Okay this posting is about what everyone calls the "Fed" - nope, doesn't really mean the "federal government", it means Federal Reserve Bank, an institution that American presidents fought against after the American Revolution. England had a Central Bank, but the USA wanted no part in it.
However, on Dec 23rd in 1913, the day before Christmas Eve, a secret group of bankers made their coup...they got the Federal Reserve Bank made legal while most of the government officials were where? At home enjoying Christmas. Sneaky, huh?
Anyway, the Federal Reserve Bank - I will call it Fed - is not controlled by the United States government! Nope, it's controlled by a group of powerful bankers connected to other bankers globally. And guess who one of the Fed members was? The grandfather of George W Bush. Hmmm....!!
What does the Fed do? Well, they are the ONLY institution that can print and create US money! And, the fed LENDS the money AT INTEREST to the federal government. And the interest is charged to the "People" of the USA. And it is collected through taxes. Some "system".
The "Bush connection" is not by accident. The bankers who really control the Fed decided long ago that politicians should not be running the world, and certainly not "we the people" - in the opinion of the bankers, THEY - the bankers - should be running the world.
The US has already decided on a "plan" to institute the "amero" for possible currency/money in a future combining of Mexico, Canada and the USA into the "North American Union". Just like the "euro" which is the currency of the European Union. Haven't heard about the "amero" yet? Can you use google?? Give it a whirl.
However, towards the end of George W Bush's term, when the bankers saw the US populace beginning to favour Obama, the Feds decided they had to make their biggest move ever towards global domination. How did they do that?
They previously noted that greed in the mortgage market had gone "over the top", and that huge mortgage companies, and banks, would be getting into trouble. So they set things in motion to speed up the troubles...and lo and behold there was a mortgage meltdown in the USA, and banks and huge mortgage lenders were caught off guard.
The Fed set up a rescue plan - a "bailout" - and they got to pick and choose who to save and who to let fail. They persuaded the US government to allow the Fed to create $700 BILLION dollars as a bailout fund. And, the clever Fed, they bought SHARES - preferred shares no less - in the banks they decided to "rescue". Now the Fed owns part of the banks, buying their way in for "pennies on the dollar". And remember, the interest on those dollars is owed by "the People" (taxpayers) even though the People didn't create the downturn or failures at all. So US citizens are paying heavily, with interest, for the mistakes of greedy businesses. Hmmm.....
Meanwhile, the defaulted USA mortgages and the various "derivitives" and mortgage-backed securities set up around them, were starting to cause other banks to fail all around the world. The sellers of those "securities" were, for the most parts, sales people from the Wall Street firms that failed and had to be bailed out! And soon stock markets were collapsing, not just in the USA, but in dozens of countries. Made in America, and exported around the world. What a horrible legacy!
Then, when the World Monetary Fund (WMF) got down to their last $250 million, guess what? The Fed in the USA "opened a window" to let the WMF borrow (yup, "at interest") any amount of US dollars they wanted. ho-ho-ho. Plus there are zillions of contracts around the world in USD, created over the previous years, that have to be repaid in USD. All of this should insure that the USD doesn't collapse right away, since people will need them to repay loans, but what will happen when the loans ARE repaid? Don't know, but the USD is going to be very very cheap in all probability.
Meanwhile the Central Bankers around the world are combining their efforts to act more and more "in harmony" together, with the probable aim of establishing a world government. Maybe - after seeing the stupidity of nationalistic governments and wars globally, one can imagine their horror at letting "lesser people" than themselves control things. Maybe this motivates them??
There is one slight problem in all of this. It's Canada!
Canada, according to the UN and The Economist, has the strongest and safest banking system in the world. Yes, for those of you who don't know, stronger and safer than Switzerland. They stuck with the "chartered bank system" and were conservative when the USA was getting quite fast and loose with strictness re banks. The result: Canada might not be capitulating too fast at all. And with all that oil in Alberta, and probably Saskatchewan too, and the greatest supply of fresh water left in North America, hmmmmm....those Canadian dollars just might be a good investment. And if there ever was a merging of the 3 North American economies into one, chances are the Canadians would get a healthy slice of the ameros if they come into being.
So Canada is the country to watch, folks. More on this later when I get inspired again.

Plants vs Synthetic Drugs
Have you ever wondered why the majority of medicines are from the earth, sky and water?
Aspirin is made from the inner lining of willow bark. (The versions sold now are "synthetic" and are supposed to be just as good, but I for one, do not believe that).
Curcumin or curcuma is a natural substance, bright yellow in colour, that is found in the root of the tumeric plant. It gives curry that "yellow colour". It contains curcuminoids that have anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial qualities also. It has been used with animals to halt the spread and formation of cancer cells in the body. Investigate! It is also claimed that it helps prevent macular degeneration of the eyes.
Salt - in its natural form, can lower blood pressure, in the form normally sold as "sea salt" - but since people love that easy-flowing salt that doesn't clog up small holes in salt shakers, the chemists added chemicals to salt to make it free flowing. As a result, however, salt with that additive typically raises blood pressure! Hmmmmm....
Pine needle tea and cedar-tea, was reportedly used in 1535 to save the life of an early explorer - Jacques Cartier - and half of his crewman. And that is because pine needle tea is one of the richest sources of Vitamin C in the world - and - it's cheap! Just pick and create a broth or tea. Don't boil !!
Best to use SOME of the new growth at the end of each branch in the early Spring (pale green in colour)...
Chia seeds kept Indian runners healthy for up to one day, and renews energy in the body. The mind feels energized as well.
Freshly squeezed lemon juice mixed with unpasteurized honey and used on pancakes, or just lemon juice in a glass of water, not only will help keep you healthy - it is reportedly one way to keep from getting kidney stones. I bet you didn't hear this from your doctor ! (P.S. most kidney stones are caused by 2 of our favourite snacks: chocolate, and nuts. How sad...)
And speaking of sweetness - natural sugars in fruit and unpasteurized honey are the best sources of sweetness for your body. The enemy of your body is any kind of refined sugar. Another reason why refined foods are the worst thing you can do to your body.
And nuts - one of the healthiest foods on the planet! Don't shell them! Use nut crackers to break the shell and eat the interior nut, raw - if safe and available. The only people who should avoid nuts, or those subject to kidney stones.
Coffee - well, here is one item that has hundreds of studies showing it is good for you, and probably hundreds of studies that show it isn't good for you. What to do? Get green coffee beans - and roast them at home - and drink within one week of grinding the cooked beans. The amazing thing is that it will probably taste sweet - most coffee, eaten right after grinding, is naturally sweet! The problem with buying ground coffee beans in stores is that the distribution process means that much of our coffee is really stale. That's why your favourite cup of java might taste bitter. Once you taste really fresh coffee - it's going to be very hard to go back to those fast-food coffee places again. You'll be in the minority of course, but most very-healthy people ARE in the minority!
The secret of making non-acidic coffee: this one from a century old cook book used by early settlers: Grind up some coffee beans very very fine. Store in a large sealed bottle full of water and the ground coffee. Leave for one week in a fridge. Then remove, and strain - even one cup at a time...and heat it up. Nice smooth non-acidic coffee, no bitter taste. Hmmmm!!!
Which cooking oil do you use? Corn oil? Canola oil? Investigate before using these for cooking....it is hard to beat the healthier oils, such as grape-seed oil, or sesame seed oil, or virgin cold-pressed olive oil.
More to come about health.....stay tuned
