Now the EU wants to regulate our food

Codex Alimentarius has arrived, courtesy of the EUSSR.

Just as the US brings in its "Food Safety" bill, so the EUSSR brings in its herbal supplements directive, which takes effect on 1st May 2011.

Time to grow our own - until that right is denied us by the EU, WHO, UN and Big Pharma.

Please sign the petition and lobby your MPs, before it becomes a criminal offense to heal yourself, without the EU's permission.



What is Codex Alimentarius and why should we be alarmed?

Metanoia: Mind control for profit

From the Greek - to perceive, to think, the result of perceiving or observing - metanoia means "a change of mind".

In Theology, metanoia is used to refer to the change of mind which is brought about in repentance.

The prefix "meta-" carries with it other variants that are consistent with the Eastern Greek philosophical mindset, "Meta-" is additionally used to imply "beyond" and "outside of." E.g., metamorphosis as a beyond-change; and, metaphysics as outside the limits of physics.

The Greek term for repentance, metanoia, denotes a change of mind, a reorientation, a fundamental transformation of outlook, of an individual's vision of the world and of her/himself, and a new way of loving others and the Universe. In the words of a second-century text, The Shepherd of Hermas, it implies "great understanding," discernment.

In Carl Jung's psychology, metanoia indicates a spontaneous attempt of the psyche to heal itself of unbearable conflict by melting down and then being reborn in a more adaptive form.

A very well-produced documentary on the mind control systems that "psycopathic" corporations have put in place, to line their pockets at our expense.

What democracy?

While I respect Janet Daley, I rarely agree with her! She offers some great arguments, but assumes that we have democracy, and seems to believe that government is on our side, somehow.

As such, in my view, she negates many of her own arguments.

We get to vote every 5 years on manifestos that aren't worth the paper they're printed on. None of the parties have any legal obligation to honour manifesto pledges.

We get to vote for candidates selected by the parties. So we either vote for them, or let the evil party back in.

All the parties have 'safe' seats, which means a job for life for the favoured few.

For fear of letting the commies in, we are tempted to vote for the "other" party - such is the great system we have in FPTP.

What point is there in voting for any of the main three parties?

The Swine flu extravaganza that the MSM loves

On several occasions recently, the Mail has whored itself to Big Pharma, propagating fear about swine flu.

On each occasion, I posted a comment which was not published. On the first occasion, NO comments were published. I wonder why! (Not).

The latest Mail article elicited a hardly credible 23 comments. Go figure.

My comment, in each case, was simply this:

Two questions:

1) What percentage of those allegedly killed by swine flu had the vaccine last year?

2) What evidence is there to support the assertion that the deaths *were* caused by swine flu?

It seems to me that the Mail finds these questions a tad uncomfortable. Can they answer them to to satisfaction of the populace? I doubt it.

Not hard to see where their loyalties lie and why we should not trust the MSM.

Update: And here they go again.The Telegraph is at it, too. Do we have the makings of yet another government campaign to finance Big Pharma? Perchance for election contributions?

Quote of the day

The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance.

Oh b*gger Carswell says:

UPDATE:  Another constituent emails to tell me that apparently Cicero said no such thing. 

This is one of those made up quotes that get set round the internet, apparently.  A bit like the speech by the Aussie Prime Minister which folk keep sending me ....

Still, it's a damned fine quote. Does anyone know who, if anyone penned it?

Loan to Ireland - does it help us or hurt us?

If we are providing a loan to Ireland, via money out of thin air, how does that impact on our coffers? We stand to gain interest payments of between 2 and 3%, on top of LIBOR for providing absolutely nothing but digits in an accounting system.

 

Are students being set up for a fall?

Apparently the Swedish bombers are British students. Are  British students being set up for a fall?

Isn't it a coincidence that we've just had student riots? And aren't students the very people who are likely to protest against government?

Aren't we witnessing the setting up of students so that the government can clamp down on them?

What you didn't know about vodka

To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka to dissolve adhesive.

To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, leave for five minutes and wash clean. The alcohol kills mould and mildew.

To clean your spectacles, wipe the lenses with a soft, clean cloth dampened with vodka. The alcohol cleans the glass and kills germs.

Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting your safety razor blade soak in the alcohol after shaving. The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.

Spray vodka on wine stains, scrub with a brush, and then blot dry.     

Using cotton wool, apply vodka to your face after washing, as an astringent, to cleanse the skin and tighten pores.

Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo. The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair, and stimulates the growth of healthy hair.

Fill a sixteen-ounce trigger-spray bottle with vodka and spray bees or wasps to kill them.

Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water into a resealable freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, refreshing ice pack for aches, pain or bruising.

Fill a clean jar with fresh lavender, fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly and set in the sun for three days. Strain liquid through a coffee filter, then apply the tincture to aches and pains.

To relieve a fever, with a flannel,  rub vodka on your chest and back as a liniment.

To cure foot odour, wash your feet with vodka.

Vodka will disinfect and alleviate most stings.     

Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the urushiol oil from your skin.

Swish a shot of vodka over an aching tooth. Allow your gums to absorb some of the alcohol to numb the pain.

And if that isn't enough for you, pour some into a tall glass, add vanilla, grapefruit juice and crushed ice, put your feet up and ... enjoy.

Another sweet deal for the bankers

It's becoming something of a habit; each time politicians promise something that sounds reasonable, alarm bells go off.

In the case of the Tories, they promised a 'free' green upgrade for householders whose homes had energy-inefficient systems (old boilers, etc.). The pre-election speel was that providers would install the new systems, pay for them, and that you and the providers would benefit from the reduction in your energy bills.  I.e., the provider would be paid for its installation by the energy company you use.

Not so, it emerged from the Cancun Climate Change Conference. No.

Now we know that, in order to get your green upgrade:

• you need a smart meter. A smart meter sends information on how much electricity each of your appliances use and at what times to the 'authority'. The authority can, via the smart meter, turn off your electricity, or reduce your consumption. I.e., you don't get to remain captain of your ship.
• the green makeover is not free. It requires the householder to take on more debt. This is evidently another sweet deal for the bankers, as if they weren't stuffed enough with our money, already.

Don't we have enough debt, already?
Don't the bankers have enough of our cash, already?
Aren't we taxed enough already?

I'd be interested in the small print of any contract between the consumer and the supplier of this deal. I predict a certain amount of crookedness, skewed in favour of, first, the bankers, second the energy corporation. You and I would take the fall, should the deal go awry.

Support the campaign against smart meters

The Conservatives have been quite canny in ensuring that the Lib Dems are the fall guys for their green policies. They might even emerge from this unscathed - while Clegg careers downwards ...



But what does it matter, what happens to Clegg, Cameron or any of the other political spivs? We are not represented by our self-serving MPs in this post-democratic age, so they are as useful to us as as umbrellas in a blizzard.

Swine flu resurfaces, allegedly

Allegedly, swine flu is back.

Two questions:

1. What percentage of those allegedly killed by swine flu had the vaccine last year?
2. What evidence is there to support the assertion that the deaths were caused by swine flu?

Mired to undemocratic, unaccountable body of bureaucrats

Charles Moore doesn't think much of the EU and thinks less so of the bailouts, which will ultimately achieve nothing but delay the inevitable - failure of the EU. But even though he admits that it is undemocratic and unaccountable to the people of Europe, he doesn't advocate being rid of it entirely.

Rubberchicken, on the other hand, speaks for me: his response to Charles

No.

I want my country back. I want our fishing waters back. I want laws in this country to come from people subject to my vote. I don't want to give the EU my taxes. I don't want their regulations. I don't want their courts to control ours, I don't want EU arrest warrents lifting UK citizens from their homes, I want my borders controlled, I want an end to human rights laws that help no one but criminals, I want regional assemblies to close down as they are a sink hole for taxes just to keep pygmy politicians in a job, I want Ireland set free from unpayable debts, I want an end to referenda from which only one answer is accepted, I want to stop paying £1 billion just to keep 700 MEPs in clover, I want an end to people like Neil Kinnock being retired to the EU as a reward for failure in domestic politics. In short, I want out.

Are we ready? We never wanted it in the first place.

Am I ready for an implosion of UK banks in return for the death of the EU? You bet. Bring it on.

I would rather be poor and free, than shackled.

Nigel Farage on Fox!
