TSA: Helping America “FEEL” Safe

Tammy Banovac was not allowed to board her flight because of an "unusual contour in her buttocks area," yet was allowed to remain in the airport and says she plans to spend the night there.  If this lady is such a threat, why is she allowed to remain in the airport?   If she truly is a threat to others, shouldn't she be hauled off to jail where she would be strip searched and anything she might be hiding found?

Is it supposed to make us feel better when potential terrorists are not allowed to board a plane but are allowed to freely roam the world?  Aren't there more people in and around the airport itself than on a plane? 

Recently, a pilot named Chris Liu posted videos on YouTube to show what he thinks are holes in the security system at San Francisco International Airport.  Instead of looking into Mr. Liu's accusations, TSA reacted by sending four agents and two county sheriff deputies out to his house to confiscate his gun and suspend his Federal Flight Deck Officer credentials. 

Now, doesn't that make you feel safer?

Who’s Poisoning Our Food Supply?

We now have confirmation of the concern that outsiders may try to poison U.S. citizens through our food supply.

The deadly terrorist group al-Qaeda may be plotting to poison U.S. food in the salad bars and buffets of hotels and restaurants, according to U.S. intelligence report obtained by the National Association of Chiefs of Police on Tuesday.

The plot entails the hiding of either ricin  or cyanide in the food at a number of locations in order to create panic and have an adverse effect on the U.S. food industry and economy.

The terrorists hope that Americans will eat the poisoned food and would become severely ill and eventually die. Sources at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, who issued the warning, stated that it takes only tiny quantities of either ricin or cyanide to kill.¹

However, we've been slowly poisoning ourselves for decades with the myriad of artificial ingredients in our food.  As we continue to use food for fuel, our food prices will continue to increase, and manufacturers will seek ways to reduce their costs. Welcome to the world of artificial sweeteners!

Everyone wants to indulge a sweet tooth at this festive time of year, without suffering the inevitable consequences of weight gain. But, be aware of the hidden (not listed on ingredient labels) dangers of Neotame sweetener in almost everything consumed by humans, and now even in feed for livestock raised for human consumption.

In 1998, Monsanto applied for FDA approval for a monster molecule, "based on the aspartame formula" with one critical addition: 3-dimethylbutyl [listed on EPA's most hazardous chemical list]. Neotame is touted as being 13,000 times sweeter than sugar.

On July 5, 2002 - Monsanto's Neotame molecule was approved by the USFDA over formally registered objections of the Aspartame Consumer Safety Network and others. (Long term effects on humans are unknown.) Read the full release on The Aspartame Consumer Safety Network.

The food labeling requirements required for aspartame have now been dropped for Neotame, and no one is clear why this was allowed to happen. Neotame has been ruled acceptable, and without being included on the list of ingredients, for:

1. USDA Certified Organic food items.
2. Certified Kosher products with the official letter k inside the circle on labels.

Ever ready to give the public what it craves - guilt-free, low calorie treats that taste as good as sugar, is the multi billion dollar sweetener industry. The sugar industry pales by comparison, in the profit generating arena. Fake sugars, in the form of Aspartame and now the Aspartame super clone, Neotame, give 'foodies' and fitness fanatics false hope and the empty promise that all can 'have our cake and eat it, too.' Not necessarily so.

Controversy has swirled around the artificial sweetener, Aspartame, now also known as AminoSweet, since its FDA approval in 1982. Virtually all corporate sponsored scientific studies show aspartame to be perfectly safe. Virtually all independently done studies show just the opposite. In the lab, Aspartame was shown to cause the following forms of cancers: brain tumors, pancreatic tumors, breast tumors and uterine tumors. Five deaths are registered with FDA. In more recent tests, leukemia, lymphoma and kidney cancers were discovered as well.²

This article goes on to explain how Neotame under the name of "Sweetos" is now being used to sweeten livestock feed.  Why?  Because it is cheaper than molasses which has skyrocketed in price due to it being used in the production of alcohol.  So, no matter how careful you are at reading labels, you may still be exposed to it through meats that you purchase.

Yes, we do need to be concerned about outside threats to poison our food supply.  We need to take those threats seriously and prevent them from being carried out.  However, we also need to scrutinize the ingredients of the foods we eat daily and realize that the manufacturers are willingly and legally poisoning our food supply while we happily buy and consume their tasty morsels.

Mom Files Lawsuit Against McDonald’s Happy Meal Toys

I don't think that getting rid of the toy in the Happy Meals is going to keep this lady from feeding her kids fast food.  Obviously, she has a problem with saying 'no' to her kids.

Monet Parham needs help saying no to her two children and she's asking the courts for assistance, the Washington Post reports. Parham filed a lawsuit against McDonald's asking the fast-food chain to cease marketing toys to kids.

People are Worth Pursuing, Jesus Even More So

Image by Douglas Brown via Flickr

I was told today that people are worth pursuing.  In general, I agree.

How long do you pursue someone that left you?  How long do you pursue someone that has thwarted your efforts to communicate?  How long do you pursue someone that obviously doesn't want to be sought after?

It takes a lot of time and energy to pursue someone that doesn't want anything to do with you.  At what point do you leave someone to their own devices and hope they will someday return to you?

However, there is someone that very much wants to be sought after that we often ignore:

[1] Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. [2] Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders. [3] Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad. [4] Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually. - Psalm 105:1-4 NASB

If only we put as much energy into pursuing the Lord, as we do pursuing people and things.

If the house is pitch black, we probably didn’t order pizza!

Based on a true story:

 

'Twas a week before Christmas and all through the house

not a creature was stirring

not even a mouse.

 

The children were nestled all snug in their beds

Ma and Pa had taken all their meds!

 

The clock was about to strike 1:00 am

when at the front door there arose such a clatter

the whole family sprang up to see what was the matter.

 

Then what to my wandering eyes should appear

but a Northern Lights delivery man with a six pack of root beer.

 

Go away, go away, go away all.

We're not the ones that made the call!

TSA Agents Just Doing Their Jobs?

(NaturalNews) Some apologists are now attempting to defend the lewd, obscene behavior of TSA agents by claiming "they're just doing their jobs." This is the exact same quote that was used by Nazi war criminals to justify their treatment of Jewish concentration camp prisoners; or by Japanese soldiers who raped and pillaged Chinese villages in World War II; or even by government hit men throughout history who have killed innocents because their bosses told them to.

"I'm just doing my job" is the excuse of the weak-minded. It is a desperate attempt to shift responsibility for one's actions to someone else and therefore take on the actions of a mindless, immoral automaton who is incapable of independent thought. Throughout history, countless atrocities and war crimes have been conducted under the excuse of "I'm just doing my job." To hear it now cited in the United States of America is a worrisome red flag that we are headed into an era where rational thought is being overrun by fear mongering idiots.

Individual human beings have a moral and ethical responsibility to protect their fellow countrymen (and women)

In the real world, the excuse of "just doing my job" doesn't cut it. U.S. government workers have a personal and patriotic responsibility to ensure that their actions do not deprive American citizens of their Constitutional rights. A U.S. government employee who engages in behavior that violates the rights of American citizens -- even if ordered to do so -- is himself guilty of those violations under civil law (and perhaps criminal law, depending on the violation).

Federal Reserve Under Fire for Lending Big to Foreign Banks During Financial Crisis

Yes, job creation is the most important economic issue facing America today.  Unfortunately, there's not a thing the Federal Reserve Bank or any other bank can do about it.

Supporters of the dual mandate say it has worked to balance Fed actions. On Wednesday, Bernanke told business leaders in Ohio that job creation is "probably the most important economic issue facing America today."
