Chemotherapy Causes Growth of Cancer Tumors
Tuesday, August 07, 2012
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
Editor of NaturalNews.com
(NaturalNews) Ever since chemotherapy was introduced into the practice of western medicine, doctors and oncologists have been trying to answer this nagging question: Why does chemotherapy seem to work at first, but then cancer tumors cells grow back even more aggressively while the body becomes resistant to chemotherapy?
It turns out that chemotherapy damages healthy cells, causing them to secrete a protein that accelerates the growth of cancer tumors.

MORE State Domination!
Here, the State of Michigan sends a swat team and a TANK... to take a 13 year old child from her mother just because her mother refused to give her daughter a very powerful & dangerous psychotic drug. The mother ended up in jail for 5 days... and her daughter in a psychiatric hospital. For TEN months, this mother fought in court to regain the custody of her daughter. SHE WON! The judge said that the state's taking, through DHS, of the child was unconstitutional and that her mother, NOT THE STATE, had medical authority over her child!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!! THIS COULD BE YOU NEXT!!!!!!!!

Total State Domination...Think Not?
Then think again my fellow Americans!
First we have California declaring war on small, local fresh milk farmers and distributors. Also, Maine's Department of Agriculture targets Farmer Brown for selling food without licenses, specifically milk, assorted dairy products like ice cream and cheese, and processed items like pickles and jams even though the town's Local Food and Community Self-Governance Ordinance says he can.
Secondly we have the state of Michigan criminalizing small, local ranchers and animal operations.
And if that isn't enough, a city in Michigan then criminalizes having your own vegetable garden!
Thirdly, we have the city of Tulsa, OK tearing up a woman's perfectly legal herb garden, a Portsmouth, NH woman being fined for planting flowers, a Georgia man was fined nearly $7,000 after inadvertently repainting his house the wrong shade of blue, and in Louisiana, homeowners sued for placing a banner on their front lawn honoring a family member who died during active military service.
Fourthly, with the passage of the NDAA Bill, the president has nullified our right to due process, free speech is constantly being eroded, and small, local farmers will be devastated once the Food Safety Modernization Act kicks in.
What's next? Maybe the state owns the sunlight that falls on your yard, or the air above it and you'll be fined for stealing that?! And then, most likely... TAXED for breathing it in or using it! When will the American people stand up, say.. ENOUGH is ENOUGH, and stop this insanity???

What I learned from the Federal Reserve Bank
I called the Boston FRB (617-973-3000) and talked to woman named Grace.
I asked her if it was true that banks cashed in our mortgage notes to the FRB and that the FRB now possesses the original notes? She told me that the FRB is only in charge of STATE banks and have no charge over NATIONAL banks. (Which BoA & Countrywide are). She then told me that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (1-855-411-2372 URL: www.consumerfinance.gov) is in charge of the national banks and I should contact them.
Now, all of this transpired BEFORE I got some info from a prominent lawyer who worked with the FRB (which is included below), otherwise I would have had asked them if my bank had pledged my loan for a borrowing there and had them check. So, I still plan to subpoena them on Aug. 1st.
I called the CFPB and spoke to a woman named Amanda. I told her my story, and she wrote out a complaint for me. She put it in my own words, and asked several questions like did I think there was any discrimination, if so, what kind. Was I a service member and what did I think a fair resolution would be. She then gave me a case number, and my complaint will be sent ASAP to the bank. The bank then has 15 days to respond. I then will review their response and if it's not satisfactory or incorrect, I will tell the CFPB why, and I can ask for them to investigate. If the CFPB finds that there is any wrong doing, they can take action against the bank.
This is very good info for everyone, and I strongly advise homeowners in foreclosure, or who have been foreclosed on, to go and file a complaint. It can't hurt, and it'll help bring to the government more of the TRUE numbers of the banks illegal and fraudulent foreclosures.
********************************
Info from lawyer:
It is possible that the FRBNY or another Federal Reserve Bank has your note IF Countrywide/Bank of America pledged it to secure a borrowing there. However, I think it is more likely that the note went to MERS (the national electronic registration system) or the trust fund, as you noted below. You could send an information subpoena to FRBNY or FRBRichmond (home district for Bank of America) or, given your location, FRBBoston to see if they have your original note. What you ask for is not unreasonable. They would, however, regard it as unreasonable to send a lawyer to bring the original into court and then to bring it back at the end of the day. I suggest that you ask them (a) do you have my note? and (b), if so, would you please copy the front and back and all allonges and a copy of the cover sheet(s) and the page listing your note in the bank’s ledger? In connection with (b), it should suffice with the court if the Reserve Bank sends you a separate letter certifying that it has the note and that the enclosure/attachment is a true copy, with the certification signed by the Reserve Bank officer in charge of the custody of your note and bearing the Bank’s corporate seal applied by the Bank secretary’s office. If the judge still wants to see the original note, let him or her be the bad guy asking the Bank for the note, not you. You also might ask the Reserve Bank to tell you (a) what collateral value it placed on your note and (b) how much remains outstanding secured by your note. If the Bank once upon a time had your note and then returned it, to whom did the Bank return it?

For The People Joins In The Request For A Congressional Investigation Hearing!
For The People is joining in the request of Arizona's Sheriff Joe Arpaio that there be a Congressional Investigation Hearing into his cold case investigation unit's findings about President Obama's birth certificate.
Here is Sheriff Arpaio's July, 17, 2012 press release:
EXHAUSTIVE INQUIRY LEADS TO NEW INFORMATION
SHERIFF’S INVESTIGATORS: “PRESIDENT’S LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS UNDOUBTEDLY A FRAUD”
HAWAII IMMIGRATION LOOPHOLE COULD POSE NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERN,
SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO SAYS
(Phoenix, AZ) Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, along with Cold Case Posse Lead Investigator Mike Zullo, held a news conference today regarding information stemming from an exhaustive examination into President Obama’s long form birth certificate.
Zullo told reporters that the information he developed confirms that the document presented to the American public by the White House in April 2011 is undoubtedly fraudulent.
The information developed during this stage of the investigation which underscores the fraudulent nature of the LFBC certificate was based partially upon an interview with the person whose signature actually appears on it.
Furthermore, the investigators conducted a close examination of Hawaii’s laws pertaining to registered births. Those laws essentially provide easy access to a Hawaii birth certificate, even if neither parent is a U.S. citizen. A birth certificate is a legal document which provides “proof” that an individual was born in the United States. It automatically grants a person U.S. citizenship. The investigation shows the way in which Hawaii officials currently distribute birth certificates may pose a serious flaw to our national security.
The Sheriff’s investigation into the President’s birth certificate authenticity question began in October, 2011, after 250 concerned Maricopa County citizens approached Sheriff Arpaio saying they had reason to believe that the electronic document presented in an April, 2011, news conference from the White House to the American public, as well as the citizens of Maricopa County, was a forgery.
Arpaio promised to look into the matter. Six months into the investigation, Sheriff’s Cold Case Posse concluded that there is probable cause to believe that the Obama’s birth certificate as well as his Selective Service registration card were, in fact, suspected forgeries.
How the investigators reached that conclusion was detailed in a March 1, 2012 press conference held by Sheriff Arpaio and Mike Zullo, the lead investigator in the matter. (March 1 press release)
Since the public disclosure of those initial findings in March, Sheriff’s investigators tracked down a number of witnesses including persons of interest during a trip to the State of Hawaii in the furtherance of their investigation.
The Sheriff’s Cold Case Posse uncovered the following information which advances the assertion that a fraud has occurred:
“If a nation’s security is only as strong as its weakest link, then America may be in serious trouble. Hawaii may be our weakest link and could have a serious impact on our nation’s immigration policy,” Arpaio says.
Arpaio and his investigators have learned that for decades and remaining today, Hawaii has extremely loose policies regarding birth records - who can acquire them and how they are distributed. Additionally, those policies in Hawaii state law appear to be in direct contradiction to U.S. Immigration policy.
Under Hawaii statute, a person only has to be an established resident of Hawaii, not necessarily a U.S. citizen, in that state and pay taxes there for one year to be able to register an out of state or foreign born person with an official Hawaii birth certificate.
The law, Hawaii Revised Statute 338-17.8 states:
“Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.”
Sheriff Arpaio and his investigators have grave concerns about this Hawaii Revised Statute believing it could be a gaping loophole that makes it possible for foreign born people to legally establish U.S. citizenship even if neither parent is an American citizen.
It is important to note that although this state law was not established until the early 1980’s long after President Obama’s birth, the laws that were in effect in 1961 were also researched by investigators and contain many similar concerns which allowed unattended births to be registered by persons simply knowing of the birth’s occurrence.
Sheriff Arpaio says, “Often investigations into one matter lead law enforcement officials to other issues of serious concern. This Hawaiian law may be a serious threat to national security and needs to be immediately addressed by the U.S. Government.”
Considering the fact that Hawaii appears to be very lax in its distribution of birth certificates, it is possible, though certainly not proven, that President Obama, through the actions of others, may have benefitted by the ease with which one can obtain a birth certificate proving U.S. citizenship.
Arpaio says his investigators will continue to delve into this matter but ultimately this investigation needs to be given to the proper authority to further.
“Through the hard work of Mike Zullo and his team of investigators we have pointed out some inconsistencies, or oddities, relating to the President’s birth certificate. Taken one by one they may not be terribly concerning. But put them altogether and they paint a picture of deception that requires a federal inquiry,” Arpaio says.
“My hope is that the U.S. Congress will take over from here if not to further the birth certificate forgery possibility, then at least to examine the state of Hawaii’s laws in regards to the issuance of birth certificates which may be permitting untold numbers of foreign born people to wrongly gain U.S. citizenship,” Arpaio says.

Since the public disclosure of those initial findings in March, Sheriff’s investigators tracked down a number of witnesses including persons of interest during a trip to the State of Hawaii in the furtherance of their investigation.
The Sheriff’s Cold Case Posse uncovered the following information which advances the assertion that a fraud has occurred:
- Investigators learned that Hawaii Department of Health utilizes a coding system defined by the federal government to categorize and code the required information on all Birth Certificates registered by the state including those registered in 1961. This process involves writing specific number codes by hand and in pencil, placed next to relevant information contained on the birth certificate. The coding numbers seen on the President’s LFBC are not consistent with the coding responses required by the federal government to match the information presented. The incorrect codes indicate that the President’s LFBC has been altered or amended. (click here for video explanation)
- Investigators tracked down the person who was the local registrar at the time of Obama’s birth who allegedly signed and coded the document which Obama now says proves his birth place as Hawaii. Verna K. Lee, now a 95 year-old woman, allegedly signed the document on August 8, 1961. She provided information about the vital information codes and their corresponding meanings. The information she provided challenges the President’s claim that his birthplace in 1961 was the Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital.
- Sheriff’s investigators in Hawaii were stymied by the state registrar of the Hawaii Department of Health, Alvin Onaka, as well as the Attorney General’s Office in Honolulu when investigators asked to compare the White House version of the LFBC to the original document presumably held in Hawaii. Investigators met with the Hawaii Assistant Attorney General, Jill Nagamine. Nagamine refused to give Sheriff’s investigators permission to see the original birth documentation held by the Hawaii Department of Health which was used to create the President’s long form birth certificate. Furthermore, Nagamine refused to verify whether the PDF birth certificate released by the White House is in fact an exact copy of the document released to the President’s attorneys.
“If a nation’s security is only as strong as its weakest link, then America may be in serious trouble. Hawaii may be our weakest link and could have a serious impact on our nation’s immigration policy,” Arpaio says.

Law of the Sea Treaty, is your Senator supporting it?
The Right Scoop writes "Some things never die, including the Law of the Sea Treaty. Negotiated in the 70s, LOST is back and according the Obama administration, more essential than ever".
"The Obama Administration is pushing for accession to the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which would expose the United States to baseless environmental lawsuits, including suits based on alleged U.S. contributions to global climate change. Accession would also require the U.S. to transfer billions of dollars in oil and gas royalties generated on its continental shelf to UNCLOS member states, particularly landlocked states and states that are the least developed.
The U.S. does not need to join the convention in order to access oil and gas resources located on its extended continental shelf (ECS), the Arctic, or the Gulf of Mexico. Instead, it can and should use bilateral treaties with neighboring countries to demarcate the limits of its maritime and continental shelf boundaries.
If the U.S. becomes a member of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, it will be required to transfer a large portion of the royalties generated on the U.S. extended continental shelf to the International Seabed Authority. These royalties may likely total tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars. The Authority may then distribute those funds to developing and landlocked nations, including some that are corrupt, undemocratic, or even state sponsors of terrorism. Instead of diverting U.S. revenues to such dubious purposes, the U.S. government should retain any wealth derived from the U.S. extended continental shelf for the benefit of the American people." says The Heritage Foundation.
The Right Scoop further writes "In sum, LOST is bad news. Bad news for the energy industry, the economy and national sovereignty. So why are we still short the requisite 34 votes needed to kill ratification of the treaty? This is where you come in. It only takes two minutes to make a phone call. Senator McConnell said, “I don’t support it, of course, and I don’t think it will pass.” Sources also indicate Senator Corker is close to changing his vote. But let’s make sure LOST is dead in the water.
***UPDATE
Keep up the good work. The Hill is reporting Senator Johanns is no longer supporting LOST, meaning only three more “no” votes are necessary to kill ratification". (Thanks to The Right Scoop for the senators listing above as well!)
For The People couldn't agree more and urges everyone in the above mentioned senators states to write them and tell them to vote NO! We lose our sovereignty each day Congress sits and passes bills, laws and regulations like this. So, let's not be silent anymore and SPEAK OUT LOUD & CLEAR... that We the People say... ENOUGH ALREADY by sending them emails, tweeting them, calling them and tell them... DO NOT RATIFY LOST. I DID! Won't you stand with me and do so too?

GMO Babies Exist!
U.S. researchers create 30 genetically modified human babies
(NaturalNews) US fertility researchers from the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of Saint Barnabas in New Jersey have created 30 healthy babies who have been genetically altered. It has been confirmed that two of these children have the DNA of three parents.
The babies were created when women were treated for infertility by Professor Jacques Cohen and his team. Their eggs had defects in tiny structures in their egg cells called mitochondria. They had mitochondria from donor eggs inserted into these eggs, as well as DNA from sperm cells. The mitochondria contain DNA and therefore have carried the donor DNA into the egg. The babies will now pass on this genetic change to their children down the maternal line when they reproduce.
Professor Cohen is regarded as a controversial but brilliant pioneer in the world of reproductive medicine. His work on helping infertile couples has resulted in advances in the ability to help infertile men have their own offspring, by inserting genetic material from sperm into egg cells so that donor sperm is not required. However, many see that some of his research, and some of his claims, to be a step too far, such as the claim that he could clone children.
Worthless and dangerous tinkering
Lord Winston, of the Hammersmith Hospital in West London, told the BBC yesterday: "Regarding the treatment of the infertile, there is no evidence that this technique is worth doing . . . I am very surprised that it was even carried out at this stage. It would certainly not be allowed in Britain."A spokesman for the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HFEA) agreed that due to the possibility of altering the human germ line, it would not license the technique in Britain. However, the less rigid rules on fertilization treatment in other countries mean that this kind of technology could allow modifications to the gene pool worldwide. Whilst these are the first "healthy" babies that have been genetically modified, the long term effects of carrying DNA from three parents is not known.
The technique used could allow the parents of a child to choose a third parent with traits they wish their children to have, such as being taller, and would open up the whole debate about the ethics of designer babies. As a species, we have to be very careful that our inventions, such as this technique, do not cause damage to the genes of our future descendants.

New Danger at the Fukushima Reactor
(NaturalNews) - Measurements taken recently at the tsunami-damaged Fukushima nuclear complex in northern Japan have revealed record levels of radiation contamination, officials with the plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company, said.
The elevated contamination levels were discovered in the basement of reactor No. 1, officials said - a discovery that will further delay and impede operations aimed at cleaning up the site. It was the first internal measurement carried out since three of the plant's nuclear reactors were damaged by a tsunami caused by a major earthquake off Japan's northeastern coast in March 2011.
TEPCO engineers reportedly gathered samples from the basement after inserting a camera and consulting measuring instruments through a drain hole located in the ceiling of the basement.
The company said radiation levels above radiation-contaminated water in the basement measured as high as 10,300 millisievert per hour - a dose plenty high enough to kill human beings in short order after making them sick within minutes.
Radiation levels even higher than anticipated
Put another way, the annual allowable dose for plant workers at the site is reached in just 20 seconds. One report said the dose was enough to kill humans in less than an hour.
"Workers cannot enter the site and we must use robots for the demolition," said TEPCO, in a statement.
TEPCO official, Junichi Matsumoto said he believed there was a higher radiation level in the No. 1 reactor because more fuel rods than suspected melted down following the incident.
The power company said radiation levels there were 10 times what they have measured at the plant's other damaged reactors, numbers two and three. In all, the Fukushima plant contained six reactors.
The meltdown of the reactors came after the tsunami managed to cut power to their cooling systems.
The plan now is to demolish the three damaged reactors, as well as the plant's No. 4 unit, but that is expected to take 40 years and will require use of new technologies.
New danger - the weather
Meanwhile, Fukushima now faces yet another impending typhoon season, which could result in even more damage and contamination at the site.
Already this season Typhoon Guchol has hit Japan, which led to warnings of floods and landslides from the Japan Meteorological Agency.
Typhoons are common to Japan this time of year so that part is nothing new. But given the exposure and vulnerability of the Fukushima Daichai plant, the risk of a violent storm causing even more calamity is real.
A major tornado also struck in the latter part of June, killing a teenage boy, injuring 50 others and destroying houses and property.
Scientists are particularly worried about twisters hitting the damaged plant.
"Uranium spent fuel pools of No. 3 and No. 4 reactors are currently naked," Kazuhiko Kudo, a research professor of nuclear engineering at Kyushu University, said June 5. "A tornado with winds of 100 meters per second like the one that hit Tsukuba could suck up the pool water," exposing the fuel rods, he said.
