Avoid These 7 Foods and You're Off To A Healthier New Year

1. Canned Tomatoes

The expert: Fredrick vom Saal, PhD, an endocrinologist at the University of Missouri who studies bisphenol-A

The resin linings of tin cans contain bisphenol-A, a synthetic estrogen that has been linked to ailments ranging from reproductive problems to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Acidity -- a prominent characteristic of tomatoes -- causes BPA to leach into your food.

2. Corn-Fed Beef

The expert: Joel Salatin, co-owner of Polyface Farms and author of books on sustainable farming

Cattle were designed to eat grass, not grains. But farmers today feed their animals corn and soybeans, which fatten up the animals faster for slaughter. A recent comprehensive study found that compared with corn-fed beef, grass-fed beef is higher in beta-carotene, vitamin E, omega-3s, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

3. Microwave Popcorn

The expert: Olga Naidenko, PhD, a senior scientist for the Environmental Working Group

Chemicals, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), in the lining of the bag, are part of a class of compounds that may be linked to infertility in humans. In animal testing, the chemicals cause liver, testicular, and pancreatic cancer. Studies show that microwaving causes the chemicals to vaporize -- and migrate into your popcorn.

4. Nonorganic Potatoes

The expert: Jeffrey Moyer, chair of the National Organic Standards Board

Root vegetables absorb herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides that wind up in soil. In the case of potatoes they're treated with fungicides during the growing season, then sprayed with herbicides to kill off the fibrous vines before harvesting. After they're dug up, the potatoes are treated yet again to prevent them from sprouting.

5. Farmed Salmon

The expert: David Carpenter, MD, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment at the University at Albany

Nature didn't intend for salmon to be crammed into pens and fed soy, poultry litter, and hydrolyzed chicken feathers. As a result, farmed salmon is lower in vitamin D and higher in contaminants, including carcinogens, PCBs, brominated flame retardants, and pesticides such as dioxin and DDT.

6. Milk Produced with Artificial Hormones

The expert: Rick North, project director of the Campaign for Safe Food at the Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility

Milk producers treat their dairy cattle with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH or rBST, as it is also known) to boost milk production. But rBGH also increases udder infections and even pus in the milk. It also leads to higher levels of a hormone called insulin-like growth factor in milk. In people, high levels of IGF-1 may contribute to breast, prostate, and colon cancers.

7. Conventional Apples

The expert: Mark Kastel, codirector of the Cornucopia Institute

If fall fruits held a "most doused in pesticides contest," apples would win. And increasing numbers of studies are starting to link a higher body burden of pesticides with Parkinson's disease.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

This is one of the best “foods to avoid” lists I’ve seen come out of the mainstream media. It is very rare when this happens, but I agree with every food on this list.

The reality is that most food nowadays is far from pure. Pesticide residues have been detected in 50 percent to 95 percent of all commercially grown U.S. foods, and that is only one type of toxin.

Babies are actually born toxic due to the toxic load of their mothers, some of which comes from dietary contaminants and food additives. One study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found that blood samples from newborns contained an average of 287 toxins, including mercury, fire retardants, pesticides, and Teflon chemicals!

The list above is a great starting point to cleaning up your diet, but focusing on organically grown, biodynamic whole foods is really the key to success here.

I want to expand on some of the toxic foods mentioned above, as well as add a few more to the list, so you can significantly reduce your exposure to toxins in the foods you eat.

Why Fresh is Better Than Canned

Many leading brands of canned foods contain BPA -- a toxic chemical linked to reproductive abnormalities, neurological effects, heightened risk of breast and prostate cancers, diabetes, heart disease and other serious health problems.

According to Consumer Reports’ testing, just a couple of servings of canned food can exceed the safety limits for daily BPA exposure for children.

The current US federal guidelines put the daily upper limit of “safe” exposure at 50 micrograms of BPA per kilogram of body weight. You should know, however, that even low-level exposure to BPA can be hazardous to your health, and Consumer Reports’ testing found that eating popular canned foods may expose you to excessive amounts of BPA:

• Del Monte Fresh Cut Green Beans had BPA levels ranging from 35.9 ppb to as much as 191 ppb
• Progresso Vegetable Soup had BPA levels ranging from 67 to 134 ppb
• Campbell’s Condensed Chicken Noodle Soup had BPA levels ranging from 54.5 to 102 ppb

So, ideally avoid canned foods entirely and stick to fresh fruits and vegetables, or switch over to brands that use glass containers instead.

Grass-Fed is the Healthy Choice for Beef

Grass-fed beef is vastly superior to grain-fed beef, and in fact it’s the clear beef of choice you should be eating. It is far more important to choose grass-fed than to choose organic, as most grass-fed beef are also organic

Not only is it raised in a more sustainable way for the environment and a more humane way for the animal, but it’s the superior choice for your health.

Grass-fed beef, for instance, is lower in fat than regular beef and, more importantly, contains higher amounts of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a fatty acid. Grass-fed animals have from three to five times more CLA than grain-fed animals.

CLA has been making headlines for its extreme health benefits, which include:

• Fighting cancer and diabetes
• Helping you lose weight
• Increasing your metabolic rate, a positive benefit for promoting normal thyroid function
• Helping you maintain normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels
• Enhancing your immune system

Keep in mind that grass-fed meat is almost always preferable to certified organic meat also because most organic beef is fed organic corn, which is what causes the myriad of health problems associated with eating beef. If you can find organic, grass-fed meat, that would be ideal.

What You Need to Know About Milk

I strongly recommend you avoid milk that has the added growth hormone rBGH.

Samuel Epstein, MD, a scientist at the University of Illinois School of Public Health, is one of the top experts on cancer prevention, and he has been speaking out against rBGH in milk, the so-called “crack for cows,” for years.

For starters, Dr. Epstein points out that rBGH milk is “supercharged with high levels of a natural growth factor (IGF-1), excess levels of which have been incriminated as major causes of breast, colon, and prostate cancers.”

But that’s not all.

"This milk is qualitatively and quantitatively different from natural milk," states Dr. Epstein. "In addition to the issue of increased IGF-1 levels, these differences include:

• Contamination of milk by the GM hormone rBGH
• Contamination by pus and antibiotics resulting from the high incidence of mastitis in rBGH-injected cows
• Contamination with illegal antibiotics and drugs used to treat mastitis and other rBGH-induced disease
• Increased concentration of the thyroid hormone enzyme thyroxin-5'-monodeiodinase
• Increased concentration of long-chain and decreased concentration of short-chain fatty acids
• A reduction in levels of the milk protein casein."

You very well may be drinking rBGH milk and not know it, as no labels are required. This is despite the fact that nearly every American wants it labeled, but the government, as usual, bowed to industry lobbyists and, amazingly, does not require this on the label.

However, as increasing numbers of people and dairies choose to avoid rBGH, you can find labels that say “rBGH-free” or a similar variation. Organic milk is also rBGH-free.

This is certainly preferable to milk that contains this dangerous hormone … but I still don’t recommend drinking any milk, organic or otherwise, that is pasteurized.

You can avoid both the risks of rBGH and pasteurization by only drinking raw milk that comes from a small farmer you know and trust. This is the only way to drink milk if you’re interested in protecting your health.

The Most Important Foods to Buy Organic

Most fruits and vegetables contain unacceptable and unsafe levels of pesticides, so it’s a wise choice to buy organic produce as often as you can.

However, if you need to pick and choose which foods to buy organic, the most important foods to buy organic are animal products -- not produce. This is because animal foods, which are raised on pesticide-laced feed, tend to have higher concentrations of pesticides.

Non-organic meats have up to five times more pesticides than non-organic vegetables.

Non-organic butter can have up to 20 times as many pesticides as non-organic vegetables.

So when prioritizing your purchases, look for organic meats, eggs and dairy products before anything else.

There is one exception to this rule, and that is you may be better off choosing fresh local foods over organic foods. Often, locally grown foods are raised according to organic standards at a more affordable price.

Is Farmed Salmon the Only Seafood to Avoid?

Farmed salmon is among the worst seafood choices out there, as numerous studies show the salmon contain toxins and cancer-causing pollutants. Farmed salmon typically have at least 10 times more cancer-causing persistent organic pollutants than their wild counterparts.

That said, I do not agree that farmed salmon is the only fish you need to stay away from.

A recent study from the U.S. Geological Survey detected mercury in every fish sampled from nearly 300 U.S. streams. Among them, 27 percent contained mercury at levels that equaled or exceeded the U.S. EPA’s criterion for the protection of human health, and more than two-thirds exceeded mercury safety levels for fish-eating mammals like mink and otters.

Therefore, I do not recommend eating any fish -- whether farm-raised or from an ocean, lake, river or stream -- unless you have lab results in your hand that can attest to its purity.

There are still some safe areas out there, such as in certain pristine waters in Alaska, but it will take some searching on your end to seek them out. The ONLY safe fish I have discovered so far is Vital Choice wild red salmon, which remains the only source of fish I’ll eat.

Eating smaller fish, like anchovies and sardines, is also an option, as their small size makes them far less likely to be contaminated.

An important point to remember if you’re not eating fish is that your body still has a requirement for omega-3 fats. Fortunately, you can easily meet your omega-3 needs by taking a high-quality krill oil supplement, instead of risking your health by eating contaminated fish.

Another Food to Avoid: Unfermented Soy

This one did not make the above list, but it’s one I would definitely add.

Any soy that is unfermented -- soy milk, tofu, soybean oil, soy burgers, and all the other processed soy products out there all belong to this category -- is not a health food and in fact is not a food I would advise eating at all. This is true whether it is “organic” or not.

Soy infant formula is also on this list and is one of the absolute worst foods you can give your baby.

Unfermented soy products have been linked to everything from reproductive disorders and infertility to cancer and heart disease.

Further, unfermented soy contains isoflavones that are clearly associated with reduced thyroid function. Eating unfermented soy products is likely the single largest cause of hypothyroidism in women.

Another major problem with unfermented soy is that it contains natural toxins known as “antinutrients.” This includes a large quantity of inhibitors that deter your enzymes needed for protein digestion.

While a small amount of these antinutrients would likely not be a problem, the amount of soy that many Americans are now eating (and drinking in the form of soy milk) is quite significant.

The result of consuming too many of soy’s antinutrients is extensive gastric distress and chronic deficiencies in amino acid uptake, which can result in pancreatic impairment and cancer.

For more details on soy foods, including the fermented varieties that can actually be healthy, please read Why This Type of Soy is Better.

Guidelines for Healthy Food

Whatever food you’re looking to eat, whether imported organic or locally grown, from either your local supermarket or a farmer’s market, here are the signs of a high-quality, healthy food:

1. It’s grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers (organic foods fit this description, but so do some non-organic foods)
2. It’s not genetically modified
3. It contains no added growth hormones, antibiotics, or other drugs
4. It does not contain artificial anything, nor any preservatives
5. It is fresh (if you have to choose between wilted organic produce or fresh conventional produce, the latter may be the better option)
6. It did not come from a factory farm
7. It is grown with the laws of nature in mind (meaning animals are fed their native diets, not a mix of grains and animal byproducts, and have free-range access to the outdoors)
8. It is grown in a sustainable way (using minimal amounts of water, protecting the soil from burnout, and turning animal wastes into natural fertilizers instead of environmental pollutants)

If the food meets these criteria, it is likely a good choice. Most often, the best place to find these foods is from a sustainable agricultural group in your area. You can also review my free nutrition plan to get started on a healthy eating program today.

Blessed Song I give to you, to know the Sacred Blue. The home that we long to know true, the loving Blue (heart knowing relatives). Where distance is just a call, when you need all that's water fall (tears) and spring will light up inside your heart to find the blue, red illumination's call (finding your spirit)...aho, may your spirit fly!

Beloved Relatives,
Many children are looking into heaven, and this is the beginning and not the only or few, but all of them.  This child has a place to express and capture her imagination, but to be exploited, like she is because of thinking she is better than others, this is the true problem.

When the colors of children are expressed, and even Shining Dove Who Leaks the Tear shares with us the many new colors we don't see yet, however, we have always had these colors of the rainbow, but the recognition has only begun.

The rainbow has always been here, but the recognition of it's attributes are being recognized in a new way.  All of our children need, not only the few.  All of our family needs food, not only a few.  All of our family needs love not only the few.  All of our family needs opportunities, not only the few. When will we stop deciding who is better than others, rather than a sharing of stories.

You know, we are all a perspective or a point of view, except for the Crystal People, because our point of view is all, the Oneness, but still we have many colors too, with us all having four sacred directions.  This girl sees from her point of view, her sacred four directions.  And her mother and father gives her the opportunity to share her talents with others.  But so many don't have this place to be safe.  So many think their kids are better or more talented than other kids. 

We are oneness, that this means we are God.  G_ah_d, means the utterance of heaven's transmission over rolling hills, the law of love. We are all part of this, expression, all of us and all of us belong to the Rainbow Clan.

This girl Akiane is violet, aqua, yellow, gray, which means she has the voice of God, the strength to lead us towards our dreams, as she carries the vision of dreams as the yellow person.  However her imagination brings her to think that God is male, and not female, and this is picked up from her family and society during the second phase of evolution that ends 2013. We all have visions of God, when we look at others.

Yet, we don't realize, this yet, that we are all special and have a place, which is written in our "Book of LIfe", each of us are Rainbow Children.  The world recognizes Indigo and Crystal children, but what about the many colors of the Rainbow. And we think we have only come to play, but now we are beginning to know our souls, but how many will learn to walk sacred?  How many will be safe?  How many will make it into the next phase of evolution. 

Today, I will be finishing the second part of White Willows Vision, which shares with us, the need and imperativeness, to transform into sacredness.  We need share with the world, it's time to be sacred.  We used money to offer us a way to survive, but now money will not be the tool of advantage, but BLESSEDNESS, is the only TOOL of survival.

I remind you of what Indigo and Crystal mean, and that we are all part of the oneness of the Rainbow clan, with all of us having talents to talk and be with God.  Just open your eyes and see, sea, the many who are standing right in front of your faces.

Indigo is the perfect six sided crystalline structure of the soul body, multi-colored each of us have. We can all fly, when we dream. The Indigo person is often a prophet and great teacher who lives with visions and conflict. Most of us do not live our lives like this. Indigo represents our Soul body. An Indigo Person is a Great Warrior and brings to us the inner reflection towards truth! They inspire you to enter your Vision Quest. Indigo(perfect soul body)

Crystal is the perfect six sided crystalline structure of the Physical Body,a powerful and loving being who gifts,the actions of your dream. The Crystal person is reader of the book of life, the sacred four directions, who speaks directly with God and interprets the absolute truth. Crystal represents our Physical body. Most of us do no live our lives like this. Crystal represents our Physical body. A Crystal Person is a Great Warrior and brings peace through the lesson. They inspire you to become your dream of love and peace, what we often call happiness! Crystal(perfect physical body)

The Rainbow Clan are the Sacred Multi-Colored Auras of the Blue in You and Me, our Relation or family. Each of us carry Four Sacred Directions. The Circle of Colors, the Rainbow reflects off the Ocean Blue. Born from these lights We are Perfect Children Within. Each of us carry a Dream seeking Love.

We are the Reflection of our Blue oceans and sky.Water provide us with all that life offers in Unity! Spiritual Warriors are born to be Perfect Blessings

Just today, I saw a man with no shoes and he has a cane with socks on in the rain.  How can we live like this, when our family out there is without?  Holiness David and I, white buffalo calf woman are missionaries on the streets of San Francisco bay area, California, USA, and we can't even get churches to help the homeless, because they care only for their own needs and not the needs of others.  We are helping everyone, and only a few have sent us anything to assist us.  Because the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many.  This is not love, this is separation.  Our heart of the world is the Lakota, not ordained by me or you, but by the ONENESS of God.  The heart of this world, MOTHER EARTH is LAKOTA and they have no food, no blankets, and no heat in the dead of winter. And even some of our own members don't have food in their pantries, even with children.  How can we care for so much and care for so little?  Doing and saying are not united, be blessed instead.  Be Wakan Tankan (sacredness) or Walking and Talking as the Rising Sun (holy and devoted), the birth of love for all.  The Indigo People say, that we are going to shift, from the north pole to the south pole.  That is traumatic.  Get prepared, practice blessings every day, because when the Red Star comes in the sky, the Natives say, it will be too late for survival....

The Wisdom In Hot Chocolate

A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were discussing their lives at a class reunion.  They decide to go visit their old university professor, now retired, who was always an inspiration to them.

During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work, lives and relationships.

Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and assortment of cups.  Some cups were porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite.  He invited each to help themselves to the hot chocolate.

When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor shared his thoughts.

"Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones."

"While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress."

"The cup that you are drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate.  In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink."

"What each of you really wanted was hot chocolate.  You did not want the cup...but you consciously went for the best cups."

"And soon, you bagna to eye one another's cups."

"Now friends, please consider this...Life is the hot chocolate ... your job, money, and position in society are the cups."

"They are just tools to hold and contain life."

"The cup you have does not define, nor does it change, the quality of life you are living."

"Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate God has provided us."

Always remeber this.......... God brews the hot chocolate, He does not choose the cup.

The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have!!

Live simply...
Love generously...
Care deeply...
Speak kindly...

Leave the rest to God.

~ and remember ~
The richest person is no the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.

Enjoy your hot chocolate!!

Let there be wisdom.  Let there be song.  Let there be coming home, when all does go wrong.  And Grandmother will hold you and rock you to sleep, where you can dream of Angels, and you will be safe.  Now it's a place, a dreamland, the well of love.  We need to look further inside our hearts.  And when we find the vision, to bring us all home, then we can be Brothers, who long for should.  There the Rainbows, will land on the ground, where there will be plenty and there will be should, the most we ever imagined, the most God gifts to us, when abundance is for all the Rainbow Children, who love like they should.

Hate in Religion and What does the Qur'an say about terrorism?

Relatives,

Hate is a common thread with Religion all over the world! This is why ministers, pastors, clergy, rabbis and other words used as Servants to the Church are not recognized, as leaders of LOVE.

We need understand that we all have an understanding of what LOVE is.  To defend is not the same as attack upon another, however, this has been twisted to serve those who have not forgiven. Even the word defend has been given a perspective in the fact that we are guilty until proven innocent.  We must understand TRUTH and how it is brought from heaven to earth.  LOVE is a Servant to others, even willing to die, to serve and practice LOVE.  Defending is not Law of LOVE.  Validating is the LAW of LOVE.

The Koran (Quaran) has been written by men serving the Christal person, Mohammad, who is ordained from heaven to bring the laws to earth.  Yet Mohammad could not read or write and could not take this to the people in any form other than oral tradition.  And as you know, if you say one word at the beginning of a line of people, then at the end, the entire word or phrase is not held in context and misinterpreted.  This is because each of us, has a different perspective or rainbow colors of the same oneness.  It's like looking at the world from a different point of view, like watching someone cross the road.  Some would recognize the road.  Some would recognize the person.  Some would recognize the surrounding.  And the truth is usually when all are put together, that truth prevails.  This also stands true to Religion.

In Judaism, it is the Torah or Pentateuch (called by Christians), is the only book written by a Christal person, Moses, who has brought the laws of God unto earth.  However, there are many oral traditions, that have been changed by leaders of the community, which are now considered law, and the Torah is often considered secondary to the words of other texts.  When we decide to show a perspective, or STORY, by someone, then we are seeing the VIEWPOINT of one person.  This is often NOT the TRUTH. For it is only a Christal person, who can bring TRUTH to the world, because they consist of the Oneness point of view, where TRUTH lies and LAWS of God can be brought to earth.

In Christianity, most of the books of the Bible was written by those who gave a perspective.  Yet many consider this book to speak truth.  However, it is only the first five books, which were actually written by a Christal person, MOSES, that are TRUE LAW. However, in translation, even these five books have been changed to fit the perspective of another or someone, and not necessarily TRUTH by a CHRISTAL person.

Below is a story that supports Hatred, by the context of defending and upstanding to laws of God or ONENESS, which have been convoluted, to the perspective of part of the ONENESS and therefore not truth.  This is a time of Prophecy and many who feel the need to transgress and protect their religion have gone to serve HATRED, instead of LOVE and FORGIVENESS.  We need realize that Heaven is coming home now, and true love is waiting within our hearts, and acted in sacred union without.

Love does not punish, but validate another voice.  However, if a voice is harming another, we need to validate their hurt and pain, then we need speak of LOVE, to the point of fighting for LOVE (this means we have forgiven our transgressor), and not for Fighting for HATRED. As we learn to have the voice of ONENESS, we can learn to be SACRED in our hearts (soul) and in our bodies (flesh), but realizing that TRUTH can only come from a Christal (crystal) person.  Because only the Christal person can read the Book of Life within each of us.

But how do we know what truth is?  If one is blessed, meaning a person who is willing to offer blessings and receive blessings, then one is usually able to know true love.  Love means that we are able to suffer for another, like we do for our children.  Suffering for love, is what those of the Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy are able to distinguish as TRUE LOVE.  When we forgive others and live a sacred way of life each and every single day of our lives, we walk the Red Road, or LAW of LOVE. Many in the world do not walk this path, until we are able to forgive others who have committed crimes against them.  This is LOVE. Truth is one who is able to forgive others transgressions, without retaliation.  

To defend land is not the same as conquering land, but we have twisted this law to serve our own needs to be in control.  WE must remember that the ONENESS of God is in control and every day, we must accept all as divine, to receive and learn from a world which seems upside down.  What is wrong is often right.  And what is right, is often considered wrong in a world of a time of Prophecy.  This was written by many long ago which is now being lived and acted out in our world of Earth.  

Below is a story of a Warrior who is commemorated for being a martyr, after he committed a hate crime.  This is how a story of Islam has transgressed from TRUTH to FALLACY. True love gives up a life, to protect others from harm, not to kill others who are innocent of committing no crime at all. 

We are moving from the second phase of evolution where only light of earth or flesh of our bodies have been recognized to the third phase of evolution where heaven, the dark body of our souls and earth, the light body of our flesh are folding into ONE being, our selves.  This unity, called the Blue and Red Road which cross bring us to a place of unity within, called being born again in our Spiritual ONENESS.  This is part of our evolution.  We are learning to be unified with heaven and earth, to bring us into a new paradigm or shift of our realities, of what LOVE really is.  When we become servants to others, then we become Rainbow Warriors of Prophecy, to rise to the inner ONENESS, called TRUE LOVE.  However, what still exists is the fact that we each have a perspective.  And it is very important for all of us to share our stories with one another, rather than hiding our knowing.  But it is only the Christal person who can really know TRUTH, as they, each and every one of them, know ONENESS, and crowned from heaven to bring these laws to earth. In the third phase of evolution called the Dawning, LAW of LOVE is the unification of recognizing HEAVEN upon EARTH.

Religion was to teach us and prepare us to recognize each others perspective and to understand, that we all need each other, to know TRUTH.  Peace is the result of this wisdom, which our enlightened children are teaching us right now, with very profound skills.  But our interpretation of these skills are not always truth.  Truth comes when we seek within prayer, where ONENESS is known in our Souls.  Each of us, belong to each other, including the religion of others.  Together, Religion around the entire world, brings GOD or ONENESS, and when we stop deciding one is better than the other, we can start to learn another's story or perspective. 

Let us all pray for each other and in a time of prophecy, live sacred in our thoughts and deeds.  To say, that we are fighting only for LOVE, and not for Hatred.  Hatred is against the law of Earth and Heaven, yet we do not stand upright to these knowings.  Let a new dawning come forth, when LAW of Heaven is brought to earth, when the folding of darkness and lightness unify as ONE.  Gift knowledge to each other and stand up for what is right, to know ONENESS and the unification of LOVE between our Souls and our Flesh.

Today I went to the Harwin Central Mall to pick up some Crystals.. The very first store that you come to when you walk from the lobby of the building into the shopping area had this sign posted on their door.. The shop is run by Muslims. I couldn't stay in the building, it made me so sick.  Feel free to share this with others.

Aren't there some verses of the Qur'an that condone "killing the infidel"?

Question: Aren't there some verses of the Qur'an that condone "killing the infidel"?

Answer: The Qur'an commands Muslims to stick up for themselves in a defensive battle -- i.e. if an enemy army attacks, then Muslims are to fight against that army until they stop their aggression. All of the verses that speak about fighting/war in the Qur'an are in this context.

There are some specific verses that are very often "snipped" out of context, either by critics of Islam discussing "jihadism," or by misguided Muslims themselves who wish to justify their aggressive tactics.

"Slay Them" - If They Attack You First

For example, one verse (in its snipped version) reads: "slay them wherever you catch them" (Qur'an 2:191). But who is this referring to? Who are "they" that this verse discusses? The preceding and following verses give the correct context:

"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loves not transgressors. And slay them wherever you catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter... But if they cease, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful... If they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression" (2:190-193).

It is clear from the context that these verses are discussing a defensive war, when a Muslim community is attacked without reason, oppressed and prevented from practicing their faith. In these circumstances, permission is given to fight back -- but even then Muslims are instructed not to transgress limits, and to cease fighting as soon as the attacker gives up. Even in these circumstances, Muslim are only to fight directly against those who are attacking them, not innocent bystanders or non-combatants.

"Fight the Pagans" - If They Break Treaties

A similar verse can be found in chapter 9, verse 5 -- which in its snipped, out of context version could read: "fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war)." Again, the preceding and following verses give the context.

This verse was revealed during a historical period when the small Muslim community had entered into treaties with neighboring tribes (Jewish, Christian, and pagan). Several of the pagan tribes had violated the terms of their treaty, secretly aiding an enemy attack against the Muslim community. The verse directly before this one instructs the Muslims to continue to honor treaties with anyone who has not since betrayed them, because fulfilling agreements is considered a righteous action. Then the verse continues, that those who have violated the terms of the treaty have declared war, so fight them... (as quoted above).

Directly after this permission to fight, the same verse continues, "but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them... for God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful." The subsequent verses instruct the Muslims to grant asylum to any member of the pagan tribe/army who asks for it, and again reminds that "as long as these stand true to you, stand ye true to them: for God loves the righteous."

Conclusion

Any verse that is quoted out of context misses the whole point of the message of the Qur'an. Nowhere in the Qur'an can be found support for indiscriminate slaughter, the killing of non-combatants, or murder of innocent persons in 'payback' for another people's alleged crimes.

The Islamic teachings on this subject can be summed up in the following verses (Qur'an 60:7-8):
"It may be that God will grant love (and friendship) between you and those whom ye (now) hold as enemies. For God has power (over all things), and God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

God does not forbid you, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for God loves those who are just."

Question: What does the Qur'an say about terrorism?

Muslims claim that their faith promotes justice, peace, and freedom. Critics of the faith (and some Muslims themselves) cite verses from the Qur'an that seem to promote violent, armed warfare. How can these different images be reconciled?

Answer: The entire Qur'an, taken as a complete text, gives a message of hope, faith, and peace to a faith community of one billion people. The overwhelming message is that peace is to be found through faith in God, and justice among fellow human beings.

At the time the Qur'an was revealed (7th century A.D.), there was no United Nations or Amnesty International to keep the peace or expose injustice. Inter-tribal violence and vengeance was commonplace. As a matter of survival, one must have been willing to defend against aggression from all sides. Nevertheless, the Qur'an repeatedly urges forgiveness and restraint, and warns believers not to "transgress" or become "oppressors."

Some examples:
If anyone slays a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew all people. And if anyone saves a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all people. Qur'an 5:32

Invite all to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching. And argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious... And if you punish, let your punishment be proportional to the wrong that has been done to you. But if you show patience, that is indeed the best course. Be patient, for your patience is from God. And do not grieve over them, or distress yourself because of their plots. For God is with those who restrain themselves, and those who do good. Qur'an 16:125-128

Oh you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be against rich or poor, for God can best protect both. Follow not the cravings of your hearts, lest you swerve, and if you distort justice or decline to do justice, verily God is well acquainted with all that you do. Qur'an 4:135

The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree), but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from God, for God loves not those who do wrong. But indeed, if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong done to them, against such there is no cause of blame. The blame is only against those who oppress men with wrongdoing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land,
defying right and justice. For such there will be a penalty grievous (in the Hereafter). But indeed, if any show patience and forgive, that would truly be an affair of great resolution. Qur'an 42:40-43

Goodness and evil are not equal. Repel evil with what is better. Then that person with whom there was hatred,
may become your intimate friend! And no one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint, none but people of the greatest good fortune. Qur'an 41:34-35

Does the Quran really command killing unbelievers?

Date: May 21, 2005 | 12 Rabi al-Akhir 1426 Hijriah

Blog: veiled4allah

Subjects: islam, fiqh, condemn, terrorism

Hesham Hassaballa looks at the question: are Muslims really supposed to "kill all the unbelievers"?

Time and again, over and over and over again, I either read or hear from people that Islam calls for the murder of "infidels," or all those who are not Muslim. This perception is so pervasive, so entrenched, and I really do not know from where it comes. Yes, there are Muslims who do believe this: 19 of them crashed three planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon, killing nearly 3,000 of my innocent American brothers and sisters. But, I don't know from where they got this idea. "It is the Qur'an, you idiot!!!" I am quite sure some of you just screamed that to your computer screen. Really? Where? I do not know of one verse which directs the believers to kill all "infidels." Yet, I am constantly reminded of the contrary, such as this verse:

"Now when you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks until you overcome them fully..." (47:4).

Or this one:

"O you who have attained to faith! Fight against those unbelievers who are near you and let them find you adamant, and know that God is with those who are conscious of Him" (9:123).

Or this one:

"O Prophet! Strive hard (lit., make "jihad") against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be adamant with them... " (66:73).

Yet, perhaps the "poster child" of all the verses in the Qur'an which are cited as evidence that Islam calls for the murder of infidels is this one, the so-called "Verse of the Sword":

"Slay the pagans wherever you may come upon them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and lie in wait for them at every conceivable place..." (9:5).

Case closed? Wrong. These verses have a context, and when understood in their proper context, it will become quite clear that the verses cited above are not a carte blanche for Muslims to kill all non-Muslims...

...In the Qur'an, the principle of fighting is purely self-defensive. According to all available Traditions, the earliest verses revealed with regards to fighting are these:

"Permission [to fight] is given to those against whom war is being wrongfully waged and, verily, God has indeed the power to succour them; those who have been driven from their homelands against all right for no other reason than their saying, 'Our sustainer is God!'" (22:39-40).

Along with this verse is 2:190, which says:

"And fight in God's cause against those who wage war against you..."

Thus, it is quite clear that fighting is to be done in self-defense. Now, anyone can commit acts of terror and aggression and say, "it's in self-defense." In fact, that is precisely what Al Qaeda is doing: they claim by killing 3,000 people in New York City and Washington, D.C., they are "defending" the Muslim nation against "Zionist and Crusader" aggression against the Muslims. What sheer rubbish.

The Qur'an clearly states, in the remainder of 2:190 it says:

"...but do not commit aggression, for verily, God does not love aggressors."

"Committing aggression" includes killing innocent civilians in Tel Aviv, Beslan, New York, Baghdad, or wherever. Furthermore, when the enemy ceases its hostility, fighting must cease:

"...but if they desist, then all hostility shall cease, save against those who [willfully] do wrong" (2:193).

Another verse repeats this insistence that hostility must cease when the enemy stops its aggression against you:

"But if they [the enemy] incline to peace, incline thou to it as well, and place thy trust in God: verily, He alone is all-hearing, all-knowing! And should they seek but to deceive thee [by their show of peace] - behold, God is enough for thee! He it is who has strengthened thee with His succour, and by giving thee believing followers" (8:61-62).

Thus, even if the enemy is feigning a peaceful posture, the Muslims are still commanded to cease hostility and "place their trust in God." Thus, it is quite clear that fighting is in self-defense, and aggression is not allowed. Now, Muslims have waged wars of aggression in the past, for sure, and they even called them "jihad against the infidels" in order to justify their desire for territorial expansion. In fact, one of the most pertinent examples of this was the Ummayad Dynasty, which enacted a policy of "jihad" as perpetual warfare. But, such a policy is not Islamically correct, and as the collapse of the Ummayad Dynasty showed, not sustainable.

See also Some Quranic Verses on Jihad.

Update: Hassaballa has a continuation of this that analyzes one of the most controversial verses in the Quran. After completing his analysis, he concludes:

Are there Muslims, however, who believe that non-Muslims are "worse than trash"? Are there Muslims who cite verse 9:5 and others similar to it as justification of their acts of murder and terror? Are there Muslims who think killing innocent Westerners is "self-defense" and therefore sanctioned by Islam? Yes, yes, and yes. Does that mean that what they do is Islamic? NO! NO! NO! NO! These Muslims defame Islam, defy both the letter and spirit of its law, and are an ugly aberration of the true way of the faith. Their sins - and horrific sins they are - can never be confused for the doctrines of Islam. Islam does not call for the murder of "infidels." Now, I am frequently confronted by people who tell me, "But, Imam so-and-so says all non-Muslims are to be killed..." or "Shaykh such-and-such says that you must hate all non-Muslims..." or "Maulana whatchamacallhim said that jihad is 'holy war' against the infidel..." Frankly, I could care less about what Imam so-and-so, or Shaykh such-and-such, or Maulana whatchamacallhim says. Their words are meaningless to me. I know what God says: I am not supposed to "kill all the infidels." It just can not be any clearer than that.

Amen, brother.

Hawkwind Going Places Speaks of the Flow of Knowing Inside the Heart!

Where does the flow of knowing go?  Where does my heart go into that flow?  I want you to be, the heart of divinity if you could only know which way to go?  I have all the love inside of me, don't you want to know divinity?  I have to be the where and the free, and you could go inside this door to see.

There is so much love inside of me, but you don't want to know which door to see, and I have to take you in my arms this day so we can open the heart to say.  Wake up to the dawning, it's your turn to key, the way of loving eternally  and I am open to all for you to see, if you could only be  apart of me.

I don't care what you did today,  I don't care what you think I may say, all I care about is your precious heart, for I am here to be loving and devout.  We are one place and it's call a earth, the place we long, the palace of this girth and I know it's willing to be your home, all you have to do is kiss the earth.

Down in the valleys where the green grass flow, I am here waiting for all to know, the place of creation is part of me, just hold my hand and walk through divinity.  We can be partners in this sacred walk, all you have to do is be part of smart (sting) and we can know the way to eternity, if we share our stories and make it part of me.

There is a longing inside of you, don't you want love to walk inside of this view?  I know you want it , but you don't know how, so I will show you, how to love it all.  We can be partners in pure loving bliss, if you decide not to miss, the sacred unity of loving doors, the place we love God the place we adore.

Don't you see, the willing of me?  Don't you sea, the heart that longs in thee?  And I know your heartbeat, because I am here, you walk upon my heart today, so I will know more.  And you could open the doors to view, the way of loving all the sacred views, if you could only open the window to view, that God is here inside your heart too!

let us be a journey, let us be home, let us be the mountains, where sun is shining home. Let us be a river that flows through you and we could be the mighty open ocean's view.  All you have to, is come with me, over to the shining shores of liberty.  I want you to know, that God is part of me, the place we start, the place we hold our hearts.

Just step, step, step into the dark.  Step step, step into the dark, and that is the place where gardens do grow, the place where your heart knows, that love does grow!

Ezekiel 11, the heart of the devoted

 ¹Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
 ²Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
 ³Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.
 ⁴Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
 ⁵And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
 ⁶Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
 ⁷Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
 ⁸Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD.
 ⁹And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
 ¹⁰Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
 ¹¹This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:
 ¹²And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.
 ¹³And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
 ¹⁴Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
 ¹⁵Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession.
 ¹⁶Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
 ¹⁷Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
 ¹⁸And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
 ¹⁹And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
 ²⁰That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
 ²¹But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
 ²²Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
 ²³And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
 ²⁴Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
 ²⁵Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me.

Why Are Monsanto Insiders Now Appointed to Protect Your Food Safety?

date Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 6:28 AM subject Fw: Govt. Mandated Destruction of Our Health?

Hi Hawkwind Going Places,

 

Here is an article from Dr. Mercola. Although, I am on his mailing list, I don't usually send out his articles, but he must have a new editor, as this is not his usual writing style, and this is a good overview article.

 

I think it is a good overview for us, and an eye-opener for everybody else.

 

Dr. Mercola October 10, 2009 writes:


As I write this I am in Washington DC for the International Vaccine Conference and I just did a 12 hour amazing tour of the Capitol that I will describe later, along with pictures that I will post on Facebook. So politics and patriotism is fresh in my mind.

When President Obama took office, many Americans welcomed what was supposed to be an era of much needed change not only for the economy but also for the food industry and U.S. health care system.
Time magazine put it quite well when they described current farm policy as "a welfare program for the megafarms that use the most fuel, water and pesticides; emit the most greenhouse gases; grow the most fattening crops; hire the most illegals; and depopulate rural America."


And as has been recently disclosed by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), between 2003 and 2006, millionaire farmers received $49 million in crop subsidies, even though they earned more than the $2.5 million cutoff for such subsidies. In a speech given at the end of 2008, President Obama stated that this was a prime example of the kind of waste he intends to end when he takes office.
Meanwhile, American medical care is the most expensive in the world.[1] The United States spends more than twice as much on each person for health care as most other industrialized countries. And yet it has fallen to last place among those countries in preventing avoidable deaths through use of timely and effective medical care.

That the system is fatally flawed and in need of a radical overhaul is self-evident.
In fact, according to a 2008 report published in the New England Journal of Medicine[2], 90 percent of Americans believe our medical system should be “completely rebuilt” or that “fundamental changes” are required.

And many are looking toward the Obama Administration to carry out these fundamental changes -- changes that appear, on the surface at least, to be in the works.


But while health care reform is finally on the table, and an organic farm has, for the first time, been planted on the White House lawn, there are an unsettling number of foxes being appointed to guard the U.S. health care and food industry hen houses … foxes that have entirely too many connections to Monsanto, the chemical manufacturer turned agricultural giant that is slowly gaining control over the world’s population, one seed at a time.


The New Secretary of Agriculture is a Fan of Factory Farms, GM Crops and More
Former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack is now the Secretary of Agriculture, an appointment that took place despite massive public outcry. What was needed for an effective Secretary of Agriculture was someone who would develop and implement a plan that promotes family-scale farming and a safe and nutritious food system with a sustainable and organic vision.
What we got was yet another politician who’s already made room in his bed for the industry lobby. As the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) points out:[3]

• Vilsack has been a strong supporter of genetically engineered crops, including bio-pharmaceutical corn
• The biggest biotechnology industry group, the Biotechnology Industry Organization, named Vilsack Governor of the Year. He was also the founder and former chair of the Governor’s Biotechnology Partnership.
• When Vilsack created the Iowa Values Fund, his first poster child of economic development potential was Trans Ova and their pursuit of cloning dairy cows.
• The undemocratic and highly unpopular 2005 seed pre-emption bill was Vilsack’s brainchild. The law strips local government’s right to regulated genetically engineered seed (including where GE can be grown, maintaining GE-free buffers or banning pharma corn locally)
• Vilsack is an ardent supporter of corn and soy-based biofuels, which use as much or more fossil fuel energy to produce them as they generate, while driving up world food prices and literally starving the poor.
• Overall, Vilsack’s record is one of aiding and abetting Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) or factory farms and promoting animal cloning.

You may also be interested to know that Vilsack is widely regarded as a shill for biotech giants like Monsanto (he even reportedly often travels in Monsanto’s jet)![4]


The New Senior Advisor for the FDA is a Former Monsanto VP!
Michael Taylor, a former vice president of public policy and chief lobbyist at Monsanto Company, is the new senior advisor for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Who is Michael Taylor? He is the person who “oversaw the creation of GMO policy,” according to Jeffrey Smith, the leading spokesperson on the dangers of GM foods. Smith continues:
“If GMOs are indeed responsible for massive sickness and death, then the individual who oversaw the FDA policy that facilitated their introduction holds a uniquely infamous role in human history. That person is Michael Taylor. He had been Monsanto's attorney before becoming policy chief at the FDA. Soon after, he became Monsanto's vice president and chief lobbyist.”[5]

The FDA policy being referred to is the 1992 GMO policy, which stated:

"The agency is not aware of any information showing that foods derived by these new methods [genetic engineering] differ from other foods in any meaningful or uniform way."
In reality, there was major concern among FDA scientists that GM foods were in fact different than natural foods, and that their creation could prompt unknown and unpredictable health problems.
Along with being a key player in the initial pushing of GM foods onto Americans’ plates (without any required safety studies), Taylor also oversaw the policy regarding Monsanto’s genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rbGH/rbST).

This growth hormone, which has been banned in Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand because of cancer risks and other health concerns, was approved in the United States while Taylor was in charge at the FDA. Smith writes:


“Taylor also determined that milk from injected cows did not require any special labeling. And as a gift to his future employer Monsanto, he wrote a white paper suggesting that if companies ever had the audacity to label their products as not using rbGH, they should also include a disclaimer stating that according to the FDA, there is no difference between milk from treated and untreated cows.”
Taylor’s white paper, which again was untrue as even FDA scientists acknowledged differences in the rbGH milk, allowed Monsanto to sue dairies that labeled their products rbGH-free.

Dennis Wolff, Another Monsanto “Yes Man,” May be the Next Under-Secretary of Agriculture for Food Safety

In another ironic turn of events, it’s rumored that Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Dennis Wolff may be appointed the new Under-Secretary of Agriculture for Food Safety -- the top food safety post at the USDA.

Wolff declared that labeling products rbGH-free was against the law, and ordered all such labels to be removed from Pennsylvania. Fortunately, due to consumer demand Pennsylvania's Governor Ed Rendell stepped in and stopped the ban on rbGH-free labels (although he did require such claims to include Taylor’s FDA disclaimer that there is no difference between milk from treated and untreated cows).
As Jeffrey Smith explains:


“Rumor has it that the reason why Pennsylvania's governor is supporting Wolff's appointment is to get him out of the state -- after he "screwed up so badly" with the rbGH decision. Oh great, governor. Thanks.”[6]


Not only did Dennis Wolff attempt to ban rbGH-free labels, but OCA points out that he has “also worked to deprive communities the right to ban toxic sewage sludge, factory farms, and GMOs.”[7]


Monsanto’s Long-Reaching Grasp on the U.S. Government 

Clearly, Monsanto -- the world leader in genetic modification of seeds -- has worked its way into varying high-level positions in the U.S. government. There are other less noticeable connections too, such as Sharon Long, a former member of Monsanto’s board of directors who was part of Obama’s scientific advisory team during the election/campaign.[8]

Monsanto is a very dark cloud hanging over the future of health and food safety in the United States. This powerful entity has already managed so many reprehensible acts it boggles the mind, including:

• Leading the world into a new age of potentially hazardous genetic modification of seeds.
• Patenting not only their own GMO seeds, but also a huge number of crop seeds, patenting life forms for the first time -- without a vote of the people or Congress.
• Not allowing farmers to save their seeds to replant the next year -- a practice that has been done for generations. Instead, they aggressively seek out and sue farmers they suspect of doing so.
• Suing farmers who have not been able to prevent the inevitable drift of Monsanto’s GE pollen or seed onto their land for patent infringement!
• Producing two of the most toxic substances ever known -- polychlorinated biphenyls, known as PCBs, and dioxin (Agent Orange).

Perhaps their biggest assault to your food supply already is what’s known as terminator technology. These are seeds that have been genetically modified to “self-destruct.” In other words, the seeds (and the forthcoming crops) are sterile, which means farmers must buy them again each year.
The implications that terminator seeds could have on the world’s food supply are disastrous: the traits from genetically engineered crops can get passed on to other crops. Once the terminator seeds are released into a region, the trait of seed sterility could be passed to other non-genetically-engineered crops, making most or all of the seeds in the region sterile.

If allowed to continue, every farmer in the world could come to rely on Monsanto for their seed supply!


So What Can You Do?
The first step you have already done, and that is to get informed. You can continue to spread the word further by sharing this article with your friends and family.

Next, hit Monsanto and industrial agriculture where it counts ... their bottom line. By boycotting all GM foods and instead supporting organic (and local) farmers who do not use Monsanto’s GM seeds, you are using your wallet to make your opinions known.
This means abstaining from virtually all processed food products (most are loaded with GM ingredients) and sticking to fresh, locally grown, organic foodstuffs instead.


You can join the fight to truly revamp the FDA as well, by signing this petition from the American Association for Health Freedom (AAHF). AAHF is leading a campaign to reform the FDA, and your help is urgently needed, as a large number of signatures are required to compel Congressional Action.

Finally, you can voice your opinion directly to the Obama Administration. Simply use this form from the Organic Consumers Association to send a message to President Obama, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack, and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius (oversees FDA) demanding Michael Taylor's resignation, and letting them know you oppose Dennis Wolff's appointment.

What Can you Do as Warriors of Prophecy? 

Start by praying for the world!  Get down on your knees and send love to those key people above.  We are Warriors do not send petitions because they don't work, because Monsanto and other Big Businesses have more money to hire people to sign petitions for them, and they will win, with this method.  

Petitions originally had a reason to voice to the world to make changes, but now it's a matter of paperwork shuffle.  Who is better at it?  And when money is the objective, then money will win over those who want change, because their objective is not money.  


This is a time of Prophecy and we who are walking this path know that information is only a way to show love to those who are in need.  We as Warriors fight with love, not with hate or opposition.  There is much to learn in the world of  change.  As we learn to walk the way of the Renegade, that rules are meant to be broken, we can learn from these big business, that we can control the world, not with opposition, but with LOVE.  

Those who pray and send love have more power than those who do not.  Prayer works in the dark space, not the light space. This means, we create change before it happens.  You want to know real control, then send love to those above who need it and help them and guide them towards their own salvation.  Because if we don't help them now, we will end up helping them after they are dead, as many and many thousands will die when the red star comes and the skies are full of fire.  Remember marshall law is coming, and food and water will be scarce.  The only way to survive will be the road of the Warrior of Prophecy who visions in the dark space of heaven, with a loving heart, for we will not have eyes to see with, but a heart that will know the way. 


This article is brought to you by Grandparent Hawkwind Going Places who is angry at others who don't know or understand love.  We bring this to you, in order for you to practice the law of love.  Gift to those who are not knowing of this law and fill their hearts up with love.  Your gift of blessings upon their souls will take them one step closer to their salvation.  This is Prophecy, and those who learn the laws of love, the Red Road, will be able to walk into the shadows of the valley and survive the burning fires of purification that is upon us.  Remember we all know, that 2012 will bring us a new era of Heaven upon Earth, and skills to survive means learning to walk inside of Dark Space and Light Space as they merge together as ONE.  Now will be able to escape, just like we don't have the power to turn back Tsunami or Earthquakes.  These are all managed and created for our transition of creation and destruction (second phase of evolution) to destruction and creation (third phase of evolution).  


The fittest will survive, as heaven's numinous flowing merges with the earth's luminous flowing!  Learn to receive blessings and bless others every hour of every day, to keep your inner house of spirit cleansed. "I bless my self"  "I bless the world" and Grandfather Light reminds us "I bless you!"
