Mainstream media criticizes wikipedia because it represents a decentralization of their information monopoly Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Rest assured, if I ever get my hands on enough funds to conduct such investigative journalism and fund a team of researchers and reporters, I'll be using wikipedia as a source for leads and information. wikipedia is a good thing -- the fact that the media bashes it should tell you that it's actually a very important competitor in the information monopoly that used to be held by the popular press. Old school newspapers -- the kind printed on dead trees -- are dinosaurs.

That's why wikipedia is almost always neutral on the issues. And that makes it more accurate than mainstream information sources. The democratization of information Wikipedia is about the decentralization of information; it's about the democratization of fact gathering and fact reporting. That's a wonderful phenomenon in the world of information and media. It's something that the traditional media doesn't like to see at all. It would rather have a centrally controlled decision maker for information, like you get with the Associated Press.

Mainstream media criticizes wikipedia because it represents a decentralization of their information monopoly Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

When I see newspapers bashing wikipedia over a lack of quality control, I have to hold up a mirror in front of the newspapers and say, "Look at what you do. How many journalists from the New York Times and other papers have been fired after being caught making up all the facts in their articles?" Some journalists, even well known ones, will simply invent interviews with fictional sources and use that as evidence to write their stories.

That's why wikipedia is really a milestone in the history of the internet and the history of free information, and that's exactly why it is under constant assault by the traditional institutions that influence public opinion in this country, such as the press, the White House, and large corporations. Real information vs. processed news Your average hometown newspaper really just pretends to practice genuine journalism.

Thumbs up to wikipedia, the Public Library of Science (PLoS journals) and other open-source projects that engage readers and decentralize information rather than trying to dictate it.

See the wikipedia entry at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two_Sides_of_the_Smothers_Brothers ) Beyond all the products I mentioned here, Alex tells me that the Empowered Chocolate labs are working hard on new inventions. Okay, they're not really labs; they're more like kitchens, and they're probably taking their own sweet time eating all the mistakes and calling it "research," but before long, we're all going to witness the introduction of yet more Empowered Foods products.

Consumer fraud alert: Swiss Diamond non-stick cookware made with same chemical as Teflon Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

A quick search of wikipedia provided the answer: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTFE) As wikipedia explains: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fluoropolymer discovered by Roy J. Plunkett (1910–1994) of DuPont in 1938. It was introduced as a commercial product in 1946 and is generally known to the public by DuPont's brand name Teflon®. Huh? Teflon? Wait a minute. Didn't the Swiss Diamond website just claim that the product contained no Teflon? If you look back at the Swiss Diamond website screen capture, the careful wording of their answer now becomes clear.

Earth changes, nature's backlash and lessons yet to be learned by humans (opinion) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Click here to read up on the Saruman saga at wikipedia.) The Ents, led by Treebeard, hurled boulders at Saruman's army and even unleashed a river by smashing a dam, drowning orcs in a torrent of water that only the trees could withstand due to their mass and height. It was a brilliant display of evil being defeated by the forces of nature. All the weapons used by the Ents were elementals, too: the boulders were from rock, the flood was composed of water, and the trees themselves were made of wood.

Review: Violet Ray Crystal Resonator machine broadcasts healing energy for your body, mind and home Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

One explanation behind all this is that the Earth itself hums at a specific frequency, well below the audible detection range of human beings, called the Schumann frequency or Schumann resonance, which you can read about on wikipedia. If you multiply this Shumann resonance by multiples of two, you get higher harmonics of the same frequency, sort of like a higher octave on the piano. You can have a low level C note or a high level C note, and if you play them together, they are in harmony even though one is an octave higher than the other.

Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey See book keywords and concepts

INTRODUCTION According to Wikipedia: "Pollyanna tells the story of Pollyanna Whittier, a young girl who goes to live with her wealthy Aunt Polly after her father's death. Pollyanna's philosophy of life centers around what she calls 'The Glad Game': she always tries to find something to be glad about in every situation." Given the increasing proportion of aged individuals in the United States and other countries, with all of their attendant ills, if there was ever a time when a "Pollyanna" is needed, it is now.

Jay Robb launches The Fruit Flush 3-Day Detox Diet Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

They're known as fruitarians (click here for the wikipedia entry) and while every fruitarian follows a slightly different diet pattern (some eat nuts and seeds, too), they all based their diets on fruit. And the fruitarians I've known look and feel fantastic! My only skepticism about the book is its claim that you can, "Lose up to 9 pounds in 3 days!" This is only possible if you have 9 pounds of fecal matter stuck in your digestive tract that are flushed out by the fruit.

They grow in no soil or medium, simply relying on the nutrient mist to supply all necessary nutrients and moisture.

The leaves and crown of the plant extended above into air. The root and crown of the plant are separated by the plant support structure. The lowest stem portion and root system are sprayed/misted for short durations with a hydro-atomized pure water/nutrient solution.

Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, 7th Edition Paula Begoun and Bryan Barron See book keywords and concepts

The following are a few I learned from www.wikipedia.com, the National Institutes of Health (www.nih.gov), and other Web sites on stem cell research: How many kinds of adult stem cells exist, and in which tissues do they exist? What are the sources of adult stem cells in the body? Are they "leftover" embryonic stem cells, or do they arise in some other way? Why do they remain in an undifferentiated state when all the cells around them have differentiated? Do adult stem cells normally exhibit plasticity, or do they only transdifferentiate when scientists manipulate them experimentally?

Americans betrayed by Democratic senators with surprise amendment that protects Big Pharma monopoly Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Instead, you have a Plutocracy (see wikipedia entry on Plutocracy), where the wealthy elite control the political process and use laws to further enrich themselves at the expense of the public. It's an accurate description of what's happening in America today: The public is no longer represented by the Senate, the FDA, the USDA or the EPA. Instead, each of these governmental bodies (legislative for the Senate, executive for the other departments) is now operating in the interests of corporations.

Inositol for Sleep LOOK UP "sleep disorder" on wikipedia and you'll get no fewer than seventeen different entries ranging from bruxism (grinding your teeth) to snoring. (There's even one called sexsomnia. Give up? It means "sleep sex." And no, I did not make that up.) All of the disorders have one thing in common: They interfere with a good night's sleep. And that can spell serious problems indeed. Many important things happen during sleep.

Ritalin stunts growth of children; long-term risk to children's health unknown Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Click here to read about amphetamines on wikipedia. Not surprisingly, when it comes to Ritalin and the drugging of children, it's all about the profit. The best way to market a drug is to first market a disorder, then pitch the drug as the only known treatment for that disorder. The chemical abuse of children In my opinion, what's happening today in psychiatric medicine is a crime against humanity and a form of chemical abuse towards children.

Never mind the radiation exposure of 20 - 75 rems per minute! See wikipedia article here. Result: Massive increase in cancer among parents and children who visited the shoe stores. Doctors remained silent on this significant health risk for decades while millions were harmed -- even after strong evidence pointed to the fact that X-ray radiation caused cancer. 1950's Hey pregnant women, take thalidomide for your cancer!
