I published this article in October of 2002. At the time, it was the most widely read piece I'd written and posted on my site. Its basics still hold up.
What I didn't mention at the time was the corrosive role school-food distributors and their allies on boards of education play in the health of children.
These are the people who operate a corrupt system and mandate the feeding of toxic and nutritionally empty junk to students across the country.
NEW DELHI — Alka Kudesia needs an expensive drug to treat her breast cancer, but refuses to tell her children for fear they will take out loans to buy the medicine and spend the rest of their lives in debt.

The skirmishing over Herceptin and other cancer medicines is part of a new and critical phase in a long-running struggle to make drugs affordable to the world’s poorest people, one that began in earnest more than a decade ago when advocates campaigned successfully to make AIDS medicines accessible to millions of Africans.
“Cancer is the next H.I.V./AIDS issue, and the fight has only begun,” said Shamnad Basheer, a professor of law at West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences in Kolkata.
Global Research News Hour Episode 46. Conversations with Yoichi Shimatsu and Hatrick Penry
We knew the world would not be the same. Few people laughed, few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,

“Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.”

The United States bears a moral responsibility for the murderous state of affairs in Iraq, but contemporary American grand strategy has become a self-referencing mix of arrogance, narcissism, and exceptionalism; so it is not surprising that most Americans have dismissed Iraq their minds (as they are now dismissing Afghanistan). Below is an excellent reminder of the situation in Iraq.
Patrick Cockburn, one of the very best journalists now covering conflicts in the Arab World and Central Asia interviews Muqtada al-Sadr, one of the most influential Shia clerics in Iraq and leader of the Mehdi Army, a powerful Shia faction. Sadr is now a member of the Shia dominated Iraqi government, but he is becoming increasingly alienated from its leader, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. Al-Sadr argues that a toxic mix of (1) sectarianism, (2) governmental incompetence and corruption, and (3) external interference by the U.S. and U.K. and Iran is plunging Iraq into an ever-deepening state of chaos, with no light at the end of the tunnel. (Note: I inserted a few clarifying comments in red.)
In a rare interview at his headquarters in Najaf, he tells Patrick Cockburn of his fears for a nation growing ever more divided on sectarian lines.
The future of Iraq as a united and independent country is endangered by sectarian Shia-Sunni hostility says Muqtada al-Sadr, the Shia religious leader whose Mehdi Army militia fought the US and British armies and who remains a powerful figure in Iraqi politics. He warns of the danger that[1] “the Iraqi people will disintegrate, [2] its government will disintegrate, and [3] it will be easy for external powers to control the country”.
In an interview with The Independent in the holy city of Najaf, 100 miles south-west of Baghdad – the first interview Mr Sadr has given face-to-face with a Western journalist for almost 10 years – he expressed pessimism about the immediate prospects for Iraq, saying: “The near future is dark.”
Bill Gates Eugenics Campaign Turns Its Attention to Children
It will be quite a feat of explanation for historians in the future to explain how the world's richest man could get away with funding a widespread eugenics campaign killing both adults and children. This account of Gates supporting polio vaccine will surely be examined to determine part of the explanation:
“In the depths of cyberspace lurks a press release written by the CDC, confirming that the OPV, or oral polio vaccination, given to millions of children throughout the developing world, is causing them to develop vaccine-induced polio. Instead of banning the vaccination, as one would expect, the CDC has decided in its wisdom that the best way to tackle the problem is to maintain a high rate of vaccination in all countries! Yes, that is correct. The CDC recommends maintaining a high rate of vaccination, vaccinating as many children as possible with a vaccine that causes polio.”
The writer of this extraordinary article lacks awareness of all the proof of Gates eugenics agenda and thereby is much too forgiving of Gates when she says his foundation is ignorant of the fact polio vaccine is causing polio:
“In order for governments to mass vaccinate more efficiently, they are fully backing the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a group that has made it very clear that their aim is to wipe out wild polio from the planet. The Gates Foundation appears to be ignorant of the fact that they are causing tens of thousands of children to suffer from vaccine-induced polio. While a large majority of us look on in sheer horror at the number of children who now suffer life-threatening disabilities caused by the vaccine itself, vaccine-crazed Bill Gates has decided to step up his polio campaign by hiring an array of Bollywood stars such as the notorious Bollywood mega-star Amitabh Bachchan to help him dish out the vaccination.” [Check out the video at the page to see this.]
Because industrial agriculture controls the agencies that are supposed to regulate it, we do precious little of the research that should be taking place regarding the industry's use of chemicals. The result, as usual, is wealth for the few and degraded wellness for the many.
Here is a major reason why we are facing the crisis of superbugs; the other being the grotesque over-use of pharmaceuticals in industrial animal husbandry. As with climate change it is greed of the few pitted against the wellness of the many. The misuse of our own technologies is destroying our world. This problem exists because of thousands upon thousands of little thoughtless decisions. Never, ever, flush drugs down the toilet.
Interview with Moray B. King. Moray has been working as an Electrical and Systems Engineer for over 30 years. During that time, in parallel, he has done extensive independent research into the standard physics literature concerning both the Zero Point Field and Self-Organizing Systems. He has also conducted extensive research into the patents and experiments of inventors who have reported anomalous energy gains over the decades. He is considered one of the leading authorities on the subject of Zero Point Energy, and has written two books on the topic titled: Tapping the Zero Point Energy, and Quest for Zero Point Energy. Most recently Moray gave a presentation titled “Water, Plasmoids, and Zero Point Energy” at this year’s Breakthrough Energy Movement Conference. A detailed outline can be found @ WordPress.
