Television Is Trying Hard To Drive People Insane

"
Elaine Meinel Supkis

I studiously avoid TV. I consider it a poison like that pesticide factory in Georgia that is killing everything nearby. But I watched it last night. ABC had this 'Last Days' show which I mistakenly thought, when I looked at the story online, was about the caldera in Yellowstone. It really wasn't.

Last Days is about all the ways the Earth could be destroyed.

Aug. 29, 2006— What could cover the globe in ash, plunge Earth into an ice age and end life as we know it?

The answer is found in what lies beneath: supervolcanoes. Supervolcanoes are very rare. There is no need to run out and buy duct tape and plastic sheeting for this one. The last known supervolcano was about 74,000 years ago. But they are real, and one potential supervolcano lies right here in the United States, in one of America's most profound areas of natural beauty.

After suffering through five minutes of commercials, I discovered ABC was running a show that was pure clap-trap designed to scare everyone. Throughout the show, they advertised new TV shows coming this season, all about torture, rape, being abandoned on an isolated island with criminals (hahaha, sounds like America!), CSI stuff, all angry, dark, unfunny and the funny stuff was pure evil. Is this our entertainment today? It really puzzles me...not.

For we are going mad, quite rapidly, in fact.

The commercials gripped my attention as they are designed to do. Fast foods being eaten by anorexia victims who professed they dined this way daily despite the obvious fact they could all be put in a telephone booth and dropped to the bottom of the sea and the fish would starve to death, eating them.

Then there were the uniformly happy people peddling drugs while a voice-over would sternly say, 'This medicine will destroy your liver, eat out your lungs, suck your brains down a drain and empty your wallet.' At least that pesky hangnail won't embarrass you!

There were ads to shoot poison into the face so the frown lines disappear. This is because the injections kills the skin cells. We have no idea how this method which has to be done repeatedly as the years pass, will do in the end. It has only been around less than fifteen years. I predict many faces peeling off in ten more years. Narcosis is a very nasty looking condition. I don't recommend it if one wishes to look beautiful.

On to the show, a feeble concoction. They excitedly talked about being sucked down black holes. Our galaxy is a collection of black holes and everything swirling around these monsters is being slowly reeled in. Ahem. Including our dear planet.

But they didn't talk about this! They talked about stray black holes that might pass by! They didn't mention the Great Attractor which is, contrary to present astronomical dogma, is not moving away but is reeling in our galaxy which it, too, will eat. Ahem. Be afraid. Be very afraid! In 10 billion years, blam!

Not utilizing this really important news, they advertised 9/11. Scary times! Then they talked about all sorts of grim things like asteroid attacks and then they got to nuclear war which concentrated on the possiblity of tiny oil nations having nukes. Ahem.

Then came the final part: a flurry of big, fat SUV ads and people begging us to go in hock for various energy intensive stuff, buy it now! Then they talked about global warming and didn't mention SUVs. Or much of anything. Oh, China is polluting the planet! There was zero mention of the Kyoto Accords. They did show Gore briefly and mentioned his work. They did show maps of Florida being flooded. This was good but it was all buried within the matrix of scaring people about things we don't control. I knew they would do this. Infantilize people before talking about the two things we totally, completely and absolutely control: nuclear war and global warming.

And both were China's problem, no ours! And this is how we are dealing with currency problems, trade balances, diplomacy, everything! It is all for China to straighten out!

So I went to my favorite ruling elite news, dear Xinhua news.

BEIJING, Aug. 31(Xinhuanet) -- Lung power normally declines as a person ages, but being angry and hostile can speed up the process, researchers said Thursday online in the journal Thorax.

In a study of 670 men ranging in age from 45 to 86, they found that males who had higher levels of long-standing anger at the start of the eight-year project had significantly poorer lung function at the end of it.

"This study is one of the first to show prospectively that hostility is associated with poorer pulmonary function and more rapid rates of decline among older men," said Dr. Rosalind Wright, of Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.

Um, America is super-hostile. And super-scared. And we are going around, picking fights with everyone. And we are more and more frightened and pissed off. We hate each other and hate the world and are whinny, to boot.

This is all bad for the face. It makes for wrinkles. And boxtox shots won't fix it.

I notice all the pictures of Hu and Wen doing diplomacy, except when they are with Bush, they are always smiling. They seem pretty jolly. Laughing, even. The Cheshire cat of politics, the President of Iran, is always smiling, too. Seriously, even most pictures of bin Laden show him smiling. Laughing, even.

And so it goes. Our fear and loathing is causing tremendous merriment in the wrong circles. Well, the press laughs with Bush all the time. They love him. This is why we are all frowning and shortening our lives, filled with hate and fear.

Well, I will laugh at them. Hahaha. Fools.

Pesticide Plant in Georgia Killing Animals Nearby

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Pesticide plant in Georgia is leaking poisons into the air, killing the birds, insects and small pets in the near vicinity. Of course, this state voted heavily for tax cuts and Bushism. So now they get to chock to death on poisons! It also turns out the air traffic controller that sent the jet onto the wrong runway worked hideous hours. And scientists wonder what lets some people live really long lives (hint: they avoid anything the GOP controls).

Georgia ain't that peachy.

By: Ben Nelms
Though company officials and Georgia Environmental Protection Division say different, anyone living or traveling through north Fayette and south Fulton last weekend and earlier this week know the smell is still present. Whether the chemical odorant and pesticide MOCAP are to blame, the smell is the same that has persisted since Memorial Day.

Much information has been presented since the onion odor entered the communities nearly three months ago. But suffering on the front lines of their homes are the animals that also call the area home and those that constitute the wildlife that populate the 40-square-mile hot zone.

And like their human counterparts, many dogs and cats are experiencing vomiting, diarrhea, skin irritation and problems breathing.

Isn't it nice that we all get to live like the people of India, with Bhopal-type incidents? This is the GOP America. They love pollution, hate the EPA, don't want any controls for anything, spit at environmentalists and so on and so forth. As the proles there get hammered by reality and as they discover they are cattle or excess biomass, they actually might wake up and smell the thick odor of poison and change direction. Perhaps even vote semi-sanely.

The reason these good folks support, enable and strengthen fascists is due mostly to the thick smog of propaganda that surrounds them. These cynical people manipulating them love to praise them as 'true patriots' and 'hard-headed' and 'brave' and so on. But what many of them are is 'chumps'. Slowly but surely, the idea that perhaps the present system is not only not working but is terribly dangerous is just beginning to dawn, I hope.

We don't have much time left. If people don't activate their brain cells and begin to think clearly, they just might end up joining the dinosaurs in la-la-land.

Ronnie Reagan's first act was to kill the air traffic controller's union.

By JEFFREY McMURRAY, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 31 minutes ago
LEXINGTON, Ky. - In the day leading up to the crash of Comair Flight 5191, a federal investigator says the air traffic controller on duty had worked for almost 15 hours and slept for two.

National Transportation Safety Board member Debbie Hersman, the lead investigator in the crash that killed 49 people, said in her final briefing before leaving Lexington Thursday that the controller had only nine hours off between work shifts Saturday.

*snip*

The controller, a 17-year veteran whose name has not been released publicly, worked from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. He came back to work at 11:30 p.m. on the same day to begin an eight-hour overnight shift.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown said the air traffic controller union approved the work schedule rules, and the FAA provides information about how to avoid fatigue.

These working hours are totally insane. Truckers and bus drivers and nearly everyone is now running 24/7, the ruling class makes much more money if they don't hire staff and if it can't be outsourced then let the little buggers work until they die. And if a lot of other people die, so what?

Well, the unions are dead, rules are dead, the 40 hr work week is now a lost dream. Our future is like Bhopal, India. On every level.

Scientists discover there is no clear genetic basis for longevity.

he scientific view of what determines a life span or how a person ages has swung back and forth. First, a couple of decades ago, the emphasis was on environment, eating right, exercising, getting good medical care. Then the view switched to genes, the idea that you either inherit the right combination of genes that will let you eat fatty steaks and smoke cigars and live to be 100 or you do not. And the notion has stuck, so that these days, many people point to an ancestor or two who lived a long life and assume they have a genetic gift for longevity.

But recent studies find that genes may not be so important in determining how long someone will live and whether a person will get some diseases — except, perhaps, in some exceptionally long-lived families. That means it is generally impossible to predict how long a person will live based on how long the person’s relatives lived.

What matters is how you live, where you live and if you avoid places like Georgia where they let poison pour into the air. Despite being shot, Reagan lived until he was over 90. Gerald Ford is still alive and he was a drunk and is over 90. So I suppose, being President and then living inside a bubble, but only if one is mindless about being President, namely, be brain dead while in office means nothing will interfer with keeping the corpus alive, must be one method that works. Being filthy rich helps.

There are poor people who live long. Quite a few came from hard scrabble backgrounds. Namely, if they couldn't kill ya early on, one could live a long, long time, so long as one doesn't live next to an American pesticide factory or some such.

As I used to say over and over in the sixties, 'Stuff that kills birds and bugs kills humans too.'

Bad Eggs Vs Healthy Eggs And A Cure For Alzheimers Is Now Possible

Elaine Meinel Supkis

The war news has dominated this blog, unfortunately. Good news! There may be a cure for Alzheimer's disease! I truly hope this is possible, obviously, as I age, I become much more concerned about this terrible wasting disease. Also, farmers are making fake golden eggs using the same dyes. This is a swindle, tricking customers into thinking bad eggs are good eggs.

Now that we know it is caused by amyloid buildup in the nerve centers of the brain, finding a way of preventing this is possible.

By LAURAN NEERGAARD, AP Medical Writer 41 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Scientists have discovered molecular janitors that clear away a sticky gunk blamed for Alzheimer's disease — until they get old and quit sweeping up.

*snip*

Thursday's study reveals one way that cells fend off amyloid buildup, and that natural aging gradually erodes that detoxification process.

"Every pathway we can discover that modifies amyloid provides us with new drug targets," said Dr. Sam Gandy, a neuroscientist at Philadelphia's Thomas Jefferson University and an Alzheimer's Association spokesman. "This now opens up a new pathway" for developing anti-Alzheimer's drugs.

Worms can't get Alzheimer's. So Dillin's team used roundworms that produce human beta-amyloid in the muscles of the body wall. As the worms age, amyloid builds up until it eventually paralyzes them; they can wiggle only their heads.

As the babyboomers age, we better be really concerned about this particular disease. Bush is already well along the path of mental destruction, his inappropriate gestures and behaviors, his increasingly clueless looking face that goes all flaccid much of the time, the glazed-eyed stares, his frequent 'falls' and 'stumbles' as he has increasing trouble moving about. And the noticable deterioration of his speech, his inability to focus on new information, his sparse language getting increasingly childish as he goes along. Speaking in three word bursts as his brain frantically tries to fire off those electrical impulses. I do wish we could demand he be brain scanned so we can see if there is anything in there except for a dazed squirrel.

Indeed, I would suggest we have mandatory brain scans for all officials and elected people. My state of Arizona was 'represented' by Karl Hayden who was in his nineties when he finally died. He was a mental midget when this finally happened. Nearly braindead. Ditto Thurmond. Having senile, brainless people in positions of power is very dangerous. Few of them leave their positions of power and this includes the Supreme Court. We cannot allow senility be the common condition of our leadership.

Castro is going senile, too. It shows in his glazed eyes. Many a country has gone down the tubes when their rulers grew senile. In China, when Mao went senile, he launched the disasterous 'Cultural Revolution.' I know from watching close up, senility doesn't stop anyone from doing foolish things, quite the contrary. Rumsfeld is probably suffering from Alzheimer's, too. His increasingly bizarre talk is laced with odd mannerisms that make no sense when one writes it all down.

And here is a little warning about food coloring which will make millions throw up!

When you dig into a strawberry Yoplait yogurt, take a moment to contemplate where the beautiful pink color comes from. Strawberries? Think again. It comes from crushed bugs. Specifically, from the female cochineal beetles and their eggs. And it's not just yogurt. The bugs are also used to give red coloring to Hershey Good & Plenty candies, Tropicana grapefruit juice, and other common foods.

Indeed, who would think that chicken, eggs, and salmon are often artificially enhanced to look more appetizing to consumers? The plump, juicy chicken sitting on the supermarket shelf is likely to have been fed canthaxanthin, a pigment added to chicken feed to enhance poultry's yellow color and make it look palatable. And egg-laying hens are also given a dye along with their feed, making egg yolks vary in color from light yellow all the way to bright orange.

Hehehe. Have some fun and tell someone they are eating bug juice! I used to love doing this as a smart aleck kid. Personally, I don't mind eating bugs. Never did mind it. Maybe this came from an older brother daring me to eat pill bugs. As I love to point out, we all descended from bug eaters. Even the higher apes love to eat bugs. Eating bugs is like candy to them. My chickens agree. We let them out every day to forage for bugs and weeds. They eat small mice and worms and even snakes, too. Turkeys love frogs, for example. There aren't too many evolutionary steps between them and Tyrannosaurus Rex.

As for coloring eggs: there should be laws outlawing this. I go to great lengths to keep my chickens organic and healthy! This is why my eggs sell for more than the cheap, pale yoked ones in the stores! Some farmers are trying to cheat, to SCAM people into thinking their eggs are healthy by artificially coloring the food the chickens eat! This means the eggs are even less 'organic' than the factory eggs that are very pale! My chickens are happy and have happy, golden eggs. They are superior when it comes to the whites, too, note how the whites in the above photo aren't all over the pan! They aren't watery!

A healthy chicken also lays smooth eggs. Go feel the eggs in the stores! Rough surfaces. Not a smooth, glowing sheen. Gah. Even thinking about touching them, much less, eating them, is making me ill.

The USA Is Building Massive Biowarfare Labs Where Anthrax Killer Worked

Elaine Meinel Supkis

Not content with merely dropping WMD upon the heads of barely armed peasants, the USA Evil Empire plans to build a giant biowarfare lab....right where the original anthrax killer, attacking only people the Bushes wanted to intimidate or kill, got his materials. Obviously, the Skull and Bones people who pray to the Devil that is Death are flailing away, literally.

Just what we need: a super huge, super secret germ factory.

Common Dreams: by Julian Borger

Construction work has begun near Washington on a vast germ warfare laboratory intended to help protect the US against an attack with biological weapon, but critics say the laboratory's work will violate international law and its extreme secrecy will exacerbate a biological arms race.
The National Biodefence Analysis and Countermeasures Centre (NBACC), due to be completed in 2008, will house heavily guarded and hermetically sealed chambers in which scientists simulate potential terrorist attacks.

To do so, the centre will have to produce and stockpile the world's most lethal bacteria and viruses, which is forbidden by the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention. Three years before that treaty was agreed, President Richard Nixon halted the production of US biological weapons at Fort Detrick in Maryland. The same military base is the site for the new $128m (£70m), 160,000 sq ft laboratory.

Mother Nature's lab is cranking away like crazy, She views us as excess biomatter that must be reduced. Doctors in the 'civilized' world work like crazy to outwit Her. The knowledge of germs gives us Her powers of annihilation as well as life. The real rulers want to live as long as possible, thus their many bubbles they are madly building, and they also want the power to eliminate rival humans without the messy business of using WMD that show up on TV in the form of the pitiful bodies of small children, hopelessly mangled.

The lessons of history are remembered by the ruling class, at least, the lessons that give them the lust to rule. Not the 'falling empires' lessons. Namely, for thousands of years, diseases always marched with armies and they slew more, until the 20th century, than any death dealing army no matter how hard working or vast. When Europeans set a fatal foot upon the various isolated continents during the great conquest of the earth, 90% of the hard work subduing and eliminating the natives was done via germs.

Armies also spread the Black Plague. And various nasty sexual diseases such as syphillis. Conquering armies knew they were rendering women unable to have children that would be healthy forever and ever if they raped them and got them infected with a sexual disease. This was considered a good way to subdue populations after conquest.

Many people believe AIDS was concocted in a lab. I am sorry to say, Mother Nature probably is guilty of making this one happen for She knows that diseases connected with sex are hard to stamp out since it is connected directly to the desire to reproduce which is overwhelming in all animals and plants. The ruling elite don't like sex diseases. They like to have sex, even rapine. The thought of this stuff sneaking into their bedchambers gives them the willies.

Isn't it interesting this secret lab is exactly the same place our dear anthrax killer operated out of?

3/27.2 From Susan Candiotti
CNN
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Almost six months after anthrax letters began turning up in the mail, the mystery of who sent those deadly missives and why persists.

There has been some progress. Authorities have narrowed to about two dozen the number of labs believed capable of making the deadly spores.

Scientists also have learned the anthrax spores that filled letters to Sens. Tom Daschle, D-South Dakota, and Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, were even purer than investigators thought.

The anthrax's purity and potency makes it highly unlikely the killer could have made and treated the spores in a makeshift setting, according to officials involved in the massive investigation.

HAHAHA. Massive, huge, eh? What? Investigation? Wasn't that funny. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Since the first victim was the man in Sarasota, Florida, home of Atta and the gang who toiled so openly to create 9/11, also home of Jupiter Island, the Bush/CIA hangout...well, he published the pictures of Jenna drunk, the one we laughed at so hard for Bush was talking about what a great father he was---this man was murdered and no one, no one wanted him dead but the Bushes who warned everyone a week before 9/11 to 'watch out what you say,' when asked about the pictures, they were obviously very peeved. This is right after they got the FBI to corner the author of 'Fortunate Son' and egged him into committing suicide because he revealed Bush's coke addiction and arrest.

I contacted Amerithrax, the FBI agents, telling them who to investigate. I wrote them a long letter, too, explaining how Sherlock Holmes worked and the question, 'Who wanted these people dead' all pointed to the White House. Whether the Bushes said, 'Will someone rid us of this photoeditor,' and a flunky said, 'Hey, I can get the Republicans back into power in the Senate,' he being a CIA agent, and the others in on the plot could have said, 'Hey, we can send an anthrax letter to the Senate, NOT the House of Representatives, and then clear everyone out and send in CIA/NSA agents to plant bugs and rifle through the Democrats' files, this is better than Watergate!'

And so they did! And so it went. The rest is history. The flaccid investigation of the anthrax killer collapsed the minute the white trail of powder went to the secret labs that are actually rather illegal.

So here we are, the anthrax killer still killing, in other ways, of course. Who is going to run this nifty lab that is against all the rules of warfare, our defensive lab which is used only when our President needs to assassinate people he hates? While blaming Muslims with silly death letters?

Ahem. War crimes are fun, especially when practiced on one's own people!

The anthrax killer, an expert, will probably run this lab. As all detective novelists know, killers don't hide far away, they prefer to be in plain sight. This means going on TV with a pious face and talking ernestly about firing anyone who outed Mrs. Plame or how they want peace in the Middle East or they are bringing democracy to Iraq. Yup. Aside from the Big Boss, the lower ranks have plenty of Mengeles to call upon. The utter lack of interest in discovering who the anthrax killer is doesn't puzzle me at all. This is why I am convinced Bush knows perfectly well, who it is.

The media nearly never mentions the anthrax killer who aimed some letters at them. Obviously, they got the message, loud and clear. There are no anniversary stories where pesky reporters bother the rulers with questions about this very important matter.

The opening a yet a worse, nastier, lab when we know for a fact that these germs will, WILL be unleashed upon us, is not merely news, it is another shot across our prows. Namely, the rulers, once they concoct a germ they can be protected from while it ravages the rest of humanity, eliminating the Muslims, for example, they will use it. For this preserves the infrastructure, unlike messy nuclear bombs, clears the decks. Like 'opening the West' during the rape of the Americas.
