Kogan is the man behind Localflux, a curious new online project with big offline ambitions. It includes a crowdfunding platform and an events tool designed for mobilizing activists, with a bit of an art magazine crammed in between. The website emerged in part out of the Occupy Sandy grassroots relief effort that began a year ago, and it is one of the ways in which the impact of the storm and its aftermath are still being lived out one year later.

Dear friends!

 

The energies have been extremely intense lately, and it is not about to quieten down either… As many of you know already, the Sun is very much a part of this, and this upcoming Sunday, we even have an eclipse coming up (Thank you for sharing this, Otmn!) And yes, we also have a Gathering on Sunday, and it seems like the timing could not have been more perfect ;-) This is what the CCs have to say about it:

One recent study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease sought to identify which antioxidants may be lacking in elderly adults who are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Their findings could offer some valuable knowledge in Alzheimer’s prevention. Antioxidants work by protecting the cells of the body from damage by oxidative stress. It’s believed Alzheimer’s is caused by the accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques in the brain and a loss of synapses—all triggered by oxidative damage and stress.

GMO-Labeling

More than 125,000 people have signed a consumer petition demanding that major food and chemical companies stay out of the corporate campaigns opposing voter initiatives to require labeling of GMO foods in Washington state and around the country, Just Label It and the Environmental Working Group said today. “The support for this petition is more evidence that consumers insist on knowing more about the ingredients in their food and want companies to stop spending millions of dollars to deny them that right,” said EWG’s president Ken Cook. “These expensive lobbying efforts by the food and chemical industries are sending consumers the message that they have something to hide.” The 65 companies targeted donated more than $45 million last year to narrowly defeat a labeling initiative (Proposition 37) in California. Nearly half of those companies have contributed $17 million to the “No on 522″ campaign in Washington state.

Legislation Unveiled to Bar NSA’s Bulk Phone Metadata Collection

By: Dr. David Kravets, 10/29/2013

Lawmakers proposed legislation today that would effectively end the NSA’s bulk phone metadata collection program. The legislation has support from Republicans and Democrats in both the House and Senate, and from groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and National Rifle Association. But the USA FREEDOM Act’s passage into law remains uncertain. “It is time for serious and meaningful reforms so we can restore confidence in our intelligence community,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Democrat from Vermont and one of the bill’s chief sponsors.

 

Today’s proposal is a radical revamp of the Patriot Act, legislation passed in the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. In 2006, lawmakers amended the act to allow the bulk collection program under the disguise of Section 215 of the Patriot Act — which allows the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to authorize broad warrants for most any type of “tangible” records, including those held by banks, doctors and phone companies.

Your body is naturally equipped with a self-sufficient detoxification process. But too much sugar, caffeine, processed foods, fluoride, vaccines, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, cosmetics, dioxins, stress, and too little exercise can slow the body’s natural detox function to a crawl. And then your body can’t clean itself when it is put up against the increasing number of harmful and toxic substances in the environment. Enhancing detoxification pathways is the answer to preventing your body from becoming a toxic waste dump. Once this is done you will begin mobilizing and binding the metals in your body and excreting them through your urine, bile, stool, and sweat.

Montague’s Message for Monday, 29th October 2013

Silver's picture

By: Montague Keen, 10/29/2013

THE WORLD IS CHANGED BY YOUR EXAMPLE, NOT BY YOUR OPINION.

 

You each must become the change you want to see in your world. You know in your hearts what is required. When the majority of you decide to speak out and refuse to accept the old paradigm anymore, then change will happen. The Cabal is not in a position to enforce its corrupt regime anymore. Those American Generals who bravely decided they could not live with what they were asked to do, showed great courage. Their brave stance should act as an example to all who are asked to go against their conscience, to destroy life or the planet in any way. The Cabal knows that it can no longer conceal your true origins and your connection to the universe, and so they have employed armies to systematically destroy all the great ancient relics of the past that verified all that you know to be true. These acts of vandalism carried out under the instructions of the Cabal, are a henious crime against all humanity and must be seen as such. I ask that you think carefully about carrying out such acts, no matter who orders you to do so, as one day you will regret ever having complied with such wanton destruction.

 

How much longer can you ignore that ear-splitting noise calling for you to awaken?

The Oneness of all of creation is the underlying truth that supports all that exists, and for you, embodied as individual human beings with many different beliefs and cultures, that is an enormous paradox.  And your guide through the paradox, the maze, is your intuition, your guidance from your true Self, and from those on whom you may choose to call in the spiritual realms.  And to make contact with that guidance you have to break away from the distractions with which the illusion constantly presents you – deadlines, responsibilities to others, and various other “shoulds and musts” that you accept as inevitable and unavoidable burdens – and take time out in your peaceful inner space to be quiet and to listen.  And that can be very difficult initially as your daily chores and responsibilities keep popping into your mind with the message “You just don’t have time for this right now.”

 

DuPont sued multiple times as court-backed science panel finds chemical C8 used in Teflon is linked to cancer

(NaturalNews) Back in April 2013, DuPont was sued in a wrongful death case when a court-appointed science panel linked DuPont's C8 (perfluorooctanoic acid) to kidney cancer, thyroid disease and testicular cancer, to name a few adverse effects. Dupont's C8 chemical, the key ingredient in their Teflon brand, is primarily used as a synthetic coating in cookware. Back in 2001, the C8 chemical was found in Ohio and West Virginia residents' drinking water near DuPont's Parkersburg, West Virginia, plant on the Ohio border. Back then, 80,000 area residents filed a class action lawsuit against DuPont for contaminating their water sources with C8 and ravaging their health. DuPont settled to pay $343 million of the residents' medical tests, also promising to remove C8 from the area's water supply. A court-approved science panel was hired to study C8 and its ability to cause disease in humans over the past thirteen years.

Thanks to research from the University of Michigan and nearly three centuries of medicinal use, we can now utilize ginger root to not only kill ovarian cancer cells, but also prostate cancer cells with zero toxicity. Truly among the great medicines of the world, ginger has long been used to treat inflammation and nausea, but the results presented in a session at the American Association for Cancer Research show that in every single instance where ginger powder was used to treat cancer cells, they all died as a result of being exposed to the compound. In medical lingo this is called apoptosis (cancer cell suicide.) When ginger is present, the cells even attack one another, called autophagy. While ginger has been deemed a great natural remedy for those who are undergoing chemotherapy, it can also be used in larger quantities to treat cancer of its own accord.
