Too cute not to share

NO-PEPSI

For decades we have known that soft drinks aren’t good for us. But some of us seem to unconsciously just grab for them. Especially when we’re parched!

Ingredient HEK is Human embrionic tissue of an aborted fetus cell line. All diet drinks Mountain Dew, Pepsi, Aquafina, Sierra Mist, Mug Rootbeer, Ocean Spray, Seattle’s Best, Double shot energy drinks, Frappochino, Gatorade, Lipton Tea, Propel and Sobe. You are drinking yourself. It’s hard to get your head around the concept.

Who owns Pepsi Co? Senomix……..Queen Beatrice of the Netherlands, whose father was a Nazi officer. Prince Bernhardt who created the Bilderbergs.

You know what I always say…..”CAN’T make this stuff up”

Human Dipode cell lines (approved by the US) and they are still in use today.

Like I said, couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried. Just do me a favor….please STOP drinking this. Or just know I let you know what’s in it. ;-{

You can google court documents, find more information yourself, etc. But for now be safe, eat well and be careful what you drink.

Cheers!

Can you imagine if everyone boycotted McDonalds all across the nation for just one day?? Just ONE day. Think we would have an impact? And not just on the corporations, but on the health and vitality of a nation.

Be the change. Pass this around.

Kittens

Just sayin!

They have been performing this since the 60’s. Think about it. (Pssst, they already have a cure for Aids and Cancer……dead doctor’s don’t lie)

Be the Change!

HUFFINGTON POST, September 12 2011

Scientists are making strides in the fight against HIV/AIDS, and the latest involves … glow-in-the-dark cats.

A Mayo Clinic team has successfully engineered cats to produce a protein that helps their bodies resist the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), which causes AIDS in cats. Researchers were able to do this by inserting a monkey gene into feline eggs before they were fertilized with sperm. The genetic engineering has the potential to protect the cats from being infected by FIV.

FIV and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are very similar diseases, in that they both deplete the body’s own immune cells from fighting off infection. So, the finding that it’s possible to insert protective genes — though in cats — is also a step forward for HIV research for humans, researchers said.

The team engineered a jellyfish gene into the feline eggs so that they could see if the gene engineering worked — and it did, as evidenced by the cats’ ability to glow in the dark.

The scientists also learned that this genetic protection in the cats can be passed on through generations, because the engineered cats had kittens that were also able to produce proteins that protect against virus invasion.

However, it still remains to be seen if the genetically engineered cats are actually able to resist FIV, though the science is promising, LiveScience reported.

“We haven’t shown cats that are AIDS-proof,” study researcher Eric Poeschla, a molecular biologist and infectious disease specialist at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, told LiveScience. “We still have to do infection studies involving whole cats. That the protection gene is expressed in the cat lymphoid organs, where AIDS virus spread and cell death mostly play out, is encouraging to us, however.”

This isn’t the first time a cat has been engineered to glow in the dark. In 2008, TODAY reported that Audubon Nature Institute scientists were able to engineer an orange tabby cat to glow fluorescent green in the darkness. The purpose of that experiment was to see if they could successfully perform gene implantation. Cats and humans have a similar genetic makeup, TODAY reported.

Gibson Guitars

If you own a Gibson Guitar, even if purchased over twenty years ago, don’t be surprised if swat teams show up on your door step and confiscate this classic and dangerous treasure you own. No, I am not being funny. Swat teams showed up at their factory

Les Paul is rolling over in his grave. The amount of unconstitutional atrocities being imposed on this legendary company is mind-boggling yet it’s becoming a daily occurrence. Innocent employees being interrogated with threat of imprisonment. Going to prison for making a guitar? Are you getting this??? First the Amish….. then dairy farmers……. then garage sales…..lemonade stands………..smart meters…….now guitars?????  We are no longer safe in an insane world and don’t expect this to stop here. Come On Nashville, you have it in you to do something about this!

The New World Order is here. Call your congressmen and make a difference. Otherwise, this and more unfathomable nightmares will continue. Let’s be clear, this isn’t about the wood, this is about the workers using the wood. Made in America is becoming illegal (Lacey Act effective May 22, 2008). They want you to have poisoned food, dirty water, polluted air, and no way for you to feed and clothe your family.

“The mother of debauchery is not joy, but joylessness.”— Nietzsche.

BE THE CHANGE!

Here’s the article from the Wall Street Journal:

Federal agents swooped in on Gibson Guitar Wednesday, raiding factories and offices in Memphis and Nashville, seizing several pallets of wood, electronic files and guitars. The Feds are keeping mum, but in a statement yesterday Gibson’s chairman and CEO, Henry Juszkiewicz, defended his company’s manufacturing policies, accusing the Justice Department of bullying the company. “The wood the government seized Wednesday is from a Forest Stewardship Council certified supplier,” he said, suggesting the Feds are using the aggressive enforcement of overly broad laws to make the company cry uncle.

It isn’t the first time that agents of the Fish and Wildlife Service have come knocking at the storied maker of such iconic instruments as the Les Paul electric guitar, the J-160E acoustic-electric John Lennon played, and essential jazz-boxes such as Charlie Christian’s ES-150. In 2009 the Feds seized several guitars and pallets of wood from a Gibson factory, and both sides have been wrangling over the goods in a case with the delightful name “United States of America v. Ebony Wood in Various Forms.”

The question in the first raid seemed to be whether Gibson had been buying illegally harvested hardwoods from protected forests, such as the Madagascar ebony that makes for such lovely fretboards. And if Gibson did knowingly import illegally harvested ebony from Madagascar, that wouldn’t be a negligible offense. Peter Lowry, ebony and rosewood expert at the Missouri Botanical Garden, calls the Madagascar wood trade the “equivalent of Africa’s blood diamonds.” But with the new raid, the government seems to be questioning whether some wood sourced from India met every regulatory jot and tittle.

It isn’t just Gibson that is sweating. Musicians who play vintage guitars and other instruments made of environmentally protected materials are worried the authorities may be coming for them next.

If you are the lucky owner of a 1920s Martin guitar, it may well be made, in part, of Brazilian rosewood. Cross an international border with an instrument made of that now-restricted wood, and you better have correct and complete documentation proving the age of the instrument. Otherwise, you could lose it to a zealous customs agent—not to mention face fines and prosecution.

John Thomas, a law professor at Quinnipiac University and a blues and ragtime guitarist, says “there’s a lot of anxiety, and it’s well justified.” Once upon a time, he would have taken one of his vintage guitars on his travels. Now, “I don’t go out of the country with a wooden guitar.”

The tangled intersection of international laws is enforced through a thicket of paperwork. Recent revisions to 1900’s Lacey Act require that anyone crossing the U.S. border declare every bit of flora or fauna being brought into the country. One is under “strict liability” to fill out the paperwork—and without any mistakes.

It’s not enough to know that the body of your old guitar is made of spruce and maple: What’s the bridge made of? If it’s ebony, do you have the paperwork to show when and where that wood was harvested and when and where it was made into a bridge? Is the nut holding the strings at the guitar’s headstock bone, or could it be ivory? “Even if you have no knowledge—despite Herculean efforts to obtain it—that some piece of your guitar, no matter how small, was obtained illegally, you lose your guitar forever,” Prof. Thomas has written. “Oh, and you’ll be fined $250 for that false (or missing) information in your Lacey Act Import Declaration.”

Consider the recent experience of Pascal Vieillard, whose Atlanta-area company, A-440 Pianos, imported several antique Bösendorfers. Mr. Vieillard asked officials at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species how to fill out the correct paperwork—which simply encouraged them to alert U.S. Customs to give his shipment added scrutiny.

There was never any question that the instruments were old enough to have grandfathered ivory keys. But Mr. Vieillard didn’t have his paperwork straight when two-dozen federal agents came calling.

Facing criminal charges that might have put him in prison for years, Mr. Vieillard pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of violating the Lacey Act, and was handed a $17,500 fine and three years probation.

Given the risks, why don’t musicians just settle for the safety of carbon fiber? Some do—when concert pianist Jeffrey Sharkey moved to England two decades ago, he had Steinway replace the ivories on his piano with plastic.

Still, musicians cling to the old materials. Last year, Dick Boak, director of artist relations for C.F. Martin & Co., complained to Mother Nature News about the difficulty of getting elite guitarists to switch to instruments made from sustainable materials. “Surprisingly, musicians, who represent some of the most savvy, ecologically minded people around, are resistant to anything about changing the tone of their guitars,” he said.

You could mark that up to hypocrisy—artsy do-gooders only too eager to tell others what kind of light bulbs they have to buy won’t make sacrifices when it comes to their own passions. Then again, maybe it isn’t hypocrisy to recognize that art makes claims significant enough to compete with environmentalists’ agendas.

PEACE

The epitome of hypocrisy. An inside job yet Americans are still in horrible denial on such a large scale tragedy. Hitler had a protocol as well as others, which our leaders find simply effective. Wake Up America before its too late!

No longer allowed to sell unpasteurized milk at Farmers Markets. You will be arrested.
No longer allowed to have garage sales in your own yard (for cancer medical costs). You will be arrested.

Smart Meters. Chemtrails. Fluoride. Taxes. More taxes. More and more taxes.
