Share Print Font: +-NEW YORK — Johnson & Johnson's consumer-product distress worsened on Wednesday as the company recalled 12 million bottles of over-the-counter Mylanta and almost 85,000 bottles of its AlternaGel liquid antacid.
J&J said the actions, which it described as "wholesale and retail level" recalls, were taken because the presence of small amounts of alcohol from flavoring agents was not noted on product packaging.
"It is unlikely that use of these products will cause either alcohol absorption or alcohol sensitivity adverse events," the company said on its Mylanta website.
Although wholesalers and retail outlets are obliged to clear their shelves of the products, the company said consumers may continue to use the medicines, which contained concentrations of less than 1 percent alcohol.

..The brands are manufactured as part of a 50/50 joint venture with Merck & Co, formed to develop and make nonprescription drugs primarily derived from Merck's prescription drugs.
J&J said the products were made at the joint venture's plant in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. A J&J plant in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, has been shut down to fix hygiene problems and other quality control lapses that in the past year have forced huge recalls of J&J's own iconic consumer brands.
Just a week ago, J&J recalled 9 million bottles of Tylenol because packaging did not adequately inform customers about the presence of trace amounts of alcohol. They were made by a third-party manufacturer.
All told, more than 200 million bottles of J&J products have been recalled in the past year, including painkillers Tylenol and Motrin, allergy treatment Benadryl and Rolaid antacid.
The crisis has harmed J&J's once-pristine image and is beginning to take a significant toll on its financial results. U.S. sales of J&J's consumer products plunged 25 percent in the third quarter as scores of formulations became unavailable and customers opted instead for generic store brands.
Quality-control problems have also hounded J&J's factory in Las Piedras, Puerto Rico, forcing recalls of Benadryl and Tylenol in June.

..Wells Fargo analyst Larry Biegelsen on Tuesday cautioned the U.S. Food and Drug Administration could temporarily shut down or seize the Puerto Rico plant, after having recently inspected it and noting unresolved quality-control lapses in an agency report filed Nov. 2.
The negative report, called a Form 483, follows a similar one issued by the FDA after an inspection of the plant in January and February, Biegelsen said.
Biegelsen said the Puerto Rico plant produces most of the over-the-counter drugs sold in the United States by J&J's McNeil consumer healthcare division.
J&J last week declined to comment whether it may be forced to take special charges to account for the mounting number of recalls.

Saturday, October 30, 2010
Today I called 1-866-658-8367 and complained about cigarette smoking and the RJReynolds company. Becky the CSR said she could not speak with me as I was not a smoker. hmmmmmmmmmm there is an article below that I would think gives me the right to be talked to. My parents both smoked when I was growing up and my 2nd husband was a smoker. Read about second hand smoke and female fertility below.
My father died of lung cancer and now, my son smokes as he was brainwashed by his father's family that smoking was cool. I HAVE A RIGHT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, eh? If you have a hankering to call the number, please do and do a better job than I did, k? It's time we stand up for people that can't seem to stand up for themselves and I damn well believe this is a good place to start.
On the package of my son's Pall Mall package there is a $1.00 off coupon for Camel SNUS. (Pleaure packed in a pouch cleaner, neater, drama free. Warning: This product can cause gum disease and tooth loss.)
Republicans make secret deals with tobacco
EXCERPT:
Nicole Maschke makes a good point. Although the tobacco companies gave far more money to the Democratic for many years, and although Al Gore and many Democratic got rich on tobacco money, times have changed. People vote with their feet and their pocketbook.
Arthritis drug database nsaids
EXCERPT:
Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints. Doctors combat inflammation in several ways, most commonly with the use of non-steroidal inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) or steroids such as prednisone.
For extreme flare-ups your doctor may give you a shot of prednisone directly into your joint, but this has many side effects.
Non-steroidal anti inflammatory agents also have many side effects, particularly gastrointestinal ones but they are easier to take and are generally well tolerated as long as the patient takes them with food.
What is a Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) ?
As their name implies, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (or NSAIDs, as they are commonly called) are medicines that block or inhibit the body's inflammation process without the use of cortisone or other steroid drugs. The most commonly used NSAID's are aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen.
Rheumatoid arthritis and smoking
EXCERPT:
There is a Connection between Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Smoking – what are the Reasons?
Smoking might be a trigger for rheumatoid arthritis.
That smoking is unhealthy really isn’t a secret any more. However, it may be less well known that smoking is especially damaging to patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or people with a genetic predisposition towards this autoimmune disease.
Until a few years ago, a coherent explanation of how smoking triggers the break in immunotolerance and why tobacco smoke promotes the onset of autoimmune disease was still missing. A group of Swedish researchers has found one of the missing links in the pathogenic chain between tobacco smoke and rheumatoid arthritis (Makrygiannakis et al., 2008). The scientists from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm showed that cigarette smoke is directly involved in the development of rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis and tobacco
EXCERPT:
In this issue of the Annals, Freemer et al report an association between smoking and dsDNA autoantibody production in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).1 The authors note that exposure to tobacco smoke has previously been associated with several autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and SLE. In RA, cigarette smoking has been associated with rheumatoid factor (RF) positive but not RF negative disease when these two groups of subjects were evaluated separately.2,3,4 Likewise, smoking has been associated with anti‐cyclic citrullinated antibody (anti‐CCP) positive but not anti‐CCP negative RA.5 In affected subjects, exposure to tobacco has also been associated with several measures of disease severity such as the presence of radiographic erosions, nodules, pulmonary disease, RF, and anti‐CCP antibodies.5,6,7,8

Secondhand smoke affects fertility
Secondhand Smoke Affects Fertility
Living With a Smoker as Damaging to IVF Success as Being a Smoker
WebMD Health NewsMay 25, 2005 -- It's known that smoking can affect a women's fertility, but now a study shows living with a smoker is as damaging as being a smoker.
"Our data demonstrate that the effects of [secondhand smoke] are equally as damaging as [firsthand] smoke on fertility," Michael Neal, PhD, and colleagues write.
Researchers say the effect is so clear they are already warning their patients to avoid exposure to secondhand smoke.
The study appears in the May issue of the journal Human Reproduction.
Smoke Affects Fertility
In the study, 225 women undergoing infertility treatments were asked whether they were nonsmokers, smokers, or living with a partner who smoked regularly. The researchers then compared success rates of the fertility treatments for the three groups.
The women had undergone either in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), an enhanced form of IVF in which a single sperm is injected into the egg.
"Despite similar embryo quality there was a striking difference in implantation and pregnancy rates," they write.
Per embryo transferred:
48% of nonsmokers became pregnant
19% of smokers became pregnant
20% of women living with a smoker became pregnant
The authors note that the study was limited by its reliance on self-reported exposure to secondhand smoke. Although the findings are important, these results will need to be confirmed in another study with more objective measures of cigarette smoke exposure, such as looking at a dose-related effect on fertility, they write.
Despite the need for further study, the researchers say they are already advising patients about the impact of secondhand smoke on fertility. According to researcher Warren Foster, "the findings from our study already warrant a warning to women to reduce or, if possible, prevent exposure to cigarette smoking, especially if they are trying to conceive."
Smokers
Description
An in-depth report on the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of stomach and GI ulcers.
Alternative Names
Duodenal Ulcers; Gastric Ulcers; H. Pylori; Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs, or NSAIDs
Risk Factors
About 25 million American are expected to have peptic ulcers at some point in their lives. Peptic ulcer disease affects all age groups but is rare in children. Men have twice the risk for ulcers as women. The risk for duodenal ulcers tends to rise at around age 25 and continues until age 75; gastric ulcers peak in people between the ages of 55 and 65.
Risk Factors for H. pylori
H. pylori grows and colonizes only in the intestinal tracts of primates and in no other animals. The bacteria is most likely transmitted directly from person to person. Still, little is yet known about its transmission.
Who Harbors H. Pylori? About half of the world's adults are infected with H. pylori. The bacteria, however, are nearly always acquired during childhood and persist throughout life if not treated. The prevalence in children ranges from under 10% to over 80%, depending on where they live. The highest infection rates (3% to 10%) are in developing countries and the lowest (0.5%) are in industrialized nations, where the rates continue to decline. Even within industrialized countries, however, the infection rates in regions that have crowded unsanitary conditions are equal to those in developing countries.
How Does the Bacteria Pass from Person to Person? It is not entirely clear how the bacteria is transmitted. A 2001 Swedish study, for example, did not find that infected students posed any risk for their classmates. Transmission within families may be the most important route for H. pylori. A 2002 study reported that spouses of people with peptic ulcers are at significantly higher risk for ulcers, suggesting that the bacteria may be transmitted from intimate contact. Some evidence suggests that it is transmissible during gastrointestinal tract illness, particularly when vomiting occurs. The bacteria also may be passed in stools. Since H. pylori can live in water, but not apparently in food, then the bacteria may also be spread by sewage-contaminated water.
Who is at Risk for Ulcers from H. Pylori? Although H. pylori infection is very common, ulcers are very rare in children and only a minority of infected adults develops ulcers. Some known risk factors include smoking, being male, and the presence of the cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA). Experts are unable to determine, however, any single factor or group of factors that could determine which infected patients are most likely to develop ulcers.
Risk Factors for NSAID-Induced Ulcers
Between 15% and 25% of patients who have taken NSAIDs regularly will have evidence of one or more ulcers, but in most cases they are very small. According to a 2000 study, 3. 8% of regular NSAID users develop serious gastrointestinal conditions. Given the widespread use of these drugs, however, the total number of people with serious problems may be considerable. One medical center reported that between 50% and 80% of people who were hospitalized for gastrointestinal problems were taking NSAIDs.
High-Users of NSAIDs. Anyone who uses NSAIDs regularly is at risk for gastrointestinal problems. Even low-dose aspirin (81 mg) used to protect the heart may pose some risk (although lower than standard doses). In one study, over a four-year period, 4.5% of regular uses were hospitalized for GI bleeding. The highest risks, however, are in people who require long-term use of very high doses, notably people who suffer from arthritis, particularly rheumatoid arthritis. Others that have a high intake of NSAIDs, include, but are not limited to, people with chronic low back pain, fibromyalgia, and repetitive stress injuries (such as carpal tunnel syndrome).
Contributing Factors. Certain factors add to the risk for ulcers in NSAID-users. They include the following:
Cancer Network
EXCERPT:
A 48% reduction in oral cancer risk was seen in those using NSAIDs daily for at least 5 years, and a 70% reduction in those using NSAIDs for 15 years or more. "Long-term oral NSAID use reduced risk of oral cancer by about 50%, as did smoking cessation," Dr. Sudbø told ONI, noting that 216 persons quit smoking before oral cancer development or last follow-up, and moderate (and not significant) additional effects were seen when smoking cessation and NSAID use were combined in a multivariate analysis.
"The problem was, the 50% reduction in oral cancer incidence did not translate into increased overall survival," he said. "We started mining the database and, to our surprise, found that long-term use—daily for at least 6 months but in this cohort for several years or more—was associated with double the risk of cardiovascular death" (hazard ratio = 2.06).
Among the 263 users of NSAIDs, 42 died of cardiovascular death (about 16%). Among 562 never-users of NSAIDs, 41 died of CV death (about 7%). Yet all were also at risk for CV disease, because they were heavy smokers, Dr. Sudbø said. For example, even in the cohort of 263 NSAID users, "about 20 [8%] would have died of cardiovascular disease regardless of whether they used NSAIDs."
Jon Sudbo wikipedia
EXCERPT:
Jon Sudbø (born May 3, 1961) is a dentist and formerly a consultant oncologist and medical researcher at The Radium Hospital in Oslo, Norway. Having earlier been licensed as a dentist and a physician, he earned a doctorate (dr. med) in 2001. Until February 2006 he was an associate Professor at the University of Oslo. A research fabrication scandal surfaced in 2006; as a result of this his license to practice medicine and dentistry were revoked and the faculty board at the faculty of medicine at the University of Oslo decided to revoke his doctorate. [1][2] Recently he gained a limited authorization to work as a dentist, and is currently working in Seljord, Telemark.
Scientific misconduct—is there a need for policing the profession
by Vainio H
At the beginning of January this year, Dr Jon Sudbo, a cancer researcher and chief medical officer at The Norwegian Radium Hospital, was found to have published an article in The Lancet in October 2005 describing work that had not been done (1, 2). The paper claims to be the report of an analysis of several Norwegian health surveys and registries showing that the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs can reduce the incidence of oral cancer. The material was fabricated. The article was accepted for publication in The Lancet through a fast-track editorial process because the results were particularly striking.
It was not until the end of the year, when the Director of the Division of Epidemiology at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Camilla Stoltenberg, questioned the stated use of data from CONOR, a Norwegian cohort managed by her institute. This query initiated an investigation, as a result of which Jon Sudbo has now admitted that he fabricated the data in the paper. A special committee is investigating whether other articles by Jon Sudbo, including a paper in The New England Journal of Medicine, were also based on fraudulent or fabricated data. One feature that should have alerted at least those involved in the analysis of the data is the fact that 250 of the sample of 908 people in the study were reported to have the same birthday!
Earlier last year, Dr Eric T Poelhman, in the state of Vermont in the United States (US), admitted to scientific misconduct in falsifying and fabricating research data published in numerous articles between 1992 and 2002 in the international scientific literature (3). During this period, Dr Poelhman had also submitted 17 research grant applications to federal agencies in the United States—for millions of dollars—again based on false and fabricated research data. The published results included those of a study showing beneficial effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on various health parameters of postmenopausal women. How many physicians around the globe prescribed HRT to women on the basis of these fabricated results, not to mention the financial burden on the many women who used these drugs for up to decades in the belief that they were beneficial? Given what we know today about the association between the use of HRT and cardiovascular disease and cancer (4–6), publication of this fraudulent study is particularly disturbing.
The researcher Hwang Woo-suk of the Republic of Korea resigned from his university in December 2005 after it was found that he had fabricated the results from stem-cell research, which had raised hopes of new cures for hard-to-treat diseases. According to a panel of researchers at the Seoul National University, Hwang published faked results for at least 11 stem-cell lines that he claimed to have created in a paper published in Science (7).
In many societies, people have grown accustomed to believing that science is to be trusted, that, if something is published in a prestigious high-impact scientific journal like Science, The New England Journal of Medicine, or The Lancet, then it must be true, especially if the list of authors includes leading scientists in the field. The paper by Jon Sudbo et al was signed by 13 co-authors, some from stellar research institutions such as the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, the Cornell University in New York, and Biomedicum Helsinki at the University of Helsinki. In the article in The Lancet, which requires that the contribution of each author be stated, four of the authors (including Jon Sudbo) were listed as having contributed equally to the paper. The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, of which The Lancet is a member, has published the following criteria for authorship: “Authorship credit should be based on 1) substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) drafting the article or revising it critically for the important intellectual content; and 3) final approval of the version to be published. Authors should meet conditions 1, 2, and 3.” Thus each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content.
With its 13 competent knowledgeable co-authors submitting a paper to a high-impact journal and its able editors, one might wonder how the fabricated study got through the peer review process, which is supposed to prevent the publication of bad science.
The articles by Jon Sudbo, Eric T Poehlman, and Hwang Woo-suk are not the first fraudulent papers to be published, and probably not the last. It is unrealistic to expect a journal to be able to detect fraud consistently, but at least in this case, The Lancet does not appear to have put up as many barriers as they might have. One epidemiologist, Dr Michael Thun at the American Cancer Society, did raise a warning sign. He was asked to write an editorial on the Sudbo study for The Lancet but withdrew it when he was not given time to resolve questions over whether the analysis was correct and properly presented. Finally, however, the Editor in Chief decided that the paper, which appeared to have exceptional findings, should be published rapidly for quick publicity. Did the increasing competition among journals and a desire to raise the impact factor of the journal play a role in this decision?
Any journal can be the victim of fraud. In a bid to reduce the probability of such events, Drummond Rennie, Deputy Editor of JAMA, proposed several years ago that 1 in every 1000 papers submitted undergo a simple editorial audit in which checks would be made on whether the records exist, whether the laboratory tests were done, and what the role of each author was? This sounds like a good idea and could be a step forward. The objection that additional monitoring will discourage scientists from starting research is clearly overridden by the increasing need for policing the profession.
The other aspect that the Sudbo affair brings to light is gift authorship—the practice of conferring authorship as a reward or as a spurious stamp of credibility, rather than as a certificate of responsibility. Many people accept or confer gift authorship, detection is unlikely, and the rewards are obvious: tenure, promotion, research grants, and fame. In the Sudbo case, the contribution of each author was described in the paper, but how was co-authorship attributed if the work was never done? How many of the authors fulfilled the three criteria outlined by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors? How many fulfilled only the last: approval of the final version for publication? Nevertheless, there were explanations in The Lancet paper as to why their names were included. Of all the abuses of scientific research, gift authorship is the most common and the most lightly regarded.
The Sudbo affair raises questions concerning research management. Finally, as also stated by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, “it is not ordinarily the task of editors to conduct a full investigation or to make a determination; that the responsibility lies with the institution where the work was done or with the funding agency”. We must first accept that fraud exists, even in Nordic countries, although its prevalence is unknown. The universal lesson is that institutions are not good at policing themselves, and several countries have set up bodies specifically for this purpose, such as the Office of Research Integrity within the US Department of Health and Human Services. The recent case of scientific misconduct from Norway should be taken seriously by research organizations and institutions, which should implement the necessary precautions. The time has come also for the Nordic countries to abandon the lax approach to scientific fraud.

Swedish Match AB, the largest snus manufacturer in Sweden, is about to get hit with its second scandal in less than 30 days. Most communications from Stockholm have been cut off. SnusCIA Agents in Stockholm and Gothenburg report panic among SMAB executives who are drinking fine alcoholic beverages and passing around a couple boxes of Kardus. Our agents discount their laughing and good spirits to nervous breakdowns. This behavior is quite understandable considering the pounding Swedish Match has taken over the last month.
The First Scandal was revealed on October 25, 2009. The Swedish hard-hitting news show Kalla Fakta on TV4 released an explosive broadcast which proved that Swedish Match snus has nicotine in it!!! Aside from reading the label, Kalla Fakta raided Swedish Match with investigative journalists.....who were given total access, all information requested, an an inordinate amount of Swedish Match's Executives time without even asking for it.
Kalla Fakta's blockbuster conclusion: Swedish Match used a 'secret ingredient', E500, to boost the bio-availability of the nicotine in all Swedish Match snus! Somehow, the fact-checkers at Kalla Fakta missed the fact that E500 (sodium carbonate) is used as acidity regulator in not only Swedish Match snus, but virtually all Swedish Snuses. More shocking was Kalla Fakta missing the fact that E500 has been used by Swedish Snus makers for years and is an approved food additive by the Swedish Government's equivalent of America's FDA.
Harvard researcher, Greg Connolly (an anti-all-tobacco zealot) even lamented in the few portions of the broadcast in English that "this will make it harder/impossible for people to quit using snus!" Wow! I guess my question is "so what"? Swedish snus is at least 98% less harmful to smokers than cigarettes are. Snus, tobacco and nicotine are all legal substances, much safer for smokers than cigarettes, and are completely discreet when used. So Dr. Connolly would rather millions more will die needlessly of smoking related illnesses than use Swedish Snus? I fail to follow the logic, but since he is at Harvard, it must be valid, right?

Secondhand Smoke Affects Fertility
Living With a Smoker as Damaging to IVF Success as Being a Smoker

Smokers
Description
An in-depth report on the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of stomach and GI ulcers.
Alternative Names
Duodenal Ulcers; Gastric Ulcers; H. Pylori; Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs, or NSAIDs
Risk Factors
About 25 million American are expected to have peptic ulcers at some point in their lives. Peptic ulcer disease affects all age groups but is rare in children. Men have twice the risk for ulcers as women. The risk for duodenal ulcers tends to rise at around age 25 and continues until age 75; gastric ulcers peak in people between the ages of 55 and 65.
Risk Factors for H. pylori
H. pylori grows and colonizes only in the intestinal tracts of primates and in no other animals. The bacteria is most likely transmitted directly from person to person. Still, little is yet known about its transmission.
Who Harbors H. Pylori? About half of the world's adults are infected with H. pylori. The bacteria, however, are nearly always acquired during childhood and persist throughout life if not treated. The prevalence in children ranges from under 10% to over 80%, depending on where they live. The highest infection rates (3% to 10%) are in developing countries and the lowest (0.5%) are in industrialized nations, where the rates continue to decline. Even within industrialized countries, however, the infection rates in regions that have crowded unsanitary conditions are equal to those in developing countries.
How Does the Bacteria Pass from Person to Person? It is not entirely clear how the bacteria is transmitted. A 2001 Swedish study, for example, did not find that infected students posed any risk for their classmates. Transmission within families may be the most important route for H. pylori. A 2002 study reported that spouses of people with peptic ulcers are at significantly higher risk for ulcers, suggesting that the bacteria may be transmitted from intimate contact. Some evidence suggests that it is transmissible during gastrointestinal tract illness, particularly when vomiting occurs. The bacteria also may be passed in stools. Since H. pylori can live in water, but not apparently in food, then the bacteria may also be spread by sewage-contaminated water.
Who is at Risk for Ulcers from H. Pylori? Although H. pylori infection is very common, ulcers are very rare in children and only a minority of infected adults develops ulcers. Some known risk factors include smoking, being male, and the presence of the cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA). Experts are unable to determine, however, any single factor or group of factors that could determine which infected patients are most likely to develop ulcers.
Risk Factors for NSAID-Induced Ulcers
Between 15% and 25% of patients who have taken NSAIDs regularly will have evidence of one or more ulcers, but in most cases they are very small. According to a 2000 study, 3. 8% of regular NSAID users develop serious gastrointestinal conditions. Given the widespread use of these drugs, however, the total number of people with serious problems may be considerable. One medical center reported that between 50% and 80% of people who were hospitalized for gastrointestinal problems were taking NSAIDs.
High-Users of NSAIDs. Anyone who uses NSAIDs regularly is at risk for gastrointestinal problems. Even low-dose aspirin (81 mg) used to protect the heart may pose some risk (although lower than standard doses). In one study, over a four-year period, 4.5% of regular uses were hospitalized for GI bleeding. The highest risks, however, are in people who require long-term use of very high doses, notably people who suffer from arthritis, particularly rheumatoid arthritis. Others that have a high intake of NSAIDs, include, but are not limited to, people with chronic low back pain, fibromyalgia, and repetitive stress injuries (such as carpal tunnel syndrome).
Contributing Factors. Certain factors add to the risk for ulcers in NSAID-users. They include the following:
Cancer Network
EXCERPT:
A 48% reduction in oral cancer risk was seen in those using NSAIDs daily for at least 5 years, and a 70% reduction in those using NSAIDs for 15 years or more. "Long-term oral NSAID use reduced risk of oral cancer by about 50%, as did smoking cessation," Dr. Sudbø told ONI, noting that 216 persons quit smoking before oral cancer development or last follow-up, and moderate (and not significant) additional effects were seen when smoking cessation and NSAID use were combined in a multivariate analysis.
"The problem was, the 50% reduction in oral cancer incidence did not translate into increased overall survival," he said. "We started mining the database and, to our surprise, found that long-term use—daily for at least 6 months but in this cohort for several years or more—was associated with double the risk of cardiovascular death" (hazard ratio = 2.06).
Among the 263 users of NSAIDs, 42 died of cardiovascular death (about 16%). Among 562 never-users of NSAIDs, 41 died of CV death (about 7%). Yet all were also at risk for CV disease, because they were heavy smokers, Dr. Sudbø said. For example, even in the cohort of 263 NSAID users, "about 20 [8%] would have died of cardiovascular disease regardless of whether they used NSAIDs."
Jon Sudbo wikipedia
EXCERPT:
Jon Sudbø (born May 3, 1961) is a dentist and formerly a consultant oncologist and medical researcher at The Radium Hospital in Oslo, Norway. Having earlier been licensed as a dentist and a physician, he earned a doctorate (dr. med) in 2001. Until February 2006 he was an associate Professor at the University of Oslo. A research fabrication scandal surfaced in 2006; as a result of this his license to practice medicine and dentistry were revoked and the faculty board at the faculty of medicine at the University of Oslo decided to revoke his doctorate. [1][2] Recently he gained a limited authorization to work as a dentist, and is currently working in Seljord, Telemark.
Scientific misconduct—is there a need for policing the profession
by Vainio H
At the beginning of January this year, Dr Jon Sudbo, a cancer researcher and chief medical officer at The Norwegian Radium Hospital, was found to have published an article in The Lancet in October 2005 describing work that had not been done (1, 2). The paper claims to be the report of an analysis of several Norwegian health surveys and registries showing that the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs can reduce the incidence of oral cancer. The material was fabricated. The article was accepted for publication in The Lancet through a fast-track editorial process because the results were particularly striking.
It was not until the end of the year, when the Director of the Division of Epidemiology at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Camilla Stoltenberg, questioned the stated use of data from CONOR, a Norwegian cohort managed by her institute. This query initiated an investigation, as a result of which Jon Sudbo has now admitted that he fabricated the data in the paper. A special committee is investigating whether other articles by Jon Sudbo, including a paper in The New England Journal of Medicine, were also based on fraudulent or fabricated data. One feature that should have alerted at least those involved in the analysis of the data is the fact that 250 of the sample of 908 people in the study were reported to have the same birthday!
Earlier last year, Dr Eric T Poelhman, in the state of Vermont in the United States (US), admitted to scientific misconduct in falsifying and fabricating research data published in numerous articles between 1992 and 2002 in the international scientific literature (3). During this period, Dr Poelhman had also submitted 17 research grant applications to federal agencies in the United States—for millions of dollars—again based on false and fabricated research data. The published results included those of a study showing beneficial effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on various health parameters of postmenopausal women. How many physicians around the globe prescribed HRT to women on the basis of these fabricated results, not to mention the financial burden on the many women who used these drugs for up to decades in the belief that they were beneficial? Given what we know today about the association between the use of HRT and cardiovascular disease and cancer (4–6), publication of this fraudulent study is particularly disturbing.
The researcher Hwang Woo-suk of the Republic of Korea resigned from his university in December 2005 after it was found that he had fabricated the results from stem-cell research, which had raised hopes of new cures for hard-to-treat diseases. According to a panel of researchers at the Seoul National University, Hwang published faked results for at least 11 stem-cell lines that he claimed to have created in a paper published in Science (7).
In many societies, people have grown accustomed to believing that science is to be trusted, that, if something is published in a prestigious high-impact scientific journal like Science, The New England Journal of Medicine, or The Lancet, then it must be true, especially if the list of authors includes leading scientists in the field. The paper by Jon Sudbo et al was signed by 13 co-authors, some from stellar research institutions such as the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, the Cornell University in New York, and Biomedicum Helsinki at the University of Helsinki. In the article in The Lancet, which requires that the contribution of each author be stated, four of the authors (including Jon Sudbo) were listed as having contributed equally to the paper. The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, of which The Lancet is a member, has published the following criteria for authorship: “Authorship credit should be based on 1) substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) drafting the article or revising it critically for the important intellectual content; and 3) final approval of the version to be published. Authors should meet conditions 1, 2, and 3.” Thus each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content.
With its 13 competent knowledgeable co-authors submitting a paper to a high-impact journal and its able editors, one might wonder how the fabricated study got through the peer review process, which is supposed to prevent the publication of bad science.
The articles by Jon Sudbo, Eric T Poehlman, and Hwang Woo-suk are not the first fraudulent papers to be published, and probably not the last. It is unrealistic to expect a journal to be able to detect fraud consistently, but at least in this case, The Lancet does not appear to have put up as many barriers as they might have. One epidemiologist, Dr Michael Thun at the American Cancer Society, did raise a warning sign. He was asked to write an editorial on the Sudbo study for The Lancet but withdrew it when he was not given time to resolve questions over whether the analysis was correct and properly presented. Finally, however, the Editor in Chief decided that the paper, which appeared to have exceptional findings, should be published rapidly for quick publicity. Did the increasing competition among journals and a desire to raise the impact factor of the journal play a role in this decision?
Any journal can be the victim of fraud. In a bid to reduce the probability of such events, Drummond Rennie, Deputy Editor of JAMA, proposed several years ago that 1 in every 1000 papers submitted undergo a simple editorial audit in which checks would be made on whether the records exist, whether the laboratory tests were done, and what the role of each author was? This sounds like a good idea and could be a step forward. The objection that additional monitoring will discourage scientists from starting research is clearly overridden by the increasing need for policing the profession.
The other aspect that the Sudbo affair brings to light is gift authorship—the practice of conferring authorship as a reward or as a spurious stamp of credibility, rather than as a certificate of responsibility. Many people accept or confer gift authorship, detection is unlikely, and the rewards are obvious: tenure, promotion, research grants, and fame. In the Sudbo case, the contribution of each author was described in the paper, but how was co-authorship attributed if the work was never done? How many of the authors fulfilled the three criteria outlined by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors? How many fulfilled only the last: approval of the final version for publication? Nevertheless, there were explanations in The Lancet paper as to why their names were included. Of all the abuses of scientific research, gift authorship is the most common and the most lightly regarded.
The Sudbo affair raises questions concerning research management. Finally, as also stated by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, “it is not ordinarily the task of editors to conduct a full investigation or to make a determination; that the responsibility lies with the institution where the work was done or with the funding agency”. We must first accept that fraud exists, even in Nordic countries, although its prevalence is unknown. The universal lesson is that institutions are not good at policing themselves, and several countries have set up bodies specifically for this purpose, such as the Office of Research Integrity within the US Department of Health and Human Services. The recent case of scientific misconduct from Norway should be taken seriously by research organizations and institutions, which should implement the necessary precautions. The time has come also for the Nordic countries to abandon the lax approach to scientific fraud.

Swedish Match SNUS rocked by another scandal
Swedish Match Snus Rocked by ANOTHER Scandal!

Swedish Match AB, the largest snus manufacturer in Sweden, is about to get hit with its second scandal in less than 30 days. Most communications from Stockholm have been cut off. SnusCIA Agents in Stockholm and Gothenburg report panic among SMAB executives who are drinking fine alcoholic beverages and passing around a couple boxes of Kardus. Our agents discount their laughing and good spirits to nervous breakdowns. This behavior is quite understandable considering the pounding Swedish Match has taken over the last month.
The First Scandal was revealed on October 25, 2009. The Swedish hard-hitting news show Kalla Fakta on TV4 released an explosive broadcast which proved that Swedish Match snus has nicotine in it!!! Aside from reading the label, Kalla Fakta raided Swedish Match with investigative journalists.....who were given total access, all information requested, an an inordinate amount of Swedish Match's Executives time without even asking for it.
Kalla Fakta's blockbuster conclusion: Swedish Match used a 'secret ingredient', E500, to boost the bio-availability of the nicotine in all Swedish Match snus! Somehow, the fact-checkers at Kalla Fakta missed the fact that E500 (sodium carbonate) is used as acidity regulator in not only Swedish Match snus, but virtually all Swedish Snuses. More shocking was Kalla Fakta missing the fact that E500 has been used by Swedish Snus makers for years and is an approved food additive by the Swedish Government's equivalent of America's FDA.
Harvard researcher, Greg Connolly (an anti-all-tobacco zealot) even lamented in the few portions of the broadcast in English that "this will make it harder/impossible for people to quit using snus!" Wow! I guess my question is "so what"? Swedish snus is at least 98% less harmful to smokers than cigarettes are. Snus, tobacco and nicotine are all legal substances, much safer for smokers than cigarettes, and are completely discreet when used. So Dr. Connolly would rather millions more will die needlessly of smoking related illnesses than use Swedish Snus? I fail to follow the logic, but since he is at Harvard, it must be valid, right?

Genetic engineering and Monsanto, Dow and Dupont
EXCERPT:
Today Pillsbury food products are made from genetically-engineered crops. Other foods that are now genetically engineered include Crisco; Kraft salad dressings; Nestle's chocolate; Green Giant harvest burgers; Parkay margarine; Isomil and ProSobee infant formulas; and Wesson vegetable oils. Fritos, Doritos, Tostitos and Ruffles Chips -- and french fried potatoes sold by McDonald's -- are genetically engineered.[1,pg.92]
By next year, if Monsanto's plans develop on schedule -- and there is no reason to think they won't -- 100% of the U.S. soybean crop will be genetically engineered. Eighty percent of all the vegetable oils in American foods are derived from soy beans, so most foods that contain vegetable oils will contain genetically engineered components by next year or the year after.[1,pg.52]
It is safe to say that never before in the history of the world has such a rapid and large-scale revolution occurred in a nation's food supply. And not just the U.S. is targeted for change. The genetic engineering companies (all of whom used to be chemical companies) -- Dow, DuPont, Novartis, and preeminently, Monsanto -- are aggressively promoting their genetically engineered seeds in Europe, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, India, China and elsewhere. Huge opposition has developed to Monsanto's technology everywhere it has been introduced outside the United States. Only in the U.S. has the "agbiotech" revolution been greeted with a dazed silence.

INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE II: THE NEW BIOREVOLUTION
The same companies that promoted chemical-based agriculture are now bringing the world genetically engineered food and agriculture. Some of the leading pesticide companies of yesterday have become what today are euphemistically called "life sciences companies" - Aventis, Novartis, Syngenta, Monsanto, DuPont, and others. Through genetic engineering, these companies are now converting seeds into product-delivery systems. The crops produced by Monsanto's Roundup-Ready brand seeds, for example, tolerate only the company's Roundup brand herbicide.
How monoculture is like triple a cdos
EXCERPT:
Big agriculture companies like DuPont and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), of course, have an answer to this problem: genetically engineered crops that are resistant to disease. But that answer is the agricultural equivalent of creating triple-A-rated mortgage bonds, fabricated precisely to prevent the problem of credit risk. It doesn’t make the problem go away: It just makes the problem rarer and much more dangerous when it does occur because no one is — or even can be — prepared for such a high-impact, low-probability event.
DuPont satanic bloodline
EXCERPT:
This article starts out with this anecdote to make a point--the 13 top families do control the press--and are very sensitive to any negative publicity of any kind. Not only are their Satanic activities deeply hidden, but even just the normal everyday sinfulness or human soap box drama of their lives is deeply hidden. By the way, Coleman duPont, an extremely hedonistic man, is one of the duPonts I strongly suspect was into Satanism. Further secrecy has been obtained by working through trusted proxies. Today, a key proxy is the jew Irving Saul Shapiro. The du Pont family is represented in a number of groups by Irving Saul Shapiro, who is on the Council of Foreign Relations. Irving S. Shapiro is a key person who has been the go-between to coordinate the activities of the Rockefellers, the du Ponts, and the Watson families (Watson family members who are 6° Illuminati are mentioned in the 1/1/93 newsletter. Shapiro was a member of Carter’s Advisory Council on Japan-US. Economic Relations, is a trustee of the University of Delaware, director of the Jewish Federation of Delaware, director of IBM (which is a Watson-Rockefeller business), director of Citicorp (Rothschilds and Rockefellers--headed in the past by 6° Illuminatus, CFR member, Bilderberger Walter Wristen), and the U.S./U.S.S.R. Trade and Economic Council (which Rockefeller plays a big part of). Shapiro is or was director of Continental American Insurance Co., International Business Machines (under IBM). Irving Saul Shapiro was chairman of the du Pont company.
BEGINNING AT THE BEGINNING
The biographies of the du Pont family usually begin with the marriage of Samuel du Pont to Anne Alexandrine Montechanin in 1737 in Paris, France. Although Anne was a Huguenot, she was a medium with the spirit world. Anne came from an ancient noble family that lived in Burgandy, France. It is quite possible that it was Anne’s bloodline that gave the Du ponts their occult power. Anne’s bloodline may possibly tie in to the House of David. At any rate, Samuel and Anne’s son was the first du Pont to rise to greatness, and the first du Pont that can be connected directly to the Illuminati.

Irving Saul Shapiro (July 15, 1916, Minnesota - September 13, 2001) was an American businessman. He is best known for being the chairman and CEO of DuPont (December 1973-1981)
He was born as a son of Lithuanian Jewish immigrant family.
Virgil Effinger wikipedia
EXCERPT:
Born in Newark, Ohio, Effinger served with the United States Army during the Spanish–American War.[1] Settling in Lima, Ohio after his military service, Effinger worked as a salesman in the town.[2] A strong racist, anti-Semite and anti-Catholic, he joined the Ku Klux Klan and attained the rank of Grand Titan within the movement.[3]
[edit] Black Legion
Effinger took control of the Black Legion, a group within the local Klan, in 1931 and saw in it the basis for a network of militia cells.[2] He soon advocated a revolution with the Legion seizing power in Washington D.C. and installing him as dictator.[2] Effinger underlined his intetions when he described his movement as "a guerilla army designed to fight the Republican and Democratic parties".[4] Such was his fanaticism that he even rewrote American history by claiming that the Legion dated back to the Boston Tea Party.[2]
Under Effinger's leadership the Legion grew during the early 1930s and was linked to a handful of racist murders as well as arson and bomb attacks on communist bookshops.[5] The murder of Catholic Charles Poole by Legion member Major Dayton Dean and some followers in 1936 proved the Legion's undoing as the police pursued Poole's killers as he was white and not involved in labor organizations, with the crimes against non-whites and labor activists often ignored by right-wing small-town police at the time.[6]
[edit] Later years
Effinger escaped capture and attempted to organise a successor movement, the Patriotic Legion of America in 1938, this time admitting Catholics.[6] However the new group proved a failure and Effinger disappeared into obscurity.[1] He died in a psychiatric hospital in Toledo, Ohio in 1955, denying any involvement in the Black Legion until his dying day.[1]
Black Legion (political movement) wikipedia
The Black Legion was an organization that splintered from the Ku Klux Klan and operated in the United States in the 1930s. The organization was founded by William Shepard in east central Ohio.[1] The group's total membership, estimated between 20,000 and 30,000, was centered in Detroit, Michigan, though the Legion was also highly active in Ohio and one of its self-described leaders, Virgil "Bert" Effinger, lived and worked in Lima, Ohio.
The Associated Press described the organization on May 31, 1936, "as a group of loosely federated night-riding bands operating in several States without central discipline or common purpose beyond the enforcement by lash and pistol of individual leaders' notions of 'Americanism.'" The death of Charles Poole, kidnapped and murdered in southwest Detroit, caused authorities to finally arrest and successfully try and convict a group of twelve men, thereby ending the reign of the Black Legion.
The Black Legion was organized along paramilitary lines and had five brigades, 16 regiments, 64 battalions, and 256 companies. Although its members boasted that there were one million legionnaires in Michigan, it probably had only between 20,000 and 30,000 members in the state in the 1930s, one third of whom lived in Detroit.
Members wore black uniforms with skull and crossbones insignia and were allegedly responsible for numerous murders of alleged communists and socialists, notably Earl Little, Malcolm X's father.
[edit] In media
A film based on the movement called Black Legion was released in 1937 by Warner Brothers and starred Humphrey Bogart.
The April 1, 1937 episode of True Detective Mysteries, a radio show based on the magazine of the same title, was based directly on the Black Legion and the murder of Poole.
The March 20, 1938, episode of the radio show The Shadow, with Orson Welles in the title role, was entitled "The White Legion"; it was based loosely on the Black Legion movement.
Archer Daniels Midland: A Case Study In Corporate Welfare
EXCERPT:
by James Bovard
James Bovard is an associate policy analyst with the Cato Institute. His most recent book is Shakedown: How the Government Screws You from A to Z (Viking, 1995).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Executive Summary
The Archer Daniels Midland Corporation (ADM) has been the most prominent recipient of corporate welfare in recent U.S. history. ADM and its chairman Dwayne Andreas have lavishly fertilized both political parties with millions of dollars in handouts and in return have reaped billion-dollar windfalls from taxpayers and consumers. Thanks to federal protection of the domestic sugar industry, ethanol subsidies, subsidized grain exports, and various other programs, ADM has cost the American economy billions of dollars since 1980 and has indirectly cost Americans tens of billions of dollars in higher prices and higher taxes over that same period. At least 43 percent of ADM's annual profits are from products heavily subsidized or protected by the American government. Moreover, every $1 of profits earned by ADM's corn sweetener operation costs consumers $10, and every $1 of profits earned by its ethanol operation costs taxpayers $30
One of the most politically charged debates in Washington revolves around business subsidies known as "corporate welfare." A number of policy organizations have published studies examining the corporate welfare phenomenon: what qualifies as corporate welfare, how much it costs taxpayers, and how much it damages the economy. This study examines the dynamics of corporate welfare somewhat differently by investigating ADM as a classic case study of how those subsidies are obtained, how the welfare state encourages such "rent seeking," and how such practices fundamentally corrupt the political life of a nation. Congress's expressed desire to foster a free marketplace cannot be taken seriously until ADM's corporate hand is removed from the federal till.

A Dynasty of Satanic Royalty
EXCERPT:
A DYNASTY OF SATANIC ROYALTY
Sitting down to write about the du Pont.s reminded me of two other families. Recently, John Coleman, a researcher on the elite, commented to me that when he had researched the Queen of Denmark he had discovered that the royal Danish family was slipping away secretly from everyone and they were going to Satanic rituals. It is also noteworthy that 5 modern kings of Denmark have been the leaders of Freemasonry in Denmark, and the Danish royal family, princes etc. have been active Masons.
John Dale wrote a book The Prince and The Paranormal which goes into the secret occult activities of the British royal family, especially Prince Charles, but also many other royal family members too. Besides the secret occult activities of the British Monarch, they have been openly leaders of Freemasonry ( see the Appendix of Be Wise As Serpents for a detailed chart on this.) The du Ponts are similar to these families in that they too are a dynasty, they too have a very public image, and they too have a totally hidden life. In fact, the du Ponts have better control over the press’s coverage of them than the British Royal Family.
One of the clues that the family is a top Satanic family are the frequency of marriages between relatives of the du Pont descendants. Few people are aware of the immense importance bloodlines play in the upper levels of Satanism. Blood is believed to carry the occult power. Unless a person has the correct blood he or she will not rise to the highest levels of Satanism. The du Ponts have intermarried with the Balls and the Gardners. These other families are known to be involved with the Illuminati and Satanism. For instance George W. Ball is on the important permanent steering committee of the Bilderbergers and has attended the Bilderberger meetings that I know of starting with the original first meeting in 1954, plus in 1955, 1957, 1963, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1974, 1975. George W. Ball is also a member of CFR and the Trilateral Commission. Eliza Cazenove (Gardner was a sister to a du Pont. I)orsey Cazenove (Gardner was a distant cousin. Will Gardner and Bessie Gardner duPont were cousins of the duPonts. John W. Gardner is a 60 Illuminatus and in charge of the Rockefeller Bros. Fund. I have found the Gardners in the thick of Satanism and witchcraft.

Union Carbide and BP
EXCERPT:
Release date: 07 February 2001
BP announced today that it will offer new polyethylene production technology for licence worldwide, combining metallocene catalysts with its INNOVENE gas phase polyethylene process for the first time. The proven technology offers high performance linear low density polyethylenes (LLDPEs) free from the processing difficulties associated with existing metallocene-catalysed polyethylene.
Today's announcement follows agreement between BP and The Dow Chemical Company and between BP and Univation Technologies, LLC, the ExxonMobil/Union Carbide joint venture, regarding earlier metallocene catalyst research. The agreement represents a final resolution of the issues arising from BP and Dow's collaboration on metallocene catalyst technology and is part of a wider deal under which BP will acquire Dow's interest in the technology developed jointly by the two companies. BP will now have the right to develop and license constrained geometry metallocene catalyst technology for gas phase polyethylene processes.
BP and Dow had been collaborating to develop catalysts based on Dow's INSITE metallocene technology for use with BP's INNOVENE gas phase polyethylene process since 1995, but the active collaboration ended in 1999 when Dow announced plans to merge with Union Carbide, leaving BP to pursue the development alone.

Today Pillsbury food products are made from genetically-engineered crops. Other foods that are now genetically engineered include Crisco; Kraft salad dressings; Nestle's chocolate; Green Giant harvest burgers; Parkay margarine; Isomil and ProSobee infant formulas; and Wesson vegetable oils. Fritos, Doritos, Tostitos and Ruffles Chips -- and french fried potatoes sold by McDonald's -- are genetically engineered.[1,pg.92]
By next year, if Monsanto's plans develop on schedule -- and there is no reason to think they won't -- 100% of the U.S. soybean crop will be genetically engineered. Eighty percent of all the vegetable oils in American foods are derived from soy beans, so most foods that contain vegetable oils will contain genetically engineered components by next year or the year after.[1,pg.52]
It is safe to say that never before in the history of the world has such a rapid and large-scale revolution occurred in a nation's food supply. And not just the U.S. is targeted for change. The genetic engineering companies (all of whom used to be chemical companies) -- Dow, DuPont, Novartis, and preeminently, Monsanto -- are aggressively promoting their genetically engineered seeds in Europe, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, India, China and elsewhere. Huge opposition has developed to Monsanto's technology everywhere it has been introduced outside the United States. Only in the U.S. has the "agbiotech" revolution been greeted with a dazed silence.

INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE II: THE NEW BIOREVOLUTION
The same companies that promoted chemical-based agriculture are now bringing the world genetically engineered food and agriculture. Some of the leading pesticide companies of yesterday have become what today are euphemistically called "life sciences companies" - Aventis, Novartis, Syngenta, Monsanto, DuPont, and others. Through genetic engineering, these companies are now converting seeds into product-delivery systems. The crops produced by Monsanto's Roundup-Ready brand seeds, for example, tolerate only the company's Roundup brand herbicide.
How monoculture is like triple a cdos
EXCERPT:
Big agriculture companies like DuPont and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), of course, have an answer to this problem: genetically engineered crops that are resistant to disease. But that answer is the agricultural equivalent of creating triple-A-rated mortgage bonds, fabricated precisely to prevent the problem of credit risk. It doesn’t make the problem go away: It just makes the problem rarer and much more dangerous when it does occur because no one is — or even can be — prepared for such a high-impact, low-probability event.
DuPont satanic bloodline
EXCERPT:
This article starts out with this anecdote to make a point--the 13 top families do control the press--and are very sensitive to any negative publicity of any kind. Not only are their Satanic activities deeply hidden, but even just the normal everyday sinfulness or human soap box drama of their lives is deeply hidden. By the way, Coleman duPont, an extremely hedonistic man, is one of the duPonts I strongly suspect was into Satanism. Further secrecy has been obtained by working through trusted proxies. Today, a key proxy is the jew Irving Saul Shapiro. The du Pont family is represented in a number of groups by Irving Saul Shapiro, who is on the Council of Foreign Relations. Irving S. Shapiro is a key person who has been the go-between to coordinate the activities of the Rockefellers, the du Ponts, and the Watson families (Watson family members who are 6° Illuminati are mentioned in the 1/1/93 newsletter. Shapiro was a member of Carter’s Advisory Council on Japan-US. Economic Relations, is a trustee of the University of Delaware, director of the Jewish Federation of Delaware, director of IBM (which is a Watson-Rockefeller business), director of Citicorp (Rothschilds and Rockefellers--headed in the past by 6° Illuminatus, CFR member, Bilderberger Walter Wristen), and the U.S./U.S.S.R. Trade and Economic Council (which Rockefeller plays a big part of). Shapiro is or was director of Continental American Insurance Co., International Business Machines (under IBM). Irving Saul Shapiro was chairman of the du Pont company.
BEGINNING AT THE BEGINNING
The biographies of the du Pont family usually begin with the marriage of Samuel du Pont to Anne Alexandrine Montechanin in 1737 in Paris, France. Although Anne was a Huguenot, she was a medium with the spirit world. Anne came from an ancient noble family that lived in Burgandy, France. It is quite possible that it was Anne’s bloodline that gave the Du ponts their occult power. Anne’s bloodline may possibly tie in to the House of David. At any rate, Samuel and Anne’s son was the first du Pont to rise to greatness, and the first du Pont that can be connected directly to the Illuminati.

Irving S. Shapiro wikipedia
Irving Saul Shapiro (July 15, 1916, Minnesota - September 13, 2001) was an American businessman. He is best known for being the chairman and CEO of DuPont (December 1973-1981)
He was born as a son of Lithuanian Jewish immigrant family.
Virgil Effinger wikipedia
EXCERPT:
Born in Newark, Ohio, Effinger served with the United States Army during the Spanish–American War.[1] Settling in Lima, Ohio after his military service, Effinger worked as a salesman in the town.[2] A strong racist, anti-Semite and anti-Catholic, he joined the Ku Klux Klan and attained the rank of Grand Titan within the movement.[3]
[edit] Black Legion
Effinger took control of the Black Legion, a group within the local Klan, in 1931 and saw in it the basis for a network of militia cells.[2] He soon advocated a revolution with the Legion seizing power in Washington D.C. and installing him as dictator.[2] Effinger underlined his intetions when he described his movement as "a guerilla army designed to fight the Republican and Democratic parties".[4] Such was his fanaticism that he even rewrote American history by claiming that the Legion dated back to the Boston Tea Party.[2]
Under Effinger's leadership the Legion grew during the early 1930s and was linked to a handful of racist murders as well as arson and bomb attacks on communist bookshops.[5] The murder of Catholic Charles Poole by Legion member Major Dayton Dean and some followers in 1936 proved the Legion's undoing as the police pursued Poole's killers as he was white and not involved in labor organizations, with the crimes against non-whites and labor activists often ignored by right-wing small-town police at the time.[6]
[edit] Later years
Effinger escaped capture and attempted to organise a successor movement, the Patriotic Legion of America in 1938, this time admitting Catholics.[6] However the new group proved a failure and Effinger disappeared into obscurity.[1] He died in a psychiatric hospital in Toledo, Ohio in 1955, denying any involvement in the Black Legion until his dying day.[1]
Black Legion (political movement) wikipedia
The Black Legion was an organization that splintered from the Ku Klux Klan and operated in the United States in the 1930s. The organization was founded by William Shepard in east central Ohio.[1] The group's total membership, estimated between 20,000 and 30,000, was centered in Detroit, Michigan, though the Legion was also highly active in Ohio and one of its self-described leaders, Virgil "Bert" Effinger, lived and worked in Lima, Ohio.
The Associated Press described the organization on May 31, 1936, "as a group of loosely federated night-riding bands operating in several States without central discipline or common purpose beyond the enforcement by lash and pistol of individual leaders' notions of 'Americanism.'" The death of Charles Poole, kidnapped and murdered in southwest Detroit, caused authorities to finally arrest and successfully try and convict a group of twelve men, thereby ending the reign of the Black Legion.
The Black Legion was organized along paramilitary lines and had five brigades, 16 regiments, 64 battalions, and 256 companies. Although its members boasted that there were one million legionnaires in Michigan, it probably had only between 20,000 and 30,000 members in the state in the 1930s, one third of whom lived in Detroit.
Members wore black uniforms with skull and crossbones insignia and were allegedly responsible for numerous murders of alleged communists and socialists, notably Earl Little, Malcolm X's father.
[edit] In media
A film based on the movement called Black Legion was released in 1937 by Warner Brothers and starred Humphrey Bogart.
The April 1, 1937 episode of True Detective Mysteries, a radio show based on the magazine of the same title, was based directly on the Black Legion and the murder of Poole.
The March 20, 1938, episode of the radio show The Shadow, with Orson Welles in the title role, was entitled "The White Legion"; it was based loosely on the Black Legion movement.
Archer Daniels Midland: A Case Study In Corporate Welfare
EXCERPT:
by James Bovard
James Bovard is an associate policy analyst with the Cato Institute. His most recent book is Shakedown: How the Government Screws You from A to Z (Viking, 1995).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Executive Summary
The Archer Daniels Midland Corporation (ADM) has been the most prominent recipient of corporate welfare in recent U.S. history. ADM and its chairman Dwayne Andreas have lavishly fertilized both political parties with millions of dollars in handouts and in return have reaped billion-dollar windfalls from taxpayers and consumers. Thanks to federal protection of the domestic sugar industry, ethanol subsidies, subsidized grain exports, and various other programs, ADM has cost the American economy billions of dollars since 1980 and has indirectly cost Americans tens of billions of dollars in higher prices and higher taxes over that same period. At least 43 percent of ADM's annual profits are from products heavily subsidized or protected by the American government. Moreover, every $1 of profits earned by ADM's corn sweetener operation costs consumers $10, and every $1 of profits earned by its ethanol operation costs taxpayers $30
One of the most politically charged debates in Washington revolves around business subsidies known as "corporate welfare." A number of policy organizations have published studies examining the corporate welfare phenomenon: what qualifies as corporate welfare, how much it costs taxpayers, and how much it damages the economy. This study examines the dynamics of corporate welfare somewhat differently by investigating ADM as a classic case study of how those subsidies are obtained, how the welfare state encourages such "rent seeking," and how such practices fundamentally corrupt the political life of a nation. Congress's expressed desire to foster a free marketplace cannot be taken seriously until ADM's corporate hand is removed from the federal till.

A Dynasty of Satanic Royalty
EXCERPT:
A DYNASTY OF SATANIC ROYALTY
Sitting down to write about the du Pont.s reminded me of two other families. Recently, John Coleman, a researcher on the elite, commented to me that when he had researched the Queen of Denmark he had discovered that the royal Danish family was slipping away secretly from everyone and they were going to Satanic rituals. It is also noteworthy that 5 modern kings of Denmark have been the leaders of Freemasonry in Denmark, and the Danish royal family, princes etc. have been active Masons.
John Dale wrote a book The Prince and The Paranormal which goes into the secret occult activities of the British royal family, especially Prince Charles, but also many other royal family members too. Besides the secret occult activities of the British Monarch, they have been openly leaders of Freemasonry ( see the Appendix of Be Wise As Serpents for a detailed chart on this.) The du Ponts are similar to these families in that they too are a dynasty, they too have a very public image, and they too have a totally hidden life. In fact, the du Ponts have better control over the press’s coverage of them than the British Royal Family.
One of the clues that the family is a top Satanic family are the frequency of marriages between relatives of the du Pont descendants. Few people are aware of the immense importance bloodlines play in the upper levels of Satanism. Blood is believed to carry the occult power. Unless a person has the correct blood he or she will not rise to the highest levels of Satanism. The du Ponts have intermarried with the Balls and the Gardners. These other families are known to be involved with the Illuminati and Satanism. For instance George W. Ball is on the important permanent steering committee of the Bilderbergers and has attended the Bilderberger meetings that I know of starting with the original first meeting in 1954, plus in 1955, 1957, 1963, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1974, 1975. George W. Ball is also a member of CFR and the Trilateral Commission. Eliza Cazenove (Gardner was a sister to a du Pont. I)orsey Cazenove (Gardner was a distant cousin. Will Gardner and Bessie Gardner duPont were cousins of the duPonts. John W. Gardner is a 60 Illuminatus and in charge of the Rockefeller Bros. Fund. I have found the Gardners in the thick of Satanism and witchcraft.

Union Carbide and BP
EXCERPT:
Release date: 07 February 2001
BP announced today that it will offer new polyethylene production technology for licence worldwide, combining metallocene catalysts with its INNOVENE gas phase polyethylene process for the first time. The proven technology offers high performance linear low density polyethylenes (LLDPEs) free from the processing difficulties associated with existing metallocene-catalysed polyethylene.
Today's announcement follows agreement between BP and The Dow Chemical Company and between BP and Univation Technologies, LLC, the ExxonMobil/Union Carbide joint venture, regarding earlier metallocene catalyst research. The agreement represents a final resolution of the issues arising from BP and Dow's collaboration on metallocene catalyst technology and is part of a wider deal under which BP will acquire Dow's interest in the technology developed jointly by the two companies. BP will now have the right to develop and license constrained geometry metallocene catalyst technology for gas phase polyethylene processes.

i've seen the lands beyond these borders, where the corporations rule,
and they spin their lies and they globalize & the working man's their tool.
and the streams are so polluted, that the banks are bleak and bare,
and the babies all are born deformed and the smog is everywhere.
and the workers' wages dropped thirty percent in just one year,
now those greedy bastards want to bring the same conditions here...

so i called upon you brother (x2 sister), and you asked what i would do,
and i told the truth dear brother (x2 sister) when i spoke these words to you:
i will stand beside your shoulder, when the teargas fills the sky,
if a national guardsmen shoots me down i'll be looking him in the eye.
i will wash their pepper from your face and go with you to jail,
and if you don't make it through this fight i swear i'll tell your tale.
i will stay with you in the prison cell in solidarity,
and i will not leave that cursed room til you walk out with me.
for we the people fight for freedom, while the cops just fight for pay,
and as long as the truth is in our hearts we're sure to win someday.
i will not falter when that iron fist comes out of the velvet glove,
i will stand beside you shoulder to defend this land we love.

i stood beside your shoulder, and we raised our voices high.
and i'll keep your name close to my heart until the day i die.
with every fleeting moment, and with every passing year,
so long as i recall your voice i've nothing left to fear.
for in our hearts there beats a power that outlives their blazing guns,
and we will not give up this fight, until the day we've won...

The Tear Gas Anthem/Washing Machine Song
Corrected/definitive lyrics... a new verse added by me after my friend Brad Will was killed in oaxaca, mexico in october, 2006. back in 2000 when i first heard him sing this, i bugged him for lyrics for months. he finally got them to me typed out on the back of a flier for a film showing of "life and debt," about imf/world bank in jamaica. me and brad sang the song together in miami in november 2003 during the ftaa summit, in the courtyard of the convergence space the evening of november 19 (night before the big actions) as helicopters circled overheard shining spotlights down on us. my friend jordan died following those protests, exposed to the chemical weapons police were using. when i posted the lyrics online following that, i had misremembered many of the lyrics and have been trying to correct them ever since.
TEAR GAS ANTHEM aka THE WASHING MACHINE SONG
1st verse and chorus by Desert Rat (written following seattle wto protests, 1999),
2nd, 3rd & 4th verses by Brad Will,
5th verse by women in jail solidarity during the DNC 2000,
the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 11th & 12th verses by tom evil,
10th verse by warpiper, medic @ miami ftaa summit protests in 2003.
acapella tune by desert rat/brad will
damn, i still miss brad and jordan so much.
--------------------------
i've seen the lands beyond these borders, where the corporations rule,
and they spin their lies and they globalize & the working man's their tool.
and the streams are so polluted, that the banks are bleak and bare,
and the babies all are born deformed and the smog is everywhere.
and the workers' wages dropped thirty percent in just one year,
now those greedy bastards want to bring the same conditions here...
[chorus]
so i called upon you brother (x2 sister), and you asked what i would do,
and i told the truth dear brother (x2 sister) when i spoke these words to you:
i will stand beside your shoulder, when the teargas fills the sky,
if a national guardsmen shoots me down i'll be looking him in the eye.
i will wash their pepper from your face and go with you to jail,
and if you don't make it through this fight i swear i'll tell your tale.
i will stay with you in the prison cell in solidarity,
and i will not leave that cursed room til you walk out with me.
for we the people fight for freedom, while the cops just fight for pay,
and as long as the truth is in our hearts we're sure to win someday.
i will not falter when that iron fist comes out of the velvet glove,
i will stand beside you shoulder to defend this land we love.
II.
i've heard tales of conquered islands, where the sweatshop barons rule,
recruiting girls from the asian slums to be the rich man's tool.
and they're promised lives of luxury in the golden USA,
then they're stranded on these islands with their passports stripped away.
and their aging fingers toil and bleed, year after grueling year,
now those greedy bastards want to bring the same conditions here...
[chorus]
III.
i've walked the misty forests, pulsing vein from ancient time,
they'll rip the heart out of a mountain to kill the oldest things alive.
rainforest dwellers smell a burning, and the 'dozers are close behind,
replaced with plantations and cattle ploughing under whatever they find.
with the rain comes a raging mudslide, where the land was stripped & sheared
now those greedy bastards want to push their bloody products here...
[chorus]
IV.
i've seen the oceans rolling, schools of fish swimming under the tide,
working fishermen grounding their boats, starving on a hook & line.
while the industrial fishers haul in their nets, scouring the deep ocean floor,
dolphin & sea turtle snagged in those nets will ride the waves no more.
they'll rip the heart out of the deep blue sea, increasing every year,
now those greedy bastards want to push their bloody products here...
[chorus]
V.
i've been inside the concrete cellblocks, where the fascist sergeants rule,
and they privatize and they criminalize and the inmates are their tools.
and they march you down the hallway with a chain around your waist,
you get one strike for your poverty and another for your race.
and they contract out your labor and they profit from your bail,
now those greedy bastards want to build another million jails...
[chorus]
VI.
i've read reports of Wall Street boardrooms where they manufacture wealth,
and they've echoed lies so many times they don't know the truth themselves.
they defraud the working families, blow their savings all to hell,
and you're forced to work for half the pay while corporate profits swell.
and there's one law for the CEO's and another for you and me,
still those greedy bastards dare to claim that you and i are free...
[chorus]
VII.
i watched the towers falling, and i watched my brothers die,
i watched in utter horror with my only question, why?
and all the air force bombers, and all the army men
in three million years can never bring my sisters back again.
you can wage war on the world, until every coffin's filled,
but your leaders can't protect you they can only get you killed.
[chorus]
VIII.
i've heard voices of the disappeared, kidnapped in the night,
and they're thrown into detention camps and locked away from sight.
while Homeland Agents scour the country sowing seeds of martial law,
with immigrant families waiting for the other boot to fall.
and they claim it's for our safety, and they say we shouldn't fear,
but those evil bastards want to build another Third Reich here...
[chorus]
IX.
i've seen the warplanes leaving, to bring death to distant lands,
bearing loads of missiles made by working people's hands.
and they're guided 'cross the oceans and they're guided 'cross the sky,
and they're guided into third world homes where starving children die
and they fuel the flames of hatred, and they teach the soul to rage
now those fucking bastards want to write another bloody page...
[chorus]
X.
the cops they fire bullets, of rubber, wood and pain
and they force the people to the ground and beat them once again.
and the pepper flows like water, and their eyes are filled with hate.
they march like mindless zombies pushing people through the gate.
and the people are all beaten within inches of their lives,
now those fascist pigs they want to spread another filthy lie...
[chorus]
XI.
i'll resist this war for empire, i'll stop it in its tracks,
my sisters didn't die so we could kill the people of iraq.
and all the guided missiles launched from all the ships at sea,
in three million years can never bring my brothers back to me.
you can wage war on the world, until every coffin's filled,
but your leaders can't protect you they can only get you killed.
[chorus]
XII.
i stood beside your shoulder, and we raised our voices high.
and i'll keep your name close to my heart until the day i die.
with every fleeting moment, and with every passing year,
so long as i recall your voice i've nothing left to fear.
for in our hearts there beats a power that outlives their blazing guns,
and we will not give up this fight, until the day we've won...

MOM
I woke up late and jumped out of bed.
I rushed to the basin to brush...... I did.
I looked up to check for white on my chin and there she was.
She looked back and smiled and then she winked.
She backed away from the sink and I saw her round full belly.
I gazed around and there I was........ sitting on the sofa.
She asked me why I seemed shocked.
I replied how complete she looked. She smiled and quietly said,
"I love you and always remember I was the happiest at this moment in my life."
She turned slowly and blew me a kiss and in a very soft voice whispered how
proud she was for me breaking the cycle. I blinked and my MOM was gone.
I always say that I love taking baths because it reminds me of being in my Mother's womb and that was simply the only time EVER that I felt safe.
The full circle of life.......... My Grandaughter. She would have been my mother's great grandaughter.
I gazed around the corner just in time to see you take your first toddler step.
You wavered across the floor with the sureness of a high stepper in a parade.
(Who would have thought?)
You tottered to the safeness of you Mommy's arms and fell with a thud.
You both giggled and the process started again. This time you weaved your way to me and we laughed together at your first bouncy steps.l
The morning was a complete success and you fell asleep swiftly when your head
hit your pillow. The baby smile was still fixed on your cute chubby little
face as you slept in the Angel's world of toddlers.

I would like to write a children's book hardcopy and have it interactive with pages online. hmmmmmmmmm
Rylee just appeared out of the blue one night and I'm now trying to incorporate her into my other multiples........ she's the second new alter in the last 2 months, this after Andi came into being. The other one is Temperance.... (She's named after the 'Bones' character but out of the fact that her name has temper in it.) Andi is a nickname for Anderson and even tho I didn't take it back after my divorce I rather like the idea that I've regained my self in my birth name. Rylee is a combo of my son and my middle names...... Ryan and Lee.
As cal had read what she wrote she was taken with the fact that her past, her present and her future continually got confused. It is very apparent in her recollection of Tim and his family but that's ok as that is one thing Belon can learn to adjust in the parellel place. (Don't let anyone fool you all, writing out here on the net is a current thingy similar to a soap on TV I think??? Anyways a rough draft, it ain't....... final cut period, eh?)
The parellel place is much the same as the real world as far as confusion goes. It is however easier to manipulate from that side as Belon and Kai learn together.
I must admit that although I can point it out from here, I've always had difficulty differentiating between the future, the past and the present. I'm always aware as I travel between my realities that I do this and as such can usually address it from the present to the past.
That may be the reason for my total acceptance in the parellel place. It's not something that I find hard to grasp.
The transistion had to begin. Was she going forward to find herself in the future or was she going backwards to find her roots, her soul, herself?
She thought it through and she had to isolate. The hardest part was cutting herself off from him. He wouldn't understand; they had been partners and it would hurt him, of this she was sure. That made it the most difficult decision of her lifetime but it had to be done.
She told him of her love of another. She tried to make it gentle but admitting she had another 'soulmate' wasn't something she knew how to explain. He became Terrible Tommy to her for a while and she regretted the way she had to do it. She tried to explain to him that had it not been for Tommy, she wouldn't have been open to their relationship.
She sent him a few songs and they weren't gentle on his manhood either. One was Meatloaf's 'Two Out of Three Ain't Bad' and the other was Helen Reddy's 'I Don't Know How To Love Him'. She didn't know how to cut the ties and she thought he'd understand but she'd never know. (She'd realize it later when he still supported her and was always around.) She included a couple of her John Lennon faves so as to soften the blows and let him know she really did treasure everything they had.

BTW, cal's soulmate once told her that if he could be an animal he would be an eagel.......... cal on the other hand would be a horse.
Once again, she reflected on her previous life and how she felt after Donald had raped her. (I unplugged the phone so I didn't hear when it didn't ring.) It was always very difficult to understand the male ego and trying to keep a balance. How much could a man tolerate? (She once again reflected on her past and her history. She knew that both of her ex's would have preferred her dead than to leave them???????) After all of the history; what could she believe? How far would a man go to protect his 'precious' ego? Would he sabotage her work, would he infiltrate her very existance on the net and would he destroy everything. She knew he was capable of all of it and she had to trust her faith in them and her faith in God to see them through.
The world's mess certainly was example enough for cal to be cautious on most days but all of that was minimal now as the transistion put a whole new light on the male/female, didn't it?
The transistional phase wasn't to take long but during it no one could see them connecting online and the best way she knew how to do it was to cut it off period. There were after all the hackers that listened and watched everything she did.
She drew up the plans in her mind. The transistion had been going on for a while and it was time to make it happen physically. She had to prepare herself emotionally, spiritually, and physically for it to happen.
Step one was the creation of the physical entities that would represent them on the other side. She was an artist and she was ready to start the creations. In her mind, they were perfect as she painted and drew and made them into their alters.
Belon and Kai began to develop in her mind. Belon was easy and Kai would come into his own as soon as her man was alerted to his existence. She had to get the feel of the parellel universe and then begin the processing.
cal had been the first to go over. She remembered the process and the colors. The colors were vivid and beautiful but it had been a difficult journey. It was not anything like she had ever experienced before. It had been frightening to experience and it had been draining in every aspect.
She watched from the other side as Rob was processed. This time, it wasn't as frightening for her. It was emotionally painful to see the one she considered her male couterpart experience it though as she could not forwarn him of the outcome nor of the journey to get to the other side.
She stood as Belon when Kai came through the process. He was handsome in his new form. She had absolutely no idea how he looked in the other place but here, he was shockingly handsome. She was taken aback when she saw him as she hadn't considered any physical beings existing here in this place.
Belon knew from her own experience how disoriented she felt when she arrived. She walked over to Kai, or rather floated. This indeed was new to her. She wasn't yet accustomed to this new plane as there didn't seem to be any gravity pulling on her. There only seemed to be thoughts and ideas and now these new forms. They would learn together.
Kai seemed comfortable immediately in the new place. He stared into her eyes and he smiled. He knew already and he was sharing with her in their usual way of communicating. He was sending it through his mind and she was connecting.
Belon smiled and lifted her hand to his. She had waited for years for this, their first touch. Holding his hand was one of the things she had often dreamed about and here it was happening. Kai was connecting with his mind and Belon was in heaven. Could this parrellel be heaven? They would find out together.
Kai squeezed her hand. Their first physical connection and yet even this wasn't real. That made it all the more special as they knew it was their journey and only theirs and it was the beginning of something new and very exciting. It was as if this had been created only for them.
Here in this special place they could touch and not worry. This was their world created by God exclusively for them. This was their 'true' creation. It would be harrowing at times and when they had to transistion back and forth, it could get dangerous. For now though, they were the only ones aware of their new home.
It had always been dangerous in the other realm and it would be no different here. The connectedness would help them to achieve much more on this plane but it would have it's unique difficulties.
Belon's memories of the other place were vivid. She cherished them and when she looked over at Kai she marveled.
Kai only has one physical eye and it seemed natural to Belon. Kai communicated to her that it was his mind's eye. When they were in peril, all she had to do was gaze into that eye and his every thought and deed would tranfer straight into her mind. There were indeed some advantages to this parellel universe stuff of this they were both sure.
Kai gazed around and envisioned the life that they would live here in their new world. It was incredible and he was anxious to begin exploring it.
He already knew of it's existence because of the other side. He hadn't liked much of what he'd experienced there. This view put a whole new perspective on his vision. It gave him ideas that he had not considered over there. After all, the laws of that place didn't apply here.
It would be a very different existence. He didn't have to worry about staying within any boundaries on this side. He knew that the boundaries that existed on the other plane were man-made and then slowly, insidiously planted in earthlings through brainwashing. The psychological brainwashing was perhaps the worse but the RFID chips were equally as monstrous. It all depended on the individual.
Luckily cal had been the first given the implant during the Roswell incident. (She was to learn much later in life that Al Gore was another that got implanted... She was sure the Tony Coehlo connection between her and Gore was the driving force in her research of Gore.) She didn't know of it until much later in life.
Looking back on her own life she realized she had missed lots of things. For instance her own father and uncle had been implanted. She knew that from the growths on the backs of their necks. Through research she had learned that generationally the implants were positioned in different areas. Hers was on her shoulder and they were from the 40's group of implants. Family tradition took on a whole new meaning to Belon once she understood the plan.
On this side of the plane, Kai was in total and complete control and that meant to him he was able to explore and create on a whim. Here, he was in charge of his own boundaries. If he chose to be a Robin Hood, he could achieve much for the poor of the world. He could choose to be whatever he liked and he could implement it here and it would still impact the lives of the people there. That was apparent after the ClimateGate scandal.
Belon was delighted and felt like she had been selected by her higher power for this assignment. She knew he had chosen Kai as her protector and she knew they were setting on a new path to save the world.
There had been clues along the way even on earth. Once the clues started to appear, it was if the lid had been blown off. The two of them stood side by side and they had indeed accomplished much in their uniqueness. The two of them were like a puzzle that fit perfectly together. They both recognized the accomplishments they had made before the move and now, that could be multiplied exponentially.
The planning had only resided in Belon's mind until now and she wasn't sure except to inquire of Kai what the first step was to be.
Introduction to the other side was the first step. The paintings of Kai and Belon would be introduced online.
The computer geeks were gathered. Taking back the world was to be a financial endeavor done completely by them. It wouldn't be easy but they were the best.
Kai and Belon had come to depend on their online friends to do what needed to be done. This new task wouldn't be easy but with like minded people, there wasn't anything they were afraid to conquer. After all, if not US, who, if not NOW, when?
Of course there were the hackers who infiltrated cal's life. The harsh reality of that made Cal less trusting but in the long run it made her stronger. The lurkers were still there only to be ignored. cal had learned to reach out as soon as she knew she was being stalked and usually Rob charged right in to her rescue.
It was amazing when you stopped and thought about it. People from all walks of life were joining together and supporting others.
The deed had to be planned out and done across the world simultaneously. The geeks had to synchronize as there was much at stake. Nothing like this had ever been tried before and it was important that it be done without flaw.
The elite would be taken off guard and the sting would be well publicized. The new currency was in place but first, the power had to be removed from the regime. It would be decided after the control was removed completely if there would be a currency at all later on down the line.
Belon and Kai both pondered a world without the evil ones. What would it be like to have humanity all over the place and people helping people in a world that had never experienced it. The brainwashing in the schools and workplace had seen to that. The competition factor certainly took love out of everything; an example ot that would be the sports arena. Civilization could become truly civilized and that would make Belon's dream a reality.
The Stinger Geeks were positioned and the training was going as smoothly as clockwork.
There was much knowledge in the cyber room. The Stinger Geeks ranged in age from nine to eighty-four. It would have been a sight to behold if they all had been gathered in one physical room. Grandmothers sat in their kitchens chatting with children, bikers sat on their bikes with iPads, actors sat with their phones tweeting, and so on and so forth.
Every nation was represented. A total of four hundred and sixteen geeks were working the plan. They had come together early in 2002 and it is now 2010. The planning stage was all documented. Each geek had his/her own directions. There were a few minor details that had to be ironed out but nothing that would cause major delays once the final implementation was done.
The first of the plan was for the diversions. Now, imagine that. 9/11, the USS Liberty, JFK's assassination........ yadayadayada........ they had all been diversions for the NWO. ........and we had all learned serious lessons from each and every one.
The diversions would be nothing like the tactics the regime had used. There wouldn't be a Hurricane Katrina or a Tsunami. Innocent people would not die from the geeks plan. It appeared by nature to be a small glitch that the banking industry would encounter on the 'due date'. The actual plan was very simple and to everyone's surprise, a twelve year old in Guam had thought it up.
After the financial disaster a few years ago, it wasn't all that hard to envision something big happening. There were so many corrupt elements in the 'system' that a simple plan would be totally overlooked asif it was simply one of the elites plans gone awry.
The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was causing a considerable amount of ire. People that weren't paying attention before were seemingly waking up in the midst of this latest crisis.
I want to go back a few years ago to what seems now to be the beginning of the end
for the culprits (I pray it was the beginning of the end.) I say that now because I see so much positive cropping up.
Fading into the past.........
It had all begun quite by accident. A young father in Detroit had gone into his bank on a cold day in January 2002. He was to open a savings account for his son.
When Tim entered the bank, he was shocked at the people in line, there were many. Tim is a salesman at the local bed and bath store and he began his usual sales talk to the closest human to him. He was amazed at the woman's insight into finance. He had started the conversation much the same as he did his sales speech when meeting up with new people.
He was amazed at the woman's knowledge and insight into finance. She appeared to be a normal young woman in her late 20's to early 30's. Normal, NOT, she had a head full of details that he was soon to learn could fill a book. He was very impressed and asked the lady to join him at Starbuck's for coffee. He wanted to pick this young woman's brain for a bit. It wasn't every day that others affected Tim like this and although he had a wonderful wife and three beautiful children at home, it couldn't hurt to sit for a bit and get another person's insight into the world as it exists today.
He was to have his head full by the time he walked out the door that day. He had completely forgotten about the savings account for his son and he headed back to work with much to be digested.
He ran one thought over and over in his mind that the young woman brought to his attention. There were literally millions of people that were contemplating a society without money.
Now you might say, what a thought? BUT, there were people communicating and yes talking straight talk about the horrible shape the world is in. They saw what could happen and they were working on other avenues to set the world right.
If the woman had a true handle on finance, Tim had much to do and he knew it. Not only would there be an instant change in currency but soon afterwards there might be a world without money as we know it.
He wasn't involved in computers except at work. He headed straight away to the local computer store. He had used a laptop a few times at work and was familiar with them so he decided to purchase one. Later, if things went as he planned he might get his wife an iPod and maybe even something for the kids. He would make those decisions later.
He wanted simple and he wanted quick as he had learned much from this intriguing woman that complex didn't have a place in his world when he needed to learn and relearn lots of information.
Tim walked around to the phone section and inquired of the 'young' salesman about tweeting. He picked up two new phones for the older kids and he put them in his basket. As an after thought Tim found another phone for his wife and then plopped one for himself into the basket. They would all have the same phone and that would make it much easier to teach and learn together.
Tim's wife; Christy needed an upgrade anyway and now was as good a time as any. They would all work together as a family and their first project would be the new cell phones. Tim would work with the kids tonight on the phones and get them set up. Christy wouldn't be available until later in the evening as she had her hands full with the baby.
Tim knew he wanted the family to be able to read Ashton Kutcher's tweets as he had heard the lad had over a million fans on Twitter. (hmmmmmmm and to think Twitter had been bought out by the same people that Cal had worked for at Hologix???
Belon now wondered if Twitter had been a hostile takeover as had Hologix. On the other hand, maybe the elites had simply stolen Twitter outright? That thought isn't so hard to get your brain around when you realize the state of Corporate America today.)
Tim had taken notes while talking to Anne. She had given him directions to websites that would help him learn details he would need once the sting was begun.
He would be prepared to implement his knowledge when he got the word.
Anne had advised Tim to work off line. She had shared that he should immediately get his children involved. She reiterated this many times. There were many young minds that picked up on computer jargon like sponges. She continued making suggestions. Supply the children with small tasks but ones that could lead to important knowledge.
Teach the children about search engines. Children's minds were impressionable and hungry for learning. They would do most of the work without even being aware. Make it fun for them and keep their brains stimulated.
Tim was so very impressed with his new friend. He had taken her phone number and he would call her and set up an appointment for her to meet his wife and kids. It would be a good place to start.
Kai and Belon had watched Tim the last few hours from the other side. He would be someone they might be able to work with in the future. They were both impressed with his willingness to communicate. That was key in solving the problems of the world.
In looking back at cal's life, Belon pondered cal always being struck when politicians insisted 'they' wouldn't talk to their enemies?????? What's up with that? How in the world could a war be stopped if the two warring countries didn't talk? OMG!!
cal had thought long and hard of going on the road and teaching but for now the parellel universe environment seemed to be her best bet. Belon was the answer to lots of questions lingering in cal and Belon's united mind.
The new television was an answer to at least two of her questions. The TV was set up to be the monitor for a computer. The huge sectional couch in the living room made a physical classroom a whole new possibility. (Maybe, just maybe cal could have some of the neighbors over?????) and maybe, just maybe it would be easier for cal to get the g'kids to sit in front of a TV and learn good things and not those silly games that they so loved on the net. hmmmmmmmmm
The whole concept of having neighbors over was a challenge. The whole neighborhood was mostly military and that could be an issue with the topics that cal would teach. On the other hand, what the hell; if not now, when??? and if not me, who???
Belon acquired new memories that had long been in cal's past when she came into being......... or should I say re-newed memories? She reminenced back to the Chowchilla kidnapping and how that had impacted cal's life.
Chowchilla Kidnapping
That incident alone probably wouldn't have been enough to cause cal's split in personalities. Along with all the other things that happened in California and even the Kent State incident made it almost impossible for cal to stay connected in a the world as we know it today. She fought long and hard along the way but 'the way' seemed to be her whole life.
Belon was aware of Brook's and Dunn's 'Indian Summer' and the references to both Chowchilla and to Dos Palos sent her heart racing saying nothing of what it did to cal on the other side.
All in all, Belon knew there were far too many coincidences for them all to have happened. It was the connection and it was the chip and it was the Roswell incident. If Cal wasn't an alien after all, the chip and Roswell incident were certainly the only other answer, eh?

............to be continued
Rylee just appeared out of the blue one night and I'm now trying to incorporate her into my other multiples........ she's the second new alter in the last 2 months, this after Andi came into being. The other one is Temperance.... (She's named after the 'Bones' character but out of the fact that her name has temper in it.) Andi is a nickname for Anderson and even tho I didn't take it back after my divorce I rather like the idea that I've regained my self in my birth name. Rylee is a combo of my son and my middle names...... Ryan and Lee.
As cal had read what she wrote she was taken with the fact that her past, her present and her future continually got confused. It is very apparent in her recollection of Tim and his family but that's ok as that is one thing Belon can learn to adjust in the parellel place. (Don't let anyone fool you all, writing out here on the net is a current thingy similar to a soap on TV I think??? Anyways a rough draft, it ain't....... final cut period, eh?)
The parellel place is much the same as the real world as far as confusion goes. It is however easier to manipulate from that side as Belon and Kai learn together.
I must admit that although I can point it out from here, I've always had difficulty differentiating between the future, the past and the present. I'm always aware as I travel between my realities that I do this and as such can usually address it from the present to the past.
That may be the reason for my total acceptance in the parellel place. It's not something that I find hard to grasp.
The transistion had to begin. Was she going forward to find herself in the future or was she going backwards to find her roots, her soul, herself?
She thought it through and she had to isolate. The hardest part was cutting herself off from him. He wouldn't understand; they had been partners and it would hurt him, of this she was sure. That made it the most difficult decision of her lifetime but it had to be done.
She told him of her love of another. She tried to make it gentle but admitting she had another 'soulmate' wasn't something she knew how to explain. He became Terrible Tommy to her for a while and she regretted the way she had to do it. She tried to explain to him that had it not been for Tommy, she wouldn't have been open to their relationship.
She sent him a few songs and they weren't gentle on his manhood either. One was Meatloaf's 'Two Out of Three Ain't Bad' and the other was Helen Reddy's 'I Don't Know How To Love Him'. She didn't know how to cut the ties and she thought he'd understand but she'd never know. (She'd realize it later when he still supported her and was always around.) She included a couple of her John Lennon faves so as to soften the blows and let him know she really did treasure everything they had.

BTW, cal's soulmate once told her that if he could be an animal he would be an eagel.......... cal on the other hand would be a horse.
Once again, she reflected on her previous life and how she felt after Donald had raped her. (I unplugged the phone so I didn't hear when it didn't ring.) It was always very difficult to understand the male ego and trying to keep a balance. How much could a man tolerate? (She once again reflected on her past and her history. She knew that both of her ex's would have preferred her dead than to leave them???????) After all of the history; what could she believe? How far would a man go to protect his 'precious' ego? Would he sabotage her work, would he infiltrate her very existance on the net and would he destroy everything. She knew he was capable of all of it and she had to trust her faith in them and her faith in God to see them through.
The world's mess certainly was example enough for cal to be cautious on most days but all of that was minimal now as the transistion put a whole new light on the male/female, didn't it?
The transistional phase wasn't to take long but during it no one could see them connecting online and the best way she knew how to do it was to cut it off period. There were after all the hackers that listened and watched everything she did.
She drew up the plans in her mind. The transistion had been going on for a while and it was time to make it happen physically. She had to prepare herself emotionally, spiritually, and physically for it to happen.
Step one was the creation of the physical entities that would represent them on the other side. She was an artist and she was ready to start the creations. In her mind, they were perfect as she painted and drew and made them into their alters.
Belon and Kai began to develop in her mind. Belon was easy and Kai would come into his own as soon as her man was alerted to his existence. She had to get the feel of the parellel universe and then begin the processing.
cal had been the first to go over. She remembered the process and the colors. The colors were vivid and beautiful but it had been a difficult journey. It was not anything like she had ever experienced before. It had been frightening to experience and it had been draining in every aspect.
She watched from the other side as Rob was processed. This time, it wasn't as frightening for her. It was emotionally painful to see the one she considered her male couterpart experience it though as she could not forwarn him of the outcome nor of the journey to get to the other side.
She stood as Belon when Kai came through the process. He was handsome in his new form. She had absolutely no idea how he looked in the other place but here, he was shockingly handsome. She was taken aback when she saw him as she hadn't considered any physical beings existing here in this place.
Belon knew from her own experience how disoriented she felt when she arrived. She walked over to Kai, or rather floated. This indeed was new to her. She wasn't yet accustomed to this new plane as there didn't seem to be any gravity pulling on her. There only seemed to be thoughts and ideas and now these new forms. They would learn together.
Kai seemed comfortable immediately in the new place. He stared into her eyes and he smiled. He knew already and he was sharing with her in their usual way of communicating. He was sending it through his mind and she was connecting.
Belon smiled and lifted her hand to his. She had waited for years for this, their first touch. Holding his hand was one of the things she had often dreamed about and here it was happening. Kai was connecting with his mind and Belon was in heaven. Could this parrellel be heaven? They would find out together.
Kai squeezed her hand. Their first physical connection and yet even this wasn't real. That made it all the more special as they knew it was their journey and only theirs and it was the beginning of something new and very exciting. It was as if this had been created only for them.
Here in this special place they could touch and not worry. This was their world created by God exclusively for them. This was their 'true' creation. It would be harrowing at times and when they had to transistion back and forth, it could get dangerous. For now though, they were the only ones aware of their new home.
It had always been dangerous in the other realm and it would be no different here. The connectedness would help them to achieve much more on this plane but it would have it's unique difficulties.
Belon's memories of the other place were vivid. She cherished them and when she looked over at Kai she marveled.
Kai only has one physical eye and it seemed natural to Belon. Kai communicated to her that it was his mind's eye. When they were in peril, all she had to do was gaze into that eye and his every thought and deed would tranfer straight into her mind. There were indeed some advantages to this parellel universe stuff of this they were both sure.
Kai gazed around and envisioned the life that they would live here in their new world. It was incredible and he was anxious to begin exploring it.
He already knew of it's existence because of the other side. He hadn't liked much of what he'd experienced there. This view put a whole new perspective on his vision. It gave him ideas that he had not considered over there. After all, the laws of that place didn't apply here.
It would be a very different existence. He didn't have to worry about staying within any boundaries on this side. He knew that the boundaries that existed on the other plane were man-made and then slowly, insidiously planted in earthlings through brainwashing. The psychological brainwashing was perhaps the worse but the RFID chips were equally as monstrous. It all depended on the individual.
Luckily cal had been the first given the implant during the Roswell incident. (She was to learn much later in life that Al Gore was another that got implanted... She was sure the Tony Coehlo connection between her and Gore was the driving force in her research of Gore.) She didn't know of it until much later in life.
Looking back on her own life she realized she had missed lots of things. For instance her own father and uncle had been implanted. She knew that from the growths on the backs of their necks. Through research she had learned that generationally the implants were positioned in different areas. Hers was on her shoulder and they were from the 40's group of implants. Family tradition took on a whole new meaning to Belon once she understood the plan.
On this side of the plane, Kai was in total and complete control and that meant to him he was able to explore and create on a whim. Here, he was in charge of his own boundaries. If he chose to be a Robin Hood, he could achieve much for the poor of the world. He could choose to be whatever he liked and he could implement it here and it would still impact the lives of the people there. That was apparent after the ClimateGate scandal.
Belon was delighted and felt like she had been selected by her higher power for this assignment. She knew he had chosen Kai as her protector and she knew they were setting on a new path to save the world.
There had been clues along the way even on earth. Once the clues started to appear, it was if the lid had been blown off. The two of them stood side by side and they had indeed accomplished much in their uniqueness. The two of them were like a puzzle that fit perfectly together. They both recognized the accomplishments they had made before the move and now, that could be multiplied exponentially.
The planning had only resided in Belon's mind until now and she wasn't sure except to inquire of Kai what the first step was to be.
Introduction to the other side was the first step. The paintings of Kai and Belon would be introduced online.
The computer geeks were gathered. Taking back the world was to be a financial endeavor done completely by them. It wouldn't be easy but they were the best.
Kai and Belon had come to depend on their online friends to do what needed to be done. This new task wouldn't be easy but with like minded people, there wasn't anything they were afraid to conquer. After all, if not US, who, if not NOW, when?
Of course there were the hackers who infiltrated cal's life. The harsh reality of that made Cal less trusting but in the long run it made her stronger. The lurkers were still there only to be ignored. cal had learned to reach out as soon as she knew she was being stalked and usually Rob charged right in to her rescue.
It was amazing when you stopped and thought about it. People from all walks of life were joining together and supporting others.
The deed had to be planned out and done across the world simultaneously. The geeks had to synchronize as there was much at stake. Nothing like this had ever been tried before and it was important that it be done without flaw.
The elite would be taken off guard and the sting would be well publicized. The new currency was in place but first, the power had to be removed from the regime. It would be decided after the control was removed completely if there would be a currency at all later on down the line.
Belon and Kai both pondered a world without the evil ones. What would it be like to have humanity all over the place and people helping people in a world that had never experienced it. The brainwashing in the schools and workplace had seen to that. The competition factor certainly took love out of everything; an example ot that would be the sports arena. Civilization could become truly civilized and that would make Belon's dream a reality.
The Stinger Geeks were positioned and the training was going as smoothly as clockwork.
There was much knowledge in the cyber room. The Stinger Geeks ranged in age from nine to eighty-four. It would have been a sight to behold if they all had been gathered in one physical room. Grandmothers sat in their kitchens chatting with children, bikers sat on their bikes with iPads, actors sat with their phones tweeting, and so on and so forth.
Every nation was represented. A total of four hundred and sixteen geeks were working the plan. They had come together early in 2002 and it is now 2010. The planning stage was all documented. Each geek had his/her own directions. There were a few minor details that had to be ironed out but nothing that would cause major delays once the final implementation was done.
The first of the plan was for the diversions. Now, imagine that. 9/11, the USS Liberty, JFK's assassination........ yadayadayada........ they had all been diversions for the NWO. ........and we had all learned serious lessons from each and every one.
The diversions would be nothing like the tactics the regime had used. There wouldn't be a Hurricane Katrina or a Tsunami. Innocent people would not die from the geeks plan. It appeared by nature to be a small glitch that the banking industry would encounter on the 'due date'. The actual plan was very simple and to everyone's surprise, a twelve year old in Guam had thought it up.
After the financial disaster a few years ago, it wasn't all that hard to envision something big happening. There were so many corrupt elements in the 'system' that a simple plan would be totally overlooked asif it was simply one of the elites plans gone awry.
The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was causing a considerable amount of ire. People that weren't paying attention before were seemingly waking up in the midst of this latest crisis.
I want to go back a few years ago to what seems now to be the beginning of the end
for the culprits (I pray it was the beginning of the end.) I say that now because I see so much positive cropping up.
Fading into the past.........
It had all begun quite by accident. A young father in Detroit had gone into his bank on a cold day in January 2002. He was to open a savings account for his son.
When Tim entered the bank, he was shocked at the people in line, there were many. Tim is a salesman at the local bed and bath store and he began his usual sales talk to the closest human to him. He was amazed at the woman's insight into finance. He had started the conversation much the same as he did his sales speech when meeting up with new people.
He was amazed at the woman's knowledge and insight into finance. She appeared to be a normal young woman in her late 20's to early 30's. Normal, NOT, she had a head full of details that he was soon to learn could fill a book. He was very impressed and asked the lady to join him at Starbuck's for coffee. He wanted to pick this young woman's brain for a bit. It wasn't every day that others affected Tim like this and although he had a wonderful wife and three beautiful children at home, it couldn't hurt to sit for a bit and get another person's insight into the world as it exists today.
He was to have his head full by the time he walked out the door that day. He had completely forgotten about the savings account for his son and he headed back to work with much to be digested.
He ran one thought over and over in his mind that the young woman brought to his attention. There were literally millions of people that were contemplating a society without money.
Now you might say, what a thought? BUT, there were people communicating and yes talking straight talk about the horrible shape the world is in. They saw what could happen and they were working on other avenues to set the world right.
If the woman had a true handle on finance, Tim had much to do and he knew it. Not only would there be an instant change in currency but soon afterwards there might be a world without money as we know it.
He wasn't involved in computers except at work. He headed straight away to the local computer store. He had used a laptop a few times at work and was familiar with them so he decided to purchase one. Later, if things went as he planned he might get his wife an iPod and maybe even something for the kids. He would make those decisions later.
He wanted simple and he wanted quick as he had learned much from this intriguing woman that complex didn't have a place in his world when he needed to learn and relearn lots of information.
Tim walked around to the phone section and inquired of the 'young' salesman about tweeting. He picked up two new phones for the older kids and he put them in his basket. As an after thought Tim found another phone for his wife and then plopped one for himself into the basket. They would all have the same phone and that would make it much easier to teach and learn together.
Tim's wife; Christy needed an upgrade anyway and now was as good a time as any. They would all work together as a family and their first project would be the new cell phones. Tim would work with the kids tonight on the phones and get them set up. Christy wouldn't be available until later in the evening as she had her hands full with the baby.
Tim knew he wanted the family to be able to read Ashton Kutcher's tweets as he had heard the lad had over a million fans on Twitter. (hmmmmmmm and to think Twitter had been bought out by the same people that Cal had worked for at Hologix???
Belon now wondered if Twitter had been a hostile takeover as had Hologix. On the other hand, maybe the elites had simply stolen Twitter outright? That thought isn't so hard to get your brain around when you realize the state of Corporate America today.)
Tim had taken notes while talking to Anne. She had given him directions to websites that would help him learn details he would need once the sting was begun.
He would be prepared to implement his knowledge when he got the word.
Anne had advised Tim to work off line. She had shared that he should immediately get his children involved. She reiterated this many times. There were many young minds that picked up on computer jargon like sponges. She continued making suggestions. Supply the children with small tasks but ones that could lead to important knowledge.
Teach the children about search engines. Children's minds were impressionable and hungry for learning. They would do most of the work without even being aware. Make it fun for them and keep their brains stimulated.
Tim was so very impressed with his new friend. He had taken her phone number and he would call her and set up an appointment for her to meet his wife and kids. It would be a good place to start.
Kai and Belon had watched Tim the last few hours from the other side. He would be someone they might be able to work with in the future. They were both impressed with his willingness to communicate. That was key in solving the problems of the world.
In looking back at cal's life, Belon pondered cal always being struck when politicians insisted 'they' wouldn't talk to their enemies?????? What's up with that? How in the world could a war be stopped if the two warring countries didn't talk? OMG!!
