The NDM-1 Super Bug: Is It a Real Threat?

Posted in 10 : Culling the Herd with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on 08/15/2010 by timenolonger

Last year the so-called novel H1N1 virus, an obviously lab created pathogen, was used to panic the public and push a dangerous vaccine.

The response from the public was an encouraging one. They refused to be bullied into vaccination and, as a result, the great quantities of vaccine bought to administer to the public went unused.

Now a warning of what is being called a super ‘bug’ comes from the UK. What will be the result of this situation? The reports so far describe it in such language as to immediately cause concern.

The threat by name is called the “New Delhi-Metallo-1” enzyme, and sources are stressing the fact that it is a condition by which bacteria are becoming resistant to the most powerful antibiotics.

It is described as a potential “nightmare” scenario in which all known drugs could be useless in the near future to combat infectious bacterial disease.

What are the real risks of this new health threat? Does the world face yet another vaccination scam such as the one attempted with H1N1? Will there be epidemics of incurable diseases spreading around the world soon?

These are the worries which might plague people should this situation continue to develop, and become a major subject of mainstream news.

Before any speculation takes place and any conclusions are rushed in to, we should first rationally answer these questions.

What the New Delhi-Metallo-1 or ND Metallo-beta-lactamase is exactly, is a gene which promotes the production of an enzyme, called a carbapenemase, which is a Beta-lactamase enzyme which resists certain antibiotics, called carbapenems – these are some of the most potent antibiotics which are used.

This new “super bug” is not actually a bacteria in itself, but an ability in a bacteria to produce this Beta-lactamase enzyme.

The gene is capable of being transmitted from one strain of bacteria to another.

Currently NDM-1 has been found in Enterobacteriaceae such as E. Coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in between 37 and 50 cases in the UK depending on the source.

These patients were said to have brought the enzyme gene from Asia, where they had received cosmetic surgery or cancer treatments. The origin of the NDM-1 is said to be Pakistan or India.

The resistance to the carbapenem antibiotics is caused due to the ability of the beta-lactamase to break apart the specific molecular structure of carbapenems – a four-atom ring called a beta-lactam.

The idea which has caused so much supposed concern by medical officials, is that this enzyme will be integrated into very virulent bacterial strains, which are already resistant to lesser types of antibiotics – and so there would be no currently available drug to combat them.

The result, they would say, is potentially that highly dangerous diseases would be incurable and many people would die.

The real risk to people depends on the individual.

For those who rely on the mainstream medical system when they are ill, who turn to antibiotics as a cure, there is potential serious risk.

The enzyme has passed it would seem exclusively in hospitals, and if the cure which you count on is antibiotics, and you have contracted a strain of bacteria with NDM-1, you are likely to get no help from that trusted source.

For those who do not turn to mainstream medicine and do not take antibiotics, though, there is no ‘super bug’.

The resistance of the diseases depend simply upon their resistance to antibiotics, they are not super-resistant to natural means of prevention and cure, nor are the diseases themselves more deadly if they run their course because of the addition of NDM-1.

If you wish to ensure that you are more safe from this supposed threat than the average person, practice common sense, natural medicine.

Will we see a new vaccine campaign? This is very unlikely, unless the vaccine is simply offered to the public as a placebo to general ignorance.

Since the problem is a gene, which can inhabit a multitude of bacterial strains, either a vaccine would have to cover a very broad range of bacteria or it would be pointless.

Though vaccines are essentially pointless and always dangerous anyway, it might require a level of ignorance in the public which is hard to imagine in order to successfully sell a vaccine for NDM-1 bacterial diseases.

It is highly unlikely, also, that there will be any real threat of pandemic because of NDM-1.

Even now in an age when people trust the medical arts so completely, and the natural immunity of people is much lower than it should be, most pathogens are fought off naturally without any visit to the doctor and oftentimes without even symptoms.

Those who might be seriously at risk are those who have very compromised immune systems, and who are not equip with the knowledge of how to treat themselves with natural remedies.

The one real concern which can come of all of this is the intentional over-reaction of health authorities and governments, fueled even more by intentionally induced public panic.

“Dr. Livermore’s fears are well founded and this scenario is similar to many frightening science fiction medical horror movies… But it’s real and it could wipe out a large portion of the Earth’s population if left unattended. Hopefully all the cases have been found out and all those infected be placed in quarantine.” news.gather.com

Even at this early point in the development of this news come statements of ‘containment’ and ‘quarantine’.

“A combination of new drugs are now sought to kill the super bug in the reported 50 UK cases. Doctors say the only way to end NDM-1 from spreading is to quarantined those showing signs of infection immediately.”

“Speaking about the potential for NDM-1 to go global, UK’s Health Protection Agency (HPA) researcher Dr David Livermore said, “The fear would be that [the super bug gene] gets into a strain of bacteria that is very good at being transmitted between patients.”

It is my hope that this does not grow into an opportunity for governments to impose oppressive conditions on their citizens.

It is nevertheless a good time to learn how to live without doctors.

Message From the Elite : “You Will Eat the Fodder We Feed You”

Posted in 10 : Culling the Herd with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on 07/01/2010 by timenolonger

If you want to raise some livestock, it’s necessary that you first put up a good fence or enclosure, next you’ll want to control which animals breed with each other… and certainly, of perhaps greatest importance, is making sure they get the food you want them to eat.

If you were an ethical farmer, you’d probably give the animals free range and let them feed at pasture… if your concerns were more selfish, you’d more likely keep them locked in close quarters and feed them cheap, non-nutritious fodder, and shoot them up with antibiotics and hormones to force their production levels up.

As you gaze around your world, it might come home to you that you are, in fact, the livestock kept for the use of the elite power holders of the world.

Your masters aren’t ethical farmers either… they are greedy, and prone to “livestock abuse”. They have fenced you into the small, unnatural enclosures of urban dwelling, piped in toxic water for you to drink, and put in place a grid to surveil your every action.

Far be it from those who think of everything where their cattle are concerned, to neglect to be assured that you are provided with the fodder that they want you to have.

A cheap, non-nutritious diet which they will be happy to add to their regimen of antibiotics and vaccinations which you, their farm animals, are prescribed.

The idea of livestock having access to anything they’d want to eat is ridiculous of course… sheep are dumb, they might decide to dine on something poisonous.

The question is, do you consider yourself a sheep or a human being?

Imprisoned Sheep

If you are a human being, I might assume that you have enough intelligence to make choices between consuming what is dangerous and what is healthful, and even if I were wrong in my assumptions, I would still have to afford you the right to make a choice, because it’s simply wrong to impose what I feel is best for you on your person by force.

If the government powers that mandate laws on food safety felt that you were a human being with the natural right to make those choices… this would be a vastly different country, maybe even one approaching something like “free”, but alas, they count you as livestock.

To bring into focus the disturbing reality of “their” view of you… consider raw milk.

Most people have been raised up on a repetition of argument for the pasteurization process. Children are informed in school, and tend to believe for the duration of their lives, that this process is what ensures milk is clean enough to drink, so one doesn’t catch some “nasty bug” from drinking the raw product.

In the growing awareness of healthful, natural living, however… some have come to realize that when they have access to consuming raw milk, their health is greatly improved. Ailments which have plagued them their whole lives disappear, they stop needing to visit a doctor, and they generally get sick less often.

For this reason, there is a growing would-be market for raw milk. I say “would-be”, because the sale and distribution of raw milk is illegal in many states, and if the government had its way, it would be illegal in all 50.

Imprisoned Cow

From it’s growing popularity has come serious irritation from the “Masters of the Herd”… they can’t have their livestock learning that there are better ways to eat and live than what they have provided, and so the raids have begun.

You might expect that some viciously evil criminal bent on causing death and mayhem had been apprehended, if you witnessed one of these raids… complete with swat teams and armed officers… but the “criminals” have been no one of greater threat than small farmers, often Amish farmers.

The charges are flimsy… even if you feel inclined to uphold a law against the sale and distribution of raw milk, it is mostly the case that these small farmers are only serving the raw milk to their own families or giving it away to neighbors and friends… neither of which are illegal.

In one such incident in which an Amish farm was raided, the officials proclaimed “We have credible evidence that you are involved in interstate commerce.” The said “credible evidence” was not explained, and amounts to hearsay as a justification for the raid.

What’s the law though to those who are above it? If the law can’t get the job done… just weasel around it… can’t have the sheep feeding on open pastures.

In another incident it was shareholders in a dairy farm, and the operators of said farm who came under fire. In the case of shareholders, people pay to have shares of dairy cows which they then can take milk from for their own use. No sale of milk is actually taking place… but still, something must be done… livestock are getting something other than their prescribed fodder.

Here is the description of the event by one of the shareholders:

“”I was placing empty bottles in carriers when I noticed a Cincinnati police cruiser moving through the parking lot slowly toward the trailer.

Another cruiser followed. Officers moved toward the cow-share owners and told them not to pick up the milk that had already been set out, and actually moved in to prevent members from picking up the milk.”

Out of several unmarked cars emerged men in plain clothes who “gathered near the tailgate of the trailer,” Miller says.

Only one would identify himself, an agent of the Ohio Dept. of Agriculture (ODA), she says. Other agents were there from the Kentucky Public Health Dept. and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

Joanne Miller thinks there were about eight agents there, plus the four Cincinnati police.

As the agents began confiscating the milk both from the truck and from a few shareholders, and loading it into an ODA van, she says, they told objecting shareholders, “What’s happening here is not your concern.””

People who feel that human beings are human beings – and therefore have the intellectual capacity to choose their own foods – are fighting back.

The Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund has filed a lawsuit stating that the ban on raw milk is fundamentally unconstitutional… which it surely is, if we are to accept that in the definition of the pursuit of life and liberty and happiness includes choosing what one wishes to eat or not, and that the control of the health of one’s own body is not just a right afforded by constitution, but afforded by the very definition of being a human being, made in the image of the Creator.

The FDA’s response to the lawsuit though, cleared up for anyone still guessing about where they stand in the structure of society according to the ruling controllers… with no attempt at a sugar coating. Here is their response:

“”Plaintiffs’ assertion of a new ‘fundamental right’ to produce, obtain, and consume unpasteurized milk lacks any support in law.” [p. 4]

“It is within HHS’s authority . . . to institute an intrastate ban [on unpasteurized milk] as well.” [p. 6]

“Plaintiffs’ assertion of a new ‘fundamental right’ under substantive due process to produce, obtain, and consume unpasteurized milk lacks any support in law.” [p.17]

“There is no absolute right to consume or feed children any particular food.” [p. 25]

“There is no ‘deeply rooted’ historical tradition of unfettered access to foods of all kinds.” [p. 26]

“Plaintiffs’ assertion of a ‘fundamental right to their own bodily and physical health, which includes what foods they do and do not choose to consume for themselves and their families’ is similarly unavailing because plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to obtain any food they wish.” [p. 26]

FDA’s brief goes on to state that:

“even if such a right did exist, it would not render FDA’s regulations unconstitutional, because prohibiting the interstate sale and distribution of unpasteurized milk promotes bodily and physical health.” [p. 27]

“There is no fundamental right to freedom of contract.” [p. 27]”

In case the full weight of their message didn’t fully digest in your mind… meditate on this for a moment: “Plaintiffs’ assertion of a ‘fundamental right to their own bodily and physical health, which includes what foods they do and do not choose to consume for themselves and their families’ is similarly unavailing because plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to obtain any food they wish.”

In other words… the government gavel has dropped on the matter, and it has been ruled that you are far too ignorant and degenerate a creature to have control over your own health, the foods you wish to eat and those you don’t… it’s not your body… it’s theirs.

Don’t for one minute believe that anything else is meant to be sent here other than “You Belong To Us”.

The only question left to be asked, is why the controllers of your person would wish to keep things like raw milk out of your hands.

Taking a look at some other things they want to keep out of your hands might explain a lot.

Codex Alimentarius… the devil of food and safety laws, which sadly went without nearly enough attention from people, as it loomed closer to reality in the last couple years, was recently implemented by Obama, when no one was looking.

To explain Codex Alimentarius briefly… this abomination defines anything which could remotely have an effect on your health a “drug”… and so includes everyday vitamins, minerals and natural herbs that might grow in anyone’s back yard.

Since these things are now drugs… you’re not allowed to have them without a prescription… even as a food source.

Private PropertyTo ensure that you will not be getting those dangerous vitamins in your foods they will mandate irradiation of all foods you can purchase, and a widespread use of GMO products so that vitamins and minerals can be kept at such low levels in your food as to be negligible.

The problem is that vitamins are not just good for you… they are absolutely necessary for survival.

Just try living without consuming any vitamin C for a while and find out what occurs. First you will have hangnails and cracked lips, then you will have spots developing on your skin, and bleeding from your mucus membranes, eventually you will have large open sores and begin loosing your teeth, and at last, you’ll die… but I wouldn’t really recommend taking the experiment that far.

The cure? Eat an orange.

It just so happens that raw milk has such a powerful potential for healing in the human body that to allow it’s sale and distribution widely would revolutionize the health of the populace.

People would suffer from far fewer ailments which are simply taken for granted as being “normal” and good reasons to go see a doctor. The pharmaceutical industry would take a large financial hit… but the most sinister of reasons is that the elite would lose valuable ground in their attempt to cull their herd.

Depopulation is the holy grail of agendas on the elite’s to-do list.

These are some of the benefits which are denied people who have only pasteurized milk to drink:

Raw milk is anti-microbial… you will get sick much less often with a diet including raw milk.

It is anti-carcinogenic… it actually Fights Cancer..

It is easily digested… people who are lactose intolerant are so because the milk they drink is pasteurized and no longer has the appropriate enzymes to aid digestion of the milk.

It prevents tooth decay… who needs fluoride?

Raw milk raises your metabolic functions, fights obesity and helps build muscle.

It drastically improves asthma conditions, and fights insulin resistance in diabetics

If this world, this society and its governing made sense… if it is organized for the good of people and not for their harm… we would see this product promoted, not banned.

We would see farms run the old fashioned way… ethically… with clean and natural conditions which produce healthy animals, and thus healthy milk.

Instead we have a society which promotes giant agribusiness… encourages the use of chemicals, antibiotics and steroids… cramped living conditions and poor nutrition, which then produce sickly animals and thus filthy milk which is sanitized to be drank, dead microbes and all.

But what can you expect for real cows when human beings are farmed in a like manner?

Depriving People of Life and Humanity

Posted in 10 : Culling the Herd with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on 05/13/2010 by timenolonger

Since Adam, man has been meant to live a life of agriculture. It is in the core of human instinct to plant and sow, nurture and reap a harvest, and doing so is a big part of human fulfillment.

Growing food for living is not only a matter of survival of days past, when people could not simply go to the grocery store to buy food, it is a matter of survival of this day as well. Food does not magically appear on store shelves, someone grows it.

Unfortunately it is the case that fewer and fewer real farmers grow the food that people eat and more so it has become true that food is grown by giant agricultural factories who are not interested in how the food they produce nourishes the people who buy it, but are interested in making the largest profit possible and being an unbeatable competition for real farmers.

This is not just a problem for farmers, it is a problem for you.

It is the small, local farmer who is more likely to care that they are not using pesticides and herbicides and GMO seed which people do not wish to consume, and which – if one is forced to eat long enough – will destroy the body.

It is not enough for some that the giant agricultural factories are suffocating the small, local farms, but now they wish to implement laws that will not just make it hard, but make it impossible for small farms to continue to operate, and even make it impossible for people to have their own gardens.

Such an evil combination of legislation has been proposed or accepted recently which hurt all areas of a persons ability to eat clean, healthy food and have access to natural cures.

These measures greatly benefit the black-hearted greed of such organizations like drug companies and GMO food producers like Monsanto.

The evil, though, is deeper than just their greed.

They are aware of what it will mean for people if they are forced on to a diet of processed, genetically manipulated and chemically poisoned foods. They know what it will mean to take away the healing herbs which The Almighty created, and cause people to run to drugs instead for their remedy.

As it is already the case that these things are taking many lives in this nation, it will ensure that nearly everyone will live a shorter and a sicker life.

And what else will be lost? The joy of spending a day with the family in the sun, tending the garden, watching the miracle of His increase as He gives it upon their labors. No money can buy blessings like those.

It makes me wonder how much of their plans might be thwarted just by a great mass of repentance by people in this nation.

It might be that He has handed over the country to those who would destroy it and its people, because it is a society so rotten with sin and in love with sin.

“Woe is me, for I am like those who gather summer fruits. Like those who glean vintage grapes. There is no cluster to eat of the first-ripe fruit that my soul desires.

The faithful have perished from the earth and no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood. Every man hunts his brother with a net that they may successfully do evil with both hands.

The prince asks and the judge a reward and the high placed utters his evil desire. So they scheme together. The best of them is like a brier, the most upright a thorn hedge. The day of your watchman and your punishment comes. Now shall be their perplexity.”
– Micah 7:1-4

“S 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010, may be the most dangerous bill in the history of the US. It is to our food what the bailout was to our economy, only we can live without money.

1. It puts all US food and all US farms under Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, in the event of contamination or an ill-defined emergency

2. It would end US sovereignty over its own food supply by insisting on compliance with the WTO, thus threatening national security.

3. It would allow the government, under Maritime Law, to define the introduction of any food into commerce (even direct sales between individuals) as smuggling into “the United States.”

4. It imposes Codex Alimentarius on the US, a global system of control over food.

5. It would remove the right to clean, store and thus own seed in the US, putting control of seeds in the hands of Monsanto and other multinationals, threatening US security.

6. It includes NAIS, an animal traceability program that threatens all small farmers and ranchers raising animals.

7. It extends a failed and destructive HACCP to all food, thus threatening to do to all local food production and farming what HACCP did to meat production – put it in corporate hands and worsen food safety.

8. It deconstructs what is left of the American economy.

9. It would allow the government to mandate antibiotics, hormones, slaughterhouse waste, pesticides and GMOs.

10. It uses food crimes as the entry into police state power and control.” Food Freedom
