2011 is Here

The Governor John Kasich of Ohio killed Ohio’s high speed rail project. Republicans claim that Democrats don’t want to help create private sector jobs. There is the Recovery Act that created a number of jobs. Kasich wanted to improve the atmosphere to allow business development. He killed the Ohio high speed rail project. This allowed many businesses to be derailed to create real jobs even among the private sector. One business person called his decision as unbelievable, mind boggling, and naïve. It only cost 15 million dollars. It would send back 400 and 800 million dollars in free money according to Mike Pracht (or the President and chief executive officer of the Columbus based railroad car manufacturer). The Cleveland developer Forest City Enterprises was  planning projects that would form $180 million of taxable property. Dayton, OH anticipated about 250 million dollars worth of downtown development around the rail station in Columbus, OH. The rial line was expected to spur business development. This can form a link between Downtown and Port Columbus. This similar decision cost Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI) private sector jobs also. Kasich is doing this against his campaign promises since this policy isn’t creating private sector jobs. Rob Nichols said that this policy will cost taxpayers. Kasich is willing though to spend money to pay for security improvements at his own private residence. Ohioans will now pay for “around-the clock security at the Kasich home” as well as at the official residence. This caused a 7 point drop in his approval rating before he’s even taken office. Kasich is not rethinking the high speed rail. He has these economic policies that can drive the state into economic oblivion. Many Republicans don’t care about the poor or building infrastructure. That’s typical of them.

I will never forget that eugenics existed then and now. Even now, the pharmaceutical industry promote poisons (and use people as guinea pigs, get thousands of dollars of kickbacks, and use drugs in Africa for testing). Many of these drugs have bad side effects. There are also think tank front type people like a McWorther who promote the lie that all of the problems of African Americans are self inflicted (This is common among numerous conservatives in general). Shelby Steele is put in the scene by reactionaries. He recieved $200,000 from the Bradley Foundation. This foundation funds Charles Murray (who promotes the racist Bell Curve book). Eugenics in the modern sense came out of America and Europe. Even War Connerly got money from the pro-eugenics Pioneer Fund (its founders praised Adolf Hitler). They want people to assimilate to a wicked culture.

Neotame is found to be more toxic than aspartame. Some want an independent investigation of its effects on people without studies funded by the manufacturer. Monsanto is promoting its new potent version of its synthetic sweetener since its patent for aspartame is running out. Monsanto added  3-dimethylbutyl (a chemical the Environmental Protection Agency lists as hazardous) to aspartame, scientists at Monsanto drastically increased the sweetening power of the additive. The new version was named neotame. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved neotame in 2002. It has been approved for usage in Australia and New Zealand, yet Europe hasn't accepted it yet. Neotame is heat stable and it’s far sweeter than aspartame. It can be used in baked goods. Neotame can be between 7,000 to 13,000 times as sweet as sugar. It’s about 30 times sweeter than its cousin aspartame. There is only a tiny amoung needed of neotame to be dangerous. Neotame can be camouflaged in the term “natural flavors” and it can be in foods not listed in the label. The reason is that the FDA don’t require lables to include ingredients that make up less than 1 percent of the product. Neotame is directly available to consumers. Several hundred different food products, often blended with other synthetic sweeteners. Products that have aspartame must include a caution for individuals who can’t tolerate phenylalanine in it. Some manufacturers hid aspartame in foods, supplements, and medicines by saying just that it has “phenylalanine.” Some people believe that Mosnanto refuses to make real studies on neotame. The non-profit group, Truth in Labeling, gained access to some of the neotame studies. They write, “At the time of our review of Monsanto’s application, three human studies on the safety of neotame were presented. The studies had few subjects, all of whom were employees of the company. Some of the subjects reported headaches after ingesting neotame, but the researchers concluded that the headaches were not related to neotame ingestion. Not mentioned in the studies was the fact that migraine headache is, by far, the most commonly reported adverse reaction to aspartame in the files of the FDA.” H.J. Roberts, MD wants more extensive studying of neotame since the FDA followed a limited short term data study with flawed protocols. He studied the effects of aspartame for many years. He accused some of these neotame studies as being funded by corporate contracts. There are few studies done on the side effects of Neotame. Some were done by NutraSweet Company researchers (or a review of earlier work). One study shown the rats don’t like neotame and they wouldn’t eat it until they reduced the dosage drastically. It is hard to escape the nagging feeling that the appropriate studies on safety, neurotoxicity, immunology, development, and safety during pregnancy, are just not there. In the 21st century, you have to be careful of your health even more.
Popular culture is being exposed more. There is a Nickelodeon’s show called the House of Anubis coming in America. It will come in January 2011. It already aired in Belgium and the Netherlands. The show is a show about children living in a boarding school. One school is missing a person and a person is replaced. All of the people in the boarding school have something to hide. There are pagan symbols in the film too. The show wants to unlock the secrets of the show. Most of the children are British and talk with a British accent. One person hides one eye. This person is under the control of the owner of the House of Anubis. One scene has a member with a robe on showing the hand sign of the Golden Dawn (that is common for the Rocafella group). This hand sign has been used for decades to perform occult rituals or ceremonies. The House of Anubis’ logo is the Eye of Horus of course. Anubis is the ancient Egyptian god of mummification and the afterlife. The deal is Anubis prepares people for the afterlife. He keeps the sovereignty of souls. He decides the fate of people in a scale of justice. He is depicted as a half jackal, half human being. He wears a ribbon and a flail in the crook of its arm. Anubis is the son of Ra. This series certainly will present kids with many occult images beyond just the Eye of Horus. Another symbol is the man with horns on a door. This is akin to the Druid images of a face of a man. This show is like a new generation of a Harry Potter like series (in order to take serious real concepts of life like laws in science, exposing real conspiracies, and believing in the equality of the human race. You can look at the Bilderberg Group to witness elitists in action). Many teachers in UK boarding schools are Freemasons.


Booker T. Washington wasn't perfect. Yet, he did the right thing in many arenas. Washington disagreed with W.E.B. DuBois since Washington wanted a business development plan to help the black community. DuBois desired a group of the Talented Tenth to intellectually develop the African American community. The truth is that there should be both intellectual growth and business development of the black community. One problem today is that some of the Talented Tenth now either aren't helping the poor out in a real way or don't know how to effectively help the poor of the black community. The left establishment demonized Washington so much that some of them view Washington as equivalent to a real sellout like a Jesse Lee Peterson. You can disagree with some of Washington's views, but he always had sincere love for his own people. Even Washington was the President of the National Negro Business League that was W.E.B. DuBois's idea. Thousands of professionals graduated from the Tuskegee Institute. DuBois was apart of the invention of the NAACP. The NAACP help to make successful legal challenges to help African Americans to achieve political and legal liberties. Ironically, other militants view the NAACP as not radical enough in the 1960's. Ironically, DuBois did view Washington as not radical enough (like Monroe Trotter). Washington was right to ask whether Trotter and his friends would try to pull a stunt (in trying to disrupt a Booker T. Washington spech) in a white church.  DuBois had mixed views on Washington. He once supported and then opposed Washington's Atlanta Compromise Speech. (in his book called "The Souls of Black Folk"). He resigned from the integrationist NAACP to promote a limited type of segregation for blacks.  Washington was consistent with his views. Tuskegee grew in power and influence in 25 yerars. Louis R. Harlan said that Booker T. Washington privately gave money and action to fight against lynching, disenfranchisement, peonage, educational discrimination, and segregation. Washington was sometimes too accommodating to the establishment, but he sincerely wanted his own people to improve themselves from a social and political standpoint. Yet, the early NAACP wasn't some god like group either. NAACP board member Oswald Villard (or a white philanthropist) refused to socialize with DuBois when he was supposedly devoted to integration. Washington was right that you need economic development (the Tuskegee graduates back then were competitive with whites) and self sufficiency. DuBois was right that you need to fight for political changes in a radical sense to develop a more equal society. So, this era after the Civil War to 1929 was complex and not black and white as some would have you to believe. Also, the left gatekeepers forgotten that in 1894, Booker T. Washington appeared before the House Committee on Appropriations. He wanted black men to be able to vote in the South. Washington didn't blame blacks collectively for the problems in the black community, but the institution of slavery being one large origin of these problems. Washington had his shortcomings, but he wasn't some Uncle Tom. He was a man. He used his bare hands to build a great center of learning to benefit his own people. Both Washington and DuBois (though both men weren't perfect) should be celebrated for the legitimate concepts that they have promoted in the world.
