The Strawman Illusion Explained by Thomas Anderson!

Someone sent me an e-mail today and asked me if I ever visited a web site called The Crow House (http://thecrowhouse.com/home.html) I took a look and was pleasantly surprised to see a well-stocked Australian anti-NWO site that covers many of the subjects which I touch upon here.

I came upon this excellent one hour and 34 minute audio presentation by Thomas Anderson, an Australian who also uses the name Agent J or "J. Anderson" on his videos. He has a clear and melodious voice which he puts to good use in explaining the fiction of commerce which we are all subjected to called the Strawman and our assumption of representation of that fictitious entity whenever we sign our name or give our name to the court. I spent a lot of time listening to talks given in Long Beach, California in the mid 1990s which explained the basic tenets of the Freeman movement (referred to as the Redemption movement).

This man successfully distills those hours and hours of lectures down to a succinct and crisp single lecture. Well done. Thomas Anderson has published four books which can be obtained through his official web sites:

I also found Mary Croft's book: How I Clobbered Every Bureaucratic Cash-Confiscatory Agency Known to Man, available as a free pdf download. ( http://thecrowhouse.com/Documents/mary-book.pdf ). The book ably covers most of the key principles involved in understanding the Strawman and other aspects of the Redemption movement. I knew of the book's existence a few years ago, but didn't actually read it until now. I was greatly impressed.

Beyond the money/debt stuff, I find her perspective about the Wasteland called 'higher education' to be in sync with my own views. While I love the idea of education, self-education is the only thing that adds any meaning or value to our lives. Formal schooling, both public and private, could be an expansive and gratifying growth experience, but most of the time, it isn't. The quality of education in America has been intentionally DUMBED DOWN thanks to the hidden hand of the (British) Fabian Society, which gradually infiltrated their Illuminated agents into the American educational system, starting at the turn of the 20th century. The end result is that today, we have kids being driven to exhaustion trying to pile on ever more truckloads of useless DATA, while stifling the creative expression normal to kids, and doing everything possible to keep kids from THINKING FOR THEMSELVES. Paul Verge, producer of the DVD Hijacking Humanity, recently produced some excellent video and audio interviews on this very topic. I'll be posting them soon to this web site.

This Popular Drink May Be Almost as Hazardous to Your Health as Soda.

Dr. Richard Johnson is the chief of the division of kidney disease and hypertension at the University of Colorado, and author of The Sugar Fix, one of the best books on the market on the dangers of fructose.

As one of the physicians on the cutting edge of sugar metabolism research today, his focus is on how the overabundance of sugar in the American diet -- particularly fructose -- is causing obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and a number of other health problems.

The answer to the question in the headline is fruit juice. But before I explain why fruit juice may be as hazardous to your health as soda, let me first give you some background information.

Fructose has become one of my newest health passions for a number of reasons. It is really not well understood how pervasive a negative influence this sugar has on people’s health, but even more importantly, it is something that we can easily change, by influencing the food industry to replace it with something healthier.

One of the leading researchers in this field is Richard Johnson, MD, who is the chief of the division of kidney disease and hypertension at the University of Colorado. I’ve previously interviewed Dr. Johnson about his research into the health dangers of fructose, specifically how fructose causes high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes.

Here, we continue this discussion, and Dr. Johnson also shares new details of the research he’s been involved with since the last interview.

Information About Fructose From Dr. Richard Johnson (part 1 of 5)

An interesting aside is that at the end of this interview, I was very pleasantly surprised to learn that I had written some of the articles on fructose that he reviewed when he first decided to researched this topic.

It really gave me great joy to know that all the hard work and effort I have put in over the years really is making a difference, not only getting people healthy, but also motivating high integrity scientists to do the right thing.It is worth noting that Dr. Johnson actually endorses Splenda in his book, The Sugar Fix, which was written prior to us getting to know each other, but I recently sent him my book Sweet Deception, which outlines the many dangers of artificial sweeteners. He’s a true physician and was eager to review the material and update his knowledge on the subject.

There aren’t many doctors out there with this type of integrity. I really like Dr. Johnson and believe he’s an authentically well-intentioned good guy.

It is not often that a health researcher can open up my eyes to a completely novel and new risk factor for health, as he did with uric acid and fructose, and I will always be grateful to him for that and for his willingness to enlighten us in these interviews.

Uric Acid as a Marker for Fructose Toxicity!

One of the surprising facts discussed in our first interview was how detrimental the impact of fructose is on your uric acid levels. It appears as though that process is essential to the damage that fructose causes, and it’s actually an excellent marker for toxicity from fructose.

According to the latest research in this area, the safest range of uric acid is between 3 and 5.5 milligrams per deciliter, and there appears to be a steady relationship between uric acid levels and blood pressure and cardiovascular risk, even down to the range of 3 to 4 mg/dl.

Dr. Johnson suggests that the ideal uric acid level is probably around 4 mg/dl for men and 3.5 mg/dl for women.

This is actually the only major biochemical marker that I need to optimize at this point in my life, which most likely suggests that I am particularly sensitive to fructose intake and that it’s best for me to keep my levels as low as possible.

This is most likely due to genetics and would explain why most of my paternal relatives have, or have died from, diabetes. That side of the family is most likely particularly sensitive to fructose.

So I would STRONGLY encourage everyone to have their uric acid level checked to find out how sensitive you are to fructose. (I’ll discuss this strategy further, in just a moment.)

As you know, two-thirds of the US population is overweight, and most of these people likely have uric acid levels well above 5.5. Some may even be closer to 10 or above.

Dr. Johnson has developed a program to help people optimize their uric acid levels, and the key step in this program is complete elimination of fructose.

Don't let the milk industry murder you and your family! by Dr Wm Campbell Douglass

The inside scoop on the most crooked gang of thieves in the country - they're getting rich selling you milk-flavored poison... But don't despair, I'm about to show you how to save your life! - An article by Dr. Wm. Campbell Douglass

Dear Trusted Reader,

Sirens scream and the deafening roar of helicopters fill the area surrounding the farm. Searchlights flicker everywhere. FBI agents dash from their cars with guns drawn and kick through the front door of the house...

Are they after a serial killer...or busting up an international drug ring? No!

What you're about to read could be one of the most important thing you've seen in your life. I do not consider it an exaggeration to say that this nation's destiny - and the destiny of everyone in it - will be affected by what we do about milk.

Save your life - and the life of your family: Discover RAW TRUTH behind America's milk scandal!



(This video shows that protecting financial interests are more important than exposing the dangers in the health industry. They would rather keep the advertising money from certain companies than expose their harmful effects on the body, for "The Love of Money!)

Here is a little FUN! Well not really but it will make you smile a little at least. This next video helps you think about all the FOOD PRODUCTS that contained toxic milk in much of our over processed food supply. The crew from 'Got the facts on Milk?' do the supermarket dance and show the foods that contain milk derivatives. Talk about...brainwashing...ouch! :)



Dr. D's article contiued...It's an udder outrage! I've warned against the dangers of pasteurized milk for nearly 30 years and I'm appalled it's STILL not illegal. I even testified against pasteurization before the South Carolina legislature.

Pasteurized, homogenized milk is brewed up in big factories, boiled beyond recognition and so chemically "enhanced" that by the time it gets to you it's just milk-flavored poison I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole - let alone serve it to my child.

But you'd just go on drinking this crud without knowing
that it could cost you your life!

Why? Because the agriculture industry shells out BIG BUCKS to cloud the truth with their own "studies" on how fabulous pasteurization is...and trust me, these guys are worse than tobacco lobbyists!

Meanwhile, whole raw milk - perhaps nature's most perfect food - is criminalized like some sort of street drug. Anyone selling it could face investigation, serious jail time or be forced to pay huge fines.

When in fact...

Raw milk, animal fat, and animal protein in your diet can save your life!

Our greatest agricultural loss today is due to our senseless destruction of fresh, raw milk through pasteurization and ultra-pasteurization, which turns a great food into a white, "milk- flavored drink," about as nutritious as a glass of Cola.

A switch to unprocessed, unpasteurized milk should be a national priority...

Because raw milk is the hidden key to unlimited health!...and today I'm bringing you the scoop you need to fight off the milk criminals of the world, protect your family and with any luck, get the most out of your milk - nature's MOST PERFECT FOOD!



"THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF DAIRY FARMS IN OUR STATE STILL MAKING ALL-NATURAL MILK AND CHEESE. IN TONIGHT'S "LIVING WELL" SEGMENT, O-E-T-A'S ANGELA ROSECRANS TAKES US TO A DAIRY FARM IN CLAREMORE WHERE STILL DOING THINGS THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY."

Just to add more "FUEL to the Fire", as we say... here is a review of the health problems with soy and why it is not the health food you were led to believe it is. SOY... "FUCK SOYBEAN", that's Jedi opinion! There are many better choices for protein, even for Vegans.

Why Soy Is NOT a Health Food - http://www.mercola.com/



Stamping out the lethal SOY PLOY!

One piece of vegetarian propaganda is deadlier than all the others combined, and I've got the shocking research to prove it too...

Despite its status as darling of the vegetarian "meat martyrs," soy is NOT a health food. Yet somehow this lethal bean will be the foundation of the new international nutrition. And it wasn't even considered a food until 50 years ago!



Supermarkets and coffeeshops across the country are offering soy-milk instead of natural cow's milk - and people are duped into thinking it's the HEALTHY option. Nothing could be further from the truth! And if you happen to have thyroid issues...you'll definitely want to check out my groundbreaking information in detail!



It's all in the latest edition of my book, "The RAW TRUTH About MILK."

And if you ask me - or any of the thousands who read earlier editions - I'd say it's my most important work yet. Because proper understanding of milk, and its destructive effects when heat treated - and the remarkable therapeutic effects when used raw - I think we can:

- Cut billions of dollars off our medical bills
- Raise the I.Q. of our children
- And banish some of today's worst health disasters...
- What if with just one single serving of raw milk, we could be well on our way to wiping out diabetes, tuberculosis, multiple sclerosis, high blood pressure...and much more?

Plus, you'll find out:

What to NEVER feed a baby, unless you want it to grow up sickly and deformed...don't worry, I'll show you the perfect baby formula. Why most supermarket milks make you fat - and what you can do to look fit and trim?

How buttermilk can preserve a steak for 13 years! - Sounds crazy but it's true. So why is raw milk as illegal as murder if it's so great? Let's look at history a little closer to find out... Arming you with the knowledge you need to outsmart the crooked dairy industry,and experience the gulp of PERFECT HEALTH you deserve...

If you don't mind my saying so, writing this book was no easy feat. Along the way, I visited dozens of farms, pored through centuries of milk research, traveled overseas, and found myself on more than one occasion wading through mountains of cow-dung... But all the sweat and tears were worth it, because "The RAW TRUTH About MILK" gives you essential knowledge you can't get anywhere else.



Milk farms today are almost DIRTIER than they were in the dark ages, and that means your milk is full of THIS...

The milk-like beverage forced on your grandchildren and advertised as nutritious - when in fact, it could be toxic!

The century old butter swindle that slashes 12 years from your life expectancy... How the residents of Lichtenstein lived till 150 - by choosing their diet very carefully...and how you can do the same!

The sea animal that might have the VERY BEST MILK known to mankind...
And I haven't even mentioned my groundbreaking investigations into America's ice cream and butter scandals!

Concerned that you can't find raw cows' milk anywhere? Don't worry! I'll show you the BEST farm in America to score some...and if you can't make it there, I'll show you the next best raw milk that's much easier to find.

"This is the only definitive book on milk ever written."
"It should change the attitude of the American people concerning the value of unprocessed foods. Every American concerned about his
health should read this book." – Jack Mathis, President, Mathis Dairy

"Factual and funny, witty and blisteringly honest..."

"Filled with truth and hilarity...all the stuff that usually only fiction is made of." – Maureen Kennedy Salaman President, National Health Federation

They're fighting to keep one of the greatest natural medicines known to mankind out of your hands...

If want the inside scoop on the most crooked gang of thieves in the country, getting rich selling me milk-flavored poison. Dr. Douglass gives a 100% money-back. For a copy of The RAW TRUTH About MILK, click!

NOTE: I have no afilliation nor do I promote or profit from Dr. Douglass's book. I only presnt this based on exposing truth about the Food Industry and our not so looking after us Government. It's to help people be aware ffor the sake of your own health and wellfare!

NUFF SAID!

Vegans angry over poisoned soy burgers - You've got Hate Mail!

Vegans are sproutin' mad at me -- absolutely steamed, like microwaved broccoli -- over my recent column on soy "burgers" contaminated with hexane, a dangerous neurotoxin. by Dr. Wm. Campbell Douglass

(Read: "Dangerous chemical used to process soy.") "The Douglass Report"

Article: Dangerous chemical used to process soy!

"Listen up, veg-heads — because your soy burger was processed with poison.

A new report from the nonprofit Cornucopia Institute finds that many veggie burgers, meatless chicken patties and soy- based snack bars contain a dangerous neurotoxin called hexane.

But if you’re a vegetarian, why worry? Break out the soy patties and fire up your environmentally friendly dung- powered grill. You’re on the road to sickness and disease anyway, and this will help speed your journey.

The report says food manufacturers bathe soy in this poison to help separate it into oil, protein and fiber. And this chemical can linger right up to the point where you bite into your flavorless, meatless nuggets.

Yum, yum — hungry yet? The hexane itself actually comes from petroleum, so you know it must be tasty and healthy.

The Evironmental Protection Agency considers hexane to be a hazardous air pollutant. That’s right — forget eating it, you shouldn’t even inhale the vapors.

It’s so toxic that the Nazis actually injected a related chemical, benzine, into concentration camp victims.

Soy is bad enough for you… it mimics estrogen so well that the body actually thinks it’s getting an extra hormone boost. And believe me, you don’t need it. It’s making women sick and turning men into weepy, boob-growing shemales.

Add hexane to the mix, and you don’t have a meal. You have a death wish.

If you’re really craving a burger, skip the soy and come back to the real thing. You can’t beat it for taste and health, and most vegans know it — even if they won’t admit it.

Why else would they put so much time and effort into trying to recreate it?") - end Article

Talk about shooting the messenger -- you people should be thanking me! (And to those of you who did, you're welcome.)

To be fair, a few vegetarians sent me carefully written, thoughtful defenses of their diets, and I enjoyed reading them -- even if they were ultimately wrong. Others, well... let's just say I've seen better writing on bathroom walls.



Here's my favorite, unedited and uncensored:

I think you're a shil for the meat industry. As a doctor you should know the majority of the health issues in America are due to high intake of animal fats. So continue your advice to all those who eat these items (you as well) and perhaps die of a heart attack, stroke, diabeties, high fat and blood pressure.

The only part he got right was when he called me a doctor!

Sorry pal, but you'd have to be high on sugar to believe that animal fats are causing disease. Our problem isn't meats -- it's sweets.

Here's a simple experiment you can try at home, when you're not too busy sending out hate mail: Create a graph of sugar consumption over the past century. Then, create a graph with obesity, diabetes and heart disease levels over the same period.

Drop me a line and let me know what you find. Feel free to use crayon if it's more comfortable.

Several angry greenies accused me of being a shill -- or a "shil" -- for the meat industry, which only proves they're really vegans. Any regular reader who thinks I support the meat industry is clearly suffering from one of the well-established side effects of a meat-free diet: memory problems due to low vitamin B12.



Here's a refresher:

* The ugly truth behind ground beef!
* Factory foods filled with disease!
* A tale of two beefs!

Factory farms are disease mills, and the "meats" that emerge from them are crawling with filth -- not to mention dangerous hormones and powerful antibiotics. And yes, they're even cruel.

I can't and won't defend them... but that doesn't mean you have to give up meat for supposed ethical reasons, either, because there's a big difference between this shady, greedy industry and natural meats from quality sources.

All you need to do is skip the supermarket meat aisle and visit a good butcher instead -- someone who gets natural, free-range, grass-fed meats that are free of hormones and antibiotics, ideally from small organic farms.

You'll pay more, and it'll be worth every penny.

And if you STILL think being ethical means depriving your own body of critical nutrients, essential minerals and healthy fats and protein, knock yourself out.



Just remember: plants have feelings too.

Article: If meat is murder, then salad is slaughter!

Vegans love to climb up on their organic soapboxes and claim the high ground… because no animals die for their food.
But is it any better to kill plants?

Heck no… botanists have always known that plants–like the rest of us–have instincts, behavior and a will to live too… and a recent article in the New York Times offers some real food for thought.
I’ll bet the vegans will have a hard time digesting this one!

Plants communicate. When attacked, they’ll even defend themselves. Not enough to stop the average vegetarian from crunching on them, but they’re pretty good at turning away insects and other threats. For example, a plant being attacked by a caterpillar can send out a chemical signal that calls out to insects and parasites that eat caterpillars.

This is backed up by science, talk to some botanists. They’ll tell you that plants can be ruthless competitors: They will move, shift and grow in ways to get the most sun for themselves while shading and even strangling others… and then suck up all the nutrients from the ground before neighboring plants can. (Yes and remember the Elite love the laws of nature, because Nauture is Ruthless, just like them...DS888)

You could take all that and decide that we simply shouldn’t eat anything… ever. Or you can be practical about it and realize that, as the dominant species on the planet, we humans can eat all the plants and animals we want.

To the victors go the spoils. For a few shining moments, that’s us… but don’t worry. The plants win–eventually, we all end up as fertilizer.


Meet Dr Douglass...

I’m William Campbell Douglass I.I., M.D. I’ve been called “the conscience of modern medicine,” and the National Health Federation voted me "Doctor of the Year".

But, I’ve also been labeled a “maverick”, and several less flattering names too, by some of the biggest names in the government and health establishments – but, hey, that’s part of the territory. And my territory is everywhere…

•I’ve flown with US Navy crews as a flight surgeon…
•Saved lives as a long-time emergency physician…
•Battled malaria in bullet-torn regions of Central America…
•Fought deadly epidemics at my own health clinic in Africa…
•Worked alongside doctors at Russia’s renowned Pasteur Institute…
•I’ve even been called before Congress (they never asked me back)…

And if there’s one undeniable fact I’ve learned in 40 years of treating patients all over the world, it’s that…

There is no such thing...as an undeniable medical fact!

That’s why I keep searching and fighting for the real medical breakthroughs that will keep you on the road to a healthy, length life – a road that can be easier, cheaper and far more pleasant than any health-nag would every lead you to believe. I guarantee it.
