Challenging Obama's Dangerous "Health Emergency" New Presidential "National Health Emergency" The Health Emergency declaration which President Obama signed on Friday, October 23, 2009 gives appointed, NOT elected, HHS Secretary Sebelius the power to suspend your right to:
There is no redress or appeal built into this power so that, once taken to a distant holding facility, a "patient" has no way out of that facility until they are released at the whim of the State or carried out feet first (or cremated?). Hospitals will have the ability to designate you In fact, despite the fact that there is no Swine Flu health emergency, this Declaration puts the US on a par with Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia where the tyrants who declared war on their own people used the structures of the system to "justify" and "legitimize" their assault on the life, location and liberty of their citizens. The Declaration gives appointed, not elected, Secretary Sebelius the power to military will back of the Hard to swallow as it may be, providing this authority to itself means that the US Government now has its excuse to institute the corralling and culling of anyone it chooses. The First Amendment of the US Constitution gives us the right to petition the government for the redress of grievances. This is certainly a grievance. Please submit the Petition for the Redress of Grievances below once for each member of your house hold and then forward this information to the largest possible number of people to create the same kind of effective Push Back that caused Secretaries Napolitano and Sebelius to call off the Pandemic itself last week. We told you that the other side would be back. They are. We told you that our Push Back is the strongest took to keep them stepping backwards. It is, but only if you take action and mobilize everyone you can reach to do the same. Yours in health and freedom, Dr. Rima |

Elders' Meditation: October 22nd
Elder's Meditation of the Day - October 22 | |
"Growth is a painful process." | |
--Wilma Mankiller, CHEROKEE | |
Whenever we grow, we usually need to let go of emotional attachments. Letting go can be painful. Sometimes growth allows us to deal with fear. All fear can fit into two categories: one, we're going to lose something we have, and two, we're not going to get something we want. Both of these categories can cause pain. The best way to grow is to pray to the Great Spirit and ask Him to guide and protect us. All growth is guided by God. |
I haven't been present here for awhile due to the overwhelming lack of response.
However, I have been doing some thinking about some of the women & men I have come across as of late and their continual illnesses.
First let me say that it Totally Amazes me that so many people choose to be ill. To many people illness is a manner of life...it is a modus operendi.....it is a way of getting attention where they might other wise be ignored. So their illness serves them. For them to get well is not an option, for they might lose the attention of others and be forced into taking responsibility for their lives.
A woman I once worked with was always suffering from some malady or another...she always got better but she never got well....not until her verbally abusive mother passed. She always had the concerned attention of her father & most of her co-workers while she was ailing.
So in the manner of getting caring attention from her father and others, she chose to be ill and in this manner her illness served her.
We can choose our life and how we live it. We can choose health or illness. We can choose life or death. We can choose to be happy or not.
Personally, I have found that no matter how ill I become, that there is something else behind it. For sure when I developed asthma while being in an unhappy (repressed) relationship...well that was a choice of mine. Being in a repressive relationship manifested itself in my being unable to breathe & speak without choking, which was fine for that man...it's what he needed in a woman. But my inner self fought against it and developed a symptom that made me wake up to what was going on in my life. I walked right out of that relationship and am well.
I still find today that when I have something that needs being said in order to right a bad situation, that when I keep those words in, my body rebels and I can end up with a bad case of sore throat & then bronchitis....when I speak my truth then I heal more quickly.
I find the more grateful I am for my life and the more I express that gratitude to Creator and others, the better my life is. The more I affirm that I am healthy & live a vibrant life the more it manifests into reality.
So what are we choosing? What are we welcoming into our life? What are we getting from our situations? What do we really want? What would change if we let go of our negativity?
I believe to a major extent we create our reality & our lives...So I choose: Love, peace, harmony, good health, & prosperity.
I send the same to you. Walk in Beauty, Walk in Balance.
Save an Endangered Species
As someone who cares about wildlife and environmental health, I'm writing to strongly oppose the Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to register Kaput-D for use in eradicating prairie dogs in ten states across the Great Plains. The Environmental Protection Agency should not approve Kaput-D, and should immediately rescind its May 2009 approval of Rozol, a similar poison used to kill prairie dogs. In addition to killing black-tailed prairie dogs -- themselves a candidate for federal protection -- these poisons will put other imperiled species at unacceptable risk in violation of the Endangered Species Act, the Migratory Bird Act and other federal laws.
I'm amazed that by using Kaput (note the slang term in this name) does not understand the significance of killing off an endangered specie or using poison to do so. It's obvious that by using poison to kill one living thing, will in turn poison other living things that come into contact with that poison.
Example being: when you poison a rat, and your dog then eats that rat...you dog dies of the poison as well... So poison contains a chain reaction..... when you poison bugs, you poison the food plant the bug was living on and in turn the poison passes into the ground and poisons not only the earth, but the water...and then we who eat that plant or drink the water become become poisoned, get sick and die.
Prairie dogs have declined by more than 95% from their historic numbers due to habitat loss, poisoning, shooting and non-native disease. And as a keystone species, their decline has had a negative effect on other prairie animals -- including black-footed ferrets, one of the rarest animals in the world. So it begs the question: why would the EPA even consider approving two new poisons that will help speed the decline of these already imperiled species?
Rozol and Kaput-D cause prairie dogs to slowly bleed to death (Jesus wept) -- a cruel and excruciating way to die. These chemicals also set off a chain reaction of secondary poisoning that can kill imperiled animals that are tied to prairie dogs on the food chain -- including black-footed ferrets, swift foxes, badgers, golden and bald eagles, burrowing owls and ferruginous hawks.
In September, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials requested that your agency consult with them before approving Rozol -- and to put Kaput-D on hold completely (and get these Actively Ignorant people who would use this out of office) -- because prairie dog poisoning had been shown to be a "major factor in the decline of [black-footed] ferrets" and because they had serious concerns about the effects these two poisons could have on other prairie wildlife.
But despite these requests, the EPA went ahead and approved the use of Rozol without properly consulting with federal wildlife experts and without giving the public a chance to weigh in on this deadly decision. And now the agency is poised to approve Kaput-D.
The Environmental Protection Agency is supposed to protect our environment and the wildlife we share it with. I hope the agency will rethink its decision to approve Rozol -- and reject the application to approve Kaput-D -- in order to avoid playing an active role in speeding the decline of several already imperiled species.

I AM OUTRAGED
I have sad news. Yellowstone National Park’s famous Cottonwood Pack has just been destroyed -- all the adult wolves have been killed, and the surviving pups will likely die without the rest of their wolf family.
The Cottonwoods are just some of the latest victims of the federal government’s likely illegal decision to eliminate vital protections for our wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the northern Rockies. Unless we are successful in urging Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to reverse this bad decision, hundreds more wolves will be killed.
Please sign our petition and urge Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to immediately take action to restore protections for these amazing animals.
The Cottonwood wolves are not alone. They’re among the more than 60 wolves already killed in the region -- a disturbingly high number for a hunting season only weeks old.
I was there when the first wolves were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park, and I have personally guided Defenders members to watch the Cottonwood Pack. It is particularly heartbreaking to see one of America's greatest conservation victories slip from our grasp because of a policy mistake. But there is still time to correct it -- and if we act quickly, we can still save the lives of literally hundreds of wolves in the region.
Our wolves need your voice -- and the support of as many others as possible who care about the future of these magnificent animals.
Sign this important petition today. We will personally hand-deliver your signatures to the Department of the Interior as a powerful statement that America supports a lasting future for our wolves.
The next few weeks will be crucial for our wolves in this region. The truth is, the future of wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the northern Rockies is at a crossroads -- and it will take the voices of caring wildlife supporters like you to make a difference.
Last month, a federal judge ruled that we are likely to win our lawsuit to restore protections for these beloved wolves. But with the lives of hundreds of wolves at stake, we can’t wait for the final ruling on our case -- a ruling that will likely not come for many months.
Please sign our petition to Secretary Salazar today.
The Cottonwood wolves were not the first victims of the flawed delisting -- and they certainly won’t be the last. The time has come to correct the unacceptable error made by the Obama administration that continues to erode one of the greatest conservation victories of the last century. Please lend your voice to help save our wolves.
Together, we can ensure that wolves will be an enduring part of America.
Sincerely, Rodger Schlickeisen President Defenders of Wildlife |
P.S. If you would like to support our work to save wolves in the Greater Yellowstone and northern Rockies region, please donate online, or call 1-800-385-9712.

Ode to the Gourd Man
Here are three poems I wrote Monday morning @ 1:00 ish.
Long ago I met a man given to unimaginable acts of kindness
The unconditional love that poured out from within
Marked my life and caused my heart to sing
That was then
Now when meeting up with that man
There are only words of bitterness and angst
Causing my heart to cower and lie hidden within
So sad this
In front of me you stand
With a blink of an eye you are gone again
Only to return in six months time
As if we had never been apart
How easily you come and go
What is this game of yours
What is your need
What do you prove
Another six months
My phone does sing
Caller ID shows it's you
I dare not answer
Eventually...maybe six months from now
I'll be brave enough to return your call
You reached out and touched my heart with loving kindness
In return I do the same
But you want none of it
You push me away with your callous silence
I am taking my heart elsewhere

In the central North Pacific, plastic outweighs surface zooplankton 6 to 1.

I had never been so excited to see garbage in my life. I was actuallygiddy. After flying from Los Angeles to the Big Island of Hawaii, I hitched a ride on the research vessel Alguita as it did a shakedown cruise, readying to set sail to traverse the massive Eastern Garbage Patch, which lies between there and California. This rubbish-strewn patch floats within the North Pacific Gyre, the center of a series of currents several thousand miles wide that create a circular effect, ensnaring trash and debris. Around and around: bottles, plastic bags, fishnets, clothing, lighters, and myriad other man-made items, held until they disintegrate, make their way to distant seas, or merely bob among the waves before washing up on someone’s beach.
I learned about the Eastern Garbage Patch, also called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, from studies the Algalita Marine Research Foundation, based in Long Beach, California, has conducted while trolling it seven times over the past decade. The foundation’s fieldwork has revealed an ever-growing synthetic sea where particles concentrate by season, trash commutes in the currents from far-off places, and plastic outweighs zooplankton, retarding ocean life. Fascinating stuff. Captain Charles Moore founded the Algalita foundation and commands its research vessel, the Alguita. (Maddeningly similar names, I know.)
Moore first discovered the garbage patch when he crossed the Pacific in 1997 after competing in the Transpacific Yacht Race. Since then he has been passionate about investigating it and creating awareness about its significance—and the significance of the Eastern Garbage Patch is enormous. His findings have gone a long way toward educating the science community, if not yet the public, on the magnitude of marine pollution and its impact on life—all life.
Sitting on the deck of his boat in Hilo Harbor, Hawaii, last January, he tells me about the crew’s next mission, which is just days away: to map the size, content, and density of the Eastern Garbage Patch. The patch, you see, isn’t well understood. People think it’s like a solid mass of trash you’d find at a dump site (I’ve been asked: “Can you walk on it?” “Can you land a plane on it?”), but it’s really diffuse, like “plastic soup,” as Moore describes it.
But don’t for a second think that its mass isn’t substantial. Its sprawl may cover an area as much as one and a half times? the size of the United States, Moore says, and to a depth of 100 feet, if not deeper. But because this rubbish is in the ocean, it drifts. Fragments peel off here and there; some of it drops to the ocean floor. Even for those who do understand the makeup of the garbage patch, its effect on the marine ecosystem is as yet largely unknown.
Moore, 61, is a scruffy sea captain whose blue eyes are both sad and keen. His salt-and-pepper hair is typically covered by an odd-fitting hat (“Die Trying” emblazoned across its brow). He is, as most sailors go, an old salt.
“In the central North Pacific Gyre, pieces of plastic outweigh surface zooplankton by a factor of 6 to 1,” according to a report based on Moore’s research. “Ninety percent of Laysan albatross chick carcasses and regurgitated stomach contents contain plastics. Fish and seabirds mistake plastic for food. Plastic debris releases chemical additives and plasticizers into the ocean. Plastic also adsorbs hydrophobic pollutants like PCBs and pesticides like DDT. These pollutants bioaccumulate in the tissues of marine organisms, biomagnify up the food chain, and find their way into the foods we eat.”
You’ll notice the emphasis on plastics. Most other materials biodegrade or are not as buoyant as plastics, which do not biodegrade. Their resilience is also their menace, as today plastics have invaded the most distant places, from the Bering Sea to the South Pole. Indeed, when I was exploring a remote beach past the South Point of Hawaii, I found pill bottles from India and mashed pieces of various products—oil containers, detergent jugs, plastic caps—with Russian, Korean, and Chinese writing on them. It’s hard to get your brain around these connections. But float these things did, to shore.
