How to end cruelty to people, animals and nature, and create a world without war and environmental destruction

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
In the United States, we increasingly find a culture that supports cruelty. Much as we saw in 1939 Nazi Germany, this mindset often accompanies nationalism and pride in one's country. It goes hand in hand with the fervor surrounding fear-based propaganda typically orchestrated by a national leader in response to some sort of military attack. In Germany, it was the Reichstag. In the U.S., it's 9/11. Regardless of the justification for military action, the apparent military goal seems to be little more than control of resources, which once again likens us to cavemen in my earlier example.
So what does it take to stop cruelty against fellow human beings? First, it requires teaching compassion. We must understanding that other human beings have souls and consciousness, and that is it not right to ignore those souls for personal gain, be it power, control of resources or some kind of financial gain. This is a lesson that isn't being taught in American culture. It's not taught in our public schools, it's not an element of free-market capitalism, it isn't something propagated by the press, and it certainly isn't practiced by the current government administration.
Beyond war and economics, we also see cruelty in the world of medicine. Conventional medicine has a long and sordid history of using human beings for medical experiments, even right here in the United States. In fact, news recently surfaced about a hospital that had been using retarded children in radiation experiments. Click here for a Google search on this topic. This and many other medical experiments have been conducted on living, breathing people right here in the United States.
Today we have to recognize that cruelty is not acceptable in the international community. It is not acceptable to attack and kill other human beings for any reason, and certainly not to take control of their resources in order to enrich ourselves. Likewise, it is not acceptable to exploit poverty-wage labor in third-world countries in order to enrich corporations and their CEOs in developed nations.
It's a reflection of our own cruelty to nature, coming back to haunt us. When we are cruel to animals, they can't fight back. But nature is resilient when we are cruel to it. Nature doesn't fight back; it overcomes. If we were to wipe out every single tree, uproot every blade of grass and kill every plant on the planet tomorrow, we might think we had conquered nature. But within a few short years, humanity would be wiped out due to climate changes and the devastation of the food supply.
Simultaneously, we all benefit from the waves of peace, love and connectedness being broadcast by those who meditate with positive intention in churches, mosques, shrines and temples all around the world. Without them, frankly, we would already be lost. Perhaps you should consider joining them. Any moment in which you find peace, silence, clarity of thought, and love for others is a moment of creation and connectedness that ripples out through the lives and souls of every living thing on this planet. You can make a change through intention alone.

As a flower essence, nettles is recommended in times of anger or emotional coldness that can lead to spitefulness and cruelty. It encourages fearlessness in people who feel isolated or have been "stung" by others, helping them regain the ability to connect with others by expressing their anger. It also helps users to release stress and reestablish harmony and unity within themselves. Edible Uses Nettles could be described as a superfood, being extremely nutritive, even more so than spinach.

Now, with the financial support of our own eco-friendly business unit, we can turn up the volume on the messages we've been promoting over the last three years: Preventing disease with nutrition, banning pharmaceutical advertisements, reforming the FDA, switching to clean, renewable energy sources, ending the cruelty of animal "meat" factories, promoting solar technology and much more. With the benefit of these commercial entities, we maintain complete freedom to keep reporting the truth on these topics, with no strings attached.

To further document these effects, Adam reviewed the files of the Royal Society for the Prevention of cruelty to Animals in Britain. One inspector of the society regularly sent reports for the same thirteen-mile stretch of beach. In the twelve months ending 31 August 1936, the inspector had counted over fourteen hundred oiled birds. Despite its far-sighted environmental message, The Pollution of the Sea and Shore by Oil remains an obscure document. I have never seen it cited, and other than my own copy, I have been able to identify only two copies held in major libraries.

Through his fiction, which transcended all the moral bounds known to most societies in its treatment of sex and cruelty, Sade managed to outrage authorities of every political stripe, and suffered the consequences. His name has passed into the language as a synonym for the psychopathic infliction of pain. But biographers and literary critics are now generally agreed that the "Divine Marquis," as his modern admirers have called him, was more sinned against than sinning, and that the atrocities of which he was accused were mainly the work of his imaginative pen.

Earth changes, nature's backlash and lessons yet to be learned by humans (opinion)

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

Of course, nature is not vengeful, and she does not act out of cruelty or anger. Rather, nature responds in kind to the treatment it has received. When humans treat nature with respect, she responds with abundant crops, predictable weather and stable ecosystems that sustain life. But when humans treat planet Earth as a dumping ground for chemicals, pharmaceuticals, power plant emissions and automobile exhaust, nature responds in a way that ultimately "rebalances" the global ecosystem. And how do you rebalance the global ecosystem?

NewsTarget.com releases shocking macrophotography pictures of processed meats: Salami, sausage and hot dogs

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

Feeding hot dogs to children, in my opinion, is a form of child cruelty. Allowing these products to remain in the national food supply is, in my opinion, a form of mass chemical poisoning of the public. I believe that most consumers who eat processed meat products do so blindly, without really thinking about what they're eating and where it came from. This macrophotography project is intended to show consumers exactly what they're really swallowing when they eat these processed meat products.

Beauty Without cruelty (BWC) Aside from some very good products, the best reason to shop the BWC hair-care line is their passion for completely avoiding ingredients that have been tested on animals. Beauty Without cruelty is one of the few companies that has a strict, rigorously defined position concerning animal testing. Its products are not tested on animals and none of them contain animal by-products. However, the company's claim that none of the ingredients it uses has been tested on animals since the 1960s is disingenuous.
For more information about Beauty Without cruelty, call (800) 227-5120 orvisitwww.beautywithoutcruelty.com. What's Good About This Line: Generous-sized products at prices that are more than reasonable; styling products with very light, nonintrusive fragrance. What's Not So Good About It: The essential oils in a few of the products can be a source of scalp irritation and itching. © Daily Benefits Shampoo, Benefits All Hair Types ($6.

This was the raison d'etre of the Aztec human sacrifice—not blood lust, nor a predilection for cruelty, nor an obsession with death, but a fear lest the world and the life on it should perish. The number of victims who died under the knife was grossly exaggerated by the Spaniards, probably in an attempt to justify their Image of Huitzilopochtli, patron god of the Aztecs and deity of war and the sun, from the Codex Borbonicus.

It would be animal cruelty, but human parents feed these same foods to their children, and it's not cruelty; it's popular culture. It's the American way. So my chart is based on the fundamental laws of biochemistry in human beings, and that's as personalized as we need to be. Make sense? Ben: It makes sense. The only other question I had was this: Earlier you said that we can figure out portion size ourselves and that that's usually not an issue, but I believe the old and the new food guide pyramids have the portions laid out for you, at least . Does theHonest Food Guide have portion sizes?

Checking the website for the American Society for the Prevention of cruelty to Animals (AVMA), "Poison Control Center's Household Plant Reference," I found a list that labeled the kalanchoe plant as a "car-diotoxic plant." The AVMA site described various plants that could be fatal, which included hydrangea, lily-of-the-valley, casror bean, foxglove, and kalanchoe. That day my sister, who has no pets, became the owner of this plant. Over rhe next few days Ben improved. He began eating, the vomiting ceased, he was more active, and was back on his drug for hyperthyroidism.

Grille claims that there are many other historical examples of societies that practiced mass childhood cruelty subsequently producing generations of brutal and martially-minded adults. He also believes that the reverse is true, that societies that introduced enlightened elements of child nurturing became less violent and martial in subsequent generations, and more prone to direct their energies into a quest for justice and equality. This led to social innovations. In the American colonies in the eighteenth century, children were often raised to be independent and outspoken.

An aggressive treatment may extend a life a few months to even a year or so longer, but the suffering our patients and loved ones must endure for the marginal benefits seems a cruelty to those whose lives are already so fragile. We're presently losing the battle against cancer. Is there any doubt that this malignant disease must be attacked at much earlier stages in its development before the number of deaths will decrease? We do have hope, you know. Understanding the role of oxidative stress in the development of cancer offers us a host of new possibilities in prevention and treatment.

Genain was an overweight, alcohol-abusing diabetic who treated both his wife and his daughters with incredible cruelty. Even when the girls were babies, Henry Genain showed he cared more about himself than his family. Rather than protecting his daughters from an abnormal life resulting from the media's attention and the public's interest, Mr. Genain charged anyone who wanted a glimpse of the girls a 25-cent fee. This only came to an end when he began to become concerned about their possible kidnapping.67 Henry Genain often kept a gun in his pants pocket.

Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind

Despite its tradition of cruelty to those who did not conform, the Spanish Roman Catholic hierarchy in the Andes, as in the Caribbean, often saw itself as the protector of the Indians. This could be sustained, despite the fact that in the Americas, popes had almost no authority. Bishops were in reality appointed by the Kings of Spain or, as was far more likely, by various viceroys. After 1569, the personnel in the Church had multiplied sufficiently to provide a priest in every settlement and absolute control over the quality and quantity of every level of education.
Despite this and despite deliberate Spanish cruelty, the Empire of the Sun proved to be difficult to subjugate. The Amerindian population continued to die of white man's diseases but survivors resisted the Spaniards more stubbornly than was expected, largely because no Spaniard could be recognized as a replacement for the Great Inca. There was a series of civil troubles until 1571, in which year the then Viceroy established a form of government, which lasted until the revolts against the metropolitan Spanish that culminated in the muddled Independence movement against Spanish rule in the 1820s.
Chaos and much cruelty ensued, and the French metropolitan government intervened. So did the British, who after 1794 were ar war with the French. The most unspeakable atrocities of every kind were perpetrated by all sides. A great black leader, Toussaint l'Ouverture, appeared and ruled by ancient, animistic means. More economic chaos resulted, and most of the whites left for Cuba, Martinique, and Guadeloupe.

Instead, it is a more tamasic food, which reflects cruelty, pain, and lack of consciousness. This is symbolically reflected in the amount of pus cells per liter of milk. According to Robert Cohen of NotMilk.com, milk in Florida has 633 million pus cells (white blood cells) per liter, which is higher than any other state; the state with the lowest amount of pus cells per liter of milk is Montana with 236 million pus cells per liter. The milk available today, even raw milk from organic cows, is ama (toxic), not rasa (pure).

Such a low valuation would suggest in consequence the same kind of careless cruelty from which slaves suffered at the time of the Roman Emperor Augustus, largely because there were too many of them. It is possible to calculate the number of slaves' lives per ton of sugar produced in the eighteenth century. There is insufficient data about the Andean mines, but an attempt should be made to shine some light upon this ratio, at least at Potosi. Between 1560 and 1620, about £240 million contemporary value of silver was mined and smelted, at a world value which today would be much greater.
