Not Much Has Changed
These headlines are already a few years old, and nothing has really changed. Here are the shocking headlines of September 2013, and my suggested action…
A word about Monsanto… Advocates for health and environment say the monograph on the world’s most widely used herbicide, more widely known by its trade name Roundup, has had a devastating effect on humans around the world. Some of the negatives include cancer, acute poisoning, both kidney and liver damage, reproductive and developmental reduction, imbalances in the intestinal microbiome and intestinal functioning, , genotoxicity, endocrine disruption, , neurological damage, and immune system dysfunction, just to mention a few. Eating organically grown food, and organically feed animal meat, is the only answer- we must eliminate the pesticides from our diet! It is more costly to be sure, but a worthwhile way to spend your money. In our family, most of our extra money goes for books, healing supplies, good food, and anything that might help us vibrate at a higher frequency!!
California Edison knew! A secret report released today confirms that Southern California Edison knew about serious problems with new equipment at the San Onofre nuclear plant years before that defective equipment was installed. Why am I not surprised? Despite this knowledge, Edison moved forward with reactor modifications, putting millions of Southern Californians at risk of radiation exposure and ultimately causing the now year-long shutdown of the reactors. The report was released by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Folks, get out your Sai Sanjeevini pattern to neutralize radiation- I keep one taped to my computer and also to my dresser in the bedroom, as well as one folded in my wallet.
You probably know Kraft Macaroni and Cheese — the easy-to-make dinner in the blue box. It’s not exactly the healthiest food in the world, but for many families, it’s a cheap and quick option for a hot meal. There’s a reason that Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is bright orange when it’s ready to eat. Kraft uses chemical colorings that serve no purpose for flavoring or nutrition. Those chemicals — known as Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 — have been linked by experts to serious health issues like asthma, skin rashes, migraines, and hyperactivity in children. Cooking from scratch is the best alternative, and knowing your food sources will help to eliminate such issues considerably.
Rich bank- poor people. Some of the nation’s largest banks are looking to make obscene profits by exploiting some of the country’s poorest people. Banks like Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Fifth Third Bank and Regions Bank have started marketing payday loans to their customers. These short-term, high-cost loans are blatantly predatory. The fees charged for making these loans are equivalent on average to more than a 300% annualized interest rate. And while payday lenders like to pretend it’s a solution to a short-term cash crunch, the fact is that they make their money when loan recipients pay off one loan by taking out another payday loan, thereby falling into a cycle of debt that’s hard to escape. I have seen some of my co-workers in the lobby of Wells Fargo bank which is downstairs from my office, and I cut through everyday on my way home. It crossed my mind- what were they doing there at the bank… I hardly thought they were checking into CD rates or home loans- most of us rent anymore and live too modestly to invest. Now I get it- payday loans…when the rich rob the poor, it’s called business. We must learn to live within our means. Downsize, but do not borrow. Do not purchase on credit- if you don’t have the money, you don’t buy it, period.
The Horrible GEO Group. The private prison company the GEO Group has been found to run some of the most disgusting prisons in America. One judge called a GEO prison a “cesspool of unconstitutional and inhuman acts and conditions” — places where children were placed in solitary confinement, guards sexually assaulted inmates, and prisoners regularly attempted suicide. Private prisons are hugely problematic, because they run prisons based on profits, not what’s best for prisoners or for society. For example, an NPR investigation in 2011 found that GEO Group prisons have far fewer guards than government-run prisons. Prisoners have even died waiting for medical attention. In fact, the GEO Group’s prisons are so bad that the state of Mississippi kicked them out of the state entirely, as did Australia in 2003. Social injustice may be met with broadcasting Sai Sanjeevini combinations such as to include greed, negative emotions, Divine values, Sarva Shakthi Shanthi, and vaccine antidote.
