Why we should regulate sugar like alcohol

First, we think that the public needs to be better informed about the science of how sugar impacts our health.

Second, we need to take what we know about protecting societies from the health harms of alcohol and apply it to sugar.

What doesn't work is all-out prohibition -- that's very old-school and often creates more problems than it solves.

What does work are gentle "supply side" controls, such as taxing products, setting age limits and promoting healthier versions of the product -- like making it cheaper for a person to drink light beer rather than schnapps.

The reality is that unfettered corporate marketing actually limits our choices about the products we consume. If what's mostly available is junk food and soda, then we actually have to go out of our way to find an apple or a drinking fountain. What we want is to actually increase people's choices by making a wider range of healthy foods easier and cheaper to get.

Turning around obesity and chronic disease will be an uphill political fight, but there's plenty that concerned people can do:

Occupy Wall Street Protesters Throw Condoms At Catholic Schoolgirls, Drown Out Speakers At Rhode Island Pro-Life Rally

PROVIDENCE, RI, January 30, 2012 – Demonstrators from the Occupy Wall Street movement threw condoms on Catholic schoolgirls, refused to allow a Catholic priest to give a closing prayer, and shouted down a pro-life speaker at a Rhode Island right to life rally on Thursday, according to its organizer. The event marked the third time protesters associated with the movement have disrupted a pro-life meeting in a week.

About two-dozen members of Occupy Providence hiked from Burnside Park to the 39th Annual Pro-Life State House Rally organized by the Rhode Island State Right to Life Committee on Thursday.

The pro-life organization’s executive director, Barth E. Bracy, told LifeSiteNews.com that, near the end of the rally, the Occupiers “strategically fanned out with military precision.”

That’s when they “started showering condoms down on some of the girls from a Catholic high school.”

They gathered around speakers at the podium, shouting them down or otherwise jostling them and members of the audience.

Bracy, who finished only a quarter of his keynote address before being drowned out by chants and catcalls, said the Occupiers – who carried a large sign reading “Occupy Providence” and wore distinguishing arm bands – physically bumped several people. “They’re touching you. They’re swarming you,” he said.

Bracy said he was disappointed when he tried to ask a man from the national Occupy Wall Street movement, who identified himself as “Dallas,” what opposing the right to life had to do with economics. “You can’t have a reasoned conversation with these people,” he said, “They simply try to taunt you. They’re smug, snarky, arrogant. You won’t get a straight answer.”

Church vs. State

admin's picture

From: The Blaze

We’ve covered the Catholic Church’s ongoing battle with the Obama administration over contraception health care mandates for quite some time. Over the weekend, though, the stand-off took an unusual turn, as Catholic churches across America read a letter to congregants that perfectly encapsulated the church’s stance against the impending federal requirements.

The Church’s vocal arguments against the Obama administration are centered upon a Health and Human Services Department requirement that employers must include contraception and abortion-inducing drugs in health-care coverage. While this requirement doesn’t apply to houses of worship, it will force Catholic colleges, hospitals and other Christian groups to provide these drugs despite their faith-based opposition to them.

Many of these organizations, despite not being, themselves, churches, are intrinsically rooted in religious belief systems that stand firmly opposed to medications and procedures that would terminate the life of an unborn child. These deeply-rooted moral codes, which drive the groups’ work, will be impeded, Catholic leaders say, should the Obama administration continue with its planned mandate.

Recently, the federal government made one small concession surrounding the requirement, as officials decided to give church-affiliated hospitals and organizations another year before they will be forced to comply with the coverage restrictions.
Catholic Letter Denounces Health Care Contraceptive Mandate

“In effect, the president is saying we have a year to figure out how to violate our consciences,” Cardinal-designate Timothy M. Dolan, archbishop of New York and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, recently said.

Doomed Dollar?

From Monty Pelerin's World

How Currencies Die and Gold Prospers

The Dollar is doomed. So too are most other fiat currencies. It is the nature of fiat currencies and the nature of governments throughout history.

All countries have abused their citizenry and investors via the printing press. Since the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, the dollar has lost 96% of its value. Most of that loss has occurred since 1970. It was 1971 when the U.S. officially defaulted on its promise to redeem dollars for gold. That marked the point where, for the first time in modern history, gold was completely removed from any role in the world monetary system. Then, there was no hard constraint to prevent any country from inflating its currency. All did!

With the dollar as the reserve currency of the world, the U.S. has had (and used) advantages not available to, but coveted by other countries. At times, our monetary policy has forced (at least in the opinion of foreign policy makers) inflation onto other countries. Behind the scenes there has been resentment building toward U.S. dollar hegemony for decades. Part of this resentment results from US abuses, part results from other countries wanting a similar ability to plunder. The current financial crisis, arguably begun in the U.S., has exacerbated both of these sentiments.

We were at an impasse with Europe over proper monetary and fiscal policy. In The Keynesian Dead End the conflict was described:

Now the political and fiscal bills are coming due even as the U.S. and European economies are merely muddling along. The Europeans have had enough and want to swear off the sauce, while the Obama Administration wants to keep running a bar tab.

How Do You Feel About Voter Fraud in School Board Elections?

admin's picture

Just recently we became aware of a very troubling situation.

As many of you know, ROPE has raised concerns over the hiring of former OEA head lobbyist, Joel Robison, by our new State Superintendent. New information (well, a reminder of old information actually) has come to our attention and we feel it important to share that information with you.

Please read the article below (posted on our blog and our Facebook account). Think about it. Digest it. Decide for yourself if our argument makes sense. If it does, please send it on to anyone else you think would be interested.

Soon, we will be sending you information on the bills we will be asking you to help us forward for the upcoming session.

We will be running bills to try to repeal the use of Common Core in Oklahoma again this session. As last year, we will be unable to even allow the public to decide on this issue if the Chairman of the House Common Education Committee, Representative Anne Coody, won't allow the bill to be heard in her committee. This, truly, is an unacceptable concentration of power that prevents the voice of the people from being heard. We hope you will join with us to help change Mrs. Coody's mind on this issue. We will provide more information on this effort later this week.

Don't forget, Oklahoma's legislative session starts February 6th. There are already threats to the Home School community and we will be providing information on that as well.

As always, thank you for all your concern for children, liberty and the Constitution, and thank you for your help.

Four Horsemen

admin's picture

From: Bill Buckler's "The Privateer"

The Four Harbingers Of The Apocalypse:

There are four indicators today which show as clearly as anything can be shown the state of our global debt-based monetary and financial system. Any one of them alone should be all the evidence one needs that the system is unsustainable. Put them together and much more than the canary is singing.

First, the most popular (measured by its nominal “value”) investment vehicle today is a combination of a bet that sovereign debt will go bankrupt and an “insurance policy” that if/when it does, the holders of the debt paper will be made whole. These are called “credit default swaps” or CDSs, conceived in the early 1990s and unleashed on the investment world shortly thereafter. The total of CDSs outstanding doubled every year from 2003 to 2007. This growth paused in 2008 – early 2009 and then exploded again with the onset of “quantitative easing”.
The second indicator is the mere fact that it is now universally accepted in the investment world that the only “safe” government debt is one issued by a government whose central bank has demonstrated its willingness to print money.
The third indicator is the fact that the “sovereign debt crisis” hype is focussed exclusively on Europe in a desperate attempt to prevent the discovery that everybody is in the same boat.
And the fourth and last is Gold. On the paper markets, the price of Gold can and is being manipulated. Beyond Gold’s price appreciation is the ever increasing global demand for physical Gold and the fact that central banks throughout Europe and Asia are ADDING to their supply.

A 'Genocidal' Thanksgiving

A 'Genocidal' Thanksgiving

By Mark Tooley on 11.28.11 @ 6:08AM

The academic and Religious Left believe that Western Civilization, especially America, is uniquely contaminating to an otherwise pristine world. So celebrations of the European settlement of the Western Hemisphere are always problematic. Thanksgiving is no exception.

Just in time for the holiday was an anti-Thanksgiving column in Jim Wallis' Sojourners. "I've been checking my heart for years why I can't just go with the flow and to see the 'redemptive' aspect of present day Thanksgiving," declared the Rev. Eugene Cho, pastor of a Seattle church.

BCM HAS CEASED OPERATIONS
POSTED BY ANN BARNHARDT – NOVEMBER 17, AD 2011 10:27 AM MST

Dear Clients, Industry Colleagues and Friends of Barnhardt Capital Management,It is with regret and unflinching moral certainty that I announce that Barnhardt Capital Management has ceased operations. After six years of operating as an independent introducing brokerage, and eight years of employment as a broker before that, I found myself, this morning, for the first time since I was 20 years old, watching the futures and options markets open not as a participant, but as a mere spectator.The reason for my decision to pull the plug was excruciatingly simple: I could no longer tell my clients that their monies and positions were safe in the futures and options markets – because they are not. And this goes not just for my clients, but for every futures and options account in the United States. The entire system has been utterly destroyed by the MF Global collapse. Given this sad reality, I could not in good conscience take one more step as a commodity broker, soliciting trades that I knew were unsafe or holding funds that I knew to be in jeopardy.

The futures markets are very highly-leveraged and thus require an exceptionally firm base upon which to function. That base was the sacrosanct segregation of customer funds from clearing firm capital, with additional emergency financial backing provided by the exchanges themselves. Up until a few weeks ago, that base existed, and had worked flawlessly. Firms came and went, with some imploding in spectacular fashion. Whenever a firm failure happened, the customer funds were intact and the exchanges would step in to backstop everything and keep customers 100% liquid – even as their clearing firm collapsed and was quickly replaced by another firm within the system.

Hyperinflation

admin's picture

From : Monty Pelerin's World

A Simple Example and Explanation of Hyperinflation

To understand hyperinflation, this example from Art Cashin dealing with the price of a German loaf of bread is enlightening:

To understand the incomprehensible scope of the German inflation maybe it’s best to start with something basic….like a loaf of bread. (To keep things simple we’ll substitute dollars and cents in place of marks and pfennigs. You’ll get the picture.) In the middle of 1914, just before the war, a one pound loaf of bread cost 13 cents. Two years later it was 19 cents. Two years more and it sold for 22 cents. By 1919 it was 26 cents. Now the fun begins.

In 1920, a loaf of bread soared to $1.20, and then in 1921 it hit $1.35. By the middle of 1922 it was $3.50. At the start of 1923 it rocketed to $700 a loaf. Five months later a loaf went for $1200. By September it was $2 million. A month later it was $670 million (wide spread rioting broke out). The next month it hit $3 billion. By mid month it was $100 billion. Then it all collapsed.

Many people know that the Supply of Money is related (generally with a lag) to price inflation. Few understand that all hyperinflations occur when the Demand for Money collapses. At some point in the process of inflating the supply of money, people recognize what is happening and begin to spend money faster (the “velocity” of money) increases) in order to avoid expected price increases.

When matters become especially obvious, no one wants to hold money. Vendors refuse to accept it and exchange goods only for other goods (barter). In monetarist terms, the velocity of money accelerates rapidly. At this point, the government or central bank has lost complete control. Changes to the money supply are dwarfed by changes in money demand. Hyperinflation is the result.

Who is Gyoergy Schwartz

admin's picture

From :The Daily Bell

The Evil Marionette Master
Adrian Krieg

President Wilson was the puppet of the Rothschilds through his handler, Colonel Edward Mandell House. Some contend that Wilson never during his entire presidency expressed a single self-realized thought. Things have not changed much in respect to control, except that the new puppet master, while being schooled by the Rothschilds in Europe, is the "resident evil" who makes the Rothschild dynasty look positively benign.

Know Thine Enemy

Gyoergy Schwartz is the birth name of Obama's financier and alter ego; you most likely know him as George Soros. He was born in Hungary (they don't want him back) on August 12, 1930. Gyoergy in his own words is an atheist, anti-family, anti-American, hater of free enterprise, who in WWII betrayed his own Jewish people, working with his father to expose Jews to the Gestapo for commissions when their property was confiscated. "It was the best time of my life," said Gyoergy in an interview with American TV. The family changed their name in the 1930's in order to better facilitate their family enterprise of rounding up Jews for the Nazis. Gyoergy is a sociopathic multi-billionaire who has no scruples, morals or ethics. An elitist with the ego of an elephant, he conceives himself as the world's greatest philosopher who has taken it upon himself to CHANGE the world to give us all HOPE in his ill-conceived vision of a world run by him and implemented by his puppet, Obama.

After the war he attended the London School of Economics, a hotbed of Fabian leftist economic theories (they don't want him back either) and one of the fundamental organizations that brought us our present world Keynesian financial system established in 1944 (Bretton Woods in the NH White Mountains) that is responsible for the world economic decline beginning in the late 70's. Here Soros met Professor Karl Popper, a fellow Hungarian ex-patriot, who remained his close friend until Popper's death in 1994. Popper was the originator of two concepts, "the open society" and modern "Fallibilism." Soros has relentlessly pushed those two concepts. The open society is a concept of a world without borders (EU), without national or geographic identity, no organized religion, no military but a large police force, administered by a "brilliant" cadre of bureaucrats all appointed, not elected. Fallibilism is the concept that people are wrong about their beliefs, expectations and understanding of the world, and that absolute knowledge on any topic is a fallacy. (All knowledge is potentially wrong) So according to this philosophy two plus two does not necessarily sum up to four because that is an absolute belief. Fallibilism is the perfect means through which its adherents legitimize their strident opposition to the status quo. The further fact that Soros thinks of himself as Messianic simply solidifies the fact that this man is far from sane.

The fact is that since the end of WWII most European governments have subscribed to these concepts much to their dismay. The gradual, piecemeal implementation of social programs and progressive (socialist) social reform as the hallmark of the EU, along with their Fabian Keynesian monetary policy, has led them into a horrific mess. The fact that Obama (the Puppet) is implementing these exact policies here in the United States is now widely accepted. One undisputable socialist concept is that previous failures of implementing communist and socialist theories are irrelevant because the new implementers are smarter and more astute, and circumstances are different. That is wrong! Circumstances are not different. They are identical and basing a concept on systems that have repeatedly failed in scores of differing venues is outright stupid. Only an idiot keeps making the same mistake over and over again.

After a short but useful stilt under Rothschild tutelage, Soros moved to NYC. He was employed in New York's financial markets principally in hedge fund trading. So that you understand - hedge funds, which are principally unregulated investments in the gain or loss percentage of an investment. have no core value. The investments lie in the percentage of growth or loss of something of value but without any ownership of the value. It is the ultimate home of scoundrels and thieves whose income is derived as a percentage of the profit realized in the investment of something that has no real value. It is an organized form of gambling, which if you have good inside information (insider trading) will quickly propel you to great wealth. To be successful in this business you must be ruthless, amoral, smart and willing to take risk. By the mid-80's Soros was well on his way to becoming one of the richest men in the world.

Soros made his first billion in shorting the British pound sterling in 1972 with huge shorts that he leveraged, basically breaking the Bank of England. The result of his actions was the decimation of the English middle class, which saw their home values plummet, their savings disappear and their pensions evaporate. Then he did it to Thailand and Malaysia, which saw the Blat collapse, then on to Russia and the Rubes, where in 1999 he almost collapsed the entire Russian economy. As was said by Weng Tojirakarn of Malaysia, "[Soros] is a villain. We regard him a sort of Dracula, sucking the blood from the people."

You must simply understand the huge scope of this social parasite's actions. He was in no small part responsible for the dismantling of Yugoslavia and all the wars that ensued; he was behind the turmoil in Georgia, the Ukraine, Myanmar (Burma), England and Russia, where in each case he destroyed the local economy and then purchased the remaining assets at ten cents on the dollar. The point of the long explanation of Soros's actions is to make you understand that this is exactly what he is doing to America, through his puppet, Obama. Soros in his heart of hearts actually believes that he is benefiting mankind when he destroys an economy and ruptures social systems, thinking that he is stimulating mankind into socialism, which is the crux of his life's work.

A close tie-in between the marionette and his master may be seen in the $10 billion that was guaranteed by Obama to Brazil for the expansion of Petrobras, the mostly state owned petrochemical monopoly in Brazil. Bear in mind that Brazil has a socialist government. Soros is the largest non-governmental stockholder of Petrobras. There was, however a hitch. There were not enough deep drilling platforms available on the world market; well, at least not until Obama stopped all deep drilling and exploration in the Gulf of Mexico. Platforms previously employed for and in America are now working in Brazil. The American Petroleum Institute has estimated that this move by Obama, while being a financial windfall for Soros, is a catastrophe for America, losing us 160,000 jobs, as well as $1.7 trillion in federal tax revenues from oil production.

Soros tirelessly works toward the day when America will be destroyed. Some of his pet projects include amnesty for illegal immigrants, open borders with Mexico, legalization of hallucinogenic drugs, euthanasia and private gun confiscation. None of his philanthropies, that number in the hundreds, benefit anyone or anything but his goals. Soros in fact, as Rachel Ehrenfeld wrote, "uses his philanthropies to CHANGE - or more accurately deconstruct - the moral values and attitudes of the Western world, and particularly of the American people."

Contrary to what you may think is implied by "Open Society", the fact of the matter is that it is not about an open society at all. It is about a socialist construct that gives accreditation to its builders to lord it over everything and everyone. It is the ultimate progressive (socialist) plan entitling the elites.

In the 10 years before Obama was elected Soros gradually took over the radical left wing of the Democrat party, the progressive wing. Today the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) count 74 members of the Democrat party in their association. Soros and his associates fund all of them one way or another. Moveon.org is just another tentacle of the same monster. We are all - or should be - apprised of his regime change operations in Croatia, Georgia and Yugoslavia, which has now become the operating plan for America.

In his own words, "I begin the CHANGE by creating a shadow government." What do you think those 74 bought and paid for DSA members are? "This government is then ready to take the reigns of power when the old order (establishment) collapses." Well, the leader is already in place sitting in the White House when he's not on vacation or playing golf (76 days of golf and 15 vacations during 32 months in office). The collapse is being implemented with aid of the banksters and the DSA Democrat Progressives, who all do the endless bidding of the puppetmaster.

In 2008 Der Spiegel, the largest and most important German news magazine, published an interview with Soros during which he let the cat out of the bag. Soros said, among many things, "I think we need a large stimulus package which will provide funds for state and local government. ... the federal government would need to provide hundreds of billions of dollars. ... In total, the cost would be in the 300 to 600 billion dollar range. ... I think this is a great opportunity to finally deal with global warming and energy dependence. The US needs a cap and trade system with auctioning of licenses for emissions rights. I would use the revenues from these auctions to launch a new, environmentally friendly energy policy. That would be yet another federal program that could help us to overcome the current stagnation." Then along came Ozone Al Gore, another dupe, with his now defunct New York and London climate exchange.

Don't under any circumstance mistakenly think that Soros's clutches are not on the neck of the Republican Party, as well. He has $100 million invested in the Carlyle Group. This is the pinnacle of Republican establishment in the market with such members as George Bush Sr., Dick Cheney and Frank Carlucci - hell, a veritable CIA of Republicans. He also owns about two million shares of Halliburton. Then to clinch the deal for Obama's election he gave the DNC $5 billion.

Soros remains heavily invested in the lamestream media - Time Warner, MSM and others. The shadow government that Soros built up in the run-up to the 2008 election is now the Democratic party, whose head is the puppet Obama. Just remember the run-up to the debate of Obamacare, in which Blue Dog Democrats, mainstream Democrats and all Republicans were locked out and only progressive Soros-funded Democrats (74 of them) were allowed. Together with his empire of subordinates, Soros funded organizations like Moveon.org, The Tides Foundation (also funded by "Saint" Teresa Heinz Kerry), the Apollo Alliance, MediaMatters, ACORN, the SEIU, the ACLU, the Project on Death in America and La Raza (The Race), of which Obama's appointed Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor, is a member.

Don't even bother to look to Obama for the next move; Soros is pulling the strings. All you have to do is listen to his rhetoric to know he is being a narcissistic egotist. There is plenty of that.

The State of the Police State

admin's picture

From : www.bostonherald.com

Lawyer: Cop scanner ‘crosses line’

Civil libertarians are raising the alarm over the state’s plans to create a Big Brother database that could map drivers’ whereabouts with police cruiser-mounted scanners that capture thousands of license plates per hour — storing that information indefinitely where local cops, staties, feds and prosecutors could access it as they choose.

“What kind of a society are we creating here?” asked civil rights lawyer Harvey Silverglate, who along with the ACLU fears police abuse. “There comes a point where the surveillance is so pervasive and total that it’s a misnomer to call a society free any longer.”

The computerized scanners, known as Automatic License Plate Recognition devices, instantly check for police alerts, warrants, traffic violations and parking tickets, which cops say could be an invaluable tool in thwarting crime.

. . .

“People who aren’t wanted for a crime, all of their information is stored in a database that is shared with another government agency,” Crawford said. “The potential for abuse is very big. We don’t think people who haven’t committed a crime should be tracked by law enforcement.”

Land Grab

George Soros, Feds Seize Control of America’s Flooded Farmland

By Frank Whalen

Amid the chaotic weather systems thus far in 2011, the federal government has twisted and exacerbated a natural catastrophe to victimize
American farming families, while subsequently staging a land grab to further the UN’s Agenda 21 protocols, all at once.

Despite record amounts of snowfall this past winter, the snowpack was measured and melted predictably. Yet the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers claimed to be surprised by themelt-water amounts. As a result, they planned to detonate the Birds Point levee in Missouri to prevent runoff water from devastating the town of Cairo, Ill. Bizarrely, the feds thought it more intelligent to flood 130,000 acres of rural farmland, and thus a necessary part of the food supply, than to affect an urban zone of 2,800 people, one-third of whom already live below the poverty level.

Detonated levees might bring the Ninth Ward of New Orleans to mind, and one might suspect the federal government was attempting to avoid another accusation of racism, classism and inaction. However, commodities broker Ann Barnhardt has revealed another possible scheme at work.

She wrote on her website: “A Missouri farming and ranching contact just got off a conference call wherein he was informed that the federal government is sending out letters to all of the flooded farmers in the Missouri River flood plain notifying them that the Army Corps of Engineers will offer to buy their land.”

The Kansas City Star supports this claim, reporting that 17 Missouri families received a letter from the Army Corps of Engineers “offering to buy private land along the Missouri River for a wildlife conservation project. The letter was dated June 6, when floodwaters were beginning to rise.”

NORTHSIDE 912 MEETING - Tuesday, July 26, 2011 at 7pm

admin's picture

Hi all!

We have great news! The Northside 912 group will begin meeting again Tuesday, July 26 at 7pm at our usual place - the Belle Isle Library on the corner of Belle Isle and NW Expressway.

PLEASE come and give ideas as to how we would like to schedule the meetings, what we would like to do for each meeting and how often we'd like to meet. Carma Neta Morris, Kelly Danner and I sat down last night to try and get the ball rolling. Kelley works full time (and goes to school!), Carma Neta teaches school full time, and I'm still working with ROPE. Consequently, if we're going to actually start meeting again - and parlay those meetings into getting some good local people elected in next year's elections, among other things - we HAVE TO HAVE HELP! Be thinking about what you might be able to do...teach a class on something, book speakers, schedule meeting space and times, provide information for the WhatAmIVotingFor.com website for the upcoming elections, research candidates, go to City Council and/or school board meetings and report back....there are a NUMBER of things you can do to help.

CN, Kelly and I so look forward to SEEING you at the Belle Isle Library July 26th! Put it on your calendar NOW!

God bless!
