Sterilization for centuries has been a method used by the elite across the World to control the population. Not unlike Hitler, the United States has used sterilization against all races and creeds across our history and it continues to this day. Not always defineable, sterilization comes in many forms and methods. Be it coerced, forced or the undetectable methods all have the same controlling effect and outcome; population control. World population reduction has always been on the minds of the ruling few.

In 1974 the United States Security Council under the leadership of Henry Kissinger released National Security Study Memorandum 200 which addressed worldwide population growth and the effect on U.S. security and overseas interests. During this time the United States was utilizing Indian Health Services to coerce or, in many cases, force Native American Indians into sterilization. The report from the security council found that population growth in the lesser developed countries could create civil unrest and political instability in other more developed countries. The report promoted the use of contraception and other population reduction measures. The report went even farther to suggest that food surplus be withheld from countries that were not implementing the population reduction measures effectively.

During the early to late 1970s it was the policy of Indian Health Service and Department of Health to sterilize Native American females and males. Lehman Brightman, who has devoted much of his life to the issue of sterilization by the Indian Health Service, believes that 40% of the Native women and 10% of the males were sterilized during the 1970s. This would put the number of women sterilized somewhere between 60,000 and 70,000. Many of the females were presented with no other options by social workers who threatened to remove other children from their homes unless they were sterilized. Others were presented with papers written in non-Native english and coerced into signing permission for the sterilization procedures. One case recorded involved a 12 year old girl who went to the doctor for an infection caused by a vaccine and while receiving treatment was given a sedative and a partial hysterectomy while asleep.

Of course the American Indians weren’t the only people effected by the sterilization policies. In the 1960s, the United States industrial leaders, mainly the Rockefellers, became concerned about overpopulation. Sterilizing the poor and minorites became the official policy in the early 1970s with the backing of massive spending. Figures show between 192,000 and 548,000 women were sterilized each year between 1970 and 1977 a 350% increase from years previous.

Strong evidence suggest that the elite were concerned about population control even prior to the 1960s. Fluoridation was introduced in the late 1940s and by the mid 1950s 65% of the water supply in the United States contained dangerous levels of fluoride. Fluoride has long been documented as a poison and linked to a variety of illnesses including cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis and infertility. The Nazis used fluoride to sterilize prisoners and also for population control. To this day a majority of the water in the United States contains fluoride regardless of the data that supports its dangers.

Prescription medications and vaccines are something else to consider when dealing with sterilization. The newest vaccination for women is the human papillomavirus vaccination. This vaccine was pushed through testing and its long term effects are yet unknown. What we do know from Merck’s own documentation is that the vaccine contains Tween 80 which has been known to cause sterilization in animals. In addition there are reports of deaths and miscarriages from women who have received the vaccine while pregnant. Like other vaccines, it’s obvious that it is anything but safe for humans.

The topic of sterilization is something everyone needs to be aware of. The decisions we make concerning our reproductive systems should be solely up to us and not rich elite trying to effect population change. Powerful individuals in this country and around the world have gone to great measures to cover up the truths about our vaccines, medications and environment all together. These hidden truths need to be brought to the forefront so that the public can make informed decisions about their health.

How many times does our government commit treason and call it an accident? This week Pentagon officials came clean to the American people and once again confessed to a sin that should be called treason but will be labeled as an accident.  A year and half ago the United States “accidently” shipped electrical fuses for Minutemen nuclear warheads to Taiwan. The shipment which should’ve contained helicopter batteries is being labeled a huge “mistake” and was supposedly only discovered a week ago.

 How is it that everytime that we make a mistake it has something to do with our nuclear weapons program? Last year our Air Force loaded live nuclear warheads on a B-52 and flew them across the country. If they are trying to reassure the country about the safety of our nuclear program then they are going about it the wrong way? Meanwhile we make cases on the World scene for halting the proliferation of nuclear weapons especially for our adversaries like North Korea and Iran.  In addition, one doesn’t have to dig far to see that the United States gave nuclear technology to North Korea and now only two years later considers them part of the “axis of evil”.

With this little so-called follie we open the door to more problems with China who has already complained about the weapons sales to Taiwan.  Taken together with last months testing of our star wars program by shooting down a satellite in space, China may take this as an aggressive move by the United States.  I see an escalation of arms build up much like those that preceded World War I and World War II.

A new DARPA program is funding Boston Dynamics to build a robotic super dog called BigDog. BigDog is 10 million dollar quadraped about the size of a great dane that can handle all sorts of rough terrain while carrying 340+ pounds on its back. The videos above show the progress the BigDog development team has made over the last couple of years. The abilities of this robot are nothing short of amazing but at the same time scary. This video was shot some months ago and one can only wonder what this robotic beast is capable of now. Watch as the robot walks on ice recovering from every slip, an ability that even humans can’t match. The video also demonstrates its abilities to climb up snow covered embankments.

The army admits they plan to use the beast as a sort of “pack mule” for soldiers in the field. One can only imagine what other applications they plan to use the robot in. At present the robot is operated by control but there are plans soon to replace those controls with AI allowing the robot to think and make decisions for itself. There’s even been talk of a video showing this robot with weapons installed on it. We can’t even make personal computers that do exactly what we want and that are virus free how can we trust a computer operated robot armed with weapons and AI.

Online message boards are flooding with discussions about the “wonder dog”. Many see it as a threat because we all know that technology is a double-edged sword that can be used against humanity, specially when there are talks of arming this thing. There were mixed responses to the news of BigDog. “I for one welcome our robotic dog overlords,” wrote one. Another commented: “We’re all doomed, I tell you! I’m going to the supermarket to stock up on canned food first thing tomorrow morning.” At this point I guess the real future of BigDog can only be played out in our imaginations but one can say without a doubt that this robot won’t be used strictly as a pack animal.

A recent study released by the University of Maryland Medical Center found that the natural supplement Ginkgo biloba decreases your risk for dementia and memory loss in later years. Ginkgo biloba is extracted from Ginkgo trees in Eastern China and is commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The supplement works by increasing blood circulation to the brain and decreasing the risk for degeneration. Since many individuals with Alzheimer’s disease have been found to have brain degeneration this is an ideal supplement for individuals with a family history of Alzheimer’s.

The extract from the leaves of the Gingko biloba tree can actually stabilize and even improve dementia for up to one year. Researchers in New York and Boston found in a separate study that the extract stabilized or improved cognitive function and social behavior in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease or multi-infarct dementia, a form of vascular dementia, for six months to one year.

Various extracts of Gingko biloba have been used in TCM since ancient times as an herbal remedy for asthma and related respiratory ailments as well as for disorders of the brain. Since herbal treatments are more widely accepted by physicians in Europe than in the United States Gingko biloba extract called EGb 761 is being used to treat a range of cognitive disorders. It has also recently been approved in Germany for the treatment of dementia.

Although the mechanism of how it works remains unclear, the extract contains a number of compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Some of these compounds may prevent molecular products of oxidation known as free radicals from causing damage to cells, including brain cells.

In the placebo-controlled clinical trial of the extract conducted in the United States, pills containing 40 milligrams of EGb 761 three times per day were given to a group of patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or multi-infarct dementia. Another group received look-alike placebo pills. The researchers found that 27% of the patients taking EGb improved by at least four points on the ADAS-Cog scale, compared to 14% of those taking the placebo.

Compared with the placebo group, the EGb group included twice as many patients whose cognitive performance improved and half as many whose social functioning worsened. In clinical terms, improvement on the ADAS-Cog of four points may be equivalent to a six-month delay in the progression of the disease. Regarding the safety profile of EGb, no significant differences compared with placebo were observed in the number of patients reporting adverse events.

Many economist and investors are now seeing the truth about the Federal Reserve. The question we should ask ourselves is why do we allow a private bank to have control over the nation’s money supply? The economic crisis we are facing today has been significantly compounded as a result of the Federal Reserve. They have bombarded the economy with more dollars driving the value of the dollar to almost nothing. Everyone now must pull together and speak out against the Federal Reserve. If we continue to allow the Federal Reserve to influence our economic system then we must face the fact we are going to lose everything; our pension funds, houses, cars, boats and our entire way of life.

Even some of the biggest and wealthiest investors are speaking out against the Federal Reserve. Last week Jim Rogers, CEO of Rogers Holdings, told CNBC that the Federal Reserve needs to be abolished. When asked what he would do if he were in the shoes of Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke he replied, “I would abolish the Federal Reserve and I would resign.” He also added that if this occurred, “we don’t have anybody printing money, we don’t have inflation in the land, we don’t have a collapsing U.S. dollar.”

The Constitution never granted the Federal Reserve to print money. Article I of the Constitution only granted Congress the power “to coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures. ” The biggest hoax ever played on the American people is the Federal Reserve. Most Americans believe the Federal Reserve is part of the federal government but in reality they are a group of private banks in control of our money supply. The Federal Reserve has its on interest in mind because the farther the United States goes in debt the more money they make.

Ron Paul has been calling for the abolition of the Federal Reserve for years. He knows the dangers of the Federal Reserve. The above bill was written by Congressman Ron Paul and it’s a bill that needs to be put back on the table immediately before our economy is totally gone.

In 2000, Herb Tucmandl, a former cellist with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, began a painstaking project to record as closely as possible the full range of a symphonic orchestra. He had wanted a cheaper way of trying out his compositions for films and things so the Vienna Symphonic Library was born.

Now the VSL was never meant to replace a real orchestra but sound as close as possible for low budget applications for composers and musicians. It is my humble opinion that the Vienna Symphonic Library is now, if not before, head and shoulders above all other orchestral samplers on the market. The realism and versatility of the Vienna is quite impressive. There are other good samplers out there priced much cheaper, but they sound much cheaper.

Setting up the VSL was no problem but getting Pro Tools to recognize it is another story for another time. Two great programs who just didn’t seem to want to live together on the same computer, (very similar to Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell, or maybe Coca-Cola versus Pepsi would be a better analogy. Paula and Simon aren’t really great, Randy Jackson is the man on that show. He’s actually a real musician.)

I don’t have time here to go into greater specific details about the VSL. Anyway, this wonderful software is best experienced by listening to examples of what it can do. We have all, no doubt, heard the VSL used in dozens of movies, television shows and commercials. It is so good we assumed they hired a giant orchestra to sell us automobiles or scare us out of our wits in some Hollywood spectacular. But it wasn’t a giant orchestra at all; it was a symphony in a box.

The VSL English page is here.

Wonderful demos can be found here.

(I especially like Pavane, by Gabriel Faure, programmed by Jay Bacal. Also French Parade by Guy Bacos. )

Great user Demos here.

Guy Bacos webpage here.

Christian Kardeis and other demos here.

These and other wonderful musicians and their works, using the VSL, are quite often nothing short of brilliant.

(Though not a trained musician I passed the first time after listening carefully but they all sounded great to me.)

It’s amazing what someone will think of to get themselves off the hook. A Japanese actress used the large breast defence to get a conviction of property destruction overturned by the Tokyo High Court. A reconstruction of the crime scene showed the actress, Serena Kozakura, couldn’t have climbed through the window as the accuser had testified. The reconstruction cast doubt on the man’s testimony and the court overturned the conviction.

Score one for all the Johnnie Cochran fans out there.
