		<description><![CDATA[Even voting for someone different won&#039;t change anything until we eliminate Lobby groups, have term limits, and serious campaign finance reforms installed, and more.  That probably won&#039;t even change anything.  It will affect some things, but what must change is the system itself that is at fault.  The apex underlying problem which faces the entire planet.  The monetary system.  This system, which is based on debt and interest has created the largest slave, and indentured servitude the world has ever seen.  No other system, government or party comes close.  As long as corporations can act like humans, except with no empathy or conscience, things will remain as is, no matter who you vote for.  There will be slight changes every few years or decades, but things will return to &quot;the norm&quot; of corruption.

Back in the American slavery days the plantation owners had to take care of their people(?) as they were an investment, tools so to speak.  House them, feed them, keep them healthy.  In today&#039;s day the people have to take care of themselves.  The corporations have become the slave owners.  The people work for the institutions that they then pay for their same services of housing, food, and health.  In essence becoming indentured servants on a global scale.  There used to be a time when one could raise their own food and eat.  Now, with Mansanto, Cargil, ADM and others we have become slaves to their seeds and corporate industrialized farming.  All created through a debt based system designed through the global banking system, the World Bank, the IMF and such.

As long as this society runs on a system that is based on debt and interest this world will be forever corrupted and include an elite and low class.  Which ever class you are in now, odds are you will stay there.  Play the lotto...

When the Treasury can print money from nothing, and out of that printing debt is created in such a multiple fashion to infinity, and as long as there are people in the world to socially stifle using debt creation the world will remain as it is.

What must be understood is that Anonz is simply privy to be of the small group (maybe 100-1000 people on the planet) with the capability to manipulate the system itself.  They will do so by writing and rewriting the rules of the game to their benefit.  He says to elect people that will stop this, however, in a debt based system they will always find someone who will sell their vote their way.

The system that must change is the monetary system.  The financial systems from the Fed, to the IMF, to the World Bank on down through the various other entities and governments of the world that perpetuate the global indentured servitude.  They are tied to the monetary system.  It&#039;s not even the dollar, as that is also a simple near valueless ingredient that will be replaced with another currency at some point.

As long as our society is structured from a negative based, or debt based structure, no one is free, not even the markets themselves.  Not even Anonz.  Although, his prison to the system is much different that anyone else.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[HOW TO BE A HAPPY DIETER: HIGH-CARB WEIGHT LOSS

Must a weight-loss diet make you feel grumpy and deprived? Not if you eat certain kinds of foods, says Australian research scientist Grant D. Brinkworth, PhD. 

In a year-long study, Dr. Brinkworth explored how two popular types of diet affect mood, with regular scheduled assessments at eight, 24, 40 and 52 weeks. He gathered 106 overweight and obese adults, average age of 50, and randomly assigned them to one of two diets.

 The first was high-fat, low-carb -- à la the Atkins diet... while the other was exactly the opposite -- high-carb, low-fat. Both diets counted calories and allowed dieters to eat within the range of 1,400 to 1,700/day.

At the end of the study year, members of both groups had lost, on average, 30.2 pounds -- enough to please most any dieter. But how did the dieters in the two groups feel?

MOOD AND YOUR FOOD

Using three different assessment tools, researchers found that both groups showed improved mood at eight weeks, but the good feelings continued throughout the year only for the high-carb group.

 Indeed, at the end of the year these men and women remained happier than the high-fat dieters who, though they had succeeded in losing as much weight, had returned to their pre-diet low spirits.

When I contacted Dr. Brinkworth about his study, he told me that both groups were told to follow the diets precisely for the first eight weeks, but after that were allowed to make some food exchanges so they could enjoy some (though limited) flexibility and choice.

 Overall, the high-fat group was allowed more than twice as much beef, chicken and fish, plus full-fat dairy products (versus reduced or nonfat for the high-carb dieters).

 On the other hand, high-carb dieters had far more foods to choose from and also were allowed to eat what lots of us call &quot;comfort foods&quot; in the form of a potato three times a week, pasta or rice four times a week, and beans or lentils twice a week.

WHY? SOME THEORIES

Dr. Brinkworth says the exact mechanism for how foods affect mood is unknown, but one possibility is that a very low-carb diet is a substantially different way to eat for many people, and repeatedly denying themselves the carbs they’ve enjoyed over the years affects mood.

 Another possibility -- carbs can increase mood-enhancing serotonin concentrations in the brain, compared with eating additional fat and proteins which has the opposite effect. However, Dr. Brinkworth says the study didn’t measure this variable.

The &quot;take-home&quot;? Pay attention to how you feel so you’ll be more likely to stay with your diet. Dr. Brinkworth told me that people who are used to having comfort foods should factor them into their weight loss plan in small amounts, while those who love a good steak can and should work that preference into their diet as well.

		<description><![CDATA[Just this once I will agree with the women on this blog. Anonz has and is challenging us to regulate him and the faction he represents.

Our anger and attention should be to accomplish just that. Regulation of all the people and businesses that are part of the financial sector. 

It does no good to throw verbal stones at Anonz. If we threw real stones and killed him, some other greed bastard who take his place. 

He is not my favorite guy. But he is correct when he states that the US supreme court has made it possible and legal for him to buy any politician he wants. 

Hell he can force a politician to do his bidding by telling him that he would spend a few hundred million supporting the opposition if he didn&#039;t vote as he wanted him to. 

How many of us would not change our minds for tens of millions much less a hew hundred million dollars?

For that kind of money I&#039;d change my vote. It is not like the people deserve any better since they consistently support the republican party.
