Last but certainly not least in this series is the long list of questionable practices undertaken by our pharmaceutical industry, and supported by our government. Now don’t get me wrong – certainly many medicines have been proven to be life-saving, and invaluable for people with serious conditions that become treatable with these medical innovations. I’m not here to argue that modern medicine is a complete flop by any means.

However many argue that doctors are often too quick to prescribe a drug before investigating other safer, alternative therapies such as nutrition and natural supplements. For example, behavioral problems and grades improved in schools that changed their menus to healthy foods. But these days, so many people, including children, are being prescribed drugs which later have been proven harmful to many people. Particularly of note here is the increasing rate at which doctors recommend pharmaceuticals for such symptoms as obesity, ADHD, ED, depression and fatigue. More studies certainly need to be done on the multitude of interactions between all the various toxins we face in our environment (see Part II of this series). Likely as not, they, as well as the quality of the foods we eat, could be affecting these types of conditions in the first place. In many cases, a pill is given to treat a symptom instead of truly rooting out the cause of the dis-ease. However, as also indicated by the previous article in this series, big pharma seems to be winning out over natural solutions.

When sanity and reason seem to have vanished, it begins to smell like…money. A friend told me recently about someone who was prescribed an antidepressant by a doctor and ended up sicker than before – and addicted. Later it became evident that the doctor had received compensation from the drug manufacturer to do so. After some investigation my friend learned that pharmaceutical companies regularly bribe doctors to prescribe their drugs. The more often doctors tout these often still-experimental wares to their unwitting patients, the more they get paid in kickbacks and what are called “spiffs”. The entire scenario is outrageous and criminal. The New York Times published an editorial about it in 2007 entitled, “Is Your Doctor Tied to Drug Makers?” And there is plenty more where that came from. Natural News has a page of articles on such bribery. It’s quite a rabbit hole.

Another subject to mention here is the entire vaccination controversy, which has reached a furor the past few years due to claims that vaccines which contain thimerosol, a mercury-based preservative, are causing autism and even death in a percentage of children. The war is still raging, and official studies so far claim there is no link, even though thousands of parents disagree.

I am aware that many people with autism, while perhaps different in various ways, carry their own brand of wisdom, ability, and genius, often with the capacity to contribute a lot to the world. I must also admit that the basic science behind vaccines changed the face of modern medicine and has saved untold millions of lives. However if a drug that is supposed to prevent future damage to an individual could be changing the personalities they were born with and causing an increase in medical costs and challenges for the families at home, then I begin to wonder. With all the knowledge and technology available today, I might imagine that someone could find a preservative that didn’t raise so many concerns. It arouses suspicion.

The vaccine controversy gets darker when one begins hearing of mandatory requirements, and no way to really know of any added “preservative”. In New Jersey, new laws requiring flu shots for children in day care have been met with protests from parents. Is this just the beginning? On that note, I found a startling article, Drugging America to death, about the true dark side of the pharmaceutical industry, including controls mandated during GW’s time which has made forced vaccinations and drugs a matter of national security,

“In combination with state laws titled Model Emergency Health Powers Act (MEHPA), the government is authorized to quarantine, isolate, imprison or fine anyone who refuses to take these untested drugs and vaccines.⁶ Detailed plans have already been drawn up by the Pentagon and Department of Defense to use the military to enforce these compulsory injections and medical treatments,⁷ and state public health departments have used portions of their bioterrorism budget to identity large sites such as stadiums, malls and cinemas to hold mass vaccinations.”^{8 [see article for references]}

Eli Lilly, one of the oldest and largest of the big pharma, is the company that developed thimerosol as well as Prozac and other powerful and controversial drugs. Its prominent board members have included George H.W. Bush, and one can find quite of bit of information online claiming links between Eli Lilly, eugenics, the Bush family and even the Nazis. Eli Lilly is known to have participated in MKULTRA, the CIA’s mind control and chemical interrogation research program, conducted in the 1950s and 1960s, for which Clinton publicly apologized while President.

Wrapped up in this is the subject of the military’s mandatory bioterrorism vaccines, testing drugs on our veterans and other groups of citizens over the years, often circumventing safety measures in the name of fighting bioterrorism. It’s a very deep and dark rabbit hole of unauthorized manipulation, experimentation and mind control. Enter at your own risk.

One area where most of us have no choice is our water supply, which in many, many communities is now known to contain antibiotics and traces of various pharmaceuticals. Bottled water is not necessarily any better, believe it or not. Those are all mainstream news links. Fluoridated water remains more of a controversial issue. FluorideAlert.org reports studies that claim it’s linked to lower IQs. Fluoride.info claims it’s beneficial. The typical dividing line here, as in many of these issues, is that big pharma and government claim it is safe, while smaller independent, natural and homeopathic sources claim it is not. Just as I was finalizing this article, it was announced that communities in the UK were going to begin fluoridating their water, even though many people objected. It’s possible that it might help strengthen teeth, but have a series of negative long-term side effects as well.

The air around us, while perhaps still free, is also not free from harm. Along with pollution from various chemicals and particulates, electromagnetic radiation from power lines, appliances, cell phones – and potentially HAARP – is also on the increase. People in communities with wi-fi are beginning to complain of symptoms. And there’s always the issues of chemtrails – the famously controversial topic relegated to the land of the conspiranoids, regardless of the evidence. See The Chemtrail Smoking Gun: Proof of global atmospheric geoengineering.

After taking a hard look at this various evidence, it becomes clear that the agenda of the powers-that-be may be considered to be motivated by greed rather than pure humanitarian concern. It has been acknowledged that many medical innovations were important milestones in our growth as a society. However one must regard with suspicion the mega-corporations which are consolidating their power with the support of the government, causing sickness and death in millions, while independent alternatives are routinely squelched. I recommend the reader do their own research, as there is much more to be uncovered and made aware of.

These topics, from GMOs, to illegal vitamins and natural cures, to drugs in our children and drinking water, are simply food for thought. They are not meant to create fear, but awareness. To take the next step in our walk on this planet, and beyond, we must not allow a corrupt system to contaminate our minds, or bodies or our spirits. Take the knowledge and find ways to grow beyond it. Be aware of the injustices; fight against them with small steps, each person finding their own Way.

Ultimately it is the revelation of the true nature of our spiritual selves which so many people struggle with. These various contaminants are blocking this work. While I was writing this, a new study revealed that Antidepressants may also suppress love and romance. This article shook me to my shoes, for its synchronistic timing and relevance to this series. Love is the key to survival on a level many people cannot yet begin to fathom. Without the capacity to love, many people may be left behind. If this is indeed the case, it is tragic beyond measure.

While many use globalism as a means to “protect” or even geoengineer the environment and take our world past the current crisis, Aristotle continues to remind us, absolute power corrupts absolutely. The irony is that the work of saving our planet, and thus ourselves, begins in our own back yards. I am not one to advocate violent rebellion. The revolution is one of free will, and it takes place within us. With information as ammunition, we can change how we think, act and react. We can, and will, change the world for the better.

In harmony with the Tao,

the sky is clear and spacious,

the earth is solid and full,

all creatures flourish together,

content with the way they are,

endlessly repeating themselves,

endlessly renewed.

When man interferes with the Tao,

the sky becomes filthy,

the earth becomes depleted,

the equilibrium crumbles,

creatures become extinct.

The Master views the parts with compassion,

because he understands the whole.

His constant practice is humility.

He doesn’t glitter like a jewel

but lets himself he shaped by the Tao,

as rugged and common as a stone.

-Tao Te Ching, #39

Due to the current economic crisis, people are going back to gardening in droves these days. Elizabeth Hart at Reality Sandwich recently posted Grow Your Own, quoting Thomas Jefferson as saying, “Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens…They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands.” She brings to our attention The Greenhorns, a new documentary about our next generation of young people who are returning to the land and a simpler life.

Our recent financial collapse has often been compared to the Great Depression, with one very important difference: many of our grandparents survived because they knew how to grow food; in today’s world, not only are there many more millions of people, but most wouldn’t know the first thing about farming. Here is a link to a list of some non-GMO seed stores. You don’t need much to get started – a few pots or a rooftop can create a viable garden even for urban dwellers.

Ironically, it’s becoming more and more difficult for smaller, local and organic farmers to survive, even as demand has skyrocketed. Originally published as an editorial in the New York Times last year, My Forbidden Fruits (and Vegetables) by local farmer Jack Hedin tells quite a story. Here’s another article recently from OpEd News: Organic farming booby trapped. The author encapsulates the issue and provides several links below, which lead to various articles on the dismantling of sustainable farming and USDA attacks on non-corporate farmers. In a nutshell, many claim that the government has been working to get rid of organic farming altogether by various means, including forcing farmers to use Monsanto seeds and even raiding small farms and co-ops.

Another similar issue is the increasing vigilance of the USDA, the FDA and other organizations around the world to legislate away our access to natural remedies. I wrote a long while back about Laetrile and the controversy surrounding “Vitamin B17” and its anti-cancerous properties. Some theorize that cancer is a actually a deficiency disease much like scurvy or pellagra, which could be easily cured with “B17”. The substance is found occurring naturally in various foods, including apple seeds and the kernels found inside apricot pits. According to some doctors, it’s of beneficial use, but it’s not legal to prescribe Laetrile for cancer treatment in the U.S. You have to go to Mexico or some other country to find a doctor who will prescribe it.

Also at Reality Sandwich, Laura Jane posted Endocrine Disruptors, Big Pharma, and BHRT, which explains that bioidentical hormones, naturally occurring substances that can make all the difference in the world for some people with deficiencies, could soon be banned. You can’t patent a naturally occurring substance, don’t you know.

It seems as if the FDA is working hard to protect the pharmaceutical companies, rather than ensuring that the populace as access to healthy options. It is currently illegal in the U.S. to claim that any natural substance can cure cancer. Cancer is big business these days for drug manufacturers. Many herbal remedies and even vitamins may soon be more difficult to access, and even become illegal, as may happen also in Canada. Just recently, Natural News reported on the news that the FDA Declares Form of Vitamin B6 a Drug, Effectively Banning Pyridoxamine from Dietary Supplements, and explained, “Now, any nutritional supplements containing pyridoxamine will be considered adulterated and illegal by the FDA, which may raid vitamin companies and seize such products. See the history of FDA raids on vitamin companies here.” This is regardless of the fact that pyridoxamine occurs naturally in various foods.

This will all likely soon become a matter of international law, along with our financial structures and trade agreements. From the Atlantic Free Press: “The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), based in Rome, Italy, is an international organization jointly created in 1962 by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) of the United Nations “allegedly” to protect the health of consumers with guidelines for food standards…Codex treats food as toxins.” They are controversially involved in the re-categorizing of herbs and dietary supplements as drugs, making them controlled substances.

Interesting that is so, when man-made chemicals with many known dangerous health effects are allowed to remain in our foods, including aspartame, high fructose corn syrup, MSG/autolyzed yeast, and other food additives and preservatives. I found an abstract for an intriguing scientific paper published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health entitled Persistent toxic chemicals in the US Food Supply. Toxic chemicals can be found in your laundry detergent, skin care products, and meat. The list is long, and it’s becoming difficult to afford organic/non-GMO food for many people. Tricky. How to Afford Eating Organic suggests it could be done, if we cut corners elsewhere and make it a priority.

It’s almost too much to comprehend. Before you know it, you’ll have to buy a license to grow that basil out on your porch. It is such a vital step for our civilization to return to local sustainability in terms of food and energy production. I am not suggesting to give up our global communications or other technologies. Personally I think if we did it right, we could have both. But so far, the government is still protecting large corporate interests over the common man. The revolution should come in the form of local sustainability, not rioting in the streets, which is already in the news around the world, along with a growing number of tent cities in the U.S.

Working together as neighbors, we might be able to avoid a total system collapse and the inevitable martial law that would follow, though some believe this is what They’re aiming for anyway. I’ll believe in the “change” if I see the new administration do something about this travesty. During these times in particular, sustainability, community-based, non-corporate farming, and healthy alternatives should be supported.  

Part III: Our Contaminated World: The Pharmaceutical Darkside coming soon

Originated by William Forster Lloyd in his 1833 book about population, the term “tragedy of the commons” was popularized by Garret Hardin’s essay in a 1968 issue of Science. However the concept is likely as old as the advent of the “ruling elite” itself.

Political Ponerology: A science on the nature of evil adjusted for political purposes, a book written by Andrew M. Lobaczewski in communist Poland and suppressed by the likes of Zbigniew Brzezinski and the Vatican, discusses the origin and actions of a ‘pathocracy‘, or rule by a pathological elite. Why is this material important? Lobaczewski explains that the general population, naively believing that their leaders are basically working for the good of all, tends to avoid knowledge of the horrific, cruel and bloody legacy of the elite, and are therefore in danger of being misled on a grand scale. He suggests, “Understanding the nature of macro-social pathology helps us to find a healthy attitude and thus protects our minds from being controlled or poisoned by the diseased contents and influence of their propaganda.” Know thine enemy, so to speak. Laura Knight-Jadczyk has written extensively on the subject and continues her research on her blogs.

Lobaczewski’s work is directly applicable to the mountain of material available to the public on the subject of intentional depopulation, which was the impetus of my research. As disturbing and disheartening as the idea may be, ignorance of the various methods currently employed leaves the masses at risk of falling prey to their machinations. Therefore in true Surfing the Tao fashion, I recommend independent research and then plenty of positive reinforcement in its aftermath, such as my simple mantra. Wisdom, not worry; preparation, not panic.

The powers-that-be would have us believe we are facing a Malthusian catastophe with regards to population versus resources. Whether that is really true is beside the point; killing us softly is not the appropriate response, although it fits in nicely with the concept of pathocracy. Regardless of the extent of our ‘dumbing-down‘, most people can still comprehend an issue of that magnitude and come together for a compassionate solution. However the ruling elite are too wrapped up in their madness and quest for wealth and ultimate power to change their ways. Zbigniew Brzezinski is infamous for his outspoken opinions on the subject; Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Brent Scowcroft, Edmund de Rothschild and others are also powerful culprits. Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara (whose middle name incidentally is “Strange”), is reported to have said that the “population crisis” is a greater threat to U.S. national security interests than “nuclear annihilation.” Ironic considering nuclear holocaust is likely one of their most powerful weapons in the depopulation arsenal.

Population control is favored at the U.N. and among “humanists” as wisdom for our future. Even if you don’t go the “conspiracy” route, one can be sure they are likely working on alternative and less public methods to achieve it. The fact that our government has performed extensive human biological experimentation is no longer a secret, and should open some eyes and ears to other similar possibilities. The recent disclosure of the “CIA’s Family Jewels” is likely just the tip of the iceberg in terms of illegal activities. From the terrifying reality of eugenics to fluoride in our toothpaste, chemicals in our food, water, and skies, vaccines, corrupt research into cancer and other diseases, not to mention war, poverty, hunger and natural disasters (weather modification being an interesting offshoot of this), it’s easy to understand why some loudly declare that, “Yes, they do wish to kill us!”

If the depopulation agenda continues, the powers-that-be may find themselves having to answer to China and the Vatican; however, this is probably a ruse, these other parties simply playing the roles of naysayers in their little game of Hegelian dialectic. Pay attention to organizations like the Club of Rome, whose bizarre politics underly the global elitist agenda, and PopulationConnection.org (formerly known as Zero Population Growth), which some accuse of being part of the propaganda machine.

The real tragedy of the commons is the continued naivete and ignorance of the masses in terms of what their governments are really up to. By continuing to wallow in the Hardinian taboo, we are allowing our pathocratical leaders to decide these issues for us. I encourage all readers to do a little research of their own. I believe the Earth, if used correctly and in harmony with its natural resources, could sustain our present population and more; perhaps if we lived in tune with it, our population numbers would harmonize naturally. We have the technology, if not the compassion and generosity of spirit. However there is no doubt that the emerging order will have a much more difficult time completely controlling multiple billions of souls, especially those “useless eaters” not part of their Monkeysphere; their ideal is more like 500 million, and we can be sure that this goal is at the forefront of their agendas, one way or another.
