onions1 263x164 4+ Reasons Onions may be the Next Big Superfood

The term superfood is thrown around loosely, but it always points to the same thing: an incredibly healthful, natural food that can boost your health in numerous ways. Green tea, berries, and turmeric are just a few that could be considered superfoods, but rarely do we think of onions when we are talking about these dietary golden-children. Still, the health benefits of onions are what make this savory delight a potent health-booster.

 

Most of the benefits of onions come from something called quercetin. Quercetin is a powerful flavonoid, or type of antioxidant, that provides numerous benefits throughout the body by protecting cells from free radical damage. Onions are one of the top dietary sources of this powerful compound.

The New Reefer Madness: Drug War Crusaders Blame Pot Growers for Dead Animals -- But the Drug War's to Blame

The photo looks like something out of a horror film. A long, thin animal lays dissected on a white table. Metal tools pull the animal's skin back to reveal its jellied, maroon-colored insides — all soupy, slick, and lumpy. It's the remains of a Pacific Fisher, an eight-pound member of the weasel family that's now hovering near extinction, thanks in part to illegal pot farming in the vast forests of California.

 

Fishers eat forest mice, and forest mice nibble the green stalks of still-maturing cannabis plants. So illicit growers who toil deep inside California's forests spread powerful rodenticides — rat poison — on the ground near their marijuana crops. The mice eat the poisonous anti-coagulants, get sick, and then the fishers eat the mice. Soon after, the furry forest weasels are melting from the inside out.

Kaua'i city council slaps down Monsanto with unprecedented new restrictions on GMOs and toxic pesticides

Naturalnews, By: Mike Adams, 10/17/2013

(NaturalNews) A milestone has just been achieved on the island in Kaua'i, where the city council passed measure 2491 which places unprecedented new restrictions on toxic agricultural chemicals frequently used in conjunction with GMOs. Few people realize that Kaua'i is ground zero for chemical experimentation in agriculture. The island hosts 15,000 acres of crop lands which are experimentally exploited by biotech companies and chemical manufacturers. As a result, Hawaiians who live on Kaua'i are exposed to a toxic cocktail of synthetic chemicals on a routine basis.

 

The bill passed by a vote of 6 to 1, with councilman Mel Rapozo siding with the biotech industry and voting no. Hawaii Governor Abercrombie appears to be set against the bill and tried to block its passage. The biotech industry, as usual, has been busily engaged in false, defamatory, deceptive and even criminal actions in trying to block this city council measure. The industry, for example, routinely bribes scientists to publicly oppose bills restricting GMOs while falsely claiming they have no financial ties to the industry.

 

Why We Get Mad When Others Challenge What We Believe In

Thousands of years ago the earth was the center of the universe. Hundreds of years ago the earth was flat. Today, we know both of these things to be false given what we have discovered about our world and the solar system. However, when people first started bringing the idea forward that what people believed about the earth being flat or the center of the universe was false, they were met with extreme resistance and were considered to be crazy. Regardless of the fact that today we might laugh at these ideas because we know them to be false, back then it was so heavily believed and engrained into people’s minds. You could say there is a striking resemblance between what was happening during those times and what is happening now with those who are awakening to what is really going on here on earth.

Truth passes through three phases: First it is ridiculed. Second it is fiercely and violently opposed. Third, it becomes self-evident.

On Monday, October 7, 2013, indigenous nations and their allies held 70 actions throughout the world proclaiming their sovereignty. The call to action was issued by Idle No more and Defenders of the Land to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the British Royal Proclamation of 1763, which was the first document in which an imperial nation recognized indigenous sovereignty and their right to self-determination. As we wrote last week, treaties with First Nations are not being honored, and even the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples does not adequately recognize the sovereignty of indigenous peoples.

Jamye Price ~ Weekly LightBlast - Being Truth

Silver's picture

By: Jamye Price, 10/17/2013

I Am That I Am.  Truth.  It transcends right or wrong, it begets choice.  Choice is freedom in every moment.  This resides within you.  Being your Truth is honoring your uniqueness, the breath of Life instilled within you.  You are sacred, beloved, revered and special; as is All Life.  You are the Truth of Life.  You may disagree with the truth of another, yet their truth is valid for them.  To expand, one must embrace all facets of Life while choosing experience for oneself.  It is the paradox of The One.  You are One, both a sovereign, separate being in a physical body with an identity and a united being that is one with All Life, all time, All.  Embrace it All and become Whole.  Lean into that which you resist and allow.  Allow it to Be.  Allow your resistance to Be.  The mystery unfolds within you as to the perfection, the Truth, of All things - the subtle, the formed, the fractal, the whole.  Be it All.

 

Electromagnetic Resonance of the Tesla Gravity Motor

Tesla - Borderlands

The greatest achievements of terrestrial human technology have been hidden from public awareness. While the various space agencies of the world’s governments continue to use outdated and exceedingly dangerous rocket technologies and space shuttles designed in the 1940s and only minimally upgraded since, the advanced gravity control methods and plasma physics research of Nikola Tesla have been secretly suppressed, stolen, constructed and deployed from underground CIA/Nazi military bases.

 

Quite remarkably, a detailed account of Tesla’s development of the Gravity Motor can be found in an extensive series of psychic readings for the inventor that were conducted by Edgar Cayce. Herein, for the first time, these astonishingly lucid trance readings are restored in their proper context, after six decades of strict suppression and relegation to obscurity by falsification of the names of individuals involved and the inclusion of supplemental false data supporting the fictitious persons that were substituted.
