A recent study into the carcinogenic qualities of the much-used sweetener product aspartame has proved without a doubt that it is essentially a deadly toxin. And yet time and time again industry insiders have done all they could to prevent news like this from going public. Photo credit: Ronald Hudson Go back twenty five years and the evidence was there already - documentation exists as to tumors of the brain, ovaries, uterus, mammaries, testicles, thyroid and pancreas brought on by this malignant chemical, and these were all presented to the FDA. The result was that aspartame was denied approval, but this was quickly overturned by people in high places with a vested interest in the success of aspartame, as you …

The mass-media have a long history of creating and reinforcing stereotypes, whether they be founded in gender, race, class or culture. And now, in the so-called \’war on terror\’ years, this caricaturing of cultures is helping to create a monumental clash of civilizations. In politics, as on TV, fear sells. And the easiest way to create fear in a population is to create a nefarious, shadowy \’Other\’, an Other so far removed from our beliefs, ethics and way of life as to seem all but inhuman. The Nazis, pioneers of mass-media propaganda, managed to convince a nation that it was being bled dry by the Jews, communists, gypsies, and anyone else that they could scapegoat. With relentless repetition and indoctrination …

The Autism Society of America defines autism: "a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the normal functioning of the brain, impacting development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills." Photo credit: Time Magazine The international scientific community officially states that the causes of autism are still unclear and therefore we seem to be still far from seeing an effective cure for this disease. However, recent studies have brought to light interesting results that might actually open new paths for research. We have already published an article which introduced us to a new perspective on autism by disclosing the likely connections between …

"Autism is classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) and American Psychological Association as a developmental disability that results from a disorder of the human central nervous system. It is diagnosed using specific criteria for impairments to social interaction, communication, interests, imagination and activities. The causes, symptoms, etiology, treatment, and other issues are controversial." (Source: Wikipedia) Photo credit: SIU According to the major world institutions dealing with health the causes of autism are still very unclear and researchers are studying a wide range of possible genetic and environmental causes. Since the way autism manifests itself is different for each individual, there are many who support the idea that autism is likely caused by multiple "causes" that interact with each other …

The Federal Reserve is America\’s Central Bank, owned by an unnamed corporate cartel, given a license to print money, and holding significant sway over the national government and economy. If it were dissolved tomorrow, the average tax-payer would doubtless be a lot better off. But we couldn\’t do that, could we? Photo credit: Bluestock The Republic of Panama has managed just fine without a Central Bank for over a hundred years, and in actual fact, if you compare the rate of inflation between Panama and the USA over the last twenty years, Panama comes out a lot better off every step of the way. Without the ability to conjure money out of thin air, to suit the needs of private …

It is hard to calculate how many times you might have encountered the phrases "war on terror", "Islamo-Fascist", "IED", "9/11", \’\'ground zero" and "weapons of mass destruction" in the space of your life. Repetition of buzz-words and key phrases are key to any successful propaganda campaign, and as these ideas bounce around the mass-media echo chamber, it is impossible to avoid them becoming a part of our shared language and pool of ideas. But what happens when the propaganda and spin gain such power and traction that the actions of our political leaders spiral out of control? Photo credit: PRWatch.org The answer is what the military calls \’\'incestuous amplification\’\', defined by David Mulholland as: \’\'a condition in warfare where one …

The US government spends billions every year to finance scientific research and yet a country like America has an epidemic of heart diseases, diabetes, depression, anxiety disorders and environmental diseases which is impressive if compared to underdeveloped countries. Photo credit: Geo Martinez Why, after so many years of huge research investments, aren't we closer to eliminating these diseases? And why do you think pharmaceutical companies and conventional medicine have such a strong bias against any alternative approach that doesn\’t involve the assumption of pharmaceutical products that have often been proved harmful? Gary Null, a popular member of the Nutrition Institute of America, has produced a shocking video documentary that explores the relationships that exist between lawmakers, lobbyists, medical schools and …
