have not yet done so, I would encourage you to obtain and read a copy of Daniel Miller's book Line in the Sand. Inside it the reader will find that many factual answers are available to just about every excuse one could throw against the case for Texas independence. You can find it available for free download at www.texasnationalist.com. The time for Texas is now. We must refuse to accept what we are told that we cannot do or achieve. We must not accept defeat before we have even begun to fight. It is time that each of us draws our own line in the sand, just like Travis did at the Alamo, and take a stand. It is time we start telling ourselves, "Yes, we can secede!" With honor & for Texas, Chris Streeper, TNM Director of Organizational Development Galveston County Organizer

Careful What We Ask For
A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The waitress asks them for their orders. The man says, 'A hamburger, fries and a coke,' and turns to the ostrich, 'What's yours?' 'I'll have the same,' says the ostrich.

Solution to This Months Sudoku

A short time later the waitress returns with the order 'That will be $9.40 please,' and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment. The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, 'A hamburger, fries and a coke.' The ostrich says, 'I'll have the same.' Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change. This becomes routine until the two enter again. 'The usual?' asks the waitress.

When I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes. My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there.' 'That's brilliant!' says the waitress. 'Most people would ask for a million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!'

Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table. The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. 'Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change in your pocket every time? 'Well,' says the man, 'several years ago I was cleaning the attic I found an old lamp.

'That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there,' says the man.. The waitress asks, 'What's with the ostrich?' The man sighs... pauses and answers, 'My second wish was for a chick with long legs who agrees with everything I say.'
