 This is nothing but an escalation of violence, and it can lead only to more war, pain, suffering and death. Of course, all the U.S. companies that manufacture military hardware profit handsomely. The war industry in this country not depends on war for its economic survival.
The way to stop this escalating cycle of violence is to adopt humility and compassion rather than ego and cruelty. Again, that stance does not seem acceptable by most of the American population, who continue to boast bumper stickers that read, "These colors don't run," or "American Pride. |

 The DEA is AWOL on most drug issues
Where is this war on Drugs when it comes to Grandma in the nursing home, who died of a stroke caused by Cox-2 inhibitor drugs? Where is the war on Drugs when little Johnny schoolboy picks up a rifle and blows away his classmates because he's on antidepressants and can't tell the difference between real life and a first-person-shooter video game? Where is the war on Drugs when 16,500 people each year die, shitting digested blood until they pass out and die because that daily dose of aspirin tore a gaping hole in their stomach? |

 How to control a nation
In World war II, the Germans attempted to steal natural resources from neighboring nations by forcefully occupying and controlling the targeted territories. Today, war is far more sophisticated: America steals national resources by patenting seeds, genes, medicines and ideas, then applying economic and political pressure against targeted nations to forcefully take a cut of their productivity through the application of intellectual property law. |

Again, that stance does not seem acceptable by most of the American population, who continue to boast bumper stickers that read, "These colors don't run," or "American Pride." My favorite is "God bless America," which implies two rather bizarre ideas: 1) that God blesses war, and 2) God shouldn't bless anybody else. |

 REPPED: Mike: To start with, can you give people an overview of where you think the war on spam is today? [This interview was conducted in early 2005.]
Levine: I'd say the war on spam is about where World war I was in 1916 -- you know, it's gotten to the point where it's way worse than either side though it was going to be, and although I think we're starting to see some progress on the anti-spam side, we still have an awful lot more work to do.
Mike: Do you think that a solution, then, is many years away? |

The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed during war.
—Chinese proverb duces excess blood cells, especially red blood cells. Known by many other names, including primary polycythemia, myeloproliferative disorder, Vasquez's disease, and Osier's disease, it primarily affects people around the age of 60 and strikes more men than women. |

| Basically, it would make the whole war on Drugs look stupid. Which it most assuredly is, at least when it comes to marijuana.
I can understand taking a tough stance on hard drugs (crack, meth, heroin, etc.), but arresting cancer patients who smoke joints for pain control sounds a lot more like oppression than law enforcement to me.
So what is the war on Drugs? It's an excuse to control you. It is a system that keeps the population in a state of constant fear so that heroic politicians can get elected on empty promises to "keep fighting the war on drugs! |

 In the Revolutionary war (1775-1783) an estimated 42% of all war wounds were lethal, a number that declined to 33% for the Civil war and only to 30% for World war II. In the current war (at this writing in 2005) in Iraq and Afghanistan, that figure has dropped to only 10%. "Though firepower has increased, lethality has decreased,"27 claim the authors. This is undoubtedly true for the long course of history. |

 For example, here in the United States, it is illegal for the President to declare an act of war. Only Congress can declare an act of war, yet Congress never declared war against Iran or Afghanistan. Bush sort of declared war, but only against a concept -- terrorism -- and not an enemy state.
If this Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act passes and gets signed into law, there are all sorts of government actions against the People that should technically be considered acts of terrorism. |

 Remember, MSG went into heavy use following World war II. It wasn't removed from baby foods until 1969, and even then, babies, infants and children experienced heavy exposure to MSG thanks to the use of other ingredients that contain MSG but aren't called "monosodium glutamate." So unless you were born before World war II, chances are that your childhood involved at least some exposure to MSG.
But how was this MSG / obesity link established in the first place? It happened in 1968, as described below. |

 If a nation can't handle stress, if a nation is dumbed down, perhaps its people won't be as effective when it comes to making important decisions about war and peace. Perhaps they will be less likely to ask important questions before becoming embroiled in foreign entanglements.
Another disturbing trend is for xenoestrogens to blur the differences between male and female. For example, scientists are now finding male fish with ovarian tissues in their testes off the contaminated waters of Los Angeles and Orange counties in California. |
| Reducing dependence on the turbulent Middle East 'is a war issue,' said former CIA Chief R. James Woolsey, who calls the cars' potential 'phenomenal.' What's the secret? It's as simple as adding more batteries and a plug to hybrids such as the Prius."
The plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are superhybrids with larger batteries. "This gives drivers the ability to run entirely on electric power at highway speeds for 20-plus miles. For long trips, the battery never runs down."29
In New York City, the big question, however, is how much legroom commuters expect from their taxis. |
| Did they profit from the war? I was shaking my head yet feeling very positive about this present experience. Sanity, I'm sure, is doing a balancing act between opposing thoughts in your brain, and that was what I was doing with all of the thoughts going through my head.
We left the conference room and walked down the hallway. It seemed that everyone who worked at NatureWorks was about the size of an NFL tackle, and I began to understand the reason for the long-standing national dominance of the Corn-husker football teams. Corn-fed beef and corn-fed kids. They were big. |

Western medicine is also invading the continents around the world, bringing its expensive, heartless and corporate-controlled system of medicine to nations who were actually far healthier, happier and more financially solvent before America showed up with all its patented chemicals. |

| One unintended consequence of the war in Iraq," said Director Caspersen when we return to the West Trenton headquarters of the Office of Counter-Terrorism on the sixteenth floor of 240 West State Street, "is that foreign terrorists are receiving battlefield experience." Caspersen himself served in the U.S. military as an explosives expert. "It's one thing to set a booby trap in a training exercise and quite another to do so in the heat of actual battle. Our enemies are receiving battle training and becoming more experienced and 'battle hardened,'" he said. |

 FDA and Big Pharma, a war has been declared on the American people, and it is far more dangerous than any terrorist action. It is a war against Americans' health, and the U.S. Senate has now condemned itself as a band of sellouts for giving official legislative approval for the waging of that war against Americans. It is a war that will produce millions of casualties over the next decade. Dropping a nuclear bomb over a major American city would kill fewer people than the FDA / Big Pharma / Big Government agenda will now kill, thanks to the actions of our lawmakers. |

| Failing nations need heroes, and when those heroes are no longer found in the realms of science, art, politics or global achievement, they will be fabricated from the false victories of war.
The tearful American mom whose son dies in Iraq is, indeed, suffering a tremendous personal loss, but her loss is a necessary part of feeding the population's desire to proclaim there are heroes among them. Through the sacrificing of young men who are killed in Iraq, the people of America can find common connection, righteousness, and purpose where none existed before. |

| No one but a comparatively few brave, caring souls seems to care about the Earth anymore, and the fact that our spendthrift, wasteful ways were the distant but nonetheless root cause of the war in Iraq. Most of us are experiencing psychic pain, but we are so totally disconnected from die Earth as we roll around in our cagelike dino cars, we don't even notice that the disconnect has become more real than the connection. I'm just another angry L.A. driver. I'm pissed at everybody. Sometimes I don't even know why. I look at the long line of cars. |

| At the same time, I'm not at all fooled by this silly "War on Drugs" charade, which is really nothing more than enforcement of corporate drug profits at gunpoint. If we had a genuine war on drugs in this country that really worked to protect the American people we'd send DEA agents into drug company offices and confiscate all the legalized but deadly medications being manufactured, distributed and deceptively sold to unwitting Americans today.
Medical marijuana is a threat to both the profits and power of drug companies, not to mention the credibility of the DEA. |

| The nations that survive and prosper over the next hundred years will be:
Those nations that save money and invest in their future (rather then spending it on war or underfunded entitlement program).
Those nations that reject western foods and pass laws to protect their populations from dangerous chemicals in foods, beverages and consumer products.
Those nations that reject American intellectual property guidelines and ban corporations or private individuals from "owning" patents on medicines, seeds and genes. |

The war on Drugs, you see, turns a blind eye to the death and suffering caused by these drugs. The DEA pretends prescription drugs don't even exist. No prescription drug death has ever been prevented by the DEA as far as I know. Yet 100,000 Americans are killed each year by FDA-approved drugs. The DEA has no interest whatsoever in protecting Americans from these drugs. Ever wonder why? |

 It's almost as if the pharmaceutical industry has declared war on the health of the American public. Because, indeed, the number of American fatalities here exceeds that of the Vietnam war, Desert Storm and the war with Iraq combined. It also dwarfs the number of Americans killed by terrorists or terrorist acts. In fact, it dwarfs the total number of crime-related deaths in the United States over the last decade. If these statistics are accurate, Vioxx has killed more U.S. citizens over the last few years than all murderers, rapists, burglars and terrorists combined. |

While covering the war in Iraq in 2003, NBC News correspondent David Bloom, 39, died from a pulmonary embolism caused by a clot that formed in his leg (DVT), then broke off and entered his lungs. Bloom had complained of leg cramps while riding for long hours in the narrow confines of a converted army tank.
Also at high risk for developing these clots are people with broken legs, those undergoing surgery (especially orthopedic, pelvic, or abdominal operations), and cancer patients. And if you've had one episode of DVT, you're at increased risk of having another. |

 The mechanism appears to be controlled by how the vagus nerve releases its main chemical, acetylcholine, and deactivates the king of white blood cells, macrophages, so our immune system isn't in a continual state of war. Here's one elegant way (besides putting an electronic stimulator around your vagus): a form of movement we discussed in the memory chapter, called chi-gong. This exercise combines meditation and movement to soothe the vagus. See how to do it in our YOU Toolbox on page 350. |

 If we could figure out the things that make immune systems do their job of keeping things in balance, we would have a completely new set of tools to fight cancer, not just the traditional poisons that came out of toxic war gases. We needed to turn around the way we looked at things. We needed to understand what fueled cancer and what would lead to its natural destruction within the body. We basically needed an entirely new paradigm—not one based on cutting, burning or poisoning."
Tuckfelt remembers his impatience with the incremental, puzzle-solving approach of normal science. |
| The new war had more complex and elusive goals. "Fighting cancer involves far more than taking stock knowledge off the shelf of the laboratories and slapping it into some design problems. We are taking a deeper look into what can be done to strengthen the body's defenses to cope with the disease and not merely coming up with ways of killing the many different types of ailments that have arisen from unregulated cell growth. Of course we have to pay more attention to prevention, to how the things people do every day affect their chances of getting cancer. |
