Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown David Steinman See book keywords and concepts

On July 14, 2005, the Senate finally and unanimously passed a near-meaningless, nonbinding resolution that called for federal standards to protect the country's chemical plants from terrorist attacks, the first time either body of Congress has done so.12 The immediate threat from terrorists deserves number one priority, and we have to do everything possible to secure the safety of our chemical plants. They are our greatness, but they are also a great vulnerability. America is dangerously dependent on foreign oil.

Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain John J. Ratey, MD See book keywords and concepts

Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, LeDoux and coauthor Jack Gorman published an article in the American Journal of Psychiatry titled, "A Call to Action: Overcoming Anxiety through Active Coping." Essentially, active coping means doing something in response to whatever danger or problem is causing anxiety rather than passively worrying about it. It doesn't specifically imply physical activity, but certainly exercise qualifies as a mode of active coping. And as it turns out, movement may not be an incidental aspect of active coping.

The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World Lynne McTaggart See book keywords and concepts

Krucoff s study fell right in the midst of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and their aftermath. For three months, enrollment fell so sharply that he had to amend its design. He developed a two-tier prayer strategy by recruiting twelve second-tier prayer groups. As soon as new patients were added to the study, the second-tier groups were to pray for the members of the first-tier prayer groups, who had been praying for the patients all along.

Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease Dr. Sharon Moalem See book keywords and concepts

In the months immediately after the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, there was a dramatic spike in the number of late-term miscarriages—in California. It would be tempting to assume that there is an obvious, behavior-related explanation for this—higher stress made it harder for some expectant mothers to take care of themselves. It is tempting to accept this except for one thing—the rise in miscarriages only affected male fetuses. In California, in October and November 2001, there was a 25 percent increase in the rate of male miscarriages.

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

The predominant mindset in response to terrorist attacks, for example, continues to be revenge. This revenge is propped up by the media and the war-mongering rhetoric of the current administration. But when we act on revenge, we simply create more hatred and more violence. We take out one Saddam Hussein, but we create 40 more who believe they have even more justification to attack the United States and kill even more Americans in future terrorist attacks. It is a Medusa: kill one snake, and two more appear in its place.

Experts believe the temporary hijackings were training exercises for terrorist attacks. ?In the United States, in January 2004, a security guard was shot outside a BASF Corp. ammonia terminal in Freeport, Texas, after he questioned a man described as Middle Eastern taking photographs of a multistory ammonia tank. Authorities suspect that the guard may have stumbled upon a terrorist reconnaissance operation. ?

According to a report in the Chicago Tribune, figures from a congressional research service ranked Illinois fourth in the nation in terms of risk to local populations of 100,000 to 999,000 from "worst-case scenario" chemical-facility terrorist attacks or accidents. (Ahead of Illinois, with as many as 25 such facilities, are 67 in Texas, 58 in California, and 50 in Louisiana.) "The fact is, we have a very diversified economy and our enemies look at some of our economic assets as targets," former Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge told a congressional committee.

How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace Paul D. Blanc, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

It was the agent used in the famous Japanese subway terrorist attacks in the mid-1990s. Sarin and other toxins of this group are versatile. They need not be inhaled to do their damage. A drop on the skin is enough to kill; once absorbed, it then blocks breathing by paralyzing the muscles of respiration. But sarin is also lethal through its damage to the brain. Given their remarkably low Haber constants, sarin and closely related poisons will remain major chemical terrorist threats for the foreseeable future.

Financial Armageddon: Protecting Your Future from Four Impending Catastrophes Michael J. Panzner See book keywords and concepts

Signs of a shift were already apparent in the summer of 2006 amid the collapse of the Doha round of global trade negotiations, initiated at the behest of the United States after the 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. In the end, the failure came down to bitter and continuing disputes over farm subsidies and a raft of tariff measures, as well as a "widening gap between America and others over what the round should achieve," according to The Economist.

Other disasters, including the September 11 terrorist attacks, also triggered an ad hoc response, with Washington authorizing at least $20 billion for New York alone. That event also led to the creation of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, which provided a backstop of $100 billion a year in the event of similar hostilities.

Not surprisingly, one of the most profound effects was felt during and immediately after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.22 These initial results left Nelson and Radin with many tantalizing questions. If there was such a thing as a world mind, perhaps little flashes of inspiration in it could account for the most monstrous and magnificent moments in human history, or maybe negative consciousness was also like a germ that could infect people and take hold. Germany had been depressed in every sense after the First World War.

The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century James Howard Kunstler See book keywords and concepts

It's worth considering that highly explosive LNG tanker ships would make excellent targets for terrorist attacks, and even under normal operating circumstances, liquefied gas transport is much more hazardous than oil. Port facilities and terminals are equally vulnerable to attack or sabotage. Therefore, the political problems in siting LNG terminals are formidable. An LNG terminal is classic "LULU" (locally undesirable land use) certain to provoke a NIMBY response.

Even after the terrorist attacks of September n, 2001, that collapsed the twin towers of the World Trade Center and sliced through the Pentagon, America is still sleepwalking into the future. We have walked out of our burning house and we are now headed off the edge of a cliff. Beyond that cliff is an abyss of economic and political disorder on a scale that no one has ever seen before. I call this coming time the Long Emergency. What follows is a harsh view of the decades ahead and what will happen in the United States.

In 1965, the Fatah arm of the PLO began terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians. The PLO eventually managed to instigate the gravest rift in inter-Arab relations in the early 1970s when their armed gangs, using Jordan as a base, threatened the civil order of that country. Eventually, King Hussein massacred several thousand Palestinian irregulars, which led to a rash of assassinations, hijackings, and terrorist exploits under the rubric of the Black September movement.

Those who defend the use of torture often acknowledge the horror involved, but claim torture is necessary for national security or other important aims, like preventing terrorist attacks. There's one problem with their arguments: torture doesn't work. Professor Darius Rejali knows more about torture than nearly anyone else in the world, and his research shows conclusively that nearly all the arguments made in favor of torture are bogus.

Over the next twenty-four hours, 3,000 Americans will have heart attacks,2 roughly the same number of people who perished in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The heart is the centerpiece of life and, more often than not in America, it is the centerpiece of death. Malfunction of the heart and/or circulation system will kill 40% of Americans,3 more than those killed by any other injury or ailment, including cancer. Heart disease has been our number one cause of death for almost one hundred years.4 This disease does not recognize gender or race boundaries; all are affected.

The Divided Mind: The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders John E. Sarno, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

But if, on the other hand, symptoms are designed to protect us from experiencing painful and dangerous emotions, as we have shown, then our reactions to the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington are logical—the increased bad feelings had to be contained in the unconscious, hence the need for symptoms. The fear of death and disability, noted above as a life pressure, was certainly enhanced in many people that tragic day. Guilt and shame are intolerable to the child-primitive and evoke anger, emotional pain and sadness, and there is no dearth of those emotions among all of us.

Psychiatry and disease mongering: Road Rage Disorder is latest spontaneously "discovered" disease Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

With enough media coverage and advertising, the public can be convinced to hallucinate practically anything: Saddam Hussein was responsible for the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Housing prices will keep going up forever. The U.S. economy is strong. Imperialism is freedom. And most of the population suffers from a variety of mental disorders that must be treated with psychotropic drugs. These are all consensus hallucinations. There are many more, in case you're curious.

We take out one Saddam Hussein, but we create 40 more who believe they have even more justification to attack the United States and kill even more Americans in future terrorist attacks. It is a Medusa: kill one snake, and two more appear in its place. 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 South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss Arthur Agatston, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

I can't tell you how many people went off the diet in the fall and winter of 2001. The terrorist attacks jarred us out of our sense of safety, or they made weight seem like an awfully trivial concern in the larger scheme of things. That's the kind of anxiety and insecurity that seeks comfort in a sweet mouthful or a brimming dinner plate. It's hard to advise people how to cope with that kind of stress while sticking to a diet. Elsewhere in this book I've included testimonials from people who have gone on the South Beach Diet, gotten down to their desired weight, and remained there.

Safe Food: Bacteria, Biotechnology, and Bioterrorism Marion Nestle See book keywords and concepts

From a science-based perspective, these problems are of uncertain or low overall risk to human health, but they rank high as causes of dread and outrage. The terrorist attacks of September zooi increased the level of anxiety, particularly about the country's vulnerability to bioterrorism in general, and to food bioterrorism in particular. In concluding this discussion, I offer suggestions for ways in which the government, the food industry, and consumers might engage in political action to deal with this and the other food safety issues raised in this book.

Finally, the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon further heightened such concerns by exposing the vulnerability of food and water supplies to food bioterrorism. Discussions of food safety in the media and elsewhere tend to focus on scientific aspects: the number of illnesses or deaths, the level of risk, or the probability that a food might cause harm. Such discussions overlook a central fact: food safety is a highly political issue. Preventing food-borne illness involves much more than washing hands or cooking foods to higher temperatures.

A New Emphasis for Food Security: Safety from Bioterrorism Prior to the terrorist attacks, food security in the United States had a relatively narrow meaning that derived from the need to establish criteria for deciding whether people were eligible to receive welfare and food assistance. In the 1980s, the U.S. government expanded its definition of "hunger" to include involuntary lack of access to food—the risk of hunger as well as the physical experience. By this definition, food security came to mean reliable access to adequate food.16 The international definition is broader, however.

Pood Security as a Public Health Issue Soon after the September zooi terrorist attacks, commentators identified at least one cause of the nation's inability to respond adequately to such crises: years of neglecting the public health "infrastructure"—the oversight systems and personnel needed to track and prevent disease. The focus on "homeland security," they said, although perhaps politically necessary to allay public anxiety, diverted attention and resources away from basic public health needs.

Reinheriting the Earth: Awakening to Sustainable Solutions and Greater Truths Brian O'Leary See book keywords and concepts

These peak experiences can also be produced during times when over a billion people are focussed on one event such as the Academy Awards, the World Cup, or the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. We can anticipate that a major purpose of future experiments in consciousness is to find ways of increasing the psychokinetic (nonran-dom) portion of the action. An ideal performance would be 100 consciousness units, or 100 percent effectiveness in influencing the results of a random event generator.

Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work Tanya Harter Pierce See book keywords and concepts

Another is that Americans are dying of cancer at a rate approximately equivalent to 10 September 11 terrorist attacks every month! So, in the bigger picture, the first basic truth is "conventional cancer treatments have failed." Second Basic Truth ?Successful Alternative Treatments Abound How many times have we heard television commercials that imply the pharmaceutical companies are working very hard to find a cure for cancer? Yet, you will discover in the following pages that many successful treatments for cancer have already been developed.
