The Politics of Food
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB0aaVB2oEI ...
It is about the book, "In Defense Of Food" by Michael Pollan PhD Berkeley University Author of In Defense Of Food http://michaelpollan.com/
Over the years, I have noticed three best food advocate organizations that really know what is going on. They are listed below.. 1,2 and 3.
1: The Union Of Concerned Scientists http://www.ucsusa.org
Food and Agriculture and the UCS http://www.ucsusa.org/food_and_agriculture/
Note: An FYI with regard to what you can do about this is posted at one of my "other blogs" :
An Organic Food Fight with Nobel Laureates
Excerpt:
More than 60 influential scientists, including over 40 Nobel laureates are mobilizing scientists and citizens alike to push for reforms that will protect our health, safety, and environment.
The Scientific Integrity Program from the Union of Concerned Scientists http://www.ucsusa.org/scientific_integrity/
End of excerpt.
The main page of the Union Of Concerned Scientists http://www.ucsusa.org They also cover the vast majority of other issues, such as alternative energy, global warming, to nuclear arms and nuclear energy. If you are "confused" by the main stream media on some of these topics, you might want to find out what a group of the worlds best scientists have to say about it.
The UCS puts out "Action Alerts" regarding legislation. Sign up and help us all out. Including yourself and yours.
2:
The Environmental Working group and their news letters www.ewg.org
The EWG tested the most common NOT ORGANIC fruits and veggies and listed them from the least toxic to the most and has posted it as a free "shopping guide" report at their web page.
Check their web page for details. www.ewg.org Or copy the address into another browser.
The EWG also puts out "Action Alerts" regarding legislation.
The EWG has exposed such "situations" as Baby Green Organic Lettuce having the highest concentration of a toxic chemical called perchlorate (a rocket fuel additive).
For an example, try the Google search terms;
"rocket fuel baby green organic lettuce EWG"
Google searches: "perchlorate in fertilizer" and "The Organic Scam"
3: Physicians for Social Responsibility is a non-profit advocacy
organization that is the medical and public health voice for policies
to prevent nuclear war and proliferation and to slow, stop and reverse
global warming and toxic degradation of the environment. PSR's 32,400

The Toxic Victims of violent crime. Might the violent criminals behavior be influenced by exposures to toxic chemicals and or their diet ?
One of my blogs is titled "Environmental Connections: Toxic Victims or mentally ill"
The blog gives a peer reviewed medical journal that exposes most mental illnesses being caused by toxic chemical exposures. And I strongly suspect that many violent people are also "toxic victims" and give supportive documentation for that at one of my other blogs titled; "Suicide- Homicide and the Biochemistry of Crime" Theory and research posted with reference material

Please be advised that this blog is a work in progress.
This blog is being edited and corrected, but my browser has crashed five times while working on it, today. Links to reference material have been corrected with the issues of "police accountability and taser deaths have been added. A more comprehensive report will eventually be posted, here at this blog.
Please let me know if any of the reference links go down and or are moved, again.
The vast majority of policeman are heroes that risk their lives to serve and protect.
Craig Futterman, a Clinical Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School, Melissa Mather, a Clinical Lecturer, and Melanie Miles, a recent law graduate, have released a major study of the Chicago Police Department’s supervisory and disciplinary practices. This study presents a comprehensive analysis, based on the most current statistics, of the CPD’s “broken system” for investigating complaints of civilian abuse. You can read the study here (PDF, 456K). It is titled " The Chicago Police Department's Broken System"It is posted at: http://www.law.uchicago.edu/mandel/police/brokensystem.htmlIn the report, it is well documented that less than 5% of policeman are responsible for well over half of the complaints of police brutality.
Another report that is also titled "Broken System II" documents the high percentage of Death Row inmates that have been proven to be innocent. It is posted at: http://www2.law.columbia.edu/brokensystem2/ The real problem appears to be the "unaccountable by contract" regardless of people being shot, tasered, beaten or pepper sprayed. For example, 99% of the "reported" police abuse in Chicago has gone unpunished. In reference:
Study: Police abuse goes unpunished by Ryan Gallagher April 04, 2007 Medill Reports is written and produced by graduate journalism students at Northwestern University The article is posted at:> http://news.medill...northwestern.edu/chicago/news...aspx?id=6125
-----
The "culture of silence" that is most often called "The Blue Code Of Silence" is also a factor. But not as glaring (in my mind) as the unaccountability once the "The Blue Code Of Silence" is broken.
The Google search terms; "5% responsible for 50% of police abuse" reveals more information on that aspect.
So I will skip to the next subject of taser's.
Amnesty International has documented over 334 taser deaths. This amounts to more deaths than those caused by Firestone tires.
How ever, I must stress that an acquaintance of mine was shot several times in the chest by police. While he nearly died from his wounds, I expect in all probability that he would have preferred to have been tasered or drugged (3).
Demetria Kalodimos of Nashville (WSMV) News did a story about Nashville banning tasers for a couple of years and using a knock out medication, in place of tasers (3). After banning the use of tasers, Nashville brought them back with more restrictions on the use of them and more training for police.
Policies for the use of tasers across the entire country have resulted in more deaths than Firestone tires due to the misrepresentation of the dangers associated with tasers.
While tasers can be and are a useful law enforcement tool, restrictions on the use of tasers need to be modified and policies altered accordingly.
Other communities across our Nation have done extensive studies on the use of tasers and have also reached some conclusions.
Excerpt from a well done report regarding the use of tasers by the Committee on a Civil, Safe, and Open Environment
The CSOE Committee recognizes that, as reflected in the UFPD policy a taser is an intermediate, less than lethal, weapon, and should be used only when it is appropriate to use an intermediate weapon.
The CSOE committee has reached a consensus that the revised UFPD taser policy, which is more restrictive than State law and more restrictive than the previous UFPD policy, reflects an appropriate use and limitation on use of the taser as an intermediate weapon on campus.

Roid a Cops & Police Brutality
This is posted in an attempt to prevent police brutality and improve the safety of our communities. No copyright is claimed. Please reproduce at will. What might you expect to happen when "Toxic Victims" are called "mentally ill" and they meet up with a policeman that is "raging" from steroid abuse (aka roiding) ?
The steroid abuse as a factor in police shootings and abuse was pointed out to me in correspondences with The IDRISS STELLEY FOUNDATION http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeo9ewi/idrissstelleyfoundation/ that was started with the money won in a lawsuit for the death of IDRISS STELLEY after he was sshot48 times by 9 San Francisco policemen.
"Roid a cops" and police brutality, on a bad judgment call By the The Toxic Reverend, that has been asking, Who's a criminal ?
We as tax payers put out a lot of cash to train a policeman. They join the force, wanting to do good,help people and try to make a difference in a very screwed up world.
Some times, I have to wonder what changes ? How do some of them become "bad apples" and give their entire profession a bad name ?
For a few years, I have been doing research on the effects of the "low dose cumulative effects of toxic chemicals" with violence and abusive behavior.
Law enforcement is not excempt from such toxic chemical exposures. But they do maintain a harder "front" than most classes of society, with the "I am fine" presentation. Their ego's are just that way, or they probably would not be in that profession. Think about it. They risk their lives on a daily basis to "uphold the law". They are heroes. And as such, they are not to prone to saying, they have a problem, of any kind.
While I was researching this issue, I became acquainted with Mesha. . Her son had been shot 48 times by 9 San Francisco policeman. She started The IDRISS STELLEY FOUNDATION with the money from the wrongful death suit of her sons murder. http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeo9ewi/idrissstelleyfoundation/
Mesha was very kind and patient the times that I have called. But the other day, she got me. She admitted that yes, the toxic chemicals could also impact a policeman's decision to use deadly force. But then she asked what I thought might happen when a "Toxic Victim" (as I call "mentally ill") that is acting out, meets up with a policeman on steroids ?
Mesha agreed that everything that I was on about can apply to such a situation as an unjustified police shooting. But she also thought that steroid abuse by law enforcement is inducing some "bad judgment calls", more than anything else. And that these factors are being protected by the " Blue Wall of Silence".
So being an open minded hippy, after talking to Mesha, I did a couple of Google searches on the subject.
The results astounded me. The Google search terms were "police steroid abuse" and "police steroid abuse testing".
I thought I would find masses of articles about the police busting people for it. But nooooo, I find massive articles about police forces around the country being busted.
Si I tried posting "Roid-a-cops and police brutality" at myspace. It would not post. So I sent it to a number of friends at myspace. They could not get it to post. Though Ken said a couple of days later that he was able to post it. Seems there is a tracking program at myspace for censorship. This report has finally posted at Myspace bulletin's and my blog. After some serious complaining is rather public ways, across the Internet.
Anyway, I became rather frustrated and called Mesha. What I had decided to do was spread a "true rumor" that did seem to get "their attention". And not just Mysapce's.
I called the Sonoma County sheriff and a captain answered the phone. He said that the sheriff was unavailable. So I told the captain that I had done a Google search that shows police departments around the country were being busted by the feds for steroid abuse.
I told him the search terms and I could sense the panic in his voice. I told him that the searches reveal Boston police being busted by a federal grand jury investigation. Dallas also came up with the search and too many others to list.
Now I only went over the first ten results of the first search term and twenty of the second. When I got to the one about president Bush talking about steroid abuse in a State of the Union address, I stopped. After all, Bush was talking about steroid abuse in sports. Maybe he should have been a bit more specific and included law enforcement. You know .... the people that enforce the laws against such things as drug abuse.
Not that I want to snitch out the feds and risk screwing up any investigation that they might have. I am not aware of Sonoma County being investigated for steroid abuse. Maybe it isn't. Maybe it is ? All I know is that I do not want to be charged with "obstruction of justice", for bringing this to their attention. After all, more often than not, "no good deed goes unpunished".
What I can point out is what other police departments that have ignored the abuse of steroids like an ostrich, have found.
While they are so bent over with their heads in the sand, the feds sneak up and give them an exam that nobody likes. Regardless of sexual orientation.
As the prior mentioned search reveals, it was a Federal Grand Jury investigation that busted the Boston police department for steroid abuse.
Maybe if all of the San Francisco MUNI bus drivers that have to pee in a bottle for random drug screening became aware of this. They might be able to break the censorship and warn others of the impeding steroid exams .... or a, the investigations that have busted so many police departments around the country ?
One of my psychologists had told me that "the good and the bad news it that I am not paranoid or delusional".
Now please excuse me .... I need to get back to editing "Toxic Revelations" and my Myspace profile / blog. It is my intention to post this at my blog. If I can ......
Blessings,

..Well...
I am not sure how to relay it back to my son Idriss' murder by PD, you'll be the judge of what is relevant or appropriate to forward.
I know that my son got much sicker with his already severe asthma since I purchased a house for him in SF Bayview Hunters Point in 1997, a mile from the shipyard, and a block from Candlestick park.
Besides filtering his apartment air, drinking and cooking water, he would routinely pass out in the shower....until he intalled a filter on his shower head.
Idriss was in therapy since the age of 7 for chronic depression, and had never developped other signs of mental illness, but in the last 4 years of his life in Bayview, I helplessly saw him rapidly develop signs of hypomania, alternating periods of intense activity, sleep deprivation and very low tolerance to frustration, with periods of deep depression, withdrawal and isolation. Idriss never took drugs.
He tried to transcend his symptoms through
organic nutrition,
amino acids,
listening to music (eclectic taste, not only Tupac but Eric Sati, Narcisso Yepes, Bartok and the great classics!), reading the Coran and MalcomX, praying,
tutoring in Spanish, French and advanced Maths (City College, Wallenberg High School and Day Labor Program),
Art work (graphs, welding, airbrush)
Poetry writing
and lastly long debriefing sessions with Mom when time allowed for both of us,
Although my son did not develop violent tendencies, it is undebatable that our kids in Bayview's concentration span, tolerance to frustration, and overall emotional health, beside lethal asthma, lymphoma, arsenic poisoning, is deeply affected by the mortal chimicals that they are exposed to on a daily basis. I would recommend that you get in touch with Dr. Ahimsa Sumchai Porter, current Mayor Candidate in SF, if you want stats, and facts, she is the authority and has documented environmental toxicity in Bayview for decades.
She is horribly busy right now... have patience !
I can send you her email address.
You might want to rent at a library or purchase the movie "Straight outta Hunters Point" by Kevin Epps.
Now Cops and toxic exposure ? If they work routinely in highly toxic neighborhoods, I am certain that they are not exempt from the lethal affects of the chimicals they breathe, eat and drink on a daily basis right ? Flights of rage ?
Impaired judgement in crisis situations ?
Lowered inhibitions level?
Low concentration span that leads to lethal decisions/ shoot to kill?
That makes total sense....
I am more concerned by the chimicals that they deliberately chose to shoot up to increase muscle mass and reduce their level of fear as "Beat Cops", leading to so many casualties, for the cops themselves (heart attacks, suicides, domestic violence )andfor their victims...

³Eight Guards Charged: Torture, Sexual and Physical Abuse Alleged²
Arrest warrants were issued May 8, 2007 for eight former Florida Department of Corrections Hendry Correctional Institution prison guards. The guards had previously been fired over incidents surrounding a prisoner having been beaten and choked unconscious by a gang of guards at the South Florida prison. (See article in March/April 2007 Florida Prison Legal Perspectives.) FDOC investigation reports now allege that more than one prisoner was abused and imply that actual torture, sexual and physical abuse of prisoners was common at the prison.
The eight guards charged in the warrants issued by the Fort Myers¹ State Attorney face a combined 23 criminal charges, including battery on inmates, failure to report battery on inmates, and grand theft.
Those named in the warrants were identified as former sergeants Philip Barger, 30, James Brown, 34, Randy Hazen, 29, William Thiessen, 35, and Stephen Whitney, 33, and former correctional officers Kevin Filipowicz, 24, Ruben Ibarra, 23, and Gabriel Cotilla, 23.
The eight charged had been formerly employed at Hendry CI, a minimum to medium security 605 bed men¹s prison located near Ft. Myers. All of them had been fired in mid-March following an investigation started when another guard, not implicated in any wrongdoing, found and reported fresh bruises on a confinement prisoner¹s neck.
During a news conference following the issuance of the warrants, FDOC Secretary Jim McDonough described the former prison guards¹ actions as ³improper, illegal, inhuman.²
SHADES OF ABU GHRAIB
Invoking visions of the now infamous abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. military personnel at Abu Ghraib prison that shocked the world when photographs surfaced exhibiting torture, physical and sexual abuse, the FDOC investigation report on the former Hendry CI guards alleges that similar abuse has been occurring right here at home, in at least one Florida prison.
McDonough said that during the course of investigating the neck bruises on one prisoner, other incidents were substantiated by prison investigators and turned over to Ft. Myers state attorney Steve Russell, whose office issued the warrants. The other incidents were so bad Secretary McDonough also discussed the department¹s findings with federal officials because possible federal civil rights violations occurred at the prison.
³These were heinous acts,² said McDonough, a former U.S. Army colonel who was picked last year to run the FDOC by former Gov. Jeb Bush after a string of scandals lead to the former secretary, James Crosby, being forced to resign and later being charged and sentenced to federal prison for corruption. As for the incidents at Hendry CI that are now coming to light, McDonough said, ³There was a sadistic level to them.²
During the FDOC investigation, several years of reports on use-of-force against prisoners were reviewed. Some guards¹ names repeatedly showed up in the reports, some more than 50 times.
McDonough said the reports gave investigators a pattern that lead them to interview prisoners who had claimed to have been abused and brutalized by guards in the confinement unit at Hendry CI (those claims had been dismissed by HCI officials and FDOC personnel when brought to their attention). The reports and interviews resulted in a picture emerging of a group of brutal sadistic guards, said McDonough.
³These were not spontaneous involvements. There was deliberate planning,² McDonough now says. McDonough had initially claimed that the beating and choking of the prisoner in March that started the investigation was an ³isolated incident,² a term that his predecessor James Crosby was fond of using to minimize scandals during his tenure as secretary.
FDOC investigation documents and the criminal warrants shed some light on just what has been occurring at Hendry CI. Claims were substantiated that numerous prisoners had been beaten and choked unconscious. Some prisoners had been forced by prison guards to clean toilets with their tongues. In other instances, prisoners were forced to choose between performing sex acts on guards or performing other acts like eating food off the floor like an animal. Often, no matter what choice was made, the prisoners were beaten and brutalized by guards.
Although there are video cameras now in most confinement units at Florida prisons, the cameras are usually positioned so that nothing can be seen of what actually goes on inside confinement cells and there are blind spots that the cameras don¹t cover. Otherwise, there may have been Abu Ghraib-like photos from Hendry CI. To his credit, McDonough has now directed that new policies be implemented requiring all uses-of-force to be videotaped in the prisons.
The eight former guards turned themselves in on the same day the warrants were issued. They were all released on $1000 bail. All of the former guards except James brown were charged with first degree misdemeanors for abusing prisoners while Brown was charged with grand theft. State prosecutors gave no explanation for why the former guards were only charged with misdemeanors, which appears odd considering the FDOC investigation findings.

FDOC investigation documents and the criminal warrants shed some light on just what has been occurring at Hendry CI. Claims were substantiated that numerous prisoners had been beaten and choked unconscious. Some prisoners had been forced by prison guards to clean toilets with their tongues. In other instances, prisoners were forced to choose between performing sex acts on guards or performing other acts like eating food off the floor like an animal. Often, no matter what choice was made, the prisoners were beaten and brutalized by guards.
Although there are video cameras now in most confinement units at Florida prisons, the cameras are usually positioned so that nothing can be seen of what actually goes on inside confinement cells and there are blind spots that the cameras don¹t cover. Otherwise, there may have been Abu Ghraib-like photos from Hendry CI. To his credit, McDonough has now directed that new policies be implemented requiring all uses-of-force to be videotaped in the prisons.
The eight former guards turned themselves in on the same day the warrants were issued. They were all released on $1000 bail. All of the former guards except James brown were charged with first degree misdemeanors for abusing prisoners while Brown was charged with grand theft. State prosecutors gave no explanation for why the former guards were only charged with misdemeanors, which appears odd considering the FDOC investigation findings.

Police State
Behind BALCO: The Hidden Officer Involved Shooting by junya Sunday Apr 16th, 2006 10:28 AM
If the BALCO case is strictly about drug use in sports, then why is Barry Bonds represented by Michael Rains - a lawyer whose entire legal career has been spent protecting police from prosecution? While we're being distracted by the Bonds saga, are we missing a connection between steroids and police?
banner.jpg5klg4w.jpg
I tried to ignore the BALCO story. But you have to admire the aerobic stamina of the pundits. To spew pompous indignation over the possibility that a ball player might have lied and ditched his Wheaties for the real 'Breakfast of Champions', while failing to take note of an administration that has elevated the sport of lying and cheating to Olympian heights, must require endless hours with one's head up one's ass. Sensationalize the trivial, while ignoring the crucial: straight out of Psyops 101. But it's clear that this is about more than testosterone. One month after Bush mentioned steroid abuse in his 2004 State of the Union address, his top cop, John Ashcroft, paused from his busy schedule of abduction and torture to announce the BALCO indictments at a nationally televised news conference in Washington DC. But if the BALCO case is strictly about drug use in sports, then why is Barry Bonds represented by a lawyer whose entire legal career has been spent protecting police from prosecution? Why didn't KGO ask that question when, in Dec. 2004, it reported that Barry Bonds' lawyer, Michael Rains, spoke "at a crowded news conference in Oakland, where he's participating as a defense lawyer in 'The Riders' trial"?
[2] Isn't it surprising that someone who can afford top-of-the-line legal defense is represented by the Mr. Fix-it for law enforcement low-lifes? Lawyers defending police are not accustomed to vigorously building a case, because courts seldom convict law enforcement. Doesn't Bonds realize the court is not going to cut the same slack for an 'uppity' black

in Top 25 Censored Stories for 2009Posted at: http://www.projectcensored.org/top-stories/articles/25-bushs-real-problem-with-eliot-spitzer/Excerpt: Timing suggests that Spitzer was likely a target of a White House and Wall Street operation to silence one of its most dangerous and vocal critics of their handling of the current financial market crisis. Spitzer had become increasingly public in blaming the Bush administration for the subprime crisis. He testified in mid-February before the US House of Representatives Financial Services subcommittee and later that day, in a national CNBC interview, laid blame squarely on the administration for creating an environment ripe for predatory lenders. On February 14, the Washington Post published an editorial by Spitzer titled, “Predatory Lenders’ Partner in Crime: How the Bush Administration Stopped the States From Stepping In to Help Consumers,” which charged, “Not only did the Bush administration do nothing to protect consumers, it embarked on an aggressive and unprecedented campaign to prevent states from protecting their residents from the very problems to which the federal government was turning a blind eye.”In this editorial, Spitzer explained: End of excerpt from: # 25 Bush’s Real Problem with Eliot Spitzer | Project Censored

4 - The "Rajneesh Incident of 1984" This was not the first nor the largest biological weapons attack in America, on American's.
Prelude and verifiable basic background information:
For verifiable facts concerning non-lethal biological weapons associated with dozens of chronic illnesses and cancers,check out theses web pages. These are verifiable and not just conspiracy theories: Gulf War Vets, The Sunshine Project Peer reviewed medical journal articles with treatment options can be found at The Institute for Molecular Medicine A "plain language" review of the genetically spliced "Incapacitating Agents" that cause the "Gulf War Syndrome" that many veterans are sick with, can be found at Project Day Lily Project Day Lily is based on a true story. The authors wrote Project Day Lily in order to shed light on a crisis facing our country and the world. A fictional format was used to maximize dramatic content; the events described are true, and the scientific principles discussed in the book have been documented in the authors' publications, reports and sworn testimony to Presidential Commissions and committees of the U. S. Congress.
That said, this blog posting is a review of what many consider the first and largest biological weapons attack on American's, in 1984. The Gulf War Vets have documentation posted and have made a DVD called "Beyond Treason" that shows the "Rajneesh Incident of 1984" was neither the first nor the largest biological weapons attack on America.
The video below makes reference to the a biological weapons attack on American's, in America. In which hundreds were sickened, in a small Oregon town (1984). Google search terms; "Rajneesh biological weapons attack"
While it has never been proven exactly who was responsible, many blamed "The Rajneesh". It does seem probable that "food poisoning" was a government COINTELPRO operation.
Background:
In 1984, there was a commune of about 10,000 people called "Rajneeshpuram". When you at first arrived there, you were checked for STD's and given a red bead to wear. Once you were cleared (about ten days for the test results), you were given your choice of a blue or a green bead to wear. Blue, ask me I might. Green, ask me I probably will. Or you could choose two red beads that meant you were in a "committed monotonous" or I mean a "monogamous relationship".
A man called, "Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh", was also called "the Love Guru". He had changed his name to "Osho", before his death.
To simply state the philosophy, "Blessed are those that give,for the God's of Love thrive upon orgasms". But seriously; The belief being that if sexual desires distract you from Spiritual pursuit, eliminate the distraction by satisfying it. Contrary to the pink collar crimes of Catholic priests.
What the video posted below does not tell you is the the government had a COINTELPRO operation that undermined the votes among the homeless. Of whom where a little upset about the thorazine in beer that the Rajneesh had used as a form of control.....in attempts to keep the homeless people that they had brought in from around the country "mellow". How ever, the "thorazine incident" does go against the "core values" of the Rajneesh and does follow typical COINTELPRO and the
Twenty-Five Ways To Suppress Truth, The Rules of Disinformation (Includes The 8 Traits of A Disinformationalist) by H. Michael Sweeney
The Rajneesh had brought in enough people to out vote the citizens of Cantaloupe and renamed the city, Rajneeshpuram. Of which had also put a Congressional seat with in their grasp.Prior to this, there were Congressional allegations of residents in the city of Cantaloupe having been poisoned to disrupt their voting process. In reference, try a Google search on "Rajneesh poisoned Cantaloupe". It is my belief that the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh ("Osho") was ignorant of what some of his "followers" (or government operatives) were doing with the thorazine and food poisoning techniques. While it has never been proven exactly who was responsible, many blamed "Ma Sheela". Even though it does seem more probable that both instances were a government COINTELPRO operation.
Irregardless, Osho was deported and some of the followers (called sannyasins) were jailed and later released. While I was at the commune with about 10,000 other people for a month, I did not become a sannyasins.
There were some "homeless individuals", built like Rambo with short military style hair cuts. At least one of whom was always talking about how the Rajneesh were just using us to get control of the county with our votes and would "dump us" after they got it. So when the county changes the voting rules right before the election, requiring a six month residency to vote, the Rajneesh could have fought it. But they had lost about half of the votes from the homeless, that were ready to vote for the county, anyway.
I was rather astounded at the amount of propaganda that was in the news, at the time (1984), when I left. Leaving me to wonder if the Rajneesh leaders might have been framed and set up by the very people that investigated them. The video does make mention of Osho inviting the investigation, though I suspect that he was not prepared for the treachery and betrayal of the "COINTELPRO".

Post Script:
Just for the record, my mind set with this topic, and if you have an interest in "what love is" (the meaning of love), read the book,
The Road Less Traveled by Scott Peck
and check out the workbook,
Exploring the Road Less Traveled: A Study Guide for Small Groups by Alice Howard, Walden Howard, Scott Peck, M.D. (Foreword by)
I did the study group twice, back in the 1990's and have found it to be about progress, not perfection.
The "Road Less Traveled" presents what Osho was really teaching, from another perspective. Much of what Osho taught has been obscured by propaganda.
What Osho really taught was that there is a one all powerful God with many roads that lead unto. "A God, is a God, is a God and by any other name, is a God. So choose your path and get to know God".
The Rajneesh also taught in 1984 that HIV was a heterosexual disease and not just a problem for the gays and drug addicts. As the government was then saying. The Rajneesh even went out and educated prostitutes about safe sex and the importance of using a condom. Again, this was back in 1984 and no doubt helped to save more than a few lives.

The Triple Combination of Mental Health:In reference:
1: The Toxic Lotto
2: Infectious Agents
3: Nutritional The following does not include other social factors, such as exposure
to violence ( PTSD) and or other psychological influences. This blog is
R&D that is focused on more tangible influences. It is worth noting that
the "thresh-hold point" at which an individual enters into the "fight or flight
response" (and suicide - homicide by extension) can be influenced by the
factors listed at this blog. More over, if only the "psychological influences"
are dealt with by such influences as violence in movies, I would expect a
reduction in violence and homicides with a corresponding increase in
depression and or suicides. Unless the "Trigger Pull" of the "Thresh-Hold Point"
into such conditions as the "Fight or Flight Response" are modified.
One of the conclusions that I have come to is that the combination's of toxic chemicals (the Toxic Lotto") can work synergistic with various infectious agents combination's. Such as non-lethal biological weapons known as "Incapacitating Agents" and or other infectious agents. The third "combination is nutritional with the recovery aspect.
Many toxic chemicals and or combination's of them can exhibit the same
signs and symptoms as some infectious agents. While toxic chemical
exposures can also impair the immune system of which can enables the
infectious agents to proliferate.

The Toxic Lotto 1: Title of article: Environmental Connections: A Deeper Look into Mental Illness Click the issue information to go to the article :>: Environmental Health Perspectives Volume 115, Number 8, August 2007 Their "general conclusion" (in the above article) is that mental illness is not "so genetic" and most likely due to toxic chemical exposures.....

EHP is published by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and its content is free online.

Such as the breast, prostate and brain. __________
Edit update:
Bill Moyers of the Public Broadcasting System did a show named Trade Secrets
and has created a web page of the same name (26) with in regard to "industry"
covering up the damage to OUR HEALTH from toxic chemicals, for over
fifty years.
Bill Moyers was tested for over 800 toxic chemicals and over 80 chemicals
(at various levels of exposure) were found, in him (26).
That presents the

Please note that there are peer reviewed medical journals for the treatment of such infectious agents that include nutritional supplements with antibiotic therapies. They are posted at The Institute Of Molecular Medicinewww.immed.org Treatment Considerationshttp://www.immed.org/illness/treatment_considerations.htmlIt is also worth noting that you can get well with just the nutritional therapies. But only using the antibiotic therapies to get and stay well appears to be inadequate. Detoxification from chemicals and heavy metals is also advised in some of the peer reviewed medical journals.

Nutritional
In the movie "Super Size Me"" a school of children
had learning disabilities and behavioral problems. After the kids were put on an organic diet that included certain nutritional supplements that were not mentioned in the movie, they kids had an astounding "recovery".
This was done with "Natural Ovens" and Pail Stitt,
Barbra Stitt's husband. Her book " Food and Behavior" was the basis for the approach that they took with the kids. And it was done at no additional cost to the school system. This is also applicable in mental
health wards, as well as jails and other institutions.
Jeffery Barr PhD and Barbra Stitt were a consultant with the school in the movie "Super Size Me" that used diet to straighten
out the kids with behavioral problems. ......
Some vitamins and nutritional supplements can actually make you sick.
One of the better sources that I have found with archived free newsletters
on this topic is Raymond Francis from Beyond Health www.beyondhealth.com
Many of today's "organic" and or "Natural" products and foods are actually toxic.
For instance, the highest level of perchlorate (a toxic rocket fuel additive) was in
"organic baby green lettuce".

Presently, I am advocating for the testing of toxic chemical exposures in the "mentally ill", "Toxic Victims". The Biomonitoring Program in California is now underway. The upcoming "Public Input Meetings" with the nine member scientific advisory panel that will decide who gets tested for what and how they will get tested are posted at the California Environmental Contaminant Biomonitoring Programhttp://www.oehha.ca.gov/multimedia/biomon/index.htmlNow what might you expect to happen when a "toxic victim" is called "mentally ill" (with all of the associated stigma's), meets up with a policeman pumped full of steroids ?

Exposing The Toxic Cover Up:
This translate into most of the patients needing to be evaluated
and treated for toxic chemicals being told that they have a medication
(drug) deficiency. They are then prescribed medications like SSRI's
like Prozac or Paxil (to name only two). Still there are no doubt some instances when some medications are needed with toxic chemical exposures. Just do not let them prescribe medications with out a toxic chemical exposure evaluation being done, too. More often than not, they just prescribe meds with out any such toxic chemical evaluation.

A Congressional Report states that of the 1,400 chemicals known to cause cancer, less than 6% are tracked (145B). The huge transnational companies that produce toxic chemicals found in pesticides, herbicides and industrial and household products profit not only from the sale of these products, but also from the symptoms and chronic illnesses that they can trigger (157). To simplify the complexity of the controversy (14), I will give this example. Bill Moyers of the Public Broadcasting System did a show named Trade Secrets and has created a web page of the same name (26). There is to much documentation there to list, in regard to "industry" covering up the damage to OUR HEALTH from toxic chemicals, for over fifty years. Bill Moyers was tested for over 800 toxic chemicals and over 80 chemicals (at various levels of exposure) were found, in him (26). That presents the potential for more viable chemicals reaction variations than the pick six lottery in one patient from the perspective of LDCETC's ! But regardless of this, many of the "tolerable levels of exposure" to a (singular) toxic chemical have been fraudulently produced for decades. But it is well documented in the book "Toxic Deception (81) that they have known this since the 1970's. In the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's, Industrial Bio-Test Laboratories (IBT) performed about 35-40% of all U.S. Toxicology testing. Of the 867 audits of IBT performed by the FDA under the 1962 law, 618 were found to be invalid because of numerous discrepancies between the study conduct and data. FDA flexed its muscles and found four IBT managers guilty of fraud." Yet the EPA has still been accepting these "studies" that are financed by industry, with out any real review !!! http://www.westgard.com/guest16.htm___________ Scientists mobilizing to fight FDA & EPA corruption More than 60 influential scientists, including over 40 Nobel laureates, are mobilizing scientists and citizens alike to push for reforms that will protect our health, safety, and environment.

The giant food corporations have one mission: selling more food and beverage products to consumers. Succeeding with that mission depends on keeping consumers in the dark on certain issues such as the presence cancer-causing chemicals found in popular food products.
Here are ten things the food corporations, whose products dominate grocery store shelves across the United States and other countries, absolutely do not want you to know.
1. The ingredients listed on the label aren't the only things in the food. Cancer-causing chemicals such as acrylamides may be formed in the food during high-heat processing, yet there's no requirement to list them on the label. Residues of solvents, pesticides and other chemicals may also be present, but also do not have to be listed. The National Uniformity for Food Act, currently being debated in the U.S. Congress, would make it illegal (yes, illegal) for states to require cancer warnings on foods that contain cancer-causing chemicals (such as California's Proposition 65.) See articles on the Food Uniformity Act.
2. Monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is added to thousands of food and grocery products through a dozen different innocent-sounding ingredients, imbalances endocrine system function, disabling normal appetite regulation and causing consumers to keep eating more food. This chemical not only contributes to nationwide obesity, it also helps food companies boost repeat business. See articles on MSG.
3. MSG is routinely hidden in foods in these ingredients: yeast extract, torula yeast, hydrolyzed vegetable protein and autolyzed yeast. Thousands of common grocery products contain one or more of these chemical taste enhancers, including nearly all "vegetarian" foods such as veggie burgers (read labels to check). See Food manufacturers hide dangerous ingredients in everyday foods by using confusing terms on the label.
4. ADHD in children is caused almost entirely by the consumption of processed food ingredients such as artificial colors and refined carbohydrates. Eighty percent of so-called ADHD children who are taken off processed foods are cured of ADHD in two weeks. See articles on ADHD.
5. The chemical sweetener aspartame, when exposed to warm temperatures for only a few hours, begins to break down into chemicals like formaldehyde and formic acid. Formaldehyde is a potent nerve toxin and causes damage to the eyes, brain and entire nervous system. Aspartame has been strongly linked to migraines, seizures, blurred vision and many other nervous system problems. See articles on aspartame.
6. Most food dips (like guacamole dip) are made with hydrogenated oils, artificial colors and monosodium glutamate. Many guacamole dips don't even contain avocados.
7. Plastic food packaging is a potent health hazard. Scientists now know that plastics routinely seep the chemical bisphenol A into the food, where it is eaten by consumers. Cooking in plastic containers multiplies the level of exposure. Bisphenol is a hormone disruptor and can cause breast formation in men and severe hormonal imbalances in women. It may also encourage hormone-related cancers such as prostate cancer and breast cancer. See Plastics chemical bisphenol A found to promote prostate cancer in animal studies.
8. Milk produced in the United States comes from cows injected with synthetic hormones that have been banned in every other advanced nation in the world. These hormones help explain why unusually young teenage girls develop breasts at such a young age, or why hormone-related cancers like prostate cancer are being discovered in unprecedented numbers. In order to protect Monsanto, the manufacturer of hormones used in the industry, the USDA currently bans organic milk producers from claiming their milk comes from cows that were not treated with synthetic hormones. Even organic milk is now under fire as the Organic Consumers Association says Horizon milk products are falsely labeled as organic. See Horizon milk, Wild Oats named in consumer boycott of "false" organic products. (The solution to all this? Drink raw almond milk instead. Make it yourself with a Vitamix, water and a nut milk bag.)
9. Most grocery products that make loud health claims on their packaging are, in reality, nutritionally worthless (like meal replacement shakes, instant chocolate milk, etc.). The most nutritious foods are actually those the FDA does not allow to make any health claims whatsoever: fresh produce. See articles on food labeling.
10. Food manufacturers actually "buy" shelf space and position at grocery stores. That's why the most profitable foods (and hence, the ones with the lowest quality ingredients) are the most visible on aisle end caps, checkout lanes and eye-level shelves throughout the store. The effect of all this is to provide in-store marketing and visibility to the very foods and beverages that promote obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease and other degenerative conditions now ravaging consumers around the world. See articles on food marketing.

------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Justice is Homeless Date: Jun 4, 2007 5:26 PM Subject: Common chemicals linked to breast cancer To: Toxic Reverend
Please note the fair use statement after this copyrighted article. Common chemicals are linked to breast cancerBy, Marla Cone, , L.A. Times Staff Writer May 14, 2007 .
More than 200 chemicals — many found in urban air and everyday consumer products — cause breast cancer in animal tests, according to a compilation of scientific reports published today. Writing in a publication of the American Cancer Society, researchers concluded that reducing exposure to the compounds could prevent many women from developing the disease. The research team from five institutions analyzed a growing body of evidence linking environmental contaminants to breast cancer, the leading killer of U.S. women in their late 30s to early 50s. Experts say that family history and genes are responsible for a small percentage of breast cancer cases but that environmental or lifestyle factors such as diet are probably involved in the vast majority. "Overall, exposure to mammary gland carcinogens is widespread," the researchers wrote in a special supplement to the journal Cancer. "These compounds are widely detected in human tissues and in environments, such as homes, where women spend time." The scientists said data were too incomplete to estimate how many breast cancer cases might be linked to chemical exposures. But because the disease is so common and the chemicals so widespread, "the public health impacts of reducing exposures would be profound even if the true relative risks are modest," they wrote. "If even a small percentage is due to preventable environmental factors, modifying these factors would spare thousands of women." The three reports and a commentary were compiled by researchers from the Silent Spring Institute, http://www.silentspring.org/ a women's environmental health organization in Newton, Mass.; Harvard's Medical School and School of Public Health in Boston; the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y.; and USC's Keck School of Medicine. Silent Spring Institute Executive Director Julia Brody led the team.
In response to the findings, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a breast cancer prevention group that funded the work, pledged an additional $5 million for developing research tools to root out environmental causes.
Reviewing hundreds of existing studies and databases, the team produced what it called "the most comprehensive compilation to date of chemicals identified as mammary carcinogens." No new chemical testing was conducted for the reports.
The researchers named 216 chemicals that induce breast tumors in animals. Of those, people are highly exposed to 97, including industrial solvents, pesticides, dyes, gasoline and diesel exhaust compounds, cosmetics ingredients, hormones, pharmaceuticals, radiation, and a chemical in chlorinated drinking water.
"Almost all of the chemicals were mutagenic, and most caused tumors in multiple organs and species; these characteristics are generally thought to indicate likely carcinogenicity in humans, even at lower exposure levels," they reported.
For many of the compounds, the federal government has not used animal breast cancer data when conducting human risk assessments, which are the first step toward regulating chemicals or in setting occupational standards to protect workers. Companies are not required to screen women who work with the chemicals for breast cancer.
"Regulators have not paid much attention to potential mammary carcinogens," the researchers wrote.
Toxicologists say that other mammals, such as rats and mice, often develop the same tumors as humans do, and that animal tests are efficient means of testing the effects of chemicals. Environmental regulators, however, often want conclusive human data before taking action.
Animal studies generally use high doses of a substance to simulate a lifetime of exposure, and then the results are extrapolated to the lower levels that people are exposed to.
Ana Soto, a Tufts University professor of cell biology who specializes in cellular origins of cancer and effects of hormone-disrupting contaminants, said there probably was a link between breast cancer and exposures to chemicals in the environment, particularly early in life.
"I cannot say I'm convinced, but what I can say is that it's a very likely, very plausible hypothesis," said Soto, who did not participate in the new research. "More and more, cancer looks like an environmental disease."
Twenty-nine of the chemicals are produced in volumes exceeding 1 million pounds annually in the United States.
Seventy-three are present in consumer products or are food contaminants — 1,4-dioxane in shampoos, for example, or acrylamide in French fries. Thirty-five are common air pollutants, 25 are in workplaces where at least 5,000 women are employed, and 10 are food additives, according to the reports.
There are probably many more than 216, the research team said, because only about 1,000 of the 80,000 chemicals registered for use in the United States have been tested on animals to see whether they induce cancerous tumors or mutate DNA. Such tests cost $2 million each.
Because epidemiological studies are difficult to conduct and full of uncertainties, human data are "still relatively sparse," the researchers wrote. Only 152 studies worldwide have examined whether women exposed to contaminants are more likely to have breast cancer — compared with nearly 1,500 that have explored the links between diet and the disease — and most of the 216 carcinogens were not included.
"Despite this large remaining gap, research in the last five years has strengthened the human evidence that environmental pollutants play a role in breast cancer risk," the researchers wrote. They said the existing studies suggested "substantial public health impact."
Human evidence is particularly strong for PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls — compounds widely used in the 1940s to late 1970s that still contaminate fish and other foods — and for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs, found in diesel and gasoline exhaust.
Solvents in dry cleaning, aircraft maintenance and other jobs also may increase breast cancer risk.
Some of the chemicals named as breast carcinogens already are regulated to protect public health, but some, particularly those in consumer products, are not.
The scientists conducted the review hoping to lay the groundwork for new human studies, as well as to persuade regulators to use existing animal data to strengthen regulations and require more testing of chemicals.
"Animal models are the primary means of understanding and anticipating effects of chemicals in humans," they wrote. "All known human carcinogens … are also carcinogenic in animals."
Emerging evidence suggests that the roots of breast cancer are in infancy or the womb. More animal and human research should focus on such early exposure, said Patricia Hunt, a Washington State University School of Molecular Biosciences professor.
But Hunt and Soto urged society not to wait for scientific proof to reduce exposure to the chemicals.
"When you look at their list of chemicals, we are exposed to all of it," Soto said. "We know humans are exposed to mixtures, and studying mixtures is very difficult. We will never have the whole picture, and it will take many, many years to collect epidemiological evidence, so we should take some preventive measures now."
Although virtually all women are exposed to the chemicals, some may be more susceptible because of differing metabolism or ability to repair DNA.
Breast cancer is probably triggered by an interaction of multiple environmental and genetic factors.
Experts have long suspected diet plays a role. But the new research found "no association that is consistent, strong and statistically significant" for any particular foods raising or reducing breast cancer risk. There is substantial evidence, however, that regularly consuming alcohol, being obese and being sedentary increase risk.
About 178,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year in the United States.

It is my opinion as an Environmental Technologist that this APOe ( aka Apolipoprotein E) is just as applicable to Breast Cancer as it is to cardiovascular problems, macular degeneration, and mental illnesses (to name a few). Now I am just an ET and not a medical doctor, but it seems to me that the ability to detox might influence the DNA repair, too.
In some of the other blogs, I give reports that show medical x-rays can multiply the toxic impact of toxic chemicals and give reference material for 70& of the breast cancer cases being associated with medical x-rays, because of that.

Dear NewsTarget readers,
Continuing with our coverage of the breast cancer industry, today we bring you a feature story about the American Cancer Society and its failure to support any real effort to educate women about the extreme importance of vitamin D for preventing cancer. We also talk about "pinkwashing" and reprint a press release from Breast Cancer Action, the *honest* breast cancer non-profit that takes no money from companies that profit from the disease.
Also today: Did you know patients are being killed by chemotherapy pumps? A short story brings you the detail on that, and another story on parabens in cosmetics discusses the health threat from this common chemical found in virtually all popular personal care products.

After my notes in red tyoe;
Please see the attached forwarded LA Times news paper story that declares the vast majority of breast cancers are due to toxic environmental exposures. And that genetics play a much smaller role than previously thought. My thoughts are that the issue of genetics in various diseases is still "misconstrued".
There is a lot of reference material with regard to the common sources of toxic chemical exposures, on this blog, too. One interview with the EPA says over 70% of exposures are from indoor air polution in our own homes. But another article (reference 144 in a prior blog) interviews a CDC researcher that say's food is the main source of exposure. A book titled "Diet For A New America" won a Pulitzer Prize and exposed dairy products and meat as being major sources of pesticide exposures. Many "Environmental Doctors agree with food being the number one source of exposure. Another book titled, "Fateful Harvest" exposes toxic chemicals being disposed of in fertilizer and and used with even "organic food". (Baby Green Organic lettuce had the highest levels of perchlorate of all the foods tested). In prior blogs, ( example Saturday, July 07, 2007 ) I give reference material on medical X-rays increasing the toxicity of toxic chemicals and that X-rays are associated with over 70% of the cases of breast cancer. (An alert, copied from the Breast caner Fund is there too, concerning breast cancer and medical x-rays).
Also updating the blog of Saturday, July 07, 2007 Breast Cancer, X-rays and The Toxic Money Trail In short, medical studies have been "skewed" with incomplete information. Try a Google on "tobacco radiation" and "tobacco pesticide regulations". You will find a number of good investigative journalist reports from verifiable news sources showing that tobacco smoke is full of radioactive pesticides (nerve gas). While a Congressional Report have proven that less than 6% of the know cancer causing chemicals are tracked in cancer cases. The medical studies have been "skewed" with incomplete information as it relates to X-rays and breast cancer and the impact of Depleted Uranium with the Gulf War Vets of whom have posted a DVD titled "Beyond Treason" about that subject. And while most American's are unaware of the numerous radioactive "hot spots" in America, our government continues to release radioactive DU on unsuspecting cities. Such as the San Francisco area, reported another censored article;
I have also added some information to be aware of the genetic testing for the ability to detoxify, such as whar is called APOe (Genetic testing for detoxification proficiency).
Excerpt from the LA Times story , posted below:>
"Although virtually all women are exposed to the chemicals, some may be more susceptible because of differing metabolism or ability to repair DNA".
End of quote from LA newspaqper.
It is my opinion as an Environmental Technologist that this APOe ( aka Apolipoprotein E) is just as applicable to Breast Cancer as it is to cardiovascular problems, macular degeneration, and mental illnesses (to name a few). Now I am just an ET and not a medical doctor, but it seems to me that the ability to detox might influence the DNA repair, too.
In some of the other blogs, I give reports that show medical x-rays can multiply the toxic impact of toxic chemicals and give reference material for 70& of the breast cancer cases being associated with medical x-rays, because of that.

Go to Original at:> http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/28/AR2007072801420.html Excerpts: Richard H. Carmona, who commissioned the "Call to Action on Global Health" while serving as surgeon general from 2002 to 2006, recently cited its suppression as an example of the Bush administration's frequent efforts during his tenure to give scientific documents a political twist. At a July 10 House committee hearing, Carmona did not cite Steiger by name or detail the report's contents and its implications for American public health. After a long struggle that pitted top scientific and medical experts inside and outside the government against Steiger and his political bosses, Carmona refused to make the requested changes, according to the officials. Carmona engaged in similar fights over other public health reports, including an unpublished report on prison health. A few days before the end of his term as the nation's senior medical officer, he was abruptly told he would not be reappointed.

__________________________________________ Distortions are said to serve policy goals More than 60 influential scientists, including 20 Nobel laureates, have issued a statement asserting that the Bush administration has systematically distorted scientific fact in the service of policy goals on the environment, health, biomedical research and nuclear weapons at home and abroad.
The sweeping accusations on Wednesday were discussed later in a conference call organized by the Union of Concerned Scientists, an independent organization that focuses on technical issues and has often taken stands at odds with administration policy. The organization also issued a 38-page report Wednesday.
The statement and report accuse the administration of repeatedly censoring and suppressing reports by its own scientists, stacking advisory committees with unqualified political appointees, disbanding government panels that provide unwanted advice, and refusing to seek independent scientific expertise in some cases.
According to the report, the Bush administration has misrepresented scientific consensus on global warming, censored at least one report on climate change, manipulated scientific findings on the emissions of mercury from power plants and suppressed information on condom use.
The report asserts that the administration allowed industries with conflicts of interest to influence technical advisory committees and subjected prospective members of scientific panels to political litmus tests. "Other administrations have, on occasion, engaged in such practices, but not so systematically nor on so wide a front," the statement from the scientists said, adding that they believed the administration had "misrepresented scientific knowledge and misled the public about the implications of its policies."
Kurt Gottfried, an emeritus professor of physics at Cornell University who is chairman of the board of directors of the Union of Concerned Scientists, said the administration had "engaged in practices that are in conflict with spirit of science and the scientific method."
John Marburger 3rd, science adviser to President George W. Bush and director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy at the White House, said it was important to listen to "the distinguished scientific leadership in this country." But he said the report by the Union of Concerned Scientists consisted of a largely disconnected list of events that did not make the case for a suppression of good scientific advice by the administration.
"I think there are incidents where people have got their feathers ruffled," Marburger said. "In most cases, these are not profound actions that were taken as the result of a policy. They are individual actions that are part of the normal processes within the agencies." D. Allan Bromley, the science adviser to President George H.W. Bush, the current president's father, went further. Bromley, a physicist at Yale, called the statement "clearly" politically motivated and said it was made up of "sweeping generalizations."
The Union of Concerned Scientists denied that it had political motives in releasing the documents as the 2004 presidential race began to take clear shape. The organization's report, Gottfried said, had taken a year to prepare, much longer than planned, and was released as soon as it was ready. "I don't see it as a partisan issue at all," said Russell Train, an administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. "If it becomes that way, I think it's because the White House chooses to make it a partisan issue." The letter was signed by luminaries from a broad array of disciplines. Among the Nobel winners are David Baltimore, Leon Lederman, Norman Ramsey, Harold Varmus and Steven Weinberg. Signatories and the union's report can be found at www.ucsusa.org.

Copy / paste of a bulletin at MySpace:> Summary: You've nothing to fear if you haven't done anything wrong… That's what law enforcement officials say about the tightening of 'anti-terrorism' laws. It's what politicians say with every civil liberty that gets swept away under a sea of surveillance.
Now the U.S Federal Bureau of Investigation is monitoring the internet social forum Myspace. It's even mailing malware and spyware out to myspace clients – it's how they caught out the kid making bomb threats against his high school in the article below. An issue that this incident raises though, is that whether you deserve the attention or not, here's what the FBI could be monitoring and compiling about your e-habits even as you read. This malware can log;
• your IP address • the MAC address of ethernet cards • A list of open TCP and UDP ports • A list of running programs • The operating system type, version and serial number • The default internet browser and version • The registered user of the operating system, and registered company name, if any • The current logged-in user name • The last visited URL
And more, unspecified data.
[Posted By faelnarr] ------------------------------------------------------ FBI's secret spyware tracks down teen who made bomb threats FBI agents trying to track the source of e-mailed bomb threats against a Washington high school last month sent the suspect a secret surveillance program designed to surreptitiously monitor him and report back to a government server, according to an FBI affidavit obtained by Wired News.
The court filing offers the first public glimpse into the bureau's long- suspected spyware capability, in which the FBI adopts techniques more common to online criminals.
The software was sent to the owner of an anonymous MySpace profile linked to bomb threats against Timberline High School near Seattle. The code led the FBI to 15-year-old Josh Glazebrook, a student at the school, who on Monday pleaded guilty to making bomb threats, identity theft and felony harassment.
In an affidavit seeking a search warrant to use the software, filed last month in U.S. District Court in the Western District of Washington, FBI agent Norman Sanders describes the software as a "computer and internet protocol address verifier," or CIPAV.
Sanders wrote that the spyware program gathers a wide range of information, including the computer's IP address…

*A Disaster To Take Everyone's Breath Away*By Geoffrey Lean12:00AM Monday July 24, 2006 http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/2/story.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10392615&pnum=0 - Severe drought is returning to the Amazon for a second successive year. And that would be ominous. New research suggests that one further dry year beyond that could tip the whole vast forest into a cycle of destruction.
 Amazon water levels have fallen so far that boats are stranded and communities are rationing water. Picture / Reuters
