Miranda Scott, only 18, was working out at the University of British Columbia gym when she fell over backward and died. Her autopsy showed that she died of blood clots throughout her body. She was taking Yasmin at the time of her death. Her mother is now part of a Canadian class action lawsuit against the drug manufacturer, along with hundreds of family members and women who have been harmed or killed by the pill. 

Thrombosis means blood clots that can cause stroke, heart attack, blindness, brain damage, and death. Still, women are not warned about the risk of blood clots with their daily steroidal hormone pill. This is serious and senseless deception and negligence. Yet, even as Bayer pays out huge settlements, it says it “stands by” its birth control products. Even Elizabeth Kissling, writing for the radical feminist magazine Ms, is troubled by the cover-up and lack of education and testing women are given before being prescribed the pill. 

The pill kills truth. It exists and is prescribed to women amid a swirl of chaos; amidst contradictions and lies; and amidst dead, blind, and profoundly injured women. Prescribing doctors tell women birth control is perfectly safe if they don’t smoke. Emergency room doctors tell women they “regularly encounter otherwise healthy young women with blood clots, almost all caused by birth control.” Billions of dollars are paid out by drug companies to settle lawsuits, while they say they still stand by their contraceptive pills.

Southern Command chief Major General Eyal Zamir told reporters on Wednesday that building the barrier could cause an escalation, but said the army will continue building the barrier even if Hamas targets the work there. “I think the other side will have to reevaluate the situation in view of the barrier’s construction,” he said. “If Hamas chooses to go to war over the barrier, it will be a worthy reason (for the IDF) to go to war over – but the barrier will be built.”

In recent months Israel has set up concrete factories on the Gaza border, brought foreign laborers and contracted companies to flatten the area around the border and build sand mounds to protect the workers. The defense establishment hopes the underground concrete barrier will eliminate the threat posed by Hamas tunnels entering Israel. Sensors installed inside the barrier will sound an alarm if anyone approaches it and warn Israel of any future tunnel digging.

The barrier’s construction is also aimed at destroying the existing tunnels near the border. The army is using a huge drilling machine that crushes anything in its path to a considerable depth. This is expected to destroy the tunnels currently crossing the border from Gaza to Israel.

The North Koreans have warned us that if we strike them they will respond by firing missiles at South Korea, Japan, Guam and potentially even targets in the continental United States. It would be a war in which potentially millions of people could die, and in the end there would be no “winner”. If a single North Korean nuke detonated in Seoul, Tokyo or another major city, it would be a disaster on a scale never seen before in modern human history.

I hope that people start waking up, because we are getting closer to war with North Korea with each passing day. Earlier this week, President Trump threatened North Korea with “fire and fury” if the North Koreans didn’t back down. North Korea almost immediately responded by threatening to bomb our military bases on Guam.

Yes, the United States could defeat North Korea militarily, but in the process millions (or even tens of millions) of people could die, and such an outcome is absolutely unthinkable.

The United States power establishment has an extensive history of using lies, false flags and propaganda to manipulate its hundreds of millions of citizens into supporting needless military interventionism. Of course the United States government and its minions are lying about North Korea, Johnstone reminds us. They ALWAYS lie!

She writes: “From the Gulf of Tonkin incident to the false Nayirah testimony to the amazing network of lies spun about Saddam Hussein to the 'humanitarian' intervention in Libya to the unconscionable Bana Alabed psy-op in Syria, there is no depth to which the US war machine will not stoop in deceiving the public about the need to unload the military-industrial complex’s expensive inventory onto some third world country overseas, no limit to the evils that America’s unelected power establishment will commit in order to secure geopolitical dominance, and no end to the mass media propaganda machine’s willingness to report war propaganda as objective fact.

It is quite literally impossible to be too paranoid about these people. If you had an acquaintance who was a known compulsive liar with an extensive history of duping people into fighting one another for his own sociopathic amusement, how would you react if he handed you a gun and told you that your neighbor is getting ready to attack you?

There is one government in the mix here that has proven itself completely sociopathic and untrustworthy in such matters, and it ain’t the DPRK.

Stay skeptical, stay watchful, and stay woke.

"Oh no," people squeal! "THIS time they're telling the truth!"

Good luck with that.

Blood's on your hands, not ours.”

She heads the article with a reference to Joel (2:31): 'The sun will be turned to darkness... before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord' and goes on to say that when she was teaching that book a few years ago 'the ancient words of his prophecy came up off the page. I knew with hair-raising certainty that God's severe judgment was coming on America! I have taught Joel several times since. Each time has served to confirm with deep conviction that God is warning America of impending disaster and destruction.'

Then there is the famously conservative Cardinal, Raymond Burke, who every few months appears to make the headlines with a controversial statement. Burke was quoted by Lifesitenews.com as telling the Church Teaches Forum in Louisville: 'We are living in the most troubled times in the world and also in the Church' and that those times 'realistically seem to be apocalyptic'.

'Confusion, division, and error' within the Catholic Church coming from 'shepherds' even at the highest levels indicate that we 'may be' in the end times, he was quoted as saying. 'For whatever reason, many shepherds are silent about the situation in which the Church finds herself or have abandoned the clarity of the Church's teaching for the confusion and error which is wrongly thought to address more effectively the total collapse of Christian culture,' he said.

If you think that others will become afraid that the bank will run out of cash, it might be rational to empty your own savings account first. And so, for many, scenes of long queues outside branches of UK bank Northern Rock in September 2007 is still their earliest memory of the credit crunch and the global financial crisis.

The rest is, of course, history: the collapse of the bank Lehman Brothers in September 2008 and the most severe financial crisis since the Great Depression (not to mention the LIBOR scandal). Even today, central bankers, regulators and other policy makers talk about measures that ought to be taken to avoid another “Lehman moment”.

What they refer to is a situation in which the entire global financial system is on the brink of total collapse. August 9, 2007 will not go down in history as the day the world ended. Rather, to cite the former Northern Rock boss Adam Applegarth it will be remembered as the “day the world changed”.

China Scrambles to Feed Their Own. Economic growth has stoked appetites in China and has stirred a taste for Western cuisine. As a result China has gone on public health campaigns warning the public to cut back on meat in order to keep up with demands for dwindling supplies.

China tries to grasp arable land in other countries like the US, Russia, South America, Africa and more to feed their population. As little as 20% of their arable land is usable due to startling amounts of pollution. So how can they be producing organic for the rest of the world?

How does severe pollution fit into the organic picture. Answer, it doesn’t. The US has strict standards for organic, but China doesn’t have them, and we have weak inspections on imports. So how can that food be considered organic?

Many people think of heart disease as an inevitable part of aging, but it is something we can easily win the war against, Dr Fuhrman stated. “Nobody has to have a heart attack or stroke,” he said. “People don’t have to get dementia. These are diseases related to nutritional ignorance.” People in the United States have among the highest risk of heart attack in the world. There are pockets around the world, such as in Papua New Guinea, where they have almost no heart disease. The difference is diet.

Fifty-five percent of the American diet consists of processed foods, Dr Fuhrman noted. The amounts of plant materials in our diet are inadequate. These foods contain phytochemicals and antioxidants, which are necessary for the human immune system to function properly, and to prevent inflammation and atherosclerosis. Processed foods, such as pasta, breads, salad oils, donuts and crackers contain no phytochemicals or antioxidants. They’re just calories with no nutrients, Fuhrman noted.

“The amount of color vegetation we’re eating is about 5 percent of total calories in the American diet,” Dr Fuhrman said. “That’s the perfect formula to create an epidemic of cancer and heart disease. Heart disease is totally unnatural. Not only is it not the inevitable consequence of aging: you can get better and reverse it as you’re getting older if you follow the correct diet.”

Dr Fuhrman has had experiences with patients diagnosed with severe heart disease who followed his dietary guidelines and saw a complete reversion. These people are living into their 80s and 90s without blood pressure medication, cholesterol drugs, angioplasty or bypass surgery.

“It’s amazing how fast it goes away, how fast the blood pressure drops, and how fast the chest pains go away,” he said. “Day in and day out, the American diet stresses our body, ages us prematurely and damages our blood vessels and our heart. The minute you stop doing that, the damage stops.” “Nobody has to have a heart attack or stroke,” says Dr Fuhrman. “People don’t have to get dementia. These are diseases related to nutritional ignorance.”

While it is a growing specialty in the medical profession, the truth is conventional medical education developed out of funding from drug companies. “The medical profession, historically, has been a distribution arm for the pharmaceutical industry,” Dr Fuhrman said. “It’s barbaric, to a degree, because people really think their answer to health problems is to go to doctors and get prescribed medications.”
